Peasant girl farming: I did beauty in ancient times

Chapter 92 Make Money

"Don't run around and don't go to the river bank." The officer reprimanded and agreed by default.

"Oh, that's for sure." Fang replied.

After Zhang Liulang fetched water, Zhang Sanlang stewed the chopped bones, then added some white radish, boiled it for an hour, and waited for Lao Ding to rest and eat, and the soup was ready.

As soon as the fire was lit, Zhang Liulang went to the top of the mountain to look for firewood, and left the unused firewood here for tomorrow.

Fang went to the stream to wash vegetables, Zhang Sanlang looked at the fire, and saw that everyone was in order, Lin Yuehua was relieved, she couldn't help, she wanted to see Lao Ding's military service.

The river was not far away, Lin Yuehua walked towards the river, and of course looked at it from a distance.

Lin Yuehua saw many people standing by the river with their trouser legs arm in arm, adding stones to the place where the embankment broke, and another group of people transporting stones. Although it was spring, standing in the water for a long time was really unbearable.

Lin Yuehua felt that it was right for her to ask to bring more pots to boil ginger water. She planned that even if Lao Ding didn't buy her food, the ginger water would be given to Lao Ding for free.

Zhang Youliang, who was carrying stones by the river, spotted Lin Yuehua with sharp eyes.

"Erlang, do you think there is a girl standing there? Why do I look like a big girl?"

"Uncle Zhang, she looks like a big girl, why is she here?"

As soon as Zhang Erlang finished speaking, the officer whipped him and scolded him: "What are you muttering about! Don't try to be lazy if you don't work fast! If you are lazy, don't eat lunch."

Zhang Erlang hurried to work. If he didn't eat lunch, he would have no strength. He would eat the dry food he brought at home for breakfast, and he would not be allowed to eat lunch.
Lin Yuehua also saw the guard whipping someone, but she didn't see it was Zhang Erlang.

"The official is really vicious." Lin Yuehua muttered and left the river.

When Lao Ding was exhausted from hunger, the gongs and drums sounded. Hearing the sound, Lao Ding knew that dinner was about to be served, so he stopped what he was doing, and the hula la scattered and ran towards the thatched cottage.

The thatched hut is the place where meals are distributed, and the officials will deliver the prepared meals regularly, urging people to receive the meals. Today is porridge, and each person has another steamed bun.

The steamed rice porridge delivered was already cold, and Lao Ding, who had received the meal, squatted aside and began to eat.

"It smells so good! Why does it smell like meat to me?" A Lao Ding took a sip of the cold porridge and thought he was hallucinating.

Someone chimed in: "I smell meat too."

Zhang Sanlang was cooking. He put the meat into the pot, and the skin of the fat meat "slicked" in the pot, and the oil flowed out. He added cabbage and stir-fried over high heat.

"Folks, come buy broth! Cheap and delicious broth!" Lin Yuehua yelled towards Lao Ding's side where he was eating.

Fang squatted down to find a bowl of soup with meat, and found Zhang Youliang of his family: "Master, drink it while it's hot."

"There's a lot of meat in the bowl. It's specially reserved for you. Eat it quickly." Fang said in a low voice.

Until Zhang Youliang took the bowl handed over by Fang, he still looked dull and unbelievable.

"Hurry up and eat! I'm going back to work." Fang's chubby body slid away again.

It wasn't until Fang left that Zhang Youliang came back to his senses. His wife really came, and she brought broth.

At this moment, Lin Yuehua and the others' stall was already full of people. Of course, everyone in Linjia Village knew them, and they were willing to pay a few pennies for a broth, so the people in Liujia Village watched curiously.

"You really boiled it with meat?" The villagers of the Liu family wondered how much the meat cost.

Lin Yuehua said with a smile: "This uncle, would you like to have a bowl? It's definitely boiled with real meat and bones. There are also vegetables, two coins per spoonful, would you like to have a spoonful?"

Zhang Sanlang used to be a cook in a restaurant in the county, and the dishes he cooked were so bright that many people couldn't help but laugh at them just by looking at the dishes.

Someone couldn't help but took out the money: "Give me a spoonful of food."

Lin Yuehua gave him a spoon full of vegetables, and Fang's heart ached as she watched from the side. The girl in her heart was too sincere to know that the spoon was bouncing.

The man took a spoonful of vegetables and saw that there were slices of meat in it, his eyes widened immediately, he put it aside and started eating the steamed buns.

With this beginning, the villagers of Liujia Village also rushed forward one after another to get vegetables.

"Folks, take your time, everyone in the other family line up." Zhang Liulang yelled to maintain the order.

The official errand who has already received filial piety, drinking the hot broth, just feels comforted in his heart, and turns a blind eye to Lin Yuehua and the others when they buy vegetables, as long as they don't make trouble.

"Don't tell me, this broth is really tasty."

"It's really good. With salt."

The two officials chatted in the shed, and they didn't care about the bustle and bustle outside. They only had the strength to work after eating and drinking.

Lin Yuehua is not just ordering vegetables, she also observes Lao Ding's consumption situation, and she finds that most people are actually reluctant to spend two pennies to order vegetables, and broth sells better for two pennies.

After Lao Ding and the others finished eating and went to work, the four of Lin Yuehua and the others had time to rest. Zhang Sanlang quickly fried a vegetable, and the four of them ate with the unsold soup.

"Brother Zhang San, your craftsmanship is really good." Lin Yuehua commented after drinking the broth and eating the dishes.

Zhang Sanlang has always been honest, he smiled shyly and embarrassedly: "Big girl, you are too much."

"My third brother is still talented in cooking. My father actually taught all six of us how to cook. It's a pity that the same dishes and the same pot, the five of us cook, are not as good as the third brother. "

Zhang Sanlang was talking about the interesting stories about their family, Lin Yuehua was listening, feeling a little envious in her heart, it's interesting that there are so many brothers, she used to be an only child, and she never experienced the kind of fights that Zhang Sanlang said .

After dinner, Lin Yuehua said: "Brother Zhang, let's make an extra pot of ginger soup tonight, and give it to the laborers for free. In addition, we can bring less ingredients tomorrow."

"Big girl, I think we can cook all the dishes we brought in at night, and if there are too many, we can send them to the two officials, and ask him to promise us to put the big crock in the thatched cottage." Zhang Liulang suggested.

Zhang Liulang felt that the big crock was too heavy, but the iron pot was precious, so he wanted to take it home.

"Okay. We can figure out how many dishes to prepare tomorrow when they are sold out tonight." Lin Yuehua didn't plan to make a lot of money, but she wanted to deliver the dishes for free, but she didn't dare to say.

The business at night was slightly worse than at noon, but it was not bad, and the prepared soup was sold out.

Those who bought it at noon were reluctant to buy it at night. Lin Yuehua said that he would give ginger soup as a gift, and those who didn't buy the broth and vegetables were also happy, and they could drink it hot.

All the copper coins were handed over to Lin Yuehua for safekeeping. After returning home, Lin Yuehua finished counting the money in front of the other three.

"The total is 150 Wen. After deducting the cost of 350 Wen, the remaining [-] Liu Wen. How about this? The odd [-] Wen will be left in tomorrow's account."

Lin Yuehua divided the money, Fang's 140 Wen, Zhang Brothers [-] Wen.
