Today, Bai Shu went to the construction site as usual.

Now Baishu's house has been repaired half a floor, and it involves issues such as sewerage and drainage pipes, and he needs to discuss with the craftsmen from time to time, so he spends almost every day at the construction site.

Because the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Bai Zhu asked Chen Dongqing to buy mung beans from the town for fear that the villagers would suffer from heat stroke.

He asked Brother Liu and the others to boil mung beans into mung bean soup, add a little sugar and a little salt, and give the villagers a drink every two hours.

These days, it is rare for the villagers to eat sugar even during the Chinese New Year. Being able to drink the sweet mung bean soup is naturally a burst of happiness. Many people even called their children so that they can taste it too.

When Bai Zhu saw her, she simply asked these children to help move the bricks and soil, move the green bricks five times, or pick a load of soil to drink a bowl of mung bean soup.

The children were very motivated, and they worked harder than the adults in order to drink mung bean soup twice more.Even Li'er, who just got up, saw the excitement here, and ran over.

However, his brain was injured a few days ago, and he hasn't healed yet.Afraid that he would be tired, Bai Shu didn't let him work, but let him sit and watch. You can drink mung bean soup as you like.

Just when everyone was working in full swing, Bai He walked towards this side with light steps, waving a round fan.

A few days ago, he lost face and locked himself in his room every day.But after he got engaged recently, his whole person came back to life.

Although the weather was hot, Bai He still had a thick layer of powder on his face, and a thin layer of rouge on his cheeks, making the red mole on his forehead even redder.

He was wearing a satin dress, water red, with several delicate peach blossoms embroidered on the cuffs and neckline.The fabric and style have never been seen in the village.

Bai Shu actually finds Bai He's appearance very unaccustomed.

Not to mention the paintings on his face, but the pair of embroidered shoes on his feet are not suitable for wearing in the village at all.

No... After Bai He walked a few steps from the house, the embroidered shoes on his feet were covered with dust, and the beautiful crimson purple turned into mud color.

However, for most men in the village, Bai He's appearance is quite attractive.In other words, it is eye-catching.

They raised their heads to look at him frequently, and whispered to each other: "Look at Bai He, he is indeed betrothed to the old man in the city, and he has never seen any of the clothes on his body."

"That's not right. How about Li Sanlang being able to take a fancy to him before? Look at how well he dresses up. Sure enough, he has money from the city people."

Bai He heard it from afar, and slightly covered his lips with his round fan.He looked expressionless on the face, but he was proud and proud in his heart.

After being divorced by Li Sanlang, he was sad and desperate, and thought that he would not be able to marry.

But this is not a turn of events, but unexpectedly, he was taken by the rich old man in the prefecture city!

Although marrying that old man is not a real lady, but he is still a well-known concubine.In the future, the glory and wealth will not be inexhaustible, but it will be a bit more airy than marrying a poor scholar.

He is doing well, so naturally these villagers who look down on him should take a good look at him.

Especially Atractylodes!Isn't it just that you have two bad money, but you can't get married?

He wanted to deliberately show off in front of him, making Bai Shu envious of him.

While thinking about it, Bai He deliberately said: "Oh, Mr. Qian, the betrothed, insisted on giving me these silks and satins. I heard that his family has more than a dozen shops, and the materials in the shop are all There are too many to wear."

Bai Shu, however, acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and only frowned, looking at the blueprint in his hand.

He is thinking about the plumbing problem in this house, and he needs to make a good plan.

After all, in this era, many materials are not available, and the details have to be discussed with the craftsmen.

Seeing that Bai Shu didn't respond, Bai He was very angry.

He rolled his eyes, then turned and walked back to Bai's house.

Thinking of Bai Shu again, thinking that although he is now on the list of the Xie family, but the Xie family is the uncle's residence, so they will not give him a name after all.

He felt a lot more comfortable, and felt that Bai Shu couldn't compare with himself, he was a legitimate concubine.

Bai Shu got up and walked into the construction site, and walked around it carefully.

Most of the basement of his house has been repaired, and all of it needs to be built with green bricks.

There is an interlayer on the outside of the basement, which is filled with loess mixed with a lot of lime.The ratio of lime to loess is about six to four, and such an interlayer is used to isolate groundwater.

