Chapter Twenty-Eight: Worried about his livelihood, Ding's father is embarrassed

After Zhou Langzhong's follow-up to Wu, he said that the fetus was temporarily stabilized, and he could walk on the ground for half an hour to an hour every day, but he still needed to use tocolytics, and he could not do physical work.

"What? Still eating? How can we afford to eat? I've lived for half my life, and I haven't even eaten a few slices of meat, so I changed the bitter soup for that stinky woman to drink! Mrs. Ding couldn't help but shout.

Zhang also said bluntly, "This baby in my sister-in-law's belly is really raised with money!" ”

Zhao snorted and glanced at Zhang, "Anyway, sister-in-law has a good daughter now, what kind of heart do you?" He said to Mrs. Ding again: "Mother, my sister-in-law can't work, so what should I do when it's her turn?" If I do any more, I won't be able to take care of Jinbao. ”

When it comes to his own interests, Zhang's also opened his mouth, "It's all a family, and it's not all the same who does more and less." That's it, mother, then I don't have the time to go out, the fourth brother's business ......"

"Sifu's business is serious, you hurry up and find a daughter-in-law for him to come back." Before Zhang finished speaking, Mrs. Ding opened her mouth.

"Then I can't take care of the work in this house for the time being, so I can only trouble my third brother and sister." Zhang looked apologetic.

"I still have to take care of Jinbao!" Zhao was not to be outdone.

"Alright, don't talk about it." Mrs. Ding made a decision, "The eldest daughter-in-law has a safe baby, and Sanya doesn't need it, so she will work for the old family in the future." ”

Zhang and Zhao stopped talking.

"This is a recipe, I have reduced a few flavors of medicine, although it is cheaper, it costs fifty yuan a pair, if you take it, go to my shop to grab the medicine." Zhou Langzhong handed the prescription to Qiu Se, put away the consultation fee and got up to leave, without even glancing at the few women standing in the courtyard to discuss.

"Mother, look at my milk." When Sanya heard that she was going to work for the Wu family, she stomped her feet angrily.

Wu's heart was also uncomfortable, he was dying, his mother-in-law didn't say anything about the money, and he didn't even want to stretch out his hand, so he said to Sanya in a bad tone: "Find your father." ”

Ding Dafu squatted in the corner of the room and kept smoking, the rising smoke covered his face, Sanya couldn't see his expression clearly, only heard his voice say a little stiffly: "That's your milk, what's wrong with letting you work?" What's wrong with you helping your mother? ”

Sanya was taken aback and didn't dare to complain anymore, at this time, Qiu Sexin came in and handed Sanya a pack of copper plates, "Here are two hundred yuan, you go, buy four pairs of medicine first." ”

"Oh." Sanya was a little disappointed when she saw that she couldn't earn money for running errands, so she packed the money and went out to buy medicine.

Zhao, who was in the courtyard with the soles of his shoes, touched Zhang, who was knocking melon seeds on the side, "Hey, look, I'm going out to buy medicine again." Our eldest niece is really hidden! Hundreds of texts and hundreds of texts are taken out, it is estimated that our mother regrets dying, I knew that I would have coaxed the money down first and then drove people away! ”

Zhang was stunned when he heard Zhao's words, and looked at the window of the autumn room thoughtfully.

At this time, Qiu Se was sitting at her kang table to keep accounts, and the more she remembered, the tighter her brows wrinkled.

When she left Xinglong Town, she put all the clothes and jewelry she didn't use to death, and in addition to the silver ticket of fifty taels, she saved a total of four taels and five hundred and eighty-two pieces of change.

But in the three days when I arrived in Qingshui Town, I spent nearly one or two silver, eating a bowl of noodles at the dock for 12 Wen, going to Ding's house to buy pastries and pork ribs for a total of 38 Wen, Wu's fetal gas consultation fee and medicine fee of 25 Wen, rent 50 Wen, and arranging the new house in the past two days to add things 370 Wen, plus the 200 Wen medicine money and 10 Wen medical fees just now, Qiu Se spent a total of 930 Wen.

Qiu Se threw the last copper plate into the money bag, lying on the kang table and sighed helplessly, although she spent a lot, but more than half of it was not spent on herself, and this kind of expense is not known when it will be a head, and if she continues like this, she has to sit and eat empty, and now she is a little bit of a concern about Wu's business. But doesn't it matter? Seeing Wu's miscarriage or two deaths? She really can't seem to do it.

Maybe she should do something to make money, but what? Autumn color is starting to worry again, she can't be like the men of the Ding family to make a lot of efforts, right? Don't say that you can do it or not, it is estimated that no one will use her; Going to work for someone? But this is not modern, the only way for a girl to work for others is to sell herself as a maid, but how can she jump back when she finally comes out of the door of the mansion, and there is no freedom at all in this kind of work; The only way to do that is to make money through craft.

What kind of craft do you have? After thinking about it, Qiu Se smiled, she really has two skills that can be seen, one is the female red craft inherited from the original owner, although the embroidery is not the best, but sewing clothes is absolutely no problem, coupled with her modern elements, it will definitely make people shine. But the problem is also here, the time to make clothes is too long, and it is not necessarily how much you can make when you sell them, and you can't even get the money back, after all, Qingshui Town is not Qingchuan Mansion, and there are relatively many poor people.

