"Brother Wang, I'm going to find someone to pull the bamboo. You do it first. Chu Ying arrived at the city gate and looked at Grandpa Li who was unloading.

"Grandpa Li, there is a big business." When Chu Ying arrived at the back door with the ox cart, the bamboo couldn't be put on the ground, and sure enough, the crops were real and diligent.

"Let's move together." Although the bamboo is cut from it, it is still a little long, and it is already very heavy before it can be loaded.

"It's almost, and I can't pull it with another cow." After tying the bamboo with a rope, Chu Ying sat on the ox cart and left with Grandpa Li.

"Grandpa Li, do you know where there is a paper mill here?"

"There is one in the south of the city, and there is one in the west of the city, what's wrong? They also have their own bamboo, so they probably won't want it. ”

"Then go to the south of the city, they can take it and throw it away if they don't want it." Chu Ying didn't have any hope that the bamboo could be sold, as long as they could come and pull the bamboo away, it would also save some time and money.

When I arrived at the paper mill, sure enough, the boss was unwilling to pay. "Boss, you don't need money for these, if you want it, just pull it over yourself, you see that these bamboos are big and thick, but they can't grow like this in a year."

"You don't want money, do you?" The owner of the paper mill picked up the bamboo and looked at it, it is indeed a perennial, mainly without money, anyway, the ox cart of the paper mill is also idle, you can go to pull the bamboo, this kind of beautiful thing can not be missed.

"Okay, where?" Chu Ying only knew Hu Da, but didn't know what the family's surname was.

"The Yan family." Grandpa Li cleared his throat and said solemnly.

"The Yan family? You can't steal this bamboo, do you? "Although the Yan family does not hold an official position, they have relatives who serve in Chang'an, and they are also considered high-ranking families.

"Their house is going to repair the pond, and these are going to be cut down." These bamboos belong to the Yan family, and the owner of the paper mill, who was still hesitant, immediately agreed.

"Then you can go and pull it now, right?" Chu Ying sat in Grandpa Li's ox cart and took the people from the paper workshop to Yan's house.

When the time comes, there will be another cart to pull away.

Chu Ying saw that a piece of bamboo had already been cut down, so she could dig these up first. "Brother Wang, let the three of you start digging first. The other is to cut bamboo, and when you are tired, you can take turns to do it. ”

"Okay." Towards evening, Grandpa Li had already pulled the mud three times, cut one-third of the bamboo, and dug one-fifth of the ground.

"Xiao Nizi is really reliable, I didn't see it, this job will be handed over to you. But you have to work hard, and there will be no shortage of money. "Everyone put the guy here first, and took Grandpa Li's ox cart to the city gate to pick up other people going home.

"Wang Er, what are you doing here? Dirty like this. ”

"It's nothing, let's dig the pool."

"Dig a pool? How much does it cost to pay people? Hearing Wang Jiyuan say that there was money to be made, several women surrounded Wang Jiyuan at once and asked the truth.

When I got home, Chu Yingcao ate some cold rice, washed his hands and went to sleep, fortunately, the larger bamboos have been burned, just cut the bamboo like them tomorrow.

For the next two days, everyone arrived at Yan's house early every day and worked hard. "You guys come so early every day. It's really not easy. Hu Da watched these six people work hard, and felt that 1 tael and a half money was worth it.

"I said I wouldn't eat, I wouldn't eat, I just wouldn't eat, cousin, I want to eat Xinyuanzhai's osmanthus cake." In the attic in the distance, a young woman was smashing her pink fist at a man in a slight rage.

"Don't eat it, do you? Hu Da, take it to those strong people to eat, they are tired after working for half a day. The man next to him had delicate eyebrows, a white bamboo robe, and a jade fan in his hand pushed the woman who threw herself in his arms away.

"Okay, Young Master Cousin." Hu Da ordered people to take a low table and bring a table of dishes and a daily steamer to the open space next to the pool.

"Let's eat first, this is the meal that the young master will add to you, let's work after eating." The brothers looked at the roast chicken on the table, and the pork knuckles were full of eyes, but they still pretended to be calm, and when the people left, they rushed up.

"Chu Ying, eat." Chu Ying took the chicken leg brought by Brother Wang and ate it with steamed cakes. "Du Sven, look at them one by one, just like jackals, tigers and leopards, don't make people laugh."

Qian Yong, who had just torn the chicken thighs and ate them violently, listened to what Brother Wang said, and immediately took a small bite. "For whom? Men are going to eat meat. ”

Chu Ying took a big bite, and the brothers didn't care about it when they heard Chu Ying say this, but it was also a lot more restrained than before.

"You also know that big men can eat meat in large gulps, so you can eat in small bites, and be careful that your jaw can't go back." Qian Yong deliberately bit a pig's foot.