After a layer of interlayer, there is also lime to absorb moisture. After the basement is repaired, it is not easy to leak and grow mold.

In addition, in order to increase the firmness of the house, Baizhu also inserted a lot of bamboo strips into the soil outside the house to increase its toughness.

Similar to the steel bars in the house of the bug star, it makes the walls of the house more stable and tough.

Bai Shu walked around the repaired basement for a while, and after stepping on the spot, he went up to draw and modify the drawings with charcoal pencils.

After he took the blueprints to discuss with several craftsmen, they praised Bai Shu for a while, as if to praise Bai Shu as a living Lu Ban, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

When the construction site was too busy to finish a paragraph, Bai Shu took the time to go to the fish pond to have a look.

The fish in the fish pond have grown up, and a batch of small fry have emerged!

Every year from April to July is the spawning season for most fish.

And the fish in the Atractylodes fish pond.Several batches of eggs have been laid and a batch of young fry have hatched.

As a result, big fish and small fish are crowded together and move around in a pond that is no more than three acres. The water quality will inevitably be affected, which is also unfavorable to the growth of fish.

After taking a few glances at it, Bai Shu decided to catch the big fish and sell it now.

The big fish in the fishpond eat well and have no natural enemies. They grow like crazy in it, and now each one is more than a foot long.

Not only that, they are not wary of people, and the fish ponds are shallow, so they are very easy to catch.

In order to facilitate catching fish, Bai Zhu made a fishing tool by himself. One end is a bamboo pole, and the other end is bent into a circle with a bamboo strip to fix a circle of fishing nets.

Fish have a nature, that is, they will drill into narrow places when they feel danger.

Bai Shu took this tool and passed through the water for a while, and the stimulated fish got into the net one after another.

He then picked out the big fish inside and released the small fish back alive.After a while, a large bucket of fish was caught.

He tried this tool again for Chen Dongqing and Wang Mumu, and found that they could master the technique and easily catch many big fish with just a few practice sessions.

With such a tool, there is no need for Baizhu to catch fish himself every day.

And the big fish that were caught were brought by Chen Dongqing to Laifulou for sale.

But for the price of this big fish, Bai Shu still needs to find time to talk to shopkeeper Yan in person.

After all, a small fish is worth a penny, but it is only about an inch long.This big fish must be sold at more than this price?

In the end, whether it is still calculated according to the rules, or weighed by the catty, just follow the meaning of the shopkeeper Yan...

After the work in Baishu's hands was relaxed, he began to think about going back to the mountain.

A land as large as the back mountain, Atractylodes macrocephala was originally intended to be used for planting herbs and fruit trees.

But when he really started to imagine what kind of herbs he wanted to grow in the back mountain, he found that he wanted to take a step aside, and the sale of that kind of herbs might not be able to be carried out.

First of all, in the Great Xuan Dynasty, expensive medicinal materials were scarce. Once such rare medicinal materials were found, they had to be dug up and dried to sell for money.

If you want to grow medicinal herbs, you must find the seeds of rare medicinal herbs.But such a rare medicinal material, where can the seeds be sold?

It's not that Baizhu has never thought about digging in the mountains by himself, but many medicinal materials are hard to find in the first place, and there is a certain seasonality.

Even if you are lucky enough to find it, you may not necessarily have a seed.It is also impossible for him to circle those medicinal materials and prevent others from picking them. In this way, it is impossible for him to grow rare medicinal herbs, and he can only grow some low-level medicinal herbs.

But there are low-level medicinal herbs all over the mountains and plains, and now Chen Dongqing can't finish digging them every day. The main reason is that picking a large pile is worthless, so there is no need to plant them specially.

But he felt it was a pity that Bai Shu would give up the medicinal material business just like that.

After thinking about it, Bai Shu had an idea and thought of the pangolin from before.

He originally thought that pangolins were not easy to catch and raise, so he considered doing the herb business.But pangolins are not the only animals that can be used as medicine.

Bai Zhu carefully recalled the animals that could be used as medicine, and thought of a very suitable animal.

This kind of animal is not only convenient to raise, not easy to get sick, but also has a strong ornamental value!

