Chapter 71

"Yes, we need to add some decorative curtains and hire two guys. So we have to make more money during this time."

Li Hongmei said again, "leaf, do we have to invite a man? Won't Baozhu and I go to help?"

"It's not enough. The people who run the hall and wash the dishes need people to settle the accounts. Mom, just help me greet the guests and collect the money. Baozhu, help me settle the accounts and clean up the table."

"It sounds like business will be good in the future." Xiao Baozhu road.

Ye Xiaoxian smiled: "that's for sure."

Xiao Baoshan silently remembered what ye Xiaoxian had just said: we have to make more money during this time.

……

Xiao Baoshan went up the mountain with a firewood knife before dawn the next day.

Like last time, he cut a few more spears, but this time he didn't just shoot rabbits, but wild boars.

When the sun rose, he had beaten two wild boars in the mountains. Instead of going home directly, he directly carried the two wild boars to the largest restaurant in the county: Zuixian restaurant.

The two wild boars sold a total of four Liang silver.

When ye Xiaoxian got up to grind tofu flowers, she wondered why Xiao Baoshan went out so early.

Are there many things in Yamen recently?

When he was about to go to the county, Xiao Baoshan came back.

"Baoshan, where did you go early in the morning?" Li Hongmei asked, "have you had breakfast? There's still some porridge in the pot. Would you like some?"

Xiao Baoshan only nodded to Li Hongmei: "I've eaten."

Then he approached Ye Xiaoxian again, took out the four Liang silver from his arms and gave it all to Ye Xiaoxian: "take the money."

"Where did you get the money?" When ye Xiaoxian saw that Xiao Baoshan was covered with mud, blood and smelly, she couldn't help but get nervous.

What's he doing?

Robbery?

It's impossible. Xiaobaoshan is not such a person.

Xiao Baoshan only said faintly, "I went to the mountain to fight two wild boars in the morning and changed them."

"..." Ye Xiaoxian was excited for a moment.

No wonder he asked her last night if she had enough money.

Ye Xiaoxian took the silver and felt heavy and hot.

Why does this fool always do these things silently?

"Baoshan, then... Thank you!" Ye Xiaoxian looked at him and said.

"Yes, if it's not enough, I'll go up the mountain tomorrow."

"No, that's enough." Ye Xiaoxian quickly stopped him.

Hunting is particularly dangerous. A few years ago, tigers killed villagers in the mountains. Ye Xiaoxian didn't want to take this risk in xiaobaoshan.

Besides, if xiaobaoshan really likes hunting, why doesn't he just become a hunter in the mountain, but a factotum in the county?

"Well, I'll change my clothes." Xiao Baoshan said, "I'll help you push the cart to the county later."

"Yes!" Ye Xiaoxian smiled.

Looking at his back again, I couldn't help feeling happy in my heart.

……

After the beginning of autumn, the busy farming season ended.

Daliang town holds some activities after the beginning of autumn every year, such as "touching autumn".

The touch autumn in Daliang town is different from other places. Both men and women here have to participate in the touch autumn. In the morning, the men of each village participate in the tug of war, and in the afternoon, they go to the women in the village to touch autumn.

After touching autumn, there are opera troupes to sing, and the villagers can go to the opera.

People in the village are looking forward to this day. Except for the new year, touching autumn is the busiest time in the countryside.

Ye Xiaoxian was not interested in this activity. Her restaurant can take over in half a month. At present, she has to continue to make money, recruit people, and plan the dishes and the decoration in the restaurant.

However, when ye Xiaoxian heard that there would be many people that day, she thought: if she simply sold tofu flowers and jelly that day, maybe her business would be better than in the county.

At dinner that night, she consulted with her family and asked if it was allowed to set up stalls that day. Li Hongmei immediately patted her head: "Oh, leaves, why didn't you think of it? Touching autumn is like the Chinese New Year. Men, women, old and young will go. There are stalls along the way. We sell everything. Our jelly and tofu flowers must be very easy to sell."

"Let's sell tofu flowers and jelly that day." Ye Xiaoxian smiled.

"If we sell early, we can also participate in the touch autumn in the afternoon." Li Hongmei smiled and said, "that day, women will cover their eyes and touch things. Touching the pumpkin means that they will have a son and leaves next year. Go and try if you can touch the pumpkin."

Li Hongmei said and took another look at xiaobaoshan.

Ye Xiaoxian said with a smile, "Mom, can this woman and man have children without living in the same room?"

"Oh." Li Hongmei patted her thigh: "look at my memory. You can't have children like this."

Xiao Baoshan paused and suddenly put the bowl down: "Mom, I'm full. Take your time."

"Baoshan..." Li Hongmei wanted to say something, but because Xiao Baozhu and Xiao Baofeng were there, she didn't say much.

But before xiaobaoshan reached the door, he heard someone outside shouting, "which house does xiaobaoshan live in?"

"Oh, village head, why are you here?" This time is the voice of Wang Mudan.

"Looking for Baoshan, is he at home?"

As soon as he heard that he was looking for xiaobaoshan, Wang Mudan shouted to the earth house, "Baoshan, the village head is looking for you!"

It was said that the village head came. Li Hongmei also put down her chopsticks. Then Xiao Baozhu and Xiao Baofeng stopped eating, and they all came out with Li Hongmei.

The head of Daliang village, surnamed Zhu, is in his fifties.

The village head has some dignity in the village, so when I heard that he came, the Xiao family naturally came out to see what was going on.

I was worried about what mistake Xiao Baoshan made and was complained by the villagers.

Ye Xiaoxian is also worried about whether Xiao Baoshan went up the mountain to hunt wild boars. The villagers have a problem with him.

However, when the village head came, he looked up and down at xiaobaoshan with surprised eyes, as if xiaobaoshan was a piece of delicious pork.

"Village head, can I help you?" Xiao Baoshan asked.

The village head said "tut tut" twice, and then came forward to touch the bulging pectoralis major muscle of xiaobaoshan. Then he said, "Baoshan, isn't our town going to have a tug of war the day after tomorrow? If there is a tug of war competition, you can go to the tug of war on behalf of our village. With you, our village will win."

tug-of-war?

Ye Xiaoxian "puffed" and almost didn't laugh.

No wonder the village head just touched xiaobaoshan's chest muscle like seeing pork.

Xiaobaoshan is a calm tunnel: "village head, the tug of war depends on everyone's concerted efforts, not just one person."

"Then you can guide them? I've selected all the people. There are Da Zhuang, er Zhu and Da Dongge in the village... Wouldn't it be good for you to cooperate at that time?"

Xiao Baoshan is obviously not interested.
