Chapter 74 Live Next Door

Mrs. Zhao stopped crying, feeling that her tears were wasted and it was not worth getting angry with the idiot, so she continued to make dumplings with her head down.

Zhulan clapped her hands, and when she heard the movement of Zheng's family, she motioned for Mrs. Li to go out and have a look.

Mrs. Li obediently went out to have a look and came back soon, "Mother, Wang Laosi and his family live in Zheng's house, and they pay five Wen a day. Aunt Zheng really has a dark heart."

Mrs. Zhao sneered, "Whoever makes Wang Laosi pretend to be generous, as if he is richer than the landlord, Aunt Zheng will not kill him."

She looked down on Wang Laosi, her wife didn't protect her, and her daughter was abused as if she didn't see it. To be honest, in her eyes, Wang Laosi is a wimp.

It's better for my own husband to protect her and my daughter. Every time I go out, I secretly buy delicious food for her and my daughter. Thinking of her husband, Mrs. Zhao blushes.

Zhulan was not in the mood to pay attention to the change in Zhao's expression, she was in a trance, this time she became a neighbor, luckily the fence was newly cut, otherwise Wang Ru lived next door, she would not be able to sleep well.

In the evening, there were two large pots of dumplings, and the table was full of dumplings. The four sons each had two large plates, and they also poured several bowls of dumpling soup.

The eldest granddaughter ate seven of them even when she was young, if she was not afraid of accumulating food at night, she would still want to eat more.

In the end, not only the two big pots of dumplings were eaten up, but also the dumpling soup. Zhulan looked very sad. A meal of dumplings was not a feast for the whole Han Dynasty, and she was still too hungry to eat.

Not wanting to move after eating, the little grandson Ming Teng touched his round belly, "It would be great if I could eat dumplings every day."

Mrs. Li patted his son's head, "I thought of a good thing. It's not bad to be able to eat a few meals of pure flour dumplings a year."

Changing to another house, I can only eat a meal during the Chinese New Year. Thinking about it like this is so flattering, and the sisters in the family are all envious of her good marriage!

Ever since Boss Zhou knew his family background, he didn't care about everything in his heart. Eating a meal or two of dumplings was nothing. He looked at his son's angry face with a smile, and thought of himself asking, "Mom, did you say daddy is here?" Is it Jiangnan?"

Zhulan specifically asked her elder nephew that it would take about ten days to travel by horse-drawn carriage from the county to the canal without delay, and at least ten days for the canal to go south to Suzhou and Hangzhou. Next, "It is estimated that your father is still on the boat, and he will arrive in a few days."

The traffic in ancient times was really poor, and the canal was dug here, and it took longer without the canal.

Zhou Er Er counted the days, "Isn't it going to be a young year when Dad is home?"

Zhulan, "Yeah, one round trip takes nearly two months."

This is still the case when the return canal is not frozen. If it is frozen, you can only take the official road slowly for a longer time.

Zhulan suddenly thought of the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River like clouds, and wondered if Zhou Shuren would be dazzled, hum, anyway, they were bound, so it was useless for Zhou Shuren to be dazzled.

Zhulan felt a little emotional in her heart, she stood up and was unwilling to chat, "Boss, hurry up and clean up the table, let's all go back and rest."

Li's intuition was very accurate, and she sensed that Mother was upset, "Good mother."

As soon as Zhulan went out, Mrs. Li complained to her husband, "Which pot does not open and which pot is lifted, mother and father have not been separated for so long, and mother misses father again."

Zhulan didn't go far, almost slipped and fell, bah, who misses Zhou Shuren!

On the sailing boat, Zhou Shuren touched the bank note in his bosom. He was really lucky. Zhuo County is the canal transportation hub, the most prosperous, and there are so many merchants coming and going. Naturally, there are many frauds, especially in the counterfeiting industry. He is resting in the bodyguard company During the period, I went out and turned around twice and happened to run into a seller of fake antiques.

He was not foolish enough to directly go up and say it was a fake, but instead pretended to be a friend of the buyer and took the buyer away, avoiding being cheated and helping his eyes. The merchant thanked him and got two hundred silver coins.

Zhou Shuren lamented that the merchants were rich and powerful, and also praised their shrewdness.

Giving him so much money is not a good fortune. After the establishment of the new dynasty, the status of merchants has become more and more low, and it is easy not to offend scholars. He also took advantage of scholars.

Li Shuan pushed the door open and came in, "Dear family, I'll ask. The journey is going smoothly, and we'll be there in two days."

Zhou Shuren couldn't complain about the traffic anymore, well, he has had enough fish, "It's almost here."

Li Shuan nodded, "I'm going to be an idiot on board."

Zhou Shuren saw that his in-laws took out the purse from their chest to look at it, and then put it back carefully, because they were afraid that it would be stolen when they went out, and there were many people on board.

Li Shuan touched his purse and was satisfied. With this money, even if he didn't sell the prescription in Jiangnan, he could give his mother an explanation when he returned home.

Zhou Shuren laughed. In Zhuojun County, he took advantage of the opportunity and sold the recipes to merchants he knew. The recipes didn’t have much technical content. Fifty taels of silver bills are enough, and the in-laws have earned a lot.

Zhou Shuren can't read the book anymore, I don't know if Zhulan misses him!

The next morning, the sky was clear, and Zhulan was finally able to relax without worrying about the snow disaster. Instead, it was a good sign of auspicious snow for a good year.

The weather was colder after snowfall, the temperature was enough to freeze the meat, and the weather was good for slaughtering pigs. After dinner, Zhulan ordered the boss to go to Butcher Li to kill the pigs.

The two pigs in Zhulan’s family are well-raised. Each pig weighs about 250 catties. In ancient times, 250 catties was considered a fat pig. Zhulan stood at the door of the pigsty, thinking about blood sausage and steamed pigs. Blood, stir-fried fat intestines, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, cold pig ears, sauced bones, I couldn't help swallowing.
