***

The North Canal starts in the northwest of Fucheng, where there is the largest wharf in the north. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then go southeast through the city, out of the city is to the south to the capital. It is the largest and only waterway in the north, and its importance and significance are self-evident.

Sitting on the painting boat, Li Xia told Xia Zhi and the little black fish about the origin of the North Canal. The reason why this canal was built was that both Li Tian and his family paid great manpower and material resources. Among them, the Tian family has the most financial resources. At that time, the ancestors of the Tian family were very visionary and courageous, and they almost broke their homes for this canal, but in the end, they also achieved the foundation of the Tian family.

At least seventy percent of the large and small boats running on this canal today belong to the Tian family. The Tian family is the undisputed overlord on the North Canal, and naturally there is a lot of money.

Li Xia tried his best to state the contribution of the Tian family on the North Canal, but he understated his own words. But Xia Zhi knew that the Tian family's seventy percent was only afraid that the Li family was indispensable. The Li family has been scholarly for generations, and the money still has to be earned, but it is not easy to boast on the surface.

Take a boat tour of the North Canal and enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river. The little black fish had a good time this time, and when he got off the painting boat, his mouth was still smiling, and the little depression of homesickness had long been thrown out of the clouds.

Of course, his friendship with Li Xia is becoming more and more iron. Li Xia occupies the position of his best friend, but I am afraid that no one will be able to replace him in the future.

When Li Xia sent Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer back to Xishi Street, it was already evening. Li Xia didn't enter the courtyard either, and when he saw that Changsheng picked up Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish, he took the car and left.

took Xia Zhi and Xiao Heiyuer to the backyard, and Changsheng told Xia Zhi that he had done everything for her. Glutinous rice and firewood will be delivered in batches. In addition, the tooth man has already brought someone to try the work.

"People have already come?" Xia Zhi was surprised and delighted.

"Just arrived. Changsheng said. This time, the tooth man found someone for the summer solstice more smoothly. Because those female workers have done a day's work on the summer solstice, they have spread the benefits of the workshop.

At this time, it is not easy to find such a job.

Xia Zhi knew that the trial worker was coming, so he didn't go to see Aunt Xia but came back first. She also said to Changsheng: "Brother Changsheng, why didn't you let people go to me." ”

"Do you have a hard time hanging out with your uncle? Besides, I guess you should have come back, so I didn't look for you. Changsheng said with a smile.

Xia Solstice thinks the same is true. Then I thought, Changsheng's temper is really good. In the future, if anyone marries Changsheng, as long as it doesn't matter too much, he will definitely be very happy.

This time, the tooth man brought more than twenty girls and daughters-in-law over. Because Xia Zhi has already selected a female worker, this time the tooth man screened it for her first, and he didn't bring those who were unqualified in age and looked obviously unclean or unhealthy.

Of more than 20 people, Xia Solstice finally selected 15 of them, saying that they would go to work tomorrow. Although she has extra masks, aprons and other items, it is not enough to have so many female workers. Xia Zhi picked a few female workers, and each of them gave some white cloths and asked them to go back and work overnight to make things.

As for wages, Xia Zhi didn't pay them this time. She deliberately measured out the amount of fabric for the female workers. The fabrics left over from the hats, masks, and aprons were paid by the women.

Female workers are happy to accept such remuneration,

In this era, silk and satin cloth and salt were hard currencies, which could be used as currency, and were even more popular than currency.

After arranging all this, Xia Zhi returned to Aunt Xia's courtyard, and Aunt Xia immediately ordered the meal to be served. At the dinner table, Uncle Guo and Pearl also knew about Li Xia taking Xia Zhi and Little Black Fish out to play.

Uncle Guo said to Changsheng: "If there is such a thing in the future, you can tell me." It doesn't matter what errand I arrange for you, it doesn't matter. You go with Sixteen and your uncle. As soon as you are next to you, your mother and I can also be annoyed. Second, you also follow Li Xia Gongzi to have a long experience. ”

Saying this, Uncle Guo laughed twice.

What he said was very true, and Xia Zhi was not disgusted.

Aunt Xia asked Xia Zhi what she and the little black fish had eaten and played, and the little black fish happily told Aunt Xia that after eating in Juxian, she swam the North Canal on a painting boat.

Aunt Xia was very happy for Xia Zhi and the little black fish. "I'm afraid that the hospitality will not be good, and Li Xia Gongzi is unwilling to eat at our house. "Aunt Xia meant to invite Li Xia to come to the house for a meal one day.

Xia Zhi felt that Li Xia was still very approachable, and he shouldn't agree to this kind of thing. So she said to Aunt Xia: "Li Xia, he has to take the college exam in June, and he has to ask his father for instructions when he goes out for a while." I guess it's fine after that. I told my aunt that he would definitely be willing, but he was afraid of troublesome aunt. ”

"What's the trouble, it's not troublesome. Aunt Xia smiled, "When Li Xiagongzi is invited to eat at home, then let's ......" Speaking of this, she was stuck, turned her head and asked her son, "Changsheng, what did you say about that sentence, I can't remember it for a while." ”

Changsheng took over the conversation: "Mother, that's called Peng Shengshi." ”

"Yes, it's fluffy. Uncle Guo smiled and couldn't see his eyes, "If you can invite Li Xia Gongzi to come to our house to sit down and have a meal, then our family can get a little bit of the blessing of others, and it will be full of glory and brilliance." ”

Pearl didn't say anything, she ate the tofu skin bun slowly, but there was a look of envy on her face.

Aunt Xia instructed Xia Zhi again, saying that when Li Xia would come, she should tell her in advance, so that she could prepare. Then, she also smiled and said: "Li Xia Gongzi is really good, he has no shelf, and he still calls me aunt." In the future, if Li Xia Gongzi becomes a big official, he will definitely be a good official. ”

Li Xia was tested for Xiucai, and Aunt Xia thought that he would become a big official in the future, and she also thought long-term enough.

After dinner, because there was a busy day, there were more things to do tomorrow, so everyone rested early. Xia Zhi lay down on the kang, and his eyes were barely closed, when he heard the little black fish snoring.

The kid fell asleep with his pillow on it, and he's crazy today.

Xia Solstice closed his eyes and wanted to sleep, but Pearl was beside him and didn't know what to do. Xia Zhi endured it for a while, but Pearl didn't mean to stop. She had to turn her head to look.

The pearl's big eyes sparkled in the dark.

"Fourth sister......" Pearl called out affectionately.

"Pearl, don't sleep yet. Xia Zhi asked. Today when she came back from outside, she noticed that Pearl's attitude towards her was different from before.

"Fourth sister, painting...... Is it fun to draw boats?"
