Chapter 167: The Best Student (3)
came to the back of his house.
It turned out to be a dirt slope, because this land contains a lot of saline, and no one is willing to open up the land, so there are messy turnips and some dwarf trees. The Zheng family built several rows of houses on this land. In front is the workshop, and in the back are the weavers who have settled.
Zheng Lang brought Xing'er and Si'er to the workshop, and there were many people, in addition to the twelve weaver girls invited from Dingzhou, and some women from the village were invited to help. Originally, I only planned to invite ten women to lay miscellaneous jobs, of course, if I could learn this craft, the Zheng family would be more welcome.
But the wages were high, and many women in Zhengjiazhuang were excited, and more than 20 women were squeezed in at once. A few mothers were soft-hearted, and besides, this wasteland was not strictly their own, but they let their own family build a workshop, settled twelve weavers, built houses for them, and occupied all this "public land". I was ashamed, and I took them all.
Good intentions are good intentions, but labor is seriously wasted, and at least half of them are now equal to making soy sauce. But even if they have all learned, it is impossible to be productive. At present, the efficiency is even slower, nearly forty female workers, in a month, can only carve four or five paintings, or use Zheng Lang's method, otherwise the efficiency is even lower.
If you add that in order to attract weavers to move to Zhengzhou, they bought nearly 200 acres of land for 12 households, and cut nearly 100 acres of land from their own homes, as well as the money to build houses, the cost is even more amazing. Therefore, it is to throw away the value of Zheng Lang's calligraphy and painting, as well as the status he may come, the fame he has now and other invisible values, and the cost of each carved silk work is also very high.
Walked into the workshop.
Loosely speaking, this is a primitive factory, the production method of pseudo-assembly line, the cooperation of small-scale groups, and the management of Chai Keming, a cultured CEO, compared with the factories of later generations, the poor is the backwardness of Yang Machinery equipment.
But no!
There is no accurate commuting time, Zheng Lang deliberately instructed Chai Keming, but now there are many things in the countryside, and he can't do it at all, Chai Keming said a few words, but was stopped by the eldest mother, and said: "Chai Juzi, they are all from the villagers, forgive me." ”
Who is the biggest in the Zheng family, not Zheng Lang, but the eldest mother.
Chai Keming had no choice but to communicate with them and understand reason, but he was told some slang by a group of spicy women, so Chai Keming hurriedly fled.
There is also a situation, there is indeed something, rural people, mainly farming, when the farm is busy, the women of Zhengjiazhuang can't look down on any of them, and all of them work in the fields. Chai Juzi, you grew up reading sage books, do you want to see our family officials die of exhaustion in the fields alone?
In fact, with good returns, the wages are very high, and if you really add up the annual salary, it is possible that the income from the fields in their homes is higher. But what if people don't think so? The new weavers are even better, they can't catch up with the summer harvest, but with the autumn arrival, it is very likely that they will all slip away like the women of Zhengjiazhuang. At that time, Chai Keming will have to guard these looms.
The third is chatting, if three or four women get together, it will be very terrible, so many women get together, you can imagine. chattering all day long, from the east family to the west family, including Chai Keming's mother-in-law. After a day, Chai Keming's head was noisy, and he was still bitter.
After Zheng Lang came back, he poured out all the bitter water in one go. Zheng Lang had no choice but to come over and take a look.
Seeing Zheng Lang coming, these women put down their work together and shouted affectionately: "Da Lang, Da Lang." ”
When the first female worker was selected, Zheng Lang deliberately only chose women in order to avoid secrecy, and the little girls who did not leave the cabinet did not want it, so there was a current situation, none of these women were afraid, one by one around Zheng Lang, if he did not consider his future status, he could reach out and grab his little face.
As soon as he saw this posture, Zheng Lang fled, walked out, and said to Chai Keming: "Brother Chai, you can be wronged, if you can manage some things, you can take care of them, and if you can't manage them, you should not see them." ”
"......" Chai Keming's eyes widened, this is the way you came up for me?
At this time, Song Bo ran over in surprise and said, "Da Lang, Rhubarb has given birth to cubs." ”
Rhubarb is another cow of the Zheng family, whose name was also given by Song Bo, and there is even a little green horse given by the old lady.
