Farmhouse is so old
Chapter 40
"What did you think of?" Zhou Dahua stepped forward and patted Zhou Xiaohua on the head, bluffing like a mother.
Zhou Xiaohua avoided Zhou Dahua's slap on the head and said, "I thought about how to make money." My sister still likes to slap her head as before. She has used this trick countless times, and she already knows how to dodge it.
"What's the way, let's hear it." Zhou Qing became interested. When he was a child, his second sister had a lot of tricks, and she could always find a lot of delicious food with her.
"Haha, hurry up and work, and I'll tell you when I'm done. You see, we haven't finished cleaning a room here for half a day, how lazy we are." To be young and willful again in front of my sister and brother.
"Yes, let's go to work." Zhou Dahua wanted to knock his sister's head, but raised his hand in the air, and then remembered that he and his sister were not young anymore, they were children's mothers, and put his hand back gently.
Although this house is only a two-entry house, it covers a large area when it was built. There are quite a lot of wing rooms in each row, and it is tiring to clean a house.
Not only to clean up the debris left inside, but also to clean the ground and all kinds of corners on the wall.
It has been left for ten years, and the inside is full of dead branches and leaves, and grass has grown in the house. A lot of it has been removed during repairs, and there are still many leftovers.
Zhou Qing squatted on the ground and pried up a piece of stubborn soil with the bamboo stick in his hand, and only then did the bluestone slab below leak out.
"It will be abandoned for another ten years, and the bluestone slab will be submerged. Who knows that there used to be a big house here." Zhou Dahua felt a little regretful. When she was young, she often took her younger siblings here to hide from the rain. , this area has the most bamboo forests, and it is easy to dig bamboo shoots.
Spring bamboo shoots are the most delicious in spring, and many of them will be exposed after a rain. You can always dig a few baskets with a small basket.
Zhou Qing Zhou Xiaohua heard her sister talk about it, and she also remembered what happened when they were young. Zhou Qing couldn't help swallowing secretly when he thought of the spicy bamboo shoots pickled by his mother.
Tang Qing loves spicy food the most. He hasn't tasted the spicy bamboo shoots yet. It just so happens that it's spring, and there should be some bamboo shoots coming out. He licked his lips and said, "Eldest sister and second sister, let's dig some bamboo shoots and go home later." Let mother make some spicy bamboo shoots, I haven't eaten mother's food for a long time."
"Mother must be happy to hear your words. I still miss my mother every day in the same village, my greedy brother." Zhou Dahua had exactly the intention, but he was too shy to speak in front of his younger siblings.
Thinking of food, the three of them became more energetic in their work, so they wanted to finish their work soon so that they could dig the bamboo shoots home.
Sure enough, I found quite a few in the bamboo forest, and they are just about to emerge, but they are tender, and if you don't pull the dead branches apart, you can't see its small tip at all.
Zhou Qing dug left and right with a small hoe, picked up the small tip of the bamboo shoot, and the whole thing came out of the soil. It was almost as long as a finger, and it was quite big, but the shell was pulled out. There is nothing left.
Tang Qing was also a little eager to try, took Zhou Qing's small hoe, and dug like Zhou Qing. 'Kacha' The bamboo shoot was dug out, Tang Qing's hand was stiff, and he didn't know whether to continue or not.
Seeing Tang Qing's bewildered look, Zhou Qing took the hoe in his hand and dug out the remaining half.He found another one and signaled Tang Qing to continue.
Tang Qing was a little afraid to start, fearing that it would be broken again. Sure enough, after digging a few times in succession, they were all broken. Tang Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was obviously easy to operate, but how could it be so difficult to implement.
"It doesn't matter, just dig a few more times. When I was young, I carried baskets behind my sisters." Zhou Qing didn't make fun of Tang Qing. The point where you can dig with a hoe.
Tang Qing was different from him. When he learned to hold a hoe, Tang Qing should have been writing with a brush in the school, otherwise the calligraphy would have been so beautiful.
It has compared Tang Qing, Cheng Ziyu, and shopkeeper Wu's handwriting, and still thinks the husband's handwriting is the most beautiful, and it is smooth and smooth, and it is pleasing to the eye.
Sometimes I still think that if I stop being a doctor that day, I can still copy books, write letters for others, and sell couplets during the Chinese New Year, so I won’t let myself starve to death.
Zhou Qing withdrew his hands, because his hand was always disobedient, and his handwriting was swaying. If someone asked him to write two words or something that day, wouldn't it be embarrassing.
Tang Qing didn't know that Zhou Qing had thought so much for a while that he could write on it even if he dug a bamboo shoot. If he knew, he would really want to open his little brain to see how the brain circuits inside were generated.
"Haha, I finally succeeded in one." Tang Qing dug a dozen or so, and finally dug out a complete bamboo shoot, almost jumping up with joy.
"How much have you dug up?" Zhou Dahua and Zhou Xiaohua were happy that Tang Qing and Zhou Qing had found a lot, but they couldn't hear clearly from a distance, so they opened their voices and shouted.
Tang Qing blushed a little when he heard Zhou Dahua's voice, there were only about a dozen of them, and only two good ones were broken into two pieces, and they were sparsely placed in the basket and looked ugly.
"It's all for eating, just dig it out." Zhou Qing comforted Tang Qing with a basket.
The two of them rummaged through the bamboo forest and only dug half of the basket. Zhou Dahua and Zhou Xiaohua's baskets were almost popping out.
"Elder Sister, Second Sister, you have dug up so much." Tang Qing was a little surprised. He also searched very hard just now, with Zhou Qing's help, still not as much as the two of them.
"It looks so much. After removing the shell, it's only as big as a thumb." Zhou Xiaohua stretched out her finger and gestured.
Zhou Dahua's basket was already full, and she couldn't put it down, so she had to stuff it all into Tang Qing's basket: "It's also our luck. No one has come out to dig bamboo shoots recently. In two days, the bamboo forest will be full of people. We can find them." Let's have fun with one or two."
Now it’s not as short of food as before, but the people in this village are still poor. Some families have a large population, and there are still many people who can’t eat enough. If you see a wild vegetable on the road, you have to dig it up, let alone this bamboo shoot. .
One more wild vegetable is one more life. The common people's request is really simple, just enough to eat and wear warm clothes.
Wang Xi'er had known for a long time that Tang Qing and the others were coming for dinner, so she was overjoyed.Everyone is not far away, but if you want to get together for a meal, you have to celebrate the New Year. Every time you come, you have to bring a gift back. If the family’s harvest is not good that year, you dare not come back.
It's all the flesh that fell from her body. Who doesn't feel bad? If she hasn't seen it all year round, she misses it tightly. The older she gets, the more obvious this emotion is. If she can see her children from time to time, she can be happy for several days .
Hearing that the two daughters and brother were going home, they rushed to prepare things, took out the reserved bacon and mountain products at home, and bought a pot of wine on purpose, which was even worse than the New Year's Eve rich.
"I made so many." Wang Xi'er was a little surprised to see Zhou Dahua and the others carrying several baskets of bamboo shoots.
"Fortunately, no one has dug it yet." Several people lifted the basket outside the kitchen door, found a small stool and a knife, and began to peel the bamboo shoots.
I peeled off the outer skin, and there was not much left, only a little more than a basket, and the shells alone were piled up in a big pile.
Wang Xi'er, the three mothers and their daughter were skillfully clicking in the kitchen. Zhou Qing couldn't get in at all, so he had to do his best job of making soup.
Speaking of which, no one in the family has eaten the soup he made, so take this opportunity to show off your skills.
"When will my younger brother be able to do so well? It will be different after getting married." Zhou Xiaohua wiped her hands on the apron neatly, thinking of asking her younger brother to help her.Seeing that he was doing well, he started to tease him.
