The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 74 Excited

She counted the amount of money again, and when she was able to match, she nodded and said, "Keep the account book, I'll keep the money, and I'll record it like this from now on..."

"En." Dabao replied with a smile, his uneasy heart calmed down a lot, and then he went to wash the gong box.

After the family had lunch, Butcher Wang came, leaving Dabao and Sibao at home, Zhong Gensheng put down the bowls and washed his hands, then took a pot, made rough tea, and brought a few sea bowls, and joined Shen Sisi Went to the side of the road and waited.

The people from the county yamen came very slowly, they came by bullock cart, and two yamen servants came, Zhong Gensheng hurriedly greeted them, poured tea for them, and said with a smile: "It's been a hard journey, a little rough tea, don't dislike it... ..."

Seeing that the bowl was clean, the yamen servant took it with a smile and drank it, saying: "Where is Lizheng's house? Tell him to come over. Let's go directly to the wasteland. After measuring, we will go back to the yamen. There are many things..."

Shen Sisi smiled and said: "Father, I'll call, you go to the field first..."

After Shen Sisi finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Zhong Gensheng took out a sling of money from his pocket, handed it to the yamen servant, and said with a smile: "...Don't dislike me, my family is really poor. There is nothing to entertain at home, only these rough tea..."

The two yamen servants looked at each other and smiled knowingly. Unexpectedly, this poor villager, who looked tattered and dressed, was generous in his actions. The two became in a good mood, so they followed Zhong Gensheng to the western wasteland with the ox cart .

Lizheng came very quickly, the yamen servant stayed there for a while, Shen Sisi and Lizheng came, greeted each other, and began to measure the land boundary, which was on the side of the mountain, the yamen servant took the money, and naturally Desired to release water, he put a lot of size on the mountain appropriately, and then inserted the landmark, Zhong Gensheng collected the money for the landmark again, and the two happily got into the carriage and left.

Anyway, the villagers wouldn't buy the land on the mountain, and it's no big deal if they occupy some land. Shen Sisi and Zhong Gensheng knew this well, and money played a role.

Shen Sisi couldn't help but feel that money can turn ghosts around, and 35 taels of silver is really very cheap to buy such a large piece of land...

Li Zheng naturally knew it well, but kept silent, pretending that he didn't see or hear.

Zhong Gensheng looked at this place that would be his home from now on, and he was very happy in his heart, and he was a little reluctant to leave.Li Zheng saw him like this, so he took his leave first and left. Zhong Gensheng naturally told him to bring his family to dinner at night before watching him leave.

Then Shen Sisi smiled reassuringly, and at that place, said: "Father, our house will be built from here to there. The front yard is smaller, and it would be nice to plant a few fruit trees... I want to dig a hole in the backyard." A big pond, a vegetable field, a fruit grove, and a cowshed, Dad, our family’s business will grow in the future, and we will definitely build a cowshed for the calves, if one is not enough, we will live in two..."

"Okay, okay..." Zhong Gensheng looked at the land, full of longing in his heart, and said, "Little girl, father will definitely make you the most beautiful house, and you and Xiaohua will share one room, and you will not be allowed to squeeze in with her in the future." OK, okay?"

"Yeah." Shen Sisi smiled lightly: "Father, we need to build a big kitchen here in the front yard. From now on, we will cook braised pork here. We will sit in the yard and eat under the tree. Dig a well, build a large granary next to the kitchen, and dig a cellar inside the granary, you can store a lot of grain in the future, and the cellar can store vegetables, so you don’t have to worry about food in winter..."

Zhong Gensheng's brows and eyes were full of joy when he heard this, and said: "...Tu Niu, daddy listens to you. Whatever you say is what you say."

Shen Sisi smiled again: "Our family still needs to build a lot of furniture. We will get rid of all the old furniture and put them in the old house. We will sell them or rent them out in the future. Dad, what do you think?!"

"...Mmm." Zhong Gensheng almost smiled.

He bent down and hugged his little daughter, kissed him and said: "Good baby, Daddy will take you home, and our family will have a new house in the future."

Shen Sisi was amused by him, and said: "Father, now that the farming is slack, you have to build a house early, otherwise it will be difficult to start construction when the soil is frozen, and you have to buy green bricks, some are busy..."

Zhong Gensheng smiled and said: "Tomorrow morning, my father will collect the pigs, and in the afternoon, I will go to the village to talk to a few craftsmen. Don't worry, there are few jobs now, and they are all idle at home. They will come as soon as they are invited..."

"Remember to find an honest person and tell them clearly. Our family packs a lunch for 35 Wen a day, tea is provided, and lunch is full..." Shen Sisi knew that [-] Wen a day was considered high, and the village Most of the money here is [-] Wen, and the [-] Wen with better conditions does not care about lunch, and the money will not be paid until a year or two later. She laughed again: "Our family does not default on wages. As soon as the work is over, settle the settlement immediately, and tell them that you don’t have to wait until the New Year, I think they will be motivated to work, and there will be no delay in work. The most important thing is that our family has to wait until winter to move into a new house..."

"Success, daddy knows it well, don't worry..." Zhong Gensheng laughed and carried his daughter back home. Butcher Wang smiled when he saw him come back, "I heard that your family has bought land?"

"Yes..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile: "It's just a piece of wasteland, ready to be used to build a house. There are too many people in the family, it's too small..."

Butcher Wang smiled and didn't ask any further questions, but said, "Congratulations, your family's life will get better and better from now on."

