Chapter 371: open a shop
Every day when he returned to the county office, Yu Zhi asked He Xiaodie to write a summary of what he had seen and heard that day. Why didn't he write it himself? Isn't she lazy? Someone has already done it for her, so why not use her to do it?
Yu Zhi only takes He Xiaodie with her when she goes out every day. The pomegranates around her are so busy that she can't wait to **** them even for sweeping the yard.
"Young madam, why don't the servants go out to help?" The young madam is not at home all day, and they are not allowed to follow, they are really busy.
"Yes, Young Madam, the servants can't do anything else, it's okay to help cook a meal." Cherry pointed to the next door, a hundred people wanted to eat, and only a dozen of them had to cook.
"That's right, young lady, it's not a problem for slaves to be idle like this!" Yang Tao also worried, as a slave, but without work, she felt uneasy thinking about it.
Even Jiang's mother followed, "Young madam, why don't I sell sauce cakes?" She kept listening to young madam muttering, how much money the third master spent, and she sold sauce cakes, which was somewhat profitable .
Yu Zhi...
One by one, there are still people who are looking for work, isn't this too motivated? Isn't it nice to lie down? Tired of fishing at work?
This makes the waves go out every day, and when the waves are tired, I find a place to rest, eating and drinking while the breeze is blowing, I feel a little bit guilty. But everyone has his own ambitions, right? She can't stop the employees under her hand from making progress, can she?
Arrangement, everything is arranged.
"There are a lot of idle labor in Shanyun County, so don't go grab people's jobs." There are rough guys on the construction site, and these young girls who are as beautiful as flowers are released, and it's okay for a day or two. After a long time, something happens. what to do?
"How about this, you guys should open a flower shop." It's better to be familiar with it, and several maids have experience.
"Young Madam, can you sell it?" Cherry wondered, this place is too poor, the people can't get enough to eat, flowers are not suitable for eating or wearing, who is willing to sell them?
"Yes!" Yu Zhi was not quite sure, "Aren't there people living well in the city? The Zhang family, the Yan family, the Ma family, and the Song family are all local rich. I ran into the Yan family a few days ago. A girl bought a pair of vases for one hundred and twenty taels without blinking."
What about a vase, can you arrange flowers? Anyway, Yu Zhi was reluctant to spend so much money on it, she could buy a pair for twenty or thirty cash. Forgive her for being such a tasteless person!
"I'm afraid you won't be able to sell it, can't you think more about it? For example, what flowers to give to the elderly at home, what flowers to give to relatives and friends who are recovering from illness, what flowers to give to the fiancee of young people, single or a bunch, you all have to think about it carefully." Thinking about it, are you worried that no one will come to buy it?" Yu Zhi pointed out.
"Yes, let's say it's popular in the capital, and someone will definitely buy it." Pomegranate's eyes lit up.
"Hey, smart!" Yu Zhi cast an approving look at Pomegranate, "The temperature here is high all year round, so there is no need to build a flower shed, so you can make up your mind, find a shop, find a place to grow flowers. Oh, Before the flowers come out, you can also go to the wild to find wild flowers, make some rouge powder and sell it first. There is also our family's hemostatic powder, which can be sold together." She actively helped with ideas.
"That's right, why didn't you think of it?" Mangosteen patted his head annoyedly, "The rouge made by my servant in Beijing last time has a lot of people who like it. Young Madam, this servant will go pick flowers tomorrow morning." As happy as anything.
"Yes, yes, let's go together." The other women agreed.
Seeing their happy faces, Yu Zhi couldn't bear to pour cold water on them, but he still reminded: "There are many mountains and forests here, it doesn't matter if you go, but you must take good precautions, find locals to guide you, and have escorts to accompany you. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to go." go out."
Who knows what's in the mountains? A few girls went into the mountains and forests, what a heart!
The girls looked at each other, and said one after another: "Don't worry, Young Madam, this servant knows the severity."
Yu Zhi nodded, "It's good for you to know." After a pause, he looked at Mama Jiang, "Mama Jiang shouldn't make soy sauce pancakes. The staple food here is rice, and they might not be used to them. Help me open a flower shop."
Time passed and it was time for the recruitment examination. As soon as it was dawn, someone got up in the quarry. It was a long journey from here to the county government office. If you got up late, it would be bad if you missed the exam time.
Yes, many people in the quarry have signed up, and there are both civil and military tests. Although they are inferior to the good people in terms of status, the county magistrate said that as long as they have real talents and learning, they are better than other candidates, and they can be hired exceptionally.
Such a great opportunity, who wouldn't want to give it a try?
The examination refers to the county examination, roll call, body search, and identity check. After correctness, you will be seated according to the admission ticket issued during registration. It's just that you don't need to bring your own pen and ink, the county government provides them uniformly. There is only one exam, two hours, and it will be over at noon, and those who live in the city will not delay going home for lunch.
Wen Jiuxiao presided over it himself. After saying a few words of encouragement, he changed the subject and said: "This may be an opportunity to change your fate. I hope everyone can seize this opportunity. Remember, stay calm. The exam papers have a variety of topics, and they cover a lot. You must Write down every question you know. Because this official selects the subordinate officials who can be competent for the various public houses of the county government."
As soon as the gong struck, the exam began.
While queuing outside, Song Lixian, wearing brand new clothes, was full of confidence. Looking around, there are countrymen in bunts who come to take the exam, which is ridiculous! Do you think you can hit the big luck if you know a few words?
What's even more ridiculous is that he actually saw his eldest brother, and he also signed up? It's really tight. The elder brother is unwilling to be overwhelmed by his younger brother. Even if he signs up, can he pass him in the exam?
When he got the test paper, Song Lixian was dumbfounded. The first two papers were normal, and the test was about Four Books and Five Classics and poetry. But what the **** is behind it? What is the population of Shanyun County? How many villages did you rule? Also asked to write the name of the village.
How does he, a scholar, know?
He also asked what local specialties were there. Song Lixian was either studying or socializing with friends all day long. Where did he pay attention to any special products?
The most outrageous thing is actually a math problem. It is said that there are 20 liters of oil in the kitchen of the county government, and the oil consumption in the first three days is three liters, and the oil consumption in the next five days is double that of the first three days. How much oil is left?
He is not the manager of the big kitchen, how does he know how much oil is left?
It's over, except for the first two, Song Lixian doesn't know any other topics. He felt flustered and dizzy, and his hand holding the pen was shaking. At home, he swore to his father that he would pass. If this... Song Lixian panicked even more, he couldn't read the words on the test paper clearly, and in the end he didn't even know what he wrote on the first two papers.
He is not the only one like Song Lixian in the examination room, but even if other people find that many questions are not good, they will not panic like him. Because I am not very knowledgeable, I came here with the mentality of giving it a try. It's good to hit, but it's okay not to hit. The county magistrate said, honestly write what you know, and if you don’t, make it up. If it is actually made up, it has to be left blank.
Of course there are also happy people, like that middle-aged man in shorts and patches, the field is infested with insects, how to deal with it? He can answer this question! When there is a sudden heavy rain during harvest, how can we ensure that the grain will not fail? He can do this too! He knew several questions in a row, so he quickly wrote them down.
