"Go, mother!" Sister Qiu spoke, blinked her eyes again, and said with a smile in Jia's ear: "They all listened to what you said, and they all applauded!" Don't worry about anything. ”

Now the Jia family is their food and clothing parents, who want to work in the workshop to earn money, but they can't afford to be the boss?

Jia Shi smiled and clicked Sister Qiu's head, "This girl! As he spoke, Jia blushed slightly and walked to the gate.

Facing the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Jia Shi was obviously very unaccustomed, blushing and not knowing how to open his mouth, and the words he had just thought about in his heart suddenly forgot in an instant.

The onlookers looked at Jia's family, wearing a moon-white satin gown on his upper body, a lake-blue floral muslin pleated skirt on the bottom, his hair was black and smooth on the back of his head, wearing a silver hairpin, and two soybean-sized Huzhu earrings hanging on his ears. The makeup is not blessed, but it looks like a lady who lives a comfortable and comfortable life, and it doesn't seem to be a woman in her early 30s.

"Mrs. Li is here to be bitter!" Among the women watching the play below, they whispered, "At first, I suffered that in Lao Mei's house, and I suffered that sin, and I made people pitiful when I saw it...... Now look at other people's lives, just the work of the past few years, smack! No one can compare! ”

"Yes! The people of the old Mei family lack morality! There is a good daughter-in-law and children who still see the scolding of the sky, and when they hear that they are not fed at all, they do the same work as livestock! Li Niangzi was tired and sick and reluctant to spend money, so she threw people out with children! ”

"Live! Now they have no place to repent and want them to repent! ”

There was a person from another village who didn't know what was going on here, so he hurriedly asked, and for a while, the workshop door was lively again, and there was a sound of whispering. "The big guys are all quiet, let's listen to what Mrs. Li has to say." Lin Cheng said with a loud laugh.

"Everyone has known me for ten years...... I come from a family and don't know how to say anything nice. Jia said, "Today is a good life for the opening of the workshop, I know that all the big guys are looking forward to today, no matter whether the idea is good or bad, I promise to be here, the villagers only need to come to work for a day, and they will get a day's salary!" ”

Listening to this, everyone smiled and smiled, and many people shouted happily in the crowd, "Li Niangzi is righteous!" ”

"The heroine of the female middle school, she speaks properly, and she can drive nails by spitting and foaming!"

Jia Shi blushed slightly and waved his hand, Ci Wei glanced at Sister Qiu, the daughter in the crowd, she didn't have any ability, it was all the light of her daughter, if it wasn't for TOEFL giving birth to such a smart daughter, the mother and mother would not have known what would have happened.

"There are not many people who come to work now, and in the future, our water tofu business will become bigger, and there will be more people to work, and then we will strive for all the people in our village to work and earn money!" If some are good, there is also an opportunity to be in charge, not only do you have a salary every day, but you can also get dividends at the end of the year! Jia then spoke loudly.

The servants were silent, but although the people did not speak, their faces were happy.

Eager, eager to try. Work hard and diligently, who wouldn't know this? If you do a good job, you can be in charge, not to mention the salary you earn, and you can also get the dividends of the workshop! Where can you find such good things?

After Jia finished speaking, he hurriedly waved his hand back to Yan Yuanwai and the children's side.

Lin did see that the time was almost off, so he glanced at Darong, and Darong blew up the incense in his hand, lit the cannonball, and with the explosion of the cannonball, he turned the bamboo pole in his hand, and the section where the cannonball was set off was hanging in the air.

Sister Qiu covered Xiao Xu's ears, narrowly watching the flashing electric light when the cannon exploded, the deafening sound of the cannon battle rang out for a long time, and the ground was sprinkled with red and bright cannon paper.

Lin Cheng smiled and said loudly: "Start work!" I called the famous people to come to Chunhua to check and go to work. ”

"David!" Lin Qu shouted first.

Dawei immediately pulled out a silk handkerchief from his waist, wrapped his head tightly, and ran to Aunt Chunhua. Chunhua smiled and first saw if the clothes and apron on his body were unclean, and then checked whether his palms were washed and clean, and then let him in.

This is the rule that Sister Qiu has determined after Lin when recruiting workers, giving priority to recruiting daughters-in-law or men who are diligent and clean in the village, and before going to work, you must wrap your hair, dress neatly, and wash your hands cleanly, especially in the nails, there should be no dirt.

"Look at this workshop, there are a lot of requirements!" Many people from other villages do not know this rule, and they preach from ear to ear.

