Chapter 364 Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest
"What? Those are thirty female workers, and they have to be called thirty. If you want me to die, just say it directly, no need to be so tactful!" Second Uncle Qin got angry again and lay down directly. Swinging on the ground.
Qin Dashi, Qin Dayan, Xu Erjun, Qiao Songguo and others looked at him, not knowing what to say.
Because of Qin Cunquan's relationship, Xiao Jingyi was very worried about Uncle Qin. He squatted next to him and persuaded: "Uncle Zhuang, don't lie on the ground, get up quickly."
Uncle Qin didn't listen. , just lie down.
Qin Xiaomi sneered: "Get up, otherwise starting from tomorrow, you will wash the clothes in the second room by yourself, don't ask the servants to help."
Qi Liu, Second Uncle Qin got up immediately... It's a joke, it's a cold day Yes, the couple don't want to do laundry.
Grandpa Qin looked at the remaining baskets of pork and discussed with Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, Huang Laoer and the others have done a good job this year. They have prevented a lot of trouble for our family, and the Huang family is now also It can be regarded as working for our family, grandpa thought. Give them some annual gifts."
You have to invest money to support people. Qin Xiaomi agreed: "Okay. How many annual gifts do you want to give them?"
Grandpa Qin said: " Two pounds of meat and two pounds of noodles.”
Second Uncle Qin exploded again: "Give so much? No, I don't agree!"
Qin Xiaomi is not stingy, but: "Grandpa, let's give Huang Laoer's family thirty catties of meat, thirty catties Let him take it back and distribute it to the Huang family. This will increase Huang Lao Er's prestige. Secondly, if something happens, it will be the Huang family's own business."
Secret Uncle Qin was startled. , looked at Qin Xiaomi: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, little niece, you are indeed scheming all the time."
Qin Xiaomi sneered: "If I hadn't planned, our whole family would have died on the way to escape. ! "
Uh-huh, Uncle Qin quickly changed the topic and asked: "Little niece, how many pounds of meat are you going to weigh for the female workers? "
Qin Xiaomi said: "Each female worker has two kilograms of fat meat and two kilograms of lean meat."
"Four kilograms of meat for each person? Why, they are your reborn parents. This is how you want to repay!" Qin The second uncle wanted to ask her, wouldn't she feel bad if he gave her so much meat? !
Qin Xiaomi said: "The Spring Festival only happens once a year, so giving a few more kilograms of meat is nothing. And I just want to tell people from all over the country that those who have good relations with the Qin family will be treated favorably; Those who make enemies in their families will be punished with evil consequences! "
Her family is an outsider fleeing from famine, so they will naturally be ostracized by the locals. If her family wants to live well, they must use both kindness and power.
Second Uncle Qin: “…”
There is no end to your selfishness.
Grandpa Qin said: "Second brother, do as Xiaomi said."
Qin Dashi and the others also supported Qin Xiaomi: "Erzhuang, Xiaomi is very powerful, will you listen to her? Wrong.”
“Ah, right, right. "Everything she said is right." Uncle Qin glared at them: "Come here and help weigh the pork. Why don't you let me do any work?"
That's right, Qin Dashi, Qin Dayan, Qin Ying, Qin Jie and others rushed over to help.
There are many people, so it will be done quickly.
One piece of pork was skewered with straw strips, placed in a basket, covered with a lid, pressed with stones, and then moved to the yard to freeze.
Go and weigh the white noodles again.
“Three catties per person.”
Plus a pack of caramel.
This is the New Year's gift given to the female workers by the Qin family workshop.
This kind of New Year gift is enough for a whole family to have a full meal of Chinese New Year dumplings.
After finishing his work, Uncle Qin was so tired that he lay on the stove bed in the main hall.
Qin Cunquan saw his 'lying corpse' as soon as he came and asked hurriedly: "Azhuang, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?"
Qin Cunquan has been on a business trip to see Qin in the past few days. The second uncle came to see them once and then again after a business trip... They were so hot that Qin Xiaomi wanted to eat them both.
Second Uncle Qin heard the voice, glanced at him, and said unhappily: "You came back just after finishing your work. You really know how to choose the right time!" "Aquan, please ignore him, he is getting more and more crazy every day." Qin. Grandpa asked again: "Can the official Guan Shuli get used to our family's pig-killing rice?"