This animal is the sika deer!

The velvet antler on its head is not particularly cherished, but because of its unique efficacy, it is also a popular health-care medicinal material among folk nobles.

At this time, both nobles and poor people regard bearing offspring as their top priority.

Therefore, all medicinal materials that can promote reproduction are extremely popular, and the price is quite expensive, and many rich people even take it for a long time.

Medicinal materials for invigorating the kidney and promoting essence like velvet antler, even the royal family bought a lot of them.

Among the nobles in the capital, it is even more common to take velvet antler.Drink antler wine or antler tea at any time.

Bai Shu once inquired that in the medical center in the county, a pair of sika deer antler can be sold for at least 50 taels of silver depending on its size.If you arrive in Fucheng or the capital, you may be able to sell it at a higher price.

Ordinary antlers can also be sold for about ten taels, which is very profitable.

Since Baishu's villa will receive rich people in the future and do some vacation and tourism business, it is better to domesticate sika deer in the back mountain.

Not only can cut antler to make money, but also can be viewed by people.

Thinking of this, Bai Shu decided to go to the mountains to catch some live deer for breeding.

The back mountain of Baitang Village is not big, just a small hill. There are a lot of hares and pheasants, but there are no such creatures as sika deer.

But behind Dongshan Village not far from Baitang Village, there is a very big mountain.The mountains are endless, and the end cannot be seen at a glance.

When the villagers there go up the mountain to cut firewood, they often encounter wild boars and deer.There are also hunters who catch animals such as deer or wolves with traps, and drag them to counties or prefectures to sell.If you want to catch deer, you can definitely catch it there.

Bai Shu is a person who will act when he thinks about it.

Taking advantage of the hot weather and the convenience of entering the mountain, he planned to leave in a few days.

But before that, Bai Shu decided to go to the county with Chen Dongqing first, and set the price for the big fish.

The next day, Shopkeeper Yan saw Xie's carriage and went out to greet him.

On weekdays, Brother Chen was usually the only one who came to deliver the fish, but today, Brother Bai came along with him on a rare occasion.

"Shopkeeper Yan." Bai Shu waved happily when he saw him, pointed to the big fish in the barrel and asked, "This time I brought the big fish you wanted, come and see, are you satisfied?"

Shopkeeper Yan's eyes lit up, he went over to take a look, and picked up one casually.

The fish was about a foot long, and it looked pretty good in his hands.He stroked his beard and nodded, "Very good, very good!"

"When you told me at the beginning, you said that small fish need about twenty tubes a day, and big fish need more than five." Bai Shu said, "But I've been too busy recently, so I really don't have time to catch small fish. If only Sell ​​this big fish to you, how much can you take?"

It is not a long-term solution to go to the river to catch fish alone.What's more, when autumn comes and the weather gets cold, it will be even more impossible for him to go down the river every day.

Bai Shu had already planned that in the future, apart from adding fish fry and giving Xie Huaiyu a taste, he would never go down the river to catch fish.

With the time saved, he can make more arrangements to expand his business.

If these big fish could not be harvested in Fulou, then Bai Shu was not going to continue to cooperate with them for tens of pennies, but would directly salt the fish and sell them to Fucheng.

The last time he saw someone selling salted fish and salted meat at the pier, the price was about the same as fresh fish in the county.In this way, Chen Dongqing does not need to deliver fish every other day, but only once a month.

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Yan immediately said, "I want all the fish you send, of course I want all of them."

If he didn't know the relationship between Bai Shu and Xie Huaiyu, he might have considered whether he could sell all these fish.But now that he knows that little brother Bai is favored by Dong Xie's family, shopkeeper Yan will never refuse to do business with him.

"However, with so many fish, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat so much every other day. Why don't you ask Brother Chen to deliver the fish every two days, and the amount of fish is enough." Shopkeeper Yan said.

"So many fish, can you sell them?" Bai Zhu asked curiously: "This time he came here, he specially caught some more, and the two buckets were full, there must be more than 100 fish.

"Easy and easy." Shopkeeper Yan said: "Our store has been selling live fish recently, and it has already gained a reputation, and there are many customers who come to eat fish. And those fish that cannot be eaten can also be pickled with salt. Make salted fish and sell them in winter."

