Because of empathy, Dong Chenghu decided to buy the bearded beard, and Dong Yi selected three slaves with a little skill.
Gu Shuixiu suddenly changed her mind after hearing about the bearded beard, and plans to buy two more women in their twenties, preferably those who have brought children, who can cook Red, so not only can I help Cuixi, but also help her take care of the children.
After listening to Gu Shuixiu's request, Manager Qi went to bring a group of people in.
Gu Shuixiu chose for a while, seeing that there were quite a few suitable people, so she simply bought three.
In this way, Gu Shuixiu bought a total of four servants, three women, two maids, two girls, four boys, and four young children, four young children There are three men and one woman in it, and there are nineteen people in total!
If it weren't for Dong Chenghu's plan, Gu Shuixiu would not dare to be so straightforward, this little servant is 8 taels of silver, a woman's maid costs 6 taels of silver, children are cheaper, and the older one costs 4 taels Silver, as for those young children, shopkeeper Qi charged them forty taels of silver, which is equivalent to earning hard money.
In this way, Gu Shuixiu spent eighty-two taels on this trip, and directly spent seventy-seven-eighty-eight of the money earned by Ten Miles of Fragrance.
Dong Chenghu now pays much more easily than before. Shopkeeper Qi got the money and immediately handed these people's deeds to Dong Chenghu's arms. After Dong Chenghu goes to the county government for the record tomorrow, these people are their Dong Chenghu. home property.
There are too many people, and the rooms they rent are not enough. Gu Shuixiu has no choice but to ask people to go to the county government to invite Gu Daniu and Li Zuotou to come over. The big belly came along.
Seeing Yang Yi, Yang Qiong was so happy that she wanted to pounce on her and act like a spoiled child, but was grabbed by Gu Daniu, "Slow down, brother-in-law won't run away there!"
Yang Yi walked over to her without waiting for Yang Qiong to approach, looking at her big belly, her eyes were surprisingly gentle, "Is your health okay? When will you give birth?"
Yang Qiong hugged Yang Yi's arm with a smile, and said coquettishly, "Brother will become an uncle in February next year! Don't forget to prepare a gift for your little nephew!"
Gu Daniu was helpless, and led Li Zhaotou to Dong Chenghu and said: "Brother-in-law, I have brought Li Zhaotou. We were supposed to come here early this morning, but the yamen was delayed because of some business. Now. It's almost busy over there, and I can be lighter too."
Li Zhaotou looked at the Dong family and saw that the servants in ragged clothes had just bought it. Thinking of this, Li Zhaotou probably also knew the purpose of Dong Chenghu's invitation to come here. .
Dong Chenghu saw Li Zhaotou staring at those servants, and did not go around with him, he said directly: "Li Zhaotou, you see that our family has bought these people now, this time there is not enough room We're going to rent another ten rooms, you see..."
Li Zhaotou smiled and said, "What is there? It's not just ten rooms, this yard is not enough, you can also clean up the rooms in the other yard."
Seeing Li Zhaotou so refreshing, Dong Chenghu was even more happy, and immediately asked: "In that case, please ask Li Zhaotou to tell me the price. How about we make a supplementary document?"
Li Zhuo nodded and calculated, according to the market price, ten rooms are four and a half a month, and they will be charged for four or two if they rent a lot. Now, in this way, he has several taels of silver a month, and the Dong family helped him clean up the house, so that when the family comes back, it will be easier.
Thinking about this, Li Zhaotou was even more happy to set up the letter. Dong Chenghu didn't ask the price directly, and only handed the money to Li Zhaotou after reading the letter.
After the matter was done, Li Zuotou was about to leave, and Gu Daniu happened to go back to the yamen with him.
Yang Qiong finally came out, but she refused to go back with Gu Daniu without saying anything.
Gu Shuixiu let her live. This month, it would be better if Yang Qiong accompanies her to talk and talk.
After the room was dealt with, Gu Shuixiu asked those newly bought servants and maids to tidy up the house quickly, and if the little ones couldn't do the heavy work, they could help with scrubbing.
When they were all busy, Gu Shuixiu looked at the sky. It was noon, and they had not eaten yet, and their stomachs were hungry. Yang Yi went to Shili Piaoxiang to get them some salted chicken and salted duck and salted eggs, and then went to the street to buy some steamed buns to accompany them, and asked Luo Ying to make a simple egg soup, so that they could eat together.
Yang Qiong couldn't stand seeing the chicken, but eating it with everyone doesn't seem so hard.
After lunch, Gu Shuixiu asked the children to sit for a while before taking a nap. She took Dong Yiluoying to the cloth village. It was too late to make clothes for so many people. Fortunately, it was still autumn. Before it gets really cold, buy a ready-to-wear for each of them first, and then let them slowly make winter clothes when they get back to Cuizhu Mountain.
When Gu Shuixiu came back from Buzhuang, the sun was about to set. As soon as those people got their clothes, they lined up to take a bath. Gu Shuixiu also bought them special powder for lice and pancreas for bathing. If they didn't wash themselves, don't come out to see her.
Nineteen people, lined up to wash for a long time, Gu Shuixiu went back to the room to sleep before they were all washed.
After those people washed out, they consciously divided the room to sleep when they learned that the master had already slept.
The three women saw that the four young children were not accompanied by adults. In this way, two by two, ten rooms for nineteen people are just enough.
When Gu Shuixiu woke up the next day, she knew that the arrangement of those people just nodded and said nothing, but called Luoying over and ordered: "Call the three this morning. Woman, you teach them how to cook, and I want to see how they do it."
Luoying got Gu Shuixiu's order and immediately went to find the three women and led them to the kitchen. Even the four young children stood obediently following everyone.
When Luoying and the others were ready, Gu Shuixiu ordered them to eat. Last night they just ate steamed buns and egg drop soup to cope with it. This was the first time they ate when they went to Dong's family. For the meal, the main food is white porridge, and there are two side dishes, one egg per person.
It was the most hearty meal they had eaten in a long time.
