An Ziqi's ancient life

Chapter 44 Tian Sheng

When the furniture in the new house was almost finished, An Liji was ready to move.Because there are not many people in the family, there is not much new furniture, and there are many empty houses.An Liji picked up a few rooms from the upper room, found a good day, and moved.

After the move, it was already in ambush, the weather was very hot, Mrs. Zhao's stomach was seven months old, and her waist had grown quite thick. An Ziqi was trembling every day, watching Mrs. Zhao at all times.He has heard that twins are often born prematurely, and it is normal to give birth at seven or eight months.

In the previous life, there was a hospital, and caesarean section was also available. This is ancient times!First, there is no safe delivery room, and second, there is no skilled midwife, and even health and safety cannot be guaranteed.In ancient times, a woman's childbirth was all about walking around the gate of hell. An Ziqi was afraid that something might happen to her mother. Apart from going up the mountain to plant flowers and fruits every day, all the remaining supernatural powers were imported into Zhao's body.

Li Langzhong still had no news, An Ziqi was looking forward to Li Langzhong's early return, and he didn't know what delayed him.The old man looked incomprehensible, but his medical skills were really good.

Under An Ziqi's strong request, An Liji arranged a delivery room.All the things on the kang were boiled in boiling water and soaked in spirits.They had prepared clean gauze earlier, all of which had been sterilized under the supervision of An Ziqi.Before Zhao gave birth, these things had to be taken out every five days to be cleaned, disinfected, and then put back.The delivery room was also sterilized with vinegar, and then cleaned regularly, and no one was allowed to enter without permission.

"Brother!" An Zimin ran back panting with a red face, and the puppies obediently followed behind An Zimin.

An Ziqi has trained the dogs well, and they will patrol the mountains on time.

The fruit trees on the mountain were already bearing fruit, but fortunately, no one knew what kind of trees were on the mountain, otherwise they would have been terrified.The backyard of their house was next to the top of the hill, and An Ziqi purposely planted a circle of pepper trees around the top of the hill. They were so capable that even those mischievous kids didn't dare to intrude into their territory.The thorns of the pepper tree are no joke.

The wasteland around the house was also cleared out bit by bit by An Liji, and then An Ziqi would "pull back" an ox cart from outside the village, and plant a fruit tree in front of the villagers. As long as it is well managed, a large number of fruits will fall on the tree every year.

There is a fruit forest behind their house, and a bluestone path leads to the gate of their new house amidst the greenery. On both sides of the road, An Ziqi specially planted a lot of elegant flowers and trees.Now their home is completely a paradise.

An Ziqi planted a piece of grapes in front of the yard, and the grape trellis was just right for enjoying the cool air, because it was close to the branch of the Qinghe River, and their house was also very cool in summer.Now Mrs. Zhao is watched closely by the family, and her favorite thing to do is to shake a cattail fan under the grape trellis and eat some pastries.

"Why are you running so fast?" An Ziqi wiped An Zimin's sweat. Now that An Zimin took over the task of running with the puppies, An Ziqi was very excited every day.

"Brother! Today I took No. [-] and them to the mountain. Many fruit trees on the mountain are bearing fruit! I can eat the fruit after a few months." An Zimin would go up the mountain every day to see the fruit trees, and then shed water on the tender fruits. Drooling, the puppies are just like An Zimin, An Ziqi looked funny.

"Yeah, the fruit is not yet ripe, so don't spoil it." Although An Ziqi can let the fruit ripen directly, it would be a great pleasure to be known, so he still devotes himself to changing the variety, striving for The fruit that ripens in the future is big and delicious.

An Ziqi asked An Zimin to take a good rest, and then accompanied An Liji to collect soybeans.Their two acres of sandy land planted soybeans, and it was almost ready to harvest at this time.

An Liji got ready for his outfit, An Ziqi followed his father's example and got ready. Da Hua had already stood aside, ready to pull the cart.Xiao Hua is free-ranging now, that cow likes to follow the dog's butt up the mountain, and will never come down every day before dark, and An Ziqi will also let it go.

"Father, after planting this crop of soybeans, what shall we plant next?" An Ziqi struggled to pick up the soybeans, and he was now working hard to learn how to be a farmer.

"This soil is still not good, but it can grow peanuts." An Liji sent a large bundle of soybeans to the bullock cart while answering An Ziqi's question.He was very reluctant to have An Ziqi come to help him, but An Ziqi insisted, so An Liji didn't say anything.

"Peanuts..." An Ziqi thought of all kinds of peanut products he had eaten, and his saliva almost flowed out.

After a busy day for the two, the soybeans were dried on the drying ground.There is a public drying yard in the village. An Ziqi didn't want to crowd with the villagers, so his family built one by themselves.When the soybeans are dried in the sun, if you pat them lightly with a bamboo pole, the pods will split open by themselves.An Ziqi actually prefers tender beans, but farmers think that picking unripe grains is a waste of crops.An Ziqi could only quietly give birth to some tender beans, while An Ziqin helped cook the salted beans.An Liji could only shake his head when he knew it.

