Chapter 126: Treat (2)
The next day, after breakfast, Mu Zhen and Baozhu were busy.
Originally, Qi Niang and Aunt Xu were both going to help, but Mu Zhen drove the two out, "Don't say it's four or five tables of dishes, just four or five more tables, Baozhu and I are also busy personally." You two should go and entertain the guests. ”
Aunt Xu smiled and pulled Qi Niang out, "Let's go, there are two capable ones, let's just wait for food with peace of mind." ”
Yesterday I had already prepared all the soup and stewed dishes, and today I will cut the dishes to be fried in advance and start stir-frying when all the guests are on the table.
It's still the same thirteen flowers, originally Mu Zhen planned to get seven fruit plates and five cold vegetable plates. After all, it is snowing, and there are more cold dishes and cold food. But after doing the math, there were not so many ready-made fruit plates, so I had to get five in the end.
For the first time, Mu Zhen was a little nostalgic for her previous life, so many ready-made things, you can put them on a plate and serve them on the table, not to mention seven, even twenty can be made.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhen couldn't help but have an idea.
Although she may not be able to do so many things in her previous life, it is still no problem for her to be simple and store for a long time.
Since she can make zuò come out, and she plans to engage in business in the future, isn't this a good way?
Thinking of this, Mu Zhen couldn't help but get excited, and hurriedly asked Yiqing to pull her father-in-law over, planning to discuss it with him.
"Zhenzhen called me here to discuss the house?" Mo Xiaocai entered the room with his front foot, and asked Mu Zhen with a smile.
Mo Xiao guessed accurately, and Mu Zhen didn't think it was strange, her father-in-law was very smart, and she already knew it.
"Yes, I'm going to think about it, I think it's okay to build another workshop at home, so that it's convenient to do whatever you want in the future, you remember to include this when you discuss it with them."
The drawings were discussed by Mu Zhen and Mo Xiaocai, and Mu Zhen just reminded Mo Xiaocai that Mo Xiaocai had a rough idea in his heart.
No matter what she does, Mu Zhen always has a serious energy, and Mo Xiaocai also knows her temperament, and touched her long hair with a smile, "I know, I must live up to the task assigned by the lady." ”
Sometimes you have to sigh at the magic of feelings, even if the ink effect is invisible, but many times, the interaction between him and Mu Zhen seems to be realized without looking at it.
After breakfast, the big guys came one after another, Dr. Xu took out a pair of chess pieces and handed them to the two masters in the village.
Although there was no other entertainment, the men watched the chess, the women chatted about homely things, and the time came quickly.
When the table opened, it was full after three seats, and the children's table was full. Yiqing was very happy, like a little master, arranging how the friends would sit. The amazing thing is that although he was always bullied before, now his commands, the little ones are willing to listen.
In the end, Dr. Xu discussed with Mrs. Xu, and called a few more people who were more prestigious in the village and had a better relationship with Muzhen.
It was enough for Mu Zhen and Baozhu to cook, and all the others were called to accompany the guests at the table.
Everyone ate Mu Zhen's colorful dishes and drank wine, and everyone was happy in their hearts.
The village chief is the leader, so he naturally has to speak first, "The third child, although what the family did made people a little troublesome, but Zhenniang is a good one, so she didn't lose anything." It's also a bittersweet one, this time it's a house in the village, Mo Ji lives in the deep mountains and old forests, it's not convenient to do anything, and it's not convenient to come and go between neighbors. ”
The village chief took the lead, and the others also picked up, and Geumsan also agreed with Mo Xiaocai and them moving down, and echoed and said: "That's right, you come down to live, and you are also a foil to each other." ”
At the village chief's table, there were Dr. Xu, Mo Xiaocai, Jinshan, Zhao Mingzhe, and several other prestige people. Although it was Mo Xiaocai who built the house, Dr. Xu, as an elder, must speak first.
"This time, I took everyone into the house, saying that I had caught some wild things, and asked everyone to try them, but in fact, my female son-in-law planned to move to the village, and I took a look at everyone in advance, and I bothered you to take care of it for the second time, and my son-in-law was unwell and couldn't drink, and my grandfather represented it."
As soon as Dr. Xu's words landed, he took the lead in raising a glass to everyone.
After drinking, Dr. Xu continued: "Secondly, there is a good thing to tell you, and you will have to count on the help of the big guys in the future." ”
At this time, a young man at the next table spoke: "Uncle Xu, if you have anything to say, just say it, as long as you can help, the big guy will help." ”
The village chief took a chopstick and fed it to his mouth, and said, "Yes, with our friendship, if you want to help, it's a matter of words." ”
Doctor Xu arched his hand at everyone with a smile and said, "The little son-in-law and the little daughter plan to build a house in the village, so I'm afraid that the second time will inevitably trouble everyone." ”
When Jinshan heard this, he smiled and said: "This is a good thing, I don't know if the third child and Zhenniang have chosen the foundation of the house?" ”
Mo Xiaocai looked at Jinshan in the direction of the voice and said, "It's chosen, it's not far from your house." ”
Jinshan first laughed and said: "This is a good thing, we will be neighbors in the future, and that place is my land, so we brothers can discuss it." ”
Then he thought about it and asked uncertainly, "Where are you going to build a house?" But if I'm not mistaken, that place is wet all year round, and if you build a house there, I'm afraid it's easy to get damp in the house. ”
Jinshan's words, Mo Xiaocai couldn't help but think of Mu Zhen's appearance when he picked this place, "Xianggong, let me tell you, let's choose the foundation of the house on top of Brother Shanzi." I found out when I was walking around the village with Yiqing. Although the place is wet, it also means that there is water there, as long as we dig a well and it will be fine. ”
Mu Zhen's words revealed that she had long paid attention to building a house by herself, and this feeling of having the same idea as herself made Mo Xiaocai feel comfortable from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing Jinshan's question, Mo Xiaocai smiled and repeated Mu Zhen's words.
