The first invention that came to this world collapsed in the middle. Zhang Wenyuan was very depressed. He threw down the diamond and lay down on the cave to think about the crystal seeds. In addition to crystal seeds, the syrup must also be bleached, which again requires the use of sulfur. Zhang Wenyuan was miserable again. This was a thousand years ago, where was the sulfur?
Zhang Wenyuan thought hard and finally gave up. Alas, sugar bricks are just sugar bricks, at least they are much better than sugar cane juice.
Seeing him lie down for a while and then come out, Zhang's mother couldn't help but ask, "Sanlang, why don't you go and rest? What are you doing here again?"
Zhang Wenyuan said, "Where's the big brother? Come over anytime. I have something to do with him!"
Mother Zhang's face changed, "You asked him what he was doing, and you weren't thinking about fighting with him again, were you? In the past, when you were working in the county, he could be bullied by you with peace of mind. Now that you don't have any errands, he probably won't let you. I’m catching you!”
"Oh, my mother, what nonsense are you talking about? Who wants to fight with him?" Zhang Wenyuan picked up a drawing and waved it in front of her, "Didn't I help you improve the spinning wheel this morning? I have already drawn the drawing. When he comes, I will let him do it and teach him this craft. This is a big deal, and I will compensate him by giving him this business."
Zhang's mother couldn't understand the drawings. When she heard that he really had a way to improve the spinning wheel and was interested in improving the relationship with Dalang, she felt warm in her heart. "Hey... Okay, okay, my son has finally grown up! I'm so excited Just ask someone to bring him a message and let him come here when he is free! Let the second brother come too, you brothers haven't had dinner together for a long time, you have been wronged and they should come and see you!"
"Don't he live in the city?" Zhang Wenyuan blurted out, "I also want him to help me make some molds."
Zhang's mother looked at him strangely, and then said after a while, "They are all making a living in their hometown. What's wrong with you? Why can't you even remember this?"
Zhang Wenyuan was busy making excuses to cover up his embarrassment, "I heard some time ago that he was building furniture for people in the city. When did he return to his hometown again?"
Zhang's mother said, "Ahem... you are talking about Huang Taigong's house, right? That was more than half a year ago. His daughters are all pregnant, and he has already moved to the third house. What are you doing?" Don’t you know?”
Carpenters in this era are not like carpenters a thousand years later who work in factories or stores. They all provide door-to-door service. The employer will dry the wood in advance or change it into aniseed. After the carpenter comes to the door, he will perform secondary processing as needed. , so they usually don’t stay at their employer’s house for long before they have to go to the next one. Zhang Wenyuan managed to get through by talking nonsense.
"Eh..." Zhang Wenyuan pretended to sigh deeply, "Then let's wait a few days before talking, there's no rush anyway!"
The invention of white sugar failed, and he had to settle for selling sugar bricks. But the sugar bricks didn't sell well, so he thought about the wedding candies of later generations. If he made several molds, he could engrave "smooth sailing", "double happiness", "three Yangs to bring prosperity", "four seasons of wealth" and "five blessings" on them. Blessings such as "Linmen" and "Liu Liu Dashun", and then make the syrup like soap, so that it will look better.
Now that the eldest brother has gone away, we can only let it go for a while. It will not be too late to upgrade the product when they come back.
Mother Zhang saw everything and said with a smile, "San'er, don't worry, there are several carpentry shops in the west of the city. I will go and beg them to help you do it tomorrow!"
"Forget it, I'll go there by myself tomorrow!" Zhang Wenyuan remembered what Liu Han had asked him to do in prison, "I happen to have something to go over there!"
Mother Zhang glanced at him thoughtfully, "Be careful and don't offend Song Yasi again. He is very powerful and we can't afford to offend him!"
Zhang Wenyuan knew what she was thinking and said with an awkward smile, "Oh, mother, you misunderstood. I didn't go to see Yan Poxi. She and I have broken off and will never communicate with each other again. I went to Xicheng for other reasons." matter."
"Really?" Mother Zhang didn't believe what he said, and said with a faint smile, "Are you really willing to give up?"
Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly swore, "What's the point of being reluctant? I was confused before, but I'm not confused anymore! That woman is just a broom star, it's better to stay away!"
Zhang's mother saw that he didn't look like he was telling lies, so she tentatively believed him.
