Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 260 Go to the hut~
Ye Maosheng looked disdainful, and said: "That's them, a bunch of short-sighted and vulgar people, why bother to be as knowledgeable as them? As for the bookstore business... they don't want to make money from this, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid that it won't be able to keep going. It's hard to find such a good place." Zhou's family lives close by, and Zhou Yusheng can fully foresee that if the reputation of this bookstore can grow, there will definitely be more scholars renting nearby tomorrow. stand up.

One, this bookstore has a huge amount of books, and you can read them for free, which is really convenient for many poor people; two, it's cold in winter, and everyone can feel better if they can make charcoal here.

As for the geographical advantages of his family, it was also reflected. Maybe he could rent a few more houses next year, and then his two elder brothers would not have to work so hard.

"This is really..." Ye Maosheng was thoughtful, "Perhaps, we can help to find a way."

"any solution?"

"Let the business here get better."

"You and I don't know how to do business, how can we make it better?"

Ye Maosheng took a look at Zhou Yusheng and thought he was a little stupid: "There are so many scholars in our academy, there must be someone who wants to buy books? Anyway, you can buy them elsewhere, so why not come here to buy them? ?”

Zhou Yusheng understood: "Are you planning to..."

……

When another classmate arrived, the three discussed it, and immediately wrote an article about this bookstore and posted it on the wall of Baishan Academy.

Ten praises to Yao's Academy, one praise...

After reading the whole article, the word bath is not very gorgeous, but every sentence is to the point. It not only introduces the area of ​​the bookstore, the types of books, and even praises the huts inside.

Many people who have never lived in that kind of hut couldn't help but went to Yao's Bookstore to see a "lively".

Seeing this, some gentry sons were surprised: "How can you still go to the latrine like this?!"

Immediately moved my mind and wanted to install one in my own home.

Nowadays, the so-called huts are divided into two types, one is "wooden barrels", which are cleaned by special servants and scented with incense to prevent odors.

The other is generally used by servants, which is to dig a pit in a secluded place, put wooden boards on it, and build a house on it, thus forming a simple version of a "hut".

The former one is okay, there is no peculiar smell. After all, the servants will take it away and wash it off; but the latter one needs to be cleaned after a while, and it will take a long time, especially when it is hot, the smell will be heavy. up.

In order to prevent the smell from getting on their bodies, the servants will try their best not to go away, or change their clothes in time.

The gentry praised this kind of hut, not because he was considerate of the servants in the house, but because he had never seen such a convenient, clean and tidy hut, and felt that if this thing was done well, he could have one in his yard .

With this thing, will it be so troublesome for him to go to the toilet in the future?

Without saying a word, Lou Qing, the gentry son, found the waiter of the bookstore and asked about the latrine.

The second shopkeeper: "..."

——Everyone is here to read, how come you, a handsome young man with neat clothes, came here to inquire about his hut?

The waiter in the store can't take charge of this kind of thing, so he can only find a steward.

Soon, Gu Qingling heard someone report this matter, she was slightly taken aback, and suddenly realized: Is she a little too "limited"?

She only stared at the prescriptions in her hand, but didn't know that besides those prescriptions, the "convenience measures" in her head about improving her life were actually good recipes for making money.

Gu Qingling curled the corners of her lips, she was in a very good mood, and asked someone to invite Mrs. Yao over to give her an explanation.

In the end, Lou Qing saw Mrs. Yao's family, who told him that it was too late this year, and the weather was too cold to start construction. Reserve.

Lou Qing was pleasantly surprised, he didn't have any hope at first, he didn't expect that the other party had such a plan in the first place, it was such a coincidence, thank you again and again.

Sending Lou Qing away, Xia Tao, the maid beside Mrs. Yao, came over and said congratulations, "Congratulations, Mrs. Congratulations, Mrs. He Xi, it seems that the old lady trusts Mrs. Yao very much, otherwise she would not have entrusted such an important matter to Mrs. .When the spring of next year begins, this new type of construction team will be built, and then the lady will be able to wait for the money to be collected."

Mrs. Yao glared at her: "How do you know that I can collect money? The construction team hasn't even seen it yet, and they just said they want to build, but they haven't paid the money, and they are about to start work. In case What if people regret it then?"

"How is it possible? He came to the door eagerly and handed over the greeting card. He originally wanted to ask us to help him build a new-style hut. If there were no accidents, how could he go back on his word? But..." Xia Tao, the big maid, said doubtfully, "Lou I don’t know what the new-style hut that the young master said looked like, but he was pleasantly surprised by it.”

"You haven't seen it?"

The big servant girl Xia Tao shook her head: "The Yao's academy was rebuilt by the old matriarch himself. The servants only know that it took a lot of time and invited many people, but what it looks like...the servants really didn't go. visited."

Mrs. Yao decided to take a look over there sometime.

In the evening, she mentioned this matter to Uncle Yao.

Uncle Yao was startled for a moment, but then he came to his senses and said with a smile, "I didn't expect someone to fall in love with it... However, the new-style huts at the academy are indeed different from the ones here, you have time tomorrow. You can go and see, and you will know when the time comes."

His mysterious face aroused Mrs. Yao's curiosity: "Even if it is different, it is also a place for servants to go to the toilet. How can he, a gentleman, have never seen the world and be so surprised? And now the bookstore is open. , there are a group of scholars coming in and out, and I am a woman, so I am too embarrassed to join the crowd of men..."

"Not only is the new-style hut built in the bookstore, but also the academy at the back. You can go to the academy to see it. I also learned there that a toilet can play so many tricks, but it takes up a lot of space and takes a lot of space. .”

……

Mrs. Yao didn't know whether it was going to cost or not, but after hearing what Uncle Yao said, she became even more curious.

When Yao Anxin went to school the next day, Mrs. Yao went there with her.

"You want to go to the academy too? Mother, what are you going to do?" Yao Anxin was a little surprised when she heard that Mrs. Yao was going.

She had been studying there for so long, only her mother had been there at the beginning, and she hadn't been there since then, why is her mother suddenly going there now?
Mrs. Yao was embarrassed to say that she went to see the new-style hut, so she made an excuse: "It's cold, isn't it? I'm worried that you won't get used to it there, so I want to go and have a look."

"Mother, there is nothing to worry about. There are charcoal fires in the classroom and the study room, and the people below will prepare Mrs. Tang in advance. It's not cold at all. You, it's better to worry less and rest more when you have nothing to do." When Yao Anxin was talking, she noticed that her mother's complexion had improved a lot during this time, probably because the nursing prescriptions given by the old lady worked.
