Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the reborn little widow of the farmer's gate!

Lian Su left a total of 100 taels of silver for Qi Zhen, but she couldn't hand it all over to Zheng Sanniang, otherwise if she didn't leave a way out for herself, what would she do in the future? Besides, now that the ice and snow are melting, it is a good time to send Lian Boyuan to Beijing to study, although renting a house in the capital is really not cheap, but the two little babies can never delay any longer.

If one of the two young people in the Lian family can have a meritorious reputation, he will no longer have to be conscripted into the army, go to the border to do hard labor, and if he can't do it, he will lose his life in a foreign land.

On the second day, Zheng Dalang found a few farmers to go to the capital early in the morning, because the Zheng family's tofu was extremely tender, and the rich and noble people in Beijing had such a mouthful, Zheng Dalang drove a donkey cart to the capital to sell tofu from time to time in order to do business.

Although there is no tofu on the cart today, there are two men of about thirty-seven or eight, one fat and one thin, both of them have tanned skin, and when they smile, their eyes are wrinkled, and they look very honest and simple.

"Zheng Dalang, really have such a good errand, as long as you plant flowers and plants a month, you can give 500 Wen?"

500 wen is really not a small amount for a farmer who plows food in the soil, how much grain can be harvested per acre of land? At best, it can only be sold for a tael of silver, and a large family will have to work tiringly.

But fortunately, when the year is busy, there is only spring plowing and autumn harvest, and the rest of the time is very idle, and planting flowers and plants is different from the day of sowing.

Zheng Dalang made a straight face, did not look back, held a whip made of wicker in his hand, and whipped it on the donkey's ass from time to time, with a little impatience on his resolute face, he roared in a low voice:

"If you want to do it or not, Lao Tzu can still find someone else!"

Zheng Dalang was originally a man of few words, and his temper was not good, but he didn't often vent it to outsiders, but there was a little accident last night, he had already entered the Tao, who had once Sanniang and her little day suddenly came, so that he pulled out something hard like an iron pestle, didn't Zheng Dalang hold his breath in his stomach?

It's just that Zheng Sanniang is the woman he loves on the tip of his heart, that is, a sister-in-law and a mother-in-law, and he is afraid that the delicate and expensive person will be turned into a delicate person, how can Zheng Dalang lose his temper with her?

So pity these two farmers surnamed Liu, and the two brothers face Zheng Dalang who has eaten gun medicine together, which is really not a good errand.

Boss Liu was wide-hearted and fat, with a smiling look, he gently patted Liu Lao'er on the back and didn't let him speak again.

After all, Zheng Dalang gave money to the two brothers, so what is it if he speaks ugly? If someone is willing to give him six taels of silver a year, he will shovel his earwax every day!

The donkey cart rattled and rattled, and it took two hours to arrive in the capital.

As soon as they entered the capital, these people went straight to the market where they bought flowers and trees, but fortunately, because these things could not be sold at a high price, and the location of the stall was also remote, generally close to the city gate, so the location was easy to find.

When he walked to the front of a stall, Liu Lao Er squatted on the ground, chewed tobacco leaves in his mouth, reached out and touched the rose that hit the bud, only felt that the petals of the rose were very delicate, and the color was also bright red.

Now is not the flowering period of roses, this vendor can get so many rose buds, it is really not a simple person, it should be a farmer in the hot spring village, secretly take the buds out to sell, otherwise the roses will not bloom so early.

Liu Lao Er looks honest, but in fact, he is also a thoughtful person, knowing that these buds are all good things, and he doesn't want to miss them.

Before entering the city just now, Zheng Dalang had already said that the mother-in-law of the Lian family was to make fat powder for women, so the flowers selected must be fresh and fragrant, otherwise if there is no taste, how can the fat cream be made?

The buds on this stall can live when they are taken back to Dawan Village, but they grow much faster than seeds, or they will be able to bloom into big roses in less than a month.

"How do you sell this bud?"

"Two pennies and one plant." The peddler replied lazily, the sun is just right today, and it is really comfortable to hit people, so that he yawns unconsciously.

"Can it be cheaper if you buy more?"

"It depends on how much you buy, if it's more than a hundred, ten will be minus one penny."

Liu Lao Er knew that the peddler didn't want to lie about the price, so he turned his head to look at Zheng Dalang, who strode forward and said:

"A thousand."

A thousand plants sounds like a lot, but it is less than two taels of silver in total, and Sanniang likes rose incense the most, and if Qi Zhen makes more ointment, he can also buy a box back to please Sanniang.

The peddler saw that Zheng Dalang was so cool, a harrier turned over and jumped up, and there were a total of 1,000 roses on his stall, but because the buds had just been punched out, they were not as big as nails, so they were naturally not easy to sell.

