Chapter 30 Gathering People's Hearts Again
Erniu's negotiation in Guanshuilou was very successful, not only sold the hot sauce, but also made another deal with Guanshuilou, that is, some new dishes that needed hot sauce would appear in the Zhuangzi from time to time, and each one appeared, Guanshuilou would spend a sum of money, and he had to find a person to vouch for it.
When the shopkeeper invited him to eat, he ordered the first dish of 'stewed carrots with sauce' on the spot, not only did he have to pay for this dish, but even the carrots and hot sauce had to be purchased from Zhuangzi, and they were not sold elsewhere.
The price of carrots is relatively cheap, five cents per catty, and the price of sauce is slightly more expensive, after all, there is meat in it, twelve cents per catty.
Guanshuilou just talked about it, Erniu and Daniu went to the Baiwei Pavilion next to them, this time they didn't even see the shopkeeper, they were directly sent out by the steward of the lobby, and the two were not in a hurry, this is in line with the calculation of the little boy, and when the vegetables in Guanshuilou are sold, Baiwei Pavilion will ask for it, and the price will be different at that time.
After the two people sold the sauce, they found a small restaurant in Sanshui County that was not well run, and directly used the silver plate down, and the original shopkeeper did not drive away, and invited the store to manage the store in the future, and as soon as the store was implemented, a few cars of carrots that were not transported away that day were sent to the store, and the previous dishes remained unchanged, and eight new carrots were added to make soup.
After being busy with these, the big cow and the second cow can finally be idle, just stay in the room behind the store, and then go back two days later, this time a total of dozens of catties of hot sauce were transported, enough to sell the water building for a few days, and when they go back, there are new things to let them do.
******
Tuqiao Village, the construction site of Zhangjia Zhuangzi is also in full swing at the moment, and the people on the village are digging hard, just finished eating, or under Zhang Xiaobao's repeated requests, this group of people rested for less than a quarter of an hour.
Zhang Xiaobao is afraid that they will eat too much and make a problem, roll the flatbread with shredded meat and green onions in spicy sauce, it is really two bites, take out the boiled bones, dip them in garlic sauce, and eat a fragrant, oily soup, sprinkle with chopped green onions and coriander, gurgling, you can drink half a bowl in one bite.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan who watched it were slandered, and finally they couldn't help it, the two of them asked for a big bowl of soup, broke the cake and put it in to soak, the break was smaller than their fingernails, coriander and green onions, and when it was cool, one person drank it there in one sip.
It is precisely because there is soup to drink, Zhang Xiaobao is not so worried about the people who work to hold on, and the soup will be directly discharged when the time comes.
Xiaohong also ate on the side, and was also responsible for getting bone marrow for the two of them, a soft bone marrow was poked out with chopsticks, a little salt, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan tasted just right, with a little greasy taste, with a little bone fragrance, and a little fishy, not to mention how comfortable it is to eat in the mouth, the most important thing is not to be afraid of getting your teeth down.
"It's delicious, it's fragrant when people eat more, and this bone is good, Xiaohong, remember, don't throw away the bones you have eaten."
Zhang Xiaobao ate two bone marrows, stopped eating, afraid that he would be nauseous after eating too much, and greeted Xiaohong again.
"I know, little boy, I keep this ton of finished food, I can cook it at night, and I can't dig the pond in a day, so at noon tomorrow, put some new bones and continue to eat." Little Red seems to have experience.
When the other people who ate heard this, they all nodded, not to mention working for Zhuangzi, and the same is true for their own family, they are already content to have a meal with the little boy and the little lady.
"That's not what it meant." Wang Juan also stopped his movements and said, "Xiaobao is saying that the bones are left, and they can be ground into powder at that time, and they can do many things, such as feeding chickens, fattening the ground, raising earthworms, etc., I am not bad at Zhuangzi for a meal, and I have to make a new one at night." ”
As soon as these words came out, the expression of the Zhuang family on the Zhuangzi was different, I didn't expect this little lady and the little boy to be so benevolent and righteous, the Zhuang family was honest, and they would not say anything nice, so they could only write down the words of the two babies and do things well in the future.
Xiaohong naturally won't persuade again, the food money is all out of the little boy's own treasury, the little boy is not afraid of spending more, she can let the villagers eat well, and she is also willing.
The children who fished for the snails also ate together, the children's stomachs were small, and they couldn't compare to the adults when they let go of eating, and they ate with round stomachs, and they wanted to eat, but they couldn't eat anymore, so they could only look at things and be anxious.
"If you can't eat it, don't eat it, it's time to break it." Xiaohong packed them with oil paper according to the amount of food they ate, a little more, and the children couldn't eat it when they wanted to go back, so they gave it to their families.
One of them, a little baby named Erzi, nodded helplessly, "I don't want to eat more, it's better to eat tomorrow's lunch too, I won't eat it tonight, take it back to my sister to eat." ”
"If it's good, life will be better in the future." Zhang Xiaobao slapped his lips and said lightly, only Wang Juan knew how determined he was when he said this.
