Chapter 23: The owner of the village helps
The Moon Festival is approaching, and the villagers of Yangjiazhai are starting to get busy.
Like the world before Yang Xu, the Moon Festival of Zhao is also called the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the date is also on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar.
In the Kingdom of Zhao, the Moon Festival is one of the most important festivals of the year.
Every night of the Moon Festival, the people of Zhao Kingdom reunite to admire the moon, burn incense to worship the moon god, and say their wishes for a year, in order to obtain the blessing of the moon god.
Since the villagers of Yangjiazhai learned to carve and weave, they have burst out with great enthusiasm.
During these days, many villagers worked day and night to make some small items and bring them to Jinyang City under the mountain to sell.
In Jinyang City, there are not no objects like bamboo weaving, but they are not as delicate and complete as those produced by Yangjiazhai.
Therefore, every time the people of Yangjiazhai bring bamboo woven objects into the city, they are the fastest and best to sell.
As for those cute cartoon wood carvings, they are very popular with children from large families in the city.
After a long time, many children in Yangcheng in Jincheng know where to sell cartoon wood carvings, so they are full of expectations, and they will pull their adults to come and go around every day.
As long as they saw the stalls set up by the villagers of Yangjiazhai, there were cartoon wood carvings that they had never owned, they pestered their adults to buy them, and if the adults did not buy them, there would be at least seven or eight out of ten children, lying on the ground and rolling around, crying and shouting, and never getting up.
Some of the children they knew were even competing with each other, shouting to see who could collect the 12 zodiac wood carvings first.
The villagers of Yangjiazhai went to Jinyang City several times before the Moon Festival, and after selling their woven and carved objects, almost every household of the villagers received some money.
Although the money is not enough, it is not enough to completely change their lives, but at least in the upcoming moon festival, they can also buy some wine and meat to have a "fat festival".
So a few days before the moon festival, the men in the village were still weaving and carving, while the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law began to get together to discuss what to let their fathers, brothers or men go into the city to buy something.
Originally, Yang Xu earned dozens of taels of silver, thinking that it would be enough to spend for a while, but now there is an extra thrush by her side, although the little girl resolutely said that as long as she is not hungry here, Yang Xu feels that she should give her some monthly money.
In Yang Xu's previous world, although there were also maid nannies who specialized in serving people, those maid nannies were all paid a lot of high wages.
And a meek, well-behaved, bright and lovely fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl like Thrush, in that world, even if you offer a high salary, she may not be willing to serve you, let alone take care of food without paying.
In fact, in the current world of respect and inferiority, it is normal for Yang Hongyu to assign a maid thrush to serve Yang Xu, and Yang Xu can accept it with peace of mind.
But Yang Xu is not a person in this world after all, the education he has received since he was a child is that everyone is equal, and he feels a little guilty in his heart to let the young thrush serve him.
But to drive the thrush back, not to mention hurting the little girl's heart, he himself is really a little reluctant.
So giving the thrush some monthly money can be regarded as a peace of mind.
As for Yang Hongyu, she has never given thrush money, it is because the Yang family village was poor before, and Yang Hongyu, as the owner of the village, is also difficult to make money.
Now that I have some spare money in hand, if I keep hiding it and refuse to take it out, I really can't say it.
So no matter what Yang Xu thought, he directly set her a monthly salary of one or two a month, don't just turn her face.
When Thrush saw Yang Xu say this, he kept a straight face, looking like he was going to be angry, so he didn't dare to object.
She also knew that Yang Xu was doing good to herself, and she was only grateful to Yang Xu in her heart.
One or two silver a month, Yang Xu felt that he couldn't do it, but for the thrush, it was already a lot.
"When I earn more money in the future, I'll give you some more money!" When I come to me, I won't treat you badly! ”
Yang Xu touched the top of the thrush's head and said with a smile.
If you want to increase the monthly money of the thrush, you can only continue to work hard to earn money.
So seeing that the other villagers were busy, Yang Xu also began to think about how to make another profit during this Moon Festival.
In Yang Xu's previous world, every holiday was the time for merchants to make money.
After dinner the next morning, Yang Xu and Thrush came to the school in the bamboo forest together.
When they arrived in front of the school, many villagers, including Yang Hongyu, were already carving and weaving with their heads bowed there, and they were busy.
They plan to make another batch of bamboo weaving and wood carvings, and bring them to Jinyang City to sell on the day of the Moon Festival, striving to make more money.
Because of the Moon Festival, the school is closed these days, so that the children can also have a good time, and Yang Xu is completely idle.
Yang Hongyu was sitting with several women in the village, holding a piece of wood in her left hand and a knife in her right hand, carving a puppy.
She lowered her eyebrows, her eyes drooped, her engrossed extremely seriously, and a cute cartoon puppy was about to take shape.
Yang Hongyu not only weaves bamboo quickly and well, but also has a super high talent in carving, anything, she only needs to watch Yang Xu demonstrate it once, and try it again, and she can carve it.
Maybe it's because the girl's mind is more delicate, Yang Hongyu not only carves much faster than Yang Xu, but also better in details, and I don't know how her hands are long.
Yang Xu thought to himself that if Yang Hongyu was in the world before him, at least in art, she would have achieved extremely high achievements.
When the villagers saw Yang Xu coming, they got up and said hello, and respectfully called "Mr. Yang".
Even Yang Hongyu stopped what she was doing, got up and nodded towards Yang Xu.
"Miss......"
Thrush walked up to Yang Hongyu and saluted, thinking that she would not be able to follow Miss to serve her in the future, her voice couldn't help but choke a little.
Yang Hongyu took the thrush's little hand and walked aside, whispering something to her, the thrush's little face was slightly red, and he nodded suddenly, and shook his head suddenly.
Yang Xu's side also chatted with several villagers.
A moment later, Yang Hongyu and Thrush returned hand in hand.
"Mr. Yang, the thrush is still young, and I am usually negligent in discipline, so don't blame me if there is any inconsiderate service...... Thrush is smart and smart, and I believe it will get better and better......"
Yang Hongyu said to Yang Xu in a solemn voice.
Thrush has followed Yang Hongyu since childhood, and although the two are master and servant, they are actually sisters.
If it weren't for the sake of leaving Yang Xu, Yang Hongyu was really reluctant to let the thrush leave from her side.
Yang Xu also said with a straight face: "Don't worry, the thrush is here with me, just like my sister, I won't treat her badly." ”
Yang Xu will not say anything more at this time, otherwise it will be hypocritical.
"Thrush, you have to take good care of Mr. Yang's daily life in the future, everything is based on Mr. Yang, don't be lazy and slippery, and delay Mr. Yang's affairs...... Remember? ”
Yang Hongyu instructed the thrush in front of Yang Xu.
Thrush understands the temper of his own young lady, who seems to be cold and silent, and has no quarrel with the world, but in fact he is cold and hot-hearted, and he is full of words.
If he neglects Mr. Yang, even if Mr. Yang doesn't say something unpleasant, his own lady is likely to punish him severely.
So for Yang Hongyu's instructions, she nodded and remembered it awe-inspiringly.
"Owner, there's something I want you to help with......
After Yang Hongyu and the thrush master and servant finished speaking, Yang Xu put up a smile on his face and said to Yang Hongyu.
