Going to work as a part-time worker in a grain store
"Yes, hey, I was forced out by Xue when I was a child. As long as I don't cause trouble to the old lady, that's fine."
Tang Zangyue: "It's not troublesome, of course it's not troublesome. Don't just say it, eat a peanut and try it quickly. This braised stew is delicious even if it is eaten cold. I brought you a lot of stewed water this time, Doctor Xue. You can
Just cook the noodles in this brine without adding water. Once cooked, take them out and mix them with the vegetables inside, and they will have a unique flavor."
"Can you still eat it cold? This is rare."
Dr. Xue doesn't have a strong appetite, but the peanut taste...is really good.
Seeing Dr. Xue squinting his eyes, obviously confused by the fragrance, Tang Zangyue added: "The braised peanuts are dried and put in the sun. It is also more honorable to carry them in your pocket to send to relatives during festivals and so on. Tude
It’s just something new.”
Dr. Xue was thinking, maybe he came to sell food to him?
Doctor Xue took advantage of the situation and said: "Old Madam's stall is open in the market, right? When the time comes, Xue will ask his servants to take care of the business."
"Hey, I don't need you to take care of the business. I just want to make fresh money and eat every day. Don't you get bored? When you open a restaurant in the future, you will have more food choices. Dr. Xue can come."
Doctor Xue was startled and asked: "Old Madam, is she going to open a restaurant in the future?"
"Ah, didn't I say that?" Tang Zangyue pretended to be surprised, then smiled calmly and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll say it now."
"..." Doctor Xue was speechless.
How come opening a restaurant is as simple as eating a bowl of rice? Opening a restaurant is not allowed to stock up in advance? It also needs to have channels for fresh dishes and meat? There is also a solid family background and a unique taste...
The town is already monopolized by a restaurant, and the purchase of ingredients is also in the hands of Yuan Yulang. If he really wants to open a restaurant, wouldn't he compete with Bai Dongjia in the arena and intensify the conflict?
Doctor Xue opened his mouth, wondering if this person had listened to the last reminder. Would he like to remind him again?
Tang Zangyue seemed to see through what Doctor Xue was going to say, and said: "But it is too early to say this now. Doctor Xue also knows that although we are white, we are also exiled here. I rely on my status of medical skills
, not many people said anything on the bright side... I should probably keep a low profile and wait for an opportunity."
"When does Mrs. Tang think the time is right?"
Of course, it was when the Chu State collapsed with complete control of the troops at the border.
Tang Zangyue changed the topic with a smile: "Before the time is right, I hope Doctor Xue will not reveal it even if he knows about such a trivial matter as our Xiao family's excessive water consumption."
The answer is not what was asked.
However, knowing that the inquiry would yield no results, Doctor Xue responded with a smile: "Yingxue is not a talkative child. Even her parents only picked up small anecdotes and never mentioned that she struggled to learn.
, let alone reveal the situation of the Xiao family. Even if the old lady doesn’t come, I have warned the old lady, don’t worry.”
Chewing other people's tongues is indeed not what a lady should do. Dr. Xue's education in this area was very good, and he regulated Xue Yingxue's words and deeds from an early age.
It's no wonder that Tang Zangyue felt that Xue Yingxue was not as good-looking as the descendants of the Xue family, but she was particularly pleasing to the eye.
On the other side.
Xiao Zhonglu, Xiao Zhongli and Wang Xiaoliu, two strong laborers, were introduced by Jin Carpenter and tested by the shopkeeper at the grain store. Then they went to the countryside with other long-term workers and rushed to Qixiang Village to collect grain.
What the grain store collects is mostly polished rice, and there are also coarse grains, but very little. Firstly, the coarse grains are eaten by the farmers themselves, and secondly, what the grain store collects is sold to dignitaries.
In addition to buying grain in the village, the grain store also has land in the local area and recruits long-term workers to farm the land. These long-term workers who farm the land do not have land themselves and cannot afford to buy land, so they can only help the landlords to plant. They do not need to be paid, and they only work on the harvest.
At that time, it can be dispatched with a few loads of grain.
Xiao Zhonglu and the others are only responsible for transportation.