Speaking of which, as Liu Lao Er guessed, the hawker was originally a farmer in the hot spring Zhuangzi, because the original master of Zhuangzi liked to serve flowers and plants, and planted roses, roses and other things in the garden, and the old man who preferred flowers suddenly died, and the new master didn't like these things, and now he plans to give all the flowers and plants and raise some chickens and ducks to produce.

The peddler knew that these flowers and plants were rare and good things, so he was distressed when he pulled them out, so he secretly dug up a lot of seedlings and sold them.

"Do you have bluegrass or roses there?"

"There are more flowers and plants in my Zhuangzi, not only these flowers and plants, but also tea trees, if you want to buy them, you can go directly to the Zhuangzi with me, and you can also pick a few rare things."

Zheng Dalang's eyes flashed, although he was a little moved, but he didn't show it, and asked:

"How do you count the money? If you go to Zhuangzi, there will be only you alone, and if you ask for a price, then we will suffer a big loss. ”

The peddler gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, strong man, you can ask on this street, and when the time comes, my price will definitely not be higher than that on the street, and the things are not worse than them." ”

Boss Liu carefully trapped Hua Miaozi with hemp rope, put it on the cart, and said to Zheng Dalang:

"Da Lang, otherwise you take the flower seedlings back to the village first, and then bring the mother-in-law of the Lian family, what flowers and plants she wants can also have a number in her heart, and we don't like what she wants."

Boss Liu's words also have some truth, Zheng Dalang first asked about the location of Zhuangzi, counted out the silver and handed it to the vendor, explained a few words to the Liu brothers, and then drove the donkey cart to Dawan Village.

Zheng Dalang returned to Dawan Village and directly put the flower seedlings in the warehouse of the Lian family, which was very shady and would not dry the flower seedlings.

Qi Zhen followed behind Zheng Dalang and asked:

"Brother Zheng, where are you taking me?"

"These flower seedlings were bought from a hawker, and I heard that there are many other flower varieties in his village, so I will take you to pick them."

At this time, Qi Hao had already sat in the donkey cart, she was wearing a hat on top of her head, and her face was covered with layers of scarves, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Some people in the village said that Qi Zhen's mother-in-law had a rash on her face, which had broken her face, and that face was like the back of a toad, bulging out one after another pus, and pus was flowing down from time to time; Some people also say that Qi Zhen is very watery, and her skin and flesh are as white as shelled eggs, so she is blocking it in order to cause less trouble, after all, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and people are terrible!

Zheng Dalang had seen Qi Zhen's true face a few times, and although he didn't see where this woman was beautiful, he also knew that she was not disfigured at all.

The Zhuangzi that the hawker said is not far from Dawan Village, and you can see it just by bypassing the West Mountain.

Just after noon, it was time for ordinary people to eat, but because she was very busy today, Qi Zhen made egg cakes for the two children, and she herself took a bite of it, padding her stomach, and saving her spleen and stomach.

Not far away, curling smoke rose, Qi Zhen sat on the cart and squinted, and found that the Zhuangzi was really not small, and when he got closer, he smelled a rich fragrance of flowers in his nose, not a single one, but the aroma of many kinds of flowers and plants mixed in one place.

When she arrived at the door of Zhuangzi, Qi Zhen jumped off the scooter and walked in directly.

It's also a little strange to say, Zhuangzi, who has planted so many flowers and plants, even has few guards, walking on the bluestone paved path, the path is lined with gardenias as white as snow, Qi Zhen bent down and picked a petal, crushed it with his nails, and rubbed it in the palm of his hand.

This gardenia has a very fragrant taste, and the petals are thick, the juice is rich, I think I can use her to make a lot of flower dew, and the gardenia can be used to make tea after drying, which can play a role in purging fire and cooling blood detoxification, which is naturally a rare good thing.

"Da Lang!"

Boss Liu shouted at the top of his voice, he also saw Qi Hao, after all, he was also a villager in Dawan Village, a villager in the village, even if he didn't move around much, but in the end, he knew each other.

Qi Hao quickened her pace, at this moment she picked up her hat hotly, walked in front of Boss Liu, and found that there was a young man hiding behind the two brothers, who looked a little tender, and estimated that he was fifteen or sixteen.

The peddler looked at Qi Hao combing the woman's head and asked:

"Madame, what flowers would you like to buy? I have a complete range of this very good, and you are satisfied. ”

Qi Zhen was not in a hurry to buy flowers, she asked, "Are all the flowers and plants in the Zhuangzi made by you?" ”

"My father used to plant it with me, but at the end of last year, he fell and broke his leg, and it was difficult to turn over while lying in bed.

The woman lowered her head, her eyes were full of brilliance, if the young man was telling the truth, then his ability to raise flowers and plants was really far beyond ordinary people.

"Your flower seedlings are so good, why don't you wait for a few days to sell them?"