"Second sister, please try the soup I made later, it will definitely leave you with endless aftertaste." Zhou Qing smiled at Zhou Xiaohua showing her white teeth.
"As long as you don't add too much salt, you can add it if it's too little, but you want to kill us if it's too much." Zhou Xiaohua didn't believe in her younger brother's cooking skills, so she reminded him that as long as the younger brother cooks Good seasoning, they just put it on.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Zhou Qing poked his fingers secretly, looking aggrieved.
"Second sister, let him try it. He was very good at cooking when he was at home. You can see that he is capable of doing so many things now." Tang Qing showed everyone Zhou Qing's prepared ingredients.
"Okay, okay, I'll trust you once." Zhou Xiaohua still couldn't believe it. With Zhou Qing's kitchen frying skills, she felt scared by the side, but seeing Tang Qing doting on him so much, as a family member You can't lose face, no, it's a big deal to pay more attention to it, and stop it immediately if there is something wrong.
Tang Qing gave Zhou Qing an encouraging look. He had done it many times at home, and he believed in him very much. It wouldn't be a big deal if he was tutoring him.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath, took the ingredients and began to prepare. What he was going to make this time was old duck soup with bamboo shoots. The fire boiled slowly.
"Come often, I made spicy bamboo shoots." Wang Xi'er brought over a small plate, which contained a few pieces of light yellow bamboo shoots covered with chopped peppers, which was really pretty.
Zhou Qing had been talking about it for a while, and Wang Xier brought some of it to him after he made it.Zhou Qing took the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"Mother's cooking is still so delicious." Zhou Qing asked, not forgetting to feed Tang Qing a slice, "Is it delicious?"
"Hot and sour is really good." Tang Qing also likes it quite a bit. He has been too busy to eat and has no appetite these days, so this is a good appetizer.
The two quickly ate the small dish, and watched Wang Xier drooling silently.
After eating this dish of spicy bamboo shoots, the appetites of the two of them increased a lot, and they felt hungry at this time, and they really wanted to eat.
"It'll be fine in a while." Wang Xi'er nodded to Zhou Qing, who was beside him with a gluttonous appetite.
"Okay, let's go out, don't delay mother." Tang Qing will also be tempted by the spicy bamboo shoots, but the kitchen is not big, and it is a bit crowded for five people to squeeze in at once. Wang Xi'er is holding a kitchen knife Not good activities.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" Walking out of the kitchen, Zhou Qing asked Tang Qing. Today, he was the only one nagging about eating this, and that one completely forgot about Tang Qing.
Tang Qing took his hand and waved it, "I want to drink the soup you made right now."
Speaking of it, there is really nothing he doesn't like to eat, but he doesn't eat unpalatable and unclean food. As long as these two conditions are met, he can eat a bowl of pickles and rice.
I have already notified the children at home that they are also rushing over to have dinner this time, maybe they are really hungry, so Zhou Shan and Zhou He went into the kitchen to look for something to eat with a "wow".
They were kicked out again by Wang Xier, and Zhou Dahua and Zhou Xiaohua gave them a helpless look.It's your mother who forbids you to come in, and we can't stop you either.
"Go and wash your hands." Wang Xi'er looked disgusted when she saw that Zhou Shan and Zhou He's hands were covered with black ointment. Trembling hard.
"You are so good to my sisters and brothers, but why are you so bad to us?" Zhou He was a little unconvinced, and contradicted Wang Xi'er.
"Heh, you brat, you still want to challenge my old lady. Didn't I give you food when you were at home every day? What's wrong with your brother and sister coming back once?" Wang Xi'er grabbed Zhou He's ear and gave Zhou Shan and Zhou He Throw it out the door.
Zhou Shan and Zhou He went to wash their hands with tears in their eyes. Seeing that Zhang Lan, Zhou Su and the others were helping to set the dishes, they patted their heads in embarrassment, but when the guests came up, they were playing with the host's house, and their faces were a little red.
"Little uncle. Where are your rags? I want to wipe the table." Zhang Lan searched around but couldn't find a rag, so she ran over to ask them.
"It's hanging out on the jujube tree outside. Check if there is any." Zhou Shan answered while helping Zhou Su wash the dishes.
Tang Qing happened to be in the courtyard. Hearing Zhou Shan's voice, he looked on the jujube tree. He found a black rag, tore it off and handed it to Zhang Lan.
"Thank you uncle." Zhang Lan took a rag and wiped the two tables clean.
In the evening, the sun in the sky was hidden, only a little light remained on the clouds, looking mischievously at the people on the ground.
Zhou Dafu also came back from the field early. In the beginning of spring, the soil should be turned over again, and the grass roots under the ground should be hoed. Otherwise, when the seeds go down, all the nutrients will be absorbed by the grass, and the crops will not grow well.
There is only one cow in the village, and there is a long queue waiting for it to be used. When the queue reaches you, the crops can be harvested, so let's turn them over with a hoe yourself. Don't be afraid of being tired.
"Let's eat." Zhou Dafu washed the mud off his hands, then walked into the room, sat at the head of the dining table, and raised his hand for everyone to eat.
Dishes were brought up from the kitchen one after another, and they looked richer than Chinese New Year. Everyone was too busy to eat a good meal recently, and Wang Xier was not stingy. Stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, shredded pork and mushrooms, braised pork ribs, and finally Zhou Qing old duck soup.
"Well, this soup is delicious." Zhou Dafu sighed in admiration when he smelled the old duck soup just out of the pot.
The smell of this old duck soup just out of the pot is sealed in the soup. If you don't get close, you can't smell it at all.If this is not on the table, the aroma of the whole table will be compared.
"Unexpectedly, it was done by Brother Qing." Wang Xier patted Zhou Dafu on the shoulder behind his back and said with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad." Zhou Dafu filled a bowl of soup, and after taking a sip, he was full of praise: "Our family, Zhou Qing, can open a shop with his skills."
"You taught me." Zhou Dafu took another sip and smiled at Tang Qing. As far as he knew, his son knew him best. It was impossible for Zhou Qing to have this skill. The only possibility was that Tang Qing would teach him by hand. from.
"Father, you guessed wrong. I can't teach such a good skill. This is all figured out by Zhou Qing." Tang Qing denied with a smile.
"Ha-ha-ha." Hearing Tang Qing's refusal, Zhou Dafu smiled brightly. Who doesn't want his son to be successful, even a little progress can be shown to others for a long time.
"Father, don't just drink the soup, you can also eat a la carte, your daughter's cooking is not bad." Zhou Xiaohua watched Zhou Dafu just drink the soup made by Zhou Qing, and gave him a dish with chopsticks.
Zhou Dafu stuffed some food into his mouth with a red face, and said happily: "Yes, yes, everything is good, I can do it."
"Second Sister, what did you say about earning money this afternoon?" Zhou Qing remembered what Zhou Xiaohua said in the afternoon after eating halfway through, and forgot about digging bamboo shoots.
Zhou Xiaohua heard Zhou Qing's words and said in a dying state: "I was full of confidence at first, but after drinking your soup tonight, I lost my confidence."
"Second Sister might as well talk about it." Tang Qing became interested when he heard that they were going to make money.
In ancient times, there were very few women like Zhou Xiaohua who wanted to start their own businesses. Most of them regarded their husbands as their gods. When the family was poor, they embroidered and embroidered to subsidize the family. Most of the pressure to earn money relied on men, like Zhou Xiaohua. There are very few people who want to make money this way, but there are.
"I originally wanted to make some food and sell it in the town, but compared with my younger brother's soup, I feel that my craftsmanship is ashamed." Zhou Xiaohua was a little discouraged, she always said such thoughts without thinking, Now I can't wait to slap myself twice.
