Crossing the Tang Dynasty to farm

If Ah Shu couldn't take it there, he would stay at home and give Ah Shu this mouthful of food. "

The aunt raised her head and said firmly, "I don't know how to marry, so I will stay here."

The old man smiled and said: "You will still be my daughter after you get married. With the dolls around, no one dares to bully you. I haven't lived for a few years. There are many children in the family. It is too wronged for you to guard the children for the rest of your life."

The aunt put down the needlework in her hand and said, "Father, no matter where you marry, it's better to stay at home. I'm in my thirties, and I've thought about getting married long ago. I can take care of the children at home and talk to my father." Speak, life like this is better than getting married, I don't want to get married again."

"It's fine if you like it, I don't force you, they are all hard-working children." The old man said: "You can't talk about the things about the dolls at home. It's good for your family to know. As an aunt, if you have some trivial matters, you have to watch them." You are the only woman in the family, and you have a lot of things to do. The dolls are the young master’s life. Ah Niu is better. Ah Pin can’t even wear clothes. No, you can’t write well, as long as your brain is alive, you can take more responsibility, if you have any grievances, you can speak up, and Ah Niu will deal with him.”

Tang Pin narrowed his eyes and glared at A Niu angrily, you want to punish me?

Ah Niu looks at the sky, there is no way to explain this injustice, you can't argue with the old man.

The aunt laughed and said: "Pin is not as bad as dad said, I am not wronged at all, it is my blessing to be able to live at home, no one else can ask for it, and Apin never troubles me, cooking Ah Pin is cooking, I have never seen that young man know how to cook."

"That's all right." The old man said no, but he was actually very proud of himself.

Tang Pin stuffed the half-eaten sweet potatoes to A Niu and said, "Grandpa, let's talk about growing food next year. Auntie can do whatever she wants at home, and she doesn't have to take care of the children. A Cai and A Niu Shu sent to school, Ah Hua is very good, she can follow Grandpa, I can cook, and Auntie has her own things to do."

"Is there anything to do?" asked the old man.

"To treat diseases, there are many women in ten miles and eight villages, but they never go to a doctor when they are sick. My aunt is also interested in these things. I want my aunt to learn some pathology. In the future, women can come to my aunt for any problems and have children. There are always many people who can’t tell the doctor about the things that need to be paid attention to during confinement.”

"Is this to be a stable woman?" the old man said.

Tang Pin shook his head: "Unlike Mrs. Wen, my aunt can become a female doctor, and she has to learn about women's diseases, but Mrs. Wen doesn't understand medical principles and only uses earthwork. This can kill many people."

The old man said to his aunt: "Don't thank the baby yet. This is a great thing. If the baby dares to teach, you should learn with your heart. No matter where you are in the future, if you have a skill, you will never die of hunger."

Aunt ran over with A Hua in her arms and said, "Thank you, Aunt. I can't repay this kindness in this life."

Tang Pin pulled her aunt up and said, "You are my aunt, so the whole family should not say these things. It takes hard work to learn something. It's not that I want to teach, so I will definitely be able to learn it."

Auntie said: "Auntie understands that the paper you showed Auntie last time was tested on a woman, and the effect is very good. It is very precious medical knowledge, and ordinary people will not teach it lightly."

Tang Pin laughed and said: "These are simple things. If someone asks, Auntie will tell them generously. It's good to know all of them. It will save a lot of wrong ways to kill people."

"You have a good heart. You are a god, and my aunt is still a mortal. I always feel that this knowledge is too precious and should be hidden. Even if my aunt learns it by herself, she feels that the knowledge of the gods is polluted. When you said that today, my aunt thought, To study medicine is to save people, to hide is to harm people.”

Tang Pin sighed and said, "Why don't you ask A Niu to write more copies and send them to the officials? My aunt alone still can't take care of ten miles and eight villages, and there are strangers outside. The knowledge here is not enough. If If we hide again, we will die."

A Niu patted Tang Pin on the head and said: "You think too much, the official has already sent it to you, and my aunt is still studying, so it's not like she's going to die, you know this, and it's not likely that any woman will Let you see a doctor."

