Farmhouse is so old

It finally opened. On the day of work, Tang Qing was busy assigning positions to everyone. There were [-] people, and there were [-] people from Guangnu and his brother. They were all assigned to the inner courtyard, and the rest of the men were in the outer courtyard.

The courtyard was full of people, discussing something in small groups, and suddenly felt like a noisy vegetable market.

"Cough cough." Tang Qing looked at the dense crowd of people in the yard and coughed, motioning for everyone to quiet down.

"Say a few words." Tang Qing waved his hands like a boss, and continued: "From now on, everyone will be colleagues who work together. We must live in harmony and don't fight or swear. If the root medicinal material is found, it will not be used for work."

"There is also a salary of [-] yuan a month for each person. In addition, the cafeteria also provides three meals a day. You can go to eat after work."

Before Tang Qing finished speaking, everyone started chatting and discussing.

"Three hundred Wen, it's worth finding a good job in the town."

"You didn't hear what my boss said, and you still get a meal."

"Isn't that right? This Tang Qing is really righteous. I can smell meat when you say that."

A few people nearby sniffed vigorously, and there was really a faint smell of meat.

Seeing that the scene was becoming chaotic again, Tang Qing shouted loudly: "Everyone be quiet."

Only then did the people below quiet down, but they were still reminiscing about the smell of meat, wishing they could finish their work and go to the cafeteria to eat their fill.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet. Why are you so anxious? You can't get away from there. I just said that the monthly salary is [-] yuan a month, and there is overtime pay. What is overtime pay? , if we want to rush to work at night, we will pay two cents an hour. Do you hear me clearly?"

Tang Qing explained it very clearly, and he was afraid that they would not understand. If it weren't for the fact that most people here were illiterate, he didn't want to say it. He just wrote a notice instead of yelling here.

"It's clear." A few who understood clearly replied sparsely, and when they saw that the people next to them were still confused, they explained it to them. After a while, everyone understood, and their eyes sparkled.

There is money for working overtime, and everyone is looking forward to working overtime.

"Listen clearly, now listen to my order, the woman and brother enter the inner courtyard, and the man stay where he is." Tang Qing saw that everyone understood, so he stopped talking nonsense.

When the men and women in the yard heard this, they all started to act, and the women lined up with their brother to walk towards the inner courtyard.Tang Qing didn't follow in to avoid suspicion. Zhou Qing, Zhang Lan and Zhou Su were there to help.

"Okay, let's start assigning jobs to you now." Tang Qing took the list given by the village head and began to roll the rolls. Time was running out, and he entered a room when all the people in the posts were called. Just teach them how to operate one by one.

All positions in the pharmaceutical factory are opened according to the assembly line model, and workers are assigned to each room. The positions in each room are different, so that the work efficiency is fast, and technology leakage can also be prevented.

"Have you learned it yet?"

Tang Qing took two medicinal herbs and taught a few men to sort them. These were selected carefully after special observation.

Sorting medicinal materials is very important. If two different medicinal materials are sorted together and the people in the next process do not find out, the consequences will be serious.

Sometimes two medicinal materials that look alike have completely different medicinal properties. In addition, when other medicinal materials are boiled, the curative medicine will immediately become a weapon for killing people, so we must be careful and careful.

"Special attention should be paid to the sorting of medicinal materials. If there is any uncertainty, you should take it out and wait for me to confirm." Tang Qing repeatedly told them the importance of this matter.

Seeing these men nodding their heads heavily, and watching them sorting for a while, without any mistakes, they left this room and went to the next one, and told the people in this room about it. One sound, in case the previous ones are not checked, sort them again when you get here to make sure nothing goes wrong.

Tang Qing didn't even have time to go to the bathroom all morning. He shuttled between various posts, not daring to stop. He waited until the gong sounded before wiping the sweat off his forehead.

It's not easy to be a boss. It's more tiring than being an employee. They all work leisurely in their posts, and they are about to break their legs.

In the cafeteria, Zhou Dahua prepared delicious dishes early on. There are three dishes, one is shredded potatoes, one is fried pork with radish, and the other is sauerkraut. The staple food is coarse grains, millet and sweet potatoes.

