"I'm here to deliver fish to the shop, Mu Gongzi, don't worry about them, let's get off."

This is the first time Jiubao has sat on a dog to climb the plow, and it is also the first time for Huo Yunqian to sit on the plow.

The feeling is quite fresh, needless to say.

Just for now.

After Mrs. Xu waved her hand, the three women who had just asked who they were, sat on the small climbing plow, smiled and waved their hands, and said, "Always decide, let's go."

The three women sat in front of the plough, and there were no animals pulling their feet, only that there might be pulleys at the bottom, and then each of them carried a basket behind them, and with two sticks in both hands, the small plough would slide out far away.

This is the means of transportation for transporting goods in Erdaohe Village in winter.

Jiubao asked Xu Tianxin in a low voice: "Have those businessmen from other places ever sat on a climbing plow?" They'll wonder if we can still use this in the Northland. ”

Xu Tianxin pinned the whip to his waist and told:

"Yes, the children in our village have had snowball fights with them.

Moreover, there is no ice track on the road into the village, so it is not very fast.

Later, I will lead Gongzi and you towards the river, and you will be able to see that there is a special ice road on that side, and you can slide down without the help of any livestock.

Do you know about slides? It happens to be downhill on that side.

The first time you play, you'll scream all the way down and slide down.

So we people in the village, go to the shop and walk the snow trail, and come back from that side. ”

Xu Tianxin remembered that a young merchant in the field had asked, in addition to the dog climbing the plow, what else do you Northeast people use to pull your feet, and then rubbing the bath uncle said nonsense, the snow is small, and the snow is big enough to let you ride the Siberian tiger. As a result, people believed that they had Siberian tigers and blind bears on their trips.

Xu Tianxin laughed twice when he thought of this, and told Jiubao Geqi and a few of them.

This may be the reason why even the romance of the north is rough.

Hot ondols, spirits, and snowdrifts that reach the calf height can be seen everywhere.

A few people walked behind Huo Yunqian, laughing and parking, touching the fur of the big dogs, Xu Tianxin didn't see Huo Yunqian looking back at her, and then at the house that was blown up.

But Mrs. Xu found this look.

Mrs. Xu pointed to the house of Guan Er's bald family, as well as the courtyard wall of Da'ezi's house next to it, and introduced: "Yes, this is it."

smiled at Huo Yunqian again and whispered:

"At that time, there was a thunderclap, and I didn't expect the general to come to the countryside today.

It's also a great value for money to blow up.

And you can rest assured, although our family treasure can spend money, but this money for building a house has already been prepared, and we will start to make up for it as soon as spring next year. ”

Well, it's going to fix the house for the fellows.

Huo Yunqian also remembered the house on the side of the mountain in the barracks that was bombed by Xu Tianxin.

Next year, the camp will also need to build a house.

"Childe, please."

"Hmm."

"Childe, you see the house of the person hanging the wooden sign right now, this is the house of the shop that can't live and entertains the merchants of the mutual market."

It is written on the wooden plaque, the eldest cousin, the third cousin, the fourth uncle, the fifth aunt, and the sixth cousin.

The guests asked each other about the conversation:

"Whose house do you live in?"

"I live in my uncle's house in the village."

There are fifteen in total.

At this time, Huo Yunqian came to the house of his fourth uncle.

Look at the red double happiness posted on the wall.

After entering the house, several wooden basins are stacked on the wooden shelves for guests to wash their faces. There is a urine bucket with a lid on the ground.

There was also a long table with wooden stools by the window, on which were neatly arranged a dozen wooden water glasses and a candlestick.

He looked at the quilts stacked on the kang again, and even the walls were covered with children's calligraphy paper, and nodded with satisfaction.

I can feel that this is the best hospitality for the people in the village to the traders in the mutual market under the current situation.

Jiubao visited in the back and also said to Xu Tianxin: "The accommodation environment in your village is much better than the Datong shop in the town. ”

Xu Tianxin informed: "But only these fifteen houses in our village can vacate the house to entertain guests, and there are no extra rooms. Converted to the number of caravanserans, it means that a maximum of three caravans can be entertained at the same time. If a new caravan comes in, we will refuse. ”

The situation is here, and sometimes the money delivered to the front of you cannot be earned.

Jiubao thought to himself: In fact, there are not enough places to live in the town's inns and big car shops, which is the phenomenon caused by the sudden announcement of the mutual market news and insufficient preparation.

are waiting, waiting for the spring to dig the foundation and build a house.

I heard that some caravans arrived in the town, and when they saw that inns and big car shops were in short supply, they simply rented a house with a yard.

Ordinary people secretly ask guests to live at home, but they can earn some family. I'm afraid that in the long run, there will be many problems.

"How do you charge for accommodation in your village?"

"At the beginning, the preparation was insufficient, which was equivalent to entering the village to deal with the overnight and confiscating the money. Only silver money for eating and bathing is collected. It was only a while ago that I started to write ten papers. ”

As of now, there are a total of ten caravans in Erdaohe Village, and the accommodation has not yet been returned. After all, the initial investment in bedding and needlework are all costs.

