Chapter 408: Goldfish Alley
Yi An heard Qingshu tell her that she had to hire another person, and said with some embarrassment: "Qingshu, no need, you have to hire someone in your shop!" ”
Without waiting for Qingshu to speak, Yi An said: "Last time, my mother scolded me so much that I was bloody. Qingshu, it's my fault, it's my inconsiderateness. ”
These wounded soldiers were either missing arms and legs or had other injuries, and it was too difficult for them to find a job outside. So when I heard that Qingshu invited people, and did light work, I couldn't help but speak.
Qingshu smiled and said, "Yi'an, you're thinking too much. Uncle Niu's chickens and ducks were killed very well, and the meat was also handled very cleanly. Although Uncle Miao only has one arm, he chops firewood quickly and well, and the firewood in the shop is not used up. ”
Like Wen San, although he only has one arm, it is not difficult for him to chop wood with great strength. Carrying water is not a difficult task for him.
"Really?"
Qingshu smiled and said, "What did I lie to you about?" The shop has to add a lot of people to bring in, but it is better to be a woman, and the chicken and duck dishes are still made cleaner by women. ”
Chickens, ducks and geese need to be plucked, and men generally don't have that much patience.
"Not reluctantly?"
Qingshu shook his head and said, "Not reluctantly, but the woman's words are only two taels of silver per month." ”
The wife she hired was also two taels of silver, and she had to treat everyone equally if she did the same thing.
Yi An said with a smile: "I will eat and shelter and give clothes, and the salary of two taels of silver is already very good." ”
"Yi'an, how many wounded soldiers like Uncle Niu and Uncle Wen are there in your Zhuangzi?"
Yi An smiled bitterly: "There are more than 2,000 people, and there are only more than 500 people in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, and the others are placed in other places?" ”
"Are they all raised by your national mansion?"
If this is the case, the burden of the town's government is also quite heavy, and just eating is a big expense.
Yi An shook his head and said, "We didn't raise them either, and the imperial court gave them fields to cultivate." Most of the people can support themselves, and only a small number of people who are not in good health and can't farm land will we subsidize them. Like Niu Er and Wen Shan, they can work in the fields, but because they are disabled, farming is very difficult, so they are tired and tired, and they can only barely fill their stomachs. ”
Qingshu said: "I have a Zhuangzi sitting on the outskirts, and the Zhuangzi has a mountain forest. I'm trying to hire people to plant trees in the mountains, I wonder if they want to do it? ”
The soil of the mountain is not suitable for planting fruit trees, so Qingshu plans to plant pine and cypress trees.
These trees grow slowly, taking years to cut down and sell for money, but Qingshu is not in a hurry to use the money.
Yi An said with a smile: "I must be willing, but I don't know how many people are needed?" ”
Qingshu didn't say much, and said with a smile: "I have to go to school and don't have time to care, so I have to take care of the matter of clearing the wasteland and planting trees." As for how much labor money is required, I don't care about it. ”
Yi An didn't understand any of this, and said, "I'll go home and talk to my mother, and I'll give you an answer in two days." ”
"Okay."
That night, Jiang Fangfei looked for Qingshu: "Girl, I haven't had anything to do lately, I want to go to the shop on Ping'an Street to help." ”
Qingshu picks up and drops off with Uncle Zhong, and he doesn't need him. And the people in the house, from Aunt Xiang to Cai Meng, were so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, and Jiang Fangfei looked like he wanted to help Aunt Xiang but was not allowed.
His daughter-in-law is there in the shop on Ping'an Street, and others will not stop him from helping in the past.
Qing Shuwaner: "Wouldn't it be overkill to let you go to the shop to help!" ”
Jiang Fangfei said with a smile: "Isn't there nothing to do now?" Idle is idle anyway. ”
Since arriving in the capital, Jiang Fangfei has helped her do many things. He wouldn't ask anything no matter what, which made Qingshu very satisfied.
"There's something for you to do."
Jiang Fangfei's spirit was shocked: "What's the matter, girl, you say." ”
Qing Shu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at him like this: "Goldfish Hutong, surnamed Cai, lives in a house in Sanjin." Escort Jiang, you will find out the people who meet these three conditions, and then check their details. ”
"Don't have a specific name?"
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No." However, in Goldfish Alley, there should not be many people with the same surname who live in Sanjin House. ”
He had done a few things before, so Jiang Fangfei was also used to it: "Okay, I'll inquire tomorrow." ”
As for Qingshu wanting to find out what this person did, he didn't ask, anyway, he naturally knew when he should know. If you don't let you know, he won't ask. Generally, those who are too curious will not live long.
After a few days, Wu Yi'an and Qingshu said: "Qingshu, don't you want to take care of them before you want to open up the wasteland and plant trees?" Qingshu, you don't need this. ”
She listened to her mother's words and knew that Qingshu was talking about a barren mountain of hundreds of acres, and if you want to plant trees, you have to open up the wasteland first. That's a lot of money, and it takes months to complete.
"No, planting trees was an idea I had last year. It's just that I just arrived in the capital and I don't know the place well and have no backing, so I don't dare to find someone to do it casually for fear of being deceived. ”
Although Mrs. Zong said that she could go to her if she had something, Qingshu was unwilling to owe favor for this little thing.
Speaking of this, Qingshu and Wu Yi'an said: "Yi'an, since I am the person you recommended, I don't worry about them coaxing me." ”
Wu Yi'an smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll ask Uncle Mao to wait at your house in the afternoon." After school, you tell him about the bunga. ”
"Okay."
After the two finished talking, Feng Xiaoyu looked at Qingshu and asked, "Qingshu, do you still have Zhuangzi in the suburbs?" ”
Seeing Qingshu nodded, Feng Xiaoyu opened her hands and hugged her: "Qingshu, tell me what else you have, is there another mountain of gold and silver?" ”
Qingshu nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I still have a gold mountain, and I will take you to dig it after school." ”
Wu Yi'an laughed: "Okay, I'll ask Mo Xue and the others to prepare a few hoes and baskets." Wait, let's go back with a load of gold. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
After the trouble, Zhu Huanxi also asked curiously: "Qingshu, how far is your Zhuangzi from the capital?" ”
"It'll be there in an hour and a half."
Zhu Huanxi was very surprised: "It's very close to the capital, this Zhuangzi is not easy to sell, how did you buy it?" ”
Qingshu didn't hide it from everyone, and said: "When I was in Jiangnan, the imperial merchant Luo family saw that I had unlimited potential, so he said that he would give me a Zhuangzi. I couldn't shirk it, so I bought it for money. ”
Wu Yi'an snorted and said: "Fortunately, you gave the money, if you accept it like this, they will ask you to return it ten times and a hundred times in the future." ”
Gongsun Yingxue said: "Qingshu, you shouldn't accept this Zhuangzi." ”
Feng Xiaoyu and Xia Lan and several others all had the same idea.
Qingshu shook his head and said, "They are willing to give me Zhuangzi, that is to look up to me." If I don't accept it, wouldn't it be too ignorant to lift up? I don't have any backers in Jinling, and if they are embarrassed, I will be the one who suffers. ”
Thinking about Qingshu's background, it's hard for everyone to say anything.
