[Comprehensive] Traveling through Cheng Kangmin

It was still early to leave the Beggars' Gang, so Kang Min went to the shop to buy gifts for Wang Hu, Gao Linjun and the others.

A few days ago, due to pregnancy reaction, I had to stay in the house to recuperate. Unfortunately, I couldn’t eat well, sleep well, I didn’t have a computer, a mobile phone, or even a TV or radio. Kang Min’s eyes were dizzy after reading the traditional Chinese script. She couldn’t stay at home for a long time. .Now that the fetal sign has stabilized, she is like a prisoner who is released, and she doesn't have to endure the double nagging from Kang Zhao and Xiu Gu if she stays outside for a long time.

It is best to drink mutton soup during the winter solstice.But Xinyang is not far from the main rudder of the Beggar Clan, even if it is cold in winter, it will not be able to withstand the ten-day journey, so Kang Min did not send mutton, but bought silk, cotton, fine cloth, silk thread and other things at home to cut them, and made two sets with Xiugu Cotton clothes, two pairs of shoes, plus cakes and fruits, etc., were divided into two parts and packed. After a few days, the clothes and shoes were ready, and Kang Min and Kang Zhao went to the beggars' gang again.

Kang Min originally thought that it would be enough to hand over the things to any Beggar Clan disciple, but he didn't expect that the disciple guarding the gate had seen them last time and knew they were Qiao Feng's acquaintances, so he let them in without a pass.

Kang Min and Kang Zhao entered the courtyard, bypassing the row of upside-down houses in front, there was an open space with weeds overgrown in the corners, and a thick banyan tree in the center was now withered and withered leaves, leaving only bare branches.

In winter, everyone is wrapped in heavy cotton-padded clothes, and even beggars have to tie a circle of straw and put a few layers of reed flowers better than nothing.The burly man under the tree was wearing a loose short-sleeved singlet, and he didn't even frown even though his skin was stretched by the thin fabric blown by the biting cold wind.

The thin clothes were tightly attached to his body, stretching out his figure, the muscular chest, the strong muscles of the arms and thighs, and the broad back were more eye-catching than if he was naked.

Qiao Feng was boxing under a tree. Kang Min didn't know martial arts. In modern times, he had only seen old men and women in the park doing Tai Chi slowly.But Qiao Feng's punches were fierce and powerful, wherever the wind of the punches went, the air flowed against it, and the fallen leaves hit Xuan'er and changed direction, running in the opposite direction from the other leaves.

Sweat slid from his forehead, soaking the cloth and revealing a flesh color.

Kang Min's heart was beating wildly, she couldn't help but stop talking, and said silently: Do not see evil, do not see evil, see no evil, do not see evil.

"Father, Master Qiao is practicing, let's come back later." Kang Min felt that as an ancient woman, she should avoid it.

Qiao Feng has good ears and eyes, and he can clearly see the movement within a few feet around him. He regarded Kang Min's father and daughter as disciples in his gang. Rub it all over your head indiscriminately. "It turned out to be Mr. Kang and Miss Kang. Qiao Feng was rude."

After apologizing to the two of them, Qiao Feng called a disciple to lead them into the side hall where they came last time, Qiao Feng came in as soon as he sat down.He hastily wiped the sweat off his body, he didn't know whether it was from sports or from an injury, his face was rosy, and he was slightly out of breath.

The scene just now was really the largest scene that Kang Min has ever seen since time travel. It was different from the muscles trained in the gym watching those celebrities and fitness trainers through the TV screen. People feel white and soft.Every muscle in him contains strength and vigor, which have been honed through the tempering of internal strength and fighting with real knives and guns.

It made a woman want to scream when she saw her heartbeat.

For the first time, Kang Min had the desire to get married quickly.

This thought was blown out by the wind like a candle when he touched his stomach.

Kang Min and Father Kang didn't exchange pleasantries today, they entrusted the things to Qiao Feng and left.Walking on the street, Kang Zhao noticed that his daughter was distracted, and asked strangely, "Minmin, what are you thinking?"

Of course Kang Min would not answer "I miss a man".

"I'm thinking...if the slippers sell well, I will develop new varieties, um, and Xiugu has to wash clothes, cook, clean, take care of me, and do needlework. I'm too tired. Should we hire more people?"