Tang Pin waved A Niu's hand away and said, "Don't beat your head, you will become stupid."

A Niu couldn't help laughing and said, "It's better to be stupid, it's happier to be stupid."

The old man stood up and said, "I'm going to ask the villagers to come over. Everyone should listen to the matter of growing grain, otherwise we won't be able to grow grain next year."

The aunt gave the old man some clothes and said, "Father, walk carefully."

Tang Pin murmured: "When it's snowing, you always run outside. You don't need to call people like that."

A Niu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you have a method?"

Tang Pinpa whispered in A Niu's ear for a long time, A Niu nodded in understanding, it's actually very simple, make some little Ling, hang one in every house, and connect them with a rope, if someone is looking for someone, just pull the rope, The house of the whole village will be ringing. Copper and iron are more expensive than gold in this era. A Niu said: "What should I use to make Xiaoling?"

Tang Pin pointed to the bamboo in the house and said: "Take off a section of the bamboo, make a hole in the section, and tie a small stone. It will always make a sound."

A Niu pulled Tang Pin's hands and rubbed them to warm them up. Tang Pin's hands and feet are cold in winter, and there are no thick clothes to wear here. Looking at his thin body makes people feel distressed. Do it, don’t go out if you can’t, I will find a way to get more clothes, it’s not really cold yet, when the snow covers the mountains, I can only stay in the house, sometimes for a few days, sometimes I need one Many months, I'm afraid you will freeze to death."

Tang Pin said indifferently: "I'm not that weak, Ah Hua is not afraid, we have food, a house, and a fire to keep warm, and you are here at night, so it's not cold at all."

The author has something to say:

☆, improve heating

The old man called the villagers. Everyone sat around the fire and listened carefully to what Tang Pin had to say. There were some children who had just learned to write a few words, and some of them took a pen and paper to write it down. This was also taught by Tang Pin. A Cai and A Shu were called by the old man to listen. Growing food is a big deal, nothing is more important than food.

After talking all afternoon, Ah Niu stood up and said, "Let's talk about the rest tomorrow. Let's go back to eat first."

In fact, the villagers don't want to eat at all, because the food can't be grown well, and the food that comes here is eaten, but A Niu spoke up, and the villagers still stood up, thanked each other and left. Come cook, you are tired too, take a rest first."

A Niu pulled people into the room, stuffed Tang Pin into the quilt and said: "Sleep for a while, and wake you up at dinner time."

Tang Pin was lying on the bed, also a little sleepy, fell asleep after a while, A Niu took off his coat, and lay on the bed too, Tang Pin rolled over in fear of the cold, curled up into a ball, and nestled in A Niu's arms Sleep soundly.

More than ten days later, it was almost the Chinese New Year. The old man commanded the strong men in the village to kill the pigs. The wild pigs grew very fast under the feeding of the whole village. The two pigs together weighed about [-] catties. Surrounded by them, the brawny men were happy to kill them. It is a happy year to kill a little piglet during the Chinese New Year. Now there are two big wild boars, and there are more than a dozen wild boars in the pigsty.

The pig’s blood and pig’s offal were boiled in several pots, and the pork was divided equally among each family. After the pigs were slaughtered, the big guys gathered together to eat the pig’s offal. The pig’s blood and offal were stewed in a pot together with sauerkraut. They were drooling and queued up with their bowls Waiting, the smell wafted far away, Mr. Guan was invited over, first he gave Mr. Guan a bowl of sauerkraut and pig offal, Mr. Guan scalded his mouth, and ate it all up. He had never eaten such a delicacy. A layer of lard, a bowl, that's cool.

The villagers held a big bowl of sauerkraut and pig offal, and they were reluctant to eat it. They were all eating the rice porridge in front of them. After eating a few mouthfuls of sauerkraut and a piece of pig offal, the old man pushed the bowl to his aunt, who asked her to feed it to the children. , Ah Hua yelled at each other, and secretly gave her share to the old man. After taking two bites, Ah Cai put down his chopsticks, and was slapped by the old man, "How thin are you? You still don't eat well. Wait a minute." It's so hard when you grow up."

