Xu Tianxin specially entrusted Zhao Dashan with a letter.

Only Zhao Dashan has this ability.

If you were a bystander, you wouldn't know where the gate of the Zhenbei General's Mansion would open, and even if you arrived at the barracks, you wouldn't be able to enter, let alone find someone to deliver the letter.

But at the moment, Zhao Dashan is not at home.

No, Dashan's daughter-in-law is named Hongmei, and she is sending someone out to call Zhao Dashan back, while warmly entertaining Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu didn't understand a little, just give the letter and tissue to Dashan, why did she have to call people back.

She was also afraid of misunderstanding and stayed to eat and explained: "Hongmei, you don't have to be so troublesome, we won't sit for long, the family is just waiting to go back, a bunch of work." It's just a matter of standing here for you, and you're going to stop by the blacksmith on the way home."

Mrs. Xu also told that if it weren't for her granddaughter's stable relationship, she thought that she would have to give a word of approval to reassure people when she took over the sale, otherwise even this letter would not trouble Dashan.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law, Hongmei, said that she had to be called back.

Actually, she did it on purpose.

Her man hadn't been home for days, and she wanted to take the opportunity to call him back.

If she was the only one who was worried about being hungry and cold and letting her go home, Zhao Dashan would be as if she hadn't heard it, and she would look back and count how busy she was, so that she would use these little things less to disturb and cause trouble.

But when the Xu family came, especially Xu Tianxin, Hongmei thought: No matter how busy the child's father is, he will be allowed to come back.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law faced the Xu family, and it can be said that she is now a wise man.

She felt that since that time when she asked her mother-in-law to go to Xu's house, her man not only sent someone to send her mother-in-law back to her hometown overnight, but also quarreled with her. After that day, I didn't talk to her much since.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law still regrets it when she thinks about it today.

When she got home that day, she retorted because her man spoke very badly.

When her man counted her, he said:

If Xu Youtian hadn't saved his life several times, he would have become a pile of white bones a long time ago, and maybe he wouldn't even be eaten by hungry wolves.

Then where did you come from, you can sit at home and be fed and clothed no matter whether the crops are bad or not, no matter the wind and hail outside.

And you, an ordinary woman in the village, what happened when you first married me, and what is it like to go back to your parents' house in the neighborhood now, why don't you know how to be grateful.

She knew that Zhao Dashan originally meant to say, you are from the lowest level of the village, how can you still look down on the same village girl as you, how can you be higher than anyone.

But she was still stimulated by the ordinary woman at that time.

This reminded her that the Zhao family was poor, and Zhao Dashan was not treated well at home, and it was impossible for the Zhao family to give her a man to spend too much money to marry a wife. In this way, she chose a woman who was not outstanding in appearance, and her mother's family was even poorer, and she married back.

And over the years, since Zhao Dashan has the ability, the mother-in-law in the hometown has loved to talk about this, and even her own mother thinks that she is a little unworthy, saying that she is a village girl who has no good looks, and she is too blessed to have nothing, so let her have another heart that quickly envelops a man.

So as soon as those words came out, she was instinctively stimulated and blurted out: That's because the Xu family doesn't have that kind of good life, and I have a good life.

This is considered to have stabbed her man's lung tube, and then why should she conceive another one, her man doesn't touch her at all, and he doesn't like to go home. Husbands and wives can't discuss their sons yet, but what can they discuss when their sons are older? is nothing more than what to do in the future and what kind of wife to marry, which is equivalent to reminding Zhao Dashan of the confusion she once made with her mother-in-law.

To say, thanks to the opening of a deal later, and this pot helmet business was taught by the Xu family's aunt, otherwise there would be no conversation between their husband and wife at night, and they would snore and fall asleep as soon as they turned their heads.

At this time, Mrs. Xu was also reminded by her granddaughter's wink, and then she remembered, hey, I don't have to call it back, so wait, her family still owes Dashan two taels of money.

