Jiang, who advocates hands-on work in everything, was the first to stand up and object: "Running a workshop? I don't think I need it, do I? In fact, with 2,000 catties of fans a day, our own family suffers a little, and we can still ......"

"Mother, if it's just a day or two, and we see the sky as a fan of two or three thousand catties, we can grit our teeth and get through. This is a long-term contract, and it has to be done for at least three months, and it is all up to our family to do it ourselves, how can we bear it? And my proposal is not all to reduce the burden on our family, but more to let those villagers who take the initiative to stand up to help our family today, but their own families are still struggling under the poverty line to get out of the predicament. ”

Zhao Siniang explained carefully: "Don't look at the fans, they only sell for seven cents a catty, thousands of catties, and the profit here is still huge, so we can afford to pay these villagers to come to our workshop to work." This salary is not too eye-catching, just like what Su wrote on the dock, giving forty yuan a day. However, in addition to wages, at the end of each month, our family will distribute dividends to the villagers according to the business situation in the workshop. It's hard to say how much, but I believe that if it goes well, I dare not say that it will make them worry about food and clothing, but at least it will keep these kind people fed and clothed. ”

As soon as these words came out, Old Man Jiang's heart was shocked, how poor this Jiang Jiatan is, there is no one present who knows better than him.

Since the inability to go to sea, many families in the already poor small fishing village have fallen into a desperate situation, and Mr. Jiang has personally seen several families extinct because of hunger. It is true that although Jiangjiatan is poor, most of the villagers still retain a kind heart, and they want to reach out to help them when they see those who can't get by, but they are really powerless. Although the villagers have done their best to save people, but they did not let those people starve to death, but under the perennial hunger, the vast majority of them still did not survive. How unacceptable and inexplicable it is that someone would die of hunger in a good year!

The other family members may not be as deeply touched as Old Man Jiang, but they are kind-hearted and they don't say anything against it again.

On this day, the lunch sent by the Zhao family to the Jiang family on the construction site was particularly sumptuous to reward the helpers who were running back and forth in the morning.

After taking the shop. Old Man Jiang led Zhao Yongzhong, Zhao Sanlang and Zhao Siniang, and brought thank-you gifts to the people who came to the shop to help today.

The kind-hearted old man Jiang and Zhao Yongzhong also included those poor families who helped the Jiang family in the list of thanks, but in fact, this went against Zhao Siniang's original intention. Zhao Siniang believes that the two groups of people who "take the initiative to come" and "passively invite" should be treated differently, and she asked Zhao Sanlang to invite them. Instead of coming over on their own initiative, it is enough to add a few more dishes to them and pay more wages, and there is no need to come to the door to thank them in person. However, after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Siniang did not dissuade her.

After thanking them, a group of four people came to Lizheng Jiang Wu's house.

Lizheng's family Ding Buwang, although Jiang Wu also had many sons, most of them died early, and now only the youngest son is left. The youngest son's name is Jiang Baosheng, just like his father. is also ranked fifth in the clan, nicknamed Jiang Xiaowu.

Jiang Baosheng is 28 years old this year, and his family also married him a daughter-in-law ten years ago, but the new daughter-in-law died less than a year after marrying Jiangjiatan, and she never left him a son and a half daughter. since. Although Jiang Wu and his wife were actively preparing to remarry a daughter-in-law for him, he was disheartened and had already stopped thinking of starting a family, rejected the kindness of the old couple, and kept playing single.

In the past few years, Jiang Baosheng has been working as a partner in the Fulai Restaurant in the town, because he is really afraid of his father's forced marriage, he stays in the accommodation arranged by the restaurant for his partner on weekdays, and only comes back every ten days and half a month. Therefore, Jiang Baosheng was among the people who came to Zhao's shop this morning. Old man Jiang and his entourage naturally did not come to thank him, in fact, they were discussing with Li Zheng about setting up a fan workshop in the village.

is very different from Zhao Siniang's original intention, the workshop proposed by Mr. Jiang is no longer the private workshop of Zhao and Jiang's two families, but the public workshop of Jiangjiatan.

Zhao Jiapu planned to lend the 100 taels of silver borrowed from Su Ji Trading House to the village, and the village would come forward to set up a workshop, so that the workshop would be on the right track in the future. After the funds are returned, the silver money will be returned to Su Ji. At the end of the year, the profits from the workshop are distributed to every household in the village.

When Li Zheng heard this, he was inexplicably moved, and held Old Man Jiang's hand tightly, unable to speak for a long time.

The technique of making vermicelli is said to have originated in Ningguo. That's the first in Youzhou. Although it is not a book of profits, the huge profits contained in it can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Zhaojiapu has both technology and capital, plus Su Ji Commercial Bank as the backstage, so he does it alone at all, and he doesn't have to share a piece of the pie with others at all. And now they actually want to give all the money to the village for such a profitable business, how can this benevolence and this mind not be touching?

The fair and kind Jiang Wu subconsciously wanted to refuse, he couldn't take advantage of others for nothing! He hesitated when he thought of the poor jingle villagers in the village. Although there was a high yield of sweet potatoes last year, many villagers are no longer hungry, and they have never heard of anyone starving to death. There are still many people in the village who are not clothed, which makes him feel sad and guilty as Lizheng.

