Delicate Flower Chapter 134: King 4
Yu Tang looked towards his father.
Yu Wen is obviously aware of this problem.
He smiled bitterly at his daughter and said, "Mr. Shen is really a man of his word!"
If other people encountered such a thing, they might just forget it, but Shen Shanyan tried every means to help them get sea buckthorn tree saplings.
I can only keep these kindnesses in my heart and pay them back slowly.
Yu Tang thought about it and smiled at his father: "Dad, let A Tiao take Wang Si back to the old house quickly! This sapling has been on the road for almost two months, and it is not transplanted now. It's a good season, just in case..." If it doesn't work, wouldn't it be a failure of everyone's efforts.
Yu Wen thought the same thing and hurriedly called A Tiao over and gave him some instructions.
Yu Tang carefully asked Mrs. Chen to prepare some food and asked Wang Si to eat before he left.
Wang Si ate only dry food along the way. Sometimes, in order to save money, he only ate a few bites of cakes a day to satisfy his hunger. At this time, the saplings were delivered, and I was able to have a meal with soup. I didn't know how grateful I was. I didn't even go to the table. I squatted at the door of the kitchen and ate the whole meal. I went to the kitchen to fetch hot water for Mrs. Chen. Shuang Tao was stunned.
Wang Si saw a beautiful maid sizing him up, and his face burned for a moment, and he hurriedly explained: "I, I came here, and my boss only gave me two taels of silver. I have to save some money, and I don't have to pay for it." I know whether the boss here will keep me."
If the sapling cannot survive, what will the owner here do with him?
It is said that there is little land in the south of the Yangtze River, so most of them will study some books, or go out to do business, or work as apprentices in shops, and think of ways to become shopkeepers. Someone like him who is illiterate and only works hard will not only be looked down upon by others, but will also find it difficult to find work.
Shuangtao was a little unhappy when he saw that he missed the Yu family so much, and defended the Yu family: "Our boss is not that kind of person. If you are not willing to stay, our boss will definitely not miss you in the travel expenses back home. ."
Wang Si looked dull and dull, but in fact he was a lively thinker, otherwise he wouldn't have taken this job. Seeing Shuangtao say this, he immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly said: "I know my boss is a good person, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to satisfy my boss."
Quite a talker.
Shuangtao nodded with satisfaction and said: "Just do your job well, our boss will never treat people badly!"
Wang Si seemed to smile gratefully, but he thought in his heart that it would take him a while to know whether he was being treated unfairly or not. However, the fact that the maid of this family can speak for her boss like this shows that no matter how bad this family is, it depends on whether he can stand up.
He didn't dare to delay, so he and A Tiao rushed to the Yu family's old house after eating.
Yu Tang sent away the saplings, took his father's arm and walked back: "How is the business in Suzhou?"
Yu Wen's eyebrows were full of joy: "I have agreed with you, Wu Shibo, that we will set off early tomorrow morning." At this point, he said "oh" and said, "Why did I forget about this just now? I'm going to Suzhou tomorrow. Mansion, over there at the old house..."
It's just planting a tree, it doesn't necessarily have to be watched by her father.
Yu Tang said with a smile: "Brother, are you going to Suzhou Mansion with you? Your affairs here are more important. I can go back alone tomorrow. After planting the tree, I will talk to that **** and take a look. What about others, if they stay, we should see what else they can do?"
They have hired a forest guard before. If both of them can do the same thing, based on their income from the forest, they will only be able to keep one.
Yu Wen thought about Wang Si's strong body and said, "I think if we don't need two people over there in the mountains and forests, just let Wang Si come to our house to do some chores. I heard that life in the west is not easy. , he came all the way here, if he can keep people, he can keep them, and the family will not be short of food. As time goes by, he might be able to find another job in Lin'an City, and we can be considered You did a good thing."
Yu Tang knew it would be like this.
Her father and mother are both very kind-hearted.
However, their family made a fortune selling maps, so it would be a good thing if they could help others.
"I know." Yu Tang responded with a smile.
Yu Wen was very pleased with his daughter's performance and said: "Your brother will also go to Suzhou with us tomorrow. A Tiao will stay at home. If you have anything to do, just instruct him."
If Wang Si stayed, wherever his father was going, there would be someone in the family who could run errands and carry things.
Yu Tang nodded repeatedly, thinking that as long as Wang Si was honest and willing to work, she would just keep him.
The next day, after seeing Yu Wen and Yu Yuan away, she returned to her old house.
Wang Si had already planted the tree overnight, and stayed with the forest guard hired by the Yu family at night. However, the look on the forest guard's face was not so good, which showed that Wang Si's arrival still made him feel the crisis.
Yu Tang didn't like intrigues, so she said bluntly to the forest guard: "I asked Wang Si to come here specially to plant this sea buckthorn tree. You are responsible for other matters on the mountain. You must also find a way to help Wang Si. This tree species is alive. Otherwise, there is no need to hire someone to guard this forest."
The forest guard had not thought of the connection before, but now that he heard what Yu Tang said, he immediately changed his mind and assured Yu Tang: "I will help Wang Si plant this tree alive."
If sea-buckthorn trees can survive, this mountain forest must slowly be replaced by sea-buckthorn trees. This mountain forest covers forty to fifty acres, so they won't be able to have any leisure time in the next three to five years. When the sea buckthorn trees bear fruit, the Yu family will have to harvest the fruit, which will give them something to do. The two of them must be busy, and they may need to hire someone. But if the tree doesn't survive, he and Wang Si will have nothing to do.
