Chapter 285: Making Bad (Second Update)
Soon it was the turn of the Yu family, and Yu Hai let the eldest sister and brother-in-law take the lead. When the people of the yamen were loading food for Yu Caifeng, a sharp voice suddenly sounded: "Can the married girl also participate in receiving the food for disaster relief?" ”
Lord Zhao, who happened to come over to inspect, heard it, frowned and said: "The married girl, if she marries into this village, her household registration belongs to Dongshan Village, and she can naturally participate in receiving food." ”
The Yu family followed the sound and looked over and found that it was Li Guihua Li, who was gluttonous, lazy, and troublesome from time to time. She crossed her waist, pointed at Yu Caifeng, who was receiving food, and said with foam at the mouth: "Yu Caifeng is a foreign married daughter, and she married far away to the northeast, and there is no one in the village who does not know about this matter." If you fled to Dongshan Village in the spring, can you also be considered a member of Dongshan Village? ”
This Li Guihua hurts others and is not good for herself, Yu Caifeng can't get food, she can't get an extra catty, and when she gets food, it doesn't account for her share. What does food mean in a disaster year? It's a living life! The Li clan cut off the way for people to receive food, which is tantamount to seeking money and killing people! What kind of grudge does Yu Caifeng have with her, and she is so vicious?
The villagers of Dongshan Village, looking at Li Guihua's gaze, became complicated. This old lady is a poisonous snake, maybe she will jump out and bite someone at any time. When you go home, you have to warn your mother-in-law not to get involved with such a person.
The village chief, who was helping to distribute the grain, pulled his face and scolded her: "Li Guihua, I want to get your food, why do you talk so much?" ”
Li continued to shake off the fat on his body, smiled flatteringly at the county commander, and said, "Didn't I find out the people in the team who fished in troubled waters for Lord Qingtian?" The food distributed by the imperial court can't be taken away by some inexplicable people! Village chief, you can't get along well with Yu Hai, just shield them! ”
Li's heart was full of resentment towards Yu Hai's family. Liu Hu, a person with a foreign surname, he can take it home and raise it, provide food and drink for their family, live in a blue brick house for them, and build a house for them, saying that it is Liu Hu's own money. In the past six months, in addition to helping sell watermelons out of the village for a few days, when did Liu Hu go out to work and make money?
Yu Hai would rather help people with foreign surnames than give Yu Dashan two dates. Yu Hai's family is said to eat meat and fine grains every day, but she can only nibble on the few coarse grain cakes assigned by her mother-in-law. Her brother became more and more impatient for her to go back to get things, especially her sister-in-law, who said something harsh every time. Every time she got it back, she ate less and less, and it was not enough for her to eat, and it was so uncomfortable to be hungry, and she lost a lot of weight!
After Lao Yutou reconciled with the Zhang family, the Li family quarreled several times to separate the family, but they were threatened by the Zhang family leaving the house. With the Zhang family, I can mix some food every day, and if I leave the house, I have to go to Zhang Luo by myself. The Zhang family still has a few hundred taels of silver in his hand, but he can't all be cheaper than the little cub in Yubo. There is also a little advantage to not separating the family, if Yu Bo is admitted to fame, their family can also be stained.
But every time he saw the old man with a ruddy and oily face, Li was not calm. How thick is this Yu Hai's family, the people who are dying have been tossed back by them, and their bodies look even tougher than before they got sick. These benefits can't fall on her at all, and if she doesn't add to them, how can she be happy in her heart. No, the opportunity is rare, and the Li family just jumped out.
Zhao Xianling looked at the village chief with suspicion, and asked in a loud voice: "Village chief, what's going on?" ”
The village chief was so angry that his face was like a pig's liver, purple and shiny, and he couldn't argue with an old lady, so he could only glare at Li fiercely, and explained to Zhao County Order: "Lord County Order, don't listen to her nonsense. Although Yu Caifeng's family fled to Dongshan Village, they have already moved their household registration to Dongshan Village and settled in the village. I took them to the yamen to handle the formalities, if you don't believe it, I will ask Yu Caifeng to go back and show you the household registration. ”
After listening to the explanation, Zhao Xianling's face softened, nodded, and said, "Hmm! Or take the household registration and show it to the villagers on the spot, so as not to let someone talk behind their backs! ”
Liu Junping stood up and said: "Lord County Commander, village head, my legs are fast, I'll get it!" ”
Yu Caifeng gave the key to the cabinet in the room to her eldest son and told him. Liu Junping glared at Li fiercely with a cannibalistic gaze, and ran in the direction of the old mansion as fast as he could.