Listening to Dashan's daughter-in-law, she didn't know what to do with the two taels at all, just waiting to call her back, she secretly returned the silver money to Zhao Dashan, so as not to have a conflict because of the silver money, so as to give it to us quickly

Peace.

"What's going on, business?" Mrs. Xu sat in the hut behind the shop and drank sugar water and asked.

The Zhao family's shop is very narrow, there is a small kang in the backyard and then a table, and there is no place to pile firewood in the yard, so you have to buy charcoal to make scones.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law Hongmei was happy all of a sudden, and she also had this kind of help in her eating and growing wisdom.

Chong trading is so good, she doesn't need Zhao Dashan to remind her in the future, she should be close to the Xu family. Not to mention that the Xu family still seems to know the big officials now.

So she told very sincerely:

"Auntie, thanks to the ideas you gave and the hands-on teaching, I can sell sixty or seventy pot helmets a day when I am short now.

In recent days, people have come and gone in our town, and some of them may have bought food on the way. And guess what? Sometimes there is a queue, and it can be sold for one hundred and thirty or forty.

No, it's just my nephew who can't be busy, my eldest sister and brother-in-law are also here, and the kang behind this is for them to live, and the house is a little messy, don't be disgusted with your aunt and Tian Xin.

What's that, it's called silver, right? Sit down, sister-in-law will go get you some pot helmet mats."

Mrs. Xu stopped: "Hongmei, no, I specially ate it before I came out of Xiangshan."

Their family is becoming more and more free of their own mouths, and they will eat instant noodles when they are in a hurry, and the fourth instant noodles are not enough to eat and they use soup to soak some steamed buns.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law didn't listen, and she was very good at talking, "Is that a matter of hunger? Your old man and Tian Xin have all tasted our cakes, and there is a silver brother who has never eaten his own home."

After Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law left, Mrs. Xu was idle and had nothing to calculate the profits, and a meat pot helmet could be pure and left, so the inconspicuous little shop of the Zhao family could earn five or six taels of silver a month. Not to mention, it has to be a place where people come and go to make money. It's not like they have to wait stupidly for the caravan to come.

When will they also become a business district?

If Mrs. Xu said in her heart, this is not a dream, didn't a celebrity say that? There was no road, but when there were many people walking, it became a road.

When there are more people in their village, it will become a commercial area if they can't prepare for it.

"Milk, do you want to make flour and intestines?"

Mrs. Xu shook her head at her granddaughter, not to mention it, she hasn't had time to make noodles and sausages recently, and she will be able to wholesale 180 at one time when she makes it next time.

"It's also that the weather is still a little too cold now, so I'll wait a few more days. Like sticky bean buns, frozen dumplings, frozen chaos, let your grandmothers in the village make it then."

In this weather, the child's face is cold and fast, maybe after an autumn cold, the leaves in the garden will freeze when they are picked.

When he was talking, he didn't expect Zhao Dashan to come back faster than Hongmei who took the pot helmet.

Zhao Dashan entered the house and asked, "I didn't stay to eat last time, I heard Wangcai and his mother say that you are in a hurry to go home for helping people sell goods, and you must eat at home today." I'll let Wangcai Niang cut a few catties of fat."

What kind of fat meat is cut, the pigs are all wrapped by their old Xu family.

The fat and oil everywhere I went in the past two days, as well as the few taels of pig pancreas on each pig, were all bought by the Xu family, and they also bought a lot of pork.

Mrs. Xu thought to herself: Your niece of the Xu family is more famous than you Zhao Dashan among the pork dealers right now.

"Don't say it's useless, hurry up, these two taels of silver are ready."

Then Mrs. Xu pulled Zhao Dashan and said, "Some of the goods I ordered outside were delivered to my door, and I had to hurry home, for fear that the children would give unknown money. No, I asked you to come back to give you a letter......

At the beginning, Zhao Dashan was not stunned when he saw his mother and daughter-in-law arguing at the Xu family, but now he was completely stunned when he received the letter, and his tone changed a little: "For whom?"

