Chapter 23 Establishment of the Workshop

Now that he suddenly saw such a large group of fireflies, Qi Ling felt that he had found the feeling of being a child.

She picked a few "lantern flowers" from the grass, and the buds of these flowers were so large that they looked like small lanterns on the branches before they opened.

Qi Ling turned his head and looked at Gu Jinfeng with a pleading face. "You help me catch the fireflies, please, please."

Qi Ling took out the eyes of a child who had seen it in modern times and looked at Gu Jinfeng. This kind of look Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that Qi Ling was about to open his mouth to speak again, he nodded directly, for fear that Qi Ling would look at him with that innocent expression like just now.

With Gu Jinfeng's help, the two of them began to catch fireflies.

Qi Ling's movements were too slow, and he always had no time to put his hand on the firefly's side before it noticed it and flew away.

But Gu Jinfeng grabbed one accurately, and when he caught it, he held his palm and put it in Qi Ling's hand, and Qi Ling put all the fireflies into the lantern flower.

It wasn't until he put a few lantern flowers in and a lot of fireflies that Qi Ling asked Gu Jinfeng to stop.

The fireflies still glow in the lantern flowers, and the few lantern flowers are lit up like real small lanterns.

Carrying these firefly lamps, the two returned home, and after a hurried wash, the two of them each lay down on their respective beds.

Qi Ling hung the firefly lamp beside him, and slowly fell asleep in those lights, in his dream, he was running in a pile of fireflies, and Gu Jinfeng was smiling and looking at himself next to him.

When he got up the next day, Qi Ling planned to get the workshop done today.

She went to Peach Blossom's house early, and she planned to ask Peach Blossom to help her find some workers in the workshop in the village.

"Peach Blossom, I'm going to open a small workshop, specializing in the kind of rouge and gouache I gave you last time, do you want to help me?" Qi Ling asked Peach Blossom.

"What, make rouge and gouache, okay, Sister Ling, you are simply amazing, you don't know that I have used the things you gave me to apply makeup these days, and many people say that I have become beautiful when I go out!"

Peach Blossom said this, a little shy, in the end, she is a young girl, and she still cares about the eyes of others.

Especially because of the dark skin of the peach blossom, she has a little inferiority complex on weekdays, and she hardly goes out, since she has been modified with gouache, her complexion has become a lot whiter, and standing with others, it does not look special.

"Really, that's great, I'm going to make other things in the future, I promise, I'll leave you some of everything, and make our peach blossoms the prettiest one in the village!" Qi Ling quipped.

Seeing that the relationship between the two of them is so good, Aunt Zhao is also very happy next to her.

"But, Peach Blossom, can you help me find some people in the village to work in the workshop, and I will give fifty copper plates every day, do you think this price is okay?"

Qi Ling didn't know how much it would cost to hire a worker now, so he asked.

Aunt Zhao next to her heard it and hurriedly picked up: "Fifty copper plates, so many, I go to do chores for others in the kitchen every day, only thirty copper plates a day, and I do the hardest and most tiring work, Miss Qi Ling, how do you look at me, can I also go to work with you?" ”

When Peach Blossom heard Aunt Zhao say this, she also looked at Qi Ling with pleading eyes.

Since Peach Blossom's father fell ill, the family relied on Aunt Zhao to work alone, in addition to farming, she often went to other people's homes to do work and earn some money to supplement the family.

"Aunt Zhao is coming, that's great, but there are still not enough people, I need about seven or eight people in this workshop, Peach Blossom and Aunt Zhao, you two help me find a suitable one in the village."

Hearing Qi Ling say that she could also go, Aunt Zhao smiled on her face, when the time comes, her daughter and herself will each earn a share of money, and the family will not have to be so nervous, maybe you can save some dowry for Peach Blossom.

However, she didn't want to tell Peach Blossom that such a big girl would be very shy when it came to dowry or something.

Peach Blossom saw that Qi Ling promised her mother that she could also go together, and conveyed her gratitude to Qi Ling with her eyes.

Sister Ling is simply too good, I must repay her in the future, Peach Blossom swore silently in her heart.

Qi Ling thought about it for a while, and then said a few more words: "The people who are invited, it is best to be quick with hands and feet, clean and exquisite, and the rest, Aunt Peach Blossom Zhao, the two of you will discuss." ”

The two nodded, and said that they would not live up to Qi Ling's expectations and would definitely find someone well.

Looking at the energetic appearance of the two, Qi Ling said: "Okay, when the time comes, after finding someone, I will wrap a red envelope for each of the two of you!" ”

After solving the manpower problem, Qi Ling began to think about the hillside again.

I still have to find Gu Jinfeng to help me buy that piece of land first, so as not to have any baskets in it, and it will not be good at that time.

Gu Jinfeng had already promised to help Qi Ling yesterday, so after listening to Qi Ling's request, he took Qi Ling and the two of them walked towards the Li Chang's house together.

When he arrived at the governor's house, Gu Jinfeng first greeted him very politely, and then led the topic to buying land.

"Chief, I think the field with wild flowers on the winter hillside in our village is good, I don't know how much it will cost to buy that land?" Gu Jinfeng asked.

Li Chang touched his long beard and took out an account book from the table, which recorded the idle land, location, area, and price of Gujia Village.

After looking through it for a while, the old chief finally found it.

"Gu boy, that piece of land, first, you can't farm, and second, you can't plant trees, what do you want to buy it for? If you have money, you can't spend it like this! The lieutenant chief advised Gu Jinfeng.

Qi Ling was a little anxious when he heard this, and couldn't help but say to the chief: "Chief, you better tell us how much it costs to buy that piece of land first!" ”

Seeing that the two of them insisted on buying, the chief could only give up and persuade him, and stretched out a finger.

"A hundred taels? That's too expensive, isn't it? Qi Ling thought that he only meant a hundred taels compared to one.

But seeing that the chief shook his head, "Little girl, you have misunderstood, this is the meaning of ten taels." ”

The price of ten taels is acceptable for Qi Ling.

She was about to give Gu Jinfeng a hint to buy it quickly, but Gu Jinfeng shook his head at her.

What do you mean? Qi Ling was very puzzled.

Gu Jinfeng said coldly: "The chief must have been dizzy for a while, he saw it wrong, when did the price of wasteland rise to ten taels." ”

Seeing Gu Jinfeng say this, Li Chang didn't dare to play any tricks anymore, "Sure enough, I was wrong, this piece of land, three taels of silver is enough, oh, it's old, and my eyes are spent." ”

Qi Ling secretly complained, you are a good leader, and you want to raise the price, it's too shameless!
