"Going to school?" Bai Si's face showed the same expression as Hua's, "What's the use?" Can reading be used as food, can you ask how many people in this Huangyan Village are willing to go to school? ”

The level of uncle and aunt ridiculing their relatives is absolutely first-class, and sure enough, things gather people in groups, Bai Jin was not annoyed at all when he heard it: "How does uncle know that reading is useless?" Could it be that my uncle went to school? ”

"This ......"

Bai Si froze, and Bai Jin continued unceremoniously: "What's the use of reading? The subset of natural knowledge and history seeks fame, and may one day be able to get out of this Huangyan Village. ”

"Could it be that Bai Shan can still become a big official in the future?" Hua smiled.

Bai Jin glanced at her: "You don't believe it? It's better to make a bet, bet on whether Baishan can seek fame, if I win the aunt, it is better to give our family ten taels of silver. ”

Although it is unlikely, Hua wants to gamble, but Bai Jin's momentum is too strong, Hua Jin's heart is actually a little empty, Bai Jin sneered in his heart, if it weren't for her uncle's family forcing each other everywhere, otherwise she wouldn't have to talk about it.

Bai Shan's heart moved slightly.

Bai Si's face sank, but he wasn't very angry, he sat down and said, "You mean that Bai Shan is going to the academy in a few years?" ”

Bai Jin nodded, and Bai Si continued: "Isn't the salt mill where the second brother stayed no one to take care of?" ”

The salt mill left behind by Bering?

Bai Jin was a little dazed, she turned her head to look at Bai Shan.

Bai Shan whispered beside her: "Our family has a small workshop for making salt, and since my father was tired, he dismissed everyone. ”

What is Jingnan? Bai Jin had only seen it in the book, in the westernmost part of the Chu State, deep inland, was the fief of the Marquis of Jingnan, and there was a huge salt lake.

Could it be that the salt lake can produce salt? Bai Jin remembered in a trance that when she was still in Hailing, she heard Yun Heliang say that the Yun family's salt had a hidden danger after it became tribute salt in the capital, and it was very likely that this hidden danger came from Jingnan.

This is also the reason why Yun Heliang will marry the lord of Guangping, and he wants to consolidate his position in the capital.

Bai Jin wanted to stop dealing with salt, but as soon as she heard about Yanfang, she still threw this idea out of the clouds for the time being. For her now, selling salt to make money is the easiest way, not to mention the salt mill left in Baishan, she is just doing it all over again!

Bai Jin couldn't help but interject: "Uncle came over today because of the idea of the salt mill?" ”

Bai Si ignored her and said to Luo's, "The salt mill has been abandoned for many days, and since the second brother is gone, I can take care of it for him." ”

Bai Jin set his eyes on Luo's.

Luo Shi naturally understood Bai Jin's meaning, this workshop can be given out for no reason, even if it is sold for money, she can get a lot of silver, she slowly shook her head and said: "I'm afraid this will not work." ”

"Why can't that?" Bai Si asked, "Now that the salt mill is empty, I may be able to earn some silver if I take care of it, and I will definitely not treat my younger siblings badly at that time." ”

Rock's stopped talking.

"How much money can my uncle give to our family?" Bai Jin interjected in a low voice on the side.

"Jin girl, it's not your turn to speak about this salt mill, right?" Bai Si glanced at her, and his voice was an octave higher.

Bai Si said that she was her elder no matter what, Bai Jin decisively closed her mouth, she asked this just deliberately forcing Bai Si to change the topic, and directly made it clear that Bai Si would not give them much if he made money, and he might kick them away.

When Bai Ling took care of the salt mill by himself, he couldn't open the pot at home, and there were not many of them when they were occupied by Bai Si

Bai Si only came under the guise of borrowing silver, but in fact he wanted to occupy the salt mill left by Bering.

"Could it be that my younger brother and sister still care about the separation of the family more than ten years ago, when I subsidized the second brother to count two taels of silver," Bai Si's tone was a little anxious, "That matter has nothing to do with me." ”

"And if I take care of it, maybe this salt mill will be better than when the second brother can manage it, and your family won't have to drink gruel every day."

"You'd better go back." Roche picked up the needlework in his hand.

Seeing that Luo's oil and salt didn't enter, and Bai Si couldn't grab it directly, he exhaled and said, "Okay, then you can keep this empty salt mill and grow grass!" Walk! ”

Looking at the angry appearance of the two, Luo's face was a little ugly, and Bai Shan said: "Mother, they have already left, why are you still bitter." ”

Luo said: "With your uncle's temperament, do you think he can give up the salt mill?" ”

Indeed, Bai Jin also knew that he would not give up when he looked at Bai Si.

"I'm thinking now that I might as well give it to him," said Rock, "and save my heart, now God knows what your uncle will do." ”

Bai Jin comforted her: "What my mother just said is right, this salt mill was originally left by my father, there is no reason to let the uncle occupy it, and the uncle should not do anything if the uncle is uncle." ”

Luo pursed her lips, and Bai Jin read the words "I hope so" from her face.

