Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

Chapter 25 The main feature is a simple and rude one!
The old man walked around the room with his hands behind his back, and finally said, "I will go back to the clan leader and ask the clan members to help. If nothing else, ice cutting and transportation can always help.

"As for the craftsmen who know how to carve, find someone you know. Our family will provide labor or food, and you can decide the price."

Tai Jizong responded immediately, "Okay, Dad, I'll go find someone right away."

Tai Jizu also said, "Father, you can't walk at night by yourself, let Yong'an go back with you."

The old man waved his hand and said proudly, "The Min family gave so much deposit, how could I wrong myself? Hiring a carriage this time makes it easy to come and go without wasting time."

Everyone laughed along. Indeed, compared to the wages of tens of taels of silver, the tens of pennies for hiring a carriage are nothing.

Soon, the old man and Tai Jizong went out together. While the city gate was still open, they hired two carriages and went separate ways.

When Tai Jiye came back from the Min family happily, he heard that his father and second brother had already gone to find helpers. He was so happy that he quickly invited his eldest brother and sister-in-law to discuss it.

The Min Mansion has five front and back entrances, occupying a large area. If they were all decorated with ice lanterns, the Tai family would not be able to do it if they were exhausted.

Fortunately, the Min family also knew that time was a bit tight.

Therefore, it is only necessary to decorate the main courtyard for the banquet, and the road from the main courtyard to the garden, plus the garden.But even with this simplification, the number of ice sculptures required cannot be less than two hundred.

The most important thing is that the river outside the city is too small, so it is better to take less ice.

If they are used in large quantities, they will have to go to Jiangchazi, twenty miles away.

Although this problem will still be a headache tomorrow, at least the old man has solved the manpower problem...

The north wind howled through the mountain village, and mischievously lifted a corner of the roof of a certain thatched house. Just as they were about to disrupt the carnival, a carriage entered the village.

Now every family can't eat enough, so naturally there is no food left to raise a dog, so there is no dog barking to report the news.

The courtyard door of Tai Sanye's family was slammed, and everyone, old and young, was shocked and did not understand what happened.

After waiting to welcome Mr. Tai into the door, and then looking at the carriage waiting outside, all the people, young and old, became even more curious.

Tai Sanye's eldest son, Tai Jicai, asked directly, "Uncle Six, are you rich?"

Old Master Tai laughed, and didn't mind his recklessness, then took his elder brother's hand and said, "Third brother, that kid Jiye is unreliable and always gets into trouble. But this time he was lucky enough to find a good job, Both Jizu and Jizong are helping in the city, but there are still not enough people.

"I want to find twenty good hands in the village to help dig ice and transport ice. It will take about three or four days. Our family will be responsible for food and lodging. The wages can be calculated at thirty cash a day, or three catties of sorghum rice.

"Look, who can spare a manpower to help me get it together."

And this good thing? !

Third Master Tai was overjoyed at the time, and directly signed up his two sons.

It's cold in winter, not everyone wants to stay at home and starve, there is really no way to make money.

Now that the work is delivered to the door, not only can it bring out a mouth, save food for the family, but also earn food back.

After a while, the heads of each family were called up, yawning, shrinking their necks, and gathered at Tai Sanye's house.

As soon as Mr. Tai talked about the matter, sure enough, the remaining dozen or so places were up for grabs.

In the end, it was Mr. Tai who spoke and gathered the relatively strong clansmen together, grabbed a bunch of long and short wooden sticks and drew lots.

The one with the long stick will go to the city, and the one with the short stick will wait for another time.

Needless to say, those who won the lottery danced and danced, while those who didn't won were dejected.

Just after midnight, everyone took their tools and drove to the city in a carriage.

Outside the city gate, he happened to meet Tai Jizong again, and he also found five or six familiar craftsmen...

As soon as the city gate opened, Tai Jiye rushed back.

He also hired seven or eight scooters, and led the crowd directly to Jiangchazi.

I thought it would be very laborious to get ice, but I didn't expect that the city defense camp not far away was digging ice to catch fish.

Not many fish were caught, but the ice cubes were thrown all over the place.

With Tai Jiye's clever mouth, there is nothing he can't do.

It was just a piece of broken silver given to the little lieutenant in charge, and the ice cube was left to be pulled back by them.

If not enough, the soldiers can help to dig some more...

Things went smoothly beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone was very motivated.

Before noon, the first batch of ice had already entered the city gate.

This is different from yesterday's small fight with a truckload of ice. Such a big fight almost attracted the attention of the whole city.

Someone asked, Tai Jiye no longer kept the secret, and responded generously, "We are doing business for the Min Mansion. Miss Min's birthday is coming soon, so there is no beautiful scenery in winter. The master and wife of the Min Mansion love their daughter very much, so they ordered Let's build a novel and beautiful ice garden!"

Ice garden? !

Even if you don't see it, just hearing three words is enough to make you yearn for.

Winter is boring, rich and idle people are afraid that there will be nothing new to see, so they can't miss it if they know it.

As a result, the Min family received news one after another from people who came to congratulate their daughter on her birthday.

The Min family sent someone to inquire, and only then did they realize that it was the Tai family who made the disturbance.

You must know that doing good deeds at home on weekdays may not necessarily earn back much prestige.

Now it's because of a few ice lamps...

As a result, Manager Min was approached by his master, who was specifically responsible for keeping an eye on the Tai family making ice lanterns and making sure nothing went wrong.

You know, the county magistrate has asked people to hand over the post, and when the time comes, bring the children in the family to congratulate and enjoy the lanterns by the way!
Manager Min simply wore thicker clothes, and took two young servants with him to stay in the broken yard in the north of the city.

Once a batch of ice lanterns are ready, they will take away a batch without any delay!

The young and old in the Tai family did not expect that this job would attract so much attention, they were all in full swing, and everyone was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground.

Thirty or so people eat together, and take turns to live in the big kang in the east and west houses at night.

Yang Lihua and Liu Dongniang took Yongning to take care of the chores. They really wished that one person could be used as ten people.

then……

Zhuzhu was sitting in Guanshi Min's arms, holding a snack in her little hand, smiling happily as she ate.

Look at this side for a while, and look at that side for a while, like a little hamster sneaking out to eat, with a bulging face, very cute.

Manager Min pulled up his cloak from time to time to cover the fat girl from the cold wind, for fear that she would freeze.

There is a brazier next to the chair, burning red charcoal. It is really not cold at all.

Yang Lihua boiled hot water and brought it out. She was very embarrassed to see this and stepped forward to thank her.

"Min Guanshi, my girl has caused you trouble."

But Guanshi Min smiled and waved his hands, and replied, "Sister-in-law Tai, you're welcome, my daughter is so old, but it's a pity that she was sent to her hometown early and is not by my side. I feel kind when I see Zhuzhu!

"Besides, Zhuzhu has helped me a lot. She said that our lady likes the beautiful lamps. It can be seen that the eyes of children are the same!"

Zhuzhu hugged the dim sum, smiled at her mother, showing two rows of small white teeth...

While the villagers were busy, they couldn't help being envious of the situation.

The Sixth Uncle's family is really lucky. Not to mention receiving errands in the city, the people who come and go are all nobles!
