Shelter in the pastoral

Two months have passed in a flash, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon.The sky has been cloudy since the morning, and at noon there were still sparse snowflakes. Fang Shujing was sitting in the study room holding the child in her arms. Little Hawthorn could sit up without holding her up, but Fang Shujing was used to it Protecting his son with one hand, this little ancestor is the darling of the whole family, if he bumps into him, let alone his daughter-in-law will get angry, even several other members of the family will rush over to settle accounts with him.

The little boy was quite happy watching his father write at the beginning.But it was probably boring to stay for a while. I called a few times and no one answered, so I fell asleep on my stomach. The cub in his arms lay on his arm with his head tilted, his heart softened, and he wanted to hold him back. Sleeping on the small bed, but who knew that the little boy would wake up with a little bit of dissatisfaction and moan. Fang Shujing stroked his son's hair and said, "Can I go back to sleep on the bed?"

"Hmph." The originally sleepy eyes suddenly widened.I was disturbed by that sleepiness, and I was not happy.

Fang Shujing sighed and said, "Okay, then sit down."

Little Hawthorn agreed well, but when Fang Shujing sat down and lay sleepy on his arm again, the little guy heard the sound of breathing evenly after a while, and he tapped his son's tender little face with his fingers, The guy just turned his head and continued to sleep.

The son slept so soundly, and in the warm study room, Fang Shujing was a little sleepy, so he endured to finish writing this word.

After a while, Xu Quan whispered outside that he wanted to come in.

Xu Quan stewed rock sugar pears in winter, the house is burning fire wall, the air is too dry and easy to get angry, eating some of this can moisten the lungs and clear the throat, I have to stew some every day, and I also ordered the boy to go to the pharmacy to give it to Old Man Liu Send it with Liu Yechen.

Xu Quan didn't dare to make too much noise when he saw the young master sleeping soundly after delivering the things, and planned to go back lightly after delivering the things.

But Fang Shujing stopped him and said, "Send some more meat and rice noodles to parents."

He thought that his father and mother went to the artisan village just on a whim, and they would go back after staying there for a while. Who knew he was serious?

This stay lasted for two months, and he never came back.He even asked him to go back to the county to have a few reunion dinners under the name of Little Hawthorn.Otherwise, I won’t come back, I’m so happy to stay there, I’ll come back and talk endlessly about the powerful craftsmen I’ve seen there, the new technologies I’ve learned, and if anyone’s family has a little unique knowledge, they’ll hide it, and some old Even if the master dies, he refuses to teach others, but they are different. Everyone discusses and learns from each other.Father Fang repeatedly said that it would be great if he could know this place when he was young, so that he could avoid a lot of detours in this industry. Fang Shujing said: "Go over there and have a look. If there is anything missing, we will give it to you." deliver."

Xu Quan has been there a few times and he is familiar with the way, said: "I told my wife last time, she said that there is no shortage of anything there, and you can exchange it for centimeters. I persuade them to come back and never come back."

"Did you tell me about the letter from my hometown?" Fang Shujing asked.

After staying with Father Fang for two months, the Fang family has no intention of going back now, and the eldest brother in his hometown is also in a hurry. He asked someone to write three letters to urge them to go home.

Xu Quan said: "I said it several times, but my wife said that there is nothing wrong with the family and it is fine here, so I don't want to go back at all."

Fang Shujing tried everything to get his mother back.But there was nothing he could do to make him comfortable in the craftsman's village.

Fang Shujing said: "I wrote back a letter to my hometown yesterday, asking them to come here to celebrate the New Year, and my parents will not go back."

"Yes." Xu Quan said.

Fang Shujing thought for a while, and said, "Forget it, don't give away meat and food. This time, just bring it back to the old couple."

Xu Quan was a little nervous and said, "Hold it?" I don't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that Father Fang became stronger after he went to the craftsman village.His small body is not enough for a punch.And the last time he went there, he saw that the rice and noodle tanks in the small courtyard were full, and it seemed that he planned to live there for a long time.

