"Brother Xiu and Brother Mo cleaned up the house, and steamed the rice in the pot. They just left not long ago." Mr. He explained to the two with a smile.
No need for Mr. He to say that the two of them knew that the house in the yard was tidy, but it was not enough to rely on their help all the time. Thinking of Li Feng's proposal to buy someone before, Tang Chunming said: "Ah Feng, it's not as good as at home. Hire one or two people to help with the work, sometimes you can't take care of the house when you are busy, even if you clean the inside and outside and cook for the two children."
Mr. He stroked his beard and smiled, "I thought how long you'd have to wait to see this."
Tang Chunming rolled his eyes angrily, and Mr. He just waited to see his own good show without reminding him. It's no wonder that he can't turn his mind all of a sudden. The main reason is that now that the house is getting bigger, it takes a lot of time to clean the front and back yards, including the empty yard. He and Li Feng couldn't finish the vegetable field in the village.
"Okay," Li Feng responded with a good temper, hugging Asen, "I'll go and make some inquiries." Li Feng also felt sorry for Brother Ming and wanted to hire someone for a long time, but Brother Ming said that he was not used to having outsiders at home, so he also I had to do everything first, so that Brother Ming could relax.
Finding someone is not a very troublesome task. Apart from Dashan, there are a few men who have been working in the back mountain. Li Feng also saw their temperament and hired them as long-term jobs. When selecting people back then, they not only looked at the dispositions of these men, but also their families. The matter was not publicized at all, so Li Feng asked these families whose husbands or mothers were free to help the family with something.
The last one selected was Momo, who was about forty years old. Everyone in the village called him Momo Chen, and he was also a widow. The man in the family died outside in military service in his early years. He didn't remarry, and now his son is also working in the back mountain, and the family population is simple. Whether it is Li Feng or Tang Chunming, he feels relieved to use such a person, so after seeing the person, he made a decision. This Chen Momo doesn't talk much , has a very gentle smile, but is diligent in his hands and feet. He can help take care of the child after the family is busy. In his words, he has long hoped that his son will marry a husband and come back to have a grandson. He can take care of the grandson at home. So I like seeing children.
Before helping Li Feng's family, this family was unable to marry their elder brother because of poverty. It was not easy for Chen Momo to pull the eldest son. When the son grows up, there will be no spare money to marry him, and he doesn't want to make do with it. I wanted to marry my son back to someone he didn't like, so I kept procrastinating. But the days to come will get better and better. Now that his son is working with Li Feng, a matchmaker has already come to his door to propose marriage to his son.
With Chen Memo's help at home, Mr. He has a lot of leisure time. When he is free, he will go to Hu Langzhong to go to the mountains with his hands behind his back. The two watched Tang Chunming's grafting techniques together, and would even use their hands when they were interested. Tang Chunming was much more relaxed, and felt that he could be lazy again, and spent more time with his two sons. This little money was well spent.
Even Zhang Xiu and the others said it should have been so long ago. Although they didn't know how much money Li Feng brought back from outside, they could earn a lot of money in a month for the Tang Ji Quanyang Restaurant in the county. Now that the coldest weather has passed, the business of the Quanyang House is still not cold. It is known to the whole village to pull sheep from the county on a regular basis, but it is not enviable for others to envy it.
At this time, the news about the brewing workshop finally spread throughout the village, and Pingshan Village was once again jubilant. Can it really be brewed? Can it be sold after brewing? Did Li Feng's family really have a relationship with the Royal Rong's family? It's not a bluff, is it? For ordinary people, even when they see the yamen servants in the yamen, they dare not speak loudly, not to mention that this imperial merchant is different from ordinary merchants. It has something to do with the emperor, and I am afraid it is the county magistrate. This imperial merchant must be polite.
Anything with the word "Emperor" on it will naturally increase its net worth a hundred times, and its style is also extraordinary.
Moreover, in the Daqing Dynasty, although agriculture was emphasized and merchants were suppressed, the status of merchants was not too low. There were no regulations prohibiting merchants from wearing silk and no scientific research within three generations. Those wealthy merchants were big households for ordinary people. Let alone an imperial merchant, some people said that even the floor of this imperial merchant's house was paved with gold bricks, and even the servants were dressed in silk and satin. Some rumors even made Tang Chunming laugh.
The family who just bought vegetable seedlings from Li Feng's family began to ponder again, should they listen to Lizheng's propaganda and plant sorghum? In fact, most households will plant some sorghum. They use the wasteland or low-grade land at home. This kind of land is too poor for rice and refined grains. The good land is reserved for the rice that can be sold for money. Wheat, only this kind of bad land will grow some coarse grains as their own rations.
