Husband and wife are hot on the kang

"Remember." Shi Hongda took out two more banknotes: "This is the money for selling wild pig belly. One pork belly is 400 taels, and the other is 600 taels. The total is 3000 taels."

"Then deposit another 2000 taels, and change the remaining 1000 taels into bank notes at the bottom of the box, and then pass on some emergencies." Yu Liangji took the bank notes and put them together with the previous package, and there were 7000 taels in it.

He put the 1000 taels of silver in his cash box, leaving Liu Wenxi with 500 taels, enough to spend.

"No!" After putting away the money, Yu Liangji suddenly remembered.

"What's wrong?" Shi Hongda didn't know what he thought of, and took out the money again.

"Let me tell you..." Yu Liangji told him about Fu Dazhuzi, and then concluded by himself: "I don't think he has good intentions. We can't take the money from selling wild boar belly."

"I can't take it if I hit it?" Shi Hongda was not happy. If the wild boar didn't have him, those who followed him would really only be able to "hehe", okay?

"You can ask for it, but what if Fu Dazhuzi yells about it? It's a lot of money!" Yu Liangji knew from the memory of the original owner that the people in Shibalipu didn't make much money all year round. And the wild boar belly is worth as much as 3000 taels!

Such a large amount of money is enough to make the villagers "hehe" to their Yu family, okay?

Living here, if you don't have a good relationship with the villagers, you can't do it. They can't ask for this money!

"Then what do you want to do?" Shi Hongda knows that money touches people's hearts. The reason why no one in the Yu family dares to touch it is because Yu Juren has fame and fame, and the other is that the Yu family's money comes from the court's rewards!

"Talk this matter to the old village chief, and then we will share the money, 200 taels per household, and the rest will be yours." Yu Liangji calculated with bright eyes: "But Fu Dazhuzi's family doesn't want it." Yes, he has bad intentions, don't let the old village chief speak out, and the people who gave the money don't say anything, everyone will make a fortune in silence."

"Oh?" Shi Hongda was not happy to share the money like this, he also did not expect that the two wild boar stomachs were so valuable, but there were a lot of "boils" on them, and the price given by the other party was not low.

"If he doesn't do anything else, we won't say a word. If he dares to pour dirty water on us, hehehe, the whole village can prove it!" Yu Liangji snorted. If you don't get any benefits, you will die.

"But is it really okay to give this money away?" Shi Hongda was worried: "As the saying goes, Sheng Mi's kindness fights Mi's hatred."

"What you said is also reasonable, but if you think about it, everyone will think that you have brought them wealth after sharing the money, and our family did not embezzle the money privately, which is enough to prove that we are heart-to-heart with the villagers , Our family has suddenly become rich, even though they are very ordinary, but haven't you noticed? They don't walk around with our family very much. "

It's more than just not moving around anymore. If they didn't perform so well in the autumn hunting, Chef Huang would stand up to unload the pork and divide the meat after he came back, and he had to be lean meat. They sent things over, so there was an intersection .

"Well, you can do whatever you want." It's just a little money, and Shi Hongda doesn't want to disagree with him, and some people know that the belly of a wild boar is worth money, and the village will know about it sooner or later.

Yu Liangji wrote a list of gifts, but in fact there were nothing valuable. The moon cakes made by Mrs. Huang at home are must-haves, as well as his licorice apricots. It is not easy to eat apricots at this time, and Shi Hongda went to When he was in the county seat, he would buy two jars of Laobaigan. The wild pork was almost eaten by the family, so he didn't go to town, but he wrote two pieces of the wild rabbit skin he bought.

Two of his own little roosters also came. Although this kind of gift looks like a lot, it is really not much money. He doesn't want people to think that he is bribing the county magistrate.

The head of the mountain is an elder, but his status is not as good as that of the magistrate. Yu Liangji gave the magistrate two more geese as gifts than the head of the county.

As for the gifts for the two classmates, there are two jars of old white gans and two more rice papers than those given to the head of the mountain.

After finishing talking about things at night, he rested. Early the next morning, after breakfast, Shi Hongda went out again, but Yu Liangji didn't follow. There was no way, he couldn't ride a horse!

The original owner can ride a horse, but he can only go for a walk. If he runs, he can't do it, let alone him!

Coupled with his poor health, Shi Hongda didn't dare to let him ride bumpy, so Yu Liangji didn't let him touch the reins at all this year.

Shi Hongda left. The things he bought yesterday were still there. Yu Liangji asked Liu Wenxi to tidy them up. He took ten yuan and five nuts mooncakes, two big geese, and a bottle of Lao Baigan. He followed behind with things. Bamu, a half-grown boy, went to the old village head's house with a jar of licorice and apricots in his arms. This was a Mid-Autumn Festival gift he prepared for the old village head.

When he arrived, the old village head's gate was open, and now the weather was getting colder, and the family was peeling corn to dry.

At that time, in order to grab the autumn harvest, the corn was broken off directly with the skin. Now it is necessary to clean it up again.

"Is Xiao Juren here?" Seeing Yu Liangji coming to the door in person, the old village chief's face became radiant, and his old face turned into a daisy: "Come in, please!"

"Say Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to the old village chief in advance." Because the next day is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will walk around one day in advance, and tomorrow I will guard my family for the festival, and I will not come out to disturb others.

"Okay, okay, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!" The old village head was very happy, and Aunt She even served him hot tea.

"This is a gift for you." After Yu Liangji sat down, Bamu carried all the things to the door. Others didn't come in, but they put them aside.