Let your mouth be quick, it's embarrassing now, if you say such an unrealistic thing in front of the whole family, you will probably laugh out loud.
But today her embarrassing thing did not happen, Tang Qing put down his chopsticks and said to Zhou Xiaohua: "Second Sister, your idea is very good, as long as the food you cook tastes good and is novel, you can definitely make money."
Tang Qing was very supportive. They themselves were hardworking and smart, and the things he made were clean after seeing them. They would definitely do it if they sold them.
Zhou Xiaohua waved her hands again and again: "No, no, no, I was just thinking wildly."
How could Zhou Xiaohua dare to answer at this time, her face was red and red, thinking of her nonsense and self-confidence in the afternoon, she was slapped in the face before the whole night passed.
Embarrassed, she had no choice but to pinch her husband to relieve her embarrassment.Liu Mumeng was suddenly pinched by Zhou Xiaohua, his face was flushed, there were so many people in the room who didn't dare to show any strangeness, so he could only pretend that nothing happened.
Tang Qing's eyes are so shrewd, he immediately saw the tricks of the couple, the corner of his mouth twitched and said: "I have a question, do you want to listen to the second sister?"
Zhou Qing also saw Zhou Xiaohua's embarrassment, and kicked Tang Qing's foot vigorously under the table to tell him not to talk, but it was still a step too late.
"I want to listen, I want to listen." Of course, Zhou Xiaohua would not miss it. She has been more assertive since she was a child. If Tiantian hadn't been ill for the past two years, she really couldn't hold her head up in front of her relatives, and she wouldn't be so cowardly.
It is said that being a mother is strong, and she wants to be strong now.Tiantian was sick and his family couldn't afford even ten taels of silver. He begged his grandpa to sue his grandma everywhere, and even sold an acre of land to make up the money.
Her Tiantian is still young and weak, if she doesn't save some dowry, she will be bullied to death when she goes to someone else's house.Tiantian will be better off only if she is strong, and she won't get sick so that the family can't get a penny out of it.
Liu Mu is an elm lump again, let him do his job, he doesn't have the brains to do other things, his limbs are strong and his mind is simple, so it's good not to be deceived by others.
Zhou Xiaohua also thought about finding a job. Firstly, Tiantian is still too young, and secondly, there are not many female workers who want to work. After thinking about it, let it go. She can earn some money by doing a small business, Tiantian She can still watch herself.
"I'm opening a pharmaceutical factory, but I don't provide meals here. If the second sister wants to do something, she can start from this aspect." Tang Qing just gave Zhou Xiaohua a hint, and let him think about the rest.
Since you want to start a business, you have to learn how to develop your own thinking. If he says everything, this is not called starting a business, but she is working for him.
"Food? Pharmaceutical factory?" Zhou Xiaohua lowered her head in thought and stopped eating.Others at the dinner table did not dare to make too much noise for fear of disturbing her thinking.
Zhou Xiaohua was thinking about how to make money in a pharmaceutical factory, and how it was related to food.The first thing she thought of was that most of the people recruited by this pharmaceutical factory were from the village, and it was impossible to buy food because they were so close to each other.
It’s not enough to focus on the outer villages. There are only [-] people in the outer villages, and many of them will definitely bring their own dry food, and they will definitely not come to buy food.
She couldn't figure out what Tang Qing was thinking. She was scratching her ear and looking for a sachet on Liu Tiantian's body. She slapped her thigh and said, "Brother-in-law, you want me to open a sachet in your pharmaceutical factory?" Grocery store, sell some food by the way."
Tang Qing was a little surprised. He originally wanted her to contract the food in the pharmaceutical factory. He originally planned to subsidize one hundred Wen per person for food. It is inconvenient for people to go back and forth far away from home, but we can't let them eat dry food every day.
The people in the village don't have good food, so it's better to use this method to improve their food and gain a good reputation. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaohua came up with such a good method in another way.
Tang Qing thought about it for a while and felt that this was feasible. First of all, there is no shop similar to a small shop in the village. Sometimes everyone lacks something, and the owner collects it, and the west family borrows it. They will buy it back and return it when they go to the next market.
Once again, Tang Qing opened this pharmaceutical factory and gathered so many people. If everyone earns money, they must have a place to spend it, and it is too far away from the town.
At this time, if there is a small shop, everyone will want to buy everything they see, and it is next to the pharmaceutical factory, so they can pick up what is missing at home after get off work, that would be great.
"Second sister is really smart, she came up with this idea right away." Tang Qing stroked his train of thought and praised Zhou Xiaohua.
"It's just that I'm going to trouble you again." Tang Qing had already been troubled a lot with Tiantian's affairs, and Zhou Xiaohua really felt ashamed to rely on him this time.
"It's not troublesome." Tang Qing felt that she had done nothing, everything was thought up by herself, and she refused to admit it.
"Well, you will get half of the store's profit, and you can't refuse." Zhou Xiaohua really couldn't find anything to repay, so she gave Tang Qing half of the store's profit, so that she could take the rest at ease.
Tang Qing wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Zhou Qing.Zhou Qing knew that his family couldn't just refuse, and he didn't know when the favor would be repaid all the time, so he accepted Zhou Xiaohua's proposal.
Seeing that they agreed, Zhou Xiaohua felt much more at ease, and thought about how to borrow money from her relatives when she went back.
"Sister, if you're okay, come and contract the canteen of this pharmaceutical factory." Zhou Xiaohua's side was fine, and Tang Qing brought the topic back to the canteen.
"Canteen? What do you mean?" Zhou Dahua was eating, and Tang Qing asked him, but he still didn't come back to his senses. Didn't he talk to his sister, why did he turn to himself again?
Tang Qing explained the idea of the cafeteria to Zhou Dahua. Zhou Dahua listened with great interest, but she was not as forthright as Zhou Xiaohua and dared not agree.
"I'm sure I can't do it. You should look for someone else." Zhou Dahua still refused after hearing this. This pharmaceutical factory can be said to be the brainchild of his younger brother and husband. It would be a serious crime if he messed up his plug.
Zhou Xiaohua stomped her feet, and said anxiously: "Sister, just promise, you are so careful, and the food you cook is delicious, no matter how bad it is, I will help you."
"Look, if you build this cafeteria, I'll buy something in the town and I'll get it back for you. My brother also has a freezer at home to store some meat and vegetables in summer. I can do it if you're usually busy alone. How nice to help you." Zhou Xiaohua gave Zhou Dahua a clear analysis.
"If it's someone else, I won't help her. We two sisters can talk to relieve boredom when we are together. This cafeteria is also related to my brother's hard work. It's better to have a big sister than others."
Zhou Dahua was about to be dizzy by what she said, looking at her parents, hoping that the two elders would give her an idea, but Zhou Dafu didn't look at her at all, and Wang Xier also turned her head to one side, resolutely ignoring the matter.
"Sister, don't hesitate, just do it, if you really can't do it, you can change people." Tang Qing said with a nail hammer at the end.
"I... well, if I can't do it, you can change." Zhou Dahua really couldn't hold them back and had to agree first. In fact, she was still eager to try, but she was always worried that this would not work well or that would not work well. contradiction.
"That's the deal." Tang Qing was relieved when he finalized the canteen. He had already figured out that if no one took over, he would not open the canteen.
But when he thought that there would be 200 people eating dry food every day, he felt a little uncomfortable.No matter how delicious dry food is, you can't eat it every day. If you eat it for a year or two, you will always have problems, especially if it is hot in summer, what if you get food poisoning?
Whether or not his pharmaceutical factory will be opened, so it is better to spend some money to build a canteen, and it can kill two birds with one stone.
"Sister, I can only give you 50 taels of silver per month, three meals a day, as for these three meals, you can do whatever you want, and you will earn the rest."
