Chapter 128: Yunjiu Villa is in trouble
Yesheng Song and Pingqiu talked openly from afar, and finally resolved the contradiction, and turned over the horse in harmony and came to Yunjiu Villa.
Outside Yunjiu Villa, there is also a city wall built with huge stones, about three meters high and one meter thick, and there are people standing guard on the city wall.
The heavy wooden door under the city wall was closed, and Ye Shengge took his waist card to the gatekeeper to check, the man glanced at Ye Shengge, and knew that it was their boss who came back, but he still checked the waist card according to the custom, after all, their boss was not like this when he came several times, so even if he saw her original appearance, it was better to be cautious.
After checking the waist row, Ye Shengge and the gatekeeper said a simple hello, and the two gatekeepers pushed the door open, letting Yeshengge and Pingqiu walk in from afar.
Walking in from the gate, at a glance is a big village of 100 people, the houses in the village are two wooden houses and a yard, the taller wooden house is the main house, the lower one is the kitchen, their yards are fenced out of trees, some people have big yellow dogs tied in their yards, and the big yellow dogs see the night sheng song passing by, wagging their tails again and again, humming happily.
Walking further along the road in the village, you can see a relatively wide and gorgeous courtyard in the distance, and at a glance, the scale should be a five-entry courtyard.
This is the heart of Yunjiu Villa, where the entire village goes every day to make wine.
The village was silent, except for some roosters and dogs, there was no human smell at all, and not even a single figure could be seen.
On weekdays, you can see a few children playing and playing, or you can see a few women busy with their work in the yard, but no one can see them at this time.
Such a situation must be related to the accident two days ago.
Yesheng Song and Pingqiu walked directly towards the largest courtyard house.
When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, I checked the waist card for the two people guarding the door, and went in directly.
When I entered the house, I saw that most of the men and women in the village were standing in that courtyard, and there were about two hundred people, all with serious expressions, all listening to the person in front of them.
July is standing in front of everyone, without saying a word, with a serious expression, July is next to a sturdy man in his thirties, the man's facial features are rough, but his appearance is rare and kind, and there is righteousness between his eyebrows.
This tall man's name is Wang Er, he is the new head of the village, and he is also the manager of Yunjiu Villa, when Ye Shengge and July are not there, all the things in this Yunjiu Villa are handled by him.
Wang Er has read for a few years, and he is also a good person, although he is not as shrewd as Zhang Liang, he can also do his duty, and he is also diligent.
July and Wang Er hurriedly walked in front of Yesheng Song when they saw Ye Shengge coming.
"Master, I have also found out the person and been tied up and locked up by me." July briefly reported the current situation to Brother Ye Sheng, but Wang Er just followed aside, and did not speak.
"With you, I don't worry, since all the people have gathered here, then I will briefly talk to you." As she spoke, Yesheng Ge had already walked to the courtyard corridor, which was slightly higher than the courtyard, so that she could see everyone in the courtyard clearly.
Now the group of people who are standing silently in the courtyard, staring at Yeshengge, they are all people who do things for Yeshengge, and they are also the people in the village, and their winemaking skills are very good.
The more than 200 people in the courtyard are all important people who have mastered the method of brewing cloud wine, and as for the people who are not concentrated in this courtyard, they are doing some sundries and doing some hard work.
Those who do the sundries and do the hard work are not allowed to enter the cellar, so the wine is all smashed, not the people who do the sundries, so the July did not gather those people, and at this time those people are probably resting at home.
This courtyard is a five-entry courtyard, the first courtyard when the gate comes in, is the place where everyone gathers to explain some things, the second courtyard is a place to do some chores, and the three, four, or five courtyards are dedicated to winemaking.
As for where the wine was hidden, it was hidden under the whole courtyard, and they dug a deep cellar under the courtyard to hide the wine in, and the smashed cellar was the big cellar under the courtyard.
"There was such a big thing this time, and the loss was very big, but fortunately, it was just to smash the wine, not poison, otherwise the consequences could not be bearable, after all, these cloud wines were sold everywhere.
In the past few years, the wine you have brewed, all over the country, and even exported to other countries, all these glory are all in exchange for your efforts, and I thank you for your dedication.
But in the future, I hope that you must supervise each other in the matter of the wine cellar and in the process of making wine, and do not make any mistakes, otherwise next time, the other party will not smash the wine cellar, but poison it, and everyone here will end up miserable. Ye Shengge said, seeing what many people below also thought of, their faces became more difficult to look at, and at the same time they were glad that the other party was not poisoned.
