Ding Tian's Ancient Life

"It's really unnecessary." Aunt Jin smiled: "Those things you gave me, I made two new sets of quilts, and the ones I gave them were old things from my family. It can be used, my grandson won’t let me cover the old quilt, so I will send it for them to cover, no waste.”

Ding Tian thought of the things he gave to Mrs. Jin... It seemed that he could really make two sets of quilts, and he was relieved: "That's okay, then I will be disrespectful."

"What bow?" Mrs. Jin couldn't understand the polite words.

"Then I won't be impolite, and I'll take your things." Ding Tian said in a different way: "How are your clothes?"

Since you don't understand, stop talking and just change the topic.

"The ready-made garment can be finished the day after tomorrow. It's very simple. You can cut two pieces and sew it together. The underwear is also simple, and you can be sure to finish it in three days." Aunt Jin said quite proudly: "I'm afraid that some people's eyelids will be cut off." Qian, when I started cutting the fabric, I said that this is for the prisoners in the prison. If anyone cuts some fabric and takes it back to make clothes for himself, don't feel bad luck. They all said that this thing is greedy. must not

Because it was worn by prisoners, if they made it for their own family...they would definitely be beaten by their own men.

Ding Tian laughed when he heard this: "That's very good."

Not to mention the feudal and superstitious ancient times, even in modern times, those prison uniforms...ordinary people would not be able to wear them.

It's too taboo.

Now that Aunt Jin's side is fine, Ding Tian on the other side started frying potato chips after Wang Zuo had already entered the door.

After dinner, Wang Zuo specifically asked Ding Tian, ​​"Is everyone settled down?"

"It's settled." Ding Tian nodded.

The two were silent for a moment, Wang Zuo waved his hand, and Wang Fugui brought in a big box. Wang Zuo pointed to the big box and said, "It's all clothes, let the family wear them, they are all unnecessary things."

"Oh." Ding Tian continued to nod: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." It was Wang Fu who answered him: "I asked a few people for some of our old clothes. The women's clothes are from the postman's family in the post station. Their daughter is married, and the old All the clothes are left at my mother’s house, and I always wear new clothes when I go to my in-law’s house.”

"Oh." Ding Tian hurried out and called Ma Liu and his son over, and moved the box to the east wing.

Wang Zuo sat for a while and left, coming and going like the wind, Ding Tian didn't understand, since he was in such a hurry, why didn't he leave earlier?

Ma Liu's family changed into clothes the next day.

Except for the old clothes, the materials of these clothes are very good, at least better than those of ordinary farmers, especially Ma Xiaohua's clothes, which are the kind of long skirts that only Xiaojiabiyu can wear. The child was so happy that he bared With bared teeth, he smiled shyly at Ding Tian.

This child's development is a bit late, it's already nine years old and ten years old, and the teeth have not been replaced yet.

With this family, Ding Tian's life will be quite different. Ding Tian usually chops firewood by himself when he comes back, so he can't let Mrs. Jin do it, right?

Then Ding Tian would feel guilty.

But with Ma Liu's family, Ma Liu is the one who does the firewood chopping.

There is a well at home, but someone needs to carry the water. Ding Tian used to carry the water by himself, but now it is Ma Dafeng.

The 12-year-old boy is quite energetic.

You can eat two big bowls for each meal, and you also need a big bowl of vegetables and half a plate of pickles.

But Ding Tian always felt that he was employing child labor... When cooking every day, he always put an extra spoonful of meat in Ma Dafeng's bowl, so that the child would not be able to eat until he was full.

When Wang Zuo came to eat again, it was Ma Xiaohua who brought tea to Wang Zuo, but unfortunately, Xiaohua was a little afraid of Wang Zuo, so she gave him some tea and never showed her face again.

Wang Fuzhi was also on guard. Ding Tian found out that Wang Fugui would not let Wang Zuo touch things that were not his own. There was no other way. In order to prevent Wang Zuo from dying of thirst, Ding Tian consciously took over the matter of serving tea and pouring water. .

"Isn't there a maid?" Wang Zuo was still not happy, because he felt that Ding Tian had worked so hard.

"You don't even look at it. When Xiao Hua came, Wang Fu's face was longer than that of a horse. He looked at Xiao Hua as if he wanted to eat people. That child was frightened. How dare he serve you?" Ding Tian She curled her lips: "Let me do it, lest you scare people to death."

As he said that, he poured a cup of tea for Wang Zuo: "This is the tea you sent. I don't dare to drink it at ordinary times. You can drink it when you come here."

drink it. "

There was no way to make tea in the past, so I drank some boiled water at most.

However, Aunt Jin thought that Ma Xiaohua should know some of these things. This is the taste only of rich people, so she made tea.

However, the tea set that Ding Tian used to make tea was also sent by Wang Zuo, a set of exquisite Yuan blue and white tea set, quite beautiful, Ding Tian wanted to hide it... In his time, this thing was very expensive!

It is said that there are less than [-] pieces of Yuan Yuhua in existence, each of which is a rare treasure.

"Why did you give me such a beautiful tea set?" Ding Tian complained slightly.

"Is it beautiful?" Wang Zuo looked at the teacup in his hand: "I just picked out this tea set because I thought it was big enough to hold enough tea."

Ding Tian was left speechless, he found that Wang Zuo's words were very choking.

Three days later, Ding Tian got a full hundred sets of prison uniforms, including underwear, and a hundred pairs of shoes, all matched perfectly.

Then he sent someone to bring back all the things, and that night, he settled the wages for Aunt Jin, and asked her to work hard, and just share it.

The cleaning work in the cells is in progress, the heavy offender cell has been completed, and the women's cell is nearing completion, the light prison cell is still detaining people, and the temporary detention area does not need to build a kang, as long as it is cleaned up, Whitewash the walls, repair the roof, renovate the doors and windows, and that's it.

