Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 110 Exam Big Fatty
He and the master made a preliminary agreement. This time, the spare parts will be [-] sets, and the price is not low. The samples will be brought over by the ship, and Luo Luo will send them to him and follow suit.Seeing that his apprentice, who has made great achievements in the country, has not forgotten himself, the master is so happy that he can't close his mouth from ear to ear.In addition to these gifts for the master, Jin Li gave him two handfuls of gold coins and put them directly into his pocket.

The master is getting old and plans to retire next year from working as a blacksmith. What worries him is that he does not have enough money.With these gold coins now, it is estimated that there will be more than 100, and they can spend their old age in Montenegro.The two of them, the master and the apprentice, were discussing enthusiastically, but the senior brother always peeked at Liu Tao with sideways eyes, and the lewd pig brother's appearance made several people hate it.

Jin Li had the same problem as his brother, that is, he didn't want people to look at the things in his house.He saw that the gift had been delivered, and there was nothing else to do after finishing the work, so he led the four of them to bid farewell to the master and apprentice and went back.

They left Zhang Sheng to Luo Luo, because Zhang Sheng was Luo Luo's suitor, and Zhang Sheng was not at ease if only Luo Luo was left.When they returned to Liangshan Port, the Jin family's cargo ship sent two shipments of red beans to Qinglang Country, and one shipment of brown rice from the south to Qinglang Country and Xiaoyan Country.Jin Yan has already ordered two new-style sailboats in Montenegro Port, but the shipyard is very busy, and one ship cannot be delivered until October.

Before leaving, the two told Zhang Sheng and Luo Luo: "In the future, pay attention to your own safety here. If you find special talents, as long as the conditions they put forward are not excessive, you will recruit them for me. For example, those skilled Blacksmiths, those who make glass, those who know how to purify gold, silver, lead and tin..."

They went to Yantian by the way. Last year, Yantian's income reached a considerable 3 taels of silver, and this year it is estimated that it will be even more.Salt drying in salt fields is subject to seasonal restrictions. It enters a vigorous evaporation period from late April to the end of October when the temperature drops sharply, and evaporation will slow down. The same is true for salt ponds where the salt is melted and recrystallized.The time of the year with the largest amount of evaporation is only half a year, and the income of 3 taels of silver is also commendable. If it is placed in another saltworks, the owner and shopkeeper may have to wake up from sleep.

Marlan had just given birth to a baby boy and was still in confinement. Liu Tao looked at the baby with maternal eyes in her arms: "Oh, let's grow up quickly, this little lean horse..."

"Tao'er, you made a mistake. Although he was born to sister Malan, his last name is Ma?"

Liu Tao argued embarrassingly: "My God, can a child take his mother's surname, why should he take his father's surname? No, our future children will have his surname Liu!"

In fact, that's what Liu Tao said, if Jin Yang's child was really named Liu, Jin Yang's parents would definitely not agree, and his grandma would even break the sky.

Since the two left, Liu Tao's grandma chased her father every day to arrange the shopkeeper's position for Big Fatty, so that her parents took the trouble to say, "Mom, you also know that not everyone can be the shopkeeper. , see what Big Fatty can do?"

"I think Big Fatty can do anything, such as the shopkeeper of the dock, you just don't want him to be the big shopkeeper, and it's okay to give him and his son a dock."

"It's up to Jin Yan to decide who the pier is for. We have to wait for Jin Yan and Tao'er to arrange it when they come back?"

"Why, his family's Jinsha is my relative, and our family's big fat is an outsider, and he takes the spectator to order dishes?"

Dad is in a dilemma: "Mom, how about this? Let Big Fatty go to the pier to familiarize himself with the operation process of the pier. When Jin Yan and the others come back, Big Fatty will be familiar with it. Then let Jin Li arrange him and say Nothing happened, right?"

"Well, that makes sense, I'm afraid that Big Fatty will be bullied by those ghost-headed and toad-eyed guys on the pier, so you can take their father and son there, and don't forget to tell those guys that Big Fatty is your real nephew. "

The big fat father and son went down to the pier under the leadership of their father. Liu Tao’s uncle is still good. He humbly asks for advice from the clerk and the various sub-treasurers who manage the pier. Unfortunately, he can’t read or count. He can add and subtract numbers below twenty You can do it with your fingers, but if it exceeds [-] or more, it will not work. I answered that sentence; it is terrible to be uneducated.

Fatty got bored less than half an hour after arriving at the pier. His counting skills were not as good as his father's, but he just knew how to eat. If he became the shopkeeper, he would be a big shopkeeper!
Ever since his father introduced him to a lot of shopkeepers, he went to the pier to eat and drink every day before dinner. Everyone knew that he was the uncle of Jin Yan’s brother-in-law, Liu Tao, and he was no problem in the kitchens of various piers. People chased him away.He is also well-behaved, he will never eat too much at one family, eat some at one family and eat at another, and he will be full after going back to the Jin Mansion. Even Wu'er thought that his stomach has been greasy these days and his appetite has decreased.

He saw Liu Xi at the pier that day, and Liu Xi knew his relationship with his family, so he invited him to have dinner at his home.Because Liu Yi and Wu'er also helped in the kitchen, she also watched Liu Tao's cooking many times, and she was impressed by what she saw and heard. The meals she made and her own creativity were recognized by Big Fatty, and he unknowingly ate ordinary people. Twice as many meals.

