Chapter 5: The winery is completed
After returning to Yunwu Village, Jing Xi sent Li Zheng home first, and then let Jiang Wen drive to Gu's house.
After the carriage arrived at the gate of Gu's house, Uncle Zhang immediately stepped forward, and when he saw that it was his master, he quickly opened the door and let the young lady enter the house.
……
Gu inside the house
"Miss, are you back?" It was Xinliu who opened her mouth, dressed in a plain long skirt, with a white short coat on her upper body, simple flowers embroidered on the cuffs, and a little broken flowers on the plain ankle-length long skirt.
As soon as the girl saw that the young lady was back, she immediately stepped forward, and Jiang Wen handed the low pier to facilitate the young lady to get off the carriage.
Of course, although Jing Xi's skills have not recovered now, he is also compared to ordinary masters of the rivers and lakes, and this small height is not difficult for Jing Xi.
It's just that seeing that they are so thoughtful, Jing Xi also understood what they meant, so he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, got up, and stepped on the low pier to get off the carriage with the support of Xinliu.
Afterwards, Jiang Wen asked the young lady to drive the carriage to a special place.
Jing Xi walked towards the hall, and Shinliu followed behind her.
Jing Xi asked as he walked, "What about the little master?" Will this be sleeping? ”
"Miss Hui, the two young masters fed and rested an hour ago, and my mother said that they should wake up soon." Xinliu listened to her young lady's words and immediately replied.
Arrived at the hall
"Oh? Ah Heng Ah Yan is about to wake up? That Xinliu, you go and call Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu to come up. Jing Xi thought that he would solve the helper's matter first, and then Master Hu would come to Yunwu Village tomorrow to build a wine shop, and then he would go to see two small buns.
"Yes, miss." After listening to the order, Xinliu immediately went down and replaced Brother Jiang.
Among them, in addition to their father, Jiang Wen and Jiangwu are the oldest, and now they are 15 years old, five years older than her.
"Miss!"
Jing Xi was thinking about it, and Xinliu had already summoned Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu over.
"Tomorrow, the construction team in the county will come, and you will follow me to the village square to recruit helpers, and tomorrow we will build a winery." Jing Xi said this, and also instructed Xinliu to take a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wait for the convenience of registration.
It's not that Jingxi doesn't trust the villagers, and many places recruit workers with diplomas as proof, and it will be much easier to do things at that time.
"Yes, miss." Jiang Wen and Jiangwu did not wonder what Miss wanted them to do, now they are members of the Gu family, and the two brothers will do what Miss orders, and they don't need to beak or question Miss's decision.
After a while, Jing Xi took Xinliu and the Jiang brothers to the square of Yunwushan Village.
Speaking of this square, it is actually a specially vacated land in the village, which is convenient for the villagers to hold a meeting.
Now it's winter, there is not much work in the field, yes, many young and strong laborers still want to go to the county to do long-term work, but, this Yunwu Village is remote, many villagers can't say that they have left for a long time, except for a small number of villagers life is really difficult, and want to earn more copper plates to have a fat year, so they went out to the county to find some work.
Regarding the recruitment of workers, Jing Xi had already told Li Zheng, and also agreed to come to the square to recruit people at the end of the day.
Li Zheng informed the people who had come to the square to wander around, and Li Zheng swore to them that he would recruit workers in Gu Zhai today, as long as he was down-to-earth and willing to work, he would definitely be selected, yes, they did not doubt the recruitment.
Besides, in their eyes, Li Zheng's words are particularly easy for them to trust, no, except for those who have important matters at hand, the other villagers have arrived.
When they saw Jing Xi leading people to the square, they stepped forward one after another.
Nowadays, almost all the villagers in the village call Jing Xi Miss, in their hearts, Jing Xi is the young lady of a big family, even if her mother is gone now, she is still different from them.
It's a little restrained, but it's not alienated, it's still the same as it was at the beginning, simple.
"Uncles and uncles, I asked Uncle Lizheng to say that we are going to recruit workers today, and if you can come, I promise that as long as you work hard, you will have the opportunity to be selected."
Jing Xi looked at the villagers in front of him, they were all good people, the crowd came, almost twenty or thirty people, Jiang Wen Jiangwu asked them to line up and register one by one, as for Li Zheng, he also asked Gu Yi to invite him just now.
"Tomorrow, Master Hu will come to build a wine shop, to be a helper, 50 yuan a day per person, and pay every three days. Here, I believe Uncle Lizheng has also promised you. ”
The villagers listened to Jingxi's words and were very excited!
Hiss! Fifty wen a day, three days is one hundred and fifty wen, this is much better than going to the county to do long-term work, it is said that the baby next door will go to the county to do long-term work for large families, and it is only thirty yuan a day, which is now nearly doubled, and everyone only feels that their hearts are hot.
Even Li Zheng, who was on the side, was shocked!
As he opened his mouth to say something, his face was tangled.
Jing Xi knows the price in the county, this is also Jing Xi's idea, he still has two silver in hand, and it doesn't hurt to pay more, and there are many things in his space, don't worry about this money, he has noticed Li Zheng's hesitation, and then signaled, saying that he has a spectrum in his heart.
As for this wine shop, Jing Xi is completely trying to hide people's eyes, and he also wants to have a reason for himself to come up with medicinal wine in the future.
I don't know what my father's situation is now, hey, it's just that my younger brother is still young, and his martial arts have not fully recovered, so I have to stay here temporarily.
After a change of mind, Jing Xi also buried this matter deep in his heart, and now the top priority is to solve the recruitment matter.
