Chapter 147

The chief was about to leave. As soon as he turned around, he looked into manbao's eyes. He couldn't help but stop and asked, "is this your little girl?"

Man Bao raised his small face and smiled sweetly at him. Li Chang subconsciously also pulled a smile.

Old Zhou tou answered with a heart, pulled man Bao over and whispered, "call grandpa Li Chang."

Man Bao cried in a crisp voice, "Grandpa Li Chang is good!"

Li Chang's face couldn't help laughing, and the folds were piled together. He stretched out some dry hands, touched her small head and said with a smile: "OK, ok..."

The chief left with people and went to the next house to collect money. Man Bao touched his little head and looked up and asked her father, "why do everyone like to touch my head?"

Man Bao's hair is fluffy. Because the weather is going to be cold, she hasn't shaved her head for months. At this time, her hair is about to cover her ears. Lao Zhou also touched her head when he heard the speech and said with a smile: "because we are full of treasure and lovely."

Man Bao was happy, raised his smiling face, and then turned to see off thurlong.

Zhou Silang took his clothes with him. Xiao Qian also made him two pairs of thick shoes. Man Bao wrapped him a full bag of sugar and said, "fourth brother, if you are hungry, eat sugar. Don't worry. Tomorrow I'll let my eldest brother go to you and cook broth for you. But I think ginger soup is better than broth. I'd better cook ginger soup for you."

"No!" Zhou Silang thought or didn't want to say, "the third brother still has broth to drink. As a result, I can only drink ginger soup?"

It's not that he hasn't drunk it. It's not good at all.

Man Bao coaxed him like a child, "fourth brother, ginger soup is to keep out the cold. The eldest brother said that you have to stand in the water to build a river dam, and ginger is more expensive than meat."

Zhou Silang: "I like to eat cheap, not expensive."

Man Bao pondered the taste of ginger soup and nodded deeply. What a coincidence, so is she.

Zhou Silang will gather that day and go to Jiangding village with other strong men in the village. It is said that the county government has bought a batch of materials and will start construction tomorrow.

Jiangding village is not far from Qili Village, at least a little closer than the county seat, but it is in the opposite direction to the county seat. It's about four minutes up the water flow.

Qili Village is a small village with only about 60 households. Therefore, the head of Qili Village is from Dali Village. He is in charge of more than 60 households here and more than 30 households in Dali Village. Dali Village is a big village. There are two heads of Qili Village alone, so the large collections of several nearby villages will be placed in Dali Village.

The situation in Jiangding village is similar to that in Dali Village. There are more than 100 households in the village, which are directly managed by a leader, and several small villages nearby are used to going to the market in Jiangding village.

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang went to see the broken dam in advance. It was just three miles upstream of Jiangding village. There were no people there, and naturally no one sold anything.

But Zhou Erlang felt that if they put their stall here, someone would follow, because it was too close to Jiangding village.

I'm afraid they won't have an advantage then.

So the two brothers discussed and decided to build a thatched shed not far from the river bank. At that time, it will not only be good for business, but also occupy a place. They can even sleep here to guard things at night.

Anyway, it's not very cold yet. They think it's OK.

The brothers who have done a labor business once have full confidence in this business, so they are not as tied up as they were the year before.

Old Zhou tou and Qian Shi didn't stop them and let them go.

So man Bao took Wu Lang to discuss with Zhou Dalang, "brother, ginger soup is better than broth. Do you want to cook some, we'll sell it to you cheaply."

Zhou Dalang was surprised, "we have to buy it."

"Of course," man Baoli said, "the fourth brother still owes his family money. If you don't buy it, what will he pay back if he eats all the ginger in the field?"

Zhou Dalang thought for a while and thought what she said was reasonable. He thought that it wouldn't take much ginger to cook a pot of ginger soup, so he nodded and said, "OK, how much do you sell to us?"

"I asked my fourth brother. He said thirty Wen would be good."

Zhou Dalang and Zhou Erlang had no opinion at all. Anyway, the money was given to old four. Old four still had to give it to his family, so they just changed hands.

So don't say thirty or forty.

As for the money in the fifth brother's hand... Zhou Dalang looked around, picked up man Bao and asked in a low voice, "man Bao, tell brother quietly how much money they have saved with you?"

Man Bao covered his mouth and said, "I promised them not to tell you."

"You whisper to big brother, big brother doesn't say."

Man Bao couldn't help but take down his hand and said, "Sir, it's not a secret if the secret passes the third person's ear, so I won't tell you."

Zhou Dalang: "

If you don't tell him, don't tell him. Anyway, he can know in just one or two years.

The reason why Zhou Dalang wanted to know the money they saved on Friday was that old Zhou tou said that when he finished his hard work, his family would build a new house and start dating old four.

After all, when he becomes a man, it's better for him to take the responsibility of a family if he marries a daughter-in-law.

This year was unexpectedly smooth. The family made money much faster than in previous years, so there was still some money for building a house, that is, the money for the fourth marriage may be worse.

Thinking about these things, Zhou Dalang went to Jiangding village with Zhou Erlang and Zhou Sanlang to occupy a place, simply put up a thatched shed, and then planned to open.

The people who bought their soup and vegetables last year knew what they were going to do at a glance, but a large number did not know.

Including the Yamen soldiers who came to supervise the work, they asked curiously. They couldn't help but be happy when they heard that Zhou Dalang was going to do business here, "these are all labourers. What business do you do?"

Zhou Dalang said with a smile, "it's just to make hot soup for everyone. It's not worth a lot of money. It's going to be cold that day. Everyone is standing in the water to work, so cook some broth and ginger soup to drive out the cold. My brother is also in it."

"Oh? Which is it? "

Zhou Dalang showed Zhou Silang to them. The Yamen couldn't help laughing, "this smooth tongued boy turned out to be your brother. I know him well. He often ran to our place to sell ginger these days. Why, you can't eat enough ginger and bring it here to make soup?"

Zhou Silang's main selling places are the official community near the county government and the rich community next door. He wanders around these two places almost every day. Of course, the government servants know him.

Although they don't live there, they work there. Those two places are also the main patrol places, okay?

So they not only know each other, but also know each other.

Lang was eloquent on Thursday. He had been known as a brother during this period, so when he came to serve and met these acquaintances, he was directly arranged to move stones and shovel soil on the shore.