"I like that you guys supervise each other and help each other and make money together.
Everything you do is rewarded, Yunjiu is done well, sold well, and your wages are high.
I know that you haven't even been out of the village in the past few years of winemaking, and it is really hard for you.
But if you have enough money, your children will be able to go to a better college, you will have a better way out, and your family will have a better life.
If you insist on it, I will recruit some new workers to come in, and when the time comes, I will teach the new people the skills of winemaking, and you can rest from it, and you can do whatever you want at that time, but you can't say anything about Yunjiu.
You have taken my salary, and everything you do, you have to think about me first, and if you follow me wholeheartedly, I will only treat you better and better.
The ugly words are ahead, if you have other thoughts and leak the secret recipe, then how much I lose, you will pay me back as much as it is.
This kind of thing happened in the past two days, and everyone must have worked very hard, but you can rest assured, this time the loss is nothing, and your wages will not be reduced by half a cent, so you will not start work in the past two days, go back and have a good rest, and leave this matter to me to deal with. Ye Shengge said a lot of words in one breath, and her tone was slow in order to be able to make everyone hear it clearly.
After all the people in the courtyard left, Qiyue and Wang Er took Yeshengge and Pingqiu to the distance, as well as the two middle-aged men who stayed behind, and walked towards the firewood house in the second courtyard.
One of the middle-aged men took out the key and opened the firewood room, only to see a woman in her forties and a man lying on the straw pile on the straw pile in the firewood room.
These two people know each other in Yeshengge, and they are Aunt Li in the village. and Aunt Li's husband, the couple are more stingy and stingy in dealing with people on weekdays, and their relationship with the countryside is not very good.
Aunt Li has been in Yunjiu Villa for several years, nothing happened in the past few years, but this year there has been such a thing, there must be other reasons for this.
"Aunt Li, I think the salary I gave you is enough to feed your family, is it because the steward in this Yunjiu Villa has treated you badly?" Ye Shengge opened his mouth to ask, and glanced at Wang Er, who also looked directly at her, and was not weak-hearted.
She felt that it was very likely that some people outside had used some means, otherwise she would not have to worry about food and clothing first, and there would be no need to do such a thing that outweighed the losses.
"Miss Night, I did something sorry for you, my family owes money to others, that money is too much, we can't pay it back at all, I am willing to leave here with my family, thanks to Miss Night's care for our family in the past few years, after I leave the village, I will never tell anyone about Yunjiu." Aunt Li spoke directly, with a tired face, heavy dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were full of helplessness and guilt.
"You have also been working under my hands for a few years, and you have also done your duty a few years ago, why are you obsessed with money this year, and if you do such a thing, the treatment I give you is not low, why do you want to cut off your own financial path so much?" Yesheng Ge sighed and said.
"Miss Night, I'm sorry, it's none of her business, I was addicted to gambling some time ago, and I always ran to the city, but somehow, I lost a hundred taels of gold in one go, and the people in the gambling house threatened me that I must pay back one hundred taels of gold in the future within two days, and if I can't pay it back, I will definitely knock on the door, and I naturally can't pay it back, so he threatened me and asked me to encourage my wife to do things for him." Aunt Li's husband said ashamedly that he blamed him for being greedy for gambling, losing all his money, and borrowing money to continue gambling, and the result was ......
"The people in the gambling house originally said that they would let us finish this work, and they would not let us pay back the money, and would give us the IOU, and pay us another hundred taels of gold, but the man didn't say anything, and forced us to steal the secret recipe of Yunjiu.
We don't want to steal the secret recipe, but we have done something wrong, and we will leave here if we don't live here anymore. Aunt Li's husband said with a sigh, his expression was sluggish, and Aunt Li's expression was not much better.
"This matter is not something that you can solve by leaving, and the loss of Yunjiu Mountain Villa is not small. But you can't compensate for this loss, and I'm giving you a chance to atone for your sins now. Ye Shengge thought about it for a while before he made his decision, if he let the people of this family leave the village, then maybe they would be killed by those people in less than two or three days, it was better to use them to arrest the people from the gambling house and interrogate them.
It is also good to let the husband and wife make a contribution, first, to let these villagers know that she is a kinder person, second, to find out the people who targeted her later, and third, to give the couple less wages in the future, so that they can do more.
Hearing this decision, Aunt Li and her husband were stunned, they couldn't believe it, they didn't expect that they had done such a thing and caused a lot of losses to Yunjiu, and they could still stay.