"Okay, okay, take it, take it all!" The old village chief accepted it very bluntly. He knew that Yu Liangji was not short of such things, and it was already a sign of great respect to be able to visit the door in person.

"This is the licorice apricot I researched myself, and I'll give you a fresh taste." Yu Liangji came over with the licorice apricot in his arms, just to show the old village chief, he planned to exchange this thing for pocket money for the villagers.

"Oh? Licorice and apricot?" The old village chief took the jar and pulled it open, a faint scent of apricot mixed with licorice came out.

"Yes, licorice apricot." Yu Liangji nodded with a smile.

Mrs. She came out with two pairs of chopsticks, and the old village chief picked up a licorice apricot. The apricot flesh was translucent, with a sticky and fermented smell.

"When the apricots came down, you took a lot of them back, just for this, right?" The old village chief thought of Shi Hongda going from house to house to collect apricots at that time.

"Yes!" Yu Liangji said with a smile: "Anyway, I was idle at that time. I saw that there were a lot of apricots in every family, but at that time I ate very little, and the apricots would soon go bad if I couldn't eat them. It was a waste of things. , just think of a way to get something, this is how this licorice apricot came, it was when I was rushing for the exam, I knew there was such a method when I was chatting with other candidates, I came back and checked the book, and I figured it out by myself, you have a try ,how is the taste?"

The licorice apricot has been pitted, and the old village head ate one. The apricot taste is very rich, and there is a touch of sweetness, which makes your mouth water!

"It tastes good, it tastes good! Even my old teeth can eat it, and it's sweet and sour, very appetizing." The old village head narrowed his eyes. There is no fruit to eat in Beidi at this time. Eating is also something like candied fruit.

But such things are generally expensive because honey or sugar, one of the raw materials, is an expensive thing to make no matter what it is.

"If it's a trade, the price of this jar is two taels of silver, do you think it's suitable?" Yu Liangji continued to chat with the old village chief with a smile.

"It's so suitable!" Although it seems like a lot of money to buy a meal for two silver coins, this jar looks like at least ten catties, two taels of silver for ten catties, two big coins for a catty, and candied fruit for four big coins for a catty. Still the cheapest one!

"When I bought apricots, it was only two copper coins a catty, and they were all selected. When I went back, I spent some firewood, time, and seasoning for less than a tael of silver, and made two hundred catties of apricots. , and I calculated the cost, at most ten taels of silver." Yu Liangji said while looking at the old village chief.

The old man's eyes are shining!

Sure enough, it's getting old!

"Then what do you mean?" The old village chief was a little excited, but he couldn't believe it. Who didn't hide such a good thing?Why is Xiao Juren still talking about it?

Yu Liangji laughed when he heard him ask this question.

Not long after, Yu Liangji took Bamu out of the old village chief's house, and after returning home, he went to the second house, Che's house, with gifts without stopping.

The old village chief's family had the highest status in the village, even if Yu Liangji became a juren lord, he still couldn't find it. Who would let him become the village chief when he was old, or someone who watched Yu Liangji grow up.

The old Che’s family was because Grandma Che and Grandpa Che were the oldest people in the village. Yu Liangji didn’t bring licorice and apricots, and the rest were the same as gifts for the old village head’s family.

He was the second to go to Che's house, but no one could say anything.

There were too few people in Shibalipu. There were 24 families. He didn't go to Fu's house, but went to the rest. When he finally came back, he went to the school with a generous gift.

After chatting with the two gentlemen for a while, I went home for lunch. After walking all morning, I was actually very tired, but after Yu Liangji walked around with the villagers, the sense of alienation between them was not much. He is still very happy.

In particular, he shared a share of foreign wealth.

Shi Hongda came back in the evening with a lot of things. Fortunately, he knew that there would be a gift in return when he went, so he brought Batu and Bado. The three of them rode six horses. When they came back, all three horses were dead. is something.

The first one belonged to the magistrate of the county, and what he sent was [-] catties of pork ribs, two bottles of Zhuyeqing wine that was said to be from the south, a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and two cans of this spring's good tea.

The second is Shan Chang's, a set of the Four Treasures of the Study and two new books, full of literary popularity.

The third one was given by the family of two classmates. The two families had already heard that he was going to be a filial piety, but they didn't know the exact time, so they prepared a gift. If Shi Hongda didn't come, they would send it tomorrow. The family arrived first.

The Zhou family prepared all the rice paper, two new books, and two ink ingots; the Wang family gave two new books and an inkstone.

"They are very satisfied with the gifts you sent, and they even sent greetings on their behalf, knowing that you are not in good health and don't go out often, so let you take good care of your health." Shi Hongda asked people to unload everything.

"That's good." They gave back the gift, proving that the relationship with the Yu family has not been broken. This is a good thing, especially the county magistrate, the gift he gave is the most suitable for Yu Liangji. It doesn't need to be too expensive, as long as it comes. Just go.

In addition, Shi Hongda also bought some cotton and cotton cloth to make cotton clothes for his family.

The recipients of these things are Song's mother and daughter. The two women do not interfere with other tasks all day long, but just make clothes. Yu Liangji told Liu Song not to do needlework at night, so as not to burn your eyes, and do it during the day. Take a rest for a while, and their family is not in a hurry to wear clothes, and there is no need to rush to work.

The mother and daughter have been here for more than half a year, and after getting used to it, they are no longer so nervous. Knowing that the host's family is just like what they said at the time, they are a good family, and they eat well and rest well, but their complexions have improved a lot.

Occasionally, I can show up and talk to Liu Songshi.
