Chapter 50 Sha Jin

The shopkeeper repeatedly raised his hands and said: "Thank you very much, young master. Thank you very much, young master. I'll go now, then?"

Su You smiled and said: "Go ahead, thank you for your charity."

After seeing off the shopkeeper, a group of children gathered around, chattering at a cart full of goods.

Su You shouted: "Don't mess around, unload the things into the house first."

There were so many people and it was so lively. After a while, everything was put in place.

Zaowa said: "Young Master, there are so many things, I'm scared to give them money."

Su You asked: "How much money is left?"

Zao Wa made a sad face: "Ten guan of money, there are still 700 left."

Su You smiled and said: "Don't be like this, we have everything in place, and we will accumulate more in the future."

A group of children who drooled when looking at the meat were chattering in front of them. The child's face was slightly red. He hesitated and asked: "The butcher shop owner gave us so much meat, and we eat it all today?"

Su You frowned: "How is it possible? With your spleen and stomach, if you eat too much meat at one time, you will only get diarrhea. Diarrhea these days can be fatal!"

Zao Wa made a sound and asked: "What should we do? Let's eat slowly?"

Su You looked at the pile of goods and said slowly: "Think again."

Suddenly thinking of something, Zaowa was a little excited, but then he felt a little regretful: "If there is enough salt, let's pickle it."

Su You shook his head: "That's a waste of salt. In this way, we pack all these things and keep the food for ourselves. We clean up the rest and take them to the charity shed and let them marinate them and help us sell them.

Isn’t it better to save the money and use it slowly?”

Zao Wa thinks Su You's method is better: "What a good idea, the young master is so smart!"

Su You said: "Then you guys, come with me to the stream, and I will teach you how to clean this up."

Taking several pots to the stream, Su You asked the children to squeeze out the contents of their intestines, knead the contents into balls with soil, and throw them into the large bay by the stream.

The kids thought this was fun and threw it in all kinds of ways.

Zao Wa was a little confused, so he approached Su You and asked, "Young Master, what is this for?"

Su You said: "This bay will be our fish bank from now on!"

Hearing that he was going to have his own fish bank, Zaowa was very excited: "Then when will we catch it?"

Su You raised his mouth and said, "I'll catch him tonight!"

Su You was willing to spend money to get something to eat. He first rubbed his roughly washed intestines and stomach with salt, bit out the mucus and then washed them.

Then turn the small intestine over, roll up the trouser legs, carefully scrape off the excess inner layer with a bamboo knife, leaving only the intestinal membrane, and pickle it with salt.

The pig lungs were the most troublesome. I asked an older child to make a bamboo water gun, pass water into the lung tubes and squeeze them out. This was repeated many times before the pig lungs were properly treated.

After a while, a large pot of pigs was put into the water, four pig trotters were added, and a pig head was washed.

Returning to the Tutu Temple, I took a pottery pot I made the day before, filled it with a little water, took the resin collected by the girls and boiled it, applied bamboo slices to the pig's head and trotters, poured cold water on it, and after the resin re-condensed, lightly

With a gentle flick, the pig hair was removed.

Gou Sheng finished making bamboo sticks, and the girls also finished tying the twine. They tied the twine between several trees in the forest and came to help.

Su You asked Gou Sheng to tie a bamboo door, took thin bamboo poles and cut them open, and asked the girls to add long grass from the waterside, clamp it on the bamboo pole and tie it tightly, and hang them on the bamboo door in rows.

Using the same method, I also made two window-sized ones. I went into the house and dug out the purchased medicines, lit hay in the pots, then put the medicines on top, and thick smoke started to rise.

Su You ran out quickly. The smoke clearly smelled of sulfur, and there were several other things that were not good.

Let the children use bamboo and grass doors to block the doors and windows, and smoke them to kill insects.

Xiaoqi has already led people to make briquettes all over the place, at least hundreds of them.

Leave the pig lungs, liver and small intestine buried in a small bowl of salt, put them in a cool place, burn the dehaired pig trotters over the fire, put them in boiling water and scrape off a thin layer of skin.

Use a knife to carefully peel off the pig's head against the skull, cut out the walnut meat, take out the pig's tongue and gums, and ask someone to send it to a charity shed to help marinate and sell it.

