Chapter 46
Buying someone
It was close to noon that the ladies and ladies were willing to leave. There was no way the environment was too good. The shop was cool and comfortable. They were eating pastries and drinking cold drinks. It was so comfortable. If they had not had to go back for lunch, they would have wanted to stay here.
Escape from the summer heat.
After all the ladies and ladies left, it was time for Gu Qing and the others to have lunch. The food at lunch was unusually salty.
Gu Qing raised his eyes and saw that Zhu Han's hands were shaking violently, "Xiaohan, what's wrong with your hands?"
Zhu Han smiled slightly tiredly and kneaded the dough from early morning to lunch. Can his hands not shake?
"It's okay, it's just the owner. All the noodles he made last night are sold out today. There is no bread to sell this afternoon. There is not enough eggs, flour, and cream in the store."
Such an exaggeration? Gu Qing was dumbfounded. The flour and eggs she bought were enough for three days!
"Rong'er, how much money did you sell in one morning?" After Gu Qing finished speaking, he noticed that Dong Rong's hands were shaking violently, "Why are your hands shaking too?"
The abacus was almost smoking in his hand all morning, how could he stop shaking it?
Dong Rong retracted his hand under the table and said excitedly: "Master, according to your instructions, we will give you a 20% discount on everything today, a total of 500 taels of silver! Excluding the cost of materials, we made 350 taels."
"Three, three hundred and fifty taels?" Zhu Han was so excited that he couldn't speak. "Did you miscalculate? How could there be so many!"
Dong Rong glanced at him: "All the materials in your kitchen have been used up. If I can't collect any more money, won't I lose money to death?"
Gu Qing didn't expect to earn so much in one morning. "Thank you for your hard work this morning. We have a trial opening for the past two days. Please stick with it..."
"Master, although it's hard work, today is the happiest day in our history. For so long, the master has been sick and making money to support the family. Now it's finally our turn to contribute to this family!" After Yang Pei finished speaking, he took the initiative to give Gu Qing a message.
Picked up a chopstick dish.
Mo Li agreed: "Yes, head of the family, if we do more, you can do less. In the afternoon, you can go to the backyard and have a good rest."
Gu Qing was also very happy to see the new mental outlook of several people. They finally got rid of the bleak life in Gujiacun.
"I never thought that there would be so many people today. I thought about it just now. There shouldn't be many people in the afternoon. I will go out and hire a few people to come back. By then you will go to the academy, and this shop will not be empty."
"Master!" Zhu Han looked up at Gu Qing with stern eyes: "Can we really all go to Yunshan Academy to continue studying?"
When several people heard this, they all looked up and looked at Gu Qing. After such a long time, the poor life and the overbearing head of the family had already wiped out their yearning for life and their ambitions. Now they all see the change of the head of the family. They really
Can I continue to study?
Gu Qing smiled and said: "Of course, I'm still waiting for you to become a high official, and I will be an official's wife! So you must study hard in the future and don't let down my expectations for you."
It turns out that the head of the family wants to be a government official's wife, Mo Li secretly rejoiced. Compared to working, studying is his strength. Since the family head wants to be a government official's wife, he will work hard from tonight on and strive to win the imperial examination next year.
Yang Pei analyzed: "Master, our dessert is unique to the Liang Kingdom. It is better to hire people than to buy them. What you buy is a death contract, so you can use it with confidence."
Buying people? Gu Qing suddenly remembered that buying and selling people was legal in this dynasty, and buying people was indeed more reliable than hiring people.
"Okay, then I'll go out and have a look in the afternoon."
"It's better for me to go," Yang Pei bet that she didn't know where the tooth shop was. It was such a hot day and it was better not to let her suffer.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The sun was so poisonous that she almost fainted yesterday. She was really scared.
After eating, the group of people started working again. Gu Qing placed an order in the mall, still for three days, and added more ice cubes.
Just as she was about to exit the mall, the customer service sent her a document containing the design draft of her last customized house.
The whole house has a majestic appearance, with three courtyards, in addition to pavilions and pavilions, there is also a garden pool.
