The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 248 Preparation 1
Han Qianluo suddenly discovered that there are too many things to prepare for opening a restaurant, and these things cannot be entrusted to others, because other people don't know what she is thinking, so she has to do all these things herself do it.

After leaving Buxing, Han Qianluo looked at the sky and found that it was getting late, so he went back.Early the next morning, Han Qianluo went out to find a carpenter. She planned to replace some of the traditional tables and seats in the restaurant with tables, chairs and benches, so she went to find a carpenter.

Han Qianluo knew a carpenter, and he was familiar with it because he had been making furniture there for a long time. This time, he also planned to hand over these tables, chairs and benches to this carpenter, and the most important thing was that because he had made furniture here many times, the carpenter She knows exactly what kind of furniture she is going to make. If it were an unfamiliar carpenter, she would definitely have to explain for a long time, which is really troublesome.

Sure enough, the carpenter easily understood Han Qianluo's request, and happily expressed that he would make this batch of tables, chairs and benches as soon as possible.

The time in the morning is always shorter, and it was almost noon after finishing this matter, so Han Qianluo had to go back to eat, and in the afternoon, he had to find someone to order a batch of dishes. These things were very cumbersome and troublesome .

Another day came in a blink of an eye. Today, Han Qianluo had to go to Zhishi to look for the matchmaker, so he went out after breakfast, and went directly to the matchmaker's shop. When he arrived at the shop, there happened to be a woman talking with The prostitute was discussing buying servants, so she had to stand aside and wait.

After a while, the woman finally finished the discussion and left. Han Qianluo hurried over, and before she could speak, the matchmaker first apologized and said, "I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting, please sit down."

Han Qianluo sat down on a stool beside him, and asked directly, "I don't know if I have found the person I need?"

"Not at all. There are not many cooks in the first place, and if there are no accidents, they will not change employers. In addition to your conditions, it is really difficult to find a cook. I haven't found one." The matchmaker said a little embarrassedly, It seemed that she felt embarrassed that she didn't handle this matter well, but the most fundamental reason might be that she didn't get the commission.

Han Qianluo was a little disappointed that he couldn't find a cook, but as a restaurant, a cook is a must and cannot be lacking, so this problem must be solved. She thought about it, so she could only ask the matchmaker to help her pay attention , and then left here to prepare other things.

After leaving the matchmaker's shop, Han Qianluo planned to prepare other things. After doing it for a while, he suddenly found that there was a crowd of people gathered in front of him. Although there were always a lot of people here, gatherings were rare, so He walked over curiously, intending to see what was going on.

Han Qianluo walked over and found a boy kneeling here, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a white mourning dress, and there was a piece of cloth in front of Qian, with four words written on it: sell one's body to bury his father.

What a cliché!Han Qianluo couldn't help thinking, seeing this scene, the first thing she thought of was cheating money, because she had seen a lot of cheating tricks like "going home without money" in her previous life, so her first reaction was to cheat money, so she also Without continuing to watch, he turned around and left, continuing to do his own thing.

It was almost noon when the matter was finished, and Han Qianluo also returned along the original road, preparing to go home for lunch, but when he returned, he found that the boy was still kneeling where he was. There were very few people, so she saw that there was something covered with a mat not far behind the boy, which seemed to be a person, and she couldn't help thinking, could it really be that he sold his body to bury his father?

Holding such doubts, Han Qianluo walked up to the boy, and took a serious look at the boy. After this observation, he found that the boy was very thin. Because he was so thin, his eyes felt a little sunken. The whole person is also pale and thin.

The boy kept his head down, but after noticing Han Qianluo, he quickly raised his head and said eagerly, "Ma'am, please do me a favor and buy me."

As soon as the boy opened his mouth, Han Qianluo realized that he was not a local here, but probably came from another place, so he asked, "You came from other places, why did you come here?"

"Yes, my father and I escaped from famine." The boy explained in a low voice, looking very sad.

"Fleeing famine, did any disaster happen there?" Han Qianluo asked suspiciously, why didn't he hear any news from here?
The boy lowered his head again, and explained in a low voice: "Last year, the weather was very dry, and the crops in the field were not harvested. Seeing that the weather is good today, the crops in the field are growing well, but when the harvest is about to come, a sudden arrival A single locust ate all the crops in the field overnight, and there was not even a leaf left, so it had no choice but to escape."

