Chapter 366 Salt

  Just like what Wen Jiuxiao said, the Zhang family did intend to come to ask for advice. Now that the road has been promised, how will the road be built? The Zhang family didn't dare to make up their own minds, if it didn't suit the magistrate's wishes, wouldn't it be a waste of effort? Since things have to be done, then do the best. What is the best, the satisfaction of the magistrate is the best.

  Losing 10,000 taels of silver, after the initial distress, Zhang Patriarch feels that this is not necessarily a bad thing. To build roads, you have to go to the county office every now and then to ask the magistrate for an idea, and report the progress to the magistrate? Wouldn't it be too much to show your face in front of the magistrate?

  Furthermore, the Zhang family gave out money to build roads, and the common people have good eyesight. In this way, the reputation of the Zhang family among the common people will be improved, and it should be able to overshadow the Song family who has produced juren and scholars?

The Yan family and the Ma family were all staring at the Zhang family and the Song family. Seeing that these two families had gone to pay New Year's greetings to the county magistrate, they felt very disdainful. Did you come from Beijing? Scared them off? They said they were descendants of aristocratic families, didn't they all guess it themselves? Who knows? Even if it is, it's still unwelcome, otherwise can you come to Shanyun County, a place where birds don't shit?

   Not only disdainful, but also very angry. The four families of Zhang Yan, Ma and Song have been entrenched in Shanyun County for a hundred years, and they have always advanced and retreated together. What does it mean that the Zhang family and the Song family left them to act alone? Anyway, discuss it with them!

  Yan's family and Ma's family didn't want to go to the county government to pay New Year's greetings at all, and they were angry with Zhang's and Song's. Didn't this make them ugly?

  Finally, the two families also took a trip to the county government holding their noses, but the head of the family did not go. One said that he was old and not feeling well, and the other said that he drank too much alcohol on New Year's Eve, so he asked his son to do it for him. And it was in the afternoon.

  Who chooses the afternoon for New Year's greetings? Doesn't this mean that Wen Jiuxiao, the magistrate of the county, is not taken seriously? Wen Jiuxiao didn't raise his eyelids, didn't see him, and let Zhuo Zhengyang dismiss him.

  The second day of junior high school is the day when a married woman returns to her natal home. Yu Zhi can’t go back to her natal home, and she has no relatives or friends in Shanyun County, so the family of three decided to go out for a day. I have already asked the local people about it. Shanyun County is close to the sea, and the little boy clamored to see the sea. Yu Zhi raised his hands in agreement. Wen Jiuxiao... His opinion is not important, just follow.

  A family of three, plus a Qingfeng driving a car, the others did not take anyone with them. Give everyone a holiday, take a good rest and have fun, and the days of Chinese New Year will be relaxed, and everyone will be busy in two days.

  It is said that it is close to the sea, but the carriage also left for almost an hour, mainly because the road conditions in Shanyun County are too bad. Yu Zhi reckoned that if the road was repaired and the carriage started running, at least half of the time would be saved.

  The little boy was very excited to see the sea, "Mother, look, the sea! The sea!"

  Yu Zhi covered his face, "Baby, mother knows that it is the sea, can we not act like we are ignorant? When you were young, mother also took you to see the sea."

   "Really? Why don't I remember? I just remember my mother took me to see the tall pagodas and the temples in the mountains." The little boy looked at Yu Zhi in surprise.

   "Mother can still lie to you? At that time, you were more than one year old, almost two years old. Mother took you to the east to see the sea. The big conch in your toy box was brought back at that time."

  When Yu Zhi mentioned the conch, the little boy believed it, "That means I was too young at the time, and my memory was not as good as it is now. Mom, did you often take me out when I was young?"

"Of course." Speaking of this, Yu Zhi felt complacent, "It's my first time being a mother, how can I raise a child? Don't they always say 'read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles'? You are too young to read. It's okay to travel thousands of miles, isn't it enough for mother to take you? In order to make you more knowledgeable, mother takes time out every year to take you out to see the scenery and gain knowledge. There are many places where mother takes you. Later... "She glanced at Wen Jiuxiao, "If it wasn't for returning to the capital, mother was going to take you to see the prairie outside the pass that year."

  Sorry!

  The little boy threw himself into Yu Zhi's arms with emotion, "Mother is so kind! You are the best mother in the world! You are the happiest child!"

   "Zhou Zhou is also the best son in the world!" Yu Zhi hugged the little boy back.

  Wen Jiuxiao looked at the mother and son hugging each other crookedly, and was very suspicious. Was Yu Xiaozhi doing it for her son? She wants to go out for sightseeing by herself, right?

   Men and women have different seats at the age of seven, and Zhou Zhou is six years old. He always looks for opportunities to sleep with his mother, and he cuddles and cuddles with his mother every day. He doesn't look like a boy at all, which makes Wen Jiuxiao very uncomfortable.

   Subconsciously wanting to reprimand, and thinking of Yu Xiaozhi's look at him just now, Wen Jiuxiao felt that he should shut up, lest this woman bring up the old score again later.

   "Mom, will there be fish in the sea?"

   "Yes, there are many different types of fish, as well as shrimps, crabs, corals... In short, there are many, many things in the sea." Yu Zhi explained patiently.

   "Mother, look, there are birds." The little boy suddenly pointed to the distance.

  Yu Zhi looked over, "Yes, that's a seagull, a kind of sea bird."

   "There is no boat, mother, if only I could bring my dragon boat here." Looking at the clear sea water, the little boy felt itchy in his heart, and wanted to go to the sea very much.

Yu Zhi smiled, "Even if you bring the dragon boat, it's useless. Your dragon boat is too small, so it's fine to paddle in the river. This is the sea, and it's fine when the wind is calm. If the wind is strong and a wave hits, Even people and dragon boats were overturned."

   "Oh." The little boy was disappointed for a moment, but soon cheered up, "Mother, you can build a big dragon boat, a big dragon boat that can sail in the sea." The little boy stretched his arms and gestured.

  Uh, the dragon boat I built for you last time is already the limit, "Sea Dragon Boat"? Wei Niang hasn't activated this skill yet. Not wanting to disappoint the brat, Yu Zhi said: "The brat should study hard to learn skills, and in the future he will build a big dragon boat that can sail in the sea. Think about it, how majestic it is."

  Thinking about that scene, the little brat said loudly, with sparkling eyes, "Okay!" He also wanted to design a big flag of his own and put it on the bow, which would be even more majestic.

   "Mother, mother, the seawater is salty and a bit bitter, it's really unpalatable." The curious little boy couldn't help but tasted the seawater, and immediately spit it out.

salty? ! Because there is salt in the sea!

Yu Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted at Wen Jiuxiao: "Third Master, Third Master, let's dry the salt!" What about not eating salt? As long as there is salt in the hand, the silver will not roll in?

   "Salt? Sun-dried salt?" Wen Jiuxiao was confused, isn't the salt boiled?

   "Yes, drying salt!" She doesn't know how to make cement or burn bricks, but she knows how to dry salt.
