Chapter 0492. Enthusiastic Qian Sanniang
What Lou Ning was going to make was the recipe for maltose that he had seen in the library before.
Although Xicheng is remote, commercial trade is still considered developed because it is the intersection between the Dayue Kingdom and the Hanu people and other ethnic groups outside the Great Wall.
The folk customs are fierce, the language and words are mixed, and the clothing has begun to show signs of integration, not to mention the taste of food.
There is not a lot of honey here. Lou Ning paid special attention to it when he went up the mountain in the morning. Either it would have been picked clean by others, or there would be very little honey.
As you can imagine, in this place where there is basically no sucrose or honey, sweetness is definitely a top-notch luxury product.
"I still have some wheat at home, I'll use it to try it out later." Lou Ning quickly planted the rice while thinking about the order and timing of the work, "But the Lian family is still here, and Old Man Wu is still here, so I'm afraid the next step will be to take over."
It won’t be easy to sell maltose if you come down here.”
Being able to be a man who sells his daughter for money, and even beats and scolds his wife at every turn, what kind of role Lianyuan is, Lou Ning can imagine without even meeting him──
Such a person is like a blood leech, and he will never give up easily until he sucks people dry of their flesh and bones.
If you let them know that you have made valuable things at Ma's house, I'm afraid they will either come to your door and ask for money or prescriptions.
She needs to find a stronger backstage for herself.
"If you can use the old relationship with Ma Liang, don't use it." After all, it's been such a long time. Some people are just helping to repay their old friendship. They may not be willing to help with many things, and they are not afraid of money. "But Qian San
There seems to be a way into the city from my mother's side, you can ask about it later."
The speed of boiling maltose is very fast, and the slowness is only the time of malting. The rest is to find a way to find oil to maintain the pot, and to have enough firewood.
The children of the Ma family are quite hard-working, and they basically collect enough firewood, which is piled up in the corner of the family's drying field... If there is not enough firewood in the future, just ask someone you trust to help collect firewood.
become.
"I really can't tell. This girl, Lian Chun, is usually very quiet, but she is so efficient at her work." People in the field were coming and going, but not everyone disliked Lian Chun.
Now that she saw her alone, she was taking care of the work in the field in a lively manner. This made the person who had planned to help breathe a sigh of relief and appreciate her even more.
"Otherwise, why did the Chen family buy her instead of the third sister?" Some people shook their heads, "The Ma family obviously needed someone who knew how to do things. To the Chen family, it was just the price of two more ingots of silver...
I’m willing to pay a dowry, so why do I still care about the price increase?”
"But didn't the Qian family of the Lian family twist their waist this morning? So what will they do with this year's spring plowing?" After hearing the news, everyone turned their heads curiously, "No wonder... they are like this.
Actively trying to sell Lianchun to Old Man Wu again."
They are all from the same village. If you want to hide any information, as long as there are more than two families, you basically can't hide it.
What's more, Old Man Wu has such a big mouth, he can tell him one, two, three, four even if there is a little bit of gossip. Lian Chun's conditions are not bad, but he suffers from such unreasonable parents in the stall. In a short time, the news has spread all over the place.
The whole village.
"But her marriage certificate is still there, and her relationship with the Chen family has been registered for a long time." Someone said doubtfully, "Even if the Lian family is her biological child, it is impossible to sell it to other people's homes, right?"
This is indeed what everyone is confused about.
"The Chen family doesn't want to care about Lianchun at all." The person who started the topic frowned and said rather unhappily, "If Lianchun lives well, they will definitely feel uncomfortable... Mrs. Chen is marrying He is the son of the county government official!"
"If Lian Chun had a bad life, or even died of old age here, without even visiting Xicheng in his whole life, wouldn't they feel more at ease?"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard it.
They all understood this truth, but they still found it unbelievable.
Co-writing someone else’s daughter is not a daughter, right?
"Yes, after all, I bought it with money." Someone sneered disdainfully, obviously not surprised at the development of this kind of thing. "In the eyes of the Chen family, Lianchun is a commodity that can be bought and sold at will. Naturally, they don't feel bad about it."
What's more, after Lianchun married into the Ma family, they had already run out of money and money.
Who will care about Lianchun's subsequent situation?
"Xiaochun, I'm not talking about you." On the other side, Qian Sanniang couldn't wait for Lian Chun to come over to borrow something. After finishing her work, she hurried home and directly brought a bag full of glutinous rice and rice. "What's going on in your mind?"
Of course Qian Sanniang knew about the gossip in the village, but she was the daughter of a butcher. She was criticized by her husband even before she got married. Even now that she has two children, she is still gossiped about.
She still liked the child Lian Chun very much, and naturally hoped that she could do well in the Ma family.
"Auntie, I'm not trying to spy on anything... It's okay to give this to you, but don't worry about it because you're tinkering with it." Qian Sanniang had just made an agreement with the boss, and now Er simply took Lian Chun's slender wrist and came to the kitchen and whispered.
"If there is anything missing at home, you should tell Auntie first and let Auntie think of a solution." When she saw that Lian Chun had something to say, she immediately covered his mouth with a tigerish face, "Don't rush to contradict me. Don’t give anything for free, treat it as if it’s owed.”
"When you have time later, just return the things to auntie."
Lou Ning knows very well that when borrowing money to borrow something, most of the time, everyone is mentally prepared that the thing will definitely not be returned.
Isn't this what Qian Sanniang meant? Her expression didn't seem to be fake, but she was sincere. She had no intention of asking them to get the things back after lending them.
"Third Aunt, thank you very much." Lou Ning nodded first, showing that he knew what the other party meant. Then after Qian Sanniang put down her hand, she solemnly bowed to the other party and thanked her, "I don't have many things here now, but in the future I will If you find something good and want to honor you, please don't be polite to us."
The little girl has a clear temper, her difficulties are only temporary, and she is willing to accept help without feeling humiliated. Qian Sanniang admires her very much.
She patted Lian Chun on the shoulder, then lowered her voice and said with a smile,
"Your third aunt likes to eat bacon. She knows that you are good at cooking and you know where to get the bacon...so third aunt won't be polite to you. She will make up for it with two pieces of bacon later, and we will let this matter go. Reveal it!"
This sounds like a barter, but they all know that Qian Sanniang's Gudao Rechang is basically a free gift.
But neither Lou Ning nor Qian Sanniang talked about this matter.
When he returned to Ma's house, Lou Ning simply washed the wheat neatly, placed it next to the stove, sprinkled water on it, covered it with a wet cloth, and waited for it to be sprouted.
In order to successfully make maltose in one fell swoop, she specially used the power of Shen Nong to condition the batch of wheat.