Apart from his daughter and the land, Kang Zhao didn't worry about anything in the family, so he only said, "You decide."

Kang Min held her stomach and walked slowly towards the house.

Xiu Gu has already cooked the meal and is turning over the dried vegetables in the yard to dry.Seeing Kang Min's father and daughter coming in, they wiped their hands and greeted them. First, they greeted Kang with blessings, and then said to Kang Min, "Mr. Qian just came and said that the slippers we consigned are sold out, and the money has also been delivered. I will let you go." In your room."

Kang Min was pleasantly surprised: "It's all sold, that's great!" Without thinking about eating, he took Xiugu's hand and went back to the room to count the money he earned.

Some of the scattered copper coins were stained with oil, and some had polished edges.Kang Min counted them one by one.Mrs. Qian had the most slippers, twenty pairs in total.After deducting Mrs. Qian's share and material money, she made a total of 170 Sanwen.It was supposed to be two hundred coins, but the housewives couldn't help but bargain hard.

For Kang Min's current consumption level, 170 Sanwen is very little, but the fact that he can sell [-] pairs of slippers in less than half a month shows that slippers are marketable.

"When Mrs. Qian left, she said that if she had dozens of pairs of slippers, she would help us sell them." Xiugu said happily.To be honest, the handwork cost of making shoes is not as high as that of embroidery, but embroidery is demanding and not always available. Slippers are different. The skills are simple, and you can do something every day, and you can earn a few pennies.

Stability has always been the most desired thing in the minds of ordinary people.

Good things come in pairs, and in the afternoon, Mrs. Liu came to tell Kang Min that she still had two pairs of slippers left, and asked her when she would ship them, so as not to run out of stock.

As soon as Kang Minxing came up, he brought two sheep home before the Winter Solstice, hired a butcher to kill them, and gave five catties to Xiugu's family, five catties to Mrs. Luo's family, five catties to Hao Tai's, and five catties to the other small sheep. Gouzi, Hong Taishan and others weigh two catties each.In this way, a lot of mutton was taken, which made Kang Zhao feel distressed.

Things for the festival are always more expensive than usual, not to mention mutton is not cheap in normal times.

Kang Min was happy when he spent the money, but he was also a little cautious afterwards.But after thinking about it, living a lifetime, eating and drinking, plus a little bit of happiness, is perfect.It can't be like in the previous life, when she didn't enjoy anything and just crossed over all at once, and wasted the two-bedroom apartment she had just paid the down payment for.

And when it comes to sheep, you have to talk about wool.

Wool is a good thing. Can you get a pure woolen sweater without 2000 yuan in modern times?There are also woolen coats, which are ridiculously expensive.

In the ancient times with low productivity, the price is certainly not as good as the inflationary modern times.However, purely in terms of purchasing power, ancient money is much more valuable.

Thinking of wool, Kang Min then thought of duck down.

That's a good thing, too, better than cotton.Today's duck feathers are not even as good as chicken feathers for making shuttlecocks. Basically, they can only be thrown away. The cost of purchasing duck down is lower than that of wool.

However, is there such a tight fabric in ancient times that can keep the down from leaking out?And how to remove the peculiar smell of duck down?By the way, how is wool cut into thread?

The modern souls that depend on supermarkets for their survival have fallen into deep confusion.

It doesn't matter, if you don't know how to study, you can find out by yourself if you can't learn, the road is made by people, let alone know the clear direction.

After the winter solstice and the new year, Kang Min's belly was swollen, and she hadn't seen her feet for a long time.The body is getting tired more and more easily, it is difficult to turn over, and the legs are swollen. Fortunately, there are no legendary spots on the face, and there are no stretch marks on the stomach.The feeling of having a child in my stomach is getting more and more wonderful. I can feel the heartbeat of another life anytime and anywhere. I have never felt such a wonderful feeling.The previous kind of raising a child was too troublesome, heavy burden, and heavy responsibility, so the mentality of disgust became weaker and weaker, and now it has almost disappeared, and every fetal movement is a shock.

Kang Min is just an ordinary, slightly indifferent modern white-collar worker who follows the rules and obeys the law.When she really realized that what was in her belly was a fresh little life, not just the oil bottle and burden left by her original body, an unprecedented sense of guilt swept over the modern waste material that even dared not kill a chicken. .

