Chapter 80: Busy Making Money
When he got home, Fang Shi was a little puzzled when he saw this little girl.
Liu Man'er told Fang the origin of this floating green, and when she said that this little girl was the next person she bought, Fang was shocked, "Man'er, you child, how dare you buy someone to go home?" ”
"Why, can't you?" When Liu Man'er saw Fang's reaction, she looked at Ye Yuan, "The country has a law, can't a farmer like us buy people?" ”
Ye Yuan shook his head.
Fang Shi said, "It's not that you can't, it's just that in our village, except for this rich man, no one has ever called a slave to call a maid, including the Li Chang's family, why do you rush to buy people?" ”
"Why don't you dare?" Liu Man'er laughed, "I bought the little girl back to serve you, now that the farming has passed, our family will be busy building a house during this time, and I plan to open that small workshop again, when the time comes, someone will have to do these housework, this little girl is quite good at housework, right?" ”
After hearing Liu Man'er's words, Fulu nodded busily like a chicken pecking rice, and said to Fang's again, "Old lady, please don't drive me away, Fulu can do anything." ”
"I'm not trying to drive you away, it's just that our family is in this situation, if you buy someone, you really let others say it." Fang Shi said with some embarrassment, she is a good-looking person, and she also likes to keep a low profile, if such a thing as buying people is known by the villagers, then the surrounding village will have to spread all over the village.
"Fulu, then I also told you on the road, you will be a distant relative of my family in the future, you will call me cousin, call him cousin-in-law, call me my mother and cousin in the future, do you know? You can't say anything, or my family won't want you. ”
Liu Man'er turned her head to look at Fulu and admonished, and said threateningly, "Your deed of sale is still in my hands, if I don't want you, then you have no way out." ”
"Don't worry, the slave won't." Floating Green hurriedly said.
Liu Man'er listened and said, "There are no rules in our family, as long as you are diligent and fast, life is very good, you say that your family is poor, at least you are in my house, you can still eat enough, and you don't have to call yourself a slave in the future, just call yourself by your own name." ”
"Floating Green knows." The girl nodded again.
Liu Man'er stretched out her hand and touched her head, then pointed at Ye He and said, "She is the eldest lady of our family, called Ye He, one year younger than you, you call her cousin when there is someone, and you can call her Miss when there is no one." ”
"Well, call me by my name." After Ye He listened to Liu Man'er's words, he smiled a little shyly: "I must not be used to you calling me Miss." ”
"It's okay, when our family has built a house, my sister-in-law will buy some people to come back, and you will get used to it then." Liu Man'er said with a smile.
Immediately afterwards, she introduced Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng to Fulu, and then this Fulu could be regarded as having met everyone, and she came to the Ye family in the future.
Liu Man'er asked her to sleep with Ye He temporarily, she asked Ye He to take the floating green and teach her to do the housework in the house, and the housework will be handed over to this floating green in the future.
And Liu Man'er has been busy drawing pictures these days, she found a piece of paper, drew a lot of sachet shapes on it, and dotted the corners with patterns, she asked Ye He to practice these small tricks on the paper now, she plans to reopen this sachet shop.
The last time I went to the county seat, the feedback was very good, since there is no new idea for the time being, why not go back to the old business, Fang heard Liu Man'er say that her small handicraft workshop is going to be reopened, so she volunteered to help her call someone.
This time, Liu Man'er also invited a carpenter to help Ye Yuan cut wooden beads, so that she and Ye Yuan could still be busy with other things every day.
Now the big thing in the house is still the house, because after there is a little girl, the house at home is more and more insufficient, now Ye He's room is used as a small workshop, Ye He still sleeps with Fang's, this little girl can only support a small bed in Fang's room.
Fortunately, this little girl has endured hardships, and she has no complaints about Liu Man'er's arrangement, but these days, she is used to the life of the Ye family, and feels that the life is much better than she imagined, the main family is very easy-going, sometimes she finishes her work, and no one says anything about her after resting for a while, the important thing is that she can eat enough.
In this day and age, being able to eat enough is a great satisfaction for many people.
Liu Man'er bought Fulu alone for the time being, and she didn't want the master and servant to have a different set, so she asked Fulu to eat with them, but Fulu herself was very sensible, and every time she took some vegetables to the stove house to eat, which made Fang's pity for this girl again, every time she would fill her with a bowl of rice and sandwich meat for her.
When Fang did this for the first time, she was moved to tears by this floating green, she didn't expect that she could not only eat white rice, but also eat meat, this was really an excellent life.
However, Fang's didn't expect that in her life, she would be able to make a little girl.
She is a person who can't be idle, if it weren't for the fact that she has been busy with the small workshop recently, she must not let the floating green do these housework, but because she is busy with the small workshop, the arrival of the floating green has indeed made her a lot more leisurely.
After all, there are quite a lot of people in the family, not to mention anything else, just these clothes at home will have to be washed for a long time, and now there is a little girl to help with housework, which is very good, at least Ye Yuan will no longer have to secretly help Liu Man'er wash clothes in the future.
