The pension plan of the ancient cannon fodder woman

Chapter 362 The Fourth New Year in Ancient Times 4

At this moment, Su He was very glad that his family had a holiday and could return to the village to celebrate the New Year.

Otherwise, you'll be stuck in the city and have nothing.

"Lotus, go back inside and don't stay outside for too long."

Wang Fugui was leading Wang Bin, Quan Bo and a group of people to clean up the thick snow on the ground. For the time being, the snow could only be piled in the backyard.

After a busy day, everyone managed to clean up their homes. The next day, they cleaned up the heavy snow on the road. The snow they cleared was piled up on the fields by the roadside.

On the third day, people in Tianyuan Village were able to visit each other again.

The snow removal activities over the past two days were a bit tiring, but the people in Tianyuan Village didn't have any worries. Miaomiao and her group of nerds were having a lot of fun playing in the snow.

But the people in Qingshan Village were not so happy. The first problem they faced was water shortage.

There are only two public wells in the whole village, and only seven or eight families have their own wells, which are used by hundreds of people. The heavy snow blocked the roads, and it is impossible to live without water. Everyone can only boil the snow to make water.

People in ancient times had no idea that water had to be boiled to be safe to drink, so they just drank it while it was still warm. In just the past two days, dozens of people in the village had diarrhea, and one person even fainted because the road was too slippery and he couldn't stand and fell into a pit.

Compared with the busy and harmonious atmosphere of Tianyuan Village, Qingshan Village is much more chaotic.

Old man Jin was the unlucky guy who fell into the pit. There was no well in his home.

Old man Jin was covered in gold and needed to be washed urgently. However, there was a shortage of water these two days, and it would take time to boil snow to melt water. After waiting for a while, Old man Jin lost his patience and simply rolled at the door. The gold on his body could not be cleaned with the snow at the door, so he rolled to other people's doorsteps, and he rolled farther and farther, damaging most of the roads in the village. Every household could smell the strong smell of shit.

Everyone was cursing, but Old Man Jin was much cleaner. He went back home to take a shower and went to bed in a filthy state. As a result, he started to have a high fever in the middle of the night.

There was no medicine at home and the road outside was blocked. Finally, I don’t know who led me to Tianyuan Village.

It was said before that because of the opening of the tea stall, the relationship between the people of Tianyuan Village and Qingshan Village has improved a lot. Now that someone came to ask for help, no one would refuse.

Wang Laowu was at the entrance of the village. He ran to call Doctor Mu and followed Doctor Mu to Old Man Jin's house.

By this time, Old Man Jin was already delirious due to the fever, and Doctor Mu didn't have many medicinal herbs at home, so he could only prescribe two packets of medicine for treating colds.

Then, for the villagers who had diarrhea, Doctor Mu prescribed three-day medicine packages for everyone. The price was not cheap, 100 wen per package, and wen for three days.

Only two families bought it, and the rest just drank salt water to top it off.

This experience will be unforgettable for Wang Laowu. The whole journey was filled with the stench of feces, in the air, on the ground, in the patients' homes, and especially in Old Man Jin's home. The stench was so unbearable that Doctor Mu almost fainted as soon as he entered the door.

When they came back from seeing the patient, they quickly changed their clothes, shoes and socks. If they were not afraid of catching a cold, they would have washed their hair.

"My family, I regret living at the entrance of the village. I can't take it anymore. I want to vomit."

Wang Laowu was unusually weak for two days and lay on the kang for several days to recover. The aftereffects were so strong that he always felt that he stunk all over.

Even the younger bachelors couldn't handle it, and Doctor Mu had to lie in bed for five or six days. The poison gas was too powerful.

No matter what, the New Year in Tianyuan Village started with a lively atmosphere.

The word "Fu", couplets, red lanterns, everything is available.

Every household no longer has to go to the city to buy meat. The bacon and lard at home can be eaten up in half a year.

This was not enough, so Wang Jingui organized people and killed three New Year pigs for everyone to share.

There are also fresh chicken, duck and rabbit.

Even the green vegetables that are rarely seen in winter are available to every household in Tianyuan Village.

Both the butcher Jin and the carpenter Li benefited from the geographical location.

The New Year pigs were slaughtered with the help of Jin the butcher. The three pigs weighed more than 600 kilograms.

Not only did he get to eat the pig-slaughtering meal, he also got 10 kilograms of pork, a handful of green vegetables, and two rabbits.

