Chapter 125 Hello Stone

I didn’t cook porridge for lunch today. Instead, I had leavened pancakes and wild vegetable, cabbage and egg drop soup.

Niu Li looked at the layer of egg flowers in the pot and said to Gu Qingqing, "You are too ruthless. In the past, when people in the village made egg flowers, they were considered good if they had a few scattered eggs. But here you have a spoon full of egg flowers."

"Brother Dong and Zhao Xi's faces are always greasy after eating every day. Looking at the meals Qingqing makes, they will probably have meat after eating for a while." Yang Xing'er said while looking at the egg drops in the pot.

Gu Qingqing felt a little embarrassed by what they said and spoke directly out what was in her mind, "Uncle, Yuzhu, Dajun and the village chief's family, we are all from the same village. It's not good to eat too badly. Besides, Uncle Yang and Zhaodong are silent brothers. There are no outsiders when we are working, so we just eat. What's the difference between more and less. Don't you think so? Aren't eggs delicious?" Gu Qingqing asked the last sentence in a pinched voice to Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang who came in.

Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang had no idea what they were talking about. When they heard their aunt ask if the eggs were delicious, the two little guys nodded in unison. Xiaoguang seemed to think it was not enough and emphasized "very good."

"You two are greedy." Niu Li scolded with a smile.

Luo Meihua went to town, Niu Zhanghe and Niu Yuzhu were helping out at their home. Before dinner, Gu Qingqing said to Niu Li, "Aunt, you can eat here with the children later. You should cook first when you take them home. Don't make trouble."

After Gu Qingqing finished speaking to her, she said to Yang Xing'er, "You can't leave either. Stay here and eat together. I'll ask Erhua to go to the village and call the two children over so that they won't have to go home without a hot meal."

Seeing that Gu Qingqing was about to assign Erhua, Yang Xing'er hurriedly stopped her, "The children are not at home, they must have gone up the mountain, don't worry about these two naughty boys. I will go back and check on them later."

Seeing her say this, Gu Qingqing didn't feel bothered.

Although the lunch was simple, everyone was satisfied.

After putting away the pots and pans, Gu Qingqing carried Sanhua and Erhua, who had just woken up, and Niu Li, Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang, and they went towards the kiln together.

After Gu Qingqing walked around the kiln and exclaimed in amazement, she began to take action. She temporarily handed Sanhua to Niu Li to help look after it, and began to put the stones she had carried back two days ago into the kiln.

Seeing that she was doing it well, Niu Li couldn't help but ask curiously, "Qingqing, how much do you want to throw in? Or do you want to throw in all the baskets of stones here?"

Gu Qingqing looked at the stones at the bottom of the kiln, then looked at the pile of stones beside her. After thinking for a while, she chuckled and said, "Let's burn them all."

So when Wen Wuyan came back at dusk, he saw a crowd of people at his kiln.

He paid for the ox carts, sent the army back, and went to the kiln himself.

"Are you back?" Gu Qingqing asked.

"Well, is it ready to use?" Wen Wuyan pointed at the kiln and asked.

"Well, Uncle Zhang He said it's ready to use. I put the stones in to calcine them this afternoon. Can I buy tiles today?"

"Well, there happened to be a batch of ready-made ones over there, but it wasn't enough. The store promised to deliver them all in ten days, so it wouldn't affect our progress. In addition, we also went to the wood seller to have a look. We couldn't decide on the main beam, so I decided to buy a few."

"Well, it's up to you."

"How long will this fire last?" Wen Wuyan asked.

Gu Qingqing gave him a look that said "I don't know either", and after thinking for a while, she said, "It will take at least one night, and we'll come back tomorrow morning to take a look."

After adding a few pieces of hard wood to the cave, Gu Qingqing took the children and Wen Wuyan back home.

After dinner, Gu Qingqing said to Li Xin who was about to leave, "Da Xin, there is hot water in the wooden barrel in the kitchen. Take it and wash up."

"I understand, aunt." Li Xin replied.

After they left, Gu Qingqing packed up her things while telling Wen Wuyan about the three wives who came to see her, "What price do you think we should give them?"

Wen Wuyan thought for a moment and said, "We only pay Xiaoyang's mother 30 cents a day. They are going far away, and I think they are traveling together, so we can't pay less than 30 cents. Although we let them decide, we can't give them a price that is too high. So if you think 70% to 30% is appropriate, we will give them 70% and they will give us 30%."

Gu Qingqing was very surprised. "Isn't this too much for us? According to our income in Taohua Town, we can earn about 350 coins per day. If I take 60%, I will take more than 240 coins. They only have about 100 coins left."

Gu Qingqing seemed a little guilty.

"Qingqing, don't you know how good your cooking skills are? Do you need me to praise you again?" Wen Wuyan said to Gu Qingqing with a smile.

"Wen Wuyan!" Gu Qingqing glared at him.

When Dahua saw her parents talking about something, she took Sanhua and Erhua back to the house early.

Seeing this, Wen Wuyan waved to Gu Qingqing and said, "Come, sit down!"

The two sat side by side, Wen Wuyan took Gu Qingqing's hand and said carefully, "I understand Qingqing's idea. You are kind-hearted and want everyone to make money, but have you thought about it? Xiaoyang's mother only earns thirty cents a day in town instead of you. Thirty cents is a lot for farmers, but if you give too much to Zhao Wu's side at the beginning, will Xiaoyang's mother feel uncomfortable?"

"You can start by giving them 30%. When you find a suitable opportunity later, you can ask Xiaoyang's mother if she wants to do the same. By then, you can give them the profit again. Also, don't underestimate your own craftsmanship. There is only cheap labor, not cheap craftsmanship."

Gu Qingqing understood what Wen Wuyan meant. It was very difficult for women to make money in that era. The price she paid for plum blossoms was already equivalent to a strong man's daily earnings.

In fact, let alone thirty cents, she believed that as long as she waved her arm and said she needed people, just to help sell things in the town, there would definitely be people vying for it at twenty cents a day.

Gu Qingqing kept holding hands with Wen Wuyan, turned her head and teased her, "Wen Wuyan, I thought it was you who suggested that I give up half. Do you remember what Zhang Cuilan said to you when we just moved here and I was refining oil?"

Wen Wuyan thought for a moment without any clue, and shook her hand, signaling her to ask.

Gu Qingqing smiled at him and said, "She said at the time: Wen Wuyan, you are a black-hearted charcoal. So I wonder if you really are a black-hearted charcoal?"

Wen Wuyan sighed and helplessly called out "Qingqing!"

Then he pulled Gu Qingqing's hand close to his heart.

Gu Qingqing, who was quick-witted and quick-witted, touched the other's firm muscles with her palms and blurted out "Wen Wuyan, you're so hard!"
