peasant girl wedding

Chapter 145 Ji Guzi

The bustling streets are filled with the scent of tea, rouge and wine.

Tong Zhu'er tugged at her corner, looked back at Ji Guzi who was eating steamed buns in front of the opposite restaurant.

Tong Zhi'er noticed her expression and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you hungry too?"

Tong Zhuer shook her head.

"Second Sister, do you really want him to work as a cashier in our shop?"

After thinking for a long time, Tong Zhu'er still asked out the doubts in her heart.

After the words fell, Tong Zhixin and Tong Zhaofu also waited curiously for Tong Zhier's answer.

"Ah."

Tong Zhixin frowned, "I don't know if he will settle accounts, Zhi'er, let's give him another job."

"Father, when we go back, let's show him a ledger and we'll know."

Tong Zhixin nodded, no longer entangled with this problem, and the group went to the shop selling dry goods.

Qingzhou is worthy of being a big city, and there are several shops selling dry goods.Tong Zhixin and his team decided to buy dried fruits, dried vegetables, seasonings, preserved fruits and other dry goods at a more cost-effective shop after comparing prices, quality and appearance.There are fungus, seaweed, red dates, cinnamon, pepper, fennel, pepper, wolfberry, longan and so on.

Coming out of the dry goods store, Tong Zhixin carried a lot of things in his left and right hands.

It was still early in the day, and the few people planned to go for a walk before returning to the car.

This stroll made Tong Zhi'er discover something good.

"Father, our land will be used when we plant peanuts in March next year, right?"

Tong Zhixin nodded.

Tong Zhi'er had discovered beforehand that her village, including the surrounding villages, grew peanuts, probably because of the drought and lack of rain, which made it impossible to grow rice.

Fortunately, the price of peanuts is higher than that of rice. After we sell the peanuts, we go to the county to buy enough rice for the whole family, and we can live on.However, it is a bit of a waste to only plant peanuts for one season in the field.

When Tong Zhi'er found the wheat, he was very excited.

"Father, let's buy some wheat and plant it in the field."

Tong Zhier proposed to Tong Zhixin.

Tong Zhixin was a little embarrassed, "Zhi'er, we have never grown wheat in our village, so I don't know if we can do it well?"

"Father, let's go back and try to buy some seeds. Wouldn't it be a good thing if the planting works?" Tong Zhi'er continued.

Tong Zhixin was persuaded by her, and he also wanted to see if he could grow wheat.If possible, those families with less land in the village can have more food.

"Boss, can this wheat be planted? How much is it per catty?"

After persuading Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhi'er went to the wheat stand and asked.

"I haven't ground the wheat into flour. I can buy it myself and grind it or make seeds. How much does the girl want?"

Tong Zhi'er didn't know how many wheat seeds would be needed for one mu of land, but there was a person asking in front of him.

"Seven to eight catties of wheat seeds per mu is enough." The wheat boss said with a smile.

My family has 150 mu of land, but it is still unknown whether the climate of the village can grow wheat. Tong Zhier didn't want to waste too much money. After asking how much a catty of wheat costs, he bought wheat seeds for ten mu of land.

At another stall, they bought a set of jewelry for Fang Cuiwei, some boxes of rouge for Tong Duo'er, and some books for Tong Zhaofu that were not available in the county, and they planned to go back.

Tong Zhi'er originally wanted to buy a few picture books for Tong Zhu'er so that she could contact them, but unfortunately there were none in the bookstore.

Tong Zhixin, Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu put the things on the carriage, while Tong Zhi'er went to pick up Ji Guzi in front of the previously agreed restaurant.

Ji Guzi is really not a simple character.

Looking at him surrounded by crowds from a distance, Tong Zhi'er had such a feeling in his heart.

"Oh, boy, your handwriting is really good."

An old lady received the letter and thanked Ji Guzi.

Ji Guzi nodded lightly, with no expression on his face, but the excitement in his eyes revealed his true emotions.

"My house is short of a gentleman, you come to my house."

A middle-aged man with upturned nostrils pointed at Ji Guzi's nose.

Ji Guzi ignored him and got up to tidy up the things on the table.

His attitude annoyed the middle-aged man.

"I was talking to you, you didn't hear me?"

Ji Guzi handed over the sorted things to the lady who received the letter, turned around and walked to the corner of the restaurant to squat.

"Hey, if you don't eat a toast, you will be punished. I have to teach you the principles of life."

The middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves and angrily walked towards Ji Guzi.

Suddenly, Ji Guzi stood up and walked towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was taken aback by his actions, and then said: "Hmph, now I know I'm scared, it's too late, I'll call you a lesson if I don't teach you a lesson, I feel uncomfortable..."

Only halfway through the words, Ji Guzi bypassed him, walked straight behind him, and stood in front of Tong Zhi'er.

"Can we go?"

Tong Zhi'er nodded, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Ji Guzi didn't respond, he raised his foot and walked forward.

Tong Zhier followed him.

"Stop, sir, do I allow you to go?"

A middle-aged man shouted from behind.