The farmer continued to work, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned home and began to exercise, the child's bones are soft, not yet fully grown, too strenuous running and jumping movements can not be done, can only adapt a little bit, the only advantage is that the child's body recovers quickly, the day is so tired that he can't speak, and the next day is also alive and kicking.
Today, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan want to exercise the project is Gulu, let Xiaohong bring a blanket and spread it on the ground, and the two of them will roll back and forth vigorously on it, which can also exercise a lot of places, and it is too wet outside to go out and walk in the sand.
"Xiaobao, rest for a while, talk about things, you're all confused." Wang Juan turned over, leaned on Zhang Xiaobao's body, and stopped dangling.
"Say what?" Zhang Xiaobao was also sweating.
"I see that the road leading to the outside of Zhuangzi is not easy to walk, do you take out some money to repair the road? Change always starts from the side, so that the people on the Zhuangzi can feel these and cultivate cohesion. Wang Juan stretched out his hand to take the water handed by Xiaohong, took a sip and said.
"I don't have any money, I still keep the money I earn to buy rice and noodles, there is still a month to go, I have to harvest wheat, I have to buy more, whether the land at home and the hundred households can be kept, it depends on this time."
Zhang Xiaobao refused without thinking about it, the road can be repaired at any time, and the grain can't be bought, he has a big action, in exchange for the location of the family, and the Zhang and Wang families need to cooperate when collecting food.
"Forget it, let Cherry collect some duck eggs and goose eggs tomorrow, since you want to raise them, you must get some out." Wang Juan bypassed this matter and thought about it.
Zhang Xiaobao also nodded, "Yes, we must raise them all, especially ducks, by the beginning of spring next year, it is best to have thousands of ducks, I see who dares to take our land, take a bath, and sleep for a while." ”
Even if this is the end of the topic for the time being, Xiaohong has already prepared hot water, put the two children in it to wash off the sweat on their bodies, hug them to the collapse, cover the navel with a blanket, and she can sit at the door and read and read again.
In the evening, Song Jinggong finally came back with a lot of soybeans, and as soon as he entered the range of Zhuangzi, he saw someone pulling carrots outside, one cart after another, and he didn't know where to transport them. ”
"Xinping City, put it over there, and in a few days, someone over there will come here to buy it, and sell it directly, without delay." A handlebar who knew Song Jinggong, and after being deceived by the little boy, he was willing to do things for Zhuangzi.
"Oh, how much are you going to sell?" Song Jinggong was not surprised by this, so he wanted to know the price.
"One pound and five cents, Erniu has already gone to Sanshui County to sell, it seems that it has been sold, otherwise Erniu will rush back."
"How much? Five pennies a pound? So I sold it cheaply? Song Jinggong was a little dumbfounded, he thought that it was so expensive to deceive others, but he didn't expect that after turning around in the hands of the little boy, it would rise so much, and he was stunned to sell it at a price of five times.
It's amazing, how can it be sold, and before he can figure it out, the handlebar momentum continues.
"The little boy said, these are not easy to preserve, leave the slightly better ones, get a cellar and put them inside, and sell them for ten pennies a pound in winter, and there are few vegetables in winter, so everyone eats fresh."
Song Jinggong didn't know what he was and walked back to the courtyard, his heart was already occupied by piles of copper coins, and he really couldn't hold it, so he changed it to silk and white flowers, anyway, it was more money.
I didn't wait to go in, I saw the two of Xiao Gongzi eating and drinking there with a group of villagers, because the villagers did a lot of work, Zhang Xiaobao was afraid that they would suddenly get tired and feel uncomfortable tomorrow, especially when they stepped on the muddy ground, and some of the stagnant water did not pass people's feet.
It's easy to get sick when you go back, so I specially asked Xiaohong to prepare some wine, and everyone drank two bowls alone when eating, and the wine with ginger shreds was warm, and it could help speed up blood circulation.
This treatment is too high, there is wine and meat, and the food is warm in the hearts of the villagers, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan not agreeing that they would continue to work at night, they would all want to light torches and dig again, how much does this meal cost? None of them want to be paid.
"Little boy, how did the carrot you said sell, I thought I was deceiving people for every penny and a pound, could it be that you found someone who was easy to deceive?" Song Jinggong didn't care whether others drank or not, and he had to figure it out before he got closer.
"Why deceive? Carrots are originally good, when selling others, just teach him how to cook, when everyone will eat, things will naturally be expensive, not to mention that carrots are good for the body after eating, and the taste is good. ”
Zhang Xiaobao wanted to change Song Jinggong's idea of wanting to deceive first when he encountered something, and when he saw Song Jinggong coming back, he must have not eaten dinner yet, and greeted him again.
"Zijin has been tired for the past two days, hurry, eat while it's hot, there are a lot of people, it tastes lively, Xiaohong, get some meat for Zijin, dip it in garlic sauce and eat, just under the wine."
As he spoke, he and Wang Juan gave way to the side to make room for Song Jinggong, as for whether Song Jinggong was willing or not, he didn't have to think about it, he could eat with the villagers, what about him?
