Chapter 67: The Beginning of the Tea House

Chapter 67

The summer nights are already short, but in the blink of an eye, the sun rises again. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Two days later, the mason took his apprentice and his men into the village and dug the foundation according to the drawings that had been agreed with the owner.

In this way, before the village spread that Zhang Manchu was going to build a new house, the mud and tile class had already brought people to break the ground. Of course, when the carts of green bricks and tiles, as well as the ox carts and ox carts of timber, entered the village one after another, and were unloaded into the open space in front of the mountain, the people in the village naturally knew about this important event.

However, as for what is the rumor in the village now, Zhang Manchu and Lin Baozhu didn't bother to inquire at all. As a new batch of tea leaves came out, they finally glued the red label of Zhang Ji on the bags of tea paper, and along the way, they also carved the word Zhang Ji on the bamboo tube.

Because of making tea during the day, the couple guarded the oil lamp at night and carved marks on the bamboo tube overnight, and now they have not rested for several days. Rao is a person like Zhang Manchu who is used to it, and he can't bear it, let alone what kind of food he wants to eat. They couldn't wait to jump on the kang immediately, sleep drunk and dream of death.

It was also with this experience that Lin Baozhu had just been raised with a ruddy and blood-colored face, and he began to turn sallow again. was a little radiant, and quickly returned to the original weak and even weak and somewhat fluttering appearance, so as to make Zhang Manchu feel distressed.

Without waiting for Lin Baozhu to come up with a way, Zhang Manchu simply asked the villagers to help paste the red seal on the tea paper, and then find someone to carve his own mark on the bamboo tube.

Lin Baozhu's mind is now confused, and he can't wait not to turn at all. But she also knows that everything is not on track now, and even if she is tired, she can't be lazy. After listening to his man's words and thinking about it for a while, he felt that this thing was feasible.

After all, the body is the capital of the revolution, and if you burn down your body in order to save some wages, it will not be worth the loss.

With this consensus, the two quickly settled on a plan. According to the meaning of Zhang Manho, he made packaging for his own tea. Because of the fast sale of tea now, and after revising the contract with the shopkeeper Xu, she also has the heart to develop in a few nearby towns, and if possible, she may have to open a workshop and shop nearby in the future. In this way, the demand for packaging will only increase.

Thinking of this, she went to the house of the grandmother who had bought the chicks and ducks before that afternoon. This mother-in-law's family has a scholar because of a scholar, so life has been tight, even the grandson's clothes are mended and mended, and in the summer day, there is not even a protective shirt to wear, every day wearing small clothes with exposed arms and legs and feet to play with a few benches.

It was also because the little guy was sensible that Lin Baozhu remembered the person Lu Pozi. I have also explained left and right, and if I can pull a handful, I naturally have to pull a handful. What's more, she always thinks that it is not easy to raise a woman who can read in this village.

is not only in a tight life, but also has to suffer from the lukewarm words of others, but no matter how hard it is, he has never moved the mind of the child to study.

Anyway, at this time, she came over with a bamboo tube and tea paper, and of course, the red paper on which she had written the word Zhang Ji at home.

As soon as she said it, Mrs. Lu responded in a loud voice. even had red eyes, took Lin Baozhu's hand and said that she was benevolent and righteous. In Lu Pozi's opinion, this job is really a job to pick up money for nothing, but when there is no one else, make some batter and dip the words on the red paper. Even if you carve words on the bamboo tube, it is not a laborious job, and when your man comes back, he can help for a while. It doesn't delay the work, it's not tired, and you can do three to earn a penny.

"Auntie, don't think about it too much, what difficult things will pass, in the future, Brother Jincai will have a future, and you will come out, and there will be a good time when the time comes." Lin Baozhu patted her hand and persuaded her. Lu Jincai is the son of Mrs. Lu's family who is studying, and I heard that this autumn should end.

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu stopped crying, and responded to the festive words again and again. He even sent Lin Baozhu to the entrance of the fast village, and then walked back with the corners of his eyes.

Of course, Lin Baozhu would not give the work to her family alone, and left Mrs. Lu's house, she went to several families who had dug wild vegetables together before, and finally met Lizheng's daughter-in-law and also informed her.

Knowing that there is a job that can make money by doing it, those daughters-in-law who are gossiping together and resting all stretch out their ears to listen. Seeing that Lizheng's daughter-in-law took over the matter of helping her find someone, all of them suddenly had a smile on their faces and shouted at Lizheng's daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law. After that, many people looked for Lin Baozhu one after another, took tea paper and bamboo tubes and went home to work.

Of course, in order to prevent the abuse of things, every time someone comes to collect something, she will register it. In just a few days, the women in the village visited the door again, and most of the pieces in their hands were not front baskets, and the tea paper and bamboo tubes with the Zhang Ji logo began to circulate in various villages and towns with the tea handed over again and again.