50 taels of silver, the pharmaceutical factory has to recruit a total of [-] workers, which means that each person only has [-] taels of food per month.
Zhou Dahua nodded. She has a sense of proportion in her heart. She can't lose face to her brother-in-law, and she can't do too badly. It's fine, and the money should be controlled within a certain range. If someone who doesn't understand oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea This price must be a loss.
Zhou Dahua went back and had a good time thinking about it. Zhou Xiaohua would buy rice noodles with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. She could bring a copy of these to her sister when she discussed with her to see if she could buy them.Finally, there are meat and vegetables. The vegetables are good and they can save a lot of money by growing them at home, and they can buy them from the village if they can't afford them.
Acquisition was the last way Zhou Dahua thought of. The best plan in her mind was to let her relatives grow a variety of vegetables, and it was best not to grow the same in each family. When she wanted it, she could just buy it.
She thought so, so she talked to all the relatives, so that it can also drive the income of the relatives, and by the way, let everyone raise more chickens, ducks, pigs, etc., so that all problems will not be a problem.
After Tang Qing learned about it, he had to marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. He just made a suggestion, but they can quickly bring about a circle of economy. Everyone can earn money. Those who grow vegetables and raise pigs can sell them to the cafeteria. Those who are able to work can come to work in the pharmaceutical factory, and everyone is satisfied, which Tang Qing did not expect at first.
Recently, the most proud person in the village is the village head. The other villages rushed to give him gifts, hoping to give him more places in the pharmaceutical factory. Everyone in the village also praised him as the village head. He is not as decadent as before, he is very happy in his heart.
He drank small wine and meat all day long, and even gained a little weight. Thinking that his three sons had all gone to Tang Qing's pharmaceutical factory, Tang Qing was immediately promoted to management when he heard that they could read and write. The minimum is five yuan a month, and his three sons are one or two and a half.
One or two halves can buy as many things as you can eat meat for a month, so he is very happy.
Everything was done in the pharmaceutical factory, and everything needed in the factory had to be done before Cheng Ziyu's medicinal materials arrived.
As soon as the medicinal materials arrived, there were dozens of large boats, all of which were urgently needed. Tang Qing hired dozens of horse-drawn carriages to take them back to the village day and night. Empty.
On the opening day, Tang Qing set off a few firecrackers to settle the matter hastily. He was really out of money, and his pocket was cleaner than his face. Zhou Qing almost pawned his gold bracelet, but fortunately Tang Qing stopped it in time. This thing should not be kept as a family heirloom.
"I didn't say I'm going to die. You can get money to redeem it after you get a job." Zhou Qing touched the gold bracelet and felt a little bit reluctant. It was given to Tang Qing when he was hired, and he never dared to bring it out. Afraid of losing it, now that I am so short of money, I have to take him out to pay for it.
"It's good to get through this period of time, but this is not to be left to your daughter-in-law or daughter in the future." Tang Qing firmly disagreed, and Zhou Qing had no choice but to let it go.
"Crackling ~ crackling ~ crackling."
After the sound of firecrackers was over, Tang Qing even skipped the ribbon-cutting. He couldn't even pay for a piece of red cloth, and his relatives lent them clean. Thoughts.
I said a few words of blessing to everyone, which means that the pharmaceutical factory is officially open. The magistrate of the government is very talkative. Ying Linfeng said hello before. Secondly, Tang Qingzhou has made great achievements in killing the robbers. With a good impression, Tang Qing will do it The formalities were not stuck at all, and it was passed immediately. Sure enough, there are people up there who are easy to handle.
"Congratulations, I wish Tang Dong's family a happy opening and a lot of money."
Everyone's blessings are endless, and even the title has been changed to Dongjia. It's no longer like your kid before, and your kid's name is a lot of respect.
"Let's make money together."
Tang Qing also bowed his hands to everyone and said, after all, they are still relatives in the same village after the name has changed.
The list of people who came to the pharmaceutical factory was given to him by the village head. He didn't go to recruit workers. He just asked the village head to draw up the list and send it to him. Anyway, in Tang Qing's eyes, it didn't matter who would do it.
"Stealing, fishing in troubled waters, bad conduct, don't want to make trouble." But not everyone will accept it, otherwise everyone will think Tang Qing is stupid, easy to bully, everyone wants to step on his feet, this soft and hard talent It is benevolent.
"I promise you that there will be no such person." The village chief assured Tang Qing, patted his chest.
Tang Qing saw that the village chief was pleasing to the eye, and he trusted him quite a bit. Before, he was given two hundred places for people from outside the village, and he was quite smart. He took these places to discuss with the village chiefs of other villages for more Planning some benefits, of course, he himself did not suffer.
Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, the village chief took advantage of Tang Qing and naturally made everything look good for him.
Tang Qing thinks highly of this village, if those people in the village don't know what is good and what is wrong and insist on doing evil, then don't blame him for being ungrateful.
Zhoujia Village has been poor for so many years, and finally came a chance to make a fortune. If some people make people feel cold, he, the village head, is not just a show.
As the head of a village, only when the village is strong can he be more stable as the head of the village.
I was still worried that someone would make trouble, so I specially called some people who were usually disobedient to discipline and had a good talk, and I went to their homes over and over again to do ideological work with their families.
When others heard that their sons had the opportunity to enter the pharmaceutical factory, they all geared up to beat up their disobedient and useless sons, and many of them who were wronged were also beaten.
What's more, thinking of his own son's incompetence when he was a child, he was also sneaked out and beaten up. The man was in his thirties and his father beat him around the room with tears in his eyes. He didn't know what he did wrong. .
After the beating, the old man went to another house to brag about how much his son had changed after being beaten, how obedient he was, and it also tickled the hands of other old people. When he came home and saw his son, he couldn't help beating him After a meal, a vigorous son-beating movement was launched in the village like this.
Every evening, the sons of a family would be whipped. Five 60-year-old men would chase their 30-year-old sons all over the yard with shoe soles or thorns.The other neighbors have already prepared melon seeds, tea and tea outside the yard to watch the show, and they still comment from time to time.
"The village is very lively recently." Tang Qing wandered around the village for the past few days, and he could always see many people gathering in twos and threes to discuss something, and occasionally some laughter could be heard from the village.
Tang Qing's house was not very close to the village, so he usually had to shout loudly to be heard.
Zhou Qing rolled his eyes at Tang Qing, and told him what happened in the village. Tang Qing was overjoyed after hearing this.
"You can't blame me for this matter. If you want to blame, you can blame the village head." The village head took the blame at random, and he didn't take the blame anyway.
On the eve of the opening, the village chief was so worried that he even called the whole village together for a meeting.
"Tang Qing in our village is about to open a pharmaceutical factory. Everyone knows how important this matter is to our village. I won't say anything else. You must work hard and listen to Tang Qing. He told you Do whatever you want, or you won’t even think about getting paid.”
"If anyone still wants to do evil in there and get caught and lose face for our village, I don't care about it. When the time comes, they will be expelled from the village and no one will be able to intercede." The village chief has been a little worried about this matter recently. , The Erliang meat that has just been raised has lost weight again.
"This pharmaceutical factory is not only for people from our village, but also people from several nearby villages. Don't be ashamed in front of people from other villages."
The people below didn't take it seriously when they heard other words, but their faces changed when they heard words such as expelling the clan and driving out of the village.
How important a family is!If you are expelled from the family, the government will automatically consider you a refugee, and people from other villages will not take you in, let alone guide you, or you will die, or you will have to live in the mountains and forests with wild beasts, without clothes Clothes, no food to eat, no prey can only die.
If Tang Qing didn't come through the soul, but came here in the flesh, even Zhoujia Village would not be able to enter.
