But within a day, the whole village knew about the news. Qingyue looked puzzled: "Master, have you heard about it? There are rumors that Jiang Hu and Ye Moer are engaged. What's going on? Some people even saw them talking and laughing."
Isn't this too much? In Qingyue's opinion, since her master has followed her here, Jiang Hu will be the son-in-law of the palace in the future. This is definitely a done deal. How come someone dares to snatch him away halfway
The same goes for Jiang Hu. People with impure intentions should be kept away. Qingyue was worried that Beibei would be angry, but unexpectedly, Beibei was very peaceful.
"What does what people outside say have to do with us? Aunt Qingyue, you have been acting strange recently. Did you misunderstand something? Who Brother Hu likes and who he gets engaged to is Brother Hu's business! Let's make the bacon now, because we have to send it to my parents."
Yes, this is the big deal: "The girl is right. By the way, it is best to use cypress to smoke bacon. I will go to the mountain to find some cypress."
Beibei nodded: "Okay, be careful on the road."
Qingyue went up the mountain to look for cypress trees, while Beibei started to sort out all the seasonings for marinating the bacon and knead the meat evenly. It is not easy to make bacon.
It took more than a day to get the cypress back, and then we started smoking the meat. The pig farm was also built very fast day by day, after all, there were so many people. Every day was different, and after ten days, the pig farm was built.'
The pigs were moved in, and two small rooms were built on the pig farm for people to live in. People were hired to look after the pigs. After all, it was not very safe to keep so many pigs here.
But it is really hard to say who to choose. Sure enough, when the pig farm was built and the wages were paid, some people in the village asked directly.
"Li Zheng, you said that the pig farm is so big, we must find someone to look after it, who do you plan to keep? Do you think I can do it? I will move here to live in the future, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your things and will never lose a pig."
The person who spoke was the same person who had been working before. As soon as these words came out, they instantly attracted the attention of others. It was obvious that everyone was paying attention to this matter now!
Jiang Tian also felt a little embarrassed. After all, there were definitely not that many people needed at the moment. If he chose some of them, he would naturally offend others.
"The people who are going to stay have not yet been decided. There is no rush for this matter. You can all go home and wait for news."
Everyone who wanted to inquire about it was confused. Do we need to discuss this matter at home? However, since the host has said it, it is difficult for others to say anything.
Everyone paid and went home. Jiang Tian actually went to Jiang Hu to discuss: "Little brother, do you have anyone you like? Who do you want to invite?"
Jiang Hu smiled and said, "It's up to you, big brother. But we should still do as my sister-in-law said. If anyone's family is in a difficult situation, please consider it as a favor."
Jiang Tian understood what was going on. He was looking for poor families in the village. He nodded and said, "Okay, then let's find the poor people in the village to do the work."
Jiang Huen sighed, thinking that if the pigs he had now gave birth to piglets, he would not be able to support the pig farm. He still had to go down the mountain to buy piglets. Of course, it would be best for Jiang Yi to do this kind of errand.
Jiang Yi is responsible for buying pigs. Well, this pig farm is very large. It will probably take four people to clean it, and it can be divided into four areas.
One is for the piglets, one is for the male pigs, and one is for the female pigs. The remaining one is for giving birth to piglets. So if you want to clean it, you need at least eight people. Plus two people in the pig feeding area, that's sixteen people.
Two guards, one person to do the accounting, and one person to manage the affairs, exactly twenty people are needed. Jiang Hu roughly calculated for Jiang Tian and decided to recruit twenty people for the time being, and they would talk about it later if they were short of manpower.
As for pig manure, it is best to use it for farming. Jiang Tian did not expect that Jiang Hu would actually look for 20 people at the beginning. The guards and accountants were the hardest to find: "Brother, you can look for the others, but you have to find the guards and accountants."
Jiang Tian was also in a dilemma for a while. During lunch, Jiang Tian couldn't help asking Jiang Hu: "Second brother, there are not many people in the village who can do the accounting, and even fewer who can read. It's really hard to find someone who can do the accounting in a short time. What do you think of Ye Moer?"
Before Jiang Hu could answer, Qingyue asked, "Is it the Miss Ye who is engaged to Mr. Jiang Hu?"
Engagement? Jiang Hu was stunned and looked at Qingyue: "Aunt Yue, I have never been engaged, let alone engaged. Don't listen to the nonsense outsiders say."
Qingyue said, "It turned out to be nonsense. I thought it was true! When there is a good job, the first people who come to mind are definitely our own people. So I thought what was said outside these days was true, and I wanted to say congratulations to Master Jiang Hu!"
