Chapter 140: Buying a House

Seeing that the business is getting better day by day, everyone is full of energy, and the aunt said that the two mothers still have spare energy, so they might as well do more. The two of them looked ruddy, the shrimp also pasted some meat, and the willow branches refused to treat their own people badly, and there was always a good food if they didn't eat well. She has always been generous in hand, and often grabs a handful of copper, and everyone has a share.

Xingrui is also quite happy, although it is dealing with oil smoke, it is not very decent, but those who have suffered know to cherish it, she has been scared of the days when she was sold around, and she is completely involuntarily. Willow Branch asked her to get up politely, but to do the same thing as her, eat at the same table, regardless of dignity and inferiority, treat her as a sister, this is the first time she really feels like family. In the past, they were all masters and slaves, who allowed you to climb high?

Only Xiao Jia is not satisfied, everyone is stupidly busy, obviously it is not like this, Li Chun is earning thousands of silver money outside, and the eldest girl is still staying up like this, is she waiting for other women to spend it for her. Alas, if the eldest girl opens up and buys a big house, how can she be a big steward with her qualifications, but it's beautiful, there are people working and filial piety, and the beautiful maid is the first to pick it, aren't those stewards like this.

Now I get up before dawn every day and come back when it's dark. Xiao Jia stayed up for a month and said to Liu Zhi that there were few people in the shop at night, so it was better for him to go back early in the afternoon, and when Liu Zhi came, he would open the door for her in the concierge, and there was no need to look at the concierge's face.

Liu Zhi didn't say anything and went with him, Xing Rui said angrily: "Lady, you are too good at talking, Xiao Jia is obviously lazy and slippery, and you let him do this." ”

Liu Zhi said: "There are few people to eat at night, and he can't help here." ”

Aunt Xu said to Xingrui behind her back, "Lady is kind-hearted, let's just do more, Xiao Jia can't help much." ”

Xingrui stomped her feet and said: "I just can't see him like this, I've never seen a subordinate like this." ”

Liu Zhi didn't have time to think about this, so she was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground when she arrived at the store, steaming rice, stir-frying the vegetables and putting them hot in the steamer. It was busy until the afternoon, when Willow Branch, a few of them had time to sit down and rest for lunch. After eating, the shrimp washed the dishes and chopsticks and steamed baskets, Aunt Xu tidied up the tables and chairs, and the apricots settled the accounts. Liu Zhi saw that Xiao Jia was still holding a teacup and sucking water, so he asked him to help Xiao Shrimp wash the dishes. Xiao Jia got up and went slowly, and sneaked away without washing a few.

Liu Zhi sighed, and Aunt Xu comforted her in turn: "Little brother has thick hands, and it is not worth it for him to break the bowl if he wants to make it." ”

Feeling this new city while counting the days, when Li Chun comes back in the middle of the year, he will definitely praise himself when he sees that he is so capable. I am happy when I think about it. Here, Liu Zhi also asked Mrs. Seven to help find a house. They can find a very small yard and buy it, and set up their own home, Xingrui can needlework, and Xiao Jia will do some rough work, just like when he was in Sweet Water Well Street.

Although the Seventh Master's family is wealthy, he always feels uncomfortable living in someone else's house. She had already inquired about more than a hundred taels of silver to buy a small yard with a patio, but the location was a little bit and the house was older; But what does it matter, as long as it's your own home, it's better than anything else.

Willow Branches imagined him coming back, bringing hot food and hot rice to feed him, watching him gobble up, and listening to him say that it was delicious. During the day, the two of them worked together in the small shop, where can he do more than the shrimp, and the business will definitely be more prosperous with his help; And at night, they pillowed his arm, and the two of them whispered, this is husband and wife.

Thinking about it, I inevitably blushed and fidgeted a little. Before, with the temperament, sometimes I didn't know how to throw the dishes and chopsticks and roll to the bed, and he didn't have a time to eat, but I didn't like it... Oh, I can't think about it anymore, the sun is so bright in the sky.

Liu Zhi patted his face gently, and pouted his mouth and spat him in his heart, blaming him, running so far, what's the use of just thinking about it, thinking about it is in vain.

