Three years later, Songzizhuang is very lively, the soy sauce workshop has been standing here for more than two years, and there are hundreds of half-person-high vats in the large open space next to the threshing floor, which is the soy sauce inside.

The soy sauce tank wears a large bamboo woven hat, these hats are very thick, and a thick layer of oil paper is tied to the outside of the hat, which is used to keep out rain, frost and snow.

More than two years ago, Gu Jinan went to Fucheng and bought three more families to come back, there were fifteen people, surnamed Xiong, Ma, and Mei, and these three families specialized in making soy sauce.

However, Gu Jinli also transferred Xiangzi to Songzizhuang as a steward, specifically managing the three families.

Shoko is Xiao Ji's elder brother, auspicious and auspicious, just by looking at the name, you know that it is a family.

Xiangzi was born in the dart game, and he can punch and kick, and he has been pulled by Kan Liu to practice every day for the past three years, and he is thrown into Dafeng Mountain by Gu Jinli from time to time to fend for himself, he is already very capable, not to mention his loyalty to the Gu family, he can also watch these three families and keep the soy sauce recipe.

At this moment, Xiangzi was beckoning to the three families: "Heavy rain is coming, hurry up and follow me to the threshing floor to harvest grain!" ”

"It's coming!"

The three families rushed to the threshing floor with sacks, brooms, and large oiled paper.

But the heavy rain came too quickly, and after a few thunderstorms, the heavy rain came down.

Gu Jinli, Xiao Ji, and Mi Lao Weng were already in the threshing floor, and when they saw that the heavy rain was falling, they hurriedly shouted to Xiangzi and them: "Quickly sweep the millet together, cover it with oiled paper, press the stones, and hurry back to hide from the rain." ”

Xiangzi and they immediately did so, and after a dozen people took a broom to sweep the grain together, they immediately covered it with oiled paper and pressed it with stones.

But the threshing floor is too big, and there is too much grain for the autumn harvest, and it is impossible to sweep it all in a moment.

"Little boss, you go back to hide from the rain first." Xiao Ji said to Gu Jinli, the broom in his hand did not stop, after sweeping the rice coarsely and coarsely into a pile, he and Gu Jinli stretched out the big oil paper, covered the pile of grain that was swept into all directions, and then pressed the stones.

Gu Jinli said: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and cover the rice, otherwise it will be dried in vain, and when it sprouts, the grain will be completely destroyed." ”

Although she escaped the famine, she has been nourishing her body in the past few years, and she thinks that her body is very resistant, just an autumn rain, and it's fine.

Xiao Ji knew the temper of Xiao Dong's family, and seeing that she was unwilling to go back, he could only continue to sweep the rice and compete with the heavy rain for time.

Mi Laozi and Mi Laoweng did not go back to hide from the rain, the bodies of these two old men are very tough, they have not seen their old age in the past three years, but they have been a lot more energetic.

The big guy worked for more than a quarter of an hour, and finally covered all the rice, but half of it was wet.

"Let's go quickly, and wait for the rain to stop before drying the rice." Gu Jinli shouted at them, and ran to the courtyard where the master lived with Xiao Ji.

The Zhuangzi is big, the yard is a little far away, and the two of them ran wildly for half an hour to arrive.

Gu Jinli suddenly wanted to scold his mother, it's not good if the place is big, and he will run to death.

Mi Lao Weng and his wife live relatively close, and they will arrive after running for a while, and Mrs. Mi also shouted at Gu Jinli: "Don't worry about us, don't worry about us, run quickly, change your wet clothes when you go back to the house, don't catch a cold!" ”

"Got it!" Gu Jinli responded, continued to run wildly, the muddy water stained his shoes, and finally ran to the main courtyard, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thief God, it rains so heavily in autumn, are you embarrassed?" ”

It's not summer again.

Xiao Ji said: "Little owner, you can't say that, God, he won't bless you when he hears it." ”

hurriedly folded his hands again and apologized to God for Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli: "......"

Miss Ji, you like to say goodbye so much at a young age, is it really good?

