"Little lady, what are we doing now? It's so dark, why can't you light it? ”

Pomegranate put some powder into the paper, and then took the small strips made by the two little boys over there and put them in, and rolled the paper according to the method taught by Wang Juan.

"The New Year's use is to replace firecrackers, no need to throw them into the fire, you can crack when you light it, pomegranates, you go to buy these things, don't tell others, this thing will burn in an instant when it encounters a little fire, and lighting the lamp will burn us all to death."

Wang Juan made another twist, gently placed it next to it, and explained to the pomegranate, she knows more about fire than Zhang Xiaobao, if she wants, she can make a powerful earth bomb out.

Pomegranate only knew a little about this, but he still didn't fully understand, he had never been in contact, and nodded his head to promise, "Little lady, don't worry, I will never tell anyone else, not even my family, this thing is bigger than firecrackers?" ”

"It's bigger, it's louder than the firecrackers in the fire when you put salt on it, this thing is so big that it can blow people up." Zhang Xiaobao also made one, and put it together with Wang Juan's, his face and head and clothes were stained with fire, but he didn't dare to reach out to pat it, let alone scratch his head with his hands.

"Xiaobao, do you want to send cucumbers to the households? Will they speak out? Wang Juan also felt that this work was too boring, that is, she and Zhang Xiaobao, in exchange for any other child, would not repeat one thing in the morning.

"Send, of course they have to send, they already know what is grown there, and they want to eat something fresh during the New Year, if they really want to say it, can they wait until now? I think they are all good, the people's support is available, and next year, we will work together to make their lives better. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is now very envious of the people of this era, those who farm the land are too honest, give them a little benefit, they will remember, there is a little hope in life, they will do it desperately, every household on the two Zhuangzi does not lock the door, I really don't know how the people on the two Zhuangzi were selected before they came.

Wang Juan saw that the twist was almost over, and he also stopped to rest, thinking that there were so many people in the two families, and there was no difference, and he also felt that happiness was nothing more than that, so he thought about it for a while and asked:

"Xiaobao, the Quyuan plough has been confirmed yet, and you expect to use this thing to improve production efficiency? If you think about it a little more, is there a better way? ”

"Yes." Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while, and finally spit out a word, and then said: "You can let them keep those single-plant seeds with good yield, so that after a few generations, high-yielding varieties can appear, which is not very stable."

There is another kind, wait for the New Year to let Erniu take two people to Shandong, that is, Henan Road to go for a trip, buy some stones back, put them in the field, we can also drink water and bathe for livestock, such as cattle and horses, but I don't know if Erniu can find it. ”

"What stone? and they can be put in the field and eaten. "Wang Juan really doesn't know what stone has so many functions.

"Maifan stone, I remember that there are three places, I can't remember other places, Shandong, Liaoning, Mongolia, this thing is like normal saline, don't look at only such a small proportion, but the effect is not small."

"I know this, it turned out to be this kind of stone, there was a special such thing when I used to take a bath, and there is also a place to get mineral water, don't go to Mongolia, it's too dangerous, the Turks occupy it, just go to Shandong, what's it called? Henan Road, what is the specific location? ”

Wang Juan was familiar with this name as soon as he heard it, and there were indeed a lot of places where it was used, so he agreed.

"I don't know, who knows the specific location, I didn't think of these at the beginning, but occasionally I learned about it, which is a little impression, I drink natural soda when I'm outside, and it doesn't taste very good, and the water behind the orphanage is not as good as the water before the river behind the orphanage was polluted."

Zhang Xiaobao pursed his lips helplessly, thinking of the original river, he felt a little uncomfortable, the water was polluted, and then the factory was yellow.

"Okay, if you don't know, you don't know, pomegranate, stop, eat, get more cucumbers today, dip in sauce and eat, and don't forget the broth."

Wang Juan was not ready to continue thinking about these things, so he gave an order, walked out with Zhang Xiaobao, Pomegranate put down the work in his hand, and finally went out, locked the door, and arranged for someone to wash the two of them, and she went to the kitchen to arrange it.

"Cucumbers, cucumbers in winter, I'm Xiangrui, everyone hurry up and come back to eat, it's the New Year, eat some fresh cucumbers."

Sanshui County, the place at the entrance of the yamen, the yamen is still shouting in turn, no one bought it at the beginning, the people who came to see the excitement were not rich, they heard that it was 30 wen to buy a pound of cucumbers, they were frightened, it was too expensive, in the summer, a penny can buy three catties, an egg can be exchanged for a lot, who is willing to buy a few cucumbers with 30 wen.

Cheng County ordered these people not to be in a hurry, they didn't expect these people to buy it, as long as they came around, and naturally some of their subordinates would know the news at that time.

