Chapter Ninety-Two: Collecting Goat's Milk
Chungui took the time to run ahead, thinking that people should be gone at noon, but I didn't expect that there were three tables sitting underneath, and there were two tables upstairs with the appearance of teenagers gathering to paint fans, looking full of interest.
In this situation, how can you be willing to go!
She smiled and knocked on the fence at the staircase: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost noon, why don't you go home for dinner?" ”
This question was louder, causing familiar faces on the first floor to ask with a smile: "Yue Niangzi, shouldn't you welcome customers when you open a new shop, why are you still rushing customers!" ”
Chungui was helpless for a while: "Isn't this someone from the family?"
"You can't finish it, it's the county school today, and the news of your second floor has already been released, and I guess there will be more in the afternoon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the few upstairs also opened their mouths.
"Boss, you go to dinner, let's paint for a while!"
"Yes, boss, don't worry, this silver money has already been handed over to Sister-in-law Cai below, let's clean up this table after we finish painting!"
It's not just not leaving, it's also going to be self-sufficient.
I don't know if I should be happy or helpless.
The few people at the bottom are the same, lunch has already been eaten, and they came to have a bowl of afternoon tea after listening to the news.
A plate of fried sweet potato balls on the table, a bowl of double-skin milk, and a bowl of goat's milk taro for one person, a few people gossiping so comfortably.
Chun Gui could only give up, and ran to the shop to call Cai's who was washing the dishes, and Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law who was counting the inventory.
"Sister Cai, sister-in-law, you two have worked hard today, the meal is ready, hurry up and eat first."
She looked around and wondered, "What about Big Brother Li?" ”
Cai's "hi" said: "There is a broken planer in his toolbox, and the signboard at the top of the staircase is not slippery enough to the touch, so he plans to buy a handful and grind it!" ”
Chungui said with a smile: "What's so tight about this signboard, the guests will never touch it." ”
"I said the same, but he wouldn't listen." Cai Shi washed his hands and stood up and said helplessly: "He, he always feels that he can't live with you." ”
"This is a shop and a house, you owe Miss Guo a lot of debts, not to mention that you are stunned to bear it alone, to be honest, not only him, but I am also uncomfortable in my heart."
Seeing that she was also fascinated by the more she talked, Chun Gui hurriedly stopped the person: "Talking nonsense again, grandparents and aunts are here today, let's talk at the dinner table." ”
As he spoke, he said to Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law: "Sister-in-law, hurry up, eat first!" ”
Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law became more and more excited, and after answering, she also followed.
The daughter-in-law in the house has already put out a dry dish, this time by firing porcelain bowls for the shop, she also changed the home, and now all the paintings she painted by herself, Chu Yi Chu Er and personally fired porcelain bowls.
The porcelain bowls are all white dots, the plates are verdant, and the tea bowls are dark green.
Zhixing swept to the table, and sure enough, there was the sour radish and duck soup he wanted, in addition to this bowl, there were more dumplings that Qi You liked, and it was still mutton stuffing when you smelled it, and there was also braised pork that Zhiping loved to eat, Min Min had an uncomfortable throat recently, a big bowl of pear soup, vegetarian cold salad was placed in the position where she sat on weekdays, and a few home-cooked side dishes that Lizheng Niangzi was good at were steaming.
The table is a large square table that can seat more than a dozen people.
Rao is such a big table is also full, and Daddy Li can be preached: "How can it be so rich, this day hasn't come out yet, and we are not outsiders........"
"Okay, Grandpa Li, you still have Qi You Zhixing, but it's the first time you've eaten here, and it's the first day the shop opens, so it's a celebration!" Chungui hurriedly intercepted the conversation and coaxed the old man.
When Li Zhicun came back with the newly bought planer, the table was full of people and sat down, and Father Li had no choice but to shut up.
"Grandpa Li, you haven't seen that there are too many people coming and going in the shop this morning! Everyone has to call a bowl of goat milk taro, and the taro balls are even more called a serving, and in just one morning, two buckets of goat milk were sold short! ”
Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law was busy all morning, and she didn't get tired at all, as if she wanted to tell everyone everything during the day before stopping.
Chungui also listened while eating, knowing that business would be good, but he didn't want to do what Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law said!
