When Father Gu heard Gu Chengyu calling him, he was ready to step forward to help him. However, Yang Laosan called Wang Yueniang instead, and Father Gu stood still.
Wang Yueniang helped Yang Laosan up. The two of them said nothing and walked quickly with support. After a while, they disappeared outside the gate of the Gu family.
"Brother Gu has given birth to a good son! Let's wait and enjoy the blessings in the future! What happened today is from different standpoints, so it's difficult for me to do it! I hope Brother Gu won't be angry and forgive me!" Lin Li was looking at Gu.
Dad cupped his hand as an apology.
"What did Li Zheng say? You have your own difficulties too!" Father Gu said this, but in fact he was already dissatisfied with him in his heart. He didn't believe that Lin Li Zheng didn't use his family's money like the people in the village.
It’s his idea, it’s just that he knows how to talk!
After Lin Lizheng left, the Gu family finally returned to peace, but everyone was still a little aggrieved.
"Xiaobao! You have to be careful with this person! You offended him again today. He is a bit mean. Because of what happened last time, I think he has a prejudice against our family. This time you brushed it off again.
His face can't be guaranteed, and he won't cause trouble for our family in the future." Father Gu and the others entered the house and waited for Mrs. Lu and the others to get food.
"Dad! Don't worry! He's so lucky! He shouldn't blatantly deal with our family! Besides, he's also a smart man, and our family will get better and better. Could it be that he can still be at odds with our family? If that's the case, he
Li Zheng, don’t even think about doing it anymore.”
Gu Chengyu didn't believe that just because of his upright character, he would always do things in a regular manner. As long as he did it, there would be evidence. If he has been ignorant, then don't blame him for revealing his old record.
"As long as you know what's going on!" Father Gu didn't even notice it himself. Nowadays, he won't hide anything at home from his younger son. He is also used to his younger son making suggestions. In other words, Gu Chengyu already has something at home.
The right to speak.
Gu Chengyi looked at the little kid sitting by the kang. He was becoming more and more confused about this younger brother. It seemed that he could easily solve any problem in his hands. Even his father started to obey his words. No.
Ah! This is not possible. If Lao Wu plots against their brothers in the future, will Dad not stop him?
Is it really okay to let Lao Wu go? Let’s not talk about whether it can help the family to honor the ancestors. Lao Wu was originally very clever, but now that he is studying, it will be even more complicated. I am afraid that when the time comes, these brothers will be even more involved.
They were all having fun.
After a while, Mrs. Lu and the others brought the food up. The food had been prepared long ago and was hot in the pot. Who knew that they would encounter this problem when they came back? By now, they were all a little hungry.
.
Mrs. Lu ordered Mrs. Fang and the others to bring the food to the table. Gu Chengyu took a look at the braised pork ribs and saw that the ribs were bright in color, but
What about the meat on these ribs? Why did he only see a little lean meat connected to the bones? No wonder Father Gu said the ribs had no meat. It turns out that the ribs in ancient times were really bones, unlike in previous lives, where there was a lot of meat attached to the ribs.
, after all the lean meat here is removed, it is sold separately. It seems that if you still want to eat ribs in the future, you will have to make an agreement with the meat seller and spend a few cents more per pound.
After dinner was finished at home, Gu Chengyu started making soap.
First put the lard in a pot and heat it until it feels warm to the touch. We can only make a rough estimate here. Then slowly add the lard into the heated lye solution on the other side, which is the plant ash, and keep doing so.
Stir.
Gu Chengyu saw that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Fang were almost stirring, and asked them to pour the soap liquid into the prepared mold. This only needs to wait until the solidification is completed, take off the mold, and then put it in a cool place and put one or two
It should be almost a month.
I carefully observed the soap liquid poured into the mold and found that the color was not as good as in the previous life. It may be because it was made from plant ash. In ancient times, there was no soda ash. It was not easy to purify the plant ash. I looked at the yellow soap liquid and thought to myself.
You can also add some flower petals or essential oils in the future, which should look better than this.
"Xiaobao! Is this yellow thing really the soap you mentioned? How does it look like water? It's also sticky." While Lu and the others were making it, Father Gu and the others were also watching. Seeing such soap,
I'm a little worried as I don't know if I can take a shower and wash clothes.
"Dad! This one hasn't been done yet! It'll be ready when it dries. It still has to be left for more than a month. It can't be used now because it will burn your hands." Although Gu Chengyu was not satisfied with the appearance of the finished product, he felt that it was
The effect is still undoubted.
"Then our family has to move! What should we do with this soap? Do we have to move it to the house over there?" When Mrs. Lu heard Gu Chengyu said that it would still take more than a month, she was worried that if a house was built here, there would be no space for the soap.
Let go.
"Of course I moved there! It's close to the foot of the mountain and there are few people there, isn't it just right? That way others won't find out, so let's do these things first! We'll move in in two days
Let’s talk about the house, otherwise if you make too much, it will be troublesome to move around, and it will be bad if people in the village see it." Gu Chengyu just couldn't help it, and tried making a few pieces first, but he didn't expect it to be completed in one go.
, I picked up a pen and wrote down the proportion of the experiment just now, and I will do it according to this proportion in the future.
"Uncle Sun said that he will be able to build a house in the future. Our family will also need to recruit a few people to help." After finishing speaking, Father Gu lowered his eyes and thought for a while.
"Call Chengxiao from the eldest uncle's family, and a few more from the village. Alas! I don't know if I can call someone to help now. I guess there will be many people in the village going to do corvee work this time. People are here
Will it be bad if our family is busy building a house here after the meat is separated?" Gu Chengyi thought of how many laborers had left the village this time, so it would be difficult to recruit people, and they would also be gossiped about.
"What are you afraid of? Do you think they are all stupid? Those who don't want to go and can't bear to leave their children will sell their land, and they won't be able to go much. However, after this corvee, I'm afraid there will be less land in our village. I heard that Mr. Zhao has bought it.
If I go there, the money I will be given will be very little, and even if I get the money from the corvee, I am afraid my vitality will be severely damaged, and my future life will be miserable."
Father Gu is not afraid of finding strong labor. He heard the news today that land is being sold in the village. Mr. Zhao has made a lot of money this time. But he is not jealous of this money. He earned it like this.
He is holding silver to burn his hands, which is adding insult to injury.
Gu Chengli sighed with emotion after hearing what Father Gu said. He loved fields and crops the most. He felt bad when he saw so much land being sold at a low price. But his family couldn't afford it, so he could only watch.
"That's right! Families with little land have no food left after paying taxes. After selling their land, they can only rent Mr. Zhao's land. I guess it will be difficult for them to drink something thin in the future."
