"The little boss is so kind to us and thinks of us so much!" The female workers were very happy. Although they knew they had to take good care of themselves first, they had families after all. They couldn't bear to finish the good meat rice, so they only ate half of it. , and then called the children to the west entrance of the village, and distributed the remaining meals to the children.
The children of Chai, Zhang and Hu’s family had a great time eating, and the west entrance of the village was as lively as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Dengdengdeng, Jiang Xiaozhu ran back to her and said: "Sister-in-law, I look carefully, both boys and girls eat meat rice, there is no preference."
Qin Xiaomi smiled , praising her: "Our Xiaozhu is really amazing. , you are so good at doing things at the age of four and a half, you must be rewarded... Well, at the end of the month, you will be paid, and you can save it for yourself."
"Wow, will I become a rich woman? ?" Jiang Xiaozhu was extremely happy.
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "If you save it until you grow up, you will indeed become a little rich woman."
But Jiang Xiaozhu was too young after all, so Qin Xiaomi couldn't believe her words and looked at the older Qin wheat.
Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Cousin, we hid and watched, and the girls were also given meat, so we are not too partial."
Qin Xiaomi felt relieved and said to Jiang Xiaozhu again : "Don't call me sister-in-law Son, please don’t forget to call me Sister Xiaomi.”
But the eldest brother asked her to call her sister-in-law, and even said that he would give her ten cents if she called her. She has already saved a lot of pennies. He is the richest little kid in the village.
Grandma Qin saw them and shouted: "Xiaozhu, Xiaomai, where have you gone? Come and eat quickly. This village is not safe. You little kids can't run around, be careful of meeting bad people."
"Grandma Qin, we are not running around, we are going to make money." Jiang Xiaozhu answered, jumping up and running to have dinner with Grandma Qin.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
After lunch, after resting for half an hour, the workshop started.
Everyone was very motivated on the first day of work. By the time it was half way through, the open space in front and back of the workshop was already filled with pots, buckets and cans filled with colored soup.
Qin Xiaomi: "We have to buy more big vats to hold the color soup. The pots and buckets are too small to last."
Jiang Dalang suggested: "Xiaomi, why not ask someone to dig a well as soon as possible. Even if there is no workshop here, the well will not be wasted and our families can use it.”
Su Su is used to bathing every day, so it would be more convenient to have a well in the house.
Qin Xiaomi also wants to dig a well as soon as possible, but: "After the first batch of goods is shipped and the cost is recovered, please ask Dong Xue to help us find someone to dig a well."
The investment in collecting hay, hiring workers, and opening a workshop was too great, and now she was no longer extremely poor, but deeply in debt.
If it weren't for Fourth Master Qu and his friends' love of giving gifts, her family would be so poor that they would have no food now!
Jiang Dalang felt heartbroken when he saw this. In their previous life, where had they ever worried about money? If you are really poor, you can raid your home or attack a neighboring country. A single battle can bring back countless amounts of money.
He persuaded her again: "Xiaomi, you have been tired for a day. I will keep an eye on the rest of the work. You go back and rest first."
Qin Xiaomi did not refuse: "Okay. ”
The workshop starts at midnight and stops half way through the hour. Then everyone goes to fetch water, put out open fires, and clean up. After finishing, they can go home and busy with household chores.
Zhang Niuwang's daughter-in-law was very conscious and immediately called to the female worker of the Zhang family: "Follow me to fetch water."
Chai Panniang called to the Chai family: "Go to the room where the soup is cooked to put out the open fire, and then clean the workshop Clean. ”
Hu Da’s wife was making soup, so she stayed to put out the open fire.
Qin Liupo is like a female prison guard, crossing her legs and directing everyone: "Clean up, check and register. If you are unqualified, your wages will be deducted!"
Then he called Zhang Niuwang’s daughter: “Girl Qin Niang, come here and give the old woman a leg... I’ve been exhausted this day.”
Zhang Qinniang was honest and still remembered the Qin family's kindness, so she hurried over, knelt on the ground, and beat Qin Liupo's legs.
Bang, a stone was thrown out of the main room on the right, which startled Qin Liupo, and said angrily: "Which shrew who doesn't want to do it throws stones? Stand up for me!" Haha, Qin Xiaomi sneered. : "Sixth Po, we haven't gotten rid of poverty yet. Are you ready to start? Stand up and go to work, or your family’s dividends will be deducted!”
She was not resting, but was preparing secret powder in the house. As a result, he heard Qin Liupo acting like a monster and was so angry that he opened the window to punish her.
"Don't deduct the dividends from the sixth wife's family!" Qin Liupo was scared to death. She hurriedly grabbed a broom and followed the others to clean up the workshop.
Qin Xiaomi said to Zhang Qinniang again: "You are a female worker, not a maid with a death contract. As long as you do the work in the workshop well, don't do other tasks that you are not supposed to do."
Zhang Qinniang I was stunned for a moment, and then I came back to my senses. , smiled and said: "Yes, I listen to the little boss."
Qin Xiaomi lowered the window and continued to prepare various secret recipe powders and secret recipe water in the main room on the right... Although these two things are not needed much, they can She was too tired to do it alone.
So after dinner, she called Aunt Qin, Qin Mei, Qin Ertao, and Qin Xiaogu, and gave them the raw materials needed for the secret recipe... alum, white soil, green golden grass, and silver stem. Give them to each of them.
“One person can pound the same thing into fine powder and then give it to me.”
She will add alkaline vinegar and other things according to the proportions to prepare usable secret recipe powder and secret recipe water.
The two things with unique flavors, Green Golden Grass and Silver Stem, are her trump cards... These two things are not available in modern times, but they were very common herbs in the Dasheng Dynasty. Unexpectedly, they were common herbs in the Sheng Dynasty. It was also available in the Wei Dynasty, and it was still a medicinal material that could treat livestock diseases.
However, in addition to curing diseases, they can also cause chemical reactions in the color soup, making the color darker and brighter, and improving the color-fixing ability of the fabric.
But Qin Xiaomi didn't explain these principles, and Aunt Qin and the others didn't ask, they just followed Qin Xiaomi's instructions.
After working for a long time, they grinded the ingredients for the secret recipe: "Xiaomi, here you go."
Qin Xiaomi took it and said with a smile: "The grinding is really fine."
He then said: "Sister-in-law, you can't do the rest of the work, so go back to sleep first."
Sister-in-law Qin No answer: "Why can't it be done? We can help you with the secret recipe Wrap up the powder one by one and fill bottles with the secret recipe water."
She called Qin Mei and the others: "Let's wait outside. After she prepares the ingredients, we can come in and pack the secret recipe. "
"Hey." Qin Mei and the others went out immediately.
Qin Xiaomi continued to hide in the house, preparing the secret recipe powder according to the proportions... It was the first half of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the weather was hot, and Qin Xiaomi was sweating profusely.
Jiang Dalang felt very distressed when he saw it. While guarding the sex soup in the workshop, he guarded Qin Xiaomi.
Another hour later, he couldn't bear it anymore, knocked on the door and said, "Xiaomi, it's late at night. Let's continue the preparation tomorrow. Go back to bed first."
Qin Xiaomi: " It's ready. Sister, come in and wrap it up. Let's do it together. "Hey." Aunt Qin and the others hurried in and took half an hour to finish.
...
At midnight the next day, Qin Xiaomi got up and took Chai Panniang and the others to pour water and mud together.
"Is this color mud?"
Qin Xiaomi nodded: "Yes, after drying, it will be pigment powder, which can be bottled and sold for money."
Can it be sold for money?
These words are so encouraging, the female workers are working very hard.
