Chapter 22 I have people to take care of you
Yuan Dongchu remained calm, trying to ignore the speculation about Gu Tiancheng's intentions.
But Gu Tiancheng still didn't stop, and continued: "The three of you just don't worry, Uncle Yuan is not an outsider, you just treat me as your own......"
In the face of this kind of cheekiness, Yuan Dongchu didn't want to say anything.
I just silently listened to him continue: "...... And Brother Qin, we are very close," he glanced at Yuan Dongchu's disapproving and explained very seriously, "On two occasions when he bought food for his family, I beckoned a few people to help him get on the boat, and then he would be familiar when he met again." ”
"Oh." Yuan Dongchu felt sorry for Qin Xiangru, Qin Xiangru was not afraid of being sold by the surname Gu, amazing.
Gu Tiancheng lowered his voice slightly, and continued to break the news: "Brother Qin discussed with me a few days ago and wanted to do things with us......
"What?" Yuan Dongchu had to look at Gu Tiancheng, and Qin Xiangru wanted to come to the dock to carry the bag? He is also the same as Gu Tiancheng, his brain is pumped?
Gu Tiancheng finally attracted the girl's attention, and hurriedly explained: "It's just that he didn't tell his family that he made a decision in private." The old man of his family was a senior official, and he was really not sure what his attitude was towards his son's wandering docks, so I didn't agree. ”
Yuan Dongchu nodded, and found another advantage of Gu Tiancheng: he was thoughtful and cautious.
But he still couldn't stop Yuan Dongchu's surprise: "But, Gongzi Qin grew up in a big mansion, what can he do with you?" ”
"He saw that there were a lot of people here, and it was very troublesome and delayed for everyone to count the work every day, and he said that he could help me count and keep accounts. He said that he would try for a while, and if we really needed him, he would continue to do it, and the wages would be according to the per capita income of our coolies. If it doesn't help much, it doesn't matter if he has a salary or not, just when he has something to do every day, the province is idle every day and wastes his time. ”
Do you work as a day job? Yuan Dongchu shook his head secretly.
How can it be so easy to make a living on the dock and among a group of rough people? This Qin Xiangru can, I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Gu Tiancheng poured into him, he can take the initiative to sell himself, and then count the money to Gu Tiancheng.
Fortunately, Gu Tiancheng was not too dark, so he didn't pit him to death.
As he spoke, several strong men who had just unloaded their sacks walked by, and one by one, they all grinned at them, as if they were expressing some kind of kindness, but they were glared back fiercely by Gu Tiancheng.
The young man named Xiaoman hid behind a few strong men, and also probed them with a smile: "Brother Tiancheng, although you are busy with you, we will help you do your share, and we will not delay Brother Tiancheng's affairs." ”
"Yes, it's okay, Tiancheng, you can be busy with your own ......" Several people walked in front of Gu Tiancheng and Yuan Dongchu with a smile and headed towards the cargo ship, not looking frightened by Gu Tiancheng's fierce eyes.
Watching his brother walk away, Gu Tiancheng turned around and explained to Yuan Dongchu and the others: "They are brothers who do things with me, and they are all very good. I'll tell them that as long as there are our people at the nearby dock, they will definitely take care of the three of you, and no one will dare to bully you. ”
…………
When she went home that day, the three of them quietly divided the money, Yuan Dongchu didn't go out again, and did housework at home as usual, and the affairs of Shuitang Town didn't cause her much trouble.
The wild vegetable business has not been done for a long time, and Shuitang Town is just an ordinary town, and it will not be much of a loss to them to stop a large passenger ship once in ten years and nine times, and to remove Shuitang Town from the scope of the wild vegetable business.
When the sun set in the west and Yuan Changhe came back, Yuan Dongchu had already made dinner.
Her family also ate boiled small fish paste cakes today, and fried water spinach.
Yuan Changhe entered the door, dusted off his clothes, washed his hands, and drank a large bowl of water before helping Yuan Dongchu bring the meal to the table.