Zhou Xiaohua avoided Zhou Dahua's slap on the head and said, "I thought about how to make money." My sister still likes to slap her head as before. She has used this trick countless times, and she already knows how to dodge it.
"What's the way, let's hear it." Zhou Qing became interested. When he was a child, his second sister had a lot of tricks, and she could always find a lot of delicious food with her.
"Haha, hurry up and work, and I'll tell you when I'm done. You see, we haven't finished cleaning a room here for half a day, how lazy we are." To be young and willful again in front of my sister and brother.
"Yes, let's go to work." Zhou Dahua wanted to knock his sister's head, but raised his hand in the air, and then remembered that he and his sister were not young anymore, they were children's mothers, and put his hand back gently.
Although this house is only a two-entry house, it covers a large area when it was built. There are quite a lot of wing rooms in each row, and it is tiring to clean a house.
Not only to clean up the debris left inside, but also to clean the ground and all kinds of corners on the wall.
It has been left for ten years, and the inside is full of dead branches and leaves, and grass has grown in the house. A lot of it has been removed during repairs, and there are still many leftovers.
Zhou Qing squatted on the ground and pried up a piece of stubborn soil with the bamboo stick in his hand, and only then did the bluestone slab below leak out.
"It will be abandoned for another ten years, and the bluestone slab will be submerged. Who knows that there used to be a big house here." Zhou Dahua felt a little regretful. When she was young, she often took her younger siblings here to hide from the rain. , this area has the most bamboo forests, and it is easy to dig bamboo shoots.
Spring bamboo shoots are the most delicious in spring, and many of them will be exposed after a rain. You can always dig a few baskets with a small basket.
Zhou Qing Zhou Xiaohua heard her sister talk about it, and she also remembered what happened when they were young. Zhou Qing couldn't help swallowing secretly when he thought of the spicy bamboo shoots pickled by his mother.
Tang Qing loves spicy food the most. He hasn't tasted the spicy bamboo shoots yet. It just so happens that it's spring, and there should be some bamboo shoots coming out. He licked his lips and said, "Eldest sister and second sister, let's dig some bamboo shoots and go home later." Let mother make some spicy bamboo shoots, I haven't eaten mother's food for a long time."
"Mother must be happy to hear your words. I still miss my mother every day in the same village, my greedy brother." Zhou Dahua had exactly the intention, but he was too shy to speak in front of his younger siblings.
Thinking of food, the three of them became more energetic in their work, so they wanted to finish their work soon so that they could dig the bamboo shoots home.
Sure enough, I found quite a few in the bamboo forest, and they are just about to emerge, but they are tender, and if you don't pull the dead branches apart, you can't see its small tip at all.
Zhou Qing dug left and right with a small hoe, picked up the small tip of the bamboo shoot, and the whole thing came out of the soil. It was almost as long as a finger, and it was quite big, but the shell was pulled out. There is nothing left.
Tang Qing was also a little eager to try, took Zhou Qing's small hoe, and dug like Zhou Qing. 'Kacha' The bamboo shoot was dug out, Tang Qing's hand was stiff, and he didn't know whether to continue or not.
Seeing Tang Qing's bewildered look, Zhou Qing took the hoe in his hand and dug out the remaining half.He found another one and signaled Tang Qing to continue.
Tang Qing was a little afraid to start, fearing that it would be broken again. Sure enough, after digging a few times in succession, they were all broken. Tang Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was obviously easy to operate, but how could it be so difficult to implement.
"It doesn't matter, just dig a few more times. When I was young, I carried baskets behind my sisters." Zhou Qing didn't make fun of Tang Qing. The point where you can dig with a hoe.
Tang Qing was different from him. When he learned to hold a hoe, Tang Qing should have been writing with a brush in the school, otherwise the calligraphy would have been so beautiful.
It has compared Tang Qing, Cheng Ziyu, and shopkeeper Wu's handwriting, and still thinks the husband's handwriting is the most beautiful, and it is smooth and smooth, and it is pleasing to the eye.
Sometimes I still think that if I stop being a doctor that day, I can still copy books, write letters for others, and sell couplets during the Chinese New Year, so I won’t let myself starve to death.
Zhou Qing withdrew his hands, because his hand was always disobedient, and his handwriting was swaying. If someone asked him to write two words or something that day, wouldn't it be embarrassing.
Tang Qing didn't know that Zhou Qing had thought so much for a while that he could write on it even if he dug a bamboo shoot. If he knew, he would really want to open his little brain to see how the brain circuits inside were generated.
"Haha, I finally succeeded in one." Tang Qing dug a dozen or so, and finally dug out a complete bamboo shoot, almost jumping up with joy.
"How much have you dug up?" Zhou Dahua and Zhou Xiaohua were happy that Tang Qing and Zhou Qing had found a lot, but they couldn't hear clearly from a distance, so they opened their voices and shouted.
Tang Qing blushed a little when he heard Zhou Dahua's voice, there were only about a dozen of them, and only two good ones were broken into two pieces, and they were sparsely placed in the basket and looked ugly.
"It's all for eating, just dig it out." Zhou Qing comforted Tang Qing with a basket.
The two of them rummaged through the bamboo forest and only dug half of the basket. Zhou Dahua and Zhou Xiaohua's baskets were almost popping out.
"Elder Sister, Second Sister, you have dug up so much." Tang Qing was a little surprised. He also searched very hard just now, with Zhou Qing's help, still not as much as the two of them.
"It looks so much. After removing the shell, it's only as big as a thumb." Zhou Xiaohua stretched out her finger and gestured.
Zhou Dahua's basket was already full, and she couldn't put it down, so she had to stuff it all into Tang Qing's basket: "It's also our luck. No one has come out to dig bamboo shoots recently. In two days, the bamboo forest will be full of people. We can find them." Let's have fun with one or two."
Now it’s not as short of food as before, but the people in this village are still poor. Some families have a large population, and there are still many people who can’t eat enough. If you see a wild vegetable on the road, you have to dig it up, let alone this bamboo shoot. .
One more wild vegetable is one more life. The common people's request is really simple, just enough to eat and wear warm clothes.
Wang Xi'er had known for a long time that Tang Qing and the others were coming for dinner, so she was overjoyed.Everyone is not far away, but if you want to get together for a meal, you have to celebrate the New Year. Every time you come, you have to bring a gift back. If the family’s harvest is not good that year, you dare not come back.
It's all the flesh that fell from her body. Who doesn't feel bad? If she hasn't seen it all year round, she misses it tightly. The older she gets, the more obvious this emotion is. If she can see her children from time to time, she can be happy for several days .
Hearing that the two daughters and brother were going home, they rushed to prepare things, took out the reserved bacon and mountain products at home, and bought a pot of wine on purpose, which was even worse than the New Year's Eve rich.
"I made so many." Wang Xi'er was a little surprised to see Zhou Dahua and the others carrying several baskets of bamboo shoots.
"Fortunately, no one has dug it yet." Several people lifted the basket outside the kitchen door, found a small stool and a knife, and began to peel the bamboo shoots.
I peeled off the outer skin, and there was not much left, only a little more than a basket, and the shells alone were piled up in a big pile.
Wang Xi'er, the three mothers and their daughter were skillfully clicking in the kitchen. Zhou Qing couldn't get in at all, so he had to do his best job of making soup.
Speaking of which, no one in the family has eaten the soup he made, so take this opportunity to show off your skills.
"When will my younger brother be able to do so well? It will be different after getting married." Zhou Xiaohua wiped her hands on the apron neatly, thinking of asking her younger brother to help her.Seeing that he was doing well, he started to tease him.
"Second sister, please try the soup I made later, it will definitely leave you with endless aftertaste." Zhou Qing smiled at Zhou Xiaohua showing her white teeth.
