[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

Jiao Da, who felt that good fortune had come, rushed to Ningguo Mansion again to thank him, and the excited Jiao Dazhu family didn't have the time to entertain their brothers at the moment, and looked out the door eagerly, making them look like Wangfushi , Waiting for Jiao Da to bring back good news.Seeing this scene, Jiao Yufeng greeted his son with a wink, and hurriedly helped clean up the house, while he went out to buy something.

He's not stupid, just judging by everyone Jiao's happy appearance now, he knows that the identity of this teacher must be very respectable among these servants.And with this dignity, I'm afraid there will be many people who come to congratulate Jiao Da when he comes back.Those who are close may stay for dinner or something.As a result, this home. . .When they came, this Jiao Lin family was just about to go out to buy groceries, so he was unprepared, if someone came to the door, wouldn't it be a neglect?It is impossible to say that there is no envy and jealousy, but there is no need to make excuses to offend people because of this.

Jiao Yufeng didn't spend a lot of money to go in and out like this, but the huge basket was full of vegetables and meat, and there was a pot of wine. Once he brought it in, he immediately woke up Jiao Dazhu and his wife, who lived in this neighborhood all year round. Even if he is stupid, this idea of ​​human nature is not unexpected. It was just a surprise that came too suddenly, and he was a little at a loss. Now that Jiao Yufeng reminded him like this, there is nothing he can't figure out.

Jiao Lin took the things and hurried to the kitchen, at the same time began to talk about her man,

"You too, look, you're not as quick-witted as the second brother, hurry up, make tea, and let the second brother rest, you don't come here often, and you must have gone a lot of wrong ways to find places to buy. Dabao, bring Brother, go to the house to play, people will come later, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you."

She hadn't finished speaking here, and sure enough, a few neighbors came over after hearing the news, and began to ask around Jiao Dazhu. The bustling thing was that Jiao Yufeng was so busy serving tea and moving stools that he was sweating all over.

This day was definitely busy, so busy that Jiao Yufeng and his son didn't even have time to go home, so they could only make do with Jiao's family overnight, which shows how many people came and went around this day.Anyway, half a catty of tea was used up, that's for sure.But this is nothing, compared with Jiao Da's harvest, this can only be a small amount of money, after all, this is the cheapest tea, twenty yuan can buy a pack, but Jiao Da, this time got such a position as a teacher. . .Just for the high-level red envelopes, three were given, adding up to a total of 40 taels, and this was the case without counting the monthly rewards later, which shows that Jiao Da sent a lot this time.

What made Jiao Da even more happy was that the money came at such a good time. Just when he wanted to buy land, he came here for such a sum, which directly pushed his land purchase plan up several steps.Look, under the lights, when I was talking about buying land with my nephew, the hand pushing the money was quite proud.

"You take all this money, the total is 115 taels. Use the 100 taels to buy 50 mu. Don't build a house for the rest. It will cost you to hire people to open up wasteland. If you have any surplus, you can just subsidize it. Here you are. Wait until this matter is over, and I’ll make it up again, save a few months’ monthly profits or something, and I’ll be able to get together the money to build three houses.”

Hey, even the money for hiring someone?Is this a big effort to lighten one's own burden, and let oneself be a good person?He can find money-making jobs for those poor people in the village right next to their homes, and he will be a decent person wherever he goes. This uncle is really very particular.It's just that if this is the case, then I seem to have something to say.

"Gifts also cost money. Uncle, why don't you keep ten taels? Ask someone to cut down trees and open up land. They are all from the village, so it doesn't cost much. Reserve more rice and distribute it to each family. improvise."

"No, they are all old neighbors, and they still do such heavy work. You can't lose them. You don't have to worry about me, haven't you seen? No one here is empty-handed today, let alone, the muslin at home There are already four more horses, and the whole family does not need to buy them for a year. These are all ordinary people on the sidelines. What about tomorrow? Those housekeepers who look like wealthy landowners are in charge, and it is time to give gifts for food and drink. Not to mention how much expenses can be saved, it is estimated that when the time comes to sell those that are not needed, it will cost more than 20 taels, or even just silver... Hehe, these people have always been loose in their hands and like to pay attention to style, I guess At that time, the gift will not be small, enough for my expenses of walking around outside. By the way, when you leave tomorrow, take a horse with you, just to make a suit for you, so that you can feel happy."