"Let's plant it, anyway, sorghum is going to be planted in the field. Didn't the sorghum field of Brother Ming's family have a bumper harvest last year, besides, a contract will be signed at that time, and the brewery will collect it for wine making, so it will definitely not lose money. "
"That's right, look at the couple Feng and Brother Ming, and the families who follow them, what they did to lose money."
"But what's the deal with taking a share in this winery? Do you want to take a share? I heard that after taking a share, you can get a share of the money when the wine is sold."
How do the people in the village get a share? Everyone finally discussed two ways. One is that people with money directly invest in it, and the other is that people who grow sorghum directly use sorghum as the input cost of the winery after the sorghum is harvested. Sorghum cannot be exchanged for silver, but for members of the distillery. This must be agreed between the two parties when signing the contract, and it is only counted this time. Internal members purchase, and are not allowed to transfer to irrelevant people outside the village.
Some daring people followed Li Feng and his family directly. They not only invested money, but also signed a deed for the sorghum they planted and directly counted it as the investment cost. Anyway, they also planted vegetables at home, and the family will have income after the vegetables are sold. There will be no days when you can't go on if you don't take it. The first batch of people who invested the most were all happy from ear to ear when the winery was officially put into operation and paid off. Sure enough, they did the right thing by giving it a go. Those timid and conservative people are now envious of them. Who made them Back then I was timid.
Zhang Xiu, Wang Mo's family and Sixth Uncle also knew about the wine shop a long time ago, and they were the first to respond when Lizheng announced it. When they saw those who were still hesitating, Zhang Xiu was behind them. Cursing inwardly is really stupid, it is Ming Geer who gave the money to the villagers, but he still has to think about it, he and Da Shan plan not only to invest money in sorghum, but also to work in the winery when it opens Live.
Of course, the Qian family was also thinking about this matter. Qian Defu's parents thought about it and took out their pressed box pension money and sent it to Lizheng. With Defu's temper, they don't expect this son to provide for them in the future. They might as well earn some money and hold it in their own hands. Parents are clearer and calmer than their sons.
But it was his son after all, so the old couple still called Qian Defu over to ask him what he had decided. In their hearts, they still wanted to pull their son, but they didn't expect that it would be too much to talk nonsense. In the end, the old couple was so angry He scolded his son away.
"Anyway, he is like this now, so don't worry about him in the future. Fortunately, there is another son who is filial and obedient." Father Qian persuaded, with disappointment flashing in his eyes.
"Listen to what they are talking about, what is the name of the emperor? Is it a lie? Maybe Li Feng's family teamed up with outsiders to defraud the villagers of their money. Old man, tell us How did you give birth to such an unlucky thing, and marry a prodigal brother back?" Qian Momo beat the kang bitterly, it turned out that the grandson was still tossing around, but Mr. He said that if he didn't take good care of him, he would Don't even think about having a baby, this brother became so frightened that he became honest, he closed the door and lay down on the kang without doing anything, and even the boy he brought didn't bother too much.
Of course, having fewer troubles will save the old couple a lot of worry, and save them from being embarrassing in front of the villagers. Although the family is separated, they will also be implicated if something happens. But after all, it was a lot of tossing before, and the pregnancy-preserving and nourishing medicine prescribed by the doctor was poured down bowl by bowl. It was all in exchange for real money, and Hu Langzhong was called over every now and then, and the toss was endless. The joy of Chinese New Year here has faded a lot.
After Qian Defu went back, he saw Qin Goudan standing in the yard with gloomy eyes. After returning from that mountain, he never showed a good face to this kid. He was really scared that time, and he almost fell into it. The hungry wolf almost couldn't come back, all this was not caused by this stinky boy, if he didn't think about the child in Sun Ge'er's stomach, he would have thrown this boy back to Qinjialing. .
"Master, you're back, what's the matter with your father-in-law calling you?" Brother Sun asked softly while leaning on the kang when he heard the movement.
"It's nothing, you just take good care of it, you don't need to worry about the outside things, I will go out in two days, and I will let my mother come and take care of you for two days." Qian Defu didn't tell Brother Sun about the village affairs at all. And because of the trouble at the end of last year, the people who were willing to walk with him did not dare to hang out with him anymore. They were afraid that if a bad boy lost his grandson, they would be blamed on them. When going to ask for someone with Brother Ming, no one comes and goes, so he doesn't know the situation in the village if he doesn't go out for a walk.
