Chapter 78

Yu Qingze shook his head, called grandpa Chang and Changle to the table and sat down. Then he solemnly discussed with them: "Grandpa, brother Le, I'm new here. Fortunately, brother Le saved me and thank you for taking care of me. I'm very grateful. You know, I have no relatives here and have no place to go for the time being. Therefore, I want to discuss with you. No, it's a request. I want to ask you something. "

Ye and sun looked at each other and both saw seriousness in Yu Qingze's eyes.

Grandpa Chang said, "you say."

Yu Qingze said to them seriously, "I want to live at home for a while. I will pay the rent monthly. When I have enough money and find a suitable place, I will move out."

I didn't think Yu Qingze was talking about it.

Grandpa Chang waved his hand and said, "if you live, it's just a bed. What rent is not rent, no need."

Chang Le nodded.

Yu Qingze naturally refused to live in vain. He said helplessly, "Grandpa, brother Le, if you are like this, I dare not live at home."

Grandpa Chang stared, "what dare you? Didn't you teach Xiaole and Xiaohao to write? Didn't you say you wanted to teach Xiao Hao Kung Fu? It's like a bundle repair. Speaking of it, we took advantage. "

Yu Qingze laughed, "if you say so, brother Le saved my life, Grandpa."

"That's not the same thing. You can't mix it up."

Yu Qingze insisted, and grandpa Chang took a tougher attitude.

The two sides exchanged several rounds without success.

Chang Le watched the two of them struggle, pursing their lips and laughing.

Seeing the old man, Yu Qingze could only say, "Grandpa, I'm serious. I can't live for nothing. I hope you can understand."

Grandpa Chang looked at him for a while, then sighed and said, "it's all right. Give it if you like."

Yu Qingze smiled and said, "I don't know the rent here. You see, is one or two silver a month enough?"

Both the master and the grandson were surprised by his great skill.

Grandpa Chang said dryly, "we don't have the conditions of an inn."

Yu Qingze said, "I've included the food."

Grandpa Chang waved, "those things in the place are not worth a few money. Everyone grows them and sells them on the street. They can't be sold."

When Yu Qingze didn't hear it, he decided, "that's settled. It's one or two silver a month. I'll pay it for three months first. "

Yu Qingze took out his cloth bag. He didn't know how much three Liang silver coins were. He simply took three Guan copper coins and handed them to Grandpa Chang, "Grandpa, here you are."

Grandpa Chang reluctantly took it and handed it to Changle.

Yu Qingze saw that Changle was in charge of money at home. So he said to Chang Le, "brother Le, can you keep the silver for me? I have no place to put it. After the double robbery is over in a few days, I'll get it back. Then I want to do some small business in the city. "

Changle is a little embarrassed. If you lose so much silver

Chang Le looked at Grandpa Chang. Grandpa Chang nodded and said, "keep it for him."

Chang Le took the cloth bag and entered the room carefully.

Grandpa Chang looked at Yu Qingze and asked, "do you want to do business in the city?"

Yu Qingze nodded, "I want to get some snacks to sell. You have to find a living. "

Grandpa often frowned. "Is your registered residence certificate not lost? It's needed to do business in the city. "

Yu Qingze said, "I've forgotten it. Grandpa, if you want to bring your registered residence here, how do you need it? "

Grandpa Chang frowned and thought for a moment and said, "it seems that there is a special department in the Yamen to take care of this area. You can ask the village head. He should know. "

"OK, let me ask."

"Do you want to naturalize with us? Niutou village? "

"Yes, it's good here. If I can, I want to come here."

"Have an eye! At that time, more than a dozen households in our village also saw that it was very good, so they settled here. In a flash, more than ten years have passed. " Grandpa Chang couldn't help feeling when he thought of the past.

Yu Qingze asked curiously, "I heard you moved here during the war?"

Grandpa Chang nodded and took a puff of dry smoke. His eyes were a little distant. "We were originally in Qingzhou on the North Bank of Qinghe River. The war was very seriously damaged there. Everyone couldn't get through it. I heard that the war in the South was not so serious, so we tried to cross the river together and came here."

The great prosperous Dynasty was founded after the war of the previous dynasty. Yu Qingze had heard of it just 15 years after the founding of the people's Republic of China.

"Yes, the people suffer the most from the war." Yu Qingze didn't experience it. He can only sigh.

Grandpa Chang spit out a rim of his eye, sighed and said painfully, "Xiaole's injury was made at that time, alas..."

Yu Qingze wanted to ask what was going on, but when he saw Changle coming out, he stopped in time, went back to his room, took out his clothes for washing, and said to Changle, "brother Le, please bring me some water."