Well, good boy, I will make it up to you, don't blame me!Kang Min held his stomach and thought.

The baby was really a good baby, and he didn't hold any grudges against Kang Min at all. The evidence was that the birth was very smooth.There was no dystocia, no waiting time, from labor pains to birth, within an hour, the midwife Wen said repeatedly: "I have been in the business for more than ten years, and I can count the number of easy births like yours... "While talking, he scrubbed the crying baby neatly, wrapped it in swaddling clothes and placed it beside Kang Min.

Xiugu wiped Kang Min's body briefly and tidied up his clothes.Kang Min endured the discomfort and propped up his upper body to look at the small face that was only the size of his own palm: the puffy cheeks were a little red, it was indeed not the white and fat appearance in modern pictorials, but it was not the wrinkled red monkey that I heard. so ugly.Although his eyebrows hadn't grown out and his eyes were tightly closed, one could already tell that his facial features were handsome, and when he opened them, he must be a handsome young man who fascinated thousands of young girls.

Oh, I don't know which little lady will be so lucky to be my daughter-in-law in the future!

Kang Min had no idea how maternal his expression was at the moment.The women who had seen the childbirth gave a knowing smile.

"It's a boy, don't look at his blushing now, he will be white and tender in a few days, he is very human~" Wen Po said with a smile.

Kang Zhao's anxious voice came from outside the delivery room: "What's the matter? What happened? Give me a call!"

Xiu Gu and the newly hired Yue Niang speeded up the action of cleaning up the pickled things, dumbfounded.

Kang Min's face was full of black lines, how could this father talk!

"A boy was born! Old man, you have a grandson!" Xiugu raised her voice.

There was no movement outside the door, and after a while, there was a rush of footsteps.Those who are familiar with Kang Zhao know that he can't help but pace back and forth at this time.

Kang Min tucked her swaddling clothes, pulled up the quilt, and then lay down slowly, letting go of her exhaustion, and fell into a deep sleep.

Kang Zhao became a grandfather, excitedly carrying red eggs around the neighborhood.Every time I receive a "Congratulations, Congratulations", the smile on my face deepens.The red eggs were not given away for free. Every time Kang Zhao went to a house, he would ask for a reward for old clothes, and took them home and cut them up to make Baijia clothes for the baby.

Before the baby was born, Kang Zhao was collecting old clothes, and now he had just made up a hundred clothes. Xiugu and Yueniang scalded them with hot water, rubbed them clean, cut them up, made several pieces of clothes from Baijia, and cut the rest into pieces. diaper.

There was no diapers or milk powder, which indeed brought Kang Min a lot of trouble.Fortunately, she is also a hired worker now. With the help of Xiu Gu and Yue Niang, the novice mother is not in a hurry.

The baby was only twenty days old, so Kang Zhao asked the old scholar to write invitations for the full moon wine, and sent them door to door.

The Xinyang branch of the beggar gang, Qiao Feng was not there when Kang Zhao went, so he had to hand over the invitation to Hao Tai with regret.

In the afternoon when the sun was about to set, Hao Tai heard that Qiao Feng was going back to the city, and he was accompanied by two assistants.

Although there are many beggar gangs, most of the heroes in the world are single men, and the few who have wives and children are mostly informal. They have never had any full moon wine. This is the first time in Qiao Feng's life that he has received an invitation to eat full moon wine. Fresh.

Wang Jiantong, who passed by Xinyang for a rest, looked at the invitation card, stroked his beard and sighed: "Feng'er is 22 this year, right?"

The mentor suddenly mentioned Qiao Feng's age, Qiao Feng said in surprise, "Exactly."

"If it's an ordinary person, children at the age of 22 should be able to walk back. Sigh...as a teacher, I have neglected Feng'er's lifelong event." Wang Jiantong looked at the invitation card in Qiao Feng's hand with a sad expression. "Recently, my teacher's health is getting worse every day, and I don't know how long I can live. Before I die, I should find a marriage for you, Feng'er, to comfort your... parents."

Qiao Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Teacher, how could this disciple be so thoughtful, besides, my father and mother never urged me to get married."

Wang Jiantong smiled and remained silent.
