Chapter 40 The Yamen Recruitment
Dinner was a big pot of pork stewed vermicelli, fragrant and fragrant, and the girls and boys of the Li family rubbed their bellies one by one and hummed.
After eating, the Mo Yi boy fell asleep on the bamboo bed, although at dinner, he said that his prison life was as colorful as a novel, but at the bottom was a half-grown boy, who had been torn apart in it for these days, and he was scared enough, where could he support it anymore at this time, and he fell asleep.
Sister Li Yue asked Mo Feng to take Yue Bao'er into the house to rest, and she went to the kitchen and carried a bucket of soaked beans, but when she rolled up her sleeves, there were a few bruises on her little arm.
"Eldest sister, what's going on?" Yuejiao was looking down to pick up the blind beans floating on the bucket, and happened to see those few bruises, so she stared at her eyes and called, Yuejiao was sorting out the tofu mold on the side, and when she heard Yue's call, she also rushed over, and when she saw the bruises on Li Yue's little arm, she also jumped to her feet: "Sister, who are you calling to beat?" ”
"Shhhh Sister Li Yue hurriedly sighed, then whispered about the previous things in the East House, and finally said: "A little bruised, your eldest sister is used to doing rough work and is afraid of this, Jin Feng and Rong Yan on the East House side didn't get any benefits, I pinched them harder." Sister Li Yue said, this is not false, when she fights, she thinks of her previous life, how can she not hate it more, so naturally she will start hard.
"Oh, that's good, I'll rub the blood for the eldest sister in a while." Yue'e said slowly.
"Okay." Sister Li Yue nodded.
"No, I'm going to scold and get angry." Yuejiao is a master who doesn't suffer a little loss, and she wants to stand up for her eldest sister at this time. As he spoke, he was about to rush out.
Sister Li Yue grabbed her angrily: "This midnight three watches, who are you scolding, people are still howling ghosts, besides, at this time, Jin Feng is not allowed to go back to Zhou's house, save some effort." ”
"No, Jin Feng didn't go back to Zhou's house, when I closed the door just now, I heard her talking with her second aunt in the courtyard." Yuejiao said, and then ran out in a puff of smoke.
Sister Li Yue was stunned for a moment, didn't go back? How is this possible? Didn't Jin Feng want to go back to Zhou's house? After all, Li Jinfeng is still the new daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, they are all in the same town, and it is not a big deal to go home during the day, but if you don't go back this night, the Zhou family will not be particular about it.
However, this is none of her business, it's just that Yuejiao has been out for a while, why hasn't there been a sound, Sister Li Yue was strange, so she walked out of the house, and saw that under the moonlight, Yuejiaoer was hiding behind the door with her waist bent, and put one side of her ear on the door, and when she saw Sister Li Yue coming out, she came in and beckoned to her. Motioned for Sister Li Yue to come over.
It's weird, what the hell is this girl? Sister Li Yue came over quietly, and when she arrived at the door, she heard a murmuring sound outside the door, which was depressed, so she also put her ear to the door and listened.
"Daddy, Auntie, what are you doing?" It was Li Jinfeng's voice.
"What are you doing, you are married now, how can you still have your previous temper, tonight, you have to go back to Zhou's house, I will send you back." It was the second uncle who spoke.
"Dad, mother, you don't know, today Zhou Dongyuan actually told me to get out, if I go back like this, I won't be able to raise my head in the Zhou family in the future, I won't go back now, I will go back when the Zhou family comes to pick me up." Li Jinfeng's voice was inexplicably firm.
Hearing this, Sister Li Yue understood, no wonder Jin Feng was so angry today, I didn't expect Zhou Dongyuan to say such bastard words, but Zhou Dongyuan is a bastard.
"What if the family doesn't come for a week?" Fang Clan shouted softly.
"It will definitely come, as long as the Zhou family wants to be famous, it will definitely come." Li Jinfeng said. Turned around and went back to the house.
"Alas, you girl is really the wrongs of your previous life, let it be." Fang sighed, and then the sound of Li Er and his wife returning to the house, and finally the door slammed shut.
Then came the quiet night, and the evening breeze blew the willows.
"Eldest sister, you say, why is Sister Jin Feng so sure that the Zhou family will definitely come to pick her up, I think it's hard to say that someone like the Zhou family is there." Yue Jiao'er snorted.
"What's the rumor in town lately?" Sister Li Yue raised her eyebrows and asked Yuejiao.
"Recently, except for Lord Qincha coming to town, there are no rumors, well, by the way, if there are other rumors, then the old lady of the Zhou family seems to be in good health." Yuejiao said, this girl is the most gossip, and the rumors in the town are all in her stomach.
"That's it, who in the town doesn't know that the Zhou family married your sister Jin Feng for Chongxi, now the old lady of the Zhou family is very good, Jin Feng has returned to her parents' house instead, the Zhou family will not come to pick up, then the Zhou family will not have a reputation for crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and the Zhou family will be shameless in the town in the future, so Zhou Dongyuan will definitely come to pick it up tomorrow." Sister Li Yue said, even if Zhou Dongyuan is unwilling to come, Old Man Zhou will force him to come, although Sister Li Yue does not want to see Li Jinfeng, but I have to admit that Jin Feng's behavior this time is quite beautiful, and she has not lost the face of the Li family.