Millet is what everyone usually eats, so no one complains. Adding sweet potatoes can make the taste slightly better, and it can also satisfy some people who like to eat sweet potatoes.

Zhou Dahua felt relieved when she saw that no one had any opinions. It was after a long time that she came up with such a way to save money. Millet is cheap, and sweet potatoes are even cheaper. .

As for the meat, she bought pigs in the village that hadn't been slaughtered before, so that she could guarantee a meat dish every day.But it can't be eaten vigorously, at most one teaspoon per person.No matter what, a pig costs two taels of silver, and so many people eat one-third of it in a day.

Zhou Dahua couldn't do it alone, Wang Xi'er, Mrs. Zhang and Zhou Xiaohua all came to help, holding a big spoon to prepare food for everyone.

"There's still soup over there after eating, serve it yourself." Zhou Xiaohua said while ordering dishes for them.

Everyone looked over, and in the corner, there was a big iron bucket filled with bone broth.All the pigs I buy are whole pigs, and the bones are also brought in, and they are used to make soup for everyone.

When Tang Qing came to the cafeteria, everyone ate with great relish. It is not easy to eat meat once at home, but here you can also eat meat and drink soup, happy.

"I haven't eaten yet. I just happen to have some food left."

Zhou Dahua put away all the dishes, and when he saw Tang Qing, he dragged him to the back kitchen.Tang Qing touched his suffocated stomach and was really hungry, so he didn't refuse.

Entering the back kitchen, I saw Zhou Qing, Zhang Lan, Zhou Su and the others were all there: "I said why I couldn't find you, so I came here to eat a long time ago."

Tang Qing looked at the braised fatty sausages, fried pork liver on the table, and the staff outside had fun.

"There is only one pig, how can there be enough pigs?" Wang Xi'er was afraid that Tang Qing would misunderstand, so she explained.

Tang Qing didn't care, as long as he didn't starve his employees, he just went to see them and they were all satisfied.He picked up the bowls and chopsticks, sat down and ate.

"Mom, have you delivered food to Dad and the others?" Zhou Qing remembered that there were still a few children working at home, and his father was still digging the soil in the field.

"I sent it over a long time ago. I was afraid that Tian Tian would not bring it here. Let Zhou Shan and Zhou He watch it. We will send it to them as soon as we are done. It will make them hungry." Wang Xi'er was in the yard before. Seeing that Tang Qing and Zhou Qing were busy walking around outside, they knew that they couldn't take care of them, so they decided to send them there first.

"That's good." Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He was too busy and confused just now, and completely forgot about it. It was only halfway through the meal that he remembered that there were still a group of bastards at home.

"After dinner, let's rest for a while. It's still early to go to work in the afternoon." Tang Qing felt distressed seeing Zhou Qing wolfing down his food. He was in charge of only a few people in the outer courtyard. The more people in the inner courtyard, they must be more tired.

Zhou Qing smiled back at Tang Qing. Instead of feeling tired, he felt very fulfilled. People who had been staying at home before were going to be lazy, and it was interesting to be so busy today.

There were still people in the cafeteria who wanted to take them home to eat. Zhou Dahua didn't say anything when they saw it, but asked them to return their bowls.I thought of this before, the bowls are all custom-made, with the name of Fengqing Pharmaceutical Factory engraved on them, and I am not afraid that they will not return them.

Zhao Chunju is a daughter-in-law from Waicun. This time, she was lucky enough to be selected as an employee of Fengqing Pharmaceutical Factory. I can eat enough, and I can make two new clothes at the end of the year.

But when it was time to eat, looking at the food in her bowl, she couldn't take a bite, thinking that there were still two children in the family who were starving, her heart ached.

The rice tank at home is about to bottom out, and there are still some potatoes and sweet potatoes left in the cellar. Except for the Chinese New Year, the mother and son have never eaten a grain of rice, and usually eat some potatoes and sweet potatoes to pad their stomachs.

After my husband fell and injured last year, all the land in the family was sold to treat him, but he still couldn't survive.With no land and no source, she lived on the only food left in the cellar until the Chinese New Year. She washed clothes for the west family and helped the east family, but she didn't earn a few copper coins.

