After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 115
Shopkeeper Wang was a little flustered. He only has three sons. Does this mean that he is not even qualified to farm?

He asked: "I bought these lands, what else can I do besides farming them?"

Li Zheng could see that this man didn't know how to farm at all, and he might not be able to tell the difference between seedlings and weeds.

Li Zheng didn't want to turn away a big client who could buy two hundred acres of land, and he also seriously helped him think about it.

After about a cup of tea, Li Zheng slapped his thigh and said, "Ms. Gu's soap workshop is getting bigger and bigger, and she needs more and more things every day, such as honey, which is extremely expensive. It’s very inconvenient to buy, if Shopkeeper Wang knows how to keep bees and sell honey exclusively, he won’t have to worry about losing sales in the future.”

Shopkeeper Wang showed an awkward yet polite smile: "I don't know how to keep bees."

"Everyone has never raised this thing before, so it's normal if you don't know how to raise it." Li Zheng smiled and said, "There is always a pig raising association, Mrs. Gu's soap workshop needs lard every day, and you sell all the pigs when they grow up. Miss Gu, I will definitely not lose money. Tsk tsk, I want to raise pigs, but it's a pity that my family doesn't have such a big place..."

Shopkeeper Wang really wanted to say that he doesn't know how to raise pigs either.

But under Li Zheng's confident eyes, he silently retracted those words.

No matter whether he can raise it or not, let’s try it first and then talk. If it doesn’t work, then he will raise chickens and ducks. I heard that raising chickens and ducks is the easiest.

Shopkeeper Wang nodded: "Okay, then I will buy two hundred acres of land first, and then I will build a house. I hope Aunt Lizheng can come forward and find some people to help."

"It's easy to say!"

Li Zheng happily agreed.

The soap workshop in Mrs. Gu's house has just been completed, and a large group of men are worried that they can't find work. No, the work at the door of the house is delivered to the door.

He found someone to measure the land that day, wrote the title deed, and went to the county government office with shopkeeper Wang to get his fingerprints, and the matter was settled extremely quickly.

The villagers were talking about it.

"I heard that rich people from the city have come to our Gu Family Village to buy a Zhuangzi."

"I bought two hundred acres of land in one go, and I want to build a house on this land. I heard that it is a brick house like Mrs. Gu's house."

"Oh, our Gu family village is smoked from the ancestral graves, and there will be rich people coming here to settle down here. I'm afraid it will be terrible in the future."

"The soap workshops are all in the village, so they will definitely attract many people. Lizheng was worried that the wasteland could not be sold. Let me tell you, if you wait a while, the wasteland may not be enough to sell."

"I also plan to buy a few acres of land after the Chinese New Year. Will I be unable to buy it? No, I have to go to Aunt Lizheng to secure three acres of land, so that it can't be taken away."

"Then I'll set up a five-acre land too, and I'll write the land deed later when I have money."

"..."

Inexplicably, there was a wind of buying land in Gujia Village.

The villagers buy land, one mu of wasteland and half taels of silver. If you work in Gu Qing's workshop for a month, you can buy an mu of land. Hand it over to Lizheng, and when the wages are paid, Gu Qing will pay Lizheng the money for buying the land directly, which can be regarded as a kind of advanced consumption.

For several days in a row, Lizheng was very busy here.

The shopkeeper Wang also sent the blueprints for building the house, and a large number of blue bricks were transported to the village, and the second blue brick house in Gujia Village officially started construction.

Shopkeeper Wang's house is not far from Gu Qing's house. Standing on the stone roller in front of the house, you can see the bustling bustle over there.

The people in the village also watched the excitement for a while, and then went about their business.

At this time, Mrs. Gu stepped into the yard: "Qing'er, today is the last day of the seven-day trial period you mentioned last time. Do you want me to call Hua'er and Erniu over to ask about the situation?"

Gu Qing said: "Auntie has been patrolling the workshop for the past few days, so she should have a basic understanding of the two of them. Why don't you talk about it first?"

"Both children are good at working and sensible. If I can only keep one, I really can't choose." Mrs. Gu said truthfully, "My family is not good at evaluation, so I will call some ladies to ask Let's see."

Chen Erniu was in charge of filtering plant ash, and Lin Hua'er later switched to the process of casting molds. Mrs. Gu called the people in charge of both links over.

The two persons in charge are old employees, and they have worked in the workshop for more than half a month. If they perform well in the next half month, they will be promoted to team leader. He works overtime for more than half an hour every day, and only leaves after dark. He has become the king of introversion known to everyone in the workshop.

"Sister Xiumei, Sister Chunhua, you two sit down." Gu Qing said with a smile, "I asked you to come here to ask how the girls Hua'er and Erniu are doing in the workshop, just tell the truth .”

"Er Niu has nothing to say, she speaks little and is diligent. Every morning after coming here, she has been working hard. After finishing the work at hand, she will clean up the house and filter the ashes. The house was originally dirty. Once she cleaned it up, it was clean and bright." Gu Xiumei praised her, "If you want me to tell you, Er Niu can stay here."

Gu Chunhua hesitated for a moment and said: "Hua'er is not lazy, she just likes to wander around, I said a few words to her, she said that she is the direct cousin of the owner of the workshop, I..."

"This girl, you're crazy!" Old Madam Gu's face suddenly darkened, "You actually used your relative status to cause trouble in the workshop, let's see how I deal with her!"

Gu Qing said coldly: "The wages for seven days are 140 Wen. Let her come to me to pay the wages, and then let Taozi send her back. As for the second girl, please stay, and please bring more sister Xiumei."

Gu Xiumei and Gu Chunhua nodded and stepped back.

The old lady Gu was full of annoyance: "I shouldn't have let these two children come here before, the second girl is okay, what the hell is Hua'er thinking..."

Gu Qing said indifferently: "The people recruited are not suitable, just open it, it's not a big deal."

When she was working hard in her previous life, she had hundreds of employees under her command. Among the hundreds of people, not everyone had noble morals. She didn't have such high requirements for her employees. Moths are fine, and she welcomes people who are serious about their work.

But Lin Huaer...

She's just a cousin, so it's really hard to talk about it.

Not long after, Lin Hua'er came over. She adjusted the corners of her clothes before walking in, looking a little uneasy.

Gu Qing put 140 copper coins on the table, and said in a cold tone, "From now on, you don't have to work in the workshop. I will ask your cousin Tao Zi to send you back."

Lin Hua'er froze suddenly: "Big, big cousin, what do you mean?"

Mrs. Gu picked up the copper plate, dragged Lin Hua'er and walked out: "What do you mean, let me tell you."

The old lady dragged Lin Hua'er out. I don't know what she said, but Lin Hua'er was sent away.

Many people in the workshop saw Lin Hua'er sitting in the bullock cart with teary eyes, accompanied by Gu Tao, leading Lin Hua'er away.

The people working in the workshop dare not slack off one by one.

This Lin Hua'er is the granddaughter of the Gu family's direct relatives. Mrs. Gu drove away as soon as she said she wanted to. If people like them who are not related by blood make mistakes, it is even more impossible for them to have a second chance.
