Chapter 186: Hurrying to open a business
"Of course, otherwise how can you call a miracle doctor." Mrs. Li was saved twice by Dr. Zhang, and she respects the old man.
But thinking of the Guo family, she asked again, "How did that Guo Qing judge, Mr. Guo is also paralyzed, what about a little grandson." ”
Jiayin touched the small wooden horse stuffed in his purse, and he was also worried about Guo Wenhao.
Li Laosi responded, "Guo Qing has been sentenced to death, and those Jianghu people are also being arrested. The Guo family is not short of money, and Mr. Guo also has a few friends, presumably it will not be too bad in the future, at least he can raise his children. But I don't know how many years Mr. Guo can hold on. ”
Everyone sighed, "The most pitiful thing is still the child." ”
"Yes, evil."
"This Guo Qing is really lacking in morality, although he has retribution now, he is also harmful, and those people in the Guo family will not survive."
Mrs. Li suddenly remembered her eldest grandson, and she was worried again, "Something happened to the Guo family, and the academy can no longer be opened, where is Jiaren going to study?" ”
Mrs. Cui smiled and comforted, "Auntie, don't worry, the literary style in Jiangnan is thriving, and there are many academies in the first place, so there will be no shortage of places for Jiaren to study." Besides, there is also a senior brother, he will definitely arrange it for Jiaren. ”
Mrs. Li was relieved at this time, but Zhao Yuru mentioned another thing, "Will those people from the rivers and lakes who have been tracked down come to take revenge on our village?" ”
Li Laosi nodded, "Third sister-in-law, don't worry, Mr. Wen also thought of this, he hid our village when he was in the mansion, outsiders only know that we happened to meet the Guo family who was killed and helped to bury it, but I don't know that it was us who exposed Guo Qing."
"That's it, Mr. Guo suspected that we were killing people and robbing money, so naturally he couldn't say it explicitly, but he indirectly helped him. However, our village is also safer. Liu Dangtou and I went to see the village chief, and we should be more careful in this section of the village, just in case. ”
"Okay, it's the same in our family, the children have to tell it, don't run around and let people take advantage of the loopholes."
"Tomorrow the valley will welcome guests, and you will have a few more eyes."
Everyone discussed a few words, and they knew what they knew.
Early the next morning, before it was dawning, the whole village got up.
Sweep the courtyard, sweep the road, boil water and eat, and then go to the valley to welcome the guests.
Of course, it is impossible for more than 100 people to be crowded into the valley to work, and most of the people should go to the fields and the orchards.
In the valley, only Li Lao Er took the lead, bringing a dozen and a half children such as An Jiaxi, plus seven or eight women who were neatly dressed.
The first wave of guests arrived.
The couple brought a little girl and four slaves.
Seven people gave food as tickets, and then they were ushered in.
They ordered a small wooden house, saying that it was a small wooden house, but in fact, the space was not small, there were three rooms.
One is a stone pool for bathing, one is an inner room for resting, and one is for entertainers.
Yan Gongzi didn't know where to find the craftsman, and he was extremely skillful.
The bathing room has a window with a specially woven straw curtain on the window, so that you can see clearly from the inside and outside, and the moisture can escape, but you can't see the inside at all.
As long as a servant woman is sent to guard the window, the hostess inside can take a bath, enjoy the scenery, and watch the excitement without worrying about running out.
The bathing pool is paved with bluestone, and the water is also long-flowing, so it will be warm and clean at all times.
As soon as you enter the door, half of the room is covered with fairy mist, and the pool is full of hot spring water, which is really hard to jump in.
The man was not afraid of being rude, and preferred to be spacious and comfortable, so he took his gauze and went to the waterhole.
There is a large stone on the side of the pool, and when you sit on it, the spring water soaks right under your chest.
Drinking tea and gossiping, basking in the sun, full of mountain flowers and pond water, not to mention how comfortable.
There are also a few small canoes on the other side, ready for children to play with, because of the rope, they can only row a few feet away, but they are not afraid of running into the deep water area and causing accidents.
While the family of four was wandering around the valley, the rest of the guests also came one after another.
Soon, all the little yards and cabins came into the guests.
Some people brought many slaves, and some people came quietly with one master and one servant.
There are also people who don't book wooden houses and small courtyards, and just want to come in and see something new.
Li Lao Er only picked up more than 30 individual customers, and then closed the fence gate.
It's not that I don't want to collect grain, I don't want to make money, but if there are too many people, it's easy to cause chaos.
In particular, the core of the whole valley is bathing, once something goes wrong, either the women's name festival is ruined, or the men's reputation is ruined.
Fortunately, the more than 30 individual guests who were put in would come out at dusk, and they would not stay overnight, and the guests who had booked the wooden house and the small courtyard could walk more freely in the valley.
When there are more people, there are naturally more things.
This small cabin needs mosquito coils, that small courtyard needs clean water, and the pool needs tea.
Jia An Jiaxi and other naughty boys have been promoted from old melon farmers to errand boys, and they are also busier.
Jiaren helped his father keep accounts, and Jiayi and Liu Yang became the leaders of the naughty boys.
The women were responsible for boiling tea and taking care of the women.
Although it was the first time to work, I was a little in a hurry, but fortunately, everyone came for leisure, and no one was particularly anxious.
The tea is a little late, and the thing is sent wrong, and I won't complain.
At the edge of the pool, the men sat side by side, their coats were removed, and everyone seemed to have become the same, without distinction between high and low.
When you are thirsty, you share a pot of tea, and when you are bored, you gossip, but there is a strange closeness to each other.
Seeing that it was noon, someone called out to the young man, "We didn't bring a cook and a lady, can you provide food here?" ”
Without waiting for the young man to speak, someone else responded, "Yes, I also want to ask about it, the day before yesterday I was gossiping with a few friends and drinking tea, I heard that there are descendants of the imperial chef in this broken golden beach, and the craftsmanship is quite good, so I look forward to trying it!" ”
"Yes, there are still royal chefs here? Then we're in for a treat! ”
Everyone was happy, and they all asked the young man to inquire.
This young man was none other than Jia'an, and when someone praised his mother, of course he was happy, and almost ran to the hut at the mouth of the valley to report the news.
Li Lao Er had a headache, I thought that the guests would bring their own snacks and food, so suddenly they had to eat here, which was a little difficult to arrange.
After thinking about it, he asked people to call the village chief and Tao Hongying over.
Jiayin was bored at home, and asked her mother to go to the valley to see the excitement, Tao Hongying was busy with something, so she carried her daughter and coaxed her to work at the same time.
At this time, Li Lao Er asked Tao Hongying to be a cook, but Jiayin was very happy.
Tao Hongying couldn't, patted her daughter angrily, said a word to Mrs. Li, and went to the valley.
The village chief is a man of action, and he has already led people to start building an earthen stove, and Li Laosan has already gone to Xiaowang Village to buy ingredients with a mule cart.
Fortunately, the pig was killed the day before yesterday, and there was still some pork and leftovers, which could be used for emergency purposes at this time.
Tao Hongying listed the menu at that time, all of which were simple and delicious.
After all, it's too simple to cook too complicated dishes......
Minced pork and tofu, scrambled eggs with mountain leeks, stewed mushrooms with chicken, stir-fried fungus with cabbage, radish ball soup.
Today's tentative five dishes, the ingredients are easy to buy, the meat and vegetables are complete, and they can also be paired with four set meals.
