Parents are busy farming

Chapter 77 Cleaning up the shop

The shop was purchased, but since the river had not completely melted, there were no boats and no customers.

It happened that Ye Zifen took advantage of this time to clean out the shop, which also contained tables, chairs and benches that the previous tenant did not want.

But it saved another expense for Ye Zifen.

"Sister, I bought a small shop and it needs to be cleaned. I wonder if you have time to help?" Zifen asked Zifei politely.

Ye Zifei said to Ye Zifen unceremoniously: "You are only so polite to me when you ask for help from me."

Ye Zifen hugged her arm and shook it, and she quickly said: "I have time whenever I can. Just tell me when you want to clean, and I will clean it for you."

If you don't agree, your arm will be shaken off by this girl.

"Tomorrow, clean it up so I can start business." Ye Zifen said excitedly.

Ye Zifei asked quietly in her ear: "Be honest with me, how much did you spend on this shop?"

Ye Zifen answered truthfully: "All the pocket money my aunt gave me and the New Year's money in the past few years are all in it."

Ye Zifei opened her mouth wide. She didn't expect that her sister would make such a big move this time.

"I'll pack it up for you tomorrow so that we can open it as soon as possible and make money as soon as possible." Ye Zifei said impatiently.

"Have you figured out who is working in the shop?" Ye Zifei asked again.

Ye Zifen said nothing, just stared at her blankly.

The meaning is already quite obvious, that is her.

Ye Zifei pointed to her nose in disbelief and asked, "Me?"

Ye Zifen nodded, "From now on, I will get up early every day and go to the store to make the mutton soup. You can just sell it there. I will ask Daniel to help you."

"Didn't Daniel take care of those sheep for you?" Ye Zifei asked.

"There are relatively few sheep now, so Uncle Li can help with it. Let him help during this period. After a while, when the family is busy, I will find someone else."

Ye Zifen doesn't have much money in her hands anymore, so she can only do this now.

"How much are you going to give me if you ask me to help you?" Ye Zifei asked half-jokingly.

"How about twenty cents a day?" Ye Zifen said uncertainly.

Zhi Fei stretched out the index finger of her right hand and shook it in front of Zhi Fen, "Give me 10% of the profit."

Ye Zifen didn't know whether to thank her for her trust or her dedication, and finally nodded.

"Is Fifth Miss at home?"

Ye Zifen heard someone calling her outside and quickly came out of the house.

Mrs. Feng had already walked out of the kitchen and went to open the door.

Ye Zifen also followed and saw eight large boxes on a carriage.

The driver was the one from the magistrate's family.

"Why are you here?" Ye Zifen quickly removed the threshold with Mrs. Feng.

"Our wives packed some things for Miss Fifth, and I was sent to deliver them here." The coachman explained.

"Has the date of departure been set?" Ye Zifen asked as she watched the coachman lead the carriage into his home.

"It's decided, the sixth day of February." The coachman came over to inform Ye Zifen.

"Okay, I will go there early that day." After Ye Zifen said that, he left. Ye Yongwang and Lao Li called over.

Let them help move those boxes into the weaving room.

There was no way, their sister's room was already a little crowded, and she planned to move other boxes into the weaving room!

Then she asked the coachman to bring some bacon and other things she had made herself, and sent him off politely.

She then went to sort those things.

Fabrics, jewelry, clothes, sachets, purses, vases, etc., everything is available.

It was as if he was preparing a dowry for his daughter, which moved her and made her feel dumbfounded at the same time.

She even saw two 100-tael silver notes, and she knew without thinking that Mrs. Hong Er had prepared them.

There is an apology for her niece. There is a reason why the second wife, a concubine, can live so well in the Hong family.

In addition, the eldest grandma had prepared several sets of clothes for her. I am afraid that she had her needlework rush to make them since she left. They were all large and small.

Ye Zifen was grateful for her attentiveness.

