Chapter 38- Zhou-ger’s Marriage and the Carbon Kiln Starts

The rough man Zhang Dazhu usually doesn’t know what shyness is. At this moment, he has a bear-like body and stands awkwardly shaking and shaking. Besides being shy, Wu Qingyuan can’t think of any other words to describe it. GhR3Za

But there was no one else except Zhou-ger who could make Zhang Dazhu have this reaction. When Zhang Dazhu said that his mother was looking for him, Wu Qingyuan suddenly has a guess what they might want. It must be Zhang’s family wanting to propose marriage.

The fact is indeed the case. Today, Aunt Zhang, besides bringing her son to Wu Qingyuan to move, still came to propose marriage. Taking advantage of this good day, she quickly settled her son’s marriage.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Her son’s marriage has always been a problem for Auntie Zhang. The two children have been delayed until now and she is not willing. Zhang Dazhu is the second son of the family and while the gers and sisters are married, he has not settled yet. 

In fact, Zhou-ger is a good candidate. He looks good and her family is not particular about gers and girls preferences. The ger can give birth to children and can work, but the problem is the previous grandmother Zhou. It was horrible, they were required to take out dozens of taels before she would agree to a marriage. CiQDPA

The Zhang family is nothing more than a peasant household. A few taels are fine. A few tens of taels are the property of the whole family. If they really took it out and married Zhang Dazhu to Zhou-ger. What will the family do in the future? She, the woman in charge, has to think about the whole family.

But who knew that her son had a streak and decided that he would never look back so he was single and anxious at the age of twenty-four.

But now it’s okay. Zhou-ger has a cousin who loves him. Unlike Mrs. Zhou, he is not so unreasonable. The two children finally came here to this point after their pain. Therefore, after visiting Wu Qingyuan last time, the Zhang family was actively preparing to propose marriage.

Zhang Dazhu had wanted to come a long time ago, but it’s not a trivial matter to raise a marriage. Aunt Zhang is not a woman who doesn’t understand etiquette. She will come home with a bit of meat and snacks. The normal procedure means that a lot of betrothal gifts have to be prepared, and matchmakers have to invite them separately which is why it was delayed till now.

It can be seen that the Zhang family still attaches great importance to Zhou-ger, and the betrothal gift they brought is very rich.

Two packs of wedding cakes, two pairs of chickens, six catties of pork and four fishes, one pair of coconuts, four bottles of wine, plus a few catties of dried fruits such as longan, and finally a bucket of rice, which is 20 catties of glutinous rice and three catties of glutinous rice.

However, it is reasonable for Zhang’s family to bring so many betrothal gifts. Today’s Zhou-ger is no longer the poor ger of the Zhou family whom nobody loved and cared for. With Wu Qingyuan’s “rich” cousin backing him up- Zhou-ger’s status rose.

So although they tried Wu Qingyuan’s tone last time, today the Zhang family is still very anxious when they came to propose marriage, and Zhang Dazhu was afraid that Wu Qingyuan will change his mind.

“Brother Wu, in addition to these dowry gifts, our family is still willing to pay a small amount of money. What do you think?”

There are no elders in the Wu family, and Wu Qingyuan is not a woman who makes a roundabout bargaining price, so the Zhang family and his wife directly laid out all the conditions they could promise, and it depends on Wu Qingyuan. SgUNbm

For their son’s marriage, the Zhang family’s husband and wife also bit the bullet. The bride price of three taels of silver is definitely the highest record of marrying a ger in Liushu Village so far. Lin Laogen used three taels of silver to scare away the Zhao family. Yes, it is conceivable how valuable the bride price of these three taels of silver is. This is really sincere enough to be no more sincere. If Wu Qingyuan doesn’t agree, there won’t be much they could do.

Zhou-ger also looked at Wu Qingyuan nervously. He didn’t ask for anything in his life, all he wanted was to live by marrying Zhang Dazhu.

“Yes, I wonder if Aunt Zhang has the almanac? If you do, let’s set the date now.”

This marriage was destined. Although the Zhang family is not particularly wealthy, it is also a good family. Wu Qingyuan naturally smiled and nodded in agreement. Zhou-ger has become a family and lives happily. He can also be regarded as having accomplished the wish of his second grandfather, Zhou Daniu. XdFKYr

Wu Qingyuan nodded, and with the marriage proposal completed, the Zhang family was overjoyed, Zhou-ger cried with joy, and the surrounding villagers also laughed, as the village has not been happy for a long time.

After a final discussion, Zhou-ger and Zhang Dazhu’s marriage was scheduled for the first month of the upcoming year, just after the Chinese New Year- with the month being mid-August, they had almost five months to prepare for marriage.

The reason why Wu Qingyuan set the date of marriage at this time was naturally also considered.

In a few days, the autumn harvest will begin in the village. When the time comes, everyone would be busy harvesting and selling food. It will take at least a month or two for it to end. The day is almost set and the Zhang family would have no time to prepare for marriage. And the New Year period is festive and leisurely, and it is most suitable for things to do. nxp0mU

And when Zhou-ger gets married, he will also prepare a dowry as a ‘parent’.

