Shelter in the pastoral

These craftsmen came, and the county arranged warm meals for them. What they ate were the workers' favorite coarse grain buns and egg soup.Those cooks are really good, even the most common food can make them very delicious. Sometimes old man Liu and Fang Shujing will keep some in the small kitchen, and occasionally eating a few meals of this kind of miscellaneous grains is also very sweet of.

Wowotou and vegetable dumplings are very popular in the county. If it weren't for the work of the county magistrate, they wouldn't be able to eat them. These craftsmen from other places, who live in the open air, have never eaten any good food. hi.Thanks to the experience of the small kitchen, they are all baskets and baskets.

Although it is coarse grains, it tastes like a unique fragrance of pure grains, and a little other grains are mixed in the middle, which slightly improves the taste of coarse grains on the throat.Then take a sip of egg soup, and I feel indescribably comfortable all over.

After eating, go to the master to register, who is in the same family with whom, who is the apprentice, and who is the master.

Those who register are all students who have left the deblinding class.They have done a lot of work for the county and are already familiar with it.Although there were [-] people who came, more than a dozen of them started recording at the same time, and it would be all over in less than half an hour, and someone specially assigned to take them to the artisan village.

They are the servants of the criminal ministers, and they thought they came here to do hard work, but they didn't expect to give them a house.And they are all newly built houses.There are less than ten households living here in the craftsman village, and those who can settle here are all people with crafts.At first, I wondered how to build so many houses, but now I see these dark people brought by the Yamen, I understand.

According to the skills they know, start to divide the house. The master's room will be bigger and the yard will be more spacious. For the apprentice, there is only a house without a yard!

"Is this really for us to live in?"

"Great." After walking on the road for nearly two months and sleeping in the grassland and ruined temple mountain forest, it can be regarded as a shelter from the wind and rain.

These people happen to fill up the artisan village.

Before the servants left, they said: "The village head has been elected before you come here. You have to listen to the village head's control on weekdays. If you have any difficulties, you can also ask the master to solve them!"

Everyone looked at each other, and saw a middle-aged enthusiastic man said: "My surname is Bai, you can call me Village Chief Bai from now on." I followed my brothers and sisters to go here and there to make a living, but I didn't leave after I came here.Relying on his blacksmithing skills, he directly moved into the Artisan Village.He was also appointed as the village head. He didn't take it seriously at first, but now he finds that he is being asked to manage so many people. He is nervous and excited at the same time. His simple and honest face is a little red, but his skin is dark. !

These craftsmen from outside have something to ask, but they dare not say it. You look at each other, and I look at yours.

Village head Bai said: "Everyone has anything to ask." Since he became the village head, he has been going to the city all day to learn about the situation, and he knows the county's policies like the back of his hand.

A small voice among them said, "Who cares about the food?"

The voice came from the crowd, but when I looked over, I didn't know who the person who spoke just now was.

There is a place where they live now.But you have to solve the meal yourself.

Village Chief Bai said: "Food, clothes and money are all exchanged by centimeters, so I can lend you them first. You pay them back slowly, and when your centimeters are high, you can exchange them for things. Tasks will be issued at the entrance of the village every day. After you finish handing it in, I can record centimeters for you. Exchange it once a month, let’s go, I’ll take you to see what’s in the centimeter exchange warehouse.”

He took it directly into the warehouse in the village, and there are two little gentlemen here who will be stationed in the village in the future.Record centimeters and exchange things must be done here!

The house is like a store in the county, with furnishings on both sides. There are not only various clothes, rice noodles, household dishes, pots, furniture, tools, copper coins, and four boxes of gifts.All kinds of things are available here.Everyone's eyes are straight.

Village head Bai was enjoying their fuss, and completely forgot that he had the same reaction as them when he saw it for the first time.

At present, they are the only ones in the nearby villages who use the centimeter system.Of course, you can also exchange money, but there are many things that cannot be bought here, such as special tools for craftsmen, many of which are specially made by people from the provincial capital. Customized.There is also a queue to buy, such as a cheap grain shop.There are now more varieties of food over there, unlike when we first came here there were only two types of food.People like them live on the edge of the county, and their time is wasted on the road every time they go back and forth, so it's better to buy them all together.

In their eyes, this centimeter-exchange room is like a treasure house.

