The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 61 The Unknown Servant

All this happened so suddenly, Chu Ying didn't understand the reason yet, but one thing Chu Ying understood was that she was still too weak and needed to improve her military and financial resources so that she would not be hurt or threatened by others .

"Okay, I will consider what you said, but I don't have any extra money to leave here, and my household registration needs some communication to leave here, it can't be done immediately." Chu Ying thought about going far away before. If you can't get out of the city gate, you need to write a small book with your own identity, which states all the transit records and identities.

"That's right, it's better for you to leave earlier and stay away from here earlier. I'll leave first, I've already said what I've said." Chu Ying sent Bai Yuhe away and punched heavily on the sandbag hanging in the bedroom.

I just want to live an ordinary peasant life, but other people don't seem to want me to be happy and want to press every step of the way. That person has already guessed it, but even if he comes to the door with the silver cover in his hand, what's the use.

Who would trust themselves?That person is the eldest lady of Yuwen Mansion, and she is only a village boy, so she might not even be able to enter the mansion. Chu Ying put the silver cover in the wooden box with the jade pendant, and looking for it now is nothing more than hitting a stone with an egg. In the future, when I have full wings, I may still have a chance of winning.

On the second day, Chu Ying did Uncle Qi's job of digging holes and erecting pillars. Although she was tired, she needed a kitchen after all, and her toilet was burned down to the point where only a hole was left, and the bathroom in the bedroom was also burned down. So additional toilets and bathrooms need to be built.

"Uncle Qi, how did other people's houses build this toilet?" Chu Ying had seen that the toilets in Wang Naiyuan's house had a strong smell, and the toilets in other houses were similar.

"Just dig a big hole, lay wooden boards on it, and leave a gap in the middle, and build a shed on it to keep out the wind and rain. Do you want to build it? You can also build it together by the way."

"I'm just asking, I haven't figured out how to do it yet." Chu Ying's job is to make a dry toilet, to separate the dry and wet, the urine is used for fertilization, and the manure can be topdressed after the compost is complete.The taste is also not that great.

After three days, the wooden frame of the kitchen was all set up, and Chu Ying paid half a tael of silver, because the wood was provided by herself, and there was a helper, so the money received was not much.

As long as there is a wooden frame, Chu Ying can build the wall by herself, which can also save money. If I use a wooden wall like the bedroom, I will feel sorry for the small woods behind, especially when the trees cannot be cut at the foot of the mountain, it looks like my own. trees are more valuable.

Chu Ying put the reconciled mud between the bricks, so that it would be more even, just like before, laying one layer horizontally and one layer vertically.This day, Chu Ying got up early to build the wall slowly, and her own turpentine and raw lacquer still smelled a little in the bedroom.

First, it is not safe to put it inside, and second, it is afraid of being stolen outside, so it is necessary to build the kitchen as soon as possible and put these raw materials in the kitchen.While waiting for Chu Ying to wipe away sweat and mud, an eleven or twelve-year-old woman stopped outside the yard in a bullock cart.

Chu Ying glanced at her and continued to work hard without recognizing her, "Excuse me, is this the second Miss Yuwen?"

Chu Ying was very unfamiliar with this title, so she didn't answer, and just went about her work. "Excuse me, is it Chu Ying?"

"Chu Ying raised her head and looked at this pretty woman in a skirt, holding a bundle in her hand, and wondered if it was some relative she didn't know.

"What's the matter?" Chu Ying held the shovel with her hand, wiped off the fine sweat from her nose, and looked at a real little boy doing farm work.

"I'm Ye Qiu, your servant. This is my deed of prostitution. Please take a look." Chu Ying took a piece of paper, looked at the densely packed words that she didn't know, and then looked at the person who claimed to be her servant. The woman is a little confused.

"The lady resold me to you. What do I need to do? I'll do it." Ye Qiu snatched the shovel from Chu Ying. Seeing Ye Qiu who was working hard and the so-called deed of sale in her hand, Chu Ying was a little confused Overwhelmed.

"Don't rush to work, you said you were resold to me by the eldest lady? I don't have any money?"

"No, you don't need to pay any money." Chu Ying didn't believe such a good thing, and the lady must be sick and confused.

"You do it first, I'll come back later." Chu Ying found Wang Naiyuan, who was working in the field, with Ye Qiu's deed of sale, and showed him this.

"It said it was transferred to you, as if I gave you this iron tool." It was not an iron tool, but a living person.

"That's a person, how can I just give it?" Wang Naiyuan looked at the deed of sale again.

"It was said that it cost 3 taels of silver to buy it. It was a few years ago, and now it belongs to you." Chu Ying took the contract of sale from Wang Naiyuan, and said that it is not expensive to buy a person for three taels. , but it is not cheap, and I bought it a few years ago, and now I have my own.

Chu Ying walked home in a daze, and when they got home, Ye Qiu had reconciled with the mud and started to build the wall, "Second Miss, you are back, I have never done this before, and I don't know if it will work, so I will push it away again." Let's rebuild."

Although the wall is not so smooth, it is good enough to be able to cover it for the first time, "No, just help me with the mud and bricks, and I will build the wall." Chu Ying looked at her servant, feeling a little nervous. Joy and worry.

Being able to get a servant for nothing is really a piece of pie in the sky, but after the last time my food caught fire, it was only enough for me to barely eat until the wheat was harvested. One more person means one more mouth, even cattle have to eat grass , not to mention that a living person has to eat even more, and he has to work harder to make money.

When it was almost noon, Chu Ying went to cook first, "I'll come, where is the kitchen?"

"The one you built is the kitchen, and the stove is there." Ye Qiu looked at a thing made of clay bricks. He was also very experienced in making fires by himself, but he had never seen such a fire maker.

Before coming, Ye Qiu was ready to endure hardships. The eldest lady said that she was here to take care of the second lady, and the second lady had a difficult life, but Ye Qiu underestimated that there was no kitchen and only a few earthen bricks. The situation of the second lady.

"Second Miss, can you teach me? Let me do it." Ye Qiu snatched the clay pot for cooking, and wanted to wash the rice, but only saw the yellow powder inside, smelled it and found it was chestnut powder.

"Just add water to this place, and the chestnuts will be sticky. Add firewood to this place, and ash will come out from below. If there is too much ash, use wood to dig it out. Also, the entrance here is the hall, and the inside is the sleeping place. You can sleep with me." It’s all right next door.” Chu Ying’s place is small in the first place, and there was no bed in the fire before, and now it’s all on the floor, so it’s okay for the two of them to sleep together.
