Chapter 70: Building a Tofu Factory at Home

The family built a tofu factory, and the rivers and lakes were so excited that they couldn't lie down.

When the three of them arrived in the courtyard, there were already more than twenty people waiting for them. Standing at the front is Li Cheng, who is a little older. Even if he wore coarse linen clothes, he couldn't hide the old man's somewhat arrogant temperament.

"All the men I found were strong men, all of whom could work, and all of them used to build houses with me. But you Jiang family can't use so many people! Pick who you want to leave behind. Li Cheng spoke at Jiang Yi.

The Jiang family's wages are high, and I heard that lunch is also provided. Li Chengdu didn't have to bother to inform his acquaintances of the Jiang family's search for a house to build. There were quite a few people coming.

"Xiao Xia, your aunt burned potstickers in the morning and asked me to come over and bring you more than a dozen. It's still hot, so eat it while it's hot. Xiao Xia, the fermented bean curd and stinky tofu you brought to your uncle yesterday have a unique taste. Especially stinky tofu is better than eating two taels of meat. It's so fragrant! Gu Changgui came to Gu Xia and gave her the potstickers he brought.

Their Gu family borrowed their niece's light, but they didn't do any work, so their niece gave them ten days' wages in advance, a total of six yuan. Enough for them to go into the city to buy some coarse grain and come back for emergencies.

Gu Changgui also has two sons, plus Gu Sister-in-law, and when it comes to stinky tofu, they all have an aftertaste.

This thing is old and domineering, and people who will taste it will never forget it when they eat it!

"Uncle went back and thanked my aunt for me. Why did the sister-in-law in the lobby come so early? Isn't it just a matter of cooking a big pot of rice at noon? Gu Xia looked at the sister-in-law in the lobby who had come with her early morning.

Sister-in-law Gu has a good personality, and most of the time she has a warm smile on her face, "I'm staying at home, why don't I come over early, what can I do?" ”

She has ten cents for a lunch, and the salary is easy to earn, but she is not sure. I just want to do more work.

Gu Xia understood what Sister-in-law Gu meant after thinking about it a little, and she didn't have much to say. With her sister-in-law's character, she didn't let her work more, for fear that she would be uneasy.

The strong man behind Li Cheng saw that Gu Changgui and the others were close to Gu Xiatao, and he chuckled in his heart.

The three men in the Gu family accounted for three places at once. It's not much of a place to build a tofu factory, and it's easier to build than a house.

The Jiang family gave Gao Gong another salary, and he was afraid that ten people would be used to support him. More than half of it must have come for nothing.

These villagers wanted to understand this, and one by one they drooped their heads.

"Daughter-in-law, you have a good eye, you come to pick people." Jiang Yi looked at his daughter-in-law.

Li Cheng's pupils dilated when he heard this, and he was obviously shocked.

In his impression, the eldest son of the Jiang family is an elegant and handsome person.

I didn't expect to please a woman so much, which really surprised him.

In the past, how many marriageable ladies in the capital wanted to marry into the Jiang family, but they failed to do so.

It is rumored in Beijing that the eldest son of the Jiang family is ruthless and is an unintentional person who does not understand the love of men and women. There are even rumors that the eldest son of the Jiang family has a habit of dragon yang.

There are so many famous ladies in Beijing, so I can't look down on any of them.

Li Cheng never dreamed that Jiang Yi was a good village girl. He also thinks a little higher about Gu Xia. Even the eldest son of the Jiang family can win the woman, there must be something outstanding.

The strong men in the courtyard were all holding their breath and waiting for Gu Xia to speak. Don't look at the age of the woman, a word can decide whether they stay or not.

"Xianggong originally used about twenty craftsmen in our family, and there are not many of them. It's all strong men. These people were all found by Master Li, and we trust Master Li's vision. Just leave them all behind, and work as fast as there are more people. Gu Xia proposed.

In these small things at home, Gu Xia has always been in charge. Jiang Yi immediately agreed with his daughter-in-law's decision.

Hearing this, Master Li looked at Gu Xia's gaze mixed with two points of appreciation.

It's a woman who can come and have a pattern!

When the strong men in the courtyard heard this, they were all excited. "Great, we can all stay."

"Take this job, and this time I can support my family."

"The daughter-in-law and children at home are starving to death."

The strong men were extremely grateful to Gu Xia, and they couldn't wait to kowtow to her a few times. Think of her as a savior.

It is difficult to find work in the city, they have no strength and no work, so they can only work at home, and most of them are about to run out of food.

Twenty wen a day is a lifesaver for them.

"I found all of you guys, you can't be lazy when building a house and slap me in the face. Next time I have a job to build a house, don't blame me for not looking for him. Li Cheng spoke.

He has to explain his work, and he can't save time when he is not a person inside and out.

Strong men are not stupid, they know in their hearts, they will only work harder than the other, and they will not be lazy.

Gu Xia walked up to Master Li, and his attitude was quite humble. "Master Li, I have the design drawings of the tofu factory here, and I will give you a reference. I don't know exactly how to build it, you have to say. ”

Li Cheng was praised by Gu Xia like this, and the whole person became even more arrogant.

The daughter-in-law of the Jiang family is a discerning person, and he went to the countryside to build a house.

Li Cheng is quite confident, isn't it a tofu factory, the name is just loud, to put it bluntly, it is a tofu factory. He can build with his eyes closed.

He casually took the design drawing from Gu Xia's hand. glanced at it absently, and the expression became serious with just one look. Holding the design drawings in both hands, he studied them carefully, and he was like two people who didn't care before.

The more Li Cheng looked at it, the more shocked he became, he was the one who took the Ministry of Works to cover the emperor's palace. What house has not been built before? It's the first time I've seen such an ingenious construction style.

"This design was drawn by the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family?"

"No, it was painted by my father-in-law." Gu Xia replied unconcernedly.

Li Cheng's shocked expression eased a little, and he said that a woman who has never seen the world can understand such an ingenious design of the house?

"The Jiang family will also build a house, and he has such an idea about the construction of the house. Why don't you follow me to build a house in the future? Li Cheng looked at Jiang Yi with blazing eyes.

With Jiang Yi having such an idea of building a house, he really wanted to take him as an apprentice. In the future, everything he will pass on to Jiang Yi.

Even if Jiang Yi does not enter the court as an official, if he has the ability to build a house, he can support a large family very well.

"Don't hide it from Master Li, this drawing is made by me. But the ideas are all my daughter-in-law's. I drew it according to what she wanted, and that's why I got this picture. Jiang Yi replied truthfully.

His daughter-in-law has talent, and he has nothing to hide.

Li Chengyan's expression was shocked again, "I didn't expect it to be painted by a woman." It's incredible. I don't know if the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family is interested in the construction of the house. I can take you as an apprentice and teach you more about building a house. ”

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in building a house, I'm only interested in making money. But thank you Master Li for your kindness. Gu Xia refused.

What does it mean to build a house? How many dollars can you make? That's not what she's going to do.

Li Cheng didn't expect to be rejected by Gu Xia, and he was stunned for a long time before stabilizing his emotions.
