The next day, at the second hour of Mao, that is, at around five o'clock, Qu Liehuo, Lin Dazhuang, Xu Laosan, Lin Yongjin and Lin Yongyuan had already arrived in front of Wei's house.

None of the five people knocked on the door immediately, but after seeing smoke rising from the kitchen chimney, Lin Dazhuang knocked on the Wei family's door.

At this time, Xiao Wei was cooking in the kitchen, Ding Jian was moving bean sprouts to the ox cart in the backyard, and Wei Yun was exercising in the yard.

Therefore, Wei Yun opened the door for them and brought them into the yard.

The five people greeted Wei Yun first, and then asked Ding Jian straight to the point.

Wei Yun said: "Brother-in-law is moving Ruyi dishes from behind. We have prepared the soap early in the morning and they are all on the table in the main hall!"

Wei Yun took them into the main hall. At this time, there were five neat piles of soap on the table in the middle of the main hall, all wrapped in straw paper and tied with thin linen.

"It's all sixty yuan a bunch. Uncle Qu, Brother Da Zhuang, you guys just click a little!"

Several people said they didn't need to order them, so they each chose a bunch of them, piece by piece, and carefully put them into the bamboo basket they brought.

While they were filling soap, Wei Yun asked again: "By the way, Uncle Qu, are you planning to sell it in a dispersed manner or together?"

But the hunter smiled and replied, "Of course, they are selling in a scattered manner like the peddler. When we came just now, we agreed that each person will be responsible for a region!"

Wei Yun said again: "Well, you all said it is the best, but Uncle Qu, Brother Dazhuang, if you haven't sold it, don't be stupid and don't come back. My brother-in-law said that at Shen Shisan, he will drive a ox cart at the city gate. Then everyone will be my brother-in-law's ox cart together to come back."

At this time, Ding Jian, who loaded all the bean sprouts, heard the sound and walked in.

"All done. Once done, move the things to the ox cart in the backyard. After putting them, come over to have breakfast. After dinner, everyone took the ox cart into the city together."

Several people said that they had eaten breakfast and didn't need to eat any more. The Ding family waved their hand and said that they would eat it again after they had eaten it.

Ding Jian knew that the breakfast they said was just a bowl of half-full porridge. Today they were going to sell soap in the city, so it wouldn't work if they were hungry.

The breakfast at the Wei family is not very rich, but it is not bad either. It has sticky white porridge, boiled eggs, and two big buns filled with leeks and eggs per person.

Only Xiao Wei's is the only one who uses dumpling filling to make buns.

All five of them only drank one bowl of porridge and ate a bun. The rest chose to wrap them in straw paper and kick them into their arms.

They refused to eat boiled eggs, and they all said they were full.

In the end, Ding Jian forced a boiled egg into his hand after dinner.

After breakfast, Wei Yun saw that there was not much firewood left at home, so he changed into a thick coat, took a hatchet, carried a newly made simple recurved bow, and a quiver with less than twenty bamboo arrows.

Early in the morning, the villagers went out one after another, went up the mountain to chop wood, prepared to go down the river to catch fish, went to the lotus pond to pick lotus puppets, carried out to turn over dry land, herding cattle, and carried baskets to pick wild vegetables and fir mushrooms in the mountains.

Shortly after Wei Yun went out, Xiao Wei also carried a bamboo basket out. As the anger became hotter and hotter today, she planned to go to the field to see how rapeseed grows, and pick some fresh dishes when she came back.

Wei Yun spent more than half an hour walking in the forest before finding a rabbit nest. Wei Yun laughed immediately and searched for a long time to block all the rabbit holes nearby, leaving only one.

Then untie the outer robe made of coarse cloth and tie it into a simple sack.

Then I looked at a handful of tree branches, found a few handfuls of broken pine branches and hay, tied them up, sealed some holes with stones and soil, and started lighting them.

When I was stuffed, the fresh leaves and branches were not so easy to lit, and a large amount of thick smoke was fanned into the rabbit hole by Wei Yun.

He flashed, ran to another hole nearest, took out the stone that had been blocked in advance, and less than half a cup of tea, a gray shadow rushed out.

Wei Yun had quick eyes and quick hands, and directly grabbed the gray rabbit's ears, stuffed them into a simple sack like lightning, and then stepped on the mouth of the bag to the soles of his feet.

After a few breaths, a slightly smaller gray rabbit rushed out again and was stuffed into a bag as it was done.

