"Where is the movement?" Everyone in the room woke up.

"Outside the window." Lian Man'er pointed to the guide window.

Outside the south window is freshly brewed wine. Sanshiliyingzi can be said to be a village with a simple folk custom. Although I dare not say that I will not pick up the road and do not close the door at night, it is rare to see a small thief, especially if I can touch the Lian family with walls and gates to steal.

Lian Shouxin put on his clothes without saying a word, got off the kang, picked up the door and ran out, and Lian Man'er hurriedly followed him out.

The vegetable garden under the west wing was surrounded by a low wall. Because chickens were raised in the yard, they were afraid that the chicken would waste vegetables when they entered the vegetable garden, so they added mud to the low wall and inserted sorghum poles more than a foot high. This not only facilitates the beans and branches such as cucumbers planted by the wall to climb up, but also makes it impossible for the rooster, the highest jumping rooster, to enter the garden. Of course, it also makes it impossible for people to flip over the wall.

There is a small door under the window of the west wing, which is the only entrance to this vegetable garden.

When work was over at night, the small door was closed, but now it was open. Lian Shouxin approached the door, and he didn't know what he stepped on under his feet, making a crisp sound. Then there was a jingle sound from the vegetable garden. Then, a black shadow tried to climb over the wall and come out of the vegetable garden, but was tripped by the sorghum poles on the low wall and the vines on it.

Lian Shouxin hurried over and lifted the man up.

"Silang? Why are you?" With the faint moonlight, Lian Shouxin saw clearly that the person he was caught was Shiro from the second wife.

"Uncle Fourth, I just came out to pee." Silang struggled in Lian Shouxin's hands.

But these words can't fool Lian Shouxin.

"Where are you peeing, what garden do you enter? When you hear someone coming, you still jump over the wall and run away? I still think it's a thief."

Lian Man'er hurriedly walked into the vegetable garden with an oil lamp. After carefully checking the wine jar placed, she saw the lid of a wine jar on the edge falling to the ground. She immediately understood what was going on.

"Dad. The jar was opened." Lian Man'er came out and said to Lian Shou.

"Silang, what have you done?" Lian Shouxin asked loudly.

There was such a big noise in the yard, and the oil lamp lit up at the upper landlord's house. The west room and the east wing were silent.

"Uncle Fourth, I didn't do anything. I just take a look."

"You haven't seen enough during the day. If you really want to see it, why don't you come over to us in the morning and tell us that you want to see it. You sneak in at midnight. What do you want to do?" Lian Man'er asked.

"I'm really just looking at it." Silang said with his head down.

Even Shouxin looked at the candlelight in the room, then looked at the east wing room, which had no movement at all, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Silang, your fourth uncle, I still expect that the things in the jar can be exchanged for some money to live. We rural people hate to be trashed the most. You can hear that, next time, don't blame the fourth uncle for turning against you." Lian Shouxin let go of Silang.

When we got back to the house, everyone was a little unable to sleep.

"What do you want to do with the second uncle?" Lian Man'er was annoyed.

"Maybe it's just half a naughty and curious..." Lian Shouxin said, but he could hear that he didn't believe his words.

"It's all for his family, so he can't do too much. Let's sleep and wake up at night. During the day, I'm at home, keeping the windows open, and never letting those jars move." Zhang said.

The next morning, even the old man asked the family's laborers to go to the field to work. Although the grain was collected, some bean seedlings were still in the field, and these had to be transported back, which could be used as feed and burned as firewood.

Lian Man'er thought about what happened last night and felt that such a thing should be solved from the root. In the Lian family, there is only one person who has the prestige to solve this problem.

Lian Man'er walked to the upper room. Zhou and Lian Xiu'er went to the garden behind to pick vegetables, and there was no one in the room. There were two pieces of dry tobacco pipes on the windowsill on the kang. This was the time that the old man used to beat Lian Shouren to interrupt. Since then, he has been placed on the windowsill. Lian Man'er actually knew that the old man did not like to smoke dry tobacco, and he prefers to smoke dry tobacco pipes. But for some reason, he refused to buy another new one.