Fang Shujing said: "You just say killing pigs."

Xu Quan was taken aback for a moment, then he realized that a smile bloomed on his face, the young master is smart.

Everyone in the county is looking forward to eating black pork. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, every household has prepared their money.Even Xu Quan wanted to eat some of the people talking about it. I heard that their black pig is the best pig in the local area. It tastes much better than ordinary pork. It is a cooperation between the yamen and the village, and it is not available outside. Woolen cloth.

Speaking of butchering pigs, he drools when he hears about it, Fang and the others must be too greedy.

Then I went out to tell the news happily.

Fang Shujing asked someone to invite the master in, and talked about the slaughter of pigs. Now that it is winter, there is a natural icehouse outside, and it will not spoil even if you don't eat it.Some people like to make air-dried sausages, and now they can eat them in the first lunar month.

The master is addicted to work now, so he likes to be busy. Now that Fang Shujing has assigned him the important task of killing pigs, he immediately regains his energy.Said: "Don't worry." After he finished speaking, he was about to go out to make arrangements.

The little guy in Fang Shujing's arms was already sound asleep, and the little boy would definitely have a stiff neck if he was in this position for a long time. Fang Shujing quietly picked up the child and went back to the house and put it on the big bed.Little Hawthorn's small chest rose and fell, and Fang Shujing just looked at it and felt that the years were peaceful.

It was too cold outside, Liu Yechen and his pharmacy closed before noon, they waited outside for a while before coming in, the son was fast asleep on the bed, Fang Shujing went to hold his hand to warm him warm.

Liu Yechen is a gentle and wise little doctor outside, but at home, he likes to lean against Fang Shujing's side. From childhood to adulthood, only this warm embrace can pamper him to act like a baby!

Fang Shujing hugged his wife and said, "By the way, I just gave the child a name."

Liu Yechen's eyes lit up and he said, "What's your name?" In the old home, the children didn't want to name them, saying that they were afraid that the little ghost would take the child's soul away, but in Pingyang County, it seemed that they didn't pay much attention to this, and the boy hadn't had a name yet.

Fang Shujing took out a piece of paper from the book.When I opened it, I saw two words written on it: Hongjun.

Liu Yechen said: "Fang Hongjun." He quite liked it.

Glancing over at the boy, he couldn't help but gently teased the boy and said, "You're famous, son."

Zhengxiang, who was sleeping, was not happy to be disturbed, and wanted to howl out of her throat, but when she opened her eyes and saw it was Liu Yechen, she became obedient on the spot, and even groaned twice, wanting to hug her.

Liu Yechen picked up his son and kissed his chubby cheek, and whispered, "Don't sleep too much during the day. Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep at night."

No wonder Little Shanzha likes Liu Yechen, he can really do whatever he wants in Liu Yechen's arms, Fang Shujing is not so used to him, only Liu Yechen has a good temper!

With Liu Yechen present, there was a lot of laughter in the room after a while.

Fang Shujing said: "My parents will be back soon."

Liu Yechen said: "That's great." If it's convenient to be filial by their side, I sent someone to pick them up several times, but they didn't come back.

Fang Shujing couldn't help asking for credit and said, "It was all my tricks."

Liu Yechen's eyes were full of admiration and he said, "Sister Xiang is really smart."

Fang Shujing couldn't hold back and kissed Liu Yechen's cheek, who knew that the little brat in his arms quit and howled.Fang Shujing has always known what he looks like as a little vinegar spirit, so he kissed the little hawthorn in the same way, and the little boy settled down.

Liu Yechen felt a little emotional when he saw it. He said before that he wanted another child, but he didn't want it just because of Xiao Shanzhao's jealous and domineering appearance!

They set up a large table of food and did not come back until nightfall.The cub ate rice cereal early and was fed half an egg before he was satisfied and was carried down by Chunni to play. The adults were very hungry.

