"I heard that there is another big flood in the south."

"Ouch, isn't it, there have been three big floods at the beginning of spring today, and each time they say that they have been cured, and now it's summer, and the big water is still happening, and our side is okay, but the water has risen, and I heard that the water in the south has drowned many people."

"This is really God who wants to take our lives, Bodhisattva bless, fortunately our side is fine."

"Alas, I've heard that it's because this year, our university has been going down for five months in a row, and every day is a university, and there is too much snow piled up on the mountain, and when the snow melts, the snow water goes down the river to the south, which leads to a big flood in the south."

"Hey, what's the matter, anyway, these have nothing to do with our people, let's still plant our own land and live our own lives."

"Why don't you want to close, don't you know, the big flood in the south, drowning a lot of people, the key is that the grain in the field is submerged, the price of grain is getting higher and higher, I heard people in the city say, the imperial court is now harvesting grain at a high price, our harvest this year is not good, but the grain tax has increased, I see, if this flood is not well controlled, this winter, I am afraid it will be difficult."

…………

Under the big tree in the village, idle and bored people gathered together, talking about the recent events, Jiang Yuanyuan stepped on the water in the river to wash the mud on her feet, put on her shoes, picked up the basket on the side, and walked back slowly.

When I got home, I put all the mulberries I picked today in a basin full of water, found a small bench, sat on the edge of the basin and carefully picked out the mulberries inside, and used the broken ones to make jam, and the intact ones were selected to be dried in the sun, and the other part was pickled, and the selected ones were packed in three baskets, and I found a basket in the house, and the intact mulberries were spread on it, and this basket was purple, because the mulberries were dyed in the sun a few days ago, and I found a place on the courtyard wall to put the basket on the shelf. There are a few more baskets on the wall.

I took the remaining broken basket and went to the kitchen, pickled the mulberries with sugar, splashed the purple water in the basin, fetched another basin of water, thought about it, went to the kitchen and got a wooden stick, put on a smock, put the mulberries that had been pickled yesterday on the ground, and began to beat hard with the wooden stick.

There were more and more blue-purple juices, and after pounding a stick of incense, Jiang Yuanyuan stopped.

Make a fire, pour the mashed mulberries into it and boil it, boil it out and add a few large pieces of rock sugar to it, and the sweet and greasy taste comes out, which is very tempting.

Dig some and eat it, it tastes very good, Jiang Yuanyuan nodded with satisfaction, pressed down the fire, and let some stars heat the sauce in the pot.

I washed my hands, rubbed my shoulders and went to my room to sleep.

It's been two months since Sheng Rong left.

Every day at this time, I think of Sheng Rong, but I just think about it.

When Sheng Rong just left, Jiang Xuan and the others didn't find out, but two days later, Jiang Xuan wondered why Sheng Rong didn't show up these days, and went to knock on the door to find out that Sheng Rong was taken back to the capital.

Jiang Xuan was angry, that was the first time Jiang Yuanyuan saw Jiang Xuan who was so angry, he rushed directly into his room, kicked his own rooms, and angrily carried himself and yelled loudly Do you know Sheng Rong left.

How calm Jiang Yuanyuan was, how angry Jiang Xuan was, he carried the knife at home and said that he was going to the capital to find out Sheng Rong, and he wanted to ask why he left without saying a word, but Jiang Yuanyuan said that he asked him to leave directly.

Yes, it was Jiang Yuanyuan himself, who wanted Sheng Rong to leave in the morning, Jiang Yuanyuan didn't tell Jiang Xuan the reason why Sheng Rong left, just said that he had his own business, he told me, I know, I let him go, don't blame him.

Jiang Yuanyuan said so, Jiang Xuan's anger had nowhere to come out, but then he ignored Jiang Yuanyuan for a whole month, Jiang Yuanyuan knew that she was at a loss, and tried her best to coax Jiang Xuan, which coaxed Jiang Xuan.

In the past three months, Jiang Yuanyuan recruited some more people, when Sheng Rong left, she secretly put all the money in the small box where Jiang Yuanyuan put the money, but Jiang Yuanyuan did not use the money, she collected the money carefully, and used her own money to find the person who sold Sheng Rong's silkworm eggs, bought a batch of silkworm eggs, bought these silkworm eggs, Jiang Yuanyuan was penniless, and the last money was spent, just when Jiang Yuanyuan thought that she really wanted to use Sheng Rong's money, an old man came to their house.

When I met him on the street, the old man who sold eggs had several connections.

Jiang Yuanyuan originally accompanied Xiao Sanzi to see his friends, but after going to the street, Jiang Yuanyuan asked Xiao Sanzi to see it by herself, she walked on the street alone, walking, and suddenly cried, standing on the street, tears just fell, she didn't know why she was crying, but suddenly realized that Sheng Rong really left herself, she just stood silently, and the tears fell down little by little.

