Chapter 36: There Will Be a Great Flood
At this time, Yingbao spoke: "Uncle Zhou, can you accept snow ears?" I still have snow fungus at home. ”
Zhou Mao saw a milk doll doing business with him, and couldn't help laughing: "Accept, of course." ”
"How much is that?" Sakura asked.
Zhou Mao pondered for a moment and said, "If the quality is good, the dried snow fungus is five hundred wen a catty." ”
Sakura nodded her little head and asked, "Did Uncle Zhou keep collecting it?" Will it be too much to not want? ”
Zhou Mao said seriously: "It is indeed possible, our firm will also ship the goods it receives, and if the supply exceeds the demand, it will naturally not be accepted." ”
"Oh. Thank you, Uncle Zhou, I know. ”
Coming out of the Furuifeng Trading House, only Jiang Saburo was sullen, and the rest were elated.
After negotiating the purchase price, you can start working hard when you go back, how can you not be excited.
Even if it is only sold once, it will be enough for their family to live happily for many years.
Jiang Saburo drove by a few shops in a donkey cart, went in to buy a lot of daily necessities, and bought the four treasures of the study and calligraphy books for his daughter.
I bought several more pieces of cloth.
Since you have earned money, you have to buy some new clothes for your family and live a good life.
When he passed by another blacksmith shop, Jiang Saburo bought a few farm tools, a few sickles, and a new iron pot.
To buy iron tools and farm tools, you have to register your household registration, and Jiang Saburo took out the prepared household registration to register with the principal, and paid the iron tax.
Out of the city gate, the donkey cart was much faster, and the three brothers were talking and laughing in the car, discussing how to plant golden fungus in the future.
One hundred and ten miles away, a donkey pulled a cart of people hard, rested several times halfway, and was tired.
While the donkey was eating grass and drinking water, Sakura Po fed it a handful of Wuding Zhi, which made it cheer up again.
It wasn't until it was dark that five people and one donkey arrived home.
When he returned to the old house, because it was too late, Jiang Cheng didn't go to return the car, and after unloading the donkey, he picked up a bundle of grass and fed it.
Suddenly, I found that this guy was in good spirits, not at all like running two hundred miles a day, a bit abnormal.
Jiang Cheng touched the donkey's head and muttered: "There won't be a problem, I usually have to foam at the mouth when I run twenty miles, but it's strange today." ”
The donkey snorted at him, raising its head and screaming, its big eyes slanting in the direction where Sakura had disappeared.
Let's talk about Sakura Bao, when I got home, I ran to see my brother first, and gave A-Niang a bag of cakes, "The shopkeeper said, this is the easiest to restrain and can be eaten by the little doll, and the mother can also eat it." ”
Chun Niang smiled and took it, "It's still my Bao'er is the best, your father went to the county seat and didn't buy anything for our mother." ”
Sakura: "Daddy bought cloth for my mother and brother, but it looks good, and I'll move back in a while." ”
Jiang Saburo not only bought cloth for his own family, but also bought it for his father and mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, and the second brother's family was not left behind.
It's just that no one in Jiang Erlang's family knows how to make clothes now, so they are all placed in the big room, and I ask my sister-in-law to help make them.
Sure enough, after a while, Jiang Saburo entered the house with three pieces of cloth.
The cloth is smooth and bright, and it is a texture color that is not found in the cloth shops in the town.
On the cloth were two books for Sakura, a notebook, a stack of paper, two brushes, an inkstone, and a few ink strips.
He put down his things, took out more than a hundred taels of silver from the cloth bag around his waist, and handed it to his wife.
He picked up his son, who he hadn't seen for a day, and said with a smile: "I told my father and mother, I will go to the kiln factory in a few days to order a batch of bricks and tiles, and after the summer harvest, we will build the house and build the courtyard wall, so that we will not be afraid of being sneaked in in the future." ”
A few days ago, I don't know which bastard kid sneaked into the bamboo shed in the middle of the night, stole a golden fungus on a mulberry tree, and tore a few of them, which made Jiang Sanlang angry enough.
Later, Jiang Saburo simply slept in the bamboo shed, so no one came.