Village head Bai said that the recent task in the county is to make some farming tools. If you are diligent, you can save more than 100 centimeters a month.Other craftsmen can also assist in making other things, and there will be corresponding centimeters exchanged, and craftsmen are also encouraged to make innovations. If they are made, the village will evaluate centimeters.If you are willing to contribute the drawings, you can get at least two hundred centimeters at a time.

Craftsmen like these officials, who have not yet tapped the bottom of the box, it depends on whether they are willing to show it.

"This set of blacksmithing tools is not bad. It's only [-] centimeters. I want it." All these tools need to be customized, and there are only a dozen sets in the village.There are not many in stock.The old master who said this was a blacksmith, and blacksmiths don't like to be with others, and they never use shared tools.

After he finished talking about Mr. Xiao, he registered it.The disciples and grandchildren around him stopped him: "Master, it's [-] centimeters, and we will owe famine until the Chinese New Year!"

"You guys know nothing." The old blacksmith was very persistent in this kind of thing.

The rest of the group also clicked their tongues at his audacity.But the average person trades a little bit of food, something necessary for furniture, and the [-] centimeters are gone.Although it doesn't feel good to owe centimeters here without money, I hope to be debt-free as soon as possible.

You can also exchange centimeters for wasteland here, but most of the people here are craftsmen, with craftsmanship, and they can’t finish their own work. Farming is a completely new field for them, let alone opening up wasteland. People said they wanted fields.

I found that whether it is the village head, the county yamen servant or the little gentleman who keeps writing, they are all kind.Some young people regained their liveliness and said, "Why do you still have four boxes of gifts? You can redeem your daughter-in-law if you have accumulated enough points?" The craftsmen who came were all men.They make some secret things for officials on weekdays, and they are guarded on weekdays, and they are not allowed to touch the outside at all, let alone think about starting a family.

Those old masters before are Buddhas, but there are still many strong young men.

The yamen servants said: "That depends on your ability. If there is a woman who is willing to marry, you can exchange four boxes of gifts to marry her in." Here even the apprentices have their own separate houses, but the area is smaller. That's all.Many people in the countryside do not have this condition yet.

As long as there is a house, you can get married and have children.

He also told about the county's policies, such as a reward of one tael of silver for the birth of three children, which made their hearts very enthusiastic.

But the yamen servants also poured cold water: "But you are not allowed to do anything outrageous. You are not allowed to harass the girls in the surrounding villages. If there is any conspiracy or forcible molestation, our county government will definitely punish you severely."

"That can't..." Everyone hastily expressed their determination.Then began to exchange things.Although the centimeter of the tool is more expensive, it is still worth it.Those who are a little hesitant will be too late when they want to exchange again.

The county pays close attention to the surrounding farming, and cannot rely on transportation for food as it is now.But in a village, one farm tool is often used by the whole village. The farming season is only a few days, and if you miss it, you have to wait for a year.So the biggest task for them is to produce farm tools and so on.

They changed their clothes, cleaned the house where no one lived in it from inside to outside, burned a kang and lay down on it, and fell asleep happily.I was full before.Now that there is a place to stay, many people start to sleep as soon as the tension in their hearts is loosened and the room is warm again.

But there are also hard-working people who don't rest anymore.Pick up the iron block and start clanging the iron.Needless to say, I didn't feel disgusted at all when I heard this voice, on the contrary, I fell asleep more soundly.

It started to snow again outside.

There are all kinds of craftsmen.There was a pair of brothers who were worried there.Others are blacksmiths and carpenters, so they can be reused when they come here.But they are jewelers who make jewelry for ladies, so it is useless to come here.

"I think Changhai and the others have all gone to learn carpentry from their masters." They have their own crafts, and it is easy for them to change their careers in the same industry. Do they want to learn that too?

His brother said: "Don't learn..."

The younger brother sighed.Jewelry like them needs to be finished with precision. Once the hands of carpentry are roughened, the craftsmanship is considered useless.

Yes, they eat with their hands.The fingers are very clean and delicate after stretching, and they must protect these hands all year round.

"Then what should we do?" Seeing the snow falling outside, they exchanged quilts, pots and pans, and the brothers owed two hundred centimeters.There is no entry now!

Even coal and firewood can be exchanged here.But this centimeter owes more and more, what can I do?

His brother said: "I also make jewelry."