Ah Shu, who was about to put down his chopsticks, paused for a moment, turned the chopsticks, and put all the pork offal into his mother's bowl. With a little sauerkraut and soup, he ate three big bowls of porridge in one go. Tang Pin fed the pork liver to the mother. The kid, the pig intestines were given to A Niu, and after eating lively, the big guys gathered around and chatted, and the kid played around with the candy given by the official in his mouth.

There was oil in his stomach, so he spoke loudly. Tang Pin sat and listened. Under the leadership of his aunt, the women didn't know what to talk about. The old man had a smile on his face, and the new villagers were still licking their fingers Oil and water, the sauerkraut and pig offal in the bowl haven't been touched much.

The old man suddenly said: "Our village has eaten pork this year, but there are still many villagers who have never even seen pork. There are always many poor people. There are twelve wild boars in our village, eating pork in a bowl. I always feel that I will be punished by God, and the officials are here. I would like to propose that our village give up two pigs and bring them back to the officials. During the Chinese New Year, the really poor families will share some pork and offal. , I'm not at ease."

The villagers all nodded. This man was eating meat, but his heart was uneasy. This is a person who is really poor. He always felt that he would offend God. The official stood up and saluted the villagers. He thanked the villagers again. When the official left, he pulled Seeing the two wild boars, the old man felt at ease. Tang Pin whispered at the side: "Keep one boar, kill the others, and keep the sows to give birth."

The old man slapped over and said, "Prodigal son, this meat is still in your mouth, and you want to kill a pig, what a crime."

Tang Pin was speechless. The pigs were not killed for food, but what to do with them. I couldn't tell them. Tang Pin went to find his aunt, a large group of women, and when they saw Tang Pin coming, they kindly moved aside. Tang Pin Pin always has an illusion, is this seeing me as a woman?

To get rid of this strange idea, my aunt pulled a piece of worn clothes on the mat for Tang Pin to sit on. The women are very welcome to Tang Pin. Many delicious meals are made by Tang Pin. Some women asked: "What do you have for the Chinese New Year?" Do you want to eat novelty?"

"Yes, we have rice and can make a lot of pastries. If you are free tomorrow, come and have a look. For the Chinese New Year, there are sweet pastries to eat, which is also a bit more festive."

The woman said: "Your aunt said that you are too thin, don't be too tired, do one thing first, the winter is still long, I can't exhaust you."

"Our cooking skills are always inferior to yours. We really want to go and cook for you. Mr. is a scholar and has a lot of skills. He is always cooking. Let other people know about it. Don't laugh at our wealth Village." The woman said: "Your aunt just came here not long ago, and she has a lot to learn, and now I heard that she is studying medicine and treating women. This has been passed down from generation to generation, and no man would think of this. Your aunt is also literate. The village chief The people brought back are always better than us, and the village can’t just wait for you to give us benefits. Let me see, the village also uses a lot of girls. You can choose a few to take home, just give them stuttering, and let them take care of you on weekdays , is also their blessing."

Tang Pin's smile froze, and A Niu came over abruptly. In fact, he had been listening to him early in the morning, and he couldn't agree to this. There are too many people talking, and I don't want too many words that shouldn't be spread."

The woman nodded shyly and said: "I didn't think about it. The village chief said that many things in the village cannot be revealed. We are blessed to live here, so we shouldn't talk too much."

Tang Pin pulled the corner of A Niu's clothes and said, "Don't be so fierce, it's all good intentions to help."

A Niu said: "I will take care of Tang Pin's life. My aunt takes care of the house and takes care of the children. She usually learns some medical science. Grandpa is still in good health. The family has enough staff. If you want it, you are a man. At home, grandpa farms the land and supplies food. It's not enough to eat."

The woman lowered her head and said: "The village chief's family doesn't need to farm, we women can grow vegetables, and the food is grown by the men in the village. Three adults and three children can't eat much. A little from each family is enough for the village chief. The family eats for a year, and it is a blessing for the village to teach the children to read, and the husband should not farm the land."

A Niu nodded in satisfaction, and dragged Tang Pin home. Tang Pin was very dissatisfied, his coat was taken off and stuffed under the quilt, Tang Pin said angrily, "I don't want to sleep."