There are eight rabbits in this nest, all of which fall into Wei Yun's clutches, but only two are relatively large. Wei Yun estimated that they must be about five kilograms, while the others are about three kilograms of rabbits.

There was a white rabbit in the nest of gray rabbits, but it was the smallest, about two pounds away.

Wei Yun grabbed the rabbits one by one, tied them up with vines, and then returned to the sack made by the coat.

I picked up two large bundles of dry firewood, saw a wooden stick as thick as a baby's forearm as a shoulder pole, carried the rabbit in my hand, and carried a large load of dry firewood back home.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Wei Yun shouted loudly: "Second sister, second sister!"

"What are you doing!" Little Wei walked from the aisle beside the main house to the backyard in an apron.

Wei Yun put down the firewood and lifted the sack in his hand: "Look at what did I catch?"

"What's so mysterious! I've made a good piece of clothing like this!" Xiao Wei murmured to Wei Yun, took the bag, untied it, and looked: "Ah! So many rabbits?"

Wei Yun smiled and said, "All of them are alive. My brother-in-law will come back and ask him to weave a few cages, lock up these rabbits, and keep them next to the cowshed! When we want to eat, we will grab one to eat."

Xiao Wei said suspiciously: "Can you raise a living?"

Wei Yun said: "Let's try it, it's all caught from the mountain anyway, and it's not costing any money."

"That's right!" Xiao Wei was immediately happy, then looked at Wei Yun, who was a little dirty with disgust and said, "Why are you making yourself so dirty? Why don't you go and wash it quickly?"

"good!"

"By the way, after washing, remember to take out the changed clothes and put them in the large wooden basin in the yard, and don't always hang them in the bathroom."

"I understand, my good second sister!"

Not long after, Ding Jian also came back and brought back two large jars of oil, three jars of wine, a few kilograms of meat, two pieces of tofu, and a blue cotton cloth!

Wei Yun went up to help carry things. When he saw the blue cotton cloth, he asked, "Brother-in-law, why are you buying cloth again? Isn't there any at home?"

Ding Jian said: "I've used up my family, your sister asks you to buy another one!"

"Has it been used up?" Wei Yun thought about it, could he remember it wrong?

The cyan fabric is dirty and clean. Although the color is simple, it looks good when made into clothes, regardless of gender. Therefore, you usually buy cyan or blue when buying cloth at home.

"By the way, brother-in-law, I'll catch a bunch of rabbits and put them in the backyard. You'll weave a few cages to lock them up and keep them. I'll make soap."

"After, listen to you!"

There were no ready-made materials at home. After Ding Jian finished the work, he went out with a hatchet and chopped back three bamboos.

Each one is as thick as Wei Yun's forearm, one cut into two pieces, with a total of six, tied up with vines.

Guard's backyard.

The originally simple wooden shed has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the thatch on the top has also turned into black tiles. The mud floor that was supposed to be compacted under the feet has now become a flat ground paved with blue bricks.

Ding Jian sat under the shed, holding a hatchet in his hand and a bundle of Hsinchu at his feet. He was about to split bamboo, make bamboo strips, and weave bamboo cages.

Wei Yun had already stood in front of the stove and started making soap.

Ding Jian's hatchet was in the air and suddenly turned his head and asked Wei Yun: "Brother Yun, do you think I'll make a small shed for the rabbit?"

Wei Yun looked at Ding Jian in surprise: "It's true, why can't it be? The shed is much more durable than the cage. If you catch a rabbit in the future, you can keep it in it. Brother-in-law, you're enlightened!"

Wei Yun was not surprised that he was not the idea of ​​building a shed, but that Ding Jian was no longer doing everything as he had said before, but learned to think about it by himself and how to do it more conveniently.

Wei Yun felt very happy and a little relieved.

Half an hour later, a brand new rabbit shed came out of the furnace. Seeing that Wei Yun's soap had not yet been boiled, Ding Jian simply built a five-foot-long and three-foot-wide hut on the edge of the cowshed with the remaining ingredients.

The bottom is made of bamboo pieces two fingers wide, and the bottom is hollowed out, about one foot higher than the ground. Because only part of the blue bricks are laid, the cowshed is still muddy, which is to prevent rabbits from digging holes.

Four pieces of bamboo joints three feet long and thick forearms are used as pillars. Except for one bamboo beam on the roof of the roof, all the keels are made of bamboo sheets with two fingers wide. A layer of thatch is first laid, and then a layer of thatch is mixed with wood ash and clay, and then a layer of thatch is covered with a layer of thatch. The four walls of the cage are also made of bamboo sheets with two fingers wide intervals, and the interval is also about two fingers.

