General, Madam Called You To Farm

Liu Sihe took a closer look, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: These...you drew them yourself?

Yes. Su Xiaoxiao.

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 temper, and he doesn't say a word of praise to himself, nor does he have any unnecessary greetings.

The conversation between the two only 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 can it be completed?

Seven days.

Just seven days?

This is a lot.

Liu Sihe smiled and said, After seven days, if I don't finish the work, I won't charge you! Go ahead and do your work!

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

In addition, Liu Sihe's price was far lower than her budget, which saved her a lot of expenses.

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

The grandfather Zhang in Dahu's mouth was a sturdy blacksmith named Zhang Erzhu. He was a few years older than Father Su, and he was 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 today?

When Su Xiaoxiao made it clear that he had come, there was no accident, and Zhang Erzhu was not shocked either.

Because, Dahu also came to say hello to him.

I want to make some knives. 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 need. Zhang Erzhu said lightly, I have never made these types of knives before, so I have to re-open the mold. You can pick them 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 two?

You know, the only thing that the imperial court has always controlled is iron, which was very expensive in ancient times.

you sure?

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's shocked face, Zhang Erzhu thought about it and said, Then two or two.

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 was right next door to her own house, and she was put last because this business was probably the longest negotiated deal.

Is it Dahu's mother? 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 pick? 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.

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

In Da Zhou, there were very few women practicing medicine, and when the girls went out to work, they were 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 of trying.

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

Grandma Zhou 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 was neither arrogant nor impetuous, his speech was clear, and his body was strong enough.

When I get to Grandma Zhou, the price is 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 pinched her purse, it really hurts.

The drug boy is a clever young man named Xiao Wei, seventeen. He used to be a clerk in another drug store and knew a few herbs.

Grandma Zhou said, Brother Wei, you will follow Mrs. in the future.

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

Su Xiaoxiao didn't pick another satisfied male drug boy, but two little girls caught her eye.

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

The other is the cuckoo, who is two years older than Ying'er, 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 and was bought to the Jiaosifang. She is young and the 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. If I bought you, can you bear the pain of the servants?

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

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 little dark...

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

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

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

The cook and the long-term worker of the sweeper are a middle-aged couple, and they are also ten or two per person.

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's side was completed.

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 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 planks to the hospital, where they should be placed, and what should have been installed. In one afternoon, the shop changed drastically.

The plaque waited until the day it opened, and Su Xiaoxiao kept it in the accountant.

After another two days, 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, the first hall had an accident.