His younger brother was the first to object: "This is a small county town. Make it and sell it to someone. Let's talk about the raw materials." The raw materials they use are gold, gold leaf, gold thread, gems and agate, whatever is precious.Make bricks without straw.

His brother said: "I'll go out and ask Mr. Xiao." He still didn't give up, the kang was burning, the room was very warm, my brother was greedy for this warmth and didn't want to go.His brother went, and after a while her brother came back and brought him good news.The county government said, let them do something.They will give them additional centimeters for raw materials.

The two brothers were very happy to hear the news, and they could finally make use of what they had learned for many years.

Immediately went to the workshop again to exchange tools such as braziers and rubbing strips.Just wait for the material to come back and start working.

……

It was snowing in the county today, and Fang Shujing returned home early.As soon as I entered the hospital, I smelled a fragrance.Xu Quan is stewing meat. After several hours of stewing in a casserole, the meat will melt with just a sip in his mouth. It is even better to cook rice with soup. Recently, Xu Quan's cooking skills are getting better day by day.He didn't go to the kitchen either, and went straight back to the house.As soon as I entered, I felt a warmth coming from the room.There are small hawthorns in the house, and the house will be very warm.

Seeing Fang Shujing, the other big girls in the room said with a smile on their faces, "My lord."

Fang Shujing said: "Yes."

They were all used to it, and they quietly retreated every time the adults came. Fang Shujing was not used to having servants around to serve her.

As soon as the girls left, there were only three of them in the house.

Fang Shujing came over and said, "What are you doing, so happy."

Liu Yechen couldn't help thinking about it, and said happily to the child: "Little Hawthorn is so fun."

Fang Shujing saw that there was a bowl of green fruit and vegetable puree on the table. At first, Fang Shujing found that Zai Zai didn't like rice porridge very much.After telling the master, old man Liu asked him to make some fruit and vegetable puree for the children, and it was the first time to cook it today.

Liu Yechen also demonstrated it to her husband, took a small spoonful of green vegetable puree, and fed it to the cub.

It was the first time for Little Hawthorn to eat something else in four months. After eating it, his eyes suddenly opened round, and he looked a little surprised. After drinking it, he couldn't be happier.A little look like seeing vegetable puree: "Wow."

Fang Shujing couldn't help laughing, this little brat is really everyone's joy.The expression was very vivid on his face.

Fang Shujing held the child in his arms, bit a spoonful of vegetable puree, the little guy opened his mouth and wanted to eat, Fang Shujing said: "Give it to daddy, okay?"

Little Hawthorn had a troubled expression on his face, and all the thoughts of the little boy appeared on his face.Although he was reluctant, he still said: "Ah." He said that he gave it, but he was a little bit reluctant.

Fang Shujing looked at it and said with a smirk: "Then give it to your father Xiaoliu, okay?"

After speaking, he pointed to Liu Yechen in front of the child.

"Ah." Little Hawthorn agreed very happily this time, completely different from just now.Fang Shujing quickly put down the small spoon of fruit and vegetable puree, looked at the little boy and said, "So you like Daddy Xiaoliu the most, and I used to love you for nothing."

Little Hawthorn pretended to be stupid, took a peek at Fang Shujing, and then threw herself into his arms with a milky voice, looking a little flattering.

Fang Shujing stopped his son from acting like a baby, and said, "I don't like you."

Little Shanzha glanced at Liu Yechen, then at Fang Shujing, her mouth curled up, tears welled up in her eyes, and she burst into tears.

Fang Shujing was immediately embarrassed, hugged the child and coaxed her, and said, "Father is just kidding with you. Daddy likes little hawthorn the most."

The little boy's tears came and went quickly, and he stopped crying after a while, but the liveliness just now was gone, and he was listless.

Although Liu Yechen didn't blame him, Fang Shujing secretly hated that she owed her children, why did she recruit children so well.This little ancestor got angry, and he didn't have a good life.

Then he fed the little boy pureed vegetables, but the little guy refused to eat, and even called out to him, meaning to let him eat.

Little Hawthorn didn't forget to coax him at this time.Fang Shujing's heart softened all of a sudden, and it turned out that she felt this way after having a child.

Gentlely said: "Let's eat the little hawthorn, Daddy won't eat it." Then he fed the little hawthorn, the little hawthorn ate quite happily, and Liu Yechen came over to wipe the corners of his mouth after eating.But the little boy kept staring at Fang Shujing, as if he was still judging whether he was alive or not.