"How could there be any news of such a serious situation?" Han Qianluo couldn't help but asked in doubt, but she felt that this boy should not be confused about this kind of problem.

Sure enough, the boy shook his head and said with a puzzled look: "I don't know, probably because we are too far away." As he spoke, his expression suddenly became anxious, and he begged: "Madam, please buy me!" .”

Han Qianluo hesitated for a moment, and decided to buy the boy, so he took the boy to sign the contract of sale. After signing the contract of sale, it was already very late, it was already noon, and Han Qianluo was already hungry. The chest stuck to the back, so he said to the boy: "Go to my house for dinner first, and I will let someone accompany you to buy a coffin after dinner."

The boy paused for a moment, and then he was about to carry his dead father on his back and go back with Han Qianluo. Fortunately, Han Qianluo stopped him in time after seeing his movements and said, "Put your father on the ground first." Behind the shop." Then he took the boy to the shop, asked him to put his father in the small space behind the shop, covered it with a piece of sackcloth, and then took the boy back.

Han Qianluo took the boy back, and the servants at home just looked at him curiously, but Liu Linchu directly asked the boy when he saw the boy, "Xiao Luo, who is this?"

"I saw it in the market. They fled from the famine, and their father died. They wanted to sell themselves to bury their father, so I bought it." Han Qianluo replied, and then changed the subject quickly, clutching his stomach and saying: "Hungry I'm dead, can I eat?"

"Well, let's go eat."

After lunch, Han Qianluo asked the boy at home to take the boy to buy a coffin and bury his father, while she herself planned to go out to find a suitable cook, so she went to the study to talk to Liu Linchu. Said: "Linchu, I'm going out."

"Should I go out and find the cook?" Liu Linchu said, standing up and walking over.

Han Qianluo nodded, and said a little depressed, "The matchmaker said it's hard to find a cook, so I'm going to go out and look for it, maybe I can find it."

But Liu Linchu said: "Actually, I don't think it is necessary to be a cook. Anyway, no matter whether you were a cook before or not, it doesn't help much in learning how to cook those dishes. It's better to just buy a servant and let him learn. It will save trouble and be at ease."

After thinking about it, Han Qianluo felt that this was a good idea. There was really no need to find a cook, and it would be good to train one by himself, so he no longer planned to go out to find a cook, and just bought a servant. The age is not good, it is the time when the learning ability is good, just enough for that boy to learn to be a cook.

Although she decided not to go out to find the cook, she still had to go out because she had other things to do, so she said, "Then I'll go out and prepare other things."

"I'll go with you, let's go faster together." Liu Linchu said suddenly, then quickly packed up the things on the desk, and went out together holding Han Qianluo's hand.

After walking a few steps, Han Qianluo suddenly thought of a question, so he quickly asked: "How is the house outside the city? Is it already under construction?"

"Well, construction is already underway," Liu Linchu said.

Han Qianluo was very happy when he heard that, and quickly said: "That's really great, where is it, if I have time some other day, I must go and have a look."

Liu Linchu smiled dotingly and said, "Brother and I are the ones over there, so you don't have to worry about it, just concentrate on getting things done here."

"Ah."

In the evening, when Han Qianluo finished his business and returned home, he found that the boy had already returned, so he asked, "Have you finished your father's business?"

"Thank you Madam for your concern. It's almost done, and we can be buried tomorrow." The boy also said sadly.

Han Qianluo looked at him looking sad, and couldn't say what he was going to say, so he just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad, your father definitely doesn't want you to be so sad."

"Thank you ma'am, the slave is going to work." The boy said politely, and was ready to work consciously.

However, Han Qianluo was not used to hearing the word "slave". She said to the boy, "Don't call yourself a slave in the future, I don't like to hear these two words." The slave at home was taught a lesson by Han Shuier, so he added, "From now on, you can just call yourself 'I' in front of me."

"Thank you ma'am, I'm going to work." The boy, that is, Han Dong said a little moved, and then hurried to work, and Han Qianluo was also busy with his own affairs.
