Ah Chan is clever, Ah Tang is shy, the two girls are not bad girls, although they are first met, they also get along well.

He Zhou was reluctantly followed, and Yan Niangzi assigned him to maintain the market Ningjing.

A Chan couldn't stop smiling on her face, but Ah Tang grabbed her sleeve and refused to let go, nor did she turn her head to look at He Zhou.

Ah Chan took Ah Tang to the high cabinet of the shack and picked up some fresh ones.

"Is this really salt?" Ah Tang pointed to a small mountain of salt piled on the leaves, very surprised.

Because their father was the old department of General Gongsun, they were treated very favorably, in addition to reducing the tenant rent, they also opened a mountain ban, and they could go up the mountain to hunt.

Although his father was stubborn and only allowed his younger brother Ah Chong to shoot some pheasants and other small wild animals, their family was still better off than the other people.

You can use the rabbit skin and rat skin hunted by your brother to find the steward of the village in exchange for some yellow and black salt cubes.

At home, you can often eat porridge with a salty taste, vegetables and fruits.

The salt was carefully placed in a clay pot by A-Niang and stored in a cupboard dug out of the earthen wall next to the stove.

It was something that Ah Niang could touch, and Ah Jie had never had a chance to contact her.

But the salt particles in front of me like snow were placed like this.

Thinking of this, Ah Tang unconsciously even breathed a little lighter, for fear of blowing away a grain and causing losses to the main family Yan Niangzi.

Seeing her cautious appearance, Ah Chan did not have a heart to laugh, when she first saw such a good snow salt, even the steward of the village was surprised, not to mention a lady from a family like Ah Tang.

"Next to it is sugar." Ah Chan pointed to another small pile of sugar next to the salt and introduced.

"Sugar?" Ah Tang was stunned, there was no such concept of sugar in her mind at all.

"It's sweet, much, much sweeter than the ripe mountain fruits in autumn." Chan explained.

It is much, much sweeter than the ripe mountain fruits in autumn, Ah Tang unconsciously recalled the wild honeycomb that his brother occasionally brought back from the mountains.

Bringing back such a wild honeycomb often requires his younger brother Ah Chong to pay the price of being stung a few big bags, but the harvest is also expensive.

Control the honey in it, and you can find the steward of the village to get a firewood knife.

After controlling the honeycomb, they will soak in water and eat as a family, and the cold well water will be washed out, which is so sweet that people can remember it for a long time.

Ah Tang forgot everything that had just happened, stared directly at the small pile of white sugar grains, and unconsciously took a small step back.

He Zhou, who had been restless and stretched his head forward to listen to the girls, saw Ah Tang's sparkling eyes, and began to calculate his own salary in his heart.

After coming to Guzhu Manor, they were given two months' worth of food and salary, as well as rewards for their military exploits.

Because there are few copper coins in circulation in the north, all the food and wages are rice, grain, and cloth.

The army was full of three meals a day, and not long ago he was given a new seasonal uniform, and all his food and salary were stored in the camp tent and kept by Uncle Ding, and there was no spending.

I don't know if the food is enough to replace it with a handful of these sugar particles.

He knew that the sugar in this shack needed to be exchanged for the construction site, so he might be able to ask Uncle Ding to help him find the steward to change some, and then ......

He Zhou cautiously glanced at Ah Tang's side face, she was born good-looking, but she was a little too thin.

She said her name was Ah Tang?

If he marries her, he will raise her to be fat and white.

Thinking of this, He Zhou unconsciously showed a smirk.

He Zhou was smirking to himself, and the two girls had already walked to the other side of the counter.

There are some tools made of copper and iron.

If the various rare snow salt and white sugar in front of him surprised Ah Tang, then the things here are called Ah Tang's greed.

For safety, unedged firewood knives and kitchen knives are placed in the front row.

There are also some copper pots and lacquerware at the back.

Ah Tang squeezed his hands and looked at them on tiptoe.

"And this." Compared with Ah Tang, who is cautious and never dares to touch, Ah Chan is more casual, she shows off and brings a bamboo tube closed at both ends.

Pull open one end, shake out a curtain of scorn, and gently unfold it.

From thick to thin, a row of needles is inserted into it.

Ah Tang suddenly seemed to see some treasure, and his eyes lit up.

In addition to picking mulberry and weaving, the women of the village also have to undertake the task of spinning and sewing, and a set of needlework tools is a must for every family.

The commonly used copper needles in the home are noose-type copper needles, and the needle body is very thick.

When has Ah Tang ever seen such a sewing needle with a small needle hole, a uniform and sharp needle.

She was already good at weaving and sewing, and the cloth she weaved was well-known far and wide.

Even if you get close, you can't see the stitches in the sewn clothes.

For the girl Ah Tang, the allure of this set of needles is far higher than everything on the counter.

She pursed her lips and looked up at Ah Chan fiercely: "Sister Ah Chan, I am very good at needlework, can I go to participate in the recruitment?" ”

Fundraising is the hottest topic in the village in recent days.

At first, the dealer did not believe that such a good thing could happen.

But there are always one or two people who dare to try, and after trying the benefits on the first day, they will preach it to their neighbors.

After fermenting for several days, more and more people went to recruit workers.

Ah Tang had heard before that in addition to being full, recruiters also had work, but she never thought that the work could be exchanged for such a good thing.

I heard Sister Chan say that as long as you participate in the recruitment, one work point can be exchanged for such a set of needles.

Not to mention that it only takes just one month, even half a year, Ah Tang is also willing.

Ah Tang's reaction like this, Ah Chan is not uncommon today, and nodded with a smile: "Of course you can." Ah Tang can do some sewing work first, if the needlework is really good, after a few days to build a new weaving workshop, Ah Tang can also be a weaver. ”

"I heard Mrs. Yan say that the treatment is very good, and she will also open a night school to teach reading and calligraphy."

When she said this, Ah Chan's eyes also burst into light, although she had only listened to the enlightenment class in the main house, but from Mr. Zhao and the occasional Yan Niangzi, she had heard a lot of stories that she had never heard before.

It was a vast world that she could not imagine to the fullest.

Reading and learning words?

Compared with Ah Chan, who has been in contact with enlightenment, reading and learning words is like a myth for Ah Tang, but she is not particularly excited about it, she still remembers that set of needles in her heart.

The two girls, each thinking about their own things, showed some yearning on their faces.

He Zhou, who was behind, was thinking about his advance for the second half of the year's salary, whether he could change a set of sewing needles for Ah Tang.

Thinking that Ah Tang used this needle to sew small clothes for their children, He Zhou showed a silly smile on his face, he stared at Ah Tang tightly, and even thought of the name of the eldest son and eldest daughter.

"What are you laughing at?" A question was heard from the side.

He Zhou still had a smirk on his face, and when he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man with a bronzed complexion and a full beard, and his son was standing behind him.

He Zhou didn't pay much attention to the inexplicable expressions on the faces of the father and son, the father and son have always had such a fierce and vicious face.

He smirked and continued to look at Ah Tang: "I'm looking at my future lady." ”

He Zhou originally wanted to say that his child's mother, but he felt that it was embarrassing to say this, so he didn't say it.

He didn't notice the Ma family's father and son, one left and one right standing beside him.

He Zhou, who was in the middle of the beauty, heard a question from the right: "He Shichang, are you talking about my family Atang?" ”

He Zhou was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw a face with an extremely unkind expression.

"Father-in-law?"
