Chapter 199: The Whole Person Floated
It didn't take long for the talents in the outer courtyard to eat the meals sent over. Some of them share a table with two or three people, and some have it for themselves, and everyone can't stop eating. "Braised pork" is sweet and fluffy, fat but not greasy; "Sweet and sour short ribs" are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet but not greasy; The "fried eggplant box" is golden and crispy, fragrant and delicious; Even the stir-fried loofah has a unique fragrance.
Not to mention the "Cantonese claypot rice", the aftertaste is endless after eating it...... It's worth it, it's worth it! Outside, even if you spend twice as much silver, you may not be able to eat so delicious!
The Song family eats simpler, a big pot of potato and pork belly stewed vermicelli, a large pot of braised eggplant in oil, enough oil and water, eat fragrantly, and serve a big bowl with two rice. The word "beauty" is not enough to describe the mood of the old Song family.
After eating, several daughters-in-law finished washing the dishes and chopsticks, and were called by Mrs. Wu to dispose of the pig's head and pig's water. After finishing it, use the marinade prepared by Xiaofuya and marinate it in the pot for an afternoon, so as not to delay eating it in the evening.
Mrs. Wu took Xiao Fuya back to the room and said to Song Ergui: "Second child, you drive the carriage in the afternoon and go out with us." I have my eye on two plots of land, and I can't decide which one to buy, so I'll make a decision after looking at it in the afternoon. ”
Zhang Chunmei's eyes lit up, and she poked her man with her fingers. Song Sanshou frowned and glared at her, and said, "Mother, I don't have anything to do in the afternoon, and I will also go over to palm?" ”
"How can a carriage pull so many people? Do you want to exhaust it? It was decided that the old man and the second child would go out with us in the afternoon. If you are idle and have nothing to do, go out and ask where there are green bricks sold, and build a big kang for my house! Wu Pozi said.
Song Sanshou was surprised and said, "Mother, do you want to pan kang in that house?" What about the bed you sleep in? ”
"What to do? Of course, it is to move the compartment inside, the couch where Fuya sleeps is too small, what should I do if I fall out of bed in the middle of the night? When Mrs. Wu saw several daughters-in-law, she was busy on the surface, but her ears were open, obviously waiting for her answer.
The shelf bed in her house is said to be made of yellow pear, which is beautiful and valuable. Are you all waiting here? She didn't give it! Four daughters-in-law, to whom and not to whom? She simply flattened a bowl of water and didn't give it to anyone. The only little girl in the family, can't be spoiled? Whoever has an opinion is held back by the old lady!
Song Ziran rolled on the shelf bed, this valuable antique Huanghuali shelf bed will be hers in the future. Sleeping on such a delicate and elegant bed, she felt that she had become a little lady in an instant, and her whole person was floating!
In the afternoon, when the time was approaching, Xing Daming stood at the door of the tooth shop, stretched out his head, and looked forward to it. A goatee stroked the beard of his chin, burped, and let out a breath of wine, and walked in from the outside. When he passed by him, he sneered:
"Still waiting? The old and the young, are obviously struggling with you! Ignoring the clothes of the two, it is said that their words and deeds do not look like people who can afford to buy fields. If you look at both pieces, you will only be fools who believe them! ”
Xing Daming ignored him and still looked towards the mouth of the alley. Suddenly, a carriage appeared at the mouth of the alley, and his eyes lit up. But when I saw a slender man jumping down from above, it dimmed again.
Immediately afterwards, the thin man helped down an old woman with gray hair from the carriage, and the old woman turned around and hugged a little girl in red who was four or five years old...... Xing Daming greeted him with a smile and said, "Auntie, are you here?" I'm ready, let's go now! ”
Wu Pozi nodded and said, "Okay!" This afternoon, I will go to see the far one first, and I will go to the near tomorrow in the morning. We are young and can't come back too late, so as not to lack consciousness and grow tall. ”
Song Ziran felt tired: it was indeed her own mother, which pot was not opened.
But in the past six months, she really hasn't grown much. When the Fifth Uncle's Courtyard tested, the traces she carved on the pillar were still above her head - sad! It must be that she has too many things to worry about, and she is not going to grow up!
The carriage walked for nearly an hour before arriving at the first piece of land introduced by Xing Daming. Song Laohan put his hands behind his back, walked around the field, shook his head slowly, sighed and said: "Fifty acres of land, less than half of the crops can be planted, three hundred taels is really not cheap!" ”
Xing Daming said with a smile: "The land near Fucheng is expensive, if it is all high-grade fertile land, you can't get it without five hundred taels of silver." Uncle, think about it, if it is all good land, how can it stay until now? ”
Song Ziran walked over, took Song Laohan's fingers, pointed to the inferior field and the middle field, and said, "Master, look at this land, is it similar to the land where we grow honey potatoes?" ”
Song Laohan's eyes lit up, and he looked down at the little girl: "What?" Do you want to grow sweet potatoes here? However, this is a bit far away from the capital city, so it's not easy to manage! ”
Song Ziran pointed to a small hillside next to the field and said, "We can build a small village there, and choose two families with good character from the refugees outside the city to be tenants for us." However, they have to listen to us about what to plant in this land. ”
Xing Daming interjected: "It's better to buy someone than to find a tenant!" Now, the most important thing in the dental shops is the refugees who sell themselves, and ten taels of silver can buy a family. Hold the deed of sale in your hands, and you are not afraid that they will be disobedient! ”
Mrs. Wu and Old Man Song glanced at each other, and they were reluctant to make a decision. They have all experienced disaster years, and they know that human life is the least valuable in disaster years, so in order for the family to survive, what is it to sell themselves as slaves?
Song Ergui accepted it well, nodded and said, "Dad, mother!" It's not bad to buy people! We are not harsh people, and for those who sell themselves into slavery, selling to our family is not necessarily a bad thing! ”
Yes! If there is a vicious master, then the family will fall into the fire pit. In the well in the backyard of a large family, which one has not sealed the corpse of the next person?
"Okay! Then buy people! Song Laohan made a decision, he pointed to those overgrown inferior fields, "I have to double these fields, the weeds are turned into the soil, and the land can be fertilized in the next year." ”
Song Ziran had a flash of inspiration and whispered to Mrs. Wu: "Milk, I have alfalfa seeds in my space, why don't we scatter some in the ground, wait for the alfalfa to grow, and turn it deep into the soil to fertilize the field, what do you think?" ”
"Now Sa? It's a little too late, right? Snow should fall in less than two months. Wu Pozi reminded.
Song Ziran said in his heart: The seeds of my alfalfa are improved, and the growth period is short. Besides, I don't mean that it will bloom and bear fruit, but if it is turned into the fertile land, at most the plant will be smaller, and the branches and leaves will not be so lush.
"Alfalfa, what alfalfa?" Song Laohan listened to it and asked curiously.