Don't think it's just a calf, in the countryside now, its important surname is no less important than a woman giving birth to a child.
"Let's take a look." Zheng Lang said.
Before the words were finished, most of the women in the workshop ran out and followed Zheng Lang over to see. The Zheng family's cattle, in a sense, are also equivalent to their cattle, the more the merrier.
In turn, you can see how poor the discipline of the workshop is.
Zheng Lang shook his head, thinking in his heart that if it was soft, it would be loved, but it turned out like this. Including the relationship between the little emperor and his ministers, as well as the relationship between Li Guang and his soldiers, it is all the same, and he has loved, but the little emperor has not achieved better achievements, although the stars are shining, Li Guang has not achieved greater military achievements, and his own family has not achieved better benefits.
In front of the barn, the ox was lying on the ground, and a calf was getting under its belly to feed.
"It's so cute," Jiang Xing'er happily ran over and stroked the little scalper's smooth body.
But there was a discordant incident, and now every family attaches great importance to big livestock, so Song Bo and Xiao Bo prepared some fine grains to nourish rhubarb. I also brought a few chickens from the fine grain. So Xiaoqing smelled the smell of chickens, ran over, and took advantage of everyone's inattention, and bit the eggshell open and ate it.
"Go, go, you cunning and delicious pony," Song Bo tapped it on the head as he led it away.
Everyone laughed again, and there were rumors about Xiaoqing's stealing mouth.
But in the end, it was a quiet and warm scene, Zheng Lang did not go back, and chatted with the villagers.
Suddenly, Liu Niang ran over and said, "Oh no, Lang'er, someone smashed your stele." ”
Brainless, Zheng Lang didn't immediately understand, and asked, "Liuniang, what are you smashing the stone tablet?" ”
"A young man, come to my door and hit your stele with a stone, saying that you are a person who deceives the world and steals your name, and uses the name of the queen mother to covet your own quietness, what kind of disloyalty and unfilial piety is it." Liu Niang said unclearly that her son had erected this stone tablet for a long time, and no one dared to smash it. And this young man also wore a big hat for Zheng Lang while smashing it, what queen mother, what disloyalty and unfilial piety, all the previous mothers were frightened.
"Whose child is this?" Zheng Lang is also strange.
Whether he is disloyal and unfilial, and whether he can ruin his reputation if he is not a young man, but he is also very curious. So when he came to the front, the young man didn't smash it, but he was standing in a daze, it was Xiao San'er.
The trip was far from what he thought.
It is not far, more than a hundred miles, if a sturdy adult endures some hardships, he can arrive in a day and a night. It is an ordinary adult, who eats and drinks well and sleeps well, and can also arrive smoothly in two days. But he was a kid after all.
On the first day, I tasted the sinister taste of the rivers and lakes, and I didn't have a penny on my body, what should I do, the inn was definitely not able to live, so I ran to a bluestone by the river and fell asleep. On a May day, the nights are not very cold, but there is one more thing, mosquitoes!
I couldn't fall asleep because of the bite, and the next day I continued on the road with a pair of dark circles under my eyes, which was slower. And the crisis came, when I went out of the capital, I bought a few pieces of bread and carried it in my arms, the big bowl of tea was cheap, and I also needed money, and I couldn't afford to drink it, so I ate cakes along the way with the stream water.
The IQ is developed, and unlike ordinary children, they know that even this cake must be eaten slowly, otherwise it will be even worse if they finish eating. One hungry walks more slowly. At night, I was so hungry that I couldn't stand it, and I couldn't wipe my face and beg from the people, and then I looked around with my eyes wide open, and ran to the vegetable garden in the countryside, picked a few small melon eggs, removed the bitter seeds, and said in my heart while eating: Fathers and fellow villagers, I'm sorry for you, wait for me to learn my skills, and I will repay you later.
As for the words stealing, stealing, and stealing, I don't dare to think about it for the time being.