Because there are people in the village who really get wages from Zhang Manchu and Lin Baozhu, and the men who come to work in Zhang's house can still get some food from time to time to take home to the children, so the people who had been looking forward to it before are also ready to move at this time.

Someone Tian Auntie and Aunt Ma walked closer, and they went to inquire one after another. got the letter, said that if anyone wants to carve bamboo tubes with tea paper, they can do it just by going to Zhang's house to get something, and they are overjoyed at the moment, and they have gone to find Lin Baozhu.

There are also a few skillful and shy daughters-in-law, but they were left by Lin Baozhu, and after asking if they would like to follow the tea picking and tea making, they signed the contract documents like Tian Da Niang and became the helper of the Zhang family.

In this way, every time it is time to pay the salary, the newly picked fresh tea leaves are more than 20 catties more than usual. In order to dry the fresh leaves quickly, Lin Baozhu had to work overtime overnight, until the second watch, when he could bake the tea green that had been dried before. In the end, Zhang Manchu couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly hugged his daughter-in-law back to the house, and coaxed his daughter-in-law to sleep, so he went to sort and pack the tea made overnight.

Rao has Zhang Manchu to help, and when all the work is done, the sky is already bright.

After seven or eight days of work like this, although there are many more tea leaves than in the past, Lin Baozhu has to fry green every day, even if Zhang Manchu helps, it is really unbearable. Not to mention cooking, even eating and drinking, you can fall asleep. I was really tired enough, and my body was not as I expected, because I hired someone to help pick tea, so I raised it again.

Seeing that the days are getting more and more profitable, but the two of them have lost their spirits, Lin Baozhu knows in his heart that he can't do this anymore. But even if she wanted to rest, those tea leaves couldn't wait. If you delay for a day, those fresh leaves will change their taste and lose their freshness.

But making tea is a technical job, if you rashly find someone to do it, I am afraid that not only will it not be done well, but it will also smash the signboard that you have worked so hard to erect.

After thinking about it, she discussed with her own man to see if she could let Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma lead people to work separately, one was in charge of picking tea, and the other was in charge of sorting tea leaves and drying and shaking green at home, that is, in the workshop. In this way, people can be divided, so that they can do their own work, and they are not afraid of learning the craft together, but also make the best use of them. Those who are sharp in their hands and feet can pick tea, and those who work meticulously can help the tea workshop to make green.

But in this way, the salary will naturally rise, if she can, she even thinks about teaching Tian Da Niang the kung fu of frying, so that someone can replace her, and when there is something to save in the future, she will delay the tea.

This is also the division of labor and cooperation mentioned in the previous life, and the skills are improved and the efficiency is not too tiring. Although the quality and craftsmanship can be guaranteed, it is not realistic to do business for tea.

After discussing, Lin Baozhu took advantage of the fact that Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma came to hand over the tea, and helped to dry the tea leaves, and told her her her own thoughts. It is said that in the future, two people will lead people to work every day, and the salary will become three taels of silver per month.

The rest of the people are still settled by the pound, but they take care of a meal at noon. In addition, add a fixed expense of 10 cents per day. If you do a good job, there will be a New Year's gift at the end of the year.

Regarding this proposal, Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma both said yes. After all, the two of them are watching, hoarding and Baozhu, in order to earn money for their work, they get up early and are greedy for darkness, and they have lost a lot of weight. If it goes on like this, even the iron man can't stand it.

However, although the two of them did not shirk the work assigned by Lin Baozhu, they refused to accept any of the three taels of silver. You know, the grandfathers in the family work outside the home, and they don't get so much salary in a month. Three taels of silver, converted into enough to buy two acres of thin land and poor land.

In the end, it was Lin Baozhu who persuaded him, and Zhang Manchu came over and said that the two had discussed it, and since he said it, there was no reason to change it. After this time, the two of them can be regarded as responding, and they also received the love of the little couple in their hearts.

With such an incident, the people who were worried that Zhang Manchu and Lin Baozhu couldn't pay before, but they all blew up. There is a fixed salary of ten cents a day, a meal, and the money for picking tea is also calculated, how does it sound like a pie in the sky.

In the next few days, there were many people who wanted to work, and even some half-grown daughters wanted to work with their mothers to earn money to support the family. Of course, Lin Baozhu doesn't need so many people for the time being, only saying that if he needs it in the future, he will hire more people. In the end, although everyone was a little unwilling, in the end, they also knew that it was the business of the owner to use people, and they were not qualified to intervene, not to mention that Lin Baozhu politely took them to pick up handmade objects, and in the end it also gave everyone a way to enter.

In the next few days, Lin Baozhu carefully handed over the details of tea picking to Aunt Ma, and she took charge of the work of picking tea and inspecting fresh leaves. It also taught Aunt Tian how to dry the green, shake the green and fry the green. In fact, Han Qing and Shao Qing are good women, they are all women who are used to doing work, no matter what, they are skillful in their work. So it's only been two times, Aunt Tian and Sister-in-law Wang, even if they have learned almost.
