Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

Jiang Luorou found a ball of hemp rope and held a small box full of copper coins. Excitedly, I came to the table and sat down and started counting the coins one by one. When I had counted 1000 coins, I tied a knot with a hemp rope and put it aside.

It didn't take long for Jiang Luorou to wear two and a half strings of copper coins. Jiang Luorou felt happy when she saw the copper coins in front of her. Even though the money was not much, this was the first time she had earned it with her own hands. Money is equivalent to the first salary, can you not be excited?

Jiang Luorou then took an ink stick and ground it to make some ink. Then she took a piece of hemp paper and a brush. She picked up the brush and dipped an appropriate amount of ink into it to draw something on the paper. After a while, Jiang Luorou put down the brush, picked up the piece of paper and looked at it carefully. She nodded with satisfaction, folded it and put it in the space, and then put away the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Jiang Luorou turned her eyes to those copper coins again, and couldn't get enough of them. She simply hugged the two and a half strings of copper coins and went to sleep on her small bed. Jiang Luorou held the coins in her arms and fell asleep unknowingly, imagining how rich she would be in the future, and giggled from time to time.

The night passed quietly like this, when it was just dawn.

Jiang Luorou woke up early and looked at the time. She had already thought about sleeping for a while, and began to think of the sweet dream she had last night. Jiang Luorou's whole body was as excited as if she had been injected with chicken blood, and she couldn't sleep at all.

In desperation, I could only put on my clothes and put the copper coins I wore yesterday into the space.

I pushed the door open and walked out. I saw that the sky was still blue. It seemed a little early to make breakfast.

Turning around, he saw a pile of dirty clothes that he had changed out yesterday, so he simply took out a wooden basin, soap locust and washboard and went outside the door.

I fetched a few buckets of water from the well in the courtyard and started washing clothes. Jiang Luorou bent over and scrubbed the clothes in her hands, silently thinking that it would be nice to have a washing machine.

When a hint of fish belly white slowly appeared in the eastern sky, Jiang Luorou also hung the washed clothes to dry on the hemp rope in the middle of the yard.

After drying the clothes, Jiang Luorou took the cows to the cowshed outside the gate and prepared enough fodder.

He turned around and went to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast. The children also woke up from their sleep. After changing their clothes, they went to the middle of the yard to prepare for washing.

Seeing this, Jiang Luorou quickly called to Ning Zicheng: "Zicheng, don't wash yourself with cold water when the weather gets colder. Mom left hot water for you, come and get it."

After washing up, the children and Jiang Luorou gathered around the table to eat.

After breakfast, Jiang Luorou prepared a bucket of feed water and drank the cattle.

I started to make preparations before setting up the stall, washing vegetables, chopping green onions...

Jiang Luorou prepared everything, and Ning Xiaoliu also had breakfast early and was waiting at the door.

Jiang Luorou carefully checked the contents of the oxcart and saw that nothing was left behind, so she locked the door and rushed to the county seat with her four children.

After Jiang Luorou arrived in the county town, she was not in a hurry to set up a stall. She went to a grocery store and bought a large round chopping board and a small scale. She saw packing paper and rope nearby and bought some too. .

Then he went to a blacksmith shop and saw a mighty, muscular middle-aged man banging the iron in his hand.

After Jiang Luorou entered the blacksmith shop, she took out the drawings she drew last night from her arms and started chatting with the blacksmith.

Blacksmith: May I ask if your wife is here to make a hoe? Or forging a sickle and ax or something? "

Jiang Luorou unfolded the folded blueprint and handed it to the blacksmith and said politely: "Boss, I want you to build me the thing drawn on the blueprint. I wonder if the boss can build it?"

The blacksmith curiously looked at the drawing for a long time, raised his head and said to Jiang Luorou: "Madam, the thing you made is so strange, I have never seen it before. It has aroused my interest, and I am willing to give it a try. Dare I ask what's going on? The round hole is as big as the lady needs it to be."

Jiang Luorou thought for a moment after hearing this, then found a small wooden stick of suitable thickness from the tree outside and handed it to the blacksmith and said: "Just make it as thick as this branch, just three inches long or short." .The length of this box should be about 20 inches, and the width should be about 11 inches."

After hearing Jiang Luorou's request, the blacksmith thought for a moment and said to Jiang Luorou: "I can make what you need, but your thing is too strange, and no one else will buy it except you. If you don't come to pick it up by then, wouldn't it be a huge loss for me to combine the workmanship and materials? Well, I'll charge you 5 taels of silver for this thing with the workmanship and materials.

You just need to take out 3 taels of silver as a deposit first, and you can just come and pick up the things in three days. If Madam is really worried about me, Lao Niu, we will go to the scholar at the front to make a written note. If I don't accept the account, you can go to the Yamen to sue me. "

After saying that, Jiang Luoren and blacksmith Lao Niu came to the scholar's side to explain their purpose. He signed the receipt, signed his name and pressed his fingerprints. He left three taels of silver and turned around to leave.

Suddenly remembering that he still needed a handy weapon, he asked again, "Brother Niu, can you make weapons?"

Blacksmith Lao Niu's expression changed when he heard this, and he thought to himself: Could it be that this girl knows my identity and brought such a strange thing just to test me? Hey, you shouldn't have agreed to this deal on the spur of the moment and just about to talk about it.

Jiang Luorou saw the sudden change in blacksmith Lao Niu's face and wondered if what she said had scared him. Now that the border is not stable, making weapons is a serious crime. Who dares to take on this stupid job?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly explained: "Brother Niu, I think you have misunderstood something. I often go hunting in the mountains and can throw stones very accurately. But when I encounter large prey, I am helpless, so I want to make a few convenient flying knives. Hunting, if Brother Niu has any difficulties, just pretend that I didn’t say anything." He walked out the door.

After seeing Jiang Luorou walk away, the blacksmith Lao Niu fell down on his chair and exhaled a long breath. He calmly pretended to be normal and was making a hoe in the blacksmith shop.

Jiang Luorou didn't stop much after coming out of the blacksmith shop. She drove the bullock cart to the place where the stall was set up yesterday and set up a stall.

Like yesterday, after rolling out all the potato flour, boil the corn, and put the large pot of fat sausage braised yesterday on the stove to heat. It didn't take long for the aroma of braised pork to spread around.

A woman with a child passed by on the street. The child was so greedy when he smelled the fragrance that he hurriedly pulled his mother towards this side.

The woman came forward with her child and took a look at the contents of the pot. Then she turned around and left. The child smelled the fragrance and refused to leave, clamoring for food.

The woman could only patiently explain: "The pig intestines are fishy and bitter. I'll buy you some candied haws."
