Nongmen Shenjue

When she got home, Mu Wan sat in the yard weaving bamboo baskets without going to the ground.

Often chopping bamboo to make bamboo strips, Mu Wan made a lot of cuts in her hands, but she was used to the work, not only did she not feel bitter, but she felt happy every time she finished weaving a basket.It is not easy for farmers to earn money. Their family has land, so they can’t go hungry, but it is very difficult to earn some cash.

"You still know to come back!" Mu Wan got angry when she saw the two of them, annoyed that Mu Qingyan didn't come back last night, she was worried all night.

She just scolded Mu Qingyan, and was not polite to Mu Lin.

Mu Lin smiled without making any distinctions, and directly put out the money, and Mu Wan immediately stopped talking.

Hearing how the money was obtained, Mu Wan shouted angrily again: "Brother! How can you take your second brother with such a dangerous thing as catching thieves?" After calming down, she glared again: "It seems that the second brother is smart. If it weren't for the second brother, you would have to eat shredded pork fried on a bamboo board, let alone a reward."

"Wow! Second sister, do you eat meat today?" Mu Wu rushed in from the outside, and heard the word "meat".

When Mu Wen saw the money that Mu Lin quickly put away, his eyes widened.

How could their family have so much money?

"Just know how to eat!" Mu Wan laughed and scolded, and asked Mu Wu to send the meat from Aunt Zhao's house, and said: "Eat! Our family eats meat! There was half a catty of meat left yesterday, and I cooked it today!"

Seeing the money, Mu Wan knew that the foreign debt could be paid off, and even her life would improve, and she felt more relaxed than ever.In the past, saving food and money was not just a matter of lack of money. When she had money, she didn't want to be stingy, so she had to let her siblings eat better.

When Mu Lin came back, he helped split bamboo strips, and Mu Wen and Mu Wu also helped.

Mu Qingyan remembered the silk flowers he bought, took them out and gave them to Mu Wan, and Mu embroidered them for her to wear directly.

"It's so beautiful! It's peach blossom!" Mu Xiu exclaimed fondly, "Thank you, Second Brother."

Mu Wan was also surprised: "Thank you second brother, you are much better than elder brother, and elder brother has never thought of buying me a flower."

That's the way it is said, but everyone knows that the family was in a difficult situation before, so there was no such spare money.

Mu Wen and Mu Wu also looked forward to it: "Second Brother, where's ours?"

"No." Mu Qingyan played tricks, saw them drooping their heads in disappointment, then took out copper coins, and each gave four: "When we go to the county seat, we can buy what we like."

"Thank you, second brother!" Mu Wenmu Wu was overjoyed, this was the first time he got "private money".Mu Wu was full of thoughts about buying something delicious and fun, but Mu Wen decided to save his money.

Mu Wan smiled and shook her head: "Second brother, they are still young, so don't spoil them."

"Not much." Mu Qingyan said, remembering what had been on his mind all the time, and asked, "Brother, how is Liulin Ferry going?"

"How about what?" Mullin didn't understand what he meant.

"I have 12 taels of silver in my hand. Do you think I can find a house at Liulin Ferry?"

"The family lives well, why are you buying a house?" Mu Lin didn't grasp the point at all.

On the contrary, Mu Wan reacted, but frowned: "Second brother, do you want to go there to do business? You can do business wherever you want, there are many ways in it, and the risk is also high. In my opinion, it is better to buy land with money. Even if the harvest is not good, you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking.”

"It's not that I don't want to buy land. It's only ten taels of silver. We can buy up to two acres of land here. It's hard to buy even if you have money. No one thinks you have too much land. Why don't you start a small business and try it first?" Try it, if it doesn't work, forget it, if it works, it will definitely be more profitable than farming."

"But you are not in good health." Mu Wan is aware of the hard work of doing business, and she is afraid that he will not be able to sustain it. What's more, she really can't see what kind of business he can do.He wanted to persuade him, but he was afraid that speaking too harshly would hurt his heart.

