Chapter 20: I'll Remember
But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, Yuan Dongchu can only sigh, who let her wear it for too short a time, let alone make these transitions.
When the steward heard Yuan Dongchu's words, he immediately frowned: Even in their mansion, the identity of the maids who read and read is not ordinary, and they are all extremely face-saving around the lady and the young lady.
Get off the boat and come to this crowded dock...... Even if he is in charge, it is not easy to say such things.
Yuan Dongchu saw the embarrassment of the steward, but he didn't squeak.
If it's inconvenient for the maid to get off the boat, you can find someone like Mr. Bookkeeper, and the living can still suffocate urine.
The two of them were each making their own measurements, and Gu Tiancheng had endured it for a long time, and the ...... between his eyebrows and eyes was revealed Let Yuan Dongchu describe it, it is about the joy after winning the lottery.
"Isn't there anyone who is convenient for recording recipes? I'm here, it's just a recipe for cooking, Miss Yuan, just say it, I'll remember it. Gu Tiancheng was gearing up and eager to try.
"You...... Can write? The steward was surprised.
"Isn't it?" Yuan Dongchu was skeptical.
She subconsciously glanced at the burlap that was still on Gu Tiancheng's shoulder.
In this era, there are not many people who can read and write. This kind of person has no problem at all to be a bookkeeper or something. If you can put down your worth, you can be a buddy, and your salary will be more than that of ordinary guys.
But if you are ashamed to say something and let others say it, you can write it down, which means that there is no problem with normal writing at all. With this ability, what are you doing with the coolies of this dock?
Gu Tiancheng saw that both of them looked at him and didn't answer, he was a little anxious, patted his chest and promised: "Really, don't tell you, I went to school." The employer over there has paper and ink, let's borrow it, and I'll write it to you. ”
The steward looked at Yuan Dongchu, just like this girl said, what they sell is not actually wild vegetables, but the production method of wild vegetables.
The master of his family also wanted to eat fresh, just to be able to get the next recipe smoothly, and the reward was given thirty taels of silver.
But this little brother doesn't seem to be the same as the three girls, if he writes down the content in the process of recording, the wild vegetable business of these girls will not be good.
It was Xiao Cui who spoke first: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate, right?" Don't hide from the little brother, we can sell wild vegetables, relying on exclusive wild vegetable practices. Except for the customers who buy wild vegetables, it is really difficult for others to know the key. ”
Xiuchun hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Gu Tiancheng had a straight face: "I am familiar with Gongzi Qin, and I am also an old acquaintance with the three girls, this is a special help, and I will never covet your benefits." If I am a villain who forgets his righteousness, will my brothers be willing to follow me? ”
Familiar with Qin Gongzi? It's called acquaintance if you've only met once? Xiuchun and Xiaocui looked at each other sideways. Moreover, he sneered at his "old knowledge" statement.
"Can you really write? I've got a lot to say. Yuan Dongchu said.
This Gu Tiancheng, she decided to give it a try.
Selling wild vegetables is not a long-term solution after all, and in a short period of time, passing passenger ships will leave after buying her wild vegetable practice, and the wild vegetable practice can be regarded as an exclusive transaction.
But the powerful families who bought wild vegetable recipes didn't have much sense of secrecy. For people, wild vegetables are just a new taste, and people don't want to make money from this, maybe they will share it with their good mansions.
It won't be long before the way of eating wild vegetables will spread among the powerful. At that time, the demand of the rich for wild vegetables is only daily purchase, where will there be any reward?
Gu Tiancheng is a potential stock for Yuan Dongchu.
This person can gather a group of people at a young age to do work on the river, and it seems that he is not afraid of the power of the dock. If this person's character is passable, he can become a partner in Yuan Dongchu's planned river transportation business.
Using a small business that has not been done for a long time, to try Gu Tiancheng's character, Yuan Dongchu feels that it is worth it.
After listening to Yuan Dongchu's question, Gu Tiancheng was already rolling up his sleeves: "Of course I can write, I will see the real chapter soon, can this still be nonsense?" ”
"Then let's try it." Seeing that Yuan Dongchu did not object, the steward waved his hand to let the mother-in-law who followed him go back, so he beckoned Gu Tiancheng and walked to the other side of the dock.
Yuan Dongchu and the three followed.
Xiuchun had already separated the three ingots of silver in the basket and put them on her and Xiaocui respectively. At this time, he followed Yuan Dongchu's footsteps, while anxiously pulling Yuan Dongchu's sleeves, and couldn't help but express his concern about this matter with his eyes.
What a profitable business, just let such a person who has only met once and doesn't know each other remember their wild vegetable recipes? If this person is greedy, what can he do with this business in the future?
Yuan Dongchu patted the back of her hand soothingly, but didn't say much.
But with just one action, Xiuchun's originally anxious minds suddenly calmed down.
During this time, they traveled from wharf to wharf to earn silver. Although those places are not like here in Shuitang Town, where you will encounter wicked people who take and rob by force, the stewards and mothers-in-law who come into contact are also different, and Yuan Dongchu can handle them properly every time.
In the past month, each of them has received twelve taels of silver, not counting the scattered copper coins used to sell vegetables.
If it weren't for Yuan Dongchu's ability to handle it properly every time, if they were allowed to do this business, even if they had wild vegetable recipes, they would not be able to earn such income.
Yuan Dongchu's action of patting Xiuchun's hand just now was simple, but the message conveyed was very certain: she was sure.
Therefore, the two of them believe that Yuan Dongchu can handle this matter well.
Taking a step back, even if they don't handle it well, they have already made a lot of money from the wild vegetable business, which is equivalent to the silver that the whole family has saved for two or three years.
With his own ability, earning such a sum of money for his family, for a girl from a poor family, is something that she can't dream of at all, what is there not to be satisfied with?
To be honest, these days, they feel like they are living in a dream, beautiful and unreal.
Of course, the employer who received the goods at the dock had a pen and paper, and the steward of the passenger ship came forward, so there was no need to waste his tongue, Gu Tiancheng was already sitting at a simple wooden table, lifted the pen in a similar manner, dipped it in ready-made ink, and looked at Yuan Dongchu.
Yuan Dongchu first said humbly to the steward: "I just want to talk about a few recipes here, you can take it back and try it, if there is anything that is not in your taste, I hope you don't mind." ”
Of course, the steward won't mind, looking at Yuan Dongchu like this, he plans to say a lot of wild vegetable recipes. As long as three or so of them can handle it, he will be considered successful in this errand.
Yuan Dongchu's dictation began: "Shepherd's cabbage and shutters are wrapped ......"
Gu Tiancheng really didn't talk nonsense, although he didn't move his pen like flying, but Yuan Dongchu's intermittent dictation that he deliberately slowed down, he recorded it word for word.
What's even more rare is that the handwriting is quite correct, which really surprised Yuan Dongchu.
At the same time, she is even more strange: with this kind of ability, there is really no need to sell coolies on the docks, what's the matter with this guy?
