Chapter Ninety-Five: Niu Changshui
Compared to the toilet, the bathtub and shower are not so sensational, and the various wooden bath tubs are also very useful.
But how could Zhongqinbo let the rich go so easily?
This leather recliner is connected to a ceramic washbasin, with a small nozzle, the tank is filled with hot water, and the nozzle is turned on, lying down for the girl to wash her hair.
For the ladies, it's the gospel. Little girls, as long as they are careful, they can wash their hair without water in their eyes.
Ladies with long hair, washing their hair is a very troublesome thing for them, and they keep their heads down and don't pay attention to the water in their eyes.
The girls have better skills, and they can also massage the scalp and shoulders and neck, and the family version of the massage recliner Ah, the name of Zhongqinbo has entered many noble and wealthy families.
The bathtub with a white tank has a secret door at the bottom, which can be opened directly after soaking in the bath to let the water out, and a hot and cold faucet is installed on the left and right, which can adjust the water temperature by itself, and the ladies feel that this can be had.
If you don't like to take a bath, learn about the shower of the ceramic nozzle, many men like this, and they can take a combat bath, which is very convenient, isn't it?
The Holy Empress Dowager complained to her confidant mother: "Just tell me, people were born in mud legs before, where did they enjoy these, but what kind of things made by others have not been enjoyed by rich people?" ”
"Such a person with no foundation, you haven't won it for so long, what use do you want?" The more she talked about it, the more angry she became, and she dropped a cup of tea!
In the workshop, Hu Sanniu was also taken by Heiwa to do development, Hu Yiniu and Hu Erniu really had no interest in this thing, they were still happy to deal with leather goods, and Heiwa had to bring the third brother-in-law.
The brick kiln has now trained a number of skilled workers, and Zhao Xiucai's son Zhao Qingshan was invited back to be the big shopkeeper of the brick kiln.
After discussing with the emperor, Heiwa took the new workshop of Dali Village as the Daxia Royal Ceramics R&D Center, and he himself served as the general consultant of R&D, with an annual salary of 30,000 taels, and Hu Sanniu also got an assistant to prepare, and he was 1,000 taels per year.
Since it is a research and development center, the emperor requires that at least two new products be produced every year, and he does not have to take care of production and sales.
After the royal took over the R&D center, the security measures were raised to a higher level, there were 500 guards inside and outside the workshop, outsiders could not easily enter, and Heiwa also had 50 guards to and from work.
He also assigned 20 craftsmen to Zhongqinbo from the Ministry of Industry, and the entire R&D center, plus miscellaneous people, is worth 40 people.
Xia Hongdi knew that many people were fighting Zhong Qinbo's idea, and if he didn't make a move, others would think he was temperless.
I didn't expect my complaint to be so good, Cuihua and his wife will be a lot more down-to-earth, who is not irritable when they see someone touching porcelain every day, and now with the free security of the public, they are all happy!
Shudi, Qingxian, Qiaotou Town, Hei San, the escort sent by the Yuan Mansion to find people, with two brothers, is living in the only inn in the town.
It has only been more than a year since the catastrophe, and Shu has gradually recovered, but the population of the town is not much, and the people who do business on market days are sparse, and there are not many shops on the streets.
Hei San asked the owner of the inn: "Shopkeeper, our master is also from Shudi, he escaped from the famine in the year of the drought, and he has some ways to do business, and he wants to come back to inquire about his old family, I don't know if anyone knows the people in Daqingshan, a downstream village?" ”
The innkeeper looked at the young man dressed as a housekeeper, and estimated that this fellow villager should have made a fortune, and he also replied with a good temper:
"This distinguished guest, my family only settled in this town this year, we have heard of Daqingshan you said, but we have to find someone to help you ask."
"Then thank you to the store, if there is someone who is familiar with the mountain, there will be a big thanks, if there is no familiarity, there is someone who knows how to go, please lead the way, of course, it will not be a disadvantage to lead the way."
Hei San said, and stuffed a small silver ingot for the shopkeeper, who happily accepted it and immediately went out to help him inquire.
It wasn't until an hour later that the shopkeeper brought in an old man, dressed in tatters, with unkempt hair and a smell of sweat on his body, and he pulled the corners of his clothes very uncomfortably, and looked at everyone worriedly.
Hei Sanmian didn't change his color, and asked: "Old man, we want to go to Er'e Mountain in Daqing Mountain, I don't know if you know?" ”
The old man nodded: "I know, I know, my family lives in the upper village, not far from that mountain." ”
Hei San, who was told all about the geography of his hometown by Heiwa, heard the familiar name of the village, and hurriedly asked: "Old man, is your family a local?" ”
The old man shook his head: "The people in several villages near us are dead, running and running, where are there any locals, we only moved here last year, and now there are few locals in this town." ”
The innkeeper echoed: "Yes, yes, guest officer, we are all from other places, and it took us half a month to get here!" Several towns in the vicinity are not far away. ”
Hei San and the others were dumbfounded at each other, it seems that it is difficult to find the old family of the uncle's family.
A few people rented a mule cart, took the old man, and went to the upper village to explore the way first.
The fields are full of greenery, and when it rains in the spring, the farmers who have migrated to the county have been given land, and rice has been planted nine times out of ten, and the popularity is slowly recovering.
The upstream village, which used to form a mortal enmity with the downstream village, is now also inhabited by migrants, all of whom are strangers, and the two villages are close to each other, so everyone gets along quite well.