In the evening, Mrs. Fang and Father Fang came back.As soon as she came in and saw that the dishes on the table hadn't been moved, the old Fang blushed and said, "What are you waiting for me to eat, eat quickly."

Xu Quan just came back, and it was cold in the snowy winter, and it was as if he was alive again when he entered the room and felt the heat of the room.Although Fang agreed to come back when he heard the killing of pigs there, he didn't dare to come back first. What if he changed his mind? Fortunately, Xu Quan didn't leave. According to Fang's character of being afraid of troublesome others, it's really not a big time to go back tonight.

There were servants here all the time heating up the food, and the food was not completely cold when they came in, so everyone had a bite of food.

After finishing the meal, they cleaned up the food, and they all went to Fang's and the others' house. Fang's old couple originally wanted to see Little Hawthorn, but the child couldn't make it through so late and went to bed early, so they had to see their cute little grandson tomorrow.

Fang Shujing said: "Why did you delay?"

Fang said: "Didn't you mean to kill pigs? I registered by the way, how much you want to eat, and if there are suitable ones, I will bring them back to you." She is enthusiastic and loves to talk. Let's talk about it.

But later many people took the initiative to ask for it. Fang is not a person who would reject others, and she was too embarrassed to help this one or not, so she just went together.Xu Quan and the two young gentlemen from the Craftsman Village helped to record this, and Fang refused all the money, because she was afraid that she would not be able to remember.He said that he would give money after getting the things back.

People in the artisan village not only have centimeters that can be exchanged for daily necessities, but can also be exchanged for money. The artisan village has only been established for a few months, and some artisans have already paid off their debts and still have a small balance. Skilled people are hungry everywhere. Immortal.

Seeing that there were too many people asking for pork, Fang was afraid that there would not be so many pigs. In addition, her family had also done business and was very smart, so she told everyone that each person could only ask for five catties at most.As soon as the news came out, no one who could ask for five catties would ask for four catties. The total of more than 500 people in the craftsman village was three thousand catties.Most people want meat, some people have many children and grandchildren, and those who usually put them together for fire, want some of the meat to exchange for some pig intestines, pig hearts, ribs, etc. Some people like to eat this.

Fang Shujing said: "Okay." This is what his mother promised, and he cannot let his mother lose face outside.

Fang and the others were a little tired in a warm room after a busy day. Fang Shujing simply said something and went out to let them rest.

The next day when the snow stopped, Fang Shujing went to the yamen. Just as the master was about to go outside, he greeted Fang Shujing, saying that he was going to the village to watch over the slaughter of pigs.The news was released yesterday, and when I came here today, many people wanted to buy pork.

Fang Shujing said: "I'll go with you." Left and right are fine now, killing pigs is a big deal.

The master was a little surprised, and it would be nice to have Fang Shujing go with him.The magistrate of the county was there, and a dozen yamen servants were called to protect him, and three carriages went out in a mighty way!

Fang Shujing told the master about the three thousand catties of meat in the craftsman village. The farm tools in the craftsman village are selling very well. Not only the nearby villages come to buy them, but also small traders come to sell them. They are great contributors. Well, they can't forget about killing pigs for the New Year.

The master said: "I went there a few days ago, and the largest black pig there is more than 200 catties. If they want it, twenty heads are probably not enough. Although the pig weighs more than 200 catties, it has a lot of offal and blood, as well as bones and meat. The pig’s head and everything else weighs a lot, so I’m afraid there’s not much pure meat.” He often goes to see the big black pigs, and knows the number of black pigs in the village.

Fang Shujing said: "I remember that every family raises ten pigs. There are more than 80 households in their side. There are a total of 700 pigs, and more than [-] pigs died after going to the pigs."

