The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 18 Gossip
"How come, isn't this a normal thing, every girl has thoughts, how could I laugh at you." Han Qianluo persuaded with a smile.

"You really don't know how to laugh at me?" Li Chunhua still asked in disbelief.

"Of course, I promise I won't laugh at you."

Han Qianluo felt that it was too difficult for him to listen to a gossip, so he almost raised his hand to swear.

But fortunately, Li Chunhua seemed to believe it after hearing it, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I think," Li Chunhua stopped at this point, so anxious that Han Qianluo couldn't help but want to say the second half of her sentence. shake it out.

"Brother Qingquan is quite nice." Li Chunhua said the second half of the sentence coyly.

After hearing this sentence, Han Qianluo felt his brain froze instantly, unable to make any response, until Li Chunhua asked worriedly: "Qianluo, do you think I'm strange?"

"How could it be?" Han Qianluo came back to his senses, and quickly replied, "I just think that my brother is also 23 years old this year, and he is about the same age as Zhou Youping."

Han Qianluo couldn't help thinking about it, if Li Chunhua married her eldest brother, then she would be called Li Chunhua's sister-in-law.Omega's!Han Qianluo couldn't help crying in his heart.

"I think Brother Qingquan is pretty good." Li Chun said.

Han Qianluo didn't know what to say, so he quickly changed the subject and talked about another matter, saying: "Iron tools are so expensive now, I made an iron cauldron today, and it costs three hundred renminbi." Where's the money?"

"Don't you have a cauldron in your house? Why do you need to make another one? It's still made of iron. Iron tools are very valuable now." Li Chunhua said.

The two were looking for wild vegetables while they were talking, and they also met Zhao Qin's group when they were looking for wild vegetables, and some verbal disputes would inevitably arise, but Han Qianluo didn't care much, and didn't take Zhao Qin to heart , I don't care what she said.

After looking for wild vegetables and going back, Han Qianluo made dinner. While cooking steamed buns, he thought about how to make money: It might not be feasible to make caramel for sale, and if he made white sugar, he didn’t have so many sugar cane, so even if there was, I don't have that much money to buy it now.

Han Qianluo thought for a long time but couldn't think of any solution, but the more he thought about it, the more worried he became.Han Shui'er walked into the kitchen, took a look at Han Qianluo, and asked while packing the wild vegetables for dinner, "Xiao Luo, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing?" Han Qianluo was a little puzzled as to where Han Shuier's question came from.

"Then why do you look so sad?" Han Shui'er asked, pinching off the old stalks of wild vegetables.

Han Qianluo added a handful of firewood to the stove, and replied, "I'm thinking about how to make money, but I can't figure it out."

"You, you always don't want to get down to business. The most important thing you should do now is to practice weaving well, so that you can marry a better family in the future." Han Shuier said, her face was slightly flushed, obviously she was embarrassed to say this topic.

Han Qianluo saw that a large amount of white water vapor had started to come out of the pottery pot, so he removed some firewood from the stove, and then said: "Sister, our family is like this now, there must be no good reason for someone to marry us, so It’s still about making money.”

After Han Qianluo finished speaking, he realized that this sentence was a bit inappropriate. It obviously hit Han Shuier's sore spot, and the expression on his face became a little lonely. Han Qianluo quickly comforted him and said, "Actually, I think it's better to get married later. , I heard that it is said in medical books that getting married later is good for your health, and it is also good for future generations.”

"You girl, you are talking nonsense. When have you seen medical skills?" Han Shui'er's face finally no longer had the lonely expression before. It was probably because Han Qianluo was talking about children, so he was a little embarrassed, and his face was a little sad. flushed.

Although Han Shui'er was a little embarrassed, she continued to say seriously: "Besides, the imperial court does not allow ordinary people to have books in their homes, and they will be beheaded. After Xiao Luo, you can't say such nonsense anymore."

Both the original owner and Han Qianluo himself knew about this matter.The Order of Holding Books appeared in the time of Emperor Qin Shihuang, and was abolished in the time of Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying. Han Qianluo knew that the emperor died three years ago, so it should be the third year of Emperor Hui, and it will be abolished in a year. Take the book order.

However, the thing of holding a book order does not have too much influence on Han Qianluo now. After all, she doesn't know Chinese characters now. To be precise, she doesn't know the current Xiaozhuan. Luo felt that he was half-baked and half-guessed, and probably could recognize some, but this Xiaozhuan was completely useless.

But when it comes to books, Han Qianluo feels that after the abolishment of the book-holding order next year, he may be able to make paper and sell it. This is the only copy, and it should sell well.However, it is better to honestly think about other ways to make money now.

