Village chief Liu Jisheng took the drawing in his hand and looked at it from left to right, but finally expressed that he could not understand it. He only knew that this time Xiao Ming would build a school that was larger than the Xiao family's house.
"Little girl Xiao, how much money does this cost?" Liu Jisheng finally said with emotion.
A high-rise building has been built from the ground. Now the foundation of the school has been dug, and the school is beginning to take shape. There are deep trenches and mud pits everywhere. Under the guidance of Old Man Li, everyone buried stones to build walls and dug trenches and sewage pools. They wanted to build it on the scale that Xiao Ming had. It will take some time.
Leaving Liu Jisheng, Xia Zhongquan and others who were busy, Xiao Ming took Bai Xiaoyu to the kitchen again. The kitchen was a temporary thatched house, mainly to prevent rain and wind. At this time, the Song family and the An family were leading the Several women in the village were busy preparing lunch. At the door, Li'er led plum blossoms and lotus flowers and washed vegetables in a big basin. There were many people working, and the Xiao family prepared a lot of vegetables. Li'er and the others After washing several large basins of vegetables, the three of them stood up and greeted Xiao Ming when they saw her coming, "Girl."
Plum Blossom and Lotus Blossom stood up and wiped their hands uneasily. They were a little nervous, but the very nervous Li'er said hello and continued to sit on the low stool washing vegetables.
"Hey, you guys are busy." Xiao Ming smiled and nodded, crossing them and going inside. Bai Xiaoyu behind him did not follow, but took the initiative to squat down and help them wash.
Mrs. Wang is lighting the fire, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wang are cutting meat on the chopping board, Mrs. Song and Mrs. An are holding the spoons, and Mrs. Li is preparing a basin for serving vegetables. The fire is burning brightly on the stove, steaming white flour buns and white flour. The rice is not mixed with any other grains.
There was a large pot on the ground, filled with steaming broth. It was roe deer meat that Shi Tingyu and Xia Wu had brought from the mountains.
The five people were busy in the small space, sweating, and the sound of clattering pots and pans could be heard from time to time.
"Sister Ming is here!" The eldest Wang saw Xiao Ming coming in and greeted her warmly, but her men kept moving. She and the little Wang had already cut up a large pot of pork, which was more white and less red. The piece of white flowers in the pot is full of greasy fat.
"Why are you here? It's very messy here. Don't get your clothes dirty." Madam Song looked up at Xiao Ming and said, Aunt Ming was still moving things and hadn't come over yet. Now she and Madam An were in charge, so they were a little busy. Don't come.
"Come and see, everyone has worked hard." Xiao Ming said.
Ms. Wang added a handful of firewood to the stove and then said, "Sister Ming, you're welcome. Why is this so hard work?" She was absolutely willing to work for the Xiao family. Why? Because the Xiao family doesn't treat people badly. , the wages given are sufficient and meals are included, so it’s not hard at all.
The old man and his eldest son helped repair the house outside, and the old man received double wages. She asked her daughter to take care of the house, and she and her daughter-in-law helped on the stove. In this way, four of their family members made money, and they had a lot of money at the end of the day. There are quite a few, and there are still leftover meals and steamed buns to take home every day.
The Xiao family's food was good and there was plenty of oil and water. She had gained weight these days helping in the kitchen.
No matter whether it is the Wang family, the Wang family, or the Li family, they are all happy and say that it is not bitter.
The Song family arranged the food very well. There was no shortage of meat and vegetable soups, white flour steamed buns, and rice. Xiao Ming found that she couldn't explain anything. She wanted to help but refused to let them go. She stood here confessing and had to be on guard. It was not in their way, so Xiao Ming simply came out.
"Sister Ming, wait." Xiao Ming didn't take two steps before the Wang family chased her out.
"Sister-in-law Wang, is there something wrong?"
"There's one thing." Mrs. Wang looked around and found that there were people coming and going. She was embarrassed to speak, so she pulled Xiao Ming to a corner and said, "I heard that your family has bought a shop and is going to open it, right?"
"Yes, what's the matter?" Xiao Ming nodded. They didn't publicize the property purchase at home. I don't know how she knew about it. Only Yi Feng and Ming Sheng ran to the city every day to prepare. Open the shop.
After receiving Xiao Ming's approval, the Wang family was delighted, and asked Xiao Ming, "What kind of business are you going to do? Do you want to hire people?" Could she know that Xiao Ming's family bought a new shop because her boss was there? Because he was an apprentice in the city.
The eldest son of her family was learning blacksmithing in the city and saw Yi Feng and Ming Sheng entering an empty shop. There were several people in the shop setting up containers and so on. He kept a close eye on it and went over to check it out every day. Sure enough, he saw them again. Find Yifeng there.
He told his mother, the Wang family, about this matter. The Wang family is such a smart person. He immediately knew that this was the shop bought by the Xiao family. Otherwise, if the family was so busy, why would Yi Feng not help at home but take people there instead? to the city.
But the village didn't hear any news about the Xiao family buying a shop. It seemed that apart from her, the villagers and even the village chief didn't necessarily know, so she didn't spread it everywhere. She had been thinking about it these days. Well, my son has been studying blacksmithing in the city for three years, and he has paid a lot of tuition, but the blacksmith is so inhumane that he doesn’t teach his real skills. He makes him do the dirtiest and most tiring work every day, and the food is not good. The meal of pickles, rice porridge and black-noodle steamed buns not only made her precious son lose a layer of skin, but also delayed his life. Every time she looked at the thin and dark boss, she felt extremely distressed and she had no intention of letting him. I was looking for an easier job that didn't require so much hard work, but I couldn't find the right one.
"I'm going to open a shop to sell grain. I need to find a man, and Yi Feng is looking for him." Xiao Ming said truthfully, this kind of grain is also grain. There is nothing to hide, although their family does not publicize the newly purchased shop, house and fields. But sooner or later this matter will be known to the villagers.
The eldest Wang was even more happy when he heard this. He got what he wanted and said eagerly: "It's good to sell food, but it's good to hire a man!" The eldest Wang said good things and promoted her son to Xiao Ming: "What do you think of my boss? , I’m sixteen this year, I’ve learned blacksmithing in the city for three years, I’m very strong, and I’m good at helping with the lifting.”
"The eldest son of your family." Xiao Ming was surprised. She didn't expect that the eldest Wang family secretly came to her for this matter. She had never seen the eldest son of the eldest Wang family, but with the eldest Wang family's neat and upright temperament, she thought her son was not bad at all.
She wanted to give the big Wang family face. She heard about it afterward when the big Wang family tried his best to stop Liu Fuyi from locking the door on the Mid-Autumn Festival night. She would remember this caring and kindness towards her.
"Let him go find Yi Feng." Xiao Ming said. Yi Feng was responsible for everything in the shop. Xiao Ming had very low requirements for his clerks, as long as they had good character, clean hands and feet, and were hard-working and hard-working.
It seems that because of her small requests, Yi Feng still hasn't found a partner...
"Let him practice with Yi Feng and start working when the business opens."
