Chapter 32 The food has been divided

Fang Jing went to buy cloth with copper coins and came back, and then went to the salt shop to buy fifteen catties of salt, which was the end of today's shopping trip, mainly food, Fang Jing took some copper coins to buy some food, and then returned to the ox cart.

The time was only two quarters of an hour, the grain was loaded, Fang Jing nodded and sat with the coachman and set off towards Fangjia Village.

Sixteen ox carts slowly went to Fangjia Village, the distance was long, the last time I sold leopards, I walked for nearly three and a half hours, if you count it by foot, it will take three hours, you can't use Fang Jing's speed to calculate, if Fang Jing jumps, you can also rush to Fangjia Village within a quarter of an hour, the last time I got lost in the mountains and forests, it took two quarters of an hour to see Fangjia Village, and now the ox cart is even slower.

There are many people, cars, and food, and this road is peaceful, and I have not encountered any robbers, mainly in the mountains, and it is lucky to see individuals, not to mention the bandits, even when I rushed from the county seat to the market town yesterday, I did not meet the bandits.

Fang Jing didn't want any accidents to happen on this road, but he didn't want it to be impossible, no, an ox cart behind him was pressed on the couch, and bags of grain were overturned on the side of the road, Fang Jing looked at the frame of the couch, speechless, this is the ox cart of the grain store, the business is not good, all of them are getting some rags to fill up.

Fang Jing had no choice but to start disassembling the grain on the overwhelmed ox cart, putting bags on other ox carts, and after a quarter of an hour of delay, he returned to the road, threw the overwhelmed ox cart aside, and let the grain store driver go back to town.

Walked and walked until the sun turned west to the big banyan tree in Fangjia Village, Fang Jing called Xiaoshi home and called the village to inform everyone in the village to come to the big banyan tree, Fang Jing was ready to distribute the food for a while.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the people in the village, large and small, whether they were handy or young, came to the banyan tree to look at the grain of more than a dozen ox carts, and everyone was like a hungry wolf looking at a wounded calf in front of him.

"Jing Wazi, are you really going to distribute all this food to everyone?" Mura Zheng didn't believe that Fang Jing was so generous, this was more than 200 yuan to buy food, but not 200 yuan.

"Muramasa, the food I bought here is to be distributed to everyone, otherwise I wouldn't have bought so much grain back, and I still need Muramasa to command it later, so I can't arrange it." Fang Jing had already lined up the ox carts and waited for the villagers to come and receive the grain, but he was not very familiar with each family.

"Every household in Fangjia Village, now they are basically here, the food on these dozen or so ox carts is the grain that Jing Wazi sold for the tiger, and now everyone's family is out of food, Jing Wazi has a good heart, and the money from the sale of the tiger is exchanged for food and distributed to everyone, everyone should remember this feeling." More than 100 people in front of the village shouted loudly.

"Hello everyone, I am Fang Jing, and I am also familiar to everyone, the grain on these ox carts is bought to distribute to everyone to get through this difficulty, no more, no less, four stones per household, that is, four bags of rice, and half a catty of salt, first these, everyone began to obey the command of the village to move the grain. Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention one thing, the bag of rice has to be vacated, this is from the grain store in the town, and it has to be returned, if you don't pay it back, you have to give a hundred dollars a piece, so the big guy still vacated the bag, I don't have that much money to buy these cloth bags. Fang Jing stood on the ox cart and shouted a few words, and finally did not forget to make a joke, jumped off the ox cart, and began to let everyone listen to the command of the village, ran to the front of the two ox carts, moved a few bags of grain on the next ox cart and put them on the ground, and then said a few words to the coachman and prepared to rush home.

"Jing Wazi, Brother Jing, thank you!" More than 100 people in the village shouted in unison.

The people in the village don't speak much, mainly because they don't know what to say, everyone in the village is kind to Mu, and they have each other's support, so they don't say thank you, Fang Jing also hopes to see such a scene of solidarity and mutual assistance.