Look, sure enough, none of the Duke's mansions can live to such a great age, how detailed is the calculation?Make the best use of things and make the best use of people's talents.It's just that since it's useless, Jiao Yufeng felt more and more embarrassed to give him the benefit of a piece of cloth instead.Owing favors or something, although it is said that this is an uncle, dear, I am not hesitant, but after all he is not the original body, so it is natural that he can't accept it, what should be given back should be done, right?So, Jiao Yufeng, who was running his brain cells rapidly, gave Jiao Da another idea.

"If this is the case, uncle, you might as well say a few more good words. If there are people in our village who are willing to be open-minded, let's talk about it together, and let's take care of the tax exemption and so on. This will make the village People who live here can also benefit. If you can collect some half-worn muslin clothes, thick quilts and so on from around, and I will bring more rice back, I count, our land reclamation wages are not only for food , basically you don’t need to give anything else. In this way, apart from the money saved, it should be enough to buy a homestead and prepare some wood, bricks and tiles. If you wait to open up wasteland, you will have another twelve Up and down, the yard can basically rise, what do you think?"

"Hey, don't talk about it, this is really a way. Wait, let me think about it. By the way, it seems to be able to make money. We have a lot of people in the house, even if it is [-]% of the people. There are definitely a lot of them. For those who don’t know how to be frugal, most of them were given to poor relatives in the past, and it would be embarrassing to put them in pawnshops. Now...you get some wooden hairpins, wooden boxes, etc., and come here , or even flowers and plants, as long as they look good, they can definitely be exchanged. In this way, not to mention being used as wages, you should work hard and go to the countryside for a while, I am afraid that you can exchange a lot of things. For example, eggs and the like, if these things are delivered to the city, they will be paid. In this way, you go back tomorrow morning, gather them up, and see how much you want, and tomorrow I will ask your sister-in-law to say hello and let them keep it. "

Obviously he wanted to help out with ideas, but if he didn't pay attention, Jiao Da became his business again. This uncle is good, and Jiao Yufeng really moved him.He couldn't help but secretly decided that he would do this, but he would also build that house, at worst, he would use the money he copied from his own house first, and when it was built, he would say that he was filial with the money he earned with this method. No problem at all.The old man in the province is full of thoughts about his hard life and helping save trouble.

Having made a decision, Jiao Yufeng didn't shirk immediately, he nodded at whatever Jiao Da said, even when he was about to go back early the next morning, Jiao Da kept stuffing things into his ox cart, and he didn't say a word To be polite, I just asked Jiao Da to send him a letter as soon as I got the confirmed news.

At the same time, Jiao Yufeng, who was quick and quick-witted, took advantage of the time when he was going home, and bought a lot of meat and bones, a large amount of food and other things at a low price under the name of Jiao Da, taking advantage of the fact that the old Jia's house was full of people and shops. , Oh, by the way, there are also some low-quality ironware. . .Let's not talk about how to use it. Anyway, Jiao Yufeng's mind at this moment is to finalize the house as soon as he goes back, so as not to be short of manpower when the land reclamation work comes out.

"Father, are we in time?"

Jiao Shibo had been a good boy for more than a day, and now he couldn't bear it anymore, and secretly began to ask his father's plans.He always felt that the matter of building a house in his family would be delayed for several months due to the interruption of land reclamation.

But I don't want to just ask such a sentence, and I got a chestnut from his father,

"How come it's too late, with your brain, could it be that this ancient yamen handles things, and there is an online process, the office hall? Let's see, even if it is agreed, the time from the paperwork to the measurement will not be short, wait. I think it will take half a month to finalize that we can open up wasteland and buy land. In this way, let's hurry up and the house will be built."

It’s true to say that, Jiao Da invites people to drink, it may take three to five days to be a lobbyist, and it will take another three to five days to wait for this person to make a deal in turn. Yes, I invited someone to check the place, and it took another three to five days, and the small official measured another three to five days. After these three to five days, half a month is fast.

Although Jiao Shibo was quite dissatisfied with the efficiency of handling things, it also gave them a lot of time to save money, which is acceptable.only. . .

