Chapter 26: Returning Home (Asking for Recommendations, Asking for Collections)
"Xiaozhu and I slept in the car, just looking at the luggage, Moxiang accompanied Miss, I looked at the room, it was very clean." Before getting out of the car, Qing Niang threw the important burden into the space, and the rest was not afraid to steal!
"Lock the carriage, you go to the room together, freshen up, and let's have another meal."
Although Liu Song was not very relieved, but looking at the resolute appearance of the young lady, he had no choice but to follow, thinking that he would come back quickly after eating, it would not be dark yet, and it was estimated that it would be fine.
They didn't expect that in addition to the inn, there was also a snack bar in this village, all of which were at the entrance of the village, and there were really a lot of people eating at this time, so they went to a noodle shop.
Two pieces of somen noodles and one bowl, and three pieces of meat noodles. As soon as Liu Song said that he wanted three bowls of vegetarian, Qing Niang interrupted him and asked for four bowls of meat. How can you go out and not eat well?
When the noodle bowl came up, they knew that what they were selling was really not expensive, and they slowly piled up the four big bowls.
She and Mo Xiang picked out some respectively, and then buried themselves in the bitter eating, originally planned to sell ginseng, and eat a big meal in Fucheng, who knew that the plan did not change quickly, and came out in such a hurry, only eating steamed buns on the way.
"This noodle is so delicious, better than my mother's cooking." The pillar was satisfied, and there was not much left in his bowl, so he raised his head and began to speak.
"If it's enough, if it's not enough, call it for two nights, and I'll be able to go tomorrow when I'm full."
Xiaozhu glanced at Liu Song, and hurriedly said that it was enough, and Qing Niang directly called the boss and asked him to add two more bowls. Now I have a huge amount of money in my pocket, so it's not difficult to eat noodles.
"Hey, I didn't accomplish anything in Fucheng this time, and I should be reprimanded when I go back to the owner."
"Who made us unlucky, and I don't know if those strongmen were caught? Alas, it has only been peaceful for three years, and I heard that the prince is injured! ”
There was a discussion between two men next door, and Qing Niang stretched out her ears. Isn't Lord Ding in the capital? How could it be hurt? If this news spreads to the Northern Desert, I am afraid that there will be no peace here. Just thought of this,
The topic next door turned to business again, and Qing Niang lost interest in listening again. After eating, Liu Song returned to the ox cart with Xiaozhu.
This night, after thinking about it, the snack bar is going to be opened, but how to open it? There is money to dig the wells in the field, and having a well not only saves labor, but also increases production. In the end, I was still tired, and I fell asleep thinking about it, until the sky was bright, and I asked Moxiang in a daze:
"What time is it? Why is it so noisy outside? ”
"It's over, and the people outside are packing up and ready to go."
"It's so early, then let's get up too, it's cooler to leave early." Mo Xiang smiled when she heard this, and wiped her face with a muslin cloth.
The two packed up and went downstairs, Liu Song was checking out, it turned out that people were waiting here early in the morning, and Mo Xiang had already said hello.
This walk, there was no stopping, in the middle of the tea liao hit the point, all the way back home. From a distance, I saw my grandmother sitting in front of the hut, looking at the intersection, how uneasy it was.
"Mother, why don't you wait in the house on such a hot day?" Liu Song felt very sorry for her, and Mama rushed over, helped Qingniang get off the ox cart, and complained:
"Suffer it, do you have to go with it, is it a terrible road?"
"Mama, my body is about to fall apart, I want to go back to lie down, ouch." This coquettish, Mama and Shuxiang also carried her one by one, and went straight to the backyard, and the lady of the Li family hurriedly helped Moxiang pack her luggage.
As soon as she returned to the inner courtyard, Qing Niang told Mama that they had a huge amount of money. Although she knew that this ginseng was very valuable, she didn't expect it to be so valuable, and she was both happy and annoyed at the moment.
"If it was a dowry, it would be so decent, hey, it's gone!"
Qing Niang wanted to say that she still had a lot of space, but she couldn't say anything about the secret clothes in Jinyi, so she hurriedly changed the topic, and while changing her clothes, she said to her:
"There are so many people in our house, and there are only 50 acres of land, even if we go to work part-time in the slack time, we can't earn a few. I'm going to open a snack bar in town, so they have something to do and money to live on. ”
Mama was stunned for a moment, opened a snack bar, she also thought about it, after all, so many people came to her own family, and they took away the food of the Li family, so there must be a way to make a living.
But who goes? If she goes to the store, what will the girl do, the lady of the Li family is a sick man, and she will definitely not be able to do it.
"This shop let Komatsu take the lead, Bofu can't come forward, I told Moxiang that she is willing to go."
"What about the Li family? There are so many people here, otherwise, all the food will be given to the Li family, and the snack bar will definitely earn enough to eat. ”
"Mama, since I said that it is divided, it is to treat them equally. We live under one roof and can't divide each other anymore, so the food is divided equally, and the snack bar is the same. ”
"The girl is thoughtful, I want to be left, but the lady of the Li family is definitely not good, her body is still weak."
"Let Xiaozhu and Erzhu go, it's not coolies to run a hall, especially Xiaozhu, he is young, he is smart, and he is very good at greeting customers, and Moxiang in the back kitchen is afraid that he can't be busy, otherwise, just go and help her, or scholarly."
"No, I can't leave the girl and let Xiao Yezi go. She's not too young anymore, and she has no problem doing kitchen work. ”
"Mama, you're too ruthless, besides, I have something to do at home, and she can help me."
Seeing that Qingniang was angry, Mama sneered, but she still didn't spit out and agreed.
"They're all gone, who's going to do the needlework in this room? Originally, there were only two maids waiting, and the girl had already been wronged, "This is going to leave, she must not agree."
The next day, they discussed the matter together, but Komatsu told them: There are enough people for four people, and the preparations are all before the door opens, and he can also go into the kitchen to help, at least with each other. What's more, there are two pillars and small columns.
Hearing this news, the happiest person is Erzhu, he has not been taken seriously at home, he is not as strong as his eldest brother, and he is not as clever as his younger brother, and he is a little transparent existence, this time let him go to the town with him, and the joy in his heart is almost bursting.
"I can go into the kitchen, my mother used to be in poor health, and I cook at home all the time."
It seems that this is a baby with a foundation, and it will be decided right now, from this day on, Mo Xiang and Erzhu will make wontons and buns for everyone every day, Liu Song will go to the town to find a house, and things will be prepared separately.
"Uncle Li, we have money this time, I said before that we want to dig a well, you discuss it with Uncle Liu, see how much needs to be drilled in the field, and where is it?"
"Miss, do you really want to dig a well? In fact, now we have a lot of family, if there is a drought, you can pick it up. ”
"There are more people, but there are more things to do, I have decided, dig a well! Don't think about money. ”
When it was over, he said to his grandmother: "We still have beans in the warehouse, weigh ten catties out, I want to try to make a meal, if it is done, we have another way to make money." ”
