When Liu Gangzi and Da Niu came to Liu Laoer's courtyard with everyone, they saw Wang Xingxin fetching water with a bitter face, and Liu Haohan washing silver on the side.

Da Niu asked puzzledly: "Dad, what are you doing to wash this silver?" ”

"Go ask the new baby! This melon, bury the silver in the thatched toilet and bury it in the thatched toilet after burying it and sprinkle a few bubbles on it, how to use the smell of urine? ”

Thinking of burying the silver, Da Niu himself urinated on it, so he didn't make a sound. After the silver cake was cleaned, he could no longer smell the smell of urine, Liu Laohan wiped his hands clean on his body, and said to everyone: "Salt making can no longer be done, and the new baby has also been whipped for this." The new baby said, some of the money from selling salt these few times will be distributed to everyone. A family of forty taels. When we exchanged silver, we exchanged for twenty taels of silver cakes, but it saved trouble, and each family came over, two silver cakes per person. ”

Everyone was silent, and no one came forward to get the silver cakes, they all looked at Wang Xingxin, so everyone was silent, looking at the somewhat depressed atmosphere Wang Xinxing said: "Uncles and brothers, come to get the silver, this is everyone's hard-earned income, take it home, buy some good food for the little babies, and make a silver hairpin or something for the mother-in-law at home, this is all good silver." ”

After speaking, he took two pieces of silver cakes and handed them to Liu Gangzi: "Brother Gongzi, take the silver and make a deputy bracelet for my sister-in-law." ”

"New baby, what are you doing! You look down on your brother Gongzi, how can you ask for your silver! You're slapping old and young masters in the face! ”

"New baby, never silver! If you have the heart, make a few chickens for everyone to eat! "This is the simple Liu Heiwa."

"Eat a chicken, it's still the soup cake with meat sauce! If you can stack three old bowls, the chicken is so expensive, and you can buy two catties of pork more! "It's a big bull......

Everyone was talking nonsense, all saying that they didn't want silver, at most they were shouting for Wang Xinxing to make something delicious. Wang Xinxing looked at everyone with tears in his eyes, and he didn't know why the tears suddenly fell. Before he crossed over, he was a person who was easily moved, and he was very sensual. The personality is a little cowardly, and it is not good to say that Wang Xingxin is timid, cowardly, and can't afford things, and sometimes he chooses to escape and escape. Now in this Tang Zhenguan period, with a little advanced knowledge, not only did not bring much benefit to the five families surnamed Liu in Yuanlou Village, but made the Wang family targeted. Now everyone doesn't even want the hard-earned silver, which makes Wang Xingxin burst into tears.

"Uncles and brothers, if you don't take this silver, will it be difficult for you to kneel down for the new baby? This silver is not for nothing, and tomorrow everyone will have to build a house for the new baby. Everyone can't bear to look at the kid still living in Uncle Liu's firewood room, and let's say we have a little silver in our hearts, although it's not much, but it's enough to give Uncle Liu another room to warm the quilt, and it's too inconvenient for the kid to live in Uncle Liu's yard. ”

After listening to Wang Xingxin's words that were not fake and had some jokes, everyone fell silent again.

"You melon baby! The old man is still very mother-in-law! Take care of yourself, you don't have a family in our village. Everyone listened to the new baby's hurry up and divided the silver, and tomorrow they will come to the old man's yard next to the old man's yard, and set out a piece of land for the new baby to start a house! New baby, your baby just needs to cook everyone's meals, don't want big fish and meat, just be beautiful and full! ”

Liu Laohan said that everyone took two pieces of silver cakes, but they did not leave. Wang Xingxin looked at the people who were still standing and asked puzzledly, "What else is going on with everyone?" ”

"New baby, you just got a whip on the face and not on the head, how did you forget about being beaten! After we sold the salt, we bought more than 30 chickens, and although the wicked man said that he robbed us of the secret method of making salt and took so much silver from us, he didn't rob us of this chicken. Everyone hasn't eaten yet, so hurry up and get a chicken to eat first! ”

Liu Heiwa still can't forget to eat called flower chicken, and shouts for Wang Xingxin to make called flower chicken!

"You coward! Just know to eat, eat, eat! Now the salt can't be sold, and if there is no income, I still eat chicken, and I keep it! Let the new baby make a soup cake! Liu Laohan trained Liu Heiwa

"Uncle Liu, aren't there just dozens of chickens, what can't you eat! Good luck! Chicken tonight! ”

"Eat, eat, I see your new baby is also melon! Forgot about the pain? Listening to the old man's chickens, I see that you have never lived a poor life, and now some people can't afford to eat food, and they don't even care if they are full, let alone soup cakes, I think you have money to burn. ”

"Then, this, then kill three, not five chickens, I'll make a chicken noodle soup for everyone, uncle, what do you think."

"Five? No, you can only kill three. ”

had no choice but to kill three chickens, and then Wang Xingxin commanded some mothers-in-law to knead the dough and burn the fire. After a while, the three chickens were put into a large pot and boiled, and the green onions, ginger, peppercorns, and star anise cinnamon bought from the pharmacy were put together, and the chicken soup was simmered on low heat.

As soon as this chicken soup was stewed, it was nearly two hours and it was dark, and everyone who had been hungry for a day was drooling. Those little babies were even more anxious to scream at the pot of stewed chicken. Wang Xingxin took a chopstick and poked the chicken in the pot, and when he saw that the stew was rotten, he grabbed a large handful of salt and stirred it in the pot, and took out the chicken and put it in a large clay pot. Commanding some mothers-in-law to start pouring noodles in a cauldron of boiling water that had already been boiled. The three chickens that were fished out were first broken into the chicken legs to the little babies who were already impatient, and then they didn't care about the hot hands to tear the cooked chicken shreds, and the remaining chicken racks were put into the pot where the chicken broth was cooked.

