Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

Ma Efen took the gourd and ladle and left the woodshed.

After ten minutes, she came back.

"Come on, drink."

This time a wooden soup bowl was brought.

"Mom, does the fish soup cook so fast?"

Zhu Wenjuan was a little surprised. She saw that her sister-in-law had eaten fish soup. She had to fry the fish until golden brown and then add eggs. It took at least two quarters of an hour for the fish soup to thicken. Sometimes if there were no eggs, tofu would be used. Be a substitute.

She took the soup bowl.

There was only one small, unpleasant-smelling fish in the bowl, no bigger than her palm, and the soup was a little turbid.

Not milky white at all.

Like fish washing water.

Fish is fish and soup is soup.

There were no side dishes.

"Mom, does this fish smell bad?"

Zhu Wenjuan asked cautiously.

"Why does it stink? The fish I bought specially for you is smelly. Tao'er and I can only eat brown rice porridge. We are so blessed that we don't know how blessed we are. Whose daughter-in-law is like you and can sit still?" After confinement, I can drink fish soup again. Mrs. Li next door and her grandson’s daughter-in-law have milk even before the baby is born. It’s a shame. She’s still pretending to have no milk now. Drink it quickly. My precious grandson is hungry. I I want you to look good."

Seeing that she didn't drink, Ma Efen glared at her.

After being scolded, Zhu Wenjuan had no choice but to put the soup bowl to her mouth.

Just the smell made her retching.

But thinking that her son had not had a sip of milk since he was born, she gritted her teeth and took a big sip.

There is not a grain of salt in the fish soup, and there is no other taste except the fishy smell.

Zhu Wenjuan held her nose and drank it all.

"Eat the fish too."

Ma Efen continued.

"Mom, it stinks so much that I can't eat it."

Zhu Wenjuan was about to vomit, so she covered her mouth, unable to bear the pain.

Seeing her mother-in-law staring at her, she had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and eat the fish bit by bit.

There are many fish bones, and the fishy smell rushes into the nasal cavity in the spaces where the fish bones are spat out.

"vomit--"

Zhu Wenjuan vomited directly into the soup bowl.

Reluctant to finish vomiting, he swallowed back the fish mince that came up in his throat.

"That's all, if you don't eat it, you'll get it."

Ma Efen was about to vomit from what she did.

He just took the soup bowl and left.

The bowl was full of vomit, and she didn't want it anymore.

Throw the bowl outside the house.

The little wild dog passing by smelled the scent and came.

Except for the fish bones, the bowl was licked clean.

Although the fish was smelly, there was something in her stomach. Zhu Wenjuan finished the fish soup and took a nap.

she does not know.

The days to come will become increasingly sad.

evening.

Jin Yu came back from outside the city.

Behind him were seven carriages, all of which stopped at the door of the house.

"Everyone, come down."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people got off the carriage one after another.

There are strong men, young men, middle-aged people, and burly women.

All of them seemed to be good at farm work.

A hundred people stood neatly outside the door.

"They're all waiting here."

After Jinyu finished speaking, he knocked on the door. After the concierge opened the door, he walked in and reported to Yan Xia, and the two came out together.

"Sister Xiao Xia, I bought these servants from three towns. They can do farm work and have a clean financial background. They are either refugees or have died at home. Don't worry, there are a hundred people in total and they cost 350 taels of silver. , among which there are more strong laborers, so the price is slightly more expensive, and women are cheaper. This is the remaining three hundred taels."

Jinyu held the banknote in both hands and handed it to Yan Xia.

"Keep it, we still need people. I estimate that I can get about fifty people in the village. You still have to buy fifty more. Think of a way quickly. I can't wait any longer. I'll give you two days at most."

"okay, I get it."

"Well, take them to the house at the end of the city to live there for a few days. Tomorrow we will buy them bedding, clothing, food and other supplies, and then recruit a group of craftsmen to build a row of wooden houses on the wasteland next to the rice fields. You ask again Ask if any of these servants know how to build, and send them all over. There is no need to lay the foundation, it should be all done in three days. Please use more people, and don't be afraid of insufficient money."

Then Yan Xia took out another two hundred taels and gave it to him.

the next day.

Jinyu customized bedding, clothes, and various daily necessities for these servants. He also recruited a group of craftsmen and brought them to the rice fields. When he came back in the afternoon, he was in no hurry to return to the house.

Instead, he went to the grain store and bought a lot to send to Chengwei House.

Then while the shops on the street were still open, I went to the dental shop in this town.

Busy from morning to night, rushing to catch the bus on the road.

His whole body felt like it was falling apart.

It hurts so much.

As soon as I arrived at Yaxing, I saw a familiar figure.

"White Fang Man?"

"Sincerely to the young master?"

The two shouted to each other.

"Master Jinyu, are you here to buy someone? Today is my first day at work."

Except for some bruises on Bai Xiaobao's cheeks, his injuries were almost healed.

Young people recover quickly.

The torn clothes had a few patches and dense stitches.

Seeing that he was still as energetic as when we first met him, I felt relieved.

I wanted to finish this matter and tell the original shopkeeper for him.

It seems that it is no longer useful.

"I've been to other dental shops in the town, but I haven't seen anything suitable. Are you going to stay in this dental shop? It's just opened, right? There are many servants. I need fifty people who can do farm work, okay? It can be a man or a woman, as long as the age is not too old or too young."

"Yes, yes, we have a dozen stores in Zhuji Dental Shop. This one is just a branch. As long as you want it, I will transfer people from other places for you within three days at the latest."

The royalties for buying a house are different from those for selling the house.

If a servant has three taels of silver.

The commission is only 150 yuan.

Sell ​​more and get more.

I heard that Jinyu wanted to buy fifty servants.

Bai Xiaobao was very excited.

If all fifty were counted as three taels, that would be seven and a half taels of silver.

"Yes, my request is that they must be clean, even if they are good, they must be honest, and they must not cheat or cheat. They must be in good health and can work quickly. You can choose fifty people for me. I will check them out in two days." , remember, it must meet my requirements, do you hear? This is a deposit of one hundred taels, and the remaining balance will be paid in two days."

"Okay, sir, I'll do it right now, young master."

It's easy to do things with people who know each other well. After the two signed the paper contract, Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't even enter the door of the tooth shop, and it was over. If anyone else, it might have taken him half an hour to finish the chat. When he returned to the house, he was fast asleep and didn't bother to eat dinner. So tired, so sleepy.

Two days later.

Yan Xia returns to Baihua Village.

Bai Lizheng selected sixty people for her, and some families came with five strong laborers. Yan Xia selected some with good character, and in the end only forty people were left.

Let them pack their bags and gather at noon tomorrow.

Jin Yu's side was also going smoothly. Bai Xiaobao turned out to be very reliable. He sent 70 people over for Jin Yu to choose from.
