Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 241

The third grandpa also knew that Xiuyao's family conditions were better now, so he naturally didn't refuse, he is famous for his careful budgeting.

Moreover, the business of the third grandpa's family has also started to grow. Originally, he brought his own son and grandson to do it. Later, Xiuyao helped him get a lot of work, and he had to find a carpenter outside to partner.

Even if it is urgent work, everyone can catch up without delay.

Several people discussed it for most of the night, but the family members didn't pay attention when they came to ask for dinner. After the discussion, they felt hungry. The third grandpa shouted: "Old woman, you don't cook for us either."

The third grandma said angrily: "I called you just now, don't you think I'm long-winded?" Just now they were too engrossed in chatting, making gestures, Li asked Liu Fei to call them to eat, but they didn't respond, the third grandma Called again, but the old man yelled at her. Whenever she got angry, she asked Liu Fei to go back and eat, and leave them alone.

The third grandpa smiled and said, "Hurry up and warm up the food for us."

Old Liu said: "Third brother, go, go to my place and have a drink."

The third grandfather said: "You pull it down, I have business, you can drink it yourself." He went to find his son and grandchildren to start assigning work, and tomorrow he began to prepare the wood for construction. Let others do the work.

Xiuyao and Lao Liu headed back home, and Mrs. Li left it for them. Qin Yang was reciting books to practice calligraphy——Xiuyao gave him an idea. The husband asked him to write three big characters every day, and Xiuyao asked him to write the words that needed to be memorized. book of.

Hearing Xiuyao's return, Qin Yang dropped his pen and ran over, "Sister, I miss me so much, you haven't come to see me for a long time."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Didn't you just come back home from vacation a few days ago?" She touched the top of his head, and the boy had grown taller again, he no longer looked like a child, but looked a bit like a teenager.

Now Xiaozheng also reads along with him, but he doesn't need to practice calligraphy, he just needs to memorize, such as Thousand Character Classic, Three Character Classic, Enlightenment of Enlightenment and so on.On weekdays, he went to school to play with him, and when he returned home, he followed Qin Yang to endorse.Their purpose of studying is different from Liu Fei's, and their learning methods and teacher's requirements are naturally also different.

Now Liu Fei also goes there every few days to ask Mr. Ren to teach him something new, and he spends most of his time helping out at the mill.

Xiuyao asked Qin Yang how the book was and whether he had shown it to her husband. Qin Yang said with a smile: "Mr. said this book is good, but he still has a lot more, and he will show it to us."

Xiuyao asked him: "Did you tell me when you can try it?"

Qin Yang said: "Sir, he must be at least ten years old. I'm not as good as Young Master Ning. He was a scholar at the age of 11."

Xiuyao didn't tell him that Gu Ning was already a candidate. After all, there is no comparison. Gu Ning's childhood environment is naturally different from that of Qin Yang. She smiled and said, "Master Ning can actually be a scholar at the age of eight or nine. He is only 11 years old. It just happened that I wanted to take the exam that year."

After Qin Yang heard this, he said, "You and I will try it when we are ten years old."

Xiuyao touched his thin face and said: "It's okay, you listen to Mr., you can go whenever he asks you to go, have you been beaten recently?"

Qin Yang smiled and said, "Less." Now his courses have basically caught up, and the tasks assigned by Mr. Ren can basically be completed, so he hasn't been beaten much, but has been praised several times.

Naturally, Xiuyao knew his studies well, but she just asked him to see that he was no longer so aggrieved or showing off, but instead had the calmness and introversion of a scholar, humbled, and happy in her heart, knowing that he had grown up .

Xiuyao took out a small purse from her pocket. It was an ordinary blue cloth with simple freehand plum and bamboo embroidered with white, green, yellow, and red threads. It was tied around Qin Yang's waist, "I gave it to you." .”

Qin Yang picked it up and looked at it fondly, and said with a smile, "Sister, your sewing is so ugly."

Xiuyao was in a hurry, "Don't take it here."

Qin Yang didn't give it, "What do you want back? Don't be so stingy."

This little boy, Xiuyao gave him a brainstorm and asked him to continue practicing calligraphy, while she went to Lao Liutou for dinner, and had two drinks with him—to help pour the wine.

After dinner, a few people chatted, and Xiuyao asked her grandma to bring her aunt and sister-in-law.After everyone was seated, she said, "Grandma, Grandpa, I want to find some people to weave."

Old Liu said: "Every household weaves, can we make money by weaving?"

Xiuyao said: "We don't weave ordinary ones, we weave patterned ones, like satin."

Everyone was surprised: "How to weave that?"

Xiuyao smiled and said: "My aunt and I have already made a deal. I went to the cloth shop to see a few patterns. At that time, I can weave one by myself and then send the cloth together. The price will be better."

The eldest aunt said: "Your sister-in-law has a loom here, which can be used. But your aunt gave it to you, and there is only one at home."

