Chapter 378: Big Event
Qiduo smiled lightly in the face of the curious inquiries of the two sisters.
Then she took out a few pieces of paper from her sleeve cage and handed them to Erxia, "Sister, this is the process of squeezing sesame oil, you can put it away, and then you can let Kang Kee Oil Mill produce sesame oil." ”
"Duo, I heard you say that sesame oil is very rare, not only can it be used for cold dishes, as a dipping sauce, if you can add some sesame oil when making some pastries, the pastries will be more fragrant, isn't this sesame oil?" Erxia asked.
"Well, that's right, big sister, you're really smart. The huge place of the Kangjia oil mill is only squeezing rapeseed oil, which is a pity. It just so happens that there is very little supply of sesame oil in the market, and if it is squeezed out, it will definitely be able to buy it at a good price. Qiduo nodded seriously.
Originally, she was going to produce it at home, but after talking to Mr. Xu about the cooperation last time, she didn't want to be distracted to do it anymore, so she could run Luhuapo and the sauce shop with peace of mind, and then expand the scale a little.
So, she discussed with her parents and wrote down the production process of sesame oil to Erxia, which can be regarded as a dowry for her mother's family.
In the future, after sesame oil brings great profits to the Kang family, Erxia's position in the Kang family will be more stable.
As for the sales of sesame oil, Qiduo doesn't have to worry at all.
If the Kang family has a sales channel, it is the best, if not, she will help.
Now that she has the Xu family as a solid backing, her heart is more steady.
Anyway, everything she did was just for the eldest sister to live a better and happier life in the Kang family.
"Duo, you can't ask for such a precious thing, you keep it. The family has harvested a lot of sesame seeds this year. It can be used to make sesame oil. Wait for the oil to be made. You can bring it to Kang Kee to help sell it. Erxia didn't understand her sister's intentions, and suddenly felt that the paper in her hand was heavy, and her heart was filled with emotion, and she hurriedly stuffed the paper back into Qiduo's hand.
"Silly sister, what I said is for you, you don't have to worry about it at home, in fact, I still have a lot of ways to squeeze oil. It's not like you don't know what's going on at home right now, and you're very busy. I don't have the time to do this again. Oil extraction is not so simple, you have to make tools or something, it is very troublesome, and the Kang family is very familiar with this.
Eldest sister, you put it away, for the time being, you can tell the Kang family that you can pick a more suitable time to take it out. Qiduo held Erxia's hand and said softly.
Through her observations in these days, she found that the business of the Kang family's grain and oil shop is very prosperous. But after all, the variety of things sold is too single, and it can only maintain the previous level. There won't be much of a future.
If the Kang family wants to become bigger and stronger, as long as they continue to develop new varieties, they can always be invincible.
But how to develop this new variety is the most critical.
Qiduo believes that the problem that he can see, Master Kang must also see it, and it is inevitable that he will mention this problem at home in the future.
When he talked about the development of new varieties, Erxia took out this recipe again, which was far better than her taking it out directly.
At the insistence of Qiduo and the persuasion of Liuju, Erxia accepted it with red eyes.
Liuju found a delicate little box and packed the papers.
Time flies quickly, there is still half a month to go before the New Year, and the academy is also on holiday.
Xu took six oranges and seven flowers to prepare for the New Year's gift.
This is the first year after the separation, and it is also the first time that the Xu family has prepared a gift for the New Year.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the New Year's gifts were prepared by the Zhao family, and when it was the first month, the daughters-in-law would bring their respective gifts back to their parents' homes. And the return gift given by the mother's family naturally returned to the hands of the Zhao family.
At this time, the Xu family is the most sad time, because she has no mother's home to go.
The Zhao family didn't need to prepare a gift from the Xu family back to his parents' house, but he couldn't receive the Xu family's return gift.
This year is different, releasing the old suspicions with my father, reliving the joy of family, and going back to see my father for the first time in thirteen years, this gift is even more heavy.
"Duo, Xing, look at who is missing, grandfather's side, there is, Aunt Shen's house, there is, your aunt's house, grandma's house. Oh, by the way, and Aunt Gui Rong's side, although your eldest brother-in-law is going to come back to pay us New Year's greetings, but your sisters are also going to pay New Year's greetings to Aunt Gui Rong, and this gift is not missing. Xu muttered as he wrote the list.
"Mother, and Dr. Ge from Fenglin Hall, we also have to prepare a gift, or the ancient county order, this gift is a lot. By the way, my grandfather also said last time that the county order of Wangsong County will take me to meet me during the Chinese New Year, and we must prepare this gift in advance. And those who have business dealings with our family, we also have to prepare some gifts, not heavy, but the gifts must be there, so that the family knows that we value and respect them......
Well, I wonder who else...... Ah, I almost forgot about it. Qiduo said while thinking about it, and suddenly she slapped her head violently, and she was also startled, and she really almost forgot about the big thing.
"What's the big deal?" Xu and Liuju were also taken aback by her.
"It's about to be the Chinese New Year, and I promised to give red envelopes to the workers, how could I forget it. Mother, you and the second sister are busy with this matter, I have to hurry up and discuss it with my father and fourth uncle. "Seven flowers are in a hurry.
Then push the door and hurry out.
Tan Dejin was busy in the sauce shop, and Qiduo found him and whispered about it.