For this reason, Ding Tian really went to Li Zhao, who was in charge, and paid 100 taels of silver to repair the cell.

He advanced the money in the early stage, and he was compensated for it.

Li Zhao seemed to be familiar with this matter, and he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, the master is very optimistic about you."

"Hehe..." Ding Tian still couldn't explain, he understood Li Zhao's meaning.

Li Zhao thought that Ding Tian was greedy for a little money in the name of "repairing the prison", but in fact, Ding Tian was not greedy for a penny.

He even paid out of his own pocket in the early stage... Who can I ask to reason with this matter?

But just give the money, don't explain to this kind of crooked person.

After taking the money, Ding Tian continued to ask Uncle Zheng to go shopping, this time not for the prisoners, but for the jailers, their clothes, shoes, hats, etc.

The ones distributed by the government are worn out, and the color has faded a lot, especially the shoes. Some people have patches on the uppers of their shoes, which looks a bit miserable.

In the whole cell, I was the only one dressed brightly, and so were the prisoners, so what do you ask the jailers to do?

So... it's better not to distribute the clothes yet, but to change the clothes of the jailers first.

There was a bit of a commotion this time. A couple of tailors from Lin's Cloth Shop came to measure the guards, both male and female, including the two cooks.

Each person has four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each season has two sets of clothes, two pairs of boots, and four sets of underwear.

This made the jailers happy, Old Uncle Zheng even wiped his tears and said: "I haven't worn new clothes for many years, and I dare not wash this clothes vigorously, for fear that it will be ruined and I won't be able to wear it. "

"It's okay, we will have new clothes every year in the future." Ding Tian also felt a little sad, he had never experienced this feeling, in modern times, uniforms can be purchased, and even the unit will issue them on time; but here, he is Starting from scratch, even the cells are new, not to mention the clothes.

So he couldn't understand, what does it feel like to wear work clothes for many years?

A few days later, Ding Tian rested again, this time Wang Zuo didn't come, but Wang Fugui did!

"Our lord comes to you all the time, why don't you go and see our lord?" As soon as he came, he complained: "I gave you a big gift for nothing, and bought a servant."

Ding Tian originally wanted to sleep late, but Wang Zuo didn't come for breakfast, so he wanted to lie down on the pit for a while, but when Wang Fugui came, he sat cross-legged on his kang, guarding his bed, Xiaoxiao babbled on and on, how could he still sleep?

"I just want to see my lord. What do you think I should bring as a gift? Gold and silver treasures? I don't have any!" Ding Tian took the quilt off his head, got up, and stared at Wang Fugui: "And you Is it like this? Come to 'nagging' me early in the morning, and let people sleep late?"

"I have good intentions, why don't you understand?" Wang Fugui pointed at him again: "A good opportunity that others can't even ask for, but you should fight for it? My lord... my lord, Is that someone who can cling to anyone who wants to? You have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, why don't you take it well?"

Ding Tian drooped his head and said, "I see. At noon, I will visit your Lord Wang, okay?" Wang Fugui left satisfied. He ran out secretly because of the purchase.

Ding Tian was helpless, everyone said so, not to mention that he really needed to see Wang Zuo, even though he was a cook for such a long time, Wang Zuo did take care of him very much, without Wang Zuo as a backer, it is impossible for Master Du and the others to treat him like this He was obedient and obedient, and let him toss about the cell.

Master Du went down to watch the spring plowing, and he didn't forget to ask Li Zhao to take good care of him.

Ding Tian climbed up from the pit, Mrs. Jin made breakfast, millet porridge is to support people, Xili ate two bowls of millet porridge, and then woke up. After washing and refreshing, he went out with his money bag .

Since they wanted to give presents, they definitely had no shortage of gold, silver and treasures, so what to give?

It is estimated that Wang Zuo has seen everything, and he would not like anything, so it is more appropriate to do something by himself and send it over.

But what to do?

Originally I wanted beef sauce, but because beef is more expensive, it would be a bit of a face to give it away.

But Wang Zuo doesn't eat sauce, beef sauce... is it also sauce?

So, it was changed to caviar. He remembered that day, he took a jar with him, and he probably ran out of it long ago.

There are indeed fish sellers in the market, but none of them sell fish alone. Ding Tian picked a few big fish, the ones with bulging stomachs, and there are Yuxuan inside.

After buying it back, cut open the belly of the fish and take out the fish. As for the fish, just ask Mrs. Jin to cook a big pot of braised fish at night. By the way, ask her to bring back a big pot for dinner.

He took out a small pot of fish roe and was busy making caviar himself. Ma Dafeng added three wooden stirrers to his stove and went to clean the courtyard.

This time there were more caviar, and Ding Tian made it drier, so in the end we got about three catties of caviar, which were packed in a jar.

But carrying caviar alone seems a bit simple.

Ding Tian changed his clothes, took the warm caviar, and went out. On the way to the post station, he went to the famous Cao's dim sum shop to buy their famous caozi cakes. One envelope and two boxes of caozi cakes. Half-hanging money, Ding Tian, ​​who blamed him, only wanted to scold others.

With caviar in his left hand and pina cake in his right, Ding Tian just went to the post station to visit Wang Zuo.

Ding Tian still knew about the inn in Beifeng City. He had asked Uncle Zheng about it. The inn was built in the city. Rather than calling it an inn, it was more like a big inn run by the government.

Only people with official positions can stay in, and ordinary people are not accepted. Moreover, this post station is a contact point for imperial messengers. Aggregate here, then distribute.

During the war, this place was also the gathering place for scout news.

But when Ding Tian found the station, he opened his mouth wide...
