Chapter 341: I Want to See the Loess Plateau (Two Chapters in One)
"Mother, and me!"
Xu Tianxin lay on the kang and smiled at the uncle who came out of the back window. Look at it, grandma will beat the uncle in a while.
Sure enough, Mrs. Xu gave Xu Youyin two broom bumps.
I don't sleep in the middle of the night and listen to the roots of the wall, which is all a bad problem that I learned from.
Xu Youyin hugged the broom, came to Mrs. Xu and coaxed:
"Mother, let me go with my third brother, that is called two months to go back and forth at the earliest.
My third brother walked so far alone, I don't feel at ease.
At night, we can't sleep well in the wilderness, and our brothers can take care of each other.
You don't know, in fact, the first second brother also squatted in the corner, don't say it's what I said, I rushed him back. My sister-in-law wants to give birth, and there are a lot of things at home that I want him to do, so I can't let him go out.
Besides, if I don't leave a parent and child at home, I don't worry about my mother. ”
Mrs. Xu sighed: "It doesn't seem to matter how much you two brothers said." ”
In fact, she is very good and very capable.
Xu Youyin smiled and said:
"It's really not important, don't think too highly of our brothers.
However, when my third brother and I went out, we could not only pick up my niece and grandmother in person. This is all my own family, and it will be more appropriate to take care of her along the way, eat and live in the hotel to wash her feet or something, and the designation is better than that Tian Xin's friend. And it can also increase knowledge.
Didn't you say that a good man is ambitious in all directions, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons, and going out more is called growing his ability.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the son and the third brother happened to go to see which is more vast, the loess slope or the black soil. What is the difference between the northern lock key and the majestic city pass in the north of our town.
It's farming, if you don't have enough manpower, it's a big deal to hire two more people to help, and the third brother and I can do a little physical work. ”
Mrs. Xu looked at the third child.
Xu Youcang: "I think so too. ”
At the same time, the old lady couldn't lie down at all in the Westinghouse.
Yes, she admitted that Grandma Dabao was able to bring so much money and so much food, and that person was the best person. A person's life, let's be honest, how much money can be earned by the total, it can be said that it is really all she has, and she is also very moved.
It's also a little confusing and ...... I muttered in my heart.
Why don't you show up to see Tian Xin'er, or it's like you want to empty your family. It's really not normal, but I didn't say it because I was afraid that her family treasure would be more upset.
However, there is also a good possibility, that is, the situation there is like her second daughter-in-law's house, don't look at the fact that she has only left her homeland for two years, but giving twenty taels is really nothing, and she can't be prepared to earn hundreds of taels of money in the early days. This time, I want to compensate for it.
It can be seen that in the heart of the old lady, since her second daughter-in-law made a fortune quickly, the old lady really feels that everything in this world is really possible.
Maybe you can get the top prize if you enter the cave any day, and Uncle Tian Xin will go outside to make a fortune.
But no matter what it is, the old lady thinks that this matter is wronged.
After all, it was not the distance from Erdaohe to Xujiazhuang.
And it costs a lot of money all the way to the hotel.
It's not good, the little money given by Dabao's grandmother will all be upside down on the way to pick up people, and Dabao can't spend a penny.
Isn't that a redundant move to take off your pants and fart? It's better not to toss around.
The old lady substituted herself, if she was Grandma Tian Xin, she knew that all the money she gave in the end would be on the way to pick up people, and she would probably be angry and distressed.
"Milk, what are you doing?" Zhao Zhao stretched out his arm and stopped the old lady who was about to go down to the kang.
"I'm going to go to the house and say what I think."
Xu Zhaozhao twisted his eyebrows and persuaded:
"Milk, why can't you be as Tian Xin'er said, open up the pattern and be broad-minded, why are you cautious when it comes to money.
Yes, I know that you are used to living a hard life, so you will break eight petals of flowers for a penny, and it is difficult to change your life by calculating and living with your hands tight. Who wouldn't want to be born generous? I know you don't want that either.
But haven't you noticed that you've been here for so long? My second aunt and Tian Xin don't care about money at all.
Tian Xin'er didn't eat anything tonight, she has always eaten a lot, and rarely uses chopsticks to pick up rice grains and can't swallow them, which shows that she misses her grandmother very much.
And if my second aunt and Tian Xin don't value people, only money, they won't save me, and they won't support you! ”
Xu Zhaozhao still has a little bit of a little pepper nature, and he is in a hurry.
The old lady waved Xu Zhaozhao away, and walked out with her little feet tight, and did not forget to turn her head and scold her granddaughter:
"Teach me with your trumpet? It is precisely because I have a broken sternum that my heart is now eight pounds bigger in the sun that I want to go to the house and tell me what I think. It's you Xiao Zhaozhao, I wanted to talk about you for a long time, change your little temper earlier, the God of Wealth doesn't complain about women, you affect making money like this. ”
Zhao Zhao was stunned.
