"Dog, hurry up and grind soy milk, do you want to marry your aunt before the Chinese New Year?"

Zhao Heishan was patrolling the courtyard, he was now the manager of the Liu family's snow salt workshop, and when he saw someone who was lazy, he immediately crackled and scolded.

At this time, Zhao Erhu was grinding soy milk, and he was scolded by Zhao Heishan just to take a breath, and he had to quickly turn the grinding plate desperately.

"Uncle Black Mountain~"

Liu Jin came to the courtyard and watched the Zhao family braving the heavy snow and busy, all of them already had a layer of snow on their bodies, they were still busy, and they had no intention of resting.

"I think let's take a break, it's just time that my family's rice is cooked, let's have a meal at my house together."

"Brother Jin, how can this work, your family is not a landlord and an old rich family, how can you eat at your house every day, my family's meal is almost ready, after this is done, we will also go back to eat."

Seeing Liu Jin, Zhao Heishan's dark face finally had a smile.

In just over a month, snow salt has also been sold in 2 batches, and with the money earned by snow salt, Zhao Heishan's family has also changed shotguns.

If it was the past years, this time was the time when he Zhao Heishan was most worried.

In the winter, it was a snowy day, and there was basically nothing to do, but there were still more than ten mouths in the house to feed, plus the cold weather, winter clothes, heating firewood, charcoal fire, etc., these things were enough to make him gray hair.

Of course, not only Zhao Heishan, but also the entire Xiahetun, every winter, is also the time when the children in Xiahe Village are beaten the most.

Adults who are sad and sad, worried about the next meal, and worried about the winter, have a very irritable temper, and will beat children and wives at every turn, and the cries of children and mothers-in-law almost cover the entire winter.

But now it's different.

Everyone in Zhao Heishan's house was wearing brand-new, brand-new cotton clothes, very warm, and their faces were ruddy and shiny, obviously well-fed and warmly dressed, and they were living a small life that they didn't dare to imagine before.

And all this was brought by Liu Jin in front of him, so Zhao Heishan's family is now obedient to Liu Jin's words, and Zhao Heishan also respects Liu Jin even more.

I used to respect Liu Jin because Liu Jin was a scholar, and he would definitely soar in the future, plus Liu Jin's father had helped their family and saved their family's life.

Now it's more because Liu Jin can take their family to eat well, dress warmly, and even have silver in his hand, ready to build a new house and tell Zhao Erhu about his aunt.

"What's it to have a meal, come, come, everyone take a break, rest, rest, wash your hands, and get ready to eat."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head and said, In fact, Liu Jin had already asked his mother Wang to prepare more meals in advance, because it was time to divide the silver again.

Yesterday was the beginning of the month, Zhang Tianhao arrived as scheduled, and bought the newly refined snow salt from Liu Jin's side, according to the agreement between Liu Jin and Zhao Heishan's family, the first day of the new year was sold for salt, the first two cents of silver, the fifteenth day of salt, and the sixteenth cent of silver.

Therefore, every time on the second and sixteenth days of the new year, Liu Jin would ask his mother Wang to prepare a good meal, which was regarded as a reward for the Zhao family, and at the same time, he also gave the silver.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, the Zhao family looked at Zhao Heishan one by one, and saw that he had no objection, so they happily put down the work at hand and prepared to eat.

Every time Liu Jin invites him to eat, it is the same as the New Year, a good meal and a good dish are prepared, and a large piece of braised pork is paired with fragrant white rice, which is definitely a great enjoyment of life.

Although Zhao Heishan's family is now making money with Liu Jin, they are absolutely reluctant to cut meat and eat white rice, after all, there is a large population, and they are used to being poor, so they have always been thrifty.

In Liu Jin's restaurant, there were still only five people sitting at the dinner table: Liu Jin, Wang, Zhao Heishan, Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu, and the other Zhao family members couldn't serve the table, each holding a bowl next to them to feast, eating sweaty.

"Uncle Montenegro, last time we refined a total of more than 2,000 catties of snow salt, and sold it for almost 300 taels of silver, this achievement is 30 taels of silver, do you calculate this number?"

After being full of wine and food, Liu Jin also took out the account books and began to reconcile with Zhao Heishan's family in detail.

How many catties of snow salt is extracted, both sides are clear, and how much money is sold, they are also very clear, after all, both sides are personally involved in the whole process, and no one can hide it from anyone.

"Yes, Brother Jin, the count is correct."

When it came to the matter of silver, the smile on Zhao Heishan's face was even bigger.

"This is 30 taels of silver, and the other 10 taels of silver are my bonuses for everyone."

Liu Jin nodded, and then took out a small ingot, 40 taels of silver, 10 taels of silver, and placed four of them on the table.

"What's so embarrassing?"

Zhao Heishan s dark face smiled even more, the first time he divided the silver, Liu Jin also gave him a bonus, he didn't understand what this bonus was at first, but Liu Jin didn't understand it until he explained.

Unexpectedly, this time, Liu Jin also gave a bonus, and also issued a one-time bonus of 10 taels of silver, you must know that 10 taels of silver is not a small amount, 3 taels of silver is enough for Zhao Erhu to marry an aunt, these 10 taels of silver are enough for their family to start a house, buy furniture or something.

"This is what you deserve, if you don't have your hard work, we can't refine 2,000 catties of snow salt in half a month, take it."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

This is the truth, since the last time Zhao Heishan's family tasted the sweetness of the silver, the enthusiasm for this work has been aroused, and the family has worked like a desperate person, doing things day and night.

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, knew very well that if he wanted the horse to run fast, he had to give the horse enough to eat, and the bonus system came into being.

A mere 10 taels of silver is nothing compared to the money obtained from selling salt this time, but it can greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of Zhao Heishan's family to work and earn more silver for Liu Jin.

"Thank you, Brother Jin~"

Zhao Heishan thanked Liu Jin very respectfully, and accepted the silver, his dark face couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he had never had so much silver, if he hadn't followed Liu Jin twice, it was estimated that he would have gone crazy by now.

"Brother Jin, someone in the village is probing us, what do you think we should do?"

Then Zhao Heishan showed a sad look on his face again, thought about it and said.

"I know that, and someone will definitely be probing us."

Hearing Zhao Heishan's words, Liu Jin couldn't help frowning, there are some things that can't be hidden from the neighbors all the time.
