Chapter 16 The old lady invites you to eat chicken
Li Rong was very satisfied: "It's already very good! Miss Third, please do the math, how much did we earn today?"

Xie Yanyan figured it out after a few clicks. Caustic soda and lard were not expensive, wild flowers and weeds were costless, and a piece of soap cost less than 20 yuan.

The current exchange rate is that one tael of silver is equal to 260 yuan, and a piece of soap sells for 10 taels of silver, which is really a lot of money.

A total of 99 yuan was sold today. The agents made a total of 693 taels, and Xie Yanyan made 297 taels.

Liu Mingjie was really convinced. It was the first time he knew that he could still sell things like this.

Pregnant women and little boys are the caretakers of Song Linngling and Xiao Baozi. The first man to wash his face is Jie Chao Zhao.

Thirty-six strategies have been used. The third lady is really a talent.

Li Rong and Liu Mingjie were grinning from ear to ear, carrying the silver bags.

As soon as he was happy, he opened a small stove for Xie Anfeng's family and treated them to a table of food and wine in the tavern next to the inn.

While they were eating, Li Rong ordered Liu Mingjie, Lao Zhao and others to rush to Ruyang City to buy caustic soda and lard. They received a large order of 1000 soaps from a merchant.

After eating and drinking in the tavern, Huangfu Ming came out of the inn with a smile on his face.

He raised his hand and said hello to Xie Anfeng: "General Xie, I'm Huangfu Ming."

When Xie Anfeng found out that Shen had asked for 300,000 silver to promise Xie Yanyan to the man in front of him, his face became very ugly and he said, "I'm offending Xie Anfeng."

"You will always be a general who protects our home and country in our hearts." Huangfu Ming had a very good attitude and said politely to Xie Anfeng, "I heard someone said that the third lady developed soap?"

"Ah."

"Look, can we cooperate? You can exclusively supply it to me, or sell it on consignment in my shop. The price is negotiable."

"We are convicts with an uncertain future. This will not work out."

Xie Anfeng didn't dare to tell about his cooperation with Li Rong and the others. He knew this kind of thing well. Although Li Rong and the others were of low status, they were still considered members of the public family.

"I am very willing to cooperate with the general. I will say hello to all Huangfu's shopkeepers along the way. The door of Huangfu's will always be open to the general."

"talk later."

Xie Anfeng didn't dare to make excuses, so he quickly avoided it.

They are prisoners. Li Rong and others should be polite to them for the sake of money, but they can't be frivolous.

There was no further delay in Ruyang City, and everyone embarked on the road to exile again.

On the carriage, Song Linngling said to Xie Yanyan: "Sister-in-law, if I can do the job of making soap, please arrange for me to do it."

Jiang Shuang also said: "I can do it too."

"Then help me deal with the grass and flowers, and squeeze out the grass and flower juice." Since Jiang Shuang couldn't throw it away, she couldn't ask her to eat in vain.

She made the recipe herself, and left the heating and cooking process to Song Linngling.

The stirring work was left to Xie Anfeng and his eldest brother Xie Ning, which was very laborious and crucial.

Demolding, embossing, sealing, and packaging are all final steps, and both Song Linngling and Jiang Shuang can do them.

When they came out of Yangcheng, Li Rong and the others kept urging everyone to leave quickly.

But this time Huangfuming's carriage team also came out with them.

His carriage was naturally extremely luxurious, with dozens of guards, two carriages, and dozens of horses.

Song Linngling whispered to Xie Yanyan: "We are an exile team, and Huangfu Ming has no shortage of guards. What do you want to do with us?"

Xie Yanyan kept his hands in his hands and said: "No matter what he wants to do, we just need to remember that no food in the world is free."

Song Linngling nodded, she had just heard that Huangfu Ming invited old Shen, Xie Jinrong, and Xie Anhuai to have lunch, and also treated a few of them with a doctor. She didn't know what she wanted to do. Not long after leaving the city, Huangfuming stuffed some money into Li Rong and others, and invited Shen and Xiao Shen to take Xie Xiangxiang and Fang to take Xie Tingting on his carriage for a ride.