The people of Xiaohe Town listened and explained with a smile: "If the entrance thing we made is not clean and smashes our own brand, who will buy it?" "If you don't have an idea to do it, you won't have a salary to earn, such a simple reason, any one can understand it when you think about it, and then you can earn ten copper plates in half a day, and these reasonable requirements can not be met, so where can it!

Darong also took advantage of this time, ran home to wash his hands and change his clothes, and ran back again, and when Lin did call his name, he entered the workshop.

In less than two quarters of an hour, all the workers were inspected and entered the workshop, and after Sister Qiu's family entered, the door of the workshop was locked from the inside, and the workshop door would not be opened until the end of work, and people would be released.

The underground of the courtyard is paved with bluestone slabs, and various colored stones are embedded in the ground to divide the courtyard into several areas, making water tofu, soybean sprouts, bean curd, and bean curd......

The small kitchen where the bean juice and tofu are boiled can only be entered by a few daughters-in-law who have signed a long contract, and Aunt Chunhua and Li Ailian have already taught them the methods of bean-based foods such as water tofu before the oatmeal harvest.

In the afternoon, 1,000 catties of water tofu and 800 catties of bean skin have been prepared, diffusing the heat, waiting in the yard to inhibit the forming, the workers divided a basket, began to pick the next day's beans, each of the beans after picking all have to be checked by Qiu Gui'er, if you find that there are obvious moldy beans

If the grain is not picked out, there will be punishment, and the next day will be an hour later than the others to do the work.

And the cars from Huyang and Qingzhou also arrived at the door of the workshop and lined up in a long line.

The water tofu and bean skin that have just been made will be sold out to the merchants in an instant, and each piece of water tofu and bean skin is stamped with the words "Autumn Record" on the mold, and the soybean sprouts that began to be sent a few days ago have also been sold for hundreds of pounds.

Only the bean curd and dried bean curd are when they are needed, the workshop has not been sold on the first day of opening, and the ropes and wooden planks in the yard have been set up with fresh bean curd and dried bean curd, the sun in the summer is just right, Sister Qiu estimates that it is more than two days of work, these bean curd and dried bean curd can be sold for money, which is more profitable than selling water tofu and soybean sprouts.

The helpers helped to weigh the water tofu, and Fuzi set up a wooden table by the door, busy calculating the general account for the merchants, the abacus beads in the palm of the hand became more and more neat, counting the good account and handing over the money on the account book The workers wrote it down fully, and asked the merchant to sign his name or press a handprint on the back of the account, indicating that the money and goods were clear.

When it was time to get off work, Sister Qiu discussed with Lin Qu, and decided to start paying wages today for the sake of a happy celebration, and pay them back in the next ten days.

"Are you happy to get the money?" Lin Cheng laughed and asked, "Remember, go home tonight and go to bed early, and tomorrow morning on the second day of the day to come to work, if you oversleep, you will have to deduct money!" ”

The people who went to work all laughed happily, no matter how tired they were, they were unconsciously hard work, and they stood in a row of joyful and beaming, waiting for Lin to call the name, and went to Fuzi to receive the money, and then pressed a handprint on the account, holding the ten copper plates in their hands, everyone was in a mood as sweet as eating honey, and felt that they were luckier than those who could not come to work, where can I find such a good job? It is next to the door, a few steps away, and you can earn ten copper plates with only half a day of work, and all of you are familiar with the villagers. Don't say it's two more, it's just working all night, and you don't realize that there's anything bad.

The people who went to work went home happily with the money, and the workshop was deserted from the beginning.

Sister Qiu and Aunt Chunhua were still talking in the small kitchen, "Auntie, have you learned?" ”

Aunt Chunhua nodded, looked at the yellow tender water tofu in the basin with a smile, and shook her head with feeling: "If you don't say it, who knows that this big water tofu is made of red eggs!" ”

"It's much better than ordinary water tofu." Sister Qiu smiled and said, "Auntie, I plan to set this water tofu for ten cents a city catty, so you will make this water tofu, and tomorrow afternoon I will make 50 city catties and sell it." ”

Aunt Chunhua's big water tofu has a fashionable name now, "Japanese water tofu", but no one here knows what "Japan" is, and Sister Qiu also gave it a good name by Aunt Chunhua, "big water tofu".

"How expensive is it?" Aunt Chunhua was taken aback, and glanced at the tender and fine water tofu in the basin like a pool of water, "Although it is made of red eggs, there are not many red eggs used...... but it is more than ordinary water

Tofu is five times more expensive.

