Chapter 115 Kiln Building
Chapter 115 Kiln Building
After the strong man left, Gu Qingqing once again bought all five pounds of tofu from the tofu stall.
Then go to the west of the city to buy some water.
This time, the boss lady looked at her with new eyes. Not only the boss lady, but even the boss who was half-closed behind the stall immediately stood up and came over when he saw Gu Qingqing coming.
"Big sister, I never knew offal could be cooked so deliciously. Today I asked my son to buy a bowl from you. Oh, it tastes amazing. Your cooking skills are better than the pork I cook." The owner of the pork stall praised her when she saw her coming over.
They sell pork, and pork is indispensable on the table every day. In her husband's words: This is what we do, and if we don't care about the food, we would be unworthy of the butcher knife in our hands.
Before, she thought pork was delicious no matter how it was cooked, but now, as soon as she ate Gu Qingqing’s braised pork intestines, she started to miss the taste as soon as she put down her chopsticks.
She wanted her son to buy another bowl, but was told that it was definitely sold out that day. This was what he had to wait in line for half a day to buy.
When she looked back at the soup at the bottom of the bowl, there was no more. Her husband had already poured rice on the soup and was eating it.
"The boss lady likes it. Just tell her, and you won't have to ask the children to buy it for you. I'll bring it to you when I come to get water every day." Gu Qingqing deliberately sold it well to them.
In fact, her business is very good now, and this place has the most pig offal in the town. If the owner of the meat stall sells this stuff to others, she won't be able to set up her stall.
When the lady boss heard that she could eat whatever she wanted without having to queue, she was delighted and said hastily, "Oh, I feel relieved when you said that. Then just save two servings for us tomorrow. Your food is so delicious."
Seeing that the boss lady had become his customer, Gu Qingqing was in a better mood and took the opportunity to say, "Boss lady, there is something else I need to discuss with you. You see, I will come here every day to buy offal, so can you reserve the offal for me? If there are other people coming to buy, how about giving me priority?"
The proprietress didn't speak in a hurry, but turned her head to look at her man.
The meat stall owner was a big, strong man. He came over and said to Gu Qingqing, "I guess your business is good these days. There are some small customers who want to buy meat. I happened to meet them and I refused them all. We are honest in doing business. It can't be said that no one wanted this before. Poor people can't afford meat, so some people buy this to taste the meat. But we also deal with a lot of them. Since you are the one who bought this first and your business is good, there is no reason for us to sell it to others. Don't worry, we will keep it for you as long as you need it."
Gu Qingqing gave the boss a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you are so kind. It's a deal."
Before Gu Qingqing got home, she saw cartloads of blue bricks being transported toward her home. Those who were watching the excitement at the entrance of the village hurriedly stopped her.
"Wen family, are these the blue bricks your family bought?"
Gu Qingqing didn't even need to say anything, the people around her immediately burst into laughter, "Auntie, there was only Wen Wuyan's family on this path before, mule carts and donkey carts all turned around here, who else could it be if not her family!"
"Hey, I'm asking because I see so many bricks will cost a lot of money."
"Wen Gu, your family is going to build a big brick and tile house?"
"These bricks look like a lot. Do you want help? We villagers have nothing but great strength." A woman asked at this time.
Gu Qingqing waited for them to finish talking before she said, "Of course we need helpers. If you are interested, you can come and have a look tomorrow. We will start the groundbreaking tomorrow. I can't say which helpers we will need specifically. The child's father and the village chief are in charge."
"Everyone had already heard about this from the village chief, and now that the host said this, the crowd immediately became excited."
"Hey, Qingqing, how much does a skilled worker earn a day? How much does an unskilled worker earn a day? Tell us first so we can have some fun." Someone else asked impatiently.
Gu Qingqing gave the other party a polite smile in return, "Aunt, please ask your family to come tomorrow. I can't say for sure about the wages of the skilled workers, but the wages of the unskilled workers are definitely not low. The child's father will know the exact amount tomorrow. If you ask me to tell you now, I really can't say it."
Gu Qingqing threw out a hope of good pay and left them in suspense.
She naturally knew how much wages she was going to offer, but she still waited for Wen Wuyan to say this.
Then Gu Qingqing chatted with them for a while before going home.
Wen Wuyan saw her coming back from afar, so he went to meet her and said excitedly, "Qingqing, look, Qingzhuan is here."
Gu Qingqing's face has been smiling all day. She looked at the happy Wen Wuyan and was happy too. "I saw it. Why didn't you just watch over there? Why did you run over to greet me? You were worried that I would get lost in the way."
Gu Qingqing teased him deliberately.
"Uncle Yang and Brother Dong are taking care of them over there, so I came here. I wanted to tell you as soon as I was happy."
"Well, I'm happy too."
When Gu Qingqing was reading novels before, she often saw that the air was sweet. At that time, she didn’t understand it. How could air be sweet?
This time she seemed to understand that what was sweet was not the air, but the mood in her heart.
The air is also sweet, because every breath is sweet.
The first thing she did when she got home was to ask Zhao Dong and Niu Zhanghe to help her build a kiln in the vacant lot.
"Okay, we've been here for several days, but we haven't done anything except digging three holes for you. We also eat and drink for free at your house every day. If we don't do something, we'll be too embarrassed to show our face." Zhao Dong said immediately when he saw Gu Qingqing finally asked them to do something.
Gu Qingqing had been interacting with them for the past few days and liked their cheerfulness. She said, "Brother Zhao, how can you say you haven't worked? Look at the firewood we have collected at home. It's almost enough for us to burn through the winter. We can sell it for a lot of money in town. You see, we haven't even paid you."
Although what Gu Qingqing said was a bit exaggerated, she was still very happy when she saw the pile of firewood neatly stacked on the open space.
"Let's go and build the kiln. We'll build it just as you say. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