"The owner of Zhuangzi wants to pull out the flower seedlings and raise chickens and ducks, and he will send someone in a few days.

Qi Zhen was still covering her face, she walked around Zhuangzi, and saw a peach forest not far away, with pale pink petals growing on dead branches, some of which were blown down by the wind, fluttering and sprinkling, like a peach blossom rain.

However, Qi Zhen is not an elegant person, she only has white flowers and silver in her eyes, if she collects all these fine peach petals, it is not difficult to make a balm for soft skin.

While thinking about buying these dozens of peach trees, Qi Zhen got a word from the young man's mouth, and finally got a lot of useful news.

This young man's name is Yang Shu, and he didn't sign a death contract with the master of Zhuangzi, but he just worked under him, if he can collect the poplar tree under his hands, with this person's ability to raise flowers and grass, how can Qi Zhen be at ease? Moreover, Yang Shu's father Yang He broke his leg, because his family was poor, and now he can't get enough money for medicine, and helping him by himself is just a gesture.

The two brothers of the Liu family were picking the flower seedlings of the gardenia, and Qi Zhen didn't let them touch the peach tree, otherwise if they wanted to transplant the peach tree to the west mountain, the tender petals of the tree would be ruined.

Walking under the tree, Qi Hao turned her head and glanced twice, and saw a thin bamboo pole, knocking and beating, and getting down a lot of petals, she squatted on the ground to pick it up.

Yang Shu also followed Qi Hao to pick up petals, this kid scratched his head, wanted to ask something, opened his mouth, but was embarrassed to speak, it turned out to be a thin-skinned person.

Qi Hao laughed secretly, put the petals into the bamboo basket brought by the poplar, and asked:

"Otherwise, you will come to work under me, five hundred wen a month, and when I have money, if you do a good job, I will let you be in charge."

Yang Shu just said that Qi Hao had to see his ability with his own eyes before he could take out more silver, otherwise if she looked away and threw the silver into the water, wouldn't she only have to hear a sound?

"Is that true?"

Even if Yang Shu works in Zhuangzi, he only has 500 yuan a month, because Yang He's leg is broken, and he will need ten taels of silver for medicine, which will empty the Yang family's foundation.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the owner of the spring village had to pull out the flowers and plants, and he was useless as a flower farmer, thinking that he would have to tighten his belt and be hungry for a while to find the next home, but he didn't expect such good luck to meet such a generous customer today.

"What did I lie to you? As long as you take good care of the flowers and plants, and let them bloom more luxuriantly, I will have more money in my hand, and I will not treat you badly when the time comes. ”

Yang Shu was young in the end, and when he heard this, his face flushed with excitement, and he grinned with his teeth.

In fact, it is not how to dry today, and there are a lot of board cars in Zhuangzi, and the poplars dug up a lot of flower seedlings tied to the board cars, and transported them to the West Mountain, fortunately, there are still a few days before the owner of the Zhuangzi buys chickens and ducks, and they are not in a hurry, and so on the second day, Zheng Dalang took Zheng Erlang and led more than a dozen croppers, and planted these flower seedlings and flowers on the West Mountain.

Zheng Dalang looked tall and rough, but he turned out to be a careful one, most of the dozen or so croppers he found were tending to flowers and plants, and they were all honest and honest, and they didn't procrastinate in their work, Qi Zhen only needed to give fifty wen per person, and it would be.

Even though there were a lot of people, they worked for four days before moving the flowers and plants in the Zhuangzi to the west mountain.

Fortunately, Qi Zhen had expected it, so he first picked those delicate petals and put them in the warehouse, and these men in the province were trampled when they were working.

After the Zhuangzi was almost emptied, Qi Zhen gave Yang Shu forty taels of silver, and the remaining five taels were used as the wages of those men, and the remaining five taels were invited to the village's skilled cooks, and a few tables of pig killing banquets were made, and they were served with good food and drink every day, so that they could work harder.

On this day, Qi Zhen got up early in the morning and walked to the West Mountain while the sun was still shining.

Because Zheng Sanniang paid to buy Xishan, the path into Xishan was surrounded by a high fence, although no one is looking at it now, but it always looks like it.

Walking into the foot of the mountain, Qi Zhen saw a dry and bare peach blossom branch, there were no petals on it, after all, the petals had already been picked by her, one of which was a peach tree was very thick, as thick as an adult man's waist, listening to the poplar tree, this peach tree has been a hundred years old, and the petals growing on it are not faint pink, but a little red.

Qi Hao knew that the petals were a good thing, so she separated the petals, cleaned the petals overnight, pounded the juice with a wooden pound, and stirred it with lard, so that the flower dew could also be precipitated.

Compared with osmanthus, the flower dew of peach blossom is more effective for women, and it can also nourish women's bodies, not only has the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, but also can even replenish qi and blood.

