The fake daughter married into the mountains and had meat to eat every day during the famine

Song Yuntang looked at her with a sincere expression.

"Auntie should have inquired about the dispute between me and the Song and Lin families. Although I haven't completely severed ties with the Song family, I don't want to be too involved. After I settle down in the town, I will move my household registration out separately."

After moving out on her own, in order to avoid gossip, she would definitely have occasional contact with the Song family, but it was also equivalent to setting up her own business.

From now on, she can make her own decisions about her own affairs, and the Song family has no right to interfere.

Jiang nodded after hearing this and said, "I understand. I'll pack up the things and ask your uncle and the matchmaker to send them to town."

She sent Song Yuntang to the entrance of Lushan Village and only returned after watching the ox cart disappear at the entrance.

Song Yuntang moved from the middle of the ox cart to sit next to Xu Qingye.

"I originally thought I'd get the medicine and send it to Lushan Village to save you from having to make another trip, but I didn't expect you'd have to send me back in the end."

Xu Qingye glanced at her sideways and said, "I will go to town from time to time in the future. If you have anything that needs my help, just wait for me in town. It's too dangerous for a girl to run around outside. It would be troublesome if she ran into someone like Huang Heyu."

Song Yuntang nodded, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Brother Xu, your family was here just now, so there are some things I can't say."

"What?"

Song Yuntang looked at him and said, "Take grandma to town when you have time. She doesn't seem to be in good condition."

After all, it was her first time here and she was not familiar with the Xu family. It was inappropriate to rashly take the old man's pulse in that situation, and it seemed like she was showing off.

Xu Qingye paused and nodded.

"it is good."

When we arrived at Cile Town, it was already the end of the afternoon.

Xu Qingye sent Song Yuntang to his doorstep, drank just a glass of water and then turned back.

After putting the basket of eggs in a cool place, Song Yuntang locked the gate again and went to Heyang Street, the intersection of North and South Streets, to see the progress of the shop's wall painting and renovation.

"Miss Song, the shop walls have been painted, and the doors and windows have been repainted. We can bring our things in once they're dry."

Song Yuntang glanced around the shop and nodded, "Thank you for your hard work today. Let's go to my house for dinner. I have something else to tell you."

Mu Dong nodded.

"Row."

Mu Qiu has been running around outside with Song Yuntang these past two days. Perhaps influenced by her, or perhaps because he has something to do, he looks a lot more confident.

After locking the shop, Song Yuntang made a special detour to Baicaotang. Because the demand for medicinal materials for shampoo was small in the early stage, even if it was wholesale, it would probably not be much cheaper than in the shop. So she negotiated the price of the medicinal materials with Manager Li and planned to purchase the first batch of medicinal materials from him.

Manager Li was happy to help out and make a few cents.

Based on the proportion of the herbs, Song Yuntang ordered the amount of herbs needed for 500 cans of shampoo, paid a deposit of 300 wen, and then led the brother and sister back home.

Although Mu Qiu doesn't talk much, he is quite smart. As soon as he got home, he started helping Song Yuntang cook. Mu Dong was not idle either. He helped Song Yuntang fill the water tank at home before sitting down to rest.

Dinner was brown rice porridge with glutinous rice and three fried eggs, one in each person's bowl.

After the meal, Song Yuntang took out a hundred coins from his purse and gave them to the brother and sister.

"This is your payment for helping me over the past two days." She looked at the two of them and said, "Don't be so quick to refuse. When my shop opens, I will definitely need your help. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to ask you to come back in the future."

The two looked at each other and accepted the hundred coins given by Song Yuntang.

"Thank you, Miss Song."

Song Yuntang put away his purse and looked at Mu Dong. "Mu Dong, my second brother will come to build shelves for me tomorrow. Come and help him. We will try to finish the shelves within two days."

Mu Dong nodded, "Okay."

Then he looked at Mu Qiu and said, "Tomorrow I will visit several households on North Street and see some ladies. Mu Qiu, please keep me company."

When she came out of Baicaotang just now, Manager Li had already drawn up a list and gave it to her. She only needed to visit each house one by one tomorrow.

Mu Qiu also nodded, "No problem."

Song Yuntang looked at the two of them and said again, "Although the business in the shop hasn't started yet, I don't want you to work for me in vain. Starting tomorrow, I will pay you 600 wen a month. After the business in the shop stabilizes, I will increase it according to your ability. If you agree, you can work with me from now on."

Mu Dong waved his hand.

"We'd be happy even if it was only 600 wen a month. Without Miss Song, we wouldn't even be able to earn 300 wen a month."

What's more, Miss Song is their benefactor.

Although Mu Qiu didn't say anything, judging from her expression, she obviously agreed with what her brother said.

Song Yuntang looked at the two of them and smiled faintly, "How can that be? Since I've hired you, it's necessary to pay you a salary commensurate with your work."

After that, he gave them a few more instructions and let them go home.

After closing the gate, Song Yuntang took a comfortable shower. After washing his dirty clothes and hanging them up to dry, he lay on the bed and felt relaxed throughout his body.

This little body must be really tired after a whole day of work.

After a while, he fell asleep in a daze.

……

The next day, Song Jinsheng came very early, and with him came Uncle Sun and his ox cart.

When he arrived, Mu Dong and Mu Qiu had already arrived.

"Tang'er, I've talked to Brother Mazi about helping you for a few days. After I'm done here, I'll go back to work in his yard."

Song Jinsheng said as he and Mu Dong unloaded the wood from the ox cart.

"Are the bamboo jars being made?" Song Yuntang asked.

Song Jinsheng raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his head.

"I've definitely taken your instructions to heart. I hired someone to make the bamboo jars in Brother Mazi's yard yesterday. There are four cousins ​​from my uncle's family, as well as Qiao Da and Qiao Er. Brother Mazi divided the work among them, with each person responsible for a specific step. They're much faster than I could make them alone. They made over eighty of them in most of the day yesterday, and I estimate we can make a hundred and twenty today."

After a pause, he continued, "Brother Mazi calculated it for you yesterday. If you calculate the labor and materials based on 30 wen a day, the cost of each piece is less than 3 wen, which is much more cost-effective than charging 5 wen each."

Song Yuntang nodded, "Then let's do as Brother Mazi said."

Now is the time to control costs, so naturally we should do whatever is most cost-effective.

Watching the two men carry the wood into the yard, Song Yuntang said hello to them and went to North Street with the medicine box on his back.

Since she got the medicine box, she also added some necessary things into it, including silver needles, fire starters, cotton cloth, bamboo pots, charcoal pencils and paper.

Time is too short, so when I have time, I have to prepare some homemade common medicines.

In addition, you have to go to the blacksmith shop to customize a scalpel, which is more convenient to use to treat external injuries than a dagger.
