take a wife to support the family

Chapter 163 Joint Construction Workshop 2
From the perspective of doing business in later generations, Lily's plan is not considered meticulous, but in the countryside, ordinary people don't even know how to make a contract when borrowing money. It is rare for her to be so clear-cut and thoughtful. Be very careful.

After Lily finished talking about her plan, she looked at Uncle Sheng with a smile and said, "Uncle, what do you think of my charter?"

Uncle Sheng sighed: "If my son has thoughts like yours, why should I worry?"

He said that he already knew Lily's regulations, and he went back to find out what the master said, no matter whether it was successful or not, he would come tomorrow to give Lily an answer.

Lily nodded and smiled, "Then I will entrust this matter to uncle."

After sending Liu Sheng to the door, Lily heard Zhu talking nonsense again: "Female family, what are you doing talking to men? I'm not afraid to make people laugh when I say it."

The smile on his face faded, and Lily said: "I don't do business, what does the family eat and drink? I am in a serious business, and I do it well. Except for you, who will laugh at me?"

Mrs. Zhu muttered: "I've been out these few days, and I've heard people trick you a lot!"

"Then don't go out when you are old, and take good care of my father in the future, and Lamei and I will go to work in the store." Even ordinary relatives and friends say these words, and people feel chills, let alone this is my mother.

Zhu still did not give up and said: "Marry a man, marry a man, dress and eat, since your man tells you not to eat or drink, what are you doing with him?"

"What are you doing?" Lily sneered, "Isn't it because you always have a place to go at this time, so that you don't have to spend the night under the eaves of others and get looked down upon by others."

Lily couldn't figure out what Mrs. Zhu wanted to do. Is it interesting to say such a thing?

Zhu said: "What are you in a hurry for? I'm not doing it for your own good. You are still young, so when you go out to do business, people will inevitably say, why don't you give it to me, and I'll help you look after it. No one will gossip for sure."

Now Baihe understands that Mrs. Zhu is still planning on her family business, and the joy of negotiating a big business deal with Uncle Sheng is completely gone. She stares at Mrs. Zhu for a long time, stares at Mrs. Zhu and begins to stammer : "You, what do you see me doing?"

Lily said clearly: "I take care of my business myself, and I don't worry about anyone else." After saying that, she went back to her room to sleep.

With embarrassment on her face, Mrs. Zhu said to Carpenter Li, "Look at her, am I not for her?"

Carpenter Li Bamboo Sighed heavily, not wanting to answer her words.

There is no reason why the parents of the natal family live in the house of the daughter and son-in-law. Now that the carpenter Li is seriously injured, it is Lily's filial piety to live in Lily's house. Zhu's family is not only ungrateful, but also thinks that Lily owes her, and does everything possible to add trouble to Lily.

On the second day, Lily took Lamei to the tofu shop. Before leaving, she left a sentence: "Mother, if you have time to chew my tongue with idlers outside, why don't you cook for my father at home and sew a suit of clothes for him—on your father's body?" That one is our New Year's Eve, it doesn't fit well, I have already cut the cloth, you can make it in two days."

Mrs. Zhu was furious: "Little bastard, are you using my old lady instead?"

Lily ignored her and just walked out with a cold face.Lamei didn't look good on Mrs. Zhu, so Mrs. Zhu had no choice but to go back and complain to Carpenter Li, who said, "I see, the big girl is right."

Zhu suddenly felt that the whole family was bought by Lily, and no one turned to her. When she was going to gossip with people in the streets and alleys, only Li Bamboo Carpenter in the family was worried, but she was the one who was worried. ...In the end, I was so wronged and wronged that I took the needle and thread to sew clothes for Li Baijiang.

As she sewed clothes, she muttered nonstop. Carpenter Li told her to talk about it for decades. She had already practiced the ability to turn a deaf ear, so she just pretended not to hear.

When the sun was in mid-air, Carpenter Li called Zhu Shi: "It's time to make lunch."

Zhu put down the work at hand and said: "Two dead girls, I'm going to starve to death!"

Complaining for a long time, Lily and Lamei didn't see the food, so I had to go to the kitchen to prepare water noodles to eat, and felt that I had raised a few white-eyed wolves.

Lily was eating steamed buns and bean curd in the shop, and she was still a little worried about Carpenter Li, Lamei said: "Take a look at yourself, no matter how lazy she is, how can she still be hungry?"

After eating here, Liu Sheng came to look for him, and Lily couldn't care less about worrying, so she gathered up her spirits to talk to Liu Sheng.

As soon as Liu Sheng entered the door, he smiled and said, "Dear family, I would like to congratulate you today."

Bai He was overjoyed: "Uncle said so, so it's done?"

Li Caifeng and Wenwa's parents both asked what was going on, and Liu Sheng said, "I'll tell you first, and I'll tell you later."

Lily led Liu Sheng to the back yard, put a bench for him to sit on under the pear tree, and asked with a smile, "Uncle Sheng, don't try to keep me secret, I'm very anxious."

She said she was in a hurry, but her face was calm, Liu Sheng knew that Lily was not someone he could manipulate, so he said bluntly, "I talked to the master about this early this morning, and the master was very happy. That's right, even if you can't sell vermicelli outside to make money, it would be nice to add a few new dishes to farmers."