Seeing that her business is good, plus this steamed vegetable is not difficult and trouble-free, not to mention the increase in restaurants on the side, and simply open one exactly like her. The shrimp was very angry, and the willow branch was not happy, but there was no way, the road was facing the sky, and people were selling it in their own shops, so you couldn't control it. In the end, it was affected by something.

Thinking about a way, Aunt Xu took her to a small market to see if she had found anything. The so-called small market is actually a group of people from a nearby fishing village selling some seafood in front of the Dragon King Temple at the head of the village. These people are either dragged down at home and inconvenient to leave for too long, or they are extremely poor and unable to pay the few pennies to sweep the street, although there is no land fee for setting up stalls in the city, and finding a free place that does not hinder the stall is, but always to give filial piety money to the officials in charge of patrolling the streets, which are all conventional, called sweeping money.

Willow Branch held the basket, not caring that the still wet bamboo basket wet her clothes. Everything was ordinary seafood, a bundle of kelp, a few dried fish, a basket of shrimp skin, live fish, live shrimp and shellfish, and small pots packed with bubbles spitting out bubbles. The strange thing is that no one is guarding the stall, so I see a bamboo tube on the side of the goods, open an opening, take something and put the copper plate in it.

"W-how much does this cost?" Willow Branch was surprised.

Aunt Xu introduced: "We all know, the sea vegetables are a bundle of money, the bundle of fish is five dollars, and this bundle of three dollars is enough." ”

"What if someone takes something for nothing and doesn't give money? Or take the bamboo tube away? ”

"As soon as the lady heard this, she knew that she was from out of town, this is in front of the Dragon King, who dares to do something wrong?"

······

Surprised to be surprised, willow branches picked up, not much things are not good, but it is cheaper, in fact, this small market originally had the meaning of "in front of the dragon king, look at it", and estimate it by yourself. She bought a large basket of shrimp skin, two jars of shrimp paste, and a few bundles of dried fish, which was very rewarding.

Willow branch is the strongest in seasoning, after all, she is a little daughter, and she can't really get started with the big pot and big stove, so she must have a stove. Shrimp is a thing, the taste is fresh, she grinds the shrimp skin into powder, no matter what she does and adds a little, the taste immediately upgrades two grids. In particular, the shrimp skin is salty, and the salt is saved. Everyone was happy. Throttling is also one of the solutions.

Willow decided to make the shrimp powder her secret weapon, and she also pondered a little other to make the ultimate flavor that no one else could imitate.

At this time, Mrs. Seven had good news and found a suitable property. There was a tea merchant in Liufu Lane who wanted to sell his house and go back to his hometown, and when Mrs. Seventh got the news, she asked the housekeeper to accompany Liu Zhi to see it.

I saw a very small two-in-a-yard, measured a total of half an acre and a point away, it is also considered to be complete, the pattern of horizontal three vertical four, the five-step wide yard can not plant trees, the shelf is planted with the common Lingxiao flowers here, and the extremely thin one flower is planted with book belt grass and various orchids, adding an elegance. Xingrui was already enchanted, and opened her mouth and said, "Lady, you can grow some onions and garlic by pulling out that flower." ”

Willow Branch: ······

This Lukfook Lane is not far from West Street, and it takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk past. Most of them are small and medium-sized businessmen who bought a place to settle down in Nanquan, so they are not big, nor are they very luxurious, and the furniture is all suitable, all of which are jujube wood, although durable, it is not worth taking away thousands of miles. The willow branch was a happy man, and he cut it from two hundred taels of silver to one hundred and sixty taels, and brought all the furniture, and counted the silver tickets on the spot, and the two sides made a deed.

When Li Chun left, he left a bag of broken silver for Willow Branch, but Willow Branch used her own private money to buy a house, so she was so upset, she thought about how to show off when Li Chun came back, well, if he treats himself badly in the future, he can still yell at him very angrily This is the house I bought, you get out. Oh, it's a little bit of a little bit to look forward to it, but the question is when he's going to be bad.

There is no difficulty in waiting for the days of having your own home, and the willow branch thanked the seventh wife and moved with the little apricot to move on a certain day. Mrs. Seventh also gave her a mother-in-law and a letter of twenty taels of silver, saying that it was a custom here, and gave her a gift money for warming the house.

Willow Branch also seriously asked Xingrui to write it down, human love, but if you have to come and go, you have to learn to be a housewife and start a family!