"Brother, brother." Fang Yuan ran over with Xiong Er, he hadn't seen Fang Jing for almost two days, and now that Fang Jing was back, he was very happy in his heart.

"Little sister, run slower, don't fall." Fang Jing saw Fang Yuan running over, and hurriedly ran over from the side of the ox cart to catch the villain, for fear that the villain would fall.

I took my little sister around and put it down, this is not the time to play, I have to drive the ox cart home, and I will have to unload the grain for a while.

The oxcart climbed, it was a laborious thing, Fang Jing had to push it with a little force in the back, and the oxcart came smoothly to the open space of Fang Jing's house, the little sister led Xiong Er and followed behind, staring at the oxcart left and right, it is estimated that it would be good to hope that there was an oxcart at home.

Fang Jing opened and carried the grain bag, ten stones of millet is ten bags, Fang Jing moved into the right room of the house in a few clicks, and began to move rice, also four stones, like the people in the village, this is the amount in the plan, and finally moved five pieces of cloth and put it in the right room, and finally three bamboo barrels of one and a half catties of coarse salt.

After moving things, he followed the ox cart to the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, seeing that there was still more than half of the grain not finished, he put the basket containing three pieces of money in his hand to Xiaomei for safekeeping, and began to help the nearby villagers move food.

Finally, after helping Aunt Xiu's family to move the last three bags of rice, he returned to the big banyan tree, and saw the guy in the grain store waiting there, and lifted the basket containing copper coins from the little sister's feet, and began to calculate the money with the guys in the grain store, Fang Jing's fourteen bags Fang Jing did not return it, so he had to give four dollars consistently, ten ox carts, and the broken one in the middle could not be counted as money, it was counted as two hundred and seventy yuan, and the total was always six hundred and seventy yuan.

Fang Jing first gave the usual copper coin, then untied another piece of money, counted three hundred and thirty coins and left, and the others went back and handed them to the guys, and the grain store guys also stood on the side and watched, seeing that the amount was right, and after collecting the money, he waited for the other villagers to return the bags on the side of the ox cart.

Fang Yuan on the side kept watching his brother counting the money, and felt that he didn't have any copper coins, so he looked at Fang Jing, hoping that Fang Jing could give her some money.

"What? Do you want copper coins? Here you go. Fang Jing used the rope to hand the remaining three hundred and thirty money to the little sister, watching the villain reach out to take the money, Fang Jing put it on it, and fell directly to the ground, Fang Jing scooped it up with his hand and held it in his hand again.

"Look, this copper coin is heavy, if you want money in the future, ask your brother directly, you are a villain in your hand, where can you lift it." Fang Jing had to let Xiaomei dispel the idea of asking for money.

"Then my brother gave me a few pennies, and the dog baby has a penny, and he showed it to me today, but it looks good." Fang Yuan also felt that these copper coins were too heavy for her to take them, but it didn't affect her to take a few pennies.

"Okay, I'll go home and tie it with a rope and I'll give it to you." Fang Jing thought of the five elements of money made by some feng shui gentlemen in her previous life, and felt that she could also try to make one for her little sister to carry.

"Uncle Li, are you going back overnight tonight? Or do you want to rest for one night in our Fangjia Village and leave tomorrow morning? Fang Jing asked Lao Li, the ox cart driver who was waiting on the side.

"Let's rush back overnight, and we can go to Xiaohe Town with the grain store in a while, so we won't be afraid of tigers and wolves." Lao Li Tou felt that it was inconvenient to stay in Fangjia Village, so it was better to go back overnight.

"Uncle Li, then let's calculate the money, you have a total of six ox carts, a total of two lies, I should give you three hundred and sixty yuan, Uncle Li, right." Fang Jing reported the number to Lao Li.

"Yes, yes, three hundred and sixty dollars, that's right." Lao Li Tou listened to the number of not bad.

