Feng Gui took a person from Xiaqiu Village back to the village, and he needed to take care of the food and livestock.

The surrounding villages came to rent livestock, but if there was a way, they didn't want to rent it, so they had to exchange it for food.

Zhu Cheng is a young man, twenty years old, the year before last, the child is two years old, actually one year and three months, just able to walk, occasionally shouting father, mother.

His daughter-in-law's maiden home is in Fuguang Village, and the other party rents livestock, and he is responsible for taking care of it.

Early in the morning, he put a large bag on the cattle, rented fifteen mules, seventeen of them, and rode two of them, and his family of three went.

There was just the opportunity, when I went back to my parents' house, my aunt came to the door, and the child was hugged.

Before leaving, the child's grandmother chased after her, carrying a string of copper coins.

She handed it to her daughter-in-law: "Lan! The village is busy, your father and I can't go over first, you give it to your mother-in-law, you are a married daughter-in-law, not the water that someone's family spilled. ”

"Mother, it's too much." The daughter-in-law's eyes were red.

"It's not much, make more money in the future, and give it to them, the father-in-law and the mother-in-law are good, you give birth to a child, and come to serve the confinement so far away."

His family has brought a lot of things, even if life is hard, his family has money, and he can give it to us.

But don't talk about the silly thing, if we say it, we may not have a village guard, remember. ”

When the mother-in-law said and advised, the most important thing was to keep it secret.

The daughter-in-law nodded vigorously: "Mother, I won't say anything about killing me." ”

"Don't say that you can't die, be careful on the road, watch every sentence, and be obedient!"

The mother-in-law said two more words, waving her hand, and every sentence was her grandson's milk name.

The family of three set off and walked for an hour and a half before arriving at Fuguang Village.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the village, there were children playing running towards the village.

After a while, the village chief greeted him with a smile: "Arrived so early? It's the road, huh? How to have two more ends? ”

"Uncle Fang, it's me, Xiaolan, I'll go back to my parents' house and ride it."

I went back to the village and greeted my daughter-in-law.

"Yo! Xiaolan? It's been two years. The lieutenant recognized it.

People have indeed changed, they were thin when they got married, and now they eat well, their faces are flushed, and they have new clothes made of silk.

The villagers came to watch, and the daughter of the Fang Wu family who married came back to the door, but it was amazing, the clothes were really good.

The mules were divided into fifteen, and Zhu Cheng and the three of them came to the door of Fang Wu's house.

The family of four just got the news and went out to greet them, and they arrived at the place.

Two are in their forties, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, and a girl of twelve or thirteen years old.

"Sister, brother-in-law." The two children opened their mouths to shout.

"Uncle is here." The mother-in-law looked at the two adults and stretched out her hand.

The child was handed to her, and she smiled and squinted: "The sentences are so white and strong, looking at the little arms and legs." ”

Zhu Cheng called out to his father and mother to carry things down from the mule.

"Uncle, what are they?" The mother-in-law was curious.

"Mother, go in and say." Her daughter-in-law winked.

Zhu Cheng took the children to move three times, tied the mules, and the family entered the house and closed the door.

The package was placed on the bed, and when the daughter-in-law opened one first, she took out rock sugar, starch sugar, white sugar, brown sugar, and sesame sugar.

Peel the candy for your father and mother first, and then give it to your brother and sister.

The people of the Fang Wu family had caramel in their mouths, and their eyes were full of surprise, how could there be rock candy? A big bag has to weigh two pounds.

Fang Lan continued to open the package, a sealed jar.

"Mother, there are twenty catties of rapeseed oil here, and I cook and eat at home."

She said again, the next one.

Twenty pounds of bacon, five air-dried chickens, four horses of silk, twenty pounds of salt, ten balls of soap with honey locusts, ten pounds of lard, eight plates, eight plates and eight bowls of tableware.

In addition, there are 50 catties of ramie, 30 catties of cotton, 5 braised bamboo rats, and 100 eggs.

In the end, she took out a string of money, which was consistent, a thousand Wen, and put it on the bed: "When I came, my mother-in-law chased it out and gave it, no matter how many things there were, it was not as good as cash in hand." ”

"Lan, your family is just a day? I know that you have money in Xiaqiu Village, but ......"

When the mother looks at things, she is dazzled and scared.

My family lives a normal life, smoothly and smoothly, and these things can be exchanged for all the expenses of the family in addition to food for two years.

Then there is a thousand Wen, plus a large bag of sugar.

"Mother, my mother-in-law said, I am the daughter-in-law who married into the door, not the water spilled by anyone's family.

What's more, the family has money, but we have money in Xiaqiu Village, and we eat meat every day.

We work, and half of the money we earn is kept for ourselves, and half is used as a minister in the village.

We used the minister's money to eat in a big pot of rice, kept our own money, and bought the things we brought with the village.

The two mules were brought by the lieutenant to carry water for the family, and they were separated from the village, and we didn't pay for them. ”

Fang Lan said happily, not caring about this thing.

"Xiaqiu Village is well-known for its benevolence and righteousness, and that's why I married you in the first place. Uncle, you sit, I'll cook for you, and you drink some wine with your father. ”

The mother-in-law's cognition has changed, Xiaqiu Village is rich, but not ordinary rich.

Zhu Cheng hurriedly stopped and pointed to the two packages that had not yet been opened next to him: "Mother, you don't need to cook, you brought it from home." ”

The package opened, and there was a basket with a lid containing sheets of ghee cakes, sliced bacon, shredded cucumbers, shredded green onions, and coriander.