"Sister, what are you eating today?" An Ziqi fetched water from the well, poured it from head to tail, and walked to the kitchen with water all over his face.

After An Liji and the others left, he also fetched a bucket of water, splashed it on, and then went into the house wet to change clothes.

When Mrs. Zhao saw this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at both father and son, "Can't you be more particular?"

An Liji scratched his head, hehe giggled.After seeing An Ziqi do this, he also scolded An Ziqi, and later tried it himself, it was too cool and comfortable, so he didn't say anything, and sometimes he helped An Ziqi cover up.

An Ziqi went to the kitchen and found that his sister was making stewed pork knuckles, his face collapsed again.

"Sister, it's pig's feet again!" An Ziqi was frightened of pig's feet.I don't know where An Liji heard that pig's feet are good for pregnant women. Their family has been eating pig's feet soup for a month.

An Ziqin looked at his younger brother amusedly, "Go and change the wet clothes first, there will be a small stove in the pot later."

"Sister is the best!" An Ziqi blew a kiss to his sister, and went into the room to change clothes.

"Brother, Big Brother Tian is here. He's here to get the goods." An Ziqi had just walked out the door when An Zimin came to look for him.

An Ziqi walked towards the gate.

A carriage was parked at the gate, and a young man in his 20s stood beside him, cupping his hands at An Ziqi.

"Brother Tian, ​​don't be too polite, come in first." An Ziqi led him to the living room, which was a special place for receiving guests in the front of the courtyard, and then directed An Zimin to make tea.

"Goro, I won't say more, I'll give you the bonus of the last batch of goods first." Tian Sheng took out the banknote from his sleeve.

An Ziqi looked at it, and it was a total of 500 taels, so he nodded and accepted it.Xiufang used up all the money in his hand, and it happened that Tian Sheng sent a start-up capital.

Speaking of which, knowing Tian Sheng was also accidental.At that time, An Ziqi really didn't want to go to Hualiu Street to sell his goods, so he wandered around the town.I just happened to walk to the entrance of the only two makeup shops in the town.I found that there were many people watching the fun, so I went to listen to it for a gossip.

After listening for a long time, and with the explanation from a good person, An Ziqi probably understood the whole story.

It turned out that the young owner of the makeup shop was named Tian Sheng, and his father Tian Dong had some ancestral skills in making makeup, so he opened a makeup shop in the county.But later, a new shop selling cosmetics was opened near their house. That shop had some backers, so they just suppressed Tian's shop and invited people to make trouble in the shop, making them unable to do business. They also wanted their family to make cosmetics recipe.

This secret recipe can't be given to others casually, and the ancestral craftsmanship can't be leaked to outsiders, Tian Dong is desperately unwilling to sell the recipe.The owner of the makeup shop saw that it didn't make sense, so he hired hooligans to beat up the three members of Tian's family.Tian Sheng's mother was originally in poor health, but after being frightened like this, she became seriously ill and passed away within a few days.

As soon as his mother left, his father also became depressed.Tian Sheng was originally a wealthy young man who was ignorant of the world, but now his mother is dead and his father is sick. Although he usually doesn't care much about family affairs, he can only grit his teeth to support the family when it comes to this.He originally wanted to sue the officials, but before the pleadings were handed over to the magistrate, he was framed for stealing other people's secret recipes, and he was punished and thrown into prison.

His father dragged his sick body and went bankrupt to fish Tian Sheng out of prison. Fang Zi could only send him up with tears in his eyes, which saved Tian Sheng's life.The father and son sold the shop in the county seat, and then came to Qingshan Town, where they opened a small shop and continued to buy cosmetics.

But his father's illness was even more serious, and he hadn't studied his own craft seriously, so the makeup he made was very poor, and even if he did it poorly, he could barely maintain his life in the town, and his father endured it for a few more months before leaving.

Tian Sheng thought that life would go on like this, but who knew that a so-called clan uncle suddenly appeared, saying that he didn't know anything about business, cosmetics, etc., and wanted to take away the management right of his shop.Tian Sheng didn't know this person at all, so how could he let the shop go out, not to mention his family was so miserable in the county town, and he didn't see any uncles coming to help, so he started arguing.

An Ziqi saw the scene of their quarrel.

The clan uncle of Tian Sheng also produced a genealogy to prove that they are indeed relatives, but Tian Sheng's father was a share that had been separated long ago. People here can really come and participate.Tian Sheng couldn't tolerate his own shop being touched by others, so he agreed to run the shop within a time limit, otherwise he would give up the right to run the shop. After the operation was completed, these relatives would not need to worry about it.The clan uncle was satisfied and left.He knew that Tian Sheng couldn't do makeup well at all, so he dared to agree to this.

