There is An Apocalyptic Man in the Village

The thick guy Zhang Dazhu usually doesn't know what shyness is, but at this moment, with his bear-like body, he stood there awkwardly shaking his head, Wu Qingyuan couldn't think of other words to describe it except shyness.

And there was no one else who could make Zhang Dazhu react like this except brother Zhou, and when he heard Zhang Dazhu say that his mother was looking for him, Wu Qingyuan guessed something right away, it must be that the Zhang family wanted to propose marriage.

The fact is indeed the case. Aunt Zhang brought her son to Wu Qingyuan to move today, but also came to propose marriage. Taking advantage of this good day, she hurriedly settled on her son's marriage.

The son's marriage these years has always been Aunt Zhang's heartache. It is not her wish to delay the two children until now. Zhang Dazhu is the second son in the family. The younger brothers and sisters below are all married. Probably not in a hurry.

In fact, Zhou Geer is very satisfied, she looks good, the younger brother is the younger brother, her family is not particular, the younger brother is good, the younger brother can have children and work, but the problem is the old lady Zhou It's so disgusting that they have to spend dozens of taels before agreeing to the marriage.

The Zhang family is just a relatively well-to-do farmer, a few taels of silver is fine, tens of taels is the property of the whole family, if it is really given to Zhang Dazhu to marry Brother Zhou, what will the family do in the future?As a woman in charge of the house, she has to think about the whole family.

But who knew that her son was so stubborn that he decided that he would never turn back, so that he was still single at the age of 24, and he was anxious to death.

But now it’s all right, Brother Zhou has a cousin who loves him, not as unreasonable as Mrs. Zhou, the two children have finally come to the end of their hardships, so after the last time I talked to Wu Qingyuan, the Zhang family is actively preparing to propose marriage things.

Zhang Dazhu had wanted to come here a long time ago, but it is not a trivial matter to propose a marriage, and Aunt Zhang is not a woman who does not know how to be polite. Delay until now.

It can be seen that the Zhang family still attaches great importance to Brother Zhou, and the dowry gift they brought is very generous.

Two packs of wedding cakes, two pairs of chickens, six catties of pork and four pieces of fish, one pair of coconuts and four bottles of wine, plus a few catties of dried longan and the like, and finally Dou Ermi, which is twenty catties of glutinous rice and three catties of two taels Granulated sugar, this is everyone's practice. The man makes glutinous rice balls for the woman's family, whichever is the custom of consummation and sweetness.

This betrothal gift is indeed very generous in Liushu Village, even if it is to marry a girl, it is only so much a betrothal gift, half of it is almost half of the average brother.

Moving today, the villagers who came to see the excitement have not yet left. Seeing the dowry brought by the Zhang family blow up the pot again, the unmarried girls and brothers are even more envious. The value of the dowry is directly related to the lintel and the future marriage. With the status of her in-law's family, Brother Zhou is just a younger brother, so he is so lucky to be treated like this, not to mention that everyone knows that Zhang Dazhu likes Brother Zhou very much.

However, it is reasonable for the Zhang family to bring so many betrothal gifts. Today's brother Zhou is no longer the poor little brother of the Zhou family who was loved by no one. With Wu Qingyuan who is "rich" With the support of my cousin, Brother Zhou's status has risen with the tide.

So even though Wu Qingyuan's tone had been tested last time, the Zhang family was still very nervous about coming to propose marriage today, for fear that Wu Qingyuan would change his mind.

"Brother Wu, in addition to these betrothal gifts, our family is also willing to pay three taels of silver as betrothal money. What do you think?"

The Wu family had no elders, and Wu Qingyuan was not a woman who beat around the bush and bargained for prices, so the Zhang family couple directly put forward all the conditions they could agree to, and it was up to Wu Qingyuan whether it would be successful or not.

For the marriage of their son, the Zhang family also gritted their teeth and spent all their money. The dowry of three taels of silver is definitely the highest record in Liushu Village so far for marrying a younger brother. I think Lin Laogen used three taels of silver to scare the Zhao family away. Yes, one can imagine how valuable the dowry money of three liang of silver is, it is really too sincere, if Wu Qingyuan refuses to agree, there is nothing they can do.

Brother Zhou also looked at Wu Qingyuan nervously, he didn't ask for anything in his life, he just wanted to marry Zhang Dazhu to live.

"Yes, I wonder if Aunt Zhang has brought the calendar? If so, let's set the date now."

This marriage was destined. Although the Zhang family is not particularly rich, they are also a good family. Wu Qingyuan naturally smiled and nodded in agreement. Brother Zhou got married and lived a happy life. He also has an explanation for Zhou Daniu, the second husband up.

Wu Qingyuan nodded, the marriage was considered a success, everyone in the Zhang family was overjoyed, Brother Zhou also wept with joy, and the surrounding villagers also laughed, but there has been no happy event in the village for a long time.

After some final discussions, Zhou Ge'er and Zhang Dazhu's marriage was fixed in the first month, which is the time of the Chinese New Year at the end of the year. Now it is mid-August, and there are still about five months before the Chinese New Year.

Wu Qingyuan naturally had considerations for setting the date of marriage at this time.

