Husband and wife are hot on the kang

Yu Liangji picked out some dried kelp, dried shrimps and seaweed, and he bought a lot, all of which cost five catties.

"Why buy so much?" Shi Hongda didn't want him to carry it, so he had to carry it all in his hand.

"Let's go, let's keep it for Lao Qi and the others to eat. When we had dinner yesterday, I saw that their family's life here was not easy." Five, their family, dressed very plainly, with concealed patches on the neckline and cuffs of their clothes, trying to make the patches look natural. Although they tried to control their meals when eating, the chopsticks still used to be used more often.

When he came to buy things in the morning, he realized that the consumption in this place must be too high. A good job in the county government is barely enough to make ends meet here.

No wonder they know how to do handicrafts, at least they can go out to do part-time jobs when they are not around, and the daughter-in-law who is an embroiderer and the daughter who learns embroidery can do it without delaying the housekeeping. idle.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Yu Liangji came from modern times. In his era, not to mention that everyone had money to earn, at least everyone had enough money.

In this era, it’s a bit unbearable. Although the time traveler worked hard, but his life is only a hundred years, no matter how hard he tries, time waits for no one. It is already very good that his successor can continue his footsteps. If the education is not good , maybe even a fool!

"You can raise their wages a little bit, the place here is bigger than the place in the county." Shi Hongda thought for a while, and it is indeed wrong to use the wages of the county to measure the prefecture.

"Then double it. I'll see if the two gentlemen win this time, let them move in next year, live in the East and West College, and study at Northeast College by the way." Yu Liangji immediately made a plan. : "When the eight candidates come over, they will live in the east and west rooms of the Erjin courtyard. That place is big enough."

And the principal house, of course, was left to them.

"Okay, it's all up to you." Shi Hongda carried his things and walked with him on the way back, walking around, and it was noon, and they were coming back for dinner.

When they got home, all the Qi family members were there, helping to carry things. Seeing that they had bought so much, they were a little dazed. Did they want to eat seafood?

"This is 100 taels of silver. We have bought some food these few days. We must eat a lot here." Shi Hongda directly gave Qi Wu 100 taels of silver, the same as when he was in the county.

Qi Wu is smart, he is more thorough than Chen Hongyi, he understands everything, and said: "Yesterday, I already know the taste of the young master, don't worry, I know all the taboos."

"Yeah." Shi Hongda nodded: "Soak the dried shrimp, and put two of them in the steamed egg custard."

"Understood, Peony Shrimp, delicious food, and the little master's food is also exquisite." Qi Wuke answered the words neatly.

Shi Hongda finally nodded in satisfaction and left, he was also a smart man.

Since then, the Qi family has known the two masters. The one who has the final say will always be the elder master, but the one who has to serve will always be the young master, then the young master who has never been masked, and finally the elder master.

The owner's family is good, they don't bother people, and they are more generous.

People came back one after another and bought some things. Liu Wenxi even sent half a piece of pork over, as well as a slaughtered mutton sheep and fifty catties of beef.

Needless to say, the mutton and beef selected by Ba's father and son are definitely good sheep and cattle.

The meal at noon is two rice, six dishes, stir-fried mutton, braised beef, fried shredded potatoes and black and white vegetables, and cucumbers. Cucumbers must be expensive in this season!

The last fried bean sprouts powder is refreshing and smooth, and it is also Yu Liangji's favorite taste.

A large pot of seaweed soup, each a small bowl of peony shrimp, Yu Liangji was very surprised: "I will make this again!"

"Yes!" Shi Hongda gave him a spoon, "Taste it!"

There are also shrimps at home, but they are not so big. It’s okay to make soup, cook wontons and the like, but peony shrimps for steamed eggs are not good enough, they are not big enough!

Shi Hongda made a note of this point, and when he was leaving, at worst, someone would send some more here, and he would come over again in a few days, and then take it back.

After eating a good meal, moving around so as not to accumulate food, I turned around and took a nap for a while, got up, washed my face, and walked out the door.

Just saw Lin Jie and Hong Zetao.

"Shouldn't it be time to read a book now?" Lin Jie smiled as he watched Yu Juren wandering in the yard.

"Don't watch." Yu Liangji vetoed it straight away. "Why?"

It's been a morning of strolling, why don't you read a book now?

"You two are too tense now, relax, if you don't relax during the exam, you two will be disconnected!" Yu Liangji reasoned with them: "Relax now, it's not too late to be nervous during the exam, if you are nervous now, you will be nervous during the exam." You two are prone to disconnection when you're in, you know?"

When he can't see it?These two people were thinking about something. When they came back from shopping, everyone else bought something, but the two of them didn't. It wasn't that they didn't have money, but that they didn't want to buy anything at all, and they didn't have that much leisure!

In the past two years, Yu Liangji has given them a lot of money for Shuxiu, and the farm is basically self-sufficient in things like eating, drinking and drinking.

What about relaxing?

There is no relaxation at all.

Lin Jie's brows have never been raised this way, and they always make do together!

And Hong Zetao, that fist is always open, hold, open, hold, why can't anyone see it?

The two laughed at what he said.

"Qi Wu! Qi Wu!" Yu Liangji opened his throat and shouted.

"Hey!" Qi Wu ran out slowly: "Here, little master, do you have something to order?"

"Go and buy six large vats and come back!" Yu Liangji took out his wallet and counted out ten taels of silver, thinking that he didn't know how much each big vat cost: "I'll give you ten taels of silver, if you get more money, you'll get a refund."

