Chapter Forty-Six: Each Harbors a Ghost Child

.. org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of the full court cuckoo red!

The patriarch is the patriarch, and he really has some aura!

Liu Qingyan gave Patriarch Liu a thumbs up in her heart, and then ran back to the hall and moved a square stool out, "Patriarch Grandpa, you will be more imposing when you stand here and speak." ”

Patriarch Liu glanced at the square stool and stood up with kindness. Condescendingly, the situation in the courtyard can be seen clearly, very good.

Nodding his head in satisfaction, he began to give a speech at the mobilization meeting.

After a few words, he succinctly explained the purpose of the day, and then looked forward to the future with an impassioned outlook.

He spoke clearly, his voice was mellow, his mid-air was exposed, and he was very infectious, and everyone's emotions were quickly stirred.

When it comes to living in a big yard and every family has a book to read, the crowd is suddenly full of emotion, all of them are so excited that their faces are red and their necks are red, and the scene is so lively that they race the vegetable market.

"Quiet, quiet"

Patriarch Liu roared majestically, and the noisy voices in the courtyard gradually became quieter again.

"Let's talk about the ugly things in front, if you want to learn the recipe of pickling duck eggs, you have to follow two rules, if there is a violation, the ancestral family law will be punished, and this is to be signed."

"Patriarch, if there are any rules, you can say it, as long as you can earn silver, don't say two rules, even twenty can be kept."

A man in the middle of the crowd shouted, and the people around him echoed him.

"First, in the future, the price of salted duck eggs shall not be less than three cents and sell them to outsiders; Article 2: It is forbidden to leak the recipe to blood relatives outside the village, and if the above two items are violated, they will be regarded as treason. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone began to talk again.

Guo sat at the door of her room embroidering and watched the excitement, and when she heard this, her heart sank down.

If it was known that she had told her mother's family, she would be dead. The ancestral family law is no better than the bamboo piece last time, which was beaten with a stick, and if you don't die, you will end up with a lifelong disability.

In fact, Liu Qingyan came up with these two additional agreements, the first is to prevent vicious competition from infighting, and the second is to protect the benefits of the villagers in the short term.

"Patriarch, these two rules are for the good of everyone, if anyone breaks the rules, he is blocking everyone's financial path, and he must not be let go."

"Yes, I can't."

"I can't let go, I'm the first to spare him."

The sound of agitation rushed into Guo's eardrums, and she suddenly became impatient, entered the house and closed the door, biting her lip and sitting in the house.

"Alright, alright, everyone be quiet, I'll talk about the specifics."

Then, Patriarch Liu announced how many duck eggs to be pickled this time and what needs to be prepared for pickling duck eggs.

Some people retreated after hearing this, partly because their houses were cramped and could not fit so many large clay jars. Another part is because they can't make a decision about investing money to buy duck eggs and what they need, and they want to wait and see.

"Patriarch, can I go back and discuss this matter with the mother-in-law in the house before deciding." A man with a sneering face stepped forward and said.

As soon as the man's voice fell, there was another burst of laughter.

"I just said that other husbands are sluggish, this will be a blow to myself."

"It turned out to be a coward."

Patriarch Liu darkened his face and said unhappily: "Let's go, let's go, don't be embarrassed here." ”

After the man left, some more people slipped away quietly.

For the departure of these people, Liu Qingyan had long expected that the honest peasant man was used to digging in the soil, and it took time and process to let them accept and try to do something that had never been seen before, not to mention that it would not take so many households to pickle duck eggs this time.

As for the future, she doesn't care, the way has been shown to them, how to go, it depends on the individual's creation.

This time, there are a total of 60,000 orders for salted duck eggs and Songhua eggs, and their own production is 6,000, and the original five are still 10,000, and the rest need to be completed by other clansmen, with a maximum of 2,000 per household.

"If you want to learn to pickle duck eggs, you will come to Xiucai Gong to report your name, say how many you can pickle, and then draw a bet. As the old saying goes, fertilizer and water don't flow into outsiders' fields, and people who can raise ducks should hurry up and raise more, so that we will have to go outside to collect duck eggs in the future. ”

"Patriarch, I have an empty house in my house, can I pickle more duck eggs?" A black-faced man in his forties asked with a wince.

Patriarch Liu glared at him, and said angrily: "You are really a pig's brain, how much pickled is your own family's business, and you won't take the excess to the town and the city to sell?" ”

"It's okay to eat it yourself." Someone quipped.

"Your family is so rich, and I am willing to eat duck eggs for a few pennies, but I am reluctant to eat an egg for a penny." Someone immediately teased him.

"Who is willing to eat such a precious thing, and only the rich and noble families in the city can afford to eat it."

The men began to discuss it again.

After everyone left, it was already lunchtime, and Xie had already prepared the meal.

Patriarch Liu also went home for lunch happily, and he was able to do a great deed for the clan, and his face was doubly bright.

In the afternoon, Shen sent two fish over.

Liu Qingyan opened the jar of bean paste to take a look, and decided to use fish to make the main dish of the festival.

