Chapter 98: Making Wine
"Girl, don't be like this, the girl is also a cheerful person, so let's do it, I think the lord you still don't help the girl's kindness, after all, the girl is not the kind of person who is greedy for cheapness, the lord wants to repay the favor, it is better to follow the girl's wishes, so isn't everyone happy?"
It was the first time for Shu Qingai to deal with the grandmother of a large family in ancient times, and as soon as Mrs. Qian said such a standard, Shu Qingai could be regarded as taught.
"Mrs. Qian is right, if you can, I will go through the formalities with Mr. Qian now."
Shu Qingai said this, and Qian Dafa had no choice but to do this. recruited the little guy, that is, let people go to the town for a walk, and it was to keep Shu Qingai and them for lunch before leaving.
Thinking that there were still children in the Qiu family, Shu Qingai declined. It's just that when leaving, the gift of a carriage from Qian Mansion made Shu Qingai smack her tongue again.
Shu Qingai, accompanied by the little maid, got the title deed of the Zhuangzi in Laoshu Village.
Although the land is not expensive, only six taels of silver per acre, but there are still fifty acres of paddy fields on the Zhuangzi, a courtyard, plus the crops in the field and the grapes in the field, Shu Qingai gave 1,500 taels of silver, but Qian Dafa was unwilling to accept so much, only received 1,000 taels.
It's just that when Shu Qingai casually took out a thousand taels of silver to him, there was a moment of surprise in Mrs. Qian's eyes!
Of course, Zhou Dahai and his family were also frightened by Shu Qingai's generosity!
They knew that Shu Qingai had earned some silver, but they really didn't expect that she would make so much! Now Shu Qingai is also a person with a hundred acres of land, which can be regarded as a small land woman, this change made Zhou Dahai and his wife stunned for a long time in the carriage.
After going back to unload the things, the little guy in the Qian Mansion directly took Shu Qingai to Laoshu Village to do the work of handing over the Zhuangzi.
In order to prevent the Shu family from worrying about these things, and to prevent the villagers from learning that Shu Qingai was already alone to bully her, Shu Qingai let Zhou Dahai and his wife go together, and told the public that these were all taken care of by the Qian Mansion.
The two carriages arrived at Laoshu Village, but fortunately, there were still two miles of land for the people living in the village, and Shu Qingai happened to be quiet.
They are now in Zhuangzi, and there are five people in Zhuangzi, and three generations of a family are guarding Zhuangzi here.
The little servant of the Qian Mansion handed over the deed of sale of the five people to Shu Qingai's hands and told Qian Dafa what he meant.
That is to say, these five people have the ability to guard the Zhuangzi and the vineyard, and they sold them to Shu Qingai together, and if Shu Qingai is not satisfied, they will be sold.
Shu Qingai saw this legendary deed of sale for the first time, looking at the five people in front of him, an old man was in his fifties, and everyone called him Uncle Zhou. Looks honest and honest. A man in his thirties is the eldest son of the old man, named Da Gang. Married a maid of Qianfu, not in this Zhuangzi, there is a man in his twenties, is the second son of the old man, called Ergang is also married to the maid of Qianfu, not in Zhuangzi, the third son is eighteen years old, and he has not yet married, called Sangang, a woman of fifteen or sixteen years old, is the daughter of an old man, with a dark complexion, and is also a diligent at first glance, called Chun Tao.
Anyway, Shu Qingai admires the old man's kung fu in choosing a name, so he can listen to it and save trouble.
After the five of them met the new master in turn, Shu Qingai didn't say anything, but explained that it was as before for the time being. If Da Gang and Er Gang want their daughter-in-law to come to Zhuangzi, she will ask for it like Master Qian.
After hearing this, of course, the two nodded happily.
After the handover of the little servant of the Qian Mansion, he drove away in a carriage.
Shu Qingai called Zhou Dahai to a few people and introduced them to them.
"You are also the old people on the Zhuangzi, in fact, I am also from Laoshu Village, but I only married in Xinghua Village next door a few months ago, and I don't want to publicize the matter of buying this Zhuangzi today, you should still be helping Qianfu to do things. This is Zhou Dahai, who will lead you to work together in the future, and he will be in charge of the affairs in this village in the future, and you will be in charge of things according to his instructions. ”
A few people saw that the new master was still a little girl, and most of them were still countrymen, and after listening to Shu Qingai's words, they were even more surprised! Xinghua Village is so poor, whose daughter is so promising, can buy such a big Zhuangzi.
After all, when Shu Qingai was in Laoshu Village before, he didn't like to go here, and it was impossible for these descendants of the Qian family to leave Zhuangzi casually, and they didn't know Shu Qingai at will.
Zhou Dahai and his wife were surprised when they heard Shu Qingai's words!
"Sister Shu, I can't help it, I, I'm afraid I won't be able to manage such a big Zhuangzi!"
Zhou Dahai was a little weak-hearted, when he was in Zhou's house before, all he picked up was those few acres of fields, and he let him take care of these hundreds of acres of fields, and he also had to take care of these five people, he asked himself if he had that ability!
"Yes, I think it's better to forget about it, your big brother will hunt or something, where can you manage such a big Zhuangzi?"
Qiu Shi also echoed on the side, afraid that his man would ruin Shu Qingai's 100 acres of land!
"Brother Dahai doesn't have to excuse himself, you haven't done this yet, how do you know if you can't do it? Besides, don't you still have Uncle Zhou's family to help you? Isn't it that Brother Dahai still wants me to be a woman and a woman to bear it alone? ”
Shu Qingai was talking, and she also knew that Zhou Dahai and his wife would feel sorry for themselves.
