husband in another world

The pig soap is really easy to use and has a strong decontamination power. Mrs. Ji held a piece of soap in her hand and looked at it over and over again. She didn't know how such a small thing could easily remove the mark that she couldn't get rid of before. Cleaned up.

"My lord, although this servant is a servant, she also worked in a rich family's house. I have seen a lot of good things. This is the first time I have seen this kind of thing called pancreas. It should be a lot of money, that's all. a small piece?"

Zhou Jing smiled, "It depends on who it is for. For some people, a hundred yuan is too cheap. So I will launch high-end models one after another. A few taels is not impossible."

Mrs. Ji felt that this soap was hot to hold in her hands. One hundred yuan a piece. What kind of people can afford it? A catty of pork costs only twenty yuan. You can buy four catties. Four catties of fat pork is enough to last for several months. up.

Mrs. Ji silently put the used soap on the table. This is a valuable item, so she must not dare to take care of it on her own. If she saves a few yuan, she can sell it secretly.

Shen Mo smiled when he saw her movements: "You can keep this soap, and save it for laundry with Sister Zhang. It can save a lot of effort. Just come to me to get it when you run out of it. It's okay."

Only now did Mrs. Ji take it away carefully, bowing and retreating.

"Xiao Mo, it seems that we have to open a rouge and gouache shop."

Shen Mo said: "Are you planning to add some rouge powder and pancreas to sell together?"

"Yes, but in order not to lower the grade of the shop, rouge and gouache are not allowed to buy cheap goods. I plan to discuss it with Fan Xin in the next year. There is not even a bird feather on the left and right of Yuyi shop, and the door cannot be opened for business. Why don't you ask?" He went to the south for a trip, he is familiar with it there, and he can roughly know the price and grade of some rouge and gouache so as not to be cheated, so he can buy some high-quality goods and sell them back."

Shen Mo frowned and said: "Fan Xin, can he be willing? Now that he has money in his hand, why not start some business by himself."

Zhou Jing shook his head, "It's not that easy to do business in a foreign land. The reason why our sausage shop can be opened so smoothly is because we have climbed up to catch Yang from the beginning, no matter whether our relationship is true or not, but catch Yang It is always right to cover us with hoods. Although Chief Yang is not a big official, it is better for the county magistrate to take care of it first. The name is enough to cover a smaller business, so even though our family has a unique cloth dyeing technique in my hand, I dare not start a sole business. I want to engage in wholesale. I am afraid that I will cut off other people's money. The first small headhunter can't keep us."

"Fan Xin has just arrived here and is unfamiliar with the place. Although he has money in his hands, he doesn't dare to show it off. He still has to rely on us. It will take three or four years for him to gain a firm foothold in Liu Town. Then Let us arrange the manpower to follow Fan Xin to run the goods, and it will be done."

"This is the most complete way. It's just that the people who follow the goods must be selected from the village or recruited elsewhere. In short, we need our confidantes."

"I'm thinking about this. It's not yet the first lunar month, and the shop hasn't decided where to sell it."

The soap made of rapeseed oil, the one mixed with honey and milk was kept by Shen Mo, and the one made of pure plum petals was given to Zhou Yu.Zhou Yu wasn't very interested in the soap, he was just curious about how it was made, he just saw it.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fifth day of the lunar new year, and troupes from all over the country came to Wangjiacun.

This kind of theater troupe has no fixed place to live, and they perform wherever they go. If a wealthy master in the town invites them to return home to perform for a few days, they will be considered to be in the right place.If there are no wealthy businessmen and squires to invite them into the mansion to perform, they will settle down on the spot and perform casually in a circle of land, and the reward will be counted as a few pennies.

This kind of theater troupe that travels from all over the world has performed more in the south than in the north.Although the north is vast and sparsely populated, years of wars in the past few decades have caused the people in the border areas to live in dire straits.Individual prefects and county magistrates simply ignored the poverty of the people below, blindly increased taxes, and harshened people's livelihood, resulting in the overall north being poorer than the south, unable to improve economically, and naturally lagging behind in other aspects.

