Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

The family had stocked up on food in advance, and in the morning, the Sun family sent someone to deliver another cart. Gu Huanxi felt more and more at ease. Even if she took Pu out for a walk and came back empty-handed, she had no worries.

With such heavy snow and cold weather, it is normal for no one to go out to set up stalls. Even the people in the village are resting at home. However, the hard-working villagers couldn't rest, so the men went to burn charcoal, and the women sent a representative to find Gu. Huanxi, I want to ask if I can also work on Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi is very busy now, especially those who knit gloves and socks, which require too much time. Skilled hands can't knit a few pairs every day. Gu Huanxi is also worried that the production capacity is too low, but there are no such machines at the moment. Handmade things cannot be mass-produced no matter how hard and diligent they are.

We can only increase manpower.

Therefore, as soon as Yao Chunlan came to talk to her, she agreed, and the method she proposed was not to pay according to working hours, but to work on a piece-by-piece basis. The more you work, the more you pay. Hats, scarves, gloves, and socks are all priced differently according to the difficulty. , choose by yourself, as long as the quality is good and you collect ten pairs, you can settle the bill once.

This method is so popular among the villagers that if the man wasn't really clumsy, he wouldn't be able to resist doing this cute job.

Therefore, when Yao Chunlan went back and told the story, there was no one in the village who didn't sign up. They rushed to the village in a swarm and learned from the experienced hands first. After seeing it a few times, they could master it. It was also simple to weave, and only required a few smooth threads. Just a wooden stick will do. Oh, the professional name is knitting needles.

Later, even the women from the nearby villages heard the news and came. Because the market demand was high, Gu Huanxi did not refuse and asked Yao Chunlan to take charge of them and conduct a general inspection of their character, and then they all stayed at Zhuangzi.

Yao Chunlan was also put in charge of this stall. She couldn't handle it on her own. She also called a sister-in-law from her fourth uncle's house to help. The person in charge gave her a lot of monthly money. Naturally, this kind of good thing was also done. You have to stay close to your own family first.

Gu Huanxi didn't have any objections. As long as people were diligent and capable, she didn't object to this kind of social interaction.

However, when the old Xu family found out, they went to Uncle Xu unwillingly and complained that Yao Chunlan's elbows were turned outward and she didn't know how close they were to each other. However, Uncle Xu rudely dismissed her. With the personalities of Wang Suyun and Xiao Zhao, who could Can you feel safe using it? If something goes wrong, who will bear the responsibility? This is not the Gu family's own business, this is a business in cooperation with the Su family. If something goes wrong, the jobs of all the villagers will be ruined. At that time, the old Xu family will become the target of public criticism in the village and will no longer have a foothold.

No matter how unconvinced the old Xu family was, they would have no choice but to return in defeat, unable to twist their legs with their arms. Now everyone in the village is on the side of the Gu family. No matter how rogue they are, they don't dare to get into trouble easily and make themselves uncomfortable.

Gu Huanxi heard about it, but he just pretended that he had never heard of it, and he didn't talk to Xu Huaiyi. In the past few days, Xu Huaiyi was so busy that after entering the RV, he didn't even bother to chat for a few words, and fell asleep from exhaustion. How could she bother him with messy things anymore?

It wasn't until Laba that he felt somewhat free.

After these days of busy work, the victims of the disaster have been settled in the new village. They have places to stay warm and medicines to treat their illnesses. Xu Huaiyi also donated a batch of masks, which are worn by both sick and non-sick people to prevent mutual infection. The effect is very good. It was so obvious that it spread among ordinary people for a while.

The medicinal materials for treating the disease were jointly donated by several large pharmacies in the capital, led by Baicaotang. Not only did they donate the medicinal materials, but they also arranged for a doctor to see him. His enthusiastic and positive attitude made many people look at him with suspicion and be puzzled.

There have been many disasters and troubles in the capital in the past, but these drug stores have never been so benevolent in helping the world and saving people?

What's the fuss about now?

