Chapter 165: The First Grain Shop (2)
In Shen Feng's study, after breakfast, Fu Bo and Uncle Gen were sitting opposite Shen Feng, and when the three of them were discussing the progress of things, Zhao Xiaoyan ran in from outside.
"Lord Shen, the Ma family's shop is finished!" As soon as he entered the door, Zhao Xiaoyan said to Shen Feng with a smile.
"What's the matter? Ma Mao relented? Hasn't he been entangled in the ancestral business and can't lose it?" Fu Bo asked as he stared at Zhao Xiaoyan.
"It was his mother who came out to shoot it, I just came back from there, and then I want you to go over and hand it over. Zhao Xiaoyan said as he sat on the chair next to Fu Bo.
"What about Ma Maocai himself?" Shen Mansion currently does not have talents in this area, if you can, it is best to let a skilled hand like Ma Maocai take it for a while. That's why he asked.
"He's still struggling, but I told him that if he doesn't want to, I'll take someone on a few trips with Faber to test the water at first. Zhao Xiaoyan was a little angry when he thought of Ma Maocai's slow appearance.
"Okay, now the food aspect is the key, if he really doesn't want to, we can't force it, Uncle Gen, you will continue to inspect the tenants today, and see how the private school is going, whether it can start school in the next few days." Fu Bo, you and Xiaoyan have made things clear in the past, they are all neighbors, don't lose them. "Shen Feng saw that things had an eyebrow, and it was still in Feixue Town, which was much more convenient than putting it in other towns. So he stood up and urged Faber to hand them over as soon as possible.
After the three of them left, Shen Feng began to busy himself again. It's just that if his busy business is discovered by others, someone will definitely say that he is not doing his job properly.
However, Shen Feng didn't care, only to see him take out a large piece of reconciled mud from it, put it on an idle table, and with the impression in his mind, he began to make the shape of the stone mill.
He first made two discs out of clay, and separated the upper and lower grinding rows. Then make a grinding groove slightly lower in the lower row of grinding discs, and make a round hole in the middle where the grinding center is placed. Then there are the grooves for putting the grain, the holes for the feeding, and the space for grinding hands, etc.
The most important of these is the texture engraved in the middle of the two rows of grinding discs. It must be reached to the point where the grain enters the center junction from the round hole above, and then travels outward and along the texture and is ground to form a powder in the process of transport.
Although it was very simple to say, and the stone mill that Shen Feng had seen in his impression was not complicated, when he really wanted to make the model alone, he found that it was really not a simple matter. So he tossed around in the study for more than two hours before he could make the model into his impression.
When he was done, he had the dog called.
When the dog who had just entered the door saw the mess of mud in front of Shen Feng, he smiled and said, "Why did you play with the mud by yourself? Hehe, what are you doing?
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm looking for you for business!" Shen Feng interrupted the dog's nonsense, "What happened to the stonemason I asked you to find last time?" Shen Feng asked as he looked at the dog standing next to him.
"Stonemasons, they've already been signed, what's the matter? It's time to use them?"
"Hmm!" Shen Feng stood up, straightened his waist and said, "I don't want the outside world to know about this matter for the time being, I plan to set up a separate mill to process flour, so the stonemason must sign a deed of sale, and the people in the mill must also use our own people, understand?" Shen Feng looked at the dog and said very seriously.
The dog understood what Shen Feng meant, but he nodded and did not speak.
"Go and fetch the two stonemasons, and I'll tell them something, and then you take them and come back with some suitable stones. Shen Feng was relieved when he saw that the dog understood the importance of the matter.
It wasn't long before the dog walked in with two older stonemasons. After the two of them bowed to Shen Feng, Shen Feng didn't say much, just brought them to the table full of mud, pointed to the shape of the stone mill and said, "You guys take a look at this first, think about it, if you use stones to make it, is there any problem?"
After careful observation and mutual discussion, the two old stonemasons came to Shen Feng, bowed down and said, "Master of the family, the old slave has seen it, and it is not difficult to make it, but I don't know its use yet, so it is estimated that some places are not too clear. ”
Shen Feng nodded, "That's nothing, after you understand the general situation, you can choose some white or cyan granite stone first, and you must pay attention to the delicate pattern of the rock when choosing." After the stone is selected, we will improve it according to the situation in the process of making. ”
Just when Shen Feng asked the dog to take the stonemason to mine and select the stone, Fu Bo and Zhao Xiaoyan also sat in the Ma family's grain shop and went through various procedures with Ma Maocai's mother and son. Now that both sides have been decided, things are going very well.
