The old man walked around the house with his hands behind his back, and finally said, "I'll go back to the patriarch and let the people of the clan do it.

"As for the craftsman who can carve, the second child will find someone you know, our family will pay for wages or food, and the price will be set by you."

Tai Jizong immediately responded, "Okay, Dad, I'll go find someone." ”

Tai Jizu also said, "Dad, you can't walk at night by yourself, so let Yongan go back with you." ”

The old man waved his hand and said very arrogantly, "The Min family has given so much deposit, how can I wronged myself?" This time, the carriage was hired to come and go conveniently, and it did not delay the effort. ”

Everyone laughed along, indeed, compared to the salary of dozens of taels of silver, the dozens of wen for hiring a carriage are nothing.

Soon, the old man and Tai Jizong went out together, and while the city gate was not closed, they hired two carriages to act separately.

When Tai Jiye came back from Min's house, he heard that his father and second brother had gone to find a helper, but he was so happy that he hurriedly pulled his eldest brother and sister-in-law to discuss.

The Min Mansion is five in front and back, covering a large area, if they are all dressed up with ice lamps, the exhausted Tai family will not be able to do it.

Fortunately, the Min family also knew that time was a little tight.

Therefore, it is only necessary to decorate the main courtyard of the banquet guests, and the road to the garden of the main courtyard, plus the garden. But even with this simplification, no less than 200 ice sculptures are needed.

The most important thing is that the river outside the city is too small, so it's better to take less ice.

If it is adopted in large quantities, it will have to go to the river fork twenty miles away.

Although I will have a headache tomorrow, at least the old man has solved the manpower matter......

The north wind howled through the mountain village, and mischievously lifted a corner of the roof of a certain grass house, and just as it was about to make trouble and revel, a carriage entered the village.

Nowadays, every family can't eat enough, so naturally there is no surplus food to raise dogs, and there is no dog barking to report the news.

The courtyard door of Tai Sanye's family was slammed, and all the old and young were shocked, not understanding what was happening.

When I had to welcome Mr. Tai into the door, and then look at the carriage waiting outside, the old and young were even more curious.

Tai Jicai, the eldest son of Tai Sanye, asked directly, "Sixth uncle, have you made a fortune?" ”

Old man Tai laughed, but he didn't mind that he was reckless, and then took his brother's hand and said, "Third brother, that kid is unreliable, and he always gets into trouble on weekdays." But this time he was lucky to find a good errand, and his step-ancestor and step-ancestor were both in the city to help, but there were still not enough manpower.

"I want to find 20 good people in the village to help dig and transport ice cubes, about three or four days, our family is responsible for food and housing, and the salary can be calculated according to 30 wen a day, and you can also give 3 catties of sorghum rice.

"Look at who's going to move someone and help me out."

And this good thing?!

Tai Sanye was so happy at that time that he directly registered his two sons in the family.

It's cold in winter, not everyone wants to be cold and hungry at home, and there is really no way to make money.

Now that the work is delivered to the door, it can not only bring out a mouth, save food for the family, but also earn food back, which is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing!

After a while, the heads of each family were shouted, yawned, shrunk their necks, and gathered at Tai Sanye's house.

As soon as Tai Sanye told the matter, sure enough, the remaining dozen places were contested.

In the end, it was Old Man Tai who spoke, gathered the clansmen who were still strong and strong, and grabbed a bunch of long and short wooden sticks to draw lots.

The long sticks enter the city, and the short sticks wait for the next time.

Needless to say, the winning hands danced, and the missing hands hung their heads.

Just after midnight, the people took their tools and hurried to the city in a carriage.

Outside the city gate, he happened to meet Tai Jizong again, and he also found five or six familiar craftsmen......

As soon as the city gate opened, Tai Jiye rushed back.

He also hired seven or eight board trucks and rushed directly to Jiangchazi with everyone.

I thought it would be very laborious to get ice, but I didn't expect that the city defense battalion not far away was digging ice and fishing.

I didn't catch a few fish, but the ice was thrown to the ground.

Tai Jiye's clever mouth, how can there be anything that can't be done.

It was just a piece of broken silver that was stuffed into the lieutenant in charge, and the ice cube was left to them to pull back.

If that's not enough, the soldiers can help dig more......

The way things went was beyond everyone's expectations, and it made everyone motivated.

Before noon, the first ice cubes had already been transported into the city gates.

This is not the same as yesterday's small fight in the cart of ice, such a big battle, almost the whole city paid attention.

Someone asked, Tai Jiye no longer hid it, and responded generously, "We are running an errand for the Min Mansion, the birthday of the Miss Min family is coming, there is no beautiful scenery in such a winter, and the Lord and Mrs. of the Min Mansion love their daughter, so they ordered us to create a novel and beautiful ice garden!" ”

Ice Garden?!

Even if you don't see it, just listening to three words is enough to make people yearn for it.

The winter is boring, and the rich and idle people are afraid that there is nothing new to see, and they can't miss it when they know it.

As a result, the Min family received news from some families one after another, and they all came to congratulate their daughters on her birthday.

The Min family sent someone to inquire, and only then did they know that it was the Tai family's troubles.

You must know that if you accumulate virtue and do good deeds at home on weekdays, you may not earn back much prestige.

Now it's because of a few ice lanterns that it's done......

So, Steward Min was approached by the master, who was specifically responsible for staring at the Tai family to make ice lanterns, and there must be no mistakes.

You know, the county magistrates have asked people to hand over the post, and when the time comes, bring the children at home to congratulate them, and enjoy the lanterns by the way!

Steward Min simply wore thicker, brought two small servants, and was stationed in the north of the city to break the courtyard.

When a batch of ice lanterns is ready, a batch will be pulled away, and there will be no delay!

The Tai family, young and old, didn't expect this errand to be so high-profile, they all cheered up, and everyone was busy with their feet not touching the ground.

More than 30 people eat together, and take turns to live in the big kang of the east and west houses at night.

Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang took Yongning to take care of chores, and they really wanted one person to be used for ten people.

Thereupon......

Zhuzhu sat in the arms of Steward Min, holding snacks in her little hands, and smiling as she ate.

One moment look at this side, the other look at that side, like a little hamster sneaking out to eat, with a bulging face, very cute.

Steward Min pulled up his big from time to time to cover the fat girl's cold wind, for fear that she would freeze.

There was also a brazier next to the chair, burning red charcoal, and it was not cold at all.

Yang Lihua boiled the hot water and brought it out, she was very embarrassed to see this, and stepped forward to thank her.

"Steward Min, this girl in my family has caused you trouble."

Steward Min smiled and waved his hand, and responded, "Sister-in-law Tai, don't be polite, my daughter is also so old, but it's a pity that she was sent to her hometown early and is not by my side." When I saw Zhuzhu, I felt kind!

"Besides, Zhuzhu has helped me a lot. She said that the beautiful lamp is not something that our young lady likes. It can be seen that the eyes of children are all the same! ”

Zhuzhu held the snack and smiled at her mother, revealing two rows of little white teeth......

While the villagers were busy, they couldn't help but envy when they saw this situation.

The sixth uncle's family is really lucky, not to mention the errands he received in the city, and the people who came and went were all nobles!
