Chapter 057: Sick
Tang Shiyue settled down here, and Fourth Uncle Tang helped her repair the latrine, and then the patriarch's family and Fourth Uncle Tang's family, Second Uncle Tang's family in the blacksmith shop, and even the second grandfather Tang Dahuai's family, and some familiar villagers all sent her some things, a handful of vegetables, a bundle of firewood, pots and pans, and a lot of bits and pieces.
The most surprising thing for Tang Shiyue was that Zhen'er Niang actually sent two big eggplants, but there were still no good words on her lips, and said: "Having a mother is equal to not having a mother, you have a snack on everything, don't be stupid!" ”
Tang Shiyue smiled: "Thank you, I know you are always kind." ”
Zhen'er Niang pouted: "Who is kind!" I'm just handy! He turned around and walked away.
After the house was cleaned up, Tang Shiyue found a carpenter in the village, and first made four of the most urgently needed beds, all of which were wood saved by the villagers who bought them nearby, and they only cost less than two taels of silver.
The rest, I can only talk about it slowly.
Everyone knows the situation of her family, and no one is shouting to come over to drink the warm house wine, and after getting busy, it is also the day of Tang Shirong's rest, but Tang Shirong did not come back, Tang Shiyue ran to ask Tang Junchen, Tang Junchen said helplessly: "Ah Rong took over a book copying job in the bookstore, and he was in a hurry, saying that he would finish copying these books in a hurry, and he would come back next time." ”
Tang Shiyue was disappointed: "Didn't I give him silver?" How do you still copy books? Isn't it enough? ”
Tang Junchen coughed and said: "That's enough, Ah Rong is a little stubborn, and you don't know it." ”
"Okay then," Tang Shiyue had to say, "I still want him to see the newly moved house." ”
She was really disappointed, and she didn't pay attention to Tang Junchen's expression. Tang Junchen sent her out, and his brows furrowed tightly.
Tang Shijin helped Tang Shirong hand over the bundle, Tang Shirong was unwilling to accept favors, one was thinking about returning his silver, and the other was thinking about making up the bundle for the next month, for a few days, copying books until the fourth watch, but he caught a cold, and he had no money to ask the doctor to catch the medicine, he was afraid to come back and make Tang Shiyue see that he was worried, so he forced him to agree not to tell Tang Shiyue......
Tang Junchen also wanted to come back and have a look, if it was suitable, he secretly suggested that Tang Shiyue go to see him, but after he came back, he heard that his grandmother had driven them away from the old house, although there was also a new house to live in, but the silver was ...... It's definitely not going to be a good deal.
The more Tang Junchen thought about it, the more worried he became, and he made up his mind to go back to the school early tomorrow morning, looking at Tang Shirong, it was better if his illness was getting worse.
There have been too many things in the small wine shop these days, and Mrs. Zhou, who has always been careful, did not find her son's abnormality.
After Uncle Tang finished brewing wine, he has been running around all over the country, trying to find the next fruit that can be soaked in wine. The next day, he came back in a hurry and told her that there was a bayberry tree in Qiushui Village, not far from here, and he went to see it, and it was just right.
Tang Shiyue was overjoyed.
It's not about whether it's good or not, bayberry wine looks good! The color of bayberry medicinal wine is very strong and red, slightly lighter than wine, and it looks very good.
A few people discussed it and prepared to go and see it together.
So he sent Tang Junchen to the school early in the morning, and then a few people went to Qiushui Village.
The plum grove was on the hill at the edge of the village, and it was said that it was planted by a man surnamed Li, and there were thirty or forty trees, half of which were already red, and his family would carry the burden to sell it every morning.