The master has a pamphlet, which says, "Which family raises well, and whoever raises poorly has records, saying: "This is the pig, there are big and small. Not all of them are fat. I heard from the people in the county. Everyone in the village wants to know when we will kill pigs and come to buy pork, so what’s the matter, I’m afraid our own county doesn’t have enough to eat.” Even though he said so, there was a smile on his face, he was looking forward to the county more than anyone else. Li Hao, now their Pingyang County is the best place in the vicinity, and even the pigs they raise are extraordinary and refined.

Fang Shujing pondered for a while and said: "After the pigs are weighed, they will be charged according to the current price of pigs, and their bonus points will be given to them in addition. Their family can't eat half a pig, and it would be okay if they were replaced with pork." If you have to sell it, it’s better to turn it into money.” The county is not short of money now.

The master said: "Yes." Then he flipped through his little book and said: "The chickens, ducks and geese should also be sold." Now that it's winter, there is no way to let them out, so they just eat food. Those who are fat and fat will lose weight in winter.

Fang Shujing said: "You pay attention to this matter."

The master nodded again and again: "You can rest assured that this is in my heart, and it can't be wrong."

As soon as the news of Fang Shujing and the others' arrival in the village came out, the village exploded, and everyone, young and old, wanted to see this young and promising county magistrate.If it weren't for the poor and cold in his village.It's not like listening to pigs yelling and eating now, I can make a living every day.

Seeing that Fang Shujing was younger and more handsome than they imagined.Said: "Hello, my lord."

There was even the excited old man who would kneel down when he saw him, shouting "Master Qingtian".Fang Shujing didn't want to ask someone to do this, so he quickly helped him up.Said: "Everyone has worked hard for a year. The whole county knows that you raise pigs well, and they are all waiting to eat pork. When it was originally set, it was divided according to the proportion with the county, either for meat or for money. Every year, pigs are paid for. Pick the big ones first, and come directly to the master to keep the accounts, and the money will be sent tomorrow."

"Hey..." Everyone knew for a long time that they could make money this year, but they felt relieved when they heard Fang Shujing say it again.

The village chief was still thinking about an important matter. He didn't see Fang Shujing on weekdays, but he saw him today. He hurriedly asked, "Then next year, will we cooperate to raise pigs?"

Fang Shujing said: "No, you can figure it out. Anyway, I have some money in hand."

The village chief and the others were even more enthusiastic when they heard that they could raise more money next year if they earned money this year.Ask Fang Shujing if he will accept it next year.

Fang Shujing said: "Take it, but it must be a good pig that is slaughtered."

After hearing his words, the village head was completely relieved, and the people around him also smiled when they heard it.

Their village has known for a long time that pigs will be slaughtered in the next few days, so they have found a pig butcher, and they will kill forty pigs first.Give money while weighing.

The village chief’s pigs are the best. Their family first weighed the big one with a weight of 270 catties, which is the king of pigs this year. It is the best time for pigs to travel.Went to that part of the county.Got four taels of silver in hand.

This news made the village head not come to his senses for a long time. It used to take half a lifetime to save four taels of silver.Now it only takes the whole family to work hard for a year, which is really profitable.Hearing this news, his breath became short of breath, and he made up his mind, anyway, the pigsty is ready-made, go back and expand it to catch ten more pigs next year, which is much better than hard farming.

Others heard that the village chief's family could get four taels of silver, and they were able to estimate their own money.

The first ones caught are the well-raised ones.

There is another person whose ten pigs add up to more than half taels more than the village head settled.Although there is no pig king in his family, all the pigs are evenly fat, unlike other families where some are fat and some are thin.Fang Shujing asked the master to write him down, so that he can raise pigs for the county in the future.Setting up a swineherd earns more than doing it yourself all year round.