This little girl is very diligent, but she is not very good at cooking, Liu Man'er taught her a few times, she learns quickly, sometimes she is afraid that her own cooking is not delicious, so she will help cut the vegetables, and then call Liu Man'er to come and fry, Liu Man'er also likes to fry her own vegetables, anyway, someone is burning the fire, and the vegetables have been cut and washed, but it doesn't take effort.
The days passed quickly, and as soon as the autumn wind blew, the grass on the side of the road turned yellow, and Liu Man'er asked Ye Yuan to burn the grass in the field by the river.
However, her words were known to Aunt Chunhua, who was making sachets at her house, and she told her not to burn them, and she wanted her husband to go there these days to cut some dongmao for firewood.
It's just a delay of a few days, Liu Man'er doesn't care, so he agreed, and then everyone in the village seems to know the news, and most of the people go to mow the grass, so that the grass in Liu Man'er's field has been almost cut.
Well, Liu Man'er herself didn't expect this situation, in her eyes, this thatch is an unwanted thing, but in the eyes of these villagers, after drying, it is a good match.
The villagers were asked to cut the grass for three days, and the remaining blades of grass were set on fire and all of them were burned down.
After burning all the grass, Liu Man'er was officially ready to build a house, she took advantage of the three days of effort, has drawn the pattern of the new home, two-story small building, the pattern of the courtyard, the front yard is planted with trees, planted with flowers, the backyard is also picked with flowers, planted with trees, digging ponds to raise fish, digging wells, planting vegetables, raising chickens and ducks, cattle and sheep.
Although her drawing skills are not very good, but not bad, she drew all the ideas about home in her mind on paper, and showed this drawing to her family, and the family was happy, I really hope that this paper thing can be realized immediately.
According to what Liu Man'er said, Ye Yuan began to go to the village to find someone to build a house, anyway, at this time, most of the villagers were already idle, and they could have a chance to make money, so why not? Ye Yuan gave a salary of twenty wen a day, and there were quite a few people who came.
So, Liu Man'er asked them to build a wall and a house at the same time, and dig a pond at the same time, and the three places were built together, so that the house could be built quickly.
While building a house, Liu Man'er asked Ye Yuan to go to the carpenter's house in the village to customize furniture, what shelves, beds, screens, desks, etc., these must be prepared.
And it takes a lot of time for the wooden floor to be done and polished smoothly.
Of course, these are not things, Liu Man'er's family has a lot of furniture to do, and this carpenter can introduce it to his acquaintances, but the biggest problem is that Liu Man'er wants to use everything well, so the problem is that her money may not be enough.
Rather lack than indiscriminate, this is her home, she wants to make everything better, save trouble in the future, if you don't have money, the furniture can be made slowly, anyway, it takes time to build a house and clean up the yard.
Although this yard has been burned by fire, it is still a mess, of course, this matter is not in a hurry, first build the house, and then ask someone to clean up this yard.
Now my first goal is to make money.
Thinking of making money, Liu Man'er's head spun quickly, except for the small handicraft workshop for the time being, it seems that she really hasn't thought of any way to make money, and although her sachet can be sold, but the business is average, and now this scale is enough, unless she goes to open up the market again.
However, she is not very good at doing business, and she is not interested in fighting outside, she just wants to be with her family, not worrying about food and clothing, and being rich is safe.
In addition to going up to the mountains to hunt recently, Ye Yuan went to see the house, these people who built houses are all veterans, Ye Yuan asked one of his knowledgeable uncles, Ye Zhengshan, to help watch it, but there will be no problems.
Anyway, after Liu Man'er drew the drawings of the house, he discussed it with Ye Yuan again, and after making sure that there was no problem, he had already handed it over to Ye Zhengshan and others, and he only needed to take a look at it from time to time.
Ye Yuan went hunting, Liu Man'er also followed, she liked to stay with Ye Yuan, not to mention, with her by Ye Yuan's side, Ye Yuan's hunting efficiency improved gradually.
Sometimes she is bored in the mountains and has no prey for the time being, she will also ask Ye Yuan to teach her archery, although it is not very powerful, but after practicing a few times, aiming at still life is also a good practice.
Ye Yuan praised her for being smart and learning everything quickly, Liu Man'er felt that this was entirely the credit of her body, although she was thin but powerful, her eyes were bright, and her ears were even more sensitive, and once she actually shot a rabbit herself, which made Liu Man'er very happy.
But Liu Man'er was happy, and Ye Yuan was sad, "Man'er, you can do everything, do you need me in the future?" ”
"Of course you do, you're the pillar of our family." Liu Man'er replied seriously, "With you, I will feel very relieved." ”
"That's good." Although Ye Yuan replied like this, he was a little apprehensive in his heart, why was his little wife so capable, this really made him feel helpless, sometimes he really wished she could be stupid.
