Zheng Qingyuan put away the deed and said with a smile: "Jin'er, since you want to do business, seals are commonly used. If you don't mind, I will find someone to carve one for you later. How about the Qingtian stone?"
Tang Shijin smiled and said: "Of course I don't dislike it, so I'll thank you in advance!"
Then Zheng Qingyuan asked for a carriage to take her back to the village, but Tang Shijin refused, and then Zheng Qingyuan and his wife left. Tang Shijin carried two jars and a snack basket, walked slowly to the city gate, and walked slowly to the city gate.
After walking a few steps, I saw a little beggar on the street. I waved him over and asked him: "Where is the flower wolf?"
The little beggar said: "Are you looking for him?"
Tang Shijin nodded, and the little beggar went away. After a while, Hua Lang came over, and Tang Shijin whispered: "Is there any way you can get some incense that has no smell? If there is anything that can cause people to have a headache,
Or some kind of poisonous smoke and poisonous powder."
Hualang was stunned for a moment, looking at her with a strange expression.
Tang Shijin was relieved, thinking that this little kid knew what he could and couldn't do very well.
Then she said: "Don't worry, I'm just taking precautions. If someone hurts me, I'll just use it to fight back. I won't hurt people for no reason."
Hua Lang raised his eyes to look at her, and she looked at him steadily.
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Wait a minute."
Then he ran away, and after a while, he came back and gave her something in his hand: "There are incense sticks in the paper bag. The smell is very weak. It will dissipate in half an hour. If you smell it, you will fall into coma and you will have a headache when you wake up."
There is a kind of poisonous powder in the bottle. It is usually fine. It will melt when it comes into contact with water. If you smell it, you will faint temporarily, and the skin it touches will cause a rash. Be careful."
Tang Shijin said: "Thank you very much."
She handed one of the jars to him and said, "I'll treat you to dinner."
Hualang didn't say anything, just picked it up, and Tang Shijin walked away slowly.
She was really just in case. Who knew when the news about her business would reach the ears of the Tang family, and she would have to deal with it when the time came.
After returning home, He Yuanxiao helped pour the rice noodles and grains into the purchased jars. There were four rice jars lined up against the wall, all of them filled more than half of the jars. They looked quite wealthy.
Brother Lei had been studying at home for a day. When he saw her come back, he happily came up to her and followed up with her words: "Sister, I have memorized all three hundred thousand! Uncle Yan taught me all the Three-Character Sutra."
Give it to me! He said he would teach me the Thousand-Character Classic in the future!"
Tang Shijin saw the child's face filled with joy, that he actually really liked studying, and secretly shed tears of sympathy for him... and a little bit, yes, just a little bit of subtle envy, and said: "Brother Lei is so awesome!
"
The little eyelash girl suddenly smiled and rolled her eyes, and her joy almost overflowed.
Tang Shijin kissed him on the forehead and let him eat the snacks he brought back. After seeing that the dish he brought back was chicken nuggets with sugar sauce, he asked He Yuanxiao to go home and get a piece of tofu, ready to make grass carp stewed with tofu.
He Yuanxiao squatted beside him to help clear the fish, while reporting on the work: "I called them to the open space in the north to make cups. Have you discussed it over there? How many should we make?"
Tang Shijin said: "We have agreed that it will cost more than 3,000 yuan. You raise the salary to 20 cents a day, and then tell them that they must do better. The bad ones will be a waste of time and will not be wanted by others. You will definitely do it when the time comes.
Check it carefully."
"More than three thousand!" He Yuanxiao said in surprise, and after a long time he said: "Don't worry, I told them, if it doesn't work, I will replace them. I will look at each one carefully."
"By the way," Tang Shijin said, "How many people are there in total now?"
"It's still them!" He Yuanxiao said: "I didn't add anyone."
Tang Shijin said: "If you encounter someone who is handy, you can add a few more. Once you get it done quickly, we can do other things."
"Oh, okay!" He Yuanxiao nodded: "It just so happens that a lot of people are looking for us these days, so I'll pick a few more. By the way, I thought I could ask those teenagers and half-year-olds to help polish them.
Six cents per work is enough, otherwise those people would grind it themselves, which would cost them a lot of time and money."
Tang Shijin praised him: "Not bad, Yuanxiao is really clever to think of this."
"Hehe." He Yuanxiao was very happy, "It's nothing, I just thought of it accidentally."
