Chapter 33. Finding someone to repair the house
After buying the silver carbon, Baihu Yaoyao went to the vegetable market again.
There is still a market in Taoyuan Town, but in the middle of winter, there are not many people selling things.
Even though she was mentally prepared, seeing the bleak market situation still gave her a headache.
In this market, the only vegetables sold are cabbage, radishes and potatoes, and they are all wrinkled and wilted.
Then there were a few people selling chickens and eggs.
The butcher just needs to wait for her to come back and buy pork from Aunt Wang's son.
"You, you! All of you, please deliver the food to my house!"
Baihu Yaoyao pointed at a few people and simply bought up everything in the market.
There weren't many of these things to begin with, and she bought these dishes because she was thinking of reopening a restaurant.
There has to be a business that makes money, right?
The only job she can do, besides being a mercenary and doing some tasks, is cooking!
From a leftover woman in her twenties, she suddenly shrank into a fifteen-year-old kid. Although she couldn't do other things, she still knew how to cook.
She couldn't expect anyone to send her ginseng, right?
I guess I will only meet this kind of sucker who uses ginseng as food money once in my life.
Who made her always have bad luck?
Yaoyao the White Fox now had no idea that there would be many more treasures given to her in the future!
"Okay! We'll take you home right away!"
The vegetable sellers didn't expect these things to be sold out so quickly.
I followed Baihu Yaoyao to the backyard of the restaurant and paid the bill one by one.
"If you have any fresh vegetables at home, you can send them to me. Chicken, duck, fish and meat are all fine."
She will open a restaurant in the future and will need these things. It saves her trouble to have someone deliver them to her doorstep.
"Okay, okay! We'll definitely deliver the food once we have it."
"Young boss, please stay! We're leaving first!"
Everyone took the money and left with a smile.
Yaoyao the white fox arrived at the cellar where the vegetables were stored, but the vegetables didn't even fill up a corner.
I counted the eggs and there were two hundred in total, enough to last for a few days.
If you want to open a restaurant, you have to decorate the restaurant first and find someone to do the decoration.
When I arrived at the door, I saw that Aunt Wang’s son had already started selling meat.
"Brother Dazhu, don't you want these pig offal?"
The pig offal was thrown into a bamboo basket and had frozen into a lump, it was very hard!
Wang Dazhu chuckled, "This thing stinks, no one wants it. I'll bury it in the back mountain after I sell the pork."
This is how they deal with the pig offal when they butcher the pigs.
"No! If Dazhu doesn't want it, leave it to me!"
This thing tastes delicious when it's done.
Wang Dazhu cut a piece of meat for her, "You little girl! If you want to eat meat, I'll cut some for you. Why eat that stuff? It's so smelly."
Baihu Yaoyao smiled, took out some silver and handed it to him, "Brother Dazhu, this thing tastes really good! I'll give you some when I make it!"
Now that I have money, I won't give you credit. This little ounce of silver was lent to me by you. I'll give you an additional twenty copper coins, and I'll take all your pig offal with me."
Baihu Yaoyao gave him the money for buying meat and the one or two taels of silver he borrowed.
Wang Dazhu scratched his head embarrassedly, "Why are you so polite? I'll take the money, and I'll cut you a piece of meat!"
As he said this, he cut another piece of meat for her.
The white fox Yaoyao did not refuse, and went into the water with the meat and pork.
Seeing that it was almost noon, I took out two eggs and made an omelet.
Then I stewed a dish with cabbage and pork.
I cooked another pot of millet porridge.
There are only so many ingredients now, and I can’t make anything else. It’s good enough to be able to eat my fill.
After dinner, Baihu Yaoyao simply closed the door. The charcoal fire was burning in the house, making it warm.
Soak your feet in hot water to reduce the pain of chilblains on your feet.
She applied the frostbite ointment the old man gave her on her hands and feet, and crawled into the warm bed to sleep in.
She slept too late last night and now feels listless.
This small body is not durable!
I slept until mid-afternoon.
When I woke up, my hands and feet that had been applied with the ointment were actually healed.
"That old man's ointment is so effective."
My hands and feet are white and tender, but there is still redness and swelling there?
Put away the remaining ointment carefully, it’s good stuff!
The white fox Yaoyao then put on thick clothes and a cloak and prepared to go out.
At this time, heavy snow began to fall again, and it looked like it would not stop for a while.
The white fox Yaoyao found the home of an old man who specialized in decorating and building houses.
"Grandpa Gu, are you home?"
The Gu family's house was two alleys away from her restaurant, and she arrived there quickly.
Grandpa Gu’s ancestors all lived in Taoyuan Town. Because they were skilled in building and repairing houses, they lived a good life.
Grandpa Gu’s house has ten rooms, and his children and grandchildren all live together. He is considered a prestigious family in this town.
"Who is it?"
squeak!
The door opened and a thin old man walked out.
The white fox smiled and said, "Grandpa Gu, I came to you to repair the house."
She stated her purpose directly.
When the old man saw that it was the white fox Yaoyao, he smiled and let her in.
"It's Yaoyao! Come inside and warm up quickly. Why are you repairing the house in the middle of winter?"
The two of them went to the main room one after the other.
Bai Hu Yaoyao said, "You've seen the restaurant my father left me. It's no longer habitable. I came to you to ask for your help in repairing it."
The old man sipped his pipe and said, "Okay! When do you want to repair it? I can go buy the materials."
At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old man walked in. When she saw the white fox Yaoyao, her face looked very unhappy.
"Dad, it would cost a lot of money to repair her dilapidated restaurant! Does she have the money?"
Liu Cuihua just didn't want her father-in-law to repair it for her.
Everyone knows that after Baihu Yaoyao's father died, her mother remarried, leaving this little girl with troubles to feed herself, so how could she have the money to repair the house?
Do they want them to lend them money?
They will never borrow from you again!
Baihu Yaoyao was a little embarrassed. After her father died, her mother often borrowed money everywhere.
My mother borrowed a lot from Grandpa Gu, and the most important thing is that she never paid it back.
It's understandable that people don't treat her well.
"Aunt Cuihua, don't worry. I came here this time to repay your money and to ask Grandpa Gu and Uncle Gu to help repair the house."
As he said this, he took out fifty taels of silver from his purse.
"Grandpa Gu, my mother borrowed ten taels of silver from you. I will pay you back one part, and the rest will be used as a down payment for the house renovation. I will give you the rest after the house is built."
Grandpa Gu's family are all very kind-hearted. Liu Cuihua was not nice to her because of her mother.
It's a bit embarrassing to talk about this.
After my father died, my mother cried all day long. She was like a weak dodder, the kind of person who couldn't live without a man.
Seeing that her life was hopeless, the mother fell in love with Grandpa Gu's eldest son, Gucheng, and insisted on becoming his concubine.
Liu Cuihua was Gucheng's wife, so she definitely didn't agree. From then on, Liu Cuihua disliked them, mother and daughter.
If it were her, she would definitely not like a girl who was eager to be someone else's mistress.
It’s a good thing that Liu Cuihua didn’t kick her out immediately after seeing her today.
The white fox sighed, what a sin!
The old man looked at the silver with shock in his eyes, "Yaoyao, where did you get all this money? We must not do anything wrong."
The old man thought that the child had taken a wrong path.