Although Wu Qingyuan has always been single and rarely touched on family matters, it doesn’t mean that he doesn’t understand. The Zhang family treats Zhou-ger well now, and Zhang Dazhu also likes Zhou-ger, but there are so many brothers and sisters in the Zhang family. There will definitely be contradictions after the child enters.

So whether he really cares about Zhou-ger, or thinks about Zhou-ger, let him have the confidence to be among the wives of the others when he arrives in the family. He must not be stingy in terms of dowry, and he must prepare well. The key to this preparation is naturally silver.

He still has a lot of gold left in the space, so he doesn’t need to worry about money, but Wu Qingyuan doesn’t want to use the gold in the space to deal with everything when he has nothing to do. This will make people mistakenly think that he really has a lot, leading to bad ideas. People who will believe the concept that a person who settles alone from a foreign land has a few thousand taels and a few hundred taels is not a good image. kcqsvU

Therefore, Zhou-ger’s marriage was set for the Chinese New Year. During the five-month idle time, he could just start the carbon kiln business as a cover, which not only gave the Zhang family time to prepare for the marriage but also gave him a buffer, except for Zhou-ger’s marriage, his own life-long plans should also be considered. Everyone feels good on this day of the first month.

……….

After things settled down, Wu Qingyuan immediately went to the town to buy two high-quality red silks and came back to give Zhou-ger a happy dress, and then began to buy wood and start working on the carbon kiln.

For example, if the villagers burned their own carbon, they would basically go up the mountain to pick up the wood, because the amount is not large, and Wu Qingyuan is not ready to do it. The wood needed is calculated in the thousands of catties, so he can’t expect the Chen family and Zhang Dazhu to be doing that so he has to buy the wood. I1TjE0

In addition to the technology required for carbon burning, the material of wood is also divided into good and bad. Good wood burns with good carbon. Among them, cyanopsis is the best. The burned carbon does not explode with sparks. The general ones are fruit trees and the like which are ordinary wood.

During this period of time when planning the carbon kiln, Wu Qingyuan also once again learned about the carbon market in Shiqiao Town. Doing business requires investigation and understanding.

After some investigation, he found that carbon here is really a very profitable business. When the house was repaired last time, the village told him that there is a kang. Under normal circumstances, if there is a kang, it will basically not be able to burn as much carbon.

But the problem is that it’s really cold here in winter, and it’s impossible for the kang to burn all day long. During the day, everyone has to get out of bed. If you don’t go out to the field, you have to make some hand-made subsidies in the house. Even if you sit on the bed to warm yourself, the whole temperature in the house is too low, and it’s hard to stand with your hands exposed for a long time. You must keep burning charcoal all day to ensure the temperature in the house to survive the winter comfortably. That’s why the carbon demand in this place is so great. zD479R

People in the carbon-burning business demand a large amount of wood, and the quality of the wood is required. It is impossible to take the workers to the mountain to pick up two dead branches and finish the job. Therefore, a group of traders specializing in the wood business have been born.

Ordinary people can’t get the best carbon-burning wood like cypress wood. The sources are all controlled by these wood vendors. The same is true for ordinary carbon-burning wood such as fruit trees. No one grows fruit trees on a large scale. All the sources of carbon-burning wood are monopolized. It doesn’t matter that you can’t buy it at all. If you buy it, it may not be good. Who can guarantee that the timber merchants will not cheat you- the Chen family was cheated.

This directly led to the villagers who wanted to burn carbon where they could only pick up the dead branches on the mountain but did not dare to cut down the trees. The famine in the Xia Kingdom twelve years ago was because the villagers around a small town cut down the trees too badly and cut down half of the hillside. It became bald, and the whole mountain collapsed and buried people. After that, drought and famine began. Everyone said it was because of offending the mountain god.

Therefore, the people of the Xia Kingdom are afraid and taboos. They don’t dare to cut too much wood. The timber merchants mostly buy the wood on the hillside and plant it by themselves or buy it from various places. dfm zS

Wu Qingyuan wanted to burn carbon and naturally had to find a specialized timber merchant to buy it, but because these people monopolized the business, he was a new face. The price for him was too high and the cost was too high. Even if he burned wood, he wouldn’t make much money.

So in the end, Wu Qingyuan only bought two thousand catties of green oak wood and one thousand catties of fruit trees. Using his power, the first half began to be burned, and the other half he used his power on to ripen quietly to reduce costs.

This is the method he thought of when planning. His wood system ability is unique, because his ability level has reached the peak because of the rebirth, and he can directly mature a seed or dead branch into a finished product in a short time. There is no problem at all. The world is safe and there is no need to fight and kill. In order not to waste nature, it can only be used to make money.

Now it’s just wood for burning carbon. In the future, there will be food, herbs, etc. All plants can be ripened. As long as he uses it properly and carefully, he can create a comfortable living environment for Amo and his children in the future. QzAInf

Thinking about the life of his wife and his children, Wu Qingyuan is full of motivation.

The author has something to say: Brother Wu’s career hasn’t made any progress lately. If you want to marry a wife, you have to have some family background. His career and love are developing at the same time. Zhou-ger is married, and Lin-ger will be far away…
