Fourth Uncle Tang coughed and said, "But clan leader, the recipe of our wine is unique in the world and must be kept secret. In addition, the restaurants in town are also very selective and there can be no mistakes. Therefore, we have to be very careful when hiring helpers. We are from the same village and I am afraid it will be difficult to refuse them."
The head of the Tang family understood.
In other words, they do not get this half profit for free, but they have to be responsible for playing the bad guy and blocking others for them when the time comes.
This is not a problem. He doesn't want anything to happen to the winery. Even if he doesn't make any interest, he won't ignore this matter.
The head of the Tang family smiled and responded, "It's my duty. Don't worry."
Qi Jing said, "Patriarch, there is one more thing... Although Ayue's family members are related by blood, they have no affection for each other and are all obsessed with money. Therefore, the interest from Ayue only needs to be known to the Patriarch. Please don't tell anyone else."
The head of the Tang family said, "Yue girl is also our family's benefactor. I know what's wrong with that woman, so don't worry, Ajing."
As he answered, he looked him up and down calmly.
Qi Jing is a foreigner after all, and the prescription is his. What will they do if he leaves in the future?
Therefore, we have to find some guarantees... If he can be settled down and become the son-in-law of the Tang family, then he can be considered to have put down roots. It seems that he is very protective of Tang Shiyue. He is such a reserved person, but he speaks for Tang Shiyue. I'm afraid this is at least 80% true.
...
...
Just for this purpose, we have to find a way to separate the third branch of the Tang family. Otherwise, with those unlucky and troublesome relatives around, who would dare to marry such a young lady?
The head of the Tang family thought about it in his mind, and stood up with a smile: "Let's go to the headman's house."
Of course, the village head would agree to such a good thing.
Although it was not pleasant to be oppressed by the Tang family, apart from the intangible things like prestige and benefits, they could not avoid him as the head of the village. And this was a shining political achievement!
If it is handled well, he will also be able to rise with the tide!
The location of the new winery was already chosen by Fourth Uncle Tang and Qi Jing, and it was not far from Tang Shiyue's stone house.
If you want to do business, it's best to have water. That place has rivers and wells, it's cool, and the place is large, so it's convenient to build factories, warehouses, dig cellars, etc.
This piece of land is actually quite remote for the villagers, so the price is not expensive. After almost negotiating, Qi Jing casually asked, "Is there any vacant land to the east of the clan leader's old house?"
Chen Lizheng glanced at him.
Chen Lizheng had mixed feelings about him. Because of the previous incident with Chen Laizitou, he disliked him very much, but he couldn't do anything about him. Now that he was about to become the key point of his "political achievements", he couldn't afford to offend him.
In this regard, he and the clan leader shared the same stance, and he quickly understood what he meant, so he said, "Of course. Ah Jing wants to buy it?"
"Yes," Qi Jing said, "I want to buy a piece of land and build a house. It's not good to live in a stranger all the time."
The village head asked, "How much do you want?"
Qi Jing said, "About four or five acres."
The village head was a little surprised: "Does it have to be this big?"
"Well," Qi Jing said, "I plan to clear a piece of land in the back so I can run around and practice boxing occasionally."
The head of the village coughed and thought to himself, this mountain is so big that it’s not enough for you to run across, and you need to build a separate place to run?
But anyway, they had paid the money and approved it. However, Qi Jing was a foreigner after all, so it was not convenient for him to buy the land. After some discussion, they decided to temporarily register the land under the name of Fourth Uncle Tang. After completing the formalities at the government office, they would transfer the contract and be done with it.
After agreeing to measure the land tomorrow, the two of them left the headman's house.
…………
In the morning, before Qi Jing arrived at the clan leader's house, he sent Qi Yang over as usual.
Tang Shiyue's porridge had just come out of the pot when she brought over boiled eggs and scallion pancakes, along with a dish of pickles.
The scallion pancakes are spread with soybean oil, which is bright yellow and dotted with green chopped green onions. The pickles are made with chicken oil, which is pickled turnip strips poured with boiling chicken oil. They are slightly curled due to the heat and are appetite-stimulating at first sight.
