Blessed peasant girl has space

Chapter 144 Ebony Hairpin
Tang Mi was a craftsman in her previous life. She once heard people say that 'even if there is a box of jewels, it is not as good as a box of ebony'.

Modern people like diamonds, gold, amber... But craftsmen prefer ebony, because the conditions for wood to become ebony are extremely harsh.

There are many varieties of ebony, such as Jiang's hairpin, which can only be seen through careful attention to be of high-quality golden nanmu.

Country people have never seen the world, not to mention golden nanmu, even the most common ebony, so this hairpin escaped unharmed back then because it looked ordinary, making everyone think it was an ordinary wooden hairpin .

Wooden hairpins are not expensive in the world, you can buy one for a penny, and the hairpin in Jiang's hand has a broken corner, so it is even more worthless.

"Mother, the second brother is busy these days, why don't I make some hairpins similar to this hairpin!" Tang Mi thought for a while, then said to Jiang Shi, "When the time comes, everyone in our family will wear one, and I will give it to you as a present." Go out, if grandma's family sees it, they will definitely come after her!"

Ebony wood is rare, but it doesn't mean it doesn't exist in Tang Mi's space.

It only takes a few months to make ebony in her space, but after all, it is something that comes out of the space, not golden nanmu, so it must be different from Jiang's.

Tang Mi's craftsmanship is good, no worse than Tang Liang's, so everyone in the family agrees.

After this night, the Tang family has undergone a lot of changes. If Tang Mi and Xia He are going to the town, the family will definitely pick someone to accompany them.

Tang Shu studies harder than before. He understands that only by studying can he get ahead. Cheng Jing in the village is a good example.

Half a month passed so unhurriedly, and when Village Chief Li came to look for Tang Dashi again, the weather was already very cold.

I thought it was cold enough last year, but this year is even more exaggerated than last year. It's just that I can feel a cold chill as soon as I go out.

Although it hasn't snowed yet, the water in the paddy field has condensed into a thin layer of ice. As long as you poke your finger on it, you can hear the sound of 'clicking'. If it is thicker, you have to use enough strength To break through the ice.

The children in the village had nothing to play with. When they passed by the fields, they would pick up some ice from the fields and rivers to play with. Their little hands were red from the cold, and the adults scolded them again when they saw it.

"I asked for you that Liushupo and Qingshuishan will cost 500 taels of silver!" Village Chief Li said while rubbing his hands, "Liusupo is cheaper, but Qingshuishan is more expensive!"

"You also know that there are many bamboo forests, springs, and ponds in Qingshui Mountain. People in the village often go to the mountain to cut trees these years! Although it is a bit more expensive, it is indeed a good place!"

"But this willow slope..."

Village head Li also knew that he shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs, but his daughter-in-law also made a lot of money working in the Tang family.

This year Tang Dashi kindly exchanged some of the grain seeds for him, and he can't let Tang Dashi suffer!

"You know, the terrain of Liushupo is not very good. There are many thorns and sandy land around. If you want to open up wasteland to make fields, you may not be able to do it! At most, you can only plant some fruit trees! But things like pears and peaches are also sold. If you can’t get a good price, you can only dry it in the sun, and how many years will it take to sell the dried fruit to pay back the cost!”

Common fruits in the countryside are plums, pears, peaches... cherries can be sold for a good price, but these things are too difficult to take care of.

It seems that their family can get some every year, which is sent by Peng Cui's father.

"To tell you the truth, I really fell in love with this piece of sand!" Tang Dashi said to Village Chief Li, "The watermelons grown in the sand are so sweet!"

Village Chief Li was stunned for a moment. If watermelons can be grown in this sandy land, it would be really good!Because watermelons are relatively easy to store, they can be sold at a price in the county!

Like Tang Guqiu, there is a family named Yang in the mountains, the melons they grow sell very well every year, and even people in the town come here to buy melons.But this family is very careful, the melon seeds will never be sold.

It's not that no one bought watermelons and took out the melon seeds in them to grow them, but they couldn't grow good melons, which is also very strange.

"Really?" Village head Li didn't hear anyone talking about it, and his family also raised watermelons, but just threw a few seedlings on the ground, "You can think about it! If you buy this, you won't regret it." Already!"

Tang Dashi patted his chest, "Oh, brother Li Cheng, just trust me! Can I still hurt myself? You don't know my farming skills?"

"In the next year, I guarantee that you will eat the melons raised by my family!"

Seeing Tang Dashi slapping his chest with a 'bang bang' sound, Village Chief Li didn't say anything else.

The purchase of mountains and forests is going to the yamen, but this time it is easy to do, and the people in the yamen are not too embarrassed. Village head Li will misunderstand whether the Hu family has come forward again.

However, as soon as the mountain forest was established, it caused a sensation in the village.

The country people have nothing to do in winter, and some bad-mouthed women will get together to talk when they are free.

Originally, what they were talking about these days was about the marriage of the Su family. Su Ting was going to marry a girl from the Wang family. It was said that this happy event would be a big one, and everyone in the village should see how the scholars handle the wedding.

Some people were a little envious, but some people laughed.

Isn't Cheng Jing of the Cheng family also engaged?It was still the girl from the Pei family, and she was not as arrogant as the Su family.

The Pei family is not the Wang family, but the Pei family is a big family.

The Liu family has been rather complacent these past few days. After all, the girl from the Wang family has a lot of dowry. After the girl from the Wang family gets married, there will be two more maids in the family.

At that time, she will have her daughter-in-law and three maids to serve her, not to mention how comfortable she is, she can put on a good show.

Liu Shi was the same as in the past, when she arrived at the place where the village people and women with bad mouths gathered, the little girl who followed her immediately put down the stool in her hand, and after spreading another layer of cushions, Liu Shi sat down.

But what was different before was that everyone in the village was talking about what happened to the Tang family recently.

"Tang Dashi really bought both Liushupo and Qingshui Mountain? Don't get me wrong!"

"Why did I lie to you? Didn't Zhou Lian give birth to a daughter a few days ago? When I went to visit her, I heard her talk about it! She said that it was the village chief who went to the county with Tang Dashi It was done, and I said I would tell the village after the spring!"

"If Zhou Lian said it, then there must be no problem! I've also heard people say that the Tang family has made a lot of money selling hemp and cotton threads over the years, and even bought a lot of cotton in the county this year!"

"Isn't it! Didn't the Huang family and the Wei family grow a lot of cotton this year? It is said that they are all sold to the Tang family!"

Everyone in the village knew that the Tang family had made money, otherwise they wouldn't have hired people to spin yarn.