"As long as you don't add too much salt, you can add it if it's too little, but you want to kill us if it's too much." Zhou Xiaohua didn't believe in her younger brother's cooking skills, so she reminded him that as long as the younger brother cooks Good seasoning, they just put it on.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Zhou Qing poked his fingers secretly, looking aggrieved.
"Second sister, let him try it. He was very good at cooking when he was at home. You can see that he is capable of doing so many things now." Tang Qing showed everyone Zhou Qing's prepared ingredients.
"Okay, okay, I'll trust you once." Zhou Xiaohua still couldn't believe it. With Zhou Qing's kitchen frying skills, she felt scared by the side, but seeing Tang Qing doting on him so much, as a family member You can't lose face, no, it's a big deal to pay more attention to it, and stop it immediately if there is something wrong.
Tang Qing gave Zhou Qing an encouraging look. He had done it many times at home, and he believed in him very much. It wouldn't be a big deal if he was tutoring him.
Zhou Qing took a deep breath, took the ingredients and began to prepare. What he was going to make this time was old duck soup with bamboo shoots. The fire boiled slowly.
"Come often, I made spicy bamboo shoots." Wang Xi'er brought over a small plate, which contained a few pieces of light yellow bamboo shoots covered with chopped peppers, which was really pretty.
Zhou Qing had been talking about it for a while, and Wang Xier brought some of it to him after he made it.Zhou Qing took the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
"Mother's cooking is still so delicious." Zhou Qing asked, not forgetting to feed Tang Qing a slice, "Is it delicious?"
"Hot and sour is really good." Tang Qing also likes it quite a bit. He has been too busy to eat and has no appetite these days, so this is a good appetizer.
The two quickly ate the small dish, and watched Wang Xier drooling silently.
After eating this dish of spicy bamboo shoots, the appetites of the two of them increased a lot, and they felt hungry at this time, and they really wanted to eat.
"It'll be fine in a while." Wang Xi'er nodded to Zhou Qing, who was beside him with a gluttonous appetite.
"Okay, let's go out, don't delay mother." Tang Qing will also be tempted by the spicy bamboo shoots, but the kitchen is not big, and it is a bit crowded for five people to squeeze in at once. Wang Xi'er is holding a kitchen knife Not good activities.
"Is there anything you want to eat?" Walking out of the kitchen, Zhou Qing asked Tang Qing. Today, he was the only one nagging about eating this, and that one completely forgot about Tang Qing.
Tang Qing took his hand and waved it, "I want to drink the soup you made right now."
Speaking of it, there is really nothing he doesn't like to eat, but he doesn't eat unpalatable and unclean food. As long as these two conditions are met, he can eat a bowl of pickles and rice.
I have already notified the children at home that they are also rushing over to have dinner this time, maybe they are really hungry, so Zhou Shan and Zhou He went into the kitchen to look for something to eat with a "wow".
They were kicked out again by Wang Xier, and Zhou Dahua and Zhou Xiaohua gave them a helpless look.It's your mother who forbids you to come in, and we can't stop you either.
"Go and wash your hands." Wang Xi'er looked disgusted when she saw that Zhou Shan and Zhou He's hands were covered with black ointment. Trembling hard.
"You are so good to my sisters and brothers, but why are you so bad to us?" Zhou He was a little unconvinced, and contradicted Wang Xi'er.
"Heh, you brat, you still want to challenge my old lady. Didn't I give you food when you were at home every day? What's wrong with your brother and sister coming back once?" Wang Xi'er grabbed Zhou He's ear and gave Zhou Shan and Zhou He Throw it out the door.
Zhou Shan and Zhou He went to wash their hands with tears in their eyes. Seeing that Zhang Lan, Zhou Su and the others were helping to set the dishes, they patted their heads in embarrassment, but when the guests came up, they were playing with the host's house, and their faces were a little red.
"Little uncle. Where are your rags? I want to wipe the table." Zhang Lan searched around but couldn't find a rag, so she ran over to ask them.
"It's hanging out on the jujube tree outside. Check if there is any." Zhou Shan answered while helping Zhou Su wash the dishes.
Tang Qing happened to be in the courtyard. Hearing Zhou Shan's voice, he looked on the jujube tree. He found a black rag, tore it off and handed it to Zhang Lan.
"Thank you uncle." Zhang Lan took a rag and wiped the two tables clean.
In the evening, the sun in the sky was hidden, only a little light remained on the clouds, looking mischievously at the people on the ground.
Zhou Dafu also came back from the field early. In the beginning of spring, the soil should be turned over again, and the grass roots under the ground should be hoed. Otherwise, when the seeds go down, all the nutrients will be absorbed by the grass, and the crops will not grow well.
There is only one cow in the village, and there is a long queue waiting for it to be used. When the queue reaches you, the crops can be harvested, so let's turn them over with a hoe yourself. Don't be afraid of being tired.
"Let's eat." Zhou Dafu washed the mud off his hands, then walked into the room, sat at the head of the dining table, and raised his hand for everyone to eat.
Dishes were brought up from the kitchen one after another, and they looked richer than Chinese New Year. Everyone was too busy to eat a good meal recently, and Wang Xier was not stingy. Stir-fried bamboo shoots with bacon, shredded pork and mushrooms, braised pork ribs, and finally Zhou Qing old duck soup.
"Well, this soup is delicious." Zhou Dafu sighed in admiration when he smelled the old duck soup just out of the pot.
The smell of this old duck soup just out of the pot is sealed in the soup. If you don't get close, you can't smell it at all.If this is not on the table, the aroma of the whole table will be compared.
"Unexpectedly, it was done by Brother Qing." Wang Xier patted Zhou Dafu on the shoulder behind his back and said with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad." Zhou Dafu filled a bowl of soup, and after taking a sip, he was full of praise: "Our family, Zhou Qing, can open a shop with his skills."
"You taught me." Zhou Dafu took another sip and smiled at Tang Qing. As far as he knew, his son knew him best. It was impossible for Zhou Qing to have this skill. The only possibility was that Tang Qing would teach him by hand. from.
"Father, you guessed wrong. I can't teach such a good skill. This is all figured out by Zhou Qing." Tang Qing denied with a smile.
"Ha-ha-ha." Hearing Tang Qing's refusal, Zhou Dafu smiled brightly. Who doesn't want his son to be successful, even a little progress can be shown to others for a long time.
"Father, don't just drink the soup, you can also eat a la carte, your daughter's cooking is not bad." Zhou Xiaohua watched Zhou Dafu just drink the soup made by Zhou Qing, and gave him a dish with chopsticks.
Zhou Dafu stuffed some food into his mouth with a red face, and said happily: "Yes, yes, everything is good, I can do it."
"Second Sister, what did you say about earning money this afternoon?" Zhou Qing remembered what Zhou Xiaohua said in the afternoon after eating halfway through, and forgot about digging bamboo shoots.
Zhou Xiaohua heard Zhou Qing's words and said in a dying state: "I was full of confidence at first, but after drinking your soup tonight, I lost my confidence."
"Second Sister might as well talk about it." Tang Qing became interested when he heard that they were going to make money.
In ancient times, there were very few women like Zhou Xiaohua who wanted to start their own businesses. Most of them regarded their husbands as their gods. When the family was poor, they embroidered and embroidered to subsidize the family. Most of the pressure to earn money relied on men, like Zhou Xiaohua. There are very few people who want to make money this way, but there are.
"I originally wanted to make some food and sell it in the town, but compared with my younger brother's soup, I feel that my craftsmanship is ashamed." Zhou Xiaohua was a little discouraged, she always said such thoughts without thinking, Now I can't wait to slap myself twice.
Let your mouth be quick, it's embarrassing now, if you say such an unrealistic thing in front of the whole family, you will probably laugh out loud.