Then Zhao Zhao heard the old lady go to the second aunt's house and say:
"Is it decided that you have to go? Look at one or two, Dabao didn't eat well for one night, the uncles squatted on the wall and thought about it, and Zhaozhao didn't sleep.
If you have to go, can you hear what I think?
My idea is that I can't go in vain, and I can't just go empty-handed.
Daughter-in-law, let the two brothers leave later and bring some goods to sell, lest they will have to take off their pants and fart again before long, and they will have to deliver goods to those merchants.
Come back and let them not empty the car, and you will bring some more money? We've gone so far to see what specialties are available here to sell, and let them buy some more. ”
Anyway, in a word, it is to make money.
Otherwise, the old lady felt too much of a loss, and she was easily distressed and couldn't sleep.
Actually, she won't be able to sleep tonight.
What are you sleeping? Hurry up to make a few more pairs of straw sandals and cloth shoes with softer soles for the two grandchildren who are going out. I also made two pairs for Dabao's grandmother, so as not to rush to the hot weather after the rest of the month, in case there are no straw sandals to wear and panic.
The old lady had seen those merchants in the mutual market use needles to break the blood blisters, and the feet seemed to rot all the way down. She knows too much about the importance of shoes.
It is comforting to know that it is not a big winter, and the road is not freezing. She would be able to worry less about the sins of her grandchildren.
Under the oil lamp, the old lady was scratching her head with the back of a needle, and when she got close to the light, she still couldn't see where the line was inserted.
Xu Zhaozhao knelt down and sat down in front of him, and took it with a smile: "Milk, I'll string it." I'll sew the shoes, and you tell me. ”
I thought: I'm sorry, grandma, and you are careful, but in fact, it's all the old yellow calendar.
Zhao Zhao complained about himself, but in fact, his grandmother had changed earlier.
For example, the hired worker of Xujiazhuang told her grandmother about the fight between her and Gu Sufen, and also learned what Gu Sufen scolded her grandmother when she planted her grandmother's two acres of land.
At that time, my grandmother was cooking for the house-building workers, and at the same time pinched her waist with one hand, and scolded Gu Sufen for how she was not human.
In front of the people who came to work in various villages, my grandmother paid attention to Gu Sufen's piles over the years, and said: "My heart is really too broad-minded, I can even tolerate this kind of person." Can anyone give me a word? If I don't go back now, it's because she's not worth it. You wait for the autumn harvest to be finished, and you wait for the house to be built at home. ”
It was a great way to vent at the time, and I didn't keep all the swear words I've learned in my life. Grandmother said that only when the dirty words are spoken can the mouth be clean, and you must not swallow it, otherwise the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys will also be dirty.
As for the words that Gu Sufen paid attention to behind her back, even these, her grandmother still said that she would wait for her to finish her business, and said:
"Scold me, I don't care if she scolds me behind my back, because I don't scold her less. Besides, she pays attention to me, but she is rotten. I scolded her, or she was rotten. She didn't have a bad heart, why did she scold me? She's not rotten, can I scold her? ”
After saying this, the audience shouted: "Makes sense! ”
It can be seen from this incident that my grandmother's style has long since changed.
Also, the family hires so many people to build workshops and houses, and they have to plant a lot of land and hire a lot of people, all of whom need to eat, pay wages, open shops, and be busy ordering goods outside. Although you can make money by doing these two things, you must prepare food and various kinds of meat in advance as a cost.
At present, as long as the Xu family orders ten pigs, they are ten or ten heads.
The outside also gave the Xu family a nickname, 100 pigs, 1,000 ducks, and 10,000 catties of grain.
Therefore, Zhao Zhao felt that the reason why his grandmother put everything behind was because her grandmother obviously felt a lot of psychological pressure for her second aunt, so she made her grandmother do something, and it couldn't affect the family's style of making money.
……
The next day, Mrs. Xu announced the travel list, and affirmed the old lady's idea, and specially said:
"What your grandmother said was exactly what I thought.
It's been so far, not only to deliver goods, but also to buy goods and come back to earn the difference.
Tian Xin flipped through the book, and I also inquired, it seems that there are many specialties in these cities that I passed all the way down, and Jizhou red rice is a blood tonic ......"
This is the rouge rice eaten by the Jia family in the dream of Red Mansions. "It must be very expensive, it costs a few taels of silver and a pound of rice, don't go in vain, take a look."
Xu Youyin took notes on charcoal, and if he couldn't write, he could draw, as long as he knew it. Hearing the charcoal pen, look, take a look?
Take a look at it, don't talk about it, he has a hard time writing a notebook.
"Apricots, grapes, sheep from Tang County, donkey meat.
A few of you brothers try the powdered food, don't always buy dry food to deal with it when you're in a hurry.
