The ugly husband of the sturdy peasant girl is spoiled by the sky

Chapter 197, How to be a housewife (3 more

Shu Xin knows that everyone has their own difficulties, and everyone has their own persistence.

She is not too reluctant.

I ordered grapefruit myself, and Ruyi and Ruyu brought sugar water and steamed buns over.

"Master, drink some sugar water first to warm up your body!"

"This, how good is this!"

"Don't be polite, sir!"

"Thank you, madam!" The old man took it, took a sip lightly, and looked slightly towards the gate, but he was reluctant to bite the steamed bun in his hand.

Shu Xin watched, feeling a little astringent in his heart.

This is what a loving father should be like.

"Ruyu, hold up an umbrella and go outside to see if there is an uncle outside. If there is, please invite him in for a bowl of brown sugar water!"

"Yes!"

Ruyu held up an umbrella and opened the courtyard door, and sure enough, she saw a man wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat wandering not far away.

Ruyu stepped forward immediately, "Uncle, you are the family member who gave the grapefruit, right?"

"Yes, I am!"

"My wife invites you in for a bowl of brown sugar water, come with me!"

Qiu Ming said, this is simply an incredible thing.

Followed Ruyu into the yard, and sure enough, he drank the sweet brown sugar water and two soft white flour steamed buns.

Shu Xin gave the money to the old man, and the old man took Qiu Ming away with a thousand thanks.

Shu Xin picked a grapefruit and peeled it, and took three more for Ruyu and the others to share among the big guys. After eating for a while, he began to pick out a few good, big ones with enough weight, and prepared to send them to Jingyi The Shu family, send three more to the Dai family.

Although I don't look down on the elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law, but this is a godfather and an in-law, so it is naturally different.

It's hard to break.

Hearing the knock on the door, Shu Xin raised his eyebrows, "Who is it?"

Ruyi went to open the door immediately, and saw Qingqing, Shu Qin, and Shu Qi, and hurriedly said, "It's Miss Qingqing, Second Miss, and Third Miss!"

Shu Xin wondered why they came here?

Ruyi has already gone to the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks.

"Sister, you bought grapefruit again!"

"Yeah, I just bought it for a while, picked out a few good ones, and planned to have Jingyi send them over, so you guys came here, and your nose is brilliant!"

Shu Qin and Shu Qi laughed, peeled the grapefruit and ate it, "This time it tastes better and has more moisture!"

"That's because it's raining, so there's plenty of water!"

"Indeed!"

Qingqing also peeled it and ate it, "Little brother and Yaomei talk about grapefruits and grapefruits every day, but they are talking about grapefruits, and we will take them back later. I don't know what joy it will be like!"

"It's been a drought this year, but they've been wronged!" Shu Xin laughed.

"I can't say I'm wronged. Compared with other children, they are still happy. They are better than the top and the bottom is more than the bottom. You can't get too used to it. The younger brother and sister Yao are very good, and you know who loves them!"

Shu Xin smiled and said nothing.

In the torrential rain.

Old man Qiu, Qiu Ming and his son walked forward quickly.

"Father, how much is the grapefruit sold this time?"

"More than 20 grapefruits, 45 Wen each, one or two more silver, plus the last time, just enough for your mother to see a doctor and get medicine. When it doesn't rain this day, let's go to the mountains to get some game and send it. Some money, this wife is a kind and kind person, and there are some crooked grapefruits at home, next time you bring them to her!"

"I see that lady is well-dressed and well-dressed, will you dislike her?" Qiu Ming asked.

"If it was in the past, I would definitely look down on it. Now this year, it is already good. Our thick-skinned oranges are also growing well this year. When they are ripe, you pick them and send them. Remember, don't talk too much. Look less, just take the money and leave, although the master is kind, you can see that her maids and mother-in-law are serving her, she must not be an ordinary family, do you remember what I said?"

"Remember Dad!"

"Well, when your mother recovers and saves money at home, I will marry you a daughter-in-law!"