When the sun gradually sank from the western hills, and the night poured out, the hall of the Liu family was already full of lights and candles, and the room was full of laughter.

Boiled fish, watercress fish, and chopped pepper fish head are as prosperous as the days of the Liu family.

After the meal, a table was set up in the courtyard to put moon cakes, cakes, melons and fruits, and everyone sat around the table, talking and laughing and admiring the moon.

A few light clouds surrounded a bright moon rising, and the smoky crescent moon reflected the surrounding area into a circle of colored halos, from deep to shallow, if there was nothing. The moonlight is clear and clear like soft water, and the village is more and more clear and empty under the moonlight, which means tranquility.

Tonight's moon is very white and fat, the joy of family, the joy of happiness, the days are also very complete, but the same perfect moon cakes on the table have been divided into several pieces, a little regrettable.

Liu Qingyan held a moon cake in her hand and looked around, but she couldn't swallow it for a long time.

The moon cake is sold in the pastry shop in the town, the bucket bowl mouth is large, the appearance is very similar to the five-kernel mooncake in the previous life, and the taste is indeed the five-kernel taste, but it is the "lack of heart" version of the five-kernel mooncake.

At this moment, the lotus paste salted egg yolk mooncake, which was very disliked in the previous life, was deeply missed.

It's a pity that she can only cook, not pastries, after all, the traverser is not omnipotent!

The house on the east side of the village is lively and lively, except for a person who has something on his mind, everyone else is smiling. The house on the west side of the village was deserted and sad.

In the small courtyard of the Shi family, under the jujube tree, Shi Lei and Mrs. Shi sat opposite each other, the table was full of food but had no appetite.

"Grandmother." Shi Lei lay on the table, looked at Mrs. Shi and called out resentfully.

Mrs. Shi was furious when she was looked at, took a piece of moon cake and handed it to him, and said softly: "Good grandson, come and eat a moon cake, today in the Mid-Autumn Festival, what can you do if you don't eat moon cakes." ”

Shi Lei took the moon cake, took a bite, frowned, and said, "It's unpalatable, bitter." ”

Mrs. Shi glanced at him suspiciously, took a piece and tasted it, and spit it out, "It's unpalatable, then let's not eat it." Then he looked up at the moon in the sky.

Shi Lei also went to look at the moon in the sky.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other like this, and they looked at it until the middle of the moon before they got up and went back to the house to rest.

The next day, early in the morning, Guo got up and hurried to his mother's house.

Guo Laohan and her son went to work in the fields, and there were only her mother and sister-in-law at home.

"You hurt our family this time and lost more than one or two pieces of silver, and you still have the face to ask about duck eggs." Guo's sister-in-law looked at Guo coldly and gambled Guo at the door to prevent him from entering.

Guo Shi was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he said: "How can you lose money, the Liu family has a pile of silver to move home, this is a true thing." ”

"What the hell is going on, when Dad comes back, you can tell Dad yourself." Guo's sister-in-law pursed her lips in disgust, turned back to her house, slammed the door, and hung Guo outside.

"Mother, what's going on?" Guo asked Mrs. Guo anxiously.

Guo Pozi scolded: "You stupid thing, you didn't know if you were deceived by the old Liu family, the duck eggs pickled according to that recipe are more smelly than the dung in the dung pit, you can eat it?" ”

Guo Shi was stunned and muttered: "How can this be, when that short-lived girl pickled duck eggs, I saw it clearly from the side." ”

"Hmph, there must be a secret recipe hidden from you."

Guo gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "No wonder the money-loser yesterday said that whoever leaked the recipe would use the clan rules to deal with it, and my feelings were guarded against me." ”

Then, Guo told Mrs. Guo about the events in the courtyard of the Liu family yesterday.

After listening to this, Mrs. Guo slapped her thigh and scolded: "Little prostitute who lacks heart and liver, there is no good one in this old Liu family, and she would rather teach others how to make money, rather than take care of her in-laws, and lose her conscience." ”

Guo Laohan came back even more violently, his eyes were fierce and cold, and his face was full of hideous colors.

"Old man Liu must still be holding a grudge against the original fifty-two dowry, deliberately targeting us. Girl, the more you do this, the more you have to think of ways to get the recipe. ”

"Daddy, what if people find out, I'm going to die."

Guo Laohan's eyes flashed with cunning, and he whispered to Guo: "With that recipe, our family can make a lot of money, and I'm afraid that his surname Liu will do something, and then you will be separated from the Liu family." Come home, Dad will find you a good family again. You have a good face and a good figure, and I'm afraid that no man wants it. ”

And away?

Hearing this, Guo's heart moved, and after leaving, she could live with the merchant and live together, and she no longer had to be sneaky. The merchant is much better than Liu Boyu.

Thinking of this, Guo nodded firmly, "Dad, you have to make decisions for me then, I don't want to live with Elm Pimple anymore." ”

"Don't worry, you are my father's daughter, my father can still harm you, I promise to find you a good man."

"Okay, Dad, I'll go back and think about it."

Guo went back happily.