Sakura Bao, who was flipping through the books, heard that his father was going to build a house, so he immediately ran over, raised his head and said seriously: "Dad, don't build a house." ”
Jiang Saburo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why doesn't Bao'er build a house?" Isn't it good for us to live in a big house? In the future, build a big yard, and you and your brother will each have spacious rooms to live in. ”
"Don't!" Ying Bao grabbed his father's sleeve and said resolutely: "In case of big floods, it will wash down the house, Dad, let's not build a house here, let's go to Nanshan to build it, there will be no big water over there." ”
Jiang Saburo was a little surprised.
Surprised how the girl said this.
Yes, in previous summers, the water level of the river does rise, and sometimes it will overflow the farmland, but how can a small child know such things?
"How did Bao'er know that there would be a big flood?" Chunniang asked, feeling uneasy.
She has always believed in the rumors in the village and thinks that the little girl has a bit of spirituality, so she pays special attention to what Sakura Po says.
Sakurabo's eyes flashed, and he said, "I dreamed that there would be a lot of water here, flooding the village, and washing down all the houses, even the house of Grandpa Muramasa's house. ”
The houses in the village are all blue bricks and tiles, and ordinary floods cannot be washed away.
Chunniang and Jiang Saburo were dumbfounded when they heard this.
The two of them looked at each other, their expressions a little solemn.
Jiang Saburo put down his son, squatted down and looked at his daughter, "Bao'er, have you told anyone about these things?" ”
Sakura shook her head.
Jiang Saburo: "Then you can't tell others in the future, you know?" ”
Sakura nodded.
"Tell my father, when will there be a big flood?" Jiang Saburo asked again.
Sakura bit her finger and thought for a moment, "I don't know. ”
Jiang Saburo: ......
Chunniang touched her daughter's little head and said softly: "Bao'er, then tell your mother, why do you want to go to Nanshan to build a house?" ”
Yingbao's eyes lit up, and he even said, "Go to Nanshan to build a house, we can plant a lot of apple trees there, and the deer also have a place to graze, let's build a big house, and then build a big yard, and Daddy also has a place to plant golden fungus." ”
Jiang Saburo scratched his forehead, and felt that what his daughter said made sense.
That's right, the southern mountains are wide, and part of my own Yongye field is also there, so if you build a house, you don't have to worry that the place is not big enough.
As for the housing tax and field tax that should be paid, you can earn a lot of money by planting your own golden fungus, and you can fully afford to pay all kinds of taxes.
Moreover, the fields in Nanshan are barren, and it doesn't matter if they plant or not, many families have abandoned them because they can't even harvest the seeds.
However, there is also a disadvantage to living in Nanshan, that is, it is far away from the village, and if your family really moves there, it may not be safe.
"Chunniang," Jiang Saburo asked his wife, "If we go to Nanshan to build a house, can we really do it?" Wouldn't it be too remote? ”
Chun Niang twisted her eyebrows.
She didn't have an idea.
Jiang Saburo sighed and muttered, "It would be nice if the eldest brother and the second brother also went over there to build a house." ”
With a large number of people living and safety issues resolved, Nanshan is undoubtedly the safest place to live, at least without worrying about flooding.
In fact, Nanshan is not a mountain, it is a dirt bun hillside, on which a lot of fields have been cultivated, and there are many wild bamboo forests.
However, because the cultivated fields are not well maintained, they become more and more barren year by year, and many people abandon farming and flee from the fields.
There is a natural water berth, although it is not large, but it is enough for the daily life of several families, if the pond is enlarged a little more, rainwater will accumulate over time, and it may even be able to solve the problem of watering water.
Thinking about it this way, maybe it's not bad to go to Nanshan to build a house, at least you can avoid the big water that your daughter dreamed of.
"Otherwise, I'll go and discuss it with my father and big brother tomorrow." Moving to build a house is not a trivial matter, and I not only have to ask for the consent of my father and mother, but also the village nods.
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, without waiting for Jiang Sanlang to go to the front yard, Jiang Dalang, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Laohan came with Sang Muduan.
"San Lang, can you divide the plant today?"
Jiang Dalang had already built a bamboo shed in his yard, and he would only wait for San Lang to finish his work and come to divide the strains and cultivate fungi.
"Okay!" Jiang Saburo had this intention, so he hurriedly took his brother into the bamboo shed and taught them how to divide the plants and how to sprinkle water.
Jiang Dalang planted a hundred plants, and Jiang Erlang also planted a hundred plants.
Jiang Laohan only planted 20 plants, and wanted to earn some pocket money for himself.
In the midst of the busy greenery, the day passed.
