Chapter 10: There is a treasure in the house
After taking a cold shower, Lu Yujin's heart became clearer and clearer. He felt that there were some changes in Tang Wanwan's body today, but he couldn't say what the specific changes were, in short, he felt that he still liked her such changes.
It seems to have become more agile, and I love to tell jokes.
Will lie.
The way he laughs, it's pretty good.
Tomorrow, if I think of other ways to get closer to her, maybe she will not be so reluctant to help herself. Thinking like this, he slowly fell asleep.
In the third room of the Tang family, except for the twin siblings Tang Xiaoyi and Tang Xiaorou, everyone had their own thoughts, and no one slept well.
Tang Wanwan also wanted to sleep, but this hard bed was so hard that her bones were about to fall apart, and she had no choice but to sleep sideways next to the bed for a while.
Although she has crossed over, she still hasn't changed her bad habits of life, and it seems that it will take some time to adapt to the conditions here.
However, her principle of doing things has always been uncompromising, and it is not difficult for her to transform a bed. The hard part was where she could find something like Simmons mattresses and those spring wires.
And with the current conditions of her family, there is no way to improve the living environment. Come on, let's find something soft to cushion first, get through the life crisis for a while, and then think about the "Simmons bed" after life improves.
The next day, Tang Wanwan got up early in the morning and didn't see Mrs. Chen. After shouting twice, no one answered, and she didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of waking up the few sleeping people in the house.
There was a slight smoke on the stove, there was half a pot of hot water in the pot, a bowl of paste on the table, and a few leftover potatoes from last night were still warm, which should have been steamed again, and they were eaten for breakfast.
She rinsed her mouth with salt water indiscriminately, even if she had finished cleaning her teeth. Didn't the book say that the ancient people used green salt or willow branches to clean their teeth, is it all a trick to deceive people? The memory of the original owner, the people here, do not bother to clean their teeth. At most, rinse your mouth with water. Ordinary people, where are they willing to use salt to clean their teeth, use it once, and eat it at home for several days. The salt is wasted in vain, but it will be thundered by the sky.
In ancient times, salt was controlled by the government, and it was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty that the salt, iron, and textile industries began to be slowly opened to some private contractors and processors. And the Great Xia Kingdom was extremely strict in its control of salt. There was once a collusion between a big businessman and the government to secretly buy salt and iron, causing prices to skyrocket, and many ordinary people were starved to death because they could not eat salt. Therefore, after the new emperor ascended the throne, it was clearly stipulated that if anyone dared to sell salt without permission, if the circumstances were serious, the entire family would be punished jointly.
Tang Jianfei also relied on salt to eat, pulling the car to escort salt and iron for the government, and relying on strength to eat. However, this work, not to mention tiredness, there are still certain risks. This also laid a hidden danger for him to have an accident later.
There are also people who escort the car, in order to save some salt money, take off their clothes and pants, and soak them in the salt pond when no one is paying attention, and wait for the clothes to dry. Put it on when you leave, and when you come back, you put your clothes in the pot and boil them, and then take out the salt in them and use them.
Tang Jianfei relied on his relationship to buy some uncivilized salt cubes and come back, keep some for himself, and then hand them over to the clan.
There is a large salt pond in Tangjia Village, and there are hundreds of adults and children in the clan, and a lot of salt is used up every day. If these salts are not normalized, they cannot be eaten at all. Some people, even because they ate salt and brine, were poisoned, and their legs were directly braided. But they are only rough processing, and if they want to eat fine salt, they have to pay a high price, and most people can't afford it.
After Tang Jianfei's accident, it became a problem for the people of Tangjia Village to eat salt, so they found a new young descendant of the clan to replace Tang Jianfei's place. But I don't want this person, I can't endure that hardship, I fish for three days and dry the net for two days, let alone expect him to bring back cheap salt. If people in Tangjia Village want to eat salt, they can only buy official salt through normal channels. As a result, the price of this salt, in terms of cost, suddenly rose from a few cents to a dozen cents.
Hey, this salt problem is really a big problem.
People are iron, rice is rigid, and if you don't eat salt for a meal, you have no strength. But eating this kind of salt that is not completely filtered for a long time will cause trouble.
When Tang Wanwan thought about it, she thought that she saw the Wang family and Mrs. Zhang today, and their faces were a little purple.
Chen Niangzi and the people in her family estimated that they ate less salt on weekdays, and the poisoning situation was not very profound.
We have to find a way to solve the problem of salt, otherwise something will definitely happen after a long time.
This is not a family, I don't know how precious firewood, rice, oil and salt are, Tang Wanwan now knows that a person who is the master of the house at home, if he wants to maintain the life of the family, how many things need to be done, and how much heart he has to deal with.
Tang Wanwan originally thought that she would go up the mountain later, but now looking at the situation, she can't delay at all. But the mother hasn't come back yet, so she has to prepare some things to go up the mountain and say hello to her.
When packing up her things, Tang Wanwan found a lot of very delicate utensils at home, such as homemade bows and arrows, and scimitars for chopping wood. There was also a basket that had fallen a lot of dust in the corner. In the eyes of outsiders, this basket is very ordinary, but in Tang Wanwan's eyes, it becomes different. Because she had seen a basket like this in the atlas of Luban Old Ancestor's artifacts. It's just that the back basket is not so complicated, it is relatively simple.
There must be some story to this basket.
In such a small mountain village, in a small earthen house where the house is about to fall down, seeing such a thing makes Tang Wanwan feel that the encounters in life are not too strange.
Could it be that God arranged for me to come here? It's a pity that the original owner's father passed away, otherwise she would have been able to ask something.
With a little hope, Tang Wanwan took out the back basket again, took a towel and dipped it in water, and wiped it again to see if it could be repaired. Luckily, after her scrubbing, the basket glowed a dark red. The material of this bamboo is also very special, it must have been soaked in some kind of potion. Not only is it as tough as iron, but when you tap it lightly with your hand, there is even a metallic sound.
I want this baby, and I'll be Tang Wanwan in the future.
In less than a while, Tang Wanwan had already been armed, and she had all the tools and self-defense tools needed to climb the mountain. She found that the scimitar and bow and arrow left by Don Dad were good, and she shot an arrow at the big tree outside and missed, but she was very happy in her heart. This arrow target is eighty stones, to say the least. She used to be able to afford only thirty stones, and at that time she was still complacent in the envious eyes of others. Seeing this powerful self-made bow and arrow, Tang Wanwan was completely convinced.
Fortunately, the small hand crossbow she made herself quickly took shape, hidden in the sleeve of her coat, and in case of danger, it could directly hurt people. Originally, she needed to install a spring machine, but she changed it to a manual one, as long as she pressed the trigger device below with her hand, a few bamboo arrows hidden in the crossbow could be fired immediately.
When she has the opportunity in the future, she will turn the bamboo arrow into an iron arrow, which is called powerful.
