"Since you don't have it, just calm down your thoughts. I didn't buy you to let you dwell on these naive thoughts all day long."
The big cow who was so scolded that he couldn't hold his head up said: "...Yes, old lady."
The carriage drove to the door of Qian's house, attracting the attention of the neighbors.
Tang Zangyue was eating melon seeds next to the carriage, letting Uncle Zhao help the boy move things.
Someone came up to inquire. Seeing that Tang Zangyue was very talkative, the conversation became more and more lively.
"Are you Doctor Tang? I heard from Village Chief Yu that you bought the Qian family's big cow? Is that true?"
"We are not from the Xiao family, so why should I be so busy doing this? Sister, do you want to eat melon seeds?"
"Eat, eat, eat." The man took a handful of melon seeds that Tang Zangyue grabbed and slowly nibbled one. He found that it still tasted good. His cloudy eyes lit up in surprise, "These melon seeds still have some taste."
Son?"
"It's fried at home, with some spices added. It's a snack for the children at home."
"Doctor Tang really spoils his children."
"You can't get used to it. Children grow up in the blink of an eye. Their childhood years are only a few years. We have to let them live happily."
This is the first time the old woman has heard of such a method of raising children.
Countryside people raise their children in a free-range manner. After completing the tasks assigned by the family, they run all over the mountains and fields, with the older ones leading the younger ones, and the younger ones following behind the older ones.
The elders will be busy with one-third of an acre of land at home. Even for wealthy families, they will be educated at an early age and sent to private schools to learn and read.
Innocence?Happiness?
Tang Zangyue was incompatible with the education of the people here.
The woman laughed dryly twice and changed the subject, "By the way, Doctor Tang, why are you taking this kid Daniel back to Qian's house?"
Tang Zangyue: "Well, I advised Daniu to sell the old house to Village Chief Yu, and then rent a house in Jiuli Village to serve our Xiao family..."
The old woman froze again.
Village Chief Yu took advantage of this house!
Their home has been outgrown for a long time and needs to be expanded. If they buy the Qian family's old house at a low price, they can save a lot of money. I don't know whether the house will be sold to the village or to the village chief.
Thinking this way, I also asked what was in my heart.
Tang Zangyue was blunt: "Well... when the relatives of the Qian family came to make trouble, Village Chief Yu did a lot of work. I thought that Village Chief Yu was kind to the Qian family, so I didn't stop Danniu from selling to him at a low price.
.”
!!!
The old woman asked tentatively: "How much did you sell?"
Tang Zangyue raised a few fingers.
Old woman:!!!
Heartbroken.
How heartbroken!
What's the difference between selling it for such a low price and giving it away for free?
Village Chief Yu is not the only one in the village who helps the Qian family! Village Chief Yu talks a lot about things that other people have done! Not like this! They are using the authority of the village chief to make money!
The old woman: "I remembered that I have something else to do, so I'm going to leave first..." After saying that, she picked up her feet and walked away very fast.
Looking in that direction, it seems to be heading towards Village Chief Yu’s house?
I just don’t know whether to promote Village Chief Yu’s purchase of the Qian family’s old house at a low price, or to make other plans?
Tang Zangyue smiled slightly.
When I turned around, I saw Uncle Zhao and Daniel moving the tattered mattresses...
His face froze slightly, and he immediately opened the curtain of the carriage and took a look. There was a chipped bowl, a table and stool with a corner tied to it, and a water tank also on the carriage...
She sighed, but didn't say anything to stop her.
Afterwards, the carriage put the things in the vacant front yard of the Xiao family before rushing to the town to do shopping.
Tang Zangyue asked Daniel to keep the money from selling the old house, so the child spent it very carefully. Even if he bought a bowl, he would have to grind it with the kiln burner for a long time.
So we arrived at the town entrance a little late.
Seeing that Aunt Liu and the others had been waiting for who knows how long, Daniel realized something and his face turned a little pale.
He suddenly looked at Tang Zangyue.
The latter looked leisurely. Even if he noticed the child's gaze, he just looked straight ahead and said calmly: "What are you doing? Think you are wasting everyone's time with all your bargaining efforts? Are you feeling guilty?"
Daniel said nothing, obviously he was convinced.
Tang Zangyue: "Then do you think I have such an aggrieved temper? If it is really wasting everyone's time, would I let you waste it? What do you think of me?"
...It seems, too?
Sitting on the carriage, it was a bit crowded, but it didn't affect Aunt Liu's gradually becoming warmer.
Aunt Liu: "Old madam, some of the guests who came to the stall today asked me if I can make some wine to sell with my craftsmanship. Their conditions in the military camp are difficult, and they usually drink strong wine to keep out the cold, but the wine brewed in the city's wine shop smells so good.
It’s not correct enough, so ask me to ask.”
liquor?
Tang Zangyue pondered for a moment and said: "We can try it, but the yard is not enough now..." She thought of the yard she had just rented for Qian's family.
The old hunter’s yard was also quite big. I heard from the village chief that the old hunter raised all the live animals he hunted during his lifetime and sold them after they gave birth to cubs. This was much safer than just relying on self-made traps to trap prey. At least he would not go hungry for a while.
Have a full meal.
Dig another cellar, just enough to store the brewed spirits. However, the brewed wine must be stored for at least half a year before it can be drunk. This cycle is longer than the spices she is about to plant...
In this way, you can brew a little experimentally for the first time, and if you succeed, you can brew more for the second time and store it.
Sorghum for making wine can be purchased in the nearest county, and the price is not cheap, costing 15 copper coins per pound. In Luoyang, which is rich in sorghum, the price should be lower, but she just went to search all over the Chu State. If she wanted to continue collecting
Supplies will have to wait until next year.
The cellar can be dug first and Aunt Liu can try to see if the first batch of wine can be successful.
Tang Zangyue flipped through the brewing videos he had watched roughly on the Internet in his previous life and said, "You can try it first. If the brewing is successful, then brew in large quantities."
"A large batch..." Aunt Liu was a little confused, "Here, old lady, I see that there are only a few customers who want to drink. Will brewing in a large batch not be sold?"
Tang Zangyue shook his head, "I have my own magic tricks."
Aunt Liu said no more words.
After arriving at Xiao's house, Xiao Zhonglu and Xiao Zhongli happened to lead their long-term workers back.
Xiao Zhongli lamented, "With more people, things can be done faster. Grandma, if you tell us about the yard halfway up the mountain, we can clean it up in the afternoon."
"Don't panic, dig a bigger cellar."
"Dig a cellar?"
Tang Zangyue nodded, "Your aunt talked about wine making today, and I thought it could also be a profitable business."
She didn't plan to sell too much. To brew a large amount of wine, she needed a way to sell it on the surface, but in reality, she just kept it in the space.
Xiao Zhongli nodded, "Okay. I guess it will be completed a few days later."
Tang Zangyue asked Xiao Zhongli to take his time and not be in a hurry.
She started planning a bakery.
There are mostly livestock in the backyard. If the bread kiln is built in the backyard, it is easy for the smell to spread. As for the front yard, there is only some space on the south side of the kitchen.
After drawing up the blueprint, she started to work on it herself and asked Wang Xiaoliu and Daniu to help her.
Wang Xiaoliu had a lot of chores, so it was actually Daniel who spent most of his time doing the dirty work.
