“…… Well, since everyone has no opinion, now you can each lead the people from the factory to the door of the warehouse, and I will wait there. After Xu Miao said this, all the people in the meeting stood up, saluted Qin Wuye, and left one after another.

Their action made the fifth master a little stunned, looked at Xu Miao with a slight frown, and asked:

"What did you tell them about Benhou's identity?"

"Nope." Xu Miao shook his head honestly, and after drinking the cup of tea, he said, "They don't know that the fifth master is the Hou master, just because you are from another village, and the people from other villages who can sit in the conference room are not dignitaries from Fucheng?" You don't really think that the village woman is ignorant. ”

After Xu Miao finished speaking, she grinned lightly.

When the fifth master saw her like this, he was stupid.

Xu Miao was alert that something was wrong, so she quickly put away her smile, saluted sideways, and said:

"Fifth master, I'm going to the treasury now, are you here or ......?"

"You go by yourself, I'll go around, it's not interesting, I'll go back to the tofu shop by myself."

Xu Miao listened to these natural words, and couldn't help but want to complain in her heart, she was still used to eating this thing, shrugged her shoulders and nodded, and went out. The fifth master then stood up and followed out of the conference room......

……

Today, the factory is suspended, the daughters-in-law of the workers are particularly looking forward to it, they have already fulfilled the amount, and they have to go to the town to do a good New Year's goods when they get the salary, and there are many daughters-in-law who come to work in the factory in Xiaobajiazi Village this year, as long as the needlework is good, they are here.

In the past, the annual income was so little, and only during the New Year could you have a good meal, but this is different when working in the factory, every time they pay wages on weekdays, they will take out some of them especially righteously, so that the head of the family can go to the town to cut some meat and come back to improve their lives.

This year, it is definitely better than in previous years, because there is enough money, and it is not impossible to squander it extravagantly.

As usual, everyone received their wages in their respective factories, and they automatically lined up and waited to receive the benefits of the New Year. Xu Miao stood on the chair behind the table, looking at the people in Wuyang and Wuyang in front of him, and her heart was extremely proud.

To put it bluntly, it is her credit to make these people work here willingly. Of course, it is also the result of her efforts in the past six months, and she was excited to express her feelings, and after calming down, she said loudly:

"Today is the first all-staff meeting since the establishment of our factory. Aunts, aunts, and sisters-in-law have worked hard. ”

After saying this, Xu Miao bowed respectfully. Seeing this, the women in line below all said things like "not hard" and "it should be". After the noise passed, Xu Miao continued,

"From this afternoon, our factory will be officially suspended, and we are working on the sixth day of the first month, do you know?"

"Clear?!"

The voice of the answer was really loud, and it shook Xu Ya, who was standing on the side, a spirit.

"Now that it's clear, on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, don't be late, it's still the old rule to be late - deduct wages. I don't talk nonsense, everyone line up, come in turn to receive pork and wool green cloth, your salary is 30 wen more per person, this is your reward for half a year, there are no new arrivals, but there is meat and cloth. ”

After saying this, all the women, who had been doing it for more than half a year, cried out and jumped for joy. Even the newcomers are very happy, although there is no thirty Wen, but pork, wool and green cloth are given, and the wages are still settled, such a good thing, where to find it.

Xu Miao looked at everyone's happy appearance, and also raised the corners of her mouth with infection, and swept away, and saw Qin Wuye standing in an inconspicuous place, although he couldn't see any expression, but he should also agree with what he did.

The day before yesterday, she calculated all the accounts, the pork was from her own family, and this silver money naturally had to be counted, excluding the distribution of benefits, and giving these artificial money, the remaining one hundred and thirteen taels of silver, which did not include the silver money that Qin Wuye built for her to build a factory.

In the final analysis, the money earned in this small half a year is three hundred and seventy-two taels of silver, of which two hundred taels are used by Xu Miao to return the silver money that Qin Wuye gave to build the factory. She shared the rest of the silver equally with Qin Wuye.

In just half a year, he earned nearly sixty taels, Xu Miao was excited in his heart, this is just the beginning, the next year is a really high-income year, the money is enough, and he will build a house and a tofu workshop in the spring.

It is imperative to expand the tofu factory, this year, the tofu factory has earned a lot, and in the coming year she will produce dried tofu on a large scale, which is another income, every time she thinks of this, Xu Miao is very happy.

was helped off the chair by Xu Ya, Xiao Nizi went to the account room and held the locked mahogany box in her arms. This box was still entrusted to Da Daqing to help, and it was brought back in the south, and it contained the silver ticket that Qin Wuye deserved, and she was not needed in the factory, and Xu Ya was foolproof.

Holding the box, walk all the way back to the tofu workshop, Chunsheng and they have already finished work, the account books and silver money were handed over to San Lang, Qin Wuye also returned to the south house early, and was instructing San Lang to practice calligraphy with Xiao Wu, Qin Xiaoba was also reading a book on the side.