"Let Xiaowen Xiaowu follow me and help me." Mu Qingyan had already considered it.

Mu Lin is straight-hearted and always discusses the matter, so he said: "I think it's okay, Xiaowen and Xiaowu are so big, they can do any job. But second brother, what are you going to do?"

Mu Qingyan said with a smile: "Since we have chosen the ferry, besides working on leg strength, it must be eating and drinking that will make the most money."

Mu Wan frowned even deeper: "Second brother, why don't you think about it again. If you want to find something to do, ask your eldest brother to go to the city to look for it. You can read and do arithmetic. It would be great to work as a bookkeeper in a restaurant. The wind blows It’s not rainy, it’s light and it’s cheap.”

Mu Qingyan smiled and said nothing.

Mu Wan sighed, seeing that he was determined.

"Brother, take your second brother to the ferry to have a look this afternoon." Mu Wan still took a chance, hoping that he would give up after seeing the hardships over there.There are a lot of small businesses at the ferry, and what they earn is hard money in the wind and rain.

There are a lot of dishes on the lunch table.

Mu Wen and Mu Wu ran to the mountain to dig a basket of bamboo shoots. The spring bamboo shoots were tender and fried with meat on a large plate.Dried beans in the winter, fried with meat, is another dish.There are also scrambled eggs with leeks, cold shepherd's purse, and a pot of fragrant rice.

This is how the Mu family celebrates the festival.

Mu Qingyan cooks all the dishes, and Mu Wan thought that he was going to do business, so she didn't stop him, intending to hit him.Unexpectedly, as soon as the dishes came out of the pot, the whole family was surprised, especially at the beginning of eating, everyone couldn't stop their chopsticks.

The dishes made by Mu Qingyan are very special. After eating, it seems that the whole body is comfortable, the fatigue is gone, and the mood is happy.

The table was full of empty plates and bowls, and a few people sat without moving, quietly reminiscing about the wonderful feeling.

This is where Mu Qingyan's confidence in planning to do business lies.

His ability has a bonus effect on cooking, especially under his deliberate control, he can lock the plant essence in the dishes. In this way, the dishes are not only authentic, but also carry energy. The dishes, naturally make people linger.

Of course, the essence of this is limited after all, unless you eat it for a long time, it is just a lot of good psychological feelings.

Traveling to and from the ferry must be exhausted from the journey. After eating the food he made, I felt exhausted, and the whole body was comfortable. The feeling is more obvious, and it is easy to make a word of mouth.

After a long time, Mu Lin slapped the table: "I think it will work! If the second brother doesn't make a move, it's amazing. If you have this skill, you can even open a restaurant in the city."

Mu Wan smiled helplessly: "Okay, the second brother is the chef, I will help the second brother."

Seeing that she couldn't stop him and was conquered by Mu Qingyan's skill, Mu Wan could only follow and let him go to the ferry alone, she was absolutely worried.

Mu Lin thought for a while and said: "The ferry is not far away. After leaving the village, go to the official road, and you will be there in two quarters of an hour. There is no need to live there, and there is no need to find a house. I will go to the carpenter tomorrow. Make a cart, buy some pots and pans, go early and return late."

Indeed, the reason why Fenglin City is so prosperous has a lot to do with the ferry, so the county seat is very close to the ferry.

Going from Qingshan Village, the direction is a bit detoured, so you have to go to the official road first. After all, it takes at most half an hour to go to the ferry.It's easy for others, but it's not good for Mu Qingyan. First, he's weak, and second, he doesn't want to run around every day.However, given the circumstances of the family, finding a house is a big deal, and we still have to actually go and see it.

In the afternoon, Mu Lin borrowed Zhao's ox cart, and took his younger siblings to Liulin Ferry.

Originally, it was only Mu Qingyan and Mu Lin who were going, Mu Wen and Mu Wu wanted to follow, Mu Xiu was also looking forward to it, and Mu Wan was just as concerned, so they all went.

