"Little lady, what are we doing now? It's so dark, why can't we light up the lights?"
Pomegranate put some powder into the paper, and took the small strips made by the little son and put them in, and rolled the paper according to the method taught by Wang Juan. This morning, nearly a thousand have been made and are still being made. Now, this puzzled Pomegranate.
"What you use in the New Year is to replace firecrackers. You don’t need to throw them into the fire. You can slap them when you light them up. You buy these pomegranates. Don’t tell others. This thing will be broken when it is ignited. It burns in an instant, and lighting a lamp will burn us all to death."
Wang Juan made another twister, gently placed it aside, explaining to pomegranate, she knew more about gunpowder than Zhang Xiaobao, and if she wanted to, she could make a powerful earth bomb.
Pomegranate only knows a little bit now, but I still haven’t fully understood it. I’ve never touched it before, and nodded and promised, "Don’t worry, little lady, I will never tell other people, not even my family. This thing is more quiet than firecrackers." Big?"
"It's big, it's louder than the sound of firecrackers in the fire when salt is thrown. This thing is so loud that it can blow people up." Zhang Xiaobao also made one and put it on the ground with Wang Juan, with clothes on his face and head. They were all stained with gunpowder, but they didn't dare to reach out to shoot, let alone scratch their heads.
"Xiaobao, do the dealers have to give cucumbers to their homes? Will they tell me?" Wang Juan also felt that this job was too boring, that is, she and Zhang Xiaobao would not repeat it all morning when they were replaced by any other children. one thing.
"Send, of course, they have to send it. They already know what they are growing there. They want to eat something fresh. They really want to talk about it. They can wait till now? I think they are all good and popular. We will wait for next year. Work together to make their lives better."
Zhang Xiaobao is now very envious of the people of this era. Those who farm the land are too honest. Give them a little bit of benefit. They will remember that if there is a little hope in life, they will work hard. They didn't lock the door. I really don't know how the people at the two Zhuangzi chose them before they came here.
Seeing that Nong Zi was almost done, Wang Juan stopped to take a break, thinking about the fact that there were so many people in the two families that there was no disagreement, and he felt happy but that, so he thought about it and asked:
"Xiaobao, it's confirmed that there is no Naqu Yuanli, so you are counting on using this thing to improve production efficiency? If you think about it more, is there a better way?"
"Yes." Zhang Xiaobao thought for a while, and finally spit out a word, and then said: "You can let them keep the seeds of those single plants with good yield, so that after a few generations, high-yield varieties can appear. How stable.
There is another kind. After the new year, let Erniu take two people to Shandong, that is, Henan Road. Let’s buy some stones and put them in the fields. We can also drink water for bathing, and also for livestock. For example, Niu Ma, I just don’t know if Er Niu can find it. "
"What stone? It can be put in the ground and eaten." Wang Juan really didn't know what stone had so many functions.
"Medical stone, I remember there are three places, other places can't remember, Shandong, Liaoning, Mongolia, this thing is like physiological saline, even though it is only a small proportion, the effect is not small."
"I knew that it was this kind of stone. I used to have this kind of stone when I took a bath. There are also places where you get mineral water. Don't go to Mongolia. It's too dangerous. The Turks are occupied. Let's go to Shandong. What's it called? Henan Road, what's the specific location?"
Wang Juan is familiar with the name as soon as he hears it, and he does use a lot of places, so he agrees.
"I don’t know, who knows the specific location. I didn’t expect this at the time. I found out occasionally. This is a bit of an impression. I always drink natural soda when I am outside. The water before it was polluted is delicious."
Zhang Xiaobao curled his mouth helplessly. Thinking of the river at the beginning, he felt a little uncomfortable. The water was polluted and the factory turned yellow.
"Okay, if you don't know, don't know, pomegranate, stop for a while, eat, today I will get some more cucumbers, dipping sauce, and broth, don’t forget."
Wang Juan was not ready to continue thinking about these things. He gave an order and walked out with Zhang Xiaobao. Pomegranate put aside her work, and finally went out, locked the door, arranged for someone to wash the two boys, and then she went to the kitchen again. arrange.
…
"Cucumbers, cucumbers in winter, I will face Xiangrui, please come and eat them soon, please eat some fresh cucumbers in the Chinese New Year."
In Sanshui County, in front of the Yamen, the yamen were still yelling in rotation. At the beginning, no one bought them. Those who came to watch the excitement were not wealthy. When I heard that it was 30 cents to buy a catty of cucumbers, I was shocked. It was really true. It's too expensive. In summer, you can buy three catties for a penny, and you can exchange a lot for an egg. Who is willing to buy a few cucumbers with thirty penny
Cheng County Order and these people were not in a hurry. They didn't expect these people to buy it. They just had to gather around, and some people would naturally know the news.