So he started killing pigs.The butcher began to boil water to clean the pig hair and so on.Put the heart, liver, pork belly, and intestines aside.Find a big vat in the village to keep pig blood.A total of three large vats were placed, and the pig's heart, liver and lungs were piled up into a hill.Put the pig's feet, tail, and pig's head separately.Put the two pigs on the chopping board.Fang Shujing had the list in his hand, so he packed the ones from the craftsman village first, and sent them there in a bullock cart, followed by a yamen servant, and went to divide them when the time came.After he transported it away in this way, only a small half of the meat was left. He wanted to sell these in the county. Who knew that the village head who raised them said: "Why don't you sell these to our village." They worked so hard to raise them. It's been a year of pigs, and I haven't tasted the taste of pigs yet.Fang Shujing saw that there was not much left, and it was not enough to go to the county, so he simply sold it in the village.They also keep accounts, and when the time comes to settle the money, it will be deducted.

I am very happy to get the pork one by one.I plan to satisfy my hunger today.

The rest of the stuff can also be sold, but the price is lower, but these are collected from the whole pig at nine renminbi a catty, and if they are sold at most, it will be three renminbi per catty, and it will be a waste if they are sold, Fang Shujing has other uses.

Ask people to transport them to the county for dine-in. There are already more than 20 people here, all of whom are clean and tidy women.

Fang Shujing told them to deal with it.

A few cooks can turn these things into treasures.

Many people inquired about the slaughter of pigs that day. Where is the pork?After inquiring at the gate of the yamen, I realized that killing and selling pork is not enough.We can only wait for the next batch, not to mention how regretful they are.

But soon they discovered that the dine-in shop was doing new tricks. They used to make steamed buns, steamed buns, and steamed buns. Today, they can smell the smell of meat from a long distance away.

The people around looked over and were pleasantly surprised on the spot.

A lot of seasoning is added to the pig's blood to remove the fishy smell, water and eggs are added, and a whole plate is steamed out. It is said that this is called blood tofu, and it only costs two cents a catty if you need to cut as much as you want and stew sauerkraut.This is already steamed, and the white mouth is also delicious when dipped in garlic sauce.Put a few small pieces next to it to try, it is tender and smooth and delicious.

There are other foods next to it, including boneless meat, all of which are braised pig heads.Then mix it with seasoning, and you can see it smelling of oil from a long distance. There are also all kinds of marinated pig intestines, pig ears, pig feet, and pig tails. Some people especially like to eat this bite.

From a distance, there are several large pots.

The Wowotou they made before was very sweet, but now they make meat, and everyone wants to buy it and eat it.

If you need to make your own meat when you buy it, it’s good for someone else to make it ready-made, and you can eat it when you take it home. Thinking about it, I started buying it.

"Here's a pig's ear." The people in front of the queue became greedy just by smelling it. This is the best appetizer: "Pig blood cake for two cents more." The seller quickly packed it for him. .

Then he said: "Give me some bone-destroyed meat, and pig blood cake for five cents." They kill a lot of pigs here, and these pigs have enough sewage pipes, and some of them who know how to live will bring their own pots and bowls, and buy something by the way If you want some braised gravy, it's best to eat rice when you go home.

After a while, a large pot was sold out.But soon the big pot below was served again. The big pot in the small kitchen was still cooking, and there were a lot of things.There was also a queue gradually forming in the back.

This street is full of the smell of braised pork. Some people can't help but eat it directly after buying it. It's really delicious.After eating, he smacked his lips and said, "It's delicious but it's a bit expensive."

The girl who was selling things heard it, and she smiled and said to everyone: "This is really not expensive, and a lot of seasoning is used to make this. If other stores can't make this taste at all."

The pork blood cake was the first to be sold out. More than 30 plates of that kind were sold and there was nothing left.It's cheap and delicious, and many people like it.

After a while, the bone meat was also sold out.

Things like pig tails and trotters are more expensive and are the last to sell out.

The big bones of the slaughtered pigs are all saved, and I used to make egg drop soup, but the bone soup tastes better than the egg drop soup in the future.