After sitting down, the first thing to ask was: "How is this trip to Shuitang Town?" ”
Every time I go out to sell wild vegetables, it is safe and smooth. Yuan Dongchu always gave him reassurance, but Yuan Changhe would ask the same question every time.
Yuan Dongchu put the water spinach on the old dining table, which was already a little mottled, sat opposite Yuan Changhe, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, this family is very atmospheric, just tried the purslane, and took out thirty taels of silver." I was also very honest and told them a few more ways to make wild vegetables. ”
Although Yuan Dongchu used these methods to earn back a lot of silver, Yuan Changhe still couldn't treat it calmly, and used wild vegetables to harm the best meat, eggs, chickens, ducks, and even valuable supplements.
"Yes, it's all good things...... Yuan Changhe sighed at the burial of the best ingredients, and then sighed to himself, "According to your money-making method, Dad, a Chinese person, doesn't earn as much as your fraction." ”
Before, his daughter also earned thirty taels of silver once, and that time shocked him enough. It's only been a few days, and it's such a big sum of money? His daughter, this is the right thing to do with the rich people, right?
Actually, strictly speaking, that's really the case.
What era did Yuan Dong grow up in? It was a time when there was no need to worry about having a full stomach at all. The people around me are all thinking about it: What are we going to eat today? Where are the new delicacies coming out? Is there a way to eat the original food?
"It's alright." Yuan Dongchu smiled and put a small fish in his bowl.
Not to mention, this small fish tastes excellent, and it is delicious and unusually delicious without any extra condiments.
"What do you mean it's okay?" Yuan Changhe smiled, although his sigh was a little sour, but as a daughter, it's not good to be so perfunctory to her father?
The largest small fish was placed in his bowl, and Yuan Dongchu raised his eyes and said in a relaxed tone: "We had an incident today." When the steward of the passenger ship went back to try the wild vegetables, two people on the dock came to us to provoke. I originally thought that someone would come back from the passenger ship to relieve the siege, but it turned out that there was a person on the dock who was carrying a job, named Gu Tiancheng, who came up and said a few words, and scared the two people away. He said he knew you, do you know this man? ”
Yuan Changhe was holding water spinach with chopsticks, and when he heard this, he stopped, frowned and said, "How can this be?" Supposedly, if you sell snacks on the dock and hand over two copper plates, how can anyone trouble you? They didn't do anything, did they? ”
only paused, the worry in his heart was even worse, and without waiting for Yuan Dongchu to answer, he continued: "In the future, there will be another passenger ship on the dock, Dad will come back and send you over, you girls' family, in case you encounter bad people, there is no one to stand up for you." ”
"No," Yuan Dongchu said busily, "It's just selling wild vegetables, so it's not easy for the three of us girls to come forward, and it's easier to earn rewards." An adult man like you goes to sell wild vegetables? Naturally, a good impression is missing. ”
The main thing is that her father is going to do big things in the future, carrying a basket of wild vegetables to sell, what is that called? Speaking of the rich Yuan Changhe in the future, this period is black history.
Yuan Changhe was still frowning, and his face was full of worry.
Yuan Dongchu had to continue: "Originally, it would be fine, the customers who sell wild vegetables are all people with status, and they are arrogant, how can they allow the villains to step on their faces?" You can rest assured, we don't go anywhere else, we just stay by the river to sell wild vegetables, wait for the boat, and nothing will happen in front of everyone's eyes. ”
The reason is so, so Yuan Changhe just said hello to the familiar ferryman before, and he was relieved to let the three of them go to various towns to do things.
But now it seems that there is that kind of blind fool who can't keep it even.
Today's thing is like this, if the customer who bought the wild vegetables comes forward late, the girl's family will be pulled by others and suffer, even if the villain is corrected on the spot afterwards, it will not be able to change the name of his daughter.
My own good daughter, I don't dare to try my luck with this kind of thing.
