Chapter 7 7. Workshop expansion (please vote for various)

There are hundreds of workers recruited at the construction site next to Mianshui River, many of whom are tenants in Huangjiazhuang. It is a slack time after all, and if the tenants want to earn more food, the owner will not say anything. Besides,

, the sooner this workshop is built, the sooner new paper can be produced, and the money invested by the Huang family can be recovered sooner.

Next to the construction site, a temporary stove and thatched hut were first built as a place for cooking. There were a large number of mallows in a wooden basin, and a large basin containing the tofu that Li had just made today.

In the pottery pot was placed the black watercress, and in the other three large wooden barrels above the stove, washed corn was steaming, emitting white heat.

In another large pot, pork was being stewed, and the smell of meat was very strong.

According to the rules set in advance, the meals on the construction site must include meat once every ten days. In addition, the corn for each meal is dry rather than thin. As for vegetables, it is either mallow or radish. Add some

Boil salt or watercress with water.

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

Seeing Huang Yueying, Mrs. Li quickly saluted, and then said, "My dear lady, I steamed three buckets of corn today. I thought there would be pork meat and mallow, which should be enough. If not, there will also be tofu."

Huang Yueying nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Li. Did Aunt Li count the money for this tofu into the purchase cost?"

"Little madam, you are joking. You taught me how to make tofu. How can I calculate the price of tofu?" Li glared and became a little unhappy, "This workshop belongs to you, madam.

The master’s family, I work for the master’s family, that’s my duty.”

Huang Yueying felt a little helpless when she heard this tone. She said so, but making tofu was not her order! But in the final analysis, in this era, slaves are the property of the master... This is the case with Zhou Yang and Li.

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

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

Huang Cong thought for a moment, "Sister, I don't need any money... You were the one who taught me how to fish trap..."

Huang Yueying glared, "Will 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. We are not a family, so we have to calculate the money clearly. "The tofu and fish soup is also good. I am afraid that the young man will not be able to catch so many fish."

"Then just put down more fish cages." Huang Cong said that he was serious about setting up fish cages. Now he has learned many skills from his sister, and he also thinks about where fish like to live, and can do it every day.

After catching four or five big fish, several uncles in the clan wanted to trade fish with him.

"That's pretty much it. Anyway, whether you set traps or do other things, as long as the workshop is open for one day, you can catch fish and sell them to Aunt Li. Do you understand?"

"Oh, I see."

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

"When the workshop is expanded and the bamboo paper business is launched, there will be more people working on it and more food will be needed. Xiao Shisan, this is a long-term business."

"I understand, sister, but when manpower is limited, I am only one person after all."

"So you can join forces with other brothers, but you have to pay attention to safety."

"But after all, we are the heirloom of farming and studying..." 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 work in the fields? Isn't farming also labor? Or is catching fish and setting them in traps not labor?"

Huang Cong shook his head.

"There is nothing shameful in exchanging labor for reward. Even if you sell these things, as long as you get it legitimately, it is fair and honest."

Huang Cong nodded thoughtfully.

Huang Yueying smiled and touched Huang Cong's head. After all, she was only eight years old. She always heard adults say that the Huang family was a heirloom of farming and education. Sometimes she would regard this saying as a golden rule. It was too old-fashioned. So, education

, you have to start from the doll.

"This lady is absolutely right." At this time, a voice came from the side.

Several people looked over and saw a young man, more than seven feet tall (a foot was about 23 centimeters in the Han Dynasty), wearing blue straight clothes and a sword on his waist. At first glance, it seemed that he did not come from a poor family.

"Who are you?" Huang Cong asked again. Today, there were many people with strange faces coming to Zhuangzi, including horses and carriages.

"My surname is Chen and my name is Yue. I have been studying here and heard that there is a talented girl in Jingxiang. She is only 12 years old, so I made new paper and came here to visit." Chen Yue briefly introduced to a few people and also said about himself.

the goal of.

"Have you met Chu Zhi?" Huang Yueying didn't understand that someone could come here with admiration at this time?

Zhou Yang left home about ten days ago. This time was enough for a round trip from Mianyang and Xiangyang. After all, this was the Three Kingdoms. Even if Chuzhi in Xiangyang already had a name, she estimated that it would take at least two or three days for someone to arrive.

Just come over there.

This person's surname is Chen, and I am afraid that someone from the Chen family came here with her uncle and his team to get a share of the pie.

"Never, but my father has seen it." Chen Yue then said with a smile, "The new paper is as white as snow, smooth and delicate. He has read Cheng Yangong's letter. The ink does not spread after entering the paper, and the pen is sharp and easy to write.

