Chapter 32 Where Did This Badge Come From?

By the time Rong Zhan came back with the horse dealer, it was already afternoon.

The two chatted all the way and seemed to have a good rapport. They were still talking until they reached the gate.

Chu Wanying went out and called them to stop, and the two of them came back to their senses.

Rong Zhan smiled and said, "Wan Ying, I will bring him back. What you need him to do is up to you."

After hearing this, the horse dealer scratched his head and said, "I can only raise horses, but I really don't know anything else. If there are any shortcomings, don't be angry!"

Chu Wanying looked around him and saw that he was strong and a good worker.

"Okay, I wonder if you have discussed the wages with him?" This question was asked to Rong Zhan beside him.

The man shook his head, "Not yet, everything is at your discretion."

"Okay, let's do this. I will give you two coins a month from now on. I will tell you the specific work later. If you think it is okay, we will sign a letter of engagement."

Two coins is not a small sum in today's terms. The horse dealer felt a little guilty and did not think he could take on this responsibility.

Na Na said, "You'd better tell me what you want me to do first, otherwise, I won't know what to do and I won't dare to accept your request casually."

Chu Wanying thought to herself: This person is quite cautious.

"Actually, I just want to hire you to help us raise horses and raise some chickens, ducks, cows and other livestock."

Her plan was to bring the Rong family to live in the town, and then let the horse dealer live in the old house in the village and help her run a small farm.

It's just that the house in the backyard hasn't been built yet, so he can only let him send the horse back to Rong's house for the time being, while he continues to live in the shabby thatched house at the foot of the mountain.

When everything is ready, let him return to Yunluo Village to live.

After hearing what she said, the horse dealer looked surprised, "Is it that simple?"

"How difficult do you think it is? By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Oh, my surname is Qin, and my single name is Wu."

"Okay, I'll call you Xiao Wu from now on! What do you want?" The girl raised her eyebrows and looked at the silent man standing on one side, asking him the following words.

The latter just smiled and said nothing, obviously having no opinion.

"Then it's settled. You can take Xiao Wu and the horses home later and talk to your family. I'll be here to keep an eye on the shop."

After they left, she told Chen Er and Li Xiaolian to work hard. There was no rush, but they must count the goods carefully to make sure there were no mistakes.

The two of them said hello, and she slowly walked to the backyard alone.

Taking out a pen and paper, Chu Wanying began to plan.

The backyard is rectangular, with the warehouse on the west side and an open space on the east side.

The warehouse in the courtyard occupies about half of the courtyard. Her plan is to have the warehouse area reduced, and the remaining space can be used to build three small townhouses.

Each room covers an area of ​​about ten square meters and faces north and south.

At the same time, two more small rooms can be enclosed on the east side, one is a kitchen and the other is a hut.

After rolling up the design drawing and stuffing it back into her arms, Chu Wanying walked into the warehouse, took out the previously made wooden frame from the space, and placed it at the base of the wall.

Then he went out to find a carpenter and a bricklayer. When they all agreed on the price, it was already evening when they came back.

The steps are shaky and the body is swaying slightly.

Chu Wanying felt that her whole body no longer obeyed her orders.

After working hard for nearly twenty hours, I really didn't even blink my eyes, and my body was inevitably a little overwhelmed.

Rubbing her temples, she leaned against a store door and sat down to rest.

There is something on my mind, even if I sit down my mind is still running.

I have just made an agreement with the carpenter to make twenty rows of wooden frames. Including the labor cost, it will cost one to two to five coins.

As for the bricklayer, he said that he would be responsible for recruiting workers and would settle the work on a daily basis. If it was quick, it could be completed within a month, and it was expected to cost ten taels of silver.

Chu Wanying entered the space and took out her account book and calculated them one by one.

It was almost time to rest, so she walked towards the rice noodle shop with heavy steps.

The store was about to close, and Chen Er handed her the account book with a smile, "Girl, you are a lucky person! Just after the store was sold, a big deal came. I wrote it down for you. This deal is almost the same.

It can make you thirty taels!"

"What kind of business is it?" When Chu Wanying heard that he could make money, his previous fatigue was swept away and he immediately woke up.

"It's like this. There's a new restaurant opened in the town. The shopkeeper just came here and each bought fifty kilograms of rice and noodles. He said he would come to buy from us again in the future!"

Nowadays, one stone of rice has increased to two taels of silver, and one stone of noodles is worth one tael and five taels. The shopkeeper's price is one hundred and seventy-five taels.

Such a generous gesture made Chu Wanying feel a little uneasy.

The grain stored in the rice noodle shop is not too much to begin with, but the other party bought so much at once, is he also planning to stock up on grain?

This unrealistic idea suddenly popped into her mind.

It seems that a reserve plan must be made.

That night, Chu Wanying paid all the wages for the month to the two of them, and Chen Erqian left after thanking him profusely.

Li Xiaolian had no place to go, so she made do with sleeping in a shop.

As soon as she walked out of the shop, she saw Rong Zhan standing at the door.

The man's face was still pale, but he could not hide his handsomeness. He stretched out his hand to her and said, "Are you tired? Come up and I will carry you."

Chu Wanying was really a little tired, but she didn't hesitate and jumped directly onto the man's back.

Along the way, I chatted with the man about what I had done today, which was a review of the whole day's tasks.

As he spoke, his eyelids could no longer hold on and drooped.

I don't know if the man's back was too warm, but after a while, she fell asleep.

When they arrived at the gate of Rong's courtyard, Lao Rong saw them coming back for the first time. He was about to ask if he wanted to cook some food for them, but Rong Zhan winked at him.

Old Rong glanced at the girl behind the man and saw that she was lying quietly on his back, breathing evenly. He guessed his intention and turned around with a smile and entered the house.

Rong Zhan carried the girl into the house and placed her on the bed.

When he was about to leave, he stopped when he saw the drawings on the table.

"It's interesting." He read the papers one by one and murmured.

I thought to myself, I wonder what weird things this girl has in her head, how she can think of so many interesting designs.

After closing the door, he turned around and saw Mrs. Zhao and Lao Rongtou standing in the yard talking.

Seeing him coming, he asked, "Is Wanying asleep?"

Rong Zhan, "Yeah."

"I just discussed it with your father. If we all move out and leave Xiao Wu here alone, I still feel uneasy. It's not that my parents are small-minded, it's just that the world is too chaotic today, and we must be on guard against others!"

Rong Zhan understood their intention, but he didn't force it, "I understand, but I'm afraid that with you here, Xiao Wu will inevitably be restrained and dare not let go."

He already had a rough idea of ​​Chu Wanying's plan in his mind, and simply explained their arrangements to the old couple.

"You are quite courageous, you are quite like your father in the past!" As he spoke, Old Rongtou could not help but feel a little emotional.

Mrs. Zhao glared at him, pinched his arm and said, "Now, why are you mentioning those things in the past? The most important thing for us now is to live a good life in our little family and be a neat family!"

When she said this, her eyes suddenly darkened.

Rong Zhan knew that she was thinking of her elder brother Rong Lin again, and comforted her, "Don't worry, mom, we will definitely find him in the future."

"I hope so! Mom doesn't ask for anything right now. I just ask that you and Wanying can live a good life and that our family can be safe."

After giving him a few more instructions, Mrs. Zhao went back to the house alone to sleep with her baby.

He and the old man were the only ones left in the hospital.

As soon as Mr. Zhao entered the house, he immediately took out the waistband he had picked up earlier from his arms and handed it to Old Rongtou.

"Dad, look what this is."

Old Rong took it and took a look, his expression immediately changed, and he said sternly, "Where did you get this thing?!"
