After being lectured by his parents until he repeatedly promised to learn the craft well and treat his master like his father, he barely managed to escape from his parents' house.
Chen Laohan had no idea that his actions would cause such a huge uproar in Chen Ming's family.
As a result, all the housework was taken over by Chen Ming's mother, and even the farm work was done by Chen Ming's father, who was even more enthusiastic than him.
As for Little Mouse, there's even less to worry about. Chen Xi takes him everywhere. If anyone bullies Mouse, she can instantly transform into a tigress and fight them off...
With the launch of double-skin milk pudding, Ruyi Pastry Shop has once again created a craze in He County. This is because the pastry is very sweet and soft, and it has been refrigerated in an ice cellar. As the temperature rises, the sales will only get better and better.
There was an ice cellar in the backyard of the pastry shop, something Qin San Niang hadn't expected. This was truly a great help!
She continued working non-stop, not only making dried apricots but also acquiring a lot of other fruits, such as grapes, peaches, and plums, which she then processed into jams.
These jams have a unique flavor and can be added to double-skin milk or made into delicious juices. They are in high demand and short supply, and theaters and teahouses are vying to buy them. As for the price, group purchases naturally get a discounted price.
In order to make the most of the available resources, half a month ago, Qin San Niang had to go to the village head Chen Sheng again, intending to buy a piece of land to build a workshop.
Now, facing Qin San Niang, Chen Sheng felt as if he had met a god of wealth. He never expected this woman to be so capable.
In such a short time, Shiligou has transformed from an ordinary village into the envy of everyone in the surrounding villages. As the village head, he naturally felt proud and could even walk with his back straight.
The village head, Wang, was also very welcoming to Qin Sanniang, treating her like a daughter when she came to visit.
"Oh my, my dear niece, you're a rare guest! Come in and have a bowl of water. Are you looking for my old man?"
"Yes, Auntie. I wonder if Uncle, the village head, is home?" Qin Sanniang asked with a smile.
"Yes, Third Sister, come in quickly." Madam Wang pulled her hand and led her into the house.
Qin San Niang didn't beat around the bush and told her about her plan to set up a workshop and processing plant.
Chen Sheng was so shocked he almost bit his tongue! Wang Shi was quick-witted; this was great news! She'd heard that the Qin family's business was growing bigger and bigger, and they even had a shop in the county! She didn't know if it was rented or bought, but whatever the case, she wondered if building this workshop would be able to get her nephew a job.
With this in mind, Wang became even more enthusiastic.
"Third Sister, what are you planning to do with this workshop? How big is it going to be? It looks like a good business to me, don't you think so, old man?"
Chen Sheng glanced at his wife, thinking to himself, "Do you even need to tell me? Even a fool would know this is definitely a good thing!"
Moreover, it's a great thing that benefits the villagers!
Based on this alone, he could give a detailed account of the matter when he reports to the county government at the end of the year! Heaven knows how frustrated he used to be here.
Currently, eighty households constitute a county, with a li (village head) appointed. Shiligou was originally a large village, with nearly one hundred households being its original inhabitants.
However, in recent years, the population has been scattered, and many families have moved away. Although there are still quite a few households, they are no longer complete!
Whenever he thought of these things, Chen Sheng, the village head, felt extremely tormented, believing that it was all because of his poor performance as village head that the large village of Shiligou had gradually declined.
But now, with the fresh blood of the Qin family, Shiligou is like an old tree that has suddenly sprouted tender buds!
Chen Sheng felt his chest tremble; life was getting better and better.
Finally, following Qin San Niang's wishes, a plot of land was quickly selected to build the workshop. The workshop was only about 100 meters away from her home, for convenience. In addition, their families were located on the edge of the village, and the nearest houses were several hundred meters away, so there were quite a few large tracts of wasteland around them.
Since we're going to build a workshop, it can't be too small.
In addition to making jams and preserves, a large space also needs to be reserved for brewing wine.
Because of the different functions of each workshop, the workshops are relatively independent. Each workshop opens its doors directly to the outside world. Although there are small doors connecting them inside, the keys are kept by their own people.
To put it bluntly, Qin San Niang wanted to take this opportunity to establish a winery, so she built the workshop to be as large as possible.
When it comes to building a house, it's natural to do it without having to ask two different people for help.
Gu Qingshan went to Old Man Wang's house again and asked him to help oversee the construction of the workshop.
Upon hearing this, Old Wang was greatly surprised. "Wow! It hasn't been that long, and business is already booming again!"
Of course, he couldn't help but beam with joy, patting his chest and promising that he would definitely make sure the house was completed.
Old Mrs. Han was overjoyed. Although the success of this deal was partly due to her husband's excellent skills, it was mostly due to the friendship between the Qin family and their mother.
She then instructed her daughters-in-law to prepare a meal. Although it couldn't compare to the Qin family's, it still involved killing chickens and fish, and they were quite busy.
Unable to resist the Wang family's hospitality, Gu Qingshan had no choice but to stay for a meal.
After the meal, we discussed the specific date with Old Man Wang and his son, and then I hurriedly went back.
The next day, Old Man Wang brought his two sons and apprentice to the Qin family. They were all acquaintances, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, he took them to the plot of land where the workshop was to be built.
Looking out, he was surprised to find a large expanse of wasteland. Even Old Man Wang was somewhat astonished, as he had initially thought it was just a small workshop that would be completed in a few days.
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he was overjoyed. "Great! It means high wages!"
Suppressing his astonishment, Old Man Wang asked, "Big Sister, you have another two acres of land, right? Are you planning to build workshops all of them? What are your requirements for the layout?"
"My goodness, what a huge place! Big brother, are you planning to start a big business?" Wang Tieniu was a straightforward person and got along well with his eldest son. The sheer size of the land was too much for him to bear, so he asked.
"Yes, Brother Tie Niu, my mother is planning to do that. It's also because land is cheap in our village, and it's all wasteland, so it won't cost much," Da Wa said modestly.
However, what he said was true; those two acres of land only cost two taels of silver.
Firstly, it was indeed wasteland, unlike the riverside wasteland that the other families had bought before, which at least was suitable for farming. These two acres were all rocky and unsuitable for farming. However, they could be used to build a house! Secondly, naturally, the village head Chen Sheng had his own selfish motives. He hoped that Qin San Niang could hire more villagers to work and make Shiligou prosperous. The price was just a token gesture.
Da Wa was also surprised to learn that the village head had such great power.
