Chapter 130: Picking a girl
In half a month, the key to the house was in hand, and Shen Shiliu pinched the title deed in his hand and smiled happily.
"Mother, put this thing away." Shen Pomegranate handed over the things to Du Niangzi.
Du Niangzi waved her hand: "You take it, I'm more at ease to let you go, I'm holding a stick to find a stick's brain, it's easy to forget where to put it!" ”
Du Xuanmo also said: "Then you will keep it for your mother first!" Then he winked at Shen Shimei.
Shen Shiliu happily put it away, and then said, "Then let's move quickly, I'll go clean up first in the next two days!" ”
Du Niangzi nodded, although this post house is good, it is always a temporary place, and it is not a long-term place to live.
Du Xuanmo nodded, then took out a piece of paperwork, Shen Shiliu took it and looked at it, and said happily: "You have already done it!" "This document is a license to run a restaurant, today he went out early in the morning to do this, although his official position is not high, but all aspects will also give some face, many things will be easy. Shen Shiliu wants to open this restaurant, and the Yamen of Kyoto City must have to deal with it often, and he also has to pave the way for Shen Shimei.
Shen Shiliu had inquired before, even if there was a small stall in Kyoto City, the yamen had to give the documents, and the clerk yamen here was very stuck, and it was not easy to make a deal. Du Xuanmo did it for her at once, which saved her a lot of effort.
"That's amazing! It's really not wrong to marry! Shen Shiliu said, marrying such a man, the future life will be smooth, because he will think about everything for you, so that you have no worries.
Du Niangzi smiled, the little two were sweet and sweet, she looked at it and was relieved, now she didn't worry about anything else, just pondered that Shen Pomegranate would give her a grandson and everything would be fine!
Shen Shiliu got up early the next day, had breakfast first, and after sending Du Xuanmo away, he took Zheng Erzhu and Wen Huai to the new house.
The main entrance of the house is relatively magnificent, with high doors and high walls, but compared with the mansions of other officials, their mansion looks much simpler.
opened the door with the key, Zheng Erzhu pushed the door open, the gate was much more spacious, the house was not small, Shen Pomegranate and the three of them turned around first, and found that the house was bigger than they imagined.
There is a rockery in the main courtyard, but it has long since dried up, and a lot of leaves have fallen. Bypass is the backyard, the backyard is bigger, the room is not old or young, there is a larger yard, there are also smaller gatehouses and yards where the next person lives, and then turn around is the back door, there are two large shops next to the back door, Shen Shiliu looked at it, and knew the location of his restaurant.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Shen Shiliu looked at the wall and said, "When the time comes, push this wall, build a house here, just on the side of the street, and build a wall inside to install a door, which is convenient for entering and exiting and preventing guests from entering." ”
Zheng Erzhu nodded and pushed open the back door, there were really a lot of pedestrians on the street, and there was definitely no shortage of customers to open a small restaurant. Although there are many big restaurants in Kyoto City, their restaurants are unique, and there is definitely a corner of the place!
Shen Shiliu gave an order, and the three of them began to clean up, and they couldn't finish the matter of pushing the wall to build a house, so they cleaned the front and back yards first, but the yard was too big, and they were busy all morning before they cleaned up a front yard and front hall.
"Eat first, come back in the afternoon!" Shen Shiliu said, now is not in a hurry, just take your time, and now the weather is cold, it is not easy to break the ground, if it is fast, it will have to wait until the weather warms up after the year.
Shen Shiliu went to the house to clean up during the day, plus Zheng Erzhu and Wen Huai were only three people in total, and finally Zheng Erzhu asked: "Our brother-in-law has become an official, and now he has a house, do you want to find some people to help?" ”
Shen Shiliu shook his head and said that he didn't know, Du Xuanmo's money shouldn't be enough......
In the evening, Shen Shiliu asked Du Xuanmo: "How much is it now?" ”
"One hundred and fifty stones, enough to eat." Du Xuanmo said.
Shen Shimei calculated, one hundred and fifty stones of grain converted into silver is five taels and a half per month, although it is a lot, but if you find someone else, it is estimated that it will be tight.
"Oh, I'll figure out how many helpers I can find." Shen Shiliu said, you have to hire a few long-term workers, otherwise where will such a big house be cleaned up?
Du Xuanmo smiled: "No wonder you can't ask me about it, if you find someone, don't worry, I don't just have a good luck, I have other clear purposes." ”
Shen Pomegranate wondered, what is the name?
"Handsome guy, if you find out about corruption or something, won't you have to go around without food?" Shen Shiliu was afraid that Du Xuanmo would make some gray income and eventually burn himself.
Du Xuanmo smiled bitterly directly, poked Shen Shimei's little head melon and said, "Am I so stupid?" ”
"What kind of blindness is that?" Shen Pomegranate was curious.
Du Xuanmo explained: "The imperial court gives a lot of things to officials, in addition to Yulu, there are also coupon calendars for New Year's holidays, and they can be exchanged for grain and silver when the time comes. "The coupon calendar is also anonymous, and you can't find anyone's head.