Plus fried tempeh sauce and five catties of sauce beef and salted duck eggs.

The other contained a jar of ten pounds of wine, a wine cup, and a wine bundle.

"Xiaocheng, are you afraid that your family won't give you food?" The old man was a little unhappy.

"Dad, I'm bringing something new here to try it, you haven't eaten it. The wine set is a medicinal wine that is filial to you, usually drunk and brewed. ”

Zhu Cheng said with a smile that according to etiquette, you really shouldn't bring your own food and not ask others to cook.

"Your village is really rich!" The old man smiled.

He really couldn't give such a meal unless he made what he brought.

"Uncle, why are you willing to kill cattle in the village?" The mother-in-law felt sorry for the cow.

"How can anyone in the village be killed, there are always dead cows, they see it, buy it, and come back to eat it." Zhu Cheng shook his head.

'Wow~~Wow~~~' The little baby suddenly cried.

"Quick, let's see, if you're hungry or pee."

The mother-in-law hugged the child and dragged her daughter to the next room.

The baby occupies all these two things, first change the diapers brought, the mother-in-law immediately washes them, and the daughter feeds them.

After a busy time, when the baby settles down, the baby falls asleep, and everyone goes to the table to eat.

"Haven't quit breastfeeding yet?" The mother-in-law asked at this moment.

"Wait for another two months, she doesn't need to be busy at home, and now she can eat something else."

Zhu Cheng responded, and Han Han said that it was okay to feed it for a few more months, otherwise it would have been cut off long ago.

The family ate happily, turned to Zhu Cheng to watch the use of livestock, and the father-in-law took two mules to carry water for his family.

……

On the first day of the sixth month, Zhu Yuanzhang really went to the altar in the suburbs and stepped on the seven stars to ask for rain.

It is estimated that it was just time for it to rain, and there was a light rain on the third day after Zhu Yuanzhang prayed for rain.

People in the arid areas breathed a sigh of relief, and it was good to have rain.

The people of Xiaqiu Village finally didn't need to water anymore, and Zhu Wentian freed up his hands to lead people to plant the bamboo sunflowers.

When a heavy rain falls and the weather clears, he starts to make money and start a big business.

The amount of stone alkali reserves is sufficient, and there is no shortage of rapeseed oil.

Then things are simple, make molds, choose spices, add salt filtered with kaolin, and try to be as pure as possible.

So out of the soap and soap is hard, otherwise soft.

Zhu Wentian didn't think there was anything to show off, just a person with the necessary skills of a modern intellectual.

Yes, it's normal. No, there is a problem.

What's next...... Washboard, used to wash clothes, was not used before, either silk washing, or with a stick, foot stepping, hand rubbing.

The villagers looked at the things made by Han Han and didn't know how to use them.

Zhu Wentian gestured and introduced: "Incense, wash your hands, not fragrant, clothes, boards, rub." ”

After listening to this, the villagers smiled and said that they understood, soap washes people, soap washes clothes, take this board to rub.

Try it, someone brought out a wooden basin, found dirty clothes, and washed them on the spot.

"It's clean, it's really clean, it's fast, it's better than soap, and it's good to rub the board."

After washing a piece of clothing, everyone looked at it and gave an evaluation.

Next is the question of how to sell it, and the chief picks up a piece of soap: "It's not dangerous to sell this, right?" ”

"No, there are sells, not the same, but ......"

"That's it." The lieutenant helped to speak out.

"Yes, hey, hey, hey, hey." Zhu Wentian is very dedicated, and he still strives to maintain his personality.

"How much does that cost exactly?" The lieutenant is ready to bring the village to a fortune.

However, all the money earned by this soap is the minister's money, and the villagers do not spend money on soap themselves, and the money from selling soap has nothing to do with the villagers.

Zhu Wentian: "......"

He nodded: "First of all, let's talk about who likes to use soap, soap is used by people in the village, and soap must be used for takeaway."

Now we have soap beans and balls of fragrant soap, but it is really not possible to wash things with plant ash.

Ordinary people don't buy our soap, unless soap is cheaper than plant ash.

Rich people don't buy soap without fragrance, we just make rich people's money and sell soap.

In terms of size, the price of a soap of the same size and a round soap made from honey locusts should be five times as much. ”

"Cheng, let's make a few hundred yuan first, and then get to the ......" The chief hesitated.

"Xuancheng, when the city official position of Tu County is too small, the people of Xuancheng County and Ning Guofu have absolute interests involved with us.

Our rock sugar manufacturing methods and farming matters, after Ning Guofu reported it, the relationship with us was different.

Let's go over and ask what the results are after they report it, in case there is a reward! ”

Zhu Wentian analyzed to the lieutenant that the village and Ning Guofu are not only bound by economic interests, but also by political interests.

The lieutenant touched Hanhan's head: "You're right, I'll take you with me tomorrow morning, where are you staying tonight?" ”

"Ancestral Hall, hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Wentian considered the distance and chose the nearest place.

The lieutenant shook his head and specially found someone to arrange for tomorrow's trip.

Before dawn the next day, the chief went to the shrine hall to wake up Hanhan, had breakfast, and the team set off.

Bring six hundred pieces of soap and a hundred pieces of soap, sickles, bamboo spears, and food.

A total of 10 cars, 50 villagers in good health, after selling soap, want to buy things, afraid of being robbed on the road.
