Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Chapter 280 Puxinnan

"Madam, the dishes have been washed. I'll go back and find someone for you." Mrs. Luo wiped her hands and walked up to the two of them.

"Okay, go ahead. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard. The meal you two ladies have had is the best meal we have ever had. I feel like I have so much strength left in me."

Mrs. Luo walked out with a simple smile on her face, and her happy mood could be seen from her back.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin felt a little sad.

Mrs. Wang also came out, but she didn't say anything. She smiled gratefully at the two of them and then squatted down to continue washing the roses.

This was her way of expressing her gratitude, and they both knew it.

Thinking that two more people would come in the afternoon, this pot would definitely not be enough, and they would probably have to buy some more vegetables. Zheng Yuan went out again, and Duan Minmin stayed at home.

When Zheng Yuan came back with his things, Mrs. Luo also came back with two women, and they met at the entrance of the alley.

Mrs. Luo hurried forward to take the things from Zheng Yuan's hand and introduced them to the other two women: "This is Mrs. Zheng, Madam, this is Mrs. Niu, and this is Mrs. Gao."

The two women were also very embarrassed. They shouted "Hello, Madam!" and then lowered their heads.

"Hello." Zheng Yuan smiled and nodded at the two of them.

When they returned to the courtyard, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin had not yet made arrangements, but Luo's wife had already taught them how to wash roses. Seeing how hard they worked, the two did not say anything more.

While Zheng Yuan was out, several more carts of roses were delivered, and the yard was almost piled up into a small mountain. They had to speed up the distillation.

After breakfast, the cooking pot can be put to use again. Using three pots together will be more efficient.

If this continues, the firewood in the yard won’t last much longer.

"Amin, didn't I ask Shunzi to find someone to sell firewood this morning? Now he has found the firewood." Zheng Yuan looked at Duan Minmin while gathering fire.

"Well, it's been settled. Ten cents per load. The man will go back and prepare to deliver it to us early tomorrow morning." Duan Minmin replied.

"One load? How much is that?" Zheng Yuan was confused.

"It's the kind of rack that you carry on your back, the kind that people in the village used to carry grass. Do you remember it?" Duan Minmin gestured to Zheng Yuan.

"Oh, now I remember, it's a huge pile, but it only costs ten cents?"

"Yes, I also think it's cheap, but Shunzi said that it's the same price, so I let the man give it to me."

Zheng Yuan nodded and sighed again that life was really difficult for people in this era.

Now that they no longer had to worry about firewood, the two began distillation with confidence.

I was stuck in the kitchen the whole afternoon and could only go out for some fresh air when the roses were delivered.

In just one afternoon, more than a dozen trucks were delivered from Rose Valley. Together with the ones delivered in the morning, the two estimated that there were about 7,000 to 8,000 kilograms.

The amount of pure dew was increasing, and the basin was about to be filled. If Aji didn't come tomorrow, this amount of pure dew would be wasted.

We were busy until sunset before dinner was ready. Just then the last truck arrived from Rose Valley, saying there was no more.

After collecting the last car, Zheng Yuan hurriedly invited everyone to come over for dinner.

After a busy day, everyone was hungry. After washing their hands, they sat down without any hesitation.

Since there were two more people for dinner, Zheng Yuan also made an extra stir-fried green beans and a red bean soup.

The bricklayer was so busy that he built the last stove until dinner time, so he naturally had dinner too.

However, what the bricklayer didn't say was that he could actually have finished the work an hour earlier, but the lunch was so delicious that he didn't want to leave early, so he dragged his feet and finished it until now.

The bricklayer, who had been feeling a little guilty and afraid that Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin would see through him, felt relieved when he saw that the two didn't care and just asked everyone to eat quickly.

The new arrivals, Mrs. Gao and Mrs. Niu, must have heard Mrs. Luo talk about what Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin said during lunch in the afternoon, so they were much more relaxed and not too shy compared to Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Wang in the morning.

After dinner, the bricklayer received his wages and left.

Originally, Mrs. Luo and the others could have gone back, but they insisted on cleaning up the dishes and washing the last cart of roses before going back.

Mr. Yuan wanted to check today's quantity with the two of them, so he stayed until the end.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were extremely tired, and they felt even more exhausted after eating. They wanted to rest for a while, but Mr. Yuan insisted on doing it one pair a day, so they could only force themselves to stay alert and accompany him to check the accounts.

Well, if you do the accounting every day, it will be more convenient in the end.

Mr. Yuan took out his abacus and started clacking away at it. He felt quite superior in his heart. After all, accountants were still quite respected in that era.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin also took the document in their hands and started counting on the ground. There were more than a dozen vehicles, and they were afraid of missing something if they used mental calculations.

The two started calculating at the same time, and finished at the same time after a while. When they found that there was no problem with the answer, they stood up and sat back on the stools to wait for Mr. Yuan's result.

After a while, the sound of Mr. Yuan's abacus stopped.

Seeing the two people sitting at the table bored, Mr. Yuan's sense of superiority came back.

"Madams, I have already done all the statistics. I wonder if you have figured out the results?" Mr. Yuan said this with a malicious smile.

If they can't figure out what Mr. Yuan means, all these years have been wasted.

This shows that he looks down on the two of them and wants to give them a warning.

Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin looked at each other and rolled their eyes tacitly, neither of them trying to avoid Mr. Yuan.

Bah! Put down your bowl and curse. Why didn't I see you being so arrogant when we were eating our meal?

He is worthy of being Mr. Liu's man, his character is exactly the same as his.

In that case, don't blame us for hurting your trustworthy and fragile man's heart.

Duan Minmin curled her lips and said, "Today, a total of 23 trucks were transported, with a total of 9,223 kilograms. Mr. Yuan, how is it? Is there any problem?"

what?

Mr. Yuan's eyes widened.

Just now, he had only seen two people squatting on the ground and gesturing a few times. How was it possible? How could they get the answer so quickly?

Seeing his constipated expression, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin could hardly hold back their laughter. Serves you right! Don't you even look at who is sitting opposite you? Do you think your nine years of compulsory education were for nothing?

"What's wrong? Mr. Yuan. Is there any problem?" Zheng Yuan asked deliberately.

"No, no, no problem." Mr. Yuan finally came to his senses. "Yes, that's the number. It's getting late, so I won't bother you two ladies anymore. I'll take my leave now."

Mr. Yuan packed his things in a panic and left in a hurry without waiting for the two men to say anything.

Mr. Yuan also realized from the expressions of the two ladies that the two ladies had already known his thoughts, so how could he still have the dignity to stay?

After watching Mr. Yuan's embarrassed back walking away and closing the door, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin finally laughed.

This is how we should deal with these ordinary men.

If Mr. Yuan hadn't run fast, they would have mocked him a few more times.

After laughing enough, the two began to boil water for washing, but they were destined not to sleep together in Laohepo tonight.

The distillation could not be stopped, otherwise it would not be finished in ten days. So one of them had to watch the first half of the night and the other the second half.

Finally, the two decided that Zheng Yuan would guard the first half of the night, and Duan Minmin would guard the second half. If they felt sleepy the next day, they would let Mrs. Luo and the others watch over them while they went back to sleep.
