Chapter 14 Days
Uncle Li and a few male neighbors quickly rebuilt Shuyao's warehousing and thatched house. To be safe, the cellar was still filled, and the newly built warehousing was also renovated from the original all-wooden house.
It is a brick and wood structure.
Because Aunt Mei was planning to sell tofu, the custard room was built much larger than the original one, simply divided into two rooms. The larger one inside was a tofu workshop, and the small room outside was equipped with a shelf to place debris.
When the work was completed, Aunt Mei prepared a pretty sumptuous meal. Shujie insisted on paying the wages to the neighbors who helped the workers. At first, everyone refused to accept it, but Aunt Mei said that now the Xia family still has some savings, and she also
If you know how to make tofu and tofu and milk, your life will not be that difficult. There are still many places to ask your neighbors for help in the future. If you refuse to collect the wages you pay, they will be embarrassed to speak to your neighbors in the future.
When you think about it, children taught by people like Xia Captain Xia will naturally be very energetic and unwilling to take advantage of others in vain. It is better to accept them for now. In the future, if the Xia family really needs them, they will help them. They don’t have to do it.
Is a tofu stall? It would be better to help with the business at that time.
Uncle Li fulfilled his promise and built a very beautiful chicken pantry with the remaining bricks next to the storage room, and the cover on the top could be lifted up.
When Zhang Shiwen heard that the chicken coop was covered, he quickly sent six chicks over, and two hens laying eggs. Shuwen and Xiutao were so happy that they kept walking around the chicken coop for most of the day. Shuyao was very good.
Listening to Qiutao carefully about the precautions for feeding chickens made Qiutao feel very accomplished. She was responsible for raising the chickens in their family, which was also considered "experienced".
On this day, Shuyao brought Shuwen and Xiutao to pick up vegetables and there was an additional guest at home. Wu's mother from the Zhang family in Luchengjiao County (Xia Ruoyun's husband's house). Xia Ruoyun just learned that his sister-in-law Zhen Zirou had passed away.
However, the last time she came to Yulin Town to send Xia Linxuan to funeral, she was found pregnant. It took nearly three hours to make a carriage from Lucheng to Yulin County. Mr. Zhang was worried and sent Xia Ruoyun's personal mother to take a trip on behalf of Xia Ruoyun.
Wu's mother brought vegetables, fruits, some dry goods produced on the Zhang family's own farm, as well as several pigments of plain fabrics and fabricated wild fur.
Before leaving, Wu's mother took out five silver notes of 100 taels and handed them to Shujie: "Young Master, our wife is pregnant now and cannot come to see you. She said that if you have difficulties, please give me some
Let me know, or go directly to find her. With her here, you three brothers will not be hungry.
Shujie did not receive the silver note: "Please tell my aunt that we are very good. If you need it in the future, you will definitely go to ask for help. When my aunt is about to give birth, I will take my younger brother and sister to visit my aunt and cousin.
”
Shu Yao took out a ginseng from the mahogany box: "Mom Wu, this is what my mother prepared for my aunt. Last time, after my aunt left, my mother said that my aunt might have a younger brother, so she asked someone to find this. By the way, Wu
Mom, I dreamed of my mother last night, and my mother said you would come today and asked me to tell you that my aunt would eat less, eat better, and walk more every day. Mom Wu, why did my mother say that my aunt eats too much
The little brother won't come out?"
Wu's mother was shocked. A while ago, she heard that there was a noble lady in Lucheng who had always had a good baby. As a result, she was difficult to give birth during childbirth, and both mother and son died. Wen's wife said that the fetus was too big and could not be released. This uncle was dreaming.
I asked my cousin to remind her wife. Look at the ginseng that the cousin took out, it should be more than a hundred years old, right? It is said that my uncle treats his wife like a girl, but it is indeed true that her sister is not so generous.
Holding Shu Yao's little hand, Wu's mother smiled and said, "Cousin, you are too young. When you grow up, your mother will tell you. Mom will definitely pass on the words of uncle and wife to your wife without missing a word."
Wu's mother went to give Xia Linxuan and Zhen Zirou another incense stick, and then she hid the ginseng and went back.
Shu Yao knew that this mother Wu was the most loyal to Xia Ruoyun. The words just now would definitely convey to Xia Ruoyun and keep them in her heart. I hope Xia Ruoyun can escape that disaster in this life.
After the first seventh, Aunt Li and Ajuan and his wife helped Aunt Mei to organize several tables of meals and invited all the neighbors on Xitang Street. The Xia family's yard could not be placed, and it was still in the small yard of Uncle Li and Ajuan's saint.
There is a large table in each place.
Starting the second day, the Xia family's tofu stall finally opened, and the business was surprisingly good. At first, the neighbors took good care of it, but after visiting it, they praised it all. After that, they really came from their own desires.
, Ten travels a hundred times, and later the customers who came late had to return disappointed and repeatedly told them to leave some for themselves tomorrow. Some customers even paid ten days in advance, and agreed to come and collect it every day.