Originally, every winter, Laifulou would go to Fucheng to purchase a batch of salted fish and bacon.Now that he has fish like Baizhu, he simply makes some salted fish himself, so that he doesn't have to go to the county to buy them in winter.

Hearing Shopkeeper Yan's words, Bai Shu also felt relieved, since Lai Fulou can accept as many fish as he wants, it is more convenient to be with him.

After all, he has cooperated with Laifulou for a long time, and he is familiar with the shopkeeper's servants, and he has a good impression of them.

And for the dishes of Lai Fu Lou, Bai Zhu also gave a suggestion of his own: "Shopkeeper Yan, in fact, the flesh of this kind of big fish is easy to remove, you can chop it up and add flour and egg liquid to make fish balls. And the fish bones It can be used to cook soup, use high broth to cook and cook, the taste is more delicious, and there is no waste, you can try it.”

It was the first time Shopkeeper Yan heard about the practice of fish balls, and he immediately smelled a business opportunity from it.Find a pen and paper, and ask Bai Zhu to tell him the detailed method of making fish balls.

Bai Shu didn't hide his secrets, he said it carefully, and shopkeeper Yan wrote it down on the paper.

"This fish ball recipe is really wonderful. Besides fish balls, it can also be extended to other dishes, such as meatballs or vegetable balls." Shopkeeper Yan immediately drew inferences and thought about some more dishes. "

Bai Shu nodded with a smile. This was a common dish at first, but he didn't specifically mention it just now. Shopkeeper Yan can think of it immediately, and his brain is quite good.

"Brother Bai, the dish of this fish ball is your idea. After I report it, I will definitely give you a suitable reward." Shopkeeper Yan said.

When Xie Huaiyu came last time, he didn't reveal to Bai Shu that he was the owner of Laifulou.A person as good as shopkeeper Yan, of course, immediately understood the meaning of the above, so he only said that he was going to report to the boss, and did not mention who the boss was.

As for the big fish sent by Baishu, Shopkeeper Yan decided to count them by the piece.

One big fish counted him five Wen, and there were more than 120 big fish in total. Shopkeeper Yan counted more than 600 copper coins, made up a whole number, and gave Baizhu 650 Wen.

Bai Shu did the math, compared to when he sold Xiaoyu before, he earned more than 200 wen in a few days.

And now he doesn't have to catch fish every day, everything can be handed over to the people below, and his body is much lighter.

After accompanying Chen Dongqing to exchange herbs, Bai Shu said to Chen Dongqing: "Brother Dongqing, I won't count your wages if you send me fish from now on. But I won't participate in the sale of herbs. You pick them yourself and sell them for money." , all that you get is yours, and there is no need to share it.”

Ever since Chen Dongqing reconciled and took Li'er alone, Bai Shu had already made such a plan.

Since he came to Baitang Village, Chen Dongqing was the first to speak for him, and later helped him a lot.

After getting to know each other these days, Chen Dongqing treats him wholeheartedly, and Bai Shu also regards him as a friend.

Besides, the one hundred yuan he earned from the business of picking medicinal herbs was nothing to Bai Shu.

Medicinal herbs grow all over the mountains and fields, and they are not from Atractylodes macrocephala.

Chen Dongqing was the one who dug the grass and dried the grass. He had already known the shopkeeper of the medical center.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have started their own cooking and put the money into their own pockets. Only Chen Dongqing is so honest and works diligently every day. Atractylodes was given.

"This...how can this be done!" Chen Dongqing immediately said in a hurry after hearing this: "This is your business, you found a way. I have already made a lot of money by following you, how can I get it by myself!"

"I'll give it to you if I say so." Bai Shu smiled and said, "I have other plans that are more profitable, and I'm not short of the money for this business. You've already started this business, so you can do it yourself, don't you Don’t want to save more money, buy a field and build a house earlier, and make plans for Li’er?”

Hearing Bai Shu talk about Li'er, Chen Dongqing finally hesitated.