And this time the Han family group chose to come to the north because when they were performing in a wealthy merchant's mansion in the south, they heard the wealthy merchant mention Liu Zhen, and they especially mentioned a master surnamed Zhou.The old class leader remembered very clearly that it was a gathering of several local merchant leaders and famous squires to chat, because they were all local celebrity merchants, and they usually looked at people with their nostrils, and they said the name of a junior from their mouths, and they were full of praise , I think I can't compare, so the old class leader has a particularly deep memory.

I still remember the rich gentry saying that the old man lived in Liuzhen. His surname was Zhou. If you can't make a surprise move, you will be able to operate and create momentum.Let’s just say that that piece of bird’s feather coat made a lot of money, and earned gold and silver that others would not be able to earn in a few lifetimes.What's more, after learning a good trick from him, if you get any rare treasures in the future, you will have a huge auction, so you don't have to worry about selling them for gold and silver.

The old troupe master ran everywhere, but fortunately, he acted all the way from the south to the north.When I arrived in Liuzhen, I found out that the old man surnamed Zhou had returned to the countryside for the New Year, so the old class leader came to Wangjia Village.

Stepping on the stone-paved road, looking at the environment that is completely different from the surroundings just a few miles away, the old boss felt a burst of emotion in his heart. This Master Zhou is really a kind-hearted businessman and celebrity. Even if he is rich, he will not forget his duty and contribute to the village. Such a regular stone road has been built.Even in snowy and rainy days, I will not be stuck in the village and unable to get out.

"Oh, theatrical troupe?" Shen Mo became very interested, "I saw it once when I was a child, when I went to town with my father. The performance was a broken boulder on the chest. Then a large piece of bluestone was pressed on the chest. It can make me feel overwhelmed, but they still use such a big hammer to smash it down, and the person underneath is fine, and he is still alive and kicking, how strange!"

Seeing Shen Mo's enthusiasm, Zhou Jing said: "Then invite them to stay and perform for a few days, it happens to be the first month of the month, and there is nothing to do at home."

"Okay, Brother Jing, why don't you invite them to perform in the village. It just so happens that no one in the village has seen it before, and it's lively together. The more performers of this kind of theater troupe, the more atmosphere they have."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, but you should wear more clothes, it's cold outside, don't freeze." Zhou Jing turned around and told Mrs. Ji to invite the old class leader in.

"What will your troupe perform?"

The middle-aged man standing at the bottom bowed to Zhou Jingxian in a respectful manner, then lowered his head and said, "Nowadays, the troupe of villains can sing all the little songs that are popular nowadays, and I also made up a few short stories myself. I don't know what the master likes to listen to. You can act in the small group." The old class leader bowed his head in a proper manner when speaking, his eyes were fixed on the ground, and he didn't dare to look around.

"My husband likes novelty things, such as crushing boulders on the chest, and pouring oil into the pan empty-handed. Do you guys know these things?"

"Back to the master, I only know a little bit, and the villain troupe still focuses on singing."

Zhou Jing looked at Shen Mo questioningly, and Shen Mo nodded.

Zhou Jing then said: "You can act whatever you know. We are still living in the country for three days, so I invite you to perform for three days, two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, and one hour break at noon. Three lunches a day We provide, but we only prepare dishes and rice noodles, and you need to do it yourself. You can live in my house for three nights, but you can only live in the front workshop, and you are not allowed to run around in the house, otherwise don't blame the master I will send you to the police for the crime of stealing."

The old troupe master hurriedly fell to his knees, "The villain must strictly restrain the disciples in the theater troupe, and never dare to disturb the family."

"Then you go down and get ready." After hearing the master's stern instructions, the old class leader turned his head and said to his husband in a very gentle tone: "Go back and wear something thicker, put on the cloak, and I'll ask someone to bring some hand stoves for you to hold, and the seats should also be covered with a layer of thick fur, so as not to get cold."

Such thoughtful and detailed entrustment, it is rare to hear the master who is in charge of the family say this to the husband-in-law in a big family, and it is usually the husband-to-be who instructs the master in the family.

The old class leader couldn't help but wonder how beautiful that Zhou Fulang was, to be treated so tenderly and meticulously by such a big man, so he boldly took a sneak peek.

