The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 473: The Make-up Ceremony

Jiang Bing and the others had to observe mourning for three months, so Shi Liu let Sui Lu and Yu Suo take care of the accounts for the time being. Both of them were literate and could do math, which was just right.

Besides, with Wei Feng in charge of the general accounts, there won't be any mistakes.

As for matters related to the workshop, they are all managed by small managers, each one more attentive than the other. The workshop has been running for several years and there has never been any mistakes.

Not to mention that they are mainly relatives and villagers, with such a stable job, stable wages, and generous annual gifts, no one would not work hard, and dare to cause trouble? The lesson of the Huang family is still remembered.

As for the Huang family's house, it has been renovated after being sold to Wei Feng, and he is just waiting to get married next year.

So, there really isn't much for Pomegranate to worry about.

She also handed the purchasing task over to her uncle Li Jizhong and her cousin Li Ronghuai. They were all kind-hearted people and always kept their money to themselves. They only saved money for Shi Liu and never took less.

If this task was given to my fourth uncle Li Jigui, it would not be certain.

Therefore, if you know how to use people and put them in the right positions, every boss will have less worries.

Shi Liu still inspected them one by one and then looked at the accounts sent by Wei Feng.

At the Sheep Workshop, goods were shipped out three times during the month she was away, and the accounts were all clear.

I have made a lot of money this year.

The workers are efficient and conscientious in their work, which is why we can achieve such a high shipment volume.

Thinking that the beginning of winter was coming soon and dumplings would be eaten on that day, Shi Liu asked her cousin Li Jizhong to buy more goats, kill them and distribute the meat to the workers in the workshop, and then take them home to make dumplings.

Because pork is indispensable in the food workshop all year round, the only butcher in the village, Sun Da and his son, have become the exclusive butchers of the Li family.

Shi Liu hired them as workers, paid them a certain amount of money every month, and asked them to only slaughter pigs for the workshop.

A shed was built on the bank of Qing River as a place for slaughtering pigs, and pigs were slaughtered almost every day.

After a year, he made more money than if he had gone to other places to slaughter pigs and sell meat. After all, he slaughtered a lot of pigs.

After the sheep was bought, it was immediately sent to Sun Da. His wife quickly helped to boil water. Shi Liu also called a lot of people to help. After hearing the clanging sound, all the mutton was divided out on the same day.

When it's time to get off work, the workers from the food workshop and the sheep workshop would line up here first, and each person could get a piece of mutton.

It's not much, just about one kilogram, but most of them are two or even three people working in the workshop. Add up to two or three kilograms of meat, and add some chopped radish and green onion when they go back. It's enough to make enough food for the whole family.

Nowadays, no family can lack this little bit of white flour, so no one would be reluctant to give it away.

The mutton was distributed to the workers, and there were quite a lot of leftover lamb chops, lamb bones, lamb trotters, and lamb offal.

Shi Liu asked for the mutton offal and bones to be sent to the workshop canteen, and instructed the cook to make mutton offal soup for the workers tomorrow.

As for the lamb chops, some were sent to the families of Li Yishan and other clan leaders. As for the rest, the kitchen was asked to make radish lamb chops soup and braised lamb trotters that night.

The fragrance of the radish and the lamb chops mixed together, and after drinking a mouthful of the soup, I felt so relaxed all over.

The lamb's trotters were roasted until they were fragrant and soft, and even Old Man Li and Old Mrs. Yuan ate several more.

It was a very enjoyable dinner.

……

Shi Liu's birthday is September 15th, which was about half a month ago. She was not at home at the time, and many people in the clan asked about it.

The Song family decided to make up for it, and this morning, Old Man Song, Aunt Song and others arrived, as well as Ding Fuguang and Wang.

The He Tian family and the He Li family also arrived, and the clan leader Li Yishan and his family were also present. The incense table was set up in the main hall, and tables and chairs were placed on both sides of the hall, where the relatives who came to watch the ceremony sat.

Everyone was present and the auspicious time had arrived. Shi Liu, accompanied by her two cousins ​​from her uncle's family, slowly walked into the main hall.

Different from the wealthy families in the city where the main guest is a respected elder, in the country families, most of the guests are their own mothers.

Song was willing to take on the responsibility and didn't want to give it to anyone else. Although Wang, her stepmother, was also interested, Song wanted to be selfish and wanted to personally give her daughter a coming-of-age ceremony.

Her face was full of excitement, but she forced herself to calm down. After washing her hands, she walked to Pomegranate and looked at her with slightly red eyes. She first soaked a piece of cloth in the copper basin and gently wiped Pomegranate's scattered hair.

Then she picked up a wooden comb and started combing Pomegranate's hair from the roots, slowly and carefully. Every time she combed her hair, she whispered blessings.

Pomegranate felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he listened to the whispered blessings.

She thought it was just a ceremony, but when she was in the ceremony, she couldn't control herself. Her eyes turned red and she wanted to cry.

So rituals are something that really bring tears to people's eyes.

In her mind, she quickly recalled the past ten years or so since she came to this world, from being born in Song's belly, listening to the little noises outside, to the little things she learned to walk and talk after she was born...

Looking at her daughter who was sitting cross-legged in front of her, Song couldn't help but think of the past. In a blink of an eye, the little girl had grown up.

The little girl who didn't talk much when she was young, but was very energetic and did everything very well, was the same when she grew up, doing everything very well and no one had to worry about her at all.

Thinking about it, Song's eyes became redder. When her daughter reached the age of 15, it meant that she could get married, but she really couldn't bear to let her go.

After combing her hair neatly, Song carefully took out the hairpin she had prepared carefully, tied her hair into a simple hairpin at the back of her head, and then fixed it firmly with the hairpin.

"All right."

Afterwards, Shi Liu knelt on both knees in front of the incense table, performed a kowtow ceremony, and drank sweet wine to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

Patriarch Li and others who were watching the ceremony watched all these scenes from beginning to end, and they were filled with emotion.

Who would have thought that this little girl, who had grown up so quickly, could be so capable.

The ever-changing changes in Xiahe Village today, including the obvious changes in the surrounding villages, are all caused by her.

Without pomegranates, there would be no such scene.

When Pomegranate appeared again, she had put on a brand new dress. The color of the dress was solemn and elegant, making Pomegranate look graceful, calm and elegant.

Song picked up the exquisite hairpin and put it on Shi Liu's head.

It is said that it is still according to the customs of the country families, but few country families are willing to give their daughters a coming-of-age ceremony like this. Even if they do, the mother will just comb the daughter's hair and insert a bamboo hairpin.

The Li family is not short of money now, so the Song family has naturally made careful preparations for everything.

After the hairpin and crown were added, the ceremony came to an end. Shi Liu first knelt down to pay homage to her parents to thank them for raising her, and then knelt down to pay homage to all the spectators present, expressing her gratitude for witnessing her adulthood.

Patriarch Li and others were also very excited. They kept saying words of blessing and then presented carefully prepared gifts.

There were so many gifts that Shi Liu couldn't handle them all with just her hands. Fortunately, she had two cousins ​​who were there to help her.

After the ceremony, everyone went to the large flower hall in front to eat. The table was also carefully prepared.

After the meal, everyone left one after another.

Shi Liu changed her clothes and leaned on Song's shoulder, unwilling to get up for a long time.
