Chapter 1488: Generally Equal
Mrs. Wu looked at Shen.
Shen hesitated for a moment: "It's good to grow vegetables, but we don't have tools at home-"
"Shen Niangzi, don't worry, Ming'er I will bring the hoe and shovel in my house, just give it to me, and I will be able to take out the land in one day, and then sprinkle the seeds with it, and I will be able to eat it in a while." Sister-in-law Hu patted her chest and said.
Shen saw that Sister-in-law Hu was a clean and neat worker, so he nodded and agreed.
Here, Mrs. Wu asked Sister-in-law Hu to go and get busy by herself, and she explained to the Shen family one by one, saying that this sister-in-law Hu has 300 yuan a month and two meals a day, and is responsible for all kinds of rough work in their family's cooking, washing, and laundry.
He also said that if Shen was not satisfied, he would tell Wu Zhongbao that it would be okay to change people.
Shen only said that Mrs. Wu was satisfied, and she looked good.
In the evening, the sister-in-law Hu made a simple noodle soup, the noodles were glutenous, and the dipping water was sour and spicy, and some were light, but she was thoughtful.
Wu Zhongbao was taken aback.
He ran out last night and looked for Yao Da.
I sent this mother-in-law early this morning, it seems that I still have some ability, with this mother-in-law, I think Shen can be a lot lighter, right?
While thinking, he looked at Shen.
Shen ate a little absent-mindedly, and when everyone finished eating, Sister-in-law Hu went to the kitchen, and then she and Wu Zhongbao helped Mrs. Wu into the house, and hesitated for a while before speaking: "Mother, husband, there is something I want to tell you." β
Mrs. Wu and Wu Zhongbao looked at Shen together: "What's the matter?" As a family, what can't we say? β
Mrs. Wu thought more: "There was a sister-in-law Hu before, but I forgot it, you went to the county government today, how was the treatment?" What did your sister in the Wang family say? Isn't there anything difficult to do? You just sayβ"
Shen gritted his teeth and whispered: "I went today, but the sister of the Wang family didn't say anything about the treatment, just let me go every morning." It's just that she said that she took a fancy to my embroiderer, and she wanted to open a shop, and asked me to embroider a few things for her, and give her money according to the size of the embroideryββ"
Before Shen's words were finished, Wu Zhongbao said: "The sister of the Wang family is credible, she will never cheat you, you can rest assured of this." β
This is a misunderstanding, Shen is not worried about Wang Yongzhu.
Shen shook his head: "I naturally believe in the sister of the Wang family, but her shop hasn't opened yet, and it will take some time to think about it." This family has hired a mother-in-law, and I have more and more free time, if the embroidery is sold for money, I will be responsible for the expenses of hiring a mother-in-law in the future, and then I will buy some medicine for my mother-in-lawββ"
Mrs. Wu categorically objected: "What are you talking about, kid?" You can take the money you earn yourself, and we can't ask for it. A few years ago, because of the child's father's illness, the amount of money was not enough, not to mention that you were wronged, and you were required to subsidize it for two years. β
"Now that the family's expenses are less, we can support our mother and mother with Zhongbao to earn money. If he can't even support his family, will he still have the face to see us? It's better to find a piece of tofu and kill it! β
"You listen to your mother, it's hard for you to embroider to earn some money, just keep it yourself. You don't have to worry about the cost of the house! After two years, our family is rich, how much silver you used at the beginning, my mother will make it up to you! β
"You only pay attention to your body, don't keep embroidering, there is an endless amount of money in this world, only the body is the most important."
When Shen heard this, it was the same as what Wang Yongzhu said, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
Wu Zhongbao saw that she didn't seem to come back to her senses, and said angrily: "If you are idle, do a favor with the sister of the Wang family, I don't have to worry about you in our family!" β
After thinking about it, he added: "I can feed you!" β
Shen had a complicated feeling in his heart, and lowered his head and agreed softly: "Mother, I know." β
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Sister-in-law Hu came to the door with a hoe.
I cleaned up the kitchen first, and said that the sun was good today, so I just dried the bedding and dismantled and washed it.