"What are you crying about?" Just when Jiang Yuanyuan was sad, an old man's voice came, Jiang Yuanyuan looked back in horror, and an old woman was standing behind her with her egg basket in her arms, looking unpredictable.

"Nope." Jiang Yuanyuan smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and suddenly felt ashamed of herself standing on the street crying, "Mother-in-law also came out to sell eggs today." ”

The mother-in-law looked at Jiang Yuanyuan's side, as if she understood something, and suddenly smiled and said, "The man who accompanied you left you?" ”

Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, a little at a loss.

"Looks like so." The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Don't die or live for a man, there are many men in the world, I see that you have nothing wrong except for a little bit, standing on the street crying, losing face." ”

Jiang Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly, nodded and said that she knew: "Thank you mother-in-law for telling me, then I, first, go?" ”

"Humph! Whatever you go, you can see that you didn't listen to me. The mother-in-law glanced at Jiang Yuanyuan, "Do you know Yang Hao and Chen Yun." ”

Jiang Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, blinked and didn't know what to say, Yang Hao and Chen Yun were the names of Master Yang and Mrs. Yang, this mother-in-law knew Master Yang's name, and she knew that she knew them, which made Jiang Yuanyuan very surprised.

"Humph! Don't look at me like that. The mother-in-law snorted coldly and took two steps forward, "Those two people asked me to help you, my bad old woman was originally unwilling to help, but I just thought that you had helped me before, and it was considered to be kind to me, so I was willing to help you." ”

"Mother-in-law......" Jiang Yuanyuan didn't understand the game, she scratched her nose, and she didn't understand much.

"My surname is Hua, just call me Granny Hua." Granny Hua waved her hand, "Seeing that you have survived now, although I don't know how you survived, but since you have survived, this prospect is much better." ”

Granny Hua glanced back leisurely, signaling Jiang Yuanyuan to follow, Jiang Yuanyuan didn't know everything, and followed Granny Hua in a daze, they walked to a courtyard, Granny Hua took out the key from her arms, opened the door and walked in, Jiang Yuanyuan followed in, and found that the house was very large, like a courtyard, with a lot of flowers and plants in the middle, and a circle on the other side, which was full of chickens.

"Chen Yun said that you are selling silk quilts." Granny Hua walked to the recliner and lay down with her eyes closed, saying leisurely, Jiang Yuanyuan nodded, feeling that Granny Hua might not be able to see, and quickly responded.

"Hmm."

"Chen Yun, I believe it, she and Yang Hao also helped me a lot at the beginning, since you want me to help you now, I won't say anything, I have five thousand taels of silver here, I invested it, it should all be to subsidize you, just let me get money every month in the future."

Granny Hua opened her eyes and looked at Jiang Yuanyuan.

"Nope! We don't need so many ......," Jiang Yuanyuan hurriedly waved her hand.

"Little girl, you have won the battle against the Peng family, and you are cooperating with the Wei family, now is the time to expand, the time when you need money the most, don't say anything here that you don't need, there are many places to spend money, if you don't develop at this time, when are you waiting for it to develop?" Granny Hua smiled shamefully, "Don't say anything from me that you just want to do a small business, why don't you go back to farming if you want to do a small business, what kind of business are you doing here?" ”

When Jiang Yuanyuan heard this, she was still a little dizzy, but she understood the general meaning, this is the best time for them to make a reputation, and if they don't take advantage of the situation to pursue at this time, they won't have this opportunity in the future.

After thinking about it quickly, Jiang Yuanyuan also calmed down.

"How long have you signed with the Wei family?" Granny Hua knocked on the rocking chair and asked.

"Three years." Jiang Yuanyuan said, this contract was signed by Sheng Rong, Sheng Rong asked his opinion, they didn't expect such a thing at all, so for this three-year contract, Jiang Yuanyuan was also willing, so naturally agreed, now that I think about it, in three years, if they want to get out and be their own, they have already established a reputation for others, but they are empty and have nothing on their side, which is very unfavorable to themselves, and now the recipe of this silk quilt has been revealed, although Peng Qi was imprisoned, but as long as the Wei family wants it, there is naturally a way to get this recipe, and when the time comes, it will give him a reputation, and when the contract time comes, he will make his own silk quilt, and Jiang Yuanyuan will have nothing in his hands.

"Hmph, this Wei family is also a sinister and cunning person, why do you remember to guard against the Peng family and forget about this Wei family." Granny Hua smiled, "But it doesn't matter, no matter how good this silk quilt is, it is only the first few years to make money, the cost of this thing is high, and the people who buy it are either rich or expensive, but this thing is not a consumer product, and the exchange is naturally not so diligent, and it will not make much money in a few years." ”

"These five thousand taels, you first pay back what you owe to the Wei family, and then spend a little money to make your field bigger, so that you can take over more work, and then you will invest the money in your marmalade, I look at the sauce, as long as you can produce it in large quantities, I have a way for you to make the business out."