Lian Man'er climbed onto the kang, picked up two pieces of dry tobacco pipes from the windowsill and weighed them in his hand. It was quite weighty, and it seemed to be copper. Lian Man'er put the dry tobacco pipes up and came out of the upper room.

"Mom, I'll go to the town later, what do you want to buy?" Lian Man'er discussed with Zhang.

Yesterday, Lian Man'er had bought five kilograms of soybean oil, a can of salt, and some daily necessities. Lian Shouxin also brought a bag of millet and a bag of millet flour from the upper room, which was their food for this month.

"Man'er, you bought soybean oil yesterday. Our family has no meat oil yet. You go to the butcher shop to check it out. If you buy a pineapple fan, we will consume a lot of oil." Zhang thought for a while and said.

"Okay." Lian Man'er went to the kang cabinet to withdraw the money and asked Xiaoqi, "Xiaoqi, are you here to accompany your mother or to the town with your sister?"

Xiaoqi's big eyes roamed. He actually wanted to go to the town with Lian Man'er, but the task assigned to him was to accompany Zhang.

"Mom, why don't I... I'll be with you at home." Xiaoqi said to Zhang, but his big eyes were brightly shining with the light of praying.

Zhang couldn't see how it was.

"You go with your sister, don't run around, come back early." Zhang told Xiaoqi.

Xiaoqi cheered, carried the basket and came out of the house with Lian Man'er.

When he arrived in the town, Lian Man'er went to Zhaoji Tongshui Shop first.

"Sister, why are we here to do?" Xiaoqi asked.

Lian Man'er took out the two pieces of dry tobacco poles and handed them to Zhao Tongjiang, asking him if he could re-weld the two pieces of dry tobacco poles.

Zhao Tongjiang took the tobacco pole and looked at it, then nodded and said ok.

"What I often do in this job is that it doesn't look good when welded. Should I add another copper hoop? It costs a few more cents."

"Okay, this is my master's treasure. You must do it well, otherwise I will come back to find you." Lian Man'er and Zhao Tongjiang said after talking about the price.

"I know, I know." Zhao Tongjiang said, "The little girl is quite amazing."

"Leave this dry tobacco pipe to you. Let's buy some other things first and come back to pick it up later." Lian Man'er said.

"No problem, I'll do it for you now." Zhao Tongjiang agreed.

Lian Man'er came out of Zhao Ji Tongshui Shop and came to the largest grocery store in the town, picked the best sugar, and bought five kilograms of sugar. Each kilogram was fifteen cents. Then he went to another store to buy three kilograms. In this way, several grocery stores walked around and bought a total of twenty kilograms of sugar. A total of three hundred cents were spent.

White sugar is a key step in making wine. You can make wine without adding white sugar, but the wine you make is very likely to deteriorate and become sour because of its low alcohol content. Adding white sugar can increase the alcohol content of the wine and make real dry red wine. If this kind of wine is stored properly, it can be stored for two to three years. The taste of the wine is also better.

After buying the sugar, I put it in two baskets. Lian Man'er carried one and Xiao Qi carried one.

"Sister, you didn't mean you wanted to buy meat." Xiaoqi reminded Lian Man'er.

"Don't worry, I haven't forgotten." Lian Man'er smiled.

Lian Man'er walked into the butcher shop and saw a newly killed half-san pork on the meat case. The meat was beautiful in color and the thickest part was three fingers thick. Such pigs had a lot of oil and oil, and it was fragrant.

"Uncle Zhang, do you have any bad luck?" Lian Man'er asked.

"Miss Lian San, you came by a coincidence. Isn't it just a fan?" Butcher Zhang took a fan of oil from the meat case behind.

Plate oil is a thick layer of fat in the pork belly. The oil cooked is called meat oil. Soybean oil is also a very expensive thing in ordinary rural areas. People usually eat meat oil. Some people buy a piece of pine oil a year and boil it out. They put a spoonful of oil when cooking, and they can eat it for a year.

Lianjia has both meat oil and soybean oil, and he also eats a lot of meat oil.

"Is there any meat or bones?" Lian Man'er opened the oil and asked again when she saw that it was clean inside.

"Yes." Butcher Zhang said, then bent down and picked out two pig leg bones and a pig spine from a large willow basket under the meat case. "If you buy this oil, these bones will be sold to you at a cheap price."