Mrs. Feng had been thoughtful since the coachman left. She thought that the main family only had two money, but she didn't expect that her young lady was so popular with the county magistrate's family.

But judging from their tone just now, the county magistrate is probably about to leave.

But this has nothing to do with her. She likes this farmhouse very much now. There are no fights and the host family is easy to get along with.

There were several young ladies in the family with different personalities, but these young ladies never tried to impress others. She felt that she had fallen into a lucky nest.

*

Mu Hongzhou knew Ye Zifen's plan, so he changed the training task to the journey from Lujiacun to the county seat.

Only when Ye Yefei was panting from exhaustion and almost out of breath did she realize that she had been tricked by her sister.

The other three people have been training for a while, and now they don't pay attention to this journey at all.

Especially Zhang Gaoyi, he relied on his legs to get to and from the county town, so Mu Hongzhou put the large backpack he brought this time on Zhang Gaoyi's back.

‘Don’t you have feelings? You little guy, how can you call it training if you don’t get tired and lie down! ’ Mu Hongzhou crossed his arms and pondered.

This hit Ye Zifei even more because others could walk faster than her even if they were carrying heavy loads.

A naked blow, she now seriously doubted that this was what Ye Zifen and Master Mu had discussed.

She thought: ‘Xiao Wu also wants her to practice martial arts! ’

In all conscience, Zi Zifen never thought that it would be difficult for her to practice martial arts at her age, let alone her third sister who was four years older than her!

Mu Hongzhou didn't want to irritate Ye Zifei, but they were used to exercising and hadn't used a donkey cart for a long time...

No matter what, Ye Zifei used her last breath of strength to finally arrive at the store where Ye Zifen bought her new store.

Regardless of whether the table or stool was clean, she sat down on it, sweating profusely, and her handkerchief was soaked with sweat.

The bellyband inside was also tightly attached to the body. Not only was it uncomfortable, but it was also a bit shy.

After resting for a while, she had the strength to look at Ye Zifen's shop.

The shop is not big, but it faces the pier.

He curled his lips and thought: 'Just such a small shop costs so much money, it's a huge loss. ’

Except for Mu Hongzhou, several others are already busy, and Zhang Gaoyi is building a new stove.

The original stove and pot were relatively small and not suitable for them to make mutton soup, so Ye Zifen decided to dismantle the original stove and build a new one.

"You can't feel full even if you only drink mutton soup! What staple food are you going to make?" Zhang Gaoyi asked Ye Zifen as he smeared mud on the bricks.

Ye Zifen was washing the rag. She had wiped the table outside for the second time. The water used to wash the rag was still the color of mud.

"Mountain!" Even though Ye Zifen only said one word, he said it forcefully and quite confidently.

"With your high cost, will anyone come to eat?" Zhang Gaoyi glanced at Ye Zifen, who had a wrinkled head and said.

Ye Zifen twisted the dirty water from the rag into the basin and explained: "You don't understand this! The income of boatmen is actually quite high, and each boatman will take advantage of his own convenience to do some small business in the north and south. The income is much higher than that of the average person.”

"Do you want to sell it to them?" Zhang Gaoyi asked.

"Ok!"

Ye Zifen looked at the dirty wall and felt annoyed.

The tables and chairs can be cleaned, but the walls are so dirty that it’s not good for diners to come in and lose their appetite!

"Want to paint the wall?" Zhang Gaoyi asked.

Ye Zifen nodded: "I don't know where to buy white lime."

"I know. After you finish the tables and chairs, I will take you to buy them. After painting the walls, it will be cool enough to open the business." Zhang Gaoyi said.

When Ye Zifen agreed, he threw a piece of paper to Zhang Gaoyi. That was the day he was going to learn calligraphy.

Zhang Gaoyi took it, listened carefully to what Ye Zifen said, and then began to recite it silently. When he got home at night, he would compare the words on the paper with what he had recited.

Then write on the table with water.