A Niu stroked his head and said, "Hey, take a nap."

"I'm not a child, I don't need to take a nap, now I'm going to make pastries." Tang Pin protested.

"We'll talk about the pastry tomorrow, and there's no rush if it's a day later." A Niu covered the quilt tightly.

"Cakes are made for sale. During the Chinese New Year, they should be able to sell a little when they are taken out. We can't wait for this." Tang Pin got up to get out of bed.

"It's not short of your little money, go to bed first." A Niu pushed the man back, went to bed himself, pressed Tang Pinxu under him, and coaxed: "The pork is not finished yet, the villagers still have a lot of things to do." I have to do it, I don’t have time to learn how to make pastries.”

Tang Pin pushed A Niu away, rolled into the corner of the bed with the quilt in his arms, and turned his back to A Niu. Here, Tang Pin is not allowed to do many things. He sleeps after eating every day. He is raising pigs, if he can do it well He might not even be allowed to enter the kitchen for the food, and he would be angry if he thought about it. If in later generations, everyone lived affluently, Tang Pin would not have worked so hard to find a way.

A Niu hugged him from behind, Tang Pin fell asleep out of breath due to the fiery body temperature. He slept for the whole afternoon. In Tang Pin's arms, he raised his face and said, "Brother, can you play with me?"

Tang Pin hugged Ah Hua out of bed and ignored Ah Niu. He was still angry. There was nothing to play with children here. Tang Pin mixed some dough and accompanied Ah Hua to knead all kinds of dough. For small animals, use vegetable juice to color them, and the dough is a bit too much. Tang Pin thought that there were meat and dried vegetables, so he simply made dumplings. It is best to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

The whole family gathers together and rolls up their sleeves to make dumplings. Tang Pin can make many different kinds of dumplings. My aunt is very skillful and can learn quickly. Ah Hua is still making rabbits, and A Cai and A Shu are making dumplings for a long time. Not a good dumpling, the dumplings made by Ah Niu fell apart before they were put into the pot, but the old man's dumplings were not bad, and he still has a little bit of skill in making rice for a lifetime.

There were a few large plates of hot dumplings, all of which were big dumplings. A Cai and A Shu ate about twenty of them. If it wasn’t for fear that they would be too full to eat, they would probably be able to eat about thirty of them. Ah Niu ate them all in one go. There were thirty or so, and the old man ate ten or so. He smiled and distributed the dumplings to the children, and my aunt drank the soup and ate the dumpling wrappers that had fallen apart.

Tang Pin grabbed the aunt's bowl and said: "If you don't have enough to eat, make dumplings. What's so delicious about the dumpling wrappers? You have to eat them whole. There is still some food in the house. If my aunt doesn't eat it, the children don't dare to eat it."

The old man also said: "It's all a family. You are the woman of the family. We can still wrong you. Eat boldly. I will eat less, old man. You need to take care of this house. Don't eat. No strength to work."

Auntie nodded with red eyes, put a dumpling in her mouth, and was reluctant to swallow it for a long time.

A Niu took out a pile of high-quality fabrics from the room and said: "These fabrics are used to make clothes, each person can make two sets, and the extra aunt can handle it."

My aunt took the fabric, held it in her hands and touched it again and again. I have never seen such a good fabric in my life. It feels very good to the touch. My aunt didn't care about eating dumplings. She went into the house with the fabric to find a needle and thread. Make the clothes beforehand.

The old man put down the bowl and said: "What kind of clothes do you make for the old man? The doll has no clothes to wear, and the quilt is not warm enough. Make a few more sets for the doll. The hands are red from the cold all day long. The linen material has worn the doll's skin. Grandpa I'm old, what to do with such nice clothes, it's a waste."

Tang Pin whispered: "Grandpa, I'm not too cold."

The old man raised his voice and said: "Can you not be cold? You have suffered so much in Fugui Village. If you are not cold, you will stay by the fire all day and dare not move. Grandpa is not confused. You are a prodigal, baby, but He is also a good boy, and dare not speak out when he suffers.”

