hunter's daughter-in-law

This autumn, everyone is very busy.

Handing over all the matters in the field to Yuan Zheng, Yuan Hong mainly focused on the fruit trees and fruits.After buying the mountain they were on, he also bought the nearby small hills, which were mainly used to grow fruit trees such as apples and pears.

According to the plan, they plan to make fruit wine for a long time. If the raw materials can be self-sufficient, they can save a lot of money.Especially in ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and it was not easy to preserve. It is the best choice to grow it yourself.

When the matter was almost done, Yuan Hong, Yuan Bo and Yuan Jing went to the town to bring back a large number of apples and oranges.

"Look, are these fruits okay?" Yuan Hong said to Zhang Jin who came to the side.

Zhang Jin handed Ozawa to Yuan Zhe, peeled a piece of orange and put it in his mouth, then took another bite of the apple, "Well, it's very delicious! I'm sure we can make good fruit wine!"

"It took us a long time to find this fruit seller. His variety is better, but his asking price is too high! It took us a lot of talking to get us a little cheaper." Yuan Bo remembered now Still dissatisfied.

Yuan Hong patted him on the head, "You also said that his variety is good, the more expensive it is, as long as it can produce good wine! Later, we will grow the fruit ourselves, so we don't have to spend so much money."

"That's right. Well, let's do it now while it's fresh, and you all come over to help." Zhang Jin said.

Yuan Zhe took Xiao Ze to watch, and noticed Yuan Bing (Yuan Jing's son) who was hiding aside, so he waved to him, "Xiao Bing, come here, come here."

When Yuan Bing heard someone calling him, he hid behind and secretly glanced at Yuan Zhe, then at his busy father and mother, at a loss.

"Don't be afraid, come here, you can see more clearly."

Yuan Bing hesitated for a while, and finally walked slowly to Yuan Zhe's side.

"Look, this is the young master, he is smiling at you."

Ozawa opened his mouth ignorantly.Yuan Bing stared at Ozawa curiously for a while, realized something, and immediately lowered his head again.After a while, I couldn't help but look up again.

Yuan Zhe sighed in his heart, he didn't know what he had experienced at such a young age.Thinking of the years when he was sold, Yuan Zhe's eyes darkened.

Breathing out a foul breath, Yuan Zhe smiled at Yuan Bing: "Just remember that this is the young master. Let's eat some oranges, they are delicious."

Yuan Zhe tasted one of the petals first, deliberately pretending to be delicious, and then handed a petal to Yuan Bing's mouth.Yuan Bing chewed hesitantly for a while, then swallowed, looking at him with a slightly nervous face.

"I didn't lie to you, did I, eat some more."

Yuan Bing finally relaxed a little and nodded.Holding the orange that Yuan Zhe handed him, from time to time, he turned his gaze to Ozawa with big round eyes.

Zhang Jin brewed wine according to the method he learned from his grandfather since he was a child. Fortunately, he remembered every step in detail, and processed the fruits step by step.

Because they had already prepared everything they would use, the process went smoothly.

"If there are no accidents, this wine should be a success." Zhang Jin sealed all the jars, although he didn't dare to guarantee it, but he was 80.00% sure.

"It doesn't matter if you fail, come back next year." Yuan Hong hugged Zhang Jin into his arms and sat on the rocking chair in the yard together, pinching his arm to relieve the soreness caused by fatigue.

That being said, one success is of course the best.After the fruit wine was brewed, all that was left was to wait.This time they brewed quite a lot, and they can sell it in the town at that time, to test the water first.

Zhang Jin nestled comfortably on his chest. She hadn't exercised much since giving birth to Ozawa, and she couldn't keep up with her strength. It's better to find time to exercise.

"Is it better?" Yuan Hong asked softly.

"Well, it's much better." Yuan Hong kneaded moderately. After kneading, Zhang Jin's body didn't feel so sore.

"In two days, I'll go to the town to see if there is any suitable shop." Yuan Hong said.

"I'll go too. The newspaper office has just stabilized, so we can't just leave everything to Lou Xiao." If it weren't for Lou Xiao, he might have enough headaches for someone who is not good at business.

"Master, madam, the meal is ready."

Yuan Hua (Yuan Jing's husband) came over and said respectfully.

Everyone was busy making wine, and Yuan Zhe was going to take care of the children. Yuan Hong asked Yuan Hua to stop what he was doing when the meal time was approaching, and went to cook first.

"Okay, we'll be here in a moment."

Yuan Hua withdrew after listening, he didn't talk much, he did what he was told, he didn't complain, he was honest and hardworking, the only thing was that he was too restrained.Sometimes he behaves too cautiously, making those who watch him feel a little uncomfortable.

