Some people started to think outside the box.
"Even some woven trinkets, like mantises and grasshoppers made of wheat straw, can be sold. And the village's bamboo craftsmen can also weave bookshelves and book boxes..."
Da Cheng's father, Guihua's sister-in-law, and the others had slightly red eyes. It was because they were working hard. Although they didn't expect to get a reward, when the reward suddenly came unexpectedly, their hearts suddenly turned from bitter to sweet.
very nice!
Mr. Zhou stood aside, watching quietly.
He smiled silently.
What a leisurely scene of a mountain village gathering.
As the sun began to set, its golden rays bathed everyone's faces, and each person wore a broad smile.
The cicadas sing their evening songs throughout the myriad trees.
evening.
Our family ate twice-cooked pork, mixed flour pancakes, cold bitter chrysanthemum salad, and garlic-flavored preserved eggs... We drank porridge with peanuts and broad beans in it.
A layer of red skin formed on top of the brownish-red broad bean porridge. San Niu put her lips to the bowl and blew on the skin, and a round bubble immediately rose up inside.
Poke it with chopsticks, pop!
Chen Xian was calculating how many copper coins the Chen family had earned in the past few days.
Half a pig weighed 85 catties, costing two taels of silver, and sold for a total of more than four taels of silver.
The whole family's eyes lit up.
Dazhu chuckled, "I never would have imagined this before. Our family can earn so much money just by working for a day or two!"
Erzhuzi nodded.
"Of course, if it weren't for my great-grandfather's family coming to help, our family would have been completely overwhelmed."
Chen Xian laughed and said, "Give the money to your great-grandfather's family, but he'll probably think differently. Let's send the remaining ten or so pounds of meat to his family later!"
Erzhuzi nodded.
Chen Xian added, "The house roof beam will be raised tomorrow. Let's get up early tomorrow and go to town to buy some wedding cakes, candies, peanuts, and melon seeds."
At this point, Cuihua glanced at her aunt beside her and smiled gently.
Liniang lowered her head and ate her food with a shy expression.
Shuangshuang was also engrossed in her meal, seemingly unaware of what this meant.
Dazhu chuckled.
"Yes, we also need to buy some firecrackers. I reckon the village hasn't been this lively in years!"
"Oh, and we should also buy some drinks."
Fireworks and firecrackers already existed in this era, and the government did not prohibit them.
Mr. Chen learned that this was because fireworks and firecrackers of that era were not very powerful, and the explosion range was only within one or two meters.
Minor squabbles.
After finishing the meal.
Erzhu carried a lantern and jogged off to deliver pork to his great-grandfather.
Li Niang, who had been silent all along, asked, "Should our family continue to set up a stall at the food street?"
"Go, let's wait until the day after tomorrow."
Li Niang felt a slight mix of emotions, and smiled softly.
"I wonder what those fickle vendors who were originally observing will think when they see our family setting up a stall again?"
Chen Xian: This is the tragedy of the weak.
Ordinary people simply don't have the confidence to resist. Ma Jinping turned the food festival into a mess, and as the weak, they could only swallow their bitterness.
If it weren't for my slightly elevated status, allowing me to plan ahead earlier...
The Chen family will likely be tormented by these people as well.
With a calm mind: improve social standing, make money, and urge the Chen family children to study for the imperial examinations to secure a respectable social position. All three tasks must be grasped firmly and effectively.
