Girlfriend's Fortune

Chapter 92 No.90 One Word: Inquiry
The boundary of Songshan Village was originally a piece of mixed land at the foot of Songshan.

A hundred years ago, there was a catastrophe in the southernmost area, and the people were displaced, and they all fled outside.

Some died on the road before they could escape far.

Those who survived by luck, naturally, finally waited for the relief and appeasement of the court.

Some went back to their hometowns after receiving the money, and some of them had no relatives left in their hometowns and didn't even think about running around anymore. The imperial court settled them nearby.

At that time, there were quite a lot of victims staying in the area of ​​Panshi Town, and the existing villages could not accommodate many people. Fortunately, there were still many vacant places, so the victims were allowed to choose a place to settle down.

Therefore, this Songshan Village came into existence.

Songshan is unowned, because they live at the foot of the mountain, so it is convenient for them.

But outside the official road, Song Qiu didn't know if the long river was unowned, so she had to find out about it with the village chief's grandfather.

"Aqiu, are you asking about Changhe?"

This year, the fifty-two village chiefs have an old cigarette stick in their hands all the year round, which was passed down to him by Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang is getting old and always coughs a lot, so he lost the cigarette for decades. Tobacco stick.

At this time, the village chief took a bite from the cigarette holder, and the smoke enveloped his whole face, but he didn't notice it.

Song Qiu didn't like the smell of smoke, so he was glad that he sat at the bottom, far away, nodded and said, "That's the one. I want to ask the village chief, grandpa, does that one belong to you?"

The village head said: "There is no owner, we are all ownerless in this area. I heard that many years ago, the official road did not leave here. The official road has also been cultivated, and this area is densely populated."

"Aqiu, why are you asking about this?"

Hearing that there is no owner, Song Qiu was relieved, and discussed with the village chief, "Grandpa village chief, I want to set up a tea stand by the long river, which is convenient for passers-by and earns a little money." , do you think it's okay?"

"A tea stand?"

The village chief paused. The official road has been lively for so many years, but no one in his village thought of setting up a stall on the side of the official road.

He thought about the location on the edge of the long river. The official road that goes from south to north is the official road coming from the east.

just.

"Aqiu, you are young, but you don't know. It looked like ten years ago. The field in Wangjiadun is quite wide, beside the forest. A family in Wangjiadun also set up a tea stall there for passing by. People rest their feet and drink tea.

But one day, suddenly, two groups of passers-by with knives and swords stopped at the tea stand, and for some reason, they started fighting. Those who drew swords saw blood!

The youngest son of that family was a clerk, but he couldn't escape and was killed on the spot! "

The village chief sighed, but he was afraid of scaring the little girl again, so he changed his tone and said, "There are no tea stalls on the official road in the back, but these years, the world has been peaceful, and I haven't heard of any tea stalls. There is such a thing.

Ah Qiu, if you want to set up a tea stand, it's not impossible. I'm worried that you two grandchildren, and you don't have a strong labor force at home. "

Song Qiu listened, thinking of the land of Wangjiadun, which she knew was not far from her uncle's village.

There is a stall on the side of the official road, and if you encounter someone who fights and kills, maybe you have seen many dramas, and you have seen it before.

But these years have indeed been peaceful. There are so many people coming and going on the official road every day, and nothing has happened.

She just wanted to make a living.

Don't go for fear that someone will find fault or something will happen, which will never be the top priority.

This has something to do with her big plans.

There is no rush for the planning behind, right now.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Village Chief, I'll go there every morning, and close the stall when it's almost there in the afternoon. There are people coming and going on the official road, and our village is also close, so you can see it at a glance, and you won't go out if you think about it." What's the matter?" Song Qiu said.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, the village chief didn't want to say anything else, so he just said: "Then be careful, if there is something, it's not important, just run back to the village by yourself first.

There is no one on the side of the long river, you can just set up a stall, and if you need help, you can also tell me. "

Then it will take more than one mile to run back, and it will be fine if you enter the trail of the village. If you want to be smart, you can avoid it.

That kid from Wangjiadun was just a little stupid and had to stick out to watch other people's excitement, so he was killed by mistake.

Otherwise, as long as they are not bandits, no one will kill ordinary people casually, right?
These years, they have not heard of bandits for a long time. The world is good, and the common people can eat no matter how bad they are, so why bother to live on their heads.

"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief, I know." Song Qiu nodded honestly, thanking him sincerely.

The village head nodded, seeing someone going out, he got up and entered the ear door on the right.

"A little girl from the Song family?" Mr. Tang was sitting on a chair by the window.

"Yes." The village head sat down opposite, subconsciously put the cigarette stick in his hand on his lap and didn't put it in his mouth, "The little girl is smart, she has the right idea, and she wants to set up a stall by the long river , people come and go every day, it’s a good business.”

"This Ah Qiu is like her grandma. You can tell by those eyes. She is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She is stable and has big ideas."

"This business is also a good business, but there are too many officials and Taoists, and they have more contacts, so bad things are inevitable." Mr. Tang sighed, "The old man last time, I haven't seen him these days, it's strange."

As soon as the village chief heard what his father said, he hurriedly said: "Then why don't I tell her not to set up a stall?"

Mr. Tang glanced at him, "Forget it, let's put it on, it's not easy for the Song family, so it doesn't matter."

"Father is right."

"Go take a look if you have nothing to do, we people in Songshan Village don't allow outsiders to bully us."

"Eh!"

……

After inquiring about the good news that there is no owner on the edge of the long river, Song Qiu thought about starting to build a shed on the river beach.

It’s just for people to rest their feet in the sun. You don’t need to use anything fancy, just a thatched shed. It’s easy and fast to build, and it doesn’t cost much.

At this time of year, all the fields in eight villages are busy with farm work, and Liu Caigui and his son, who specialize in carpentry in the village, are idle.

Song Qiu planned to ask them to help with the construction, and he needed to build a few simple tables and benches, so he was looking for them anyway.

It is necessary to prepare this thing, and it is not good to borrow it from others. After all, you are doing business by yourself, and you are not using it for your own wine or something.

Liu Caigui just turned 40 years old this year. He has two sons and two daughters. The eldest daughter married early, and the youngest daughter just got married not long ago.

And the two sons are several years old, and there are only three generations, adding up to just ten people.

There is no land, and the women grow some vegetables and feed some livestock. Other than that, they rely on the craftsmanship of the carpenter.

Because of their good craftsmanship, during the slack season, there are still quite a few people who come to ask them to do carpentry work, so life is easy.

After Song Qiu went to tell him what he wanted, Liu Caigui was still taken aback, "Where are we going to build a thatched shed by the river?"