Tong Zhi'er turned around and said: "This uncle, he is the accountant in my shop." The subtext is that if someone has a job, you should stop stalking him.

"Mr. accountant? How many taels of silver can a small accountant have?" The middle-aged man looked at Tong Zhi'er disdainfully, and said loudly: "Come to my house, I will give you ten taels of silver a month."

Tong Zhi'er was a little annoyed, was this person mentally ill or something, he was clearly robbing someone?She wasn't worried that Ji Guzi would be moved, after all, the integrity that Ji Guzi showed before showed that he was a very spineless person who would not bow down for five buckets of rice.

There were footsteps coming from here, Tong Zhier heard it, and the middle-aged man also saw it, and he raised his chin at Tong Zhier very proudly.

Tong Zhi'er was calm on the face, but also a little nervous in his heart.

Ji Guzi stood up in front of her, "Left or right?"

Tong Zhi'er blinked, Ji Guzi frowned, and gradually became impatient.

After a while, Tong Zhi'er realized that he was talking about the direction.

"left."

The middle-aged man just watched Ji Guzi come and go, and then turned to the left without going back.

Tong Zhi'er didn't want to spend too much time talking with him, and ran after Ji Guzi.

Hearing the ridicule from the people around him, the middle-aged man couldn't hold back his face, and felt hatred in his heart, and shouted loudly to the backs of Tong Zhi'er and Ji Guzi, "You wait!"

Tong Zhi'er looked at Zou Mei, is this person going to rescue soldiers?

When she paused to think, Ji Guzi in front also stopped.

Another fork in the road.

Feeling deep resentment, Tong Zhi'er ran over quickly, consciously leading the way for Ji Guzi, and talking to him.

"Sir, one tael of silver a month is not too wronged for you..."

Just now she had seen Ji Guzi's appearance of writing with a pen, he was so masterful, and she knew that he was not an ordinary person at a glance.Tong Zhi'er suddenly felt guilty because she only gave the master a tael of silver a month.

"My surname is Ji." After speaking, Ji Guzi stretched out two fingers.

Add one or two taels, this is fine, the minimum salary for the four of Zhaocai, Jinbao, Caiyuan, and Guangjin is two taels of silver.

"Success, Mr. Ji is two taels of silver a month, by the way, our shop also includes board and lodging..."

"I mean twenty taels."

The word Su in Tong Zhi'er's mouth has been knotted in his tongue.

Ji Guzi looked at the front, but cast a glance at Tong Zhi'er from the corner of his eyes. Seeing her delicate eyebrows twitched into a ball, his heart became a little happier for some reason, and his walking steps became more pleasant and light. .

"Second sister, what happened?"

At the gate of the city, Tong Zhu'er, who was waiting beside the carriage, saw Tong Zhi'er's distraught and depressed look, and said worriedly.

Tong Zhi'er looked at Ji Guzi's back, hesitated to speak.

In her opinion, Ji Guzi is the kind of person who is very arrogant and upright, but what's the matter with him raising prices?

Tong Zhi'er feels that it is very necessary to have in-depth communication with him.

But before she could act, her eyes were attracted by a dozen or so people not far away.

The leader was the middle-aged man who spoke harshly just now.

Tong Zhier frowned.

"Second sister, they..."

Tong Zhu'er had never seen such a battle, she walked up to Tong Zhi'er in fear, tugged at her sleeve and said.

"Pearl, you get in the carriage."

"Second sister, what about you?"

"I... I'll stay here and take a look."

Beside the carriage, Tong Zhixin also saw this group of unkind people, and shouted to Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er: "Zhi'er, Zhu'er, get in the carriage."

At this moment, Ji Guzi turned his head to look at Tong Zhi'er for the first time, and said, "Go to the car."

Tong Zhi'er dragged Tong Zhu'er and ran to the car, it's better to go to a safe place to watch things like this.

When Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er got into the carriage, Tong Zhixin drove the carriage and left.

"Dad, stop."

Feeling that it was almost done, Tong Zhi'er lifted the curtain of the car and said.

But looking at the scenery outside now, Tong Zhi'er was stunned.In less than a quarter of an hour, why did Dad drive the carriage so far?There are at least three miles of Qingzhou City here.

Tong Zhi'er jumped off the carriage.

"Zhier, where are you going?"

Tong Zhi'er turned her head, looked at Tong Zhixin with a worried face, and Tong Zhu'er and Tong Zhaofu behind Tong Zhixin, and fell silent.

"Father, let's wait here for a while."

Tong Zhixin didn't understand how Tong Zhi'er was interested in a accountant who had just met, but he followed what she said and stopped at the same spot.

The sun in mid-October is no longer as hot as summer, and it is very warm on the body.

Tong Zhi'er opened his eyes wide and looked in the direction of Qingzhou City.

About half an hour later, a person came from a distance, with tattered clothes and a little bruise on his face.

Tong Zhi'er happily ran over, "Mr. Ji, they didn't take you..."

He choked on the words.

Just now it wasn't very real from a distance, but now that he's getting closer, Tong Zhi'er can clearly see the blood stains on his clothes.
