Chapter 143 Construction (1)

Gong Yuanhe looked for a craftsman. The ear room of the main courtyard was transformed into a small kitchen, and the flower woman took care of it, while Ming Fei avoided the craftsman and went to the Banchun Garden to receive the tooth woman.

This tooth woman was used to by the Cai family in the past, and after the repeated advice of the Chen family, they carefully found the right person to send it up. The two stoves are mother and daughter, surnamed Jin, the mother is in her thirties, and her daughter is only thirteen or fourteen years old, she looks average, her clothes are very old, and there are patches everywhere, but the pulp is very clean, and her eyes are also very calm when she looks at people, she does not dodge or cower, but the corners of her eyebrows and eyes inevitably contain a sadness.

Ming Fei thinks that for people who cook food, hygiene is the key, and this mother and daughter have fallen to this point, and they can still keep their clothes neat and tidy, which is not bad. So she asked the Ya Po about the two of them, and the Ya Po saw her and asked. I know it's a fancy. So he told in detail what happened to Jin's mother and daughter: "When she was still in charge, she opened a snack bar on Qilin Street, and the business was still thriving. Later, her head died, she had no son, the store was occupied by an unscrupulous uncle, and her mother and daughter had to be sold. She was not angry, she didn't want her daughter to become a slave, so she took her daughter to hide in Tibet and do odd jobs everywhere. I heard that my grandmother's family was going to recruit people, and I knew that the house was merciful, so I deliberately found the small one and wanted to sell some strength for my grandmother. ”

If what Ya Po said is true, this woman can be regarded as backbone. But since he didn't want to become a slave, he was only willing to sign a living deed. Ming Fei was a little reluctant, her kitchen was heavy, and she was most afraid that someone would come to make trouble. If there is a deed of sale in hand, if there is anything wrong, it is easy to deal with it, even if it is escaped, the government's investigation and control of fugitive slaves is also very strict. The other party is afraid of this, and his behavior will be much more restrained. And the living deed, which can leave at any time, is not so easy to handle.

Seeing that Ming Fei was still very interested just now, Ya Po suddenly lowered her head and drank tea and stopped talking, and couldn't help but be a little anxious: "Grandma, she is not in filial piety, she is already full of filial piety." Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come. The craftsmanship is really good, don't look at her little child, she has been taken by her mother since she was a child, and she has learned the craft of cooking a ten-of-the-best, and she is very good. Or? Grandma, did you ask them to cook two soup dishes on the spot? ”

When Jin heard this, he immediately pulled her daughter to kneel on the ground and kowtowed: "Grandma, please take our mother and daughter in." Chunnan will grow up soon, they won't let the little woman live, if they are sold to be concubines, how can the little woman live? When the girl heard this, tears began to drip down.

The golden hairpin shouted: "I don't understand the rules!" What to cry about! If you have something to say, it's good to say! ”

Rich people with heads and faces are the most taboo for others to cry in their homes for no reason, but for orphans and widows like them, only tears are left and they can be independent. Jin glanced at Ming Fei, and saw that Ming Fei didn't show obvious displeasure, just stared at her sideways, and hope arose in his heart, and immediately took a handkerchief to wipe her daughter's tears: "Don't cry, grandma is a good person." ”

Ming Fei said suddenly: "Take your handkerchief and I'll see it." ”

Jin Shi was a little puzzled and looked at Ming Fei blankly.

Bai Lu had already stepped forward to take the handkerchief, opened it and put it in front of Ming Fei to show her. The veil is very clean, it is the most common coarse cloth on the market, and it is washed white. The corners have been worn out, revealing the whiskers, but embroidered with a spring flower. The embroidery thread is made up, the color is not coordinated, the leaves are not only green, but also blue and black, but the stitches are very fine, and it can be seen that the embroiderer put a lot of thought into it at that time.