"There is no rush to marry a wife!"

"Then don't worry, you are over 20!"

In fact, there is no requirement for this family, as long as it is a woman, she can have children, crazy and stupid are fine.

They live in that ravine, and they don't come out a few times throughout the year. No one is willing to marry there.

Qiu Ming pursed his lips and remained silent.

He is also anxious, but there are some things that can't be rushed, and they always have to wait for fate.

If he can't, he will come down the mountain to marry him. He has hands, feet and strength, so someone will definitely want him.

Shen house
After eating grapefruit, Qingqing talked about the food situation at home.

"Did you buy so many?"

"Some are bought, some are from my own home, but most of them are bought. Now there is so much food, if the weather is good, it's okay to store it, but it's raining all the time, and I don't know when it will rain. I'm afraid it will get moldy if the humidity is too heavy!"

After hearing the words, Shu Xin thought for a while and said, "Now we have two ways. One is to sell the grain. The price now is definitely higher than before. We are making money. The second is to make food and sell it, which will be cheaper than selling grain." Make more money and help more people!"

"Ah Xin has already made plans?" Qingqing asked.

"Almost, I have really figured out how to deal with these grains!"

"Tell me!"

"You see, there are quite a lot of people in my yard, and I only serve me every day. I don't need so many people to serve me, so I find something for them to do. Let's open a steamed bun and steamed bun shop. In the morning, buns, steamed buns and porridge, Buy pasta at noon, and give them wages every month!"

Qingqing pondered for a moment, "You want to make money?"

"Making money is one thing. On the other hand, I hope that Chu Jing and the others will be more gregarious. Since I keep them by my side, I hope that they are all honest and laughable, not cold-faced, young, even happy. I don't know how to do it!"

"Then when do you plan to open it? How do you open it? How many people do you need?" Qingqing asked.

Shu Xin also became interested, "Come on, let's study it carefully. It is not realistic to open an embroidery workshop in this weather. The fabric is easy to get wet, and it is troublesome for the embroiderer to come and go. It is better to open this food shop, which is all cash. , in today's world, selling food is a good thing with huge profits!"

"It is!"

The sisters quickly discussed a charter.

Where does this shop open, there must be several fronts and several tables.

Plan out one by one.

"The first step is to ask everyone what they mean, are you willing to go out to work! The second step is to find a shop, the third step is to repair it, the fourth step is to buy tables and benches, pots and pans, steamers and a set of utensils, the third step It takes five steps to give the shop a name, and finally it is grand opening!"

But the first step is to ask everyone what they mean.

Shu Xin called everyone over, including Aunt Fat's family of four.

"I plan to open a food shop outside. I will definitely need help on weekdays. What I mean is to let you go. I will pay you a salary every month. The money must be more than the monthly silver, but the work is sure. There are many, it depends on your own wishes, if you want to go, go, if you don't want to go, don't go!"

Chu Jing and the others are willing, Ruyi and the other three are also willing, and the four wives are even more willing. Now, two hundred cash a month, working in a shop costs seven or eight hundred cash, a lot of money in a year Woolen cloth.

After saving for ten or eight years, the money for the elderly will be available.

There are quite a few people starving to death nowadays. If you are lucky, you will get the kindness of your wife, marry an old man, and rely on each other.

I can still serve on my wife's side, and the two couples also have a care.

"I am willing!"

"I would too!"

"Me too……"

Fat Aunt laughed out loud, "Then you go, I will stay at home and have a mouthful of hot water to drink when I come back!"

Fat Uncle also laughed, he followed Aunt Fat.

The fat uncle's son and Shuang Niang thought for a while before saying, "Let's run the errands!"

"Since everyone is willing, let's take the first step. Jingyi, go to the brokerage to see if there are any shops for sale. We want to buy larger ones. It is best to connect three or four shops together. In this weather, It’s definitely not possible to eat outside, you have to eat inside, the place must be bigger!” Shu Xin talked about his plan, and let everyone express their opinions.