Bai Shu stuffed all the two hundred Wen in exchange to Chen Dongqing and said, "Hold on, don't push any further. Besides, this business has no technical content, and wild vegetables and weeds are growing all over the mountain, and sooner or later it will I was learned by others. While no one is paying attention, you can earn more money and keep some guarantees for yourself. When my business starts to rise in the future, I am afraid I will need your help, and I may not be free to give you Picking herbs."

Only then did Chen Dongqing nod, and said solemnly: "From now on, just look to me for your affairs. I will definitely put you first. You saved my life and Li'er's. My own natal family is not as good as you. I am so good. When the grain grows up, I will let him honor you!"

In Chen Dongqing's eyes, Bai Shu probably won't get married, and he won't be able to have children, and he may have no one to raise him when he gets old.

When Li'er grows up, she simply doesn't want to marry, and recruits a poor son-in-law to stay at home.It can also give Baishu a good old age, and repay Baishu's life-saving grace.

Bai Shu and Chen Dongqing went back to Baitang Village and went directly to Xie Huaiyu's house.

He was going to hunt deer, and he didn't know how long it would take.He must not be at home that day, so he had to say hello to Xie Huaiyu.

Hearing that Bai Shu was going to hunt deer in the mountains, Xie Huaiyu frowned, his expression was rather frozen.

For the first time, he felt that the brother he had a crush on was too capable, and it was not a good thing.

"Although it's just hunting deer, ferocious beasts are indispensable in the mountains. Why don't you go to Dongshan Village for consultation and find a few hunters to help you catch them." Xie Huaiyu said.

He didn't want to let Bai Shu pass by, but he couldn't say it outright.

Bai Shu has always been interested in making money, and selling velvet antlers is also a good idea, and he couldn't bear to let such a bucket of cold water dampen his interest.

However, Bai Shu, who has always listened to Xie Huaiyu's words, directly rejected his proposal this time: "No way, those hunters hunt with bows and arrows, and the deer they caught are already dead. The purpose of going into the mountains is to catch them alive, and you have to do it yourself to be at ease."

When he was talking, his eyes were wide open, and he blinked at Xie Huaiyu.He was originally a handsome young man, but Xie Huaiyu found it a little pitiful.

Being looked at by him like this, Xie Huaiyu felt helpless, so he had to tell him: "In this case, you have to be careful. I have two good fighters here, and they can also do some boxing skills. I will let them go with you tomorrow."

Seeing Bai Shu nodded, Xie Huaiyu said uneasy: "Even so, don't rush in, you can only look around. If you don't find it for a while, you can go later. Don't accidentally go into the deep mountains. Then it will be difficult.”

Seeing Xie Huaiyu's worried look, Bai Shu felt a sweet taste in his heart.I was surrounded by happiness all over my body.

He used to be on Zombie Planet, before every expedition.Those soldiers with family members, the males in the family are also like this, and they instruct their females in every detail, which makes him envious.

Now, in the Great Xuan Dynasty, he also has someone who can worry about his safety!

Bai Shu looked at Xie Huaiyu for a moment, her eyes were black and bright, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled sweetly.

He really wanted to show off, Xie Huaiyu is such a good man, but he was worried about himself!

Bai Zhu's nose is a bit narrow and upturned, and when she looks at Xie Huaiyu with such a smile, she looks a bit childish.

Xie Huaiyu was still worried at first, but seeing Bai Shu's smile, he seemed to be infected by him again, and felt that hunting deer was no big deal.

He couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch Bai Zhu's nose, watched him open his mouth, and looked at himself in a daze.

"Why did I fall in love with a little fool like you?" Xie Huaiyu said as he slowly moved his fingers down, and gently stroked Bai Shu's lips with his thumb.

Baishu's lips are light in color, a faint rouge color.The upper lip is warped and thin, while the lower lip is thick and soft, full of elasticity.

Xie Huaiyu rubbed Baishu's lower lip with his thumb, his eyes darkened a little.It wasn't until seeing Bai Shu's face gradually blushing that he moved his fingers, pinched his chin and said, "Bai Shu, listen carefully. This time you go to the mountains, you must take good care of yourself. Since you want to be my man, you should be careful with your whole body. It’s all from me to thank Huaiyu, if there’s anything wrong with it, I’ll be the only one to ask you!”
