Dressed as a farmer's little blessing, the road to escape the deserted

"What size workshop does foster father plan to open and how much money will he invest?" Jiayin's eyes were shining.

It's not that this matter is profitable, but that she has always wanted to help her adoptive father, and now she finally has the opportunity!

Seeing her such a positive appearance, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Li rubbed her granddaughter's hair and said jokingly, "In another day, Hongying thinks about it. When this child was born, did he hold money in his hand? Could it be that we were too busy and didn't see it?!

"This is simply the reincarnation of a money fan. Everyone else is normal, but when the word "yinzi" is mentioned, the eyes can't help but glisten."

Tao Hongying also agreed with a smile, "I think this child was born with a job, and he has been greedy since he was a child!"

Jiayin was teased by grandma and mother, but she was not angry, she bared her teeth and said, "Grandma and mother are right, I was born with a job bowl, and there was a big silver coin in the bowl!"

"Bah, bah, that's a beggar!" Mrs. Li glared at her granddaughter, and everyone laughed even harder.

Only then did Jiayin sit opposite her adoptive father, and asked, "The foster father hasn't said yet, how big is the workshop and how much money will be invested?"

Lord Hou thought for a while, and then said: "Of the wounded soldiers brought back from this expedition, excluding those who chose to go home and those who were resettled in our village, there are still more than 200 people left. Among them, there are more than 80 people who are seriously injured. impractical to move.

"The best work in the workshop, they are competent, and the wages they earn are enough to survive. As for the money invested... within 1000 taels will be fine!"

When Jiayin heard this, her little face turned into a flower with a smile, "Father, then I really have two ways here, just wait a moment."

She got up and ran back to the backyard, and quickly brought two things, a large folded paper and a handful of dried noodles.

Everyone was curious, and Jiayin handed the dry noodles to Master Hou and said, "Father, you should know about these noodles, right? The family always sends a lot to the pier. You and Dad went out and took them out. As long as there is water and pot, you can eat it after cooking. If you eat it with meat sauce, it will be more delicious, isn’t it?”

Lord Hou nodded and guessed, "This kind of noodles are not afraid of spoilage, and it is really convenient to eat. Do you want to open a noodle workshop?"

"Yes, father-in-law, the process of making these noodles is very troublesome. It takes at least three days from fermentation to drying. It requires a lot of hands, and it doesn't require much walking. It can be done while sitting.

"Besides, the sales will definitely not be bad. After all, when Xindu goes to the southern states, there are many people coming and going every day. It's just ordinary people who give gifts during the New Year's day, or visit the elderly and women who have children, and carry two catties of dry noodles. Nice souvenir."

Mrs. Li couldn't help interjecting and said: "Fu Niu'er is right. People's lives are not easy, and it's hard to eat a bowl of noodles on weekdays. If you walk around and visit, it's really a good gift to bring two catties of dry noodles." .You can eat it after cooking in a pot, no need to roll your own noodles, which is convenient and affordable!”

Tao Hongying also said, "These dry noodles are best sold with meat sauce. Then we need to open a farmhouse sauce workshop, which also needs manpower."

Jiayin smiled and praised grandma and mother, "Grandma and mother are too good, that's it."

Tao Hongying said: "Master Hou, leave this matter to me and my mother, we will make dry noodles tomorrow, see how much dry noodles are produced per catty, calculate the cost, and then calculate how many people are needed for each process, and finally Let me tell you another truth.

"Fu Niu'er, she only sees that we have done it, but she hasn't done it before. She can't do these things."

"Mother, you are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge. I came up with a good idea, but you put me aside and despise me!"

Jiayin pouted and complained, but was knocked by the old lady, "I gave birth to you, what's wrong with despising you, do you have an opinion?"

"No, as long as you're happy."

Jiayin shrank her neck and quickly hid beside her adoptive father, making everyone laugh.

Hou Ye opened the big piece of paper and asked, "Fu Niuer, is this a map?"

"Yes, it's a map, a simple map!" Jiayin regained her energy and said enthusiastically, "Father, look, this map only shows the route along the canal to Quanzhou, and the prefectures, county towns and small towns on both sides They are all simply marked by my brother."

She pointed to a few places with steamed buns, "Every time my uncle's fleet goes to these places, they have to buy things. Last time, I saw a man ask my uncle to take a package to one of them and give it to his wife and uncle." , For this reason, I have to invite my uncle to drink, thank you for your help!

"Father, you said that those who don't know uncle, they have letters or things to take, what should they do? Do they also want to find other caravans? If they can't find them, can't they send messages?

"If we send veterans to settle in Xindu and these docks, mark the packages and letters collected from various places, and send them out. Then send the letters and packages delivered from various places to the recipients, It must take a lot of people.

"And this kind of work can be done without hands or feet. If you run a long distance, you can buy a donkey cart. The news spread, maybe you don't need to pick up the mail everywhere, and people will find it at the door..."

Jiayin said excitedly, and pointed to the southwest location of the map, "Also, foster father, if someone doesn't want to sit in the workshop or deliver parcels and letters, then go on an expedition.

"For example, here, there is a kind of medicinal material called Panax notoginseng. I have always wanted it, but my uncle's fleet only goes to Quanzhou, not here at all. There are many delicious fruits here, and I want it too!"

After that, she pointed to Jiangbei's location and said, "Father, these veterans are most familiar with Jiangbei.

"If it's here in Xindu, any wealthy family wants to find more valuable things and rescue someone, or like the Guo family, they definitely want to bring back the bones of their children and grandchildren. I'm afraid they are willing to spend a lot of money and hire people ..."

Before Jiayin could speak, she was suddenly picked up by Lord Hou and turned around several times.

"Fu Niu'er is really amazing, you helped the adoptive father solve a big problem!"

Jiayin was dizzy, but it was rare to see her adoptive father so happy, so she also giggled.

Li's second son also grinned from ear to ear, "We still need Fu Niu'er to do it! Master Hou has been frowning for a whole day, and he scolded that young lady from the Wu family away earlier..."

"Who is Miss Wu's family?" Mrs. Li was the first to ask.

Everyone's gossip was immediately ignited, even Jiayin grabbed her adoptive father by the collar, and joined the melon-eating team at the speed of light, "Father, who is Miss Wu? Is it my future adoptive mother?"

"No, don't listen to your second uncle's nonsense!" Hou Ye coughed dryly, put down the good news and said, "Sit down, I'll write down what Fu Niuer said, and sort it out."

After that, he strode back to the next door.

Seeing him like this, everyone couldn't help sniggering, and finally took Li Laoer to inquire carefully.

Li Lao Er didn't know much, so he could only say: "In the afternoon, I was going to have dinner with Master Hou at the Hou's Mansion to discuss the placement of the wounded soldiers, but I was stopped by a girl when I arrived at the gate of the Hou's Mansion.

"The girl said that she was from the Jiangning Marquis Mansion, that she liked Lord Hou since she was a child, and asked why Lord Hou didn't want to marry her?"