The tofu made by Aunt Mei is as white as jade, smooth and fragrant; the tofu brain is fresh and tender, with endless aftertaste; the soy milk is even more silky and has a rich bean fragrance. Yulin Town and even a few wealthy families in Yulin County have arrived directly
The Xia family paid a deposit for the whole month to ensure that the ladies, concubines and young ladies in the mansion had delicious breakfast.
What is even more shocking is that more than a month later, the Xu family, a wealthy family in the county, discovered that the third lady's natural dark yellow skin began to turn significantly whiter and tenderer. Miss Xu San loved the soy milk of the Xia family and
Tofu Brain, I have to eat a bowl of tofu Brain and drink a few cups of soy milk every day. This discovery made Mrs. Xu happy. Not only did she double the amount, she also sent a lot of high-quality cloth, snacks, etc. as a thank you.
The master of the Xu family is an official in Beijing and serves as the third-rank Zhongshuling. The eight-year-old third lady Xu Nian'er is the only legitimate daughter of Lord Xu. At that time, Lord Xu and his wife returned home from their place of office to worship their ancestors. They met bandits on the way and were pregnant with six families.
Mrs. Xu blocked the knife for her husband and exerted her fetal anger, and she fought to the death and died after her daughter who was less than a term.
Lord Xu named his daughter Nian'er, in order to commemorate his deceased wife. I don't know if it was because of premature birth, Nian'er, who had beautiful facial features, was born thin and dark yellow and rough. Compared with a few concubines, she became an ugly duck.
.
However, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu still regard Nian'er as the pearl in their palms and love them very much. Mrs. Xu even refused to re-string for Nian'er. Because Xiao Nian'er did not want to stay in the capital and was laughed at, Mrs. Xu took Nian'er back to Yulin County.
I want to wait until Nian'er is well recuperated before returning to the capital.
Unexpectedly, using so many secret recipes was useless, but after eating Xia’s soy milk and tofu brain, it started to improve after more than a month of eating Xia’s soy milk and tofu brain. Isn’t Mrs. Xu ecstatic?
Aunt Mei really didn't expect that she learned tofu from her grandmother when she was a child. She had made it before, but she never thought that she could make such a good taste and effect now. She was stunned when she tasted it on the first day.
I lived there, but I couldn't figure out the reason after thinking about it. It can only be attributed to the blessing of the wife in heaven.
Only Shu Yao and Shu Jie know that this is all thanks to the magical mahogany box. The soybeans and water used to make soy milk are all enhanced in the mahogany box. How could it not be delicious?
Because the business is very good, Shujie is worried that Aunt Mei is working too hard alone, so he asked Ajuan's wife and Sun's wife for help. Both of them are very happy and grateful. Sun's wife was idle at home and wanted to find something to do.
To subsidize household income, Ajuan’s wife sets up street stalls every day. Because she doesn’t have enough capital, she just needs some small things like needles and threads, and she works hard and can’t make much money.
Now the two of them are helping at Xia's house, and they are close to home, so they can go back to cook and do some housework for the house. The business of the tofu stall is good, and the wages given by Shujie are also good, which is so beautiful.
Every morning, Shujie and Chunsheng also helped to transport the things to the stall using a cart. At first, Aunt Mei refused to let Shujie do work, but Shujie was very persistent. He said that he was not a young master, so his family's business was naturally
He had to work hard, and he didn't want to become a nerd with four bodies. He also said that this was what his mother, Donnie Yen, said that he had to combine work and rest.
Shujie's daily schedule is very regular. When to practice martial arts, when to study, and when to help the tofu business, they are arranged in an orderly manner. Aunt Mei no longer objected to what Zhen Zirou often said before.
Shu Yao’s task is to bring Shuwen and Xiutao, and the three children read and feed chickens and help pick soybeans every day, and they are also very busy.
Shu Yao and Shu Wen also started practicing calligraphy under Shu Jie's guidance, memorizing the Three Character Classics, and copying three big characters every morning and evening. Shu Jie's plan is to enlighten his younger brother and sister first, and when they have a foundation next year, they will have it at home.
The income on the surface was better, so I sent Shuwen to the county school, and then invited a female gentleman and a teaching mother to come back to teach Shu Yao.
In his previous life, Shuyao only learned some words from Zhen Zirou when she was at home. She went to Zhen Mansion and Murong Shangshu Mansion. No one asked her to study and hired her master. Therefore, in her previous life, she did not know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she was still in
During the three years of refuge in the countryside, I accidentally saved an old woman. I was found to have the talent for embroidery. I learned the magical skills of embroidery from her and I had a skill.
It was also thanks to her exquisite embroidery skills that she did embroidery work day and night for her husband Xue Minglang to be the second-class senior in high school, and also used unparalleled streaming embroidery for him. Unexpectedly, this ungrateful wolf...
In this life, she has not gone to Quancheng (Aunt Mei’s husband’s hometown), so she shouldn’t meet Xue Minglang again, right? I don’t know if the poor scholar who is a barely slut in high school can still be the second place in high school?
The life of the Xia family is simple and warm, but what Shu Yao and the others don’t know is that people who hate and troubles will soon follow.