Speaking of which, Sister Li Yue also had to sigh, God is not bad for Jin Feng, she broke through like this, and she really broke out of the Zhou family, but it is difficult to say how far this road can go.
Nothing was said all night.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Zhou Dongyuan came to pick up Li Jinfeng.
In the next few days, the weather became hotter and hotter, and it was almost three dog days.
Early in the morning, they began to scream, the Li family sisters and brothers got up early as always, took turns pushing the stone mill, everyone was hot and sweaty, and then the program came down, and when the dawn came, the hot white jade tofu was baked.
The Li family's tofu shop opened.
Yuejiao greeted the aunt with her mouth, and flickered one by one to pay for it. Yue'e gave her a hand.
And Sister Li Yue and Mo Yi had to sit on the side to rest. Making tofu is the most tiring thing to grind beans. I had planned to buy a mule, but I didn't expect that after a prison disaster, the family's economy returned to before liberation overnight.
And the last time Grandpa gave a few taels of silver, Sister Li Yue didn't dare to move easily, the establishment of the river engineering institute is also a matter in front of us, this time because of the unexpected bribery case, the river engineering office did not fall into the Zhou family, but no matter who it falls on, if Mo Yi wants to have a good errand in it, gifts are indispensable, and the silver given by Grandpa is not enough. In short, there is still a lack of money, there is a tofu craft, and you can only live, and it is impossible to make as much money as you want.
Sister Li Yue couldn't help scratching her head worriedly.
"Eldest sister, we have a lot of bean dregs, I'll pick them up and sell them in a while." At this time, Mo Yi sorted out the bean dregs for a few days again, and there were several buckets.
"Why do you want to buy okara, our own pigs are good." Yue Jiao'er muttered, during the New Year, other people's families have pork rice to eat, but her family does not have it, this girl has always kept food in mind.
"That's right." Sister Li Yue heard Yuejiao say this, she couldn't help patting her head, she forgot about it in a daze, on the set, most of the people who buy bean dregs are taken home to feed the pigs, and they now have so many bean dregs, even if they sell it, they can't sell a few pennies, it is better to keep it at home, after this thing is fermented, and then with this wheat husk and pigweed, it is the best feed for pigs, raising two pigs a year to slaughter, that is not also a dozen taels of silver income.
This account is not small, and it cannot be counted.
"Yes, Yue Jiao'er is a good idea, our bean dregs are not sold, raise pigs by yourself, Mo Yi is at home today, first tidy up the pig pen in the backyard of the house, I will go to the market to buy two little piglets in a while, we have bean dregs, and then go to play some pigweed on weekdays, and raise pigs without wasting any books." Sister Li Yue said.
"Hmm." Mo Yi has always been what Sister Li Yue said, and it should be done at this time.
"Pork rice." Xiao Yue Bao'er drooled in response.
As a result, the matter of pig raising was unanimously approved by the Li family. However, at this time, if you want to eat your own pork, you will have to wait until the end of spring tomorrow at the earliest.
Thinking about going to the market to buy little piglets, Sister Li Yue took the tofu pick over again, and by the way, picked a pick of tofu to sell on the market, because Mo Yi came back, the labor force increased, and the fame of white jade tofu was also opened, plus there were more beans harvested during this time, Sister Li Yue soaked a little more last night, and made more tofu, put it here, I am afraid that it will not be sold out for a while, pick a part to sell it on the market faster, and there is a monster of Yuejiao at home.
"Eldest sister, leave it to me to sell tofu, the matter of the pig pen will be fine for a while." Murphy.
"No, you tidy up the pig pen, it's okay to take a look at the river work notes left by Daddy, you still remember what Jin Feng said when he came back last time, we are going to build a river engineering institute here, to widen the dry river canal, build a dam gate, and then we will recruit a lot of river workers, our family happens to have a quota for our father, there is this quota here, you yourself are a poor service, you don't need to be recruited, when the time comes, we will go to find the old man, you can read and hyphenate, and then eat Daddy's river work notes thoroughly, you can still be a scribe." Sister Li Yue advised.
From the news revealed by Jin Feng last time, Sister Li Yue knew that the establishment of the River Engineering Institute was just around the corner. She also had to prepare very early.
"Well, I listen to my eldest sister." Mo Yi responded, turned around and went to the backyard, tidying up the pig pen, this pig pen was built when Li Xianggong was alive, and was raised at first, but later, Li Xianggong was seriously ill, and the only half-sized pig in the family was sold, and the pig pen was empty after that.
Here Sister Li Yue told Yuejiao Yue'e to turn over, and then picked the tofu to pick the set, the Li family's white jade tofu is very good to sell, and after a while, it was sold out, Sister Li Yue took the stall, but I didn't see the pig seller after turning around, at this moment, several town guards knocked on the gong: "Yamen notice, Yamen notice, everyone come and see." ”
After that, one of the two watchmen held a paste bucket, one took a brush to brush the paste on the wall, and the other watchman pasted the notice.
The townspeople all gathered around, and Sister Li Yue also stepped forward, it was a notice to recruit river workers, and every household had one, and if there was no household, they had to pay the service silver, or spend money to take care of others to help top.
All of a sudden, the whole town was churning like a hot pot, and some people were in a hurry to go home and find a way, and no one wanted to do the drudgery of the river workers.
