Chapter 155: Reflection
It's a brother.
Being said by Zheng Chang aroused Guo Mianmian's curiosity, and he wanted to ask Zheng Rin about some things in the tiger tent, especially what he would do after all when he was drunk.
Zheng Chang is also a good person, even if the porridge scolds his good brother, in front of his sister-in-law, he may know how to save face for him, so he half-truths and half-truths are better, but it happens that people can't see that he is fooling.
Although he didn't find out about his fiancé's troubles, the life of the hot-blooded tiger tent also made Guo Mianmian listen to it with relish, and he didn't chase after it.
"Thank you." Taking advantage of Guo Mianmian's busy business, Zheng Rin, who consciously escaped the catastrophe, breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fist and struck his brother's chest, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Don't mention those things to your sister-in-law in the future, otherwise it will be difficult for me to revitalize my brother." ”
It was the truth, and listening to it in Zheng Chang's ears led to a naked display, and he couldn't help but say: "Come on, you, sister-in-law is beautiful and virtuous, if it is not enough for me to hold it into a magic weapon, how can I be willing to reinvigorate my husband in front of her." ”
Zheng Rin has no machismo, Zhenfu Gang's words also want to win the understanding of his good brother, so that he doesn't tell his fiancée about his past troubles, he never thought that his good brother is reaction, and he couldn't cry or laugh for a while, but he was not very easy to answer with him.
While the two were talking and laughing, the cub who had slept in the den woke up. Hearing the sound of a living person in the hall, he immediately rolled out cautiously.
That's right, it's a roll! During the month of Guo Mianmian's absence, Liu couldn't take care of the family when he looked outside, for fear that the cub would be hungry and the newly hatched chicks at home would be harmed, so he could feed it vigorously every day. No, in just a month's work, the volume has doubled, the whole body has become more rounded, and it is like rolling on the ground when I walk.
Looking at the little bear cub who rolled to him and roared at him, Zheng Chang's eyes widened in disbelief: "Good girl, I'm not mistaken, this is a bear cub, a grizzly bear cub!" ”
Zheng Rin really couldn't look directly at the good brother's useless appearance, and kicked the little bear cub who was still playing ruthlessly with his toes: "Don't scream, go out and play by yourself." ”
The little bear cub who was still whistling a moment ago seemed to understand Zheng Rin's words, and didn't call anymore, stared at Zheng Chang carefully, and after confirming that he was not dangerous, he rolled under the big tree in the yard, dug out the ant nest, and picked up the small insects that fell from the tree to eat.
Zheng Chang watched as he saw it, and half of his talent retracted his gaze, and quickly asked about the origin of the little bear cub.
He is a man who likes to domesticate cats and dogs, and when he was still in operation, he also caught a little wolf cub, hoping to domesticate the wolf cub for use in the tiger tent, but failed. Seeing such a well-behaved little bear cub now, his ambition slowly burned again.
It is much easier to tame a bear than a wolf who does not give in by nature. Especially this kind of cub bear, which is somewhat similar to the character of a dog cub, raised from a young age, will always have more closeness, and it will not be too difficult to domesticate.
Seeing this, Zheng Rin knew what his good brother was thinking, so he prompted: "The little bear cub is raised by your sister-in-law, she will not give it to anyone, you should withdraw this idea as soon as possible." ”
Zheng Chang didn't want to give up, and tried to persuade his close friends: "This little thing is not dangerous now, but when it grows up, who knows if it will hurt people?" It's better to let my sister-in-law hand it over to me to raise, if it is well raised, I will send my sister-in-law back, and if it is not good, I will put it back in the mountains, I promise that it will not harm it. ”
Zheng Rin knew that if he didn't make it clear, the good brother would not revoke the idea of domesticating the cub, not only told the origin of the cub in detail, but also told his fiancée's arrangements for the cub.
Looking at the little bear cub squatting under the big tree and digging an ant hole with great interest, the heat in Zheng Chang's eyes dissipated, and he shook his head helplessly: "You have all thought about the path of the little bear cub, and I don't have the face to propose to my sister-in-law to domesticate it, but you have to remind your sister-in-law not to get too close to this bear cub, otherwise when it grows up, you won't be able to get rid of it." ”
Zheng Rin didn't take the tips of his close friend to heart, and saw that there were many birds and finches chirping in the big trees in the yard, so he said: "I have time these days, and the sky is also very good, so it is better to take the wolf eight to the mountains for a walk, and just take the little bear cub with me." ”
This matter had been discussed before, and Zheng Chang naturally would not veto, so he agreed: "Okay, let's go back the next day, let's go back early later, and prepare the things we need to use to enter the mountain." ”
Now it is the spring flowers, the cats have come out of the wild for a winter, not to mention the large predatory beasts, those snakes, insects, rats and ants alone can drive people crazy, and if you are not ready to go to the end, you will find guilt.
Well, now that you've collected the bear cubs and the wolf green dog cubs, Mianmian will soon be able to summon geometric mountain delicacies (ˉ『ˉ)
Knowing that Zheng Rin and Zheng Chang were going to hunt in the mountains, Guo Mianmian's brothers and sisters also decided to take a day to go into the mountains to have a look. After all the seedlings were transplanted into the ground, they were busy and never idle.
In the first few days, the seedlings could not be dried, nor could the birds and birds eat the seedlings, and during the day, the brothers Guo Shu and Guo Lin took long bamboo poles to walk around the flower field, and at dusk they had to work with the people who invited them to help, watering the seedlings that had been exposed to the sun for a day, and the ones who were bent on were more careful than the crops.