Tang Pin really wanted to shout, I'm not that weak.

When sleeping at night, Tang Pin was pleasantly surprised to find that there was an extra tiger skin on the bed. This tiger must be very big, the fur was shiny, it was the fur on the head, and it was very warm to cover his body. Tang Pin shrunk himself into a ball and let out The position was given to A Niu, Tang Pin touched the tiger's skin and said, "Grandpa, do they have it?"

A Niu nodded and said, "It's not tiger skin, but it's still very warm."

Tang Pin raised his head and said: "Tomorrow, I will find something to do. If I eat and sleep like this, I will become fat sooner or later."

A Niu squeezed Tang Pin's waist amusedly, Tang Pin smiled and avoided it ticklishly, the cold wind ran in, Tang Pin rolled back into A Niu's arms, A Niu said: "I'm afraid you won't be fat, you don't have any fat on your body." Meat, as thin as a bone."

Tang Pin said: "This is my muscle. It's strong. I don't know when the blacksmith will come."

A Niu squeezed Tang Pin's flesh and said, "What do you want the blacksmith to do?"

"There is always smoke when there is a fire in the house, I want the blacksmith to make something that can produce smoke, and a set of iron tools is needed for farming cattle." Tang Pin said: "If it gets colder, the room will not be warm, so make a fire in the living room It doesn’t work, but with iron pipes, it can reach every room, and it can also boil hot water, which can save a lot of firewood.”

"What do you want to make?" A Niu said, "I've never heard of such iron objects."

"You still have to draw the blueprints, so I can only tell you." Tang Pin said, "This is an ironware that only exists in my hometown. It's normal for you not to know."

A Niu pulled up the quilt and said: "Go to sleep, get up tomorrow and draw a picture, two of the new villagers are former blacksmiths, draw a good picture for them to see, if it works, let the adults get a set back, Try it first to see the effect."

"Yeah." Tang Pin yawned and buried his head in A Niu's arms and said in a muffled voice, "I'm going to make me want to go to bed tomorrow morning."

A Niu hugged Tang Pin tightly, don't think about it, Tang Pin will definitely not be woken up tomorrow, wishing he could sleep all day.

Drawing blueprints is not easy. Tang Pin drew a few circles. Ah Niu looked at them with a headache for a long time but couldn't understand them. After the two pictures were drawn, the blacksmith had been waiting for a long time and listened to Tang Pin's words. Before receiving the blueprints, the blacksmith said: "This is feasible, and it will be a good ironware when it is made."

Tang Pin said with bright eyes: "Is it still possible to sell it?"

A Niu laughed and said, "You little profiteer, you just want to make money before you do this."

"It's always an invention, I have to ask the official to give me some invention money." Tang Pin said.

"Let them send blueprints to the official, and make a set by the way. If it is feasible, let the official do the work for the villagers, which is also an income." A Niu said: "What invention money is not paid, It’s still possible to send a set of ironware.”

The old man stood up suddenly, and shouted to the door: "Get ready for the ox cart, and send the blueprint to the official."

The blacksmith left with the drawings, and the old man followed. My aunt called several women and went into the kitchen to learn how to make dumplings. Tang Pin was stuffed under the quilt by A Niu to take a nap, and A Niu wrote and drew on the table. Tang Pin is a little used to taking a nap now, and only sleeps for an hour. If Ah Niu didn't wake him up, Tang Pin would fight Ah Niu desperately.

The author has something to say:

☆、No matter how poor the era is, there are rich people

After taking a nap, A Niu was still writing and drawing seriously. Tang Pin didn't bother A Niu, and wandered into the kitchen by himself. Aunts and women were still making dumplings. Tang Pin thought about teaching them how to make pastries now.

Grinding the rice into flour was taken away by the women. My aunt moved a chair in, and Tang Pin sat and directed, and sometimes I did it myself. Ah Hua ran in drooling, and the old man came back at this time, covered in snow, bathed and changed clothes, drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup, and saw Ah Hua come out holding a pastry, the little girl must let grandpa bite One bite, the old man took a small bite, sweet and soft.