Mrs. Wu also nodded, telling the Shen family not to worry about it, and to go to the county government quickly.
Sister-in-law Hu also said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Shen, there is me at home!" β
Shen only then explained a few words and came to the county office.
When she saw Wang Yongzhu, without waiting for Wang Yongzhu to ask, she told the performance of Mrs. Wu's mother and son yesterday, and it was rare to show confusion.
Wang Yongzhu knew that she seemed to have a knot in her heart, so she didn't persuade much, she only took out the tricks, and asked Yao Da to bring people in and choose the silk thread.
This is the right thing, Shen Shi reined in his mind, yesterday he finished the draft, and he had a plan in his heart, and today he waited for the shopkeeper to put all kinds of silk threads in front of him.
She didn't care about it for many years, so she just buried her head in picking it up.
This embroidery, if you want to embroider the work brightly, the silk thread is the most important, to be glossy, but also flexible.
Among them, the silk thread on the south side of the Yangtze River is the best, with bright colors and dazzling brilliance.
Especially with this kind of silk thread, embroidered animal fur, the most similar.
Another kind of cotton thread, but the cotton thread is too thick, and the embroidery is slightly rough.
Of course, there is also a kind of gold and silver thread embroidery, which can generally only be used for gold embroidery and diamond embroidery, and ordinary people basically do not use it.
There are also several hundred-year-old names in the silk thread, the silk thread produced is not only bright in color, but also not easy to fade, each family has its own unique color, to be very familiar with their silk thread, in order to know.
Shen Shi selected these time-honored embroidery threads, she only needs to touch them, take a look, and compare them, and she can quickly pick out the silk threads that can be used.
Seeing that Shen was completely immersed in the selection of silk threads, Wang Yongzhu called Yao Da aside: "How's the matter of the shop?" β
Yao Da smiled: "If a lady speaks, it will naturally be done." It is in the second room of East Street, although the faΓ§ade is not large, but the location is excellent. The proprietor of the shop, I heard that he went to the Western Regions, was attacked by horse bandits, and finally escaped for his life, but unfortunately all those goods were lost, and he was almost bankrupt. That's why I'm in a hurry to sell this shop and pay off my debts. β
"The price was not high, and the small one did not pay him back, so it was done. The shop used to be a spice shop, and the spices in it were almost sold cheaply by the original owner, and the rest of the shop, because the small ones didn't bargain, he simply gave them to us together. β
"Wait for Ming'er to call someone to clean it up, and then renovate it, and it will be open in about a month."
Yao Da has always been safe in his work, never talking big, he said that if he can open in a month, he will naturally be able to open.
It was the spice he said, Wang Yongzhu was interested: "The rest of the spices, Ming'er will send them to me, I'll take a look." β
Although Yao Da didn't know why Wang Yongzhu was interested in spices again, he had always been that as long as Wang Yongzhu commanded, he would carry it out without discounting, so he didn't agree to a single one.
He also asked earnestly: "Madame likes spices?" Recently, I heard that several shops have a batch of good Western Regions spices coming in, why don't you buy some back? β
The last time Song Chongjin borrowed the horse farm, he dealt a severe blow to the power of the prince of Qi's family, and now the prince's family of Qi has suffered a big loss in the capital.
Yao Dahe Shi didn't know that there was joy in his heart.
They followed Song Chongjin and Wang Yongzhu just to take revenge, and now they are even more desperate.
Not to mention that Wang Yongzhu only said that he wanted some leftover spices, he wanted the moon in the sky, and he would find a way to get it.
Wang Yongzhu knew that spices were transported from the Western Regions and were worth a lot of money, and when they changed hands in the capital, it would be even more profitable.
After thinking about it, he nodded, and agreed.
Anyway, I can't use it if I buy it myself, so it's also excellent to sell it to the capital or give it away.
Yao Da had a number in his heart.
Over there, Shen had already picked out, and then selected the base cloth of white silk, as well as some other embroidery tools.
The shopkeeper smiled from ear to ear, as long as this is settled today, won't the business of this county government be his own in the future?
Therefore, he generously sent two more things, and was taken down by Yao Da to settle the bill.
