"Huh?" Yan Yu tilted her little head and frowned at Yan Laoer: "Dad, do you think my idea is quite popular? King Qi, does he think so too, or even do this...
?”
Yan Laoer:......
Why can't his daughter's thoughts be simpler?
Let his brain keep up with this speed!
Yan Laoer squatted down.
This posture helps him think.
a long time.
Yan Laoer spoke slowly: "If you want to verify it, you have to get in touch with the people working in the private mines."
"Haha! Dad! We want to go together!" Yan Yu clapped her hands and said with a happy smile: "The ready-made private coal mine is in a good location and is too close to Leshan Prefecture. If there is an accident, let's go to the mountains.
Cat, they can't find us even if they are exhausted. Of course, I still hope to win this coal mine. This is a rich mine and can be mined in the open. Dad, look, the mine is here. This is the official road, leading directly to Gufeng.
It would be great if Gu Feng could set up defenses at the border like our Huju and push it out a little bit..."
Yan Yu's little mouth was talking wildly, as if the private mine was a turtle in her urn, and she could capture it at her fingertips!
Yan Laoer's heart failed at this moment.
Missing Big Brother...
Brother, your niece is no longer satisfied with grabbing coal. Now she wants to occupy the mine. Please give me some advice. She is very urgent!
…
After the prince left with enough coal trucks, the coal yard was basically occupied by Yan Laoer.
The people of Xizhou gradually discovered that Manager Yan had the tendency to take over this place as his own.
Housing in the mine was limited, so in order to make everyone live more comfortably, he rented three yards in a nearby village and took two days to take people to clean the fire pit that had not been burned for many years and re-route the flue.
That's not all. Manager Yan also invited several ladies in the village to cook the stoves, and prepare meals every morning, noon and evening, three meals a day.
He and his boys buy all the ingredients, first they go to nearby villages, and if there is nothing nearby, they go to the city.
The supply of meat, vegetables and rice is quite a lot for hundreds of men.
Such a huge expense is just to dig out cinders...
I really don't know whether to call him frugal or prodigal.
As the days pass, the mountains of cinders in the mine are getting smaller and smaller.
Yan Laoer has to send back a batch of cinders every three days.
At first, groups of people left, and there were fewer and fewer people in the mines. Xizhou people felt that the remaining Guanzhou people were about to go back.
But one day, they suddenly discovered that people came from Guanzhou again, more people came, more livestock, and more sledges...
Then it comes again, and again...
Seems endless!
Xizhou people finally realized it!
I'm afraid there won't be any cinder left in their coal yard...
…
Yan Yu often goes to the city with her father, and father and daughter are very willing to spend money on food.
Buy from the east of the city to the west of the city and travel to the south and north of the city.
Not only do these two men spend a lot of money on food, they also love to eat out.
The ones on Mingjie and alleys are just delicious.
Manager Zhou thought about how he would have to deal with the situation in the future, so he took his son and made an appointment with Yan Laoer and his son for a meal.
Yan Laoer should spend a lot of time and give the boy a gift to meet him. He made it look like that and wrapped it in a newly bought small pouch.
Manager Zhou laughed so hard that he lost his eyesight. The guests and hosts thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
Yan Yu kept talking to the little brother from the Zhou family, so that the latter didn't even find a chance to open his wallet and take a look.
After the meal, Manager Zhou disappeared.
He never appeared in front of the Yan family and his daughter again.
"Dad, how much money did you put into your wallet? Manager Zhou has been quiet for several days, so it's obvious that he is very angry." Yan Yu asked with a smile.
"Twenty-seven cents." Yan Laoer said with a pained look on his face: "It cost me twelve cents to buy the wallet. If I had known I would have bought the fifteen cents one, which is bigger, I could have put a few more in, and I could have made up more than thirty cents.
Okay, there are parts and pieces here and there, so it’s a bit unsophisticated.”
Yan Yu comforted him: "How much money can I still get from selling my purse? It's over thirty, which is quite a lot."
"Manager Zhou is really stingy this time. I gave him money several times, but he only gave you money for a meeting, and he still wants to find it back. How can it be the same? He has a different family, we have a family, and the prince is gone.
I haven't even had time to pay the bills. My father has paid for all the expenses these days. How poor!" Yan Laoer touched the banknote that the prince gave him before he left, and finally felt more at ease.
Yan Yu just laughed and watched her father talk about the expenses these days. She is poor and rich, and she doesn't feel like living at home. She has to spend money on everything outside. This makes her father feel bad, hahaha!
call!
There was a clear sound of flapping wings overhead.
Yan Yu's eyes lit up, and when he raised his head, he saw Jiuxiao spreading its wings in the sky, gliding away.
"Jiuxiao is back. Dad, you can go shopping by yourself. I'll go back first!" Yan Yu hurriedly left the city to read the letter.
"Let's go together. You're anxious and I'm anxious too. I'll buy some thick noodles and we'll go back."
"middle!"
The father and daughter quickly left the city. In the uninhabited area outside the city, Jiuxiao lowered its height and stopped flying far, spinning around them in the air.
Yan Yu stretched out her arms.
Jiuxiao groaned happily and leaned down.
Yan Yu and Mao Mao were close to each other, and Yan Laoer also took the opportunity to stroke it twice.
"What did your mother say?" Yan Laoer was impatient.
Yan Yu opened the letter and simply laid it on San Bao's back, and the two of them read it together.
"Little Ya'er can turn over, hahaha, Mom even drew a simple drawing!" Yan Yu pointed to the little girl drawn with simple lines, like a turtle, with four claws on the ground and her neck stretched upward.
"She's not even three months old and she can do it now? Let's see! Why is her face so flat? Why is she so fat?" Yan Laoer exclaimed in surprise!
Yan Yu quickly scanned the next paragraph and laughed loudly: "It's pressed, right? Our little Ya'er can only turn it face down, but not up, hahahahaha, it's so funny!"
"Huh? My uncle has been sent out by my eldest brother again? I really don't want my eldest brother to stay at home..."
Yan Laoer nodded in agreement: "There's nothing to do here. Why bother with the children? Just let Heng'er stay at home. There are a lot of things at home that need to be taken care of."
"Oh, the Cheng family asked grandma to help with the marriage proposal. Cheng Lezhou really misses my eldest sister!" Yan Yu said excitedly.
Yan Laoer said with a straight face: "This stinky boy, he is so young but he still wants a wife!"
"She said she wanted to get engaged first," Yan Yu said.
"The engagement... is not successful either. Mr. Cheng is a good official, but his family is too busy... Our eldest daughter will not be able to enjoy happiness when she gets married, it will be more like helping the poor!"
Yan Yu reminded in a low voice: "Dad, have you forgotten the money Master Cheng gave to Master? His family's house in Yongning City is bought or rented, and he still has dozens of taels of living money. What is the family's fortune like?
It can’t be said to be poverty alleviation.”
Yan Laoer was startled and slapped his thigh: "That's not good. Mr. Cheng is a picky guy, but your master is really poor!"