Master personally went to the pig slaughter the next day, and this time all the pork was supplied to the county.We all know that everyone may have to buy some meat for the New Year. The people in the county have just become rich, and they are very budget-conscious and have no purchase limit. They wonder how much they can buy, but they are careless. Forty pigs are not enough to sell.Many people want to eat a good meal even though they are saving money on weekdays.Whoever buys meat that weighs ten catties doesn't even blink an eye!

After selling for about an hour, the items were gone, and the people queuing behind were dumbfounded.The master ordered people to kill [-] heads, and then imposed a purchase limit, five catties per person.I thought it should be enough this time, but it turned out that everyone became more happy when they paid for it!

The deboned meat and braised pig's trotters were also kept. Killing pigs made the common people very happy. These days, people in the county don't stay outside when it's time to eat. As long as they see the smoke from the kitchen at home starts to fly, they will be on time. Started looking forward to that meal at home.

……

Fang Shujing also stewed a little meat at home, which is braised pork with skin. Their local black pig tastes really good. It is worth waiting for them for so long. The pork is a little bit tough, not like ordinary pigs. It is easy to be soft and rotten. As long as it is stewed well, even fatty meat will not taste greasy at all.It’s just that you have to eat it quickly, otherwise the little hawthorn will cause trouble. He recently started to eat complementary food and found that the food of adults is so delicious. His eyes are full of doubts, and he always suspects that adults always treat delicious Keep the ones for yourself.

Eating the best rice brought from my hometown, paired with the braised pork of the local black pig is a perfect match.

Both old man Liu and old man Fang showed the appetite of young people. The two of them seemed to be in a competition, adding a bowl after a while, but finally Liu Yechen couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Master, eat less, eat more at night." I can't digest it."

Old man Liu was still stubborn, saying that no matter how much he ate, he could digest it, but after being persuaded by his apprentice, he really didn't eat as much as before.

Father Fang was also very happy to eat the delicious food, and said: "It's delicious, this trip to Pingyang County is really not in vain." He went to the Craftsman Village to learn about crafts and design, and ate the specialty Xiao Hei here. Pig, if the production is not too small, he would like to take it back for the eldest son's family to taste!

For Fang's father, especially the trip to the Craftsman Village is worth it.He is also an old carpenter who has been working for decades. In terms of making things, he is ranked high even in the artisan village, but the difference is in design and awareness.After coming here, everyone exchanged ideas and learned, and what they learned could not be bought outside with money, and when they came to the county, they were hugged by their grandchildren.

Fang Shujing was also happy. Little Hawthorn usually slept with them. As soon as Fang and the others came, they would leave Little Hawthorn in the care of their grandparents. The two of them would enjoy the time without children comfortably.

The next day, the servants directly brought back the two finished pork dishes, saying that the master asked him to take them back, and Fang Shu took them all. This is the county's welfare, and other people have them too, but there are not so many.

Father Fang saw so much pork and said, "It's a pity that such a good pig doesn't make bacon and sausages." Although it is near the north and it is very cold on weekdays, there is no need to use salt to preserve food, but bacon and sausages have a special flavor. The bacon at home is made by Father Fang.He is best at two things, one is a carpenter and the other is a wax product. Fang Shujing said: "Then do whatever you want, and I will ask someone to buy what is missing."

Father Fang wanted some white wine and seasonings, intending to show off his might.

Fang's came to Fang Shujing holding the little hawthorn and said, "I have something to tell you."

When Fang Shujing heard this, he quickly took it to his mother's study.Here is the place to talk.

Fang said: "There are a lot of good guys in the craftsman village. They are honest and serious. They don't have fancy guts and skills, but they can't get a wife." When I was a child, I told others that there were several couples, and now I went to the artisan village, whether I looked at this or that, I only regretted that I didn't have a few daughters!She is anxious, besides, there are so many young men who don't look for wives, and they have nowhere to use their energy.

