Chapter 43 Buy an ox cart and build a workshop!
Because of the new cooperation with the restaurant, the Qin family and the Gu family became busy for the next month.
Qin Zhizhi discussed with her grandfather and grandmother and decided to stop delivering fish to the restaurant and let her grandfather's family do it.
Catching and delivering fish requires two laborers from the Qin family, and Qin Zhizhi feels that it is too time-consuming.
The uncle and his son were very grateful. The uncle's son was Qin Yue, Qin Zhizhi's cousin. He was an honest and down-to-earth man who could endure hardships.
After learning from Qin Jiang for a few days, Qin Yue gradually got the hang of it and started catching fish with his brother Qin Feng every day.
Qin Yue was mainly responsible for catching fish, Qin Feng was mainly responsible for delivering the fish to the restaurant. Qin Zhizhi personally took Qin Feng to the restaurant to meet Manager Wang.
The ox cart used by the Qin family originally belonged to the uncle's family. Now the uncle's family has to deliver fish to the county town every day, so it is naturally not as convenient for the Qin family and the Gu family as before.
Moreover, Qin Shan and Qin He had to go to various villages to collect peanuts, so Qin Zhizhi decided to buy an ox cart.
After telling his grandfather about his idea, Old Man Qin was very supportive. The ox cart can be used to transport goods during normal times and can also be used for work during busy farming seasons.
Qin Zhizhi didn't know how to buy a cow, so she asked her grandfather to do this. Old man Qin was very excited about this and took his eldest and second brothers to the county town.
The three old men went to the cattle market and waited for three days before they bought a satisfactory cow. Qin Zhizhi had to admire their perseverance.
Having an ox cart was indeed much more convenient, and Old Man Qin now had an extra job, which was to help his granddaughter take care of the oxen.
The spicy peanuts that Manager Wang delivered to the capital were well-received by diners. After returning, he asked Qin Zhizhi to order another batch.
Qin Zhizhi calculated the delivery time and realized that it would be impossible to complete the task with the current staff.
Qin Zhizhi decided to change the current model. She asked her uncle and father to collect peanuts at five cents per pound for peeled peanuts and four cents per pound for unpeeled peanuts.
Country people don’t have anything important to do in their daily lives, and shelling peanuts is not a hard job, so many people are willing to shell them before selling them.
In this way, Qin Zhizhi reduced the labor of peeling peanuts, and Zhao and Yao were arranged by Qin Zhizhi to make spicy peanuts together.
Because the need was urgent, the idle people in the eldest and second uncle's families also came to help, and Qin Zhizhi was paid the same wages as Zhao.
After more than half a month of rush work, the batch of spicy peanuts shipped to the capital was finally completed.
Qin Zhizhi had a good sleep, but she felt too tired, so she decided to set up a small workshop.
Qin Zhizhi discussed this matter with her family. Old Man Qin felt that this was a good thing for the development of Qinjia Village and asked his granddaughter to find the village head.
When Qin Chuan heard about this good thing, he fully supported it. Since there was no land to build a workshop, the village provided it and he would supervise and find someone to build the house.
Good things should be kept within the family, so the people who built the houses were recruited from the village. Qin Zhizhi paid high wages, and everyone was very motivated.
Half a month later, the workshop was completed.
The workshop was built according to Qin Zhizhi's drawings. After it was built, Qin Zhizhi had some framework built.
Then the most important thing was to recruit workers. In addition to Zhao and Mrs. Yao, Qin Zhizhi asked Zhao to help find a few women who were good at working.
Everyone helped build the workshop and earned wages, and now family members can go to the workshop to work long-term. The villagers are very grateful.
The person who was not selected was a little disappointed, but Qin Zhizhi promised them that they would be given priority for future work.
Qin Zhizhi built a school for the village, and the villagers were already grateful. When they heard that she would recruit workers in the future, everyone was full of expectations.
After gathering all the people, Qin Zhizhi made uniform work clothes for everyone and put forward hygiene requirements.
Working in the workshop pays 600 wen per month, with five days off per month, and everyone can take turns to rest.
Because what she was making was food, Qin Zhizhi asked her mother-in-law to help her make an ancient version of a mask.
Aunt Li has a cheerful personality, so Qin Zhizhi decided to let her help manage the workshop.
Li readily agreed and decided to help her niece manage the business.
Li is mainly responsible for the most important technology.
With Li's help, Gu's mother and Qin Zhizhi were freed up and had time to do their own things.
Qin Zhizhi's mother Zhang and third aunt Wang were assigned to make peanut candy crisps and sell them at the academy every few days.
Everything started to get back on track. Qin Zhizhi was so busy recently that she forgot about her third aunt.
Before going to bed at night, Qin Zhizhi called Wanwan out.
"Didn't they say that after taking the pregnancy pills, Aunt San would have good news in a month? It's been almost two months, why is there still no response?"
Qin Zhizhi felt like she was being retaliated for, but Wanwan was furious.
"Master, how can you doubt Wanwan? Even though you were single before, you still have some basic common sense. Even if your Third Aunt is pregnant, she wouldn't react so quickly."
"Don't call me a single dog. I have a husband now, a husband with eight-pack abs. Do you have one? And you're still laughing at me!"
Before she traveled through the book, Qin Zhizhi was afraid of being urged to get married. Now that she is married, she is still looked down upon by Wanwan. Qin Zhizhi is not convinced.
"Then the master can't doubt Wanwan." Wanwan felt very aggrieved.
Qin Zhizhi felt a little sorry when she heard Wanwan's aggrieved voice, and said softly.
"Then I'll take Aunt San to see a doctor tomorrow?"
"Of course I have to go. Maybe the child is already in your third aunt's belly." Wanwan believed in the things exchanged in the universal shop.
"Okay, you wake me up early tomorrow. I want to go sell peanut candy with Aunt San and mother."
Qin Zhizhi felt that what Wanwan said made sense and decided to take her third aunt to the clinic tomorrow.
"I know, I know. I'll set an alarm for you. You don't want to go sell peanut candy, you want to go see your husband, right?"
Wanwan can set an alarm clock for his owner, it is the most considerate little helper.
"If you are envious, find a handsome husband too!" With the hope, Qin Zhizhi fell asleep peacefully.
But early the next morning, Qin Zhizhi regretted it. The alarm clock was ringing right next to her ears and she was woken up by the fright.
Qin Zhizhi was woken up and called out Wanwan the first thing she did.
"Turn off the alarm clock quickly, are you trying to get rid of me?"
Wanwan had already sensed his master's anger and quickly turned off the alarm clock.
"Master, the time is up. If you don't get up now, your mother and your third aunt will be waiting for you."
Qin Zhizhi thought of her mother and Third Aunt, accepted her fate, quickly washed up, and walked towards the Qin family.
I already made an agreement with my mother-in-law yesterday to go back to my parents' home for breakfast today.
When Qin Zhizhi arrived at the Qin family, everyone was waiting for her to have breakfast.
Mrs. Qin knew that her granddaughter was coming home for dinner this morning, so she prepared a rich breakfast, all of which were Qin Zhizhi's favorites.
After breakfast, Qin He sent them to the county town. Although the ox cart was bumpy, Qin Zhizhi still fell asleep.
Zhang felt sorry for her daughter, so she let her daughter lean on her and covered her with the clothes she brought from home that morning.
For fear of disturbing her daughter's sweet dream, Zhang didn't dare to move along the way. By the time they arrived at the county town, her arms were numb.