There are also tea from the capital, white pears from Beijing, water chestnuts from Dashiwo, persimmons from Mopan, magnolia buds, and mushrooms. Natsi mushrooms are in the south, and some of them have to put them on the New Year's worship......
Go to Jincheng to buy millet, black beans, and red kidney beans, and the price is much cheaper than ours.
There is also sesame oil from Shenchi, buy more of it and come back to earn the difference. Cypress seed mutton, pour some, there are many alpacas there. I buy more local chili peppers from Little Garlic Town, and I make hot sauce for takeout, which tastes better than ours here.
Oh, by the way, there are also medicinal herbs Zhimu, Forsythia, peach kernels, Bupleurum chinensis, Yuanzhi, and sour jujube kernels...... Anyway, you guys are asking as you go.
The price of some things in our local area, Tianxin will also write a price list for you to bring.
When the time comes to purchase other things, you will check the price list to see which profits are worth putting on the car, and it will not be bad when you come back, and you will still make a lot of money, so you will grasp the purchase yourself. Shoot when it's time to strike. Don't wait for grinding and chirping as if you don't dare to spend money, and regret it later. ”
And the brothers of the Xu family haven't set off yet, Mrs. Xu can guess what she will buy for Tian Xin.
Mrs. Xu specially instructed: "As for your brothers, if you are worried about the rare fruits you bought for your children on the way back, if you can't put them away, I will teach you how to make jam or canned food twice later." You also eat some of yourselves, and drink water to quench your thirst while it is cheap, and buy food on the way. Where are the big watermelons and big peaches? Don't lose your mouth anyway. We don't need you to calculate like before, do you hear? ”
Mrs. Xu looked at Dapeng: "And in addition to the third and fourth children, Dapeng will also go." ”
Dapeng was stunned: "Milk ......"
Dapeng spreads his wings, and when the age is reached, it's time to go out and explore.
Mrs. Xu thought to herself: Milk said that if you can fly high, you can fly high, and it is never empty words:
"Follow the two uncles, take the opportunity to go out and look outside, this trip is regarded as a gain of knowledge, first step on it. Besides, only if you go far can you dare to think about it in the future. I heard that some cities can also take a short ferry to take a shortcut or something, and they all feel the feeling. ”
It's not exactly the same route as in modern times, because modern times have been developed with highways and railways. There are no such routes, and some routes require winding mountain roads and even boat crossings of certain rivers.
So in the travel list for the next two days, there are also Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin.
This was decided by Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin last night.
There are two advantages to the two of them.
First, after accompanying them to Fucheng for delivery, the ox cart with warehouses, silver and Dapeng will be returned to them. But when they set off, those people didn't catch the car, and the delivery van was not enough.
After that, the two brothers took Dapeng with them, because they had to take a boat and wait for transportation to be faster.
You need to be like Uncle Tian Xin's friend, take someone else's car and boat when you go, and rent a car when you come back, no matter how many goods you bring. Therefore, Mrs. Xu went to Fucheng to see off her sons, and she would contact the rented vehicle in Fucheng first, so that she could pick up her sons and goods from the river, and rent them back to Erdaohe all the way.
The second is to sell the goods before the Dragon Boat Festival on a live broadcast immediately, and Mrs. Xu and Xu Tianxin are going to find an excuse to go out.
Originally, the original plan would not have gone so far, after all, the matter of cooking at home is not far away.
But because of this incident, it is better to go farther.
That night, the Xu family's shop was brightly lit, and the Xu family in the village was full of people. Everyone is making steamed buns and dumplings. Mrs. Xu is a barbecued pork bun, the old lady makes bean buns, Yu Qinniang and Dayue Zhaodi, full of tables, big red seeds, vegetable buns, and Yingzi, and even Xu Tianxin is also on it, it is to wrap roasted wheat, make pies, multigrain steamed buns, and spicy meat rolls.
Outsiders thought that the Xu family was preparing for Xu Youcang's trip.
The "insiders" of the Xu family thought that they were so old, and Mrs. Xu planned to go to Fucheng to sell all the way.
But in fact, these foods are for the sake of Jiubao them.
The ancestors and grandchildren of the Xu family have to go all the way to Fucheng and live broadcast all the way to become out of stock, at least one round trip will have to ask for ten days off. And Jiubao is like a child waiting to be fed, squatting in the col and waiting for food, how can they do it if they don't prepare more.
Ask how to store these foods when it's hot.
You can freeze it, and eat it hot when you're hungry.
Xu Tianxin is interpreting the saltpeter ice-making method for Jiubao.
"The general said that you should stop storing gunpowder."
General's general, he's the emperor? So much to do. "Don't tell him."
"Okay." Nine treasures should be down.
Xu Tianxin thought to himself: I really don't blame her if I say it. It's just that there are too many workers in the family, and the thatched house is out too quickly, and she accidentally saves so much from her grandfather. (End of chapter)
