"Lao Zhang has always had a very high self-esteem. ”

"If he really can't help it, how can he come to you at this time. ”

"I've heard from a few bookkeepers who are relatively close to me that Lao Zhang has only been looking for the chief steward in the past few days, and that there is a problem with the employment of people in the mill. ”

"Manho, you are a good boy, you are still young, if the mill can no longer sustain itself, just report it to the steward. ”

"He has a lot of shrewd people who don't have a business, and even if it fails, it won't be on your head. ”

"Sir, I'm not good at saying it again, you are just the last struggle of Steward Zhang's unwillingness. ”

"When the mill falls, sir, I will find you a solid job in the yard, and you will come to me to learn calligraphy while you earn your wages. ”

"It's better to be a down-to-earth person, but you can't leave aside the most important knowledge just because you get a seemingly good job. ”

Hearing that Steward Li was really worried about him, Shao Manchu's heart was warm.

The pen under his hand moved again, and the answer was even more simple: "Well, sir, I am provincial! Otherwise, what would I be doing today and talking about farming." ”

"If Steward Zhang had finalized this job from the beginning, I wouldn't have had a reason to open this mouth. ”

"Now that he's burning his eyebrows, doesn't he have to help me solve the problem of farming?"

Speaking of this, Shao Manchu was happy to have two big white teeth, he put down the pen in his hand, picked up the new words, and waited for the time of Steward Li's explanation and continued: "Even if I dry up the mill, this year's spring ploughing, I don't need to be busy myself." ”

Not only can you focus your limited energy on more important work, but you can also relax your body that is still growing, and you will not be affected by too heavy physical labor.

Seeing that his young students really knew what to expect, Li was in charge of affairs and didn't say much, but seriously taught the remaining words to Shao Manchu one by one.

After agreeing to the rest of the teaching time, the young man who was going to work in the mill tomorrow was released.

According to the average young person, if he gets such attention and gets such a decent job, I am afraid that he will not be able to sleep well all night, and he will be excited to patronize it again and again.

But when it came to Shao Manchu, there was no overreaction.

As usual, he ate quietly, bathed quietly, carefully reviewed the new words he learned today, and then quietly fell into a more solid sleep than before.

Even in the morning of the second day, I only got up half a quarter earlier than usual, took out the rare clothes at home with few patches, and carefully put them on my body one by one.

Shao Manho, who cleaned up neatly, took a look at the water surface in the big vat outside the courtyard.

A tall, thin figure was reflected in the clear water.

His face was not clear because of the water wrinkled by the breeze, but the clothes on his body were so clear and translucent.

It's a rare dark green color, and although it's still stain-resistant black, you can see the bright flavor in it.

Except for the cuffs, neckline, and trouser cuffs, which are surrounded by a patch-like coarse cloth of the same color, there is no shabby place in this two-piece jacket and trousers, which are easy to move and walk.

Let the clothes look eighty percent new, if it weren't for its thin blowing in the still somewhat cool spring breeze, just looking at the appearance, outsiders would still think that this is a family with a really rich life.

After this gust of wind blowing, Shao Manchu took back the eyes that looked up and down, and quickly put the old cotton jacket on his arm outside.

He stamped his feet and stared at the rotten shoes hanging on the edge of the window for a long time, and then resisted the desire to change them back on, and walked towards the courtyard.

"Bell Boom ......"

The courtyard door was locked from the outside, and when the sound of the chain hitting was still echoing on the path, Shao Manchu, who had left the house, was no longer visible.

The distance from their house to the mill mentioned by Steward Zhang was not far, bypassing the edge of the village, and walking straight to the northwest half a distance to the Chujia Courtyard.

Not only was the mill about the same distance from the two, but it was also adjacent to two other villages the size of the hill.

As the so-called transportation extends in all directions, it doesn't look like a place where you can't do business.

Could it be that the facilities are outdated and can't keep up with the requirements of the villagers?

However, the servants in the courtyard of the original family ate the grain milled in this mill, and since they could supply the old man, it was not the reason for this.

Shao Manchu, who kept spinning in his mind and thought about a lot of possibilities, didn't think of the twists and turns in it, but his eyes were dark, and the sunlight that had just come out was obscured by a shadow.

Looking up in a daze, I don't know when there was such a big house in the village road, and then when I looked closely at the plaque 'Chu Hesheng' hanging on the gate beam, Shao Manchu realized that the mill he was looking for had arrived.

But at this time, he was not in a hurry to enter.

Shao Manchu first walked around the mill, and after having a certain understanding of the scale of the big mill, he knocked on the back door.

"Oooooo......oo

This is something that Steward Zhang had told him before going to work.

Due to the poor management of this mill, except for the first family who come here on the fifteenth day of the new year to grind some fine grains, it is mostly cold and unmanned on weekdays.

And because there is really no work to do, the workers are just grinding in the mill.

Therefore, in today's early prosperity, there is only one Lao Zhuo who watches the mill.

The warehouse in this mill is located at the back door, and Lao Zhuo, who often lives in the mill, naturally sleeps in this position.

"Squeak ......"

No, after Shao Manchu knocked on the backyard door a few times, the dusty backdoor was opened from the inside.

"Who......"

A weak voice floated out, revealing a pair of eyes at the back door that only opened a slit.

Shao Manchu consciously stood up straight, with a kind smile on his face: "Hello, is Uncle Zhuo guarding the door inside?"

"I'm Shao Manchu, I don't know if the manager of the outer courtyard of the first family told you?"

"From this day on, I will be working in this mill that was just beginning to flourish. ”

Hearing that Shao Manchu had finished reporting his identity, the eye inside the door retreated, and with another 'creak' sound, one of the back doors of the mill was completely opened.

At the doorway, there stood a short, thin old man.

The buckle of the neckline was not tied, and it was pulled over the sides to reveal the swarthy neck.