Lily clapped her hands: "Master Liu is merciful."

Liu Sheng continued: "Master, according to your charter, the two companies will cooperate to build a workshop, you will make the method, and we will make the people. If you make a profit in the future, you will get [-]%; if you lose money, you don't need to put it in it." .”

It was only at this time that Lily realized that there was still a loss. "Ahhh", "I didn't expect that there was still a loss. Thanks to your praise, uncle, I blushed. You see, I was still careless."

In terms of this matter, both parties benefit. Lily doesn't want much dividends, but she only comes up with ideas, and doesn't need to spend manpower and material resources. objective.

In addition, with this workshop, even if she cooperates with the Liu family, even the Song family would not dare to despise her. Push her too much.

Liu Sheng was used to socializing outside, so he took care of the invitation to Baoshan and other matters by himself. He wrote the deed, signed it, and decided to build a workshop.

The contract was finalized, and Lily asked Uncle Sheng to find someone who could write from the Liu Mansion: "How many sweet potatoes, how much water, and when to press the powder, these things are just spoken, I'm afraid it's done by one person and one person." Things are different, since it is a workshop, it is better to ask people to write down the points that should be paid attention to, and then recruit good workers and workers, and follow the rules."

Uncle Sheng called the elders of several generations of Liu's mansion, who are loyal and loyal, and are not afraid of him leaking secrets. Holding a piece of light paper in the palm of his hand, he feels heavy.

After the next time, Lily said again: "I make vermicelli at home, using a colander. This can't be done in the workshop, and I have to order some sieve plates."

Uncle Sheng said with a smile: "When I ask someone to draw the pattern tomorrow, I will ask Liu Carpenter to do it. You have to watch it in the middle. Sometimes it is not enough to just talk about it. You have the most experience, and you are the least likely to make mistakes when you talk about it." .”

Lily nodded and said yes. When ordering the sieve plate a few days later, she really put forward a suggestion: "This sieve plate is similar to the colander used at home, with only round holes the size of chopsticks. In my opinion, it is better to make some more. Very thin round holes, wide and flat holes, and more patterns."

Uncle Sheng was very satisfied, and asked the carpenter Liu Laopa to make two more sieve plates and carve holes of different shapes according to Lily's instructions.The sieve plates are all the same size, which is convenient to disassemble and replace on the wooden tamping machine.

Lily looked at the flour tamping machine that Father Liu and a few others had figured out, and felt that it was already a bit like the noodle tamping machine she had seen in her previous life. With the idea of ​​the lever, Father Liu can build a pedal-only tamping machine by himself based on the wooden pestle used for pounding rice, which saves a lot of manpower.

However, the structure of the noodle making machine is more complicated, and fine gears are used. Although Lily can draw out a rough prototype and ask people to make it, after all, I don’t want to be regarded as a monster. Nowadays, women in every household can roll noodles and make noodles. The noodle press came and there was nowhere to sell it, so she just thought about it and put the noodle press down.

In just one month, a vermicelli workshop has completed everything, making vermicelli as thick as chopsticks, vermicelli as thin as a hair, and vermicelli strips as wide as two fingers. Lily, Lamei, Wang Xiaofu and others went door-to-door to give vermicelli to acquaintances Try it early, and tell them how to do it in detail.

Everyone tasted it, and it was really delicious. It uses sweet potatoes as raw materials and is not expensive. Since then, every household has eaten vermicelli, and Lily's tofu shop has also set up a separate section to sell vermicelli.

Soon after, the vermicelli was sold to the county town, and even further to the provincial capital, which Lily didn't know about.

Let's say that in the county seat, Chen Bin was talking to Shopkeeper Liu: "The letter from Jingli has arrived."

"Oh, what's the result?" Shopkeeper Liu leaned forward and stared at Chen Bin.

Chen Bindao: "It's not bad, but in Qingliu Town, Song Haonian's daughter-in-law made vermicelli again-this thing was available in the capital a few years ago, but it is rare in Taiping County. She is a woman who has never been out. Where did you learn it?"

Shopkeeper Liu went through Li Baihe's experience in his mind, and said with a smile: "I really don't know where I learned it from. Master Song's family really doesn't look like an ignorant country peasant woman."

The two discussed Lily, but they came to no conclusion. They turned their attention back to the letter that was sealed tightly with wax-not only the seal of sealant, but also the seal of Jin Yiwei to prove the letter. No one intercepted and tampered with it halfway.

Chen Bin baked it by the lamp, opened the wax seal, and carefully pulled out the letter paper.

This letter was related to his future, wealth and life, and Chen Bin was afraid to read it for a moment: "Just this trembling, if the wrong bet is made, we will die together."

After all, shopkeeper Liu was older and calmer, and said with a smile: "Let's open it and have a look, even if there is something wrong, it won't be a death, and there will always be a way to survive."

Chen Bin opened the letter, but it was only a few dozen words on a piece of paper, and he actually read it carefully for a quarter of an hour.

After a long silence, he let out a breath slowly: "Jade is that piece of jade, people... have to check again!"