And among these fifteen families, there are still three families who owe money to the Xu family.

No, Mrs. Xu was also whispering to Huo Yunqian to inquire how many teams would come to this group of inter-market vendors.

The old lady thought that it was more accurate to ask anyone than to ask the news, so she would ask with her mouth.

She hadn't thought about such a big official, and under normal circumstances, she wouldn't answer such a small question.

"Thirty-eight teams." Huo Yunqian gave Zhun Xin'er instead.

Until March, that is, before the fifteenth day of the first month, this number of teams will come.

The imperial court and the foreign country decided to hand over the goods of the two parties on February 2. This is the first delivery.

After March next year, the number of troops will increase more than three times that of the current one throughout the year, and the Zhenbei Army will need to transport salt and pots three times next year, let alone the year after next. On average, more than a dozen caravans arrive in the Northland every month.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard the music, it was good, it means that there are more than 20 teams, which will be in place one after another before March.

Even if half of the situation of passing through the Erdao River is removed, these fifteen families will be able to earn a small two taels of silver by removing the cost of bedding and other costs of hospitality and accommodation by March.

Jiubao asked Xu Tianxin in the back: "Is this all girl's bag from your family?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Tianxin to answer, Mrs. Xu turned her head and smiled: "How is it possible." This kind of money, everyone in our village has discussed it, and it will not be earned. After all, we have other ways to make money. And the strong and laborers in the village will not earn it. These fifteen hospitality merchants are all old people in the village who can't do anything, so let them earn it. ”

Jiubao was curious: "Grandma Xu, why is this?" ”

Thought your family would become all sorts of big bosses behind the scenes.

Like this accommodation, your family will earn half of it.

"Because there is such a saying, the first rich drive the latter to become rich, our village does not allow it, only a few families are so rich that they are hungry, and the poorest people below are starving to death. What's that for? Everyone is a little bit dirty, and this is also conducive to the stability of the village. ”

Mrs. Xu smiled again and waved her hand and continued: "Don't hide it from you, our goal in Erdaohe Village is that after the Ming Dynasty earns money, every family can go shopping in the town. I don't want to leave anyone behind. Whoever stews meat doesn't want a bunch of children squatting at the door to smell it. I hope that after this mutual market, if you can't afford to eat more, you can still afford to cut at least one and a half catties of meat. ”

Just as a few people were talking, the fourth aunt came with a bowl of sugar water on crutches, and Xu Tianxin had to drink it.

also grabbed Mrs. Xu's arm and said, "Always in charge, I owe you money for cotton cloth, and I have to entertain you for two more nights to make it up." ”

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "What do you do when you say this in front of the guests, how can you see me mention money one at a time, I'm not in a hurry." And I've asked the adults today, there are still more than twenty caravans that have not arrived, and the days when you earn money for your family are ahead. ”

"Huh? There are more than twenty more, that's great. ”

Huo Yunqian heard this conversation, and his mood was a little complicated.

For military generals, only when the court is dumb and the officials are greedy for life and afraid of death, they will choose to compromise and use materials for temporary stability.

But I have to say that for the people, not being in the war and still being able to earn some family money is the day that the people want most.

Huo Yunqian thought about this, bowed his head slightly, and stepped over the threshold to leave here.

When passing by Xu Tianxin, Huo Yunqian paused, and glanced at the bowl filled with sugar water, there were black finger prints of the "fourth aunt", and Xu Tianxin drank it.

Xu Tianxin misunderstood: "...... Do you drink? ”

If you are air-conditioned, drink it yourself.

Xu Tianxin thought to himself: I finally can't hide your arrogance.

It's still different from the peasant, and it's not like wearing a skit.

When the group arrived at the next stop, Jiubao understood why Miss Xu said that only fifteen families could vacate the house.

Because of the next trip, there were about 20 of them, and every family had one or two empty rooms that were rented by Grandma Xu as temporary processing points.

Ge Qi had heard about it because he was stationed here, but Jiubao was a little surprised.

"It's always up to you to call the shots." The villagers who help are not used to calling the owner, so they like to call Mrs. Xu the master.

"Hey, it's a distinguished guest, come to visit our village, you are busy. Let's rest early today. ”

After Mrs. Xu waved her hand to the villagers who were working, she introduced to Huo Yunqian:

"I rented the first three houses, and hired twenty women to fill sausages every day from morning till night.

My sausages are easy to take and easy to store, which is both a vegetable and a grain. The Xu's pebble grilled sausages sold in the town are from my family and are also exported to Fucheng.