In a few days, it will be the autumn harvest in the village. At that time, everyone will be busy harvesting and selling food. It will take at least a month or two to come and go. The day is getting closer, and the Zhang family has no time to prepare for marriage. And during the Chinese New Year period, it is festive and leisurely, and it is the most suitable for doing business.

And when Brother Zhou gets married, he, as the senior of his natal family, will also prepare a dowry.

Although Wu Qingyuan has always been single and has little contact with family matters, it does not mean that he does not understand. The Zhang family treats Brother Zhou well now, and Zhang Dazhu also likes Brother Zhou, but there are so many brothers and sisters in the Zhang family. After the child has passed, there will definitely still be conflicts.

So no matter whether he really cares about Brother Zhou, or considers it for Brother Zhou, so that he can have the confidence between his sister-in-law when he is a wife, he must not be stingy about the dowry, and he must prepare well. The key to this preparation is naturally money.

He still has a lot of gold left in the space, so he doesn't worry about money, but Wu Qingyuan doesn't want to use the gold in the space to deal with it when he has nothing to do. People, after all, a person who came to settle alone from other places owns a few thousand taels and a few hundred taels is not a concept at all.

Therefore, Zhou Geer's marriage was scheduled for the Chinese New Year. During the five-month idle time, he could just start the carbon kiln business as a cover, which not only gave the Zhang family time to prepare for the marriage, but also gave himself a buffer. My brother's marriage and his own life-long affairs must also be considered. Everyone thinks that this day of the first month is good.

..........

After the matter was settled, Wu Qingyuan immediately went to the town to buy two bolts of high-quality red silk and came back to make wedding clothes for Brother Zhou, and then began to buy wood and started the carbon kiln.

For example, if the villagers in the village burn charcoal by themselves, they basically pick up wood from the mountains by themselves, because the amount is not much, and Wu Qingyuan is going to do a big job, and the wood needed is calculated in kilograms. Zhang Dazhu and others were going to pick it up, so they had to buy it.

In addition to the technical requirements for burning charcoal, the material of the wood is also good or bad. The charcoal produced by good wood is good. Among them, Qinggang wood is the best, and the charcoal produced basically does not burst into sparks. Generally, it is fruit trees and the like. Ordinary wood.

When planning the carbon kiln work during this period, Wu Qingyuan also learned about the carbon market in Shiqiao Town again. Doing business definitely needs to be investigated and understood.

After some investigation, he found that carbon is really a very profitable business here. The last time the village repaired the house, the village told him that there is indeed a kang here. According to normal circumstances, if there is a kang, it is basically impossible to burn so much carbon.

But the problem is that the winter here is really cold, and it is impossible to burn the kang all day long. During the day, everyone has to get out of bed, and if they don’t go out to the fields, they have to do some hand-made weaving in the house to supplement their household expenses. Even if they sit on the bed and work, the whole The temperature in the house is too low, and it is unbearable to expose your hands outside for a long time. It is necessary to burn charcoal all day long to ensure the temperature in the house to survive the winter comfortably, which is why the demand for carbon in this place is so large.

Those who sell charcoal need a large amount of wood, and the quality of the wood is high. It is impossible to take workers to the mountains to pick up two dead branches and finish the job. Therefore, a group of traders specializing in wood business has been derived.

Ordinary people can't get the best charcoal-burning wood like Qinggang wood, and the sources are all controlled by these wood traders. The same is true for common charcoal-burning wood like fruit wood, because the main crops of ordinary people are circled in food, and there is no way to get them. No one has planted fruit trees on a large scale, and all sources of charcoal-burning wood are monopolized. It doesn’t matter if you can’t buy it at all, and it’s not necessarily good if you buy it. Who can guarantee that the wood merchants won’t cheat you, the Chen family was cheated.

This directly leads to the fact that villagers can only pick up dead branches on the mountain if they want to burn carbon, and dare not cut down trees if they want to cut down trees. In the end, the whole mountain collapsed and the soil buried people, and then drought and famine began. Everyone said it was because they offended the mountain god.

Therefore, the people of the Xia Kingdom today have fear and taboo, and they dare not cut too much firewood. Most of the wood merchants buy from the hillside to plant themselves or buy from various places.

If Wu Qingyuan wanted to burn carbon, he would naturally have to go to a specialized timber merchant to buy it, but because these people monopolize the business, he is a stranger, so the price he charged is too high and the cost is too high, even if he burns it, he can't make much money. .

So in the end, Wu Qingyuan only bought two thousand catties of green pine wood and one thousand catties of fruit wood. Using supernatural powers, half of them started to burn, and half of them quietly used supernatural powers to accelerate ripening to reduce costs.

This is the method he thought of when planning. His wood ability is unique, because of his rebirth, his ability level has reached the peak, and he can directly ripen a seed or dead branch into a finished product in a short time. There is no problem at all, there is no need to fight and kill for the safety of this world, in order not to waste it, of course it can only be used to make money.

Now it is just wood for burning charcoal. In the future, there will be food, herbs, etc. All plants can be ripened. As long as he uses it properly and is careful, he can create a comfortable living environment for Amo and future children.

Thinking about the future life of his wife and children, Wu Qingyuan was full of motivation.

The author has something to say: Brother Ang’s career has not progressed at all recently, and he needs to have some family background if he wants to marry a wife. Career and love are developing at the same time. Zhou Ge’er is engaged. Will Lin Ge’er be far away...