After the meal, Chu Ying picked up all the leftover bones in the bowl and wiped the low table with a handful of grass. Everyone added their bodies and worked harder.

"Brother Qian, don't cut this, don't cut this piece. I'll do the rest. ”

"Didn't that Hu Da say that he cut them all down?"

"This piece is all Xiangfei bamboo and turtle back bamboo, which are precious, so don't cut them yet." Chu Ying had long noticed this small piece of different bamboo.

"That's fine." After Chu Ying finished cutting the remaining ordinary bamboo, she went to help carry the soil dug up from the ground, and by the way, she picked out some bamboo knots and bamboo shoots and put them in the back basket.

Waiting for the morning of the third day to dig the entire edge of the pool straight, tidy up the details, and sweep the mud on the ground, Chu Ying looked at it and went to call Hu Da.

"I haven't cut this piece yet, let's cut it in the afternoon." Don't cut corners, I'm all. Hu Da pointed to the piece of bamboo that Chu Ying deliberately wanted to stay.

"Hu Da, this piece is Xiangfei bamboo and tortoiseshell bamboo, which are very precious, I want to ask you first, you said that we will cut it." Hu Da heard that this little baby said that it was precious bamboo, so he ran to ask the young master.

At the beginning, this bamboo forest was planted for the young master. Yan Yushu, who got up early and was practicing swords, listened to Hu Da's report and came to see it in person.

Sure enough, on the side of the dug pond, there is a piece of Xiangfei bamboo and tortoiseshell bamboo. "I planted it when I was a child, but I didn't expect it to grow so much when it lived. You don't need to cut this piece, fortunately, you found such a cherished little baby, or you would have been cut down by those laymen, and they would have grown so tall. ”

Hu Da heard that it was the bamboo planted by the young master himself, no matter what the breed should not be cut, fortunately, this little baby has a little eyesight, otherwise the young master will talk about how to change this bamboo himself.

"Do you recognize these bamboos? There's nothing like that in the countryside. Chu Ying looked at the son in front of him who was standing in a white shirt with his hands in his hands, gentle as jade, like a green bamboo in summer, fresh and natural.

"The one with spots is the Xiangfei bamboo, and the ugliest one is the tortoiseshell bamboo."

Yan Yushu listened to her say that the turtle back bamboo is the ugliest, the gas comes from it, this tortoise shell bamboo is like a tortoise shell, both rare and rare, especially when it grows into such a tall bamboo plant, it is a treasure in the bamboo, this little baby actually said that it is the ugliest, and it is really a rural child.

"Hu Da, there is a reward." Chu Ying looked at the strange young master who walked away and his face turned a little stinky. "Yes, Young Master." Chu Ying pulled Brother Wang and followed Hu Da to the account room to withdraw money.

"There is a total of 1 tael and 5 coins here, plus these 2 coins as a reward. Take it. Chu Ying looked at the copper coins piled up on the wooden plate and asked Brother Wang to take them first.

"Then thank you, Huda. Next time you have such a job, you can find us, look at fate. Chu Ying took 2 strings of copper coins and complained that such a large courtyard couldn't get silver, so she had to give so many copper plates.

"Brother Wang, don't you need silver here? Why do you give copper plates? It's inconvenient. When he got to Grandpa Li's ox cart, Chu Ying was still complaining about Hu Da who gave the copper plate and didn't give the silver.

"I've never seen silver, everyone uses copper plates, and it is estimated that the saint only uses silver." Everyone sat around the car, ready to divide the money.

"1 tael 7 money, 2 money 20 wen for one person, 3 money 80 wen for Grandpa Li. And these bamboo shoots are also divided. "Everyone leaned back when they saw the bamboo shoots, and they didn't want to see it.

"I want to vomit when I eat, you can take these back."

"Chu Ying, the 2 coins are your reward money, you can take it yourself."

"Yes, it's enough for each of us to take 2 dollars."

"This reward is also everyone's credit, then I will take 1 money, and everyone will share the other money, everyone will earn the money, if you don't take it, I won't call you if you have a job in the future." Chu Ying divided 1 coin into 6 parts of 10 coin and 1 part of 40 coins.

"Don't shirk it, everybody. Just do what Chu Ying said. After everyone got out of the car, Grandpa Li sent Chu Ying and Brother Wang home again, because the two bamboo baskets in the car were filled with bamboo shoots and bamboo whips.

"Grandpa Li, you can take some."

"No, there are enough at home, you can keep them. I'll go first. ”

Chu Ying picked up the bamboo shoots and prepared to give them to Brother Wang, but Wang Qiyuan hurriedly resigned and went home.

Chu Ying looked at the 3 back baskets full of bamboo shoots at home and the bamboo whips and bamboos piled high in the yard, she estimated that she would have to eat bamboo shoots for a few months, what if she ate too much and became a bamboo essence?
