Chapter Eighty-Eight: Someone Is Coming
The small courtyard of the Xia family is particularly lively today, and more than a dozen people have filled the courtyard of the Xia Cao family, and Xia Cao was frightened by this battle when she took a nap. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xia Cao didn't expect so many people to come back from her family this afternoon, and in addition to Li Mingyang and Goudan who promised her the day before yesterday, there were only five or six people who agreed.
Seeing such people, she still started to be the shopkeeper, and those who can work harder, anyway, this is a piece of cake for the eldest brother, although Xia Cao also dealt with various customers in her previous life, she was still a little impatient with these neighborhood relationships, especially with a group of children.
Brother Xia Caokeng did a good job, pushed Xia Qiaomu out, and said to the people in the courtyard: "You can come to my brother for anything, my eldest brother has the final say on this matter of buns and wages." ”
"Brother Qiao Mu, I know this is a bit excessive, but Brother Qiao Mu, I promise that my younger brothers and sisters will be quiet and will not quarrel. My mother went to the field, and there was really no one at home to take care of him, so I brought them here. Dogan said, holding his two younger siblings.
The little one led by the dog, looking at the little girl who was only about two years old, thin and small, walked without a sharp start.
"Qiao Mu, did you hear Manzi say that you can pay wages for making bamboo tubes here, or take meat buns, is it true? If yes, count me in. ”
"When did Arbor start making bamboo tubes?"
……
Because of the temptation of meat buns, coupled with the preaching of those informed teenagers a few days ago, now half of the teenagers in the village who have nothing to do come to Xia Cao to wait for the foreman and take the buns.
Xia Qiaomu looked at the noisy crowd, his head couldn't help but hurt a little, and he glared back at Xia Cao, the culprit.
"Everyone, be quiet. Listen to me. Xia Qiaomu raised his hands high and calmed the crowd down first.
"My sister may not have made it clear to you the day before yesterday, so let's make it clear to you today. We make two bamboo tubes at my house and we give a penny, or a bun. If it's too little, you can leave. Wait a minute, my second brother and I will teach you how to do it, and then everyone will do it according to that standard, you know? I'll talk about the ugly things first, if you don't do well, you don't have a salary, and you don't have to eat buns! ”
After Xia Qiaomu finished speaking, there was no one who wanted to leave.
"Xiaocao come over and take these younger brothers and sisters to play." Xia Qiaomu pointed to the two children beside Goudan and said to Xia Cao.
"Dog, your brother and your sister will bring it to Xiaocao first." Xia Qiaomu said to the dog again.
Xia Qiaomu was afraid of waiting for the next knife, and there were more than a dozen bright knives in the whole yard, and it would be bad if he accidentally injured two small points.
For the sake of safety, it is still who causes the trouble and who will solve it. It's better to let Xia Cao take them to play and stay away from this dangerous area.
"Come, Dunzi, Xiaohua, I'll take you to play!" Natsukusa took the hands of the two children from the dog's hand.
Xia Cao looked at these two little ones and didn't know what to say, Dunzi was better than her age, just a few months younger, and Xiaohua, the girl, was still bubbling with snot.
Natsukusa felt like she had picked up a rock and hit her own foot, and now she was going to be reduced to a free babysitter. She couldn't do anything about the two children, but fortunately, the two little ones were also relatively well-behaved and didn't make trouble with her.
Xia Cao directly took the two children to her mother to deal with, she threw a rag for Xiaohua to sit on the chair and play with herself, went into the kitchen and took a bun and handed it to Dunzi.
"Mother, you help me watch the two of them." Natsukusa said.
Xia Cao buried her head in the cloth to draw her design sketches, to put it bluntly, it is the cute picture of the zodiac, and a few of the various shapes are drawn, and then let the father and the eldest brother choose which one.
The zodiac signs should be a good selling point, after all, everyone has their own attributes, suitable for men, women and children.
"Sister Xiaocao, what are you doing here? It looks like a rat and doesn't look like it. My rats steal food to eat, and my mother chases and fights every time, but the rats are not so cute. ”
I don't know when Dunzi was eating steamed buns, boredly looking through the design drawings drawn by Xia Cao.
"Dunzi, look at how this mouse is drawn, cute! Looking at it, you won't be reluctant to hit it. "It's rare for someone to speak," Natsukusa asked.
"No!"
"Then let's see if this pig looks good?" Natsukusa continued to ask.
……
In the evening, Xia Qiaomu counted the number of helpers in the yard, distributed buns according to the amount, and if he wanted copper plates, he also gave copper plates. After settling the money, Xia Qiaomu dismissed them.
"Qiao Mu, can we still come here tomorrow to make bamboo tubes?" Someone asked with a bun.
The others also looked at Xia Qiaomu with hopeful eyes, hoping to get an affirmative answer, after all, it was rare to get a few big meat buns by doing some work in the village.
"I won't need it for the time being tomorrow, and I'll definitely let you know next time." Xia Qiaomu's answer disappointed them.
Nowadays, the demand for bamboo tubes is gradually decreasing, and sometimes customers prefer to drink soy milk directly at their steamed bun shop. The hundred or so bamboo tubes in the yard are enough for their family for a while.
In the evening, Xia Qiaomu told Xia Muhan and Su Shi the idea of discussing the puppet business with Xia Cao this morning, and after Xia Qiaomu's words, Xia Muhan and Su finally agreed.
Xia Cao's design drawings of the zodiac signs drawn that afternoon were taken out for them to be judged and made the final choice.
The zodiac signs painted by Xia Cao are two series, the normal version and the cute series, and in one afternoon, there are so many patterns that Xia Cao can draw.
"Otherwise, we will do both, and then compare the results made, and now we can't see any difference in a picture like this." Su Shi compared some of these materials, and she really couldn't see anything exciting about it.
But it can't dampen her daughter's self-confidence and positivity, the beckoning cat last time was modified by her guidance, and the effect was still good. She had no choice but to say euphemistically.
The next morning, Xia Cao and Xia Maihe also followed their father and mother to the town, selling steamed buns just by the way, and of course their main purpose today was Bai Jide's rich library. Xia Cao was still thinking about Bai Jide, whether he was willing to develop on the road of dentist.
When the buns were almost sold, Xia Cao carried the buns and soy milk to the Baicaotang where Bai Jide lived.
After Bai Jide had left that day, he called Artemisia to go to the town and ask the children if they had any dental problems.
Artemisia bought a few pieces of candy and snacks, and went to the children who were playing on the street, inquired one by one, made records, and went back to tell Bai Jide the results of the investigation.
However, for the sake of prudence, Bai Jide felt that the children who came out to play on the street were a little younger, and there were fewer children over ten years old, and he still had to investigate children of this age before he could make a decision. (To be continued.) )