If Tang Qing opened a pharmaceutical factory to recruit a large number of workers this time, she might not be able to get her turn. When she was most desperate, the village chief came to her house and told her about it. As long as she survived for another month, she would have money to buy food. .

Before leaving the door this morning, two pairs of timid eyes looked at her, Zhao Chunju knelt down and gently touched the heads of the two children: "Xiao Guang, Xiao Yuan, you stay at home obediently, mother will earn food for you gone."

Thinking of those two pairs of expectant eyes, Zhao Chunju couldn't drop the chopsticks, but she didn't dare to take them home by herself. The village chief told her repeatedly that she was not allowed to take anything from the pharmaceutical factory. With tears in her eyes, she found Zhou Dahua and explained her purpose.

Unexpectedly, she agreed. Zhao Chunju was so moved that she wanted to kowtow to Zhou Dahua on the spot, but Zhou Dahua refused.

Holding a big bowl of food in my arms, I trot home.Xiaoguang and Xiaoyuan were very excited to see their mother came back, jumping and laughing when they got up from the ground.

"Come on, let's see what Mother brought back." Zhao Chunju took out a bowl from her arms and put it on the table.Just now she was afraid of running away and kept covering it with her clothes, it would still be hot.

"Meat meat." Xiao Guang was very excited when he saw the meat in the bowl. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and he almost forgot what meat tasted like.

"Wash your hands quickly, let's have dinner." Zhao Chunju patted the ashes off their bodies, fetched water for the two boys to wash their faces and hands.

Take out two small bowls and chopsticks, the two bowls are full.The two boys picked up a piece and put it into their mouths, as if they had eaten some delicacies from mountains and seas, their faces were particularly satisfied.

"Mother, you can eat too." Xiao Yuan ate a few mouthfuls, seeing that Zhao Chunju hadn't moved his chopsticks, he picked up a piece of meat and put it into her mouth.

Zhao Chunju ate it with choked tears: "Eat them all, and my mother will eat too. From now on, my mother will bring food back every day, okay?" The pharmaceutical factory provides three meals a day, even if she doesn't pay wages, she is willing.

Those who have eaten are so close that they all go home to rest, while those from other villages just find a place to rest in the pharmaceutical factory, so it is convenient to wait until the start of work.

After working for a day, everyone is proficient, and they can do it with ease, and there are a few who don't know it, and the people around them can also teach and do it.

There were not many left for dinner in the cafeteria, and they all took it home. After all, the family was not rich, and they didn’t see any meat for a month. There was still two taels of meat in this bowl, and there was plenty of oil , It’s good to take it home to the children and the elderly to taste it.

Tang Qing originally wanted to say that the pigs would grow faster with hogwash, but the plates were all cleaned up, let alone feeding the pigs.

Since this is just the beginning of work, I am afraid that everyone is not used to it, so I will not work overtime today. I will leave work early and let everyone go home to have a good rest. From tomorrow onwards, I will work overtime.

"I'm tired from this day." Tang Qing went home and lay on the bed with a sore waist.

Zhou Qing rubbed his waist for him, and said disdainfully, "It's still tiring. If you were asked to pick manure for two days, wouldn't you be exhausted?"

Tang Qing lay down on his own, not wanting to talk to Zhou Qing at all. The tiredness he said was not physically tired but mentally tired. He was worried all day because he was afraid that someone might not do it well, and he would look through it wherever he went. , to see if there is anything wrong.

In this ancient time, it was troublesome. There was no talent market, and there were no contracts. It was all based on self-consciousness.It is too difficult to find two management talents.

At this moment, I am a little fortunate to have the three sons of the village chief's family here, otherwise I would be busy today, and the three of them can still hold the place. Otherwise, everyone has the same identity. If you don't accept me, I will I don't agree with you.

It's also thanks to the few of them who helped Tang Qing write down the notes, followed behind to make records, and showed Tang Qing to see them after get off work, which saved a lot of Tang Qing's time.