Tang Shiyue didn't raise chickens or ducks, but she insisted that children should eat eggs every morning, so not only the two little ones, but also Qi Jing and herself were classified as children.
So she had asked Madam Zhou to help buy eggs from the villagers. A few days ago, she met a family raising ducks in Xiaoyue Village and bought a basket of duck eggs from them. The eggs were all caught by the ducks that found fish and shrimps by the pond. The yolks were golden yellow and the eggs were very big.
Tang Shiyue peeled the egg for Xiao Yaoer first, and then for Qi Yang. As soon as she finished peeling, Qi Yang put the egg into her bowl.
Tang Shiyue then said to him: "Duck eggs are very nutritious. Children need to eat duck eggs to be smart and grow taller. If you don't eat them, you may be as short as me in the future. Isn't this very miserable? People will laugh at you..."
Qi Yang listened to her silently, nodded, and took the duck egg.
Qi Jing raised his eyebrows and glanced at his brother.
Qi Yang was never picky about food and would eat everything at home. But when he came to her, he would refuse to eat anything and needed her to coax him. He was really scheming in his fight for her favor.
The key point is that she didn't notice it at all, and she looked so accomplished after coaxing him... She was really stupid.
With no one to help him peel the eggs and no one to comfort him, Qi Xiaolang finished his meal in silence, then got up to look for Fourth Uncle Tang.
Tang Shiyue finished her meal with the two kids, packed up their things, and while the two kids went to study, she took out the scraps of cloth she had asked for from the people in the clothing shop yesterday.
She didn't know how to embroider and thought plain clothes were ugly, so she remembered the popular modern cloth appliqués and decided to decorate them herself.
She was drawing the design with difficulty when she saw Xiao Qi Yang walking out silently with his hands behind his back and standing beside her. Xiao Yao Er was still reciting a book loudly in the room.
Tang Shiyue was happy.
She had long discovered that this child was quite interesting. Every time she was at home, he would let Xiao Yaoer read or write, and he would come out and accompany her like a little teacher.
Tang Shiyue smiled and said to him, "I'll buy some more paper later, and you can write the words bigger and stick them on the wall. I'll go in and learn from them when I have nothing to do."
Qi Yang nodded.
Tang Shiyue said: "But you are not allowed to be so harsh to me."
The child thought about it and said: "If you don't teach strictly, you won't become a good person."
"Nonsense," Tang Shiyue said, "Do you understand the principle of teaching students in accordance with their aptitude? When you teach A-Yao, you must be strict, because she is stupid. But when you teach me, you must encourage me. Even if I learn a little bit, or learn nothing at all, you must tell me, 'Sister, you are amazing!' Then I will be willing to learn. If you can add an expression of surprise and admiration, the effect will be even better."
Qi Yang thought for a long time, looked at her, swallowed back what he was about to say, and nodded with difficulty.
Tang Shiyue continued to tease him: "Then try saying it once."
Qi Yang said seriously: "Sister is so amazing."
"No!" Tang Shiyue said, "Your tone is not like that! You have to express your surprise."
He tried to raise his voice: "Sister is so awesome!"
Tang Shiyue couldn't stop laughing in her heart, and continued to tease him: "Okay, just add an expression of surprise and admiration! Come, little Ayang, give me, no, give me a surprise, open your eyes wide, "
She stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of his mouth open: "Open your mouth wide and say~"
The child was forced to open his mouth wide, and looked at her helplessly with his big eyes: "Sister, you are so awesome!"
Tang Shiyue burst out laughing and hugged him until she couldn't stop laughing.
The key point is that the two brothers look really alike. Qi Jing is more skilled at facial paralysis, but that is a habit and cultivation based on not showing emotions. His heart is not as calm as his appearance.
Xiao Qi Yang had an expressionless face and even his eyes were dull. He was really not interested in many things, so she would tease him whenever she had free time.
