General, Madam Called You To Farm

   Chapter 268 Opening (two more)

  Liu Sihe took a closer look, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes: "These...you drew them yourself?"

   "Yes." Su Xiao's novel.

  Liu Sihe praised again and again: "Very novel design. I heard that you are going to open a medical hall. What do you plan to write on the plaque?"

  Su Xiaoxiao: "The first church in the world."

  Liu Sihe: Girl, you are very arrogant.

  Liu Sihe has a straightforward and quick temperament, without a word of praise to himself, nor any unnecessary greetings.

   The conversation between the two sides lasted less than a quarter of an hour.

   "I have written down everything you said, do you have any other requirements?"

   "No more." Su Xiaoxiao said, "How many days will it take to complete?"

   "Seven days."

   "Just seven days?"

   This is a lot.

  Liu Sihe said with a smile: "After seven days, if I don't finish the work, I won't charge you for your money! Go get busy!"

  Su Xiaoxiao doesn't like to talk about things, so she likes to deal with people who don't talk nonsense.

   In addition, Liu Sihe's price was far below her budget, saving her a lot of expenses.

   After leaving Liu's house, she went to the house where the west end and Zhuangyuan Street meet.

   Grandpa Zhang in Dahu's mouth is a sturdy blacksmith named Zhang Erzhu. He looks a few years older than Father Su, and is a little stern.

  The weather was so cold that he only wore a sackcloth crotch, and his thick arms were exposed to the air.

  Su Xiaoxiao's first reaction was: With this body of tendon, are all blacksmiths so strong these days?

   When Su Xiaoxiao Daoming's own intention was not unexpected, Zhang Erzhu was not shocked.

  Because, Dahu also came to say hello to him.

   "I want to make some props." Su Xiaoxiao handed him the blueprint, "I heard that the capital has strict controls on iron tools. The number of these knives I made is a bit large. Do I have to report to the government?"

   "No." Zhang Erzhu said lightly, "I have never made these types of knives before, so I have to re-open the mold, and you will pick it up in ten days."

  Su Xiaoxiao asked, "How much deposit do I need to pay first?"

   "You don't need to pay a deposit." Zhang Erzhu was also very refreshing, "As for the specific amount, we will know after the completion, but it should not exceed five taels."

  Five taels?

  You must know that in addition to salt, the only thing the court has controlled is iron. Iron was very expensive in ancient times.

"you sure?"

   Zhang Erzhu saw Su Xiaoxiao's shocked face, thought about it, and said, "Then two taels."

  Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

   This is to cut your own price, and let others be priceless...

   The last place Su Xiaoxiao went was Grandma Zhou's house.

   She is right next door to her own house. The reason why she is put last is because this business may be the longest discussion.

   "Is that the mother of Dahu?" Grandma Zhou invited Su Xiaoxiao into the main room with a smile on her face and poured a cup of hot tea.

  Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that she was famous in the alley...

   Grandma Zhou is a little old, and the neighbors in the alley seem to call her Grandma Zhou regardless of her seniority.

   "How many do you want to choose? What kind of work do you want to do?" Aunt Zhou asked with a smile.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I want a coachman, four medicine boys, preferably two female medicine boys, it doesn't matter whether they understand medical science or not, we can teach them, in addition, I also need a cook and a long-term sweeper. "

   Aunt Zhou said: "Everything else is easy to say, it's the girl medicine girl..."

  In Da Zhou, very few women practice medicine, and when the girls go out to work, they are mostly maids and embroiderers...

   She said, "I'll try it. Come to my house tomorrow morning to see."

   The next day, Su Xiaoxiao came to Grandma Zhou's house early in the morning.

   Listening to Grandma Zhou's tone yesterday, she was just trying, but she might not be able to find them all. However, when Su Xiaoxiao looked at the yard full of men, women and children, she suddenly wondered if Grandma Zhou had any misunderstanding about "trying".

   Among this group of people, Grandma Zhou recommended a coachman, Ah Zhong, who was in his twenties and looked like Zhou Zheng.

   Zhou Apo said: "Don't look at him young, he is very old-fashioned, and he is very familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital."

  Su Xiaoxiao asked Ah Zhong a few questions. The young man is neither arrogant nor impetuous, his speech is clear, and his body is strong enough.

   When I got to Grandma Zhou, the price was not cheap.

  Five taels per driver. This is the introduction fee paid to Grandma Zhou. As for the wages of the driver, Su Xiaoxiao will settle it with the driver separately.

  Su Xiaoxiao squeezed her purse, it really hurts.

   The pharmacy boy only picked three, a clever young man named Xiao Wei, Seventeen, who used to be a clerk in another pharmacy and knew a few herbs.

   Grandma Zhou said: "Weige, you will follow Mrs. in the future."

   Hearing this "Weige", Su Xiaoxiao almost choked on the tea.

  Su Xiaoxiao didn't pick when the male drug boy was, but two little girls caught her eye.

  A twelve-year-old named Ying'er, with a small round face, a little tiger tooth on each side of her when she smiles, and a little freckles on her cheeks. She is a young girl full of aura.

  The other is a two-year-old Rhododendron with a melon-seed face, clear eyes, and literacy.

   Grandma Zhou said, "She used to be a lady from the official family. She committed a crime at home and was bought to go to Jiaosifang. She is young, and Jiaosifang is raising her."

   The implication is that in a year or two, she will have to sell herself to pick up customers.

  Su Xiaoxiao came to her and asked lightly, "You used to be a lady of the official family. I bought you, can you bear the pain of the servants?"

  Du Juan knelt down and kowtowed: "Mrs. Hui, slaves are originally prostitutes, and they are not favored at home. As long as slaves do not fall into the dust, slaves are willing to be cattle and horses for the wife!"

  Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ge'er, Ying'er and Du Juan's price.

   Grandma Zhou stretched out her finger.

  Su Xiaoxiao: "Twelve taels?"

   Grandma Zhou: "One hundred taels."

  Grandma, you are a bit dark...

   But soon, Su Xiaoxiao understood why their prices were more expensive than Ah Zhong.

   They are slaves, and they bought it back and signed a death deed. If they want to leave in the future, they must redeem their lives from Su Xiaoxiao.

   And they are paid less than the rest, or even not paid.

  The cook and the long-sweeper are a middle-aged couple, and they are also ten or two.

   These 12 taels were bought for their three-year construction period, the same as Ah Zhong.

   The next few days were calm, Su Xiaoxiao went to school while doing the dim sum business of Guozijian.

   Seven days later, Liu Sihe was finished.

  Su Xiaoxiao went to see the plaque he made, with gold characters on a black background, solemn and domineering, more perfect than Su Xiaoxiao imagined.

   It seems to be a little heavy, and I don’t know what kind of wood it is made of.

  Liu Sihe saw that the little girl was looking left and right at the plaque, only thinking that she was worried about the quality of the plaque.

   He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the wind and the sun will keep you from rot for a hundred years!"

  Su Xiaoxiao: What wood will not rot for a hundred years...it will never be golden nanmu...

   Thinking too much, how could a little carpenter in the neighborhood have such precious wood?

  Liu Sihe called a few brothers and moved the furniture and wood planks to the hospital, where they should be placed and where they should have been installed. In one afternoon, the shop changed drastically.

The    plaque won't be hung until the day it opens, and Su Xiaoxiao will put it in the accountant first.

   Two days later, Zhang Erzhu also made the knife, and he really only accepted Su Xiaoxiao Erliang.

  Fu Langzhong found someone to calculate an auspicious day - the eighteenth of this month, it should be opened.

   However, just the night before the opening, something happened to the first class.