"Yo, this is a big deal, the workers are still waiting, if we don't talk the word, we will really become treacherous. Let's go, let's go to Luhuapo to find your fourth uncle and ask about the situation. Tedjin was also taken aback.
It's really a hundred secrets, and I've been busy with Erxia's family affairs before, so I really forgot about this stubble.
The father and daughter drove the carriage to Luhuapo soon.
At this time, Luhuapo is relatively quiet, and the weather is cold, and the workers are talking in the house.
Tan Debao was chatting with the workers, and when he saw Qiduo's father and daughter, he said with a smile, "Big brother, Qiduo, why are you here?" ”
When the workers saw the seven fathers and daughters, their eyes lit up, and there seemed to be a certain look of expectation on their faces.
Qiduo was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly called Tan Debao out.
Several people went to Tan Debao's room and said what they meant.
"Yes, that's a big deal. But. If you really forget. If there is no movement in a few days, I will definitely warn you. Tan Debao said with a smile, and then he thought about it seriously, thinking about the performance of the workers in the past year.
The reward at the end of the year is naturally calculated according to the performance of the workers on weekdays.
If you perform well, you will be rewarded more, and if you perform well, you will be rewarded less. And the loose and negative, I'm sorry, don't come next year.
"On the whole, these workers are doing well, and I have hardly seen them like the lazy and slippery ones. If you want to say that the credit is the most hardest, it should be Brother Tang, whether it is sunny or windy or rainy, he will insist on inspecting all places every day, and tell me in time when he finds problems. And small balls. Although this kid is not very old, he is quite steady. Don't look at him as a talker, in fact, his brain is very good, and he never made a mistake in what he was told to do.
Among the workers, Fang Zhongyou's performance is more outstanding, especially since he brought his mother and son here, he has worked harder......" Tan Debao carefully analyzed the performance of the workers.
Qiduo listened attentively and took notes from time to time.
After he finished speaking, the three of them began to discuss the appropriate amount of reward for each.
Later, it was unanimously decided that Tang Hu would seal a big red envelope of fifty taels, he had really worked hard this year, and he made a lot of contributions to Luhuapo today.
However, in the past year, the Qiduo family has not treated him badly, in addition to the normal salary, their family's food and clothing are almost all from the Qiduo family.
Every season, he would be used to make a new set of clothes, two new pairs of shoes, and a donkey for him to walk, and the family of four lived in a separate small yard.
He is in charge, and his status is naturally the same as that of other workers, and he is treated well, and others are understandable.
And Tangyuan was given a red envelope reward of fifteen taels, which is also very generous.
Then his wife and daughter also had their own rewards.
"Fourth, Duo, you said, we gave these silver rewards, will the soup steward stop next year, with the silver, maybe he will have other ideas." Tan Dejin said suddenly.
He roughly calculated that over the course of the year, with this reward, Tang Hu's family earned more than 100 taels.
With these hundred taels of silver, you can start some small business.
"Dad, everyone has their own ambitions, if Uncle Tang has such an idea, we will naturally not stop it. However, in my opinion, it is not easy to earn a hundred years of silver a year, whether it is a small business or other things outside. I'm sure Uncle Tang and they will weigh it themselves, don't worry about this! Qiduo smiled and comforted.
She thinks it's less likely that Townhu will leave.
Even if he really has the idea of leaving, at most his wife and children will leave, after all, it is Tang Hu himself who makes the most money.
They might take the money and buy some fields and build a few houses.
"Yes, but Brother Tang is not that kind of person, we are so good to him, he shouldn't leave easily." Debao also said.
"Well, let's not think about this, the workers who perform well, each person will be given eight taels, the average five taels, and the bad ones will be given two or three taels, and then they will be beaten and beaten." Seven Flowers.
Both Teddy and Adam agreed.
Then let Tan Debao tell everyone that on the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the workers went home in the afternoon, and the next day was the Lunar New Year, which happened to worship the ancestors with their families for the New Year.
After discussing all this, it was time for lunch.
As soon as Qiduo heard her stomach screaming in protest, there was a knock on the door.
After opening the door, I found Tang Ling'e standing outside the door.
"Sister E." Seven joyful shouts.
"Qiduo, you're hungry, let's go, go to our place to eat at noon. My aunt and I had already cooked a meal, but we knew you were talking, so we didn't dare to disturb you. Tang Ling'e said with a smile.
Qiduo found that after not seeing each other for a few days, Tang Ling'e had more smiles on her face, and her personality became cheerful.
Seeing her walk out of the shadows, Qiduo was genuinely happy.
For her invitation, Qiduo did not refuse, and went to Fang Zhongyou's house with Tan Dejin and Tan Debao.
The meal was plentiful with fish and chicken.
Since building a new house, many long-term workers who have no land in the middle of the country have taken their wives and children over and started to cook for themselves.
There are vegetables and fruits in the field, and they are provided for everyone to eat for free, but if you want to eat fish, chickens and ducks, you have to spend your own money to buy them.
However, the Qiduo family will also let the big kitchen make meat dishes every once in a while, and then distribute them to the workers.
The fish and chickens on Fang Zhongyou's table today were bought by them with their own money.
Qiduo was not hypocritical, and after smiling and saying that it was fragrant, everyone sat down together and ate happily.
However, while eating, Qiduo noticed that something was not quite right. (To be continued......)