Fang Shujing said: "Then what do you think?" It's not easy for his parents to be an official, not only to ensure food and clothing, but also to make money and arrange for them to marry a wife.Fang Shujing can't be blamed for this matter. There is a problem of more men than women in their county. Recently, their village has developed, and many people from other villages have married to alleviate this situation. Singles in other villages who cannot get married are still There are a lot.

Fang said: "It used to be said that matchmaking is one-on-one introductions, which is too troublesome. Why don't you, a county magistrate, organize a special flower viewing party or something."

Fang Shujing was amused when he heard it, and said, "Mother, do you still know about the flower viewing party?"

Fang said proudly: "It's written like this in the script."

Fang Shujing said: "It's winter now, not to mention flowers, even the mountains are bare."

Fang was anxious: "Then what should I do?" She lived in the craftsman village for many days, and saw that the young people looked like they were sons, and many of them also wanted to get married, and asked her if there was any suitable girl, so she said Keep it in mind and do it as a matter of course.

Fang Shujing said: "Don't be in a hurry and I will make arrangements." He regarded this matter as very important, and asked his master to tell him that anyone who thinks of a good way will be rewarded with ten catties of pork.

Pork is now a hard currency in the county. Although their supplies have been distributed, no one has had any human relations. After a few more meals, it will be gone.

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man.Fang Shujing quickly found a good solution, which was suggested by a small yamen servant, to call all the matchmakers in a radius of ten miles, and let those girls wear veils to see each other.

This is quite reliable. In the past, the blind date was one by one, but this time it was a group of friends.

Then he asked the master to find out all the famous matchmakers in a radius of ten miles, and the matchmaker's eyes lit up when she heard it.Said: "The county will protect the media." This is the first time she has done so many years. If any girl can catch up with this experience, it will be enough to talk about for a lifetime.Besides, craftsmen and craftsmen are not slaves, and they still work for the county. This condition is a first-class good condition in the eyes of the matchmaker.Afterwards, I cleaned up. To find a suitable family, the big matchmaker did things differently. In just five days, fifty girls were found, and fifty young men came out to have a look first!

After getting the news, Fang Shujing told Fang Shi, Fang Shujing was happy and said: "There are thousands of girls in the family, please call a few more young men." If you see a girl, you have to tidy up well, and you can't do it like usual.

She really cares about it, but Father Fang is still making bacon and sausages, seasoning and marinating, and finally filling the sausages.There was some work that hindered him, so Fang had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and help him make sausages first, and then agreed that the two of them would go back to the artisan village as soon as they finished.Fang Shujing couldn't help but said: "Mother, do you have an illegitimate child over there?"

Fang laughed and cursed: "Get out."

The Fang family stayed in the county for another two days, waiting for the smoked sausages to be hung under the eaves, and then they returned to the Craftsman Village to bring back the good news.After bringing the news, the young man in the craftsman village exploded.

"What, can you match me if you want a blind date?"

"If a girl wants to choose, she must choose me!"

"Hey, the girl is blind."

They say so, but in fact they secretly exchange centimeters for clothes, and those who are more clever exchange centimeters for some snacks that girls love to eat, intending to please their beauties, who don't want to hug their daughter-in-law.

Many people gathered in front of Fang's house, all of them were bachelors who came to learn scriptures. When Fang said, they were ignorant but listened very seriously!

Anyway, to sum it up, you need to be smart, respect each other, and behave appropriately, which is really difficult for them to do small jobs.

When it was the right day, they sent the good clothes that they were reluctant to wear on weekdays to dress themselves up. It is true that people rely on clothes. handsome boy.As a craftsman, you must be able to write and draw, and also have craftsmanship.Not to mention other things after getting married, just manage well and eat meat every now and then.Moreover, there are many craftsmen here, and they also know who is good and who is not.In the future, the problem of children's apprenticeship will be solved.

Fang and the others sent these young men out of the village to go on blind dates one by one.

