After traveling to ancient times, I became a superb shrew

Chapter 75 Building a Workshop (Reward plus updates)
When I got up the next morning, Gu Qing was still lying on the bed, and Gu Yu's voice sounded in the yard: "Sister, there are a lot of pheasants in front of the house, seven or eight pheasants should be sent by those wolves again..."

Gu Qing jumped up from the bed and walked to the gate of the courtyard. Seven or eight pheasants had their throats bitten and were covered in blood.

She pressed her temples with some headaches. How did she feel that these seven or eight pheasants were supper prepared by wild wolves for them?
She had a hunch that the four wild wolves would come again tonight.

What else can I do, let's stew the chicken soup first, four wild wolves, one wolf and one chicken, send one to the old house for the pregnant second aunt, and leave three hanging under the eaves.

Before dawn at Maoshi, Zhu Han, Moli and Yang Pei went to the town in a carriage under the moonlight. Now only Gu Qing and Dong Rong are at home.Gu Yu and Gu Nuo went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to feed the chickens and ducks, leaving the housework to Gu Qing and Dong Rong.

Autumn is getting stronger and stronger, and the autumn seeds in Gujia Village are slowly coming to an end.

After the autumn planting is over, the busiest time of the year is over. The next month or so is to prepare for the winter. In addition to repairing farm tools, we also need to repair the roof, cut more firewood, weave baskets, and store dried vegetables. Mending winter clothes... In order to make more money, some men will take advantage of this time to go to the town to find some coolie jobs, and they can earn a little bit.

Gu Qing bought a lot of cloth a few days ago, and now she is sitting at home busy making winter clothes.

After the needle pierced all five fingers, Gu Qing felt that this female celebrity was really not suitable for her, so she went to Li Zheng's house and looked for Li Zheng, what was the attitude of the village about planting flowers.

Lizheng's house was very lively, the children were playing in the yard, each with a piece of snack in his hand, and several daughters were cutting fabrics and mending autumn clothes in the yard.

After the autumn harvest, the grain was sold, and every household became richer, and everyone's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

Lizheng's wife raised his head, and said with a smile: "Miss Gu, you came just in time. The house distributes desserts. It's the peach cake from Baiweizhai. Come and try it."

How could Gu Qing grab snacks from the children, she declined with a smile, and said, "Aunt Lizheng, I came here to ask about the last time, how did the discussion in the village go?"

Li Zheng put down the dry tobacco in his hand, and said with some embarrassment: "The people in the village are not rich, but they don't want to let you take risks. The big guys discussed it. If you need manpower to open a workshop, Mrs. Gu, everyone is happy. Go help, wait for everyone to have more money, and then follow Mrs. Gu!"

What Li Zheng said was very tactful. Gu Qing was silent for a while, and finally understood the thoughts of the villagers. They are all farmers, and they have never been out of this village all their lives. It is indeed difficult for someone to change their investment and make money.

"All right, Aunt Lizheng, I want to buy the mountain next to my new house from the village. You can come up with a price with the elders in the clan, and I'll ask Dong Rong to come over and go through the formalities later."

"Hey!" Lizheng sighed, in her heart she hoped that everyone would follow Gu Qing to make a fortune together, but when the villagers heard that they needed to spend money, all of them kept silent, and there was nothing she could do.

Now I can only hope that Mrs. Gu can build a workshop and let the villagers do some work to earn a little money, so that they can live a little bit of life.

The mountains in the village are not expensive, and now everyone who has money buys fertile land first.

Almost no one wants such a barren hill.

After finalizing the matter of the mountain, the matter of the workshop should also be put on the agenda.

Flower seedlings, bees, and sheep can be bought from the mall. Nowadays, it is easy to hire people to grow flowers and raise sheep, but Gu Qing is worried about beekeeping.

She really doesn't know who knows how to keep bees here.

Gu Qing called Gu Yu, who was feeding the chickens, over: "Go to the village and ask if anyone has surplus adobe, and buy them all."

Gu Yu asked, "Sister, what are we buying the adobe for?"

Gu Qing said: "Is the soap I gave you a few days ago useful?"

"It's very useful!" Gu Yu nodded vigorously, "Hand washing, bathing and hair washing are very clean, elder sister, what are you..."

She seems to have guessed what elder sister is going to do.

Gu Qing took out a sand table and drew on it with sticks.

"This is our house. The right side is next to the mountain top. I have already bought it. The left side is the land bought by your elder brother Yang. It looks like three or four acres in total. I plan to grow some vegetables that are often eaten at home. I plan to grow vegetables in this area. In the middle of the field, build a soap making workshop."

She laughed, "Because it takes a whole day to burn firewood to make this thing, so, build a greenhouse outside, and the greenhouse is used to grow vegetables that are only available in spring and summer..."

With this greenhouse, you can eat other fresh vegetables in winter.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is to build the soap workshop as soon as possible. This is the most critical thing at present.

"There are about four soap workshops. This one is used to boil lard, this one is used to filter plant ash, this one is used for blending and mixing, and this one is used for solidification... Four rooms are still too few."

Gu Qing rested her chin and thought, "In the future, various fragrance types will be added, and it is best to engrave letters on the soap with a unique mark...Then build eight rooms, Rong'er, calculate how much adobe you need, and then share with Yu'er Buy from house to house."

People in the village have the habit of accumulating adobe. If they don't build a house at this time, it is impossible to break the earth this year, which can be used for their family.

"After buying the adobe, ask any men in the village who are free and ask them to come and help build the house for thirty Wen a day." Gu Qing said with a smile, "If you ask thirty people to come, it's best to finish the project within five or six days. "

Gu Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up and went out to do errands.

Gu Qing took out a piece of rough paper, took a brush and drew on the paper, this time the drawing was a mold drawing, which was the most common shape of soap in a square shape in later generations, with a slight concave in the middle to make it easier for human hands It is not slippery to hold.

After drawing the model drawings, she began to think about the logo.

Any product in modern times will have the unique brand imprint of the manufacturer. Since she wants to open a workshop and do big business, she must establish brand awareness.

She wrote four words on the paper: "Youshui Gu."

She was very satisfied with the brand name, and shouted, "Rong'er, come here."

Dong Rong was counting the adobe bricks for the workshop, when he heard the owner calling him, he immediately walked over.

Seeing the four words on the rough paper, he silently looked away.

The owner of the house is good at everything, but the calligraphy is not good-looking, it is not as good as Gu Nuo... But the owner of the house can write so many characters after only a few days of school, which is already much better than the people in the village.

Gu Qing is also very helpless, she is used to writing with a hard pen, the brush is soft, and it is traditional Chinese characters, it is not easy for her to write.
