In the twelfth lunar month, the winery stopped working.
Tang Shiyue invited the old clan leader and Chen Lizheng to come over and held a work stoppage meeting for everyone.
After working hard for half a year, everyone was given two jars of wine. They could choose Tangjia Fruit Wine or Fushou Wine. It was up to them to choose, but they were not allowed to sell them.
Then we gave everyone a year-end bonus.
According to their daily performance, attendance rate, etc., the most they received was over 80 taels! The least they received was 40 or 50 taels! Even those who had family matters and could not finish their work until the end of the year received 10 or 20 taels of bonus! This made everyone very happy.
How much work has been done, how much effort has been put in, how many mistakes have been made, all will be clearly "publicly announced" when the bonuses are distributed, with reasons and evidence.
This made those who usually acted cunningly and thought they were smart and no one knew about it all embarrassed.
This also includes Tang's fourth uncle's brother, Tang's third uncle Tang Xingwang. Although he didn't get the least, he was in the bottom three. He was very embarrassed for a while, but in the eyes of others, they thought this was fair enough.
Another thing was announced later. Starting from next year, the winery will implement a last-in-first-out system. There will be an assessment every month. If there is a poor performance, the bottom three will be directly fired, and after firing, they will not be hired again.
Anyway, there are a lot of people from the surrounding villages who are scrambling to come here to work, so the winery has no worries about having no work.
...
...
But at the same time, because this is a winery opened by the Tang family and is located in Jubao Village, the Tang family and the Chen family will have two more work points than people from other villages. In other words, if two people do the same work, the person from other villages will be fired.
This point is actually controversial between Xia Yuhui and Tang Shiyue.
Xia Yuhui insisted that "what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality", but Tang Shiyue did not think so. "What is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality" is only applicable when the status is equal, but now, everyone's psychological expectations are different.
What is a surprise? A surprise is something that exceeds your expectations.
What is disappointment? Disappointment is when you don’t get what you think you deserve.
After the cold noodles and bean curd sheets, people from other villages already believed that people with the surname Tang and Chen would definitely take care of their own family. They were envious but not dissatisfied, so it was better to just put the matter out in the open, which was much better than letting them be suspicious.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Xia Yuhui had to admit that this time, the young lady was right again.
After the meeting was over, Huo Qijing came out and said something.
He wanted to organize people to go hunting wild boars in the mountains. He had mentioned this idea to Tang Shiyue that day.
Jubao Village is surrounded by mountains on three sides, especially the mountain at the back, which has high peaks and dense forests. There are many wild boars, which usually live in the deep mountains. Once it snows and there is nothing to eat, many wild animals will come to the village, sometimes even in broad daylight.
Therefore, when this time came, the villagers did not dare to go up the mountain. Every family prepared torches and gongs and drums to scare away the wild animals. The children in the village were strictly forbidden to run around.
We have already had two snowfalls this year. Although neither was heavy, it has made everyone nervous.
But I've never heard of anyone being able to deal with wild boars in advance.
Someone couldn't help but say, "That wild predator is not easy to deal with. It's so powerful that even ten people can't handle it!"
Huo Qijing said: "I will use the method of hunting and will not let you take any risks."
"What kind of hunting is this?" Someone said, "The wild boars in the mountains come in groups. How can we surround them? This is just courting death!"
"That's right! Just think about the long fangs of that beast. My third uncle was ripped in the stomach by the wild boar. His whole body was pierced through. There was not even a complete corpse. It was a tragic death."
Everyone was talking about it.
The old patriarch waved his hand, and then he asked him gently: "A Jing, are you sure?"
"I'm sure," Huo Qijing explained with rare patience, "I've done this more than once before. I'll lead people to dig trenches, set traps, and lure the wild boars here to kill them. I won't let everyone fight head-on."
Everyone was still skeptical. After all, there were too many tragic precedents in this regard, and no one dared to die easily.
