The ugly princess

Chapter 145 The Lively Refreshment Party
"That's fine, otherwise, there are so many blocks of empty land in the wasteland, it would be too wasteful, but Yu'er, wouldn't it be a waste of money to hire seven or eight helpers?

Otherwise, Dad works harder every day and does more work, so you should hire less people. "

When Gu Qingmu thought that Gu Qingyu only gave the Gu family 25 taels of silver today, he was afraid that she would be too nervous about money.

"Father, brother Huzi sold those two pieces of silk for me for 29 taels of silver, so you don't have to worry about it, I can arrange the money myself.

Such a large piece of wasteland can be done with more people, and then someone will have to cut bamboo to fence the chicken farm. Seven or eight people are already considered a small number. "

Gu Qingyu shook her head and said, time is money, she will not delay the opportunity to make big money just to save a little money.

The next morning, the news that Gu Qingyu's family was recruiting male helpers spread throughout the village. Each person received [-] Wen a day, plus lunch. As soon as the news came out, it spread throughout the village in an instant.

Although this kind of treatment sounds very attractive, many people think that Gu Qingyu's family only borrowed more than twenty taels of silver from the manor yesterday.

Their family must be very poor now, and if they want to hire so many people at once, they will definitely not be able to pay them.

And they heard that Aunt Huang and the others had helped Gu Qingyu's family with work for half a month, and Gu Qingyu's family hadn't paid them half of the wages yet, so many people were laughing at Aunt Huang and the others for being stupid.

Therefore, when Gu Qingyu's family was looking for male helpers this time, few people were willing to go.

In the end, it was not easy for Li to find seven people for Gu Qingyu's family.

Among them are Da Ni's father, Da Ni's grandfather, and the old man Xu who spoke for Gu Qingmu yesterday, his two sons, Hu Zi's cousin, and Li Zheng also came. Help, seven people in total.

To tell the truth, these people who came here are very much in line with Gu Qingyu's wishes, they are all real people.

Gu Qingyu is a person who knows how to be grateful. These people can choose to trust her family and help her family in such a difficult situation. Naturally, she will not treat them badly.

For lunch in the next two days, Gu Qingyu prepared good meals for the men working in the wasteland.

Every meal includes big steamed buns, rice, stir-fried minced meat with beans and olives, braised fish, green vegetables, big bone soup, and non-stop supply of herbal tea all day. .

"Girl Yu, the food in your family is almost catching up with that of the big family, and we have made a lot of money this time." Li Zheng said with a smile.

"Grandpa Lizheng, you work so hard and treat you better, isn't that right? It's my family's good fortune to find such a good helper like you."

Gu Qingyu looked at the crowd and said with a smile, her mouth seemed to have been smeared with honey, who wouldn't like to hear such an obedient message?

"Haha, you girl can really talk." Everyone was overjoyed.

"Uncles, when the work is finished, I'll cook you a big meal." Gu Qingyu said with a sweet smile.

"Third son, you have such a good daughter, but you really envy us to death."

Uncle Xu patted Gu Qingmu's shoulder, and looked at Gu Qingyu with eyes full of admiration. It's really good that a little girl can do things so generously and decently.

"Haha, I, Yu'er, is really good. I don't even know where I got the blessing from?"

Gu Qing hesitated, and embarrassedly boasted. He had never lived like these two days in his life. He was really happy.

The men in the wasteland are all laughing and laughing!

But some people like it and some people hate it. Those men in the village who didn't come to Gu Qingyu's house to work as helpers, after hearing about the food provided by Gu Qingyu's house, they were all envious.

As a small helper, they eat big fish and meat every day. How many times a year do they rarely taste the smell of meat?
But when he thought of Gu Qingyu's family being so poor, he became jealous, just like Aunt Liang and the others were jealous of Aunt Huang and the others.

This group of men felt that Lizheng and the others would definitely not get paid in a few days, and the thought of this made them feel much more relieved!
……

Busy with wasteland matters these two days, Gu Qingyu was so busy that her waist almost broke.

In the evening, after Gu Qingyu swallowed a elixir given by Granny Yan, she lay alone on the bed, picked up a bronze mirror, and took a closer look at her face, it was now a little paler than when she first arrived.

Originally, the pimples were all gone, only some pimple marks remained, and the face grew some meat, which made it look a little bit better, but I can't say how much it has changed.

"Old lady Yan said that the elixir she gave will take three months, and each month is a stage, and there will be obvious changes in each stage.

It's been a month since I took this pill tonight, okay, let's sleep well first, let's see what changes will happen tomorrow? "Maybe she was too tired to panic, Gu Qingyu fell asleep in a short while.

……

The next day, the manor was extremely lively early in the morning. Behind the yard where the workers lived in the manor, there was a huge blue tile house. The name of this blue tile house was 'Welcome Pavilion'.

The first floor is very spacious. In addition to the neatly arranged tables and chairs, there is also a stage. As long as there are any large-scale events in the manor, they will be held here.

There are six large rooms on the second floor, mainly for entertaining more distinguished clients. Standing in the corridor at the door of the rooms, you can clearly see the stage downstairs, tables and so on.

Today, a festive red carpet was spread on the floor of the Yingke Pavilion, and the Eight Immortals table was neatly arranged, and the guests will arrive in half an hour.

The servants of the manor shuttled between the Eight Immortals tables in an orderly manner, busy placing dried fruits on the Eight Immortals tables, as well as fresh fruits from the manor, fine wine and so on.

The tea party is held every year in the manor, but the dates are randomly set, basically in the second half of the year, mainly to thank the customers for their support to the manor over the past year.

This refreshment meeting is also a gathering of early adopters in the hearts of the guests. Every year at this refreshment meeting, the manor will provide some fresh and strange food for the guests, and there are always surprises.

These surprises will often become the best-selling new products in the next year, so most of the customers of Xinqi Manor are unwilling to miss such a good opportunity, and this refreshment will make many people flock to it.

A few days ago, Gu Qingyu had asked Huzi about the specific information about the refreshment party.

Huzi told her that this refreshment meeting was equivalent to a meeting of early adopters, and there would be a eating competition. When Gu Qingyu heard this, her thoughts suddenly rose again.

Today she purposely came to the Yingke Pavilion fifteen minutes earlier, but what surprised her was that once she entered the Yingke Pavilion, since the inside was already crowded with people, she was probably the last one to come.

Gu Qingyu looked around the room carefully, let me go, there are a total of thirty tables for the Eight Immortals, and almost every table is full of people, the cripple's connections are really good.