Liu Xi didn't feel anything, but the second uncle was a little unhappy, and he became bored when he came again the next day and the third day.On the fourth day, the second uncle prepared a portion for him in advance and put it in a small porcelain basin, but the portion was much smaller.Even so, he saw that Fatty still ate the little pot upside down.

The next day, he still put the big fat portion in a small basin, and deliberately added a lot of salt to him alone. .

When the two came back this time, they were quite satisfied to see that everything in the house was normal, but they didn't know that the two grandmas had been secretly fighting for several days. Since Grandma Jinsha was invited during the Chinese New Year, she came in and out of the Jin Mansion frequently.In the past, they were strictly prohibited from entering the mansion by Liu Tao's order. Since they got into trouble, they have become self-aware. After entering the gate of the Jin Mansion, they chose to behave as low-key as possible.

A few days after the new year, Liu Guangjun and the others watched her go in and out of the mansion, and Liu Tao didn't say anything special. Besides, she was alone and old, and she was Jin Hao's grandmother and the old mother of the old employer. It's rough.In addition, she didn't do anything out of the ordinary, and it became normal for her to go in and out of the Golden Mansion a few times.The grandma who eats well in Jinfu knows that the two granddaughters-in-law can't make the same taste even if they are given the same ingredients. Since they came, they sat down and ate together when they caught up with the meal.

Liu Tao's grandma saw that Jin Yan's grandma was down and out, so she always didn't look at her well. Although Jin Yan's grandma noticed it, she chose to keep a low profile.But Grandma Liu Tao saw that she was showing timidity, so she couldn't help running against her bumpy words.

When Grandma Liu Tao was eating that day, in front of many people, she asked about Jin Yan's appointment as shopkeeper to Fatty. It's not enough to be a buddy.

Grandma was impatient at the time: "Jin Li, as my granddaughter's future son-in-law, you can look down on your uncle, but you can't look down on my grandson! You said my grandson can't read numbers, you can ask questions to see if he can read Numeracy?"

"Grandma, what kind of questions do I ask?"

"Just ask the question of Zhuangjiayuan, so don't make my grandson dizzy?"

"Okay, let me make one!"

Liu Tao said in a timely manner: "Brother Jinzhang, you can sell some simple ones. Don't sell anything that is tens of thousands, just sell less than a hundred. It is best to sell some chickens and rabbits in the same cage." The topic in the..."

After hearing this, grandma felt warm in her heart, she guessed; the topic of a few rabbits and chickens must be easy.

Jin Yan almost burst out laughing after hearing Liu Tao's reminder, because the chicken and rabbit cage together seem simple, but in fact it is a difficult problem at the level of Olympiad. , It takes a lot of brains to solve it.

He straightened his face and began to say: "Let me make a simpler one. Listen up, everyone... I don't know how many chickens and rabbits are in the same cage. There are 36 heads exposed in the cage. There are fifty pairs of feet. How many chickens are there?" and rabbits?"

Seeing that everyone was pondering, he went on to say: "This question is too simple. Fifty pairs of feet means a hundred feet. There are no more than a hundred numbers, and ordinary people can figure it out. If you are fat If you are quite the shopkeeper, you must answer this question correctly..."

Not only the fat father and son, but almost everyone was thinking hard. After a while, grandma felt that she had glimpsed the light, so she reported the number "forty chickens, twenty rabbits"

"Grandma, you are wrong. How many feet are there forty chickens, and how many feet are there for twenty rabbits? How much do you add together?"

She uttered several wrong numbers in a row, and she became irritated: "Jin Li, you are talking nonsense to deceive us, are you? If you deliberately deceived people, you are too wicked."

Jin Yan smiled and said nothing, seeing that grandma was about to go crazy, he said: "It's a very simple question, since I don't know how to do it, then I will tell you, so as not to say that I deliberately deceived... There are 22 chickens and [-] rabbits." Only."

After checking the answers, everyone suddenly realized, but grandma started to quibble: "This question is not counted, and these things are not sold on our docks, so they are not needed at all? Come up with another one."

"Okay, let me make a simpler one; 52 people go to the other side, there are only eleven boats in total, the small boat can seat four fat men, the big boat can accommodate six thin men, how many big boats and small boats, if you say no, you are an idiot. "

Jin Yan defined those who could not answer the questions as idiots, Liu Tao couldn't help laughing "hahahaha", she also echoed: "This question is easier, if you can't answer it, you are an idiot, of course you can't be an idiot." The shopkeeper, big fat brother, can't you be an idiot?"

In the end, it was Dad and Wu'er who figured it out. Of course, it is impossible for the fat father and son to figure it out. Grandma gave a few answers, but she was not right. The subject was dropped.

Jin Li found Zhang Yizhen for Dapang to treat his illness. Zhang Yizheng diagnosed that a Xuan in Dapang's head was broken and needed acupuncture treatment for a period of time, so he asked his uncle to send him there every day.

Er Ya is only half a year younger than Liu Tao, she is a bit stupid, but she is not lazy, she can help the kitchen even when she has nothing to do.
