The struggle of the Nanny of the Red Chamber

The minds of ancient people are very clever, as long as you give a little hint, you will immediately think of a lot.When Tang Chao stated the requirements in this way, within half an hour, the master of the carpentry shop got out the approximate things.Not only that, but also added a cover to the brush box with special intentions, the intention is to prevent the used brush from falling out of its proper position during the operation, and the paper manuscript will be dirty.

Moreover, the self-taught man also fixed a piece of fishing net to the back of the front wooden board, saying that used manuscript paper can be stored there.

Tang Chao was very happy.Immediately ordered five copies according to this method.Two for Jia Min, one for Jia Hu, and one for herself. Even if the newborn Jia Zhu doesn't know how to use it, she should give one.

"One of them is about pomegranate, three about bamboo, and one about plum blossom. How many of these five books can I take away today?" I asked for plum blossom.Jia Min gave pomegranate.The bamboo ones are for Lin Ruhai and the little brothers of the Jia family.

The owner of the woodware shop thought for a while and replied, "This thing is very fast. If you are in a hurry, you can come and pick it up in an hour." There are three master masters and four apprentices in the shop. come out.

When Tang Chao heard this, he was very happy.She thought she would take at most two today.But when she happily asked the boss a lot about the price, the boss mentioned the buyout.

Tang Chao was really happy this time.After all, she had thought about her idea at the beginning, maybe people in ancient times would take a fancy to it, and then pay a patent fee.

So Tang Chao beautifully asked the boss for a price that spanned time and space, and paid back the money on the ground.In the end, after knowing that they were from the Rongguo Mansion, the boss gritted his teeth and gave 100 taels of silver.

Therefore, sometimes only the three words of Rongguo Mansion can solve many problems.Not only did I get 100 taels for nothing, but the five wooden notebooks were also given away for free.

To be honest, if it weren't for the big signboard of Rongguo Mansion, the shop owner wouldn't even bring her 50 taels.As for whether Tang Chao has done some immoral things, Tang Chao will not tell anyone.

Although Tang Chao regretted that she only needed five copies, if she had known that the negotiation had gone so smoothly, she would have asked for five more.Of course, when she said to order five copies, she didn't know whether the owner of the carpentry shop would buy this patent from herself.

It took nearly half an hour just to negotiate the price, plus the time for making appearances, improving and looking at samples before, it was already close to noon.

After Tang Chao realized that there was still half an hour to get the goods, that is, an hour later, he led Xiaoyue to a nearby restaurant in Li Goudan's car.

She has never been to a restaurant in this ancient time.I made a small fortune today, how could I not be extravagant?

In Jia's house, the grandmas paid 20 taels of silver, the aunts had two taels of silver, and the older girls had one tael of silver.You must know that 100 taels of silver is the monthly payment of Jia's grandmothers for five months.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Li Goudan insisted on watching the carriage at the door.Tang Chao was speechless, he just ordered the waiter to look at the carriage, and then called him to go inside.

"Girl, I'd better go outside. It's not comfortable sitting here." Li Goudan pulled the clothes on his body, and whispered to Tang Chao with some confidence.

Tang Chao couldn't help rolling his eyes upwards.Who are these people?

"Don't worry, it's not that we can't afford the money. If you let you eat, you can eat."

"That's right, Li Goudan. Our sister is here, what are you afraid of. Sister, let's eat that." Xiaoyue swept her eyes and saw that at the next table, someone ordered a dish of fried mutton with green onions.

Tang Chao nodded, satisfying this little girl's hobby. "What do you want to eat?" After ordering this dish, Tang Chao ordered another meat, two vegetables and a soup.Only then did he ask Li Goudan, what would he like to eat?

She is not a person of this era, and she does not have that kind of hierarchical distinction in her bones.But she will not do anything that everyone should be good sisters and good friends.

"No, no need. Girl, I, can I just eat a big pancake and take my portion home?" Li Goudan felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that he was full and his younger brother might be hungry. Fall forbearance.

Hearing Li Goudan's question, Tang Chao's eyes straightened.

Nima, the guy who was embarrassed to sit here and eat just now, actually thought of taking it away after so long?Is this pace too fast?

However, looking at this simple and honest face, Tang Chao couldn't equate eating and taking with taking things one step at a time.

"Oh, I remembered, your brother is three or four years old this year." Thinking of the child who has no father or mother, only a silly brother, Xiaoyue, who is only 11 years old this year, suddenly felt sorry for him .

Hearing the question, Li Goudan nodded and smiled.He listened to his mother and raised his elder brother well.Now my younger brother can run and jump, and the previous one has not lost in fights.

"You go out at noon, what does he eat?"

"I have hot pancakes in the morning and put them in the kang. He will take a bite when he is hungry." The younger brother is too young to light the fire.So now he heats the kang every day, puts food on the kang, and covers it with a cotton coat.

