Chapter 66 Something is wrong

"I guess the eldest master doesn't know that Madam Jiang knows a lot of things. Madam bought those puppet patterns from Madam Jiang..." - The order quantity for the bag this time is fifteen.

The number of scholars in Wende Academy is limited, and the number of people who will take the exam next year is even smaller, so the number of bags and boxes has almost reached saturation.

However, after these two or three times, I have earned more than ten taels of silver, which is quite a generous reward.

This period is the peak season for picking autumn tea, and because the weather is not as dry as in summer, the tea leaves are dried slowly, so the tea garden ordered another twenty large baskets.

In addition, some simple herringbone pattern mats were ordered in preparation for the roofing before winter.

Take thin bamboo poles, tie them into five-inch squares, and then cover them with mats. It is somewhat similar to the simple contemporary suspended ceiling.

By building this layer, the heat from the charcoal fire in winter will not go up to the high roof, and the heat in summer can be gathered on the roof and not go down, achieving the effect of warm in winter and cool in summer.

The bags and boxes will still be delivered in half a month, and the baskets for the tea garden will also be delivered in half a month. But because I'm busy recently, the ceiling work can be postponed, and the mats can be postponed another half a month.

In this way, this work can be arranged.

"It's a pity that I listened to Xiao Xia and set up this workshop at home. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to finish the work in time. I can only look at the money but not make any money. I'm afraid the business with the tea garden will also be affected."

Jiang Youcheng was busy working while feeling emotional.

"I said I would listen to my daughter." Liu poured her a cup of hot tea and said with a smile.

Song Jingyun, who was busy at the side, raised his eyelids slightly and curled up the corners of his mouth.

He had known for a long time that he should listen to his wife, but his parents only realized it now.

It seems that his parents are not as smart as him...

While others were busy, Jiang Mixia was also busy and started drawing a new set of puppet patterns.

This time I drew a puppy.

Next year is the Year of the Dog and winter is coming soon. Qiuji should rush the work and start selling the products around winter, which will be a good start.

After a few busy days, it is time to plant winter wheat.

Regarding this matter, Jiang Mixia's family of four got together to discuss what to do with the five acres of land at home.

The workshop was busy. Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun, two strong laborers, were too busy to spare a moment. Jiang Mixia was also busy drawing patterns and making clay dolls. Liu also had to take care of the family's feeding and clothing. Almost everyone was too busy to spare a moment.

It was finally decided to rent out the five acres of land. In addition to the annual tax on the land, only 20% of the rent would be collected, and the rent could be paid after the grain was harvested, without having to be paid in advance.

The news quickly spread throughout Jiangjia Village, and many people were thinking about renting the five acres of land.

After all, the rent is cheap and the location is not bad.

But Jiang Zhengxin also spoke out about this matter.

It is said that according to Jiang Youcheng's idea, the land leasing matter was handed over to him as the village head to help manage, and his idea as the village head was to give priority to renting the land to those families who were short of land and whose life was not well off.

As soon as these words were spoken, no one in the entire Jiangjia Village disagreed.

They are all from the same village and clan. There is nothing wrong with them coming here to help the poor people.

So, several people who were living in poverty went to find Jiang Zhengxin one after another to see if they could rent the five acres of land.

Jiang Datou also went.

Since we have to farm well, if we can have more land, we can also earn more money to buy medicine for my mother.

Just as he was walking towards Jiang Zhengxin's house, he saw Jiang Dazhuang entering Jiang Zhengxin's house from afar.

During the autumn harvest some time ago, Jiang Dazhuang's father went to the field to cut corn stalks. He tripped and the sickle pierced his thigh. There was blood all over the ground and he almost died.

In order to get his father medical treatment, Jiang Dazhuang and his mother sold several acres of land to raise money for his father's medical treatment. In the end, his life was saved, but his legs were injured and he could only limp from then on and could not do heavy work.

Jiang Dazhuang spent most of his family's money and even borrowed a lot of money from neighbors.

Because of this incident, Jiang Zhengxin took the initiative to subsidize Jiang Dazhuang's family with a few bags of corn so that the family could have food to eat. However, Jiang Dazhuang is only fourteen years old this year. He has an eight-year-old brother and a six-year-old sister, as well as elderly grandparents. However, the family only has four acres of land. Although he can have food to eat now, it is hard to say what will happen at the end of the year.

It is understandable that he wanted to rent land for farming.

Seeing this, Jiang Datou was a little hesitant.

Jiang Dazhuang's family is in an even more difficult situation than his family right now.

Jiang Datou paced back and forth at the door of Jiang Zhengxin's house for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth and prepared to go home.

After all, his family still has more than ten acres of land. Although the money for medical treatment is a bit tight, at least he won't starve.

Jiang Zhengxin happened to send Jiang Dazhuang out. Seeing Jiang Datou hurriedly leaving, he called out, "Datou?"

Jiang Datou stopped and said, "Uncle Lizheng."

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Zhengxin asked.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No, nothing..." Jiang Datou scratched his head, "I just came out for a walk, well, I have to go back to cook, so I'll leave first."

Jiang Datou almost ran away.

Jiang Zhengxin just kept shaking his head.

What are you cooking for in such a long time? This honest child wouldn’t even lie.

The young people in Jiangjia Village are all good.

Jiang Zhengxin smiled, put his hands behind his back, and went home.

The five acres of land of Jiang Mixia's family were finally rented to Jiang Dazhuang's family. Jiang Dazhuang was very grateful and wanted to give something as a reward, but his family had nothing at the moment, so he just helped Jiang Mixia's family and fetched water from the river for several days.

Jiang Dazhuang didn't stop until Jiang Mixia and Jiang Youcheng changed from dissuading him to scolding him.

In late autumn, even when the sun is shining brightly at noon, it does not feel hot. After noon, you can immediately feel a noticeable coolness.

Liu had already started making winter clothes. She cut the rabbit skins that Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia had skinned earlier into wide strips, preparing to sew them on the collars of Song Jingyun and Jiang Mixia when the time comes.

The fur blocks the wind and keeps you warm, and is especially suitable when placed around the neck. It is a very bright gray color, and looks good with clothes of various colors.

For the remaining ones, Liu prepared to sew two warm sleeves, which would be convenient for Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun to use in winter.

Jiang Youcheng saw this, "..."

Why does it feel a little wrong?

It seemed that his wife had completely forgotten to make something for him? After thinking seriously for two days, Jiang Youcheng felt that it was because there were too few rabbit skins.

After all, when there are few things, just focus on the children first.

So Jiang Youcheng bought several complete rabbit skins from the hunters in the neighboring village and handed them over to Liu.

Mrs. Liu was very happy when she saw the rabbit skins. "I was just thinking about whether to buy some more rabbit skins, and it happened that you brought them back."

"Of course, who am I?" Jiang Youcheng said happily, "I knew you would want these things, so I bought them right away."

On Monday, I always feel more depressed when I go to work...
