The story of Princess Lenggong's farming

Chapter 222
"You're back? Brother Dabao..." The children at the entrance of the village looked at the beautiful and luxurious carriage driven by Dabao, feeling envious and admiring.

Dabao was dressed in silk, greeted them with a smile, and said, "Yes, how are you busy?!"

Seeing Dabao return to Zhong's house with his servant's carriage, these people sighed: "The Zhong family has really made a lot of money in the past few years, and they have become rich...Look at this style, this whole body posture, It's even more dignified than the officials in our county town..."

"Don't be envious of her, whoever let her have a little God of Wealth in her family, whoever wants to marry her will reach the sky in one step..."

"Go, go, go..." The man blushed, and said with a smile: "I want to marry, and they have to be willing to marry. I still want to marry, and they may not be able to see me..."

Everyone laughed, and someone sighed: "I don't know what the Zhong family's native girl is thinking... Tell me, she started selling chestnuts when we were all bare buttocks... Let’s follow the trend and sell chestnuts. She went to sell stewed pork and dried it. Later, she made hot pot base, sauerkraut fish base, and screw powder base packs, marinated packs, and what kind of lamb The ingredients for the bone broth came out, hey, the Zhong family really made a lot of money..."

"Yeah, I heard that their caravans have branches in all counties and towns of the Dayu Dynasty, and they even make hot pot bottoms in every town, but I don't know how much their family can earn a month. Money..." the man said anxiously.

"Cut, it's useless to guess, and it's not yours. By the way, is your family planting condiments or Chinese cabbage this year? , but although making sauerkraut is a bit more troublesome, it still makes a little more money. Making seasoning is just to save worry, and it can be sold to the Zhong family after drying..."

"Our family grows all the seasonings. My mother said that we all grow Chinese cabbage. There are not enough people in the family..." The man sighed, "No one used to eat sauerkraut, but now it is sold by Zhong's family. It's from ten miles and eight villages. Every family regards sauerkraut as a sweet pastry, how can their local girls make this ordinary sauerkraut so easy to sell, and sell it so fast, hey..."

"What is this sauerkraut? Their family has already collected it, and their family even got a chopped pepper. The steamed fish with chopped pepper is delicious, and the chopped pepper juice is used to mix preserved eggs. It is really delicious. , in the hot pot building, it is said that such a plate costs more than 100 Wen..."

"So expensive?!" Those people said in surprise.

"Of course," the man said complacently, "I heard from our relatives that he went there once to invite people to dinner. , and the dipping sauce made by their Zhong family is also delicious. I really want to eat it after eating it, but it is very expensive. My relatives can only afford it occasionally. I eat it every day. I have to eat poorly and lose my pants..."

Everyone said greedily: "I have never eaten..."

The man smiled and said: "Don't the Zhong family still sell marinade every day? You spend five cents to go back and marinate sliced ​​meat. Now that the villagers are better off, why don't you want to part with the five cents? Your mother should be willing to do so. Buy some pork offal and pork head meat from their family, it's really delicious..."

Those few sighed: "How can my mother be willing? Although life is better now, everyone is better off, and there is no shortage of money. Now the price of bride price has risen. My mother said to save the money for you." I'm marrying a daughter-in-law, hey, I don't want to eat these tooth-beating sacrifices, my mother is picking..."

Those few people also sighed, how come life is getting better, but the adults in the family are getting more and more stingy, and they have never seen such stinginess before.

"Well, my mother is too..." The man squatted down helplessly, and said, "Their fans are also delicious. Their newly opened fan shop is very busy every day. My father works in it and comes back every day. I’m so tired that I can’t straighten my back. It’s said that I have to dig out a lot of taro every day, and I have to make a lot of vermicelli every day. The vermicelli is sold everywhere with snail powder packets. The price is so expensive. I'm a bit too busy, my dad said that although he was tired, he endured hardships, so it's not bad, the key is the high wages, so my dad couldn't bear to come out..."

"It's recruiting again, and I want to go in to work, can you accept me?!" Another child answered, "I'm 12 years old, can I go in?!"

"No, you have to be at least 16 years old..." The man said helplessly, "Otherwise I still want to go in and work. It costs two taels of silver a month, who wouldn't want to do it?..."

Everyone really wanted to grow up quickly so that they could go in and work, so they all sighed melancholy.

Looking in the direction of Zhong's house, he said again: "Their preserved eggs are also delicious, and the salted duck and three delicacies pot are also delicious, and the roast duck, salted duck, and roast goose are all delicious, and their braised pork is not used. I said... hey..." Smelling the fragrance of the Zhong family's factory wafting through the village every day, so much that they couldn't eat it, it really made them worry, and they were all very melancholy.

