Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 67

The summer nights are already short, but in a blink of an eye, the sun rises again.Two days later, the mason brought his apprentice and fellows into the village, and dug the foundation according to the blueprint discussed with the owner.

Just like that, before it was rumored in the village that Zhang Mantun's house was going to build a new house, the masonry team had already brought people to break the ground.Of course, as the carts of blue bricks and tiles, as well as the ox carts of timber entered the village one after another, and when they were unloaded on the open space in front of the mountain, the villagers naturally knew about it. This is a big deal.

However, Zhang Mandun and Lin Baozhu didn't bother to inquire about what was going on in the village.As a new batch of tea leaves came out, they finally stuck Zhang Ji's red label on the bags of tea paper, and engraved the word Zhang Ji on the bamboo tube along the way.

Because the tea is made during the day, the couple guards the oil lamp and carves marks on the bamboo tube at night. Now the two of them have not had a rest for several days.Rao is a person like Zhang Mantun who is used to it, he can't stand it, let alone want to eat any food.They can't wait to throw themselves on the kang immediately, and sleep until they are drunk and dreamy.

It is also because of the experience of surviving this time that Lin Baozhu had a rosy and bloody face just after being raised, and it started to look sallow again.Only then did he look a little radiant, but he quickly returned to the original frail and even weak and hairy look, so that Zhang Mandun could feel distressed.

Before Lin Baozhu could think of a way, Zhang Mantun proposed to ask the villagers to help paste the red seal on the tea paper, and then find someone to carve his own logo on the bamboo tube.

Lin Baozhu's mind is in a daze now, and she wished she didn't think about it at all.But she also knows that everything is not on the right track now, even if she is tired, she can't be lazy.After listening to what my man said, and thinking about it for a while, I felt that this matter was feasible.

After all, the body is the capital of the revolution, and it is not worth the candle to burn out the body in order to save some wages.

With this consensus, the two quickly settled on a solution.According to Zhang Mantun's intention, he made packaging for his own tea.Because the tea is selling fast now, and after revising the contract with shopkeeper Xu, she also intends to develop in a few nearby towns. If possible, she may open her own workshop and shop nearby in the future.In this way, the demand for packaging will only increase.

After figuring this out, she went to Mrs. Lu's house where she bought chickens and ducklings that afternoon.Because there is a scholar in the mother-in-law's house on this road, life has been tight all the time. Even the clothes of the grandson are patched and mended. The clothes with bare arms and legs and the field bench are playing together.

It was also because the little guy was sensible that Lin Baozhu thought of Mrs. Lu.The left and right have also explained that if you can pull it, you will naturally have to pull it.What's more, she always thinks that it is not easy to raise a woman who is a scholar in this village.

Not only is he busy with his life, but he also has to suffer from the lukewarm remarks of others, but no matter how hard it is or how difficult it is, he has never moved his child's mind to study.

Anyway, at this moment she came here with bamboo tubes and tea paper, and of course, the red paper on which she had written the word Zhang Ji at home.

As soon as she said it, Mrs. Lu agreed in one voice.Even with red eyes, he took Lin Baozhu's hand and said that she was benevolent.In the eyes of Mrs. Lu, this job is really a free job, but when there is no one else, I just get some batter to dip the words on the red paper.Even if it's carving words on the bamboo tube, it's not a labor-intensive job, and when my man comes back, he can help with it for a while.There is no delay in work, and it is not too tiring. You can still do three and earn a penny.

"Auntie, don't think about it too much. Any difficult things will pass. In the future, Brother Jincai will be promising, and you will survive. There will be plenty of good times." Lin Baozhu patted her hand and persuaded her A few words.Lu Jincai is the son who is studying at Mrs. Lu's family. I heard that this autumn is the end of his life.

After hearing this, Mrs. Lu didn't shed any tears, and responded to the happy words again and again.Even after sending Lin Baozhu to the entrance of Kuaicun, he walked back wiping the corners of his eyes.

Of course, Lin Baozhu would not just leave the work to her family. After leaving Mrs. Lu's house, she went to several other families where she had dug wild vegetables together before, and finally met Lizheng's wife, and she informed her.

Knowing that there is a job that can earn money by doing it, those daughter-in-laws who got together to gossip and rest all stretched their ears to listen.Seeing that Lizheng's wife took over the task of finding someone for her, all of them suddenly had smiles on their faces and shouted at Lizheng's wife, sister-in-law, elder sister-in-law.After that, many people came to look for Lin Baozhu one after another, and took tea paper and bamboo tubes to go home to work.

Of course, in order to prevent things from being spoiled, she would register them every time someone came to pick them up.In just a few days, when the women in the village visit again, they don’t hold too many front-line scorpions, and the tea paper and bamboo tubes with the Zhang Ji logo also begin to be circulated in various villages and towns as the tea is handed over again and again. up.