Zhou Dahai struggled for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
"Your wages used to be 500 wen per person a month?"
This is what the little guy just told her, Shu Qingai looked at the family of five and asked.
"If you go back to the master, the Qian Mansion will give 500 Wen to the younger one, 300 Wen to the eldest son, the second son and the third son, and 200 Wen to Chun Tao."
Shu Qingai was very satisfied with Uncle Zhou's honesty, and her asking was just a temptation.
"That's good, Uncle Zhou is old, and in a few years he should be raised in Zhuangzi, and your salary will be one or two silver a month in the future, your three sons are the same as you, I will give you 600 wen a month for the time being, if you work for me faithfully in the future, I will not lose your benefits."
When a few people heard this, of course they were excited! With silver, even if you are a descendant, you will not be too sad when you get old in the future.
The family immediately knelt down to thank him, Shu Qingai saw this battle for the first time, but in order to show his majesty, so that he would not be bullied in the future, he also suffered it alive.
After they got up, she slowly spoke: "This kneeling matter will be exempted in the future." And Chun Tao can write needlework? ”
When Chun Tao heard the new master call his name, he hurriedly stood up, lowered his head and stroked his body and replied: "Chun Tao will be a female worker, and she can also embroider." ”
Shu Qingai is very satisfied, at least she can let this girl make clothes for herself in the future. So as not to trouble Qiu every time, she herself is embarrassed.
Then Uncle Zhou left Chun Tao to guard the house, and the father and son took Shu Qingai and the three of them to the field to take a look, at this time it was the season of rice heading, and 30 acres of the 50 acres of the field were planted by the villagers of Laoshu Village, leaving 20 acres for Zhou Bo's family to plant.
The harvest in these 20 acres of land is harvested every year and a part of the village is left to eat, and the rest will be sent to the Qian Mansion. Shu Qingai said that everything is business as usual.
Finally, Shu Qing loved them to the grape field that she had in mind, and the grapes had just been on the market at this time, and the rumbling grapes were green, but there were not many purple ripe grapes!
She suddenly realized, no wonder the grapes in the store had to be sold for two taels of silver for a pound. It's really expensive!
But with the space holy water in hand, she is not afraid, besides, when she buys this grape field, she does not plan to sell the grapes, she wants to make wine!
Wine is not in this era, and so many people in the novel have made a fortune from this project, so she wants to follow suit.
Fifty acres of vineyards, even if they are very little ripe, are not as vast as this field.
The grape field is at the foot of a mountain, and there are many people who want to come to steal grapes, Shu Qingai is not a stingy person, but when he thinks of those who come to steal grapes and Laoshu Village, his heart is very good!
She can't forget the gray days of more than ten years when the former master lived in Laoshu Village, and the last time she returned to the door with Limo Chen, the faces of those people in the village, she was not happy in her heart.
However, this problem cannot be solved at once, and if they want to guard the fifty acres of land, even a few of them will definitely be too busy.
Thinking that this is not the current problem, it is better to put it first.
Back in Xinghua Village, Shu Qingai and Zhou Dahai told them their thoughts.
When it comes to making wine, of course, the husband and wife are for the so-called literature! This is exactly what Shu Qing thinks in love!
"Sister Shu, I've only heard of grain wine, rice wine or something, I really haven't heard that this grape can also make wine, but you bought the land for a thousand taels of silver, don't waste it."
Zhou Dahai's heart was up and down, he simply felt that Shu Qingai's woman was bold! That's a thousand taels of silver, and it's a bit unreliable to use it for this so-called literary thing?
"Yes, Sister Shu, why don't you just pick grapes and sell them? Have you seen the fruit shop today, and the grapes can be sold for two taels of silver for a pound? That fifty acres of land, to say the least, has to produce seven or eight hundred catties, right? How can you still earn a few hundred taels in this way? ”
As soon as Qiu thought that those grapes would be used to make some wine that he didn't know if he could make or not, he was anxious and distressed, so he said what he thought in his heart.
"Sister-in-law, you have also seen that although the price of this grape is two taels of silver a catty, who will buy it? There are also few wealthy families in the town. So your idea doesn't work at all. I also saw this wine in the mountains when I was a child, and the old man gave me a book, and I heard that there is a place overseas where people only drink this wine. ”
Shu Qingai's set of rhetoric made Zhou Dahai and his wife stunned when they heard it!
Of course, they, the countrymen, believe in the book, so when they saw Shu Qingai say this, they didn't persuade each other.
"Brother Dahai, sister-in-law, I originally wanted to help you find something to make a living, but this garden also needs Brother Dahai to help me manage it, so let's do it, in the future, the harvest of this Zhuangzi, you four, I six."
When the two heard this, they stood up directly from the stool excitedly, and the two refused in unison!
"No, no! This is all the land that you bought with your silver, how can we take a share, if you feel sorry in your heart, you will be paid Brother Dahai's wages. ”
Qiu Shi thought, this is also the way to go, don't want any money, obviously Shu Qingai will not agree.
"How can this be done, this is necessary, you know, I am alone, how can I spend so much silver, and now I have cooperation with Hua Jinhan to open a store, and I also have income."
Thinking about it, Shu Qing's love is really a little desolate! She is now a little rich woman, just a share of Chunfeng Building, she also has more than 5,000 taels a month, but with so much silver, it doesn't make sense to spend it alone.
I miss that man again, and I wonder if he has now arrived at his home in the north.