There is already a restaurant in Fucheng, an inn has a long-term order, and there is also a restaurant in the county. At present, the goods are delivered every two months. The traders in the mutual market also bought it on the return trip, and they liked it very much. ”

Mrs. Xu casually dragged down more than ten intestines on the hanging rope, without even cutting them, and directly stuffed them into Jiubao's arms, while continuing:

"But this refers to winter, the sausage jelly is hard, it is also salty, it can't be bad, and the shipment is large. When the weather is warm, you can only sell it nearby. ”

In fact, there is no worry about the near place, there are so many towns nearby, I really hope that the Zhenbei Army will take over a few more towns.

Jiubao looked at the string of intestines in his arms, a little confused.

Grandma Xu gave gifts, not to mention how much money was worth, just this posture was atmospheric.

Leaving the sausage production workshop, Mrs. Xu led Huo Yunqian to see the fish floss group.

The fish floss is counted together with the stir-frying, and a total of ten wings are rented.

Because the production of fish floss is secret, it is just a hasty look outside.

And Mrs. Xu still adheres to the principle of "opening your mouth to make three points, and if you can't do it, it is enough", and carefully asked Huo Yunqian about one thing.

She and her granddaughter don't like to buy people to sign death deeds, and they only sign contracts with people who work in the village for about six years, and if they break the contract, they will be fined 1,000 taels of silver if they tell others the secret recipe. When there is a dispute over this contract, I want to ask how the government is in charge.

"Childe, I heard Zhenting say that it's okay to sign a living deed, is it true that you will be sentenced to prison for breach of contract?"

Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin wondered how civil disputes could be criminalized here, so they were a little vague.

There is a crime called "breach of contract", if you do not repay it within 100 days, there is no property to enforce, and you will indeed be sentenced to one year in prison.

Huo Yunqian only responded casually.

He was a little distracted, picked up a trace of meat floss with his fingertips, tasted it, smelled it, and thought to himself: this can be used as a ration for individual soldiers.

He also looked at the ten simple production workshops here, which were only sold to the mutual market and sold to restaurants.

Huo Yunqian was even more interested: "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes."

The next 12 workshops are basically related to pasta.

Instant noodles, Huo Yunqian has eaten them, he knows that Xu Tianxin is very generous, and he directly shared the recipe with Jia Lai in the cave.

Frozen dumplings and sticky bean buns, including yuhuan noodles (fish knock noodles), pickled vegetables, this is also needless to say.

Mrs. Xu only complained to everyone, and seemed to show off the trust of the villagers in the Xu family, informing that the people in the village were unwilling to be the owners themselves, including the shops in the mutual market, and they were not willing to worry about it, so most of the women in the village worked with her.

And up to now, Mu Gongzi, every woman you see earns an average of two and a half taels of silver.

It can be seen that after a year, the women of this village only rely on the Xu family, and more than ten taels of silver can be easily relaxed.

Huo Yunqian and his entourage also saw Grandma Muskmelon's "noodle room." ”

There are soba noodles, there are thin noodles.

Roll the mixed wet dough into finger-thick strips, then hang it on a wooden shelf and drop a short, round wooden stick. Under the pressure of wood, the thick noodles are gradually stretched and elongated, and then they are hung with noodles and dried naturally like a dyeing mill to become dried noodles.

Not every caravan is willing to eat and drink to buy fried instant noodles and frozen dumplings, especially when the escort wages have long been distributed to the escort team members, so the melon grandma brand noodles are actually the most take-out goods.

Dried noodles are not mixed with anything else, that is, salt, water, and flour.

Probably I didn't expect men to come in, and there were more than 30 women in the prime of life who were making handmade noodles in each workshop, rolling up their sleeves and exposing their tendons.

Their noodle kneading skills come from Mrs. Xu.

In Liu Laozhu's original words of selling noodles, she is always a well-known noodle expert, how can she do this? If you can't prepare to beat the mother's fetus, you start pulling the umbilical cord, and the ramen experience is at its peak, and it is overcrowded.

And the above is Mrs. Xu's "Women's Army." ”

"Mu Gongzi, so far, there are one hundred and eighty women in this processing workshop in the village alone."

Mrs. Xu led Huo Yunqian to another room.

This time there is no need to introduce, Huo Yunqian knows that this is Xu Tianxin's "world".

Mrs. Xu stood behind her granddaughter with a smile.

"The proprietor's girl."

In order to increase the number of people for the delivery of the Zhenbei Army, Xu Tianxin's subordinates are currently expanded, and there are fifty fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls and fifty flowery girls, who are all smiling and greeting Xu Tianxin.

Jiubao and Ge Qi were a little uncomfortable being looked at by so many girls.

No wonder all the people I saw from entering the village were mothers-in-law and women, and I wondered that all the people of the right age were in the hands of Xu Tianxin.

Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin took the form of a tour and did not preach.

The grandfather and grandson want to tell Huo Yunqian, the biggest official here, please don't ignore the group of women's productivity.

Please also take a look at the difficult conditions for our business. Families are crowded together, and there are no empty houses.

We want to build a big factory.

Fok Yunqian: Grant land.

Ask for a monthly pass, big beauties.
