Chapter 214 Existence Like a Shit Stirring Stick
When Cheng Xia saw Yang Dalang's appearance, his heart skipped a beat, this Xiu'e might not be easy to drive away.

Sure enough, Yang Dalang said, "Lizheng said, your grandma is determined to keep her, and that Xiu'e is very pitiful, and she said that your family is not too poor to eat, how can you do such a thing?" For death, let Xiu'e stay."

Damn it, Cheng Xia wished he could cut this lizheng into seven or eight sections, this bastard is a shit-stirring stick, she saw it when she passed Xiaolong last time.This kind of person is, if you reason with him, he will play hooligan with you;Never being on the same channel, messing around just can't do anything practical, compared to Grandpa Lizheng, it's really far behind, and I don't know how to choose it.

The most direct way to deal with this kind of person is, if his sympathy is overflowing, then take Xiu'e to his house, and then he won't be able to fart at all.

Thinking of the matter between Xiu'e and Cheng Zuo, Cheng Xia felt uneasy, feeling that this matter was not over yet.

However, Eucommia performed very well today, Cheng Xia specially made peanut crisps for him as a snack, and finally left him satisfied.

In the next few days, Cheng Xia was busy making sausages and sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing.Every kind of flower has its seasonality, and when it comes to September, it’s time to make chrysanthemum wine, so take advantage of the full bloom of sweet-scented osmanthus, and stock up a few more jars.

This morning, Cheng Xia saw that the broad beans covered with yellow vitex were almost moldy, so he decided to officially make bean paste.

The fresh red peppers were all picked from the mountains yesterday, washed with water, put on the baskets outside to dry the water, and dried for another day, and now they are just a little soft.Zanthoxylum bungeanum is self-produced on the mountain, and you can pick it off at any time. The ginger and garlic are sent by Mrs. Zhang, so I don't need too much.These are the ingredients needed to make bean paste. As for the ratio of chili, pepper, ginger, garlic, and salt, there is no specific statement. Just adjust it according to your own preferences.

After everything was ready, Cheng Xia began to make Doubanjiang officially.Mince the chili, ginger, garlic and peppercorns, put all the ingredients and the dried watercress in a large tank, add salt and a small amount of white wine to stir, and after stirring evenly, put it in a large tank cleaned with white wine In the porcelain altar, seal it firmly and seal the mouth of the altar with clean water.

Cheng Xia got twelve large porcelain vases from the shopkeeper of Tianyou Grocery Store, which were very large. Cheng Xia took Yang Dalang to help chop chili peppers. After chopping for a whole morning, he finally made two large porcelain vases of bean paste. But Cheng Xia was too tired to lift his arms.

Yang Dalang felt sorry for her and let her sit on the side to rest while he continued to work.Cheng Xia looked at the inexhaustible peppers and prickly ash, and then at the few broad beans left, only to belatedly realize that there were not enough broad beans to buy.I thought to wait until the next market to buy dozens of catties of broad beans.

Just when she was about to make lunch, Cheng Xia saw Mrs. Chen coming again. She didn't get up and didn't say a word, but she saw Mrs. Chen directly saying that she was here to pick up Xiaolong. Last time in Lizheng, she had agreed to be alone for half a month. The time, now is exactly here.

Cheng Xia counted the days, and it really is, today is August 27th, which is exactly [-] days from July [-]th last time.Cheng Xia hugged Xiaolong to ask his opinion. After such a long time, Xiaolong was not so afraid of Chen, but he was used to living with his aunt and uncle, so why would he want to go back.

When Mrs. Chen saw it, she quickly knelt down and explained to Xiaolong, "I have asked your grandmother to come over. She is at our house now. As long as you live at home, your grandmother will live as long as she doesn't leave. She just keeps looking at Xiaolong. .”

Cheng Xia pursed her lips, unexpectedly Chen became smarter and learned to prescribe the right medicine.Xiaolong had an unusual feeling for his grandmother, and sure enough, Xiaolong was pleasantly surprised, "Grandma really came?"

Chen nodded affirmatively, "Your grandmother is waiting for you at home now."

"Ma'am," Xiaolong bit his lower lip and looked at Cheng Xia, hesitating uncertainly.

Cheng Xia smiled, "If you miss your grandmother, just follow your heart and come back after living with your grandmother for half a month."

"Okay," Xiaolong smiled instantly. His favorites now are his aunt and grandmother. In this way, he can always be with one of them. Thinking about it, he feels very happy.

Cheng Xia was still worried, afraid that Mrs. Chen would lie to her, and deliberately used Xiaolong's grandmother to lure him, but the actual person never came.So she followed Xiaolong to Yang's house, and when she saw that Lin Xiu's mother was really waiting at the door, Cheng Xia repeatedly confirmed that she was indeed going to live here for half a month, and Chen's directly brought Lin Xiu's father to Yang's house, Cheng Xia Only then did Xia feel relieved.Before leaving, she couldn't stop telling Lin Xiuniang that if she had anything to do, she would go to the bamboo house halfway up the mountain to find herself, and seeing that Lin Xiuniang agreed, she kissed Xiaolong's face and went back to the bamboo house.

When they arrived at the bamboo house, Yang Dalang was nowhere to be found. Cheng Xia yelled around the bamboo house several times before seeing Yang Dalang dragging two pieces of wood down the mountain. Cheng Xia was taken aback, "What are you going to do?"