I found a family in the upper village to borrow it for one night, and the next day the old man took Hei San and them into the mountain.
Daqingshan and Xiaoqingshan were burned by the mountain fire that year, and the grass and wood ash raised the soil in the mountain to fatten, and the weeds grew vigorously.
The new county magistrate also asked the villagers of the two villages to plant saplings on the two mountains, some of which were already more than one person tall, and in another fifty years, Daqingshan and Xiaoqingshan would be able to return to their former appearance.
It took more than two hours to climb to the top of Er'e Mountain, the former farm yard has long been dilapidated, and the top of the mountain is just such a family, needless to say, this must be Niu Damei's mother's house.
Entering the courtyard gate, everyone was surprised to find that there were still people in this courtyard drying clothes, and there were traces of life!
After knocking on the courtyard door for a long time, the closed door opened, and two little heads poked out, one looked at the little boy who looked eight or nine years old, and the other looked at the little girl who was five or six years old.
"Who are you? Where to find, which one? His voice trembled a little, and he was still secretly calm.
Hei San hurriedly replied: "We came to find Niu Laoqiang's family, we were invited by Niu Laoqiang's daughter Niu Damei, I don't know if you know Niu Laoqiang?" ”
The little girl's eyes lit up with surprise: "Brother, it's aunt, it's aunt!" ”
The little boy glared at her, and said to Hei San and the others, "Why do we believe you? ”
Hei San didn't expect that it was the two children who came to deal with them, so he had to say patiently: "We came all the way to find you, not relatives, who can know this?" Call your adults back, and you'll find it clear when you ask. ”
Of course, the eldest sister Niu still gave the names of everyone in the family, Hei San's memory is not bad, and said: "Your aunt gave us the name of your family, and you also have a milk in your family, Niu Laoqiang's eldest son is called Niu Zhuzi, and the second son is called Niu Zhuzi, Niu Zhuzi has two babies, and Niu Zhuzi's family has three babies, do you think it's right?" ”
After listening to Hei San's words, the little boy thought about it for a while, and finally believed it, lowered his head and said: "My family is all dead, and now I and my sister are left, and Sister Niu is indeed our aunt." ”
Although I had expected that most of the people who stayed in my hometown would not have good news, the adults of this eldest sister's mother's family were too miserable, and ten people died.
After the three of them entered the courtyard, the little boy, the little guy named Niu Changshui, explained his family situation to everyone.
Because his grandmother did not agree to flee the famine, Niu Laoqiang could only take his wife and two sons and his family to hide on Er'e Mountain to live, but the victims were hungry, and the mountain became a hunting ground, and there was a conflict with their family.
That night, he took his sister Niu Xi'er to dig wild vegetables in the mountains, got lost, and came back in the middle of the night, and when they entered the yard, they found that all the family members had been killed, all the food and money were gone, and even the clothes of the dead were stripped off.
"My sister and I didn't dare to live at home, we hid in the cave for half a month, my father and mother and their bodies were stinking, and we watched those victims leave the mountain before .....coming back."
"I took Xi'er to dig a pit and bury the family, woo, that group of people is so terrible, we don't dare to go down the mountain, most of the time we live in the cave, my grandfather used to put a lot of salt and pots and bowls in the cave...."
"Digging grass roots and cooking wild vegetables to eat, and learning to hunt prey, it took half a year to come back home, this year the court sent us a lot of relief food, and Xi'er and I ate...."
Niu Changshui cried while talking, the two babies looked thin and skinny, and their hands were like chicken paws, it turned out that he was ten years old, and Niu Xi'er was also seven years old.
Hei San told them about the escape process of the people in the downstream villages, and now the group has settled in the villages near the capital.
Niu Changshui asked curiously: "Now that there is no famine, why didn't my aunt's family come back, now there are more prey on the mountain, and I can eat my stomach." ”
Hei San had to say: "The land in the capital is more fertile, your aunt's family is now eating white flour steamed buns, and your uncle's family has also opened a leather goods store, and life is good, so let's pick you up and go to the capital." ”
Niu Changshui listened to him say so carefully, explained everyone in the Hu family, and completely believed them.
There is nothing to clean up in this house, and I found out the household registration of the family, and I need to go to the county to change the way, so I took Xi'er with my bare hands and followed Hei San and them.
gave the old man who led the way a five-tael silver ingot, and the old man was so happy that he couldn't find the north, this Hu family is amazing, this is developed in the capital.
In Qingxian, Hei San personally went to the county government to change the road, and the two entourages asked the innkeeper to give the two children bath water, let them clean themselves, and buy suitable clothes for them to change into.
The county magistrate of Qingxian County received the post from the Zhongqin Uncle's Mansion, and he was shocked, where did they come from in a poor and remote area.
Meet with Hei Sanyi, and after listening to Hei San's introduction, hey, be good! Zhongqinbo turned out to be from Qingxian County! He has also heard of this person, who doesn't know this cement, this is the new emperor's favorite, that's really an honor!
The county master has just been in office for more than a year, and he doesn't have enough understanding of the local forces, so he just moved the mountain people everywhere to farm, and he was very happy to let the master open the way for Niu Changshui and Niu Xi'er brothers and sisters, and he was kind to Hei Sanla.
Hei San also took the opportunity to learn about the current situation in Qingxian County, and even checked the household registration of the downstream village, and there really was not a single family in the original place of origin that was still alive, and it was all occupied by the new migrant households.
Really, another country is a hometown!