"Haha." As soon as Mo Xiaocai's words were finished, the village chief laughed, "This is really smart, and even the location of his house has been thought out in advance." ”
The village chief's words made everyone laugh, but no, this person is shrewd in everything.
The smile on Mo Xiaocai's face also deepened, "The title deed, as well as the details of building the house, I'll talk about it in front of everyone." We are going to buy ten acres of land and go all the way to the bamboo garden at the bottom of the mountain. The tile is troublesome to the village chief, but the tile we keep counting the black ones, I heard that some can be burned to cyan, I don't know if the uncle can burn them out? The price or something, you just follow the standard. It's the beginning of November now, and we plan to build the house before the New Year, so we may have to invite a few more people to hit the wall, and ask the workers to come at the price of small workers, and we will also cover the food, that is, when everyone is doing the work, give us a help to worry about it. ”
Mo Xiaocai's words, everyone who listened to them were dumbfounded, ten acres of land, what is the concept of this matter? Ordinary people, it's great to build a house and half an acre of land. There is also this salary, which is more expensive than the average one.
The village chief thought for a while and said: "This tile is good to say, the package is given to us, but I can't burn it now, and I can ask the boss to go out to study when I go back, I heard that this kind of tile is popular in the county now, but you are sure of this land and wages?" ”
Not to mention the village chief, it was Dr. Xu's two sons, who heard Mu Zhen say this at the time, and they didn't agree with it, but later heard about Mu Zhen's plan, so they agreed.
Doctor Xu took over and said: "You know, Zhen Niang is a successful person, she built such a big house, she has other plans, and this matter of land and tiles will trouble Lao Gen." In addition, we plan to build a two-story wall a little higher, so that any of your relatives from other villages who are good at doing the work can be called. There are also stonemasons, carpenters, carpenters, we all want, everyone who knows each other can pull over, but I am ugly in the front, if anyone dares to cheat and play tricks on me, do some small actions, I will find someone to change him at any time, twenty wen a day, even if he goes to the town to recruit workers, there are also a lot of people who are willing to come. ”
If Mo Xiaocai said this, some people would definitely think that he was arrogant, and those craftsmen with good craftsmanship were all old, and Mo Xiaocai was not suitable to say these words of grace and power, so it was Dr. Xu who spoke.
Doctor Xu's words have come to this point, and the village chief must be cheering, "It seems that Xu Laohan's woman has made a big difference in the second time, and we in Pingyao Village, maybe we will ask Zhenniang to bring it up." ”
Who thinks less money? Who doesn't want to be rich? The status of merchants in the Daheng Dynasty was not lower than that of peasants, and if it weren't for the lack of a way, everyone would be eager to engage in business.
Therefore, the words of the village chief were very inflammatory, and everyone present said that they wanted to come to work.
"Uncle Xu, your salary is high, how many people do you want to work? When does it start? If I call my relatives here, you won't be short of people here, don't I ask others to run for nothing? ”
"There are three stonemasons, three carpenters, and three carpenters, and what are these things to do, and when we decide which ones to invite, I will say again, and then there will be four big workers who hit the wall, and we have already drawn the drawings. The small worker will come by one hundred first, and when the next meal is finished, and he can vacate this time at the end of the year, he will come to Mingzhe to report his name. Let me first make it clear that the craftsmen you introduced, if you can't do it, you won't open this mouth. If you are willing to come, you will come at the end of the year, and if you leave halfway, either you will find someone to replace me, or you will not report this name. ”
Doctor Xu's words were naturally to avoid trouble in the future, but some people were really uncomfortable when they heard it, "Uncle Xu, aren't you doing overlord work?" If someone has any work in the middle room, won't you let them go? What makes sense of this? ”
Although what this person said is also reasonable, but there are always people who can't get along with money, and a person at the same table retorted, "I said Zhuzi, if you have something, don't come to sign up, what is it called an overlord worker, it's not that Uncle Xu didn't give you money." If you don't earn it, we still earn it. ”
"That's it, it's a matter of the end of the year, you don't earn it, we earn it."
As soon as everyone said this, the man named Zhu quickly changed his words and said, "Didn't I say the wrong thing, why didn't I sign up?" Such a good thing. I was the first to report. ”
Everyone laughed for a while, and then they didn't care anymore, Mo Xiaocai listened to everyone's voice and slowly became smaller, and said: "Also, if the daughter-in-law in which house has kung fu, she can also come to help cook, we plan to find five cooks, the salary is given according to the small worker, three meals a day are eaten here by us, it is still the same, the hands and feet must be sharp, and they must be able to do it from beginning to end." ”
When the meal was almost over, Zhao Mingzhe took out the recruitment registration book made by Mu Zhen.
Of the forty or fifty people present, thirty small workers finally signed up, a few said they would discuss it, and two cooks signed up, namely Shui Ling and Hongmei, and the others said they would go back and discuss with the house.
Although the workers are still far behind, there are at least three or four sons in any house, and when the time comes, there will be those burdens, cousins, and all of them will be easy.
Therefore, for the start of work in three days, Dr. Xu is not worried about not winning people at all.