"After worshipping, come in and change clothes." Gu Jinli immediately took off his dirty shoes and entered the wing room on the right side of the main courtyard barefoot.

Sometimes Zhuangzi was too busy with work and needed to stay overnight, so she lived in this right wing.

The Zou family is very entrenched, and a wing room has been made into an outer room, an inner room, and a lower room, so she and Xiao Ji live here very spacious.

Gu Jinli went back to the inner room, hurriedly changed out of wet clothes, and put on clean clothes, but it was more difficult to get his hair.

The ancients were not allowed to cut her hair, she wanted to cut it secretly, but when Cui Shi saw it, she cried, and she could only keep her long hair. Now it takes two quarters of an hour to untie it down and dry it.

And then......

Ahh

She sneezed twice at the right time.

"Are you okay, little boss?" Xiao Ji came over with a dry cotton towel to wipe her hair: "Xiao Dong also said that he was in great health, see it, you sneezed and the slave didn't fight." ”

Don't brag about it next time.

Gu Jinli said: "My aunt is coming soon, her body's resistance has deteriorated, and it is normal to sneeze in the rain." ”

Since Gu Jinli came to menstrual last year, Xiao Ji already knew what the eldest aunt was, and also knew a little rule of Gu Jinli, and asked, "Does the little owner want to take medicine?" ”

It's about medicine for wind and cold.

Gu Jinli shook his head: "Don't eat it, it's not good to eat, drink a ginger tea." ”

"Okay, I'll boil it for you later."

Gu Jinli: "Remember to put sugar, if you don't put sugar, you can't drink it." ”

Xiao Ji is very picky, boiling ginger tea without sugar, and she has to explain it every time before putting it.

"I know, the little proprietor is squeamish, and Brother Cheng doesn't put sugar in ginger tea."

Gu Jinli was unconvinced, and retorted: "He was told by the eldest brother that men don't like sweets, so he didn't let it go, but he used to put it hard." ”

He said: "Also, he was cheated by the eldest brother again, and the eldest brother's favorite dish is Gu Yu pork, which is sweet and sour." ”

Xiao Ji laughed when he heard it: "The slave maid listened to Brother An'er say to Brother Cheng, sweet and sour is not sweet. ”

Brother Cheng listened to Brother An very much, and then happily believed in his eldest brother.

No, Brother Cheng is very smart, and he knows that his eldest brother's statement is cheating people, but he trusts Brother An and feels that what Brother An said is right, so he did not expose his eldest brother.

After the tea, Xiao Ji finally dried Gu Jinli's hair: "The slave maid goes to boil water, and the little owner will be able to take a bath and wash his hair in a while." ”

Xiao Ji went to the kitchen next to the main courtyard, this kitchen is the main family, there is a well, and it is very convenient to use water.

Gu Jinli looked at the account book in the house, counting how much money he had earned this month, the more he looked at it, the happier he became, his mood was so comfortable, and the days of being rich were good.

But it is not enough, this silver will continue to be used to buy Zhuangzi and bury silver.

Since Gu Jinli escaped from the famine, he didn't have much hope for Da Chu, feeling that it would end sooner or later. Therefore, in the past three years, Mu Tong and Feng Jin have run in the four directions of the southeast, northwest and northwest several times, and used the silver they earned to buy some Zhuangzi along the way, and then buried the silver in the Zhuangzi in case of emergency.

The Zhuangzi she bought can be small, but it must be close to the official road, and there must be near the official road in the southeast and northwest, so the investment is very large.

"Little boss, the water is boiled, you drink the ginger tea first, and then go to the bath after drinking." Xiao Ji brought the ginger tea in and handed it to Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli blew it, and when it was cooler, he drank it in a big gulp, and walked along the verandah to a room behind the courtyard.

It's a big place for bathing, and it's very clean.

Xiao Ji brought in the hot water, poured it into the big wooden basin, and asked, "Little boss, are we going back tomorrow afternoon?" ”

Gu Jinli nodded: "Well, Little Brother Qin will go home tomorrow, and he will come to pick me up when he passes by Songzizhuang." ”
