On the construction site by the water, there are hundreds of workers recruited, many of whom are tenants in the Huangjia Zhuangzi, and now it is a slack farmer, and the tenants want to earn more food, and the owner will not say anything. Besides, the sooner this workshop is built, the new paper can be produced one day earlier, and the money invested by the Huang clan can be repaid as soon as possible.

Next to the construction site, a temporary stove and thatched hut were first built, which was a place for cooking, a large number of winter sunlows were placed in a wooden basin, and a large basin was placed with the tofu that Li had just made today, and the black and non-slippery autumn was placed in the clay pot next to it, and among the other three large wooden barrels on the stove, the washed corn was steamed, steaming white.

In another large cauldron, pork is stewed, and the smell of meat is very strong.

According to the pre-set rules, the food on the construction site must be eaten once every ten days, that is, once every ten days, in addition, the corn and rice for each meal are dry rather than thin, and as for vegetables, either hollyhock or radish, add a little salt or watercress and boil it in water.

Today is the first day of work, so Li specially made a plate of tofu.

Seeing Huang Yueying, Li hurriedly saluted, and then said, "Little lady, I steamed three buckets of corn today, thinking that there are still pork meat and winter sunhock, which should be enough, if not enough, there is also tofu." ”

Huang Yueying nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Li can count the money for this tofu into the cost of purchasing?" ”

"The little lady laughed, you taught you how to make tofu, how can I calculate the money for tofu!" Li's eyes glared, and he was a little unhappy, "This workshop belongs to the little lady, the little lady, you are the master, I do things for the master, that is my duty." ”

Huang Yueying was a little helpless when she heard this tone, saying so, but making tofu was not what she ordered! But in the final analysis, in this era, the slave is the property of the master's family...... Zhou Yang and Li are like this.

Even if she wanted to change it, she couldn't change it.

Then she looked at Huang Cong, "Little Thirteen, from tomorrow onwards, you put a few more fish cages every night, and the next morning you will send some fish over for Aunt Li to buy with you." ”

Huang Cong thought for a while, "Sister, don't want money...... Originally, you also taught the fish cage ......"

Huang Yueying's eyes widened, "Do you accept it?" ”

Huang Cong's little head shrank and nodded, he didn't dare to say no.

On the side, Aunt Li smiled and nodded when she saw this, she was not a family, so she had to calculate the money to understand, "Tofu fish soup is also good, I'm afraid that Xiao Langjun won't be able to catch so many fish." ”

"Then just a few more fish cages." Huang Cong said that he was serious about getting out of the cage. Now he has learned a lot of skills from his sister, and he can also think about where the fish like to live, and he can catch four or five big fish every day, and several uncles in the clan have to exchange fish with him to eat.

"It's pretty much the same, anyway, if you set a trap or if it's anything else, as long as the workshop is in one day, you can catch fish and sell it to Aunt Li, understand?"

"Oh, I see."

Huang Yueying breathed a sigh of relief, talking to people in this era, sometimes you have to be reasonable, and sometimes you have to ...... It really doesn't make sense.

"At that time, the workshop will be expanded, the bamboo paper business will be spread, there will only be more workers, and there will be more food, Xiao Thirteen, this is a long-term business."

"I understand, sister, but when manpower is poor, I am only one person."

"So you can join the rest of the brothers, but you have to be safe."

"But what the hell are we going to cultivate and read ......heirlooms," Huang Cong was a little worried, he was afraid that others would say that he was a businessman.

"How about farming and reading heirlooms? Don't some uncles and brothers also have to go down to the land to farm? Isn't farming also labor? Or is it not labor that you catch fish and fall into traps? ”

Huang Cong shook his head.

"There is no shame in exchanging labor for payment, even if you sell these things, but as long as you get it rightly, you are fair and open."

Huang Cong nodded thoughtfully.

Huang Yueying smiled and touched Huang Cong's head, after all, she was only eight years old, and she always heard adults say that the Huang family is a cultivator and heirloom, and sometimes they will regard this kind of words as a golden rule, which is really too old-fashioned, so education, you have to start from the doll.

"This lady is very right." At this moment, a voice came from the side.

A few people looked over, and saw a young man, more than seven feet tall (about 23 centimeters in the Han Dynasty), wearing a blue straight coat and a sword at his waist.

"Who's down there?" Huang Cong asked again, there are many fresh faces in the Zhuangzi today, and the carriages and horses are sparkling.

"Under the surname Chen, the name Yue, the study tour has come here, I heard that Jingxiang has a talented woman, only 12 years old, so she made new paper, and came to visit." Chen Yue gave a brief introduction to a few people, and also said his purpose.

"Have you seen Chu Paper?" Huang Yueying doesn't understand, can someone come here at this time?

Zhou Yang went out about ten days ago, and this time is enough to make a round trip from Chuyang and Xiangyang, after all, this is the Three Kingdoms, even if it is already famous in Xiangyang Chuzhi, but she estimates that it will take at least two or three days for someone to come over there.