Shen Shiliu was shocked, she didn't expect that there were so many ways in other people's officialdom, she made some money and earned hard money, and doing some food and drink was not a profiteering business, in such a comparison, she found that Du Xuanmo made money quickly!
"That's okay, tomorrow I want to find some long-term workers, and then hire Master to tear down the house and rebuild it after the year." Shen Shiliu said, plus the money she brought herself, it was more than enough to open a restaurant!
"Okay, you can arrange it." As he spoke, Du Xuanmo took a wooden box from a drawer under the table and handed it to Shen Shimei.
Shen Shimei took it and took a look, there were some silver tickets, broken silver, and some tickets that I hadn't seen before, which should be the coupon calendar that Du Xuanmo said.
The coupon calendar is two hundred stones, some are small, and there are twenty or thirty pieces of one piece, Shen Shimei calculated it and found that Du Xuanmo also has a lot of property!
"This is definitely a small treasury, why don't you keep it for yourself?" Shen Shiliu raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Xuanmo.
Du Xuanmo said very firmly: "I don't need a small treasury, I'll give it all to you!" He himself felt that his desire to survive was not ordinarily strong.
Shen Shiliu put away the small treasury with a smile, Du Xuanmo had already handed over the financial power of the family to her, and she also had to be a good housekeeper!
hired two long-term workers, and the speed of cleaning up the house was much faster, and seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, everyone finally moved into the house.
"Fushun, these coals are put in the firewood room first, and they are separated from the firewood, which is safe. When the warehouse is full, these rice and white noodles will be put in the kitchen, remember to put a board underneath, or it will not return to the moisture! Shen Shiliu commanded, and the two long-term workers hired were also outsiders, and they were recruited back by Shen Shiliu as soon as they came to Kyoto City, and they had to contribute in the future.
Zheng Erzhu and Wen Huai also helped unload the car, and bought a lot of New Year's goods, and Shen Shiliu regarded the first year in this house as very important.
Shen Shimei took a sip of water, thinking that it was not enough to have a long job, and the big man was not careful, so he had to find two girls to come over.
"Brother Erzhu, there are still two girls missing, you have to pick a clever one, let Wen Huai go with you, and you will bring it back if he nods!" Shen Shiliu instructed.
Zheng Erzhu wondered: "Why did he nod his head to get it back?" ”
"Go first, you'll understand!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile, and after taking the money, he let Zheng Erzhu and Wen Huai go first.
Zheng Erzhu was puzzled all the way, looked at Wen Huai, and asked, "Why do you want to nod?" ”
Wen Huai shook his head, he didn't understand either.
The two of them walked to the city like this, and when Zheng Erzhu entered, someone greeted him, and Zheng Erzhu was not the first time to come here, and several bosses were also familiar.
"What kind of choice are you here to choose this time? Is it a hard work or a servant? We've got it all! The boss said with a big gold tooth.
Zheng Erzhu looked around and said, "I want a girl, I can work, and I am careful!" ”
The boss of the golden tooth led Zheng Erzhu and Wen Huai forward, pointed to a few girls who looked quite upright, and said, "These are all here this morning, and they are good maids." ”
Zheng Erzhu glanced at it and picked out two of them, but Wen Huai shook his head: "No." ”
"Can't do it? Bite? Zheng Erzhu was puzzled.
"The hands are too thin, and they can't do it at first glance!" Wen Huai said.
Zheng Erzhu: "Can you see this?" What about these two? ”
"My hands are too thick, and I don't move even if I eat a lot, and I don't work when I go back." Wen Huai said.
Zheng Erzhu was surprised, and then pointed to the last two and said, "These two are always okay, right?" ”
Wen Huai glanced at it, and finally said, "No, it's too good-looking!" ”
Zheng Erzhu: "......"
Gold Tooth Boss: "......"
Zheng Erzhu was anxious: "Why is it a problem to be good-looking?" ”、
Wen Huai said unhurriedly: "My mother said, good-looking maids are thinking about how to steal the master!" ”
Zheng Erzhu, who was originally jumping on his feet, suddenly lost his temper again, Wen Huai was right, there were already a lot of people his brother-in-law wanted to steal, so he didn't have to trouble anymore.
As soon as Zheng Erzhu turned around, he said to the boss of the golden tooth: "Boss, is there a girl whose hands are not thick or thin, who is not lazy to eat, and who is not good-looking?" ”
The boss of the golden tooth has begun to curse in his heart, are these two people here to find the maid or to smash the field?
But the boss of Golden Tooth, in line with the belief that he is rich and does not make a bastard, finally found two people who didn't look very good.
"There are not many needs to be satisfied!" The boss of the golden tooth said that these two are not very good-looking, and they have not been selected for more than a month. Generally, people who look for people will also pick good ones, like these two who have to find bad looks, which is really rare.
Wen Huai looked at it, and finally nodded, Zheng Erzhu finally understood why Shen Shimei said that.
They are here to hire girls, not to buy and sell people, so they have to go through the paperwork in the yamen, and the boss of the golden tooth directly collected the money from the two girls, which is more than the "intermediary fee".
took the two girls home, and Shen Shiliu was happy when she saw it: "Okay, it's a good choice, I'm very satisfied!" "This Wen Huai really never let her down!