There are only a few old craftsmen in their 40s left in the village, and their apprentices have all left. The rest of them are too lazy to continue working, so they simply invite three or five people to drink tea together.Gossiping with each other, said: "Why didn't we catch up with this good time before." Looking at the group of little apprentices who were usually silent, they rushed out to go on a blind date.

Their marriage was delayed back then.

The friend said: "Why, you still want to find another old lady? There are a lot of apprentices, why are you so shameless?"

"I just think about it, and I don't break the law if I think about it."

The friend said with a broken mouth: "What else are you thinking about, it's useless."

Whoops, this involves the dignity of a man, whether it is tolerable or unbearable, he immediately said: "What nonsense, how do you know that I am useless, you have used it..."

Who would have thought that a group of little old men would quarrel like young boys.Father Fang, who wandered nearby, pretended he didn't hear anything and walked out. It's normal, which master doesn't have any eccentricities.

The two people who were bickering in the room did not expect that their joke would be misunderstood by people outside.

That night the young lads came back, some were happy with flowers in their hands, and some were not.Fang could tell at a glance that these people who were holding flowers were the ones who embraced beautiful women.

Said: "How is it?"

"We will be able to get married in a very good year. At that time, the county will say that we will do it together, and the county magistrate will be able to attend in person." This is their honor, and there are no young people in the county who do not worship Fang Shujing.

There were also some who didn't perform well and didn't catch the girls' attention, and they were all downcast.

Fang said: "Don't be discouraged, you will definitely have a chance in the future."

Those who were not selected said: "The teacher and the matchmaker also said the same, but when I think of them, they will take the lead. In the future, we will get married before us, and have children before us, so I feel uncomfortable." .Now that the partners have left the order first, it seems that they are very pitiful.

Fang gave some general comfort.It seems that the artisan village will be busy for a long time in the future. The scene of fifty people getting married at the same time is very exciting. She decided to wait until she saw everyone getting married before leaving.When I said this to Father Fang at night, Father Fang suddenly said: "Or let's not leave." He is usually reticent. Energized, he said, "What do you mean?"

Father Fang was a bit reluctant to stay here, and the longer he got to know a lot of friends, some people wanted to worship him as a teacher, and some wanted to recognize him as a godfather. The son is already fully able to stand up, so the furniture factory will work for him. With so many people helping him, he can't starve to death. The old couple lived here completely.This was an idea of ​​his, but he didn't dare to tell Fang Shi, for fear that she would disagree, who knows why he said it out of the blue today.And Fang's energy immediately sat up.

Fang thinks about it, the eldest son seems to have nothing to worry about, earning a few centimeters here, hugging the younger grandson, and occasionally being a matchmaker for others, life is more enjoyable than before.Said: "It's really good." The two counted the benefits of coming here. Originally, they wanted to stay for ten days and a half months before returning to their hometown, but they stayed until now and still don't want to go back.They have also worked hard for most of their lives, and finally they can enjoy the blessings when they are old. The old couple talked at night and didn't go to bed until very late.Anyway, I made up my mind that I can't leave, and I will send a letter to my hometown after I decide.

As a result, the letter was sent to my hometown, but Fang Dalang's family was shocked. I don't know what happened. My father and mother didn't even want their hometown. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, they simply gave the wood furniture factory a holiday and entrusted it to trusted relatives. .I went to Pingyang County with my family, but God did not continue to cool down.

When they arrived at the county seat, they were still lost, so they inquired about the yamen servant, and after the yamen servant went to report, they were sent to Fang Shujing's home.

Embolus is also traveling with him.

Fang Shujing was overjoyed and said, "Why are you here?"

Shuanzi runs a grocery store in the provincial capital for Fang Shujing. It looks small but the dividends are high. There are no people around during the Chinese New Year. He also gave the guys a holiday early and brought the account book and bank notes to come to Fang Shu. Fang Dalang, who made the net reimbursement, said: "On the way