She laughed when she heard it: "Sister-in-law and Sister Cai have worked hard today, this business is so good, it seems that we have to find a few guys." ”
Cai Shi hurriedly said when he heard this: "What kind of guy are you looking for, you will waste that money in vain, I will help you Brother Li!" ”
"Ah Zhen is right, they are not slow with their hands and feet, it is best to help you, spend less if you can." Daddy Li hurriedly followed.
Chungui stopped the chopsticks in his hand, glanced at the couple and said helplessly: "Sister Cai said this, we are here to be companions as a family, how did I hire you to work." ”
"Brother Li will take over the work in the future, this carpentry work has been done since elementary school, is it possible to stop doing it? And Sister Cai, doesn't anyone worry about your bun today? ”
After saying that, the couple looked stunned, and Chun Gui looked at Father Li again to reassure: "Grandpa, this shop requires capital, I can't just make money and not spend money." ”
Zhixing was happy to drink the duck soup in his heart, and also interjected: "My sister-in-law is right!" The money that should be spent should still be spent, even if you open a shop, then you have to be easy, I see sister-in-law, you will find the cook, and you will not have to get up early in the morning to cook goat's milk croquettes in the future. ”
Zhou Han also followed: "That's it!" Our sister Chun is the boss and shopkeeper, what is the reason for earning money, just to not be tired, how can she earn more and more tired. ”
These words reminded the spring return.
Now is not the time for her to set up a stall, the goods in her hand when she opened the shop are fully prepared, but she and Cai's are not enough, don't you see that the goat's milk is only sold for half a day and then gone.
There were also fewer goats in the yard......
Thinking like this, she looked up at Li Zhigao, who was eating happily: "Second Brother Li, I still want to entrust you with something here." ”
Li Zhigao hurriedly raised his head, his face was dazed, and the whole table also suspended their chopsticks.
Chungui smiled: "Don't be nervous. ”
She pointed outside: "This is a shop, and the goats I have here don't seem to be enough, can Second Brother Li help me collect a few buckets of goat milk in those four towns and eight villages every two days, and send them over when I send mountain goods." ”
"Of course, I pay the wages too."
There are many people who have sheep at home, but the goat's milk smells heavy, and the poor do not want to waste it, so they often eat it themselves, and the extra ones can't drink it and feed the pigs, if it can be sold for a penny or two, it must be happy.
This time, without waiting for Father Li to speak, Chungui directly blocked the words: "If Second Brother Li is not available or doesn't want to be paid, I will have to find someone else, and the salary will still be paid." ”
"Then it's better to find Second Brother Li, and earn your own money from your own family."
Li Zhigao was originally a successful young man, otherwise he would not have worshiped Chen Shi and the brothers to go hunting and sell leather and mountain goods to subsidize the family. He thought for a moment and then decided: "Yes, sister, it is feasible to harvest every day, and now that there is a donkey cart at home, it is more convenient to come here." ”
Listening to his answer, the spring return can be regarded as relieved.
"Look at our spring return, this is to arrange all the juniors." Mrs. Li Zheng bumped into Li Zheng beside her, and said intentionally: "Before, you were still worried that Chungui alone would not be able to support this shop, don't you think it's quite appropriate." ”
After Chun Gui took a few chopsticks and dishes for a few small ones, he replied with a smile: "Uncle Li Zheng still treats me as a child, and I don't feel at ease about anything." ”
A table of people talked about the situation when he first came to Xiaoliangshan when he was a child.
Li Zheng simply explained: "At that time, it was a time when children were sick, but it happened that Zhixing and Qi You were sick together, you know, Li Langzhong is a bearish and injured person, and he can't cure children's diseases, so your two fathers and mothers took you to a doctor to see a doctor, and the doctor was receiving a spring return in his hand." ”
He pointed to Zhixing and Qi You as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Your mother hugged you and couldn't let go, and your father forgot to bring the money and hurriedly went back to get the money, and the medicine for the two of you was still fried by a little doll in Chungui." ”
"Not to mention, I was five years old when I returned in the spring, and I burned the fire and decocted the medicine clearly, and I felt distressed when I saw it."