It is also good that he can receive the business of slaughtering pigs every day. A catty of meat every day costs thirty Wen a day. It is not a small amount in a year. Only people like the Zhong family can kill pigs every day. How could he in the past? Can you receive such a good thing? !So Butcher Wang cherishes this opportunity very much. He doesn't want to make people feel unhappy, so he naturally doesn't ask too many questions. He also knows that there is a butcher in this village, but he doesn't invite him. It seems that there is a contradiction. Otherwise, why bother to go far away? Looking for him? !
Zhong Gen laughed without saying a word, went to the well to draw water and took a sip, and said: "... Then I will lend you a good word."

Butcher Wang continued to divide the pork. Shen Sisi had already taken the pig blood into the kitchen, made a pig blood cake, and wrapped some of it in greased paper, handed it to Butcher Wang, and said with a smile, "Uncle Wang, bring some This is for your children to eat..."

Butcher Wang hurriedly took it over, smelled it vigorously, and said, "Little boy, when some good fruits come from Uncle Wang's house, I will bring some for you to try..."

Shen Sisi smiled and didn't care, "Then thank you Uncle Wang first."

Butcher Wang smiled honestly. Although he wanted to take the things from others, he always felt that he owed them something. He thought that when the fruits of the family came down, he must bring some, or let the mother-in-law pickle them After all, he wants to do business with them for a long time, so he always takes their things for nothing, so he can't feel sorry.

Butcher Wang finished killing the pig, divided the pork, and left again. Dabao skillfully started to marinate the meat, and there was nothing busy in meditation. He just wandered around the yard for a while, and then went to see He Axiu and Niu Xiaohua Na Xie.

When the stewed meat was ready and all the dried stewed meat came out of the pot, He Axiu put down his shoes and said, "Xiao Hua, you continue to make this. I'll go to the backyard to pick some vegetables. I'm going to prepare dinner..."

After speaking, he hurried out.

He Axiu is really good at doing farm work, nothing to say, picked it up quickly, picked it up by the well, rinsed it, Shen Sisi ran over and said: "Mom, I'm here to cook... "

Niu Laogen bought wine and went into the yard. When he saw their mother and daughter, he smiled and said, "Let the local girl cook, she cooks delicious..."

He Axiu said helplessly: "Okay, I will continue to make shoes and let Dabao light the fire for you..."

"Success." Shen Sisi said and went into the kitchen, Sibao helped her pack the vegetables into the kitchen, and then went out to cut firewood. Now that the family uses a lot of firewood every day, he should prepare more, otherwise it will not be enough. Once it is done, chop it up and store it in the house. If it is not prepared, there will be no firewood when it rains.

Niu Laogen saw that he couldn't help much, so he said: "I'll go up the mountain for a walk, and see if I can meet pheasants and rabbits..." After speaking, he took his bow and wanted to go up the mountain.

He Axiu hurriedly said: "Don't go too deep, it's getting late now, it's not safe in the woods..."

"I know what's in my mind, I'll be back soon..." Niu Laogen left with a sullen head, thinking about the local girl cooking, so many dishes need to be put into the pot, and it will take more than an hour, so he went into the forest If you encounter a small wild animal, call it back so that Niu Laogen and Li Zheng can each take some home, and you can try something new at home. The pheasant chicken last time, the local girl likes to eat it very much, but the prey last time After giving it away, there was only one pheasant left. Zhong Gensheng naturally felt sorry for his daughter and wanted her to eat more.Who made Shen Sisi so thin.

When Niu Laogen and Lizheng arrived, they each had a jar of wine in their hands. They both smiled, greeted each other and entered the yard.

He Axiu hurriedly put down the work in hand, and said: "Come here, why did you bring wine, Gen Sheng already bought wine..."

"This is what it should be..." Li Zheng smiled, smelled the wonderful fragrance, and said, "Who is cooking, it smells so good?! Little flowers?!"

"Where is Xiaohua making shoes in the house? It's a local girl. Our family's food is made by a local girl..." He Axiu hurriedly brought a stool and said, "Sit down quickly, I'll pour tea..."

"Not busy..." Li Zheng was surprised, that little girl can still cook? !

"Where's Gensheng?!" Niu Laogen asked with a smile.

"He went up the mountain, and he couldn't stay idle. He said he wanted to try his luck. I didn't dare to let him go far, because I was afraid of encountering wild animals. Besides, it was getting dark..." He Axiu brought a teapot and gave it to them. Pouring tea, he said with a smile, "I've been away for a while, and it's time to come back..."

Just as he was talking, Zhong Gensheng came back with a happy face, a robe on his shoulder, and a pheasant and two rabbits in his hands.

All three of them were overjoyed, and said: "...Have you gained so much?!"

Zhong Gensheng put down the prey in his hand, put down the bow again, and said with a smile: "Today is lucky, I caught a robe..."

Shen Sisi ran out of the kitchen a long time ago, she said excitedly: "Father, let's raise this one first, it's fun..."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and touched the head of the robe. The robe was frightened and tried to move back, but was held down by Zhong Gensheng and failed to run.

Shen Sisi said excitedly: "Father, tie it up first, this one is fun to keep..."

"Okay..." Zhong Gensheng said with a chuckle: "Tu Niu, this pheasant will be roasted and eaten at night, and two rabbits, Lizheng and Lao Gen will take one home..."

"Okay..." Naturally, Shen Sisi can say whatever she wants, her current thoughts are all on the robe.Niu Laogen and Li Zheng thought she was still a child at heart.

He Axiu said: "I'm here to kill wild girls, Tu Niu, go to the kitchen and watch, don't burn it..."

"Well, I see..." Shen Sisi turned around and walked away, Zhong Gensheng smiled and tied up his robe and tied it under the eaves.

Niu Xiaohua also came out at this time, helping He Axiu kill the chicken, washed it by the well, and went into the kitchen.
