Xiao Qiao enters the farm gate

Nowadays, the colors of fabrics are very rich, which shows that the dyeing industry is very developed.If available, no matter minerals or plants are used, lacquer is used to add color and boil with oil, which can not only meet the needs of weaving color, but also is convenient, simple and practical.

"I've seen lacquered furniture before. If it's used to paint bamboo strips, it should work as well." Lin Zheng felt that they were pretty much the same.

"I think so too." Qiao Mo thought more about it. He made bamboo jars as sugar packaging, and he had to consider investment and recycling when doing business.There is not much paint used on the weaving, and he does not plan to paint it all over, and it will be mass-produced at that time, so the cost is not high.

Lin Zheng suddenly said, "Ah Mo, have you ever thought about selling bamboo utensils?"

Qiao Mo was puzzled: "You mean to sell these bamboo products?"

"Yeah. It doesn't need to be so fine. It's just the things used in ordinary homes. If you weave them with a little modification, they should sell well." Lin Zheng said again: "If the shop opens, you can make peanut candy, dip it in sugar, and If you want to sell mints, you have to spend time making them up, I’m afraid you won’t be able to take care of them. If you hire someone to make them up, it will save a lot of trouble.”

"What you said is also reasonable." Qiao Mo really ignored this point, and did not hesitate to discuss with him directly: "Our shop will have to invite at least three people, one at each counter, and one person to do chores. After all, we You can’t live without a house and land here. Besides, if you want to sell these bamboo products, you don’t need a shop for the time being. Let’s talk to a shop and supply them directly, which will save you a lot of trouble. But the demand is definitely not small in this way. Like you said, you have to hire someone."

"Well, at least it will take five or six." Lin Zheng made a conservative estimate. After all, he was a novice at the beginning, and he couldn't produce many pieces in a month.

"Not good." Qiao Mo shook his head: "You forgot, the bamboo forest here is deep in the mountains, and there are very few nearby. If we make a move, will the villagers be envious? I'm afraid it will be cut down if there is no bamboo in a day. Yes. I want to buy the mountain with the bamboo forest and open a weaving workshop. For the first time, we will recruit five fixed people. In addition, we will teach the whole village the simplest things for the public for free, and then They can directly receive processed bamboo strips from us at a low price, weave them at home, and if they pass the inspection, we will buy back the finished product.”

As soon as Lin Zheng heard it, he understood that in this way, they had enough finished products and saved a lot of employment fees, and the villagers also benefited, reducing disputes.And speaking of it, Qiao Mo was generous and willing to bring the villagers to make money together. Lizheng and the clan were also happy and would support them a lot.

"It's still your idea."

"I don't know people from the village very well. Do you think we should hire people from the village in our shop?" Qiao Mo thought that doing business is different from others.In the village, he was the closest to Aunt Li's family, and he didn't have much contact with others.

"Li Xi is very suitable." This was the first person Lin Zheng thought of, and then he said, "Li Liang is a steady man. He used to be a waiter in a shop in the town, so he can do it. Let's add Yu Wen."

"Yu Wen? Old man Yu's son?" Although it was the first time I heard this name, there was only one family in Shanglin Village with the surname Yu.

"Well, Yu Wen has just turned eighteen this year, and he is very smart, so it's no problem to do odd jobs."

Thinking about the situation at the old man's house, Qiao Mo knew that Lin was willing to help, not to mention that the requirements for doing chores were not high, as long as he could obey orders, he could be diligent.Since Lin Zheng clicked on Yu Wen, he must really understand.

"I plan to open the shop after the new house is built. You can tell them in advance about the wages..." Qiao Mo hesitated. He really didn't understand the market in this area, and he didn't know how much to open.They are all from the same village, especially Li Liang and Lin Zheng have a very good relationship. Wouldn't it hurt their feelings if there were fewer openings?

Lin Zheng said: "The waiters in the tea house are paid three dollars a month, including board and lodging. There are also one or two in other shops, which are all made up by other places. After the shop opened, they had to leave someone to watch the shop every night. Going back and forth to the county every day is also hard work, so give me five dollars and take care of the food."

Qiao Mo nodded, five qian is five hundred wen.Except for the hard work of commuting to and from the county every day, there is no need for other expenses, which is equivalent to a net income of [-]. Not to mention the people in the village, even the people in the town and county are looking at it, it is also a good job.

"How much does it cost to buy a mountain?" Qiao Mo suddenly remembered this matter, calculated his savings, more than [-] taels, and wondered how expensive that mountain was.

"I have to ask Li Zheng, I can't tell." In Lin Zheng's memory, the bamboo forest was very big, and the moso bamboo grew very well.

However, Qiao Mo was ready to bleed heavily, and once again lamented that the money was useless, and only hoped that the shop would be able to make a profit as soon as it opened.

It rained for three days in a row and finally cleared up.

Qiao Mo felt that the house was moldy, and seeing that the weather was very good, he pulled the hemp rope and took the two quilts out to dry in the sun.After that, he didn't stay at home, took a jar of hot water, and went to the field to look for Lin Zheng.

When I came back in the evening, I was about to collect the quilt, but saw that the quilt fell on the ground, covered with a lot of soil, and there was even a pepper seedling with soil on the quilt.Qiao Mo suddenly felt bad, and told Lin Zheng to pick up the quilt, and ran to the vegetable garden behind the house by himself.