"Jalai, Dashan, do you know each other?"

knows, he knows General Jia, but the other party doesn't know him.

Zhao Dashan turned his head to look at Xu Tianxin in disbelief.

Although he had heard his daughter-in-law mention a big official, he never expected it to be so big.

He thought to himself: niece, you really look down on your uncle, don't look at the people who know the Zhenbei military camp, and he did get the news of the mutual market in advance, but that

It's the cat that has the cat and the mouse has the rat, and it's his comrade-in-arms who happened to do that to know.

But if you let a low-level person like Uncle go and talk to the general, who can be said to be in the top ten, this doesn't even have a chance to think about it. He didn't have the right to get close at all, at most he watched the other party pass by from a distance.

Xu Tianxin saw Zhao Dashan's difficulty, and hesitated: "Otherwise, find a suitable opportunity, and when you see Grandpa Jia Lai passing by, let your friend mention Xu Tianxin and Xu Tianxin, so that you won't be offended." However, if you haven't met in a few days, you don't need to send a letter, because it's all inconsequential."

Zhao Dashan nodded in response. Not to mention, this is really a trick, if General Jia can remember his niece.

Zhao Dashan didn't drag the Xu family to stay for dinner, there happened to be a team of officials going to the border, and he needed to take the letter with him before leaving.

But in the short time they met, Zhao Dashan also said a lot of things.

First, congratulations to Mrs. Xu, this time she really wants to make money, because the road on the other side of the Erdao River is going to be requisitioned.

In the past, because of the war to transport military rations, this road was only used to transport military rations in order to be fast.

Later, after the battle, the county government and the town still did not allow the use to be blocked in order to facilitate management.

If a village like the other side of the Erdao River wants to go to the county capital, it must go around two hours to the town and cross the city gate.

Zhao Dashan informed: "This time, I heard that you will set up checkpoints for a long time, and you must have seen a large number of officials or generals passing by recently. It has not yet been determined who will be responsible for the specific level. If it were to be managed by the town's officials, I would have gone if I didn't do it. I've heard that it's a sure thing to put up a sign."

Xu Tianxin: "......" The best street sign is made of wood from their village, and when the time comes, advertise on the sign, just write how many miles ahead, and welcome you to Erdaohe Xujia Restaurant.

And the second news told by Zhao Dashan was not good, he reminded Mrs. Xu, once it is opened, don't look at your identity as farmers, those shops in Erdaohe still have to pay taxes. It is not called a commercial tax, because it is not a businessman, it is called a door tax.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xu has been mentally prepared, as long as she doesn't go too far, it's okay to pay taxes normally.

After all, they have taken a big advantage by converting their wasteland into houses, and they still used Wang Laoba as a threat to be released from prison, but they must be clear in writing so that they have no worries.

Otherwise, Liu Laozhu has a good brain on this matter, otherwise the current wasteland will be difficult to choke on when it is converted into a house, and it is easy to say clearly.

Zhao Dashan walked out, and the third news revealed was about Wangjia Village: "Wang Lizheng is dead, saying that he was drowned by the rupture of the Fa Dashui Bridge, and the county government replied like this. At present, Wangjiagou Village is an old team leader in charge. Auntie, your village and Zhenting have a half-red face, and the day before yesterday, Zhenting said something like this, wanting Wangjiagou Village and your village to be together."

Once together, Zhenting will definitely re-elect a confidant.

The shops of the aunt's family will also be pinched in the hands of Xinli, that is, in the hands of Zhenting.

Mrs. Xu was angry sitting on the ox cart, she couldn't care to sigh that Wang Lizheng was so dead?

Just scolded with one mind, why are these little ghosts so difficult? I didn't earn a penny together, so I was worried about the filial piety of the shops in their village.

