Chapter 197
Fortunately, the Wen family had settled part of the payment in advance before, plus the food and military supplies of Zhang Ji of the imperial court, and he also paid several thousand taels of silver. [No pop-ups. That's why she wasn't embarrassed, and let the riverbank land go smoothly according to her plan.
Because the river beach is not easy to build houses and live in, Lin Baozhu only spent some drawings and asked the carpenter to be busy making many cages. Then, according to the memory of visiting the farm in his previous life, he caught a lot of chickens and ducks and put them in to raise. Anyway, for a while, the river beach that was originally wild and could only grow some artichokes turned into a new fragrant dumpling in Peachtree Bay.
Seeing that October was almost over, Liuzi finally brought a letter over, saying that he would pick her up and go to the capital with the eldest girl in a few days. Because they are light, and they don't need too many cumbersome things, the itinerary is naturally faster than the Great Zhou army, which is greeted by the road everywhere, and the time they naturally have to set off for the capital will be much later than Zhang Manchu's party.
But fortunately, Zhang Manchu, who has been taught a lesson, is now very conscious, even if he is ridiculed and joked by Zhu Neng, he can still have the same cheeky face and ask him to write a lot of love words about his daughter-in-law without shame.
Lin Baozhu looked at the letter that had just been sent by Xiao Bing all the way, holding an inconspicuous golden hairpin in his hand, and his heart was as sweet as honey. Since my grandfather left home this time, he would bring back a letter from time to time, and naturally every time he passed by, he would always take the time to buy some rare items and send them back. Or amusing gadgets, or he has never seen it, but he has seen the jewelry worn by others, but he is much more attentive than before.
At the end of the letter, there were a few words of grievance, saying that the food in Yanjing was pompous and good-looking, and it tasted bad in the mouth. And he followed His Royal Highness King Rui to the invitation of Zhizhou and others to eat twice, but the wine was very soft, not energetic enough, and was always made very elegant by a few sour poems recited by Zhizhou. The big man, you should eat and drink dry, and you don't have to behave like a little woman.
Seeing the previous sentence, Lin Baozhu couldn't help laughing, that was the temperament of his own masters. As early as when he was at home, he complained about many meals in the restaurant, which looked beautiful and bright, but most of them were warm in his mouth and had no taste. It's okay in summer, but in autumn and winter, it's better to eat dry food directly with chili peppers and pickles.
Anyway, whether it's to make her happy, praise her cooking skills in a different way, or miss her. These two sentences still made Lin Baozhu feel a little proud. It is said that to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach, and now it seems that he has done it quite successfully.
When he saw the last two sentences and asked her for drinks, Lin Baozhu shook his head. These two sentences must have been added by the second Zhu Neng and the sixth son, but they were written with bells and whistles because their own men were not so literate.
She didn't dare to say anything else, if she talked about drinking, her own masters would definitely not take the initiative like this. This is why she obviously brews some wine at home, but she has never seen Zhang Manchu get drunk.
In addition to the man's self-control, the most important thing is that Lin Baozhu doesn't like his own men to drink, and he doesn't like people who drink as soon as they drink. Naturally, Zhang Manho, who is centered on his daughter-in-law everywhere, is naturally indifferent to alcohol and the like. That is, when you are happy, you can taste some power to have a lively and festive celebration, but if someone persuades him to drink and wants to get drunk, there is no door.
When receiving the letter, Lin Baozhu asked Qiu Niang and Cui's sister-in-law to entertain the messenger who delivered the letter to the hall for tea. And she went back to the house to read the letter carefully, thinking that it was not a time for Zhu Neng to help read the letter, so she immediately wrote a reply letter and talked about the family affairs in detail.
Now everything is fine at home, lotus flowers are planted, and fish, chickens and ducks are raised on the river beach. Even with some of the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Peachtree Bay, they can follow Zhang Ji to work, or raise chickens and ducks, which is not tiring but tedious, or clean the chicken coop and duck coop, or help plant some mulberry saplings, anyway, it is a hot scene.
She wrote a lot, most of which were about the village at home. From the chickens and ducks in the yard of Zhang's house were moved to the side of the river beach, to the past ten days of work touched more than 300 catties of eggs and duck eggs, and she asked someone to buy some Luhua chicken, just wait for Zhang Manchu to come back and eat a whole chicken and duck feast. It's chattering, cumbersome and meticulous, but between the lines is warmth and warmth.
After writing the reply, she called Cui's sister-in-law to follow her to the cellar to carry wine. It just so happened that a few days ago there was a lot of champion red, which will just let people take it back, and it can be regarded as satisfying the thoughts of the second and sixth sons.
After the messenger had left, she sighed, and put the letter and the golden hairpin into the box with a sweet and melancholy heart. To be honest, she doesn't like to wear gold and silver very much, and thinks that as long as it is refreshing and refreshing on weekdays, it is very good.
