Wang's heart sank, the people in the village are like this. When you are poor, they look down on you and bully you. When you are better off than them, they are jealous of you and don't want to see you good, and they deliberately do things to disgust you.
Some people will plow the ridges on their own side bit by bit every time they plow the ground, and then dig some new mud and pile it on other people's fields, thereby occupying other people's fields or vegetable gardens bit by bit. .
Some public resources, such as the water from the river to irrigate the rice fields, wild fruits and vegetables on the mountains, prey, fish in the river, etc., as long as they are ownerless, they all want to take them for themselves.
Every year, people quarrel and fight over snatching these things.
Mrs. Wang was worried that now that the leper's daughter-in-law said this, the whole village would ask them to compensate Luosi's money. What should she do
After hearing this, Wen Xin couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "It's so shameless!"
Wen Ran couldn't help but mutter: "Why don't they take our family with them when they make money!"
Wen Nuan laughed at the shamelessness of these people. She smiled and said: "My grandma has already told me a simple and cheap recipe. But since everyone doesn't believe it, do you want the recipe we sell to the restaurant? Tell everyone. Yes! But there is a condition."
The second leper's wife immediately said: "Of course I want it, what are the conditions?"
Wen Nuan smiled: "Because this recipe has been sold, if you tell anyone else, you will have to compensate the owner of Ruyi Restaurant two hundred taels of silver. Since my aunt wants everyone to make money together, who wants the recipe for fried snails?" , you just count each household and collect some money, and if we have collected two hundred taels, we will tell you the recipe. From now on, we will all work together to sell snails to build a new house, wear new clothes, get rich, and become well-off! "
Nuan Nuan was deliberately very excited at the end, as if we were going to make a fortune together.
But everyone was instantly poured cold water on them.
Collect two hundred taels of silver together to accompany you? Wenjia Village is not a big village, with only about twenty households, which means each household has to pay almost ten taels of silver!
How can this be!
If everyone sells fried snails, is there any money to be made? I'm afraid I won't be able to earn back the ten taels of silver if I sell it for a lifetime. Forget it, I don't want it anymore!
After hearing this, several people left quickly, and they were rushing home to cook!
The second leper's wife: "What? Two hundred taels of silver? Why don't you go and grab it! It's just a daydream. Why should we collect the money to compensate?"
Yongfu's wife nodded: "Why do you want us to help!"
Wen Nuan's little face turned cold: "Then why should I tell you my recipe for free? Should we pay for the two hundred taels ourselves? Sorry, my family doesn't owe you anything!"
"Then after you touch the snails in the river, you have to pay the villagers some money!"
Wen Nuan sneered: "Are the snails in the river yours? If you let them call you grandma, I will pay you money! Grandma, let's go!"
Mrs. Wang was so angry that her temples ached. She couldn't help but said: "The snails in the river are ownerless. Whoever touches them belongs to them. When we touched them, we didn't stop you from going down to the river to touch them! Now there is another snail from the bottom of the river." There are a lot of snails crawling up, now go and touch all the snails in the river and take them home! By the way, take all the water in the river home! Let’s see if we have any objections!”
The family ignored Er Leizi's daughter-in-law and Yongfu's daughter-in-law and left quickly.
They didn't get any benefits, and they were so angry that they were itching their teeth.
Yongfu's daughter-in-law sighed: "Just wait, her family's plague god is sick every three days, and he may fall ill again one day. He has spent all his money and borrowed it from everywhere. Don't even try to borrow from my family. I won't borrow a penny!" "
After saying that, she twisted her hips, pushed open the dilapidated wooden door, and entered the house.
The second leper's daughter-in-law also sighed: "I won't borrow it either! Just show off after you have a few stinky money! Maybe you'll lose everything again that day!"
She walked back to the shabbiest adobe house in the village, opened the broken wooden door with a creak, and entered the house.
When Wen Nuan returned home, the family ate something casually. Wen Nuan took out the contents of several large pottery jars at home, vacated several large pottery jars, cleaned them, and first made vinegar from the dried persimmons.
Wen Nuan originally planned to go to her grandfather's house to buy it yesterday, but she didn't have time. It's not suitable to store the persimmons for too long after cleaning and drying them.
So the family was busy cleaning the pottery jar, sterilizing it with boiling water, then wiping away the water with clean cotton towels sterilized by boiling water, letting it dry, then removing the stems of the persimmons one by one, and putting them into the pottery jar layer by layer. Inside, coded, sealed, and allowed to ferment naturally for several months before further processing.
Nuan Nuan and the others are very busy here.
Wen Jiarui from Fucheng took the three Chun brothers to Lushan Academy, and successfully met with Principal Lin Honghao with a letter of recommendation.
Lin Honghao decided to test them because of King Jin's face. He originally had no intention of accepting a disciple, but after passing the test and looking at the results of several children, he changed his mind.
Because he is indeed a talent that can be cultivated. He has only attended school for half a year, but someone who has gained such knowledge without actually going to school is even better than students who have studied in school for several years. This proves that they really want to I study hard every day.
Lin Honghao didn't know that Wen Jiarui would burn a pile of firewood every night and rely on the firelight to teach several children to read. For so many years, even in the dog days of summer, the heat was unbearable.
Moreover, he takes his two brothers to work on weekdays. When he has time, he will test their knowledge and seize all the time to let them study. Naturally, the knowledge is not much different.
Lin Honghao looked at the three papers and was very satisfied. He looked at the three brothers and asked: "I am very strict. Whether it is the cold winter or the scorching heat, as my disciple, you have to get up at the beginning of the day to read every day. You can't fall asleep until Wen Shu arrives at night, and you can't delay even a day! Are you really willing to worship me as your teacher?"
"A strict teacher produces a good disciple, and I like the students to be gentle and honest."
... ...
The three brothers expressed their willingness.
Lin Honghao nodded. After the three of them performed the apprenticeship ceremony, he gave the three brothers more than a dozen books and assigned a bunch of homework. He asked them to memorize those books when they report to the college after the Lantern Festival next year, and assigned them When your homework is done, give it to him.
After the three brothers agreed, they happily left Lushan Academy with their books.
At this time, other students had finished their exams, and many students in the academy left.
As soon as Wen Liang came out, Wen Jiafu walked over to him: "Brother Liang, how did you do in the exam?"
Wen Liang smiled: "Not bad. I will definitely pass." There happened to be a big question that Wen Shu saw the day before yesterday and asked Master Guo for advice.
Wen Jiafu felt relieved after hearing this, and said excitedly: "Okay, okay..."
The coachman of the Song family next to him heard this and became more respectful and said: "Master, eldest son, let's talk about it back to the house. Madam is still waiting for good news about the eldest son!"
The two got into the carriage with a smile. Wen Jiafu was about to climb onto the carriage when he seemed to see a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw four people wearing brand new brocade robes preparing to climb into a carriage.
Wen Liang had already gotten on the carriage. Seeing that his father didn't know what he was looking at, he stuck his head out and said, "Dad, who are you looking at?"
"I seem to have seen your fourth uncle and brother Chun."
Wen Liang sneered after hearing this: "You got it wrong! The people here are either rich or noble, how can they be qualified to come here."
Wen Jiafu: "That's right. How could your fourth uncle and Brother Chun come here? They haven't read a book for a few days, so they dare to come and take the exam at Lushan Academy?"
Must be dazzled.
Wen Liang lowered his eyes, covering up the disdain in his eyes: He is not even qualified to come! I can’t find anyone to write a letter of recommendation, how can I get one!
The carriage drove away.