Chang Le nodded with a smile.

The next morning, Yu Qingze saw the beans picked from a dung dustpan by Changle and asked him at breakfast.

Changle said with some worry that there are too many plants in the field. Recently, he has no time to sell them, so he will pick them back and dry them, otherwise they will all be old.

Yu Qingze asked them how to eat most beans here. He learned that they usually cook them, and then they can't finish eating and sell them, so he dried them into dry beans.

The beans in the dung pan were very fresh and tender. Yu Qingze thought about it and asked, "brother Le, is there an empty jar at home? The one with edges. "

Chang Le nodded, looked at him curiously and asked him what he wanted to do.

Yu Qingze said, "pickled beans."

"Sour beans?" Chang Hao asked curiously, "is it delicious?"

Yu Qingze nodded and said, "it's very appetizing. It's very suitable for summer and winter."

"Is it better than dried beans?" Dry beans are often eaten in winter. Chang Hao has a little dislike.

Yu Qingze said with a smile, "it's different. I'll pickle some. You can try it. If it's delicious, we can pickle a jar and eat it in winter."

Hearing that it was delicious, Chang Hao was happy and raised his hands in favor: "pickle!"

Brother Yu said it was delicious. It must be super delicious! He now has a blind worship of Yu Qingze, especially in food.

So after breakfast, Changle's three sons and grandchildren went to plant fields, and Yu Qingze made sour beans at home.

Wash the jar and let it dry naturally. Then select the fresh and tender beans, remove the head and tail, wash and dry the water, and boil a small pot of boiling water to cool.

After all the preparations are completed, directly pour a small half of the jar of cold boiled water into the jar, put the beans into the jar, submerge them all into the water, and add a little more salt.

Yu Qingze thought and put some green peppers in. In fact, if there are radishes, sour radishes are also delicious, but it's summer. Le Ge'er, they don't plant summer radishes. Instead, they can pick some balsam pear and soak it.

Finally, close the lid, pour water on the edge of the jar to prevent entering the air, and put it in a cool place. You can eat it in two or three days.

Now that he had made sour beans, Yu Qingze made those cucumbers into a simple version of pickled cucumbers.

At noon, Grandpa Chang said he cooked the fish sent by the village head yesterday. Yu Qingze thought of the first meal here. The taste of the fish

"Let them enjoy the delicious taste of real fish." Yu Qingze said to himself.

There is no ginger at home. The only thing that can get rid of fishiness is rice wine. Putting some vinegar can also get rid of fishiness, but it's not enough. Yu Qingze was worried. He suddenly remembered that he had seen a small piece of Perilla on the roadside in the village. His eyes brightened and he planned to go out and pick some back instead of ginger.

I was picking it and met the village head.

"Azer, what are you doing with this?" The village head is curious. Perilla smells strange. People in the village regard it as wild grass. Cattle don't like it very much, but doctors sometimes take it as medicine.

Yu Qingze replied, "there's no ginger at home. I'll pick it back as an ingredient. Village head, have you come to me? "

"Yes. We agreed yesterday and we'll do as you say. " The village head and Dajian Dayong discussed until the early morning and finally made a decision.

One more thing happened. When the village head Fu Lang found that there was a sudden loss of thirty liang of silver in his family, he hurried to find them, thinking that the family had been robbed. Later, I learned that they bought a board with money and made a fuss for a while. The village head and the three men spent a lot of words and finally persuaded him. It's also a toss.

Yu Qingze said happily, "I knew you would promise."

The village head smiled and then asked, "however, aze, I just want to discuss with you whether the thresher and windmill can start later?"

Yu Qingze thought about it and probably knew what the village head thought. He just wanted to make a rice bed before the autumn harvest. He asked, "how many people in your family can do carpentry?"

The village head replied, "I, Dajian and Dayong are all familiar. My third son can only fight now, and my husband can do some."

Yu Qingze pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a long time, and then said, "well, that's all right. The thresher and windmill will start after the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, you will arrange someone to study and make threshers and windmills with me, and others will do other simple goods. "

Yu Qingze pursues long-term cooperation. First let the village head see the benefits, and then the cooperation will be smoother. It's OK to come to projects one by one. Anyway, no one knows what's in his mind.

Besides, he also wants to ask the village head to help him with his account.

When the village head heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "this arrangement is very good."

The two agreed to discuss the terms of the cooperation contract at the village head's house in the evening.

When I got home, I estimated the time. Yu Qingze cooked the rice, set the fire, and then began to deal with the fish.

The village head sent a silver carp, very big, more than two kilograms, nearly three kilograms.
