The three members of the Gu family are very sensible and would rather be wronged than cause trouble to others. When Mrs. Gu saw the rice, noodles and vegetables prepared in the small kitchen, she asked her son and heard that they were all prepared by the owner, and insisted on finding Lotus to put them in. Give me some money, otherwise I won't be able to live there.

Hehua didn't think too much when she was preparing. Seeing that Mrs. Gu and Mr. Gu both had such attitudes, he happily asked the girl to accept the money. Then he found the money according to the par price of rice and noodles and gave it to the old lady: "Old lady Madam, your handling of things is admirable, and I respect your persistence. However, this rice and noodles come from my own salary. My family is small and can’t afford it. Of course, if you pay for it, I will give you a fair price. You can’t follow the rice and grain shop. Let's calculate it. From now on, we will return one code to another, and that's it this time. From now on, whatever we take from the kitchen will be recorded, and it will be deducted from Mr. Gu's repairs at the end of the month. That’s it.”

After seeing Old Mrs. Gu off, Qi Jintang came from the study to discuss with Hehua: "Didn't you go see the red bayberries on the mountain last time? One piece of land is in a good location, and the other is a bit too remote. Can you choose another one by the river? of?"

Hehua immediately understood what Qi Jintang meant when he heard this, and asked with a smile: "Why, Master Qi has started to do such face-saving skills?"

"Anyway, it's a good thing for the county. Someone from above needs to come to check the river and show more of these good things to others. Maybe things will go smoothly." Qi Jintang did not refute, but nodded with a smile and said, "Officialdom After all, this is an officialdom, and it is important to be on your own, but you can’t ignore it, otherwise you will become an idiot.”

He Hua had already spread out the map on the table, reached out and clicked on several mountain tops one by one and asked: "These places are all close to the river. Which one do you think is suitable?"

Qi Jintang looked up and down, recalled the river map that he had seen for a long time, and finally chose a forest path near the main river: "This is fine. When you recruit people to clear the forest, remove the miscellaneous trees near the river. The grass is also clear, but don’t make too much noise.”

"Don't worry, I'm very aware of Chapter 391's precautions against others." He Hua's face looked as if you can rest assured when I do things.

This matter was discussed with Qi Jintang. The next day, Hehua put the matter on the agenda. This time, he did not bother the guards. He directly told the people who came to pick up the work in the yard where he did odd jobs, and asked his help to spread the word everywhere. To see who wants to do this job, come here and sign up, and start working when the manpower is almost there.

Hehua originally thought that in this kind of Qinglin thing, most of the people looking for work would be men. After all, although this kind of work is not too tiring, it is by no means easy. Unexpectedly, most of the people who came to sign up were middle-aged people with good figures and acquaintances. young woman. Occasionally I see one or two men, either an old man with not very good health or a thin young man.

Miao'er saw He Hua frowning and came over to persuade him: "Grandma, there are only a few young adults in our town. Those who have the strength have already gone out to make a living. Even if they go to the dock to unload goods, it is better than being bored in the city without enough to eat. It’s better to have food, although these men are a little thinner. But it’s better than nothing, right?”

"Well, it's better not to have such thin arms and legs. Otherwise, if we fall and trip on the mountain, we will have to find a doctor for treatment." Hehua looked down from the second floor. He couldn't help but frown, and shook his head after listening to Miao'er's words, "It's better to hire those stout women, so that I can go shopping when I have nothing to do, and see what's going on."

Speaking of this, He Hua suddenly smiled sheepishly and said softly to Miao'er: "I used to work in the fields at home. Even after I moved to the city, I still planted something in the yard. Now, Being cooped up at home all day. I’m almost bored to death.”

"Grandma has a different status now, so naturally she can't be like before, but it's okay if she occasionally goes out for a walk. The atmosphere here in the south is more civilized than in the north. The wives of the adults in the county government often meet up to go out and hang out. . There is also a restaurant in our county that specializes in entertaining women’s families. These ladies and ladies always meet there to talk, listen to plays and so on. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I’m afraid it will start soon,” Miao’er said. Lotus knows some of the things he has always heard.

After that, he went downstairs to convey He Hua's instructions. Just as he was about to go upstairs, he was stopped by Qi Yongzheng, saying that he wanted to see He Hua and ask some questions.

Miao'er returned to Hehua and hurriedly welcomed Qi Yongzheng into the house. Hehua stood up, saluted and asked, "Cousin, what's the matter?"

