Physician and Food [Farming]

Four or five days later, Gouwa went to the city to deliver the animals again.And picked up the Malatang stall again.Rearranging various matters, with the previous experience, it is relatively easy to do this.

After confirming when it will open, Gou Wa came back in the cattle cart.As soon as it got dark that day, Liu Si's daughter-in-law came.

Gouwa was very tired this day, so he still raised his spirits to talk to Liu Si's daughter-in-law.

Liu Si's daughter-in-law is not in a good condition.There are a lot of things going on recently, and she is not a woman who makes up her mind too much.With so many things on her head at present, it is not easy for a person to persevere until now.

"Come here and sit down. Seeing that you have lost weight in the past few days, you must have worried a lot." Gou Wa made room for her.

Liu Si's daughter-in-law looked around and sat on the edge of the kang, her buttocks were only on the side, and she didn't dare to sit still.

"You don't look as rich as you were in the next year." Liu Si's wife sighed, "Xiu'er wanted to come over several times, but I stopped her."

Ao Mu is still very supportive of his decision.He nodded and said: "It should be like this. Xiu'er and I are both grown up, it's not good to get together."

Gouwa is nineteen years old this year, and if he is placed in someone else's home, some of the children will leave.It's just that fewer and fewer people introduce girls to him nowadays.Even if there is, I started to introduce it to my little wife.Gou Wa intends to let the long-term workers spread the word that he has arranged a good marriage with a nobleman, and the woman is a decent lady in the city.With good ones, it is natural to look down on those in the village.

They still retreated despite the difficulties.It's just that Gouwa is also a little worried about sending his concubine or maid.It's okay to send the little wife.Just say that the main wife can prevaricate without getting through the door.

But the humane behavior of sending a maid is usually not shallow.Usually, they would only talk about how the girl was abused at home, or how the family lived.I can only send girls out to work to supplement the family income.Send it to a big family in the city, for fear of finding a powerful master, who will scold and abuse people today and tomorrow.Or a kind family like Gou Wa is a better place to go.

If it weren't for the person who introduced him, he had already introduced the girl to Gou Wa several times.Gou Wa really believed it.

Gouwa also understood that it should be that Yao Xue who took in in winter gave them inspiration.Therefore, the girls who are sent later are basically set in this way.

It's just that no matter whether it's true or not, Gou Wa rejected them all.What did others introduce?If he met him, he would be saved by fate with great kindness.If other people hear that he has such a behavior and can send it over, that Gouwa will not be able to save him even if he has mountains of gold and silver.

"That's exactly what I said. When a girl grows up, she won't be able to keep her." Liu Si's wife sighed, thought about it, and then said, "Your sister, you have looked up to her since she was a child. There is no one about her character and style. Knows better than you."

Gou Wa only thought that she was going to match Liu Xiu'er and herself again, so she hurriedly said, "It's hard to say. Xiu'er always has her own plans."

"Listen to me first." Liu Si's daughter-in-law took out a purse from her bosom, "In theory, you've helped my family so much, I shouldn't have troubled you anymore. But this girl can't stay when she's too old. Come and stay and stay as enemies. Since she stopped working, she always wanted to find a good husband. But in this village, she couldn’t find a suitable one. I was afraid that rumors about things in the city would spread to our village. It will affect the relationship between the couple in the future."

Gouwa heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this: "You want me to help you find it?"

Liu Si's daughter-in-law nodded repeatedly, and wanted to hand the money bag to Gouwa: "Aren't we a family with high eyesight and low power? As long as it is a stable family, it is fine. If the nobleman in your family has considerable servants, as long as the family conditions are good, even It doesn’t matter if it’s not a good one. Just don’t let your sister suffer. I didn’t let you be a matchmaker for nothing, you take the money, just treat it as an aunt who treats you to dinner.”

Gouwa was not willing to accept it, so he hurriedly pushed back: "This is not a troublesome thing at all. It seems that we are out of touch by accepting your money. We grew up in childhood, so naturally we want to look after her."

Gouwa thought about it again, and couldn't help but think of what Tie Dan taught him back then.A person's life is neither long nor short, and he always finds someone he likes.

Thinking of this, Gouwa misses the iron egg in the city even more.He said: "If you want me to say, whoever we choose for her will always have a good time. Xiu'er is a conscientious person, why not let him choose by himself? The village doesn't like it, so go to the city to choose. By the way, My elder sister has been in the city since she left with the Gao family, and she even opened an embroidery studio. It looks pretty decent. Xiu’er learned from my second elder sister for a while when she was a child. It’s good to help out there. When the time comes, you will always come into contact with people when you do business. If you fall in love with one of these companies, wouldn't that solve your fourth uncle's concerns?"

These words made sense, Liu Si's daughter-in-law was moved by what she said, but she still couldn't let go of her heart: "How can a girl choose it by herself?"