Both Shen and Xiao Shen were very moved, but Xie Xiangxiang refused: "Grandma, I'm not tired."

"How can you not be tired? You have so many blisters on your feet." Shen whispered, "Grandma and your mother are here, don't worry."

Xie Xiangxiang still shook his head.

Xie Yun, Xie Yao and Xie Qingmu boarded the carriage escorted by Huangfu Ming and were very happy.

The further away from Kyoto, the more desolate and desolate the village becomes.
It is now the third month of the lunar calendar, the earth is getting warmer, and the winter wheat in the ground is about to grow lushly and vigorously. However, the wheat seedlings are not growing well. They are taller than chopsticks and are green and yellow.

There are not many farmers working in the fields, there are very few plowing oxen, and they use straight-hook plows.

Seeing one person and one ox, or one person holding the plow and the other struggling to pull the plow to cultivate the land, Xie Yanyan's already serious face became even colder.

Song Linngling didn't know what happened. Her sister-in-law seemed very unhappy?

She followed her sister-in-law's line of sight and saw that the people holding the plow and those pulling the plow were both dark and thin, especially the one pulling the plow, who was still a half-grown child.

He sighed and comforted softly: "Sister, all farmers are like this."

Xie Yanyan remained silent. She thought about the straight-shaft plow. Although it was easy to make and sourced from simple materials, it was inefficient and time-consuming.

Qu Yuuli would not appear for another two to three hundred years. She turned around and dug around in the space. There was a Dahua Bookstore in the shopping mall, looking for Qu Yuuli's design and production drawings.

As the sun set, they walked to a village called Shangpeng. Li Rong went to contact the villagers and rested in Shangpeng tonight.

The dirt road outside the village is an official road. The government cooperates with Shangpeng Village. The escorted prisoners often stay in the village and will pay the village some money, so the prisoners are led to the village ancestral hall by familiar routes.

The ancestral hall is very simple, and the door of the room where the ancestors' tablets are placed is locked. There are two wing rooms on both sides, and the others are sheds with straw mats under them.

There are beds, cooking stoves, and resting places in the side rooms.

The shed outside is for prisoners to rest.

Several pots of mixed flour pancakes were steamed for the prisoners, some hot water was heated, a large wooden barrel was brought over, and a pile of earthenware bowls were brought over. This was the prisoners' dinner.

Huangfu Ming would not be in the same yard as the prisoners, but he asked the guards to give the stove to Shen.

I bought three chickens from the village and said I would give them to Mr. Xie’s family to nourish them.

Mrs. Shen sat upright, waiting for the guards to bring the chicken to her properly, so that the prisoners could take a good look at it. Even if they were in trouble, the Hou Mansion would still be the Hou Mansion.

Li Rong frowned and said: "Although we don't object to relatives and friends sending money and supplies, if you do this, it will arouse the hearts of the prisoners and affect our escort. These chickens should be returned, and you can give them some pancakes and porridge. "

Huangfuming's guard took out 50 taels of silver and handed it to Li Rong.
Li Rong took the money and said to the guard: "I won't do this again."

Xiao Shen and Fang bought some oil, onions, ginger, and salt from Zhu Ba, and stewed three chickens on the earthen stove in the yard.

A large pot of braised chicken was brought to the table, and Mrs. Shen, her sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren gathered around a large table.

Xie Yun picked up a large piece of chicken, took a comfortable bite under the envious eyes of the prisoners, and exclaimed: "Yeah, it's very fresh!"

The prisoners around him kept swallowing their saliva, but they quickly pulled their children away.

Xie Tingting's injury was better and she was alive. She looked at Xie Anfeng's family and said, "Oh, there are too many chickens. The chicken legs, wings, chicken hearts and livers have to be thrown away!"

"Don't be in a hurry to eat, wait for your second uncle and his family." The old lady was uncharacteristically smiling and said very affectionately, "Ms. Jiang, why don't you call the three girls over to eat chicken together?"