Xu Miao entered the south house, looked at the serious appearance of the three little radish heads, and the condescending attitude of Qin Wuye, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said:

"Fifth master, the little girl has something to say, and I have to bother you......"

Qin Wuye had already heard her footsteps coming back, turned his head to look at Xu Miao, and saw that she was holding a peach wood box in her hand, stood up, and said:

"Let's go."

The two of them went to Xu Miao's room one after the other, and Xiao Nizi pointed to the opposite side of the table and said:

"Fifth Master, please take a seat."

After both of them sat down, Xu Miao put the peach wood box on the table, pushed it in front of Qin Wuye, and said:

"Fifth master, this is the income of this small half a year, the extra two hundred taels of silver in it, you built a factory for me at the beginning, and now it is all returned, there are account books in it, fifth master, please see."

Qin Wuye didn't squeak when he heard it, but really opened the box, took out the account book and looked at it, and said:

"You wrote that?"

"Fifth Master, yes." Xu Miao nodded.

"Good words." After Qin Wuye finished speaking, he continued to look at the account books.

Xu Miao got up and came to the stove, took the water that had been boiling for an unknown amount of time, brought it to make tea, carefully brewed two cups of tea, and Xu Miao came to the table with the teacup to serve tea. The room was very quiet, only the sound of Qin Wuye looking through the account books and papers, after a while, putting down the account books, the fifth master said:

"Aren't you angry?"

"What?!" Xu Miao didn't understand.

"You are alone with Benhou, don't you worry about what others say?"

When Xu Miao heard this, she rolled her eyes unconsciously, the fifth master saw it really and was not annoyed, waiting for her to explain.

"What the fifth master said, you only know that this affects the reputation of the little girl."

Qin Wuye raised his eyebrows: "Yo? Are you blaming Benhou? ”

"Shouldn't it be blamed?" Xu Miao asked rhetorically, Qin Wuye didn't answer, but laughed "poof", it's rare, this is the first time Xu Miao has seen the fifth master who is not sneering, Xiao Nizi is not so stubborn, took a sip of tea, and said:

"Reputation doesn't really matter to me too much."

"Oh? Why? Fifth Master Qin wondered.

"The fifth master was born in a wealthy family since he was a child, so he naturally doesn't know what it means to be precarious, but I have really experienced it, when you can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes, what's the use of the festival? Can it bring you clothes, or can it bring you food? ”

"As long as I am strong, I will naturally have a reputation, just like now, I am locked in a room with you, and there may be people who talk a lot and say something that is not acceptable, but those aunts and uncles in my factory will defend me, and they know that I am really talking about business, not nonsense."

Xu Miao said very calmly, and Qin Wuye also agreed with it when he heard it, it is true that he doesn't understand what it feels like to be hungry, but a girl can be so powerful, what is behind the strength, it goes without saying.

He is in charge of the entire Liaodong Mansion, and he naturally has a lot of things to face, if he can't understand this, then who can understand it?! Thinking of this, Qin Wuye opened the box, took out a hundred taels of silver tickets from it, put it on the table, and said:

"Since I said that I will partner with you to open a factory, in your words: I am the salary, and you are the technology. Then you should take this one hundred taels. After speaking, Qin Wuye took out a brocade bag from his cuffs, put it on the silver ticket, and said,

"I still remember the reward that Ben Hou said when I came today, this is, Ouyang asked me to bring it, and the tofu factories that opened are said to be very good in winter, this is a dividend, take it."

For things that belong to him, Xu Miao has never been polite, took the brocade bag, opened it and took a look, a few silver tickets, it seems that this tofu workshop has opened a lot, Xiao Nizi looked up at Qin Wuye, and said jokingly:

"The fifth master is really funny, you have something that belongs to me, and you want to reward me?"

"Haha...... Hahaha......" Qin Wuye smiled heartily, pushed the one hundred taels of silver tickets in front of Xu Miao, and said, "Is this okay?" ”

Xiao Nizi looked at the silver ticket proudly, picked it up, pouted, and said:

"Reluctantly."

After speaking, after putting away the brocade bag, Xu Miao went to the ground, saluted sideways and said, "It's not early, the little girl will cook, eat lunch, and the fifth master will be in a hurry." ”

"Hmm!" Qin Wuye did not object this time, nodded, put the peach wood box in his hand on the table, and said: "Let this be put on you, if you have my dividends, put it inside, if you feel inconvenient, the seal will be given to you, and you can deposit it in the money bank." ”

When Xu Miao heard this, he looked at the box on the table, nodded, locked his things in the cabinet, and went to the outhouse to cook, while the fifth master went to the south house and continued what he had just done.

Xu Ya and Ouyang Zikite also came back at this time, Xu Ya changed her clothes and came over to help light the fire, while Ouyang Zikite was helping to pick vegetables. At first, she wanted to help, but Xu Miao disagreed, but she couldn't resist this girl, and she said that she did not know what to say......