Putting this aside for the time being, Luo brought out breakfast from the back of the kitchen, three bowls of white porridge and a few plates of pickles, smelling the overflowing fragrance of rice, Bai Jin was a little hungry.

Luo Shi beckoned her to eat at the table, Bai Jin took the chopsticks and picked up the bowl, but his eyes swept over Luo and Bai Shan's bowls.

Her bowl of porridge seemed to be a little different, her own bowl of porridge was sticky, and Bai Shan took chopsticks and fished around his bowl twice, only to see a handful of rice grains rising and falling.

Luo knew that she had just woken up and was not in good health, and he was afraid that she would not be able to eat enough, so he gave her some extra rice.

It seems that the life of the Bai family is really not very good, Bai Jin is a little worried, how long can the Bai family support it according to this situation?

Bai Shan saw her gaze and thought that she wanted to ridicule herself, but she didn't expect Bai Jin to reach out and change the position of the bowls of the two.

Luo's was also slightly startled, Bai Jin was already expressionless with chopsticks to pick up the pickles in front of him.

She is not so generous, but Bai Shan is currently growing taller, and she will have to do farm work in a while, so she has no strength to eat this little thing, and she is now in the name of recuperation, and she doesn't need to do anything to stay in the house, and she is more hungry.

I have a little more rice in my bowl, but how much more, I only ate so little for breakfast, and I guess I was hungry before I got lunch.

Now the family mainly relies on Baishan.

Bai Shan looked at his sister who usually didn't say a word to him, and couldn't help but hand her his bowl of porridge, he suddenly saw a ghost, something that had not happened to him for so many years.

After thinking about it, Bai Shan slapped the table and said, "Don't you want the ten taels of silver, now that your father has passed away, do you still want to marry?" ”

Bai Jin frowned, it seemed that something was about to happen that he didn't know about.

Just as she was about to ask, Luo's had already stopped Bai Shan and said, "Forget it, let's talk about these things, if Jin'er and the son of the Liu family are interested, then let's tie it up." ”

The son of the Liu family, Bai Jin couldn't laugh or cry, what was her younger brother thinking, she was just changing a bowl of porridge but causing a conversation.

Bai Shan's resentment towards her is mostly here.

Bai Shan was obviously a little unconvinced: "If she wasn't bent on getting married, how could her father be tired in the workshop......"

"Mountain!" Luo's face has been straightened, "Who is to blame for this matter?" Don't mention it again. ”

After all, Bai Shan is young, and the young man's temper can't be stopped, he doesn't drink the porridge, and he slapped the chopsticks on the table and said, "I'm full, I'll do things first." ”

After that, he went to the closet and took a coarse grain steamed bun made yesterday, and then took the sickle leaning against the door and went out.

Luo Shi looked at Bai Jin's thoughtful face and sighed, "Don't take your brother's words to heart, your father...... He went too suddenly, and his body itself has not been good all these years. ”

Bai Jin nodded, she didn't know about it, and Bai Jin vaguely saw a trace of Bai Liuyun's shadow on Bai Shan's body, she smiled slightly: "Mother, I won't take this matter to heart, and...... The mountains are also good for me. ”

Luo was stunned for a moment, and his eyes reddened: "It's good that you can understand." ”

Bai Jin smiled, drank the porridge in the bowl, and helped Luo Shi clean up the table by the way.

At noon, Bai Jin had lunch with Luo's at home, saying that it was lunch was actually similar to Bai Shan's meal, that is, a coarse grain steamed bun, a stack of pickles and a small plate of green vegetables, which was not delicious, but the bowl of gruel in the morning was not hungry, and Bai Jin ate this boiling water and gobbled it up.

But she was hungry at home, and Bai Shan didn't know what it was like to be hungry when she worked in the mountains.

In the afternoon, she asked Luo's where Baishan was, so she took a steamed bun from the closet and wrapped it in a handkerchief, and found a bowl with a lid for him to put the rest of the gruel in the morning, now the weather is not very hot, and the food is not so fast, she is going to send him over, and take a look at this Huangyan Village by the way.

Bai Jin walked up the mountain and saw the appearance of the whole Huangyan Village, the village is not big but not small, the east and south sides are high mountains, and the west side is the lake, from here you can see the sparkling lake and a large and small workshop.

However, she didn't see the salt pans, and if she remembered correctly, Hailing's workshops were different from those here, and the workshops were often in front of them with endless salt pans.

Although it was strange in my heart, I didn't think much about it, maybe the way salt is made here is different. She continued to walk up the mountain with steamed buns, Baishan was not far away, and it didn't take long for Bai Jin to see Baishan leaning against a big tree and closing his eyes to rest.

The April sun has a hint of warmth, and I saw that the young man under the tree was crossing Erlang's legs, covering his face with a huge straw hat and closing his eyes to recuperate, the picture was still very beautiful, of course, if she hadn't heard a cry from Bai Shan's belly.

couldn't help laughing, Bai Shan opened his eyes and saw Bai Jin standing in front of him with a smile on his face.

"When did you come?" Bai Shan was so frightened by her that he jumped up directly from the ground.