Sure enough, after calling for half an hour, two people came over. From the clothes on their bodies, it could be seen that they belonged to the subordinates of wealthy people.
The two squeezed closer, looked at the cucumbers, nodded, and shook their heads. One of them said, "It's okay, the flowers and thorns are not too few, but they don't feel so green anymore. It's a little expensive for thirty cents per catty."
While speaking, the man raised his head and glanced at the yaman who bought cucumbers. There was something different in his eyes. The yaye understood when he saw that he wanted to lower the price for him, so he turned around and kept this part of the money. Next, this kind of gaze also has government officials.
Without going back and asking the magistrate, the yelling directly said: "For thirty essays, you can only ask for five catties at a time, auspicious, how can you bargain?"
The yakuza didn’t care about this person’s superior appearance, as did the other people around him, and one yakuza also said to the side, “This kind of thing is not something ordinary people can ask for, Xiang Rui, can ordinary people bear it? ?"
These words were deliberately demeaning the identities of the two people. Sure enough, when the two heard these words, their expressions changed. It was like cursing them.
The person who hadn't spoken said at this moment, "Don't think you are a yamen, do you know who we are?"
"Who? People who can't afford Xiangrui, who else can they be? Xiangrui of this county, the adults have already listed, not to mention you, everyone will pay the price, and you can only ask for five catties at a time. If you want more, wait in line. ."
If the yaman is changed to the usual, he would still be a little worried, but today he doesn’t have to think about it. Who dares to look for something at this time, let alone anything else, the people above will eventually know that in the second year of Kaiyuan, today’s saints are all waiting for good news. .
The county magistrate Cheng hadn't gone in, so he stood outside, not because it was not cold outside. Since it was Xiangrui, he had to set an example, and then he began to speak.
"How can such auspiciousness bargain? It's really blasphemy, no matter how much you pay today, please don't do it."
Seeing that the county magistrate didn’t even ask about the identity of the two of them, they were completely discouraged. They wanted to make a profit. Who knows that they weren’t the ones who came out to buy, they just met. That's it, wait for the people from the mansion to buy it and buy it back, and the man in the mansion will definitely reward you when you eat it.
If the opportunity is missed in vain, it won’t happen. The attitude of the person who spoke first changed, and a smile appeared on his face: "Auspicious, it is indeed auspicious. Just now I am making everyone laugh. How can we bargain? , Five catties, please, be sure to please, put us five catties first."
Seeing what he said, the yavier didn't know if he couldn't sell it anymore, so he looked back at the magistrate.
The county magistrate Cheng Lingxiang also considered for a moment. As I said just now, if you don’t sell it, just sell it. If you don’t sell it, it will really offend people. Besides, these two were the first to buy. After a little pondering, they said:
"Well, since you two sincerely want to invite you, stand aside and wait for others to invite you to see if you two are sincere under the snow. We'll talk about it then."
When the two people heard this, they were finally relieved, and they also understood that they had all said that just now. Naturally, it is impossible to change them right away. Let them stand in the heavy snow and deal with Xiangrui and both of them. Is the best way.
They didn't dare to say anything anymore. Buy the second one. It's better than giving the opportunity to others. They stood aside obediently and let the heavy snow keep falling on them.
Someone wants to buy this, and the people around are unwilling to leave. I want to see how many people will buy such expensive things, or just ask for it.
The matter was really crowded. Just now two people wanted to buy, and someone came back to ask for the price. It should be a maid. She was wearing a satin dress. When she squeezed in, there were cucumbers for sale. He listened to the price again. Nothing. Said that the change throws a tael of silver.
"Okay, Xiangrui is good, I will ask for twenty catties first, just the money."
The surrounding area was amazed. This is so rich that he actually used a tael of silver to buy twenty catties.
The yaman hesitated again, I don’t know whether to sell it, or whether the county magistrate Cheng Lingxiang has a way, "This girl, this auspicious can only buy five catties at a time. The girl can buy five catties first, and wait for others to line up to buy it, and then the girl will buy it. ."
The time of speaking, the yavier had weighed five jins, and also weighed five jins to the two people, and waited for the two to leave, and then weighed five jins to the girl, and asked if there are any more please, around If people don't answer, it's easier to handle now. Give the girl two five pounds in a row, even if you are in line.
Taking the cucumber, the girl smiled slightly, "Thank you, there are still cucumbers in winter. The magistrate is really good at it, and I will tell Master Yu when I go back."
At this time, no one in the surroundings said that the price was expensive anymore, some really bought it, and some even paid more.
The county magistrate Cheng Lingxiang winked at the Ya Ya, and the Ya Ya shouted again, "Auspiciousness, winter auspiciousness, I will face auspiciousness."
