    Chen Nianguan quickly found out the origins of this group of people in his original memory when they shouted for the first time.

    Those who call themselves cousins should be children of the grandfather's family.

    Soon, she matched the name with the face. Half a year ago, Uncle Liu's eldest cousin got married and had a wedding, and Liu took her and Xuan Xuan back to Liujia Village.

    "Yes, cousin, cousin!"

    The oldest ones are 15-year-old Liu Chi from the Second Uncle Liu's family, Liu Feng from the 12-year-old Liu Feng from the Second Uncle Liu's family, Liu He from the Third Uncle Liu's family who is also 12 years old, and Liu Ye from the Fourth Uncle Liu's family.

    With such a group of people carrying so many things on donkeys, could it be that they came to visit relatives at her house in Funing County?

    After all, Uncle Liu's only relative is his sister in Funing County.

    Ask again, sure enough, because the autumn harvest is over, the busy farming has passed, and there is nothing to do in the field. Liu Chi and others who are idle at home are thinking of finding work in the town as usual, so Uncle Liu asked them to bring Baogu sweet potatoesWhen came to visit aunt's family in Funing County, Liu Ye clamored to come and play with Xuan Xuan, so she took it with her.

    When Chen Nianguan returned to Yanlai Lane, a string of tails followed him.

    Seeing her natal family coming, Mrs. Liu was also taken aback, so she hurriedly cleaned up the house, and then she heard Liu Chi meant that they were here anyway, why don't you just look for work in the county and want to stay with them temporarily, Wait until you find a job before moving out.

    "Hey, it's already here, is it possible that aunt will drive you away?" Mrs. Liu pretended to be angry and asked them to stay at ease. After greeting them with jujube cakes, she found Chen Nianguan behind her back: "Wan Wan, thisDo you think of a way to arrange the quilt in the wing room?"

    There are beds in the west wing, but no bedding.

    Chen Nianguan just came back from tearing the cloth and wanted Liu's help to make it. Seeing this cousin on the street, he probably wanted to stay overnight, so he immediately took them into the cloth shop and bought some ready-made bedding.brought back on their donkeys.

    Liu Shi showed a satisfied smile to her daughter.

    Sure enough, she is her good daughter who knows how to behave.

    Chen Nianguan also smiled, looked at the lively cousins playing with Xuan Xuan in the courtyard, imitated Liu's tone and said to her: "Mother, I have something I want to ask youOpinion."

    Now they can earn more than 2 taels of silver every day selling rice noodles. Such a huge amount of income is unimaginable to ordinary people, but this business is exhausting, unlike selling fish rot, which is seasonal and can growTo be long-term, but if she continues to do this, she may die of exhaustion within a year.

    So today, on the 15th day, even if Chen Nianguan was killed, he didn't want to leave the stall, but wanted to rest.

    Now that she calmed down, she wondered if she could hire some people since the job was so lucrative.

    For example, there is a group of people who get up to prepare rice noodles and broth seasonings, and a group of people who go out to sell rice noodles at the pier. With this shift system, she and Liu Shi don't have to be so tired every day.

    Two taels of silver a day is a lot, but you can earn less, let yourself live a little easier, and let others earn some, isn't it a good thing for win-win?

    After she had this idea, she wondered where to find helpers.

    Then I realized that in this day and age, if you want trustworthy people, and people who don't despise or bully them because they are mothers and daughters, I'm afraid you can only go to the dental shop to ask and buy a few girls back.

    As a result, before she had time to act, this cousin came to her door.

    Then heard that they came to the city to find work during the slack season, and was immediately moved. Isn't this a ready-made manpower?

    Mrs. Liu has been married for so many years, and the Liu family has not forgotten this daughter. When Mrs. Liu is in trouble, she still asks people to help their mother and daughter from time to time, which shows her character.

    Besides, the sons of Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu were all here. She remembered that Uncle Liu said that these two uncles were killed while fighting pirates.The sons of the family all came out to find work, and it is estimated that there are not many.

    The nature of the fathers is like this, she thinks that the character of her cousin should also be trustworthy.