This title has never been used before. Is she angry? Jiang Hu would not treat Aunt Qingyue as a maid, and said helplessly: "Aunt Qingyue misunderstood, it's nothing."
Jiang Tian also knew Beibei's identity. Although Beibei didn't say a word now, Qingyue's words were enough to scare him.
This is a real nobleman. If he offends him, will his brother be implicated? Thinking of this, Jiang Tian was a little afraid to speak.
Beibei was eating her own food when she suddenly spoke up: "By the way, my bacon is already smoked. Isn't Jiang Yi going to buy a pig? Take these things down the mountain and arrange for someone to deliver them to my parents."
Jiang Yi immediately stood up and nodded, and went to make arrangements. Jiang Hu also frowned, "Can't we find someone to settle the accounts in the whole village? Then, big brother, why don't you find someone to do it, let's call Gou Wa, I think Gou Wa is a very grateful person."
Isn't this a great bargain for Gou Wa? Jiang Tian wanted to say something, but Jiang Dasao spoke up: "Gou Wa is a good person, young and smart, and hardworking. I believe he will not cheat us if we bring him here. You, the head of the family, should listen to your second brother."
In Jiang Dasao's opinion, the pig farm was originally built with money from the second brother. The second brother must have the final say. Even if you want to make the decision, you have to wait until the second brother and the others leave.
Since everyone in the family agreed, even his wife said so, Jiang Tian didn't say anything. He started to discuss that the people who feed the pigs and the people who clean the house should naturally give priority to men.
After all, everyone agrees that men have to be hired to do the work. Beibei smiled and said, "As for the pig grass, you can actually buy five catties for one penny. There will definitely be people who will come to sell it. You don't have to hire people to pick pig grass. And you just need to collect it. If there is too much, dry it and store it. It will be just right for use in winter."
Things like collecting grass for pigs are usually done by the children in the family. But if they can make money, the adults in the family will definitely be willing to go.
This is a good idea. As for now, just go buy hay outside. There is no problem for Jiang Yi to deal with these things.
After lunch, Jiang Yi took Beibei's smoked bacon and left, a total of more than 200 kilograms. The remaining 200 kilograms stayed behind, and Beibei looked at Jiang Dasao.
"Mrs. Jiang, let's fry some bacon tonight and try this flavor. How about it? If you think it's okay, we can make a batch before the New Year and let Jiang Yi take it out to sell!"
When she heard that they could be cooked and sold, Jiang Dasao's eyes lit up. After all, there were more than 40 pigs and only five were killed. In addition to the small ones, there were more than 20 big pigs that could be killed!
"Okay, then I'll do it tonight?"
Beibei smiled and said, "No need, I'll make it tonight and let you guys have a taste of my cooking skills."
Jiang Tian was a little flustered when he heard this. They couldn't afford it because the princess was cooking for them. They were a little anxious for a moment, but Jiang Hu had already expressed his opinion.
"Thank you for your hard work, Beibei. Big brother and big sister-in-law, Beibei's cooking skills are unique. Those who can enjoy it are the blessed ones!"
Beibei smiled and rolled his eyes at Jiang Hu: "What you said is not true. I am not that lucky. It's just a dinner, it's okay."
After lunch, Jiang Tian discussed with Jiang Hu who to invite, and then Jiang Tian went to invite them.
As for Jiang Dasao, when she heard Jiang Hu say that Beibei was a good cook, she stayed with Beibei, intending to learn a few things from him.
Beibei found Jiang Dasao's plan a little funny, but well, it wasn't a big deal anyway, so she might as well teach her a little.
She took out the bacon and cleaned it with Qingyue. She knew that Jiang Dasao had been watching, but she didn't stop her, so Qingyue didn't say anything more.
When the bacon was put into the pot, the aroma instantly filled the air and spread far away. The whole village was shocked. Whose meat smell was so delicious
The aroma actually made the old man come out: "My dear, what delicious food are you cooking tonight? Why does it smell so good?"
The old man hasn't come out for several days. Because the weather is cold, Jianghu has to go in to accompany him. He actually came out today, which is enough to show how strong the taste of this bacon is.
But the old man couldn't bite the bacon, so Beibei looked at the old man and made the bacon porridge again, and asked the old man to come to the table to eat together.
Mrs. Jiang smiled and replied, "It's the bacon made by Beibei. That's the business we're going to do in the future. It's really delicious. Grandpa will definitely like it, too."
The old man nodded: "I like it. There are good things, from the old family. Go and call Dr. Lu and Mo'er to come and eat together."
