Chapter 245
Chapter 245
In the past, people in the village were talking about their parents, but now they are talking about whether there is any problem with the strange man who just passed by.
Liu Yaoqing didn't know about this yet, and he was also happy to hear Wushu Liu said that Shanggu Village was safe, and he could only be safe outside.
Coming out of Fifth Uncle Liu's house, Liu Yaoqing also took a tomato, broke it in half and gave the half-sized one to brother Zhezi, "Our village has produced many capable people."
"Yeah." Brother Zhezi took Liu Yaoqing's hand, and the two of them walked forward with the same steps, stepping on the same stone slab.
Shanggu Village was the first village to get rich, and the first village to get in touch with the workshops on the mountain. It was also the first village to learn to read and calculate accounts. Later, scholars even built schools, and Shanggu Village was the first.
They were the first to become different from other villages. Although they are still ordinary farmers, some ideas, practices, etc. have changed long ago, but they have not noticed it.
This time, if anyone's family is not in harmony and intrigues all day long, even if the villagers don't say anything, they can think of it themselves: their own family is calculating that trivial matter every day, and it turns out that other families have already made concerted efforts to advance together. I went out to plant wild raspberries and got the money.
Back on the mountain, Liu Yaoqing saw Mrs. Li coming in from the outside, holding a piece of cloth, the pattern was similar to the clothes Liu Yaoqing wore on the day she got married.
"Mother, do you want to sew clothes? Does Second Auntie have such materials?" Liu Yaoqing asked.
"I gave her one." Li Shi said, "It's Brother Qing's dowry, I'll use it right now, and Huihuiniang will make you a better one."
"Farewell, there are a lot of cloth in the warehouse, and I don't know when it will be used up. Don't wait for the pattern to become outdated." Liu Yaoqing hurriedly said, "You can decide the things in my warehouse, anyway, I don't plan to separate from them in the future."
There are many warehouses on the mountain, Liu Yaoqing has his own warehouse, he seldom visits it, but if Mrs. Li takes something, he will record it.
Although there is no separation, everything in the warehouse has clear ownership, what belongs to Liu Yaoqing belongs to Liu Yaoqing, what belongs to Li family belongs to Li family, and even Brother Xing and Brother Hui's wages are their own. It's not for the whole family, but when necessary, everyone's own things can be taken out and become the whole family's.
It's understandable, but it's a whole.
Liu Yaoqing thinks this is a normal family.
"By the way, I bought some materials a few days ago, and I'm going to send them to Brother Guo's house later, and ask his mother to help make clothes." Li Shi said.
"Success, I have to go out in the next few days, and I will bring it to you when the time comes." Liu Yaoqing said.
The clothes worn on the day of marriage are also very particular. Maybe the rich family will hire a special sewing woman to sew, but if the parents love their children, they will basically make gestures with needles and thread, as if they were clothes sewn by themselves, so that the children can wear them to protect the children. .
Naturally, Mrs. Li wanted to make clothes for Brother Xing with her own hands. It was Mrs. Li who made the clothes for Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi, and it was the same for Mr. Guo'er.
After relaxing on the mountain for a few days, Liu Yaoqing got into the carriage again.
This time the three children wanted to come out with them, but it was inconvenient to go outside when it was cold, the kang was burned at home, and there was a hot bathhouse, bathing was not cold, so Liu Yaoqing didn't bring them.
The carriage road turned a corner and went to the village of Guogeer.
There are several brothers in Guo Ge'er's family, and his parents are the most ordinary farmers. Even after getting engaged to Xing Ge, there is not much change. It is very happy to see Liu Yaoqing and Zhe Zi.
"My mother asked me to bring some materials to make clothes for Brother Guo." Liu Yaoqing said, "There are some other food, which are all bought by my mother. Don't worry if Brother Guo is outside, Brother Xing will protect him Woolen cloth."
"Hey, Brother Guo also sent a message back." Guo Ge'er's mother said cheerfully.
"Well, I have something to do outside, so I have to go." Liu Yaoqing didn't stay for dinner, and hurriedly boarded the carriage and went all the way to Dan County.
There are many things to do this year, most of the time they are running outside, plus the affairs on the island, Liu Yaoqing hardly cares about Dan County.Fortunately, with Liu Qing around, he can grasp the big and small things, and write letters to Liu Yaoqing regularly, so he doesn't need to worry about others.
Seeing the fence of Dan County from a distance, Liu Yaoqing only felt very kind.
This place is different from Linhai. The stones used on the Linhai side are whitish, and the walls are white. The walls in Danxian County are dark in color, a bit like the color of the deep sea. Looking at the whole Danxian County from a distance, it looks like a dormant beast. , fierce, huge.
"Da Zhuang, can you see if it's Brother Qing's horse?"
Zhou Dazhuang was dozing off at first, but he hurried out when he heard the movement, took a look and said for sure: "It's Brother Qing's family's horse, I'm afraid it's Brother Qing who came back this time, everyone get ready to open the door!"
Several men surrounded the huge and heavy wooden door of Danxian County. Zhou Dazhuang ran out of the small door, and after he found out that it was really Liu Yaoqing, he hurriedly stood in the distance and gestured.
The door opened slowly, and the carriage moved forward.