    They were looking for work, and she happened to be short of manpower. If she asked to hire them, wouldn't she kill two birds with one stone?

    I just don’t know if my cousin is willing to do the job of selling rice noodles!

    As soon as Chen Nianguan said that he wanted to hire his cousin, Mrs. Liu immediately agreed.

    It's a pity that she didn't go to the stall today and lost two taels of silver for nothing. If the nephews are willing to do it, can she and her daughter rest, can they let them go to the stall?

    "Aniang will help you with this matter, and I will leave it to Aniang!" Liu Shi almost patted his chest and promised.

    Chen Nianguan knew that A Niang was reliable, so he naturally believed in Liu.

    When Liu Chi and the others entered the city this time, they also brought a lot of agricultural products with them on their donkeys. They were still rations such as sweet potatoes and bracts, as well as the last batch of cabbage, cucumbers and zucchini.Arrow mushrooms.

    Fearing that they have seen winter before, helped them stock up on rations first, so moved everything into the small cellar in the kitchen for storage.

    Knowing the generosity and care of her natal family, Liu was very moved and determined to help her natal family, gossiping with her nephews and cultivating their relationship.

    Speaking of the family situation, Liu He, who hadn't seen his only aunt for a long time, and the others chatted enthusiastically, talking about their fathers fighting against the bandits back then.

    Chen Nianguan was terrified when he heard that a family of women and children hid in the cellar, and the men in charge stayed outside, while Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu wanted to prevent Japanese pirates from hurting people and splashing blood on the spot.

    She has traveled to this era for a short time, and has never heard of wars. Seeing the bustling docks and the bustling business in the county town, she thought she had traveled to a peaceful and prosperous age.

    Unexpectedly, behind this peaceful scene, there is such a dangerous happening.

    "But now our Liujia Village is safe." Liu He, cousin of Uncle Liu's family, finally said, "The court sent adults to send troops to suppress the bandits, and the pirates in the east and south of the Yangtze River have all been driven away!"

    "That's right, that lord from the capital city is amazing. He beat the Japanese people to the brim. Thanks to him, we can finally live a peaceful life again."

    The sadness of losing their fathers passed over the faces of the teenagers, and cheerful smiles appeared again.

    "My father told me before he died that he must live a good life and take good care of my mother and sister." Liu He thought of his father, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little. He lowered his head, obviously talking about his father's death orvery sad.

    "My father also said that he wants us to take good care of our brothers and sisters." Liu Feng also said, and then waved his hand, "Hey, the pirates are gone. Our life is going well, and my father is just worrying."

    Chen Nianguan listened to their topic shifting to how much rice the family had harvested this autumn harvest, and walked out slowly.

    I saw Liu Ye and Xuan Xuan walking around two donkeys in the courtyard, and one of them was riding a donkey around the jujube tree.

    "Sister, sister, how about making something delicious for my cousin tonight?" Xuan Xuan, who had finally found a playmate, raised his face and shouted at Chen Nianguan.

    "Okay, Xuan Xuan, tell Auntie that I'll go out and buy some meat for everyone, and I'll add more vegetables tonight."

    As soon as Chen Nianguan went out, he saw Zhang Yulang also walking towards the door. What a coincidence, he still wants to go out?

    "Master Zhang!"

    "I am the second in the family, Miss Chen Si can call me Zhang Er." Zhang Yulang waved his hands again and again.

    They're all tricksters, so what's the point of calling Mr. Cheng?

    "Zhang Erlang!" Chen Nianguan called out casually, "Are you going out to buy something? Is there anything missing?"

    "Miss Chen Si, you're welcome." Zhang Yulang blushed slightly, thinking that the cloth he brought back just now needed the help of this girl Chen to sew the clothes and bedding, "I saw a bookstore next to the tailor shop earlier, so I wanted to go see.”

    Yes, this Zhang Yulang is a scholar.

    Wanting to go to the bookstore, whether reading or buying books, is very common, and scholars are expensive. Could it be that he still wants to enter the imperial examination?

    Chen Nianguan happened to be on the way with Zhang Yulang, so they went out of Yanlai Lane together, and parted ways after arriving at the bookstore.