Everyone has their own opinions. They whispered at first, and after being affirmed by Shu Xin and everyone, their voices became louder.

Qingqing kept memorizing, and after everything was said, she and Shu Xin summarized and sorted it out, and said it again for what was useful, and the matter was settled.

Jingyi didn't dare to delay, as soon as Shu Xin agreed, he went out to the brokerage firm and invited the manager of the brokerage firm over.

The shopkeeper of the brokerage firm was considered to be a well-informed person in Conghe Town, and when he saw Shu Xin, he recognized Shu Xin's identity.

In addition, Shen Duowang bought the house from him at the beginning without even paying back the price, so he was deeply impressed. Later, Shen Duowang bought the yard next door, so it was hard for him not to remember Shen Duowang.

"I don't know if Madam called the little one, what's your order?"

"I don't have any instructions. I just want to ask the shopkeeper if there are any shops selling in twos connected to each other recently. It doesn't matter if the location is good or not, but it must be big!"

"To tell you the truth, Madam, there are a lot of people selling shops in the town recently, and the price is much cheaper than before. If Madam wants to buy it, it is the most suitable time to buy it. When the disaster is over, it doesn't matter whether you rent it or sell it. Can make a fortune!"

"Then is there any store I want?"

"Three or four rooms may not be connected together, but if there are separate ones, you can buy them and open up the middle, so that you can find a good location!"

Hearing this, Shu Xin felt that what the shopkeeper said was somewhat reasonable, "Then the shopkeeper will take my sister to have a look!"

Qingqing must know what she wants.

She was relieved to see Qingqing.

"it is good!"

Qingqing went, Shu Qin and Shu Qi followed.

The yamen sent people to get the steamed buns, and Shu Xin asked them to take away the finished steamed buns.

yamenli

Zhencheng, surnamed Jiang, was a middle-aged man in his early 30s, and he took a servant and a housekeeper to take up his post. He had no money or people, let alone food.

Sun Shi left another mess.

As soon as he came, he encountered a landslide and buried a small mountain village. It happened that Shen Duowang arrived at the Yamen, and the two discussed that they must bring people to rescue.

But the yamen has to manage two steamed buns for one person, and Shen Duowang gave him this.

That is manpower.

Huzi brought people here, and now Huzi still has prestige in Conghe Town, and everyone is willing to follow him to save people.

Coupled with the mandatory requirement that a family must have one person from house to house, hundreds of people were organized at once, and wandered to the buried small mountain village.

Those with horse-drawn carts went first, those with ox carts went second, and those who walked without anything came last.

When they arrived at the small mountain village, everyone looked at the watery area, and their eyes widened in surprise.

The small mountain village has been buried below, and now it seems that there is no need to save these people.

There were people crying nearby, but not many.

Only those who went out to make a living or borrowed things from relatives, many of them were suppressed by mudslides last night, and then submerged by floods.

"It should be that the earth cow turned over and sank the small mountain village first, forming a lake, and then the mountain torrent came, and the flood completely submerged the small mountain village!" Jiang Zhencheng whispered.

Shen Duowang looked solemn on the side.

Many people were silent and did not dare to speak too much. After all, even if there were only dozens of households in a small mountain village, it would have hundreds of people, just overnight.

"Master Zhencheng..."

Jiang Zhencheng took a deep breath, "Let's go, let's press back blindly!"

He looked at the man kneeling on the ground crying again.

Not only did they lose their loved ones, they also lost their homes.

Jiang Zhencheng watched, "Now you have nowhere to go, why don't you go back to the Yamen with me, and I will arrange an errand for you, and you will have something to rely on in this life!"

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Jiang Zhencheng shook his head, "This small village is under this lake. I'm afraid it's not easy to dig them out. We can only let them sleep at the bottom of this lake. Maybe someday in the future, they will see the sun again, but no one can say when that day is." No!"

"That's what the lord said!"

