Chapter 640
I know how to read faces
Author: Dongyuejian
It rained during the night and the weather became cooler by two minutes. Baiful was about to face her first winter after coming to the capital.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Wei arranged for the tailors to come in. This year, there are Baifu'er and so many boys in the house, so the tailoring of clothes must be arranged early. "The winter here is different from that in the southwest. It's cold.
It will get warmer earlier, and it will get warmer later, and it will be colder."
Mrs. Wei said that it was necessary to tell Baifuler about the heating arrangements in the house. "There is no shortage of charcoal fires. We built a greenhouse in each courtyard room. When the heavy snow falls, we will light the fire. It is built with hard boards.
It’s a bed, you can sleep in it or do things.”
Bai Fu'er went to look at it. It looked a bit like the fire kang she had seen before, but she had never used it before, so she didn't know if it was the same.
"Are we going to have to buy a lot of charcoal and wood during this period?"
According to what I just said, these two items probably need to be stored a lot.
Mrs. Wei nodded and said that in addition to buying wood, she also needed to buy some shelf-stable vegetables. "Fu'er, you have to be prepared. We may not be able to eat any fresh vegetables for several months."
"It's no better than the southwest. In winter, the land is lush and green. When it snows here, no vegetables can survive. Pickles and bean sprouts become the main dish."
Bai Fu'er said it was a bit hard to accept, "How long will it take?"
Mrs. Wei said, "About four months."
Bai Fu'er took a breath of cold air. Who can eat pickles every day for four months?
Mrs. Wei added, "You can also eat tofu and Chinese cabbage, and you can also save some other things that can be saved. Green leafy vegetables are not available."
Bai Fu'er lamented. She had only heard that cabbage in the north was sold by cart in winter. At that time, she didn't quite understand it. Now they have to buy cabbage from two carts of oxen?
I feel so uncomfortable just thinking about it, and I am so afraid that after eating it all winter, I will become a pickle next year.
Mrs. Wei also sighed, but there was nothing that could be done about it. Every household was like this. To comfort Baiful, she added, "There are enough meat tubes, and there is also fish, which is also delicious when stewed with pickled cabbage."
Baifu'er's face became even more difficult. In order to keep herself fresh, she asked Sanquan to go to Qianyuanguan's house to give her a message. She couldn't sit still and wait for death. It was time to open the greenhouse and grow vegetables.
When she saw Wei Yunjing, she expressed her thoughts. Wei Yunjing was a little surprised, "You want to build a fire house to grow vegetables in winter?"
He heard that there was a greenhouse in the palace, where vegetables could be grown in winter, and that some dignitaries could also grow their own vegetables in their homes. It was said that the cost was very high, and ordinary people could not afford it.
He could afford food, but had nowhere to buy it.
Baifu'er said, "Building a fire house requires skills first, and then a continuous supply of firewood. Firewood is not cheap in winter, but we have all the wood from the small northern pine trees, and the branches and weeds in the fields are ours.
Make the best use of everything.”
Wei Yunjing didn't care about the wood at all, "Can you make a greenhouse?"
Baifu'er shook his head, "If you don't know, just ask around, just think about it, you can always figure it out."
"Leave this to me."
Wei Yunjing didn't say anything else, he just smiled cheerfully, "If you can do it, I'll thank you first for your sister-in-law. She's pregnant with a child, and I'm worried that she won't be able to bear it after eating pickles and cabbage all winter."
Bai Fu'er was happy, "This time, the eldest brother loves his wife."
I really put my wife first in everything.
The smile in Wei Yunjing's eyes became even brighter, "We are businessmen who believe that one person will make money if he is harmonious, and everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious."
In the afternoon, Baifu'er was woken up from her nap, and Caiyun was busy getting her clothes. "The people from Yaxing brought many people to let the family choose, and Madam asked everyone to go."
Bai Fu'er sat up and yawned, "There is no shortage of people in our yard."
Caiyun smiled and said: "Let's go and take a look. You never know when it will come to our yard."
Pak Fu'er nodded, and after packing up, he took another sip of tea before going. Before he walked in, he heard a strange voice saying something. When he walked in, he saw that it was a woman. When the mother-in-law saw Bai Fu'er, she
He said, "It is said that the second young lady in the house is a fairy-like person. Today I am lucky enough to see her. The rumors must be true. The second young lady is really a good person."
"You really look very lucky."
Everyone likes to hear good words, and Baifu'er is no exception. "Where did this mother-in-law come from to speak so nicely?"
The old woman hurriedly handed over her hand, "I don't dare to call the second young lady 'mother-in-law'. The old woman is a saleswoman in the dental shop, who specializes in giving away people to various families. Today, she is also entrusted by Mrs. Wei to bring people here to show to the masters."
Look, there is something that catches your eye and allows them to stay with this blessing."
Bai Fu'er's eyes swept over the two rows of people, both large and small. There were also a few girls who were very iconic, even their complexions were not good.
"Then tell me, where do these people come from, what did they do before, can they read?"
Yabozi first boasted about her own strength, saying that most of the wealthy families in Kyoto City were the servants she was responsible for sending. She also said that all the people in her hands had innocent backgrounds. Where had they done it before and why were they sold?
You can check it clearly when you come out.
This time, the Wei family bought many people, and she carefully selected them based on her requirements. "These five boys are novices. They were given to me after a disaster at home. They are diligent and clever, and have learned some simple rules.
You can use it just by training it.”
"These three girls, six strong laborers and these two couples were given to me by their previous master when he left Beijing."
Following Ya Po's introduction, Qin Zhuozhuo and others also compared the brochures in their hands carefully. Bai Fu'er didn't read it, but she opened the door. Anyone with evil intentions would be eliminated directly by her.
Waiting for Ya Po to introduce everyone, Bai Fu'er took the lead and said, "Let them come out one by one and say a few words."
This is what most buyers would do. Yapo immediately arranged for the first one to stand up and introduce herself. Baiful listened carefully and took out a small piece of paper from her purse. Caiyun took out the one she carried with her.
A mini inkstone and a small pen were put in Pfeiffer's hand after rubbing the ink in twos and twos. Pfaff took the pen to write and draw on the paper. This is called a good memory rather than a bad pen.
After the last person introduced himself, Baifuer also put down his pen and said to several people: "I know how to read faces, why don't you let me screen this first round?"
Mrs. Wei had no objection, and neither did Qin Zhuozhuo. Baifu'er looked at the small piece of paper in his hand and said directly, "The second one in the first row, the third one, the sixth one, and the eighth one; the second one in the second row