After the meal, it was getting dark.

After washing, Zhang Jin hugged the tender Ozawa and lay down on the bed together.This little guy didn't feel sleepy at all, and he waved his little hands and feet from time to time, having a great time playing.

Zhang Jin smiled and scratched his feet, while teasing him, Ozawa kicked his legs more vigorously. Seeing someone playing with him, he was so happy that he smiled so much that he showed his pink gums.

"Haha, watch me tickle you! Are you afraid..."

Seeing Ozawa's appearance, Zhang Jin was so soft that he kissed him several times.

"Look, what is this?" Zhang Jin took out the rattle she bought in Lingang County last time, shook it a few times, and the rattle immediately rang.

Ozawa stared curiously at the rattle that kept shaking, and stretched out his little hand to grab it.

"Hehe, this belongs to my parents, don't give it to Ozawa..." Zhang Jin mischievously made Ozawa unable to catch it.

Yuan Hong just entered the room and saw such a scene, and a special warm emotion filled his heart.

After playing with him for a while, Yuan Hong took the rattle from Zhang Jin's hand and put it aside, "Okay, it's time to go to bed. I have to go to town early tomorrow."

Put Ozawa in his little bed, which Yuan Hong specially made for him. The little bed is surrounded by wooden rails to prevent the child from falling, and it can be rocked back and forth. Four wooden wheels are also installed. Can also be pushed.

"You go to bed first, and I'll go to bed after Ozawa falls asleep." Yuan Hong said to Zhang Jin.

"Okay." Zhang Jin lay down, but didn't close her eyes. Instead, she turned her body and stared at Yuan Hong's unconsciously softened face, at him gently pushing the wooden bed, and at the little girl who refused to fall asleep. Ze.

While watching, Zhang Jin unconsciously fell into sleep. After an unknown amount of time, she felt that she was being pulled into a familiar embrace, but because she was too tired, Zhang Jin just buried herself deeper without opening her eyes. no more feeling

The next day, Yuan Zhe brought breakfast to the main house, while Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong just got up.

"Master, madam, I brought the breakfast. Leave it to me, the young master. I'll feed him."

Zhang Jin put the awakened Ozawa into Yuan Zhe's arms, gave him a kiss, and then began to have breakfast.

After the "milk powder" was brewed, Yuan Zhe was feeding the child spoon by spoon, but while Xiao Ze was drinking, his eyes kept staring in the direction of Zhang Jin and Yuan Hong.

Zhang Jin grinned, "Honey, you're still too young. When you get older, you can eat the same as us."

Even though he knew that the child could not understand, Zhang Jin still enjoyed having a conversation with him.

Not long after breakfast, Yuan Bo walked in.

"My lord, the carriage is ready."

"Okay, you go first. We'll set off right away."

Seeing that things were almost packed, Yuan Hong hugged Zhang Jin who was holding the child and walked towards the carriage. Yuan Zhe followed behind with the items Ozawa wanted to use.

When he arrived at the destination, Ozawa slept very soundly.Taking the child out for the first time, Zhang Jin was worried that the child would make a fuss, but Xiao Ze was very obedient along the way, even when he woke up, he didn't cry or make trouble.

Unexpectedly, "Xiao Zhai" is very lively today, and customers crowded the door.

The carriage of the original family is very distinctive, as soon as the car stops, the shop assistants will know who is coming, but at the moment the shop is really too crowded and busy, it took a while to squeeze out a person.

The guy wiped off the sweat with a square towel, and then said to them apologetically, "Boss Yuan and Mrs. Yuan are really sorry, the situation is special today, and I have neglected you two!"

"What's the matter? No matter how good the business of 'Xiao Zhai' is usually, it's not such an exaggeration." Zhang Jin looked at the crowd that kept pushing into the store.

"It's like this. The boss has launched several new dishes, adding a sauce that I have never seen before, and they are very popular. It just so happens that today is the anniversary of 'Xiao Zhai'. My wife announced that anyone who comes to 'Xiao Zhai' today 'People, the food is half price, that's why there are so many people." The guy explained.

"So it is."

If I'm not mistaken, the so-called sauce I've never seen before should be ketchup.With Li Mingyin's sensitivity to ingredients, it is not difficult to use tomato sauce to make delicious snacks.Hearing what the guy said, Zhang Jin couldn't wait to try these new foods.

Following the buddy into the inner house, the hustle and bustle of the outside world was isolated, and the sudden silence made people feel a little maladjusted.

At this time, Lou Xiao was walking towards him, followed by a few servants.