Another is her own cooking skills, Autumn Color is working alone in modern times, and she uses her spare time to learn to cook, although her skills are not compared with the chefs of the Star Pole Hotel, the taste is almost the same. But it is also difficult to make a fortune with this craft, Qiu Se is a woman, who would dare to use her if she went to an ancient restaurant to apply for a chef? It's not enough to do it alone, the fifty taels of silver tickets are used to settle down, and she will never move it unless she has to.

The only movable capital is the remaining three taels of silver, and then leave the recent living expenses, and the real capital that can be used as the capital can only be less than three taels of silver, and the capital of a few taels of silver can only be a hawker.

determined the direction of making money, and Qiu Se finally felt a little more steady, but then the question came again, what should he be a vendor to sell? Where to sell? If you walk the streets with a load like other vendors, you may not be able to estimate your physical strength, but it would be nice to have a crowded place like a train station.

Thinking of the station, the autumn color is inspired, there is no train station here, but there is a pier! And every once in a while, there are cargo ships docking, and when I came back and passed by, I saw a lot of vendors carrying burdens to sell things, and that was it. As for what to sell, I had to go to the field, and if I figured out the autumn colors, I went straight to my destination.

Qiu Shi walked around the dock and found that most of the shops around him were selling food, as well as a carriage and horse shop, a liquor store with lodging, a tea house, and a few smaller warehouses.

There are also hawkers carrying burdens, walking around in the crowd of threes and twos, and shouting from time to time. Hawkers sell pasta, such as steamed buns, drinking cakes, etc., and there are also those that sell porridge and water, such as mung bean porridge, millet porridge, paste porridge, etc.

Qiu Se stood aside and observed for a long time, and found that the business of the vendors was not good, those laborers wearing patched clothes did not look at the vendors at all, and occasionally those who did not eat breakfast only bought a coarse noodle cake, and those who were dressed well-dressed mostly ignored the burden and went directly into the restaurant next to them. Qiu's eyebrows furrowed tightly, couldn't the livelihood he thought of work?

At this time, a cargo ship came from a distance, and the people around were excited, especially those laborers, shouting that it was a cargo ship, and they rushed to the place where the big ship docked. Some stewards selected a group of laborers to carry the goods, and the others who were not selected stood aside and watched.

The laborers carried the goods to a small warehouse on the docks, unloaded them from the cargo ship for nearly an hour, and by the time they had received the hard-earned money from the steward, the cargo ship was gone.

Some of the laborers paid for cakes or steamed buns to drink with the water they brought from home, and some bought gruel to drink, and the business of these vendors improved a lot.

At this time, it was close to noon, and the wharf was bustling, with some pedestrians departing or arriving by boat walking back and forth on the wharf, and some people who needed to work on the wharf also came to the wharf to ask for help, attracting a lot of hawkers.

Autumn Colors stayed on the docks for nearly an hour, and finally found that the business of the vendors was not too bad, maybe a little worse in the morning, but by noon the business was a little overwhelmed. At noon, when there is a lot of people and the sun is hot, most of those who are thirsty and have no water will buy bowls of porridge to drink, and those who earn money in the morning will buy an extra cake to replenish their strength, and if another boat arrives on the shore, then their business can be described as hot.

Find the best time to do business, the rest is to figure out what to sell, according to the observation of the autumn color this morning, the vendor who sells porridge and water is better than the business of selling pasta, and she should also choose to sell liquid food, can she also sell mung bean porridge, she has seen the porridge seller, the clear soup with little water, there are a few mung beans and millet floating in it, and the porridge is lifted up.

And if you also sell porridge, not to mention half of the passenger flow, if you do it better than others, but the price is the same, your own cost will be high, and you won't make much money, and it is best to have less cost and no one to do it. Selling tea? Autumn color quickly rejected this idea, there is a tea house next to it, not to mention, how many people can drink that small cup of tea around here? Didn't you see that the tea house didn't open all morning! So what exactly is it selling? It's nerve-wracking.

"Big girl, what are you doing here?" The autumn color was in a trance, and suddenly I heard someone calling me, and when I looked back, it was Ding Dafu who walked towards me.

"I just walked around and wanted to see what I could do to make money. Dad, you just carried the work, right? Why don't you take a break? Qiu Se asked when he saw that his face was covered with sweat and even his clothes were wet.

"I saw you wandering around here, so I'll come and have a look." As he spoke, Ding Dafu pulled the autumn colors and stood in a place with few people.

Qiu Se found that she looked directly at those hawkers and laborers who had already attracted the attention of others, and many people looked this way, looking at Ding Dafu standing beside him, and many people withdrew their gaze. At this moment, Qiu Se felt that Ding Dafu, the father, was still very protective of his daughter, but when he thought of his performance in the Wu family's affairs, he felt bad.

"Dad, is the money you just made enough to buy some meat or chicken, my mother's medicine still doesn't know how long to drink, make up for it in food, maybe you don't need to drink the medicine when you're healthy!" Qiu Se deliberately asked Ding Dafu to buy supplements for the Wu family.

"This, I...... All the money I earn will be handed over to your master. Ding Dafu looked embarrassed and squeaked: "Didn't you just buy a chicken two days ago?" All the money I kept to buy tobacco was gone. ”
