Before dawn, Baan Jijiu lit a lantern and finished eating. She instructed Uncle Yu to take good care of the house and herself. They would hurry back if they heard Uncle Ai or Uncle Ai slowly open the door. If people aren't familiar with it, don't open it. Ah Yu promised and sent them out of the house.
Aunt Qiao was pushing a cart with a basket on her back. Ji Jiu was also carrying a basket in case the things she bought today weren't enough. She had to save just one thing and not miss it. Today, Ji Jiu brought 20 taels of silver. She plans to buy 2 sacks of rice, 10 jin each. The rice she bought last time was of very good quality, so she thought about buying it again.
Upon reaching the district Ji Jiu invites Aunt Qiao to go to the grocery store before going to buy some groceries. So Auntie Qiao followed her to the shop. Ji Jiu told the boss that she wanted 20 jin of good quality white rice, and she had Aunt Qiao go buy more seasonings. Today, the price of rice is 20 jin each. The boss said that right now the army is buying rice. The price of goods increased a lot. Ji Jiu already knew that there was going to be a big war, so she nodded her head in understanding and secretly thought that next time she would ask the elder uncle to come help with the transport. She would buy it for 100 jin.
Aunt Qiao chose a large amount of condiments this time. She also received a jar of condiments because the amount she bought was too large to wrap. Aunt Qiao finally managed to smile. Her little boss would not have to buy additional jars of condiments and waste money again. Ji Jiu asks the boss to calculate the total price. She only paid 2 Only gourd Really worth it with lots of condiments and two sacks of rice.
They left the grocery store and hurried to the fresh market. Now the little shopping cart was almost full, so they could only buy fresh groceries and put them in the basket on their backs. Whichever one is very heavy, we put it on top of the cart and help each other lift it. Ji Jiula really missed the old man's cart. She wanted it but couldn't drive it so she just endured it.
Aunt Qiao bought a lot of pork. Including chicken and vegetables. She said that there should be enough for another meal tomorrow so that she doesn't have to come so often. Ji Jiu doesn't mind. She also didn't want to wake up so early. For all the fresh food, Ji Jiu paid another 3 taels and 350 yep. It was good that the merchant helped her find a place to support it so that the fresh food would not be crushed against rice sacks and condiment jars, causing damage to the food. They were able to carry their things back together with ease.
The two of them helped push a cart with a basket tied to the top. Luckily, Ji Jiu's little cart was still able to support the weight. Otherwise, they will surely die. By the time I got home it was already late. As soon as they entered the house, they found the four aunts waiting with Uncle Yu. They saw the two women pushing the cart overflowing with things so they immediately came to help.
Ji Jiu was then sent out to rest by her aunts. They would finish cooking before noon. As for the stoves and pots, Ji Jiu and Aunt Qiao really couldn't bring them. Good thing Aunt He knew that Ji's house He didn't have any jewelry, so he brought things from her house to help. This caused Ji Jiu to breathe a sigh of relief. Having adults help you is just as good.
Ji Jiu entered the accounting room again. Today, she took 20 taels and came back with 14 taels, 708 I Pae. So now she has 91 taels left, 708 I Pae. Ji Jiu takes 100 baht. E Pae came out to give it to the elder uncle who she owed money to.
Ji Jiu came out of the room and saw the aunts busy. She saw Uncle Elder and Uncle Ai bringing people to carry a lot of bamboo and place them in the courtyard. So she went to say hello and send money to the elder uncle before forgetting.
It's almost noon now. Ji Jiu then told the two uncles to let the workers rest and wait to eat before going up in the afternoon. Uncle Ai and Uncle Phuyai then told everyone to spread the news. With so many people helping, the work was very fast. Uncle Ai said that in an hour after lunch break they should have brought all the wood needed to build the fence. Then, Uncle will have people start removing Ji Jiu's original fence first. But Ji Jiu thought that it would be another 20 years. In the days before her house was finished, she didn't want too many people to look at her house, and there was still a lot of fenced area in front of her house, so she offered Uncle Ai to put up a fence according to the area in her title deed instead. Waiting for the house to be finished then tearing down the fence of her old house.
Uncle Ai also forgot to ask to see her title deed first. He was too excited to see such a nice house design. When Ji Jiu greeted him, he asked her to bring the title deed for him to see. Ji Jiu entered the room and brought the title deed for Uncle Ai to examine. Uncle Ai found that the house that Ji Jiu was currently living in was very far from the front of the land. He thought that the road he had walked before was a public place. When he saw the title deed, he quickly told her that he could do as she wanted.
After talking, Ji Jiu invited the two uncles to eat lunch. She went in to collect the title deed and came out to sit and eat with the uncle. The aunts instead sat and ate in the house. They said they had more fun with having friends.
The 50 workers who came on the job didn't think that Ji Jiu's food would be this good. One year, they counted by hand how many times they could eat meat. But this is both stir-fried pork. Boiled chicken. Plus nice white rice with no grains in it. They sat and ate and talked about how they must do a good job worthy of the large wages and good food. The villagers in the village who had never known Ji Jiu but had known about her for a long time were surprised. They know that if they cause trouble, They definitely won't get a good job. Plus, the village headman has instructed them to be careful with their words and not to pry into Ji Jiu's affairs. So they really didn't dare. Ji Jiu also told Uncle to tell the workers that if they weren't full, they could add more. Better than leftovers Uncle Ai immediately went to announce to everyone.
After lunch and rest until you are tired. The workers along with Uncle Ai and Uncle Elder immediately went up the mountain again. They hurriedly completed their orders so that at the end of the day they would receive a large wage. The young men in the village were also repeatedly warned by their parents to do well in order to have money to buy supplies before the winter.
