Chapter 26 Roundabout means are necessary
A jar of tempeh was delivered in ten days.
Fortunately, everyone said it was good when they tasted it before, so Wei Jin didn't delay and started the second production directly.
This time it was not a small fight, it took 100 liters to soak the beans alone, and it took two whole days to cook the beans.
The bamboo sieve of the Zhang family was delivered quickly, after all, there were many goods, and it was cashed out, this income could make the family not worry about eating for half a year, and the Zhang family would definitely have to do their best.
The problem now is that there is a place to soak beans and cook beans, but fermenting and drying tempeh is a bit difficult.
Their small courtyard looks big, but after the ingredients are actually piled up, there is not much space to use. What's more, the tempeh thing doesn't smell heavy and quite fragrant, but if the amount of fermentation is too large and the stacking time is long, the smell will definitely affect the surroundings, and even the soup powder shop in front of it will be implicated.
In a hurry, Wei Jin took the second sister to find the mayor's wife and rented the hall that was built in the town at the entrance of the town.
This hall was built by caravans in the past, and it also received merchants from the state capital where they came.
Later, the post station was set up, and then the road was repaired, and it was convenient to go to the county seat, and this place was gradually deserted.
Wei Jin valued the large courtyard here, and it is a two-story building in the form of a corridor, where people live on the top, a fermentation warehouse below, and the dam in the middle can dry tempeh. There is also a shadow wall outside the gate, which just blocks the inquiry of those boring people, which can't be better.
It's a pity that the place here is too big and the location is good, and the mayor is reluctant to sell it at a low price.
However, the lease is also OK, and the lease contract is signed for ten years, and the rent is paid once a year, and the cost is still diluted. Even if the tempeh business can't be done, it won't lose too much.
This time there were a lot of people, Wei Jin didn't go to find someone by himself, but went back to the village and found the village chief to ask for manpower.
If this business is done, it will not be the Wei family, but the entire village will benefit.
Wei Jin is not a person who is willing to wronged herself, she doesn't ask for anything else, and the family of the boys who harmed her in the first place, especially Zhang, is resolutely unable to do it.
The village chief is an old man, and compared with the interests of one household and two households and the interests of the whole village, he made a judgment in an instant.
The eldest grandson of the third and second clans followed Wei Jin to the abandoned guild hall in the town, and after looking around, he estimated a number.
Since this property will eventually be handed over to the village to be responsible, it is naturally impossible for her to pay for the repairs.
In the end, she still has no money, and if she has the money to repair the house by herself, she will do it herself without saying a word.
Of course, it is also good for the village, after all, her three sisters and brothers are still young and not enough to bear the burden of supporting the family. Now it's for the second sister to take it, but if she really makes a lot of money, the eldest sister's family and the second brother-in-law's family don't know if there will be a fuss.
Looking at this time when I went back, I knew that the eldest sister's two concubines didn't talk less in the back, and it wasn't once or twice that they squeezed the eldest sister with words.
Although the eldest sister's mother-in-law didn't say anything, her expression was not very good-looking. The most important thing is that the eldest sister is too soft, and everyone can pinch and scold. My husband is not around, and I can't find someone to support me.
When Wei Jin went, the eldest sister's eyes were red.
She looked at the dough-like eldest sister in front of her, wanted to say something and endured it, and finally quietly stuffed her with a small purse, which was ten taels of silver, and let her hold it.
Ten taels is not much, but it is inconvenient for her to give more.
First, the eldest sister's in-laws are still there, and they can't have private property. Occasionally leave a few taels in your hand or in an emergency, it's okay, too much will definitely happen.
Second, the eldest sister has this temperament, no matter how much she is given, she can't keep it, so it's better to take care of it more, and give her what she needs.
This time, she specially told the village chief's grandfather to let the youngest brother in the eldest brother-in-law's family come to learn a craft, and the village chief's grandfather agreed.
For Wei Jin, the skill of making tempeh is nothing, but for farmers, one more skill can feed a family, and this kindness is not ordinarily deep.
She won't tell the eldest sister directly, with the eldest sister's temperament, she can't ask for some benefits for herself if she talks about such a good thing.
She asked her second brother-in-law to go to her eldest brother-in-law for a drink, and told him about it by the way, and then asked him to find a time to go back to visit the old village chief and get the matter to the truth.
The second brother-in-law has been exercising in the past few months. Originally, he was a very neat character, but now after dealing with merchants and several officials in charge of the government, he speaks more standardly.
He took his eldest brother-in-law and two friends of his eldest brother-in-law to the restaurant, the dishes were put on the table, and as soon as the wine was drunk, the atmosphere between the two brothers-in-law was almost in place.
"Let's do this, Erhua and Sanhuaer originally wanted to talk directly to their sister, but when they went, they heard that your two younger siblings were burying the eldest sister, and Sanhuaer was not happy at that time."
He also knows a little about his wife's situation at home, but he is far away from home and can't go back every day, so he can only let his wife be more patient.
"Alas, eldest brother-in-law, it's not me who said, your two brothers and daughters-in-law really should teach a lesson, even if there is a conflict between the concubines, you can't press the sister-in-law to talk like this. You don't know, Erhua's temper wanted to go crazy at the time, but fortunately, Sanhua'er was there, and she suppressed it, so I was afraid that the eldest sister would have a hard time living if she made trouble. ”
The eldest brother-in-law really didn't know that the family had done this to his wife. Hearing this, his face darkened.
"If you want me to say, thanks to the aunt who took care of the eldest sister, otherwise, with the temperament of the eldest sister, she would not have been eaten alive by your two brothers and daughters-in-law. No, Sanhuaer had an idea with the village chief to make a tempeh business in the town, and the village chief originally planned to let his own children learn this craft, but Sanhuaer insisted on asking for a position. Eldest brother-in-law, you have a good discussion with your aunt, you still have two younger brothers who have not yet started a family, see who is better to learn. But don't let your two eldest brothers go, our Sanhua'er can't stand this breath. ”
He was a little drunk, talking one after another, sometimes without a preface, and slapping his chest, saying that he had survived his life after the separation. Now I have a fur workshop with a few brothers, not to mention making a lot of money, supporting a family, and supporting my children to study.
The two friends of the eldest brother-in-law are either the shopkeepers or the bookkeepers, and when they talk about business, they are one after another, although the second brother-in-law is a little drunk, but he has learned a lot of what he should have learned.
"Thank you, thank you brothers, if you have something to help in the future, say hello, just say hello, as long as I, Qiu San is here, then I will definitely help."
He got drunk and went out of the restaurant, and after separating from his three brothers, he went to an inn in the back street of the county seat. Night, wait until another deal is negotiated tomorrow and then go back.