Fang Shujing didn't hold back either, and gently scratched his chin with his fingers.He said to Liu Yechen: "Does it mean that all parents think their children are the cutest?" He is really rare enough!

Liu Yechen said: "Maybe." He also likes children, their children's eyes are big and round, as long as the baby looks at it and wants to shelter him from the wind and rain for a lifetime, his heart will melt.

Fang Shujing played with the child for a while, the child was fun but the little one got tired after playing for a while.Lying in his arms, he fell asleep in no time.

There was a soft knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Fang Shujing said inside.

It was Xu Quan who came in, Liu Yechen was going to take care of things in the pharmacy, Fang Shujing also had things to do in the county, so the family and the outside depended entirely on him.

Xu Quan came to bring the casserole stew and rice this time, they can eat in the house.

The little hawthorn in his arms twitched his nose slightly when he smelled the smell of meat, but he was too deep in sleep and didn't wake up.

Fang Shujing put the little hawthorn on the big bed and covered it with another layer of quilt, the little guy fell asleep obediently.A bit like Liu Yechen, he used to wonder if Liu Yechen was so cute when he was young.

Fang Shujing said: "You have worked hard on the things at home, let's increase the allowance for the few people in our family." A rising tide lifts all boats.

Xu Quan hummed.

Fang Shujing said: "Liu Er and I rarely spend time at home, you are their older brother and sister. These people are also of age, if there is a suitable one to marry, you can arrange it." You can't be at his house After working, I wasted my time.

Xu Quan said: "Succeed, I will tell them about this." Then he said what changes were made at home when Xia Shujing was away.Fang Shujing has completely delegated power, and Xu Quan has also made great progress.When I heard him say so many treasures, I knew that he must be interested.

After Xu Quan finished speaking, he suddenly said: "I almost forgot, there is one more important thing, a letter from my hometown." He came here to deliver meals and letters.In the end, talking to Fang Shujing completely forgot about it.

Fang Shujing quickly opened the letter.With a bit of joy on his face, he said: "Father and mother are coming."

"Ah?" Xu Quan was also a little surprised.

Fang Shujing said: "The two of them want to come and celebrate the New Year with us. Brother and sister-in-law's children are too young to come here."

This is the first time for them to celebrate the New Year here, and it is a great comfort to have people from their hometown come to accompany them.

Fang Shujing immediately wrote a reply letter.Let them come early and stay longer.

After writing the letter, it will be faster to go back to the county and start from the post station than usual.

Liu Yechen said: "I'll clean up the house from tomorrow." When his in-laws are coming, every room has to be cleaned up brightly.

Fang Shujing went out to post a letter, it was snowing lightly outside, and all the people who set up stalls on the street had gone home.The county is not as lively as it used to be.He is going to the Yamen.On the road, I happened to see a man who looked like a scholar, carrying a bookcase, looking around, the sky had already started to snow, but his clothes were very thin, and his hands were red from the cold.

The scholar stopped Fang Shujing and said, "Brother, how can I get to the private school in the county?" He still spoke with a foreign accent, so it's no wonder he didn't know Fang Shujing's identity.

Fang Shujing said: "Follow this road until you reach the end and you will see it, but it's snowing and classes are suspended, what are you doing there?"

The scholar's cheeks turned red: "I... I heard people say that studying here doesn't cost money." He came over.

Fang Shujing saw that he was terribly cold, and there was only one restaurant open around him.Said: "Go in and warm up first." Then he greeted the owner of the restaurant.

The county magistrate speaks, and there is no one who refuses.

There are several braziers in the house, and it is indeed hotter than outside.When Fang Shujing returned from sending the letter, he saw that the foreign scholar was still looking forward to it in the room.

Left and right Fang Shujing has nothing to do after sending the letter, so go over and ask.

It turned out that this scholar came from a poor family, with only a widowed mother in his family. The widowed mother also passed away a few days ago, so he sold the house and buried his mother generously. He came out without any worries.But after coming out, I was dumbfounded and didn't know where to go.He heard from other counties that they don't need money to study.He thought to himself that he still had some talent in reading anyway, otherwise he would continue to study, he was a dull scholar after a while, and he was coaxed and deceived by others outside, and the little money left on him would have been spent long ago.Now he is penniless, and fortunately he met Fang Shujing, otherwise he would not know what to do.