There are a lot of vehicles and pedestrians on the official road, most of them come from the ferry. After all, correspondingly speaking, it is more stable to take the water and take the boat.

The bullock cart swayed all the way to the ferry, and the voices of people became more and more noisy.

The ferry is paved with bluestones, the boats are in order, and many porters are waiting for their work, which shows the bustle and bustle.

I have to say that the scene in front of me is very different from what Mu Qingyan imagined.

There are some houses near the ferry, but these houses are built incidentally for tea sheds, food stalls and other businesses, and they are simple and old.Most of the people who come here to do business are carrying carts or even carrying baskets. The food they sell is simple, such as steamed buns, pancakes, and wonton fritters. The hawkers come early and return late.

"Second brother, what are you going to sell?" Mu Wan asked.

Of course, Mu Qingyan couldn't be responsible for selling food. In that case, no matter how good his food was, his money opportunities would be limited.This is why he wants to find a house.As for why he didn't go to the county seat, I have to say that because of his supernatural ability, he likes to stay in places with a lot of plants. The ferry is good, with mountains and water, flowers and trees, and boats come and go every day, so he won't be lonely.

Mu Qingyan asked back: "Brother said, how much money does it cost to build a house here? That's the kind."

He pointed to a noodle shop.

The noodle business in Dukou is good. A bowl of noodle is not expensive, the portion is generous, and it is very affordable. Porters or passing merchants will eat it. Those who have no money eat vegetarian noodles, and those who have money add meat and vegetables.

There is a shed in front of the noodle shop, which can accommodate four or five tables. The firewood stove is next to the shed, and you can see all the noodles being rolled and cooked.Adjacent to the shed are two rooms, yellow mud, straw and wood boards, one is used as the main room, where occasional guests can be accommodated, and the other is the place where the noodle shop owner and his family sleep.

"That house doesn't cost a few taels of silver. We can make the yellow mud bricks at home, and the wood is cut in the mountains. It just costs a little money to hire labor." Mu Lin said.

"How long?"

"It depends on how many people you invite. There is no need to rush this matter. When you go back to the village to find people, you can find two people. It will be done in a few days." Mu Lin has also built houses for others before, and the basic process is clear .

"Don't you need to buy the land to build a house?" Mu Qingyan noticed this.

"No need, I haven't heard of it." Mullin shook his head.

"Brother, go to the yamen and ask. If possible, I'd better buy it." Mu Qingyan felt that since there was no such thing before, it would not cost much to buy it, not to mention that Mu Lin is a member of the yamen anyway, and the yamen will never open his mouth.

"Is it necessary? Isn't that a waste of money?" Mu Lin couldn't figure it out.

"Ask first, if it's too expensive, forget it." This is also Mu Qingyan's later thinking. There is no official right to use the land, so it is always unreliable.

Mu Lin felt that many of his second brother's ideas were too strange, but he didn't say anything.

Mu Wan was observing the situation at the ferry, talking to other hawkers, and silently calculating the cost of setting up a stall...

She paused and looked at Mu Qingyan: "Build a house? Second brother, do you still want to build a house?"

Mu Lin realized later: "Second brother, it's not necessary to be so close to home. Do you want to live here? It's lively during the day, but at night there are few boats and people, so it's not very safe. "

Mu Qingyan said with a smile: "Brother, you need to make the house stronger."

Mu Wan frowned even tighter: "I'd better go back and discuss this matter."

The Mu family has a house and land in Qingshan Village, so it's unrealistic for the whole family to live in the ferry, not to mention, there would have to be more houses to live in, and the cost would be too high.If only Mu Qingyan was left, Mu Wan would not be at ease no matter what.

In the previous life, he was single and used to take his own ideas, but now he is someone else's younger brother, and he is under control everywhere, no matter how reasonable or affectionate he is, it doesn't make sense.Mu Qingyan felt a little helpless, but he didn't hate this feeling either.