"Where are your parents? Don't you care about your younger brother?" Tang Chao asked when he saw the dishes were served, and greeted the two to eat.

"My parents are gone. My brother and I are the only ones in our family. My brother was brought up by me alone." When he was a child, the feces made by his brother were black and smelly, and he cleaned them up.

Tang Chao was startled, and only then raised his eyes to look at the man in front of him. "That's right, such an older child can't eat these things. When we leave, ask him for two more dishes that he can eat."

"No, no. Then you have to spend more money. It's not good. No need." Li Goudan was embarrassed to take the food bought by other girls for nothing.

Tang Chao smiled, "Why are you being polite, I can have some money. When I use you later, I can use more snacks. Come on, don't smirk, eat quickly."

"Oh..." Li Goudan smiled foolishly again.

Tang Chao shook his head, this idiot.

Four dishes and one soup, the plate is big, and there are many dishes.But with Li Goudan, I really ate them all.Tang Chao saw that the man was still a little bit full, and smiled and ordered four buns and a bowl of noodles.

It wasn't until the last bun was eaten that Li Goudan hiccupped happily.

The three of them ate and drank a pot of tea in the restaurant.Then he walked back to the woodware store.

When Tang Chao and others arrived, five wooden notebooks had already been prepared and were neatly stacked on the counter.Tang Chao looked at them one by one and found them all very satisfactory.This is especially true after the boss specially used a good grade of wood.

After thanking the shop owner, Tang Chao left by car.Originally, there was still half a day left, Tang Chao wanted to stroll on the street.But the packed meals have been kept in the car.

Now that I've been here, I have plenty of time to wander around in my life.Let Li Goudan go home to feed his younger brother and talk about other things.

At the back door, he led Xiaoyue out of the carriage.Then he walked to the main courtyard.As for Li Goudan holding the food box behind him, he didn't even see the body that had been motionless for a long time.

Who has the time to talk to him!

After asking Xiaoyue to take the other three books back to her room except for Jia Min, Tang Chao went to Jia Min's room with the gift for Jia Min.

It was just after a nap at this time.Jia Min was wearing an apricot red jacket and was sitting on the kang reading a book of travel notes.Seeing Tang Chao coming in, he put the book lightly on his lap and asked her what she had been doing for the past half day.

Tang Chao saluted, took out the gift he had prepared, and opened it beside Jia Min's kang.Jia Min's vision went from being dispensable at the beginning to being full of surprises at the end.Finally, holding the pomegranate-patterned notebook, he kept calling for paper and ink to be delivered.

"How did you come up with it? It's so convenient to have this." Without waiting for the girl to come up, he put on his shoes and went to the study.

Carefully asked the girl to get the small silver spoon, and gently poured the freshly ground ink into the small bottle with the funnel given to Tang Chao by the woodenware shop.

"This one is a bit short. Yiyao, go and get the set of jade rod brushes I received earlier." Jia Min recalled the set of wolf brushes I got before, which were a set of big and small.There are several small pens in it, all of which can be placed in this pen holder.

Sure enough, she is really a teenage girl, and she is unwilling to let go of something novel when she gets it.

"Seeing that the husband likes it so much, the students are relieved. You know, but very few students are able to personally give the wedding gift to the husband. The students are really lucky!"

Tang Chaote gave Jia Min a scholarly salute in a funny way.Jia Min gave a 'puchi' smile, imitating the old master, turning her back with one hand, and stroking the non-existent beard under her chin with the other hand.

"Well, not bad, not bad. Children can be taught." Before he finished speaking, he laughed.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Grandma Zhang heard laughter as she walked in the yard.Can't help but stop to see Shi Shi, and turn into Jia Min's room.

When Mrs. Zhang knew that this was a gift from Tang Dynasty to Jia Min, she also liked it in her heart.Quickly asked where it was obtained.

"It was made in a carpentry store over at Liulichang. The masters in their family are good at crafting, and they are also light-hearted. The servant girl told me what she wanted, and he cleaned it up and made it. The servant girl returned it to brother Hu. I and my newborn brother also brought one back, and I thought about giving it to my brother for the evening. Grandma looks like it? If grandma likes it, I will order it for grandma tomorrow, how about it? "

"That's not necessary, show me Brother Hu's one later, let's talk about it later." Mrs. Zhang thinks this thing is good, if she finds a better craftsman, it would be elegant to be a New Year's gift.

"That's right. Who is grandma? I haven't seen anything. It's just that I didn't remember it for a while." Tang Chao nodded affirmatively after finishing speaking.

Mrs. Zhang pointed a little, "You are a villain."

Tang Chao grinned, and didn't do what he said, but let Xiaoyue go to her room to get the notebook for Brother Hu.