There is a reception hall at the entrance, and then there is a courtyard where several husbands and wives live. In addition to the shared hut, each person has his own small attic with bedrooms, bathrooms, and study rooms. All the study rooms are dedicated to one entire wall.
They are all carved glass walls, which are quiet and ensure the brightness of the study. Not only are there two large floor-to-ceiling candlesticks next to the desk, but there are also two candlesticks hanging from the ceiling above the desk.
There are tables and chairs placed against the walls, as well as soft furniture, and the other two walls are all filled with bookshelves.
The middle is divided into two courtyards: Gu Yu and Gu Nuo's courtyard. There is a room for one person and two people with a study room. Finally, there is Gu Qing's courtyard. Gu Qing's courtyard does not have a study room, but there is a studio.
There are also two courtyards built in the northernmost part. One courtyard is where Gu Qing lives, and the other courtyard is for guest rooms. All courtyards are on two floors, with not only the master bedroom but also two secondary bedrooms.
Gu Qing was very satisfied with the design of the entire yard. What he was most satisfied with was the treatment of the latrine, which used a squat toilet that could be flushed in the previous life.
There were no toilets in this era. Each of the four public toilets had a large bucket with a ladle inside for scooping water to flush the toilet.
If this house was built, she would no longer have to endure the stench, flies and maggots in the toilet.
For the toilet, this house must be built as soon as possible.
[Dear, this mall undertakes house construction and decoration projects! 】
Leaving it to the system is much more reliable than finding someone yourself.
【How much does it cost for a full package?】
[One thousand and fifty taels, all furniture is included and the host can move in with his luggage! 】
One thousand and fifty taels, Gu Qing was silent. She only had more than one thousand and five hundred taels left with her now. Once the money was paid, she would really have no money.
But the house at home can't be built unless it is built. Not to mention it is dilapidated and leaking from everywhere. Zhu Han and the four of them live in one room, which is really crowded. Although they will go to the academy to study soon, where will they stay when they come back to study?
【Can I pay in installments?】
[Yes, but you must pay one thousand taels first, and then pay the next five hundred taels after acceptance! 】
【How long is the construction period?】
【Dear, it only takes one month!】
One month was not long, Gu Qing was moved and immediately placed an order.
[Please choose an auspicious day and tell me in advance so that we can start construction as soon as possible!]
[Dear, the nearest auspicious day here is three days from now. Are you sure the construction will be done in three days? 】
[OK! I’ll be waiting for you at home in three days!]
After exiting the mall, Yang Pei had already returned with his mother-in-law from the dental shop, followed by more than a dozen people of different ages, both men and women.
"The head of the house is Mrs. Cao Ya from the dental shop. If you decide who is suitable, you can stay. Mrs. Yang and I will go to the Yamen to complete the formalities."
Cao Yapo was in her forties, with a shrewd look on her face, and she didn't talk nonsense at all. She directly introduced the details of more than a dozen people.
Then wait for Gu Qing to choose.
The main purpose of Gu Qing's purchase was to hire laborers to help him knead the dough and beat the egg liquid, and he signed a death contract.
After looking around, I finally landed on a family named Tong.
According to Cao Yapo, this family of six used to be servants of a large family in Fucheng. That family moved away some time ago and could not bring too many servants, so they sold some of them. The children's family
It's in it.
I heard that in the previous owner's house, the Tong family worked diligently, but they were not very good at camp and could not get close to the owner's family, so they were not left behind in the end.
This Tong family couple, both 40 years old this year, have two sons, the eldest son is 20 years old, and the younger son is 18 years old. They are not married, and they have two daughters, one is 16 years old and the other is 14 years old.
What surprised Gu Qing was that the two daughters were very strong, even though they ate a lot.
Gu Qing asked them a few questions and found nothing bad about it for the time being, so he bought it.
Because they were all strong laborers and in good health, these six people cost Gu Qing seventy taels of silver, and it was because Cao Yapo gave up a fraction of the price.