Brother Sun turned pale when he heard that Qian Defu was going out, and said helplessly, "Boss, why are you going out at this time? You know, Mama doesn't like me at all, I..."
"If I don't go out to earn money, where can I get money to buy medicine for you?" Qian Defu's grandson, who had seen this appearance before, couldn't bear to go up to all kinds of care and care, but now he just wrinkled impatiently. Frowning, he turned and walked out again.
Not long after, Qin Goudan entered the room. Seeing his mother looking disappointedly at the direction Qian Defu left, he sneered a couple of times, feeling weird, but turned around and left without saying a word, and left Qin Defu. At home, no one knows where he went and what he was doing outside.
Sun Geer called Goudan's name in the room but couldn't call back his son, frowned, but comforted himself: "It doesn't matter, Goudan has always been inseparable from me, when the baby in my stomach is born Keep the Goudan's heart together." Before the baby in his belly was born, he didn't dare to chase Goudan like before, he was really afraid that the baby in his belly would be rejected by the head of the family if he didn't have a child. No matter how low you are and coaxing Qian Defu, you can't win back a man's heart.
&&&
There was another dispute in the Zhao family because of the wine shop, but this time it didn't happen at the house of Mrs. Zhao, but the Zhao family on the third uncle's side, the attitude they should hold towards the wine shop and Li Feng and Tang Chunming. Disagreements and disputes occurred, and the dissatisfaction of the juniors of the Zhao family towards the third uncle had accumulated to the climax and finally broke out with this opportunity.
Some people want to join the wine shop, they have never tasted the wine brewed by Tang Chunming, this wine only showed up on the day of the wedding banquet, no one in the Zhao family attended the wedding except the sixth uncle, firstly because they knew Tang Chunming treated them well. If you don't like them, you don't welcome them, and the second is that if the third uncle and Zhao Laomo know about their past, they will have another fight. But if they haven’t tasted it, it doesn’t mean they won’t open their mouths to ask. Those who have drunk the wedding wine don’t give a thumbs up to praise the dishes and drinks that day. Certainly, the brewed wine will definitely not be inferior to the wine sold in those wineries in the town.
Not to mention that the partner of cooperation is still the imperial businessman. When Rong Yue came over, they also took a few glances from a distance. The guards and entourage who followed alone could scare people to death. The power that made them fear only deepened their love for Li Feng's family. believablity.
So these investigations made them very optimistic about the prospects of the winery in the village. As long as they invest in money, they will definitely get back their money and earn money. This is like falling from the sky for farmers who rely on the land for a living all the year round. It's a good opportunity, if they really miss this opportunity for nothing, they will have the intention of killing people.
But the third uncle didn't let go of this matter at all, saying that it was the Li family's business, and the Zhao family didn't get involved. The Zhao family is a family of farming and studying, so it can't be called the ancestor's name. Anyone who dares to get involved will interrupt him The legs are driven out of the Zhao family, so that the juniors can farm the land honestly, and the time when Zhao Jiafei, a scholar, can be made to be a scholar is just around the corner.
"Reading and reading! Just confess to Zhao Laosan, who is such a worthless thing!" There are many complaints from the Zhao family. Last time, Zhao Daniu was asked to take away the money they had saved so hard. Will they continue? Dream it! If one of Zhao Laosan can't read the beginning, do they have to continue to provide the other one? At the end of the confession, some white-eyed wolves were confessed.
"Look at the current life of the Sixth Uncle's family. In the past, it was not as good as our family, but now, who among us can compare with the Sixth Uncle's family?"
"Yeah, it's better to learn from the sixth uncle. It's not the third uncle who decides whether to recognize the ancestors of the Zhao family. Back then, it was only the offshoot of the Zhao family that we escaped."
"That's right, if we keep doing this, our boys won't even be able to hand over Shu Xiu from the village. Even if our boys are not talented enough to read, literacy is not the same as being illiterate."
"That's right, it will definitely take a lot of labor when the wine shop is opened. Are we just going to watch other people make money?"
The grievances accumulated more and more, and finally broke out when they heard that the third uncle opposed them again. Several families didn't give the third uncle face at all, and left on the spot, claiming that the patriarch of the Zhao family should choose someone else. Well, the third uncle got older and became a dead-headed person.
