Xia Yuhui has settled in Jubao Village since then.
Tang Shiyue handed over all the accounts of Yuefang, Tangjia Liquor and Fushou Liquor to him without hesitation. This was very easy for Xia Yuhui, and he got the hang of it quickly.
After getting acquainted, Tang Shiyue took him to the winery for a tour and said, "This is the gentleman I invited, he is very good, and I can ask him if I have any questions in the future."
Chen Changyuan did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he was very respectful and carefully asked if he could ask him for advice in the future. Xia Yuhui agreed with a smile.
After coming out, Tang Shiyue said to him: "Mr. Xia, I think this person is okay. You can take a look at him. If he is useful, you can teach him everything the winery needs. In the future, we don't have to worry about things here."
Xia Yuhui couldn't help but hold his forehead.
This was the nth time that Tang Shiyue had taught him how to be lazy.
He didn't know whether he should be thankful for his master's kindness or protest against his master's underestimation of his abilities.
But from what she said, she didn't seem to plan to stay in Jubao Village for long. Training people who can stand on their own is paving the way for leaving. She seemed to have known her future very clearly.
Xia Yuhui said: "I haven't asked you yet, what do you want to do in the future?"
...
...
Tang Shiyue said: "Even if I can't do whatever I want, at least I am free and don't have to bow to anyone or be bullied by anyone, whether it's an official, a businessman, a gangster, etc."
She answered without thinking, and in a nonchalant tone. Xia Yuhui was stunned for a moment before he realized that she had actually answered. After thinking about the meaning of the words, he didn't know how to comment for a moment.
Tang Shiyue glanced at him and said, "Accumulating wealth, building reputation, the wine shop, Yuefang, and some other shop in the future... they are all just means, bridges, and they all lead to this goal in the end. So, do you understand what I mean?"
Xia Yuhui was stared at by her clear eyes, and he actually felt a kind of fear in front of a high-ranking person, and said anxiously: "I understand."
"Yeah." She nodded.
Just then, a child ran over and said, "Master Tang! There are a few people looking for you, waiting at your door."
Tang Shiyue responded, nodded to him, and left.
Looking at her back, Xia Yuhui was a little dazed.
He didn't know how to describe this little girl for a moment. "Completely following her heart" sounded a bit weird, but she didn't have any intention of climbing up the social ladder, nor did she have any ambitions to rise to the top. She seemed to be simply... trying to create the life she wanted?
Fortunately, he understood what she meant. At least she did not intend to accumulate wealth, so he had a clear idea in his mind when weighing various things in the future.
Tang Shiyue returned to the stone house and saw several people standing there from a distance. They all turned their heads when they heard the voice.
An old man with a vigorous spirit came forward and bowed: "Are you the owner of Yuefang?"
Tang Shiyue said: "Exactly, who is the father-in-law?"
The old man said, "I am Huang Shoumin. I heard that Yuefang is seeking a spinning wheel that can spin wool for a large sum of money?"
Tang Shiyue nodded, and he pointed to something a person behind him was carrying: "I made one, would you like to try it, young lady?"
Tang Shiyue was cheered up and immediately took them to Yuefang. The cart was wrapped in cloth, taken apart and placed on the ground. It was actually stepped on!
You know, the current hemp spinning wheels are still hand-cranked! This is not an improvement but a creation, which is really great!
Tang Shiyue didn't know how to spin yarn, so she called Qiao Sangyu over and tried spinning with wool. The yarn they spun was thin and even, and obviously fluffier than the one they rubbed.
Tang Shiyue thought it was fun and went up to try it out. She felt that the technical requirements were not high and even a novice like her could use it.
This saves a lot of effort.
Moreover, what made her particularly satisfied was that although this tool was an experimental product, it was polished smooth and delicate everywhere. Not only the visible places, but also the places that would not be noticed at a glance were very regular, which satisfied her obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Mr. Huang stood there with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly. When he saw her coming down, he said, "Is it possible?"