"Okay!" Although it was strange, what did the little master want a big vat for?But Qi Wu is not a talkative person, this is the first day we meet, so do whatever he asks you to do!

So he took his two boys to the market, picked six large vats of the same height and thickness, and had them tied up and delivered to the door.

Yu Liangji took the two of them for a walk, what were they doing?chat!

"In the future, I will live here for the two of you. It just so happens that one will live in the East Courtyard and the other will live in the West Courtyard..." He detailed his plan and what Shi Hongda had said, expressing that both of them are very supportive They take the imperial examination.

In the past two years, Yu Liangji has also been able to see that these two people are not the kind of guys who just go out for tea. help.

He himself lived in a very good house, and during the three years of mourning, except for two classmates, the rest of the people were cut off. That's fine, he wasn't the original owner in the first place, and the fewer people he knew, the better.

But it doesn’t work, you have to have friends in life, right?Qin Hui also has three best friends!Sure enough, after he said so much, the two of them were very moved, and they almost asked Yu Liangji for help, which made Yu Liangji laugh out loud.

The water tank was bought back and has been cleaned by someone.

And at this time, someone came to the door.

The first one to come over was the old man who delivered the tomatoes. Yu Liangji readily picked them up and pulled them. There were indeed six skinny and small green tomatoes inside, and they were tender green.

"This old man is too fussy, how can he use raw persimmons to make up the number?" Liu Wenxi became angry when he saw it, how could he fool their young master?

"No, this green persimmon is what I want!" Yu Liangji disagreed, shaking his head and taking a few shriveled green persimmons back to the house like babies.

Liu Wenxi was dumbfounded: "...!"

Shi Hongda was thoughtful.

After Liu Wenxi came to his senses, he ran in immediately: "Master, you can't eat raw persimmons, they will be poisoned!"

"I won't eat, and you are not allowed to move!" Yu Liangji yelled in the room: "No one is allowed to move!"

The second one came was the couple who delivered the mountain goods. They were a little afraid of the appearance of such a wealthy family, but the things were good. Qi Wu had sharp eyes, and he saw that everything was good, and he kept secretly laughing. .

Mountain goods are very expensive, and they cost 58 taels of silver!

Shi Hongda directly gave 60 two integers: "The rest is considered as a reward for you. In the future, if you have such a good product, don't go out and sell it. Send it here directly."

Since Xiao Juren likes it, he can send it here. There is no place to sell it in the county, but there will always be some in the prefectural city. At worst, he can bring it back by himself.

"Success, success, according to the nobleman's orders, we are also cheap!" The couple in the mountains were overjoyed, who would disagree with this good thing!

The two of them were sent away, and another group of people came to send apples!

Driving a mule cart, pulling a large cart of apples, one person drove the cart, and four people helped escort the cart. Yu Liangji had someone open the gate and let the mule cart in.

It looks like the car is not big, but it is packed full.

"Where are these going to be unloaded?" The driver was also a little dumbfounded. This place looks like a place where rich people live. So many apples, where should they be put?

Yu Liangji thought for a while: "I'll buy your mule cart together!"

other side:"……!"

In the end, Yu Liangji spent a lot of money to buy the fruit and the mule cart together, and sent them away. Qi Wu and the others still didn't realize it, little master, is this buying fruit or a cart?

The car was bought, and the mule was also bought, and it was in the yard!

"Come on, does our house have a cellar?" Yu Liangji asked Qi Wu.

"Yes, it's not far ahead. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and it's very big inside!" No matter rich or poor, every cellar in every family?

"That's good!" Yu Liangji smiled and began to direct everyone to work.

First of all, let people buy a lot of white paper and thin straw ropes to go back. First, choose the apples, and then do not wash them with water. The selected apples are wrapped in a single sheet of pure white paper and tied with straw ropes.

The six-mouth tanks that people bought were all over one meter high, and they reached Liangji's chest. They asked people to wash the big tanks first, scald them with boiling water, dry them with a dry towel, and wipe the tanks. Carry it to the cellar, pour some clean water into the big tank, and fill the bottom of the tank, then add two stones that are higher than the water, and then put a board on the stone that is about the same diameter as the bottom of the tank, and finally put The apples are arranged, covered with a layer of kraft paper, and then a wooden cover, and that's it.

This is the earliest and most effective storage method. If it is not moved, it can be stored from the golden autumn to the next March and April!

Shi Hongda didn't know if this method was useful, but he had never seen fruit stored for such a long time, it was simply impossible!

So he quietly ordered Qi Wu, "If no one comes to see this thing in March or April next year, you can pick out the things in the big tank, and throw away the things in it if they are rotten. Clean the big tank and put it away." , in case the little master comes next time, what kind of fruit do you want to pickle?"

Qi Wu: "...Understood, my lord."

The old man is too used to the young master, but the couple are happy, so he has nothing to object to. I hope that after this failure, the young master can realize his own shortcomings. It is better to eat an apple than to rot!

After tossing about the apples, it was already dark. After dinner, Yu Liangji said to Shi Hong with a smile before going to bed: "This time, the two of them will definitely not be nervous!"

Shi Hongda pinched his face: "I've been working all afternoon, so I'm not nervous anymore!"

Xiao Ju was playing tricks, asking Lin Jie to carry the apple, and Hong Zetao to tie the rope. Lin Jie was exhausted, and Hong Zetao was sweating profusely!

If Lin Jie tied the rope for these two people, they must be ingenious; if Hong Zetao was to carry the apples, they would definitely not feel bad!

However, Yu Liangji lost his height!

This is the way Yu Juren gave them both to relax before the exam. Although it was very tiring, the effect was good.