Lou Xiao was a little surprised when he met Zhang Jin and the others, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Ah, I thought you were going to hide in the mountains for the rest of your life."

But then he happily took Ozawa who was still sleeping from Zhang Jin's hand, "Little boy, I miss you so much! Tsk tsk, I haven't seen this little mouth and face for a while, the longer he looks the better!"

Changing his arms, Yuan Zexuan smacked his lips indifferently and continued to sleep.

Lou Xiao could not wait to kiss him hard on the face, "God is unfair, why is my family's dumpling a devil in the world! If I can be half as good as Ozawa, I will be satisfied."

Facing the melancholy and mournful Lou Xiao, Zhang Jin smiled helplessly, "Duanzi is obviously very cute. By the way, are you going to the store?"

"The things in the store have been arranged a long time ago. I was going to go to the newspaper office just now. You came in time, otherwise, I will invite you to come over then. Recently, our newspaper office has set up sales outlets in several surrounding counties and towns. We also want to print more, but there is not enough manpower, so Uncle Wang has recruited a lot of people, and he is waiting for me to go over to see if there are any suitable ones. Since you are here, it will save me sending someone to come."

"Okay, let's go together."

It was inconvenient to go to the "newspaper office" with the children, so Zhang Jin asked Yuan Zhe to stay at Lou Xiao's house with Yuan Zexuan, and come to pick them up after they finished handling the matter.Yuan Hong and Yuan Bo went to the town to inquire about the shop.

Lou Xiao reluctantly handed over the child to Yuan Zhe, while asking the servants around him to take good care of him.

These days, the "newspaper office" is getting better and better, and gradually has a shadow of later generations.

People in Chang'an Town are very used to getting up every morning to buy a newspaper. Regardless of whether they can read or not, everyone can know what happened as soon as the newspaper comes out. For many people, the newspaper enriches their conversations after dinner.

Some teahouses even hired a storyteller to interpret and comment on major events in newspapers and organize everyone to express their opinions.With such development, the teahouse has become the favorite of many scholars and students.Here they can not only understand the latest facts, but also understand the public's ideas, and more importantly, they can exchange their opinions with like-minded people and debate with people who hold different views.

Many years later, this phenomenon was called "teahouse culture" by later generations. Under the influence of "teahouse culture", many celebrities and "politicians" with debating talents appeared.It was this inadvertently formed culture that had an important impact on Xia.

When he arrived at the newspaper office, Uncle Wang was already waiting.

When the newspaper was first established, Zhang Jin told Lou Xiao and others about her own ideas, and learned from the methods of later generations in the management model.

This time they need a lot of people, as the demand for newspapers expands, they will recruit more people in the future.Influenced by Chang'an Town, nearby counties and towns have gradually accepted the new thing of newspapers.

In addition to the fixed sales outlets in the local area, they also hired some vagrants to help them sell newspapers, but they had to be managed by someone.Lou Xiao transferred a few confidants from here.The problem facing them at present is the shortage of manpower.

This time there were more than fifty applicants.The newspaper office is famous for its good treatment. If it hadn't been for the specific requirements for applicants this time, there may be far more people who came today.

After Zhang Jin, Lou Xiao, and Uncle Wang conducted careful interviews and discussions, ten people were left to fill the vacancies temporarily.However, this is the first time that a newspaper office has appeared in this world. Everyone is ignorant of their own work, so they need to step up their guidance and training.

When they came back from the newspaper office, both of them were a little tired, but they were in a good mood, just like raising their own child. Although it was hard work, but watching him grow up day by day, the sense of satisfaction was indescribable.

But as soon as he entered the door, he heard the earth-shattering cry of Tuanzi.

"It's coming again!" Lou Xiao rolled his eyes weakly, but even so, his pace quickened unconsciously.

"Ma'am, you are back!"

The family waiter who was serving the dumpling was in a hurry, and he was at a loss for what to do when he was howling vigorously.

"Give him to me." Lou Xiao took the child and patted his back with both hands.

Although the dumplings are not big, they are not light in weight.With his chubby and tender flesh, coupled with his constantly kicking legs, it was a bit difficult for Lou Xiao to hold him.

"Little ancestor! Stop howling! What's going on?!"

It turned out that Tuanzi just woke up and wet the bed, but no matter what, he refused to ask the servant to change him into new pants, and he cried loudly when he touched him.In the end, Zhang Jin stepped forward to help, and worked together with Lou Xiao to put new pants on the dumpling.

The changed dumplings were lying in the arms of their parents, with tears in their eyes, as if they had been greatly wronged.

Zhang Jin can understand Lou Xiao's mood now...
