Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 754 Chapter 750 Three: Happy or not

"Right now, hire a dozen or so people to clean up the land, build an inn later, and then hire more people." Song Qiu said.

Listen, the village chief, this is not just cleaning up the land, but also helping to build houses. Those who have to work for a few days can earn some money.

Immediately, my heart became hot, "Okay, girl, just wait, I will call someone for you."

As soon as the village chief yelled, within a quarter of an hour, a dozen or so men, carrying hoes and shovels and carrying dustpans, gathered in a pile.

It is said that work can be done immediately.

It would take two days to clean up those few acres, and it would be troublesome to make two meals alone, so Song Qiu first agreed with the village chief that no meal was included, and it would cost [-] cents a day.

The village head listened, and naturally said yes, people in the village used to go to the town to do part-time jobs, and they didn’t have to pay for meals. It’s okay to bring dry food by yourself. trouble.

A dozen or so people followed them out of the woods, and when they arrived at the border of the tea stand, they began to work in silence. They were all old-fashioned crops. Clearing up the wasteland was a no-brainer. of.

Song Qiu watched the big guys work for a while, and then grabbed a handful of copper coins for the tea stall owner, and asked her to serve tea to the workers. It was a hot day, and people sweated a lot during work. It would be impossible to not drink water. .

Seeing that it was getting late, he prepared to go back to town.

As for this place, the boss of Tuocha will help take care of it, and she will come to have a look tomorrow.

Naturally, the wages are settled after all the cleaning is completed. If the money is not in hand, I am not afraid that these people will not work hard.

Back in the town, just in time for lunch, Yue'er and Zhuzi cleaned up all the mess in the kitchen in the morning, and prepared the food at noon, waiting for Song Qiu and the others to come back, and then hurriedly put the food in Put it on the table in the main hall.

Song Qiu, master and apprentice A Ling, and Ye Fang ate at the same table. The others, Huang Qi and the others, sat at a table in the kitchen and ate separately. They also ate more freely.

After dinner, Song Qiu went to take a nap as usual, and after taking a nap, he called Huang Qi to ask how they were doing this morning.

"Back to the girl, the carpenter and the woodworker have been contacted. The carpenter is free right now, and the craftsmen who built the house have also agreed. If you support me, they can start work tomorrow."

Huang Qi used to be in charge of dozens of people in the big courtyard. He was smart, and no one taught him to take care of him. Even those who studied hard could read and write a lot. Very calm.

In addition, in the Songshan Inn, he was taken by shopkeeper Tao for a period of time, which made him even more stable.

Do this, no problem.

Song Qiu listened and nodded, "Tomorrow, you go and order the wood and send it to Lushigou, and tell the craftsmen that construction will start early in the morning."

Tomorrow, if the Green Stone Ditch is cleaned up for another day, all will be cleared out, and construction will start later, almost.

Now at the beginning of May, the progress is speeding up. It is estimated that the inn will be opened by the end of May. By then, I will rush back in early June, which will be similar to last year.

Song Qiu went to Lushigou again in the afternoon of the next day. The wasteland overgrown with weeds was quite different. The weeds were gone, and it was empty and bright.

The workers are busy picking out all the broken stones. This job is almost done, and it doesn't take evening to call it a day.

Song Qiu just sat at the tea stall drinking tea, waiting for the work to be over, to pay the big guys, and then go back to town.

Ah Ling couldn't sit still, the air here was nice and open, so he dragged three apprentices into the woods to practice.

Ye Fang was also left at the tea stand, staying with Song Qiu, also protecting Song Qiu.

It was rare for Song Qiu to be alone with Ye Fang, seeing him holding a teacup absent-mindedly, looking into the opposite forest from time to time, he couldn't help but smile.

She didn't intend to say anything to Ye Fang, but when she leaned a little, Ye Fang looked away, but looked at her, "Miss Song, can you tell me what Ah Ling likes?"

This is the first time that Ye Fang has not concealed his thoughts seriously.

Song Qiu glanced at him, "Didn't you give her a hairpin?"

Ye Fang's eyes dimmed, "I haven't seen her wearing it, she probably doesn't like it."

The bleakness was only for a moment, and he pushed it away by himself, with a look of enthusiasm, as if he seemed to have endless energy, "So, please tell me what she likes, Miss Song, so that I can give it to her."

It has always been a science to please girls.

Song Qiu smiled slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Only for those who don't like you, you can only do what you like. For those who really like you, it doesn't matter what you give, what matters is the thought."

Ye Fang blinked, "So, Ah Ling doesn't like me?"

As she said that, she felt bitter, "I should have seen it too, she doesn't have a smile on my face, it's fine if she doesn't hate me."

Song Qiu didn't want to talk about it at first, but seeing Ye Fang like this, he couldn't help but said, "Don't you see that since you sent her the hairpin, she hasn't bothered you much these days?"

Ye Fang was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case?

He felt a little joy in his heart for a moment, but he couldn't grasp the feeling, and his mind was turbulent, and he began to meditate.

Seeing that he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts, and couldn't get out for a while, Song Qiu didn't bother you and him, and turned to talk to the proprietress.

At this point, there was no one passing by. The proprietress and the tea owner were busy cleaning the tea bowls, and the unoccupied tables were wiped again and again, sweating from their busy schedule.

It can be seen that the couple are very down-to-earth people.

Like yesterday, she mentioned that she wanted to open an inn here. The couple obviously felt a little uncomfortable at the time. After all, who would like to be robbed of their business, and this well-established business can't be done?

But the family is still cheerful, helping with the work, see you today, the idea of ​​being uncomfortable can't be seen at all, obviously last night, the husband and wife have had a good discussion and discussion.

So as soon as I met her, I told her, please accommodate her for two more days, and they will support it for a few more days. When this shop is opened, the tea stall will get in the way, so they will tear it down. If you don’t support this The tea stall is over.

After hearing this, Song Qiu asked the lady proprietress, "Then you don't set up this tea stall anymore, what are you going to do?"

The proprietress obviously thought about it carefully, and she said: "Our family has little land, and my parents-in-law and son can do it, so we came out to toss this tea stand to earn a little money. If this tea stand is closed, I will After thinking about it, I went back to my natal family and begged my natal brother to teach me the craft of making tofu. I guess it would cost me some money. I might have to spend all the money I saved from running a tea stall in the past few years, but at least I have a skill , when the time comes, our husband and wife will be more diligent, make tofu and sell it in the town, and run for several villages with a load. Slowly, we can always earn back, and this craft, I can pass it on to my son later .”

These days, craftsmanship is the key to supporting a family. Although a daughter is also of blood, she will be a member of another family after she gets married. This kind of craftsmanship will not be taught to her daughter.

She wanted to learn, so naturally she couldn't do it in vain, and it was also because she was her elder brother, otherwise even if she gave her money, her elder brother would not be able to teach her.
