Syllable!

Yan Lao Er looked up and saw that the craftsman who was laying the tiles was not careful and stepped on a piece of tiles.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The other party apologized and turned around to see if he had hurt anyone below.

"Step on your feet, be careful." Yan Lao Er admonished.

The people above hurriedly responded, and when they turned around, they only saw a distant back.

Yan Lao Er walked to the official office and the public hall familiarly.

Today it is the turn of the errand house to be rebuilt, and all the paperwork is transferred to this office.

There are a lot of people in the church, and today is the day of the end of the three days, and the people come here early to receive wages and vouchers.

The wages paid by the government are not high, ranging from 5 to 20 yuan.

Twenty Wen wages are not available to ordinary people, so they have to be able to write and calculate.

The salary is less than that of the short-term work on weekdays, but the work assigned by the government is a long-term job, they have calculated in their hearts, and estimate that they can work until the month of Layue, and there will be no income in Japan in winter, and the work of the government has become the hope of the people.

The arrow towers in each village were completed ahead of the expected time, and there were not five like Xiao'an Village, and each village had one or two according to the number of people.

After a period of running-in, the people of Huju have adapted to the daily work point, the work to the wooden stick, and the life of the Huju City official settlement on three days.

Gradually, the people found that queuing at the government office on settlement day was time-consuming, and the strong laborers of the family did not come, but all the old people, women and half-grown children of the family.

They have a wooden sign with the name of the head of the household in their hands, and show it to the officials, who will point them to the paperwork for handling the accounts of the corresponding village or town, and line up in turn.

The team is in good order.

Check the wooden stick, register, and then find the name from the work sheet that came up, and compare the number of money, and the two phases are correct.

Another person next to him took back the wooden skewer and asked if he wanted to pay for his salary or buy food vouchers.

After deciding, write down the name, the amount of money and the amount of the voucher, cut the paper with a bamboo knife, and give it to the other party.

The latter took the slip and walked further back.

Today, it was Yan Hushu's turn to be on duty here, and there were two baskets behind him, filled with strings of copper plates.

Paying for the copper plate and the voucher, Yan Huaiwen put the note in the box at hand, took notes on the book on the table, wrote a full page, and then took out his private seal and printed it in the corner of the page.

】

Yan Lao Er approached quietly, and when he saw that he had a slight gap, he gently put down the honey water he brought.

Yan Huaiwen was accustomed to the hot drinks and food that his younger brother sent from time to time, and nodded at him.

Yan Lao Er grinned and left quietly.

The sweet taste escaped in his mouth, and Yan Huaiwen slowly narrowed his eyes.

Yan Lao Er left the lobby and went to the errand room.

The damaged houses in the city have been repaired, and it is finally the turn of the official office, and the same unbearable thing as the leaky roof is the heating of the entire official office.

In the backyard where the teacher lives, and the room where the servants rest, Yan Lao Er is in charge of the kang.

Then there is the transformation of the office space.

Places like errands and warehouses are not easy to have open flames, and the stove is good, but if it is accidentally kicked over, it is also a hidden danger, so Yan Laoer proposed to add bricks and a fire wall in the middle of the two adjacent errands.

The reduction in office space is nothing compared to the warmth of a cool room.

has been tinkering in the city, these people are working more and more neatly, and Yan Lao Er is satisfied.

I guess that it will be completed in the afternoon, but I am not in a hurry to move back, light a fire and bake, and then empty for another day, it will be almost the same.

And he went out of the side gate to the gate of the city.

Far away, I saw a few children in the village collecting firewood by the city gate.

Luo San set up a stall next to him to sell meat, and the sound of Chachacha sharpening his knife sounded very kind.

"Second Brother Yan!" Luo San's eyes were sharp, and he greeted him happily.

Several children also looked over, and Second Uncle Yan and Second Uncle Yan kept screaming.

"Alas, okay, bring gloves and hats, don't blow the wind." Yan Lao Er said to the children.

The adults had to train and hunt in the mountains, and they had to go everywhere to run and trade, so they showed these children again, and they took turns to gather firewood every day.

"What kind of meat is it today?" Yan Lao Er asked as he looked at the stall.

Luo San didn't come every day, and it was his turn in about five or six days.

It's just that the children go back and forth, and the village is not at ease, because there is an adult following every day.

If it's Luo San's turn, he will come over with meat.

Luo San said with a smile: "Hehe, a few days ago, I collected a few sheep at the big market, and sold them while raising them, they were just killed in the morning, they were very fresh, I brought sheep blood and haggis, they were all prepared for you Second Brother Yan, if you don't come, I will take them to Fucheng in the afternoon." ”

"Then hurry up and weigh me, your second brother Yan will open a show for you, haha!" As soon as Yan Lao Er heard that there was mutton, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Are there any ribs?" Give it to me too. ”

"Let Mrs. Rong stay, saying that she wants to keep it for your second child." Luo San said with a smile.

Yan Lao Er thought to himself that his daughter should be home soon, and Mama Rong estimated that she would make roast lamb chops for her......

Suck up!

"Then cut me another two catties of meat." Yan Lao Er said.

"Okay!" Luo San looked at the place, one size fits all, and the scale is high.

Yan Lao Er gave him a piece of broken silver, and Luo San found a copper plate for him.

Put two catties of mutton into the basket he brought and hand it to him, which contained the collected goat's blood and haggis.

"How's the firewood business going these days?" Yan Lao Er asked casually.

Luo San: "It's very good, basically let's pull it away, I think about waiting for Xiao Er to come back and talk to her, should it be a penny or two." ”

"Didn't you just go up at the beginning of the month?" Yan Lao Er asked.

After the family's firewood and charcoal business was handed over to the daughter, it was thriving, and it was no longer enough to satisfy her simply from collecting firewood from Huju to Yongning, and the four city gates of Fucheng were squatting and guarding the children of Xiao'an Village every day.

At first, the children didn't understand, they just listened to the words of Xiao Er, but gradually, there were fewer and fewer people squatting at the gate of the city to sell firewood, and they almost turned their backs and left for them.

After the monopoly, the first thing Yan Yu did was to raise the price.

A bundle of firewood is eleven wen, which is the price at the gate of the city.

With the help of the relationship between the three railways and the Ximen, a lump sum of money is handed over every month, and the firewood sales team in Xiao'an Village can enter and exit unlimited times a day.

Walk the streets and alleys to send it home, and carry it to the firewood room, and ask for fourteen yuan.

At the same time, charcoal is also sold together.

The price of the retail sale was higher, and it could be combined with three cents and seven cents per hundred catties of silver, and the last time he returned to the village, the mounds of charcoal burning in the forest were no longer visible......

"It's seventeen today, the weather is getting colder and colder, there are many people who use firewood, and charcoal is easy to sell, so I wonder if it should go up."

Yan Lao Er suddenly felt a chill on his face, and looked up.

The sky was overcast, the sun was covered with thick dark clouds, and the sporadic snowflakes fell down, and soon the sky was overturned and the earth was overturned.

"It's snowing again." Luo Sandi grunted, and found a clean cloth to cover the meat stall.

Check that the mule and donkey's cap is tightly fastened.

Then he walked to where the children were, took out the iron hook, and added two more pieces of charcoal to the stove.
