Chapter 150 Dong Feixia Wants to Open a Clothing Workshop
Gao Mingcheng returned to the place where the beehives were. Before he got close, Black Tiger and Elf came to greet him barking. When the two dogs saw that Gao Mingcheng returned safely, they were extremely excited and circled around Gao Mingcheng.
They even wanted to cling to him. Gao Mingcheng felt the hounds' loyalty and love for him, and was happy. He rubbed the heads of Black Tiger and Elf and said, "It's getting late, let's get to work first!"
This place has been discovered by the black bear, and he has temporarily spared the black bear's life, so it would be best to move the beehive to another place.
So Gao Mingcheng had to carry the beehives to find a suitable place, and then place the beehives one by one in the new place.
I hope that black bear won’t come and cause trouble again, otherwise I’ll arrange to steam the bear paws immediately!
After finishing all these, Gao Mingcheng picked up the honey extractor and took the two dogs down the mountain. When they got home, it was already noon. Xuanyimei was cooking in the kitchen, stewing wild boar head bones in a large iron pot.
Yesterday, Xuanyuemei cleaned up the wild boar's head and feet at home, but she didn't have time to stew them, so she cooked them today.
As instructed by Gao Mingcheng, Xuanyue also sent some of the remaining wild boar meat and internal organs to several families. Her second sister's family also sent a pound of meat and half a pound of pork liver.
Pork liver is good for replenishing blood, and her second sister is pregnant and needs to eat something to replenish blood.
Speaking of which, Gao Mingcheng's sister-in-law is about to give birth, but few people go to the hospital to give birth at this time. They all give birth at home. Some people will call a midwife, while some people may ask their elderly elders to help with the delivery, such as the mother-in-law, mother, etc.
At this time, women have to work in the fields and even more so at home. Even pregnant women are like this. Many pregnant women work in the fields in the morning and give birth to their babies in the afternoon. After lying in bed for a day or two, they have to do laundry, cooking, and breastfeeding.
There were even people who gave birth to their children directly in the fields. In Gaojia Village, there was a girl named Gao Tian, because she was born in a field.
"Mingcheng, you're back? The food will take a while." Xuanyuemei walked out of the kitchen and looked at the honey extractor in Gao Mingcheng's hand.
Gao Mingcheng put the honey extractor on the ground, and then took out the shaft inside. Some honey was hanging on the iron frame above, but this was a necessary waste because honey was sticky and would definitely stick to the honey extractor.
After the shaft with the iron frame was taken out, what was left was a wooden barrel. The honey obtained before was collected in the barrel, and there was some residue at the bottom.
"How many beehives does this honey come from?" Many bees asked with interest.
So Gao Mingcheng briefly told her about it, but didn't mention the encounter with the black bear. Xuanyuemei was young and a woman, so he didn't want to scare her.
The two talked for a while, and Xuanyue returned to the kitchen to continue preparing lunch. Gao Mingcheng went into the house to get bottles to fill the honey.
He had two kinds of bottles, one holding one kilogram and the other holding two kilograms. After filling them all, Gao Mingcheng realized that he had obtained a total of 35 kilograms of honey this time. Adding the honey stuck to the barrel and the residue, the total was 36 kilograms.
To be honest, this output is quite good. Italian bees are very active in collecting honey and produce more honey than Chinese bees. However, during the previous winter, the number of bee colonies was relatively small. Only now that the weather has warmed up, the number of bee colonies has started to increase.
The amount of honey produced is related to the number of bee colonies and the amount of nectar sources.
This is the multi-flower honey that Gao Mingcheng grew himself. He decided to keep two bottles for himself, leave some for Xi Nainai and Gao Guobing, and sell the rest for money.
He made a lot of money at the pharmaceutical trade fair last year, but he hasn't made much since then, and has been spending money. He hasn't had any large income for a long time.
But this amount of honey is still a little less. If all twenty boxes of honey could be shaken out, it would be a great harvest.
"Ming Cheng, it's time to eat!" Many beautiful voices came from the kitchen. There were two dishes today. One was the meat torn from the pig's skull, stir-fried with chili peppers and wild onions and seasoned, and the other was tofu cooked in pork bone soup.
I didn't make tofu at home. This was given to Xuanyuemei by someone. The last time Xuanyuemei made tofu, we couldn't finish it, so we gave some to people we knew.
It is said to be a gift, but in fact it is just an exchange of favors.
At the dinner table, Gao Mingcheng mentioned that his sister was learning tailoring. He asked Xuanyuemei to ask Aunt Dong yesterday, but he had no time to ask about it since then.
Xuanyuemei said, "I talked to the master, and he said he was willing to accept her, but he didn't want to charge tuition. He just wanted Shufang to help him with work for three years after she learned the skills. She would get paid for doing the work, but it wasn't much."
"Ming Cheng, the master is planning to set up a clothing workshop! Didn't you say before that you wanted me to sell clothes in the county? The master said that we can make clothes and sell them ourselves!"
At this point, many beautiful eyes lit up and seemed very moved.
Gao Mingcheng has many aesthetic tailors. Firstly, it is a skill. Secondly, it is also useful for selling clothes later. For example, if the trouser legs of clothes are too long, they need to be altered. If you can do it yourself, it will be much more convenient. You can also cut the clothes yourself and sell them.
Gao Mingcheng had thought about opening a garment workshop, but he had not yet mentioned it because there were not many tailors nearby and it was not convenient to recruit people in the county.
"It's okay to open a garment workshop, but isn't it a little short of manpower? Aunt Dong, do you want to work alone or in partnership with someone?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Manyu Mei pursed her lips and smiled, saying, "Master said he wanted to partner with me."
Xuanyimei herself does not have much capital, and since Aunt Dong said that she was in partnership with her, she was also indirectly in partnership with Gao Mingcheng.
"This is a good thing. As long as you want to do it, I will support you." Gao Mingcheng gave his affirmation, which immediately caused many beauties to smile widely.
At first, Gao Mingcheng said that he wanted Xuanyuemei to go to the county to sell clothes and catch up with the business boom, but Xuanyuemei was a little scared in her heart. After all, she had rarely been to the county, let alone done much business.
But now that Aunt Dong said she wanted to open a garment workshop and become a partner with her, she was no longer so afraid.
Sticking together can keep you warm.
After dinner, Gao Mingcheng decided to have a personal talk with Dong Feixia to find out what Dong Feixia thought about opening a garment workshop.
There hasn't been much work on the farm recently, so when Gao Mingcheng went there, Gao Shouwang and his wife were both at home.
"Uncle, aunt." Gao Mingcheng greeted with a smile and walked into the yard.
"Mingcheng is here, come and sit down." When Gao Shouwang saw Gao Mingcheng, he enthusiastically pulled Gao Mingcheng to sit down as if he were his own son.
After asking hello, Gao Mingcheng went straight to the point and talked about the garment workshop.
Gao Shouwang and Dong Feixia looked at each other, and Dong Feixia said, "I plan to open a clothing workshop with Duomei. I will be responsible for teaching apprentices to make clothes, and Duomei will be responsible for selling clothes in the county. What do you think?"