The women took a sip and ran back home. The kitchen was tidied up and the dumplings could not be finished in three days. Fortunately, it is cold now, and they can be frozen as hard as stones, so they are not afraid of spoiling. Lose.

The next day, before dawn, Tang Pin was woken up. When he got up, A Niu had already gone to practice. The voice came from the kitchen. Tang Pin got dressed and went to look, and saw his aunt in the basket. It was full of dumplings and pastries, Tang Pin asked curiously: "Auntie is going to visit relatives?"

The aunt smiled and said, "No, I went to the town to sell the dumplings and pastries today, and I couldn't finish them at home, so it's a pity to waste them."

Tang Pin sighed: "What money can I sell this for? It won't spoil at home. I still have to eat it during the Chinese New Year. If it's sold out, what will I eat for the New Year?"

"It's just to make it again during the Chinese New Year. I tried to make it last night, and the taste is not bad." Auntie covered the basket and was about to go out.

Tang Pin stopped her and said, "It's still snowing outside, and the road is very slippery. Auntie won't be afraid of falling if she walks for two hours like this."

"Don't worry, all the women in the village will go. The ox carts in the village will come back in the evening. The food is ready and put in a pot, and you can eat it after heating it up." Auntie said: "At noon, girls from the village will come to cook , the children will be obedient and write."

Tang Pin saw that he couldn't stop him, so he went out with his aunt. Sure enough, a group of women had been waiting, and his aunt got on the cattle driveway: "Go back quickly, don't be cold, and ask the villagers to help you if you have anything to do."

Waving to his aunt, Tang Pin returned to the house, and Ah Niu also came back at this time, Ah Huarou just got up with his eyes closed, threw himself into Tang Pin's arms and whispered: "Today I have to listen to my brother."

Tang Pin went to get breakfast, freshly steamed steamed buns, dumpling soup, rice porridge, a small plate of green vegetables, only finger-length green vegetables are grown in the house, a little yellow, eat a bite in winter, They can all be gods, and the only greens that can be eaten are these green vegetables.

In the evening, when my aunt and the others came back, a group of women came into the house talking and laughing. One could tell from the smiles on their faces that all the things they brought today were sold out. Sure enough, my aunt showed them the empty basket and said: "The sales are very good today. A big family asked us to cook dumplings and steamed pastries. After they tasted it, they all said it was delicious. Let us make more tomorrow and send it directly to their homes."

The women kept all the copper coins they sold today, and the old man gave them back to the big guys with a smile. The money was earned by everyone, so no matter what, they couldn't accept it.

The aunt looked at the food on the table and said, "Next time when I come back to cook, don't touch the cold water."

The aunt hugged the children and kissed each one, and brought back candy, and gave all the money to the old man, who pushed the money back and said: "You are taking care of the house, and you will keep the money. If you want to buy something I can earn some copper coins when I pick up and drop off children at school. I sell sesame seed cakes and noodles in the village, and I share some of them. The official said that salt was found in the village, and he also gave the villagers money. After this year, I also saved money. I bought a little copper coins, and the family didn’t spend much. They had everything to eat and drink. A Niu sometimes went hunting to exchange for some copper coins. If he saw something he liked in the town, he would buy some and the family’s money would be handed over to you. Take care."

Auntie put away the copper coins, her eyes were red again, she went into the kitchen silently to clean up the dumplings and cakes to be sold tomorrow, Tang Pin wanted to go in, but was kicked out, Tang Pin said loudly at the kitchen door: "Dumplings Just wrap it well, don’t need to cook it, it’s cold and hard to stone, they buy it and boil it in hot water and eat it, it’ll be fresher.”

The aunt stretched out her head and said, "Should I steam the buns first?"

"Yes, the buns need to be steamed before selling them. I can also make other buns, so many people will buy them." Tang Pin enthusiastically sold them.

The aunt thought for a while before letting Tang Pin into the kitchen, but she could only speak and not move. Tang Pin was so anxious that he said, "I won't make it, and I can't explain it clearly. How about I make one and try it first?"

The longevity picks of later generations will definitely be very popular here.

