Mountain People

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "We do this, only if there is any change in the shop, we have to inquire about it. If anyone wants to sell it, we must hurry to the door."

Gu Shuixiu nodded clearly, but she admired the middle-aged man in her heart.

Several people looked inside and out of the shop, Gu Shuixiu was satisfied, and decided to buy the shop happily, but it was only for the rent, but Gu Shuixiu started to grind people again.

After several communications, the rent of the shop was finally reduced from thirty-six taels a year to thirty-two taels a year, and the owner of the shop would not say anything, if it weren’t for Gu Shuixiu’s agreement I paid the rent for one year in full, and said that the rent would be renewed. The owner of the shop said that he would not agree to lower the price.

After the documents were signed, Gu Shuixiu took the lead in going to the backyard of the store to pick a side room close to the kitchen and designated it as a firewood room and utility room, and at the same time let Dong Chenghu, Dong Yi and Dong Xiao start work together , Dig a cellar in this partial house, this cellar is mainly used to avoid danger.

Gu Shuixiu always felt that the county town was not as safe as Cuizhu Mountain. Once there was turmoil in the county town, Gu Daniu and Zhao Nizi could also take shelter in this cellar for a while.

In addition, in addition to digging the cellar, Gu Shuixiu also had to clean up the shop a little, and then went to the blacksmith shop to order eight cauldrons, and built ten stoves in the kitchen. Set up a large pot, the other two, one for boiling water, and one for standby. Tables, chairs, etc. should be fully prepared, including pen, ink, paper and inkstone for accounting, which are indispensable.

After the shop was ready, Gu Shuixiu took Dong Chenghu and the others to the village near the county seat, and talked with the village chief about buying chickens, ducks and eggs.

That's right, Gu Shuixiu's business is salt chicken, salt-smoked eggs, and salted duck. She originally wanted to get a salt chicken tire, but this thing never appeared in Liang Chao. , If Gu Shuixiu sells this thing, he will not be criticized for being cruel or something. In order to live a safe life in the future, Gu Shuixiu has no choice but to give up selling salt chicken tires.

The salt chicken has never appeared in this dynasty. The main reason is that the salt is too expensive. No one would use so much salt for food, because no one thought of it, Gu Shuixiu There is a way to make money.

It's just that this salt chicken can't be called salt chicken if it is really launched.

So Gu Shuixiu named her salted chicken salted chicken, which is seasoned with special spices and fumigated with salt.

After the shop was busy, Gu Shuixiu went to Renyazi again. This time the Renyazi was different from the last time. Gu Shuixiu briefly stated her requirements and finally bought it. Two little girls and a servant.

The two little maids are about fourteen years old, one looks like a normal farmer, her skin is a little dark from the sun, very simple, and the other maid has been there since she was a child The big family is the maid, and the big family sells them after they are defeated.

Gu Shuixiu would like this maid mainly because she can read and has good manners No problem, these two maids will be responsible for helping Cuixi to work in the future, and sharing the work on Cuixi's hand will also free Cuixi.

Gu Shuixiu named the two of them Luo Ying Fun, Luo Ying was the darker little girl, and Fun was the literate little girl.

The other little servant is called Cheng Hai. The reason why Gu Shuixiu likes him is that he is literate and smart. Such a person can be sent to the store as a second boy with a little training. Gu Shuixiu wasn't afraid that he would turn out his palms because of the betrayal.

After finishing this, Gu Shuixiu led the crowd back to the house. The shops on the county side were locked for a while, and when they went back to finish the autumn harvest, the shops would open.

On the way back, because there were three more people, the team grew a lot, and outsiders dared not pay their attention. The first time the three newly bought servants went to Cuizhu Mountain, like the others, they were shocked, and then they were overjoyed. As long as they did not make mistakes in such a place, they could spend the rest of their lives here in peace.

From the master's point of view, what she needs is that the servant has a stable and loyal heart.

After returning to Cuizhu Mountain, Dong Chenghu continued to be busy making salt, storing enough sea salt for the consumption in the store in winter, Dong Yi and others all went to the fields to help with the work, a few people worked together, no two The sky will harvest the rice in the field, and the next step is drying and threshing. There are seven servants in total, and four of them are laborers. Gu Shuixiu is not at all worried that the autumn harvest will be delayed.

On Dong Chenghu's side, after the salt field was exposed to the sun for a period of time, sea salt was precipitated in the two salt ponds. Dong Chenghu packed up the sea salt in the two salt fields and put water in again.

After all the grains from Cuizhu Mountain entered the granary, Gu Shuixiu finally found time to ask about Zhao Nizi and Zhao Baoer.

Gu Shuixiu explained to Cuixi before she went to Zhishui County, trying to make Zhao Nizi literate during this time, and not trying to recognize too much, but her name is also about salt chicken and numbers Remember all the words you will use.

These two children did nothing during this period of time, they just learned to read with Cuixi.

Fortunately, Zhao Nizi knows how to work hard. Although she is not very talented, she is better than being obedient and obedient. Her ingenious brain is stunned to engrave all these words in her mind, but she can't write it yet .

Gu Shuixiu knew that these things couldn't be rushed, and it happened that Chenghai Binfen was also literate. When the time came, let Chenghai and Binfen go to the county town together, and let Binfen teach Zhao Nizi to read and write. Colorful transferred back to Cuizhu Mountain.

Everyone has no opinion on Gu Shuixiu's arrangement. After that, Gu Shuixiu quickly took Dong Chenghu, Dong Yi, Zhao Nizi, Binfen, and Chenghai to Zhishui County, and also brought the chickens and ducks raised in Cuizhu Mountain. Twenty or thirty were taken away.

Zhao Nizi left this time, Zhao Baoer did not pester her to let her go like Zhao left last time, although her eyes were full of reluctance, but she held back her tears, Zhao Baoer always I remember what Cuixi and Dong Shan told him during this time - he is the only male in the Zhao family, and he will support his sister in the future, so he can no longer be willful and foolish.
