After breakfast, Cheng Xue led people to sort out the things Li Hui brought back from this trip.
There are several boxes of dried fish, kelp, dried shrimps, etc., which can be moved directly to the kitchen. Since there are many people in the family, daily consumption is enough.
Preserved fruit, candied fruits and other snacks are not easy to store. Save what you eat at home, and share the rest with people you have good relationships with and workshops.
Divide a bamboo can into three parts and pack them with kraft paper.
As for the cloth brought back, along with the two cartloads of cloth that were given last time, as well as those given by Xiao Qinglin before, the family will not need to buy them for at least ten years. But if these things are not stored properly, they will easily get bugs, so Cheng Xue has no intention of hoarding them.
Pick out a part and give it to Yu Niang.
"When you have time, take the white peony root and white peony root to make the children's clothes. The materials are strong enough to be used. I will take the four of them out after the new year. Prepare enough clothes for others. Don't let the children lack clothes for at least three years.
Just let the two of you go for a while. You’ll have plenty of time to do it after we leave.”
"Yes, madam, I understand." Yu Niang nodded.
Cheng Xue pointed to the pile of concubine red materials and said:
"Ask the Gastrodia elata to be sent to the Ma family. It belongs to Pang Yao and Pang Lao. She knows what to do when she sees the ingredients."
"Yes."
Yuniang stood up in response and called her youngest son to give him something. After half a year away from home, Tiandong became calmer than before, and Tianma became more sensible than before.
Mothers rarely want to be separated from their children, but with their background, they cannot decide on their own, not to mention that the four children will be more successful if they stay with the master's family than with them. If one day the master's family shows kindness, the death contract
If it is changed to a living contract, the couple can finally close their eyes.
In addition to food, six feet of cloth are added to each portion. This thing is random, with cotton and silk cloth and satin surface, so you can see what you pick up immediately.
The workshop has two more supplies than the village. Counting the benefits given to them by the male boss when he comes back. Those without children will be given more cloth. Anyway, there is plenty of cloth at home.
Calculating it carefully, a person without food can get enough material for four clothes. This is a lot, because no family can buy four clothes a year.
After finishing the arrangement, Tiandong went out to push the cart and pulled the people from the workshop first. As for the gifts for the Jiang family, Dong family and others in the village, Bai Shao, Angelica dahurica and Gastrodia elata were sent to each family.
As for Yu Huai's share, he waited until the table was set at home, and Li Hui sent it off himself, and took the opportunity to say some personal words to the two elders.
Looking at the rest of the things that were moved into the warehouse, they were all saved in the past two years. Some were received as gifts, some were bought with money from selling grain, and some were exchanged for grain.
There are not many things, but it is a start. I believe that if you save a little bit in the future, you will always add up to something.
Cheng Xue decided on the dishes for the table and didn't bother with how many tables to set. It was just a two-hour flowing banquet. Whoever catches up will eat it. If you can't catch up, you won't have to make up for it.
Ten dishes, four meat and six vegetarian. It is midsummer and there are all kinds of vegetables in the fields, just pick them.
As soon as the dishes were ordered, Li Hui came back. Cheng Xue handed the paper over with a smile and said:
"Let's see if there's anything else to add."
Li Hui naturally pulled her up, then sat in her place and placed the person on his lap.
It seemed like a smooth operation, but in fact his heartbeat accelerated and his face turned red. Cheng Xue was also extremely surprised. However, neither of them moved and just maintained that posture.
Li Hui, who had read the recipe, put down the paper, held her slim waist, and said:
"lost weight."
Cheng Xue was surprised and looked at him in disbelief without saying a word. From the hospital exam to moving to the worries some time ago, she had indeed lost a lot of weight, but he had been away from home for more than half a year, how could she have noticed.
What's more, he has never touched it before.
Li Hui ignored her surprise and took out a wad of banknotes from his arms and handed it to her.
It was very thick, and each face value was fifty taels. After counting, Cheng Xue was stunned.
One thousand taels, actually there are one thousand taels.
"You...are you going to rob?"
"Absolutely." Li Hui nodded without concealment. His shyness disappeared a lot, and he immediately told the origin of the stack of banknotes.
After Mrs. Pang's accident, he asked the local soldiers to search for the remnants of the bandits, and he and Wen Tian also participated in it. During this process, he discovered the secret compartment, but did not say anything. Three days later, he and Wen Tian returned.
Past.
"...After we got the things, we handed them over to Mr. Pang. The old man was smart and did not give them to the local officials. Instead, he asked his son to bring someone over secretly and take away all the things."
"That's okay?!"
"It must be done!" Li Hui nodded heavily, "The location under the jurisdiction of Pang Pang is close to the sea, and the imperial court has issued a task to build the port within five years. It is easy to say, but the money is not enough, so I just sent this money. This thousand is
You can keep the reward you gave me."
"What about Wen Tian, Xiao Qinglin, and Zhou Fei?"
"Except for Wen Tian and I, there is no one else. The source is clean, so you can use it with confidence."
Cheng Xue nodded when she heard the words, put away the banknote, and asked Yu Niang to go find her third uncle to pick a living. The family is not short of money, and the income is enough. Since this money is a reward, let's spend it in practical ways.
I made an appointment with Yu Niang, and she went to Li Qingchun's house to wait. She would let her know when the day was ready, and then hurry up and set the table. The sooner the better, after all, there is still a day left on the first day of July.
When she arrived at Li Qingchun's house, Jiang Jianye happened to be there too. Cheng Xue directly told them about setting up the flowing banquet, and even gave them some of her own menus.
Who would have thought that Jiang Jianye would actually shake his head.
"No, no, no, there's no need to set up a flowing mat. What I mean is to simply set it up, mix it up a bit, and it will be passable. You are too grand, even two hours will be wasted."
"It's okay, Uncle Jiang. I've paid you all the 18 bows, and I'm not afraid of this." Cheng Xue thought about it completely.
If a meal can solve the problem, then don't worry about it. What's more, Jiang Jianye's original intention is for their own good, to stop the mouths of the villagers, so that no matter where you go in the future, you don't have to worry about anyone in the village saying bad things or holding back. p>
Li Qingchun felt that what she said was reasonable, nodded and said:
"That's it, we'll start when the third uncle has a good time to pick. People in the clan who are busy with fishing can't take your things in vain."
"Yes, yes, there are people in the village. Don't worry about big pots and stoves. Uncle and Dachun are here to help."
"Okay, then I won't be polite. Then it will all depend on my uncle and Brother Dachun."
"It should be." Li Qingchun smiled and nodded, "Girls drink tea, this year's new tea is very fragrant."
His wife and his brothers' wives all work in the workshop, and the two families have no share. They can get nearly 500 cash back every month. The clan fields are also taken back. As the clan leader, he has hard-earned money, so his life is easy.
.Already starting to prepare to buy a property and build a house, the two brothers separated and lived alone.
Cheng Xue picked up the tea cup and took a sip and said:
"I heard from my sister-in-law that my aunt is doing the cooking at Brother Dachun's house recently, and she is in good health."
"Yes, my mother has been getting better day by day since the last time you showed me her. Now Qingdong's monthly salary at the forestry farm has also increased. If life goes well, so will the family."
