Cui Tianci looked at Daxue and said: "If it snows heavily tomorrow and the snow closes the mountain, our store may be temporarily closed for a day tomorrow, and we can only set aside brown sugar the day after tomorrow." ”

The little woman was surprised when she saw the sudden snow outside, "Is this snowing again?" ”

Many people in the store were watching and strolling around the shelves, but when they felt the cold wind blowing in front of the store, they were surprised that it was snowing.

"It's snowing!"

"The snowflakes look pretty big!"

"Looks like it's going to snow heavily tonight."

"If it's like the heavy snow at the beginning of winter, it's a thick layer of snow, and you can't walk."

"That's not it, on such a cold day, everyone doesn't want to go out, and if you can stay warm at home, stay warm at home."

When it's snowing heavily, it's freezing cold, and everyone likes to stay at home to keep warm.

"When you go out, it's a little cold."

When it's cold, people with good conditions can warm up a lot by burning a hot kang at home and lighting a charcoal fire.

The people in the village are preparing for cutting more firewood in advance.

When it's cold, they burn firewood vigorously.

Fortunately, there are many mountains and forests nearby, and there is a lot of firewood, so everyone can also use firewood to burn more kang.

When the kang burns warm, everyone doesn't feel cold.

When it is cold, people in the village will hide under the covers on the kang.

They will hold the corn and peanuts on the quilt with a dustpan, and everyone will peel the peanut skin and corn kernels by hand while covering the quilt to keep warm.

So it doesn't affect everyone's work at all.

I will take advantage of the cold weather in winter to do more things.

Because at the beginning of spring, everyone will have to go to work in the fields.

However, Donghe Village is different.

The people of Donghe Village, the weather is the same, and they are diligent in boiling brown sugar and making brown sugar every day.

However, everyone is also worried that there will not be enough bamboo in the mountains and forests at that time.

Many people have planted small bamboos on their own initiative, and they also plan to grow sugar beets in the wasteland in the mountains.

Because Jiang Zhiluo told everyone that beets can also be made into brown sugar.

Everyone talks about it on weekdays, and the words are full of gratitude to Jiang Zhiluo.

Mrs. Zhao's house in Liuhe Village

Mrs. Zhao sat in front of the stove, burning firewood and chattering: "Dalin, you go to the yard and get more firewood and pile it in the house, it's snowing outside, and the firewood is wet with snow, so it's not easy to burn when the fire is burned." ”

Zhao Dalin nodded and handed the spoon to his younger brother and said, "Erlin, you help stir it." ”

Zhao Erlin took the spoon and stirred the sugarcane juice in the pot a little seriously.

As soon as Zhao Dalin walked out of the door of the house, he felt a chill rushing to his neck.

He shuddered, shrunk his neck, and hurried to the corner to carry firewood.

The cold wind is blowing, and when it snows, it can roll up a layer of flying snow.

Some snow blew into Zhao Dalin's neck through the wind, with a hint of coldness.

He quickly brought a pile of firewood into the house.

The firewood in the corners of the courtyard was tied up with hemp rope and piled up.

At that time, wood was chopped from the mountain, piled together, and then piled on small carts to push back.

In this way, you can chop more firewood at once and bring back more.

Of course, now people in the village will also go to Jiang Zhiluo's father in Xingshan Village to order a small cart.

A small cart costs a hundred dollars.

In the past, everyone didn't have enough to eat, and they were reluctant to spend a penny.

I'd rather work harder than buy a small cart.

But now everyone can make money by making brown sugar, last month, Zhao Dalin calculated, and their family earned more than 1,600 yuan.

He was so happy with his grandmother and brother.

It's a number they don't dare to think about.

If you earn this every month, you can save a lot of money in a year.

When the family got better, they went to order a small cart and a bellows.

Now almost every household in the village has bellows.

After really using the bellows, everyone understands how easy the bellows are.

After a little pulling, the fire burned very strongly.

The first person in their village to buy bellows was Lizheng's family.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law Zhu came out and said how easy the bellows were.

On weekdays, it is nothing if you don't use the bellows, but if you make brown sugar, you can save firewood by using bellows, and you can boil the brown sugar faster when the fire is strong at the same time.

So everyone bought bellows after they had a little more money.

Originally, Jiang Xiangchuan couldn't be busy at all.

Jiang Xiangchuan received a lot of orders.

There are also merchants who go to the blacksmith shop and see that the bellows are so easy to use, and when they see business opportunities, they order some bellows with Jiang Xiangchuan.

When the merchant from other places went to Jiang Xiangchuan's house to set the bellows, he saw the umbrellas placed in Jiang Xiangchuan's yard, and he also felt very good, and also ordered a batch of umbrellas.

This is a lot of deposits.

Jiang Xiangchuan couldn't get busy, so he brought some apprentices.

Some half-grown boys in the village, as well as young and powerful boys, began to follow Jiang Xiangchuan to learn these jobs.

Everyone shouted one master after another, and they all studied hard and respected Jiang Xiangchuan very much.

Jiang Xiangchuan is a master, not to let the apprentice work for free when he preaches things.

He sincerely taught his disciples the skills of craftsmanship.

If the bellows or umbrella made by the apprentice, he will give the apprentice a commission.

Each order gives some commission.

Everyone can make money, be more grateful to Jiang Xiangchuan, and study more seriously.

Of course, Jiang Xiangchuan did not accept apprentices in vain.

He has lived in Xingshan Village for so many years, and he knows very well who is in what situation and who is in character.

He chose some people with good temperament, diligence and good moral character as apprentices.

Of course, these people's parents and families also know that it is good and reasonable.

Therefore, after Jiang Xiangchuan taught his disciples, these families were also grateful to Jiang Xiangchuan.

If there is something going on with the Jiang family, these people in the village are actively helping to work.

Before dawn, the water tank in Jiang Xiangchuan's house was full.

Every day before the Ye family worked, Jiang Xiangchuan's apprentices helped clean the yard and rushed to work.

Yip is also willing to teach them how to cook.

They didn't expect to be able to learn cooking from their master.

Cooking is also a survival skill.

Everyone is grateful, and it is natural to study carefully.

At this time, Zhao Dalin sighed that the small cart was easy to use, and took the firewood into the house.

"It's really cold outside!"

Mrs. Zhao said: "It's cold when it's snowing. ”

"After a few days, we will catch the market in Yangliu Village, if it doesn't snow, let's go to the market for a walk, buy some cotton, make thick cotton clothes and thick quilts, and it won't be cold."

If it was in the past, how could Mrs. Zhao be willing to spend money.

They never go to the bazaar to buy anything.

Eat only the food grown in the family's fields, and use only what the family used to have.

Use them carefully, and the clothes are patches and patches.

Now she is also willing to buy some things before the New Year.

Zhao Dalin said with a smile: "Grandma, it's okay, it's not cold in the house, we have been making brown sugar all day long, and by the way, we also burned the kang, and slept on the hot kang at night, which is not cold at all." ”

That's true.

All day long, brown sugar was boiling in front of the pot and burning the fire, and the house was hot.
