Jiang Hexing came to Zhang Jie's house, explained his intentions, and entrusted Zhang Jie as the man's matchmaker to investigate first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After listening to the story, regardless of the embarrassment of Jiang Hexing, Zhang Jie was so happy that he went straight to the ground, and immediately went to Zhao's house after chatting a few words. Jiang Hexing went back to school to continue his classes.

Back in the factory in the evening, Zheng San was waiting at the door. Jiang Hexing said strangely: "What's going on again?" ”

"Congratulations to the master. The Zhao family entrusted me as a female matchmaker to talk to Zhang Jie for an afternoon, and the negotiation was completed. Zheng San smiled all over his face, looking like he had done it.

Having a wife so soon, Jiang Hexing thought there were a lot of procedures to go.

"The Zhao family is very happy about this family business, and they didn't mention any requirements, they just hope to get married soon. Zhang Jie's arrangement is to get married within two months, and the master is waiting to be the groom's official. ”

Jiang Hexing couldn't cry or laugh, not that he disliked others, how could he feel that such an important thing was done so quickly, he originally wanted to wait until he built a house next year before getting married, it seems that the current mother-in-law doesn't value the house. The Zhao family is also fleeing, Jiang Hexing is considered to be lost here, although it is cheap, but the basic processes such as collection, asking for names, Najib, recruitment, and asking for time still have to be done. Jiang Hexing doesn't understand this, so he can only leave it to Zhang Jie to do it, and he can cooperate with him with peace of mind.

The house is not yet there, so it is done in the factory. Jiang Hexing picked out all the carpenters from the previous refugees, drew drawings for them, roughly explained their requirements, and asked them to build furniture. Beds, chairs, cabinets, tables with drawers, etc. The new furniture is taking shape day by day, and the place where Jiang Hexing lives is about to become an exhibition hall, and there is an endless stream of people watching the "foreign scenery". The carpenters were now amazed to see the refugees who had fled with them in the past, and they were all complacent, working with great effort. The most complacent is of course Zhao Li's who came to visit, the mother-in-law of Jiang Hexing, she became a commentator, and her performance was particularly eye-catching, touching the cabinet, looking at the table, opening the drawer, and explaining. Zhao Lu's is in the envy of everyone, especially happy, the fly in the ointment is that the hair is too short, many jewelry is useless "beautiful" place, but it is a pity that no one else can see such beautiful jewelry.

Furniture is so popular, Jiang Hexing is very satisfied, let's open a furniture factory. There are still many people who have nothing to do, and if they have a little work, they will have more income, and their lives will be better. Thinking about opening a factory, I still have to find Zhang Kai and them, after all, without their support, many things are simply difficult to do.

When they came to Zhang Kai's house, they saw that Zhang Jie was also there, and the two of them seemed to be discussing something.

Before Jiang Hexing opened his mouth, Zhang Jie smiled and said, "We were talking about you, but I didn't expect you to come." ”

"Oh, it seems that it is better to come sooner than to come, tell me, is it a good thing or a bad thing to talk about me?"

"It's a good thing, the two of us discussed asking you to help and let you show us the way in Zhangjiazhuang, what do you think?"

"What way?"

"Zhangjiazhuang is a family with our surname Zhang, basically we just said it, but now we see that those refugees are slowly living a better life. I'm worried that it may be bad for you slowly, even though we are here, and it is difficult for others to say anything. But I'm afraid that it will take a long time, so we thought, Mr. Jiang, you should have a lot of new things, can you also find something for us people in the village to do. ”

"Oh, now that everyone is eating noodles, the beans are slowly becoming less and less, I do have an idea, and I can make some articles on this."

"Beans?"

"Well, beans can be squeezed for oil, and they can also be made into tofu, bean curd, etc., our republic is like this, but I haven't done any of this, but I've only seen and heard of it. It's not difficult, find some craftsmen, maybe you can make it, but no one thought so before, just like wheat grinding noodles. It is more difficult to squeeze oil, it may take a while, tofu can be made quickly, and you can buy salt brine. There is another one, which can be made into an iron pot. The kettle is very inconvenient now, and it will be good to use an iron pot in the future. ”

"There are so many businesses to do, then we will not be developed in the future, hehe." Zhang Kaile said, as if he had picked up a treasure.

"Salt brine is only available in the salt pond?" Zhang Jie asked.

"Well, what is left after the salt is made in the salt pond, a piece of things, is salt brine, and there are also called brine blocks." Jiang Hexing replied.

"It's not difficult, but it will take some time, so I'll ask someone to go to Hedong." Zhang Jie frowned, and asked again, "Is this amount needed?" ”

"It's not a big amount, but to do this business, the more the better, anyway, it's not bad. Come on, I'm counting on tofu at my wedding banquet. ”

The two laughed when they heard this, and felt that this thing could be done. Zhang Jie began to arrange, and Jiang Hexing reminded them that tofu is only a business that can be done by other people in Zhangjiazhuang, because this business is a small business, and it will take a long time to make it bigger. In the end, Jiang Hexing sighed with emotion: "It would be great if the imperial court didn't care about salt and iron, and if you don't let us do it now, hey." As he spoke, the river governor sighed.

When Zhang Kai and Zhang Jie heard this, they knew that there was something in the words, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. Jiang, do you understand this?" ”

"Salt is very simple, it's easy to make, but we're too far from the sea to make it. Iron is not difficult, but it seems that the court is very tight. Jiang Hexing shook his head.

