Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Arrangement of Fate
The things that were set on the set yesterday were sent by the villagers, and Dong Xiaoying had work to do again, and she was responsible for settling accounts outside the camp gate, and she had to keep an account of how much money she had spent.
"We are from Fengdeng Village, not far from you, the official road is across the land of our village, our village grows forage for horses in the yamen, I see you cut a lot, is there livestock at home?
It's okay, cut and feed the animals! A little grass, it's worthless, don't talk to the lady, you really don't want money. I'm not here to give you a vat, eggs! By the way, it's nothing, it's nothing. ”
You are nothing, Dong Xiaoying is happy, Fengdeng Village grows grass for officers and soldiers!
No, it seems that the old ladies cut the grass and used it to start the fire. Emma, you can't just cut it in the future, it's not wild grass!
I'm going to remind you that someone is here to deliver something that has been ordered.
At the end of the day, I spent fifty-seven taels of silver to buy a lot of things, cotton, cloth woven by the women of the village themselves, all kinds of vegetable seeds, jars, jars, vats, and urns.
Several carts of vegetables, a basket of eggs, and soybean oil, in addition to sugar, Dong Xiaoying's ingredients for making cakes are almost all available.
Boom! A loud bang startled Dong Xiaoying.
The mowers all straightened up and looked at the river, remembering that it was where the children burned charcoal, threw away their sickles, and hurried over to see the children.
The children were fine, and the adults who helped were fine, but a few of them cried.
"What's going on?"
Fang Yue pouted and said, "I said, the kiln for burning charcoal is small, and you can't put too much mud, they have to listen, look, fry the kiln!" ”
The patriarch covered his frightened heart, and scolded with his feet: "Can you go to heaven?" You still don't listen to what the chick says!
Who is the chick, that's a rare baby from God, a lucky doll that drops money all over her body, God gave her a trick to make money, and also opened up your elm heads? ”
"Listen to your sister! She's been trying for two days and can't go wrong. Chang'an persuaded hard.
Dong Xiaoying sighed on the side, this is a whole matter, the young body of the girl contains the soul of a modern graduate student, do you know what a graduate student is!
"Listen to me, the chick won't mess around, just like the patriarch said, God gave her a trick in this regard, let's not believe in evil, don't look at this chick as a child, just think that you are better than her, and then make a noise, frighten the baby, see if I don't clean you up." Mrs. Wang scolded with a frightened face.
Zhang Ermeng, the second grandson of the Zhang family, came with Grandma Zhang on her back, she is the oldest person in the village, her ears are a little back, and her eyes are also dazzled.
"What the hell! What a noise! Grandma Zhang patted her grandson on the back and looked around the ground, "It's all right!" ”
Zhang Sanwang shouted: "Milk, we're all fine, it's okay!" ”
"Children just can't be idle, look at the big moves, no one can do it, and if you do this, your grandmother will let your father beat your ass."
Yes, yes, we're so naughty, go back and look at the mountain view!
Fang Mingyuan didn't bother to speak, first checked how his daughter was, she was not injured, she was not scared. Listening to the patriarch's training, he also put out the fire, and told his daughter, don't go to the river, see if you slip into the river, and don't go to the side of the kiln, see how scary it is, and then collapse.
The stuffy man came back with a piece of wood, and he didn't have time to put down the wood, so he looked at the little lady first, the little master, and then the young lady, all of them were fine, and they turned around and left with the wood.
Dong Xiaoying ran with the stuffy man all the way: "You kid, why do you carry a piece of wood alone?" Put it down, find someone to carry it, don't get tired, oops! Don't be too young to do anything, you will be tired and injured. ”
Stuffy put down the wood and smiled at Dong Xiaoying, "Miss, I'm fine." ”
"Huh? Don't be disobedient! Dong Xiaoying turned around and ran to find milk, this kid is too sincere in his work, and he needs to make up for it.
When the stuffy son came back, he was blocked by Dong Xiaoying and poured a bowl of milk, wanting to say that he didn't drink it, I didn't like the taste, Miss saw him finish drinking, took the bowl and left.
Dong Xiaoying didn't know what she was busy with in a day, she really didn't have idle for a while, weaving straw curtains, boiling water, feeding cows, and going back and forth to settle accounts and keep accounts for the delivery people.
When I was free, I looked up and saw that the people who were mowing the grass in the field had only a vague back, and they had gone two miles of land this day. Looking back at the barracks, her baking room has already been framed by the window and door, waiting for the beam tomorrow morning.
Fang Mingyuan is commanding the base oven, one is the earliest fruit growing, the oven used to bake old bread, and the other is the oven used by foreigners to bake pizza, according to his son. He pondered for a long time in his mind, and felt that the oven that his daughter-in-law and son said seemed to be similar, that is, our oven, and the tuyere and chimney were slightly different from foreign ones.