"Fortunately, the eldest sister left us a meal, otherwise we will have to cook when we come back." Zhou Qing massaged Tang Qing for a while, and then made the bed for him after seeing that he was not so weak.

"It's good to have you." Tang Qing grabbed Zhou Qing's hand that was about to spread the quilt, pushed him onto the bed, and rolled onto Zhou Qing's body.

While Zhou Qing wasn't paying attention, he kissed him on the forehead and said softly, "Let's have a baby."

Zhou Qing shyly said "Yes".

The place Tang Qing touched was so hot that it almost burned.As soon as the body softened, it was immersed in it.

Tang Qing didn't want to let him go so easily.He is in good condition today, and he has recovered well recently, and his bones have improved a lot. There is a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, let you see what it means to be a man!

Zhou Qing couldn't stop being teased by Tang Qing, his palms kept flaring in the air, trying to grab something but he couldn't, his body was so hot that he was uncomfortably hot, he was stuck in a haze and didn't know what to do, so he had to open a pair of tears His eyes fixed on Tang Qing.

Tang Qing couldn't stand those eyes anymore, but for the sake of his man's dignity, he held back again.Pan whispered in his ear, "If you feel uncomfortable, just call out."

How could Zhou Qing scream, how embarrassing it is.The voice seemed to be stuck in the throat, and it just couldn't come out.

Seeing that his heat was not enough, Tang Qing himself endured the pain and used all his eighteen martial arts.Finally Zhou Qing couldn't bear the stimulation and started humming.

After tossing for a while, the two hugged each other and fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Xiaohua's shop has finally come to fruition. It is in a room of about twenty square meters at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory. It is full of shelves and stuffed to the brim.

These were all Tang Qing's ideas for her. The pharmaceutical factory was getting on the right track step by step, and he had a lot of free time to help Zhou Xiaohua decorate.

He chose the shelf of the 90s. The wooden boards are nailed to the wall, which can reduce the space and make the room brighter. Some spare things can be placed under the rows of wooden boards.

It is clear at a glance when others come to buy things, and the room is spacious and can prevent others from stealing chickens and dogs.

Another window was opened on the wall facing the road. You can choose things directly on the window without entering the house or disturbing the work of the people inside.

"In this way, the room is much brighter." Zhou Xiaohua looked left and right, and she felt good no matter what she looked at. This was her first time opening a shop, and she borrowed money from her relatives. She even borrowed it from her sister-in-law's family.

At first she was very nervous, but since Tang Qing started to help her, she felt at ease in her heart, since her brother-in-law is so powerful and said that there is no problem, so there is no problem.

She could see that her brother-in-law had a lot of ideas, and she was right to listen to him.

Zhou Xiaohua's shop was full of twists and turns. First, she didn't have enough money. Her family borrowed money, but they might not lend it to her. Second, it was hard to find the source of goods. Tang Qing wrote to Cheng Ziyu if there was no other way. Letter, let him introduce a few grocery merchants to solve the problem.

Thirdly, Mrs. Liu disagreed a little. After all, it is not good for this woman to go out and show her face. If her reputation is ruined, it will not be a second.

Zhou Xiaohua talked earnestly to Mrs. Liu all night before she nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Liu looked at the dark roof of her house, and some black ash would fall from time to time. The beams of the house were a little dry, and two pieces of scorched bark could fall off when the wind blew.

It is true that the house has not been repaired for many years. The house was built when the old man was there. After he left, the house has never been repaired.Since Tian Tian got sick that time, no one in the family cared about these things anymore, they just muddled through, as long as they didn't starve to death or freeze to death, everything would be fine.

After being nagged by Zhou Xiaohua all night last night, Mrs. Liu also lamented that the family seemed to have decayed after the old man left, and no one had been angry for many years.

Look at Zhou Xiaohua's face full of vigor and hard work. Forget it, why bother to be persistent, let these young people try, maybe they will walk out of a bright road.

"Go ahead, try it." Mrs. Liu waved her hand a little tired.

Zhou Xiaohua was overjoyed that her wish had come true, and she said straight: "Thank you mother, thank you mother." If Mrs. Liu disagreed, her shop would not be able to continue. If she opened it by force, someone would poke her back and say she was unfilial, and it would also affect Tang Qing's medicine. factory.