Tang Shijin added: "One more thing, you must not tell others who we are doing business with. Since ancient times, money has attracted people's hearts. Although we are not afraid, we must avoid trouble."
He Yuanxiao nodded repeatedly: "I understand."
While the two were chatting, they finished the dishes. There was no time to steam the steamed buns, so Tang Shijin simmered the white rice directly and served it to the table. When she saw Brother Lei still holding Shu Nian, she remembered and folded her hands.
A loudspeaker shouted to the top: "Yan Baiwei! Yan Baiwei!"
A response came quickly from above: "Hey~"
“Come down and eat~~”
"Okay~~"
Yan Baiwei came down soon, holding a rabbit and a pheasant in his hand, and threw them in front of the kitchen door. He smiled and said, "How do you know I haven't eaten?" He washed his hands and sat down.
Already.
Probably due to the aura of kung fu, He Yuanxiao's attitude changed drastically and she even smiled at him.
Tang Shijin served him a meal and said, "Have you eaten and taught Brother Lei?"
Yan Baiwei smiled and said, "Okay."
He tried to drink a spoonful of fish soup, and immediately rolled his eyes with satisfaction.
Then he went to get a bowl himself, filled a bowl of fish soup, and said: "Every meal without soup is like not eating."
He Yuanxiao said: "Me too, me too!"
He ran to get three bowls, held them in his arms, and filled them for the three of them respectively. However, the table was too small and there was no place to put them. He could only put them at his feet.
Yan Baiwei said: "Your table is too small. I will help you make a bigger one another day."
Tang Shijin hummed: "Okay."
She thought for a while: "Do you think I should buy some furniture now?"
He Yuanxiao said: "Aren't you afraid that your stepmother will come to you if she smells something fishy?"
She said: "But it's really inconvenient!"
He Yuanxiao thought for a while: "Otherwise, although my eldest brother is not very good at crafts, he can also open cabinets and so on. I will tell him tomorrow and ask him to make an appointment with two people who can do carpentry work and give it to you quietly.
Get two cabinets and an Eight Immortals table, just use them like this for now, wait until after a while?"
Tang Shijin also thought about it: "I think it will work."
The standard furnishings in the village are an offering table at the entrance, followed by a large Eight Immortals table with Taishi chairs on both sides. Then most families will put a low table under the Eight Immortals table. They usually put it in and pull it out when eating. The family can sit there.
Eat here.
Then put two top cabinets on both sides. This is a very tall cabinet that almost touches the roof. It is divided into upper and lower floors. It divides a large rectangular room into three rooms. Both sides are considered bedrooms, and then the bedside cabinets are placed on both sides.
Low cabinets and boxes, etc.
Wealthier families would also place two cabinets back to back, with a library shelf outside and a cabinet inside.
She didn't have to follow the village custom, but it was still necessary to separate the bedroom with a cabinet, otherwise it would always feel like sleeping in a playground, sleeping so far apart.
Tang Shijin said: "Buy a bookcase for Brother Lei... By the way, Yan Baiwei, besides three hundred thousand, what other books can I buy for Brother Lei?"
Yan Baiwei said: "The Analects of Confucius, Zhu Xi's Family Instructions, Zengguang Xianwen, and Youxue Qionglin are all acceptable. The rest are the Four Books and the like, which are slightly deeper."
Tang Shijin muttered: "The Analects of Confucius, Zhu Zi's family precepts, Zeng Guangxian, Wen Yixue, Qionglin..."
Yan Baiwei raised his eyebrows and said, "You also have a very good memory!"
"That's right!" Tang Shijin said casually: "There is nothing you can do about being born smart!"
But there was something in her heart, and she thought, could it be because she drank the spiritual spring water? Her mind was not so bright before! It is no exaggeration, the same goal will take twice as much effort as others to achieve.
Mathematics was the only one that was good, but English and French... it was really a lifelong nightmare. When I put the paper in front of her during the exam, she couldn't even finish it, because they copied the words word by word, so she copied them word by word.
, copy letter by letter...
Later, when I was having a bad time, I went to school at 2 a.m. every night, and the next day I had to pretend to be cool: "Oh, it's nothing, adults always have some nightlife."
Everyone thought that Mr. Tang had infiltrated a reinforced company. In fact, she had countless handsome men and beautiful women and was still a young girl. Who dares to believe this??
Just thinking about it brings tears of bitterness.
