Everyone did not expect the old man's expression to suddenly change. They were all surprised. However, some of them were smarter. They remembered that the lin family had found out about the gambling and that they were forced out of the house. Now that the straw weaver had sold the money, everyone had money in their pockets, so it was inevitable that someone would have to think about it again. It was easy to cause more trouble. The lin family's words were a reminder to everyone.
"Don' t worry, old master. We' ve earned money so we can go back to the country. We won' t waste it." "
"Yes, don' t worry, old master. We won' t bet!" "
Zhao xiong also took the lead in assuring her," don' t worry, old master. I' ll supervise everyone." "
Elder lin did not say anything more when he arrived. After all, he had set the rules first. If anyone made a mistake, they would chase them away. No one could tell what was wrong with the lin family.
Hu tianming was very perceptive. Seeing this, he went forward to ask," old master, can we start the division of labor?" "
"Divide it. According to the books, don't be wrong. "
Immediately, someone helped them move the table to the lin family's front door. The tall courtyard wall blocked the northwest wind. It was rare that the sun was still sunny, and it was much warmer than usual.
Every time hu tianming called out a person's name, the person would come forward. It was clearly written on the ledger that the person had made up something, quantity, sale amount, and amount of money. Then lin bao would weigh the money in the coffer or count the money and send it.
The person who got the money was so excited that he hugged the money bag in his arms, wishing he could not walk anymore.
Of course, at this time, it was easy to see the difference. A few happy and a few sad!
Some people have good craftsmanship, the kang screen or hanging painting, such exquisite things, get more money. And the craft is slightly poor, the knitting needle basket or basket kind, get less silver. There were even those who didn' t know how to make it up, so they could only watch their companions receive the money while they were empty-handed.
In contrast, there is a sense of happiness, which is also very damaging.
Old master lin saw this and when the crowd dispersed, he left zhao xiong and a few old masters to discuss." We are all in trouble. When we can do our best, we should help each other. How about you share the soaked straw, split the grass, or some simple little job, and let the rest of us make some change, and you'll be more relaxed. If they were really clumsy, let them deliver to the city, or fetch water, or cook. In short, you can't make a single fortune. It's easy to get into trouble after a long time. "
Zhao xiong's eyes lit up when he heard this and he stood up to salute the old man." I' ve been thinking about this for the past few days and I have no choice. Thank you so much for your guidance. I'll talk to everyone when I get back. "
After a few more words, zhao xiong left.
In the end, the old man did not wait to rest for a while before he brought a few smiling children to the door.
The old man thought that the next few children had a beloved daughter and wanted to find him as a matchmaker, so he smiled happily and asked," what's wrong? Are all of them shy like little chickens?" Tell me, which girl you like. The descendant of the lin family was now in the market! When it comes to marriage, it must be a matter of time. "
Li zheng shook his head and sat in front of the old man. I thought it was a good thing for the children to go to school and learn a trade, so I brought them here to ask you if it would work. "
The old man frowned and the smile on his face faded. It wasn' t that he didn' t support the ability of the descendants of the same race, but the victims were now relying on the skills of straw weaving to make a living.
Naturally, because of the lin family's life-saving grace, the victims would not be uneducated, but the lin family had to bear the reputation of blackmailing their benefactor. This was a violation of the lin family's original intention to save someone ...
Seeing the old man's expression, the few students were a little anxious. One of them said," grandfather, our brains aren' t working well. We can' t learn to write at all. It's a great effort to go out to work. However, on a normal day, she would occasionally use weeds to make a grasshopper, and her hands were quite dexterous.this was why she wanted to learn how to cook with a foreigner, so that she could support herself and earn a betrothal gift in the future so that her parents wouldn' t worry. Grandpa, just tell us. "
"Yes, grandpa, we must study hard. We don't slack off. "
The rest of the children quickly assured him that they were all of the same race and that they were just like their own children, so the old man was naturally glad that they were eager to learn, but he couldn' t cook them from the victims' bowls.
Coincidentally, Jiao Jiao brought a new plate of pork and sour vegetable pie into the house. Perhaps she did not expect that there was an outsider at home, so she was shocked and hurriedly greeted," uncle, let's eat the pie. My mother just made the pot. It smells delicious! "
At this moment, li zheng felt that he had a problem with the old man, and he was very nervous. Not to mention the pie, even the dragon liver and chicken gall were not tasty.
"Thank you, Jiao Jiao. You can eat. Third uncle has eaten." "
Just a few of the freshmen, smelling the aroma of the pie, their stomachs were filled with gluttony, but they didn' t dare to move.
Curious, Jiao Jiao bit down on the pie and asked vaguely," what's going on? "
In the past two years, li zheng had been watching his uncle's family prosper. Compared to other people, he knew very well that Jiao Jiao's uncle's family doted on him. It was not because she was the only female child.
Therefore, seeing that the old man had no intention of stopping him, he told him about what had happened earlier. Finally, he said," Jiao Jiao, think of a way. Let your brothers learn how to cook too. In the future, they will have a wife and children. They will be able to support their families. "
"About this ..." Jiao Jiao was scalded by the pie. He sucked in a cold wind and finally swallowed the meat in his mouth." This is easy. Uncle zhao and the others will leave after the new year, but we have a lot of straw. Brother dog leftovers and the others learned it first. Not to mention that they couldn' t learn it in a short while, even if they learned how to prepare the finished product, they would also give it to the professor's master. It was considered as a period of time. When uncle zhao and the others returned home, they would set up a shop in the city or set up a stall in a cheap workshop to continue selling grass and weaving. "
Her words were casual, and the pie in her hand was one less bite after another, but everyone was overjoyed.
"Oh, Jiao Jiao, that's a good idea. Li zheng was the first one to praise, and then looked at the old man. After all, the old master was the head of the lin family. No matter how good Jiao Jiao's idea was, he still needed the old master to make a decision.
The old man was also happy and proud. Joy solved the problem and the clansmen had more ways out. Naturally, he was proud because his granddaughter was too smart.
He knocked on the leg of the table and looked in with a glare. He smiled and said," why are you looking at me? Just do as Jiao Jiao says." "
"Thank you, uncle." "
"Thank you, grandfather. "
The students also smiled from ear to ear and kowtowed sincerely.