Tang Qing and Zhou Qing finally had a little free time, but they didn't. They still had two acres of land to remediate. Speaking of which, last year they said they would buy land this year. They didn't expect that the plan would change as quickly as they opened a pharmaceutical factory. , who was so poor that he didn't even have a copper plate.

"When our pharmaceutical factory earns money, we can buy land. It's better to build a green brick house." Tang Qing helped Zhou Qing dig out the quilts from last winter and take them outside to dry.

Winter is over, cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded quilts and cotton-padded shoes are taken out to be washed, sun-dried, wrapped in oilcloth, and placed in a cabinet to prevent them from getting wet or being gnawed by mice.

"Come on." Zhou Qing pulled the cotton bed out of the quilt, and the quilt cover was going to be washed: "I don't know how long it will take for the pharmaceutical factory to make money. I don't believe it will be able to make money in this month."

He has learned arithmetic very well now, and Wei Wei knows how much he can earn this month with just one calculation, not to mention that Tang Qing still makes a report every day, saying what is the report, and the expenses and income on it are clear at a glance.

"I'll be able to make money someday." Tang Qing took the cotton bed, folded it up, and placed it neatly on the oilcloth, then wrapped the quilt with the oilcloth, and put it in the cabinet.

As far as the current pharmaceutical factory is concerned, the money earned this month is just enough to pay the salary after the food expenses, but this is only the first month, and the experience and familiarity are not enough. It will be much better in the future, and the income will also increase Followed up.

"Let's go, let's go to the stream and wash all these." Zhou Qing said to Tang Qing with Lou Zi's clothes and the replaced quilt cover.

The two went to the stream together, and they didn't know how long it would take to wash so many things with well water. Zhou Qingguang could pick up water for a day, so it was better to go to the stream to wash, which was more convenient.

Zhoujia Village is because there are mountains that stretch for dozens of miles or even hundreds of miles. No one has to measure the exact number. A small stream is interspersed from the deep mountains.

The water in the stream is clear and bright, and you can see the low soil in the stream. When the breeze blows, there will be circles of water ripples on the water surface. It is very pleasant to see, it is really a beautiful place.

Zhou Qing took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, his fair calf was exposed, and he was about to step into the water.

"I'll try to see if the water is cool first." Tang Qing held him back and reached out to touch the water.Just after noon, the sun was shining and the stream was warm. Tang Qing was relieved and let Zhou Qing go.

Zhou Qing felt very comfortable stepping into the water with his feet, and said with a smile, "How can I be so hypocritical, I used to come here to wash clothes in winter."

Tang Qing turned black: "It used to be the past, but now you just have to learn to pay more attention to your own body, you know?"

Zhou Qing smiled and refused to answer Tang Qing's words.He has been used to it for 20 years, and he still cares about this, but he knows that his husband loves him, so it doesn't take much time anyway, just rely on him.

Tang Qing also imitated Zhou Qing's example, tied up his trouser legs, and squatted in the stream to wash his clothes. Zhou Qing had to wash so many clothes by himself. Rest early.

"You don't need to help, you can just rest." Zhou Qing thinks he can do it alone, Tang Qing's hands are used to do these rough jobs.

"Washing two pieces of clothes won't hurt your hands. You're almost confessing me. I'm your husband. I should pamper you. Just tell me."

Tang Qing was depressed. It was so difficult to be a good old Gong. He slightly bent his middle finger dipped in water, flicked it lightly, and the water splashed on Zhou Qing's face.

"It's a punishment for not cherishing yourself all the time."

Just as Zhou Qing glared at Tang Qing and listened to him again, his heart was so full that he couldn't get angry.Just as I was about to lower my head and continue washing clothes, the corners of my eyes rolled away, and there was a silver light in the creek, as if there was something in it. When I took a closer look, I was overjoyed.

"My husband has fish, and there are fish in the creek." He also came here to wash clothes before, but he never saw fish. Some people were lucky and caught one or two, but his luck has never been bad, and he never saw fish. I have never met it before, but this time I saw it, and I couldn't control my excitement.