Because some people in the village really got their wages from Zhang Mantun and Lin Baozhu, and the men who came to work in Zhang's family could get some food from time to time to take home for the children, so the people who had been watching before, this time It was also ready to move for a while.

Some people, Mrs. Tian and Aunt Ma, who were close to each other, came to the door to inquire.I got the letter, saying that anyone who wants to paste tea paper and carve bamboo tubes can just go to Zhang's house and get something to do it. Immediately, they were overjoyed, and they all went to look for Lin Baozhu together.

There were also a few clever and shy daughters-in-law who were left behind by Lin Baozhu. After asking if they would like to pick and make tea with them, they signed a contract document like Mrs. Tian and became Zhang's helpers.

In this way, every time when the work is over, the freshly picked fresh tea leaves are more than 20 catties more than usual.In order to dry the fresh leaves as soon as possible, Lin Baozhu had to work overtime all night long, and it was not until the second watch that she was able to bake the green tea that had been dried before.In the end Zhang Mandun couldn't stand it any longer, he took his daughter-in-law back to the house, and coaxed her to sleep by himself, and then went to sort and pack the made tea overnight.

If there is Zhang Mandun to help, when all the work is done, the sky will already be bright.

After working like this for seven or eight days, although there were much more tea leaves than in the past, Lin Baozhu had to fry the greens overnight every day. Even with Zhang Mantun's help, it was really too much for her.Not to mention cooking, even eating and drinking, I can fall asleep.It was really exhausting, and the body was not as expected before, because I hired someone to help pick the tea, I got it back.

Seeing that they are earning more and more money every day, but the two of them have lost their energy, Lin Baozhu knows in his heart that this can no longer be the case.But even if she wanted to take a break, she couldn't wait for those tea leaves.But if it is delayed for a day, those fresh leaves will change their taste and lose their freshness.

However, tea making is a technical job. If you rush to find someone to do it, you may not only fail to do it well, but also smash the Zhang Ji signboard that you have worked so hard to erect.

After much deliberation, she discussed with her husband to see if it would be possible for Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma to lead people to work separately, one in charge of tea picking, and the other in charge of sorting tea leaves and drying shake greens in the workshop at home. Category.This can not only divide people, let each of them do their own work, not afraid that they will learn skills together, but also make the best use of them.Those who are agile can pick tea, and those who work meticulously can help tea houses grow.

But in this way, the wages will naturally increase. If it is possible, she even wants to teach Aunt Tian how to fry, so that someone can replace her, so as to save the delay when there is something to do in the future. Tea out.

This is also the division of labor and cooperation mentioned in the previous life. Skills improve efficiency without being too tiring.Although doing everything by yourself can guarantee the quality and craftsmanship, it is unrealistic for tea making and business.

After the discussion, Lin Baozhu took advantage of the time when Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma came to make tea and helped to dry the tea leaves, and told her her thoughts.It is said that in the future, two people will lead people to work every day, and the wages will become three taels of silver a month.

The rest of the people still settle by the catty, but they will have a meal at noon.In addition, there is a fixed expense of ten cents per day.If done well, there will be New Year's Eve ceremony at the end of the year.

Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma agreed on this proposal.After all, the two of them were watching, Mantun and Baozhu, working to earn money, working from dawn to dusk, they lost a lot of weight.If this goes on, even Iron Man can't stand it.

But although the two of them refused to refuse the work assigned by Lin Baozhu, but for the salary of three taels of silver, neither of them would accept it.You know, the men at home have never been paid so much in a month when they work outside.Three taels of silver is enough to buy two acres of poor land in Susukida.

In the end, it was Lin Baozhu's persuasion, and Zhang Mantun came over and said that the couple had discussed it, and since they said it, there was no reason to change it.After this, the two of them agreed, and they felt that they had accepted the love of the young couple.

With such an incident, the people who were still watching and worried that Zhang Mandun and Lin Baozhu would not be able to pay the money were all blown up.There is a fixed salary of ten renminbi a day, one meal, and the money for tea picking is another calculation.

In the next few days, people who want to work come out in an endless stream, and even some half-grown daughters want to work with their mothers to earn money so as to subsidize their families.Of course, Lin Baozhu didn't need so many people for the time being, and only said that if she needed it in the future, she would hire another person.In the end, although everyone was a little bit reconciled, they knew that it was their boss's business to use or not, and they were not qualified to intervene, not to mention that Lin Baozhu politely took them to pick up handmade objects, which was also for everyone. A way to earn money.

In the next few days, Lin Baozhu carefully handed over the details of tea picking to Aunt Ma, and she took care of the work of picking tea and inspecting fresh leaves.He even taught Mrs. Tian how to dry and stir-fry the greens.In fact, Hang Qing and Yao Qing are easy to say, they are both women who are used to the work, no matter what, they are very dexterous in doing the work.So in just two times, Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Wang have learned about the same.