There was also a layer of dry straw in the hut, and two pieces of bamboo were placed in the corner of the hut, which were cut into half.

I have to say that Ding Jian’s craftsmanship is really good, but the small shed where a rabbit lives is really beautiful.

However, Wei Yun was no longer surprised. The bamboo lounge chairs at home and the bamboo tables and stools in the kitchen were all written by Ding Jian.

Ding Jian’s explanation was that when he fled, he spent a lot of effort to learn the craftsmanship from an old bamboo craftsman in the village for his livelihood.

The saponification reaction in Wei Yun's iron pot was almost done, so Ding Jian also went to help scooped out the film.

When the two finished their work, noon was almost over, and Xiao Wei also prepared lunch, with white rice plus one meat and two vegetables. The food was simple but very warm.

The family of three had a faint smile on their faces.

After the meal, Xiao Wei went in and watered the bean sprouts again. After she came out, Wei Yun stopped her.

"Second sister, there is no need to continue the business of Ruyicai!" He went straight to the point.

Xiao Wei frowned: "Why? That's the amount of one or two silver taels a day!"

Wei Yun said: "It's not pure profit, and you have to deduct money from buying beans. It's up to 900 yuan a day, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It was fine when the family didn't have an investment in the past, but now it's a bit of a loss."

Xiao Wei still refused to give up: "What are you talking nonsense?" He was about to walk around Wei Yun and was about to leave.

Ding Jian grabbed him: "Let's talk after Brother Yun said it!"

Xiao Wei looked at Wei Yun and waited for his reason.

Wei Yun said: "Now that our family has the soap business, the profit here is much higher than that of making Ruyi dishes. Moreover, the future prospects of soap are very high, which requires you and your brother-in-law to invest a lot of energy. And hasn't my second sister always wanted to open a cooked food shop in the city?

If you still have to persist in delivering Ruyi cuisine, you have to watch it once in half an hour and sprinkle water once. Where can I still have time to open a shop and do business! Second sister, think about it carefully, is what I said right?"

Xiao Wei shifted his gaze to Ding Jian, and saw Ding Jian nodding repeatedly, with an agreement on his face. After thinking carefully, he found that it was really what Wei Yun said.

But when I think about that one tael of silver, I still feel a little unwilling to accept it, "That's one tael of silver! There's one tael of silver a day!"

Wei Yun said softly: "Second sister, you have to know that whether it is a cooked food shop or a soap business at home, it can bring more than one or two profits. Don't you believe me or your cooking skills?"

"How is that possible!" Xiao Wei's voice suddenly rose, and then he seemed to have no strength and said dejectedly: "Okay, I'll just listen to you!" He was still a little unwilling to accept it.

Wei Yun said to Ding Jian again: "Brother-in-law, when you go to Zuixianju to deliver bean sprouts tomorrow morning, I will tell Manager Li about this, and by the way we can cultivate bean sprouts in our family."

Without giving the two questions or refutations, Wei Yun then said: "It has been more than five months since the beginning of the year and we have made hundreds of taels of silver from Manager Li. We should not be greedy in life. We should learn to stop when doing business. We cannot get rid of all the wool at once, and we cannot take other people's kindness to us for granted.

And maybe our family and Zuixianju will have any business dealings in the future. This relationship needs to be maintained! Maybe it can be used!"

Wei Yun's words completely broke up the couple's last doubts and incomprehension in their hearts.

Ding Jian nodded and said, "Brother Yun said that I will talk about this matter tomorrow." He turned his head and said to Xiao Wei, "I have been busy every day and have not stopped. I don't have to give you Ruyi dishes tomorrow. My wife is just at home to take a good rest!"

Xiao Wei looked at Ding Jian and said, "I also said that my husband is the same. He has to drive to the mansion so early every day to deliver bean sprouts. He also has to take care of the world at home. There are so many things outside, and he is much tired than me!"

"Okay, OK!" Wei Yun interrupted quickly. He didn't want to hear the two of them express their feelings, and then hugged each other and cried bitterly, showing off his food. "Second sister, brother-in-law, you can pause for a moment, and wait until I leave, you and your wife will contact each other well!"

After saying that, he turned around and took out a fishing rod from the warehouse, carried a bamboo basket and walked out: "I'm going to fish. You can slowly cultivate your relationship at home. Also, it's better to have two little nephews for me as soon as possible."

When the words were finished, Wei Yun's men had lost their traces.
Chapter completed!