"Someone must have bought it, let's first make the idea of a water supply tofu workshop, and when the big guys all eat it, how much they don't have to worry about selling, I only told my aunt about this craft, and my aunt will do it at home, don't go to the workshop to do it, and save it for people to see." As for the dividends...... "Sister Qiu thought about it, "the capital is less than four cents per catty, and one catty can earn six cents, and we will divide it fifty-fifty." ”

Aunt Chunhua didn't expect Sister Qiu to plan like this, and she was moved for a while and said unknowingly, "How can this be...... If it weren't for you, Sister Qiu, where would your aunt do this, you would just be like them and calculate your aunt's salary. ”

Sister Qiu smiled and grabbed Aunt Chunhua'er's palm, "Auntie, it's not easy for you and Uncle Lin to supply Brother Zhun and Da Yin, this fifty-fifty is your due, I can't trust him when I put others aside, and I won't tell him about this craft." ”

"Eh, eh!" Chunhua responded with a smile, wiped her tears with Lin Cheng in the field, and said that she really didn't know what virtue she had accumulated in her last life, so she had such a good daughter-in-law.

In the evening, Jia and Yan Yuanwai's family did not go back to the town immediately, but invited a few directors and daughters-in-law to set up two tables of wine feasts at Jiang's house, one table for male guests, one table for female guests, and a jar of wine for male guests.

"Let's all eat less." Lin did pour wine into the bowl and said with a smile, "Tomorrow is still early, we are in charge, we can't get up later than those helpers." ”

Da Rong first smiled and said: "That's the reason, if we get up late, how can people believe us and obey our management!" ”

Yan Yuanwai chuckled and got up and picked up the wine glass first, and said to the various masters: "Everyone, Sister Qiu and her mother can't come back every day, and the Qiu Ji Workshop will rely on you to do your best!" When Qiu Ji's idea is done all over the country, you will be the majestic big bosses, better than all the big bosses in Huyang City! ”

As soon as I made a phone call, the heads of several young people who talked about it were all excited, and you asked excitedly: "Is there really such a day?" "To be able to become a big boss, this is something that these country men who have been digging in the soil all the year round dare not dream of, even if they are the head of the Qiu Ji workshop, they only feel that they can make money by themselves, and they have plenty of money, and they can buy new clothes and meat for their wives and children. But as long as they concentrate on their own and really do their best, they can get far more than that, they can also live a decent life like the big boss in the city, and all people's hearts are jumping excitedly, looking forward to tomorrow.

Everyone nodded and laughed, everyone knew that Lin really wanted to provide for the boy to study, and he had been offered for a year before he didn't have it, not that he didn't want to, but the family really didn't have any money, and it wasn't that all of them could be like the old Mei family and his wife, in order to provide a Mei Qu to study, he could be ruthless and sacrifice the daughter of the family, first Sister Qiu, and then the little daughter of Mei's second daughter-in-law.

"Don't babble!" Aunt Chunhua sat on the side of the female guest and said with a smile, "Hurry up and eat, Ming."

It's an early wake-up. ”

Lin did laugh heartily a few times, and he was indeed happy today, so he said a few more words, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, hurry up and eat." ”

In addition to some home-cooked dishes, the fragrant pork rib soup was put in the big water tofu that Sister Qiu and Aunt Chunhua had just made this afternoon, and the smooth and fragrant water tofu won the praise of all the people in an instant.

The guests enjoyed the meal, and Lin did not eat much wine at all, but they all felt a little drunk, and they were all happy.

"Mrs. Li is a blessed child! I am very envious of having such a smart daughter! Da Rong helped Qiu Gui'er to go to the workshop, today it was the turn of the couple to watch the workshop at night, afraid that someone would come to steal things, and they couldn't stop chattering with Qiu Gui'er, "In the future, if we can have half of Sister Qiu's mother, I will be content!" ”

Qiu Gui'er smiled and said, "Look at you, after eating two mouthfuls of cat urine, you start to babble!" After a while, he also whispered: "I also hope that our Daniel can be half as smart as Sister Qiu's mother, and I will not be her heart." When I went back to my husband's house, I was not afraid of being oppressed. ”

In the afternoon, when all the helpers got off work, the village was also lively, and at this time, a man walked in at the entrance of the village, with weeds sticking to his dirty knotted hair, covering his face unkempt, and the clothes on his body were no longer distinguishable in color, but they could barely cover the flesh, and the shoes on the feet were rotten and only the soles of the shoes remained, tied with a few straw ropes, and there seemed to be something wrong with his legs, and he was limping with a stick in his hand.

"Where did you come from?" The people in the village looked at it and couldn't help but whisper.

In these years, there are not many people who go to the village to beg for food, first, it is not a famine year, and secondly, the country and the people are safe, and there are very few people who really can't go on to begging for food, except for those who are called flowers in the town and in the city.