Seeing that he had figured it out, Yu Tang said no more. I also asked Wang Si about the four kinds of trees. Wang Si could answer everything, which sounded quite reasonable. Moreover, according to Wang Si, he could also plant crops and fruit trees. It’s just that barley and wheat are grown over there, but there is still a lot of rice grown here in Lin’an. Yu Tang feels that as long as you know clearly what rice is and what wheat is, if you have the will, you should be able to learn how to grow anything.
She simply said to Wang Si: "Have you seen the large paddy field over there? That belongs to our Yu family too. If you have nothing to do in the mountains, just take a look at the fields over there. You can follow them and learn how to plant paddy fields. ."
Wang Si agreed respectfully.
Yu Tang went to talk to his fifth uncle again.
Be it the Yu family's ancestral home or the affairs on the farm, the fifth uncle just helped to look after it and did not take care of it. Whether Wang Si learned how to cultivate paddy fields did not have much to do with him. But when other people in the village asked, he would help answer the question and tell them that it was the Yu family's intention. There was nothing he wouldn't agree to.
Yu Tang told Wang Si: "My fifth uncle lives alone. Come and visit more often when you have nothing to do. Help pick up firewood and carry water. If anything happens to you in the village in the future, you can also help me." There is someone to help."
Wang Si was very surprised. He did not expect Yu Tang to be so kind to others, and what he told him was also the foundation of his life. He thanked her repeatedly and looked forward to settling down in the Yu family.
Yu Tang rushed home that day.
Wang didn’t know when she came, and she and Chen were busy in the warehouse.
Yu Tang was covered in sweat and asked Mrs. Chen when she was washing up: "What are mom and aunt doing? It's such a hot day."
The warehouse I'm talking about is actually a small room behind Chen's inner room. It doesn't even have a window. This kind of weather can cause people to suffer from heatstroke.
Mrs. Chen grinned and said, "I don't know either. You can ask my wife when she comes out later."
Yu Tang thought she was making a fool of herself, so she didn't ask any questions. She changed her clothes again and drank two bowls of mung bean soup. She felt refreshed, and then went to say hello to her aunt.
The eldest aunt had already come out of the warehouse with Mrs. Chen, and was standing under the eaves talking. When she saw Yu Tang coming over, she smiled and took the initiative to say hello to Yu Tang, and even asked about the mountains and forests.
While answering the aunt's words, Yu Tang curiously looked at the bundle in the eldest aunt's arms.
Ms. Chen explained: "Your aunt came to our house to look for some fabrics."
What fabrics do you want to borrow from them?
Yu Tang wanted to ask, but the eldest aunt was already leaving.
She didn't want to ask too many questions, so she accompanied Mrs. Chen to see her eldest aunt off, and then she said, "Mom, what kind of fabric does eldest aunt want?"
Mr. Chen said vaguely: "Nothing, just a few feet of fine cloth."
At this time of year, wearing a medium coat made of fine cloth is both washable and cool.
Is it the eldest aunt who wants to make a middle coat?
Yu Tang didn't ask any more questions. He talked to his mother about his father's departure and put this episode behind him.
Yu Wen and Yu Yuan came back five days later.
The two of them were beaming with joy, which showed that things were going smoothly.
Because of this incident, Mr. Wu’s family got closer to his family. During the Ghost Festival, Mrs. Wu even came to invite Chen and Yu Tang to put out river lanterns together, and even tried her best to arrange a better marriage for Yu Tang. But as Yu Wen had expected before, anyone who was willing to be a door-to-door son-in-law for someone else's family either had some shortcomings or was not good-looking. Mrs. Chen even went to see him twice in person, but it didn't work out.
Fortunately, Yu Tang was not in a hurry, which made Chen feel less impatient.
After eating Zhang Qing's full moon wine and Yu Tang giving Pei Yan peanuts, the sweet-scented osmanthus blossomed and every household began to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Yu Tang discussed with Mrs. Chen to send some mooncakes to the Pei family: "In addition to puff pastry mooncakes, can you make other mooncakes?"
In her previous life, she had eaten mooncakes at the Li family that were said to have come from the capital ~IndoMTL.com~. The skin was like a pancake and the inside was filled with nuts.
I wonder if her mother can do it?
Mr. Chen smiled and said: "What kind of mooncakes are there without puff pastry? Are there any mooncakes that are not puff pastry?"
Yu Tang was at a loss for what to say, and was wondering whether to go to Hangzhou to buy some Beijing-style mooncakes and let her mother try them, and then try making them.
Just as I was thinking about it, Yu Yuan came to deliver mooncakes. It is said that someone from the Xiang family brought it from Fuyang, and one of the Mid-Autumn Festival gifts for the Yu family was given to Yu Wen.
When Yu Tang opened it, he really got what he expected. It was actually a box of Guangzhou mooncakes.
Guangzhou mooncakes are similar to those in Beijing. They are made of dough, but the difference lies in the fillings. The mooncakes in Guangzhou like to be filled with lotus seeds and egg yolks.
She said to Chen: "Look, aren't there mooncakes that are not puff pastry?"
Ms. Chen disagreed and said: "How can a mooncake be called a mooncake if it's not puff pastry? To eat mooncakes, you have to eat puff pastry!"
