"Nothing!" Old Man Tai diverted the conversation and instructed, "Third brother, I will follow the boss and them out of the city tomorrow to transport ice cubes, and the family will be handed over to you." Let's make money secondary, just watch everyone don't get into trouble. There are no people in the city who know each other, so we can't stand it. ”

"Don't worry, Sixth Brother, you just have to get busy. My old bones can still look at these stinky boys. Whoever dares not to work hard, who dares to cause trouble, see me clean them up! ”

Tai Sanye slapped his chest thumping, and the wrinkles on his face became deeper and deeper.

After eating for a while, Tai Jizu and Tai Jiye assigned everyone a place to sleep.

There are fifty or sixty people in total, and food and housing are a big project.

Fortunately, the hardships have passed for a long time, and no one picks.

You can have hot porridge when you eat, and you can have a hot kang when you sleep.

The wings of the neighbors on the left and right are broken in the courtyard, and the east house here is stuffed with more than a dozen people, and it is warmer to sleep next to each other.

I have to say that Tai Jiye is indeed suitable for business, and his brain is much more flexible than ordinary people.

Today, he followed Steward Min to the county government and several large households, and ordered out more than 200 ice sculptures.

He pondered and pondered, and he should put the county government in front.

It's not just about stammering, it's the best for your own family.

So, when everyone else was asleep, he dragged his brothers and nephews in the yard and continued to toss.

Zhuzhu is so lively, and she has to go out to help.

Yang Lihua was afraid that she would freeze her daughter, so she hugged her and coaxed her, and she was still busy making needlework in her hands.

When the old man Tai saw it, he put his granddaughter on his back, walked around the floor of the hall, and told the fat girl old stories.

Soon, the fat girl was lying on her grandfather's shoulder and yawning......

Everyone was busy until the second half of the night, barely squinting and sleeping for an hour, and then the sky was bright.

Tai Jiye got up and was about to run out, but Yang Lihua pulled his sleeves.

"Wait, the third child!"

Yang Lihua took out a new jacket that she had sewn last night, a pair of black-faced cotton boots, and a small hat.

"Try these first, you will always be out and about in the future, and you will not let those well-dressed minions slack off."

After that, she took her daughter and went out.

Tai Jiye was so happy, his jacket and pants were actually not bad, but they were ruined when he was beaten a few days ago.

I didn't expect my sister-in-law to think so thoughtfully!

In the hall, the old man, Tai Sanye and others were distributing today's work, and suddenly saw Tai Jiye come out dressed in a new outfit, and their eyes lit up.

"Oh, our family is dressed like this, it's really similar to the stewardship of those big families!"

Tai Sanye nodded and praised at the same time, and the others who provoked him also echoed him, and he was very envious.

Zhuzhu lay on her mother's shoulder, patted her little fat hand, and her big eyes bent up like a crescent moon with a smile.

"The third uncle is so good-looking!"

She tried to open her arms until she was held in the arms of the third uncle, and she was even happier when she carefully watched the gray gas on his head turn white.

"The third uncle is rich and eats meat!"

The milk dumpling clenched his little fist, cheered up his uncle, and finally kissed his uncle.

Tai Jiyemei's nose was almost bubbling, and she hugged her niece and ran around the ground several times, and finally handed her niece to her sister-in-law, promising in high spirits.

"Wait! The third uncle will go to talk about business and earn you a mountain of gold and silver back! ”

So he went out.

Old Man Tai asked, "Don't eat before leaving?" ”

"No, Daddy! I made an appointment with Steward Min to have morning tea, you go to get ice first, and the second brother will leave a few good hands at home, and I will come back in a while to take you to the county office. Let's show our faces! ”

Tai Jiye waved his hand and ran away in a hurry.

Old man Tai scolded with a smile, "Dead boy, I don't know what my surname is when you grow up!" ”

"What's your last name? Of course, it's the surname Tai! Tai Sanye glared at the old brother and said, "Don't come to the old generation, what you can't do if you don't beat it, it's all bullshit!"

"Our family is smart, don't be stupid! This time, he can take the villagers to eat for a few days, and next time he may be able to make a fortune with everyone and sell land and build houses! ”

Old man Tai is naturally happy that his son is out, but he knows his son too well, and if he doesn't beat him like this, I'm afraid that his son's tail will immediately rise to the sky!

Soon, everyone had breakfast, and Tai Jizu took most of the clansmen out of the city.

This time, there are no soldiers to help, and everyone has to work hard to chisel the ice.

And Tai Jizong really brought four of the best craftsmen to wait at home.

There are not enough ice cubes at home to carve large pieces, so they carve small things like lotus flowers.

Fortunately, in less than an hour, Tai Jiye came back, shouting at everyone to carry the two preliminarily formed lions last night onto the board car and pull them to the county yamen.

There were originally two stone lions in front of the county yamen, which were five feet high, which was very realistic and mighty.

But no matter how powerful they are, they won't shine at night.

So, Tai Jiye gossiped with the warden of the county yali room yesterday, and the first promise was to send two ice lions for free in front of the door!

In this way, everyone enters and exits at night, not to mention the brighter, but also full of pomp.

Of course, the warden was pleased, and everyone liked what didn't cost money.

Besides, whether to spend money or not is the pen in his hand has the final say, and it is very convenient to get three or five taels of silver into his pocket.

At this moment, as soon as the two ice lions the size of the stone lion were unloaded, they attracted the idle yamen in the yamen to watch the excitement, and even passers-by gathered more than a dozen.

Tai Jizong and a few craftsmen had never seen this formation, and their hands holding the tools were trembling.

Tai Jiye hurriedly cheered them up, "Brothers, it's a critical moment, don't be ashamed." How we carve at home, how we carve here! There is also a stone lion next to it as a reference!

What happens after our deal, it's all up to you! ”

Tai Jizong thought about the money invested in his family, as well as the daily food, drink and spending of dozens of clansmen, and he immediately got busy.

In this world, what is more terrible than power is poverty!

In order not to lose money, he let it go!

When the rest of the craftsmen saw him taking the lead, they all began to work with their heads bored.

After a while, the two ice lions slowly appeared, and they were exactly the same as the stone lions, and they could even be said to be exactly the same.

Some people praised, some people inquired, and it became more and more lively in front of the county yamen.

Last night, the Min family's wine banquet was in the limelight, and today the county government also followed suit with "great fanfare", and the news spread in an instant.

When Tai Jizu led people back to the city with a cart pulling ice, he originally thought that the guards would make it difficult and ask for some benefits.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers not only did not block the road, but also let the board car pass first.

Tai Jizu and the others were pleasantly surprised, and bowed again and again, and the soldiers shouted, "Hurry up and go, don't delay carving ice lanterns for the county master!" ”

Tai Jizu and the others quickly transported the ice cubes into the city, and Tai Sanye and the others were about to stretch out a small slap in their eyes.

When he saw the cart coming back, he immediately opened the courtyard door.

Soon the craftsmen warmed their hands and began to work......

Just after noon, Tai Jiye and Tai Jizong, as well as a few craftsmen, completed their tasks and returned from the government with ears full of praise.

The craftsmen are full of confidence, and Tai Jiye's proud tail is about to fly.

I don't want to, as soon as I turned into the alley, a few strong men blocked the way!