"No way, we pay the taxes normally, let us do whatever we want, this time the big water house collapsed, our village didn't come to ask for a bowl of food, and deliberately hid away and worried about biting us a bite of meat. He said that the merger is a merger? A village with a population of more than 2,000 has to set up a new town, I think it's good, let's choose a town pavilion by ourselves. It's all stinking and shameless, and I'm not afraid that no one in our two villages will be convinced and torn together. provoked the fuss, and even the town pavilion made a fuss to the door, scolding all his thoughts, so that he had nowhere to start."

Zhao Dashan comforted Mrs. Xu: "It's not up to him alone, there is still me in this place in the town, and if I can't do it, I can still find the county office." Auntie, after the road is opened, as long as your village is famous, the more famous you are, the more careful the town will be."

Look at the two truckloads of goods in his aunt, when did his niece learn to drive a car?

Zhao Dashan felt that he could congratulate him in advance on the fragrance of cooking with his aunt.

He had a hunch, Xu

The family is blessed by Brother Arita and the spirit of heaven, and it will only get better and better.

Zhao Dashan's daughter-in-law once again threw herself out quite far, especially in front of her man.

I stuffed ten pot helmets and two catties of caramel candy, and I carried a bag of bud rice leaves and stuffed it into the car.

"What's in the bag?" Zhao Dashan was puzzled.

Hongmei waved her hand to Mrs. Xu, who was drifting away, and said, "My aunt mentioned that she wanted to wrap some food jelly with bud rice leaves, and I saved the leaves for her."

Zhao Dashan wanted to leave directly, but remembered that Wang Cainiang also knew how to give her niece a sweet rod last time, and suddenly said, "That's right, even if it's cheap and expensive, just help with your heart, and don't let you spend much money." In the future, I won't need you to take money, I'm afraid that our family can't compare. Give, these two taels of silver, someone else will pay me back, you can take it."

Hongmei: You see, it's good to the Xu family, and her man really responded immediately. Xi Zizi put the money in his pocket.

And Mrs. Xu didn't go out of the city directly after they left, and went to the blacksmith shop to order clocks and watches first.

It can't be called a clock, and the accurate name here should be called a leak, but after being changed by Xu Tianxin's custom gear strips and screws, it will become a water clock. The dripping of water turns the clock, and the dial reads the hours.

"How many taels of silver?" Mrs. Xu asked the blacksmith in disbelief, just a few screws and small gears don't cost five taels of silver to buy a pot, which costs a few dollars in modern times:

"Isn't this a mortise and tenon? My son made the cabinet with it, and just made it iron, why do you dare to ask for so much silver?"

The blacksmith handed the paper to Mrs. Xu: "Look at how many lines your granddaughter has drawn, I will be half blind after doing it yesterday."

Mrs. Xu looked at the thread so that she didn't squeak, no machine is all manual and expensive.

Mrs. Xu also knows that children are not spending money indiscriminately, but it depends on the time to make soap and boil.

Can't her granddaughter help keep the time at the end of the day without doing anything, sometimes people are not there, so what can the twenty girls do?

In addition, with this water clock standing outside, it can also be convenient for the caravan to watch the hour, and we can't beat the gong in the middle of the night like there is a watch in the town.

"Milk, you'll earn it back."

"That designated, you can't afford to make more money than me, spend, and my grandmother didn't say it didn't cost money." It's just a shock to the price.

With the return of Mrs. Xu Tianxin from the second outing, Erdaohe Village became hot again after robbing the river and stealing fish.

This made the people from the other villages look sideways and ask in wonder: When you are working, someone squeaks you?

No, I don't.

Then why do you work and everyone has a smile on their faces?

Because we're making money!

It is also said that Xu Tianxin's name came out, and it is said that she was very arrogant at a young age, because she made the boss's water clock, and the ticking water can make people understand the time. She also took twenty girls to earn money together.

These rumors provoked Bai Yihai, a talented person in the Bai family, to deliberately put down the books and follow his father to Erdaohe Village to decorate the shop.
