Out of the teahouse with Shitou, Shitou was still holding the snacks given by shopkeeper Wang, and asked Su Qing if he wanted to eat, Su Qing shook his head, and asked Shitou to take them home to Si'er, Zhuzi and the others.

Telling Shitou that the tea house will continue to collect tea, and as much as there is, Shitou is very happy to hear that, and then a little anxious, thinking about going home to pick tea leaves.

But I also thought that my father and elder brother are both in the town, and they don’t know if they can find a job. If they haven’t found it, it’s best. It’s better to go home and pick tea. I am overjoyed.

If I earn a little more today, maybe I can earn another day tomorrow. I don’t know if there will be more on the mountain the day after tomorrow, but I can earn a lot in just these two days.The more Shi Shi thought about it, the more beautiful he became, and he couldn't help but smile.

Su Qing brought the stone to the downtown of East Street, and all the men on the street looked at him, so Su Qing had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the place where he was last time.

Daddy Fang and Second Daddy were not there, saying they had found a job and had gone to help a cloth store move things. The others stayed where they were, waiting for the owner to come to recruit people to work. Shitou whispered to Little Daddy and Brother, The tea house will continue to collect tea leaves, and they can continue to pick tea leaves from the mountains. All three of them are very happy.

The job is not tiring and earns money, of course they are willing to go back to work, but Daddy Fang and Second Daddy have already figured out what to do with their jobs, and they can't come back with half their ability. If that happens, they will not only lose money, but also affect their reputation. Next time Who still asks them to work.

Su Qing came up with an idea, saying that they should find someone to do it for them, and let others collect the money. I don’t know if this is possible. Although it’s a pity that you can’t get any money after working for half a day, it’s also true that you can earn more by picking tea leaves for half a day. , Besides, finding an acquaintance can make people owe him a favor, right?

A few people thought about it and thought it was a good idea, so they found two people who were usually good friends, and they didn't know how to tell them. In the end, Fang Xiaodi took them to the cloth shop where they worked.

Su Qing didn't go, and after a while Daddy Fang and Second Daddy Fang came back together. Although they worked for half a day for nothing, Daddy Fang was not unhappy at all, on the contrary he was very excited.

Su Qing went to the steamed stuffed bun shop last time again, bought twenty steamed stuffed buns, and kept two for herself, and gave the rest to Daddy Fang for them to share among themselves, then hurried back while eating the meat buns Home.

This time, Su Qing told them first, that after picking a few catties, they would be carried back first. He fried some at home first, so as to save them from frying too late at night and it would be unbearable. Several people said they knew it.

Na Yuan's mother happened to be at Fang's house, chatting with Fang's mother, and heard that fresh tea leaves were still collected, so she quickly greeted Su Qing and said that her family also wanted to pick tea leaves.Su Qing also agreed to accept them, but they must be picked according to the requirements.

Hastily agreed, saying yes, yes, and hurried home to call a few men and children at home, and followed up the mountain.

He has tasted the sweetness. Yesterday, he earned a full hundred coppers in just half a day. The man in the family only earns that much in a day. Last night, the family was happy for a rare time. He did not expect that good things would happen to him again today.

He was quite disappointed when he saw a few people go to the town to find work.However, there happened to be something at home, and a few men happened to stay at home, which made him wait for the opportunity.

After lunch, Su Qing took a rest and washed the clothes he changed yesterday. It turns out that there is saponin powder at home, and there are all things for bathing and shampooing. It saves him to buy them again, but these things are all The loose ones are not very convenient, but he doesn't know how to make soap, so he just makes do with it.

About three hours later, Shitou and Si'er came back with two bags of tea on their backs, followed by two children who were about the same age as Shitou.

Su Qing hurriedly asked Shitou to go home to get a steelyard, and weighed the tea. Shitou's family weighed more than 39 catties, but Yuan's mother's house had 53 catties more. Su Qing was startled, this speed is really fast enough.Su Qing told them the weight, took a piece of charcoal and wrote it on a wooden board, and calculated it together at night.

Thinking about lighting the fire later, Su Qing wanted Si'er to stay. It's not safe for such a small person to climb up and down the mountain. She is still a little brother.Then tell Shitou, let him talk to Fang Amu, let Si'er stay and help her light the fire, and he will compensate Si'er with 20 copper coins.

Si'er thought that Su Ge'er had helped her family a lot, and besides, helping to light the fire was not tiring, how could she ask for money, so she pouted and said that she could help, but she didn't need money.

Seeing Si'er pouting, she is so cute, no matter how you look at it, it makes people like it.

In his previous life, because of his health, Su Qing had never been in a relationship, and in fact he didn't dare to. To be honest, he prefers men in his heart, thinking that only men can give him a sense of security and protect him.

But he also knew that it was impossible, and he hadn't put it into action. He just thought about it in his heart. Although he looks like a brother in this life, he can find a man, and he can find a man openly for several hours. , He was happy in his heart, but he was still not sure whether the other brother's body was the same as his, he dared not take the risk.

So the best thing is to earn a lot of money, and when you get older, you can adopt a child and provide for yourself.But this seems unrealistic. Didn’t you hear what Fang Amu said? If you don’t look for it, the government will distribute it. I don’t know how the government will distribute it if you really can’t find a man. Oh, it’s really troublesome. forget about it.