But obviously, the man in his own house didn't think so, he always seemed to feel that he had too little for his daughter-in-law. So I tried my best to be good to her, whether it was an object or a surprise, one by one, I couldn't put my whole heart on my daughter-in-law.
Sometimes Lin Baozhu will wake up laughing when he sleeps, and when he wakes up and can't sleep, he will think, if he lets others know that the legendary invincible and heroic protector general who kills the enemy is a man who is dizzy and thinking about how to please his daughter-in-law, he may surprise how many people's big teeth.
If this is a king, he will definitely be a naked faint king. But she just likes it.
With the development of the Zhangji River Beach, there is almost no idle labor in the whole village now, and even some people's cattle and mule carts are rushing to give Lin Baozhu free use. However, Rao was like this, and she still asked Shi Dayong to take people to the town to buy a few mules for delivery. There are many business outlets in Zhang Ji now, and there are seven or eight people who deliver goods now, not including the few who deliver goods with the workshops and shops in the town and the workshops in the county.
Originally, when Zhang Ji first opened the workshop, there were still people with hot eyes and some cool words, but although there were many fewer later, there were still secretly slandered. Or when Lin Baozhu gathered the people in the village to plant tea trees together, there would be so many gossip? However, with the growth of the tea trees, and the growth of lotus leaves covering the sky and the sun on the river beach, not to mention that there is no discordant sound in Peachtree Bay, even the people waiting to see the jokes in the outer villages are full of disbelief and close their mouths.
Obediently, in that poor and remote place in Peachtree Bay, why is there such a blessed daughter-in-law? I heard that the daughter-in-law was still a refugee, and if they had known that there was such a good thing, they would have to rush to meet the fleeing daughters at the entrance of the village.
Later, I didn't know where to say that Lin Baozhu was blessed, and he could bring him rich wherever he went. That's a reward from God, and it's very rare.
If it is usual, Xu Yes's words will also cause the displeasure of a daughter-in-law in Taoshuwan Village, and if a foreign daughter-in-law becomes a blessed wife, they will be dry as a foil. It's just that now it's different from the past, and if anyone dares to say that the orb is not a blessed one, they won't be happy.
As the days passed, as October was coming to an end, Lin Baozhu finally handed over the affairs of the river beach to Wang Dakui. The tea shop at home is managed by Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma. The tea mountain is still taken care of by two tea masters, and then the food workshop is given to Shi Dayong and his wife.
Because of the tea workshop, the food workshop, and the river beach, Lin Baozhu has set up three sets of accounts. And they all invited the younger students of the village from the private school to be the bookkeeper, and finally Gou Yu, a rising star who had learned simple account book records from Lin Baozhu, was in charge. So even if Lin Baozhu is gone, today's business will not be delayed.
Originally, the eldest girl was also in charge of the accounts, and she was very skilled and flexible in applying the simple accounting knowledge taught by Lin Baozhu in her previous life, but unfortunately this time she was going to the capital, and she would inevitably take the eldest girl with her. So I didn't let the big girl learn anything.
I thought that if I went to the capital, it would be a little inappropriate to only wear my current clothes. Simply, she searched for a day's work, discussed with Qiu Niang, and wanted to take Qingqing Hongmei and the eldest girl to the ready-to-wear store in the county seat to shop.
After knowing Madame's plan, Qiu Niang and Sister-in-law Cui were excited and sour in their hearts, now that they have wages on hand, they no longer have to have a mouthful like when they fled. In addition, the lady is kind and not harsh on them, so the food she usually eats is also very good. But even then, they didn't dare to ask their wife to give them a day off, so that they could take their children out shopping.
First, they know that they have only been here for a short time, and they can have a good life today because of their good hearts. Second, to be honest, I am used to living a hard life, even if I want to buy an object for my daughter, I have to think about it for many days. That's why I never made up my mind.
This time, it was in line with the friendship of the lady, not only to take the children to go shopping and meet the market, but also not to delay serving the lady, of course, they couldn't ask for it.
set a date, Lin Baozhu took the eldest girl to find a show girl's sister-in-law and Zhao Di. However, because the food workshop is very busy now, Xiuniang's sister-in-law can't spare time for a while, so she can only entrust Zhaodi to Lin Baozhu to take it.
The left and right are obedient and sensible children, even if they bring it, it won't get in the way, just like that, it can be regarded as a matter of going out.
The next day, Liu Tiehammer drove the mule cart out, but the current mule cart is naturally different from the kind of delivery, and the canopy alone is specially made by Lin Baozhu to find someone. There are smooth benches and bunks, and there is even a special tea table for a few children to play around the table.
The mule cart drove steadily all the way to the county seat, and several people were in a happy and expectant mood. Lin Baozhu was not happy that it was difficult to get out, but thought that after buying a trip this time, he would be able to see his family in a few days, and of course he was happy in his heart.