It was the first time Fang Shujing saw such a simple-minded person, so he took a few quizzes on him. He had already obtained the reputation of Tongsheng, and his foundation was not bad.

Fang Shujing said: "Then you go to live in the school first, there are also imperial examination classes over there. Let the teacher of the private school arrange it tomorrow."

The foreign scholar bowed again and again: "Thank you..." This is meeting a good person.

After Fang Shujing left, he asked the staff of the restaurant to send him over.

Scholars from other places repeatedly praised their enthusiasm.

The clerk at the restaurant said: "You are lucky, you have met our county magistrate."

"Ah?" The out-of-town scholar was taken aback. The person who spoke so well just now was actually their magistrate.

When the man heard this, he quickly told him about the changes after the county magistrate came and his great achievements in governing the county. The scholars from other places were in awe, and read as such...

It snowed in the county for three consecutive days, and it finally cleared up on the fourth day.They have been working for more than half a year, and they are looking forward to taking a break. When they really can take a break, they feel that they don't know where to use all their strength, so they want to do some work again.

Finally the sun cleared and everyone started working.Only then did I feel comfortable.

A group of cloth merchants came from the county, and the cloth on their side was soft and comfortable.Because it is the place of origin and the price is cheap.In the past, there were always cloth merchants!

But this time, they were shocked when they came.Is this still the dilapidated county town from before?All the roads here have been repaved, and the roads are clean and wide.

They found a restaurant at random, and took the opportunity to ask why the county had changed so much.

The people in the restaurant talked endlessly about the magistrate.After the county magistrate came up, the benefits of the people in the county cannot be counted with ten fingers.

This time they are here to post.

The people in the restaurant told them: "Everyone has a lot of homemade cloth, and the good ones are all given to the magistrate."

Their homespun cloth is also very good, and it costs ten cents a piece of plain flowers. If you go out to dye it, the price will be three or four times higher.There is also a weaving factory here, and there will be some high-quality goods at a good price.

But those who can come here to collect cloth are small businesses.They don't ask for any quality, as long as they are cheap.

The price offered here is not bad, and every household will come to deliver cloth when they hear the news.Originally, it would take at least five days to collect it, but now it is done very quickly here.Two days is enough.If it is done quickly here, you can go back earlier and sell it for money earlier.Still have a good year.

Thinking about it, I saw a lot of people going to one place, as if they were joining in some fun.

These foreign businessmen were already very curious about the changes here. Seeing everyone's strange behavior, they wanted to go over and inquire.

The owner of the restaurant said: "Oh, you said that. It's just a dine-in restaurant opened in the county government office."

At the beginning, the road construction team, deblinding class and various people who worked for the county all described how delicious their corn bread and vegetable dumplings were.You can only eat by yourself over there, and you can't take it out. People outside have heard that they are too greedy.Always go to the gate of the Yamen to give opinions.Just say whether it can be sold.

The county is really too busy, but people are greedy to talk about it every day.So I set a date to sell them, and the price is not expensive. Wowotou costs a penny, vegetable dumplings cost two pennies, and meat buns cost three pennies.Egg drop soup costs a penny a bowl.

It must be more affordable to make it at home by yourself, but everyone is greedy for their dine-in food for a day or two.So it is more expensive and willing to buy.Fearing that there would be insufficient manpower, the county recruited some women from the county who loved to do clean and quick work to help make noodles, chop stuffing and make dumplings.There must be a lot of sales on the first day today. The three large pots in the cafeteria have been steaming since dawn.

The county specially designated a larger area for them, which is also outside, but a small shed will be erected.Not afraid of rain and snow.You can eat it here, or you can take it home to eat, but now it is winter, most people choose to take it home to eat.

The common people in the county have experience and haven't started trading yet.There is a long queue ahead!

The cage of the boss in the county has been clamped.They are stacked up one layer at a time, and there are many baskets containing grain around them. They are all covered with white cloth and covered with a layer of white cloth, which is very clean.

The first few sellers are all first-class beauties, with red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes, even wearing ordinary clothes, they can't hide their elegance at all.

