When Erniu listened to Zhang Xiaobao and returned the money, the Jang Wong Clan was a little surprised. She stared at Erniu and asked, "How much did your family earn this time? Did you borrow the money from somewhere else to return it to me? "
"Madam, where did I get so much money from? It's all my … my family's money." Erniu was about to say "little master", but fortunately, he was smart enough to grasp the key moment and press the blame on himself.
The Jang Wong Clan carefully looked at Erniu again and nodded slowly, "Erniu, how much did your family earn this time? Return me 50 strings of coins, do you have any left?"
"Yes, I earned 120 taels of silver this time, so I still have 70 taels of silver left." No matter how smart Erniu was, he was not as smart as the Jang Wong Clan. He didn't understand the meaning of the madam's question, so he told the truth.
"Oh? So much money? Then what you returned was silver, but what you kept were copper coins? "
"No, it's still silver, but I forgot that my … my parents told me to exchange it for copper coins. It's not easy to spend it now." Erniu didn't know why, but he was afraid when he saw the madam, so he couldn't speak properly.
"If that's the case, then I'll exchange it for copper coins. After all, you are a member of the Zhang family, so it's good that you can earn money." The Jang Wong Clan solved Erniu's problem.
Erniu didn't know what was going on, so he returned with the 70 strings of coins in the cart. When he saw Zhang Xiaobao, he said happily, "Little master, you don't have to think of other ways. The madam actually exchanged all the silver in my hand for copper coins. This is great, I didn't expect the madam to be so easy to talk to. Little master? Little master? Don't just stand there, I brought the money back. "
As Erniu spoke, he realized that the Little Young Master was looking outside without moving. He was a little worried and waved his hand in front of Zhang Xiaobao.
"Oh, okay. Erniu, is your mother's mouth okay?" Zhang Xiaobao suddenly asked.
"It's not that good. My father said that it's because my mother was too tired when she was young. She lost quite a few of her teeth, so she doesn't like to eat hard things." Erniu couldn't keep up with Zhang Xiaobao's pace, so he answered whatever he was asked.
"Your teeth don't taste good. Meat is a waste of time, right? Come, Erniu, I'll teach you a way. When you go back, you can cook for your mother. Prepare such a big copper basin, or you can make something according to what I've drawn for you. Use copper. " Zhang Xiaobao didn't think about the money at all. He directly drew a basin on the ground. The middle was hollowed out, and a tube with a bulging belly protruded out. Below the tube was a grate. According to the explanation, it was made of iron wire.
"Make this thing. Put charcoal in the middle, and you can get rid of the charcoal residue at the bottom. Put the spices you think you can put in, and add lard. In addition, use a stove and a pot to boil the wheat flour until it's sticky. Mix twice the amount of water and put the water into the thing just now. When the water boils, you put the mutton in and cook it. As soon as the color changes, take it out and give it to your mother. She will definitely be able to bite it, and the Hundred Boiled Meat won't be old.
After a while, you go back and find someone to make it. It's best to find different people to make different parts. Keep it a secret and don't tell anyone. Make one more, yes, two more. Send it to my mother and Cuckoo's mother. Tell them the method you used, and emphasize that it's a secret. Do you understand? "Zhang Xiaobao pointed at the drawing on the ground and said to Erniu.
"I understand. Little Young Master, don't worry. I won't say anything even if you beat me to death. Little Young Master, why are you so kind to my mother?" Erniu asked blankly.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by kind to your mother? I'm asking you to be kind to your mother. Don't ask anymore. Just go back and make food for your mother as I said. Now, let's get down to business. Do you know anyone who makes porcelain? "Zhang Xiaobao continued to ask.
While Erniu was thinking, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao with her lips, "Your mother is really good to you. She knows that you can't spend money directly, so she changed it to copper coins for you. She even found an excuse that she thinks is reasonable. She doesn't want you to know. It's not easy to be a mother.
I'll tell you the truth. Don't be unhappy. I'm a little glad that your parents are gone. Otherwise, you will definitely find your parents. At that time, if your parents in your previous life were to be laid off or bullied, there will definitely be a bloody storm. I'm scared just thinking about it. Your current state is sick, do you know that? "
"You're not sick. I pray that your mother in your previous world will be killed by a car tomorrow." Zhang Xiaobao's lips moved.
Wang Juan was like a wolf that wanted to eat people. She suddenly pounced on Zhang Xiaobao and strangled his neck. She said in a low voice, "Say that again? I'll bite you to death. "
"See, you still say that I'm sick. You're not much better. Do you understand? We're the same kind of people. Don't touch my bottom line in the future. Yes, I just understood that it was my mother who supported me without reservation. I thought of Erniu's mother and wanted to use his hands to give some benefits to my mother and your family. I don't think I did anything wrong. You can say that I don't have any defense in front of this kind of family, but you can't insult me. " Zhang Xiaobao didn't struggle at all. It was impossible for a little kid like Wang Juan to strangle him to death.
"Then you're talking about my mother? Okay, I'll forgive you for the time being. Don't tell me what you don't want to do to others. Continue cooking your hot pot. " Wang Juan actually wanted Zhang Xiaobao to not be so childish. Once he faced his family, he would lose his toughness. However, she suddenly found that she was the same. She resentfully got up and stood aside.
Erniu was scared. He wanted to pull her back but didn't dare. Seeing that the two ancestors finally separated, he took a few breaths and calmed down again. Thinking of what the little young master asked just now, he replied, "Little young master, what do you want to do if you can find someone who can make porcelain?"
"Make things. Make all kinds of exquisite small jars. Don't be too big, as long as it can hold four liters of water. Four jars can hold one catty. The more beautiful the better. How's your family's chili picking?" Zhang Xiaobao calmed down and said to Erniu.