Tang Shiyue asked: "Can you make this line a little thicker?"
"Yes," said Mr. Huang, "both the thickness and thickness can be adjusted."
She added, "I will make cashmere later, which is softer and finer than this. Can I use this spinning wheel then?"
"Softer and thinner," Mr. Huang looked up and thought for a while, "It should be possible."
Tang Shiyue decided, "Okay, make me a slightly rough one first, and I'll take a look. If it's good, you can stay and make it for me according to that standard..." She thought for a moment and said, "Make a hundred."
She paused and said, "How much do you think is a suitable salary?"
Mr. Huang said carefully, "It was mentioned in the document that whoever could build a wool spinning wheel would receive a reward of 200 taels of silver."
"Oh, of course." Tang Shiyue said: "I can give it to you now. What I'm asking about is the salary in the future."
Mr. Huang didn't expect her to be so quick, and his expression immediately relaxed. He said, "If you have that, you don't need the rest of the wages."
"That won't work. Let's put things in perspective." Tang Shiyue thought for a moment and said, "For the remaining 100, I'll pay you 200 coins for each. I'll pay for the materials and labor, and you all help me make them well. If you do a good job, I'll have many more things for you to make!"
When Gusu Sheng was still here, she wanted to employ a group of craftsmen.
It's not just the improvements on Yuefang's cleaning and drying machines, but also some new agricultural tools, such as treadle plows, deep tillage plows, tillage racks, ridge shovels, ridge knives, insect combs... there are so many to count!
The wisdom of thousands of years is infinite. There is always something to do if you want to do it. At least you come here once, and you can make the country stronger for hundreds of years earlier. Then there will be nothing else to do in the future!
It's an insult to the people who invented these things in later generations.
Mr. Huang brought five apprentices. Making one hundred spinning wheels was a big job. Fortunately, she had a manager now, so Xia Yuhui, who didn't even know the roads, began to work hard to find a place for them. She also had to go to the town to buy materials, exchange passes, check identities, and ask questions... It can be said that her life was very fulfilling.
Tang Shiyue went back home humming a song and knitting a sweater.
She had finally finished knitting socks and hats for several people, but a few days ago, she made a fuss while eating and gave away several more sweaters...The one she is knitting now is for little Qi Yang.
Xiao Qi Yang's birthday is coming soon, and she has to give him a gift anyway, so she plans to give him this sweater.
She knitted for them a kind of sweater similar to a long vest, with a round collar, a pullover, no sleeves, and the top reaching below the hips. It was worn between the undergarments and the outer cotton robe. It was light and warm, and not too bulky.
It was named woolen short robe.
Yes, although this is considered a long robe in modern times, in ancient times it was a short robe.
She plans to wait until the cashmere arrives and then knit some more, but then she can only wear it next year.
Then Qi Jing brought people to build a kang for her. After that, Tang Shiyue felt it and immediately asked them to build kangs for Xu's house, the martial arts hall, and Yuefang as well. Many people in Yuefang who originally wanted to weave at home also came back. The whole workshop was warm, with tea, water, and meals provided, and everyone could talk and laugh. It was much more comfortable than being at home.
Tang Shiyue was diligent for a rare time. She carried a small round flower basket and wandered around the martial arts hall, Yuefang, and the stone house. She would arrive at another place before she was completely frozen. Finally, she finished knitting the sweater the day before Qi Yang's birthday.
Then on his birthday, Tang Shiyue sent people to the town early in the morning to buy a lot of food, and gave it to Mrs. Ye and the cooks to prepare.
The martial arts hall and the Xu family both had a day off. It was a rare sunny day, and Qi Yang didn't mind the cold. She wore the sweater she knitted and walked back and forth in the martial arts hall.
Qi Yang has fair skin, so Tang Shiyue chose bright red, and twisted it into a knot at short intervals, which looks very beautiful.
Qi Xiaolang looked at her for a long time with his hands behind his back, and asked her without turning his head: "The first sweater in the world?"
