Chapter Seventy-Four: All to the Zola's Family
Mrs. Niu was going to develop a new market today, so she got up at three o'clock in the morning, put on a mule cart, and set off with Aunt Zhao and Aunt Liu with confidence.
Hua Pozi disliked the scalper, "You look at the point, pull it steady, we have a cake in the car, a cake with flowers, you have broken up, see if I don't give you a discount on the cow leg." ”
"Okay, don't scare the cow, let's go!" Fang Mingshan's mother-in-law Jin urged him.
Fang Mingtong's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, got into the car, carefully protected the cream cake, and shouted to the scalper: "Cow, cow, you can walk steadily, walk steadily, come back and feed you an extra bundle of hay!" ”
Fang Mingyuan rode on the jujube red horse and shouted: "Mother, uncle, let's go!" ”
Fang Mingyuan left early, Fang Yue didn't find his father when he got up, so he went to find Uncle Mingjiang and asked to build a bridge quickly, and he also needed a lot of oval molds. Then I went to my mother to ask for a house, and she built half of the pastry warehouse, and she wanted to use it to make soap, soap.
My sister sent a job again, and asked him to find a blacksmith to make a distillation pot, which still needs to be drawn.
After noon, the sentry boys stood outside the camp gate and shouted: "Someone is coming, the fourth uncle is here with outsiders!" ”
The huhula with beaten eggs and cream are all squeezed into the oven. With a bang, the door to the baking room slammed shut.
The cake chef turned around: "......"
The people from the Yamen were quickly surrounded by the men in the village, handed cakes to eat, and brought tea water fried in gynostemma.
"Huh? This tea is good, with a sweet aftertaste and a burnt aroma. "The master bookkeeper tasted the tea, wondering where did these people get the tea?
The red and blackened tea soup looks very bright, and the tea leaves are good!
The patriarch said in his heart, can it not be burnt incense! Wang Xuzhi's old thing, fried the herb leaves.
I heard Mingyuan's nephew say that he used gynostemma to fry tea, crossed the river without dying, and went up the mountain to find herbs, and he didn't know what disease to cure, so don't give people to drink diarrhea.
Fang Mingyuan hurriedly explained: "This is earth-cooked tea, our village has Langzhong, I know that this herb is fried to make medicinal tea, drinking it can prolong life, invigorate qi and strengthen the spleen, dissolve phlegm and relieve cough, it is a good thing to replenish qi!" ”
Wang Xuzhi shook his head and shook his head, "This thing treats spleen deficiency, lung deficiency and dry cough, sweet taste, bitterness, cold, and returns to the spleen meridian and lung meridian." ”
The patriarch followed: "Yes, yes, it's a good thing, the old king, it's him, he didn't want to cross the river and go up the mountain to get it, and he drank the old and relieved his fatigue, this is not what he is doing in autumn!" Drink this well. ”
The master book nodded, sat on the wooden pier and took a few sips of tea, slowly raised his hand, and took a bite of the soft dim sum.
Well? It's delicious, it's soft, and it goes well with this tea!
"I don't know, our dim sum is different from the outside, we call it pastry, a pound of dim sum to use a pound of eggs, half a pound of oil, eight taels of sugar, but also milk. You eat this is a honey cake, made of pure honey, and it is not sold outside! ”
Fang Mingyuan said exaggeratedly, beckoned to the people behind him and shouted: "Go and load the cake for the officials, let the officials work hard today, and bring some back to the officials when you leave." ”
The head of the team in the official stood up, "Brother Mingyuan, our family ate the flower cake you sent yesterday, and we can't take it anymore today." ”
Fang Mingyuan was stunned, when did I send you a cake yesterday? Also flower cake.
Fang Yue squeezed in, looked at Cui Bantou and said with a smile: "Are you Aunt Cui?" Is my aunt okay? Mother is still talking about it today! There's a new pastry style again, and I'll bring some to my aunt next time I go to the city! ”
"But don't bring it, you keep it for the money, our family is not short of food." Cui Bantou rubbed Fang Yue's head, and the back molars of the smile were exposed.
Qian Chuanzi whispered to Fang Mingyuan about the shopkeeper and the lady of the cloth shop, who were familiar at first sight.
Eat, drink, and begin to measure the fields!
Cui Bantou chatted with Fang Mingyuan for a while, and he had already become a real relative. The house is not finished? It's okay, let's measure around the courtyard wall, it's all your land, whoever builds a house in the future, just make up a white deed in the clan.
Just halfway out of the vegetable patch? That's, how can there be kung fu! Let's measure more places, grow vegetables, raise chickens, you are free.
Do you want to build a family study outside the walls? That's the important thing, where is five or six acres of land enough, measure ten acres of land for you, and if there are more children in the future, the school can accommodate it.
Fang Mingyuan shook his head, "Ten acres is still not enough, can you count from the east courtyard wall all the way to the side of the official road?" ”
From the barracks to the side of the official road? There are twenty acres of land here, you are not afraid of spending money on the red deed, let's measure it!
