On the first day of opening, Shi Gui kept turning, short vegetables and less meat, she had to run, which link had to be stared at once, she had never done business, but it was not as good as Qiu Niang's green calyx two clever, green calyx Qiu Niang counted the money very quickly, at noon the green calyx collected money alone, and she could be busy.

Shi Gui ordered the money, took out the money for the dishes, and calculated how much it would cost to add a bowl and a car, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the money earned at noon was enough to buy a bowl and make a car.

Shi Gui is paid to everyone, in addition to the pine basket of 300 yuan, Wang Niangzi alone has 1 or 25 yuan of silver a month, she is a full stove, although she only makes bamboo rice at this time, but when the business is bigger, she will be more useful.

The green calyx also has a salary, she refuses, Shi Gui said that she can't move her, but Qiu Niang patted her on the arm: "You can't save some money to make clothes and buy velvet flowers? ”

When the green calyx came out, he brought out all the money he had saved privately, followed Qiu Niang and the two to set up a wonton stall, never hid private money, and relied on Shi Gui for a stitch and a thread in Suizhou, and had to think about it for a while to buy a snack on weekdays, but Qiu Niang Shi Gui was willing to take her along, and she was embarrassed to ask for wages.

Shi Gui slapped the board: "If you work hard, you will get money, I have the rules here." "Mrs. Chen originally didn't give money to the green calyx, and she had to rely on her own needlework to have a little pocket money, the green calyx was used to being exploited, Shi Gui gave her money, and she felt helpless.

Everyone has money to make, and they can't wait for business to be better, Qiu Niang and Wang Niangzi burn the stove together, the green calyx follows the box to collect money, the pine basket washes the dishes and spoons, and they are not idle, and the clothes on their bodies are wet and dry, dry and wet.

Although busy, everyone has a smile on their faces, the first day is like this, and it will only be better in the future, when Dafa comes to push the cart, Shi Gui does not ask the green calyx to follow: "The rice is counted, and Uncle Ngawang is here in the past." ”

When she went to buy vegetables, she also made a pot of wine and explained to Dafa: "This is for Uncle Awang, don't get drunk." A bag of pickled radish and a bag of peanuts are all appetizers: "Wait for the next time to send pork, spare him a pair of pig tongues, and marinate the current snacks." ”

Uncle Awang is the guarantee of their business, if they can deliver it directly to the door, they don't have to go to the wharf to be exposed to the wind and sun, Dafa was a little shy, and took it over with a red face and smiled, the same is a motherless child, Wang Niangzi always looked at him a little pitiful, and gave him more dishes: "You are still growing up, and this bowl is not enough." ”

Dafa pushed the cart out, no matter how green calyx thought about it, she was collecting money at noon, Dafa people are willing to do it, but the strength is big but the heart is rough, several times almost less received, and then only one collected money and one put food.

Shi Gui laughed: "His father is here." "Give them 20 wen for 100 copies, pay for food every day, and get paid, who refuses to do such a good business, the two of them can get an extra silver or two in a month, Uncle Awang really wants to start the idea of this money box, and the original customer refuses to let him see the factory.

Shi Gui looked at the hut where Wang Niangzi's mother and daughter lived, and at that time they set up a bed for them, and the mother and daughter slept together, and they had to support another one, and everyone took turns to rest for a day before they could continue to be busy.

Shi Gui calculated the account, the first month was based on today's income, and the next month he could hire another person to help cook, and they didn't have to be so tired, but the green calyx still couldn't go to the women's school for a while.

This head is so good, Shi Gui is full of confidence, and he is full of inexhaustible strength, hire a chef, and hire a helper to deliver the goods, so that the green calyx can go to the school, and Qiu Niang can rest for two days.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, the head is opened, the back will not be bad, the dock workers eat quickly, Shi Gui only finished eating, Dafa pushed the cart back, the rice was sold out, the money box was also full, those workers worked for a day, they were already very tired, and it was better to be able to deliver food to the door than anything, not to mention that the taste was good, and the price was fair.

Two hundred copies were sold short in one go, Liu Awang collected the money, he knew all these people, and he knew which one to take the meal with a sweep of his eyes, first took it and ate it, and then went to collect the money one by one.

Shi Gui said that the money was settled in half a month, and recorded it in the account book for him, two hundred copies were forty yuan, and half a month was six dollars of silver, Dafa nodded, and he still took care of their two meals every day, and gave him work money, this silver is not easy to earn.

"I didn't prepare anything on the first day, and when we open for a month, I'll have a celebration banquet. Shi Gui was smiling, and Songluo's eyes were full of smiles, while it was not yet dark, Wang Niangzi and Songluo cleaned up, and Shi Guiqiu Niang went home.

So back and forth, the road and go far, the sky is dark, a day or two days is enough, get up early and greedy for darkness, people can't support it, Qiu Niang said: "Wait for the restaurant to save some money, let's also live in that place." ”

The house of the restaurant is rented, and the price is higher, if the house that comes to the pawn has twenty taels and can live for many years, if the owner of the house makes a pawn and cannot redeem it, it will make a lot of money.

Shi Gui laughed when he heard this: "Mother doesn't look at what kind of place this is, it's not such a gambling loser, as long as you have a pair of hands, you can't live anywhere, like Wang Niangzi, she is just sad for a while, and she also came to me and said that the monthly money is halved, which is considered to be redemption money." ”

can be a good citizen, which one is willing to be a lowly citizen, Qiu Niang nodded: "It's good to find someone to see." She refused to send someone under the fence, the more polite Ye Wenxin and Ye Wenlan were, the more unwilling Qiu Niang was to stay long.

