Chapter 134 Self-directed and self-acted
Qin Xiaomi reminded her: "Zhou Shiliu, you can't say this to anyone else. Remember, a workshop can never compare with a yamen."
Mother Zhouliu said hurriedly: "I understand, I understand. I won't say anything I shouldn't say. Don't worry, little boss."
Qin Xiaomi nodded and looked at Qin Cunquan's wife.
Su continued to pay wages by name, and at midnight, all the female workers had received their wages.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said: "Everyone, please go home. My family must be waiting impatiently."
It is indeed impatient. Chai Zhang, Hu Qian, Huang Sun and other family members of the female workers are waiting at the west entrance of the village, looking eagerly. Looking to the west of the village.
After seeing the figures of the female workers, Old Man Hu shouted excitedly: "Come out, the female workers are coming out. Boss, boss, hurry up and pick up your wife!"
He shouted to Hu again. Son: "Grandson, hurry up and pick up your mother and say more nice things. Your mother is now the backbone of our family and the money bag."
Old man Qian called to his granddaughter: "Hua Ya, hurry up and pick up your mother. Show your face in front of the Qin family more, and you can join next year. Working in the Qin family’s workshop earns two taels of silver.”
Old Man Hu felt sour when he heard this, and glared at Old Man Qian: "You are the only one who knows how to play tricks on me!"
Old Man Qian chuckled: "Then you have to have a granddaughter. Those families who don't have granddaughters want to play this trick!" If you don't have any good intentions, you won't be able to earn two taels of silver."
Old man Hu was angry: "You old man, you want to fight, don't you?"
Hu Da was convinced. : " Dad, Village Chief Qin said that villagers are not allowed to fight in the village, otherwise they will not recruit their female relatives to work; if it is serious, they will have to be investigated by the officials."
When Old Man Hu thought of this incident, he did not dare to do it again. After arguing with Old Man Qian, he glared at Hu Da, Hu Yefei and Hu Xiaowu and said, "You three, hurry up and have more girls. Now girls are worth money in our village!"
This is true, and everyone agrees: "It is indeed true. If a girl is born in the future, she will have to raise her well and earn two taels of work."
Huang Laoer listened. , thinking of his daughter Huang Niniang, her eyes were red with grief... If they had known this, the couple would have tried their best to hold on. If he could survive until now, his wife would definitely be able to work in a workshop and live a good life earning two taels of wages.
"Haita mother, Qin mother, we are here!" Zhang Niuwang brought his son to pick up his wife and daughter, looking at them expectantly.
Zhang Niuwang's wife nodded at him: "We, mother and daughter, have received their wages and firewood, starting from this amount..."
She stretched out a hand towards him. Index finger.
Zhang Niuwang was overjoyed... Is this at least one tael of silver? !
Zhang Niuwang was so excited that his heart was pounding. After all the female workers from Chai and Zhang's families arrived, he called Old Man Chai: "Uncle, let's go back as soon as we are all here. It's not good to be outside." "Wandering around."
I have my wages and I have to go home quickly to hide the money.
Old man Chai nodded and shouted: "Those from the Chai family and the Zhang family, go back quickly!"
After hearing this, the Chai and Zhang families escorted the female worker to the big house in the middle of the village. .
Men named Hu Qian, Sun Huang, etc. also surrounded the female workers and went home.
After the female workers from Zhoujiacun arrived at the village entrance, they also saw Zhou Thirteen and Zhou Sixteenth who had been waiting for a long time.
When Mrs. Zhou Liu saw her son, she asked: "Sixteen, does your yamen pay salaries this month?!"
According to the rules, the yamen pays salaries at the end of the month, but because of Wei In case of natural disasters or military calamities, the imperial court would cut off the yamen's pay. You will be paid this month, but not next month.
Asked in front of everyone, Zhou Shiliu felt a little embarrassed: "Mother, this is a secret of the Yamen, we can't tell it."
"Bah, what kind of secret? If you haven't sent it, you haven't sent it. I don't dare to admit it." Mrs. Zhou Liu patted her money bag and said, "I have made money on my own now. I can save money to give you a wife. I don't have to wait for you. Pay is due!”
