29 Settle in

He Xiuxiu made up her mind and began to worry about the future of food and clothing, so she took Jiang Xiaohua out early in the morning to find work, leaving Jiang Xiaomiao to rest in the inn. At noon, He Xiuxiu went home, because she considered that she didn't have much money in her hand, and it was not safe for a single woman to live alone with her two young daughters, so she finally decided to find a job with food and accommodation, her old job was a washerwoman, and it was not difficult to find a job in the town.

There are many single men in the town who make a living by collecting medicines and medicines, and their hard work also brings them a good income, so the cooking and washing are naturally outsourced to others. After a full day of job hunting, He Xiuxiu's mother and daughter finally found a thousand-year-old medicinal herb shop called "Shuyuge" to work as a washerwoman, including food and shelter, and looking at the table Xiàn gave red envelopes during the New Year, it is difficult to talk about how much. Now the shopkeeper has not signed a contract with He Xiuxiu's family, and he has to wait for their family to come over to meet before making the final plan.

The shopkeeper of Shuyu Pavilion is a woman in her fifties surnamed Yao, who is also a poor person who has been widowed for many years, and has never given birth, and only adopted her niece under her name to support the elderly. When Shopkeeper Yao was young, she had been a miscellaneous disciple of the outer sect in the Youlan Sect, if it weren't for her qualifications, she would not be able to lead her to the path of cultivation with some resources with the relationship between her family and the Youlan Sect.

Yao's niece and husband are both outer disciples of Youlan Sect, and now the two of them have gone to other places to help Youlan Sect, and they will not be able to come back until about half a year later. The old lady was very lonely, and when she suddenly saw He Xiuxiu's family who came to find a job, her face immediately became angry.

She still likes children very much, especially Jiang Xiaomiao is clever and polite enough, and she coaxed Yao's shopkeeper into a smile after just a while after entering the store. Because this old lady agreed to add an extra mouth, Jiang Xiaohua is almost ten years old, she can work, and her income and expenditure are about the same. As for raising Jiang Xiaomiao, she was purely an idle eater, but the old lady didn't care at all, and immediately asked the steward to take the contract to sign.

After pressing the handprint on the contract, He Xiuxiu immediately started work, worked hard to wash the clothes of the store pù guys that day, and was busy cleaning up the small room where the shopkeeper arranged to live. She was busy going in and out, and it wasn't until midnight that she was settled. The two children lived in a house with a dragon and a wall of fire for the first time, and they were so excited that they could not do it, thinking that this winter would be better.

Jiang Xiaomiao cleaned up the bed yesterday, and somehow tilted her head and fell asleep on the bed, and when she woke up, she saw Jiang Xiaohua happily holding a piece of hair cake with red beans for her to eat.

Jiang Xiaohua looked like she had eaten a full meal, and she said to Jiang Xiaomiao beautifully: "Sister, it's good to live here, how do you know that you can find such a good place by going all the way east." Our host is a good person, we are well fed and live warmly here. As long as we finish the work given by the owner, we can still do some private work to earn some money for clothes. This bean cake is so delicious, it was given to us by the owner, one piece per person, it's really good. ”

Seeing that the stupid sister has a full meal and the world is peaceful, Jiang Xiaomiao is quite envious, for Mao? It's because her nature likes to see the long term, likes more and better things, and because it's not easy to be satisfied, she doesn't have those simple happiness.

Infected by Jiang Xiaohua's happiness, Jiang Xiaomiao also happily finished eating the red bean hair cake in her hand. The two little sisters who are full of food have to do what they want to do, Jiang Xiaohua wants to be her mother's assistant, and she can't be idle today.

He Xiuxiu began to dry the clothes she had washed last night in the sun in the morning, and helped sew some clothes after they were dried. The guys will also ask He Xiuxiu to help remove some of the bedding and wash it today, and He Xiuxiu can't wait to be busy every day, so that their mother and daughter can gain a foothold in this place, and the useless people who are willing to raise them for leisurely meals.

Jiang Xiaomiao likes to be an idler, originally, she is only less than six years old, and her body is also thin, this time she also suffered some hardships on the road, before observing the living environment, she does not plan to do anything. After getting up in the morning, Jiang Xiaomiao put on a water red coat with the fewest patches, combed the bun that he thought was very cute, and began to wander around the courtyard of the Jade Pavilion. Her little mouth was very sweet, and she quickly got a general understanding of the affairs of the Jade Pavilion.

Shuyu Pavilion is a thousand-year-old shop, and the backer is the Youlan Sect. In front of the Yuyu Pavilion is a shop that sells medicine, and the decoration is very high-grade. Things range from a tael of silver and a small piece of detoxifying medicine and pastry to thousands of spirit stones for the Zhuji Pill. Supporting the scene in the shop is a former disciple of the Youlan Sect, who is considered to be the grandparents of the Yao shopkeeper clan in terms of age.

This old immortal of the grandfather's generation lingered on the fourth floor of the foundation for a long time and couldn't break through, so he left the sect to spend the last years in the family's industry, which can be regarded as exerting his residual heat for the family. He didn't care about anything in business, he just solved the trouble and identified some special medicinal herbs.

Under normal circumstances, the daily business is done by the men and stewards, and the shopkeeper Yao only needs to check the accounts and put away the silver coins and spars, spirit stones and other things. However, now because her niece and husband are not in the store, now her old man still has to take care of the big thing of going to Youlan Zongdantang to deliver raw materials and buy finished pills. Fortunately, she was used to it when she was young, and it was not a hassle to take over the care for most of the year.

There is also a large workshop behind the shop of the Jade Pavilion, processing all the raw materials to be sent to the Youlan Sect. The raw material must be purchased from the hands of the herb collector and sorted or processed before it can be used. Because refining medicinal herbs is a secret matter, there is a magic circle between the herb collection and the processing workshop, Jiang Xiaomiao is not qualified to enter the processing workshop, and can only watch the excitement in the place where the herbs are collected.

This season is the peak season for picking clematis, yellow and red catalpa, and white glow fruit, and in the evening, there are many medicine customers who sell their day's harvest to Shuyuge at the medicine collection point in the backyard. The pharmacy manager of Shuyu Pavilion is a veteran in this industry, and he can distinguish the level of medicinal herbs by looking at it casually, and the medicine customers in this industry respect him very much. The steward likes to drink tea, and every morning he brews a pot of tea and begins to sort out the herbs that were not sorted out last night, and can only be put into the warehouse at noon.

Seeing Jiang Xiaomiao coming, the pharmacy steward was a little surprised, and immediately saluted Xiaomiao and called "Hello uncle", and then introduced herself as the daughter of the new washerwoman, because she had just arrived, she came to greet the steward.

The steward was busy with the two men, and when he saw that the little girl was polite, he said casually, and took out a few mountain fruits from behind the counter that the medicine customers had brought to him yesterday. Now the fruit on the mountain has weathered the weather, and the taste is extraordinarily sweet, and the steward thinks that the children will like it.