This person's surname is Chen, and I am afraid that someone from the Chen family followed her uncle and their team to come over and want a piece of the pie.

"No, but my father has seen it." Chen Yue then said with a smile, "This new paper is as white as snow, and smooth and delicate, he has read the letter of Chengyan Gong and the state pastor, the ink is not scattered on the paper, the pen is sharp, it is very easy to write, and it is better than Cai Hou's paper." Cheng Yangong also said that Chu paper should be in the world, yes, I want to see what this new paper looks like, and I also want to know what kind of strange woman can improve Cai Hou's papermaking skills! ”

"Then you're asking the right person!" Huang Cong then said proudly, "This new paper was made by my sister!" ”

As far as Huang Cong is concerned, his sister is one of the most powerful people in the world, and it is better for others to praise her sister than to praise him.

Huang Yueying was helpless, this person's father could actually see his old father's letter to his uncle, thinking that he was an official in Jingzhou, and his status would not be too low, but now most of the officials in Jingzhou are children of the family, and it is strange that he is not moved when he sees such a paper.

Huangjia Zhuangzi is currently a place that looks like a workshop, and a place where civil engineering work is being carried out, so this person's goal is too obvious.

"Rude, I never thought that the little lady of the Huang family was in front of me." Chen Yue hurriedly apologized and saluted.

Huang Yueying first nodded as a greeting, and then said, "If your family wants to be involved, hurry up and go to my father, identify yourself and come to visit, it's useless to come to me." ”

Chen Yue was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect this to be seen, "I'm tired of the little girl's advice, thank you." ”

Then he almost hid his face and fled, he could speculate that the people here were related to Huang Chengyan, but at most they were slaves or house slaves, but he never thought about it...... It's really embarrassing to be in front of the main person.

However, this girl is smart, her words and deeds are quite atmospheric, she is not inferior to a man, and she is indeed a talented woman who can make new paper.

……

The matter of the elements, the old father has already been assigned, Huang Yueying will not care, and there will be no opinions.

For her, how to make the life of the group of workers in front of her more meaningful is more meaningful, this world, in the end, is the world of the world, and the group of people in front of her is a part of the people in the world, and it is also the representative of the majority of the people in the world.

No matter how big the family is, in terms of numbers, the proportion is a small part after all.

Successive dynasties, during the Xiaoice period, crop production decreased, and then land was annexed, wealth was concentrated in a small number of people, the rich became richer, the fields were even poorer, and the poor became poorer.

The poor can only turn the table and rebel.

This truth is also the same in later generations, but because of the increase in crop yields, few people will starve to death, but most people can still only be busy for survival, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, plus a house, so they live this life peacefully.

After a while, it was time for dinner, and today, the workers looked at the pork stewed by Li's, and the smell of the meat wafted far away, and they also knew that today was the first day of work, and they were willing to work hard, and the foundation was dug quickly.

Originally, in winter, the land was relatively hard, and it was not suitable for construction.

But the lord is willing to give him food!

Today they also saw it, it was a cart of grain pulled into it, could they have less food?

Sure enough, when it was time for dinner, they lined up to eat, eating dry corn, hollyhock with watercress, and what kind of tofu, and then giving everyone a piece of fat and big pork meat, and drizzling some soup, which was called a gluttony. This food is much better than what they eat at home! Some people even think about saving some meat to take home for their families to taste.

"Today is the first day of the expansion of the workshop, so that you know that every day for dinner, the base is dry corn! My lady said that building a house in winter is hard work, so the food must be guaranteed, so every ten years, there will be pork to eat. While cooking for others, Li opened his mouth to explain to the group.

"Zhou family lady, are you serious?" Some people don't believe that if there is meat to eat on the first day of work, it is already the good heart of the master's family, and they will eat it once every ten days in the future, so this master's family ...... That's great, isn't it?

"It's true, my girl came to check the food today, for fear that I will treat you badly!"

"Hahaha, then thank you to the master!"

"It's the kindness of the Lord's family!"

In this era, there are not many people who are willing to treat their group of mud-legged people, there are really not many, even if their requirements are very simple, they just want to eat enough to live.

At this time, Song Bo stood up, now he is a skilled worker in the paper workshop, but he is also a tenant of Huang Chengyan's family, and he has also studied, so he has to come to see the expansion of the new workshop, "It is our master's family that is kind-hearted, but it is also my girl's good-heartedness, but I am not a kind-hearted person, so I must do the work in hand well, otherwise, go home." ”

"Steward Song rest assured!"

"We are not the kind of people who only eat and don't work, the main family is good to us, and we are naturally willing to do our best!"

"Not bad!"

The few workers who can talk to Song Bo in the vicinity are the small foremen of each group, and if they spread this, the people below will not be able to mess up.

Besides, the flesh of Bai Huahua is in front of him, so if he really doesn't know what to do, he can only rush home.