Xiuyao said with a smile: "My aunt doesn't need to weave herself now, and the loom is useless, so she gave it to me. Her small market is enough for them to work, so we don't need to bring her this time."

Xiao Chen said with a smile: "I want to add one more, now I don't have much work to do." The grandma and mother-in-law who cook and wash at home are rushing to do it. It was originally said that she would take care of the children, but the children have gone to school. It’s just weaving, even if you don’t sell it for money, you still need it at home.

Xiuyao said: "Sister-in-law, of course. Grandmother, you vacate two rooms, and when the time comes, you will find a few sister-in-laws to weave here every day. When the cloth is sold, they will count their wages. Cotton dyes and so on Yes, I will deliver them."

When everyone heard that Xiuyao was going to hire helpers, Mrs. Chen hesitated, "Yaoyao, if they lose money, do we have to pay them too?"

Xiuyao smiled and said: "That's natural, but I've done the calculations, it won't lose money, if a piece of cloth is two feet long, there will be a profit of about three hundred. I always make an order with the cloth shop, and then we weave, the price is also the same." It won’t be too bad. After they come, we will share with them. Excluding the cost, we will divide the profit of a piece of cloth into three shares, I will be responsible for the delivery, and your grandma will be responsible for the place, lamp oil, water, etc. , the weaver takes a share. Then we need to have two people who have been in charge of spinning, turning, and sizing. The wages can also be deducted from the profit, and the deductions will be divided.”

Everyone said that if they make money like this, then they will do it.

Mrs. Li said with a smile: "We don't need to take a share, we just provide space, and you should get more for delivery and sales."

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Grandmother, it's not that simple. You are responsible for mediating and supervising them, and if there is a problem with the loom, you have to repair it. There are many problems."

Chen said with a smile: "If so, we will do it."

Old Liutou said with a smile: "Girl, now you are giving them arrogance. Your grandma is always talking at home that we don't care about them now. Now that they have jobs, I'm afraid they won't be given food." We do."

Li said with a smile: "We also make money, if it's not less than you, why should we cook for you. From now on, you and I will be responsible for cooking."

Old Liutou laughed and said, "If you dare to eat it, I will do it."

Li said: "I dare, you just do it every day."

Chen said with a smile: "Mother, there is me, I cook."

Li Shi said: "This family's meal, you can't do it alone, it's me and you two. As for the yarn spinning that Yaoyao said, I have someone to choose. Didn't Liu Wu take his boy to help feed the pigs in the mill What? Just ask his mother-in-law to bring the girl to spin the thread, and your third grandfather’s second daughter-in-law, who can’t help with carpentry, come and give us a line of defense. How do we calculate the price for these thread spinners?”

Everyone looked at Xiuyao after thinking about it, Xiuyao said with a smile: "I don't think it's better to talk about the catty. If the quality of a catty of thread is up to standard, it will cost 32 Wen, and it can be increased slowly in the future, like 34, 12." A three-spindle spinning wheel, You can spin three catties of cotton in four days, and as long as you are proficient, it is about [-] taels a day. Rural women can basically spin yarn.Now a little girl in Xiuli can spin enough thread to supply the weaving cloth produced in Qin Dynasty.

As for the cotton gin, she is the only one who can provide it now. As the technology matures, she will find a way to make the three-person cotton gin by herself.This kind of cotton gin is different from ordinary ones. It needs three people to operate the ordinary one, but the amount of cotton that can be ginned in a day is much more than the ordinary method.For example, if one person is so tired that his back hurts and he works more than ten hours a day, a skilled worker can only squeeze three catties of lint, but this kind of three-person joint effort may have at least fifteen or six catties of lint a day.At that time, such a cotton gin would be enough for one workshop, but now she probably needs several people to gin cotton.

After discussing it here, Xiuyao asked them to find someone first. Finally, the one who had a loom at home brought the loom. She brought someone to modify the loom in two days.Because she had to go home to organize people, she went home with Qin Ye the next day.

It is easier for her to find people in the family, and Zhang Guifang helped her organize them. Cao Yuelian, Qin Decai's wife, Qin Chan, and four or five daughters-in-law in this village, and seven or eight people who have been working with Zhang Guifang in other villages, can organize a team of 20 people. For small workshops, the division of labor can be more detailed.But at the beginning, she can't use so many people, so she has to try it first to see if it goes well, and she will definitely not use it if it is unusable.As for the location, this time it was not at Zhou's house, but at the venue.

The three houses are about to be raised, Xiuyao discussed with her parents and elder brother and sister-in-law that they will be used as a weaving workshop first, and there is no need for walls in the three houses, only wall pillars are needed.In this way, everyone can weave together, and it will be more lively.

Xu Erni smiled and said, "Yaoyao, you can do whatever you want, we all support you."

The attitude of the others was even more like this. Originally, Xiuyao was worried that her sister-in-law would have an opinion. Seeing that she readily agreed, she had no worries.
