Chapter 0018 - Start a Business
Feng, Lian, and Rong were still very efficient, and that night, they sent Ping'er to Jia Min 600 taels of silver. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The notes are naturally ready, although I don't expect Jia Min to return them, but, when necessary, with the notes, it can be regarded as a constraint and balance for Jia Min.
In the face of Jia Min, an opponent, there is a little chance to save the passive situation, and they are unwilling to let it go.
Early the next morning, the first thing Wang Xifeng did was to report to Mrs. Wang that Jia Min was leaving the house. Mrs. Wang pondered for a while, and then followed Wang Xifeng to see Jia's mother.
Jia Mu was anxious about Jia Zhen's injury at this time, and she didn't investigate it in detail, and said, "Let him go." "It's a foregone conclusion.
Then Wang Xifeng went to see Jia Zheng with Jia Lian and told him about it. Jia Lian deliberately pointed out that it was Ji Mingluan's house.
Ji Mingluan, Jia Zheng naturally knew, although he felt a little strange, but when he heard that he was going there to follow Jiao Li to read and write, he thought it was a good thing, so he didn't object.
Wang Xifeng sent a small servant to Jia Minxin called Ning'er. Jia Min didn't go into detail. Knowing that they had learned this lesson, they didn't dare to think about themselves easily.
Originally, he didn't care too much if there was a little guy or not. But on second thought, there's still a good one. There will be a lot of work in the future, and it will be more convenient for the little guy to be a laborer if he has nothing to do for a day than to go out and find it.
Through these observations, he is still quite satisfied with Jiao Li.
Jiao Li is in the mansion, he does not cover his master, and he is not close to Lai Da and other housekeepers, so he can be regarded as a non-party person.
Such a person is in line with Jia Min's heart. In the future, you can train as the core personnel of your own team.
The two little maids, Fenghua and Xueyue, are indispensable. When you go out, you will inevitably be lonely, but with this master, there is no shelf, there are few rules, and you are more free and relaxed. Besides, I didn't have the final say, so I followed.
Ping'er was naturally reluctant to go, and Sister Feng personally delivered it to the door, leaving two tears, quite reluctant. It is estimated that it is generally true, half false.
When he arrived at Ji Zhai, Ji Mingluan was very happy when he saw that Jia Min's maids, long followers, small servants, clothes, tableware and other supplies were all available, and felt that this was a reliable young man.
After the things were unloaded, Jiao Li and Ning Er caught up with the carriage and went to the city to purchase grain, oil, vegetables and other items.
I ate a little indiscriminately at noon, and in the evening, I made a fairly hearty meal, which was taken care of by Xue Yue.
Ji Mingluan lives here with Nan'er, and Nan'er usually cooks, so the two families are in one place, not only to welcome Jia Min to move in, but also to make a trip for Ji Mingluan.
Taking advantage of the wine, Jia Min asked Ji Mingluan to name and inscribe his house, so that he could make a plaque to hang it in the future.
In this way, the house has a name, and it can be regarded as using the name of a university scholar to pull up a big flag as a tiger skin to scare and scare those who are young.
Ji Mingluan's table is called Yedu, and there happens to be a small river in front of the house, so he took the meaning of "Yedu unmanned boat self-traverse", named it "Yedu Ju", and wrote it down.
Ping'er, Fenghua, Xueyue, and Nan'er naturally want to live here permanently. Jiao Li and Ning Er also live here and can go home once every ten days.
Jia Min still looks like he has no heart and lungs, and he doesn't support the two maids Fenghua and Xueyue, washing his face, washing his feet, fetching water, and he does all the things that should be served by the maids.
When Ping'er saw it, she was a little unaccustomed to it. Although I still don't feel cold to Jia Min, I also feel that Fenghua and Xueyue are a little too unruly.
She is a person who keeps her duty, so she commanded Fenghua, Xueyue, and Ning'er to do this and that. A few people knew that Ping'er was a decent person in the house, and they didn't dare not listen, so they had to do whatever they were told.
In the end, even Nan'er also supported her, Nan'er was also casual, and she was happy to listen to Ping'er's command.
After eating early the next morning, Scholar Ji set off. Jia Min happened to be going to the city to do goods, so he did it all the way. After saying goodbye at the intersection of the official road on the outskirts of the city, they went their separate ways.
Jia Min led Jiao Li and Ning Er to the outside of Jia's mansion, returned the carriage brought from the mansion yesterday, and then ran to the carriage shop, bought a carriage for himself, and bought a mule in the mule and horse market, and the car was considered complete.
The first stop was to go to the ceramic shop and bought some bottles and cans, some large and some small, a total of more than 100. Wiped out all the cans in the shop. Jia Min paid the deposit again, ordered some with others, and said that he would come back to pick it up in 10 days.
The second stop is to go to the pharmacy. I bought something called unicorn vegetables, and I also emptied the inventory.
The third stop was to go to the umbrella shop. I didn't buy an umbrella, but I bought a piece of cloth for an umbrella. Then I went to the cloth shop, picked the thinnest white cloth and black cloth, and bought five horses in the same way.
Then I went to the lacquer shop, and although I didn't buy lacquer, I bought two large barrels of tung oil.
In the end, he went to the blacksmith shop again, Jia Min compared with the blacksmith, wrote and painted for a long time, asked people how to do it, how to do it, and finally threw down 2 taels of silver, saying that he would come to get it tomorrow. Then he went out of the city and returned to Nodoju.
When he came back, it was not yet time to set the meal, so Jia Min led Jiao Li, Ning'er, and Nan'er to spread out the purchased cloth in the yard and began to brush the cloth with tung oil.
Others don't know what he wants to do, and they don't say anything when they ask him, so they don't ask, they do whatever he tells him to do, and he does what he tells him to do.
