Chapter 187 Recruiting apprentices
Twenty Wen a catty is not too little, compared to those cheating dentists, I don't know how much better it is.Everyone didn't take Joe at the moment, so they happily sold these mushrooms to Qingfenglou.

The shopkeeper asked someone to come over and weigh the mushrooms one by one. There were a total of 230 four catties, and a total of four taels and 68 copper coins were sold.The shopkeeper asked someone to withdraw money to take Qiulin.

Everyone sold the mushrooms and walked out of Qingfeng Building happily. They were not in a hurry to settle the accounts at the moment, and directly counted the money on the street. They were really a little afraid of being robbed!After selling the mushrooms, Qiulin and Heyi Huaihua found a place to sell baskets, dustpans and handkerchiefs and sachets.And Qiuyue and Mei Xiang went to Han Dong's workshop.

When selling mushrooms just now, Qiuyue specially left two or three catties, which was sent to her uncle and the others to eat.They buy everything they eat when they eat in the town. The mushrooms are just right for them, and they can be used to make soup and stir-fry vegetables.

Everyone talked and laughed, and soon arrived at Uncle Qiuyue's workshop.During the day to make a living, the door of the workshop was open, and Qiuyue walked in directly. After scanning for a week, there was no one in the shop.Qiuyue walked into the yard again, and now only the "woo-woo" sound of the knife sawing the huge log could be heard in the yard.Qiuyue strolled over, "Uncle and third cousin, are you still busy?" Qiuyue walked to an open door and looked in, just in time to see Uncle and the others working in full swing in the room. It's work, Qiulin hurriedly called out cheerfully.

It's been a long time since I haven't seen my uncle and the others, and I really miss them a little.Seeing her uncle and the others working so hard, Qiuyue felt a little distressed in her heart.

"Qiuyue, why are you here?" Several people in the room were sawing wood shavings in full swing, but they heard someone shouting outside the room. They thought it was an auditory hallucination just now, but when they looked up at the door, they really saw a figure.Take a closer look, who is that girl if it's not Qiuyue?
"Hey, didn't I miss you?" Qiuyue said sweetly, and Qiuyue looked around again, but there was no sign of anyone else, so she couldn't help asking: "Uncle, aunt, why didn't you see her?" No Did the eldest aunt come to take care of their daily necessities? Why didn't they see anyone?

Han Dong asked Han Yichen to go out to greet Qiuyue, and he and Han Xun were still working hand in hand. "Your eldest aunt went to wash clothes by the river, and she went there after eating. It's been a while, and she will be back soon. My son, give your cousin some water to drink."

It turned out to be the case, Qiuyue nodded, and said again: "Uncle, don't greet me, I came here to ask if your workshop still recruits apprentices?"

Hearing this, Han Dong stopped what he was doing, and thought about it for a while. The business in this workshop is getting better and better. The three of them alone are too busy to do it. Finding an apprentice to come over is also a must. good.So Han Dong nodded, "I'm recruiting, why, does anyone you know want to learn this?" Although being a carpenter is much more tiring than farming at home, it can make a lot of money quickly, and this skill is still quite good. promising.

Qiuyue said with a smile: "I just talked to his sister a few times, and I haven't told her brother yet. I don't know if he is willing or not. I will tell him after I go back. Well, uncle three uncles Cousin, I’ll be leaving first. When my aunt comes back, say hello to her for me. By the way, I went to the woods to pick up some mushrooms a few days ago, and I brought some over here to let my aunt cook. You can make soup. There are people waiting for me outside the house, so I won't delay any longer."

Han Dong originally thought that Qiuyue was alone, so he wanted to keep her for dinner.However, I heard from her that there are quite a lot of people, so it may not be easy to operate.He just nodded, "Okay, tell that kid later, we have food and shelter here, and if you are an apprentice, you don't get much money a month, maybe one or two taels of silver a month."

Qiuyue thought about it for a while. Generally, there is no money to be taken as an apprentice in these workshops. Uncle and the others can get a tael of money here, which is considered good.Qiuyue nodded, "I'll definitely bring this to you. Uncle, you guys are busy first, so I'll leave first. They are still waiting outside the house, so they might be in a hurry." After bidding farewell to Han Dong, Qiuyue , and hurried out of the shop.

"How about it, what did your uncle and the others say?" Qiuyue mentioned this, and Mei Xiang also took this matter to heart. It is obviously good for her elder brother to learn this skill.It is always good to have a skill at your side.

Qiuyue glanced at the anxious Mei Xiang, with a comfortable smile on her face. "My uncle said that they are recruiting apprentices. They are in charge of food and housing, and there is still one tael of silver a month. You can take this back and tell brother Xu Hai. I think it's good. My uncle and the others are all sympathetic. A kind person will never treat your elder brother badly!" Qiuyue assured her.

As an apprentice, he not only manages food and housing, but also earns a tael of silver every month. Mei Xiang was very moved by hearing this, and couldn't help but get up very happy. She wished she could turn into a bird and fly to her home to tell her elder brother the news. "Enen, you can tell from this treatment. Qiuyue, your mother's relatives are really easy to talk to, much better than your father's relatives!"

When Qiuyue entered the workshop, Mei Xiang was still worried!The uncles and uncles of Qiuyue's family are all small-bellied and vicious. She was afraid that Aunt Han's natal family would be similar. Facts have proved that she was worrying for nothing. It turns out that the third uncle of Qiuyue's family is so talkative!Mei Xiang scratched her head in embarrassment, it seemed that she had lost her mind.

"Of course, Uncle and the others dote on us. Give me rice and meat, how can it be like those people?" People's feelings are mutual. People on grandma's side treat their family better, and Qiuyue and the others are also special. People who like that big family.As for the family of the uncle and the third uncle, Qiuyue is full of anger when she mentions it, how can she like it at all?
"Okay, I'll help you with this matter too. You can ask your elder brother if he would like to come. Let's go to the street and see how the little girls are selling things." Qiuyue saw Mei Xiang Still stunned in place, she couldn't help pushing her, this little girl didn't know what she was thinking, she was so fascinated by it.

Only then did Mei Xiang come to her senses, and she nodded her head if there was nothing.Returning to the lively market again, everyone's hearts jumped for joy.When I went to some places in Qiulin that sold things, it seemed that there were really many people and strength, and the things were selling almost all of them.The remaining ones were also sold at low prices.After selling things, everyone walked back and forth to the thatched shed where the ox carts were kept.

When we came here, everyone’s backpacks were full of mushrooms, but now they are empty, with nothing in them. It’s a bit uncomfortable to carry an empty backpack.

After everyone got on the bullock cart, the bullock cart hadn't driven far.A few children sat cross-legged on the cart and began to calculate their accounts.When the shopkeeper of Qingfenglou handed over the money just now, Qiulin specially asked him to give all the copper coins, so that it would be easier to divide the account now.

After dividing the accounts, the Qiulin sisters shared a total of [-] Wen, plus the money for selling baskets, dustpans, handkerchiefs and sachets, more than one or two taels of silver.Although the money is not too much for them today, they still enjoy the pleasure of making money.A tael of silver is also money!