Butcher Jin's wife and mother-in-law looked at the table full of New Year gifts and happily discussed how to cook.

"I think we should just live with Tianyuan Village. It's hard to get green vegetables in winter. Last year during the Spring Festival, someone was selling bean sprouts at the market. Just a small bunch cost 300 coins. I hesitated for a moment, and the whole pot was sold out."

The two sons of the butcher Jin didn't care about the bean sprouts at all. They clamored for their mother to make ginger rabbits.

"I can't make this. It's just stew. You can eat it if you want."

Butcher Jin’s wife actually knows how to make it. One time, she went to a tea stall and saw Su Yuzhi making it. She felt sorry for the seasonings, no wonder it tasted so good.

"Let's stir-fry these vegetables tonight. I don't want to eat pickles anymore."

Butcher Jin's second son made another request, but unfortunately he was still rejected by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"I stewed half a chicken today and put two of them in it for you. You can't eat them all at once. How can you live like that? If you sell this bunch outside, it will cost you a tael of silver."

The second son argued with reason.

"But this was given to us by Uncle Jingui. It didn't cost any money."

"Eat it or not."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally had a falling out and picked up the food on the table and left.

"Dad, say something, you are the head of the family!"

Seeing that both his sons were looking at him, Butcher Jin sighed and waved to his two sons to come over.

The two boys hurried over and looked at their father expectantly.

"As the head of this family, I only care about you two. Your mother and your grandmother are women. I can't control them."

The three men stared at each other.

Su He here decided to spend New Year's Eve with Liu Bai and Liu Niang.

They were busy in the kitchen that afternoon.

Because Su He wanted the place to be more lively, Aunt He's whole family was also there. Miaomiao brought Jiaojiao, Tiantian and Xiaoxing to play together.

Su He, Liu Niang and Liu Ci Yanzhi made dumplings together.

Liu Bai was chatting with Boss He and a few others. Su He glanced at the three of them and was obviously shocked that Liu Bai would take the initiative to find someone to chat with.

"The lotus and the apricot blossoms seem to be getting married after the New Year."

Yanzhi's face revealed displeasure.

"Oh? Where are you going to marry?"

"She married a wealthy businessman in the city as his second wife. Aunt He said so. She knows a lot of people in the city, and someone told her specifically. Our Tianyuan Village is also famous now. They know that Xinghua is from Tianyuan Village, so they went to ask Aunt He specifically."

"What are you asking about? Xinghua's family background?"

Liu Ci was a little puzzled.

"They are asking about Lotus. That shameless Xinghua told everyone that she is your apprentice and that she is the only one who inherited your painting skills. Those people in the city know that the tea stall was the idea of ​​Lotus. They are all envious of our tea stall business and want to get in touch with Tianyuan Village through Xinghua and get a share of the pie."

Yanzhi was so angry that she cursed Xinghua eight hundred times every day.

Su He chuckled and was not in a hurry at all.

"They are all minor matters. Our tea stall is supported by Magistrate Ge. If they want to do something small and frame us, just tie them up and take them to the city to report to the authorities. If they want to threaten us and make us hand over the recipes of the tea stall food, just tie them up and report to the authorities."

Su He's calmness and confidence made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief.

Suho had thought about these things long before the tea stall opened.

The tea stall had made a very good profit in the past six months, with an average monthly profit of 3,000 taels. In the last month, the profit was as high as 4,000 taels.

They not only have many regular customers, but also many new customers.

The caravans passing by every day like to take a break at their tea stall before continuing, and the seats in the tea stall have long been insufficient.

Suho has already prepared for the Chinese New Year and will continue to expand the tea stall.

"Lotus, are we going to go to Xinghua's wedding?"

Yanzhi continued to ask.

"do you want to go?"

"No, I don't know her well."

"Well, if you don't want to go, then don't go. They didn't intend to invite us. Otherwise, how would you know this from other people?"

Yanzhi suddenly realized, yes, if he really wanted to invite you, he would have notified you a long time ago.

"Why didn't she invite us? We even gave her some of the money from Tianyuan Village. It was a waste."

Liu Ci was amused by Yanzhi.

"So do you want her to treat you or not?"

Yanzhi was speechless for a moment, then said something.

"I just don't want her to have an easy life. Humph."

"She is a thing of the past and will no longer appear in our lives, cousin. There is no need to waste time on her."

Yanzhi was very happy to hear this. Hehua was right. Her time was precious.