Although Ping'er also felt strange, she didn't bother to ask, and was busy with herself.
When he was in the cloth shop, Jia Min bought him a lot of flower thread by the way, gave her a dreadlock, and said that he would teach her some tricks in the future.
A man, what else does he know about dreadlocks? Up and down in this house, how many of them are better than me, and they still need you to teach? If I let others know that a man taught me how to make blisters, what face would I have?
Ping'er snorted coldly in her heart, and didn't say much.
It is very hot at noon in summer, and after eating, the tung oil is dry.
Jia Min beckoned people, except for Ping'er, even Fenghua and Xueyue went. According to his request, he cut and sewed, and the oilcloth was joined and rolled into bundles. Then I took it to the garden in the backyard.
Ping'er saw that those people were busy, so she quietly went to look. I saw that these prodigal sons actually spread all the good cloth into the watermelon field, buried both sides with soil, and left only the melon seedlings outside.
When Jiao Li came out to get something, Ping'er quietly asked, how much did all those cloths and oil cost?
Jiao Li pondered for a while and said, about fifteen or sixteen taels of silver, right?
Ping'er asked again, those watermelons will be sold in the future, how much can they be sold?
Jiao Li said, it's only five or six taels of silver, right?
Oh my God, isn't that a loss?
Alas, forget it, the master has money, and he can spend it as much as he wants.
Jiao Li is gone, Ping'er is so angry in her heart.
In the end, it was the money of the second master, the second grandmother and Brother Rong that made him blackmail and cause trouble for no reason. also pretended to say that he wanted to pay back the money, what to pay? I see how you will pay back the money after a year?
Bao Erye is ridiculous enough, it's just a rouge and doesn't like to read, this one is a hundred times more ridiculous than Bao Erye. 、
Besides. Those rough jobs should be done, and people should be asked to do them. Why are you also a master, follow your subordinates in the mud and water, what kind of system, if it spreads, I am afraid that the face of the house will be lost to you.
When the group had finished laying the ground, they came back from the garden with a shout, and a few men began to dig a pit a foot away in front of the door.
Jia Min returned to the study and began to write and draw.
This is a plain area, the soil is very thick, and there are basically no stones. So, the pit was dug very quickly.
Ping'er went out and asked what he was going to do digging a pit, and Jiao Li said that he was going to dig a well.
The original Yeduju draught, you have to go to the small river in front to pick, about 100 zhang away, said near is not close, said far, not too far.
Digging a well here is a serious matter. It's just that now I don't even have a brick or stone, and when the time comes, I'm afraid I'll have to buy it now, and then find a bricklayer or something, and in a few days, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable.
When it was dark, I saw water, about one foot two or three. After digging more than three feet deep, Jia Min told him that there was no need to dig anymore. Just wait for the draught tomorrow, and you won't have to go so far to fetch water again.
The errand of carrying water, it turned out that Ping'er was assigned to Ning'er, and now that I heard that I don't need to carry water in the future, I am naturally happy.
It's just that you will be able to eat water tomorrow, but Ning'er doesn't believe it. I haven't drilled a well myself, but others have seen a well, and I am afraid that it will not be completed in three or four days.
Ping'er is very calculating, thinking that tomorrow she will find a bricklayer, when the time comes, will it be for others to eat? How many do you want to ask for? How many meals are you here? You have to be prepared in advance, when the time comes, there is no preparation on your side, which is not only a snub to others, but also seems to have no clue about what to do at home.
waited for Jia Min to give her an explanation, but people seemed to be fine. While resentful, he still went into the study and asked Jia Min.
Jia Min acted like he had nothing to do, and said that there was no need to prepare, and when the time came, he would do it himself, and it would be fine in a while.
Who will do it? Ming'er wants to see if your "for a while" is a few days or a few months.
Ping'er came out hatefully. Throughout the night, he ignored Jia Min. Even Jia Min didn't squeak when she talked to her.
Jia Min was inexplicable, and she didn't know where she offended her.
Early the next morning, Jia Min arranged for Jiao Li to be at home, go to the river to pull three carts of river pebbles back, put them by the well to prepare, and led Ning'er into the city.
After more than an hour, the hired car pulled back two iron pipes that were one zhang and five feet long, the thin one was one zhang and two feet long, one inch thick, and there were some small holes as thick as chopsticks on the head.
The long end is seven or eight inches long and more than two inches thick. There is also a pressure handle attached to it, which can be moved back and forth.
Jia Min instructed Jiao Li, Ning'er, and Nan'er to put an iron pipe in the pit and put a large stone underneath. He held on to the well, and Jiao Li, Ning'er, and Nan'er filled the pit with river pebbles. When the river pebbles are filled, the earth begins.
Ping'er saw that the pit he had dug was buried again, and knew that he was not digging a well again. With the matter of burying the cloth in the ground yesterday, she is no longer surprised by this fourth master of the loser. I just hope to get six months early and return to the house. It's better to never see this loser again, so as not to be angry.
"Ping'er, Fenghua, Xueyue, you are all out, you are about to come out of the water, please ask a few ladies to witness this historic moment. Nan'er, go back to the house and get half a bucket of water! ”
Ping'er looked out of the window and saw that the pit that had been dug with great effort yesterday had been buried again, leaving only the iron pipe standing there alone.
She didn't bother to go out.
However, Jia Min came in and pulled Ping'er out.
"Come, look at the moment when you get out of the water, you will definitely jump with joy."
For Jia Min's words, Ping'er is used to it, and it is a few new words at every turn, what a lady, historical, which makes people seem to understand it or not.
Ping'er looked at the other people, all of them looked confused.
It's just such a thing, and it can still come out of the water?
