Chapter 36 Workshop
The movements of Su Mingjiang's house, everyone in the village should know, and many people who are active have also calculated, thinking that next year they must leave some mountainous land, and the lower land will be used to grow vegetables.
The old house of the Su family.
Because the family has been separated, Su Mingshan directly took his daughter-in-law and children to the county seat to make a living. As for his land, it was also given to a brother to rent and plant.
As for Su Minglin, the fourth elder of the Su family, he also continued to work in the silk shop of the old man in the town.
The old house of the Su family is also the third Su Mingfeng's family and the old man Su and his wife are living, and there is no difference from before.
The only difference is that the two families cook separately, and the money earned does not have to be handed over to their parents, but can be saved and spent by themselves.
The third husband and wife are both diligent people, and they did not rent their brothers' fields after they separated, but the work in their own fields was enough for the two of them to work.
Xiaohe Village is located in the northwest of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the grain grown is upland rice, corn, corn, beans, and some drought-tolerant grains.
The autumn harvest had not yet arrived, so the couple sprinkled some radish seeds in the idle mountains, and the local area was deserted.
There are many people who think the same as Su Mingfeng, and they are all moved when they see Su Mingjiang's family making money by growing vegetables.
And Su Mingjiang has already bought the vacant land in the east, and is asking Su Mingfeng to help find someone to build a workshop.
"Second brother, are you going to open a workshop? Will this work? ”
Although he was already moved by what the second brother said, the honest Su Mingfeng was still a little worried.
The opening of this workshop is not related to his family, and many people in this village are also preparing to grow vegetables next year.
He was afraid that the second brother's words would be too full, in case the pickle business was not big and the pickles could not be sold, Su Mingjiang would not be able to stay in the village in the future.
Su Mingjiang knew his younger brother's worries, patted him on the shoulder, and said confidently, "Third brother, don't worry, this pickle business has been opened after more than half a year, and it will definitely be better next year." Maybe it's just that the vegetables in our village are not enough, you must know that there are few vegetables this winter, and you can't live without vegetables all day, right? ”
"This big family has a greenhouse and can eat fresh vegetables, but how can the common people have those precious things? Even if you have land, you have to grow food, so where can you be willing to grow vegetables that don't feed you? Isn't this pickle the perfect winter dish? ”
"This pickle has been preserved long enough, but the more pickled it is, the more flavorful it is, it sells cheaply, and the taste is delicious, and it doesn't sell well!"
Su Mingfeng was dizzy by what Su Mingjiang said, so he could only scratch his head and smile, "Anyway, the second brother has a number in his heart, and I don't understand this, but I listen to what the second brother said makes sense." ”
"Don't worry, where can I, the second brother, deceive you?"
With the help of his brother Su Mingfeng, some things that Su Mingjiang didn't understand were handed over to him to do.
Then, the construction of the first pickle workshop in Xiaohe Village began vigorously.
Not only did Xiaohe Village feel happy and excited, but even the village chief of Wangjia Village next door brought someone to inquire.
Since the patriarch got Su Mingjiang, he also tried his best to promote the use of mountains or lower places to grow vegetables.
When the time comes, the pickle workshop will buy the vegetables that are grown, and as long as they are in good condition, the price is as much as the one in town.
This news directly stunned the village chiefs who came to inquire in Wangjia Village.
After coming back to his senses, he was ecstatic, people who planted the land knew that the mountains were not good, and the inferior fields were not enough, and maybe the harvest was not as many as the seeds!
Let's grow vegetables, if you can't finish eating, you can only dry vegetables and eat them in winter.
But not many people want to waste land and grow so many vegetables!
Now that someone buys vegetables, how can they not be happy?
This is a fresh dish, a cheap pound to say less also have three or four Wen, more expensive like courgette (cucumber) a pound to eight Wen, this is a precious vegetable, I heard that it is from Fanbang tribute, it is not easy to clean up.
In this season, can it be a few hundred pounds?
There are other dishes, such as white radish, beans, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, etc., everything that can be made into pickles can be sold for money.
It's just to create opportunities for them, the common people, to make money, how can they not be happy?
Of course, at present, only the people of Xiaohe Village and Wangjia Village know this news.
This opportunity to make money has to let the news spread more slowly, otherwise there are more vegetables, in case the pickle workshop wants enough vegetables, isn't this a trick?
Therefore, under the consciousness of the people in the two villages, the news that the pickle workshop will harvest vegetables next year has not been widely spread.
Let's wait until they get some money first!
After a month of busy work, the pickle workshop was built, occupying more than two acres of land, and the east and west sides were not enough, so they pushed some to the north.
The workshop was rectangular in shape, except for a gate on the south side that allowed two carriages to enter and exit, and the remaining three sides were covered with shantytowns, except for the roof, which was raised with pillars on all sides.
The main place is to put the pickle jar here, and it does not need to be built into a house.
In the middle of the courtyard are three wells, and in the middle of the well are pools made of stones, which are used to wash vegetables and vegetables, and there are some wooden shelves and baskets for drying, and the ventilation is neat.
The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and except for a few large trees, there is no dirt in sight in the rest of the place.
After all, it is a place with a lot of water, and it really needs to be muddy, and the water must not be muddy?
Su Tang stood at the door, looking at the spacious place inside, imagining the scene of starting to get busy next summer, and felt very happy.
"How?"
"It's a big place, how many people do you have to fill it?"
"Why do you want so many people? Underneath these sheds are mainly pickle jars. ”
"Oh!"
This autumn is coming, and at this time, Shen Yunniang's belly has already been pregnant for four or five months, and she is a little slow between walking.
She has completely thrown away the work of pickles, and completely handed it over to Su Mingjiang, she just takes care of herself.
On this day, Shen Yunniang was cutting fabrics in the house, preparing to make autumn shirts for the people in the family.
Su Tang sat silently on the side, holding a needle and thread in his hand, Ha had a cut purse style, and silently hung his head to thread the needle and sew the purse.
Yes, it is to sew a purse, she can't embroider, this is all embroidered by her mother, and the rest of her body will be sewn by her.
It's not that she wants to come, it's her mother who said that seeing that she is also old, she should learn some of the needlework that her daughter's family should learn.
Su Tang pursed his lips, unwillingly with a needle in one hand and a purse in the other, slowly sewing the edges.
Then listen to her mother's chatter.
"It's not that my mother wants to detain you, you are a daughter's family, you can play at will when you are young, but in the end, you will grow up, and you should say goodbye to you in the twenty-eighth year, if nothing will happen where will there be an in-law who can take a fancy to you?"
Su Tang secretly rolled her eyes, I make more money, buy a few more people, let them do any work, can't I be a lady myself?