Then he spoke again: "The Gu Mansion will be responsible for the helper's lunch, yes, you can rest assured of this, the meat and vegetables are matched, and the amount of food is enough!" ”
Everyone is excited, this is a great thing, it is winter now, there is not much harvest in the field, in addition to taxes, there is not much left, can only solve the problem of food and clothing, and there is no spare money on weekdays, now this job, but pie in the sky.
"One by one, I stepped forward, read the name, asked the young lady to register, and just press a handprint." It was Jiang Wen who spoke.
When the villagers heard this, they didn't have any doubts, and there was no problem that people who went to work in the county also had to sign the deed.
Everyone went forward one by one, reported their names, pressed their handprints, and when they were done, everyone dispersed one by one, with brisk steps and a very happy mood.
Jing Xi gave Li Zheng some broken silver, thanking him for running more, Li Zheng shirked many times, but in the end he couldn't get Jing Xi's kindness.
After returning to Gu's house, Jing Xi also asked Xinliu to go to the Lu family next door to spread the meaning, and asked Aunt Lu to find a few neat aunts to help cook, cook lunch for the workers, and give each assistant a day 30 wen.
This matter can make the aunts who were found by Aunt Lu very happy, and it will cost twenty wen to make a lunch on this day, which can be completed in the wine shop, how many copper plates do you have to have?
As for the vegetables and meat for lunch, Jing Xi asked Aunt Gu to buy them.
returned to Jingxi of the Gu house, and ran to the backyard as soon as possible, missing Ah Heng and Ah Yan, fleshy and cute.
Early the next morning, Master Hu took the workers and pulled the materials to Gu's house, and then, Jingxi's wine shop was built in full swing.
With the passage of time, it has been three months since Jing Xi arrived in this world, and now it is the first day of December, and the snow is everywhere, and the whole world seems to be dressed in silver.
In the capital, which is hundreds of miles away from Kangyang County, with the arrival of Prince Rong in Beijing in August to report on his work, an incident also happened that shocked the government and the opposition.
At that time, Gu Liangchuan, the prince of Rong, defeated Nanlinguo, and went to Beijing in August to report on his work, but he did not bring his wife and daughter, because his wife was already pot-bellied and was about to give birth, and his daughter was still young and could not bear the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
Prince Rong led his guards back to Beijing, preparing to return to the border city after giving birth to His Majesty, and then arrange to return to Beijing after his wife gave birth.
However, the prince arrived in Beijing smoothly all the way, and the emperor ordered a reward, and the prince's achievements are known to the world.
But after returning to the palace of the capital, he received a letter from the flying pigeons in the border city.
It turned out that the housekeeper realized that the news that the princess received from the princess in distress was false, and it was true to trick the princess into going out of the city to trap her. The princess was deceived by false news, thinking that the prince was in danger, and hurriedly led a team of people with her daughter to find the prince.
When the housekeeper sent someone out to look for someone, the more he searched, the more frightened he became, and secretly prayed that the princess and the county lord were safe.
The last way to search, but to learn the news that the whereabouts of the princess and the princess are unknown.
That's a big deal.
After Wang Ye Rong got the news, he immediately sent someone to search, and at the same time he was investigating the murderer, and finally found out that it was the handiwork of the city lord of the border city and the city lord's miss.
The city lord of the border city rebelled and wanted to trap the princess and the county lord to blackmail the prince, but the daughter of the city lord was jealous, and she admired the princess for a long time, and she had long been jealous of the princess.
Jealousy is the original sin, and it poisons a woman's heart the most.
Come on, the city lord of the border city has provoked the anger of the public, and the reward of the prince Rong is known to the world, but at this juncture, the wife and daughter do not know the life and death.
It's just that the life and death of his wife and daughter are unknown, but it has brought a fatal blow to the prince, and he personally leads people to search for him every day, and people are visibly emaciated.
It's a pity that the search didn't find some remote towns, which made the identities of the three Jingxi sisters and brothers unknown.
Kangyang County, Qingshan County, Yunwu Village.
Today is a memorable day, and Jingxi's winery is finally about to start.
Most of the people were found in Yunwu Village, and Jingxi was going to use sorghum to make wine, which was the season when sorghum was abundant.
Jingxi bought sorghum from the villagers, and sent Jiang Wenjiangwu to the county to buy white sugar, in this era, white sugar is also a precious thing, only large families will use it when making dim sum, ordinary people rarely buy sugar, even if there is, it is occasionally gritted their teeth and bought jujube cakes and other sweet mouths for children.
Jing Xi divided the workers into several batches, each group was responsible for one step, and as for the final step, Jing Xi completed it alone.
Of course, Jing Xi carried people behind his back to collect the wine jar and so on into the space, and then used mental power to complete it, after all, there are so many, how can it be done by himself?
The workers are also people who are down-to-earth and neat in Yunwu Village, and they have signed long-term jobs, with 900 yuan per person per month, which is a big income for each of their families.
As for the wine jar, there is a family in the east of the village that will burn it, and Jing Xi inquired about it before.
Before the start of construction, I went to customize the large jar used for brewing, and the small jar that was installed after the altar was opened.
Jing Xi also asked Uncle Li, oh, that is, the villager who burned the wine jar, to burn a special mark on each jar, something similar to a trademark, and this mark also added a potion developed by Jing Xi's own family, which cannot be faked by other families.
After the winery started, life was on the right track, and Jing Xi and his younger brothers had a happy life.
Oh, by the way, now Jing Xi's ancient martial arts cultivation has also been restored, and there are many various medicines prepared in the space, and Jing Xi also sneaks into the mountains from time to time, looking for wild ginseng, etc., ready to be used to concoct medicinal liquor and medicine, etc.
And on his father's side, life is extremely bleak, if it weren't for the support of the idea of finding someone in his heart, he would have fallen long ago.