He said as if he remembered something, and clapped his hands: "By the way, Qi You doesn't drink medicine, or Chungui helps feed it!" ”
As soon as these words fell, Chun Gui clearly felt the gaze from the side, and she helplessly avoided this look, she was not here at that time, this body was still the same.
"And then? Uncle Lizheng! Zhixing Zhiping listened to it with relish, and he was about to continue listening.
"Your mother took a fancy to Chungui at a glance, this person is small but sensible, and she has suffered enough with a doctor from Youfang, and her clothes are patched several times, and she looks hungry." Li Zheng said that this paragraph is also bitter, more than ten years ago, the poor days were really poor, even the people in their Xiaoliangshan are still facing the loess, how can they still go into the town to buy clothes and eat like now.
"Your eldest brother just injured his leg at that time, and your mother thought of bringing Chun Gui here, but fortunately, the doctor You Fang was also short of money, and your mother agreed as soon as she said it."
"In this way, Spring Return has made a home for us."
He looked around at the children on the table, and sighed in his heart that there was such a good creation today.
After listening to him, the faces of the children were a little heavy, Qi You put down the chopsticks and asked in a low voice, "Did the doctor say where did Sister Chun come from?" ”
Li Zheng thought for a while: "Zhixing's mother mentioned it, saying that she ran out after the disaster in the north, and she happened to meet the doctor and raised it for a while. ”
Everyone also knows that the traces of Chungui when he was a child have long been unexaminable.
As he spoke, Zhiping over there had already burst into tears, and when everyone reacted, they had already cried and had red noses.
Chungui hurriedly got up and hugged the person, and for a while, the two boys of the Liu family couldn't hide their emotions, and they were a little squeamish in their bones.
"Okay, okay, what are you crying about?"
Zhiping sobbed and said, "Didn't anyone give my sister-in-law food......
Spring is choking, this stupid child, how can he empathize so much!
The few adults on the side smiled helplessly, only Qi You stretched out his hand: "Give him to me, you continue to eat." ”
Chungui was just about to be sent over, but Zhiping stopped doing it, he was sticky to this Qi You on weekdays, but at this time, he had to rely on Chungui here.
Daddy Li smiled: "This kid is a hurtful person. ”
is also a spring return who treats him so sincerely, and this group of children is like this.
There were laughter and depression in a meal, everyone gossiped carefully, and it was finished after eating for most of the hour.
After dinner, Chun Gui called Li Zhigao, and the two set the goat milk to be collected in two days, basically how much they can collect, starting from ten yuan for one bucket, Li Zhigao got twenty yuan for such a trip, and there was an additional commission of two yuan for two yuan. As for the leather mountain goods, the price is calculated separately.
This time, he also brought two pheasants, and in the past, he saved up and sent a twenty-five yuan to the restaurant, but this time because it was a spring return, he insisted on erasing the fraction of the five yuan, and only received forty yuan. Rao is like this, or has been nagged by Daddy Li for a long time.
But Chun Gui can also see that Daddy Li is happy in his heart.
This trip brought half a cart of taro and sweet potatoes, and when I asked, I learned that Daddy Li and Li Zhigao went up the mountain every day, dug up a lot of grass and vine fruits and transplanted them. Chungui secretly thought to himself, if this shop is opened, it is indispensable that sweet potato taro will also be planted on a large scale, but it is still early, so let's not mention it for the time being.
As for the matter of the guy and the cook, it was also tentatively settled, Qi You went into the study by himself and wrote a recruitment notice for her, and posted it in front of the shop. Everyone looked happy, but Liu Jiawang's daughter-in-law was slightly distracted when she read the letter of appointment, and she didn't come back to her senses until her man greeted her.
After a group of people had lunch and gossiped for a while, they didn't want to disturb the business of Chunhui here, so they left directly. Seeing that the shop was opening well and the children were strong, they were relieved. Chungui prepared some fried sweet potato balls, and asked them to be brought over to the villagers to taste, and Mrs. Lizheng took them and secretly instructed her a few words.
"The shop is open, don't forget your own lifelong events, and my aunt will remember it for you here!"
Chun Gui felt helpless, turned around and glanced at Qi You, with that person here, he couldn't forget this lifelong event.
Although I complained so much in my heart, I was also grateful for the kindness of the lady, and I didn't refute it on my face.
In this way, the donkey cart staggered away.