After the noodles are cooked, each person first holds a bowl of noodles. Add some shredded chicken, sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions and pour over the chicken broth. The one that everyone ate was called fragrant, and looking at the fewer and fewer noodles, Wang Xingxin hurriedly filled himself a big bowl of Xili and snorted and ate it. Liu Heiwa, a foodie, folded three bowls and didn't feel full, and finally drank a bowl of chicken soup before touching her belly, leaning on the ox cart, humming and chirping.

"What house do you want to live in, new baby?"

"Originally, I wanted to sell salt and build a small yard with two entrances, but now it's okay, the mud house will be completed, not too much. A bedroom, a hall, a kitchen, a firewood room, and a latrine. ”

"That's simple, it's just that the well is dug up, and it's convenient for you to be close to the old man's yard."

"That's going to be winter anyway, and the water is used less."

"Tomorrow, everyone will give you a house, the new baby and the old man will let everyone go home to rest, you should rest early, these pots and stoves will not be removed, and you will have to eat here during the construction of the house."

After Liu Lao Er commanded some people to dismantle all the redundant pots and stoves, the iron pots were brought back by each family, leaving two large pots, enough for these 20 people to eat.

It didn't take long for the yard to be clean, and Liu Laohan was not talking to Wang Xingxin. He knew that the new baby now had something in his heart that he needed to think about.

Wang Xingxin, who was lying on the bed, looked at his dark feet, picked them with his hands, and then sniffed them again, as if he was a little immune to the smell, so he looked at the roof with his hands and thought about it.

In the Wang family's mansion in Changle Fang, Chang'an City, Wang Jianfei was carefully coping with Wang Gui's study.

"Jianfei, the old man listened to what you said, this method of making salt is that you let Wang Gui snatch it? Instead of paying for it? ”

"Yes, grandpa, when Wang Gui reported to me, he didn't say that he would buy it, but he just said that he had scared the short-haired boy and the villagers and offered the method of making salt. But until the note was made. ”

"Humph! Jianfei is confused! Wang Gui is not doing well! It should have been bought! Even if it is bought for a penny, it is bought for money, and this intimidation and ingenuity will be inferior! ”

"Grandpa, Jianfei knows his mistakes, then Wang Gui Jianfei will punish him, grandpa is not to blame."

"The old man doesn't blame you, it's understandable that you are still young and a little negligent, but remember that next time if there is something like this, don't act like this again! My Wang family's poetry and books are heirlooms, how can they be criticized for being inferior? ! Remember to let people send some money to those villagers tomorrow, so as not to fall into the notoriety of forcible robbery, you must know that the saints are a little afraid of the wealthy family today, and now they have begun to weaken the influence of our family. A thousand-year-old family, a century-old dynasty! Hehe....."

"Grandpa, do you think what we should do with this salt-making method so that my Wang family can get the greatest benefit?"

"Very good, Jianfei You can think of this very good, you didn't use the secret method alone but came to ask the old man, Jianfei, you are very good!"

"Grandpa, you are the pillar of our Wang family, Jianfei doesn't dare to be greedy for merit in this matter, and he doesn't dare to make decisions without permission."

"So what do you want to do?"

"Grandpa, Jianfei thinks it's better to dedicate it to the imperial court."

"Why?"

"Grandpa? Is our Wang family short of money now? Although the profits of salt production are huge, our Wang family has been inherited for hundreds of years and is not short of money, what is lacking is influence, and what is lacking is the people's heart. After all, Grandpa used to be Prince Xi's confidant, and now he ......"

"Haha, Jianfei can see it thoroughly, so does Jianfei see anything else?"

"Grandpa, Jianfei is stupid and only sees these."

"Jianfei, it's better to look farther, you just see that this method of making salt can turn coarse salt into refined salt, don't you think about it deeper!"

"Jianfei is stupid, please grandpa to solve your doubts."

"Jianfei, do you know what happened in the court today? Zhang Gongjin wrote to His Majesty and listed six major reasons to send troops to the Turks. His Majesty has decided not to send troops soon. This salt, Chang'an is not lacking, but the army is out of the army but there is a shortage of salt, now the army uses vinegar cloth, Hexi does not produce salt, only the poisonous salt mine. ”

"Grandpa means that this method of making salt can also turn poisonous salt mines into edible coarse salt?"

"One law is all laws, you ask someone to try to do it tomorrow, and see if you can refine the poisonous salt ore into edible salt, even if it is coarse salt! If you succeed, grandpa can at least win a knighthood for you in the Tang Dynasty! ”

"Jianfei doesn't dare to ask for a title, after all, there is a big brother, as long as it is beneficial to my Wang family."

"Haha, you kid can't help it! It's your credit, it's your credit, so bother! It wasn't the husband's doing, and now it's the second thing back then! ”

After hearing what the old man Wang Gui said, Wang Jianfei desperately suppressed his ecstasy, said good night to the old man, and hurried all the way to his small courtyard. After ordering someone to call Wang Gui for a reprimand, and then arranging for Wang Gui to find some poisonous salt mines tomorrow to test whether edible salt could be made, he ordered someone to bring a fine wine and drink it to calm down the ecstasy.
