Chapter 55: Dishes
Li Chen just nodded lightly and didn't say anything.
Yuan Qing didn't know what they were talking about, and he didn't ask. At this time, the rare female animals on the construction site came chattering, and they were probably here to apply for a chef.
Yuan Qing looked at them, and calculated that there were about ten people, but the people who cooked the rice were actually enough for two or three people, and they had some headaches, how to choose?
"Miss Yuan, didn't you say that you wanted someone to come to the construction site to cook? ......," said a woman with a loud voice.
"I mean, I'm going to talk about cooking first." Yuan Qing cleared his throat, looked at the women, and said in a clear voice: "Cooking at the construction site, you can get seventy yuan a month, and every day breakfast, lunch and dinner, you have to come to cook, you can't do it, if you don't do it, you will be deducted money, and it takes a lot of time to cook, if your family is too busy, forget it." ”
"Think about it, I come here to cook in the morning, noon and evening, I still have children at home, and the elderly have to take care of them, I'm afraid you won't be able to come."
"Yes, I'm going to sow seeds in the field after a while, I'm afraid I won't have time."
Is there time to brush out more than half of the women, and there are still five people left, and their homes do not need to be taken care of, and there is also time......
"Okay, the five of you come with me." Yuan Qing was never reluctant, just spoken, she turned away, they couldn't come over, it was all their meaning.
The women, who didn't have time to cook at the construction site, had to go home.
The five people who followed Yuan Qing became four, and one person followed her mother.
The four people who stayed, Yuan Qing looked at them, one of them was the one she only met this morning, named Zhang Meixiang, and the other three she didn't know, looking at her. However, Yuan Qing's eyes stayed more on a girl with a beautiful appearance and a clean temperament.
"Tell yourselves, all of you." Yuan Qingdao.
"Miss Yuan, we only met this morning, you know me." Zhang Meixiang said with a smile.
Yuan Qing nodded noncommittally and looked at the second woman.
She was dressed in green clothes and coarse cloth. With an ordinary appearance and rough palms, she said, "My name is Mu He, the wood of wood." The grass of the seedlings. ”
Mu He, it's also a good name, Yuan Qing nodded, the third woman was shorter than ordinary women, and she looked petite and delicate. It should be a pleasant person, she said: "My name is Wu Lilian, Miss Yuan, you can call me Lilian." ”
Well, her eyes swept over, and she stayed on the fourth girl, this girl is the girl who has received the most attention from Yuan Qing, she is also beautiful and lovely, she is a beauty. She spoke: "Girl, the little girl's name is Xiao Mo. "The sound is like the flow of clear water. The sound is crisp and showy.
Xiao Mo is a good name, but it doesn't look like a name that a village girl should have? Hearing this, Yuan Qing raised her eyes and looked at her seriously, if she hadn't come here to apply for cooking, Yuan Qing really couldn't see that she would be from Bilian Village.
"Well, okay, the four of you can stay and help cook at the construction site." Yuan Qing finally concluded that it was enough for the four of them to cook at the construction site. There's no need to pick and choose.
"Miss Xie Yuan." The petite Wu Lilian opened her mouth to thank her, and then the three girls thanked Yuan Qing at the same time.
"Well, now on the construction site, there is a pot......" Yuan Qing thought and turned to look. At the edge of the shed, Bai Bo had already arrived, and he was working on the stove.
"By the way, Miss Yuan, such as kitchen knives and spatula, do you want us to bring them from your own home?" Mu He, who was quite calm, said.
"Yes. If you have it at home, bring it. By the way, is there any surplus food in the village, that is, the food in your own home, there is enough to eat, and there is still leftover? Yuan Qing asked. To cook here, you need rice, vegetables, oil, salt......
Rice, oil, and salt can be stored for a long time without worrying, but the dishes are not easy to make......
In Bilian Village, there are many people and little land, basically the things grown in the field, the family will not eat them, and the dish is an ingredient with a short storage time and a large demand......
"Girl, I'm afraid there is no one in the village who has extra vegetables at home." Wu Lilian said.
"I see." Yuan Qing nodded, "You guys go home first, and when it's tomorrow, you come back again." "Now there is no rice, no vegetables, no ingredients, none of these, you need to wait until it is available before this rice can be made. Yuan Qing didn't know when the ingredients would come, so she couldn't give a definite cooking time.
"Okay then." Zhang Meixiang said.
By this time, it was already morning, and the workers had gone home for breakfast.
"By the way, Miss Yuan, your father-in-law, what is his name? I mean, what do I call him? Zhang Meixiang hadn't left yet, she asked in a low voice beside Yuan Qing. There is no way, this man looks like he is not allowed to enter, so he can only come and ask him "lady".
"Well, his surname is Li." Yuan Qing said lightly, damn, it seems that this nominal husband and wife are not easy to be. The ability to resist blows must be strong.
"So, in the morning, when I talk to him, he doesn't pay attention to me, did I provoke him something?" Zhang Meixiang asked again.