Gou Wa smiled and said: "No one said that girls should not be allowed to choose by themselves! The reason why they all think so. Firstly, they feel that the eldest girl is shameless to worry about this matter. But our family is not so rigid. Secondly, It’s because I feel that girls have no opinions and are easily deceived by wicked people. But Xiu’er’s current knowledge is only a lot better than ours. Why should we worry so much?”

After being persuaded like this, Liu Si's daughter-in-law also wanted to understand.I can't help but boast that Gouwa is capable and thinks about things comprehensively.Later, he still insisted on keeping the money, and Gouwa refused to accept anything.He only said that if he really wanted to thank him, he would just cook something delicious and bring it to him.It just so happens that Liu Si's daughter-in-law is good at craftsmanship.Gouwa also grew up from the snacks she made.

Then the two discussed it, and it would be good for Liu Xiuer to send it to Lanzi.Once Zhao Wuye and the others couldn't find him, they came to help Lanzi and earn a fortune to support themselves.It's just that she will be left to take care of Liu Si who is lying on the bed right now, and she will only be sent there when Liu Si's condition improves.

And in Gouwa's heart.If Liu Xiu'er can continue to support herself, she won't be afraid even if she doesn't get married in the future.

In this world, daughters are inferior to men.A man who does not marry a daughter-in-law for a lifetime will at most be told by the villagers that he is worthless.But if a woman doesn't get married, it's a big mistake.Occasionally, even women over a certain age are forced to marry, and no one can help them.

Although there is no such rule in contemporary times, if Liu Xiuer's parents are gone, even if Liu Xiuer doesn't want to get married, she can't help herself.To put it bluntly, if some rascal in the village bullied her and took her away as a wife, no one would make decisions for her.At that time, she will either accept her fate or hit her head to death.

But if they are enough to hold together and protect each other, then they will not be afraid of anything in the future.

That is.As long as there are enough people, even a group of women who have never looked for a man all their lives can live a good life together.

That's really the case, Gouwa really hopes that her second sister can continue.Think about what happened to her in the Gao family.Gou Wa would rather she live alone for the rest of her life than take the risk of finding a new husband.

Of course, if Lan Zi has his eyes on someone, Gou Wa will not stop him.His little brother-in-law has always been very competent.

The stall of Malatang also opened smoothly, and some meat and meatballs were added to the dishes.All the dishes are threaded with sticks, tell the stall owner how many skewers you pick, the stalls are usually couples.One is in charge of cleaning, and the other is in charge of collecting money and taking care of lottery.Whatever is agreed upon.Then put the skewered ingredients into the deep zhaoli (zhaoli), and there is a clip with the same number as the zhaoli to hold the stick.When it is hot, pay the money with one hand and take the hot Malatang with the other.

Because it is a small business with a special business model, only money is required to get the bowl.

The price is calculated according to the stick. There is only a small amount of meat skewers, only one meatball, and one or two noodles count as a stick.A lottery worth a penny is a strong man, and ten or eight copper coins are enough to eat.Ten Wen, six vegetables and four pieces of meat, after eating this meal, it is enough to cover most of the day's work.

However, the price is relatively expensive. At the beginning, the business was not booming, and there was no shortage of people coming. There were not many people who came to eat more than five yuan.Basically, noodles worth two cents, dishes worth two cents, and meat or meatballs worth one cent are all considered extravagant.

There are also some people who pick up two chopsticks of meat at the side of Dingyan Ershi, and then come to order two noodles and one dish.

But word of mouth is really good.In a few days, people living around came to try something new.Gouwa watched it for two days and ate it twice.Clean, tasty, and hassle-free.

Within a few days, this fresh food named "Ma La Tang" became more and more famous in the city, and some people from better families would come to eat it.There are some families who come out to hold toothbrush festivals, and spend thirty or fifty yuan at a time to eat to their heart's content, and there are also some.

This business is booming, and more and more money will naturally come into the account.

The hired stall owners even responded that they were too busy.It is recommended to help the new hires, or simply open a few more stalls.Such a good business is completely feasible even if it is a serious business.

Gou Wa really has this idea.It's just that there are too many things to deal with right now, and he is a little too busy.There are few people around who can make suggestions to help.So for the time being, he has no plans to expand.On the other hand, if you recruit a buddy, you will personally check the selection.

Gouwa's business is in full swing, with a few taels of silver entering the account every day, and more and more silver in his hand.

The money is so much that Gouwa seriously considers whether to expand the current home.Or build a bigger home.

When the conditions are good, the demand for food and clothing will naturally increase.

And just when Gouwa was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.The Bai family, who had been preparing for more than half a year, finally got the exact news of the emperor's northern tour.

Another batch of members of the Bai family came back from the capital, and the whole family breathed cautiously before their eyes, waiting eagerly and nervously for the visit of the emperor.

This is also the time when Iron Egg has the lowest degree of freedom.Even he can only obediently stay in the mansion and reduce going out.Yun Yan has been following Tie Dan's side.Tie Dan didn't let him go out frequently.Only let other trustworthy and unremarkable people go in and out more often, and bring back news of Gouwa at any time.