Tang Shiyue said: "How much should we brew first?" If you brew 1,000 catties of wine, you have to order about 300 catties of bayberry with him first. ”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she scared Zhou Niangzi: "A thousand catties? ”
"Right?" Tang Shiyue said: "A thousand catties is not much, I inquired last time I went to the town, an ordinary small wine shop can sell 180 catties of wine a day!" I don't think 3,000 catties or 5,000 catties is much. ”
She said as she glanced at the two of them: "I haven't asked you yet, how much did you brew this time?" ”
Fourth Uncle Tang hesitated and said, "Just, as much as our guys brew, there is a ...... Four hundred pounds. ”
Tang Shiyue frowned helplessly, and wanted to speak, but Qi Jing stopped her: "Ah Yue, don't worry, you have to let people see the results first, and then your courage will gradually increase, and the silver can be turned." ”
Okay, Tang Shiyue stopped talking, Zhou Niangzi said: "We can't become a fat man in one bite, besides, winemaking also requires food, and there must be some capital." ”
Fourth Uncle Tang said: "Their bayberry is also sold day by day, you don't need to tell them in advance, there will be it then, and even if there is no bayberry, there are also fruits on the side, there are loquat in the nearby village, and there will be Chang Chu in two months......"
Chang Chu, that is, kiwi fruit, also called yang peach, there are quite a lot of plants here, which is also a fruit that is very suitable for soaking in wine.
The Dayan Dynasty is very rich, the year is good, the wind and rain are smooth, the grain is abundant, the cupbearer is very relaxed, in addition to the official "forbidden group drinking", no wine, that is to say, the court does not monopolize all or part, the wine tax is not high, it is really the spring of the winemaking industry.
Tang Shiyue nodded and said with a smile: "Then don't blame me for not saying it in advance, I said that three thousand five thousand is not much." ”
Seeing her smile, Fourth Uncle Tang and Mrs. Zhou were relieved, and even they couldn't understand why they were so convinced of this little lady, and they were a little flustered when they saw her frowning.
Fourth Uncle Tang said: "Let's come steadily, and we don't have so much capital." ”
Qi Jing said lightly: "I have the silver." ”
"Wait," Fourth Uncle Tang said with a smile: "Wait for the new wheat, and you can also brew some ale wine." ”
Tang Shiyue said: "Then buy some bayberry first, and then buy some medicinal materials when I go to the town, and I'll try the next recipe first." ”
This is a serious matter, Uncle Tang went down to discuss with someone, bought a basket of bayberry, and then drove the mule to the town, bought medicinal materials, Tang Shiyue bought some other things, thinking that Xiu Mu Tang Shirong did not go home, do you want to go to the academy to see him, Zhou Niangzi smiled: "There is something very good-looking, they study, let's not go to the disdain if we have nothing to do." ”
Fourth Uncle Tang also said: "Take advantage of the morning today, let's go to Xiaoyue Tangzi to touch a fish to eat." ”
Everyone hit it off and drove away with the mule cart.
At the same time as their mule cart left the town, Tang Junchen was anxiously discussing with the Zhaifu at the door: "My classmate is sick, the heat is terrible, I will go out and ask a doctor to come over." ”
"No," the gatekeeper said with a cold attitude: "The school does not allow idle people to enter, and if you want to go out, you must also take care of it." ”
Tang Junchen said that he ran back and forth several times before he was finally able to go out, and grabbed a pill and came in, but the medicine was poured and waited until midnight, the heat still did not fade, Tang Junchen said urgently: "If tomorrow is not good, I have to find someone to carry the letter back." ”
Tang Shirong smiled bitterly: "Yueyue is still young, my aunt...... It's that kind of character again, what's the use of you carrying the letter back? He stood up and took two sips of water: "I just got a little cold, just cover it for one night, you go back and rest quickly, don't worry about me." ”
Tang Junchen had no choice but to ask his roommate again and again, and then he came out, empty and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
The small wine shop was also prosperous in the past, but in the past two years, it has become worse and worse day by day, he sees it in his eyes, although he doesn't say much, but he never asks his father and mother for more money, and he is also extremely strapped for money.
Just hope for ...... I just hope that Tang Shirong will get better tomorrow!