These people are the maids that the merchant bought for Fang Shujing's house.After being dealt with by him, these women had no place to go, so they could only fall into a place of low status, crying very pitifully, Fang Shujing asked the master to arrange it.The master allowed them to get married, but they didn't know if they were disappointed in the man or what, but they didn't want to.So I arranged to work here to make money.A few more people were sent to watch them, and seeing that although they were clumsy in their work, they worked hard and did not steal or play tricks, so they let them go.

These people are all carefully selected lean horses, big and small.Every frown and smile are paintings. The people in these counties have never seen such a beauty before, and they are all stunned.

"How many buns do you want?" the beauty asked him.

"Here are three steamed buns and two meat buns." The person in front blushed when speaking, and his voice became more refined, for fear of frightening the beauty.

But I didn't expect the beauty's skill to be quite nimble, and she finished it very quickly.After collecting the money, I started to greet the people below.

There were quite a few people in the county who coveted their steamed buns, but when they saw that there was a beautiful little beauty beside them to help.It's more fun to pay for it.

Although the beauty caused some commotion in the whole team, it wasn't too much.Basically, they leave after buying, and no one dares to come here to make trouble. The county has always protected the vulnerable groups very well, and they work for the yamen. It is understandable to say that they are fascinated by them, but If you want to talk about door-to-door teasing, it's really a long life for an old birthday star to hang himself.

Fortunately, the cook had already made preparations, and the five of them started selling at the same time.The ones they bought when they first arrived were all taken out of the cage, and they were still steaming hot. Many people couldn't hold back, and took a bite on the spot after getting them.Wowotou didn't feel scratching his throat.There is still a little bit of oil in the salty flavor of the vegetable dumpling. The most delicious is the meat bun.I can't wait to take a bite, especially the steaming ones just out of the pot. Even people who are not hungry can't help but eat this taste.

It’s just that meat buns are too expensive, and families who are not wealthy are really reluctant to eat this way. Occasionally, it’s okay to eat a tooth-beating festival.

Obviously the meat buns are the best, but they are leftovers.After a while, I saw someone who looked like a servant came to buy it.There are at least [-] bases when you buy it once.Those wealthy merchants have also heard of it and want to taste it.So the meat buns were sold out early.

After a while, another ox cart driver came over and said, "Wowotou, how many buns do you have?" He asked, he wanted a large quantity, and he was afraid that the trip would be in vain without him.

"The steamed stuffed buns are still steaming in the pot. It takes at least a quarter of an hour to be ready. There are a lot of steamed buns but they are cold. If you want, go back and heat them in the pot." Now this season is cold quickly, but if you put it down, it won't take long. Things get cold.

"Okay, give me [-] steamed buns, [-] meat buns, and [-] vegetable dumplings." The driver said that he could afford to wait, and the people around were shocked.What kind of family buys things like this, can you finish eating?

After inquiring carefully, he found out that he is a young gentleman from the craftsman village, and he has already started working there.People who work have a lot of appetite, and no one knows how to do it. They are basically fooling around. When I came here, I only felt delicious when I ate that meal of steamed bread, but I never ate such a meal except for that meal. Delicious things, thanks to the fact that they are starting to sell here.I beg Mr. Xiao to pay the bill first and owe centimeters, and then pay it back later.Don't eat it all at once, just eat a sweet mouth a day.

He saw that everyone was working hard blacksmithing, so he came out to help everyone buy it.It sounds bluffing to be seen as one or two thousand.But there are more than 530 craftsmen there.He is a blacksmith and a carpenter, and the work is tiring. If he let it go, he could eat seven or eight.But there are too many ox carts to fit in, and there are not so many in the county, so I bought them for a family of three to four.If they can't finish it, they can eat leftovers at night.However, Mr. Xiao smelled the fragrance floating in the air, so there was no such thing as endless eating.

As soon as he bought it like this, he saw that the cage was more than half empty.Those who knew Xin'er was late in the queue were a little speechless.

The little gentleman in the craftsman village said to the girl selling steamed buns: "I will buy so much every day in the future. You can prepare in advance." Everyone works hard, and he, as the logistics support, always helps everyone relieve their worries.

As soon as he left, it took about a quarter of an hour for everything to be sold out, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.They thought these would last at least one morning, but they sold out as soon as the sun came out.Later people did not buy it.