    The bookstore is full of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, booklets of different categories, and some manuscripts.

    Zhang Yulang picked up a few manuscripts and flipped through them. With a clear idea in mind, he went directly to the shopkeeper to explain his intentions.

    He is a scholar, and apart from being a buddy, a scholar also has many ways to make money. Zhang Yulang accepted Chen Nianguan's offer, but he planned to spend his spare time copying books.

    What happened at the cloth shop today was really embarrassing.

    He is a mere gentleman, at first he had to borrow money from a little girl in order to buy clothes, but today he is shy in front of Miss Chen Si, this is really unbearable for him.

    Therefore, when he came out of the cloth shop and saw that there were manuscripts for sale in this bookstore, he had the idea of finding a few more jobs for himself, and he must not be unable to pay the money in front of Miss Chen Si next time.

    The shopkeeper asked Zhang Yulang to copy a page of the book on the spot. He saw that his handwriting was stable and dignified, and his handwriting was strong enough to penetrate the back of the paper. The handwriting in his own shop's manuscripts was all excellent. He also saw that he was a gentleman, gentle and elegant., delivered a simple two-hundred-page booklet to try to use labor first, and then renew the contract after it is completed depending on the situation.

    Zhang Yulang readily agreed, and three days later, he copied the thin booklet and handed it to the shopkeeper.

    The shopkeeper checked it out and found no mistakes, and appreciated it very much, so he paid him 200 wen as a polishing fee, and then handed him 500 pages of ancient books, and agreed to finish copying it within ten days, and then handed over 400 wen in money.

    Since then, copying books has become the source of Zhang Yulang's monthly fixed income, which is a later story.

    Besides, Chen Nianguan, considering the appetite of the three young men, bought two chickens, two catties of suet, and one catty of bones at the market. By the way, he also bought pork bones for tomorrow's soup. As for vegetables, so he planned to directly use the zucchini, cabbage and mushrooms that Liu Chi and the others brought.

    After returning home, Mrs. Liu had already soaked brown rice, and then helped Chen Nianguan at the stove.

    "how?"

    Chen Nianguan asked Liu if he had asked his cousins if they would like to sell pho with them.

    "I've asked, and they said, we'll open the stall with us tomorrow, and we'll see what happens." Mrs. Liu helped choose the vegetables, and watched Chen Nianguan's reaction.

    Chen Nianguan expressed his understanding.

    "Wan Wan, you didn't tell me that if you want to hire them to work, how much is the daily wage, and I can't set the price myself, so they are a little hesitant." Liu regretted.

    "It's okay, wait until tomorrow they set up a stall with us and see that they are willing to work with us, then we will negotiate a salary."

    Chen Nianguan first boiled the suet through water to produce lard, and waited until the suet was cut into pieces to slowly release the oil, turning into pieces of browned oil residue.

    Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye, who smelled the burning incense, ran in one after another: "It smells so good, sister, what are you doing delicious?"

    "It's oil residue!" Liu Ye exclaimed.

    Chen Nianguan looked at Liu Ye's small expression, and knew that there were probably fewer meat eaters in the countryside, so he picked up a piece and stuffed it directly for her. Liu Ye tasted delicious, but it was hot, and he couldn't help covering his chin while inhaling..

    "I want it too, sister, I want it too."

    So Chen Nianguan also handed a piece to his sister.

    "It's delicious, it's really delicious!" Liu Ye said with a smashed mouth after eating.

    "Go, help Auntie wash the vegetables, and the vegetables to eat at night will be more delicious."

    "Cousin, I'll help you make a fire. I'm very good at making fires." Liu Ye said obediently, "I often help my aunts to burn firewood at home."

    Liu Ye got the job of burning firewood, so Xuan Xuan was not to be outdone, and she also guarded a stove to watch the fire.

    In the courtyard, Mrs. Liu had already taken cabbage, twig mushrooms, and two chickens. Seeing the chicken, the three cousins knew that there was meat to eat tonight, and their eyes lit up. Two of them helped kill the chicken and pluck the feathers., one helped to peel the mushrooms, and he was busy with his hands and feet.
