Chapter 119 Hiring
Wu Sen looked back and saw his father behind him.
"father."
"You're an adult, but you can't even keep your mouth shut while eating. If you can't speak, don't speak. Can't you see that everyone is eating?" Wu Shan scolded him unhappily.
The people present burst into laughter.
Gu Qingqing also pursed her lips and said, "If you want to eat offal at home in the future, you can rub it with wood ash to remove the fishy smell, then rinse it with hot water, and then you can cook it according to your own habits, and it won't be so unpalatable."
The gentlemen present also said that they remembered it, but it is hard to say how much they really remembered.
She didn't elaborate on her specific approach, after all, she still had to buy the money.
However, after the man had eaten and went to work, Gu Qingqing kept Luo Meihua.
"Meihua, I want to discuss something with you. Are you interested?" Gu Qingqing asked.
Luo Meihua was startled at first, then she looked at Gu Qingqing and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, tell me what's the matter."
Then Gu Qingqing said bluntly without any preparation that she wanted to hire her.
"You want me to go to town to make a living? No, no, how can I do that?" When Luo Meihua heard that Gu Qingqing wanted her to go to town alone to sell pig intestines, she was so scared that she waved her hands repeatedly.
When the child's father was still alive, she went to the town with him several times. But after he left, she seldom went to the town except during festivals.
Even if she went, she would go with her mother-in-law. Now Gu Qingqing asked her if she dared to go to the town alone to set up a stall to do business. How could she do that?
Gu Qingqing noticed her choice of words. She did not say that she did not dare, but she said that she did not know how to make a living.
"Meihua, tell me honestly, are you worried about not being able to make a living? Or are you afraid to bring Dahua to town?"
Luo Meihua was nervous, rubbing her hands and saying, "Sister-in-law, isn't this a problem?"
Gu Qingqing shook her head and said, "It's different. If you don't dare to bring Dahua to the town, it's a personality problem. I can't force you. If you're worried that you can't do it well because you have never done it before, I still have a way. So, not to mention doing it, just asking you to bring Dahua to the battle, are you afraid?"
Luo Meihua thought about it for a moment and shook her head.
"Well, that means you are not afraid. Since you are not afraid of going to the town, then you are afraid of contacting people? After all, to make a living you have to deal with people coming and going, so are you afraid of contacting people?" Gu Qingqing asked again.
Luo Meihua was a little embarrassed by the question, "Sister-in-law, we are not doing anything bad, it's just human contact, this, this is not scary, right?"
"That's it. Since you dare to go into battle and come into contact with others, you are just afraid that you have never made a living. Don't worry about that. Since I want you to go, I will naturally go with you in the early stage. In addition, the things I make are not very famous in the town, but there are still many regular customers. You just need to guard the stall and they will come to buy. Of course, I won't let you go for nothing. I will pay you a salary of thirty cents a day."
"No, no, it's too much." When Luo Meihua heard thirty cents a day, she was so scared that she almost jumped up from the stool. The men in the village could not earn thirty cents a day doing such heavy work. She just helped sell things in the town, how could she ask for so much.
In the past, women in the village only earned about ten cents a day by helping other people during the busy farming season. She felt that it was too much for her to help peel melon seeds.
Luo Meihua's hands were almost like propellers.
Gu Qingqing laughed dumbly, "Okay, as long as you dare, I have the final say on how much money to give you. Besides, you think it's easy, you have to drive the cart around every day, and I don't know how much time you waste on the road."
"I......"
Gu Qingqing interrupted Luo Meihua when she saw she was about to say something, "Meihua, don't rush to refuse. You can discuss it with your uncle and aunt when you get home, or you can follow me to the town to take a look. If you feel you can do it, I will hire you. I am busy with things at home. If you feel you can't do it, I will do it myself. Do you think it's okay?"
Luo Meihua thought about it, nodded heavily, and then went home.
That night, during dinner, Gu Qingqing told Wen Wuyan that she wanted to hire Luo Meihua to replace her.
Wen Wuyan naturally agreed.
After dinner, Wen Wuyan saw Gu Qingqing drawing on paper with a bamboo stick dipped in ink, so he went over to her.
"Qingqing, what are you drawing again?"
Gu Qingqing smiled at Wen Wuyan, "The carpenter is coming the day after tomorrow. I want to draw some cabinets for the house and ask him to make them according to this."
Gu Qingqing had no idea what the wardrobes of the wealthy families in the town looked like, but she was really not used to using suitcases. It was convenient to put all the clothes in a suitcase to take the top ones, but it was not easy to get to the bottom ones because she had to move the clothes on the top layer again.
Too impractical.
She doesn’t know how to design a house, but designing a wardrobe is no problem for her.
In the worst case scenario, even if the house turns out to be extremely ugly, she can still chop it up and use it as firewood. If the house is built based on her poor knowledge and there are problems in the future, she can go see her grandmother.
It was truly a happy occasion.
As a result, Wen Wuyan looked at her drawing and was puzzled for a long time. Finally, he pointed at the paper and asked, "Qingqing, your cabinet..."
Wen Wuyan looked at the lines on the drawing, and after looking left and right, he still felt confused.
Gu Qingqing looked down at the rectangular cabinet on the paper, then looked at Wen Wuyan. She asked, "Don't you understand?"
Wen Wuyan continued to watch with a frown on his face.
"Is it hard to understand?" Gu Qingqing wondered.
Wen Wuyan didn't want to discourage her, so he suddenly said, "I think Qingqing hasn't finished her painting yet. I'll take a look after you finish it."
But Gu Qingqing leaned the bamboo stick against the inkstone and blinked at Wen Wuyan, "I'm done."
Wen Wuyan lowered his head to look at the painting on the paper again. For the first time, he felt that he was at a loss for words. What should he say now?
There was indeed a prototype of a modern wardrobe on the paper, but Gu Qingqing did not use any dotted lines and used only solid lines. Her original intention was to draw a three-dimensional cabinet, but her lines looked messy to Wen Wuyan.
Wen Wuyan couldn't bear to discourage her, so he thought for a moment and said, "Qingqing, this is a really beautiful painting. I don't want to show them your brush and ink. Why don't you dictate and I'll paint it, so that I can keep your brush and ink."
Wen Wuyan said sincerely.
Gu Qingqing narrowed her eyes and looked at the face that she liked more and more. "You didn't lie to me?"
Wen Wuyan was afraid that she would not believe him, so he grabbed her and asked, "Qingqing, don't you believe me?"
Wen Wuyan was afraid that what he said was not true enough, so he added weight, "This is the first time I see Qingqing painting."
Gu Qingqing finally gave in and generously gave her painting to Wen Wuyan, and then she began to dictate.
Night black star man.
There is a small table in the courtyard with a small candle burning on it. A man is bending over his desk, writing and painting seriously. In front of the table, a woman is walking around the courtyard with her hands behind her back. She raises her head slightly and seems to be meditating and composing a poem.
However, the wind blew and I heard
"Five feet four inches high, three feet six inches wide, and one foot eight inches deep, so we need eight sets. In addition..."
