Although the granary is also very full this year, most of it is tax revenue contributed by the Ning family's villagers.
"Master, if anything happens to Mrs. Ning in the future, as long as she doesn't break the law, I'll take care of it!"
Looking at the coarse grains and two-crop rice seeds being sold every day, even though Li Weishan was always an impartial and law-abiding person, he couldn't help but give instructions to Master An.
Master An listened and agreed.
After all, if Mrs. Ning hadn't left the greenhouse vegetable matter to the government, how could he and your Excellency have had a bite of fresh vegetables in the winter!
With the money earned from greenhouse vegetables, adults finally no longer have to dig into their own pockets to make up for the loopholes in the government office.
Thinking about the clothes under your official robe, I haven't made new clothes in three years.
There were layers of patches on it, and he didn't even know where to put the needle.
Ning Pengpeng didn't know that the promotion of growing whole grains this time gave her another insurance policy.
Although there are a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes, once they are made into vermicelli, they don't look like much at all.
Therefore, in addition to these vermicelli, there are also ground chili peppers that have to be taken north.
It's cold in the winter over there, so drinking a bowl of chili water can help you break up a sweat and keep your body warm.
There is also white sugar, although it is not a lot, but if you transport it yourself and sell it, it is about the same.
In the past, a lot of rapeseed was planted, but the harvest was mediocre.
Maybe the land here is different from that in the south, so the harvest is not as good as in the south.
Therefore, except for the first planting, Ning Pengpeng only planted a few acres of land every year, leaving the rapeseed that needs to be planted next year, and the rest is used to squeeze rapeseed oil.
However, although this rapeseed oil is very fragrant, only half of Ning's family likes to eat it.
The other half of the people still like to eat lard.
Especially the kind of fat meat, the kind of fat and oily white meat made by Ning Pengpeng, Ning Laoer can eat a big plate in one meal.
Ning Pengpeng was really afraid that he would be addicted to lard, so after dinner, she made him tea to relieve his tiredness, but Ning Laoer was still unwilling.
After all, after drinking the brewed tea, he felt that all the Er Liang oil in his stomach had been wiped clean!
Only in the past few years has he been able to eat so much oily food, so how could he bear to do so?
Therefore, Ning Laoer would rather drink boiled water than drink tea.
That is to say, his mother pressed down and asked him to drink it, and he drank it with a sad face, as if he felt as uncomfortable as drinking medicine.
Regarding this point, the four brothers of the Ning family, including the eldest brother and the daughter-in-law of the third and fourth brothers, all have the same taste and like to eat fat meat.
When it was time for the Chinese New Year, Ms. Wang directly called her second brother Wang Deyin to come over for help and kill the two pigs raised at home.
One of them was half-opened and sent directly to Ning Pengpeng's yard.
For the remaining one and a half pigs, she and Ning Laosan discussed and gave each of the eldest, second and fourth sons a large pork leg.
For the rest, she cut off three pieces of pork belly, each about five pounds, and she marinated the rest with salt.
The Wang family did not show favoritism to others, so they each gave five kilograms of meat to their parents, eldest brother and second brother.
Of course, her parents also had two extra pieces of fabric to make New Year's clothes for Wang Dahai and Mrs. Zhao.
Regarding his daughter-in-law sending these things back to her parents' home, although Ning Laosan looked down upon his uncle, he also felt that his father-in-law was a little confused.
However, if he doesn’t look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face, what else can he say about his wife’s natal family?
Especially Wang Deyin is here. He has helped me a lot in the past few years.
Therefore, after his wife gave the gifts, he left Wang Deyin, who helped butcher the pig, to eat pig-killing rice at home.
Two pigs, but there are two pigs in the water and two pig heads!
When my mother cooked the large intestines before, Mrs. Wang also learned from Mrs. Liu.
Usually, I would go out to buy some pigs and bring them back, braising them for a few little ones to taste.
Two pig heads, blanched in water, then marinated whole.
When the marinade was ready, Ning Laosan picked the smaller one and asked Mr. Wang to cut it for the next meal.
The remaining big one was sent to Ning Pengpeng by Ning Laosan.
Seeing the big braised pig head, Ning Pengpeng didn't react for a moment.
It was Aunt Tan who reminded her that Ning Pengpeng remembered that at the age of twenty-three, she still had a dead husband and the ancestors of the Ning family.
No, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so we have to let them have a bite!
So, place incense eucalyptus, a big pig head and some dumplings and fruits, and let several sons, daughters, grandchildren come to offer incense and kneel down to worship.
After paying homage, Ning Pengpeng gave the big pig head to Aunt Tan to share, and the family went back with a large plate of pig head meat.
On New Year's Eve, with heavy snowfall, the Ning family gathered together.
After eating, Ning Pengpeng called the four Ning brothers, Liu Hu and Ning Youxi to the study.
This was someone Ning Pengpeng had just separated this year, specifically for talking about things.
After all, as the family business grows bigger and bigger, there can't be no room for discussion.
After Aunt Tan brought the tea, she quietly withdrew.
Ning Pengpeng asked everyone to sit down, and Liu Hu looked a little scared.
After all, everyone is the master and he is the slave.
"Sit down!"
Ning Pengpeng glanced at him and ordered.
After hearing what the old lady said, Liu Hu sat down, but only halfway, and his whole body was upright.
“After this year, it’s a new year.
I plan to let Liu Hu and Lao San go out together after next spring.
The fourth child stayed at home and managed the shops in the town first.
Also, I asked the third child to buy a house in Fucheng. Later, when I get married, I will go out from that house.
So, after the Chinese New Year, I took Youxi and moved to Fucheng.
However, the sugar workshop in the village, as well as the shops in Zhuangzi and the town, must be managed by someone.
The eldest, second and fourth sons have to stay here, so I didn’t look for a house for you in Fucheng.
If you also want to buy a house, I will find someone to look after it for you after I go to Fucheng.
In addition to this, there is another thing, and that is children's studies.
A few days ago, Master Chen came to see me.
Yongye, Yongpeng and Yongkang have studied with him for so many years, and they have learned almost everything they need to learn!
If you continue to study, you won't learn anything new.
If they want to take part in the imperial examination, they have to go to Fucheng to find a more powerful teacher.
Therefore, I will also take the three of them to Fucheng.
In addition to these three boys, I am also going to take Cheng'er, Mian'er and Hua'er with me.
Others, let’s wait and see in another two years, what do you think?”
It's not that Ning Pengpeng is partial, it's that she thinks she doesn't have enough energy to take care of her children.
And most of the children she brought here can handle their own affairs on their own, which gave her a lot of peace of mind.
After hearing what his mother said, Ning Laosan scratched the back of his head and expressed that he had no objection.