Qin Cunquan smiled and said: "He is used to it, and he also talks about our family's blood sausage. It's very fresh and tender, not woody, and doesn't smell fishy."
Grandpa Qin was very happy and said, "Since Secretary Guan likes to eat it, you can give him five kilograms of blood when you go to work tomorrow. If you want to remove the intestines, give him the recipe to remove the fishy smell."
Qin Cunquan said: "Just give me the blood sausage. The official will not accept it."
"Let's do it." Grandpa Qin could only give up and called to several families: "Take back all the pork from each of your families."
"Hey, thank you Uncle Wu!" Several families laughed happily. Picked up the pork and went home.
Qin Cunquan chatted with Uncle Qin forcefully for a quarter of an hour at Qin's house, but Uncle Qin drove him away because he was annoyed.
Qin Cunquan had no choice but to pick up a basket of pork and lead Qin Jingyi home.
……
The next day, the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, Grandpa Qin called Huang Laoer and his son to the guest house, gave them thirty catties of meat and thirty catties of noodles, and asked them to take them back and distribute them to the Huang family.
Huang Laoer's eyes were wet with tears: "Village Chief..."
He had a lot to say, but he choked up for a moment, and finally just said: "The village chief's family is so kind to us. I will bear this in mind and I will take good care of the Huang family and prevent them from bringing shame to the village."
Jiang Dalang next to him said: "It doesn't matter if you don't manage them well, there are laws to discipline them."
Uh this?
Grandpa Qin was quite helpless... Dalang was always a bit cold and fierce when facing outsiders, but when facing Xiaomi, he was still gentle and obedient.
"Yes, we understand." Huang Laoer and his son were a little frightened by Jiang Dalang, and bowed their heads in response.
Grandpa Qin pointed to a separate New Year gift and said with a smile: "These are five pounds of meat and five pounds of noodles, which are given to you and your son alone. Your family has done well this year."
The Huang family has many thorns, and it is not easy for Huang Lao Er and his son to manage. Xiaomi also said that giving the Huang Lao Er family a generous New Year gift alone can warm their hearts and make them more loyal. .
Sure enough, Huang Laoer felt warm in his heart and was so moved that he wanted to cry: "Thank you so much, village chief!"
Grandpa Qin looked at the sky outside and said: "The sky has been gloomy recently. It looks like it's going to snow heavily. You should pay more attention at night recently. Don't sleep too much. Remember to get up and take a look. Once it snows heavily, you have to Leave someone to watch and clear the snow in time to prevent the heavy snow from collapsing the roof and ruining the New Year celebrations.”
Huang Laoer and Huang Gui’s family. After hearing this, he became serious and said seriously: "Don't worry, village chief, we have written it down and we will pay attention to the snowfall."
Grandpa Qin nodded: "Yes. Take the New Year's gifts back and distribute them to each family, too. Let everyone be happy."
"Hey." Huang Laoer and his son happily picked up the new year's gifts and ran to the Huang family gathering place at the head of the village.
……
Dang, Dang, Dang!
As soon as the first quarter of the afternoon arrived, the gong to stop work sounded.
Qin Liupo shouted: "We have stopped working to give New Year's gifts. We have stopped working to give New Year's gifts. Hurry up and line up!"
It's time to give New Year's gifts!
The female workers were very excited, but they remembered the work rules. They first put out the stove fire, filled the soup, sealed the mouth of the altar, and carefully completed the finishing touches before queuing up to receive the New Year gift.
"Work ID No. 1, come in and receive the New Year gift." Mrs. Su shouted.
Female worker No. 1 is Zhang Niuwang’s wife. She immediately entered the main hall, saluted Grandma Qin, and went to receive the New Year’s gift.
"Two kilograms of fat meat, two kilograms of lean meat, three kilograms of white flour, a pack of candies, and twenty taels of wages. Take it." Second Aunt Qin gave them a New Year's gift that looked like her meat. , the pain made her want to cry.
The female workers whispered: "Fat, so much meat?!"
They were afraid that the Qin family would suffer a loss, so they hurriedly shouted: "Qin Wu Po, your family won't suffer a loss, will it?" Instead of cutting the annual gift in half, just give us two pounds of meat and two pounds of noodles!”