"I heard that their salted duck and three delicacies pot is also very expensive in the hot pot restaurant. It seems that the ingredients have just come out. At least one pot costs more than three taels of silver. I don't know how much it sells in the capital, it must be more expensive... "

"It's useless to think about it. Let's grow up and think about it. When we are 16 years old, no matter which workshop we work in, the wages are good. They make preserved eggs and ducks. Sometimes we can bring some back to taste. Well, the Zhong family said it was employee benefits..."

Everyone drooled after hearing this, and said one by one: "I want to go to Roast Duck and Goose..."

"I want to go to the braised meat shop..."

"I also want to go to Roast Duck House..."

One of them pouted and poured cold water: "It's useless for you to think about it. Don't tell me, since you are old, I don't know how many people want to enter Zhong's workshop. You still have to line up for interviews. I heard that it is strict, and you have to ask for an interview." It takes training to get to work..."

Everyone stopped talking for a while, and after a long time, one person said: "I really envy Brother Xiaofuzi and Brother Ergouzi... Brother Ergouzi is now the big shopkeeper of the second shop of Yayaya in the border town, and Brother Xiaofuzi manages the second shop again. How good it is to keep accounts of all these workshops..."

"It's useless to be envious, are you literate? They are all literate..."

"But they haven't gone to school. They were taught by Zhong's family. I heard that the workshop is also literacy. They have to learn Chinese characters for an hour every day. If they pass the test, they will be rewarded. If we go in It’s not too late to learn. Although I can’t reach the level of Brother Ergouzi and the others, it’s good to be a team leader... I heard that the team leader has less work. He is only responsible for supervising piecework every day, and the salary is higher than the average There are more employees, and there are more year-end rewards, which is great..."

"Hey, it's a pity that my mother doesn't want me to go to school, otherwise I can learn more words, and I can help with things in the workshop and become a small leader..."

Everyone thought so, and couldn't help but sigh that my mother's eyelids were too shallow, she only wanted to save money to marry a wife and have children, and she didn't think about reading at all, the money just came.Isn't that the case with the Zhong family, their family now has one school and two talents...

It's probably because they have different visions and see things differently, so they can only work for the Zhong family...

Everyone sighed for a while, these discussions happened every day in the village.

Now almost every household in the village has someone working in Zhong's house, and there are many in other villages, so people in these ten miles and eight townships can earn money just by growing seasonings, Chinese cabbage, and taro. The money earned is not counted as the income from working in the Zhong family, so now almost no one grows grain anymore, but with the Zhong family’s caravan, all you need to do is buy grain at the Zhong family, which is the same as the market price, and sometimes more Some are employee benefits.Everyone's life is good at home. During the Chinese New Year, the Zhong family will give out some New Year's goods or money, so the villages under the city and county here have all become rich...

There is more than one Zhong’s workshop now, and they are divided into one for stewed meat, one for making marinated buns, one for salted duck eggs and preserved eggs, another one for roast duck, salted duck and roast goose, and another for making taro. There is another one for making vermicelli and screw powder, another one for making lamb bone soup, and another one for collecting sauerkraut and making chopped peppers...and another one for making hot pot base. The Zhong family has built seven or eight rooms in the past few years, and it is not the small piece of land they used to be, but a contiguous piece of land, all surrounded by a foreman, and then Xiao Fuzi It's the steward.

Zhong’s caravan and Yayaya restaurant are all managed by Dabao. Now Zhong’s family is no longer the small merchant it used to be. Now hot pot restaurants are open all over the country. The taxes of the neighboring small country are reduced, but the Zhong family still stays here, they haven’t moved, and they don’t have any extravagant actions, just like that, they still live in the original house, safe and sound, with Lele Yes, but it's not that no one has ever had ideas about their family, but they were all dismissed by the soldiers guarding the village to protect Shen Sisi. Shen Sisi also knew that they lived in the old house and guarded their house specially. She In fact, he already had a premonition that this Han Ji might be related to him by blood.

Therefore, life in the Zhong family is relatively peaceful. The second treasure and the third treasure have already passed the examination as a scholar, and now they are studying at home to prepare for the examination.

The relationship between Dabao and Niu Xiaohua is extremely stable. One is in charge of the outside world and the other is in charge of the housework. They are happy. Niu Xiaohua is 16 years old, and her family is getting richer. She also has the idea of ​​having a child, so Dabao As soon as he came back and greeted his family, he was dragged into the house by Niu Xiaohua.

"What's the matter?!" Dabao handed her the gift he brought back from the capital, "Look, I like it, the new style in the capital..."
