Chapter 80: Going to the grain shop to do a day job
"Yes, hey, they were all forced out by Xue when they were children, as long as they don't make trouble for the old lady."
Tang Zangyue: "No trouble, of course no trouble." Don't patronize and say, hurry up and eat a peanut to taste, this boiled is eaten cold, and the taste is also good. This time, you sent Dr. Xue a lot of brine, and you boiled noodles in this brine at night, without adding water, and took them out after cooking, and the dishes inside also had a unique flavor. β
"Can you still eat it cold? That's rare. β
Dr. Xue doesn't have a heavy appetite, but the taste of peanuts is ...... Not bad indeed.
Seeing Dr. Xue squinting, obviously confused by the incense, Tang Zangyue said again: "After the boiled peanuts are dried, they are also released, and they are sent to relatives during the New Year's festival or something, and it is also very face-saving to send relatives in the pocket, and the picture is fresh." β
Doctor Xue thought to himself, didn't he come here to sell food?
Doctor Xue took the opportunity to say: "The old lady's stall is open in the market, right?" When the time comes, Xue asked his subordinates to take care of more business. β
"Hey, why do you need to take care of the business, it's just to make fresh money, eat every day, and don't get bored? Later, when the restaurant was opened, there were more options for eating, so Dr. Xue came. β
Doctor Xue was taken aback and said, "The old lady is going to open a restaurant in the future?" β
"Ah, didn't I say that?" Tang Zangyue pretended to be surprised, then smiled calmly and said, "It's okay, I'll say it now." β
"......" Dr. Xue couldn't explain.
How did opening a restaurant get to this person's mouth, as simple as eating a bowl of rice? Can't stock up on things in advance? Do you want to have access to fresh meats? There is also a thick family base, a unique taste......
The town has been monopolized by a restaurant, and the procurement of ingredients is also in the hands of that Yuan Yulang, if you really want to open a restaurant, isn't it fighting against the Bai Dongjia and making the conflict more intense?
Doctor Xue opened his mouth, not knowing if he had listened to the reminder last time. Does he want to remind him again?
Tang Zangyue seemed to see through what Doctor Xue was going to say, and said, "But it's too early to say this. Doctor Xue also knew that although we were white, we were also exiled here, and I relied on my identity as a doctor, but not many people said anything on the surface...... It's better to keep a low profile and wait for an opportunity. β
"When does Madame Donald feel that is the right time?"
Of course, it was to completely control the troops at the border pass, when the state of Chu collapsed.
Tang Zangyue smiled lightly and changed the topic: "Before the time is ripe, I hope that even if Doctor Xue knows about such a trivial matter as our Xiao family's excessive water use, he will not reveal it." β
Sidestep the question.
However, knowing that the inquiry could not get results, Dr. Xue responded with a smile: "Yingxue is not a child who talks much, even if it is her father's side, she also picks up small interesting things and says, and she has never mentioned it when she has studied hard, let alone revealed the situation of the Xiao family." Even if the old lady doesn't come, I also told the old lady to rest assured. β
Chewing on the root of other people's tongues is indeed not what everyone should do, Dr. Xue has a good education in this regard, and he has standardized Xue Yingxue's words and deeds since he was a child.
It's no wonder that Tang Zangyue felt that Xue Yingxue was not as good as the descendants of the Xue family, but she was particularly pleasing to the eye.
The other side.
Xiao Zhonglu, Xiao Zhongli, and Wang Xiaoliu, under the introduction of the gold carpenter, were tested by the shopkeeper in the grain shop, and then went to the countryside with other long-term workers and rushed to Qixiang Village to collect grain.
The grain shop harvests almost polished rice, and there are also coarse grains, but very little. First, the coarse grains are all eaten by the farmers themselves, and secondly, the grain shops collect them and sell them to the dignitaries.
In addition to buying grain in the village, the grain shop also has land in the local area, and long-term workers are recruited to farm. These long-term workers who farm land have no land of their own and cannot afford to buy land, so they can only help the landlord to plant. They were not paid, but only a few loads of grain at the time of harvest.
Xiao Zhonglu and the others are only responsible for transporting.
Although the grain shop includes a lunch and a copper plate, the oil and water are not as good as their own home.