"You don't have to worry about that, I ...... Xianggong is like this, just get used to it. Yuan Qing said the words "I am a father" very against his will.
"Okay, girl, I'll go first." After speaking, Zhang Meixiang turned around and left.
Yuan Qing turned her head sideways, looking straight at her with a calm gaze, and she could only smile faintly at him. A second ago, she was talking to someone else about him......
Next to the shed, Bai Bo is making the stove, and the two cauldrons need to be placed on the stove, don't they?
Coal mining is a more difficult thing, in addition to solving various problems, but also need to have the advantage of the miners themselves, this advantage is reflected in Yuan Qing is money, embodied in the prince is power, with these two, mining coal can be said to be very smooth.
On the way back is a mountain trail with a lot of weeds. The breeze is light, and it looks like a cold day at the end of winter. The workers are all walking on the path, facing the cold wind at the end of winter, walking slowly.
Just now, Li Chen happened to hear what Yuan Qing said to Zhang Meixiang on the side, and he heard something else, but she said that the three words "I am a father-in-law" clearly referred to him, and he heard it very clearly, and until now, he feels a little warm in his heart......
Gathering his mind, he said lightly: "Why are you stunned? Let's go, I'll take you to see something. ”
was reminded by him, Yuan Qing realized that he was stunned when he saw the beautiful man just now, really, a sin, a sin...... "Oh, what is it?" ”
"My memory is really bad." He didn't even bother to explain.
"Like, I'm thinking about it again." Yuan Qing vaguely remembered that one evening not long ago, she begged him for something, as if it were.
Next to the shed, a man who looked like a guard ran out of a box, and the box was opened, and inside was gunpowder of this era, which seemed to be similar to **, and this power was by no means covered.
Is this called responsiveness? Well, no matter what, she was still grateful to him from the bottom of her heart, although she couldn't say those meaty words of thanks, but ......
Think for yourself.
**, in this era, it is considered the most powerful weapon, is it a bit violent to use it to blow up coal seams?
But people who think so will not let ** appear here, since ** appeared on the construction site, it means that no one thinks this is a tyrannical thing...... Of course, most people think that this is a tyrannical thing, so what can it do? He still couldn't stop it, so the key person just felt that it wasn't a tyrannical thing.
The gunpowder matter has come to an end, in short, with the help of gunpowder, the kind of coal that is difficult to dig can be done with a ** explosion.
There is also a big problem, that is, the problem of eating, there are more than 60 people working on the construction site, they have been digging coal very hard, if they can't eat enough, the work efficiency is not to be improved.
Ingredients are needed for meals, rice, vegetables, oil, salt, water......
This is a real life, and since it is life, you have to think about all kinds of things in life.
Akishu is a land with few fields, and in addition to having a large number of fruit forests, rice needs to be transported from other places, and vegetables are self-sufficient, so there is no surplus to sell......
If there are more than 60 men who have enough to eat every day, rice and vegetables have to go to the supplier to supply......
Yuan Qing is the shopkeeper of the Yuehu Restaurant, and the restaurant is also dealing with "eating", so the ingredients of the restaurant are transported from Liuzhou, that is to say, Liuzhou is a redundant place for rice and vegetables, just as Qiuzhou is a redundant place for fruits.
Bilian Village is just at the junction of Qiuzhou and Liuzhou, which is just convenient to go to Liuzhou to buy ingredients...... It looks like I'm going to Liuzhou.
Yuan Qing thought in his heart, if you want to buy rice and vegetables, you need to go to Liuzhou, the next state, to buy, and the time arrangement, it is best to start your journey, after all, eating is a daily thing, the sooner the better.
At this time, the sun is rising, and the sky is faintly reddish, very hazy, and there is not much temperature. In the small courtyard and in the hall, the sound of conversation was heard.
"Then I'm leaving." Yuan Qing took all the things that needed to be prepared and put them in a baggage, she carried the burden on her back and prepared to leave for Liuzhou. In fact, the burden is not heavy, it is very flat and light.
"I'll go too." Li Chen was not very relieved that Yuan Qing would go alone, and said.
"Well, that's okay......" Yuan Qing nodded for no reason, and did not object.
So the two set off from Bilian Village to Liuzhou, noting that they walked to Liuzhou on their own feet, without riding horses or riding carriages...... In fact, Bilian Village is not far from Liuzhou, and it is possible to reach Liuzhou after crossing a mountain at the junction of Qiuliu and Liuzhou.
The two of them walked out of Bilian Village, preparing to walk into the mountains that blocked them.
In the afternoon, the two came to Liuzhou.
Liuzhou is adjacent to Qiuzhou, a place rich in land, rich in rice and vegetables, and it is cheaper to buy rice and vegetables here.
"It's really ten miles of different days." Yuan Qing looked at the vast rice fields in Liuzhou, which were in stark contrast to the forests in Qiuzhou, and couldn't help but sigh. To be continued
