(If you have short signing stations, you can go there with your investment!)
Zhangjia Village is Zhang Yueniang’s mother’s home.
Grandpa Zhang Damao, eldest brother Zhang Hei, and second brother Zhang Shun all live in Zhangjia Village. As soon as they entered the village, the villagers in Zhangjia Village recognized Zhang Yueniang and greeted Zhang Yueniang one by one. Zhang Yueniang responded one by one and then returned to his father's house.
"father!"
When my daughter shouts, my father usually appears.
"Yue Niang, why are you back?" Zhang Damao walked out with a smile, holding the wooden hammer in his hand.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Yue Niang was also very happy to see her father.
"Ah, Xia Geng is about to be there. I will repair the plow at home. By the way, Yue Niang, have you eaten? If you don't eat, let your mother cook for you." Zhang Damao smiled and welcomed his daughter into the yard.
Yue Niang smiled and said, "I've eaten it right, Dad is for you." Then Yue Niang took out a knife of mutton from the bamboo basket she was carrying, weighing about five pounds, which was the hind leg of the sheep.
Zhang Damao saw it and quickly smiled, "Oh, this costs a lot of copper coins. I heard from Heizi that your family has been getting better recently. It seems that what this kid said is true."
"Haha!" Yue Niang smiled and led by Zhang Damao into the house.
"Where is Mom?" Yue Niang saw that there was no one at home.
"I went to dig the sarcastic herbs and I could blanch it in water!" Zhang Damao hung up the mutton and said with a smile: "Now, there is meat to be eaten tonight. Your nephews are going to be crazy."
Looking at his father's happy look, Yue Niang smiled and said, "Dad, you should eat more, don't worry about the child, you also need some oil and water."
"I know!" Zhang Damao squatted in front of the threshold and looked at his daughter with a smile.
At this moment, a surprise voice came from outside: "Sister is back!"
The voice made Yue Niang happy: "Is it Shunzi?"
"Sister!" Yue Niang's second brother Zhang Shun walked into the house with a smile and said, "I haven't left the house yet, but I heard that you are back. As soon as I heard that you are back, I came immediately. Sure enough, the eldest sister is back. Don't leave tonight, I will go down the river to fish."
"Don't bother to come here to eat in the evening. Your elder sister brought the mutton back and asked your family to come and eat meat." Zhang Damao laughed.
"There is mutton, my sister brought it. My God, it's so good!" Zhang Shun smiled happily.
After a while, at Yue Niang's request, Zhang Shun called back both Zhang Hei and Yue Niang's mother's two sisters-in-laws. At this time, Yue Niang finally told the truth about her return home this time.
"Dad, my family Zhan'er, didn't you come up with a prescription some time ago to cure Heizi's diseased cow. Didn't you expect that this prescription is really amazing. In more than a month, I earned more than 70 chunks of money for my family."
"More than seventy cents?" Everyone present took a breath. At this time, Yue Niang's family still didn't know that Yue Niang's family had built a courtyard house.
Although Zhangjia Village and Zhuqiao Village are only a dozen miles away, you should know that the ancients did not have fast moving tools, and their news was very closed. The farthest distance in their life would not exceed 100 miles. Therefore, the Zhang family did not know that the Li family had made a big profit with Li Zhan's prescription.
"I knew that the prescription was valuable. It was blood malaria. It would definitely make money if cured. Dad, look at what I said, my brother-in-law's family is getting better slowly." Zhang Hei said with bright eyes.
"Oh my god, this is not a good thing. This is a fortune. I asked why my sister brought the mutton back." Zhang Shun looked at Yue Niang in surprise.
"Haha, so now our family has built a house, which costs fifty cents." Yue Niang said proudly.
"Oh my god, a fifty-ton house would be so big."
The two sisters-in-law on the side showed envious expressions together.
However, at this moment, Yue Niang smiled and said, "Don't be envious of you, you can live in a house of fifty cents. The purpose of my return home this time is to Zhan'er, my eldest son.
He said he hoped that grandpa, uncle and second uncle could come to my house to help, and he would have to do a big deal, and he lacked manpower.
He would give his grandfather, uncle and second uncle a month a month to two cents of money, and he would also provide food and accommodation."
"Oh my Tian Zhan'er is so good." Yue Niang finished speaking, her two sister-in-law showed a surprise expression and quickly praised Li Zhan loudly.
However, Yue Niang's mother looked at Yue Niang with some concern and said, "Yue Niang, isn't there too many two-man family members?"
"Why would you have more mother if you don't have too much? Don't worry, your eldest grandson is very smart, and in addition to being smart, he is also filial. I didn't even hear this, but he took the initiative to ask for helping his cousins. He knew that his cousins were not young and were going to marry.
After coming to my house, I will build your own house for you."
"All these were said by Zhan'er?" Zhang Damao raised his head and looked at Yue Niang.
"Dad, can I lie to you? If you don't believe me, go and ask Heizi, how is my Zhan'er treating him?"
"It's very good!" Zhang Hei immediately responded: "If I hadn't had my nephew, I would have jumped into the river and died. Zhan'er was very nice to me at his brother-in-law's house. Dad, Zhan'er must be sincere."
After listening to his son's words, Zhang Damao thought for a while and said, "Yue Niang Zhan'er is a good child, but two guan a month is really too high, and I can't afford food and accommodation. I feel so uneasy. Just let me go like this. I can't give it to you for a month."
Seeing his father thinking about him, Yue Niang was deeply moved. She had heard of him taking the initiative to process money, but who had seen him taking the initiative to reduce his wages? This is his family. His father was worried that his salary would be too high, which would make his family unhappy, so he took the initiative to reduce his wages.
He is a father who is completely considering his daughter.
I didn't see the two sister-in-law on the side showing disappointment, but my father smiled without regret. Maybe this is the father's love for his daughter.
Just when Zhang Yueniang reached an agreement with her parents' family, Li Dafu and Li Sheng finally returned home together. The two of them pulled a cart and dragged back a cart of wall frost. Hehe, someone asked, what is wall frost? In fact, wall frost is saltpeter. It is a white and bitter crystal, a mineral. They like to stay at the foot of low-temperature walls, and the color is like frost, so they are also called "wall frost".
Where did these saltpeters come from? They are not pharmacies or farmers. They are obtained from Taoist temples.
Taoism in the Tang Dynasty is very prosperous now. In Taoist temples, there are many Taoist priests who are obsessed with refining alchemy. They actually don’t know what saltpeter is, but saltpeter is just that which can help them refine alchemy, so they collected a lot.
