The concubine wants to farm: the alluring wife raises the emperor

Chapter 177 Zhao Yuanyi's Sarcasm
The carpenter stopped and thought for a while: "If it is done consecutively, it will take about three days for that one."

Three days...

Xu Yuan looked at Chen Fan: "How many women and children are there in those refugees?"

"I heard from Xu Chi that there are twenty or thirty women who can do things, and the rest are old people or children."

"Twenty or thirty..." Half of them learned embroidery from He Qian, and the other half learned how to weave from this woman, so that's okay.

"In this way, we will first need ten looms." Xu Yuan gave an estimate first.

"Ten units?" The carpenter looked up in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"Do a little business." She smiled, "Madam, I may have to trouble you to teach us how to use this loom."

"No problem." She readily agreed, ten looms, that is not a small business.

After confirming the quantity and the time to pick it up with the carpenter, Xu Yuan and Chen Yan returned to the grain shop.

Xu Chi had compiled a list of those refugees earlier, which was just convenient for Xu Yuan to make the final confirmation.

As mentioned earlier, the number of refugees is 93 in total, half of which are young and middle-aged men, and the rest are old and weak women and children. There are about 24 women who still have labor force. In this way, the number of looms Xu Yuan needs Not too much.

"How long will it take to build a thatched house?" Xu Yuan looked up at Chen Yan. She had to keep track of the time before she could make overall arrangements for the following things.

"If five people cooperate, a simple one can be built in two days." Chen Yan said, "It's just that if we need to make some beds later, it may take a little time."

"This book records a total of 36 families. Even if they need to build 36 thatched houses, then..." Xu Yuan wrote in the book while muttering, "It will take half a month at most..."

Chen Yan looked at what she wrote on the paper, and felt as if he was in trouble. What are these?Why can't I understand anything?
"Yuanyuan, you...how can I not understand what is written on this paper?"

"Huh?" Xu Yuan was taken aback, "This is a calculation method I researched myself."

Chen Yan suddenly realized and nodded: "You are really a strange woman."

She lowered her head and stuck out her tongue quietly. She forgot just now and actually wrote Arabic numerals.

"How much food do we have left now?"

"Seven stones."

"Li Dashu is probably coming back soon, but just after he comes back, we need to send people to transport food... So, we still need to recruit people..." Xu Yuan put down her pen, "Sir, go to the market tomorrow to recruit ten more people Bar."

"So many people..." Chen Yan was a little troubled. Xu Yuan's wages were already higher than other places, and now she had to find other people to come in. So many people, can they support them?

"It's okay, there's always something to do." Xu Yuan waved her hand, and Buzhuang was about to start making plans, as long as there were more people, not less.

After figuring out these things with Chen Yan, Xu Yuan got up and rubbed her sore shoulders, preparing to go back to Sanxian Pavilion.

Now that it was approaching noon, the number of people in the grain store gradually decreased, and there would be another peak in the afternoon.

"Sir, I'm going back to Sanxian Pavilion first." Xu Yuan walked from the inner courtyard to the grain shop to say goodbye to Chen Yan, but unexpectedly saw an acquaintance in the shop.

When Chen Fan came out just now, it was the shop waiter who said that he had encountered a difficult customer outside, so the person who is now entangled with Chen Fan should be that person.

"Uncle Zhao, why are you here?"

When Zhao Yuanyi heard this voice, his eyes dimmed, but a smile instantly appeared on his face and he looked at Xu Yuan: "Yuanyuan, where are you?"

"This is my shop, let me take a look." Seeing the expression on his face, Xu Yuan knew that this person must know about it, so she wanted to pretend not to know it here.

"Oh? I heard that the grain of this spring millet is good. Come and have a look. I didn't expect it to be opened by your niece."

"It's not me, it's Xu's family." Xu Yuan deliberately added an accent to the word Xu's family, wanting to probe Zhao Yuanyi's reaction.

In the end, that person seemed to have heard nothing, and he was still talking and laughing at Yanyan.

Xu Yuan rolled her eyes and lowered her expression: "What uncle wants, just say it directly, and treat it as a meeting gift from your niece."

"Hey, you're welcome. Although my Zhao family is not a big family, we can't take food from others as gifts, right? We still have to give the money that should be given."

Yo, do you think it's a waste of food?
Xu Yuan smiled, but did not speak.

"Back then, your father and I used a piece of steamed buns... The Xu family was so glorious back then, but now, ha..."

"Uncle, what are you talking about?" She raised her brows, feeling disgusted that Father Xu gave him a steamed bun?
"It's okay, I just lament the friendship with your father back then." Zhao Yuanyi still had that smirk on his face.

"Thank you uncle for remembering what happened back then." Xu Yuan nodded slightly, if he wanted to say something weird, then she could just pretend not to hear it, since he didn't say it clearly anyway.

Zhao Yuanyi pursed his lips and looked serious: "The business of your shop is so good... Could it be that you have some crooked methods? Your Xu family fell back then because of Brother Xu... Sigh, let's not mention the things back then, you You have to turn back now."

"Don't worry about uncle." Xu Yuan smiled, "My food is all grown in the ground, it's very good."

"Aren't I afraid that you will go the wrong way? Back then, your father was..."

Xu Yuan picked her ears, she was a little too lazy to talk to this person any more, and there were just a few meanings after all.How was her father back then, and what does it have to do with him?

"Uncle, if you want to buy something, you should do it as soon as possible. The things in my store are selling fast. It's much better than those businesses where food is everything. I'm afraid you won't be able to buy anything if you wait a little longer. "

Zhao Yuanyi gritted his teeth, food is the sky, didn't he just make it clear that his store's business is not good?

"Hey, I heard that the food for the sky... seems to be adulterated. You bought it from me, so there is absolutely no problem."

"Yuanyuan." Chen Yan called her in a low voice, he had already guessed who this man was, isn't he the boss who lives for the sky?Zhao's...

"This is the boss who eats the sky..."

Xu Yuan glanced at him from the side, and suddenly realized: "Oh, look at my memory, isn't it the uncle who opened this food for the sky, ah, uncle, my food...is much better than the one in your shop. gone."

Zhao Yuanyi gritted his teeth, he didn't expect this little girl to have such a sharp mouth, she didn't mind tearing her skin off with him, and she tried to hurt him here.

"Let's go!" He turned around, gritted his teeth and ordered to the people beside him. The group retreated from the store, and only some people came in behind to continue shopping.

It was only now that Chen Yan could see that Xu Yuan didn't know, but she just said that food was the sky on purpose to make that person look bad.

But he didn't hear it, there was some grievance in it...
