Cheng Mingyi shook his head, nodded again, and his head was shaky.

"Grandmother, I don't know, anyway, it was given by the third uncle."

Luo Cuihua opened two oil-paper packets, which contained roasted whole lamb and steak; It's been left outside for too long, not to mention the heat, and it's still frozen.

"Then it's hot first, the third one, come over and heat it up; The old family's washing dishes and chopsticks, the second family came to help, the Wang family and the Zhang family washed and chopped vegetables, let's have another meal today. Luo Cuihua didn't ask anymore, and she couldn't ask her grandson.

She guessed two possibilities, one was that the third son bought it, however, she had heard them say that the whole roasted sheep was sold in Fucheng only at night; Another possibility is that it was sent by the prince of Zhou, which is the most likely.

The kitchen is quite spacious, but a few more of them have become cramped.

Luo Cuihua said with disgust: "You guys go out, don't get in the way here." ”

"Grandmother?!" Cheng Mingxin was incredulous.

Cheng Minglian was stunned, and then said: "We are disgusted by our grandmother? ”

"Isn't it normal to dislike you?" Cheng Mingyi replied to his younger brother, and then said, "Second cousin, let's go, let's go find the little cousin." ”

"Okay."

Cheng Mingzhi didn't care about the two cousins and left with the lobby brother.

As soon as they left, Cheng Minglian and Cheng Mingxin shouted, "Brother/Brother Lobby, Second Cousin wait for us." ”

Before the words fell, the person had already rushed out of the kitchen, leaving Luo Cuihua alone to shake her head and sigh softly, what is going on!

"Two stinky boys, they don't know the key point, they are yelling."

Li Lianhua and Feng Juhua laughed, they also felt that their son was ashamed, but they gave birth to it.

Chen Daya transferred the warm food in the innermost cauldron to the pot on the middle stove, mixed water into the cauldron, and put the steamer; Steak and roast whole lamb are put in.

"Second sister-in-law, this pot inside is burning hot; After a while, the outside pot will stir-fry, and when the dish is cooked, the inside of the pot will also be hot. ”

"Got it." Feng Juhua bypassed them and went to light the fire.

Wang's and Zhang's lowered their heads to wash vegetables, cut vegetables, and the kitchen was busy.

Cheng Mingyi took his brothers to Canghai Garden, and Cheng Yuanxi and Cheng Mingli were chatting with Mingyi; After Cheng Mingli finished talking about what he had seen in Fucheng, Cheng Yuanxi glanced at Cheng Mingyi and the others walked to the door, and swallowed what he wanted to say when he came to his mouth.

Turning his head to look at the four of them, "Why are you here?" ”

Cheng Mingyi and the others walked into the courtyard with smiles on their faces and sat down in the pavilion where they were.

In the center of the gazebo is a stone table and stone bench, surrounded by wooden hanging benches.

"Third uncle, let's have a little cousin."

"You're here to talk to Mingyi about developing soap, right?" The faint voice makes people unable to hear the emotion.

Cheng Mingyi and Cheng Mingzhi's hearts bulged, remembering the teachings they had received on the road, and they knew that it was inappropriate for them to come here at this time.

"Third uncle, we're in a hurry."

"Hmm." Cheng Yuanxi felt a little better, if he pretended not to know as always, he would suspect that a few nephews were pretending to be stupid, "The matter of developing soap will be talked about at dinner, Yiyi will go to the front hall with us; Dad bought a lot of soap horns and came back, what should I do to get a charter. ”

Mingyi looked at her father, then at the other brothers, and bowed her head slightly, "Okay, let's walk." ”

Cheng Mingli got up regretfully, his buttocks had just been hot, and he was about to move his nest again.

Cheng Yuanxi lifted the basket and took them out of Canghai Garden and went to the first courtyard; This courtyard is divided into large houses, and they are not separated now, but share a house. If the family is separated, the necessary road can be blocked, and the doors of each courtyard can be opened again.

"The third child is here, come and sit; Yiyi also came, this time our soap sold very well, Yiyi is a great hero of our family. Cheng Dazhu beckoned to Mingyi, his expression full of love.

Mingyi stepped forward with his father and elder brother, and watched his father sit in the position where his grandfather started, and his brother naturally sat with his father; As soon as she walked up to her grandfather, she was placed in her father's upper position by her grandfather.

This seat used to be used by my grandmother.

She was busy going down, but was stopped by Cheng Dazhu, "Sit with peace of mind, you came just to talk about soap making in the future, and let your brother learn more with you; In the future, you don't have to work so hard, just leave the soap-making work to your brothers. ”

Cheng Yuanxi frowned slightly, slightly repulsed in his heart; The father's words seem to be thinking about Mingyi, but he is actually thinking about his grandchildren.

Under the banner of being good for his daughter, the words he said made people feel uncomfortable.

"Dad, we just came back, why rush? It's never too late to talk about it after you've eaten it. ”

Cheng Dazhu looked at his youngest son twice, the smile in his eyes did not decrease, and he followed his words: "Also, your cousins have been very knowledgeable this time, and all the soap they brought out has been sold; Tomorrow, we will take all the rest of the family away, and our family will have another income. ”

"That's a good thing." Mingyi nodded.

Cheng Mingyi said with a smile: "Little cousin, it's a pity that you didn't go to Fucheng, those people saw that the soap was easy to use, it was a robbery; It happened that a few days after the opening of the market in Fucheng, there were not many people on the street. When the city is lively, our soap can be sold better. ”

"What do you think, as soon as Fucheng is lively, it's not certain whether soap is sold by our family." Cheng Yuanxi was sober-minded and was not carried away by the current little success.

However, others are not sober, and a big sale makes them feel as if they have seen a big sale every day in the future.

Cheng Yuanxi's cold water splashed just right, Mingyi smiled faintly at this, lowered his head and hid his smile.

Cheng Mingyi and the others stiffened their smiles, and Cheng Mingli diverted the topic to play a round.

"Grandfather, this time we sold thirty taels of silver, how much is left besides buying soap?"

"Good boy, you reminded grandfather that the money has not been counted." Cheng Dazhu smiled lovingly, and then turned to his sons and grandsons, "Take out the money you earned, and count it on the spot; Later, I will hand it over to your mother for safekeeping, and make an account on the spot. ”

A large family, it is easy to confuse everyone's consciousness if they do not set up accounts; What is the most taboo thing for a large family? The most taboo is that everyone thinks that I have contributed the most, and I always have resentment and can't recognize myself.

In this way, it is easy to consume the affection between siblings.

Cheng Yuandong and the others took out the silver in their respective pockets and scraped together, a total of 32 taels and 400 yuan.

More than 3,000 pieces of soap, except for the copper plates for buying soap horns and lard oil, there were 32,204 hundred dollars left; This income is very high in ordinary people's homes, and the savings are enough for a large family to live for four or five years.

"Today all the silver is here, and you all go out to help sell it, and a house is divided into a tael of silver as the cost of hard work; After that, you need to play Fucheng from time to time, and every time you come back, a part of the income will be rewarded to you. ”