But today her embarrassing thing did not happen, Tang Qing put down his chopsticks and said to Zhou Xiaohua: "Second Sister, your idea is very good, as long as the food you cook tastes good and is novel, you can definitely make money."
Tang Qing was very supportive. They themselves were hardworking and smart, and the things he made were clean after seeing them. They would definitely do it if they sold them.
Zhou Xiaohua waved her hands again and again: "No, no, no, I was just thinking wildly."
How could Zhou Xiaohua dare to answer at this time, her face was red and red, thinking of her nonsense and self-confidence in the afternoon, she was slapped in the face before the whole night passed.
Embarrassed, she had no choice but to pinch her husband to relieve her embarrassment.Liu Mumeng was suddenly pinched by Zhou Xiaohua, his face was flushed, there were so many people in the room who didn't dare to show any strangeness, so he could only pretend that nothing happened.
Tang Qing's eyes are so shrewd, he immediately saw the tricks of the couple, the corner of his mouth twitched and said: "I have a question, do you want to listen to the second sister?"
Zhou Qing also saw Zhou Xiaohua's embarrassment, and kicked Tang Qing's foot vigorously under the table to tell him not to talk, but it was still a step too late.
"I want to listen, I want to listen." Of course, Zhou Xiaohua would not miss it. She has been more assertive since she was a child. If Tiantian hadn't been ill for the past two years, she really couldn't hold her head up in front of her relatives, and she wouldn't be so cowardly.
It is said that being a mother is strong, and she wants to be strong now.Tiantian was sick and his family couldn't afford even ten taels of silver. He begged his grandpa to sue his grandma everywhere, and even sold an acre of land to make up the money.
Her Tiantian is still young and weak, if she doesn't save some dowry, she will be bullied to death when she goes to someone else's house.Tiantian will be better off only if she is strong, and she won't get sick so that the family can't get a penny out of it.
Liu Mu is an elm lump again, let him do his job, he doesn't have the brains to do other things, his limbs are strong and his mind is simple, so it's good not to be deceived by others.
Zhou Xiaohua also thought about finding a job. Firstly, Tiantian is still too young, and secondly, there are not many female workers who want to work. After thinking about it, let it go. She can earn some money by doing a small business, Tiantian She can still watch herself.
"I'm opening a pharmaceutical factory, but I don't provide meals here. If the second sister wants to do something, she can start from this aspect." Tang Qing just gave Zhou Xiaohua a hint, and let him think about the rest.
Since you want to start a business, you have to learn how to develop your own thinking. If he says everything, this is not called starting a business, but she is working for him.
"Food? Pharmaceutical factory?" Zhou Xiaohua lowered her head in thought and stopped eating.Others at the dinner table did not dare to make too much noise for fear of disturbing her thinking.
Zhou Xiaohua was thinking about how to make money in a pharmaceutical factory, and how it was related to food.The first thing she thought of was that most of the people recruited by this pharmaceutical factory were from the village, and it was impossible to buy food because they were so close to each other.
It’s not enough to focus on the outer villages. There are only [-] people in the outer villages, and many of them will definitely bring their own dry food, and they will definitely not come to buy food.
She couldn't figure out what Tang Qing was thinking. She was scratching her ear and looking for a sachet on Liu Tiantian's body. She slapped her thigh and said, "Brother-in-law, you want me to open a sachet in your pharmaceutical factory?" Grocery store, sell some food by the way."
Tang Qing was a little surprised. He originally wanted her to contract the food in the pharmaceutical factory. He originally planned to subsidize one hundred Wen per person for food. It is inconvenient for people to go back and forth far away from home, but we can't let them eat dry food every day.
The people in the village don't have good food, so it's better to use this method to improve their food and gain a good reputation. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiaohua came up with such a good method in another way.
Tang Qing thought about it for a while and felt that this was feasible. First of all, there is no shop similar to a small shop in the village. Sometimes everyone lacks something, and the owner collects it, and the west family borrows it. They will buy it back and return it when they go to the next market.
Once again, Tang Qing opened this pharmaceutical factory and gathered so many people. If everyone earns money, they must have a place to spend it, and it is too far away from the town.
At this time, if there is a small shop, everyone will want to buy everything they see, and it is next to the pharmaceutical factory, so they can pick up what is missing at home after get off work, that would be great.
"Second sister is really smart, she came up with this idea right away." Tang Qing stroked his train of thought and praised Zhou Xiaohua.
"It's just that I'm going to trouble you again." Tang Qing had already been troubled a lot with Tiantian's affairs, and Zhou Xiaohua really felt ashamed to rely on him this time.
"It's not troublesome." Tang Qing felt that she had done nothing, everything was thought up by herself, and she refused to admit it.
"Well, you will get half of the store's profit, and you can't refuse." Zhou Xiaohua really couldn't find anything to repay, so she gave Tang Qing half of the store's profit, so that she could take the rest at ease.
Tang Qing wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Zhou Qing.Zhou Qing knew that his family couldn't just refuse, and he didn't know when the favor would be repaid all the time, so he accepted Zhou Xiaohua's proposal.
Seeing that they agreed, Zhou Xiaohua felt much more at ease, and thought about how to borrow money from her relatives when she went back.
"Sister, if you're okay, come and contract the canteen of this pharmaceutical factory." Zhou Xiaohua's side was fine, and Tang Qing brought the topic back to the canteen.
"Canteen? What do you mean?" Zhou Dahua was eating, and Tang Qing asked him, but he still didn't come back to his senses. Didn't he talk to his sister, why did he turn to himself again?
Tang Qing explained the idea of the cafeteria to Zhou Dahua. Zhou Dahua listened with great interest, but she was not as forthright as Zhou Xiaohua and dared not agree.
"I'm sure I can't do it. You should look for someone else." Zhou Dahua still refused after hearing this. This pharmaceutical factory can be said to be the brainchild of his younger brother and husband. It would be a serious crime if he messed up his plug.
Zhou Xiaohua stomped her feet, and said anxiously: "Sister, just promise, you are so careful, and the food you cook is delicious, no matter how bad it is, I will help you."
"Look, if you build this cafeteria, I'll buy something in the town and I'll get it back for you. My brother also has a freezer at home to store some meat and vegetables in summer. I can do it if you're usually busy alone. How nice to help you." Zhou Xiaohua gave Zhou Dahua a clear analysis.
"If it's someone else, I won't help her. We two sisters can talk to relieve boredom when we are together. This cafeteria is also related to my brother's hard work. It's better to have a big sister than others."
Zhou Dahua was about to be dizzy by what she said, looking at her parents, hoping that the two elders would give her an idea, but Zhou Dafu didn't look at her at all, and Wang Xier also turned her head to one side, resolutely ignoring the matter.
"Sister, don't hesitate, just do it, if you really can't do it, you can change people." Tang Qing said with a nail hammer at the end.
"I... well, if I can't do it, you can change." Zhou Dahua really couldn't hold them back and had to agree first. In fact, she was still eager to try, but she was always worried that this would not work well or that would not work well. contradiction.
"That's the deal." Tang Qing was relieved when he finalized the canteen. He had already figured out that if no one took over, he would not open the canteen.
But when he thought that there would be 200 people eating dry food every day, he felt a little uncomfortable.No matter how delicious dry food is, you can't eat it every day. If you eat it for a year or two, you will always have problems, especially if it is hot in summer, what if you get food poisoning?
Whether or not his pharmaceutical factory will be opened, so it is better to spend some money to build a canteen, and it can kill two birds with one stone.
"Sister, I can only give you 50 taels of silver per month, three meals a day, as for these three meals, you can do whatever you want, and you will earn the rest."