When Tang Qing saw it, he just wanted to say that it was a fish. As for being so excited, but seeing Zhou Qing's excitement, he tied up his trouser legs and went into the water to fish.

"You are not allowed to come down." Zhou Qing wanted to follow down, but Tang Qing stopped him. Since that time, his body has been very cold, and his hands and feet are cold under the covers at night. How dare he let him down this stream.

"There's a big one behind you." Zhou Qing retracted his protruding foot, and shouted immediately when he saw a big fish behind Tang Qing.

Tang Qing turned around, threw both hands at the fish, and grabbed it hard. The fish wagged its tail and escaped Tang Qing's grasp easily.

"Run away." Seeing that Tang Qing didn't succeed, Zhou Qing was a little disappointed, but the fish didn't run away, but swam to Tang Qing's feet.

Tang Qing was not in a hurry to catch the fish this time, but observed the direction the fish was swimming. After waiting for about 1 minute, he waited for less than ten seconds above the fish that was about to swim, and the fish fell into Tang Qing's body. hands.

"Haha, who told you to be so stupid, you didn't run away, but you ran to my feet. Isn't this a self-inflicted trap? It seems that you are destined to become a delicacy on my dinner table." Tang Qing happily grabbed the fish Walking up to the stream, Zhou Qing brought the laundry basin to fill the fish.

"Yo, it's still a grass carp. I guess it weighs two catties." Tang Qing looked at the fish in the eye basin, and then stared straight into the stream again.

Zhou Qing knew that Tang Qing was still looking forward to some fish coming, but he was lucky to catch one today, and he definitely couldn't catch anything else: "Don't look, it's lucky to have one in this stream."

"This grass carp likes to live in groups, so I must be looking around." Generally, grass carp forage in groups. If you can catch one, there must be others around, but you can't find it.

Tang Qing searched around in the stream, and finally found them in a place of aquatic plants. There were probably seven or eight of them. However, this fish had a lively temperament and a fast swimmer.

Zhou Qing was surprised when he saw that Tang Qingzhen had caught the fish, but then he thought that he lived by the sea and must know the habits of these fish very well, so he was not surprised.

"I haven't eaten fish for a long time. I'll make you fish head soup tonight. How about pickled fish?" Tang Qing said to Zhou Qing, teasing the three fish in the basin.

Zhou Qing took a piece of clothing and handed it to Tang Qing, "Let's wash the clothes first. You said you would wash them with me. I haven't washed a piece yet. I'm going to catch fish."

Tang Qing had no choice but to accompany Zhou Qing to wash the clothes. The cotton clothes in winter became worse when they got wet. Zhou Qing struggled to wring them alone.

He went home with three fish and one Lou Zi's washed clothes. When he got home, Tang Qing hurried to the kitchen to kill the fish. There was nothing more motivation than eating.

Grab a fish and put it on the chopping board, knock it out, quickly remove the scales with the blade, take out the gills, cut a knife on the belly of the fish, and take out the internal organs.Then cut a hole at the head and tail of the fish, and take out the fishy line inside.

Chop off the fish head, wash it, and split it in half from the middle.Tang Qing cut up some onion, ginger and garlic for later use, and Zhou Qing came in just after drying his clothes.

"What's so delicious about this fish head?" Seeing that Tang Qing was preparing to make a fish head, he asked in confusion.There is no meat or anything on the head of this fish, so there is nothing delicious.

"Didn't I just tell you that it was used to make soup, but you didn't listen to it." Tang Qing patiently explained it to Zhou Qing again, and there was really nothing he could do about it.

"How to do it." Zhou Qing became interested when he heard that he could make soup. He loved making soup, but he hadn't made this fish head soup yet.

"Look at it." Tang Qing intended to teach him not to hide it: "The oil in this pot is [-]% hot, and we will put the fish head in the pot and fry until golden on both sides." Tang Qing took Zhou Qing's hand I tested the oil temperature upstream of the pot, and continued: "This temperature is [-]% hot."

Zhou Qing nodded half understanding.

