Chapter 24 Make money and marry a wife!
Zhuzhu was reaching out to catch the half-dark light in the ice lamp. When her mother asked, she nodded her head and answered.

"Yeah, yeah! Come back to make money and buy snacks!"

These words were said by Tai Jiye just now, Zhuzhu just learned a few words, but Yang Lihua was very relieved to hear it.

After a silent night, Yang Lihua simply tidied up the east room and fell asleep with her daughter in her arms.

Tai Jiye took his two nephews and stayed in the West Room for half the night, until they were too sleepy.

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, the old man rushed to the city with his whole family.

Tai Jiye, with his pig-headed head on his head, ran out to buy some dyes and simple carving knives.

He wandered around the city for a few years, and he made a few friends, and borrowed a cart and a few picks.

The whole family didn't even have time to rest, and immediately rushed to the river outside the city to mine ice with pickaxes.

In this season, it is still very cold.

I heard that some people hauled firewood and charcoal to the city, but the Tai family was definitely the first to go to the trouble of cutting and transporting ice.

Many people asked curiously. Of course, the Tai family couldn't tell the truth, and they only vaguely responded by talking about building an ice cellar.

Others couldn't ask, so they ignored it.

After all, the truck is not full of gold and silver, but just some ice cubes that can be seen everywhere.

Then, these ice cubes entered the small broken yard where Tai's family borrowed, and became treasures.

Tai Jizong has been handy since he was a child. During his spare time in farming for many years, he would go out to do odd jobs.

He fired kilns, built houses, and even struck iron.

In short, if you do everything, you are not proficient in everything.

But at this time, it is still possible to support my younger brother and carve a beautiful shape for the ice cube.

Tai Yongan is very strong, and he is responsible for transporting ice cubes inside and outside the city along with his grandfather and father.

Tai Yongning has bad legs and feet, but he is smart and careful. He works with his second uncle to help dye ice cubes or do simple preliminary carvings.

Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were in charge of running errands and passing tools.

Yang Lihua pulled cotton from the cotton coat, tied it with a wooden stick, made a simple pen, and drew many flower shapes and simple small animals on the table with dye, for Tai Jizong's reference.

Liu Dongniang is responsible for boiling water for cooking and providing logistical support.

Tai Jiye, on the other hand, carried his little niece behind his back, and kept his mouth open, trying to coordinate at any time.

The family actually didn't think about how much money they would make, but now that they had decided, they worked together and focused all their energy on one thing!

Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it won't be a big loss and you can just make your child happy.

When the sky darkens, a dozen or so initially completed ice lanterns are lit one after another.

Zhuzhu was the first to clap her chubby hands, laughing happily.

"It's so beautiful! Mother, Xingxing, Huahua Xingxing!"

Nai Tuanzi hugged Naiqin's neck, excitedly wanting her to see more.

Yang Lihua was also excited, and suddenly felt that this job might really be possible.

This time, instead of using Akiko pine trees, the family bought candles, cut one into five or six small candles, and put them in an ice lamp. The burning time was longer and there was no black smoke.

Xu Shi saw the light from a distance, and soon, Manager Min came over with the boy.

The two ice rabbits at the door are as tall as half a person, and in the eyes of a child, they are about the same size as themselves.

A rabbit is holding a carrot, and a rabbit is bowing with its ears up, which is very clever and funny.

Zhuzhu also likes these two the most, for fear that Manager Min will take someone away.

She ran over and hugged the carrot together with the rabbit. She blinked at Manager Min with her big eyes. Her cute little appearance could melt even a stone-hearted person in an instant.

Manager Min immediately took the snack box from the servant and handed it to Zhuzhu.

"Little girl, this is the snack we baked today at home. Can I trade this rabbit with you?"

Zhuzhu twitched her small nose, her saliva was flooded by the sweetness of the snacks, but she still asked her elders in a childish voice.

"mother?"

Yang Lihua was also happy that Guanshi Min was so hardworking, so she quickly asked her daughter to thank her.

Zhuzhu saluted in a dignified manner, her fat little body was wearing heavy jacket and trousers, she almost fell into a gourd when she bent down.

Manager Min hugged the milk dumplings, narrowed his eyes happily, and then handed the snack box to Yang Lihua.

"Our little girl is so cute and well-raised."

Everyone thanked him and continued to look at the other ice lanterns.

It has to be said that everyone in the Tai family put their heart and soul into it. Manager Min walked around and looked at all of them, feeling extremely satisfied.

On the spot, he paid five taels of silver as a deposit, handed over the job of decorating the garden to the Tai family, and then took the boy back to carry the ice-carved rabbit holding a carrot.

Zhuzhu was reluctant to part with the rabbit, and wanted to reach out to reach it back, but she was holding a snack box in her hand, and the little milk fat who was entangled for a while was trying hard!

The cute bunny was carried away!
But the snacks are so delicious, I really want to eat them!
Tai Jizong couldn't bear to part with his niece and quickly coaxed her, "Zhuzhu, be good. My second uncle will carve a rabbit for you. It will be bigger than you and can hold you in his arms!"

Zhuzhu immediately became happy, hugged her second uncle and kissed her several times.

Tai Jizong was so excited that he took the tools and worked overtime quickly!

In fact, it's not to coax Zhuzhu, the whole family has to work overtime.

The Min family's birthday party is only three days away. Decorating a garden requires at least two to three hundred ice sculptures, which is a big project.

When the old man was hesitating whether to go back to the village to find some more help, Manager Min actually left and came back.

"Uncle Tai, we brought back the rabbit lamp just now. Our lady likes it very much, and our wife and master agreed."

He took 20 taels of silver directly from his arms and said, "Our wife said that not only the garden, but also some of the corridors in the house need to be illuminated with ice lanterns. These are all left to you, so be sure to pay attention."

At that time, after the banquet, your benefits will be indispensable. "

Before Mr. Tai could answer, Tai Jiye had already taken the money and shouted loudly, "Don't worry, Brother Min, our family will do our best to do the job well, and we will definitely make our lady's birthday party lively and decent. .”

He just followed the stick and changed directly from manager to eldest brother, which did not offend Manager Min. After all, everyone likes to be flattered.

Tai Jiye also proposed to go to Min's house to see how many ice sculptures he would need.

How could Manager Min not agree? He proposed this matter. If it is done well, he will show his face in front of the master.

Tai Jiye immediately tidied up and followed Manager Min away.

Yang Lihua praised, "The third brother is very smart. Maybe this job can really earn him enough money to get a wife!"

"Hmph! He's just a street stalker, he's good at fooling people with his lips." The old man said it with extreme disgust, but the corners of his mouth kept curling up.

With a playful heart, Zhuzhu tried her best to run to the second uncle, pointing to the rabbit who lacked a partner at the door.

"Tutu, Second Uncle, there is a missing Tutu!"

"Okay, okay, my second uncle will carve it for you right now!" Tai Jizong quickly started working.

Instead, the old man turned around and said, "No, our family can't do this job by ourselves, we need to find more people."

Tai Jizu and Tai Jizong did simple calculations and both nodded.

The whole family has been busy with a dozen ice sculptures for a whole day. If two to three hundred are needed, it is impossible to carve them out in three days.

What should I do? Where can I hire people?
Even if someone is hired, what if someone learns the tricks and steals the business...
