Ordinary observers in fast time travel

Chapter 211 Confucianism and Taoism Struggle

The well water is clear and cool, with a little dust floating on it, but there is nothing else.

Seeing this, Chu Ningyan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately there was still a well to eat.

"The water is so shallow!" Yun Shu looked at the water in the well curiously, and she could touch it with her hand.

"Be careful, don't get close." Chu Ningyan reminded her, her eyes fell on the row of houses, which were still entwined with cobwebs and deserted for a long time.I'll go to Jishang later and ask, I don't know how much it costs to hire a helper.

"Sister, would you like some water?"

"No, don't drink it either, the well needs to be cleaned up."

"Oh." Yun Shu withdrew her hand embarrassingly.

Seeing noon, the two were also hungry, so they went out the same way, ate two bowls of noodles at a nearby stall, and went to the dental shop all the way.

"Girl, do you want to buy a person or a land?" A tall and thin man greeted him.

"My shop has been abandoned for a long time, and I want to hire some maids to clean the house. There are many weeds in the two yards, and there are two wells that need to be cleaned, so I need to find some strong laborers to tidy up the yard. It is best if someone can clean the wells , as a potter's wheel." Chu Ningyan talked about her needs and observed the man in front of her.

This is also an ordinary man, with neither literary nor martial energy in his body.

"How big is the girl's shop and yard, so I can choose the manpower." The man asked.

Chu Ningyan looked around, "The shop is twice as big as yours, with two floors. The yard is more than three times the size of the shop, and there is a row of houses in the yard. I'm going to move in tonight, so I can arrange more people."

The shopkeeper nodded, "Girl, don't worry, now that the war is over, there are plenty of people who are willing to come out and do things."

"Okay, then trouble the shopkeeper to choose the manpower."

"Sure, girl, please, sign the contract and let someone clean your shop." The shopkeeper of the dental shop led Chu Ningyan into the shop.

Chu Ningyan pulled Yun Shu to sit down, and someone came over with tea.

She brought the teacup up to the tip of her nose and sniffed it. The tea smell was not very pure, and the quality of the tea was average.I took a sip, it was too astringent.

"Bah, it's too bitter." Yun Shu grew up with Chu Ningyan, so naturally she has seen good things.

Chu Ningyan smiled helplessly, her eyes fell on the furnishings of the shop, thinking about what her shop should do.Do eat?Or a rouge shop?

These two directions are very promising, but my shop is located in a remote place, so I am afraid that it is not very popular.

Although Chu Ningyan is young and still a woman in the inner house, she likes to read travel notes, and her vision is still wider than that of ordinary inner women.

While she was thinking, the shopkeeper came over with a contract and ink pad. "Girl, please tell me the address and size of the shop."

"The address is No. 10, West Fourth Lane, Changping Street. If it is big or small, the shopkeeper can estimate it according to what I just said, and then arrange the manpower. It doesn't matter if there are one or two more people. The wages will be paid." Since the shopkeeper took the contract After coming out, Chu Ningyan's eyes kept falling on the contract.

This thin paper actually has a lingering literary spirit.She took a closer look and found that it was the style produced by the words above.It turns out that not only poetry can produce literary spirit?
"You just said No. 10, West Fourth Lane, Changping Street? You mean that ghost—" The shopkeeper's eyes widened in surprise, staring at Chu Ningyan, as if confirming whether the other party was a human or a ghost.

"What?" Chu Ningyan came back to her senses, and asked again without hearing clearly.

"No, no, it's just that No. 10, West Fourth Lane, Changping Street, is a bit special. It was uninhabited for seven or eight years, and the wages of helpers are one to two times higher than those of others." All are scribes.Respect Confucianism and Taoism, and don't talk about gods.

"One to two times more?" Chu Ningyan frowned, she didn't know how much it would cost to hire a helper. "How much is it?"

"It takes at least 150 renminbi a day to hire a helper. In the case of No. 10, West Fourth Lane, Changping Street, it costs at least 300 renminbi a day. Although the girl only hires for half a day, she needs 200 renminbi per day to complete the work." Yaxing Originally, the shopkeeper wanted to speak loudly, but he was a little apprehensive about No. 10, West Fifth Lane.

Still within the acceptable range, Chu Ningyan asked again, "How about tooth money?"

"[-]% of the total." The shopkeeper swallowed, it's a pity that the money delivered to the door is not profitable.

"Okay, let's see how many people are suitable for the shopkeeper to hire?"

"Based on the size of the shop at No. 10, West Fourth Lane, Changping Street, at least three to five women and three to four strong laborers are needed. If the girl wants to clean the well, she also needs a skilled well digger. This well digger The price is calculated separately, ranging from 700-800 Wen."

so expensive?Chu Ningyan frowned.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper of the dental shop explained, "You don't know that it costs 2-5 taels to dig a well. Although you only need to clean the well now, this is not a job that ordinary people can do."

"In this case, the shopkeeper can arrange it for me."

"Okay, then at your request, I will arrange more manpower for the girl to clean up the shop, and it will be convenient for you to settle down before nightfall." The shopkeeper said quickly, "5 women, 4 strong laborers, 1 well digger , a total of 2400 Wen, plus 240 Wen Yaqin, it is 2640 Wen.”

"Oh, the price of the mother-in-law is lower at 160 Wen per person."

"Okay, this is 3 taels of silver, please write the deed." Chu Ningyan quickly calculated the total and took out the silver.

Seeing her being so forthright, the shopkeeper immediately smiled when he was hesitant to do this business, "Okay!" The shopkeeper picked up a pen and quickly added the address, amount, number of employees and other information on the contract.

After the two parties signed and signed, Chu Ningyan clearly felt an invisible force linking the two together.

Chu Ningyan put away her contract and said to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, No. 10 West Fourth Lane, Changping Street, do you know the way?"

"Naturally, girl, do you have other things?"

"Well, I still need to buy some things, so I will trouble the shopkeeper to go there first, the door is not locked, just push the door and go in."

"Okay, then girl, you have to go back quickly. The helper will leave after cleaning up. If you are not satisfied by then, there is nothing you can do."

"rest assured."

Up to this moment, Chu Ningyan still doesn't understand the problem of her shop, she's afraid it's hiding something unclean.

According to the storybook of travel notes, ink treasures, even poems with literary spirit can exorcise evil spirits and guard houses. If you don’t have both, you can also ask someone to write a few couplets, or ask a few door gods to go back and paste them on the door. Can.

This is also one of her next itineraries.

After leaving the dental shop, I came to the West Market.Although she had just experienced the war, many people went to the market. Chu Ningyan listened carefully and found that most of the merchants came from other cities and came in behind Xia Jun's ass.

As soon as Luzhou City was captured, they couldn't wait to come in and occupy the market.

And Luzhou's local wealthy merchants naturally did not allow other merchants to rob them, so the war was barely stopped, and the business started.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this little pony?" (End of this chapter)
