Chapter 18, the master of the rivers and lakes

This way

"Knock knock" The knock on the door of the Gu family sounded.

"Who are you?" It was Xiao Douding who went to open the door, and looking at the aunt in front of him, he was very puzzled.

Never before had an aunt knocked on his door, except for the ones that fell a lot last time.

"I'm Li Qing's mother, I'm here to find your sister, is your sister at home?" Kindly asked.

"Here, come in." So saying, he got out of the way and led the people in.

As soon as she entered, Zhao Lanzhi had to sigh, she was shocked.

This house, no worse than those in the town, is it so spacious, and this yard is so big.

Especially inside, since it is still wood-paved, the walls and floors are smooth. How much does it cost?

Although I was a little surprised in my heart, I didn't show much on my face. It's not polite after all.

"You are Aunt Zhao, please take a seat." It stands to reason that she should be called Aunt Li.

But I heard that she is a widow, not to mention that she is not very old, maybe she will marry someone in the future?

"Well, I am." She looked a little restrained, only about 30 years old, dressed in linen, and her skin looked a little old.

"I think the village chief also told you, I'm looking for you, the main thing is cooking, you can steam steamed buns, right?" Gu Tingcheng was a little unsure, after all, there was no baking powder in this ancient world, so it was a bit difficult.

But it doesn't matter if she won't, she can teach her.

"Yes. It's just probably not much better. "Humilly replied.

"It's okay, just do it. All you have to do is steam about 50 white flour steamed buns at noon every day, then stir-fry a few vegetables and cook a large pot of rice. Do you have any questions? ”

Gu Tingcheng got straight to the point.

She calculated that according to modern terms, two catties of noodles can steam about 50 steamed buns.

However, this ancient steamed bun is relatively solid, so it is about three catties of noodles, and a bag of noodles is about 50 catties, which can be made for about 15 days, so it is enough to eat almost 100 catties of noodles.

"No problem." nodded in agreement, but was a little surprised in my heart, it was steamed bread and rice, how good this life is!

I don't do it so well, and I have such a good treatment for my work.

That's because Gu Qingcheng didn't know that there was a miscellaneous side at all.

Many people in the village use white flour mixed with other multigrain noodles to make cakes and eat them.

Some of the nests are very thick and have drooping throats. But no, in order not to go hungry, you still have to eat

"It's okay, and then every day you make the meal, let them bring their own utensils, two steamed buns per person, a bowl of rice, and then I will send you the dishes every day."

"Okay." Nodding.

"By the way, just make it at your house, I will send the things to your house, make the steamed buns bigger, and I will also go to you to eat at noon every day in the future."

After all, she was in a small girl's house, and she didn't want so many men to come to her house.

In the future, there will be a big kitchen built at the factory. However, the factory is mainly a kitchen, and most of the kitchen utensils are used. After all, what is produced is when it is eaten.

"Okay, so it's past noon today, do you still do it? I heard that the factory has already started. ”

She was a little hesitant, knowing that if she had to do it, she didn't have food at home now.

"Naturally, you have to do it, you come with me, and I will transport the grain to your house now." With that, he went into the kitchen and took out two bags of flour.

Aunt Zhao was dumbfounded, these two bags of flour are at least 100 catties!

But this Gu girl doesn't seem to feel the weight!

Then Gu Qingcheng took out two more bags of rice and some fresh vegetables.

This was all done when she went to the market, as well as seasonings.

All of them were put into the carriage, and then they called the aunt of the Zhao family and drove the carriage to her house.

The Zhao family's aunt lives at the end of the village, about two or three hundred meters away from Gu Qingcheng's house.

Speaking of this topography, the relationship between Gu Tingcheng and the village is a bit triangular, and the village is a straight line. The extra corner is Gu Qingcheng's family.

Gu Tingcheng was neither at the head of the village nor at the end of the village, but a little closer to the head of the village. The nearest to the village is about 100 meters away.

The carriage soon arrived at Aunt Zhao's house, although it was only more than 300 meters away, but the thing was a little heavy, so I drove the carriage.

The advantage of the houses in this village is that each family is a little away from the house, at least twenty or thirty meters away.

Aunt Zhao's family is generally large, has a small yard, and raises two chickens. I heard that it was only their mother and son. There are no old people in the house.

After moving everything in, Aunt Zhao began to cook on the fire. Gu Qingcheng also drove back in the carriage.

After returning home

Seeing that the maltose drying in the yard was also dry, he took a clean hammer and smashed it.

"Sister, sister, I want to eat candy." As soon as Xiao Douding saw Gu Tingcheng knocking on the candy, he hurriedly put down the pen and came over.

"Why do you like sweets so much?" To be honest, she rarely saw boys like sweets.

"I'm going to eat it." even sprinkled coquettishly.

"Who is to blame for the toothache after eating it?" Gu Tingcheng asked him.