On the construction site where the houses were built for the villagers, everyone was busy mixing mud, using the square bluestone foundation removed from the barracks, and the stone stacks were placed one meter wide, and they were closed up little by little, and they saw that the foundation could be made today.
Daddy Zhang is still in a hurry! Say, if the plaster hadn't kept up, the house here would have been able to raise the wall today.
That's right, dozens of people are building a house around. One hand put the bricks on the stack, the other hand brushed the plaster, and a brick was put on again. This man took a wooden hammer and hammered the stacked bricks to ensure that there was no air in the cracks of the bricks, and as soon as he withdrew his hand, the other man brushed another layer of plaster......
There are too many things at home, so I called Fang Mingyuan to ask about everything. Chang'an began to worry, he was going to find a gold blacksmith to make a mixer, and someone would take this job? Besides, if you don't have a dad to follow, who will bargain!
In the middle of the night, the person who went to Yanhui City to pull iron ore slag came back, Chang'an was woken up by the uncle, climbed into the car in a daze, wrapped in a quilt that I don't know who covered him, and then fell asleep!
Fang Yue didn't work actively when she got up, a third of the order she gave her yesterday was burned, and the river was full of pits. At this rate, it won't take half a month, waiting for someone to pull the goods, and four hundred and eight taels of silver will be in hand.
"Don't worry about charcoal, I tell you, it's only the kind that costs four pennies to sell.
Do you believe it or not? The owner of the steamed bun shop, as long as he sets up a charcoal basin, he is sure to pull a lot of customers for you. ”
Fang Yue believed in her mother's words, after all, there were still few big households, and besides, there were few woods that could burn good charcoal, and if you wanted to burn good charcoal, you had to ask adults to build bridges over the river and cross the river and go up the mountain to find wood.
Dong Xiaoying called her daughter hot water and said: "I remember that it is not only about wood, it is related to your charcoal burning skills, but also your simple broken kiln, only specific wood can produce good charcoal." ”
After brushing her teeth, Fang Yue said impatiently: "Mom, don't bother, bake your cake quickly, I'm hungry for cream cakes." ”
"Cut, you didn't eat the birthday cake that was so expensive before, you all gave it to your face, and now you think it's delicious?" Dong Xiaoying gave the small porcelain bottle to her daughter and instructed: "How old are you, don't use facial cleanser too hard." ”
Fang Mingyuan picked up the washing water used by his daughter-in-law, snorted a few times, and grinned silently. The girl has no father to protect her, she doesn't seem to suffer, and she gives the cake a paste, it seems that the daughter-in-law is used to it, and if she is used to it, the girl will be pampered.
"Mom, Mom! Quick, quick, I remember, squeeze me a basin of milk, I'm going to wash my face with that. "When I heard my mother talk about facial cleanser, I suddenly remembered that the cows were coming.
Dong Xiaoying said: "Don't be a demon, that thing can be eaten as breakfast now, how much food has been saved, don't you know, the cow is old and capable, four cows, can give more than 300 of us more than 300 people to drink milk, I don't know how to praise the baby cow." ”
Oh my God, baby cow? You're a baby, and you still want to boast!
"A little milk, I'll go and bring it to my daughter, how much does it cost? The milk smells fishy, you can't wash your face with pure milk! Is it mixed with some warm water? Fang Mingyuan left with a smile, now the conditions are like this, what's wrong with milk washing your face, and the right to make her daughter happy in the bitterness.
Dong Xiaoying explained in a whisper: It's not that she doesn't use it, the fresh milk is squeezed out, she has to take it to stand first, wait for the milk to be layered, and then use it to make butter. Now the milk that everyone drinks is skim milk after the butter has been separated.
The old ladies packed the cow early in the morning, this cow is good! Raise it to save food, eat some grass, and milk out of the milk, why is it rare to attract people!
Xiao Jindou was on duty outside the barracks gate, and when he saw the car coming, he ran up to stop and interrogate first, knowing what was going on, he asked people to wait outside the gate, and he ran back to call someone.
"Someone came, saying that it was sending bricks, a cart of bricks."
After settling the brick money, I listened to Daddy Zhang's muttering, how can this brick be cheap, although it is an old brick, it will not be cheap like this!
Everyone began to mutter, "Yesterday, people built a kang and built a partial house, and built a new house for his son, and the remaining bricks cost two pennies for the red bricks, and the old bricks sent today cost three pennies for three pennies, which are cheap and evil!" ”
The old ladies also felt that it was too cheap, and the patriarch looked around a pile of green bricks, and suddenly exclaimed, "Quick, don't touch these bricks, find them back for the person who sent the bricks, whoever runs fast, go and chase them back, we don't want them, don't want this brick." ”
