Chapter 7 Liu Lao Er is not an ordinary person

Whether it is in ancient times or in today's without an ID card, it is really difficult to move an inch, since there is a household registration, Wang Xingxin's heart is really stable in this strange Zhenguan years, it is time to go to Chang'an to take a walk, and it is also time to see the majesty of the ancient Chang'an city.

"New baby, don't be stunned, let's calculate the income from selling salt today, you have to sell salt today for forty-eight times, and after removing one of the expenses, you have to get twenty-eight times. The old man changed the brand-new Kaiyuan Tongbao in the silver building for you with silver cakes, so it is also convenient to collect them. The old man told you to hide the money, and we will build a new house in the next few days. The new baby is talented, how can he continue to live in the old man's small firewood house. ”

"Uncle Liu, don't worry about the new house, boy, and ask Uncle, is refined salt easy to sell in Chang'an City?"

"When the new baby doesn't go to Chang'an, I don't know that our refined salt is better than green salt, but it is the same price as green salt. In addition to the first time to sell salt, the burden of selling salt today was snatched up before it was put down, and now it is not bad to sell but not enough to sell, this old man bought ten loads of coarse salt today, presumably it will be enough to sell next time. It's just that there are few people in our village, and we can't refine ten loads of salt a day, and it seems that even if the whole village works in shifts day and night, it will take three days to refine it. ”

"Uncle, this is not in a hurry, everyone is tired today and rests for the time being, let's refine it tomorrow morning, three days will not be achieved for four days, just waiting for the government to come to divide the field for the boy, this has to be the uncle at home to the boy to draw a picture or two, or the boy alone can not deal with it."

"New baby, this is not wrong at that time, since ancient times, there have been a lot of twists and turns in the division of acres, and the old man knows a thing or two. That's it, that's it. The old man beckoned everyone to go home to rest, get up early tomorrow and eat early, and step up salt refining! It's just that the new baby can't sleep until three poles in the sun, and tomorrow's morning eclipse will still be this soup cake, do more! It just so happened that I bought a lot of pork and rice noodles today. ”

"Uncle rest assured, the kid can save it, the kid won't sleep lazy anymore, this household registration fell to my heart, and the little one will be diligent and housekeeping. I also want to wait until I build a new house and ask my uncle to help me find a beautiful mother-in-law. ”

"Haha! Ha ha! The new baby wants to be an aunt! But it's very useful to be beautiful, you have to find the one who is strong and has a big butt and can give birth to a good mother-in-law! Don't worry, the good man will look for your good aunt with you! ”

Big butt? Robust? Wang Xingxin didn't dare to imagine what the daughter-in-law Liu Laohan found for him looked like, it seems that this is another wrong chess, the daughter-in-law is better to find herself, she has to find a suitable time to fool this matter, and would rather guard the five girls all her life than Liu Lao'er to find her mother-in-law!

"Xinwazi, you have been in our village for a few days, and now the household registration has also fallen to our village, our village even has 28 people from your six families, I guess you can't recognize a few days, now the old man will introduce you to you."

After that, he pointed to Liu Gangzi's family and said: "You know your brother and his mother-in-law, but you don't recognize this little girl, this is Zhen Niang, thirteen years old this year, she is the daughter that your brother picked up, with a jade lock with a treasure on it." You will be called Jane's sister from now on. Aunt Kangzi was holding his eldest son, a dog baby, who was only 3 years old. ”

He pointed to a strong man and said, "This is the boy of the old man's family, his mother left early, alas! Our boy, you can call it a big cow, and the cow baby is also a child, there are three out of twenty this year, and when you get married, you can be called Caiyun, and Yun Niang is also a ......."

Liu Lao Er introduced the villagers to Wang Xingxin one by one, there are indeed not many more than 20 or 7 people, easy to remember!

Just when everyone was about to go home, Wang Xingxin stopped Liu Gangzi. Then he took out a small piece of the silver cake that Liu Haohan gave him, about ten taels, and said to Liu Gangzi: "Brother Gongzi, you can work as a carpenter, I want to ask you to help me build some furniture, you can take these silver first, if it is not enough, then ask me, and I will tell you what kind of furniture to build." ”

"New baby, you are out, but also a lot of silver, wood is not lacking in our village, although it is not very good, wood but after being made into furniture, it can be used for ten or eight years. How much is a handiwork, and now there is no work in the field, you take the silver, and you want to build any furniture to my brother. It's just that you can't use people to make salt, so you have to talk to your uncle, and he agrees that I will build it for you tomorrow. ”

"To put it mildly, you don't have a lot of salt to make a lever, you just build furniture in the new baby, it is important to play, the wood is not enough to save a few good woods and want to make a good coffin, now we have a new baby will make salt, this wood will first make furniture for the new baby, and then our village is not short of money now!"