Yu Caifeng was afraid of delaying the progress of distributing food, so she took a step to the side and let the villagers behind her take the lead. The sister-in-law smiled at her and said, "Caifeng, they are all from the same village, and they all know who is who." We all believe in you! ”
Someone in the team whispered: "This Li family's mind is poisonous enough!" The food is all the things of the official family, and it doesn't take up any of her, but she jumped out to report her sister-in-law! Who did people recruit and provoke whom? ”
The other pouted and said, "What sister-in-law?" That Yu Dashan was brought over by Zhang's second marriage head, and he has no blood relationship with Caifeng. Besides, Lao Yu Tou has reconciled with the Zhang family, and Yu Dashan has nothing to do with the sea and Caifeng now! ”
"This Li family and Zhang family are really not a family, if they don't enter a family, they are both the same hard-hearted. Fortunately, Lao Yutou still has the son of the sea, otherwise he would have carried Nanshan early! ”
"As far as Zhang's slamming the door, I don't even prepare a coffin if I can't keep it, sweep it with grass and dig a pit to bury it! Alas! This Zhang family is not afraid of retribution! ”
While the villagers were whispering, Liu Junping brought his family's household registration certificate. On the household register, which was collected evenly, the words Dongshan Village were clearly written. At the beginning, although there were more refugees from Tanggu Town, the people of the Yamen saw that Yu Hai's family had a godfather of the minister, and he was a celebrity in front of the king of Yangjun, so it went very smoothly, and even the hard-earned money given by Yu Hai was confiscated.
Facts speak louder than words, and some people who are not right-minded have also stopped. In the contemptuous gaze of everyone, the Li family shrank her head and dodged everyone's gaze, and when it was her turn to receive the food, she ran away as if a wolf was chasing her behind her.
Except for this little episode, the distribution of food was very smooth. The Yu family, six adults and six children, received a total of 150 catties of food, enough for them to eat for a month. However, most of the grains received were coarse grains, and every time the grass was made into steamed buns or cakes, it took a long time to consume them with one or two handfuls.
The food at home was piled up, which gave the Yu family a sense of security in the disaster year. The vegetables harvested in the vegetable field in the yard have been dried into dried vegetables, and the only fly in the ointment at present is that you can't eat fresh vegetables. Yu Xiaocao thought about it, since the spirit stone liquid has the effect of killing locusts, can she do something with this?
That's right! Isn't it possible to use pesticides for pest control in previous lives? Can she use herbs to develop a slightly toxic and volatile liquid to cover her spirit stone liquid?
After choosing one day, Yu Xiaocao rode her little red horse, went to Tongrentang Pharmacy, found Dr. Sun, and told her what she thought. Dr. Sun was also very interested in this, and the two of them worked together to make a liquid medicine with the effect of repelling insects and killing insects! It's just that there is no potion of spirit stone liquid, and the effect is much worse!
Because the potion is made of Chinese herbal medicine, the price is relatively high, and not everyone can afford it, so it is unlikely to be popularized. Pounding this potion, Yu Xiaocao's real purpose is still to cover for the spirit stone liquid.
After the potion came out, Yu Xiaocao bought a lot of Chinese medicinal materials from Tongrentang, and when he returned home, he was busy. As soon as the Yu family heard that although the cost of this potion was high, it could expel the locusts and destroy the locusts, they immediately became full of enthusiasm again.
They turned over the land in the courtyard early, and sprinkled the seeds of green leafy vegetables with a short ripening period in the front and back yards of the east courtyard, and planted autumn vegetables such as cabbage and radishes in the west courtyard.
Yu Xiaocao went to the blacksmith in the town and made a few watering cans. Put the potion mixed with the spirit stone liquid into the watering can, and water the potion on the vegetable field every day.
Although the spirit stone liquid of the small mending stone is good for both animals and plants, it is necessary to grasp a degree. For example, the two black and white wolves they raise at home can withstand a concentration of 1% of the spirit stone liquid, if the concentration is higher, it will be harmful to their bodies, and if they are given pure spirit stone liquid, their spiritual power will explode and die. The concentration of spiritual power that locusts can withstand is even lower, that is to say, as long as a few drops of spirit stone liquid are consumed every day, there is absolutely no pressure to exterminate insects!
The plant has a higher tolerance to the spirit stone liquid, and a larger concentration can promote the growth of the plant, and it can make the plant carry a touch of spiritual power, which is beneficial to the human body. This is also one of the reasons why Yujia vegetables are more expensive than others, but they will never worry about sales.
The sprinkled vegetable seeds quickly sprout tender shoots, and the locusts will not let go of this delicious food. However, the smell emitted by the potion made most of the locusts take a detour, and the few locusts that occasionally fell would also kick their legs because they couldn't bear the aura of the spirit stone liquid. Every day, the children of the Yu family are able to pick up many dead locusts from the fields.
Yu Xiaocao saw that these locusts were thrown away, so he bought more than 30 chicks that had just hatched from the Zhou family's aunt. Zhou Shan was very strange and asked: "Xiaocao, people can't eat enough in the disaster year, where is there food to feed the chickens?" Our chickens, which have grown up, are all sold for money. Those half-grown chicks, my parents are so worried that they don't know what to do with them......"
Yu Xiaocao said with a smile: "We have a lot of children, so we go up the mountain every day to catch more insects, plus the corn leaves and sweet potato leaves that we have recovered, we can almost raise chickens." In winter, if there is no food, they kill and eat meat. ”
So, the children of the Yu family, under the leadership of Liu Junping, went around catching locusts. When the locusts were caught, they were frozen in the cellar. The Yu family makes several buckets of ice every day to replenish the ice consumed in the cellar. The entire cellar of fifty or sixty square meters, except for the ice, was full of baskets of locusts. Not to mention raising thirty chickens, you can feed another thirty.
The locusts that died in the field were dried in the sun, powdered and mixed with the chaff. Chicks are very fond of food and grow faster than when they were fed food.