After the settlement was clear, Fu Bo went back to find someone to clean up, while Zhao Xiaoyan stayed in the shop to help the Ma family sort out the items that needed to be carried.
"Auntie, do you have a place to live after you go out?" Zhao Xiao asked when he saw a room full of big bags and small bags.
"Yes, I'll go back to the village to live, the old houses in the village have always been cleaned up, I've asked people to go back and bring the letter, and they will come and move the things away in a while!" Mao Cainiang said with a smile.
"Hehe, as long as there is a place, I thought you would have to live here for a while! Zhao Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"But Xiaoyan, in the future, your brother Maocai will take care of you, your brother Maocai is honest, you can remind you if there is anything you can't do. When it comes to her son, Mao Cainiang is still a little worried in her heart, although after thinking about it, her son plans to temporarily help Shen Fu deal with the purchase of grain, but she knows her son's temperament, so she asks Zhao Xiaoyan behind her son's back.
Zhao Xiao saw that Mao Cainiang was a little worried, "Auntie, don't worry, Lord Shen is very kind over there, and besides, these things have been done by my Brother Mao Cai, and now they are just helping to lead the way." In fact, according to my personal thoughts, if Brother Mao Cai can continue to do it, his future achievements will definitely be much stronger than his own efforts. The family business of the Shen Mansion is getting bigger and bigger, and there will definitely be a need for a lot of talents like Brother Maocai. Zhao Xiaoyan comforted Mao Cainiang while sorting out her things.
In the afternoon, Fauber came with a group of men, and after some tidying up, he settled an accountkeeper and three men who had been arranged here to take care of the shop, and then closed the shop for the time being.
After all, this is the first grain store under the name of the Shen Mansion, so things like the store decoration and store name can only be determined after Shen Feng's consent. Ma Maocai, who agreed to help temporarily, also needed time to deal with personal matters such as his own moving and purchasing land.
Therefore, there are two biggest news in Feixue Town today, one is that the Ma family's grain shop was sold to the Shen Mansion, and the second is that the Shen Mansion began to close down for rectification after taking over.
In this regard, some people speculate about what kind of changes will happen to the Shen Mansion after taking over, and some people regard Ma Maocai's behavior as a loser, and use this as an example for the children of the family to take as a warning.
However, no matter what outsiders said, this matter was a thing worth celebrating for the Shen Mansion, so after everyone had dinner, they all spontaneously gathered around Shen Feng.
"Village Chief, we have to have a resounding name!" The importance of food to everyone is self-evident, so the news of the successful acquisition of the grain store made Lao An, who rarely took the initiative to participate in the gathering in the Shen Mansion, also participated.
"Why don't you call it a full warehouse, right? The granary is full every day, okay?" Youcai pondered for a long time and remembered this.
"No, it's too earthy, it's better to call Xinglong!"
"It's still not good, hurry up and think about it again!"
"This is not good, that is not good, you Yu Gui has been picky for a long time, and I haven't seen you come up with one yourself?" Someone was dissatisfied with Yu Gui's pickiness and protested loudly.
"Aren't I wondering!"
......
Shen Feng looked at everyone talking there with a smile on his face, and after everyone wanted to say a lot of words like Rongchang, Manfu, Changshun, etc., they were not unanimously recognized by everyone. Shen Feng had no choice but to smile bitterly and said, "Since we are not satisfied, anyway, it is the first grain shop in our Shen Mansion, so why don't we just call it the 'first grain shop'?"
"Huh, what, what is this?" Shen Feng's proposal was immediately despised by a group of people.
However, there are also those who agree.
"Actually, it's not bad, isn't it?
"Why don't you call it 'Shenfu First Grain'?"
"The first grain shop, how do you say this? It's easy to remember if you have momentum, right?"
"Isn't it a little louder?"
"What are you afraid of? what you want is this momentum, and we can also add two slightly smaller words 'Shen Fu' on it, right?"
"Okay, then it's decided, 'First Grain Shop'!"
In this way, the name of the first grain shop in Shen Mansion was determined in the frolic of everyone, and the name of "The First Grain Shop in Shen Mansion" also appeared in front of the world for the first time.
