After making noise for a long time, they were even more hungry, Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin glanced at Cheng Mingli's leisureliness, and simply climbed up.

"Little cousin, give me a little land."

Cheng Mingli lay down to the side, just to make way for a position where he could lie down.

Cheng Minglian had to lie down, and when Cheng Mingxin reacted, there was no place for him, "Third cousin, respect the old and love the young." ”

"I am the elder, you are the youngest." Cheng Minglian looked at him with a smile.

"Then I don't care, third cousin, you move to the little cousin." Cheng Ming pressed the skin on him.

Cheng Minglian reluctantly moved half of his body, and the three brothers lay on the board; Seeing how happy they were chatting, Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingzhi glanced at each other, shook their heads silently, and turned their heads to take care of Cheng Dazhu.

Cheng Dazhu sat on a board car, with kind eyebrows and a thick smile.

is old, his children and grandchildren are under his knees, and his life is complete; When his little granddaughter grows up and gets married, he doesn't have to worry about it.

The sons are brothers, and the friendship of grandchildren is not low; No matter who comes out first, they will not forget their brothers and sisters, as long as they are willing to reach out and pull out their brothers and sisters from weak families, their lives will be better.

What's more, their family has a soap business, and their life will only get better and better in the future.

"Mingyi, Mingzhi, you two should sit down for a while." Cheng Dazhu patted the empty space around him with a smile, "I've been busy for most of the day, and we can have a good rest when we go home." ”

Cheng Mingyi stood beside him and said, "Grandfather, grandson is not tired, what is this journey; I didn't get tired on the way to escape, don't worry about us, you can rest. ”

Cheng Zhizhi bowed slightly and agreed.

"Okay, when you are tired, you can rest, and when your father, uncles, and uncles come back, we will go home."

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, Cheng Yuandong and the three of them came back with their things, and the back basket behind them was filled with three pairs of lard; And Cheng Yuanxi's back basket was not filled with lard, it was he who met Buwei who went out on the way to buy lard, and followed Buwei to the grocery store of King Zhou's mansion and bought twenty catties of soap.

It's not ground soaphorn powder, it's sun-dried soaphorn.

"How much did you buy?" The quantity that Cheng Dazhu is most concerned about.

"Three mates." Cheng Yuandong and Cheng Yuannan took down the back basket and hugged it diagonally, uncovering a layer of black cloth covering it, revealing the white lard.

Cheng Yuandong has two pairs in the back basket, and Cheng Yuannan has only one pair in the back basket.

Cheng Dazhu was satisfied, they didn't have to eat lard, and they had to use it all to make soap.

"Let's go, get home early, make some soap out." Immediately got off the car, Cheng Dazhu went to see his youngest son's back basket again, and saw that it was soaphorn, and he wondered, "Third child, what are you doing with soaphorn?" ”

Cheng Yuanxi said calmly, "Dad, this is for Yiyi, she is useful." ”

"Yiyi asked you to buy it?"

"That's not it, it's my son who heard Yiyi say once that soap can be used for soap improvement."

Cheng Yuanxi said frankly, Cheng Dazhu knows, "The child has a heart, let her concentrate on it, and open her mouth if she needs anything; I made a lot of money this time, which should be enough to buy the materials needed for the ritual. ”

"Okay." Cheng Yuanxi nodded happily, their small family has a little silver, but not much; To keep the emergency, the silver earned from selling soap this time must be handed over to the public middle school, which is just to earn silver for the family, and it is normal for the materials and silver needed by Mingyi to come out of the public middle school.

"We've bought everything, it's time for us to go home, you guys push the cart on and go." Cheng Dazhu shouted, and the three brothers of the Cheng family walked to their respective carts, put the carts on their backs and rolled them with ropes, and then pushed the carriage out of the city together.

After the soldiers guarding the gate saw them walk away, someone spoke, "I look very familiar with the people who just went out, they seem to be familiar with the people around King Zhou Shizi." ”

"The people around the prince?"

You immediately grasped the key point with that flexible mind, "So, they have a good relationship with the prince?" ”

"I guess so, who knows."

"That's none of our business, you just have to remember not to offend them; Later, when I saw them coming, I turned a blind eye. ”

They are not doing things that are not good for the northwest, they are doing business at the gates of the city, and they should not see it.

In fact, there are no explicit rules on whether or not you can do business at the city gates.

If the soldiers did not want them to gather at the gates, they would open their mouths to drive them out; If the soldier doesn't open his mouth and can't see it, that's another story.

Walking on the road back to the village, the car followed the traces of the coming, so as not to be submerged in the snow.

Cheng Mingli is small, and Cheng Yuanxi didn't get out of the car if he was willing to push it; Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin are the bosses, so they naturally have to go by themselves.

This trip made money, and they were very excited; The money is visible and can be calculated, and if they do the math carefully, they will know how much money they have.

According to the price of three thousand yuan, that is also thirty taels of silver.

When I was in my hometown, where could I earn thirty taels so easily; The money spent by the family on the way to escape the famine was accumulated little by little by a large family, and there had never been such a large amount of income.

"Third uncle, our soap is so profitable, it can be made for a long time in the future, and the family will have more and more silver; Can we buy more meat to eat? Cheng Mingxin followed Cheng Yuanxi's side, rubbing his stomach, and his hunger still couldn't stop his excitement.

Cheng Minglian's eyes lit up, "If only I could eat meat every day." ”

"Stinky boy, what about dreaming in broad daylight?" Cheng Yuandong glared at his youngest son, if he hadn't pushed a cart in his hand, he would have to raise his hand to give him a look, "Can the family be fed and clothed, but are you not satisfied?" How many people can't even eat, let alone warm clothes; Look at those people in our clan, they live in thatched huts and mud walls, you don't know how much better than them, and they are still greedy. ”

Cheng Yuannan nodded in agreement, and echoed: "It's not! How good our lives are now, with food, clothing, and shelter; Occasionally, you can go into the mountains to hunt, and you can also hunt tooth sacrifices. ”

"Dad, second uncle." Cheng Minglian scratched his head embarrassedly.

Cheng Mingxin lowered his head, he was quite greedy; When escaping from the famine, I wanted to settle down and live a good life, and after I settled down, I wanted to eat and drink well and have meat for a good meal.

Greedy desires seem to never be satisfied.

Cheng Yuanxi doesn't think there is anything, he is a saint when he is alive, he doesn't ask for anything; Only by asking for something in life can you be more motivated and strive for the goals you want.

"If you want to live a good life, work hard; Earn more money, live a good life at home, greed is not terrible, just put greed on the right path. ”

Cheng Yuanxi understands it, just because he is also a person from the past.

When I was young, I had some talent, and I was not proud of reading books; I want to study to get ahead and give my family a good life.

In reality, he is not suitable for officialdom, and even many concepts are very different from those of officialdom at that time; made a big mistake in writing the time theory, and only got a child's fame, not even a showman.