Those who came late and didn't buy it can only come back tomorrow.These pretty girls are very busy today, the money box is almost full, and it is the first time that they have tasted the joy of making money with their own hands. This kind of happiness has never been enjoyed before.Although tiring, it is very fulfilling.

"Let's go, go back early."

The kitchen makes five or six thousand vegetable dumplings every day.It is very tiring to make stuffing with noodles.They can do a little chore on the side.

……

Merchants who came to collect cloth from other places found that they could dye directly locally.Don't they have a weaving factory here, they can dye cloth there, and the price is much cheaper than buying dyes and tie-dyeing themselves, so they just plan to finish it here by themselves.

It takes some time to dye the cloth, and they just stayed here for a while longer.They are small merchants, and they cannot afford to stay in an inn for so many days. The staff at the restaurant pointed them to a way, saying that they could rent it out to a house near the county seat, and fifty cents a month would be enough.

After hearing the news, these people rented a room and moved there. In this big courtyard, each house lived in a family, and there were people with accents from the north and the south.Then I found out that all the people who come here are foreigners who come here to make a living.

Life is easier here, if you can leave your children and grandchildren to enjoy the blessings, you don't want to leave anyway.

Businessmen from other places travel far and wide.It won't take long to mingle with everyone.I heard how many good policies there are as long as you settle down locally.

People who come here to rent a house want to stay, but unfortunately the county recruited a group of new villages.They came late and missed.Others have to bring skills when they want to join the ranks, such as blacksmithing and carpentry. If they want to learn it, they will not stop for ten or eight years, and they are getting older.It's too late to learn, so I have to regret it.

They said that there is not only cloth in the county, but also other things.It is said that a new handmade gold-clad silver jewelry has recently appeared in the county, which is very beautiful.

These businessmen attached great importance to the news and planned to go and have a look.

Although they collect cloth.But other businesses do too.Jewelry is nothing in such a small county, but if you take it outside, the rich and famous families outside will like these little things, and they will buy them at a high price.

I couldn't sit still when I thought about it, so I went over immediately, wanting to see if the things here were really as good as they said, and I became more and more curious about this county.

When I went there, I saw that there was only one apprentice and one shopkeeper in the jewelry store, and there were quite a few people in the room.They went over to take a look, ho... With their eyes of traveling all over the world for many years, they could tell at a glance that this was a good thing.

Every shape is unique and elegant.One of the flower-shaped hairpins is completely hollowed out in the middle. It is made into a twist with very thin silver wire, and then carefully shaped into a flower shape.Also very chic.If there is nothing, there is also the golden phoenix, which pinches the gold thread, which is lifelike. The tail of the phoenix is ​​strand by strand, and the gold thread can actually make the feeling of feathers. There are two small rubies inlaid on the head of the phoenix. as eyes.Just like that is absolutely perfect.They were completely stunned. If it was placed outside, it would be regarded as a treasure in the jewelry store.

But here it is in a box to watch at will.

Even they were moved, such delicate things are rare outside.It's a pity to put it in such a county.

"Shopkeeper, how much is this?"

"20 taels of silver." The shopkeeper said.

The people who watched the excitement nearby gasped when they heard it.It only costs three taels to five taels of silver to marry a daughter-in-law here, and such a headgear costs 20 taels.

But the businessman was overjoyed when he heard that, fearing that the shopkeeper would repent, he bought it without even mentioning the price.Fortunately, I came here today, if I came late, I wouldn't be able to buy it.He saw one smaller than this one before, not as exquisite in shape, and it was sold for 30 taels of silver outside, and there were two people rushing to buy it.His shot of 40 taels is absolutely no problem.You can earn 20 taels of silver by flipping your hands, and you will be happy just thinking about it.

Others wanted to buy it, but they weren't as rich and powerful as this person. The rest were gadgets that could sell for some money, but they weren't as eye-catching as Jin Sifeng.I am afraid that it will be confiscated if it is not easy to get rid of. I took a look here and went back regretfully.

After they left, the shopkeeper took out another golden silk phoenix under the counter that was exactly the same as before.That's what those brothers do.The price is so high, it is not for the people in the county, the target is these foreign caravans.Let them taste the sweetness first, and then they will know to come here to pick up the goods in the future, mutual benefit and reciprocity.

The jewelry made by the two brothers is very popular. They originally made things for the ladies of the capital.Although I didn't deliberately pay attention to what was popular outside, but the county gave them