After the uncle left, Tian Sheng became at a loss. He used to look down on his father for doing this, and it was perfunctory for his father to let him learn from him, but now let alone revenge for his parents, even the last shop his father left I can't keep it.

An Ziqi, who had seen enough of the drama, walked in. An hour later, An Ziqi walked out satisfied, and Tian Sheng was also inexplicably excited.An Ziqi kept the goods in his hand, and agreed that Tian Sheng would go directly to his house to pick up the goods next time, and they would divide them according to [-]%.

An Ziqi provided Tian Sheng with enough goods, and Tian Sheng was responsible for selling them in the shop.I also invited people to witness that the deed was written.

An Ziqi sold out all the goods hoarded at home in one fell swoop. Taking advantage of the good season, he and his father seized the opportunity to go up the mountain and brought back a large number of flowers, and made different hair oils according to different types. Facial fat, rouge.He also asked Tian Sheng to analyze their family's secret recipe.Tian Sheng was not afraid that An Ziqi would learn it, because An Ziqi's things were obviously better than his.The two studied together for a long time, and An Ziqi's knowledge of half a jar of water insisted on pointing out a lot of details in the recipe and improved the recipe.

Tian Sheng was even more grateful, and even gave An Ziqi [-]% of the dry stock from the powder shop.An Ziqi accepted it without any pressure, and he knew how valuable the improved prescription was.

After groping, Tian Sheng quickly mastered this craft. After all, his family is in this business, and the shop has also made money, so he hired workers and set up a small workshop, specializing in the production of rouge and gouache.Of course, he still held the key points in his own hands, and the products he made were better than when his father was alive.Later, his uncle came again, and finally left with a long face.

After Tian Sheng was able to make good products himself, he still didn't give up on the products of An Ziqi's family, because no matter what he did, he couldn't make An Ziqi's as good as they were, which made him very puzzled.Obviously the steps are the same, it can only be attributed to character.Therefore, he still comes here regularly to pick up goods.An Ziqi's goods are the most expensive and most popular in his shop, and the quantity is still limited, which makes the ladies and wives of those rich families flock to them.Using Tian Ji's makeup powder has even become a trend among wealthy families, and those who are useless will be despised. Tian Ji's makeup powder has become even more popular.

Tian Sheng is also smart, specially packaged these good goods, and gave them to the wives and young ladies of rich families for free, so that these wives and young ladies will think that he is very interesting, and then give the husband and father some advice, Tian Sheng I made friends with some people so that he would not be so passive.If his father had more friends who he could talk to, he wouldn't have fallen to that point.

Tian Sheng vowed that he would re-open the powder shop back to the county, the prefecture, and even the capital, and he would never let anyone who took away his family's prescription and harmed his parents.However, there is no hurry now, take your time and take it step by step.

"Nephew Tian is here! It's just that our family is having dinner, so stay for dinner." An Liji also came out.

"Uncle An." Tian Sheng bowed to An Liji. When he and An Ziqi huddled together to study the formula, he was already familiar with the An family, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"Why so many salutes? Get up." An Liji stopped Tian Sheng's salute.

"Okay, I won't be too polite." Tian Sheng picked up the tea and drank it, oh, the tea from Wulang's house is better than his.

"Father, didn't you see that Big Brother Tian came here at this hour on purpose? How can he not know when our family eats?" An Ziqi said angrily.

Tian Sheng was exposed, and blushed, "Is your food delicious? Sister Ziqin's cooking skills are good, and aunt's cooking skills are even better." Tian Sheng quickly praised people.

"Tch, Brother Tian is a flatterer." An Zimin pouted, dissatisfied.

"Good Zimin, my brother brought you sugar figurines and some snacks." Tian Sheng couldn't hold his elder brother's face any longer.

"My family doesn't have a heart." An Zimin turned her head and walked to the side with a big food box.

The numbers had already put away the food bowls and squatted in a row, looking at An Zimin eagerly.Little master, eat quickly.

An Zimin shook his head, opened the food box, and there were snow-white snacks inside, "Don't eat too much at night, one piece for each person, and eat the rest tomorrow." An Zimin put a piece of snacks in each basin.

Tian Sheng held up the snacks he bought in his hand, and looked at them eagerly, "Zi Min, can I exchange the ones I have with you?"

"Ask them! It belongs to my dogs."

"I'll exchange one bag for one piece, okay?" Tian Sheng looked at the numbers pitifully.

"Woof!"

"Pfft," An Zimin smiled unkindly, "They don't want to, I can't make up my own mind." After An Zimin finished speaking, he put away the snacks.

Tian Sheng was suddenly depressed.

"Wow, woof, woof!" The puppies ran back to their den proudly.