Squeezing Si'er's little face, he turned over the tea leaves on the drying table, so as not to press them too thickly and burn them.

By the way, the Sun Bian was just delivered. The person who can weave the baskets heard from Su Qing that he used moso bamboo pieces to weave them. He even went to Huangniling in the distance to cut a few big moso bamboos. Qing made up a sample as he said.

He was dexterous at first, and the knitting flat was very flat and dense. When Su Qing asked him how much it cost, he couldn't tell for a while, but this was the first time he weaved it, and his hands were a little raw, and it was made of bamboo. So it takes a little time.

It usually takes half a day to weave a better back basket with soft rattan, but it took almost a day to dry it.

Hearing what he said, Su Qing gave him 45 copper coins, and the remaining five should be sent to him as soon as possible. He needed it urgently, and the man was very happy. This is more profitable than weaving baskets. .

The best basket is only 15 yuan. I am not in good health, and no one wants to find a job. I can only weave baskets at home, such as baskets, and earn some pocket money to spend.

Seeing that Su Qing gave a lot of money, there were only 5 coins left, which was more than 200 copper coins. The man was so happy that he hurried home to make up.

Although Si'er is only five years old, she is really sensible. Although she is relatively timid, she is still very open to the familiar Su Qing.Su Qing asked him to light the fire, and he burned it meticulously, and strictly followed Su Qing's requirements, burning better than stones.

Su Qing and Si'er also fried dozens of catties of tea leaves for a long time. Seeing that it was getting dark, and thinking that the Fang family members were coming back, Su Qing cooked a large pot of noodles in a hot pot. It's time for everyone to eat together.

When the gnocchi was cooked, Su Qing and Si'er added a bowl each, and they ate it in the kitchen. Si'er also liked this kind of food very much. It was white noodles, and their family could only eat a little during the Chinese New Year.

Thinking of the money her family has earned in the past two days, Si'er is even more happy. Maybe this year, the family can also eat more white noodles and rice.I really hope Su Geer can collect tea every day.

When Su Qing finished eating a bowl of gnocchi, the people who picked the tea leaves came back. Su Qing was busy weighing the weight. Adding the previous ones, Fang's family had a total of 115 catties. Yuan's family had three more people, so there were more These total 158 catties.

After giving the money to the two families, Yuan's family was happy to say that they would pick more tomorrow. Seeing that it was too late, Su Qing asked them to eat some gnocchi, but Yuan's family refused. There are 10 members of their family. , one bowl is not enough for one person, and besides, they earned a tael of silver today. They are too excited, so let's go home and eat. I'm sure Su Qing said that he will collect it tomorrow, so he hurried home.

Fang Amu and the others also went back. Su Qing put the gnocchi into a big pottery basin and asked the stone to take it back.Shitou happily went home with the basin in his arms.He knew that these were specially left by Su Geer for them.

Si'er stays as usual, Su Qing has already made an agreement with Fang Amu, give Si'er fifty copper coins every day, let him help to light the fire, and stay at home to sleep after frying the tea at night, they are brothers anyway , can also be each other's companions.

Fang Amu originally refused to ask for it, but Su Qing said that if she didn't want it, she wouldn't let Sier help.

-----

The next day, Su Qing found that several unknown people came to his house with tea leaves on their backs. Of course Su Qing was very happy, seeing that the spring tea was coming to an end, and if he didn't pick it, he would grow old.

Then I took a look at the tea leaves and found that the tea leaves were picked to a standard. I recorded their names and weights and calculated them together at night.

Si'er is very powerful, and Su Qing's speculation is getting smoother and smoother. Although he is very tired, but if he continues like this, it will be over in three or four days.Just when Su Qing was dreaming of making a lot of money, a few unexpected guests came.

After working all morning, Su Qinglei couldn't lift his arms, so Si'er gave him a massage.While the two were talking and laughing, a few men in their forties came. Seeing Si'er, she hurriedly told Su Qing that those people were the village head and clan elders of Dongtou Village.

When Su Qing heard that it was the village head and clan elders, he hurriedly welcomed them into the house politely, made a pot of tea, poured a bowl for several people one by one, and immediately filled the room with the aroma of tea.Although he was a little bit reluctant to part with the tea leaves, which cost five taels of silver a catty, but he was an official in Dongtou Village, and as he said well, his mouth was short for eating people, and his hands were short for grabbing people.

Although these few are small bosses, they can still control themselves. If people don't agree to let them collect tea, it will be a big loss.If you have nothing to do, go to the Three Treasures Hall and see what they are here for.

Seeing that Su Qing made tea, the village chief had a much better impression of Su Qing. He had heard from some of his sons that the tea in Mingxuan Tea House in the town cost 10 taels of silver, and the tea was the one in front of him. This guy is selling it.

Who would have thought that the leaves all over the mountain would turn into such valuable things in the hands of this little brother.But thinking about the preciousness of this thing, he quickly took a sip.

Several other clan elders were also full of praise, calling out good things.Su Qing smiled, of course this tea is a good thing, and many old people like to drink it in modern times.