"Bathtub." Yang Dalang said concisely.

Cheng Xia was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, he was still thinking about it.As far as Yang Dalang can be so persistent in doing one thing, there is really nothing he can't do.Cheng Xia admired such a character, because she couldn't do it.

Fortunately, Eucommia was not in front of him, if he was, he would probably have to take a few steps back in fright.In Du Zhong's view, Yang Dalang and Cheng Xia are basically the same people, they are extremely persistent and will never give up until they reach their goals.

Although Cheng Xia had a premonition that she might be tossed miserably at night, but she still underestimated Yang Dalang's endurance, this dead man really tossed all night, and didn't let her go to sleep until the sun was bright.

Just for this night, Cheng Xia went on strike for two days, lying in bed every day, instructing Yang Dalang to make simple chili sauce and garlic chili sauce according to his instructions.After two days of devastation in Chengxia, by the time of the market on August [-]th, there were already forty porcelain jars of chili sauce available for sale.

Du Zhong didn't know where he went. When Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang went to Du Zhong's house to borrow a carriage, the door was closed tightly. Another moment of stunned, the relationship between Yang Dalang and Eucommia seems to be too good.

Du Zhong, don't really be a rival in love with yourself, just thinking about it makes you feel chills.

Yang Dalang drove him to the county seat, and Cheng Xia couldn't believe it. As soon as she moved to the stall, her chili sauce was snatched up by the crowd. "Sold out so fast?"

Yang Dalang leaned against the tree and chuckled, "There is nothing more delicious than the chili sauce you made, and two hundred cash is not a sky-high price for the people in the county. They really like to eat, so naturally they are willing to buy it. Plus You only come to each market once, and they bring few things, and they are afraid that they won’t be able to get them, so they are all waiting for you to come.” Yang Dalang’s eyes are full of appreciation, such a woman is his wife, I feel happy just thinking about it.

Forty porcelain jars of chili sauce were wiped out, eight taels of silver were obtained, and ten porcelain jars of rose sauce were sent to the grocery store, and ten taels of silver was available again.Cheng Xia was thinking about 18 taels of silver, and felt that her career as a rich woman was bright.

Today, August [-]th, the third round of the Qiuwei exam will begin. Cheng Xia came to sell chili sauce on one side, and on the other hand, she came to inquire about Eucommia. She can guarantee that Zheng Guan will definitely act, but she doesn't know the result. up.

Cheng Xia and Yang Dalang went to the gate of the county government office, and saw that Zheng Guan was still adjudicating the case, and it really didn't stop every day.Cheng Xia felt that she could hear what she wanted from the common people. If she didn't hear anything, she would go directly to Liu Wen's house in the west of the city to investigate.

After waiting for a while, a case under trial in the yamen finally came to an end. Zheng Guan's image of justice and integrity has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in just a few days. No matter what he does, false words are second, and actual actions are the only way to prove himself the most effective means.

The people onlookers burst into applause, and some even applauded the new county magistrate for his ability to handle cases.

"Hey, did you hear that, a few days ago, our county magistrate picked up a person from the tribute courtyard." A man said.

"Why didn't I hear that?" Another person echoed, "How many people watched the county magistrate pick him up? It was only the first day of the exam, and that person filled the entire test paper, and he did a good job. , This is too doubtful, especially what it is," the man pretended to be mysterious, "The man's wrist was seriously injured, and he couldn't even lift a pen at all. Isn't this cheating?"

When the third person heard this, he stopped looking at the new case and joined the discussion, "Isn't that Liu Wen, the son-in-law of our former county magistrate? Hey, it was really embarrassing at that time. I heard that the faces of the former county magistrate and the invigilator have changed, and they can't say anything."

Cheng Xia nodded, and asked curiously, "What happened then?"

"Later," a man saw that it was such a beautiful girl who asked him, and smiled honestly, "I heard that the former county magistrate thought Liu Wen was ashamed and asked his daughter to reconcile Liu Wen. I left after August [-]th, but I left in a hurry a few days ago, saying that I went to Liangzhe to take up my post."

Huh?Cheng Xia frowned, Liu Wen just lost one hand, his brain is not broken, he actually watched Zhao Dezhong leave, didn't threaten Zhao Dezhong, let him keep himself, and then dragged Zhao Dezhong into the water?Zhao Dezhong left safely?
For someone like Liu Wen who must get revenge, it is impossible for him to sacrifice himself and would rather leave Zhao Ruan than report Zhao Dezhong.It is serious for two people to fight to the death.

"Brother, what happened to Liu Wen?" Cheng Xia finally asked.

"What else can I do? I was deprived of the title of scholar, and I will never be able to take the imperial examination again."

Cheng Xia nodded, this was the worst punishment for a literati, she really didn't trust Zheng Guan.

Cheng Xia turned around and left the county office, went to buy a lot of broad beans and necessities, and then went home with Yang Dalang by car.

When they arrived at the bamboo house, Cheng Xia found that the younger brother was waiting at the door, Cheng Xia was suspicious for a while, "Why are you here?"

Cheng You sighed, "Second Sister, Liu Wen has gone to our house, Mother told you to go back and have a look."