These people can't be dug up.

The group hurried back to the yamen again, counted the number of people, and each person could get two steamed buns.

Some people think it's less, but some people think it's not bad to get two steamed buns for a waste of time.

At least it will fill you up.

When Shen Duowang came home, Qingqing, Shu Qin, and Shu Qi had already gone back, and Shu Xin was resting on the bed. Shen Duowang watched, smiled, and went into the room to wash up.

Hearing the sound of water, Shu Xin woke up, and Shen Duowang came out after washing, "Did anyone be saved?"

"Those people were all submerged under the lake, except for the four or five people who were not in the village, they all died, and May Day survived!"

Hearing this, Shu Xin was stunned for a long time before he said, "Amitabha, I hope God will bless them, and they will be reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss as soon as possible!"

Overnight, the sky fell apart.

Shen Duowang rubbed Shu Xin's head, "Don't think about it!"

Chu Jing and Chu Tong brought tea over, put it aside and left the house, staying outside under the eaves.

Shu Xin pursed his lips while watching, and asked Shen Duowang to drink tea, "Chu Jing, you guys go and get some food!"

"Yes!"

Soon the food was served, and Shen Duowang ate.

Only then did Shu Xin slowly talk about his plan to open a restaurant, "I originally wanted to open an embroidery workshop first, but now there is a lot of food at home, and the weather is extremely humid, so let's open a restaurant first, and then go to the embroidery workshop!"

"Is the shop ready?"

"Qingqing and the others went to see it, but they didn't see anything suitable. Now that it's raining continuously, there aren't many shops open in the town, and there aren't many people coming and going. Nowadays, the business of eating and drinking shops is pretty good. Rich people always I want to use the money to buy some food to go back and give the family a change of appetite!"

Shen Duowang nodded.

Shu Xin continued, "We sell steamed buns, steamed buns, and pasta. They are not particularly expensive. People can afford them with a bit of money. It should make fewer people starve to death!"

"It's possible, why don't you open a food shop, I'll open a martial arts gym, now some people are selling their sons, let's buy some back, I will teach them martial arts personally, and it's good to set up a family guard, if there are bandits in the future. I can protect myself!"

The husband and wife discussed it.

It's just that it's raining all the time, and it's not convenient to get in and out of the house with wet shoes.

"Why don't we go live with our mother-in-law? You see, Chu Jing and Chu Tong can only watch under the eaves when you are at home. It's a good day, but once it gets cold, they will freeze to death! "

"Did you name them?" Shen Duowang asked in surprise.

Most of the time, he doesn't say much, but he knows that Shu Xin has a sense of proportion.

"Well, take it, I was still a little tender before, and I don't quite understand the meaning of the four words of being a housewife. By the way, help me find a nanny who understands the rules. I want to learn the rules!"

"We're looking for it, don't worry, we have to find a suitable one!" Shen Duowang said, and then said after a pause, "Why don't we buy a big house next door to my mother-in-law!"

"Someone seems to live there, will they sell it?"

"The money is given in place, and in this year, it will be sold!"

"Then you go and walk around, but let's talk about it first, we don't allow robbery, you're not a bandit!"

"You miss your husband-in-law like this?" Shen Duowang raised his eyebrows, and handed the rice bowl to Shu Xin, "Add a bowl of rice to my husband!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Shu Xin added food to Shen Duowang and watched Shen Duowang eat.

After eating, Shen Duowang saw that it was still early, so he asked Jingyi to drive the carriage out the door.

The carriage stopped at the Zhang Mansion next door to Shu's house.

Shen Duowang said that he also wanted to see their master, but the servant hesitated for a moment and immediately went to report.

The old lady of the Zhang family is very old, nearly ninety years old, and the old man in charge is also 70 years old, but he doesn't manage much, but the son below.

Master Zhang is 50 years old this year.

There is already a grandson below, and this family can be regarded as having five generations under one roof.

But recently the Zhang family has encountered some troubles...