He thought about it seriously, and he definitely had to blame Fang Erya. He wanted to eat candy, but it was all so that he could secretly keep a copy for her.

The child is so cute, in fact, he doesn't want to think about another one that he wants to eat.

But the answer is yes

"Blame myself." With his head down, he looked aggrieved.

"Alright! These two pieces are for you. Bring two pieces to Ah Wu. He shook his head helplessly. Then he lowered his head and knocked the candy again.

After all, if you want to cook, this sugar is so thick that you have to beat it very finely.

Of course, it doesn't need to be as fine as modern rock candy, after all, it will melt when you put it in the pot.

"Xiao Qi, are you at home? Open the door. "It's the voice of the eldest brother of the Fang family, he went to dig yams early this morning. Why are you only coming back now?

"Come in, Brother Fang. I'm not afraid of gossip. So saying, he turned and went in.

"Okay." The eldest brother of the Fang family carried the basket on his back and led his younger brothers and sisters to go in.

"Brother Fang, you tie up these yams in a stack and weigh them." Gu Tingcheng directly took it out.

After all, it's impossible to let the family do it for nothing, although she is paid every month, but it is to help her go out and sell things.

Like these, he dug it up with his own hard work, and she naturally wanted to give money.

"20 pounds." The eldest brother of the Fang family didn't know why, but he still listened to her.

"Well, in the future, we will also collect these things from the outside, ten cents a catty. Give this is 2 million, you take it. ”

took out 200 Wen and gave it to the past.

"What are you doing here? I'm already working for you, so why more? "Big Brother Fang didn't quite understand what this meant.

"It means that this is extra, I hired you just to help me sell things and take care of the accounts. Now that the factory has started, you can go to the factory tomorrow to help me manage it, in case of other accidents. ”

As he spoke, he gave the money over, after all, people haven't eaten lunch yet.

"Okay." The eldest brother of the Fang family also accepted it unceremoniously. After all, their family is also short of money now, and I heard that there are disasters and famines in some places, so it is becoming more and more difficult to come here.

The disaster and famine are all made by the common people, and the prices are high, and only the people are the most sad.

"By the way, in the future, lunch will be eaten at the Zhao family's aunt, and it would be good for your brothers and sisters to go too."

"Well, Erya, we're back. What did you take? She shouted Erya, and she ran out with something in her hand.

"The candy given by the little starling." Said sweetly.

"Then did you thank you, little starling?" Although he is a rough man, he is very meticulous in raising his sister.

"Well, thanks." Said politely.

"If you go to the factory tomorrow, don't take Erya with you, it hasn't been repaired over there, and the sun is very hot. Send them to me. ”

Gu Tingcheng looked at Erya and said, after all, she likes this Erya a lot. Also, the little bean ding in her house also likes to play with Fang Erya.

"Okay then." Indeed, he was reluctant to expose his delicate and weak sister.

Then he went back with his younger siblings and was going to send them back tomorrow.

After seeing them leave, Gu Qiancheng returned to the courtyard

"You two do your homework at home, and I'm going to catch a few fish."

Because of his martial arts, the candy had already been knocked before he was knocked for a while.

"Hmm." Seeing that the two of them obediently agreed.

Gu Tingcheng went out, carrying the basket on his back, ready to go and catch some fish and come back.

At this time, the sun was still big, and it was a little sunny, so when I came to the river, I put the back basket at the bottom like last time

Then urge the internal force to stir the upper mouth, so that the fish all come down.

After a while, the back basket was full, and she made a lot of pieces today, and she was going to send three or four to Aunt Zhao later.

After all, today is the first day of work, and life is still a little better.

Although the fish was ready, she didn't want to go back so quickly, so she put the basket in the water so that the fish would not die.

I walked along the river, I have been here for so long, and I haven't been so easy, I have taken a walk by the river.

The further down I go, the wider the river becomes, and there are big rocks. It feels like there is no end to this river, and I don't know where it leads.

I don't know if there are any maps for sale here, so I'll have to get a map.

Sitting on a large, smooth rock by the river, it was already a bit deserted, and it was a little far from the village, and it seemed that no one came.

Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Qingcheng lay directly on the boulder, empty his thoughts, and closed his eyes.

Suddenly it felt like she was back in modern times, and she was lying on the bed, disheveled.

Just as I was about to see what was going on, a man's voice suddenly came.

"The girl is really good Yaxing, she is unconventional, and dares to be so open."

He meant that she disregarded etiquette, and a woman lay directly on the stone slab regardless of her image.

Although they are so open-minded, this girl is obviously not a Jianghu person, and this dress should be a girl from a nearby village.

"Who are you?" Gu Qingcheng looked up at the man in white who suddenly appeared next to him, with a superb temperament and a proper beautiful man.

The body is full of fairy energy, at first glance, he is not an ordinary person, he walks silently, and suddenly appears here is obviously a master of the rivers and lakes.
