Chapter 65: Sixty-five Days of Becoming an Old Lady
"It's me."
The old lady nodded, looking at Wang Zhutou with some familiarity.
"You are ......"
"I went to deliver the good news of the head of the Hu case that day."
Wang Zhutou was worried that he had no chance to make friends with the Hu family, but now he caught up with the old lady of the Hu family in trouble, and it was the Hu family who took charge, so he naturally preferred the Hu family.
Zhang Gui on the side fell weakly by the door, like the old shopkeeper, he knew that this matter could not be done well today.
The identity of "Hu's grandmother and fourth uncle" made the old shopkeeper make a quick decision and immediately expelled Zhang Gui from "Lu Banxing". Those who don't know are not surprised, he really doesn't know that Zhang Gui is doing this kind of thing behind his back.
Apology, Remedy, Reparation...... As long as Hu Laosi is willing to return to "Lubanxing", he can do anything.
The old shopkeeper changed his arrogant posture and was so humble that he was about to fall to the dust.
There is a big gap between people before and after, and Hu Laosi's original mind about learning art in "Lu Banxing" has also faded. He came to learn the arts, but he really couldn't handle these relationships.
If he doesn't study here, where can he go?
The old lady gave him a move, it was better for them to open a shop by themselves, and Hu Laosi would be the shopkeeper.
Hu Laosi: "......"
I can't even think about it.
The old lady asked Wang Zhutou if he wanted to build a rice transplanter?
Receiving an affirmative reply, she is fully capable of making it herself. Anyway, the one used at home was made by Hu Laosi, and it is no problem to build a few more.
Wang Zhutou had already been instructed by the county magistrate to let him listen to the old lady. Now, Wang Zhutou has no objection.
This is a big deal for the old shopkeeper of "Lu Banxing", not to mention that the good order is gone, the old lady still has to compete with him.
"It's not easy to open a store, so it's better to go back to 'Lubanxing' first. If you have any problems in the future, is it too late to leave? ”
The old shopkeeper was afraid that Hu Laosi would open another stove and grab business with "Lu Banxing".
Since the business of the government is all done by "Lu Banxing", although Hu Laosi is a stunned young man, but Hu is not.
The fifteen-year-old head of the case will be able to go one step further sooner or later. Even the county magistrate is the object of stammering, who dares to bully at this time?
You can't bully, you can only persuade each other with good words.
The old shopkeeper said a lot of troublesome things about opening a store, and Wang Zhutou also deeply agreed with this.
The first step in opening a store is to find a suitable storefront, which has long been occupied in a good location, and it is useless to open a store in a bad location.
The old lady did not deny this, but she opened a store and had nothing to do with the location.
Doing things with the official family, the position is secondary.
The main thing is that the place should be big enough!
With Wang Zhutou's help, the old lady found a suitable store that day.
It also happened that the store was located at No. 1 Huaihua Street, the courtyard of the second entrance. The front yard faces the street and is suitable for opening a shop. The original owner moved his family, and as soon as the house was vacant, the old lady bought the house. There is also a king who catches the head and pulls the line, all of them are people who know the roots, and the original owner is very happy to pass the house.
Including the furniture inside, it cost a total of five hundred taels of silver.
When he saw the old lady take out five hundred taels of silver with real money, Wang Zhutou swallowed silently. The county magistrate also said that Hu's family was poor, and he gave him a hundred taels to make a good fate. As a result, the old lady shot for five hundred taels, without blinking her eyes. With such a large amount of money, how can the family be poor?
Wang Zhutou realized that the Hu family was not only the first Xiucai in the Hu case, but his uncle Hu Shanxing had been a Xiucai for 20 years.
It is said that "the poor show talent, the rich lift the people", although Hu Shanxing is a show talent, but who let the family marry a good wife? The Qin family is a good hand in both housekeeping and management, and the Hu family's money may come because of this.
Although Wang Zhutou wanted to diverge, but he went to the same end, and the silver ticket in the old lady's hand was really given by Boss Hu.
It's just that this "giving" is not voluntary.
The house was there, the carpenter's tools were ready-made, and Hu Laosi started to work non-stop.
The government ordered 10 rice transplanters, and the agreed time was delivered in the middle of the month, and now there are not a few days left.
The old lady was afraid that he would be tired, so she hired two more people to help him, and Hu Laosi became the real shopkeeper.
"Fourth, don't be in a hurry about the order. I'll go back and let your daughter-in-law and Yue'er accompany you, or let the third child come too? ”
Seeing Hu Laosi's hurried appearance, the old lady also wanted to share more with him. There are many benefits of rice transplanters, and there will be more orders in the future, so there is no need to rush for a while.
When something that has never been done before suddenly befalls us, everyone will panic. Hu Laosan doesn't know how to do carpentry work, but he has the strength to help a little anyway.
Hu Laosi shook his head, his eyes were full of excitement that could not be concealed, and it was difficult for anyone to suddenly change from an apprentice to a shopkeeper.
"Mother, the land at home also needs to be taken care of, and the third brother won't use it. Just have Zhao Da and Wuyi to help me. ”
Zhao Dahe and Wuyi are hired by the old lady, these two are recommended by Shanshi, they are both carpenters for many years, and there is no problem at all in their work.
Even Hu Laosi secretly told the old lady that their ability was greater than that of Master Zhang of "Lu Banxing".
They worked together and it didn't take much time to make a set of parts for the rice transplanter. With iron tools, the complete rice transplanter is complete.
The king watched them work, and was overjoyed to see this scene.
The appearance of the rice transplanter is a big event, and the spring sowing is imminent, and the county lord is staring at it all day long, and he is very concerned.
However, "Lu Banxing" can't support the wall, if Hu Laosi can stand up and have the support of the county master, this small shop will be thriving.
In order to show the ability of the rice transplanter, the old lady and Wang Zhutou agreed to go to Shanghe Village tomorrow to show it in person.
Wang Zhutou happily agreed, and took the freshly baked rice transplanter back to restore his life.
When the old lady returned to Hu's house, she said that she had opened a carpentry shop for Hu Laosi, which made the whole family stunned.
Although Jiang knew that the old lady had this intention, didn't he say that he would wait for Hu Laosi to become an apprentice? It's only been a few days, and the store is open?
Hu Laosi was dismissed by "Lu Banxing", and he didn't tell his family, so he just took this opportunity to explain.
Jiang was distressed, secretly hating that he hadn't seen through Hu Laosi's thoughts, and thought that he had really come back to farm.
The old lady was relieved by this, she told Jiang not to blame herself, now that the matter has been resolved, she will go to meet Hu Laosi tomorrow and take care of it more.
"Mother, don't worry, I will take care of the fourth."
Jiang was crying and laughing, she was happy, Hu Laosi finally had a way out over the years.
Jiang wants to live in the city, and Hu Yue'er will also go. And Hu Yue'er and Hu Yan'er became friends, and the two sisters never separated, and they were reluctant to separate suddenly.
The old lady looked at Hu Yan'er and boldly asked:
"Yan'er, do you want to go to the city too?"
Hu Yan'er is the heroine, and the old lady doesn't dare to let her do things, for fear that she will cause trouble and be retaliated against afterwards.
Send her to the city, there will be few opportunities to meet in the future, and it will smell far and near, and maybe Hu Yan'er will not have any murderous intentions towards her.
The old lady had a good idea, but Hu Yan'er didn't cooperate.
"Milk, I'm not going, stay at home and help." She smiled at the old lady, smiling smartly and without any burden.
Old Lady: "......"
What else can the old lady say? I had to smile and agree.