Sure enough, after shouting for half an hour, two people came over, and it could be seen from the clothes on their bodies that they belonged to the descendants of the rich and noble.

The two of them squeezed closer, looked at the cucumber, nodded, and shook their heads, one of them said: "It's okay, there are no fewer flowers and thorns, but I think it's not so green, thirty wen a catty, it's a bit expensive." ”

As he spoke, the man also looked up at the official who bought the cucumber, with something different in his eyes, and the official understood at first sight that he wanted to lower the price for him, and he turned around and left this part of the money, and the official also had this kind of gaze.

There is no need to look back and ask the county magistrate, this official said directly: "Thirty Wen, you can only ask for five catties at a time, Xiangrui, how can you bargain?" ”

The official didn't care about this person's appearance as if he was superior, and so did the other people around him, and there was even a servant on the side who said: "This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people can invite, Xiangrui, can ordinary people stand it?" ”

These words were deliberately belittling the identities of those two people, and sure enough, as soon as the two heard this, their faces changed, as if they were scolding them.

The man who had not spoken all this time spoke: "Don't think that you are a yamen, do you know who we are?" ”

"Who? If you can't afford to invite auspicious people, who else can you be? This county auspicious, adults have been on the table, don't say it's you, whoever comes to this price, you can only ask for five catties at a time, you want more, queue up. ”

If the official is replaced by usual, he will be a little worried, but today he doesn't have to think about it at all, who dares to find trouble at this time, not to mention anything else, the people above will also know in the end that in the second year of Kaiyuan, the saints are waiting for good news today.

Cheng Xian Ling didn't go in all the time, just stood outside, it's not that it's not cold outside, since it's Xiangrui, then he has to set an example to come out, and then he also spoke.

"How can such auspicious beings bargain? It's really blasphemous, no matter how much money you give today, you can't do it. ”

Seeing that the county order didn't even ask about the identities of the two of them, the two of them were completely deflated, and they originally wanted to get some benefits, but who knew that it became like this, the two of them were not specially out to buy, they just met, and when the people who bought in the house came over, bought back, and the lord of the house ate it, it would definitely be rewarded.

The opportunity was missed in vain, the attitude of the person who spoke first just now changed, and a smile appeared on his face, "Xiangrui, it is indeed Xiangrui, just now the two of us are making everyone laugh, how can we bargain, thirty Wen, five catties, please, you must please, first put five catties on us." ”

Seeing him say this, the official didn't know if he could sell it or not, and looked back at the county magistrate.

Cheng Lingxiang, the county magistrate, also thought about it, what he said just now, it is not good to sell it directly, if he doesn't sell it, he will really offend people, not to mention that these two people are the first to buy it, and after a little thought, he said:

"Well, since you two are sincere in your invitation, then stand aside and wait for the others to invite you, see if you two are sincere under the snow, and then we will talk about it."

When the two of them heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they also understood that Fang Cai's words were dead, so naturally it was impossible to change them immediately, and let the two of them stand in the heavy snow, which was the best way for Xiangrui and for them.

They didn't dare to say anything more, the second one to buy the second one, it was better than giving the opportunity to others, and obediently stood to the side, letting the snow keep falling on them.

Some people want to buy it, and the people around them don't want to leave, and they want to see how many people will buy such an expensive thing, or say it's please.

Things are really piled up, just two people want to buy, and then someone came to ask the price, it should be a girl, actually wearing a silk dress, squeezed in and saw that there were cucumbers for sale, and then listened to the price, and threw out a tael of silver without saying a word.

"Okay, Xiangrui, I'll ask for twenty catties first, just this money."

There was an exclamation all around, this is so rich, it actually used one or two silver to buy twenty catties.

The official hesitated again, I don't know whether to sell it or not, or the county order Cheng Lingxiang has a way, "This girl, this auspicious rui can only ask for five catties at a time, the girl can buy five catties first, and wait for others to buy it in line, and the girl will buy it again." ”

As he spoke, the official had already weighed five catties, and weighed the two people the same five catties, waited for the two to leave, and then weighed the girl five catties, and asked if there was any invitation, but the people around him did not answer, and it was easy to do, and he weighed two five catties for the girl in a row, even if he was in line.

After taking the cucumber, the girl smiled slightly, "Thank you, there can still be cucumbers in winter, the county magistrate is really good, wait for me to go back and inform Master Yu." ”

At this time, no one around said that the price was too high, there were really some people who bought it, and some people even gave more money.

Cheng Lingxiang, the county commander, glanced at the officer, and the officer shouted again, "Xiangrui, Xiangrui in winter, I am Xiangrui." ’