"Sister, after boiling oil, let's use oil shuttles to make pies and eat them." Xiaoqi suggested that Lian Man'er.

Lian Man'er looked down at Xiaoqi, and nodded when he thought of Lian Zhi'er and Goro's thin body.

"It's not delicious to just use oil shuttles, so let's buy some meat." Lian Man'er said.

"The oil shuttle is enough, you don't have to buy meat anymore." Xiaoqi said very sensible and authentic.

"We won't buy more, just buy one pound." Lian Man'er said.

Lian Man'er thought in her mind that in the next year, she had already had food rations. She had the money saved by the hard-working girl. Yesterday, Li left a hang of money, and the other two pieces of silver were about two taels each, which was a total of five taels of silver. When the wine was sold and the land was bought, the days next year would be even more generous.

Zhang wants to nourish his body, even keeping trust is the main labor, and he has to eat some good food. The younger ones are also growing, so the nutrition that should be added cannot be ambiguous.

Lian Man'er asked Butcher Zhang to weigh a pound of meat.

The pineapple weighs eleven pounds, even if it is eleven pounds, it is fourteen cents per pound, which is one hundred and fifteen cents per pound, and three and a half pounds of big bones, which is ten cents per pound, which is not fifteen cents. Add one pound of stew meat, which is twenty cents per pound, which is a total of two hundred and twenty nine cents.

"Add another penny and make up three hundred pennies." Butcher Zhang cut another piece of meat and threw it into the weighing scale, which was more than one or two taels.

Lian Man'er agreed and counted three hundred cents to give it to Butcher Zhang. Butcher Zhang wrapped the bones, oil and meat with a few large leaves and put them into Lian Man'er's basket.

Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi walked back to Zhao Ji Tongshui's shop with the basket. Zhao Tongshui had repaired the dry tobacco pipe. Lian Man'er looked at it and welded the broken part of the dry tobacco pipe and added a copper hoop. The polishing was very smooth. Zhao Tongshui took another thin copper wire and put it into the cigarette mouth, leading directly to the cigarette pipe pot, indicating that there was no problem inside.

"Even the third girl, I will clear the oil stains on the tobacco pipe for you." Zhao Tongjiang said.

Lian Man'er laughed. People in this era do not have the slogans of customers like God, but the attitude of the businessmen who can survive to treat customers and their sense of service make people feel more like spring breeze.

According to the agreed price, Lian Man'er added another penny, counted a total of fifteen cents to Zhao Tongjiang, and walked back from the town with Xiaoqi. Because he bought a lot of things, the siblings and sisters walked around and stopped, and both sweated all over before returning home.

Lian Man'er put all the things he bought first, then went to the vegetable garden, opened the jar, and found that the grapes inside had begun to ferment. Now, the people who went to the ground at Lian'er had not come back yet, and those who stayed at home were afraid of heat and hid in the house. Lian Man'er evenly divided the sugar into several portions and added a portion to each jar.

In order to make the wine taste more layered, Lian Man'er plans to add sugar several times. This is the first time, and there will be a second time in the future.

After Lian Man'er finished these things, it was almost noon, and the people who went to work in the fields came back one after another.

Lian Man'er handed over the meat, bones and oil to Lian Zhi'er and asked her to deal with it. Then he went up the room to find Mr. Lian.

Lian Xiu'er was burning a fire in the outer room. When she saw Lian Man'er coming, she felt a little angry.

"What are you doing?" Lian Xiu'er asked with her eyes wide open.

"I'll take a look at my master." Lian Man'er said, then went straight into the house.

"Master." Lian Man'er shouted sweetly as he entered the door.

"Man'er is here." Old Master Lian was sitting on the kang with dry tobacco rolled up. When he saw Lian Man'er come, he responded.

"Master, see what this is." Lian Man'er handed the welded tobacco pipe to Mr. Lian.

Old Master Lian saw the cigarette pipe in Lian Man'er's hand, turned around and looked at the windowsill.

"Is this my dry tobacco pipe?" The old man put down the cigarette in his hand and took the dry tobacco pipe. Not only was the dry tobacco pipe re-welded, but the oil stains on the inside and outside were also cleaned, and the yellow and orange seemed to be new.