Shi Gui took Qiu Niang with one hand and held the green calyx with the other: "I know, we will be able to stand on our own." "There is a small yard, a grape trellis, pomegranate flowers, a patio and a pergola, such a yard is also very small, there is no money at the moment, there will always be a day when there is money.

Qiu Niang listened to her talking about the small courtyard, the more she listened to the more her brows stretched, and she didn't want to mention her husband to worry about her daughter, so she asked someone to go to the Xirentang to find it, but no news came out, although she was smiling, there was still a melancholy between her eyebrows.

Shi Gui saw it but didn't say it, he said it more and more in detail, even a place to build a bamboo frame to dry clothes, a place to open a well platform, Suizhou is rainy, afraid that the well platform will enter the water, and a small pavilion has to be built on the top to block the rain, the east and west houses live in people, and the north house is for Xizi to read.

The three of them walked slowly and leisurely home, Ah Zhen waited at the door, and when she saw them coming back, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her mouth was still muttering words that she didn't understand, Shi Gui already understood a little, and knew that she was waiting on the stove, so she quickly told her that she had already eaten.

also said that there is no need to stay for food in the future, Ah Zhen nodded and shook her head, pointing to the inner courtyard, Shi Gui was so tired that he couldn't lift his legs, and in the Song family, it was also a light job, and he had never been tired from morning to night.

But knowing that Ye Wenxin was looking for her, she had to go over, she saw a candle lit in the study, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw the carved copper plate spread on the table, Ye Wenxin smiled at her as soon as she looked up, and when Shi Gui approached, the tip of her nose wrinkled, and said with a smile: "Did you fall into the broth?"

After smoking in the kitchen for a day, isn't it just a taste, Shi Gui still wanted to go back to take a bath, and before he was about to answer, he was fascinated by the copper engraving: "This is what is engraved in the printing factory?"

The copper plate is engraved finely, Ye Wenxin also tried once, brushed the ink on it, and printed a piece of white paper, Shi Gui is thinking about printing advertising leaflets, and there are indeed people on the street who send orders, needlework shops, rouge shops, Suizhou printing factories are large, and engraving has become a common thing, typesetting and writing,

Counting money by words, if you want to portray it, the price is different.

Shi Gui can't afford to carve it at this time, but he is using this brain, the more words, the bigger the copper plate, but it is too expensive to print only one sentence to open a board, and I can't help but be moved when I see this, there are words and paintings, and it is really Mrs. Ji's generous stroke.

Ye Wenxin didn't allow her to take a closer look, and took her hand: "Wenlan has inquired about your father's news." ”

Shi Gui's hand shook, Ye Wenxin squeezed her hand tightly, and said to her: "The abbot in the Xiren Hall said that he had indeed treated such a person, and he said that he had returned to his hometown to find his wife and daughter." "Since it is a sect, there are people in charge of teaching, and a large number of Westerners have come and brought their religion with them, but the life of the locals is still passable, and women can also work.

The age and appearance are all right, Shi Gui heard that the big stone hanging in her heart fell to the ground, she originally wanted to go to the Xiren Hall to ask, and she did go to the Xiren Street, searching her intestines and scraping her stomach thinking that she could always remember a few words, she remembered that she would know, and she would say it again when she met Xu.

How do you know what these people say, she can't understand a word, a few words have an impression, but they are talking with chickens and ducks, those people are laughing, but their faces are full of doubts, Shi Gui doesn't understand what they're talking about, and they don't understand what Shi Gui is saying.

Shi Gui never thought that it was Ye Wenlan who could speak Spanish, he had only been in Suizhou for a year, and he couldn't even speak Suizhou dialect, but he learned Spanish, Shi Gui told Ye Wenxin about it, Ye Wenxin smiled and said: "Let Wenlan ask for you." ”

Ye Wenlan not only can speak, but also learn to write, but also follow the Westerners to learn the turtle shell qin, Shi Guifu was stunned when he heard it, at this time the similarities between Spanish and those she knew were very few, but she didn't expect Ye Wenlan to learn, saying that there were many novel things in the Westerners' hall, and said that she would take Ye Wenxin to take a look.

Although I don't know where Daddy Shi is, but in the end he is safe and sound, Shi Gui thanked Ye Wenxin, and then she said again: "You said last time that you wanted to draw some posters, but what did you want to draw?"

Shi Gui shook his head: "It's so easy, I don't know how to write Zheng Bi, painting and eating is more attractive than Zheng Bi." Ye Wenxin laughed: "I also draw ordinary, you must not think of it, but Wenlan paints well, I will ask him to draw one for you, it should be bright and eye-catching." ”

"How do you make that? "Ye Wenlan is a person who has made a name for himself, although he can't take the imperial examination now, he can't help Shi Gui paint, Ye Wenlan has been proud since he was a child, how can he be willing.

Ye Wenxin pinched her: "You don't have to think about it, you hurry up and wash your hair and take a shower, how can you stand it if you smoke it every day, just treat it as if I have a share, and hire two more people." ”

Shi Gui smiled but didn't agree, Ye Wenxin also knew that her temperament would not be willing, so she took out the book she had compiled: "You hurry up and take a look at it for me, if it's good, it will be sent to the printing house for printing." ”
