"That's great! With this tool, it will be much easier for us to go to the sea to find clams in the future. We will definitely find more clams in the future."
Although Hua'er is not good at speaking, she knows that this is a good thing, and learns how to use it without saying a word.
After everyone learned how to do it, the four of them split up and looked for clams on the beach, then ran to the seaside to wash them, and finally, poured the clams into their backpacks.
The afternoon passed quickly, and everyone's harvest was gratifying. Everyone's backpack was full, with no gaps at all.
After all, this was their first day at the beach, and Yun Ruoxi didn't want to push them too hard, so she decided to be more casual.
The four of them walked towards the Xiao family together. When Zhao saw them coming back, she hurried forward to help and helped them take down the backpacks.
"You guys spent the whole day just to pick up this stone?"
Mu Ruxue explained, "Mom, these aren't rocks. They're called clams, or flower clams. They're delicious when fried. We can fry them tonight and have them as a side dish. But the flower clams this time won't do. The four of us have agreed to eat together, and we'll prepare some for everyone when we find more."
Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, we won't take care of your affairs, you can just take care of it yourself. But you must not go to dangerous places. After all, this is the sea. Even the most powerful martial artist cannot avoid being swept away by the waves."
You two know that the Zhao family is very skilled in martial arts, and you say these things because you are worried about them.
Yun Ruoxi: "Okay, mother, we will remember this. We will definitely not go to any dangerous places."
After hearing the assurances from her two daughters-in-law, Zhao finally felt relieved. "Then how are you going to get these things? I'll help you."
Mu Ruxue said hurriedly, "Mom, you don't have to worry about it. There are so many of us here. We can do whatever we want. Just tell us where to find a wooden basin."
Zhao: "There are two clean wooden basins in the kitchen. I'll get them for you."
Mu Ruxue hurriedly followed. After Zhao came out, Yun Ruoxi was already in the well and had drawn water.
Hua'er and Xiang'er watched from the side, trying hard to learn how to process these ingredients.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue put the clams in a clean wooden basin, then poured in clean water and let the clams spit out the sand.
Yun Ruoxi: "Alright, this clams, soil and sand will take at least two hours to cook. We won't be able to eat it tonight, but if we soak it like this, it will last for two or three days without any problem."
Mu Ruxue: "Then let's start looking for more clams tomorrow, so we can make more dishes and look for other seafood."
Seeing that Hua'er and Xiang'er were exhausted after a whole day's work, Yun Ruoxi counted out ten copper coins from her purse and gave five copper coins to each of them.
Huaer and Xianger took the copper coins and went home happily.
It was not until dinner time that Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan returned, along with their two brothers from the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion.
Yun Ruoxi hurried out to greet them, but all she saw were three carriages.
The two best friends didn't know that Xiao Jingrui and Xiao Jingxuan were going to buy slaves for their family. For a moment, they asked curiously, "Why do you need so many carriages when you come back?"
Yun Ruoyang turned around and took a look, then explained, "These are the slaves my brother-in-law asked us to buy for our family. There are four slaves in total, including a maid and four servants, eight people in total. This is the indenture."
After he finished speaking, he took out a small box. Yun Ruoxi opened it and saw that it contained the indentures of eight people.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue only then realized that they had to hire more servants for the family. But when they thought about it, their grandmother was old and needed someone to take care of her.
Zhao had to take care of her grandmother and cook for everyone by herself, which was really too busy. Her two best friends often had to go out to do other things, and someone needed to do the housework at home.
Yun Ruoxi: "Okay, since you've bought a maid and a servant, come in and talk first."
Fortunately, there are still several empty rooms in their thatched hut. Although there are a few more people, there are still empty wing rooms and storerooms. When the room is renovated, all of them will be women, living in one room, and four people can make do for now.
After the new house is built, the servants can also share a room with two people, which is just right.
Xiao Jingrui looked at Yun Ruoxi and felt that something was different. After taking a closer look, he found that it was the clothes she was wearing.
In order to make it easier to go to the beach to catch seafood, Yun Ruoxi made some slight changes to her clothes, so that they looked different from the clothes that everyone usually wore.
Xiao Jingrui stepped forward, lowered his head, and asked softly, "It seems that Madam has had a very rich day today. Did she go to the beach?"
Yun Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaoxue and I are going to the beach today. Huaer and Xianger are here to lead us. You don't have to worry."
Everyone knows that Hua'er is the village chief's granddaughter, but no one knows who Xiang'er is.
Xiao Jingrui: "Xiang'er is?"
Yun Ruoxi explained, "She's also the village chief's granddaughter, but she's probably the eldest son's, the one we went to that day. The one the village chief brought to our house must be the second son."
Xiao Jingrui has met many people from Taohua Village in the past two days. He can match some of their names, but he still can't match some uncommon ones.
But there is no need to rush about this matter. We will still be living in Taohua Village for a long time, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know each other slowly.
Xiao Jingrui: "Okay, then be careful when you go out every day. As long as there is no danger, no matter what you do, we support you."
Yun Ruoxi nodded happily, "Okay, then let's go inside and talk about it."
Although it is a mud house, there are quite a few rooms in the house, enough to accommodate a few more maids.
Only after the maids and old women got off the carriage did Yun Ruoxi see that there were so many people.
Xiao Jingrui explained, "There's a lot of chores to do at home these days, so I'm looking for four maids. One will cook, one will clean the backyard, and the remaining two will do laundry and make clothes for the family. When they're free, they can help Grandma with odd jobs. As for the remaining four maids, my plan is to give one to each of you four female relatives. That way, if you want to do something, there will be someone to help."
After Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue came to this dynasty, they only enjoyed a few days of being served by maids at the beginning.
But they had been on the road of exile for so long that they had long forgotten what it felt like to have maids serving them.
Yun Ruoxi: "Okay, you can arrange it. These are all small matters, but there are a lot of live chickens at home, so they do need maids and old women to take care of them."
After everyone went in, it was my grandmother who assigned the servants.
