Chapter 410 Winter
Snapped!
Yan Laoer looked up and saw that the craftsman laying the tiles was not paying attention and stepped on a piece of tile.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The other party apologized while turning around to see if he had hurt anyone below.
"Tread firmly, be careful." Yan Laoer warned.
The people above hurriedly responded, but when they turned around, they saw only a figure walking away.
Yan Laoer walked to the government office with a familiar face.
Today is the turn of the mission room to be renovated, and all documents will be transferred to this office.
There are many people in the hall. Today is a three-day festival, and people come here early to collect wages and coupons.
The salary paid by the government office is not high, ranging from five to twenty cash.
Most people can't get a salary of twenty cents, so they have to be scholars who can write and do calculations.
The wages were less than what they were paid for part-time work on weekdays, but the job assigned by the government office was a long-term job. They calculated in their minds that they could work until the twelfth lunar month, and there would be no income in the winter. The government office job became the common people's job.
I hope, except for the old and the young, I really can’t do it, and I wish the whole family could join in the battle.
He left the Yamen through the side door and went to the city gate.
Luo San: "It's very easy to sell. Basically, if we take it, it's gone. I'm thinking about waiting for the waiter to come back and talk to her about whether we should get an increase of one or two cents."
A bundle of firewood is eleven cents, which is the price at the city gate.
"How's the firewood business these days?" Yan Laoer asked casually.
Yan Huaiwen was used to his brother bringing him hot drinks and food from time to time, so he nodded towards him.
Places like service rooms and warehouses are not likely to have open fires. The stove is good, but it is also a hidden danger if it is accidentally kicked over. Yan Laoer suggested adding a fire wall between the two adjacent service rooms.
They have been tinkering in the city, and these people are becoming more and more efficient in their work, and Yan Laoer is satisfied.
Yan Laoer gave him a piece of broken silver, and Luo San found copper coins for him.
The adults had to train, go hunting in the mountains, and go around to do business, so they showed this group of children again, and they took turns coming to the tiger's nest every day to collect firewood.
In the backyard where the teacher lived, and in the room where the guards rested, Yan Laoer took the initiative to sit on the bed.
"Okay!" Luo San looked at the right place and made a big move.
Far away, I saw several children from the village collecting firewood by the city gate.
Yan Laoer quietly approached him, and when he saw a slight gap, he gently put down the honey water he had brought.
Gradually, the people found that queuing up at the government office on settlement day was time-consuming. The strong laborers at home stopped coming, and all the people who came were the elderly, women and half-grown children at home.
The team is in good order.
"I asked Madam Rong to keep it, saying that I would keep it for your waiter." Luo San said with a smile.
The sweet taste escaped in his mouth, and Yan Huaiwen slowly narrowed his eyes.
"Didn't it just increase by one penny at the beginning of the month?" Yan Laoer asked.
Yan Laoer suddenly felt a chill on his face and looked up.
The arrow towers in each village were completed ahead of schedule. Instead of five like in Xiaoan Village, each village had one or two towers depending on the population.
Several children also looked over, and Uncle Yan and Uncle Yan kept shouting.
The latter took the note and walked further back.
"It's seventeen today, the weather is getting colder, more people are using firewood, and charcoal is easier to sell. I'm thinking it should go up."
Check the wooden sign, register it, find the name from the work form in the newspaper, and compare it with the amount of money, both of which are correct.
"Then quickly weigh them all for me, and your brother Yan will give you a test, haha!" Yan Laoer's eyes lit up when he heard that there was mutton, and he said again: "Do you have any ribs? Give them to me too."
After confirming, write down the name, the amount of money and the amount of the coupon, cut the paper with a bamboo knife, and hand it to the other party.
The damaged houses in the city have been repaired to some extent, and it is finally the turn of the government offices. What is equally intolerable as the leaky roofs is the heating of the entire government offices.
Luo San doesn't come every day, it's his turn probably every five or six days.
"Brother Yan!" Luo San, with sharp eyes, greeted him happily when she saw him.
I thought that it would be finished here in the afternoon, but I was not in a hurry to move it back, light a fire to dry it out, and leave it empty for another day, and it would be almost done.
Put the two kilograms of mutton into the basket you brought and hand it to him along with the collected sheep's blood and haggis.
With the help of the Three Railways to open up the relationship with Ximen, and pay a toll fee every month, the firewood sales team in Xiao'an Village can enter and exit unlimited times every day.
Luo San smiled and said: "Hey, I collected a few sheep at the fair a few days ago, raised them and sold them at the same time. They were just killed in the morning and they were very fresh. I also brought the sheep blood and haggis.
It's prepared for you, Brother Yan. If you don't come, I will take you to Fucheng in the afternoon."
After paying the copper plate and the voucher, Yan Huaiwen put the note in the box at hand, wrote it down in the book on the desk, and after filling a page, he took out his private seal and printed it on the corner of the page.
Yan Laoer left the lobby and went to the mission room.
Another person next to him took back the wooden sign and asked if he wanted wages or coupons for food purchases.
In their hands, they have a wooden sign with the name of the village and town where the household head is located. They show this sign to the official, who will point them to the documents for handling the accounts of the corresponding village and town, and line up in order.
Luo San set up a stall nearby to sell meat, and the sound of sharpening knives sounded very friendly.
The loss of office space is nothing compared to warming up a cold room.
Yan Laoer thought that his daughter would be home soon, and Grandma Rong would probably make grilled lamb chops for her...
Today it is Yan Hushu's turn to be on duty here. Behind him are two baskets filled with bunches of copper plates.
After taking the monopoly, the first thing Yan Yu did was to raise prices.
At the same time, charcoal is also sold together.
"Then cut two more pounds of meat for me." Yan Laoer said.
It cost fourteen coins to take it home through the streets and carry it to the woodshed.
The retail price is higher, about three cents and seven cents per hundred catties of silver. The last time he returned to the village, there were no end to the mounds of charcoal burning in the forest...
After the family's firewood business was handed over to her daughter, it was booming. Simply collecting firewood from Huju and selling it to Yongning was no longer enough for her. The four gates of Fucheng squatted guarding the children of Xiao'an Village every day, collecting nine cents for ten cents and selling them.
You can't make money by moving ten cents in and out.
"Oh, okay, put on your gloves and hats, don't let the wind blow." Yan Laoer said to the children.
Yan Laoer grinned and left quietly.
At first, the children didn't understand and simply listened to the leader, the waiter. But gradually, the number of people selling firewood squatting at the gate of the city became less and less, and they almost just turned their backs and gave them to them before leaving.
If it's Luo San's turn, he will come over with meat.
"What kind of meat is it today?" Yan Laoer asked, looking at the stall.
But the village was worried about the children going back and forth, so an adult followed them every day.
Then there is the renovation of the office space.
After a period of adjustment, the people of Huju have adapted to the life of working at a certain time every day, giving wooden signs when they finish work, and coming to the official office of Huju City every three days to settle accounts.
Suck!
The sky was overcast, the sun was covered by thick dark clouds, and bits and pieces of snowflakes fell down, soon filling the sky and overturning the earth.
"It's snowing again." Luo San muttered, finding a clean cloth to cover the meat stall.
Check whether the coverings of the mules and donkeys are tied tightly.
Then he walked to where the children were, dug it out with an iron hook, and added two more pieces of charcoal to the stove.
Sorry everyone, I wanted to take a nap yesterday, but I didn’t expect to sleep until noon~
Hey, hey, he sleeps so sweetly~
Escape and continue coding~