"Lotus, we have taken back a lot of finished products recently, and they are all piled up in the room upstairs. The money has been given away in small chunks. Originally, most people just watched the excitement, but now everyone is making money. Now, we are giving money happily, and more and more people are coming to collect things. Even though those who come later have begun to collect deposits, we still can't stop the copper coins from flowing out!" Qi Yongzheng looked at the yard these days. It was very lively coming and going, but Hehua didn't pay attention to it. He and his wife were helping the steward and they could barely hold each other in their arms, but they had no idea where this thing was going to be sold. They just looked at it every day. Money is being spent like water, but I still can't see the income. I can't help but feel unsure, especially these days when I see that the few boxes of copper plates that Hehua first exchanged for silver are almost exhausted, and I feel more and more worried. It seemed like there were lotus flowers. I happened to see lotus flowers here today, so I hurriedly came over to inquire about the situation.

Hehua really didn't think about it these days. Unexpectedly, the business was still booming. He went to the warehouses on both sides to check the contents, and then looked at the books on the ledger. He calculated a rough number with his abacus, and then nodded and gave orders. Hong Yuan, who was following behind, said: "If the copper coins are not enough, you can exchange for two more boxes. Now this business has made a good start. Everyone has just gained some confidence and trust in this matter. We cannot just stop it halfway. As for these things, You guys are going to put it away today, how to put it on the bundler and pack it into boxes, and be careful not to bump it, because you have to exchange it for money."

"Yes, grandma, don't worry, I must be keeping an eye on them." Hong Yuan nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Qi Yongzheng thought for a moment, and rarely took the initiative to ask: "Hehua, let me go with Hong Yuan. I'm used to traveling all over the country. If anything happens on the way, I can still have someone to take care of me. These things are collected by the two of us." If you come in, I’ll just follow it to feel at ease.”

Hehua didn't think much about it. When she saw Qi Yongzheng taking the initiative, she just felt that he was only trying to help his family. Although he felt that it was a good thing that his family could help in business, she still felt a little embarrassed and said: "Cousin, from now on The roads in our county are all mountainous, and no matter how good this carriage is, it will still be bumpy, what will you do if it gets tired?"

"What's the point of being tired? In the past, when we were running around, we always walked on two feet. Now there's nothing to dislike about riding in a carriage." Qi Yongzheng said with an honest face while rubbing his hands.

"Then I have to trouble my cousin. This is also the first time that Hong Yuan has to go out to do errands by himself. My cousin should give him some advice on everything." After saying that, he turned to Hong Yuan and said, "Be careful when you go out. Don't worry about anything. Listen to your cousin’s arrangements, don’t just worry about saving money when staying in a hotel, take good care of your cousin along the way, do you hear me?”

"Yes, I will definitely serve you well." Hong Yuan also bowed and accepted. Qi Yong doesn't have a bad temper at home, and he comes from a poor family. He has a lot of topics to talk about with the servants in the family. Although they usually call each other "Sir", "Sir", they all get along well with each other. I heard that this time it is Naturally, I didn't think it was an embarrassing errand to go out with my cousin, so I happily agreed.

After He Hua returned to her room, she wrote a letter to Bo Rong. After thinking for a long time, she still didn't write to Sun Jianyu. She only wrote a few words in the letter to Bo Rong to convey her greetings, and asked Miao'er to pack some of the things she had recently sent to Bao Rong. I also packed the clothes and various supplies made from chestnuts into boxes, and put them in together with the letter. Then I took a lock and locked the box. I called Hong Yuan in at night and handed over the key with the box. I gave it to him and made it clear that it must be handed over to Borong.

After that, Hehua took some scattered silver and told Hong Yuan: "The contracts for selling things are all in the hands of the elder brother. When you get there, store the carriage outside the city and let the coachman watch it. You just go into the city and hand over the things." Give it to Big Brother and tell him which city gate the goods are at. Big Brother will take care of the rest after reading the letter."

"You remember grandma's instructions, little one." Hong Yuan repeated a few key points to He Hua and made sure that he had remembered them all, and then he was ready to say hello and leave.

Qi Jintang was sitting at the table reading, but now he suddenly raised his head and said: "Hong Yuan, keep the key for you close to your body. Don't mention this matter to your cousin, and don't let it pass through his hands. When you get there, big brother will take care of you." The meeting has been arranged, if big brother tells you something, keep your mouth shut and don't talk casually."

Hong Yuan usually listened to He Hua's instructions at the house and never went out with Qi Jintang. In the past, when he saw Qi Jintang, he always had a kind smile. He had never encountered such a harsh words. He hunched over and trembled, and kept saying promises. He said: "My lord is both a master and a guest. I know who my master is, and I know the right rules in my heart and my mouth. Just don't worry."

Seeing Hong Yuan retreating in a hurry, He Hua took a tea cup and stepped forward: "What's wrong today? Why are you so careful about your cousin's family? I looked at my cousin and thought wholeheartedly. He wants to help us share the burden."

Qi Jintang pondered slightly and said in a low voice: "We don't have the intention to harm others, but we must have the intention to guard against others."