But can this be hungry? Don't listen to what is said in the novel, a few peaches, a bottle of wine is full, and if there is no food to support it, you will only get hungrier. The night was long, and the more I ate, the hungrier I became, so the more eggs I picked. In the end, my stomach can't hold on, and I'm still hungry!
I didn't figure it out, I slept on the bluestone again, my stomach screamed, and I couldn't sleep because of the mosquito bites, so I had to look up at the sky and count the stars. One, two, three, thousands...... On the third day, we continued on the road, and in the evening, we approached the city of Zhengzhou. In fact, as long as you rush to find the Zheng family's store, and say, I know Zheng Lang, and all the food, drink and sleep will come immediately, but I don't dare, I am afraid that I will be sent back without seeing Zheng Lang.
Perseverance is so.
Take a break not far from the city of Zhengzhou. At this time, the cakes were also eaten, and he was so hungry that he was helpless, and he once again became a lonely ghost outside Zhengzhou City, wandering around, looking for melon eggs. At this time, his physical strength was exhausted to the extreme, and he finally fell asleep on the stones.
He slept until dawn, and heard a woman in his ear speak: "Whose little beggar is this, so pitiful." ”
I am not a beggar, I want to stand up, but my body softens, but I can open my eyes, and I see two women standing in front of him, looking at him with pitiful eyes, and the woman who spoke before said to the other woman, "Aunt Wang, I don't have any money with me, have you brought it?" ”
"Brought it."
"Give me ten pennies."
Asking for ten cents, the woman bent down, handed it to the third son, and said, "Xiaolang, go buy something to eat." ”
Xiao Sanzi's eyes lit up, he read a lot of books, what kind of grace of a meal, he was very suspicious before, but at this time he knew how precious it was, with ten yuan, he could buy at least ten sugar cakes. The strength surged up suddenly, got up from the stone, and arched his hand and said: "Please ask the surname of the eldest mother, the boy will repay the grace of the eldest lady today with a thousand times." ”
"Silly boy, go buy something to eat, don't say anything to report," the woman didn't take it seriously, and when she finished speaking, she pulled another woman away.
made the little third son full of emotion, there are bad people and good people in this world.
Holding ten cents and holding it tightly in his hand, if Di Qing came to snatch it from him at this time, he might not be able to snatch it away. Outside the city of Zhengzhou, there are many families outside the city, and after decades of peace, the population has increased rapidly, and the population of every town is expanding dramatically. Therefore, there are many people outside Zhengzhou, and there are shops, including dim sum shops, which sell sugar cakes, crackers (later Huangqiao baked cakes), rich cakes, and four bags of steamed buns, raw stuffed steamed buns, fried flower steamed buns, mutton steamed buns, fine sand buns, shrimp meat buns, goose and duck buns, Guanghan cakes, Danai cakes, five-spice cakes, I see that the little third son is dazzled, and he has never felt that the food is so cute, no less than Zheng Lang's words.
The same came a little, held it in your hand, and ate it slowly.
After eating, he recovered his strength a little and continued to walk towards Zhengjiazhuang. Before coming to that canal, the more famous Zheng Lang became, the more people came to wash his feet, and later even the people of neighboring states and counties came to wash their feet with their children. When the third son came to the canal, he did not wash his feet, but washed his face, and washed it a little to see Zheng Lang, otherwise he would have a bad impression.
Xian made his face, his eyes finally became resolute, and he strode to Zhengjiazhuang. At this time, the Zheng family was almost all watching the rhubarb in the back livestock shed, and only Erniang, Siniang and Liuniang were boiling tea in front. No one paid attention to his arrival either.
Xiao Sanzi stood in front of the stone tablet, meditating in his heart, it is not difficult to see Zheng Jieyuan, the difficult thing is how to make Zheng Jieyuan pay attention to himself, and finally accept himself. So I thought of a celebrity, Feng Xuan. He has been unknown under Meng Yanjun's door, what to do, so he came back with a long gong and returned without a car and no fish, which attracted Meng Yanjun's attention and left his name in the annals of history.
So he had a superb IQ, and he didn't expect any of them to come to so many scholars, but he thought of it, found a stone, smashed it on the stone tablet, and scolded Zheng Lang for his actions while smashing it.