Fang Jing untied the rope of the money, directly took off more than half of it, didn't count it, and handed it to Lao Litou.

"Brother Fang, this number is not right, it is much more."

"I'll buy you some food to eat and go back, there is nothing to eat in the village for you now." Fang Jing felt that Lao Li Tou and the three of them were driving six ox carts, which was hard enough, and the cattle were even harder, and it was not a matter to give an extra hundred and ten yuan.

"Thank you, Brother Fang, thank you, Brother Fang, if Brother Fang has something to do in the future, even if he comes to the county seat to find my old Li Tou, I may not be able to do anything else, there are still ox carts." Lao Li Tou and the three of them thanked Fang Jing vigorously, not because of the extra money, but because of the corresponding respect.

Fang Jing stood under the big banyan tree and looked at the distant convoy, the ox cart was still slow, but it was nearly twice as fast as when it came, it was full when it came, and it was back in time and space; When I came, I brought hope to Fangjia Village, and when I went, I took away the silent thanks of Fangjia Village.

Fang Jing held a basket with copper coins in her left hand, her right hand held her little sister, and her little sister held Xiong Er with her right hand.

When she returned home, she saw Aunt Xiu's family all standing in front of the open space, and Fang Jing didn't know what Aunt Xiu was doing at this time.

"Aunt Xiu, the sun is about to set, why don't you go home to cook and eat?" Fang Jing hurriedly asked.

"Jing Wazi, Aunt Xiu doesn't know how to thank you, I don't bring a family to say thank you to you, Aunt Xiu is not very good at talking, please don't be surprised."

"Aunt Xiu, what are you doing here? It's not good for a family to talk to two families. Fang Jing finally knew what this Aunt Xiu's family was doing, and she specially came over to thank her, which made Fang Jing's heart extremely warm.

"Jing Wazi is right, don't talk to two families in the family, you have to come over often to help your brother Jing do some work." Grandma said a word to save the scene, which can be regarded as avoiding more embarrassment.

"Grandma, Aunt Xiu, since you are here, then don't leave yet, let's cook and eat together for dinner, I will eat two cakes this day, I will be very hungry, and I will have to trouble Aunt Xiu to cook for a while." Fang Jing felt that she should have a big meal today to comfort the hard work of the past two days.

"Okay, Aunt Xiu will do it, you rest." Aunt Xiu began to go to the stove room.

"Aunt Xiu, you wash rice and cook rice first, Grandma, you rest, the little sister and the eldest girl come over to light the fire, and the dog baby has to run errands for me." Fang Jing took down a wax rabbit from the wall of the house, and squinted at the pony bear cub on the bamboo stick, which would be lying on his stomach weakly.

Fang Jing wanted to make cured rabbit meat stewed with bamboo shoots tonight, that taste, Fang Jing drooled when he thought about it, for Fang Jing, cured meat was the most indispensable food in life.

From ancient times to the present, for bacon, it is a symbol and a culture; In ancient times, there was bacon before the Qin and Han dynasties, and the bacon at that time was not called cured la, but called cured meat, and at that time, the sacrifice to the heavens or ancestors and gods to contribute items, the ancients made animal meat into dry meat, in the name of bait, sacrifice tribute, so it was called cured meat.

Before the Han Dynasty, the lunar calendar seasons of each dynasty were different, the Qin period took October 1 as the year, and the first year of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set January 1 of each year as the first day of the first day of the Yuan Dynasty; Then there was the saying of the wax moon, coupled with the snow and ice in winter, the animals returned to the nest, in order to be able to eat the meat, there was the wax moon salted meat, and then under the sun to burst or bake, in order to keep it for a long time, and then the name of bacon was used in the next few thousand years; In addition, among the six rituals of ancient binding, there is also a ritual that needs to be given to sun-dried bacon, rather than roasted jerky, which is also controversial, but what Fang Jing understands can be used as his own opinion.