I got some red paper. I didn’t have any other red things, so I used red paper for coloring. There are white and fat Shoutiao buns, cute animal buns, and big and strong steamed buns. Tang Pin said: "Buy some oil tomorrow. , I can make some deep-fried ones, and they can be sold.”

The old man looked at the cute and good-looking steamed buns and steamed buns for a long time, holding them in his hands and was reluctant to bite them down. In fact, these should be taught to the men in the village, and women should stay at home, but Tang Pin only teaches women, men If you don't teach, this makes the villagers very puzzled, and Tang Pin said that women can become independent, which is incomprehensible. The old man never needs to understand. Tang Pin said that the old man will not doubt it.

After selling for more than ten days, the sound of sesame seed noodles, steamed buns, and dumpling cakes in Fugui Village spread. My aunt's craftsmanship is the best, and the birthday cakes I made have become the best food for the parents during the Chinese New Year. They are made every day. Not enough to sell, many rich people come to ask for money, the village does not go outside to sell, just sell in the village, those who want it come to buy by themselves, my aunt is even busier, staying in the house all day for her birthday Pick, freshly made birthday picks are placed at the door of the house, the old man is selling them with A Cai and A Shu, and Tang Pin is making vegetables in the house.

Seeing the mother of a large family coming in a carriage, the carriage is as precious as the Rolls-Royce of later generations, Tang Pin rubbed his hands and shouted: "A Niu, move this vegetable out to bask in the sun."

A Niu frowned, Tang Pin didn't care about the sun that came in the snowy day, he insisted on stuffing A Niu with a pot of green vegetables, A Niu went out with the pot in his hands, just when the mother of a rich family got out of the carriage, she looked up and saw Shou Tiao Qingcai beside him said in surprise, "Is this Qingcai?"

The old man stepped forward and said, "I grow them at home. If you don't eat vegetables in winter, you will easily get sick."

The mother of the rich family asked the little girl next to him to quickly take out the money. I bought this pot of green vegetables, all the white, fat and bright red birthday cakes, and the pastries are ready. He almost sold out all the rice at home. If Ah Niu hadn't brought the old man back, he would have lost money.

Tang Pin asked the mother of a rich family to come in and sit in the house, and fiddled with the ironware on the fire. There was no smoke coming out. The whole house was very warm, with boiling hot water, fragrant roasted sweet potatoes, and some fried flour. Snacks, there are a lot of green vegetable pots in the house, yellow and tender, carefully arranged by Tang Pin, at a glance, just like the flower pots in the house, there is vitality when you look at it.

When the big family left, the blacksmith received five orders, and the deposit was considerable. You could tell from seeing the blacksmith's eyes that he was very satisfied with the deposit. For others, I usually eat greasy wild vegetables in summer, but now it has changed into dangling copper coins, ten copper plates in a pot, and the villagers trembled when they took the copper coins. Vegetables are worth ten copper coins. A child who can count counted them, and there are about twenty vegetables in a pot. This is a kind of gold.

Tang Pin asked Ah Niu to put stickers at the entrance of the village, stating the items for sale and purchase. You have to place an order in advance, and you have to pay a certain price to deliver the goods to your door. Otherwise, you have to pick them up yourself. A Niu pasted the paper, Tang Pin rubbed his hands and blew hot air, no matter how poor the era is, there are still many rich people.

A Niu hugged Tang Pin and rubbed his head, tightened his clothes, Tang Pin walked a few steps, almost fell down, was picked up by A Niu, Tang Pin leaned in A Niu's arms, being hugged very naturally.

A good Chinese New Year was broken by Tang Pinzheng’s cakes. Now everyone in the village is busy, and orders are falling like snowflakes now. More than 1000 villagers, big and small, just don’t sleep. I can’t be too busy, and preservation is not a problem in cold weather. The officials and masters drive ox carts to order pastries for the old mother’s birthday during the Chinese New Year. They also need a pot of green vegetables. There is an appetite.

Fried snacks are very popular. Now, as long as it is something from Fugui Village, I am not afraid of not wanting it. Fugui Village’s production is a trademark. I don’t have any preparations for the Chinese New Year. The cow carries the flour in and out, the children have to help, and the old man wants to watch the sale and buy money, so Tang Pin is free, and no one will let him work. He is stuffed into the quilt by A Niu on time every day to take a nap.