Seeing that Ming Fei was serious, Jin said worriedly: "The craftsmanship is stupid, it doesn't look good, and it stains *** eyes." ”

Ming Fei said: "Who did it?" I look at the stitches, but they are quite fine. ”

Jin was a little proud, and a smile appeared on his face: "It was made by Chunnan." The little woman went out to do odd jobs, she looked after the house at home, washed clothes, and did sewing. ”

Jin's sideburns already have gray hair, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes are also many and fine, Ming Fei said, "How old are you?" ”

Kim said, "The little woman is a rabbit. ”

The tooth woman laughed and said, "Two out of thirty." ”

Thirty-two-year-olds have become like this, and the world is always very unfair to women, especially to women who have no support. Ming Fei sighed: "How many years are you willing to sign?" ”

Jin said cautiously: "It's no problem for the little woman to sign for as long as she wants, but Chunnan, can you only sign for two years?" ”

The tooth woman scolded her: "I don't know what to do, it's good if grandma is willing to take you in, who only signs for two years?" "It's usually signed for five or even ten years.

Ming Fei waved his hand: "Let's make a few soup dishes that you are good at first, and I'll taste them." ”

The Jin family was overjoyed, pulled Chunnan to kowtow to Ming Fei, and Bai Lu took him to the kitchen.

Ming Fei picked two teenage girls and two boys who looked upright and delicate, and left an honest and honest man who looked big and round, raising horses and watching the yard to do rough work. Ya Po negotiated with her about the worth of these people, and just waited for the Jin mother and daughter to send the soup and vegetables.

A small bowl of shredded chicken noodles and a plate of garlic tofu made by the Kim family, rubbing his hands together and saying, "Grandma." There was nothing to do in a hurry, and there were no side dishes, so please grandma to taste it. ”

Ming Fei was very satisfied after tasting it, those fine ingredients are not eaten often, and what he wants is home-cooked food. Simple ingredients can make a good taste, and it doesn't matter if you can't make other big dishes, just ask the master chef from Fan Xia Xuan when you need it. So let people also send it to Gong Yuanhe to taste, Shaoqing, there was news over there, saying that Gong Yuanhe also felt appetizing, Ming Fei left the Jin family mother and daughter, she believes that a person who loves life, cherishes his daughter, and has backbone will not be so bad in heart.

Jin Hairpin and Zi Luo led these people down to settle down, and Ming Fei took someone to the outer courtyard to clean up the yard for the upcoming chief steward Xue Minggui. Halfway through the packing, Gong Yanbi came.

Gong Yanbi smiled: "Sister-in-law is really diligent. I haven't seen you idle in the past few days. I heard how many people you just bought? My brother is also building a kitchen? ”

Ming Fei smiled: "Isn't it? It's deserted on our side, a few more people and a little more heat. ”

Gong Yanbi said: "I haven't had anyone in the house for a long time, and I don't know what the price is now?" How much does it cost? ”

Ming Fei didn't hide it from her, and answered them one by one.

Gong Yanbi nodded and looked around: "Who is this going to be packed up for?" ”

Danxia saw her inquiring endlessly, and she was very bored in her heart. Frequently give Bai Lu a look. Bai Lu stepped forward from time to time to ask Ming Fei about something, interrupted the conversation between the two, and signaled Gong Yanbi that they were very busy and busy, and they left quickly.

Gong Yanbi didn't move when she was sitting, and she didn't think the house was dusty, so she broke the sand pot and asked in the end, Ming Fei told her generously: "Your brother is an official, and there will always be people coming to the door." I'm a woman, and it's not convenient for me to come forward a lot of the time. So look for a great steward. ”

Gong Yanbi's eyes rolled, and she took Ming Fei's hand affectionately: "Then can you find a suitable candidate?" ”

Ming Fei smiled: "I don't know about your brother." He just told me to clean up the yard and wait. Nothing else was said. ”

Gong Yanbi said: "I heard my aunt and Mrs. mention it that day, saying that when my uncle was doing business in Fuming, he knew a person, and he was very transparent about human affairs, but he was unlucky and followed the wrong person several times. I heard that my brother is young and promising, and he has the heart to come and rely on him, and he doesn't want any salary, he just wants to have a good future......"

Ming Fei listened to her quietly, and said with a smile: "Why didn't you hear Mrs. and Aunt mention it?" "I secretly thought in my heart, most of the time I didn't have a chance to mention it that day, and then I also thought that the two of them didn't move so fast, and now I saw her buying people and cleaning up the yard, so I was in a hurry, and let Gong Yanbi come over to fight...