Jiang Wu thought about it again and again, and finally decided to accept the kindness of the Zhao and Jiang families with a cheeky face, but he secretly decided in his heart that he must call on the whole village to help the two families more in the future.

Jiang Wu, as Lizheng, can be regarded as the biggest "official" in Jiangjiatan, and basically no one will refute what he said in the village. But he has never been an arbitrary person, and he felt that running a workshop was a major matter related to the livelihood of the whole village, and it could not be decided by him alone, so he took the initiative to invite all the respected village elders of Jiangjiatan to discuss together.

It has to be said that there are many people and great strength, and the big guys sit together to discuss, and quickly sort out the various matters of the workshop one by one, and even take many details into consideration one by one.

The fan workshop was eventually settled in an uninhabited old house in the village, and the owner of the old house was the one who sold the land to the Jiang family. The family couldn't stand the poverty of Jiangjiatan, so the family went to seek refuge with relatives in the county town, and the land was sold to the Jiang family, but no one bought the house, so the house was always empty.

The family received help from wealthy relatives all year round, so his house was quite spacious. Although the house is not a blue brick house, it is also made of mud bricks, and the corners of the walls are made of pebbles, which is very strong and moisture-proof.

In addition, the house is not far from the entrance of the village, and the path in front of the door leads directly to the entrance of the village and is close to the official road. Although the road in Jiangjiatan is in disrepair, this section of the road is relatively smooth, and there should be no major problem in transporting goods.

Even better, there were several families around the house to prevent ill-intentioned people from coming to the workshop. However, out of prudence, the village elders decided to arrange strong villagers to patrol to ensure the safety of the workshop.

As for the manpower arrangement in the workshop, after Zhao Siniang briefly introduced the production process, everyone unanimously decided that in addition to the heavy physical work such as mixing powder and leaking powder, the other work should be given priority to select people from people with difficult family backgrounds and no strong labor to do it.

It is worth mentioning that although the Zhao Jiang family has repeatedly expressed that they are willing to give the vermicelli to the village free of charge, the completed vermicelli workshop is completely regarded as a public workshop in the village, and their own family members only need to share the dividends with the villagers at the end of the year, without any other returns, but the kind-hearted Jiangjiatan people still unanimously decided to share fifty percent of the profits of the workshop to Zhaojiapu. Old man Jiang couldn't resign, and after some humility, he finally decided to accept 20% of the profit.

During the whole discussion process, everyone continued to praise the benevolence and righteousness of the Zhao and Jiang families, and the old man Jiang said humble words while showing a bright smile from the bottom of his heart. Only Zhao Siniang smiled a little reluctantly, with a hint of bitterness.

Zhao Siniang can't say that she is selfish, but she is by no means a pure good person, even if she does good deeds, she is utilitarian and always has some inconvenient purposes. Therefore, it is difficult for people who really know her to think that she would give up such a profitable workshop to her, who pursues the principle of "small family first and then everyone".

Indeed, when Old Man Jiang took the lead in proposing to hand over the fan recipe to the village and unconditionally support the village-run workshop, she resolutely refused to agree.

At that time, the old man Jiang persuaded hard: "Siniang, in fact, in addition to the villagers who took the initiative to come to our shop to help today, there are still many villagers in our village who are not full of food and clothing. Don't talk about it far away, let's just talk about Liu Shengrong, a kid who is helping our family now......"

Without waiting for Old Man Jiang to finish speaking, Zhao Siniang interrupted him and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to say it, I know all this." ”

How could Zhao Siniang not know the details of this Liu Shengrong? She helped draw up the list of those who helped her in her house, and she knew their family situation very well.

She knew that this Liu Shengrong and his father died at sea, and his mother subsequently remarried, all relying on the old Liu Tou and his old couple to bring him up and his younger siblings. This old Liu Tou was able to go to the dock to move goods for people a few years ago, but it is estimated that he was injured by carrying the goods, and a fist-sized sarcoma actually grew on his back, so the livelihood of moving goods was cut off, and the family was almost in a desperate situation.

I used to be incapable, but now that I have some spare money in my hands, the kind-hearted old man Jiang and his wife once took Mi to visit Lao Liu Tou's family, but only Lao Liu Tou and Liu Shengrong came out to receive them. It's not that his family doesn't know how to be polite, it's actually that only the two of them are neatly dressed in the family, and the others are not well-dressed, hiding in the house and being ashamed to see people.

The early spring in Youzhou was not warm at all, in such a biting cold wind, Zhao Siniang had seen Liu Shengrong wearing only a pair of patched single pants, and had heard with his own ears that this was the most decent pants in his family, and his younger siblings did not have pants to wear, and their legs were frozen like carrots.

Such a sour scene, how could Zhao Siniang not be moved? She immediately gave birth to a heart of relief, so she asked Liu Shengrong, a half-grown child, to come to her house to help.

It's just that since ancient times: "Saving the emergency is not helping the poor", Zhao Siniang thinks that Old Man Jiang's idea of "helping the world" is not taken.