The troupe set up camp in an open space in the village, put on a stage, put on makeup and eyebrows, put on costumes, and prepared to perform.

Five tables were placed one meter in front of the stage, reserved for Zhou Jing, Shen Mo, Zhou Yu, Shen Lin, Wang Ren, Wang Fulu, Hao Yulan, and the Wang family's two brothers and sisters.

The sister-in-law of the Wang family also followed, but her expression was quite nervous. When she greeted Shen Mo and Zhou Jing, her hands and feet were tied, and one could tell that she was guilty at a glance.Shen Mo guessed that something that he didn't know probably happened, but seeing that Shen Lin was in good spirits, and his face was not gloomy, and this was not a place to talk, so he didn't ask, he just didn't know.

A few people sat in the front, and the back was full of villagers. The theater troupe rarely came to the village to perform, and it was considered a rare opportunity. Almost the entire Wangjia Village was mobilized.

Among the crowd, the new daughter-in-law of Mrs. Shen's family crossed her hips and commented: "Master Zhou is really generous. I heard that the theater troupe will perform in our village for three days. It must cost a lot of money."

"No, but this is a small amount of money for the Zhou family today. Look at Cheng Yu, who worked with Master Zhou, how poor he was in the past. He said it was because he was short and could not be called a daughter-in-law, but no one knew that the girls in his family were all I think his family is poor. How long have I worked with Mr. Zhou? You can see that he bought a homestead and built three big tile-roofed houses. Cheng Yuniang is also worried about her son. She is afraid that others will not know that his son has If he has the ability, he just gritted his teeth and decided to divide the family. In this way, after the separation, Cheng Yu bought land and built a house. Isn't this just telling the villagers that he is rich and capable, and the girls can rely on him, even if they come to ask for marriage? Don't say, this trick is really effective. I don't know about it in our village. Several girls in other villages who are only seventeen or eighteen have asked me about him. If the homestead and the three big tile-roofed houses are both It is Cheng Yu's own, so he is very willing to marry it."

A woman next to her said: "This is Cheng Yu's luck. Thinking about who was as good as your mother-in-law in the past, Mr. Zhou's family was the first to take care of your mother-in-law's house when he first got up. Doing business for her family, and also hired her son to work. This is because the husband of the Zhou family thanked your mother-in-law for extending his hand to him when he was poor. At that time, you don’t know how many people in the village envied their eyes green. But later I don't know what your mother-in-law thinks, but she thinks that Zhou Fulang's younger brother will fall in love with her son, so she invited a matchmaker to go to the Zhou mansion to make a marriage proposal. If you want to marry, you can say that you will marry him, and if you don't like it, it's all right. Master Zhou and his husband Lang doesn't know much about his character, but who knows that your mother-in-law made a bunch of unreasonable demands so as not to give Mr. Zhou face. He was so angry that he kicked the matchmaker out at that time. Later, Manager Wang took over , let your mother-in-law's house supply directly, and refused to even find a decent reason, and it was obvious to vent his anger on his husband."

Mrs. Wang Baichuan curled her lips, "I don't want to piss and take care of her son's virtues. Don't say that Wang Fulang looks down on him, but I didn't because that old woman lied to me that her family had a supply business from the Zhou family. I was willing to marry, but it turned out, hehe, it was a scam. That old godly woman has a criminal record, and she has pity on the child in my stomach. There is such a grandma, who will lose her official career before she is born."

Everyone in the village knew it well, or there were not many people who read it, but they still echoed a few words.

As he spoke, a performance started on the stage, and the first performance was exactly the famous boulder on Zhou's chest.

The crowd, who were noisy just now, fell silent in an instant, watching helplessly as such a big stone was pressed on the chest of a thin and small man, and the other smashed it down with a hammer that was so huge that it was scary to look at.A few timid little women covered their eyes and screamed in fright, not daring to look at it.

There were also voices of gasping for air all around, but it turned into cheers and applause in just a moment.

The men coaxed their mothers-in-law, "Look, that man is fine, he's jumping up and down again, and he doesn't know what kind of kung fu is. Could it be the legendary qigong!"