This time, the third uncle was finally so angry that he vomited blood. It was not the family of Zhao Laomo who was waiting for him on the kang and called him Langzhong. It's his own son and grandson who have been neglected by him all the time, but they didn't give their father and grandpa a good face after serving them. They are joking about the future of these juniors.
"Father, he has indeed been a little confused these years. The older he gets, the more he gets the glory of his ancestors, but he doesn't even think about it. Even those glory are not from our side branches, but from the direct line of the Zhao family at that time. How much can the side branches enjoy? It’s not the same as living by farming, and we were born to eat in the fields in Pingshan Village, so we dare not dream of such a day.” The speaker was the third uncle’s youngest son, who was asked to go to the county The youngest son gave money to Zhao Laosan, but the youngest son refused to go. After Zhao Daniu stole the silver, the third uncle blamed the youngest son. If he had been willing to run away, why would he have lost the silver? .
In fact, this youngest son has been with his father the longest time, and he also understands his father's thoughts best, so he feels that he is whimsical. What kind of character is Zhao Laosan? Even his own elder brother may not have much affection, will he really support them brothers and nephews of the same clan in the future? It's true that Dahu confessed to a white-eyed wolf. Zhao Laosan really didn't know anything about the fact that Mr. Zhao was going to sell Brother Ming and his little nephew? I'm afraid he just pretended that he didn't know how to condone their actions. Thinking about it like this makes people feel cold.
"Yeah, it was better before, and we wouldn't ask us to take out the money, but now there is only Zhao Laosan in my eyes, and I don't even care about my grandson. How much wealth can we people have? Don't count on it." Father, he left something for his grandson, but we have to think about our own children."
"But that's our father, what should we do? Besides, our father vomited blood at the moment, if we do anything else, it would be really unfilial." If we push it any further, it will kill people, they But he can't bear the name of forcing his father to death.
"Then what can we do? Why don't we hide it from Dad first? Let's discuss it with Lizheng in private? Brother Ming should also have an explanation."
"Ugh… "
The crimes committed by the old man require them, the juniors, to come to an end, so what's wrong with Brother Ming? Why do you want to follow a brother so that you don't show signs of it? Dad doesn't like a brother, so why do you want to do this
Just when a part of the Zhao family was going to branch off from Third Uncle and Third Uncle's own juniors were planning not to listen to him, Tang Chunming also heard that Third Uncle was so angry that he vomited blood. This was what Sixth Uncle told him .
Uncle Zhao Liu didn't let go of the bullock to carry the villagers to the small business in the town. He went there every day to and from Pingshan Village in the town. Except for the bad weather of rain and snow, when he came back from the town, he passed by Li Feng's house and stopped the bullock. Che told Li Feng about it, and they didn't avoid Tang Chunming when they talked, so Tang Chunming also knew about it, and he knew the ins and outs of this matter.
He intended to let Li Feng and Brother Ming be mentally prepared, those who wanted to branch off from the third uncle might find Brother Ming, and they might be troubled.
Tang Chunming felt that it was extremely absurd. It was a great anecdote in Pingshan Village that the matter would develop to such an extent.
How unpopular is the third uncle's actions, so that those Zhao clansmen either set up a new patriarch or have a branch with him? For such an old man who was so angry that he vomited blood, Tang Chunming's heart was so cold that he didn't feel any sympathy. It was the first time I met my third uncle since I came to this village. Although he was able to leave the Zhao family as he wished because of his good face, he couldn't see clearly that the third uncle didn't like him in his eyes. In his opinion, the Zhao family's affairs should be resolved within the Zhao family, but if he really wanted to sue him, would he really decide for himself and Ah Lin
It is tantamount to daydreaming! He can suppress the greed of Zhao Laomo and Wang Chunhua once, but he can't suppress the second and third times. In the end, the result between him and A Lin is not much better than the first time. Like Da Lian, maybe even worse than Da Lian's result, because Da Lian was married to Zhao's family, and Zhao's family like Sixth Uncle would seek justice for him, but what about him and A Lin? Just thinking about Tang Chunming makes my heart cold.
"Where are Aunt Zhao and Wang Chunhua?" Tang Chunming asked curiously.
"They?" Uncle Six sneered, "Are they a pair of mothers who always have money in their hands, and they will be willing to take out the money to run a wine shop for you?" Does Uncle Six know that pair of mothers very well? It is easy to guess what they are thinking in their minds. From their point of view, this winery probably belongs to Brother Ming, so how could they invest money in it? Learn more about the outside world. Now Sixth Uncle thinks it's good for Zhao Laosan to go to the county, so as not to disgust Brother Ming.