"Then what about changing clothes? Let's do it too? Isn't this becoming a merchant? It won't become a merchant. These days, merchants... don't grow too big. It's easy to be despised."

"It's okay, it's all a small matter. Our family still has land, so it's not a business. On the other hand, it seems more reasonable to do this and let us save money. After all, it's a business to earn Everyone knows about money, right? Oh, by the way, son, those low-quality ironware, after you go back, you can use that page to refine them again, and work with the wood to see if you can make bows/arrows or something, again Well, we can still go hunting in the mountains. Although we don’t have any big things in the back mountains, there seem to be a lot of rabbits, pheasants, and even deer and goats. People are paying attention, even if you sell it for money, it can be regarded as a good income.”

"This, it should be ok. Hey, dad, you said if we buy more of these cheap iron tools, what kind of hatchets, hoes, etc. can we make, and sell them to the people in the village at a low price? This will not only make people around The people who are here also benefit, seeing how we are doing well, is there any sign of more money?"

"Boy, you are so stupid to be a father, you can't even think of this? But don't forget, what kind of dynasty is this, the ancient times, the cold weapon era, the era when every blacksmith had to be in the yamen, you bought so many iron products, Don’t you think it’s too eye-catching? With this skill, it’s better to search around, is there any iron ore that is more real, although this is not reliable.”

"Oh, what if we go around and collect discarded iron guys?"

"Ironware is precious to ordinary people these days. Who doesn't know that it can be repaired or replaced if it is broken? Can it be sold to us? It's okay if the same thing is different. It's easy to say, but if you charge too much, who knows if it will let you buy it?" People are watching, thinking we are building weapons to rebel? Stop looking for trouble."

Don't say it, don't think it, the father and son talked all the way back and found out that it is really not an ordinary trouble to make great strides to improve the quality of life these days.If they want to start from scratch, they still start with golden fingers like this, and there are not so many constraints.I don't know how in those novels, the person who makes a bunch of weapons at every turn escapes the eyes of the people.

"Remember, let's not talk about the land reclamation when we go home, um, let's leave a little shadow, it doesn't seem good if we don't talk about it at all, after all, if this is done quickly, someone should come to see the place in ten days or so. Sometimes I thought it would be good for us to keep it secret. I just said... I just said that I was trying to find a way. In this way, they can be more efficient when we start the house."

"Oh, I see, Dad, Dad, why did you buy so many bones?"

"Help, send gifts."

"Huh? Five cents a catty of bones as a gift? Do you need to pick like this?"

"Why, it can't be done. In my memory, this is already a very good gift. People around me will die of joy when they receive this. Ordinarily, who is free to spend the money to go to the city to buy this? If you get together , son, alas, not everyone has the ability to buy so much in the city at once, it’s disgusting. Remember son, those who don’t have a status, who can’t tell the history, buy anything more, will be punished by others in this era Inquiry, this is class. It is the means for the Yamen to prevent all kinds of bandits from rebelling."

Hearing these words, Jiao Shibo felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He was very cute and dumbfounded. He couldn't help but think for a moment, if his father failed to inherit the memory when they came, how many jokes would they have made?Hehe, when I think about it this way, the pigs' feet, who immediately became prosperous as soon as they crossed, are also cold.

"Don't think about it, hurry up, take advantage of the fact that there are no people on the road, look at the trees around here, if there are any useful ones, hurry up and get them in your page, get those low-quality irons, get them as soon as possible Come out, maybe tomorrow we can get some meat to eat."

Meat?After saying this, Jiao Shibo's mouth couldn't help but began to salivate rapidly.What about shopping, what about changing ironware, all put it in the back of my mind, nothing is as important as eating meat.After all these days, because of collecting money, because of the house, because of this and that, the father and son are about to turn into rabbits, and if they don't get any meat, Jiao Shibo feels that his eyes are about to glow green.

"Father, look at the stones too. I heard that reddish and blackened stones are ores. If there are some around here, we can make big knives, guns, and animal traps..."

"Stop thinking about it, pretend that others don't have eyes, and hurry up and do something real."

I have to be trained again, and it's really meaty or something, the temptation is too great, and I'm too excited.