Someone with good intentions went to inquire about it, and some vague news came out. It turned out that some people used precious prescriptions as rewards. Whichever house donated the medicine would get the prescription. Each house was different, so this was a great opportunity for medical practitioners. Say, how tempting is it?

Precious prescriptions, if used properly, can completely support a pharmacy and serve as the foundation and support for it to remain standing. However, the prescriptions are rare and cannot be found. The opportunity is right in front of you, who wants to miss it?

No one doubted the authenticity and value of the prescription, just because the person who came forward to discuss the matter was Dr. Jiao.

Only now did Xu Huaiyi and his wife know the origin and background of Dr. Jiao. Sitting in the RV, drinking Laba porridge, Xu Huaiyi said, "Doctor Jiao is really low-key. He and Zhou Yuanshi of Tai Hospital turned out to be senior brothers. It is said that back then The envoy of Zhou Yuan tried his best to recommend him to the Imperial Hospital, but he refused. However, his medical skills were still well-known among the powerful circles, but not much was known about them among the people, including his colleagues, so he came forward to talk about those The pharmacy is very cooperative..."

Gu Huan was curious, "Then why did he leave the capital and go to Xujiacun?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "I didn't ask. The more reliable theory circulating outside is that he has an arrogant temperament and is unwilling to bend down to serve those powerful people. That's why he left the capital in the name of exchanging medical skills and searching for medicine. However, I guess it's very likely that he was involved in some right and wrong, and he was afraid of trouble, so he stayed away."

"possible……"

Apart from this incident, the most unusual and sensational event in the capital was the auction held on Laba Day.

Of course, Gu Huanxi couldn't go to that kind of occasion. She could only wait for Xu Huaiyi to tell her at night how lively and successful he was. He said with great excitement and high spirits, "The wisdom of the ancients cannot be underestimated. I thought they had never been exposed to it." An operation like the auction must be stretched everywhere. Who would have thought that they arranged it properly and without missing a beat. Compared to us at that time, they had a lot more tricks to play and they were also able to build momentum. I mentioned it before. Not only did they If you can understand it, you can also draw inferences..."

"Master was afraid that the household department wouldn't be able to cope with it, so he specially asked me to keep an eye on it. I just watched the excitement the whole time, and there was no use for it. Master was also there. In the private room where he stayed, good guys, there were a bunch of people. Those of high-ranking officials, uncles and marquises are no longer rare, and the princes have all taken part in them."

"The eldest prince is also here. I took a look at him from a distance. Xiaoyu doesn't look like him. He must have followed his mother, right?"

Gu Huan asked curiously, "What was your first impression of the eldest prince?"

Xu Huaiyi muttered, "Looking at the gentle and gentle man, he does not look like someone who is striving for power. However, judging from his words and actions, he seems to be a bit soft-hearted. He lacks the courage and determination of the superiors and is probably scheming. Not many. Even if such a person becomes emperor by chance, can he really sit still? Is it really suitable? Is it really a blessing to the people?"

He asked three times in a row, and Gu Huanxi was speechless.

The couple was silent for a while, but Xu Huaiyi let it go first, "Forget it, worry about the future things later, we still have fun talking now. Guess how much money was auctioned in the end?"

Gu Huanxi estimated the number, "Is there one million taels?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "Guess again, guess higher..."

Gu Huanxi raised his eyebrows, "Two million?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "More than 2.6 million, are you surprised or surprised?"

Gu Huanxi nodded, "Isn't the whole court more surprised?"

Xu Huaiyi said with a smile, "Not only were I surprised, but everyone couldn't believe it. They checked the account books several times, fearing that they had made some mistakes. Master's hands were trembling with excitement. When the show was over, he called me over and said fiercely He praised me so much, hahaha, the master was disgusted. When he went to persuade the master before, he was scolded a lot. Now that he has seen the good results, it’s not his fault. He is just a tool, right? , Master also said that he would ask for credit for me, but I refused..."