Guo Mianmian was even busier, because most of the wildflowers on the side of the mountains in the field were in full bloom, and it was the time for picking. She and Liu worked alone, one stayed in the workshop, and pickled flower sauce with Guo Zhi, who came to assist, every day; Liu led the villagers who wanted to earn more money to collect fresh flowers on the side of the mountain in the field.
Guo's family collects flowers picked by the villagers with two catties, usually good character and rare flowers cost four cents a catty, and the price of ordinary flowers is also two to three cents.
To know that the weight of flowers is not light, an adult who moves neatly can pick at least ten catties of flowers a day under the premise of finding flowers, and can earn 20 to 30 yuan a day.
Under the encouragement of the money, there are many villagers involved in the collection of flowers, almost two or three people from each household, or a combination of adults and children, so that the income of each family is not less than 50 yuan a day, and it is more than one or two a month.
The mountain side is inevitably dangerous, these villagers are mostly walking together and do not dare to be alone, so every morning, the villagers who have prepared dry food run to the mountain, very early a few days so that the villagers along the road are frightened, and think that something big has happened.
It wasn't until several days passed, the villagers along the road were not uncommon, there were clever and determined to find Liu and others to talk, but they couldn't inquire about anything, and then or accidentally saw the back basket sack filled with flowers, only to know that flowers can still be sold for money, and for a while also moved to go into the mountains to pick flowers to sell.
After Liu understood, he quickly persuaded the people. Now the only people who build the flower sauce are Guo Mianmian and Guo Zhi sisters, who are busy until midnight every day after collecting the returned flowers.
Today, Zheng Rin also brought Zheng Chang here, and Guo Mianmian took the time to go home to greet the guests, otherwise she would even have a few mouthfuls of food in the workshop.
is so busy, Guo Mianmian has to take a day to go into the mountains, not because she is tired and wants to rest, but because she wants to go into the mountains to try to see if she can find the rest of the edible flowers, and when the distant flower garden expands, she can also plant them, and she is very nervous that she wants to find some valuable herbs and sell them for silver.
God knows that four or five hundred catties of flowers pour into the workshop every day, and the new flower sauce is not pickled, can it be taken to the heart of the house to exchange for silver, the silver at home will be hollowed out, she no longer wants to make some money, let alone collect flowers and buy sugar to make flower sauce, even the jar containing flower sauce can not be customized.
From the porcelain kiln to customize the "Guo's" picture seal of the jar, the price of each is more expensive than the general jar two Wen, which is the result of a large number of workshops to give a special price, otherwise it will only be more expensive.
Although this has increased the old capital of flower sauce, it is a quantity, trying to make the business of "Guo's" flower sauce go to Fucheng. Once the market is opened, not to mention the old capital of the new five yuan per catty of flower sauce, it will be a lot of money that can be made by increasing the twenty Wen Guo family.
At present, what is very embarrassing for Guo Mianmian is that the cost is insufficient, she must find a way to earn silver, and the silver earned can support ten days and half a month, and the newly made flower sauce will be sold out and there will be a return of silver, so she doesn't have to worry about the silver anymore.
The lack of silver, Guo Mianmian didn't say anything about it, and Zheng Rin naturally didn't know about it. I heard that my fiancée wanted to go around the mountains, and Zheng Rin was full of hope that she could only be with her, so she agreed without thinking about it.
Or Zheng Chang looked at it, suggesting that the two of them were dangerous in the mountains, and Zheng Rin hesitated.
"Don't be afraid, I'll go around the side of the mountain to see if I can pick some mushrooms and mushrooms to return, you don't have to worry about the danger I will encounter." Guo Mianmian waved her hand again and again, with a smile on her face, but she figured out in her heart that it was impossible, so she quietly followed behind them, once there was danger, she could escape in real time, and strive not to drag them back.
Zheng Rin thought for a while and then had an idea, and said to Zheng Chang: "This time into the mountain, if the lord is the wolf eight and the bear cubs, they don't have the ability to defend themselves now, we won't go to those dangerous places, and it will be okay to take your sister-in-law with you." ”
Zheng Chang thought it was reasonable when he heard it, so he smiled and said to Guo Mianmian: "Then let's go, even if there is any danger, Brother Zheng's skills can protect you." ”
Hearing that the other party was joking at herself, Guo Mianmian lowered her head with pretended not to have good intentions, and silently rolled her eyes clearly. She is not a person who has never seen the "world", this kind of joke is all small intentions, but it just so happens that she has to pretend in front of people, and she is so tired!
The matter of entering the mountain was decided, and there were no people in the workshop, so Liu had to temporarily go to the top, and asked Aunt Mu Xi and Li Wen to count the flowers picked by the villagers.
Aunt Mu Xi has a good relationship with the Guo family, and she has always done things firmly, so she is relieved to leave this matter to her and the rest of the Guo family; Li Wen also took her mother-in-law and children to intervene in the flower picking, and asked her to give Aunt Mu Xi a special reward, which can be regarded as the Guo family's help to her.
The women who were invited to wash the flowers in the workshop did things under their noses, but no one had to look at them with great care, not to mention a few women or relatives of the black baby and the mountain baby.
These people have a good relationship with the Guo family, and now they have the intention of asking them to help, and they are at the mercy of a few people who act neatly, and they love this opportunity very much, and they are not lazy at all when they work.
, This is also related to the remuneration of the Guo family, like this kind of light work in the city, a lot of remuneration of only fifteen wen a day, the Guo family gave a high price of twenty wen, that is, the lunch meal is not included.
As for the women who can work at the door to earn money, it is also a high salary, so they are very caring, and after washing the flowers, they also automatically assist in the hands, which makes the Guo Mianmian and Guo Zhi sisters much easier.
The next day, the five men brought with them food, water, bows, arrows, ropes, and other things for hunting.