"We've picked a lot. Little young master, how much do you want? Is the money used to make porcelain jars? " Erniu finally realized that he was almost like a fool in front of this child who was less than one year old. He couldn't figure out what the little young master was thinking. If he didn't earn more than 100 taels of silver this time, he would really think that he was just fooling around with the child.
Before Zhang Xiaobao could say anything, Wang Juan gave an order. She still understood this kind of thing. "Continue to pick. It's best to let others help you pick them. You can buy them with money. The more the better. Even if you pick all the chili from the surrounding mountains, it's fine. How about this, one copper coin for three catties. Let those children who have nothing to do pick them."
"One copper coin for three catties?" Erniu asked with his eyes wide open.
"Why? Is the money too little?" Wang Juan was a little uncertain.
"It's too much. You can find them all over the mountain. Just let a child go to the mountain and he can bring back 40 to 50 catties in a day." Erniu now wanted to rush to the mountain to pick them.
"Ah? So much? Then buy more. One copper coin for five catties. You can't reduce it anymore. But you can adjust the purchasing method. You can buy every three hundred catties. This way, when fewer and fewer chili plants are picked, there will still be people picking them. If you can't gather three hundred catties, you won't be able to earn any money. "This kind of small matter could be handled by Wang Juan herself. She didn't need this big liar, Zhang Xiaobao.
Erniu still didn't know what the little young master and the little miss of the Wang Family were thinking, but he still nodded in agreement. After all, he was the kind of person who was smart. He understood that he could be ignorant of many things, but there was one thing that he must do, and that was loyalty. He would do whatever he was told.
After waiting for Erniu to accept the order and leave, Wang Juan was still a little worried. She asked Zhang Xiaobao, "Let Erniu's family do such a big thing? Why don't we split up and let Cherries do something as well? "
"How big of a thing is it? Why didn't I realize how important this matter is? It's just a small amount of money. Cherries still has other things to do. I don't expect to rely on one thing to make a fortune. I want to continuously make small things and earn a little of each. When added together, it will naturally be more. Cherries, come here. I have something to discuss. "
Zhang Xiaobao had an indifferent expression. As he spoke, he called out to Cherries, who was still vigilantly looking outside.
"Little Young Master, you're looking for me?" Cherries also knew about the money Erniu earned these few days. Seventy taels ah, ten percent was seven taels of silver. It was enough for her to work for several years without being penalized. Her family was also in Zhuangzi. Who didn't want to earn more money for their family? She quickly ran over.
"Come, I'll draw something for you. Look at it." Zhang Xiaobao picked up the wooden stick and began to draw on the ground.
"Little Young Master, what is this?" Cherries looked at the drawing and asked.
"This is called a kang."
"Kang? What's it for? "
"This thing is very useful. It's most useful in winter, and it's also useful now. Wait for Erniu to come back. Ask him for money and buy eggs. Buy eggs that are specially laid by roosters and hens. Try not to shake the eggs as much as possible. There are also chickens in my yard. See which chicken is hugging the nest. Ask someone to hold it down and put your hand in to feel the heat and cold.
When the kang is ready, put the collected eggs on the kang and cover it with something. Light the fire until the temperature is about the same as the temperature under the chicken's body. Oh, and try to collect as many eggs as possible. One end should be round and the other end should be pointed. If both ends are round, you can also collect them. If both ends are pointed, you can forget about it. "
Cherries blinked and seemed to understand. The Little Young Master wanted to make chickens by himself. He didn't need to hug the nest, but directly use the kang. If he could really make chickens, it would be crazy. Many people would go crazy.
Zhang Xiaobao didn't care how many people would go crazy. He continued to draw and said, "Cherries, look at this. Make a small board and arrange a few mirrors. Put the wax in the area surrounded by the mirrors and light it. Hold the egg and look at it. Every five or six days, look at it again and see the shadow of the bones inside. Forget it, let's not talk about this. You don't understand.
Cherries nodded and remembered everything Zhang Xiaobao said. She excitedly stood up and left. She was a little dazed. This Little Young Master was really too different from ordinary people. Everyone was confused by what he said.
"You want to hatch chickens? Look at eggs? What do you mean by round and sharp? "Wang Juan waited for Cherries to leave. Weiwei tilted her head and looked at Zhang Xiaobao.
"A real expert can directly distinguish the male and female. I don't know how to do that. Usually, the round ones are female and the sharp ones are male. There is a probability. In this era, chickens are actually not as good as cows and sheep. This requires my next plan. Teach others to eat chickens and various ways to eat them. We can raise chickens and earn a sum of money. When the money is added up, you will find that it is a huge number." Zhang Xiaobao blinked and said.
"That's not right. How can you, Zhang Xiaobao, only use this thing to earn a sum of money? Then you are not Zhang Xiaobao. Say, what other plans do you have? Your smile is not the smile of a normal person. What is the point of picking out the eggs? " Wang Juan did not believe that this international swindler did not have a backup plan. If that was the case, it could be regarded as a world miracle.
Zhang Xiaobao scratched his sparse hair with his chubby little hands and pretended to smile shyly. "You found out again. Oh God, oh Earth, why did you put a policeman beside me? Actually, it's nothing much. It's just that I'm going to use the chicken to exchange for cows and horses. After all, my family is a landlord, and I can't farm without cows and horses.
As for the eggs, I will use them to deceive people, no, to help people. First, I will use mutton soup and fish soup to cook them. Then, I will use the juice of the chili and other things to roast them. They have one effect, and that is to speed up people's blood circulation. People with cardiovascular diseases cannot eat them. When ordinary men eat them, they will find that they are a little impulsive. It is related to what you want to expose me. Not only can it be sold for money, it can be sold for a lot of money. Do you understand? "
"Hooligan." Wang Juan said.