Although Qi Zhen's recent meals are not bad, her lips are still a little pale, and she has to be coated with rouge water every day to look a little more beautiful, but if she is raised with peach blossoms, it will not be long before she can raise her tone from the inside out.

Further up is a plum blossom forest, in winter Qi Zhen has already put the plum petals in the wine jar, carefully tied with cloth strips, buried in the yard under the laurel tree, now it has been a full month, and then ten days will be full of forty-nine days, then dig out, it is the best material.

In addition, there is a rose field on the mountainside, a rose forest, and a lot of tea trees, but unfortunately there are no olives in the village, even if Qi Zhen wants to squeeze oil from olives, he can only think about it.

The west mountain is very big, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, because the soil is loosened by planting trees and flowers, Qi Zhenshen walked for an hour with one shallow foot and one foot before going down the mountain.

After returning to the Lian family, it was just past the hour, Qi Zhen just went to the Zheng family to bring a jar of soy milk back, just put it on the fire and boiled, just on the previous baked cakes, the two snacks of the Lian family were very fragrant.

In the past few days, in order to feed the stomachs of those villagers, a whole pig was killed, but fortunately, the pigs were kept in the water, so that the pig killers could be cleaned up.

People in the village don't like to eat pigs in the water, and Qi Hao was originally very disgusted with these pickled things, but she later went to the capital and ate a lot of restaurants, only to know that if the pigs were done well, they would be much more delicious than the best lean meat, especially the method of making sausages, or because the old eunuch picked his mouth, she beat Qi Zhen alive, and she knelt at the door of the chef and begged, so she got the recipe.

Qi Zhen specially left a piece of pork hind leg meat before, first chopped into pieces the size of a fingernail, ground spices such as pepper star anise into powder, put it in the filling to season, and then added a lot of sugar, salt, soy sauce, liquor and other things, after adjusting the filling, marinated for two hours, and then poured into the large intestine that had been processed.

After filling the sausages, Qi Zhen wound the sausages into sections with thin thread, put them under the eaves and hung them, and they were ready to dry in about ten days.

At this moment, Qi Zhen had a lump of lard on her hands, and the sticky touch made her frown, she carefully scrubbed it with soap a few times before washing it off, and wiped the water droplets on her hands with a dry handkerchief, because she hadn't dealt with the peach petals before, if she put it down again, I'm afraid the petals would rot in the warehouse.

Walking to the warehouse, Qi Zhen poured the two bamboo baskets of peach blossoms into a large pot, pumped water from the well, and rinsed it gently, not daring to use too much force, otherwise if the petals were destroyed, he would not be able to make a good grease.

Lian Zhongqi is only six years old this year, and he is very curious about everything, so he is squatting in front of the wooden basin at this moment, carefully watching Qi Zhen's movements, fortunately, he doesn't talk much, and he is also a quiet character, and he is not noisy.

After cleaning the petals, Qi Zhen mashed the petals and put them in the wine jar, spread a layer of newly picked silk this year, and after covering the lid, set up a pot and steamed it over a high fire.

The more you steam, the more you can precipitate out the flower oil in the peach petals, this kind of flower oil moisturizes the skin, but it is much stronger than ordinary lard, and it is about to enter Beijing, Qi Zhen naturally has to prepare a little good thing in her hand, otherwise the shop may not be able to open.

After steaming all day, Qi Zhen opened the steamer while it was hot, picked off the lid on the wine jar with a wooden stick, and then fished out the silk with chopsticks.

The silk is full of flower oil, Qi Zhen tore the silk into small pieces and mixed it in the lard, the original snow-white lard without a trace of variegated color, now mixed with light pink silk, the peach blossom oil in the silk and the lard are fused together, and a faint peach blossom aroma suddenly spreads.

Qi Zhen added a mashed 'primer' to it, and then carefully sealed the jar and left it in a cool place to dry.

Two baskets of peach petals are enough to make three jars of grease cream, but it still has to ferment for a period of time before the paste can be taken out to evenly balance, as for the remaining peach petals, Qi Zhen has not wasted, add some ginger juice to it, pour it into a small bottle, and wait until the hair is cleaned with pancreas, apply this peach blossom dew, which can also play a role in maintenance.

Because Qi Zhen has been working for too long, Lian Zhongqi's baby sat in the corner and fell asleep at some point, her small breasts rose and fell, and her small mouth was slightly open, looking very cute.

In the end, this body is also used to doing rough work, even if Qi Hao carefully maintains it, making the skin far more slippery than before, and there is not even a calloon, but the strength of the woman in Beijing is far away, and it is not much worse than the man who does the work below.

Holding Lian Zhongqi in his arms, Qi Hao sent the little baby directly to the room.

These days, her expenses are really not small, and she is about to go to the capital, and the shop must be cleaned up, and the two small bundles must also be prepared, otherwise it is not easy to enter the school.
