Chapter 343: Planting Kudzu Vines
Seeing that Chen Zhao was still embarrassed, Ying Bao knew that she must not even have the money to make a stove, so she had to say: "Either I will lend you five taels of silver first, you go to make a stove first, and then buy a fried pot, there should be no shortage of rice noodles in your house, only frosting and sesame seeds still need to cost moneyΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
As he was talking, he saw Chen Zhao urging his head and silently shedding tears.
Sakura paused and said, "When you make money, return the money to me." β
Chen Zhao nodded, stepped forward to hug Yingbao, and thanked him in a low voice: "Thank you for your willingness to help me." β
She wasn't very friendly to Sakura Po before, and she used to hope that Sakura Po would be unlucky.
But when her mother was imprisoned, she didn't hate Sakura at all, and secretly hoped that she would never come back.
It is estimated that the eldest sister Chen Wan also thought so, when she learned that her mother died, she didn't even shed a single tear.
Ying Bao silently pushed her away, took out an ingot of five taels of silver from her bag and handed it over: "While everyone is idle now, hurry up and make a stove." β
Frosting and sesame seeds can be bought at the market, sesame oil is used to fry sugar cakes, and Da Niu Ge's oil mill also sells them.
Chen Zhao took the silver, nodded, turned around and ran.
After a few days, Chen Zhao really started to buy and sell fried sugar cakes.
Chen Feng chased him to the market and scolded Chen Zhao for a long time, saying that if her father's fame was implicated, she would not be spared.
Chen Zhao was determined to oppose Chen Feng's, no matter how she scolded, he just ignored her.
Chen Xu followed closely behind the second sister and helped to add firewood to the stove.
Sakura went over to see them and bought a few sugar cakes.
Chen Zhao pushed the money back: "Take it and eat, Xubao often eats at your house, how can you pay for it." β
Sakura insisted on stuffing it to her: "If I don't want money, I won't buy it, and it's not good to come back next time." β
When Chen Zhao saw her say this, he had to accept the money.
Today is the first time since the flood that the market has been opened, and there are many people who come to buy things.
The little girl and daughter-in-law smelled the fragrance of the sugar cake and couldn't walk anymore, so they bought one or two to taste.
The children and daughters-in-law of Dongchen Village and Xichen Village also came to join in the fun, and they did not lack pocket money in their hands, and they also took out a few pennies to buy one.
For a while, Chen Zhao was a little too busy.
Sakura watched for a while, bought some things at the market, and then went home.
Chunniang was sitting in the yard with her mother and sister-in-law sorting leeks, preparing to make leek dumplings, when she saw her daughter coming back, she asked, "What did you buy?" β
Sakura gave her a piece of the sugar cake she bought, and gave it to her grandmother and aunt.
"Yo, who did this? It's pretty good. Chun Niang put the sugar cake on her mouth, wiped her hands on the apron, and then took a bite slowly.
Grandma and aunt nodded: "It's really good, the skin is crispy, and there is sugar and sesame stuffing inside." β
Ying Bao also took a bite and said: "Chen Zhao made it, I taught her." β
Chunniang was surprised: "Bao'er, what did you teach her to do this?" So can Chen Fengshi be willing to do a small business for his granddaughter? β
"If you don't want to, you have to be willing." Chen Zhao is not a person who accepts her fate, she is determined to fight Chen Feng's to the end.
Ying Bao knows Chen Feng very well, the old woman is very face-saving, and now her son has been admitted to Xiucai, and she feels superior, she would rather be poor in the family than show up to do business, but she is really short of money, and she can only compromise.
Of course, in his previous life, Chen Feng's family was not poor, and his family had hundreds of acres of land, most of which were handed over to hired farmers for farming, and he also used money to buy a house in the county for his second son.
Aunt Xu answered: "What's wrong with doing business? That's really Chen Fengshi. "Earlier, my aunt also went to the market for a walk, and happened to see Chen Fengshi holding a small bamboo stick to make Chen Zhao.
After eating the sugar cake, my grandmother wiped her hands with her apron and said, "Maybe I don't want the girl to show her face, I see that the girl is eleven or twelve years old, and it is really not suitable to do business alone." β
Mrs. Xu thought far-reachingly, in her opinion, people in the world are sinister, girls should stay at home honestly, even if they do business, they must be accompanied by their families, otherwise they will be bullied by bad people.
Chun Niang glanced at the little girl, and said in her heart that her daughter would follow her cousin to do business when she was a little older, and she made Dacheng and Erquan make a fortune, she felt incredible, so she didn't think it was inappropriate for girls to do business.
Seeing them chatting, Sakura Bao took the bits and pieces he bought into the house, took them out for A-Niang, and put the rest into the cave.
Then he went out with a small shovel and a basket.
Taking advantage of the fact that the land was soft and the weather was not hot or cold, she had to plant some more trees around the village.
It is also necessary to plant herbs in the wild wasteland, such as calendula, thistle, thistle, atractylodes and other common and miraculous medicinal materials, and it is necessary to sow more seeds.
She took out a bunch of saplings from her orchard and put them in the basket, and was about to leave when she heard someone behind her calling her: "Sakura, what are you doing?" β
Ying Bao turned around and saw that it was Master Zhou Wuchang, and replied, "I'm going to plant some herbs." β
Zhou Wuchang walked behind his hands, followed by his eldest apprentice Zhou Hao. "I'll go with you for the teacher."
"Okay." Sakura took a shovel and led the way.
When the three of them came to the village next to the soaphorn tree, Sakura put down the basket and began to dig the soil and plant kudzu seedlings.
The reason why Sakura chose to plant kudzu vines next to the soaphorn trees is because of their great usefulness and because they grow quickly and often flourish in a year.
Moreover, their rhizomes and flowers are good medicines for cooling blood and detoxifying.
Zhou Wuchang watched the little apprentice plant the seedlings with great interest, and said to the big apprentice: "Don't go and help your junior sister work yet." β
Zhou Hao responded, took the shovel in Yingbao's hand and began to dig a pit.
Sakura planted kudzu vines in the pit he had dug.
Zhou Wuchang looked at it for a while and asked, "Yingbao, what do you mean by planting this?" β
Sakura Bao squatted on the ground and didn't raise his head: "These grow fast, you can climb the soaphorn tree in a year, with their protection, it is not easy for people outside to come in." β
There are kudzu vines entangled between the saponaria trees, and the gap between the saponaria trees will be smaller, and even cats will not be able to enter at that time.
Zhou Wuchang smiled: "What if someone sets fire to you?" β
"The people in the village are not blind, they can definitely see it." Sakura said: "If a foreign enemy is coming, we can just find the right direction." β
"It's really a foreign enemy, and it's impossible to set fire to one place, they will set fire everywhere." Zhou Wuchang said.
Sakura thought for a moment and said, "When that time comes, there must be a lot of people coming, so I have a second way to deal with it." β
Zhou Wuchang was curious: "What method?" β
"Run away where there's no fire." Ying Bao said seriously: "I really can't escape, I will let everyone in the village come to my house and defend it together." β
Zhou Wuchang laughed: "This is also a method? β
"Hmm." Sakura had never experienced war, so she couldn't think of any good way to deal with the enemy.
"The teacher will tell you, if you defend against the attack of foreign enemies, what should you do, the chance of winning is the greatest." Zhou Wuchang looked at a circle of lush soaphorn trees, but he was amazed in his heart.
Ying Bao raised her little head: "Master, you say." β