Han Qianluo doesn't know much. First, she doesn't know how to make glass, second, she doesn't know how to make soap, and third, she doesn't know how to make cosmetics. In addition to making sugar, she can also make soy sauce, vinegar, and wine. For these types, she still knows the ancient method of squeezing vegetable oil.

However, neither brewing wine nor making soy sauce and vinegar can be completed in a short period of time, and it takes several months. As for pressing vegetable oil, peanuts have not yet been passed on, and rapeseed is still only a vegetable, sporadically planted. a few.

There is also sesame that can be used to extract oil, and the oil content is quite high, but before knowing that oil can be extracted, sesame is not as good as rapeseed, at least rapeseed can be eaten as a vegetable, sesame can only be regarded as a weed, so now No sesame seeds for oil either.

As for other crops that can be used to extract oil, firstly, the oil content is not high, and the value is not high, and secondly, Han Qianluo does not know what else can be used to extract oil.

By the way, Han Qianluo also remembered that a kind of cotton seed can be used to extract oil, but now the cotton is still in Xinjiang. Besides, the oil extracted from cotton seed is said to cause male infertility.So this path is not feasible now.

However, Han Qianluo realized that after the rapeseed matured for a while, he had to remember to collect the rapeseed, so that he could plant it in the second half of the year, and next year he would be able to eat rapeseed oil and, of course, sesame oil.

After the dinner was ready, the brothers and sisters began to eat. Although Han Qianluo made a stool, but the table didn't change, so she couldn't use that stool when eating, so Han Qianluo still sat on her knees while eating. Eat on the mat.

Han Qianluo was eating hard steamed buns and drinking wild vegetable soup with only a little salt in it, when he suddenly remembered that Li Chunhua said he liked his elder brother Han Qingquan, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Now the eldest brother who is the head of the family didn't say anything, but the second sister Han Shuier said a little displeased: "Xiao Luo, it's time to eat now, so we can't behave like this."

"Second Sister, I just remembered something." Han Qianluo deliberately didn't finish speaking, waiting for Han Shui'er to ask herself.

Sure enough, Han Shui'er asked, "What's so funny?"

"Second sister, there are people who like big brother, do you know?" Han Qianluo lowered his voice and said in a low voice. After all, Li Chunhua and the others are next door to his house, so it's better to keep your voice down so as not to be heard by them.

Han Shui'er and Han Qingquan probably didn't think about it, and there was no reaction at once. Han Qianluo was very proud of the effect of his news, and continued to eat contentedly, but he didn't say that Li Chunhua liked Han Qingquan. It is smaller than later generations, but it is still a feudal society where men are superior to women.

However, Han Qianluo didn't say anything, someone naturally asked, and the fourth son, Han Sanwei, who had been ignored by the three of them, asked from the side: "Sister, who likes the eldest brother, do we have a sister-in-law?"

"Kids, don't talk nonsense." Han Shui'er quickly scolded, "Don't go out and talk nonsense, if I know you go out and talk nonsense, I will definitely spank your ass."

"Second sister, why can't you say it?" Han Sanwei asked.

"You just need to remember, you won't understand even if you tell me." Han Shui'er said.

For the next few days, Han Qianluo was busy selling and digging wild vegetables, and had no time and energy to think about other things, until five days later it was time to go to Zhangji Iron Shop to pick up the pot.

Han Qianluo sold out the wild vegetables early, then went to Zhangji Iron Shop to get the pot, and then prepared to go home, probably because this thing was a bit strange, walking in the market, people kept turning their heads to look at Han Qianluo.Han Qianluo didn't care about such gazes at all, and continued to walk out of the city calmly.

"Miss Han."

Han Qianluo heard a familiar male voice, which seemed to be the voice of Liu Xingzhi, a sick and beautiful man. Han Qianluo quickly raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice, and he saw Liu Xingzhi's thin figure.

"Mr. Liu." Han Qianluo couldn't help but said with some joy, "I didn't expect to meet you today. What a coincidence."

Liu Xingzhi quickly walked up to Han Qianluo, said with a gentle smile on his face, "I'm going out for a stroll today when I'm free, I didn't expect to see Miss Han." Then he paused and looked at Han Qianluo The iron pot in the back basket said with some uncertainty, "Will I disturb you?"

"Of course not. It's too late to be happy to meet Mr. Han." Han Qianluo said bluntly, she didn't care if Liu Xingzhi heard about it. Naturally, if you like someone, you just want him to know, what's the secret love in your heart.

However, Liu Xingzhi probably has never met such a straightforward person as Han Qianluo, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses, and said with a gentle smile: "Miss Han is really a straightforward person."

After Liu Xingzhi finished speaking, he hesitated for a while before continuing: "Let's stop talking here, let's go over there for a while."

Naturally, Han Qianluo would not object, so Liu Xingzhi happily went to the nearby teahouse together.