If it weren’t for the government’s payment, Zhou Liu wouldn’t have to steal the work from the workshop.
Zhou Shiliu blushed with shame and said hurriedly: "Thank you for your hard work, mother... let's talk about it when we go home."
Stop shouting, if you keep shouting, everyone should know about the Yamen Too poor to pay wages. Besides, it’s not just the government officials who don’t have money, the officers and soldiers in the military department also don’t have military pay... Nowadays, money is closely tied to the state capital, which is experiencing disasters and wars, and to the northwest troops who are on the battlefield, and it’s not their turn yet. .
"Humph, you just have a good reputation, but you haven't seen any money or food!" Ms. Zhou Liu didn't want to embarrass her son, so she stopped after saying a few words, took her wages and happily returned to the village with the villagers.
After arriving in Zhoujia Village, Zhou Sixteenth and Zhou Thirteenth went to see the old village chief Zhou and talked about the Qin family’s wages.
The old village chief Zhou was extremely happy when he heard this: "Just give me the wages."
Many employers like to default on their wages, so he has been worried.
Ask Zhou Shiliu again: "Have you found out about the secret recipe raw materials? Can the secret recipe raw materials be purchased in the county now?"
Zhou Shiliu shook his head: "I can't buy it. I heard from Mr. Han and the others that the source of the secret recipe raw materials can't even reach Baofu County. It was cut off in Fucheng."
Old village chief Zhou heard this. Shocked: "Whose family is this that has such great ability?!"
Zhou Shiliu still shook his head: "I don't know..."
< br>Old village chief Zhou was angry: "Why don't you know anything? Where is my boss? When can he go home?!"
Zhou Shiliu still shook his head: "I don't know, the Yamen is now I'm busy. I'm afraid I won't have time to come back in a short time. But the supervisor said, if you have any orders, just tell me and I'll pass the message."
Old Village Chief Zhou: "...You don't even know a thing, what use do I expect from you? Go home and rest."
"Hey." He went home on the 16th.
Because she was getting paid, Zhou Liu was generous. During dinner, she fried a plate of eggs with meat oil.
......
The next day, the excitement of the female workers had not passed. They came to work early and cooked more than 700 jars of sesame soup and made two thousand small cans of sesame mud. .
He was so motivated that Qin Xiaomi was so tired that he spent the whole day hiding in the house preparing secret recipe packets and color-fixing liquid.
After six days of doing this, by the eighth day of August, Huang Yanglong and the others had used 70% of the secret recipe ingredients they had brought back from neighboring counties.
Qin Xiaomi could only go to Xue Dong's house: "If you can't find the real culprit, you won't have the secret ingredients to use."
Don't ask her why she doesn't find the real culprit herself. ?
Because she is now powerless and has no one to find out, she can only use the power of the Xue Dong family to find out the real culprit.
Grandpa Qin thought of Huang Yanglong's temper and asked: "Dong Xue's family, could it be Master Huang who bought all the ingredients for the secret recipe?"
The Huang family has such financial resources, but Master Huang hates Brother Zheng of Dong Xue's family , could ruin this business.
What?
Xue Dongjia laughed: "Impossible. If Alon had such great ability, Brother Zheng would have passed on the position of boss to him long ago."
Buy all the raw materials , and leaving no trace is not something ordinary forces can do.
However...
Xue Dongjia told them: "Vice General Liang has found out some clues. There will be results around the Mid-Autumn Festival. Let's hold on for a few more days."
"...Sure, then let's Wait a few more days." Grandpa Qin took Qin Xiaomi home.
The next day, the workshop was still in operation. By August 11, when the secret recipe raw materials were almost exhausted, there was an additional fleet of vehicles on the village road.
Chen Xiaoqi rode to the entrance of the village and said to the Xue family: "The Yamen has come to deliver the raw materials of the secret recipe to you. They are delivered directly from Fucheng. Go and notify the Xue Dong family and the Qin family to collect the raw materials!"