"I'm afraid of a ball, just do it first, don't do it, we are far away from the emperor here, find a secluded place, people don't know, find your own people to do it, who knows?" Zhang Kai was straightforward and said directly.

Zhang Jie pondered for a long time and said: "Iron is a good business, many rich people used to rely on iron to make it, since the imperial court took charge, the price is very expensive, the quality is also very poor, almost many things can not be used." If Mr. Jiang is interested, we can do it in private, and we will stop when the wind is loud, anyway, this is all mountainous areas, and I think it's okay to have a place where no one goes. ”

The three of them rode into the mountains and went around, when they used to burn lime, Jiang Hexing had inspected and knew where there were iron mines, so they went there directly. This iron mine is more than 20 miles away from Zhangjiazhuang, and there is a small river leading to the Sanggan River next to Zhangjiazhuang. There was only one path leading there, and they all thought they could, and luckily there was a coal mine nearby.

Looking at Jiang Hexing's excited appearance at the coal mine, Zhang Kai laughed: "Brother, it's rare to see you like this, you have always been calm." ”

"Big brother, second brother, it won't be cold at night in the future, and more importantly, we can build good weapons here in the future."

After going back, Jiang Hexing, Zhang Kai, and Zhang Jie decided to make iron after discussion. Before making iron, I first put out the kang, and I don't need coal, isn't I sorry for myself? Before Jiang Hexing, I worked at a construction site, saw a lot of strip steel, and also learned about the production of strip steel. At this time, Zhang Jie found a few young descendants of the Zhang family and secretly built a blast furnace in the mountains according to the drawings given by Jiang Hexing.

While they were busy in the mountains, the salt brine arrived, and the tofu was quickly made. Several households in Zhangjiazhuang have made up their minds to do tofu business, and Jianghexing's relationship with them has become one step closer.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the big day of the wedding has arrived. The weather is sunny and the sun is shining on the snowy land. Despite the bitter cold, people still felt a little warm.

Jiang Hexing waited anxiously, as if time would not move, turning around in the house. Zhang Kai, Zhang Jie and others stood aside, and Zheng San cleaned up this outside and laid out that.

The sun is already in the west, and if you don't go there again, you will be about to set. Zheng San came in and said, "Master, you can kiss now." ”

Jiang Hexing looked at him and said, "Why is this time, I waited until this time, I thought it was night." ”

Zheng San smiled and said: "Master, marriage, marriage, it is the best time to hold a ceremony at dusk." So, this is the most appropriate time to go. ”

Jiang Hexing nodded, took the person who picked up the guests, immediately brought gifts, carried various boxes, and came towards the Zhao family. Jiang He walked on the road, and there was no one talking, and there was a solemn voice. Gently asked Zhang Jie next to him: "It's not lively to get married." ”

Zhang Jie covered his mouth, held back his laughter, and after a while, he quietly said, "Where do you get married?" We're here to focus on the rituals. ”

Jiang Hexing didn't ask any more questions, maybe it would be a joke in the future, and he listened to everyone's arrangement, and went to Zhao's house to pick up Zhao Qingyi and bid farewell to Zhao Guang's family.

Turning around and returning to the place where he lived, the rituals continued one by one. Jiaozi ceremony, send-off ceremony, wo ceremony, prison ceremony, etc., trivial and complicated, quiet, no music, no gongs and drums, only two people under the gaze of everyone, as solemn as an oath to heaven and earth.

Jiang Hexing is like a puppet that has been arranged, one by one according to the pre-said holdings, feeling extremely tired, looking at the beautiful Zhao Qingyi next to him, he has come to the spirit again, and the wedding will be completed.

When drinking, Jiang Hexing was as lively as a tiger descending from the mountain, toasting and persuading him one by one, but fortunately, everyone didn't dare to let him drink more when they saw him newly married.

When the guests left, Jiang Hexing walked into the cave room and saw Zhao Qingyi sitting at the table, quietly looking at the burning candles. is really as beautiful as jade, under the illumination of the light, her face is flushed, she glanced at Jiang Hexing, and immediately lowered her head. Jiang He walked over and held her little hand, which was cold and cold.

"It's so cold, why don't you add more clothes?" Jiang Hexing asked in a low voice.

"I, I, I'm afraid, I'm afraid you don't like it." Zhao Qingyi replied in a whisper.

"Silly boy, how can I not like it, will I marry you if I don't like it? Come on, let's get on the kang. As he spoke, he held Zhao Qingyi in his arms, and Zhao Qingyi lowered his head to Jiang Hexing's chest, not daring to say a word.

Jiang He Xingliang walked to the kang head in two steps and gently put Zhao Qingyi on the kang.

"Ah", Zhao Qingyi sat up, a little uneasy: "Why is this so hot, it scares me." ”

Jiang Hexing looked at his beautiful wife very proudly, "It's warmer this way, this is the kang I made, and it won't be cold after winter." ”

Zhao Qingyi calmed down, curiously touched the kang and the quilt on the kang, and looked at Jiang Hexing with admiration on his face: "Really, it's so warm, husband, you are so amazing." ”

Jiang Hexing also got on the kang, took off his coat, pulled Zhao Qingyi into the quilt, and took Zhao Qingyi in his arms, Zhao Qingyi trembled a little, Jiang Hexing went down, moved Zhao Qingyi's face, looked carefully, and then leaned down......
