In everyone's longing, Xiao Cuiniang took out a lotus leaf bag from the basket she was carrying and stuffed it into Yuan Dongchu's hand.

"At the beginning of winter, these days are hard, right? This is the cake that my aunt baked in the morning, and it is still soft. You take it, find a place to rest for a while, and pad it first. ”

As for the pancakes, ordinary people can't eat pancakes twice a year, how can Yuan Dongchu accept it calmly, and hurriedly refused.

But it was difficult to resist the hospitality, and then Xiaocui helped her, so she had to thank you and take it.

Looking at the size of the lotus leaf bun, the amount of cake should be very limited, one? Or two?

If you want to make the pancakes delicious, you have to use wheat flour to make them.

However, this is also due to her, Xiaocui and Xiuchun selling wild vegetables for several months. Otherwise, even if the poor are willing, they are afraid that they do not have flour at home.

When Xiu Chunniang saw this situation, she immediately became anxious.

Why didn't she think of bringing some food for the beginning of winter? At this juncture, you can't let Dong Chu have an opinion about her family.

"At the beginning of winter, go, go home. You and your dad are both busy, hard work, and you have to cook your own meals when you get home. Let's go, go to my aunt's house, and my aunt will make you fried eggs and green vegetable noodles. Xiuchunniang couldn't help but say, she was going to pull Yuan Dongchu away.

Yuan Dongchu was coldly held by the hand, and hurriedly stood still, "Auntie, don't be busy, you don't have time." ”

"Yes, I have time, my aunt cooks well." Xiuchun Niang continued.

Yuan Dongchu couldn't cry or laugh, and explained in a loud voice: "The fleet will replenish some items, and the ship will leave in a while." I still have to go with the boat, but I don't have time to get back to our town to eat. ”

"Still leaving?" Xiuchunniang stopped, "Why do you still want to leave?" There's still a long way to go for the ship's cargo, right? There are your father and the little brother of the Gu family, you are a girl's house, we won't go. Before your father came back, your aunt asked Xiuchun and her sister-in-law to go to your house to accompany you. ”

Xiao Cui Niang also said: "What Xiu Chunniang said is that the boaters are rough men, you are young, and you are a girl's house, can you not go or not." ”

Xiuchun Niang was satisfied with Xiao Cuiniang's help and said peace, and nodded again and again.

Facing the eyes of worry or expectation, Yuan Dongchu had to explain: "This is really not good, there are not only goods that need to be transported on the ship, but also some letters and packages that need to be delivered along the way." I'm doing this, even if I have Big Brother Gu and my dad to help, but they also have something to do, and I can't leave it alone. ”

"Delivery?"

"Letters and packages?"

"What, that sounds like a lot?"

"Delivering something? If you drop by, you can take one and a half pieces. Help people bring a lot of things, how can you do this kind of thing at the beginning of winter? ”

Talking nonsense, everyone in the neighborhood is kind enough to express their opinions.

Yuan Dongchu was speechless.

What do these people think? Is she that idle?

Besides, even if she is really nervous to be so idle, she has to know those many people in advance, and people have to believe her and dare to give her so many things.

Xiuchun saw a little bit of fame and asked, "Dong Chu, you just said that you are doing this. Delivery is to help people deliver things, right? This is going to make money, and it's a long-term livelihood, right? ”

"That's right." Yuan Dongchu was pleased, who said that Xiuchun was arrogant? People are thick and fine.

"Our name is Chengyun Delivery, and the letter bureau that has been filed in Tongzhou Yamen is a partnership business, and the other party is Hongjiang Shipyard......" Yuan Dongchu explained further.

The purpose of her detailed explanation, one is to explain things clearly, so as not to make it unpleasant for a girl's family to mingle with a bunch of rough men.

Another one, Xiuchun Xiaocui and her sell wild vegetables together, and after a few months, the character of the two little girls is really good and very reliable.

If the two of them have the heart to come out and do things, deliver in this industry, sort and distribute these, they can do it. If you can avoid the constraints imposed on women in ancient times, you can become a supervisor in the future.

Xiuchun and Yuan Dongchu did things together in vain, and in Yuan Dongchu's narration, they accurately grasped the key.

Xiuchun's mouth was fast, and before Yuan Dongchu's voice was settled, she chased after her and asked, "Letter Bureau?" It's just to help people deliver letters and parcels, right? Me and Xiaocui are okay, we still follow the beginning of winter, can you? ”

"We're going to do a good job." Xiao Cui followed.

Xiuchun's father and mother are also bright-eyed. What kind of business name is this delivered, it is actually recorded in the Yamen of Tongzhou Mansion, that is the business of Tongzhou Mansion, the business of big places.

There is also cooperation, which is Hongjiang Shipyard. Tongzhou builds a big ship, with the help of big tycoons and big dealers, and this letter bureau must continue to do it, and it must be very reliable.

Xiuchun's father couldn't stop giving the child's mother a look, and Xiuchunniang said busily: "This job, Xiuchun's second brother can also do it, and my little boy is so clever, it's no problem to send a letter and a package or something." At the beginning of winter, we are all honest people, and we know the roots, and we will do a good job at the beginning of winter, so as not to embarrass you at the beginning of winter. ”

Xiao Cuiniang's eyes were full of expectation, her kid was the same age as the Xiuchun brothers, and he was a little younger, but the packages and letters were light objects, so it would work, right?

What Yuan Dongchu wanted was this effect, using people he trusted to get the delivery outlets of his own one-acre and three-third of land. After the trial implementation, the established experience will be rolled out to the outside world.

"If you can do it, of course it's better to use your own people," Yuan Dongchu smiled, and in the unanimous statement of everyone, he pulled out a few pages from his sleeve and unfolded.

"Parcels and letters received by the letter bureau should indicate the place of delivery and the name of the recipient. If you want to do this job, you must at least recognize the words streets, roads, and names of people within your delivery area. Yuan Dongchu smiled and looked at the people who were full of expectations.

As a result, the light flashing in the eyes of Xiuchun and Xiaocui's family members was instantly extinguished: it turns out that you still have to know how to read......

Fortunately, there are Xiuchun and Xiaocui, the two of them have the experience of selling wild vegetables with Yuan Dongchu, looking at Yuan Dongchu's smiling expression, they instinctively feel that Yuan Dongchu, who showed such a smile, could not be to hit them.

"Sister Dong Chu, do you recognize the words and names of people on the streets, alleys, roads, and people? Do you think we can remember? Xiaocui asked.

"It's quite easy," Yuan Dongchu nodded with a smile, these two little girls really didn't disappoint her, "As long as you can read the corresponding words a few times, a dozen times every day in the order of memory, it won't take long for you to recognize them all." ”

"That's it, we did it, we will definitely be able to do it well." Xiuchun neatly took a few pages from Yuan Dongchu's hand, and firmly expressed his trust in Yuan Dongchu.

Xiaocui didn't ask for her father's opinion, her eyes looked at the paper in Xiuchun's hand, and nodded again and again to express her attitude.

On that paper, there are not only words, but each line has a simple pattern at the beginning.

“…… This one...... It's literacy, it's not that simple, right? Xiuchun's father didn't even care about avoiding suspicion, and said very suspiciously.

Literacy and hyphenation, that is a need for high discipline cultivation, go to the school, and be taught by a good student to learn. If it were that simple, would the reader be so admired?

"Let Xiuchun and Xiaocui try it first, I'm sure they can." Yuan Dongchu's smile did not decrease, very gentle and confident, "Let's go, go under that shed, I'll tell you which streets are here, there are pattern hints in front, it's easy to remember......"