Such a pig's day, living a guilty conscience, Tang Pin took the initiative to ask to keep accounts, but was kicked out by the scholars who stayed for the New Year, the handwriting was too ugly, it was a shame to the scholars, and he was determined not to touch these things, Tang Pin had no choice but to touch Touch your nose and leave.

The author has something to say:

☆, raised Tangpin

The school was sorted out, and the old man invited all the idlers from ten miles and eight villages to make pastries together. They were paid every day, and they were idle at home, and they were paid for food. The strong men dragged their wives Hurrying over, my aunt was a little bit closed at this time, and A Niu didn't have to carry the flour anymore.

A Niu pinched Tang Pin's waist and frowned, "Why is there still no flesh growing?"

Tang Pin hummed: "This is very good, otherwise I will become a fat man."

"You are still a long way from a fat man. From tomorrow onwards, you will eat meat instead of steamed buns." A Niu said, "I'll go to the town to buy a few chickens and make soup. It's best to buy ginseng, which needs to be replenished."

Tang Pin said disdainfully: "Ginseng can't be eaten indiscriminately. If a good person eats too much, it should be useless. I have a physical problem. It's useless to supplement it. Maybe too much supplementation will damage the body."

"Can ginseng eat bad people?" A Niu said, "Generally, sick people will get better after eating ginseng."

"They are very weak people. They are all sick from starvation. They can get well without eating ginseng. As long as they eat enough food for a few months, all diseases are gone. Only some serious patients need to supplement ginseng." He kindly preached to A Niu: "If ordinary people eat ginseng every day, they will get many diseases. If they don't eat it, they will get more serious and they will not live long. This is the consequence of eating ginseng indiscriminately."

A Niu's face changed on the spot, Tang Pin thought he had said something wrong, but A Niu immediately got up to write a letter, Tang Pin saw that the letter said not to eat ginseng, Tang Pin didn't understand, there was no one he knew Some of them eat ginseng. After A Niu wrote the letter, he stuffed Tang Pin under the quilt and said, "Sleep."

Tang Pin protested seriously: "I don't want to sleep."

A Niu pressed his hand back to the quilt and said, "Don't make trouble."

"No trouble, don't take a nap, go to help." Tang Pin said angrily: "Everyone is busy, why am I just idle and fell asleep? It's so unfair."

A Niu said softly: "Too thin, I can't do much work. There are too many people in the village, and you are prone to accidents if you wander around. Get some sleep, and I'll be back soon when I go to town."

Tang Pin got up from the bed and said, "I'm going too."

"A Niu said firmly: "No. "

"Why?" Tang Pin was furious, he was not even allowed to go out, was he still free.

A Niu said in a deep voice: "Do you know how many people outside are trying to arrest you now? Even some people with malicious intentions have mixed into the village. Now the villagers have to strictly investigate those who enter the village. Unknown people are not allowed to enter, all buyers and sellers are moved to the school, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the village at a step, this is all to protect you."

Tang Pin was surprised: "Someone wants to arrest me?"

A Niu nodded: "Your talent is what people want, no matter how tight it is, there is no impenetrable wall, your story is still spread outside, people from all walks of life are eyeing you, and the officials are strict at the gate of the city. Interrogation, suspicious people are not allowed to enter, but still can't prevent those people."

Tang Pin said nervously: "Then don't go out, everyone in the village is an acquaintance, so it's easy to guard against."

A Niu said with a smile: "I can protect myself, the main thing is you. If you are arrested, everyone in Fugui Village will cry to death. Be good, sleep well, don't think about anything else, let me handle it."

Tang Pin didn't dare to protest, he lay back obediently, thought for a while and said: "Buy a few more chickens, I want to eat roast chicken, white-cut chicken, hand-spread chicken, beggar chicken."

A Niu coaxed the child and said: "Okay, I still need to buy candy."

When Tang Pin fell asleep, A Niu tightened the quilt and called her aunt to sit aside and watch,