Chang'an pulled Cui Bantou aside and whispered: "My mother said, don't buy charcoal in my aunt's store, our family has it, wait for a few days when the livestock is free, and pull a few carts for my aunt." ”
Cui Bantou's heart is warm! Look, the godsister that the daughter-in-law knows has a good character, "Don't, don't, our family doesn't have much carbon, you keep it for sale money, don't worry about our family." ”
"We burn charcoal for our own use in the winter, if my aunt's family still buys charcoal, isn't it a waste!" Chang An said and stretched out his hand, "Uncle, look, we children are burning charcoal by the river!" ”
Cui Bantou squinted and smiled, okay, my uncle-in-law understands!
"Measure out the west wall to the river, and row it into Fenggu Village, where people have a kiln for burning charcoal."
My uncle-in-law is a person who understands! Although the river is now dug with large and small pits, it has been filled in later, and those fields are planted with grain, which is more productive than wasteland.
Daddy Zhang smiled and said to the main bookkeeper: "When spring begins, we want to build a bridge, and the land on the side of the mountain can be used, and it can't be wasted!" ”
The master book looked across the river, and you were going to let us swim down the river to measure the land?
Fang Mingyuan stuffed a packet of gynostemma tea leaves into the main book, "It's not a good thing, take it back and drink it." The ...... of the hillside Even if there is no bridge on the side of the mountain, there is no bridge at the moment, and the yamen cannot be divided to relocate, so let people swim over. ”
The main bookkeeper looked down at the tea leaves, give me a bag of medicinal tea, you still want to give the mountain bag!
An ox cart drove into the town, and the woman who drove the cart shouted as she walked: "Nephew daughter-in-law, nephew daughter-in-law! Quick, quick, big order, big order! ”
Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Li followed with a smile on their faces, but their hearts were sour. They are following the apprentice today, and the order they received is from the flower woman. The flower woman fooled people to order cakes and earned a few taels of silver!
"What a big list, it depends on what you called!" The patriarch went up to stop him.
The flower woman was overjoyed, "Three-tiered, three-tiered big cakes, nineteen are ordered!" There is a member who has added the eldest grandson, the eldest grandson, what a blessed baby, a precious treasure! ”
Mrs. Jin thought, let you earn more than five taels of silver, isn't it expensive!
Mrs. Li asked in a low voice: "She is so happy that she is a fool, how much silver did she earn?" Did you figure it out? ”
"Do you still need to count? Didn't I say it all yesterday, the three-layer cake was given 270 yuan, and the sale of 19 was more than 5 taels! Mrs. Jin pondered, go back to let Mingshan's daughter-in-law study hard, strive to learn how to make cakes, and earn more than five taels for the family.
Mrs. Li said sourly: "Your family still has Mingshan's daughter-in-law who is capable, but my family will not be successful, Mingtong's daughter-in-law has not yet understood the milk!" ”
The third uncle stopped the flower woman and whispered: "Bad girl, I didn't see the official come to us to measure the land!" ”
Dong Xiaoying looked at the people who were beating cream, if she wanted to sell more decorated cakes, she had to save more milk to make butter. Look at it now, four cows are still less! I don't know when the cows will be culled in the princess zoo.
The officials who sent away the Yamen to measure the land, and there was jubilation in the barracks. Mrs. Niu came back, brought back orders from restaurants and teahouses in Yingxian County, and sold the cakes to Qinglou.
"Auntie, tell me, what's the Qinglou like?"
Mrs. Niu glanced at Fang Mingcai, are you not cleaning up.
"Qinglou!" Aunt Zhao sat cross-legged in the shack, "That's old-fashioned, small buildings, small pavilions, all kinds of chrysanthemums, as well as small bridges and flowing water, lanterns are hung in broad daylight, and candles are lit inside, blind a candle, who will illuminate it during the day!" ”
Aunt Liu continued: "The girl in the building is old and handsome, the skin on her body is as white as cabbage leaves, she can't cover the meat when she wears it, and she is not too cold, and she walks with a layer of light yarn. Still shaking the fan, I don't know if it's hot, or to chase mosquitoes. ”
Fang Mingcai said with a smile: "That's designated to catch mosquitoes, autumn mosquitoes have poisonous mouths, and they itch for several days with a bite." ”
Mrs. Niu said: "The girl is still a maid!" Eat our cream cake, use a small copper spoon, and someone is waiting to serve tea and water. ”
Aunt Zhao nodded and said, "The old bustard will come to trouble!" Anyway, let's put a cake in the building first, write a poem praising the girl's beauty, and let those losers who visit the green building compete to buy it for a rare girl. ”
Fang Mingcai asked: "Then how much does our cake cost in Qinglou?" ”
Aunt Liu smacked her lips and said: "Tut, don't you want to go to the Qinglou, our family's smallest six-inch cake, people said, start bidding from ten taels, and the silver can be used to hold the cake upstairs to find the girl." ”
Mrs. Niu nodded and said, "The old bustard is black!" The three-layer cake, people said, at least a hundred taels of silver to start, want to see the top girl, don't want to go upstairs without a thousand silver. ”
Fang Mingcai sighed with a snort: "Hiss! There are so many rich fools out there! There are a thousand taels of silver, what kind of daughter-in-law can't marry, isn't it comfortable to hold a daughter-in-law at home? ”
Fang Mingcai's daughter-in-law heard this sentence when she came over, reached out and twisted the soft meat on his waist, snorted and left.
Mrs. Niu, Aunt Zhao, and Aunt Liu laughed.
Everyone has come back, the patriarch is beating the gong and shouting, each family in the big shack has a main matter, we are going to divide the house today.