"It's nourishing." After the fish was put into the pot, the oil began to boil, making a loud noise. Zhou Qing was most afraid that the oil would splash at this time, so he couldn't help but took two steps back.

Tang Qing's mouth melted into an arc, and he said in a happy mood: "What are you hiding, the oil is not hot at this time, you can see it splashed on my hand, it doesn't hurt at all." Just holding the pot When the shovel was turned, oil splashed onto the back of Tang Qing's hand.

Zhou Qing came over and tried it, and it really didn't hurt. He said happily, "Hey, it really doesn't hurt."

After frying, put the fish head aside, add green onion and ginger, stir-fry, and put in the water that has covered the fish head.Two handfuls of hay were added under the stove to make the fire more intense.Bring the fire to a boil until the water boils, then use iron tongs (specially made to hold firewood) to hold down the fire, and cook on medium to low heat for about ten minutes.

"Just cook it for a while, have you learned it yet?" Tang Qing asked gently, shaking Zhou Qing's hand.

Zhou Qing shook his head, and said calmly: "I still can't, you were too fast just now, and I was still dazed when the oil temperature was seven minutes."

Hearing what Zhou Qing said, Tang Qing twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay, I can't learn it. I'll be responsible for making it for you in the future."

Tang Qing cut the remaining fish body into pieces, added some rice wine without cooking wine, added pepper, salt, and starch and stirred evenly.

I grabbed a large handful of sauerkraut from the jar in the corner of the kitchen. This sauerkraut was made with bitter mustard greens last year, and it would be perfect for cooking pickled fish.

Put oil in the pot, heat the oil, add ginger and garlic, shredded kimchi, add water to boil, put the fish in the water after boiling, and cook for a few minutes.

The pots at home are one on each side, so cooking two dishes does not take up much space. The pickled fish on one side is ready, and the fish head soup on the other side is also ready.

He took out a basin and put it on the table. Tang Qing handed Zhou Qing a bowl of soup and said, "Try the soup I made and see if it tastes better than yours."

Zhou Qing took a sip and said with bright eyes, "It's so fresh. The fish used to have a fishy smell. How did you make it tasteless?"

"It's enough to remove the fishy thread." Such a simple question should be known to children, but it's not surprising that the ancients didn't pay much attention to these things.

"Oh, so, next time you can teach me how to remove the fishy line." Zhou Qing was very happy while drinking fish soup and eating fish meat.

"I'll teach you how to do it." For such a lovely husband, what else can I do besides pampering her.

At the end of the month, it was time to pay everyone salaries. Tang Qing was doing calculations in the office separated from the pharmaceutical factory. There was no computer but an abacus, but he didn’t know how to do abacus. He had learned two lessons in elementary school. I have forgotten the formula, so I can only write it down.

Everyone has a form with attendance and overtime ticked on it. No one asked for leave this month, or did not work overtime. The monthly salary is 20 yuan and 480 days of overtime work. A total of [-] hours is [-] hours. Full attendance and overtime The monthly salary for overtime work is [-] Wen, and Tang Qing for full attendance is [-] Wen.

The three sons of the village head are all the same except that their monthly salary is different from others, which is 630 Wen.

This month, Cheng Ziyu only paid 300 taels of processing fee except for the damaged medicinal materials, and earned [-] taels of silver after deducting all wages and food.

"Nine taels is not bad. You can buy acres of land in two months." Looking at the account book, Zhou Qing couldn't think of anything else to comfort Tang Qing. After all, if Tang Qing made his own pharmaceuticals for a month, he would definitely earn more than nine taels. silver.

"It's okay, the east room is not bright and the west room is bright." Tang Qing put away the account book and took out Cheng Ziyu's letter from his pocket, saying, "Look, Cheng Ziyu wrote in a letter asking us to make more rheumatism pastes, which are sold in Lingnan area. But it’s hot, there are many barriers over there, and it’s the easiest to get rheumatism.”

"What I mean is that twenty or so people were transferred from the pharmaceutical factory to do this, so that my brother and Lan'er can be relieved. They haven't had a good rest this month." Tang Qing's fingers tapped rhythmically Said with the account book.