When changing props on the stage, there was a burst of chatter among the crowd. Shen Mo, who had seen it as a child, was also excited and applauded.Shen Lin looked at it without blinking. Wang Ren was afraid that he would startle the child in his belly, so he reached out to cover his eyes, but Shen Lin slapped him and stared at him dissatisfied.Wang Fulu and Hao Yulan didn't have time to pay attention to the young couple next to them, they were all fascinated.

The next step was to insert the oil pan with bare hands, throwing a small dough into the hot oil pan and it would be fried instantly, but the man inserted his hand into it abruptly, causing a lot of screams, but nothing happened.People in the village were surprised by this, and there were many discussions.This is to know that it is a performance of miscellaneous songs, or else it is really regarded as a god.Those who are not afraid of frying in a frying pan are not gods.

After that, he performed fire breathing and tightrope walking, and then he acted in drama.They are all familiar folk stories, such as Huangmei Opera, Wang Po scolding chickens, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice and so on.Shen Mo was fascinated by listening to it, and after the show at noon, he still had something to say and discussed tirelessly.What's rare is that Zhou Yu also likes it very much, and the usually taciturn child chatted with Shen Mo for a few words.Zhou Jing felt that children are children, and they still like strange things.

The Wang family all went out to watch the play and forgot about lunch, so Zhou Jing stayed with them and asked the two women in the family to add some more dishes.

As soon as he entered the hall, it was steaming, Zhou Jing hurriedly asked Shen Mo to take off his shoes and go to the stove to bake, and took off the muff to cover Shen Mo's hands.

With so many people in the room, Shen Mo hugged him in shame before giving up.

There are dumplings and steamed buns for lunch. The steamed buns are divided into two types, one is pure white flour, and the other is a mixture of white flour and corn flour.This kind of mixing is exactly what Zhou Jing likes. He comes from later generations, and rice and flour are not unusual, but coarse grains are what he cares about.Although it is coarse grains, not all coarse grains are the kind that the villagers eat mixed with shells and stones. The coarse grains that Zhou Jing eats are also fine and expensive.I made ten dishes, namely: stewed chicken with mushrooms, egg pancakes, braised pork with preserved vegetables, pickled fish, braised lion head, shredded potatoes with vinegar, braised saury in brown sauce, fried fungus with cabbage, stewed tofu in sauce, fried pork with fungus. Must be wild boar.Finally, there is a greasy radish soup.

Many of the dishes were cooked by Zhou Jing's two wives, so the Wang family never tried them.It’s okay for adults, no matter how much they like to eat, they can pretend, but children can’t do it anymore, they start to gobble it up.This made Hao Yulan and Wang Fulu embarrassed.

"It's all a family, it's not that particular, as long as the children eat what they like." Zhou Jing greeted them with a pleasant face, while picking up vegetables and dumplings for a few children.

Da Niu finished off such a big lion's head in two or three mouthfuls, "Uncle, your food here is really delicious, much better than mine. The children in the village said my food was delicious, but they didn't I have eaten the dishes from your uncle’s house, they are full of oil and water, and more meaty, it’s really enjoyable to eat, just like Chinese New Year.”

Zhou Jing said with a smile: "If you like to eat, eat more, and you can come to uncle's house to eat more in the future."

"Yeah." Daniel is already sensible, understands some truths, knows that Zhou Jing is not his real uncle, these words are just polite, if he can't do it seriously, he just hums twice in a perfunctory manner, and eats two more yuan Meat.

The villagers could not get tired of listening to the opera after two days of continuous singing, and Shen Mo even went there every day, as if he had become an opera fan and addicted.

This evening, I sang a story written and acted by the troupe. It was about a poor family. The parents of the family passed away early, and only the elder brother was left with his younger brother to make a living. With no money, he endured hunger, picked up garbage everywhere to eat, and went to the streets to beg.All in all, life is very miserable and pitiful. The two little actors are children. In order to act realistically in the cold winter months, they wear tattered and thin clothes.When they picked up spoiled food thrown out by a rich family, they were kicked by the servants of the rich family and they were not allowed to eat it. They really earned a lot of tears from women and girls, and all of them burst into tears. Weeping, pity the two children, and scold the servant of the rich family.