For writing, there are many papers that are better than Cai Hou. Chengyan Gong also said that Chu paper should be popular all over the world. Therefore, 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.

The art of papermaking!”

"Then you asked 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. When others praise her sister, it is more useful than praising him.

Huang Yueying was helpless. This man's father could actually see the letter from his old father to his uncle. He must be an official in Jingzhou, and his status is not too low. Nowadays, most of the officials in Jingzhou are children of aristocratic families. Seeing such a piece of paper,

It would be strange not to be tempted.

There is currently only one place in Huangjiazhuangzi that looks like a workshop, and the other looks like a place where civil engineering work is being done, so this person's goal is too obvious.

"I'm sorry, I never thought that the young lady of the Huang family would be in front of me." Chen Yue quickly apologized and bowed.

Huang Yueying first nodded as a greeting, and then said, "If your family wants to be a part of it, go to my father quickly, identify yourself and come to visit. It's useless to come here."

Chen Yue was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect this to be noticed, "Can you please give me some advice, little lady, thank you very much."

Then he almost hid his face and ran away. He could guess that the people here were related to Huang Chengyan, but at most they were slaves or slave masters, but he never thought... it would be really embarrassing if the real master was in front of him.

However, this girl is smart in mind, and her words and deeds are quite grand. She is not inferior to the men. She is indeed a talented woman who can make new paper.

…

The old father has already arranged the affairs of the members, Huang Yueying will not care about it, and will not have any opinions.

To her, how to make the lives of the workers in front of her better is more meaningful. After all, this world belongs to the people of the world, and the group of people in front of her are part of the people of the world, and they are also the representatives of the majority of the people in the world.

.

No matter how big the aristocratic family is, in terms of number of people, their proportion is still a small part.

Throughout the dynasties, during the Little Ice Age, crop yields decreased, and then land was annexed, and wealth was concentrated in a few people. The rich got richer, and the fields were spread across the country, while the poor got poorer, leaving no place to stand.

Then he had no choice but to overturn the table and rebel.

This principle is also the same in later generations. However, due to the increase in crop yields, fewer people will starve to death, but most people can still only be busy for survival, with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and a house, so they can live peacefully.

After this life.

Not long after, it was time for dinner. Today, the workers looked at the pork stewed by Li's. The smell of the meat wafted far away. They also knew that today was the first day of work, and they were willing to use their hands hard.

, the foundation was also dug very quickly.

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

But, the host is willing to give me food!

They also saw it today. It was cart after cart of grain being pulled inside. How could there be less food for them?

Sure enough, when it was time for dinner, they lined up to eat. They ate dry corn rice, winter squash with watercress, and some tofu. Everyone was given a fat and big piece of pork, poured with some soup,

That's called gluttony. This food is much better than what they eat at home! Some people even thought about saving some meat to take home for their families to try.

"Today is the first day of the expansion of the workshop. Let you know that the daily dinner is made of dry corn! My girl said that building a house in winter is hard work, so meals must be guaranteed.

, So, every ten days, there will be pork meat to eat." Mrs. Li opened her mouth to explain to the group of people while serving food for others.

"Mrs. Zhou, are you serious?" Some people don't believe it. Having meat to eat on the first day of work is already a sign of kindness from the owner. In the future, he will have to eat it once every ten days, so this owner's house...isn't that great?

.

"It's true. Today, my daughter-in-law came here to check on the food, for fear that I would treat you badly!"

"Hahaha, thank you so much, Master!"

"It's the owner who is kind-hearted!"

In this era, there are not many people who are willing to be kind to these poor people, there really are not many people, even if their request is very simple, they just want to eat enough to survive.

At this time, Song Bo stood up. Now he is a skilled worker in the papermaking workshop, but he is also a tenant of Huang Chengyan's family. He has also read a book, so he has to come and watch the expansion of the new workshop, "This is our master's house."

You have a kind heart, but even more so, my girl has a kind heart, but I am not a kind-hearted person, so I have to do the job at hand well, otherwise, go home."

"Don't worry, Manager Song!"

"We are not people who just eat and don't work. Our master treats us well, so naturally we can spare our efforts!"

"good!"

If you can talk to Song Bo, the nearest few workers are the foremen of each group. If they spread this word, the people below will not be able to cause chaos.

Besides, with the white flesh right in front of you, if you really don’t know what to do, you have no choice but to go home.

As the title says, Chapter One.

The New Year is coming, friends, please pray for all kinds of happiness.
Chapter completed!