After speaking, everyone should say in unison, this one said that there were two willow trees at home, and the other said that there was a big elm at home, and they all took out the wood stored at home to make furniture for Wang Xingxin. Everyone is grateful, grateful to Wang Xinxing for teaching everyone to make salt, not to mention that the two times they sold more salt, not to mention that the family got at least five dollars, and in Zhenguan for three years, this is enough for the family to use for two or three years.

"Uncles and brothers, listen to the boy's words, our days will get better and better, and the boy will not refuse everyone's good intentions. Cheeky use everyone's wood first, and when the kid makes a fortune, he has to at least get a pair of Nanmu coffins for Uncle Liu! Today, everyone is willing to make furniture for the boy, and he will marry his aunt and the boy in our village as a dowry, and the woman will marry the boy as a dowry! Although the kid is not surnamed Liu, don't treat the kid as an outsider! ”

Everyone said hello in unison, and everyone went home with a smile on their faces and prepared to send the wood to Liu Gangzi's house, not to mention it for the time being. Here, Wang Xingxin pulled Liu Gangzi into the firewood room, and it took a while to make Liu Gangzi understand what the Eight Immortals Table is, what is the shelf bed, what is the wardrobe, and what is the Taishi chair...... These new styles of furniture were an eye-opener for Liu Gangzi. If it weren't for Wang Xingxin's life and death pulling Liu Gangzi, he would have to kowtow to apprentice! In this way, Liu Gangzi's grateful five-body threw himself to the ground, and he had to return the silver given by Wang Xingxin. Because Wang Xinxing promised Liu Gangzi that he could build and sell these new furniture at will, which was remarkable in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, there has never been a matter of craftsmanship, and in Liu Gangzi's opinion, this should be kowtowed to the teacher.

Excited, Liu Gangzi ran home in a gust of wind, and it was a great temptation for a carpenter with good craftsmanship to create new, beautiful and practical furniture.

After watching Liu Gangzi run home, Wang Xingxin smiled and was about to go to the well to fetch water to prepare for a rinse, although he was riding an ox cart on the way to Lizhengna, he also got a body of dust that was extremely uncomfortable. Just as Wang Xingxin came up with a bucket of water, Liu Laohan called him into the house.

"The new baby, the old man has lived for decades, although he has no ability, but these eyes are not missed to see people, the old man no matter where you come from, since you can share the thaumaturgy of salt making with the whole village, and you can give up your body to make delicious meals for everyone, at least this will not be wrong, the new baby is a good person, is a real person. Since everyone can use the wood stored at home for you to make furniture, it can show that everyone recognizes that you value you, and you may not know that there are few trees in Guanzhong. The government is not allowed to cut indiscriminately, and these woods are stored by each family for the boy to marry his mother-in-law and make furniture for the woman's mother-in-law's house, not to mention the coffin of the old man has been taken out. ”

"Uncle Liu, the kid is grateful to everyone, it was everyone who saved the kid's life, it was Ququ that made salt, can Ququ repay him for a few meals? Uncle Fang Cai's promise also heard it. Since the uncle has something to say to the kid, let's talk about it clearly, the kid is not an ignorant baby! ”

"The new baby is really awake! The old man will talk to the new baby, this salt making seems to you to be a trivial matter, but in the eyes of others, it is not a trivial matter, and the new baby also knows how much profit there is! According to the old man, this is not a long-term method, and if we don't make it, our whole village will have to worry about their lives! ”

"What should I think, uncle?

"First, if you hand over the method of making salt to the government, you may be able to get a background, second, sell it to wealthy families in exchange for some money, and third, you will no longer make salt, and when others ask about it, they will say that the refined salt that merchants from the Western Regions come in will no longer be. This is the upper, middle and lower three ways, the new baby, you see how to take it! ”

"Uncle, if you don't think about these ten loads of salt, let's make twenty taels next time, at least let each family have some silver, and the boy will have the money to build a good house. Then hand over the method of salt production to the government, even if you don't have a background, you can win some fame, and the government can't reward us with some fields! ”

"The new baby is really a spiritual awakening baby, so it's so decided!"

"Uncle, don't worry, the kid will have some other methods, and he can still earn silver taels, even if he doesn't make salt, it doesn't matter! Not to mention anything else, the furniture I taught Brother Gongzi to build is enough for the people in our village to have no worries about food and clothing! Don't say we still have fields! ”

"Good baby, good baby, tomorrow I will say to everyone, the new baby wash and rest! The old man is relieved! ”

Liu Laohan looked at Wang Xingxin, who was innocently rinsing his body by the well, stroked his beard and smiled and entered the house.