Later, the two men finally grew up and became tall and strong men. Both of them were diligent and agile, willing to endure hardships, and found a job to do, and their days gradually improved.

By chance, the younger brother fell in love with a girl from a family in the village, so the younger brother begged his elder brother for a matchmaker.But the girl's father looked down on his family, disliked his family's poverty, and was unwilling to marry the girl to his family.But unable to stand up to his daughter's begging, he proposed a dowry gift of three taels of silver in a fit of anger.Three taels of silver, how can the two brothers get it, but if they can't, the girl's father will marry her to someone else.There was really no other way, so the elder brother secretly joined the army.At that time, the dynasty was at war, and volunteers to join the army were paid very well. The three liang of silver was just enough for the younger brother to marry his wife.

The elder brother left just like that. He had no eyes on the battlefield, and survived several times by chance, but when he returned home, he found that the younger brother's family was dead except for a three-year-old baby who could not speak.The child was only three years old, and he didn't know how he survived. The man took him back among the beggars on the street.

After many inquiries, the eldest brother finally found out how his younger brother and sister-in-law died.It turned out that his younger brother found a long-term job with a rich family. One day at noon, the mother-in-law went to deliver the meal, and bumped into the rich man. When the man saw his sister-in-law's beauty, he became lustful, and secretly followed him after delivering the meal. Behind the returning woman.I followed her all the way to her house, and found that there was only a little woman and a child in the house, so I got angry and wanted to rape his sister-in-law.

The younger brother and daughter-in-law refused to give in to all kinds of threats and lures, but they couldn't beat a grown man, and seeing that the bad guys were about to succeed, they couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide by biting their tongues.

Coincidentally, my younger brother felt terrified and flustered after his wife left. He always felt that something bad was about to happen, so he couldn't let go, so he asked for leave and went home.It's a pity that he came back a step late, his mother-in-law was already dead, and the rich man was planning to destroy the corpse.The younger brother couldn't stand this kind of excitement and was so excited that he wanted to kill the rich man. Unexpectedly, the rich man escaped, and instead brought the servants to beat him up, saying that his husband and wife set him up.The county magistrate and the rich man had a quarrel, and without any explanation, he put the younger brother in prison and tortured him to death.

How could the elder brother bear it after hearing this, but the younger brother was brought up by him, and in a fit of anger, he even forgot his little nephew and did something like sneaking into a rich man's house with a knife and trying to kill the rich man.There are many nursing homes in the rich man's home, but he was sent to the prison instead of doing anything.

Because no one was hurt, and the crime did not warrant death, the county magistrate ordered someone to give him a tattoo, tattooed the word "villain" on his face, and made him a criminal slave.

When the tattoo was on stage, the kneeling actor was full of pride, mighty and unyielding, and stared viciously at the yamen servant actor who was performing the tattoo, which scared the yamen servant into thinking that it was not an act but a real thing.Fortunately, looking up at the crowds of villagers under the stage, the talents stabilized their minds and continued to perform.

There are two kinds of assignments in the dynasty for prisoners after tattooing. One is to serve in a place of bitter cold, and the other is to be sold as slaves.

And because this big brother didn't kill anyone, he was sold as a criminal slave. His little nephew couldn't speak a word, and he didn't know how to find an old troupe owner who ran performances all over the place with the money returned from the man's service, and begged him to buy it with money. That man.

From then on, the man and his nephew followed the old class leader around, acting out his stories.

This play is very well sung and composed, and touched many women in the village and girls who have not left the court. They usually live frugally, but now they are willing to secretly give a few pennies to the acting child, hugging him in various comforts , and also sent some food.And to comfort the girl who played the younger brother-in-law.In short, this scene was very brilliant and earned a lot of tears of sympathy.

After dinner in the evening, Zhou Jing got a hot towel to apply to Shen Mo's eyes.

Reluctantly said: "It's all fake, it looks like your eyes are swollen from crying. You shed so many tears in the ice and snow, your face should be chapped tomorrow, and it will hurt you."

Shen Mo still feels oppressed when he thinks about it now, and there is a stuffiness in his chest that can't get up.

"Although it is false, who knows if such a thing happened in a real place."

"You, you know what to think. The old class leader said it all. He made up the story."