After a few days, Aunt Liu was distressed, and the chopsticks went straight to the bottom of the bowl of the two brothers, "Eat more, look, they have lost weight." β
Tang Zangyue looked at it and felt that it was, so she asked Aunt Liu to make some meat buns, and let the three of them hide from others after moving the grain.
It's not that the grain is tired and thin.
For Xiao Zhongli and Xiao Zhonglu, ten bags of grain are less than the weight of a heavy weapon in the General's Mansion, and it is also the time when Xiao Zhongli returned to the General's Mansion late, and he has not played with heavy weapons for a few years, otherwise the strength can still be refined and refined.
The reason why the three of them died was that Qixiang Village was far away, and they needed to get up early and return late, so they could only make up for sleep in the carriage. But the carriage was bumpy, how many of them could fall asleep? They were all dazed, tossed a few times, and woke up. I woke up and fell asleep, and then I was awakened again, and I went back and forth, which led to some malaise, poor eating, and loss of appetite.
On the first day, the Xiao brothers would not complain to their families, but fortunately, there was also a Wang Xiaoliu who went with them.
Wang Xiaoliu's brain was more axial than Xiao Zhonglu, he couldn't turn a corner, he couldn't understand the look signal given by the Xiao family brothers, and under the threat of Tang Zangyue, 1510 reported the situation.
At the end, Xiao Zhongli said, "Grandmother, the purpose of you letting us do the short-term work...... If you back down now, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious. β
Tang Zangyue touched her chin and said, "Who said I was going to stop you from continuing to do short-term work?" β
After thatβ
Xiao Zhonglu and Xiao Zhongli each have a U-shaped pillow sewn by Mei Niang.
Not to mention, although the road is still bumpy and easy to make people sleepy and upside down, at least the neck doesn't hurt so much when you wake up.
There are one and two, Mei Niang smoked some cotton in the mattress, and also sewed a U-shaped pillow for Wang Xiaoliu, and other long-term workers in the same carriage followed suit.
They are all men who are immersed in work, and the initial communication was because of the novelty of the neck pillow.
Xiao Zhonglu is not good at words, and Wang Xiaoliu is helping the Xiao family to do things, so he doesn't dare to speak falsely. Before going out, my own lady also told me that I must do more things and talk less when I am outside, so as not to say the wrong thing and annoy the Xiao family.
He strictly followed the teachings of his mother and wanted to settle down in the Xiao family.
This time he was doing short-term work, and the shopkeeper of the grain store didn't look down on him, but Xiao Zhongli said it anyway, so he used him. After all, in terms of mind, he is not as smart as Xiao Zhongli, and his strength is not as big as Xiao Zhonglu, and there is no shortage of long-term workers in the grain shop, so he can accept the three of them, all because of the relationship between the relatives of the gold carpenter and the outstanding performance of the two brothers.
Thirty yuan a day, he carried it at the time, and when he came to Xiao's house in the evening, he gave the thirty yuan to Tang Zangyue as food. The latter only received fifteen wen, and said: "You keep fifteen wen, and the right should be the salary that the Xiao family paid you before." Charge you fifteen yuan, because you have nothing to do with the Xiao family to help the grain store this time, and the food money is just money. β
Therefore, his gratitude to the Xiao family is very heavy, so heavy that the lady says what he does.
The two of them didn't say anything, only Xiao Zhongli came out to negotiate.
Xiao Zhongli: "This is designed by our grandmother, and it is good for the cervical spine." β
"Your grandmother...... Is it a ready-to-wear shop? β
Isn't it related to the fabric shop? It's just that the ready-to-wear shops in the town haven't seen such a strange thing, I heard that it's still a neck pillow? Shouldn't pillows be used in bed? Can you use it while sitting?
Xiao Zhongli shook his head, "Definitely." My grandmother is a doctor and has studied this aspect a little bit, and knows how to take care of the body parts, so she let people make this neck pillow. Don't look at us as young and strong now, if we don't take good care of certain parts, it is easy to get old and suffer. β
"There is only one doctor surnamed Xue in the town, when will it ...... Oh, I remember, it's Dr. Tang from Jiuli Village, right? β
"Have you heard of my grandmother?"
"This is the one who can rob people at the ghost gate." The man gave a thumbs up.
