Chapter 303 Making Ice

"Third brother, if you do this, I can't do anything about it. If you want to give it to others to plant and give it to others to eat, then I have to let you pay back the money you owe me last time. If you can't come out, you have to pay off the debt!" It's not that Cui Jingzhong can't live any longer. The money Yang took from Cui Jingping is all hers. It's Cui Wei's! Now seeing Cui Jingzhong build a house with this silver, and Yang is marrying his daughter-in-law again. At the thought of the dead Kong family, Cui Wei's heart was as disgusting as eating a fly.

Yang looked at Cui Wei in disbelief. Her lips shivered, and the rain dripped down the edge of her hat. It hit the ground and broke again. Her face showed hatred and anger. She said, "You girl, you are really so cruel... Now you have a house to live in, clothes, and food to eat. You want to Thinking of your second brother, he is always your second brother. How can you bear to see him die..." Yang Shi really can't figure it out. The girls in any family don't live like Cui Wei. The girls in every family are like that. They live with their tails in their mother's families. After getting married, they serve their parents-in-law. Daughter-in-law, why can't Cui Wei stand such a life?

"I dare not have a second brother who wants to sell his own sister like that!" As soon as Cui Wei heard Yang's words, she almost smiled. She looked at Cui Jingping and said, "Third brother, I don't want to give you anything to Cui Jingzhong again." When she said this, she didn't bother to talk to Yang and others anymore. She pulled Nie Qiuran and said, "Brother Nie, let's go."

Nie Qiuran agreed and saw that there was something wrong with her face. He looked back at the Yang family with an umbrella. The cold teenager was dressed in a navy blue robe, and half of his handsome face was exposed under the umbrella, with a smile, but it was inexplicably chilling.

Yang was still crying softly behind her, talking about her pain these days, which was all her fault. Cui Wei didn't sympathize with her at all. Originally, she was excited and wanted to see Sun Mei's joke, because Yang didn't have much thought about it. In the past, she stayed at Nie's house for a while. After a long time, Cui Wei didn't sit still and went back by herself.

I don't know if it was the reason why Cui Wei forced Cui Jingping into debt that day. In the future, it is rare to see Yang go to Cui Jingping to ask Cui Jingping for money for money.

The rain kept pattering until November, and then it gradually stopped, but just before it cleared for most of the day, the sky was full of snowflakes! This is the first snow in Xiaowan Village in decades. The whole village is a little boiling. While worrying about the harvest in the coming year, they are thinking about whether this is a sign of God's anger. I can listen to the sound of others talking about the snow wherever I go. The weather is even colder. Many people have nothing to do and hide in twos and threes.

Just after Cui Wei's birthday, the snow fell for more than ten days, and the snow on the ground was half a foot thick. Fortunately, there is still cotton bought in previous years at home. Because it was cold earlier this year, Cui Wei made a new cotton-padded coat early, and now she has changed it. Early in the morning, he shivered and unwilling to get up. The door was frozen by ice and snow, and his hand touched the door panel, as if he had touched a pimple, and the cold made people shiver. The couple got up early to clean up the snowdrift in the yard, revealing the blank yard. Near noon, Cui Shifu and his son picked up the frozen sheep's milk and waited for it.

In the past few days, there have been snowstorms, and many fruits in Cui Wei's field have been frozen. Some warm sheds must be built. Some big tree poles that have just grown short have to be bundled with rice and grass. Otherwise, I'm afraid these trees will be frozen. It took several years to take care of the land until now. Cui Wei is not willing to freeze these trees, so she is going to find someone to help her do something these days. It is still very difficult to rely on Cui Shifu and his son to do it. Taking advantage of the time when the two fathers and sons came to deliver goat's milk, Cui Wei brought it up.

Although Cui Shifu felt that he had taken the money, it was a little embarrassing to ask Cui Wei to spend another money to hire someone, but at least he knew the importance. The trees in this field had been planted for many years, and they could not be frozen at this time. Even if he and Cui Jinghuai didn't eat or drink, they would have It will be over in a few days, so that the trees in many places will be frozen. Therefore, when Cui Wei mentioned this matter, he smiled a little apologetically and said, "This is also right, but I won't collect my salary this year. Let's get through this difficulty first." I have enough money now. In the afternoon, I will go to the villagers to help!"