After finishing the candy business, it was getting late, so Zhang’s mother went to prepare dinner. Because Zhang Wenyuan had just come out of prison and had been tortured, she wanted to kill a chicken to reward him, but he stopped him. "You still expect chickens to lay eggs, so why kill them?"
Remembering that he used to always miss his hen that was still laying eggs, but now he actually cared about her, Mother Zhang's eyes suddenly became moist, "It doesn't matter, I have three at home, I'll eat one this year and have a baby next year." That’s it!”
My mother insisted on treating herself, but Zhang Wenyuan didn’t insist anymore, “Then let’s have one!”
Seeing that he just meant it, Mother Zhang's tears immediately dried up and she said angrily, "Huh, you brat, I thought you really changed your gender!"
Zhang Wenyuan smiled helplessly. He had indeed changed his gender, but his dietary requirements had become even worse than those of his original owner. For example, when Dalian brought such a big bowl of meat at noon, he couldn't even taste the soup. Didn't give the old mother a sip!
When Zhang's mother was plucking the chickens, the courtyard door creaked, and Li Dalian walked in with her face covered, and then went to the inner courtyard without saying a word.
Zhang Wenyuan was drawing a sketch of the mold in the room. When he saw her suddenly barging in, with tears still on his face, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Who messed with you? Did the shopkeeper not agree to me being the accountant?" Eh... forget it, if you don't want to go, then don't go, he doesn't want me to go even if he doesn't want it!"
Li Dalian cried for a while before saying, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...I...I was serving meat to you at noon. Someone found me and went to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper scolded me and refused to let me go." Got it!"
"Ah... I'm fired!" When he heard that Li Dalian was fired, Zhang Wenyuan was not angry but wanted to laugh. This silly old woman can't understand the situation. She used to work in the county and was protected by the county captain. She was rich and powerful and no one dared to mess with her. She was sending things to her house overtly and covertly, and Shopkeeper Li could naturally turn a blind eye to his influence. Now that she was fired, she still didn't know how to restrain herself. Shopkeeper Li was kind enough not to let her lose money.
"Forget it, let's just go if you don't want to go!" Seeing her crying non-stop, Zhang Wenyuan had no choice but to say a few words of relief, "You are tired from working all day, so you might as well rest for a few days. Bar!"
He said this, but in his heart he was thinking that she would lose weight since she would no longer help in the kitchen and would no longer be able to eat good food secretly. In the morning, I heard my mother say that she was very handsome when she first married into the Zhang family, but she only started to gain weight after she went to work as a cook in Li Yuanwai's restaurant.
Zhang Wenyuan is convinced of this. According to the original owner's romantic nature, he must be a senior member of the Appearance Association. He will definitely not want the girl if she is too ugly. The fact that Li Dalian can marry her means that she must have been a beauty before.
Li Dalian didn't take his words as comfort at all. Instead, she thought he was making sarcastic remarks, "Huh, don't go? What if you don't go? In the past, it was easy to say that even though you didn't do anything, you would always bring some money back to honor your mother-in-law every month, and so did I. I can drink some soup with you, but now you have no errands and I have no income. We are all staying at home. What will our family eat?"
Zhang Wenyuan was about to say that we would make a living by selling sugar or running a textile factory in the future. Mother Zhang suddenly walked in. Seeing Dalian crying, she asked, "What's going on? Why are you crying just after you came back?" ? San'er, did you provoke her? She was still responsible for getting meat for you at noon, and you made her angry in the afternoon! Well... you child, you are really shameless! "
Zhang Wenyuan hurriedly apologized, "It's really none of my business. It's that boss Li who stopped Da Lian from working at his place. Da Lian was so angry that she cried!"
After knowing the whole story, Zhang's mother was not angry. Instead, she said with great relief, "Huh... Li Guoqiang is such a scornful person. He has lived half his life and never understood that our Sanlang is only temporarily in trouble. He will definitely be in trouble again in the future." Soaring to the sky, when he begs us, Da Lian, we won't go if he doesn't let you go. Sanlang made a kind of candy today, it's very sweet, and it will definitely sell for a good price. That thief Li Guoqiang Si Niao is not a good person, and his restaurant is not clean either. It’s a good idea not to go there. From now on, you can go sell candy, and we will live a better life!”
