After farming, I opened a family tree

At this time, Shen Tang didn't know that Liu had bought ten acres of land for him.

She didn't even know that she had become the most envied person among all the girls in the village.

Of course, there were also some who cursed Liu.

She felt that if Liu bought so many things for her daughter, it would only benefit her husband's family in the future.

Those who have sons are already looking for new tracks, and those who don’t have sons but have nephews and nieces are also thinking about it.

Soap now costs half a tael of silver per piece, so it must be in short supply. I have to hurry up and make it myself.

But she only had a pair of hands, and even with the help of Shen Dashan and Liu, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Still need to recruit people!

That night, Shen Tang shared this idea with Shen Dashan and Liu.

Ever since Liu saw her daughter's abilities, she almost treated Shen Tang's words as an imperial decree.

Shen Dashan was originally worried about the money, but when Liu told him that he had made dozens of taels of money from soap, that feeling of regret disappeared.

It's just five cents per pound!

Hiring, hiring now.

The next day, Liu went to Aunt Guihua's house first.

Aunt Guihua is one of the most aggressive women in the village, but she also has a miserable life.

Her husband died on the battlefield after joining the army ten years ago, leaving behind a pair of twin daughters who were less than one year old.

According to Liu, Aunt Guihua used to be a gentle and virtuous person, but her husband died in battle, and since the whole family consisted of women, she gradually became notorious for her viciousness.

"Hui Niang, I told you that you were blessed, but you didn't believe me. Now let me prove it for sure."

Liu's maiden name was Hui, and Aunt Guihua affectionately called her Liu.

"My daughter is so successful, how can I forget you?"

Aunt Guihua looked at Liu with tears in her eyes.

Over the years, others only knew that she was a domineering person, but how could she protect two children if she was not domineering?

So when Aunt Guihua and her two twin daughters came carrying three full baskets of yellow fruits, Shen Tang was also surprised.

But there was a backpack on the ground, which was unusually large.

"Your sister Ali has always been much stronger than others since she was a child."

Liu looked at her daughter and explained.

Behind him was a girl who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, with her head lowered, looking very shy.

"Bravo!"

Hearing this, the other person's ears turned red instantly.

It was the first time Shen Li heard someone bragging about how great he was because of his strength.

Every time others saw my extraordinary strength, they would avoid me and say that I didn't look like a woman at all.

Some even said that they were so powerful that they might not be able to find a husband in the future.

In an instant, Shen Li developed a liking for Shen Tang.

Sister Shen Tang is still as lovable as she was when she was a child.

"Sister Tang, my mother said she would come to help your family with chores and give us food, right? What are we having for lunch?"

The girl next to her who looked exactly like Shen Li spoke, and she looked particularly lively.

Although they are twins, they are easy to tell apart. The elder sister Shen Li is taller and stronger.

Sister Shen Dan's face is rounder than Shen Li's.

"I wonder what Sister Dan likes to eat!"

Shen Tang also has a good impression of the two sisters.

Just as Shen Dan was about to say something else, Aunt Guihua hit her.

"I haven't done anything, I'm just thinking about eating."

Then he pulled Liu and asked if there was any other work she could do.

Mrs. Liu didn't know either. Her daughter had mentioned picking yellow fruits last night.

"Auntie, please help me..."

Soapberry, tea dregs, wood ash, chrysanthemum...

Shen Tang took Liu to the butcher to buy meat.

"Uncle Fugui, from now on, please send all the lard to my house."

Shen Tang opened his mouth and ordered a few more ribs and a basket of pork belly.

This is a big deal. Shen Fugui smiled and sent the mother and daughter out, saying that he would personally send them home later.

The two men came out of the butcher's house and accidentally ran into Wang who was walking over.

"Hey, sister-in-law, are you buying meat? Why did you go back empty-handed?"

"It's better not to spend this money lavishly. Ten acres of land can't be used to make a living."

As he spoke, he glanced at Liu.

"No need to talk about it. Mom insisted on giving me money today, saying that she wanted to buy some meat."

Then he went into the butcher's house.

"Virtue."

Liu sneered.

"Your grandma wouldn't be so generous."

This is indeed the case, but Mrs. Shen was very angry yesterday and felt that she was outdone by the eldest brother's family.

I just gave Wang ten cents today to buy meat.

"Tangtang, do you think we should keep our soap away from people?"

Liu was worried all night, holding a hen that laid golden eggs in her arms, afraid that someone would steal it.

"Mother, there's no way around it."

Shen Tang was telling the truth. There is no wall that is completely airtight in the world.

No matter how good the confidentiality efforts are, there is always a risk of leakage. Besides, making soap is actually not difficult at all as long as you have the ingredients.

All she has to do is to reap the benefits before others make soap.

Moreover, in this era, making soap costs money, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

After all, lard is used, which is a precious thing. People are reluctant to eat it, let alone use it to make things.

When Shen Tang returned to the yard, Aunt Guihua and the other two had not returned yet.

"Mom, from now on, our family will eat refined grains and white flour. Whatever we eat, the workers will eat."

hiss--

Liu looked reluctant, as one pound of fine grains could be exchanged for three pounds of coarse grains!

Although she was reluctant, Liu still steamed a large pot of white rice.

Shen Dashan brought a few craftsmen and were hammering in the backyard.

The taste of this white rice is much better than that of whole grains, and several people felt very hungry all of a sudden.

"Oh, it smells so good!"

Before Shen Dan even walked into the yard, she smelled the fragrance of white rice.

She must have smelled it right. After the autumn harvest a few months ago, her mother steamed a pot of white rice. She didn't forget!

She wants to pick yellow fruits for Sister Shen Tang for the rest of her life!

What surprised Shen Tang was that Shen Li and Shen Dan had picked a few camellias and early plums.

"Sister, we thought these flowers were nice, so we brought them back. We thought you wanted chrysanthemums, and since they're also flowers, we picked a few for you."

Shen Dan moved closer to Shen Tang and spoke with her head tilted.

"That's great! The two sisters are so capable and smart! I really envy Aunt Guihua!"

The twin sisters and Aunt Guihua all smiled.

From now on, learn how to praise others from Xiang Niangzi!

"Auntie, if you have any leftover spinach at home, you can bring it over. It's also five cents a pound."

She wants to improve her soap!

"If you want some spinach, I'll pick some for you later! It's not about money, it's too formal."

"I'm afraid you don't know, but you were raised by your aunt and your two sisters."

Aunt Guihua was not lying.

At that time, Aunt Guihua was good friends with Aunt Liu, and Shen Tang was three years younger than her two daughters. When Shen Tang was two years old and could walk, he followed behind her two daughters.

Unfortunately, he fell ill later. Liu was already sad and afraid that something might happen to him, so she kept him at home.

This matter is not a secret in the village, but no one mentions it.

Now that Aunt Guihua had brought it up, Shen Tang felt rather embarrassed.

It’s like your employee tells you, you don’t know, I held you in my arms when you were little?

On the other hand, the eyes of the two sisters standing on the side brightened considerably.