Although the grain store provided a lunch and some copper coins, the fuel and water supply was not as high as at home.
After a few days, Aunt Liu felt very distressed. She put her chopsticks directly at the bottom of the two brothers' bowls and said, "Eat more. Look, you have lost weight."
Tang Zangyue looked at it and thought it was true, so she asked Aunt Liu to make some meat buns for the three of them to eat while hiding from others after carrying the food.
It’s not the weight of the food that makes me thin.
For Xiao Zhongli and Xiao Zhonglu, ten bags of food were not as heavy as one heavy weapon in the General's Mansion. This was also because Xiao Zhongli returned to the General's Mansion too late and had not used heavy weapons for a few years, otherwise his strength could still be refined.
The three of them were emaciated because Qixiang Village was far away. They had to get up early and come home late, so they could only catch up on their sleep in the carriage. But how many of them could fall asleep due to the jolting of the carriage? They were all in a daze, being jolted
After a few times, I woke up. I woke up and fell asleep again, and then I was woken up again, over and over again, which caused me to be a little depressed, not eating well, and losing my appetite.
On the first day, the Xiao brothers did not complain to their families. Fortunately, Wang Xiaoliu was with them.
Wang Xiaoliu's brain was worse than Xiao Zhonglu's. He couldn't turn a corner and couldn't understand the looks given by the Xiao brothers. Under Tang Zangyue's threat, he reported the situation in detail.
Finally, Xiao Zhongli said: "Grandma, why did you ask us to do part-time labor... If we back down now, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious."
Tang Zangyue touched her chin and said, "Who said I would stop you from continuing to do day labor?"
after--
Xiao Zhonglu and Xiao Zhongli each had a U-shaped pillow sewn by Mei Niang.
Not to mention, although the road is still bumpy and it is easy to make people fall asleep, at least the neck does not hurt so much when I wake up.
Mei Niang took some cotton from the mattress and sewed a U-shaped pillow for Wang Xiaoliu. Other long-term workers in the carriage also followed suit.
They are both men who work hard, and their first exchange was about a novel neck pillow.
Xiao Zhonglu was not good at words, and Wang Xiaoliu was helping the Xiao family and did not dare to speak nonsense. Before going out, his wife also told him that he must do more and talk less when outside, so as not to make mistakes and offend the Xiao family.
He naturally followed his wife's teachings and wanted to settle down well in the Xiao family.
This time he was working as a part-time worker, but the grain store manager didn't like him at first. Xiao Zhongli persuaded him to use him. After all, he was not as smart as Xiao Zhongli mentally, and he was not as strong as Xiao Zhonglu. The grain store didn't even lack long-term workers.
, we were able to accept the three of them only because of the relationship between Jin Carpenter and the outstanding performance of the two brothers.
He was carrying thirty cents a day. When he came to Xiao's house in the evening, he gave the thirty cents to Tang Zangyue as food expenses. The latter only accepted fifteen cents and said, "You keep fifteen cents."
Wen, it should be the wages that the Xiao family paid you in the past. The fifteen wen you receive is for your help in the grain store this time and has nothing to do with the Xiao family. It’s just food money."
Therefore, his gratitude to the Xiao family is very heavy, so heavy that he does whatever his wife says.
Neither of them said a word, only Xiao Zhongli intervened to negotiate.
Xiao Zhongli: “This is designed by our grandmother and is good for the cervical spine.”
"Your grandmother... worked in a clothing store?"
Isn't it related to the clothing store that is related to fabric? It's just that I haven't seen such a weird thing in the town's clothing store. I heard it is a neck pillow? Shouldn't the pillow be used while lying on the bed? Can it also be used while sitting?
Xiao Zhongli shook his head, "No. My grandmother has medical skills and has done some research in this field. She knows how to protect the body parts, so she made this neck pillow. Even if we are young and strong now, if we don't protect it well,
Certain parts are prone to suffering in old age."
"When was there a doctor named Xue in this town... Oh, I remembered, it was Doctor Tang from Jiuli Village, right?"
"Have you heard about my grandmother?"
"This is the one who can rob someone at the gate of hell." The man gave a thumbs up.