Cui Jinghuai also nodded. Cui Wei couldn't help laughing and said, "Dad, don't worry, I still have some money here, and I can't spend a few taels of silver to find someone to do things. My brother Nie is ready to go to Beijing at the beginning of spring. I also want to go with him and see the situation in Beijing by the way. If Brother Nie Open a shop over there.

This matter is something that Cui Wei and Nie Qiuran have discussed for a long time. Nie Qiuran seems to be gentle and talkative on the outside, but in fact, he is extremely domineering inside. He knows that he will definitely stay in the capital this time when he goes to Beijing. If he leaves Cui Wei alone in Xiaowan Village in Beijing, he will Only then did Cui Wei want to open a new shop in Shangjing. In this way, I can spend some time, earn some money, and don't have to circle around Nie Qiuran all day long.

The snow is so heavy this year. I heard that people in many places have been trying to dig some empty fields to store ice cubes. Cui Wei also made such a thought. If she wanted to open a shop, if she could have some ice, she would have more things to do in the future, so she persuaded Cui Shifu to hire people, and then Speaking of storing ice: "Dad, I see that the snow is not small this year. I heard that people in many places are thinking to dig out some ice fields. Now some large families in the town will also find someone to collect the ice and store it well. If you have time to do something, it's good to sell it and make some money." In this ancient era without refrigerators, the price of ice cubes was not low. Even many rich people with rich resources could not afford it at all. Nowadays, the weather is so cold that it is not difficult to make ice cubes. As long as it is sold to those who can store ice cubes, they can make some money.

Her brain is flexible and fast, and she immediately thought of getting an ice cellar for herself. After all, if she wants to sell milk candy, dairy products and other things in the future, if it is summer, it won't take long to break down. If there are ice cubes, not only can it make some things delicious in summer, but also easy to store Yes, maybe she can make ice cream by getting some ice cubes!

Cui Shifu stayed for a while. He was honest all his life. He only knew how to work hard to farm and support his family. At most, in his spare time, he thought of some ways to earn a few copper coins by doing short jobs with others. He didn't think that the way to make money in the world was more No wonder his daughter is not young, but he earns a lot of money. He really didn't expect such a way to make money. At this time, the weather is very cold. As long as he finds a piece of his own land, digs a big pit, takes stones around it, and cleans it up, just like making a well, filling the well with water In such weather, it can't be said that it will take three or five days to produce some ice. If it takes more time, it can make a large pool of ice! If it can really be sold, it can't be said that there are several taels of silver, but it's just a little troublesome in the early stage!

At the thought of this, Cui Shifu suddenly became a little excited. Cui Wei thought very well. If she could make some money, Cui Jinghuai could marry a daughter-in-law after saving money later! Cui Shifu immediately stood up and said happily, "This is a good way, and it is difficult for you to turn your mind quickly. You can come up with such a square. As long as you can sell two or three taels of silver, it's worth it!" The more he said, the more excited his tone was, and he couldn't even sit still at all. He wished to get up immediately to dig the ice cellar. Cui Wei also knew that he was anxious. She smiled and didn't leave him. She quickly sent away the anxious Cui Shifu and his son, and then she held a Tang woman and shivered.

A few days later, Cui Wei's orchard asked someone to tie up each fruit tree tightly with straw. As long as the tree pole and tree pole are protected, there will be some frostbite on the canopy. After being busy for many years, I finished these things, and then found someone to build a tight greenhouse for the pineapple and other low-rise plants planted a few days ago. I put thick oil paper on it up and blocked the snow and cold wind outside. This matter came to an end. At the same time, Cui Shifu and his son had begun to take action at this time. In December, the ice slowly knotted.

The villagers looked at the work of Cui Shifu and his son, and many of them turned their minds quickly and followed. For a while, there were people digging the ice field everywhere, and Cui Wei couldn't sit still now. She simply asked someone to buy another piece of the mountain behind the sheep pen, let people dig a deep cellar out, and began to put away the ice cubes in the village!

After a year, the whole village began to be lively. Now almost every family has begun to prepare the ice field, and then sell the made ice to Cui Wei's house. For a while, every family is extremely happy, and many people are grateful to Cui Wei. Now Cui Wei has almost become the object of gratitude for everyone in Xiaowan Village. Originally, she was a little jealous that she had money and got married well. Now in order to sell ice to her to make money, she also began to be obedient. Nie Qiuran had a good reputation, and now she is even better! RS