Tang Shiyue stood up and said, "Don't be nervous, A Jing could have ignored this matter. After all, he is very good at martial arts, so he will be fine even if he encounters a wild boar. He heard that wild boars often roam around here in winter, so he wanted to lead everyone to eliminate this hidden danger."
She paused and said, "Ajing has done this before with others. He knows the habits of wild boars and is confident. But nothing is foolproof. We can only minimize the risk, but we cannot guarantee that there is no risk."
"Because we have to go deep into the mountains and dig trenches, we have to take physical strength into consideration. We only need young and strong people. We won't force anyone who doesn't want to go. For those who are willing to go, we will divide the meat according to how many wild boars we hunt."
She paused: "I'll go too."
Huo Qijing had been watching from the side, and saw that the villagers who had been avoiding her at first became eager to try after Tang Shiyue started talking, and then after she said "I'll go too", almost immediately someone said, "Then count me in!"
"Even if Mr. Tang is going, then it must be okay! I'll go too!"
"It's absolutely no problem to follow Madam Fu. I'll go too!"
"I'm going too!"
"Master Tang, I'm from Xiaoyue Village, can I go?"
"I'm from Dayue Village. I'm the head of the Tang family. I want us to have some meat too!"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "People from other villages can also go, but we have to make it clear in advance that I will only go for fun and will not work. But we will share the meat when the time comes. Those who can accept it can go."
Everyone laughed out loud: "You are a blessed lady, how can we ask you to work!"
Tang Shiyue smiled and said, "Okay, we will gather at the village entrance at 5:00 the day after tomorrow. The round trip will take about two or three days. Everyone should bring enough dry food and wear good clothes. Those who have long swords at home should bring them, and those in the village should bring pickaxes and other things. We will prepare the rest."
Everyone laughed and surrounded Tang Shiyue, like the moon surrounded by stars.
No one noticed that Tang Xingwang was standing on the periphery, secretly looking at her, and was extremely angry.
It was obviously her brother's winery, and he was half the boss. It would have been fine if she didn't help him, but she made him work as hard as others! She even made a fuss about him to show off her fair methods! How could he not be angry!
But even if he was angry, he didn't dare to provoke her.
There were so many people that Tang Shiyue really didn't notice him.
After everyone discussed it together, on that day, Han Yi also brought a few people to join in the fun. After counting, there were actually more than 160 people, all young and middle-aged.
Because everyone sincerely felt that Tang Shiyue went there to bless them to have a smooth journey, they were all very polite to her. Someone even suggested getting a slide for her to sit on, but Tang Shiyue refused with a helpless look.
Then everyone started walking up the mountain.
Huo Qijing and Tang Shiyue were in the front, and Han Yi's men were the rear guard. Since not many of them knew how to use bows and arrows, whenever Huo Qijing encountered any wild rabbits or pheasants along the way, he would just throw stones at them with his bare hands and successfully shocked this group of country men.
Regardless of the era, most men admire the strong. Even if they work on the farm every day, they still have a heroic complex in their hearts.
Then someone came over and started talking cautiously.
Huo Qijing has always been a man of few words, but if you really ask him, he will not fail to answer. He said directly that it depends on talent, and secondly, it takes hard training, ten to eight years to lay a solid foundation, and it must start from a young age.
At this point, everyone backed off immediately.
But Huo Qijing also said that after all, they can make a living by living on the mountain. He can teach everyone archery in the future. After teaching the skills, they can practice on their own and hunt wild rabbits at ordinary times.
You can also teach everyone how to set traps, and some emergency skills for when you accidentally encounter large wild animals, so that if something goes wrong, you can catch them and have a chance to survive.
Everyone listened with great anticipation. After all, this was a man of real ability. If it weren’t for Madam Youfu, how would they have had the chance to listen to his teachings!
Tang Shiyue who did nothing: "..."
This is the trouble with having an idol halo that is too big.