There are not many vacant places in Zidan County now. The road from the gate to the various workshops inside is very flat, because the land is not suitable for growing things, and stone flower pots are placed on the side of the road, and the plants are planted inside. They are all the most common flowers and plants, but they look pretty in such a row.
Many of the stewards were taken away. Some of the stewards in Zidan County were promoted by the deputy stewards at the time, and some were promoted later because of their good performance. They haven't spoken a few words to Liu Yaoqing yet.
"I heard that Brother Qing is coming."
"We have to get ready and wait for brother Qing to ask us something."
"I prepare every night. I save things that the chief manager can't handle and ask Brother Qing. Speaking of which, I haven't said a few words to Brother Qing, so don't be so nervous that you can't speak." .”
"Hey, when I came to the interview, I was so nervous that I couldn't speak. I waited for a while before I stepped forward. I didn't expect to be selected."
When Liu Yaoqing came back, everyone in Dan County knew about it.
"Familiar house, familiar window sill." Liu Yaoqing smiled, "I didn't expect that the flower pots are still in good condition. Brother Yin must have helped to take care of them."
Brother Yu was in charge of the small dining hall at first, and he went to Linhai with Brother Lang, and then went to the island. The people from Dan County were not completely evacuated, and Brother Yin was in charge of the small dining hall.
"It just so happens that it's time for dinner." Brother Zhezi glanced at the sky and said.
At this moment, all the workshops were off work, and the men and buddies came out of work and went to the big dining hall.
"Let's go to eat." Liu Yaoqing said happily, "It takes a meal to feel that we are really back."
The two also went to the dining hall, met many acquaintances, talked while eating, and after the meal everyone rested together, Liu Yaoqing felt that she had completely adapted to this place.
After they all rested and went to work in the workshop, Liu Qing came to find Liu Yaoqing again, mainly talking about Dan County.
"This year's output is about [-]% more than last year's, not counting chickens and pigs." Liu Qingdao, "The ledger has been prepared and will be delivered later. Brother Qing, do you want to go to the warehouse to have a look?"
"Look at the ledger first." Liu Yaoqing said, "It's been a hard year, and I've been in Dan County for the past two days, so you can rest too."
"Not tired." Liu Qing said energetically.
He has liked this kind of thing since he was a child, and he has endless energy to do things.In this life, Liu Qing felt that the most correct thing he did was to meet Liu Yaoqing in a stern manner. From then on, if he didn't talk about his success, at least he had a clear conscience.
There is a pile of various ledgers, Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi read it together, but they didn't find any major problems, which made him very happy.
The most important products in Dan County are potato products, corn products, and various types of bread, melon seeds, peanuts, etc. roasted seeds and nuts. The daily shipments are staggering numbers, and the income is extremely impressive.
In addition to the most important gold and silver in the warehouse, the rest is immortal wine, peach wine, etc. The distribution of these things has been stipulated in previous years, and Liu Yaoqing also specifically mentioned this in his letter.
"I reckon they must be thinking about the new year's goods." Liu Yaoqing smiled, "This year is still the same as last year. Let's go to Linhai to have a look later, maybe we can add some seafood."
"En." Brother Zhezi also laughed.
Every year before the Chinese New Year, the workers will get gift boxes, and the stewards will get even bigger ones. These don’t require any money, and they are completely free.Many people are thinking about this, basically relying on the gift box to return home during the New Year does not need to buy much, it is completely enough.
Liu Yaoqing went to see the chicken shed and pig shed again, it was different from before, doubled in size.
The accounting here is done separately, not with those workshops, but the work is the same, and people from that side have to come to kill chickens, pigs, etc.
"Brother butcher Qing is not here this year, the taste of pork is different from that bought from outside." Pei Yu happened to be in the pig shed, and when he saw Liu Yaoqing coming, he happily came over to talk.
"The pork used in the dining hall today is from here, right? It's delicious." Liu Yaoqing smiled.
The medium pigs in the pigsty are very fat. They eat and sleep when they are full, and they ensure that there is food in the trough every time.Pei Yu said happily: "This is the third batch of pigs. Choose the fastest growing, largest and most edible pigs."
"It can be seen that it is bigger than the first batch." Liu Yaoqing said, "How about the chicken coop?"
"There are more chickens in the chicken shed." Pei Yu went to see the chicken shed together with Liu Yaoqing.
There are roosters specially fed for meat, some hens specially kept for laying eggs, and some chickens that are about to be caught and killed, all of which have special sheds.At this time, it was windy outside, so it was impossible not to wear thick clothes, but it was still very warm in the chicken shed, so it was fine to wear unlined clothes.
"Eggs... I remember that the approximate output per day is..." Liu Yaoqing thought for a while and said the number.
Pei Yu nodded, "It's almost like this every day."
"En." Liu Yaoqing walked around in the chicken shed, and then left with the account books of the chicken shed and pig shed.
Most of the eggs are used to make bread, or fried poached eggs, put in the bread with meat, the price is only a little more expensive than the eggs outside, and most people in the county can afford it.
Back in the house, Liu Yaoqing climbed onto the kang and patted her side and said, "Brother Zhezi, come quickly, I want to lie on you. Our Dan County is too big, and my legs are weak after walking around."