Zhou Qing has no objection. Now that the pharmaceutical factory is on the right track, some positions can be completed by one person, so it is nothing to recruit 20 people.

"Let's go and pay them wages." Early this morning, Tang Qing exchanged silver bills for copper coins. There were several large baskets of 300 taels. Fearing accidents on the road, he called Zhang Xing and Liu Mu to transport them back together.

The employees were already excited when they saw so much money, and they are more motivated to do things today. The sooner they are done, the earlier they can be paid, and everyone is watching eagerly.

"Line up, and whoever's name is called will come up to collect the money." It was still in the meeting yard, and the excitement on everyone's faces could not be concealed. They clenched their fists tightly, their faces were flushed, and their eyes were fixed on him. Money basket, I wish I was the first to be called.

"Zhao Chunju." Tang Qing called the first name.

When Zhao Chunju heard that she was so excited that her cheeks and ears were flushed, her face burst into a smile, the corners of her mouth almost rose behind her ears, and she flew to Tang Qing, still on her clothes He rubbed his hands hard.

Tang Qing took out two salary slips and said to Zhao Chunju, "Put a fingerprint on your name at the end of this, which means you have received your salary."

Excited, Zhao Chunju wiped her hands again with the corner of her clothes, pressed the ink pad tremblingly, and then pressed her fingerprints on the two pieces of paper.

Tang Qing gave her a salary slip and the 480 Wen that he had counted earlier, and said: "This string is 480 Wen, so you have to count it clearly. I won't pay any more later."

"Hey." Zhao Chunju took the string of copper coins, counted back and forth twice to make sure they were correct, and then said: "Yes, yes, thank you Tang Dong."

The corners of Zhao Chunju’s eyes were filled with tears when she spoke. The two sons at home relying on the food in the factory have both recovered a lot in the past month. I really don't know how to be grateful for getting so much wages again, and my husband, Yuzhi Izumi, will also feel relieved.

"Okay, you can go home, next one." Tang Qing saw that she was right, so he called another one to come up, and he had to hurry up, otherwise the money would not be distributed until dark.

All those who received their wages were smiling happily, counting their wages happily, counting over and over again, the more they counted, the happier they were.

Zhou Xiaohua is so shrewd. When she saw that everyone was holding money, her eyes lit up, and she immediately started yelling: "Peanut candy is cheap, buy some for the children."

Zhao Chunju happened to pass by, and when she heard Zhou Xiaohua yelling, thinking of the two children at home, she immediately asked, "How much is a catty?"

"Forty Wen a catty, twenty Wen and a half catty." The price of sugar is generally more expensive, so she deliberately added half a catty for fear that she would find it too expensive.

"Come a catty." Zhao Chunju lowered her head and touched the wages in her hands. With confidence, she is also wages now, and she can continue to receive it next month and the next month. Spending some money to buy some candy for the children is nothing.

"Okay." Zhou Xiaohua responded, and quickly weighed a catty of peanut candy for Zhao Chunju.

Others passing by saw that Zhao Chunju had bought a catty of candy, and thought that their own home was much better than hers, so why couldn't they also buy some candy and so on to go home.

Everyone immediately followed suit, buying a catty of sugar on the left and half a catty of oil on the right. Zhou Xiaohua was very happy. The shop was full of people. Seeing that there were still many people coming in to buy things, Zhou Xiaohua Pack faster and collect money without feeling tired at all.

After counting the money in the evening, today I collected 30 taels of silver, minus the principal, and I can still earn two or three taels. This is equivalent to my husband’s wages for working half a year. This is so much work in just one day, plus this In the half month since the opening, the odds and ends add up to four or five taels, which can be worth the crops that have been planted for several years.

"Sister, how much do you earn?" Zhou Xiaohua asked Zhou Dahua curiously as she looked at Zhang Lan who was doing the accounting.

"Let me see how much is left." Zhou Dahua took out a few pieces of silver from her pocket. She was illiterate, and Zhang Lan kept all the accounts. Food, everything else is in my pocket.

Now count how much you have left to know how much money you have earned.
