Chapter 40: Growing Vegetables
Early the next morning
The news that Mu Xiucai's family and Zhou's family had moved to the town spread in the village, and beside the old well, some villagers were dancing to describe the other villagers who were fetching water.
"I really look at it, two carriages with compartments, one sits on Xiucai's family, the other sits on Zhou Laowu's family, nine catties drive his own ox cart to follow, and the ox cart is full of wild boars he picked up the day before yesterday......"
"Wow! I heard that the day before yesterday, these two families each received a reward of one hundred taels of silver, which is wide, and it is not uncommon to live in our dilapidated little village......
"What's so strange about this, how much does the Xiucai lady suffer from the big house in the village, and it is easy to have silver, don't you run away quickly, and wait to be robbed by the big house?"
The crowd gathered around the well, forgot to fetch water, and began to talk about it.
When Mu Zhongli heard the news, he was about to go out to find the patriarch, preparing to go to the town yesterday, and a man attacked her for the war between her and Zhang Tuzi. Which Cheng thought, before he could make a move, the people moved away quietly, without even saying hello, and now, even if the patriarch is willing to help him make trouble for the Du clan, it is beyond the reach of the whip!
"Ahem! It's a pity that the hundred taels of silver! Mu Zhongli's distressed liver trembled.
The daughter picked the bottle and comforted: "Dad, what's the hurry, one hundred taels is not a small amount, the second aunt has always spent money carefully, and she is reluctant to spend a few pennies, and when the second uncle comes back, let's sum it up, the silver is still ours!" ”
"The bottle is right!"
Mu Baishi raised his slack eyelids and glanced at his eldest son: "You are an adult in your forties, you might as well be a little girl with scheming." When the second child came back and saw his wife and children leaving so quietly, wouldn't he be suspicious? When the time comes, it is natural that we will say whatever we say, and we are not afraid that she will run to the sky! ”
"Yes, that's what my mother said!"
Although Mu Zhongli was unwilling, he had nothing to do at this time, so he had to suppress his greed and look forward to the second child's return soon......
town
Just after the hour, at the door of the Eight Blessings Restaurant, two ordinary two-wheeled carriages stopped, the curtain was lifted, and a girl wearing a pink placket jumped out of the car, turned around and picked up a three- or four-year-old baby from the car.
The little baby was wearing a new blue cotton jacket and a pair of newly made tiger head shoes, leaning tightly on the girl's arms, looking at the magnificent restaurant in front of her worriedly, and a pair of clear eyes were both excited and nervous.
"Eldest sister, is this the restaurant in which our family has a stake?" Cai Fei stepped out of the car and felt a little incredulous as she looked at the spectacle in front of her.
"Isn't that it?" Du Shi also got out of the car, pulled Wen'er, and smiled knowingly: "Let's go, go in and have a look......"
In the carriage behind, Zhou Lao Wu and the Hun family had already come down, following behind the Du family and his party, and the restaurant was tightened.
At this time, before the meal, the shopkeeper Cui was sitting in the counter, gossiping with the account room, and when he saw Cai Wei and his party coming in, he hurriedly got up and greeted him.
Cai Wei smiled: "Disturb the shopkeeper Cui, I brought my family to recognize the door, and I will move here today." ”
Shopkeeper Cui said politely: "Why bother, I was just trying to let the girl meet the guys in the store, but it happened that the girl came." With that, he beckoned, and called all the people hired in the restaurant.
There are two juniors in the Eight Blessings Restaurant, a chef, an accountkeeper and a miscellaneous dishwasher, a total of five people.
These five people had already heard about the change of ownership of Bafu Restaurant yesterday, and they were all nervous, fearing that if they changed owners, their jobs would not be guaranteed, so when they saw the new owner, they all looked like they were holding their breath and being respectful.
Cai Wei looked at these people, and saw that they were all honest and kind, she was very satisfied, and she also saw everyone's thoughts, so she said clearly: "You don't have to worry, although the Bafu Restaurant is in charge of me, but as long as you continue to be diligent and do your job, you can continue to do it here, if there are cheaters and tricks, I will not tolerate it, as for the salary, I promise, with me Mu Caiwei here, everyone's salary will only be more than now, not less than now!" ”
A few words of rigidity and softness, so that everyone can rest assured, and at the same time, they can't help but look at this immature little girl, this girl, at a young age, can have such a mind and courage, presumably it will not be a thing in the pool, and will be able to do something in the future!
Uncle Zhou also said a few words to everyone, obviously memorized the draft last night, although he said it a little stumblingly, but from those simple words, it is not difficult to see that this owner is a honest and honest man, follow him, and he will not be pitted!
Cai Wei exchanged a few more words with everyone, and then took her mother and younger siblings to the backyard.
When they entered the backyard, the eyes of several children were not enough, and they looked east and west, both curious and excited.
The original home had only three thatched houses, and when it was windy and rainy, you had to worry about whether the roof would be blown away by the wind and whether the mud walls would be blown down by the rain......
The new home here is a sturdy blue brick and large tile house, spacious and magnificent, with more than a dozen side rooms in the front and back, so you don't have to worry about those things.
A few children happily shuttled from room to room, unsure of where they wanted to live.
According to the Du family, I still hope to live with the children and her, not only to kiss the fragrance, but also to watch them cover the quilt at night, but unfortunately there is no big kang here, only a stepping bed in each room, covered with embroidered curtains, like the embroidery room of the young lady described in the storyteller.
After careful consideration, Du decided to take Wu'er and live in the big house in the east room; Wen'er was already seven years old, so he let him live alone next door to him, and Cai Fei and Cai Wei also lived in one room each.
At first, Cai Fei wanted to live in a room with her sister, but Cai Wei decisively refused, the reason why she was impatient to move to the town was not to facilitate the possibility of entering and leaving the space at any time, if Cai Fei lived with her, wouldn't she be tied hand and foot, of course she wouldn't agree.
"You have to be a female red at night, a bright oil lamp, it will affect my sister's sleep ......"
After finding a reason for refusal, the two sisters separated and lived in one room each.
Cai Wei chose a small room in the westernmost part, separated from Fei'er's room, although the room is a little smaller, but it is finally an independent room, and it will be much more convenient to go into the air and do anything in the future.
Moving her few personal belongings to Xijian'er, and making her bed, Cai Wei went to the restaurant in the front yard, called out a man, and ordered him to hire two people outside and pull a few carts of dirt.
Dude is a little confused, the owner is good, what do you want so much soil for?
But the owner's business is not something that he can put his beak in a small second, so he had to accept it and go away.
In fact, Cai Wei wants these soils, just to hide people's eyes, and now that the wings on the left and right sides are empty, it is better to use them as her cultivation practice, transport the soil of the space out, and then lead the water in the space Lingxi to irrigate, and see if it can grow as lush and rich green vegetables as the space!
There are six rooms in the wing, which has been emptied by the shopkeeper Cui yesterday, and there is nothing to do.
The outside soil was pulled in one by one, Cai Wei took advantage of no one, quietly put the soil into the space, and then transported the soil out of the space, as these ordinary soil, and ordered the short-term workers to spread the soil evenly on the ground, after paving, she took out some cucumbers, eggplants, lettuce, spinach, coriander and other common green vegetable seeds in the space, and secretly put the water of Lingxi into the big water tank, and helped water it in the back, and several people worked until it was almost dusk, before they were busy!
Looking at the dark earth in the six wings, Cai Wei prayed: I hope these seeds can grow as rich as the space as she wishes!