Put the pig lungs in boiling water and then cut them into small pieces with a knife. The pork belly is also soaked in water, then scrape off the white membrane, add large pieces of ginger, put it together with the pork belly and trotters in a small pot, and cook it

.

It was already past noon, so he had to hurry up. Su You asked the girls to prepare vegetables, and he took a group of boys with him to tie bamboo sticks on the twine in the forest.

Then cut the dry reed tubes collected yesterday into small sections, bend the bamboo sticks, bring the two ends together, and cover them with the reed tubes.

Cut the pig pancreas into small pieces, cut the roasted red taro into small pieces, and fill them into the reed tube.

Then take a large dustpan, start from the end of the hemp rope, tie a big stone, place the clip in the center of the dustpan, arrange the hemp rope, and arrange it around the edge of the dustpan.

This thing is easy to mess up, so Su You has to come in person.

With two thin hemp ropes and two dustpans, Su You took the people to the upper reaches of the stream to saw bamboo.

Saw the bamboo into long sections, drag them to the stream, tie them with bamboo strips to form two bamboo rafts, prop them down and put the dustpan on them.

Tie the threads of the hemp rope to the trees by the stream. Two bamboo rafts form a team on each side. One person controls the bamboo raft in front, and the other person lifts the prepared hemp rope in circles and puts it into the water.

The twine was very long and was placed in the center of the bay before the anchor stone was sunk.

Two hemp ropes were used to draw two parallel lines along the nest where the pig manure had just been removed.

After arranging everything, we returned to the Tutu Temple, stepped on the new mud, and then took the children to the riverside to clean up and take a bath, and called the two groups of people excavating iron sand to finish their work.

When Su You and the others came over, Shanshao smiled and said, "Young Master, you are well-informed. What is this?"

Su You went over and took a look, and there were a few small golden metal particles in the tied palm.

Su You smiled and said: "Let everyone take a look. This is alluvial gold. If you are looking for this in the future, you must collect it."

Shanshao felt a little at a loss: "Is this gold?"

Su You didn't take it seriously: "Don't think you can make a fortune. One tael of gold, sold to the court, only costs nine guan. If you refine this bit of alluvial gold, it may cost several hundred dollars."

After speaking, he cut a bamboo joint, drilled a small hole in it, tied it with a hemp rope to the waistband of his trousers, and said with a smile: "But a little will make a lot, these little alluvial gold, please tie it to the big brother, and wait until

If you think the belt can’t hang anymore, we’ll try to figure out how to sell it.”

Xuanzhao carefully put a few grains of gold sand into the bamboo tube, took Su You's knife, scraped a bamboo stick to plug the holes, and said with a smile: "The young master is right, we will pan for iron sand more often in the future."

Pay attention, if you find alluvial gold, bring it to me."

Su You patted the tied arm: "Brother Li, you are the oldest here. Now we have to consider winter matters. Everyone must at least add a pair of clothes, which is thirty or fifty pounds."

He immediately frowned when he was tied up. He really hadn't thought that far. In the past winter, he basically relied on carrying him. Every year, younger brothers and sisters couldn't carry him. The circles under his eyes turned red just thinking about it.

Su You obviously knew what he was thinking, and comforted him: "Don't worry, I'll be here this year."

Shanzhao raised his head: "Young Master, we believe in you!"

Su Xiaomei also said beside her: "We believe in Brother Xiaoyou!"

Su You always showed great confidence in front of the children: "Let's go to the city and sell iron sand!"

The first time I panned for iron sand, it must have been a good harvest. Two groups of fourteen or five people each got a dozen or so taels, which is more than half a catty.

Added together, it’s close to eight kilograms, worth half a pound!

Whenever money is involved, Su You will not just send one person, but three or five together, with supervision.

Including himself was no exception. He took Lian Shuan and Su Xiaomei into the city to find Shi Tong. When Shi Tong saw Su You, he smiled like a fox who had stolen a chicken: "Master, with your clever operation, our feather

Patterned steel can be sold at will."

Su You said with a smile: "What you wanted was a name. Now that you have a name, it's fair and square. If you sell less, I won't spare you!"

Shi Tong said: "How can I do that? Word came from home that the Little Heavenly Master specified that he wanted five feather-patterned steel magic swords. The name is a bit scary. Just take a look! Oh, this batch of iron sand
