Chapter 25: Fight
This time it is Liu Caisheng.
As soon as Liu Caisheng entered the courtyard gate, he bowed to Xia Mingyue several times.
"Thank you, Madam Xia, thank you Madam Xia..."
"Brother Liu said something serious." Xia Mingyue hurriedly blessed her with a blessing in return, "Brother Liu, I mean it Don’t dare.”
"Mrs. Xia, you don't have to be polite. If Mrs. Xia hadn't caught Zeng Liu, the Yamen wouldn't have been able to find out about the theft of the Shi family's silver. I would still be suspected by everyone of stealing the Shi's family's silver."
Liu Caisheng was a little excited and said He said stumblingly, "Now that Zeng Liu has been caught, everyone understands the truth, and I am innocent, my reputation has been rectified, and I will no longer be pointed at and called a thief..."
When he said this, Liu Caisheng couldn't help but choke.
A man of such age and tall stature actually had tears in his eyes.
The feeling of being wronged is so uncomfortable.
Especially since he considers himself to be an extremely honest person who never does anything wrong. To be wronged like this is like being stripped naked and paraded through the streets, without any dignity at all.
Especially the mother of the family who loves face the most. She is not in good health. At this time, she is crying all the time because of his affairs...
Words like living like a year are not enough to describe him. The two days of suffering were sad.
Fortunately, Zeng Liu was arrested and the truth about Shi Jia's stolen silver came to light. He also washed away his grievances and no longer disliked him.
This is all Xia Mingyue’s contribution.
Liu Caisheng remembered this kindness, and after the Yamen told him the whole story, he immediately rushed over to express his gratitude.
Xia Mingyue could understand Liu Caisheng's excitement at this time, and could understand his mood at this time, but she did not dare to take credit, "This incident is just a coincidence. In the final analysis, it was Zeng Liu who wanted to do evil. We It was just a coincidence that we were able to catch him. That’s all.”
“Although it is a coincidence, it has also helped me a lot. My mother has taught me since I was a child that I must remember kindness. Madam Xia deserves this thank you.”
< br>Liu Caisheng placed the things he brought in the courtyard On the table, "My mother is not in good health on weekdays. I work occasionally and don't make much money. During this period, my mother became seriously ill because of my affairs. All the money at home was spent on soups and medicines. There is really nothing I can do." Something you can get your hands on.”
“I heard that Mrs. Xia sells meat cakes on the street on weekdays. Green onions are needed when mixing the meat fillings. These are the green onions planted by my mother in the yard, so I dug up a bunch of them. Mrs. Xia Don’t dislike it.”
"I also heard that Madam Xia went to Bei City yesterday. Did she want to do some work? I have no other strengths, but I have all the strength. Madam Xia, see if there is anything you need my help with?"
"I really want to do some work." Xia Mingyue said, "Now I want to make a smaller earthen bed."
"This is easy to handle. I will help Madam Xia check the size of the land and the size of the home." There are ready-made green bricks, and I can start working tomorrow." Seeing the opportunity to express his gratitude, Liu Caisheng hurriedly accepted.
“You can do the work, but the money must be collected according to the market price. Otherwise, I won’t let you do the work and find someone else to do it.”
"This..."
Liu Caisheng was dumbfounded, and after a moment he said, "I only charge a fee for the materials."
What the wages buy is physical strength, that is, strength. He is full of strength and is worthless.
Xia Mingyue didn't say anything more, just nodded, "Okay, I just want to put a small plate on the north wall of the back room. I can put something there on weekdays and use it for making noodles in winter. If it's If you have someone at home, you can make do with it, as long as the size suits you.”
It’s not very particular.
"It's done." Liu Caisheng went into the house to look at the place and roughly measured the size so he could see how much material he needed to prepare.
There were differences between men and women, so Xia Mingyue waited first in the courtyard.
Liu Caisheng came out quickly, "The soil is dug casually, and it doesn't cost money, which is the same as the money to buy blue bricks. The half-drawn bricks in the corners can also be used, and the whole green bricks are used for the kang surface. Shi Ban estimated that five hundred dollars would be enough."
"I will come to work early tomorrow morning and try to finish the job in one day." Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to sleep at night.
"Okay." Xia Mingyue agreed, and after saying a few more words, sent Liu Caisheng out.
The green onions sent by Liu Caisheng were thick and tall, and they were plentiful, enough to last for several days.
Xia Mingyue went outside to inquire about the current selling price of green onions, then estimated the weight of the bundle of green onions, and secretly wrote down the converted amount of money.
The next day, Liu Caisheng came early.
The earthen kang required more materials than the stove. Liu Caisheng's flatbed truck made two trips to transport all the green bricks and loess to the yard, and then he started fetching water and mud.
Having still told Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu to help take care of them at home, Xia Mingyue and Lu finished making the cakes and started selling them on the street.
Business is particularly booming today.
Looking at the number of people coming and going on the street as usual, Xia Mingyue was a little surprised, "What day is it today? Why is the street so busy?"
"County government office Grain is being harvested at a high price, and farmers nearby who have surplus grain come to the county town, hoping to sell it at a good price. "
The lady selling pea yellow smiled and said, "It will probably take some days to harvest the grain. This farmer has sold the grain and has money in his hands. It is inevitable that he will buy more food. He must make more food in these two days. , take this opportunity to make some money.”
The pea yellow she made today was half as much as yesterday.
"Thank you for reminding me, ma'am." Xia Mingyue responded with a smile, but she whispered to Mrs. Lu, "Sister-in-law, this county government collects grain at a high price, so I'm afraid it's not going to be sent to the army."
" It should be." Lu responded.
The military camp where Lu Qiyan and the others were stationed was fifty miles further west in Jinqiu County.
Several nearby counties and even prefectural cities are all cities that supply military camps.
And the army suddenly needs so much food and grass, there is a high probability that there is only one thing...
There's going to be a war.
And it’s a big battle.
Nowadays, the world is divided among all the great powers. Countries are unwilling to live in one corner and only want to dominate the whole world. The same should be true for the Great Zhou Kingdom today.
War is inevitable and will continue for a long time.
Xia Mingyue suddenly remembered Lu Qiyan.
Hope he's okay.
Perhaps seeing Xia Mingyue's worry, Mrs. Lu patted her gently and said, "Don't worry, sister and brother, Youcai and Qiyan are both blessed people, so everything will be fine."< br>
"Yes." Xia Mingyue nodded, pursed her lips and smiled.
It'll be okay.
Business was good today, and all the pancakes were sold out half an hour earlier than usual. Xia Mingyue and Lu closed the stall early.
On the way back, Xia Mingyue bought some fresh eggs and new mung bean sprouts sold by farmers.
Just like the last time Liu Caisheng came to build the stove, Xia Mingyue had to take care of the food, so she invited the Lu family to her home for dinner again.