50 taels of silver, the pharmaceutical factory has to recruit a total of [-] workers, which means that each person only has [-] taels of food per month.
Zhou Dahua nodded. She has a sense of proportion in her heart. She can't lose face to her brother-in-law, and she can't do too badly. It's fine, and the money should be controlled within a certain range. If someone who doesn't understand oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea This price must be a loss.
Zhou Dahua went back and had a good time thinking about it. Zhou Xiaohua would buy rice noodles with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar. She could bring a copy of these to her sister when she discussed with her to see if she could buy them.Finally, there are meat and vegetables. The vegetables are good and they can save a lot of money by growing them at home, and they can buy them from the village if they can't afford them.
Acquisition was the last way Zhou Dahua thought of. The best plan in her mind was to let her relatives grow a variety of vegetables, and it was best not to grow the same in each family. When she wanted it, she could just buy it.
She thought so, so she talked to all the relatives, so that it can also drive the income of the relatives, and by the way, let everyone raise more chickens, ducks, pigs, etc., so that all problems will not be a problem.
After Tang Qing learned about it, he had to marvel at the wisdom of the ancients. He just made a suggestion, but they can quickly bring about a circle of economy. Everyone can earn money. Those who grow vegetables and raise pigs can sell them to the cafeteria. Those who are able to work can come to work in the pharmaceutical factory, and everyone is satisfied, which Tang Qing did not expect at first.
Recently, the most proud person in the village is the village head. The other villages rushed to give him gifts, hoping to give him more places in the pharmaceutical factory. Everyone in the village also praised him as the village head. He is not as decadent as before, he is very happy in his heart.
He drank small wine and meat all day long, and even gained a little weight. Thinking that his three sons had all gone to Tang Qing's pharmaceutical factory, Tang Qing was immediately promoted to management when he heard that they could read and write. The minimum is five yuan a month, and his three sons are one or two and a half.
One or two halves can buy as many things as you can eat meat for a month, so he is very happy.
Everything was done in the pharmaceutical factory, and everything needed in the factory had to be done before Cheng Ziyu's medicinal materials arrived.
As soon as the medicinal materials arrived, there were dozens of large boats, all of which were urgently needed. Tang Qing hired dozens of horse-drawn carriages to take them back to the village day and night. Empty.
On the opening day, Tang Qing set off a few firecrackers to settle the matter hastily. He was really out of money, and his pocket was cleaner than his face. Zhou Qing almost pawned his gold bracelet, but fortunately Tang Qing stopped it in time. This thing should not be kept as a family heirloom.
"I didn't say I'm going to die. You can get money to redeem it after you get a job." Zhou Qing touched the gold bracelet and felt a little bit reluctant. It was given to Tang Qing when he was hired, and he never dared to bring it out. Afraid of losing it, now that I am so short of money, I have to take him out to pay for it.
"It's good to get through this period of time, but this is not to be left to your daughter-in-law or daughter in the future." Tang Qing firmly disagreed, and Zhou Qing had no choice but to let it go.
"Crackling ~ crackling ~ crackling."
After the sound of firecrackers was over, Tang Qing even skipped the ribbon-cutting. He couldn't even pay for a piece of red cloth, and his relatives lent them clean. Thoughts.
I said a few words of blessing to everyone, which means that the pharmaceutical factory is officially open. The magistrate of the government is very talkative. Ying Linfeng said hello before. Secondly, Tang Qingzhou has made great achievements in killing the robbers. With a good impression, Tang Qing will do it The formalities were not stuck at all, and it was passed immediately. Sure enough, there are people up there who are easy to handle.
"Congratulations, I wish Tang Dong's family a happy opening and a lot of money."
Everyone's blessings are endless, and even the title has been changed to Dongjia. It's no longer like your kid before, and your kid's name is a lot of respect.
"Let's make money together."
Tang Qing also bowed his hands to everyone and said, after all, they are still relatives in the same village after the name has changed.
The list of people who came to the pharmaceutical factory was given to him by the village head. He didn't go to recruit workers. He just asked the village head to draw up the list and send it to him. Anyway, in Tang Qing's eyes, it didn't matter who would do it.
"Stealing, fishing in troubled waters, bad conduct, don't want to make trouble." But not everyone will accept it, otherwise everyone will think Tang Qing is stupid, easy to bully, everyone wants to step on his feet, this soft and hard talent It is benevolent.
"I promise you that there will be no such person." The village chief assured Tang Qing, patted his chest.
Tang Qing saw that the village chief was pleasing to the eye, and he trusted him quite a bit. Before, he was given two hundred places for people from outside the village, and he was quite smart. He took these places to discuss with the village chiefs of other villages for more Planning some benefits, of course, he himself did not suffer.
Taking people's money to eliminate disasters for others, the village chief took advantage of Tang Qing and naturally made everything look good for him.
Tang Qing thinks highly of this village, if those people in the village don't know what is good and what is wrong and insist on doing evil, then don't blame him for being ungrateful.
Zhoujia Village has been poor for so many years, and finally came a chance to make a fortune. If some people make people feel cold, he, the village head, is not just a show.
As the head of a village, only when the village is strong can he be more stable as the head of the village.
I was still worried that someone would make trouble, so I specially called some people who were usually disobedient to discipline and had a good talk, and I went to their homes over and over again to do ideological work with their families.
When others heard that their sons had the opportunity to enter the pharmaceutical factory, they all geared up to beat up their disobedient and useless sons, and many of them who were wronged were also beaten.
What's more, thinking of his own son's incompetence when he was a child, he was also sneaked out and beaten up. The man was in his thirties and his father beat him around the room with tears in his eyes. He didn't know what he did wrong. .
After the beating, the old man went to another house to brag about how much his son had changed after being beaten, how obedient he was, and it also tickled the hands of other old people. When he came home and saw his son, he couldn't help beating him After a meal, a vigorous son-beating movement was launched in the village like this.
Every evening, the sons of a family would be whipped. Five 60-year-old men would chase their 30-year-old sons all over the yard with shoe soles or thorns.The other neighbors have already prepared melon seeds, tea and tea outside the yard to watch the show, and they still comment from time to time.
"The village is very lively recently." Tang Qing wandered around the village for the past few days, and he could always see many people gathering in twos and threes to discuss something, and occasionally some laughter could be heard from the village.
Tang Qing's house was not very close to the village, so he usually had to shout loudly to be heard.
Zhou Qing rolled his eyes at Tang Qing, and told him what happened in the village. Tang Qing was overjoyed after hearing this.
"You can't blame me for this matter. If you want to blame, you can blame the village head." The village head took the blame at random, and he didn't take the blame anyway.
On the eve of the opening, the village chief was so worried that he even called the whole village together for a meeting.
"Tang Qing in our village is about to open a pharmaceutical factory. Everyone knows how important this matter is to our village. I won't say anything else. You must work hard and listen to Tang Qing. He told you Do whatever you want, or you won’t even think about getting paid.”
"If anyone still wants to do evil in there and get caught and lose face for our village, I don't care about it. When the time comes, they will be expelled from the village and no one will be able to intercede." The village chief has been a little worried about this matter recently. , The Erliang meat that has just been raised has lost weight again.
"This pharmaceutical factory is not only for people from our village, but also people from several nearby villages. Don't be ashamed in front of people from other villages."
The people below didn't take it seriously when they heard other words, but their faces changed when they heard words such as expelling the clan and driving out of the village.
How important a family is!If you are expelled from the family, the government will automatically consider you a refugee, and people from other villages will not take you in, let alone guide you, or you will die, or you will have to live in the mountains and forests with wild beasts, without clothes Clothes, no food to eat, no prey can only die.
If Tang Qing didn't come through the soul, but came here in the flesh, even Zhoujia Village would not be able to enter.
