Yao Nian looked up and saw that it was Zhang Yu's child.

"I've brought something for you." Zhang Yu ran in, with a puff of heat on his body.

He spread his hands out, and in a gray handkerchief, two black lumps lay silently.

"What is this?" Yao Nian's voice was a little hoarse.

"Sugar, brown sugar, you can taste it quickly." Zhang Yu saw that she was wrinkled and looked very uncomfortable, and hurriedly pushed the thing over, looking at her expectantly.

"Where did you get such a rare thing?" Chun Tao curiously leaned over to take a look.

There is no shortage of meat or water on this grassland, but there is a lack of sugar and salt, and only the rich and noble families in the city can afford to eat it, and the price is also very expensive.

Zhang Yu smiled shyly, "I exchanged something else for someone." ”

"Yao Nian, you can taste it quickly, although it is not a good sugar, I have never eaten it." He urged again.

Yao Nian pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, with a slight bitterness in his mouth, and it was sweet after a while.

I don't know if it's a mental effect, the disgusting taste was miraculously suppressed, and the throat was filled with a hint of sweetness.

"Thank you, Zhang Yu." Yao Nian thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Yu waved his hand embarrassedly, "Thank you, they're all friends, do you still feel uncomfortable?" ”

Yao Nian shook his head, "Thanks to your sugar, otherwise I would have been uncomfortable for a while." ”

"That's good, then you have a good rest, I'll go herd the sheep, goodbye." He waved his hand and walked out.

When he went out, he happened to come in with a pot of soil, and the place where he was digging was far away, and he walked back after walking for a long time, tired and sweaty.

Putting the pot containing the soil on the ground, he touched the sweat on his forehead and said, "Yao Nian, you see, this is the clayiest soil I have found." ”

He stretched out his hand again and took a handful of soil and pinched it, "It hasn't rained much in the past few days, and its adhesion is quite good, if it is in the water, it will definitely be more sticky." ”

Yao Nian leaned over and looked at it, but the adhesion was very good, and the soil was clean, so the steps of sieving were omitted.

"Dry the soil first and then smash it, remember to smash it very much, preferably the powder kind, and then mix it with water and knead it into a clod of soil and put it into a mold to shape."

Yao Nian told him little by little about the steps of burning bricks, "Build a brick kiln first, and then remove the formed bricks and put them in to burn." ”

Da Da also listened very carefully, "Okay, where is the brick kiln going to be built?" Why don't you get a small one first, try it first, and then build a big one? ”

"Just stay close to the place where there is no one upstream, try to stay away from the crowd, and it will definitely be very smoky when it burns." Yao Nian thought for a while and said.

Thinking of making a mold for bricks, Yao Nian gestured with him twice, "It's good to make the wooden blocks into a rectangular frame, don't be too big, make a few more, don't forget to smooth the inside of the frame." ”

"Okay, I remember, I'll take someone over and try it now." He nodded, and went out with his things again.

It was almost night, and Ouyang Jin and Chen Qian came back.

came back with him, as well as Zhang Guobai.

"Yao Nian, how do you feel when you wake up? Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable with? As soon as Ouyang Jin entered the door, he hurriedly came over and sat next to Yao Nian and asked.

"I'm fine." Yao Nian looked at him with a smile, and his eyes touched Zhang Guobai, who was behind him, his face pale, and he said politely, "Why is the village chief coming back?" ”

With a meaningful sentence, Zhang Guobai's face was even more embarrassed, he opened his mouth to explain something, but Ouyang Jin didn't give him a chance.

"People don't say that they didn't make trouble, and we don't have any evidence, so they were put back!" Ouyang Jin is yin and yang.

"The village chief should please go back, don't come here in the future, we don't welcome you here." Yao Nian's face was expressionless, but his eyes were surprisingly cold.

She also beckoned to Chun Tao, "Chun Tao, go and bring the package I got back from the city that day." ”

Chun Tao nodded and flipped the package out.

"Here are the thirty taels of silver that I owed the village chief last time." Yao Nian took out thirty taels and motioned for Chun Tao to hand over the things.

"I have already paid off the money, and I ask the village chief to send the IOU, and don't let the cattle herding village come to us without permission in the future." Yao Nian sneered, "Otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”

Zhang Guobai took the thirty taels of silver, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he was very helpless, after all, it was the people from their village who made trouble first, so he could only nod.

"I see, I'll tell them when I get back, so they don't bother you anymore."

"Hmm." Yao Nian snorted very coldly, "From now on, I won't come back and forth, and I also hope that no one from your cattle herding village will come out with any more moths, and it's best not to ask for it, we won't help." ”

His hands tightened, his head hung down, and he said his goodbye and left.

"Phew!" Ouyang Jin snorted at his back, rolled his eyes and said, "It should be like this to them, the people in Cattle Farming Village are too arrogant, and this village is also very chicken thieves, if Chen Qian hadn't stopped me, I would have beaten him!" ”

Chen Qian, who was standing on the side, said coldly when he heard this, "He's so big, you can't beat him at all." ”

Ouyang Jin choked and glared at him fiercely, "Then won't you help me?" ”

"I can help you."

"Then you still say, I don't believe that two people can't beat one of them."

"Possibly..."

The two of them exchanged words one by one.

Yao Nian pinched his eyebrows and interrupted them helplessly, "Okay, stop arguing, has this matter been handled?" ”

"It's dealt with, the county magistrate didn't want to care about our affairs, but as soon as he heard your name, he immediately arrested Qu Rou and the man, as well as Yu Lanhua and a few old women, and put them in prison."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Jin slapped his thigh and sat down, very proud, "You don't know, Qu Rou's dead woman still wants to beat her upside down, and Yu Lanhua's old woman, she wants to make trouble unreasonably and annoys the county order, so she will let her go." ”

"That county magistrate was really annoyed by their arguing, and he didn't want to care about this matter at all, and then I reported your Yao Nian's name, and his face changed instantly, and he locked people in without saying a word."

Ouyang Jin couldn't stop laughing, "You didn't see Qu Rou and Yu Lanhua's faces, they were worse than the rotten cabbage on the ground, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, richer than the color palette." ”

Yao Nian also smiled, and put down a guard in her heart, she couldn't kill Qu Rou, but by putting Qu Rou in prison, she could stop for a while.

Thinking of something, Yao Nian said seriously, "I plan to stop interacting with the people of Cattle Farming Village, and I am going to pull a courtyard wall and make us a village by ourselves, so that they will not come to disturb us again, Ouyang Jin, you can give our village a good name." ”