Sure enough, it was as if a typhoon passed through the vegetable garden, and almost all the vegetables were uprooted.

Qiao Mo gritted his teeth angrily, calmed down and thought about it, and immediately guessed who did it.Did he make up his mind to use his house as a place to vent?Do you think that if you can't grasp the appearance, he will forget it?Li Shuilian made a wrong calculation!

Lin Zhenggang put down the quilt and came over, but bumped into him head-on: "Ah Mo?"

"I'll go find him!" Qiao Mo left without saying a word and walked away.

Arriving at Father Lin's house in a fit of rage, I heard a commotion in the house, Li Shuilian and Grandma Lin were arguing.In the past, Qiao Mo would definitely have leisure time to watch the fun, but now is not the time.

"Sister-in-law is here..."

Qiao Mo nodded at the cowardly Yingzi, went straight into the room, raised his hand without saying a word, and slapped the sharp-mouthed Li Shuilian twice. The two crisp sounds of "Pa" and "Pa" not only stunned Li Shuilian, but also stunned the distraught Old Mama Lin and Lin Fu, who was just watching.

"You, you hit me..." Li Shuilian stared blankly, touching the two clear red palm prints on her face, but she still hasn't recovered.

"It was you I hit!" Qiao Mo stared straight at Li Shuilian with a cold face, "Don't think I don't know about the nasty things you did. I didn't argue with you before, but you made more and more progress. Where is my home? You are free to toss around? Don’t think that I will be afraid of you. Today I will put the words here, you toss once, I hit once, I want to see if you still want this face!"

"You, you..." Li Shuilian was used to being strong and domineering, but she was shocked when she encountered Qiao Mo's ruthlessness.

Qiao Mo glanced coldly at the others in the room, then turned and left.

When she walked out of the gate, Li Shuilian's sharp cry came from behind, mixed with crying and cursing, but she didn't chase after all.

On the way, he met Lin Zheng who was looking for him. Facing Lin Zheng's worried gaze, Qiao Mo frowned and handed it over: "I was too hard just now, my hand hurts."

Lin Zheng looked down, no, his hands were red.

Now you don't have to ask and you know what he's going to do.Lin Zheng didn't think he did anything wrong, but thought of Li Shuilian as a human being, he couldn't help but secretly be wary.If Li Shuilian came up with any sinister ideas again, no wonder he was so ruthless.

Qiao Mo muttered belatedly as he walked: "What do you think he is thinking? He is dissatisfied with the marriage, and the marriage is not going well. Why did he vent his anger on our family?"

It's hard for Lin Zheng to say that those two people were cured by him when they were discussing how to harm him, otherwise he would get to the bottom of it, and he would definitely know Li Shuilian's vicious intentions back then.

Qiao Mo just muttered a few words, and he knew in his heart that there is such a kind of person in the world, no matter what happened to him, the best way is to vent his anger.Li Shuilian's miscalculation was that he didn't expect him to break his face and knock on the door. He doesn't like to quarrel with people.

There is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that Li Shuilian is the most difficult thing for Mrs. Lin to deal with right now. Seeing Li Shuilian being slapped in the face with her own eyes, how can she keep her mouth shut.So that night, the whole village knew that Qiao Mo had come to the door alone, he slapped Li Shuilian in the face, and left without hindrance.

You know, Qiao Mo has always been recognized as the best-looking little brother in the village, and he has never been seen getting angry. At most, he can reason with his mouth, but he can read and write, which is not special.So when they first heard that Qiao Mo hit someone, Li Shuilian was the one who hit him, and even slapped him directly in the face, many people were stunned and couldn't believe it for a while.

Not to mention how other people were surprised and commented, Li Shuilian became angry when he heard about it, and immediately went to Li Shuilian to ask for clarification.

When I arrived at Lin's house, I saw that there was no need to ask, the two slap marks on Li Shuilian's face were swollen.

"Oh, my brother Lian, how did this, how did this happen? Was it really Qiao Mo who hit him?" Aunt Jin kept asking.

"It's not who he is!" Li Shuilian dared not speak loudly, otherwise her cheeks would be hot and painful.He hated Qiao Mo when he mentioned it, but when he thought of Qiao Mo's eyes and the ruthlessness in his strikes at that time, he didn't dare to look for him, and he was afraid that he would make people laugh when he went out with such a face, so he even forgot to tell his grandma.

"It's really him, I'll go find him!" Aunt Jin was furious, but she was also thinking about how much money she would need for wound medicine to be considered a disadvantage.

"Ah, ah." Li Shuilian yelled twice and didn't stop her.

When Aunt Jin entered Lin's house, many people saw him, and now they saw him coming out and going straight to the west of the village, so they knew that he was going to Lin Zheng's house.One spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon half the village went to watch the excitement.

At this moment, Qiao Mo and Lin Zhenggang were having dinner, and they had been rescuing the seedlings in the vegetable garden.Fortunately, it has only rained, and the soil is soft. When the vegetables are inserted, the roots are basically not damaged. If they are planted back in time, they may still survive.

I was eating here, but I heard a noise in my ears, and the sound was getting closer.

Qiao Mo frowned, put down the bowl and chopsticks, walked to the kitchen door, looked up, and immediately understood.
