Chapter 296: Renovation of the Freezer
Hearing her say this, Captain Luo was immediately discouraged. He could arrange staff in Tianxianglou, but he couldn't open a food shop.
Because this is the people's source of income, if he interferes, it is likely to arouse public anger.
Seeing Captain Luo's disappointment, Song Liyun didn't hesitate and said directly, "Captain, the food market in town is about to be expanded. If the guards have extra staff, they can go and work.
Besides, my carton factory needs a lot of manpower."
Song Liyun was not lying. Now the couple at Tianxianglou had prepared the ingredients and started selling spicy beef jerky and five-spice beef jerky, and they were in urgent need of paper boxes and paper bags.
There are also soft napkins.
In addition, Acorn Vermicelli also needs to be packaged in cartons, and Wanjia Leather and Luggage Shop also needs a large number of cartons and fillers inside the cartons and bags. The carton factory is now working at full capacity, but the supply cannot meet the demand.
She had long wanted to expand the paper mill, and now Captain Luo was simply throwing his head at her.
Hearing that he could get rid of the idlers, Captain Luo nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, okay, as long as I can get some money and not have to idle away all day, it's fine."
The main problem that military households need to deal with is a group of bored wives.
Compared to grinding acorns into powder, these family members drying paper and origami boxes are easier and more convenient.
Although the Acorn Food Shop failed to be established, Captain Luo happily returned to the garrison after he had solved the problem of making money.
He quickly wrote an official letter and sent it to the Qili County Government, requesting the county to conscript civilian workers to perform labor service.
Because Song Liyun said that she wanted to build a cold storage and expand the carton factory downstream of the Huangsha River.
But to get rich, you have to build roads first, and the official road from the provincial capital is not enough.
In addition to having the soldiers of the garrison repair the path along the Huangsha River, the official road leading out of Suijin Town needs to be widened.
In a word, she needs a lot of migrant workers.
On the same day, Jiang Feng received an official letter from Suijin Guard Station and immediately assigned a number of laborers to each village.
Yang Hua only stayed in Baolinju for one day and left after Song Zhenping finished his bone correction.
They are going to get married in a month, and she needs to prepare her dowry, so it would not be good for her to stay in the Song family.
Xiao An is now sensible. He not only takes care of Song Zhenping, but also helps take care of the vegetable garden in the backyard and his rabbit house.
Now there is a ground heating system in the backyard, and we need to check the temperature at all times.
Lin Tao's wife not only came to Baolinju to take care of the vegetable garden herself, but also brought a group of young wives and girls from military families. After finishing their farm work, they went to the cardboard factory to pick up cardboard and paste paper boxes every day.
Families with boys went to Acorn Food Store, where everyone had something to do.
Song Liyun didn't have even a single day free. She and Uncle Han found the foreman of the shop construction company and talked about building a freezer.
Now the rough-hewn buildings of the ten shops have been repaired, and the workers are doing the fine work on doors, windows, floors, walls, etc.
Song Liyun wanted to renovate three of the rooms immediately, digging underground and thickening the walls to create raised walls.
She plans to fill the middle of the wall with loess to provide insulation.
The foreman felt dizzy after hearing this!
Most people would at most dig a cellar to store vegetables. A large house like Baolinju, which could dig out a two-story cellar with an ice room, was already the best in Suijin Town.
Now, if it was built according to Song Liyun's requirements, it would be a cellar that he had never heard of.
The foreman had no objections as he was paid for his work. After looking at the blueprint of the vaulted ice room drawn by Song Liyun, he immediately hired someone to tear down the walls and rebuild the bricks.
The walls are one meter thick, with starch slurry filling on both sides and rammed earth in the middle. There are no windows on the walls, only a small door in each ice room.
According to Song Liyun's plan, she needs to build five ice cellars, each one ten meters in size.
Except for Han Ming, no one knew what Xiulai was doing.
One-meter-thick wall, five ten-meter walls, this is really too much work.
In Suijin Town, Song Liyun was like a general commanding thousands of troops, arranging and mediating everything in an orderly manner.
She had just sat down to enjoy her tea when Zhou Xiang came to Baolinju to talk about something.
It has been three days since Song Laoer left Qili County, and Song Liyun has not been to Qili County again.
Song Zhenping had just had surgery on her leg and was in unbearable pain, so she needed to stay at home.
In addition, she needs to supervise the construction of the freezer and start working immediately. The best time to get ice is in the twelfth lunar month every year, but the ice room has not been repaired yet.
When Zhou Xiang came to the town, he first went to the shopkeeper Mu who was in charge of external sales to pick up various paper products, and then he found Song Liyun to talk about the Tianxianglou business.
Zhou Xiang said, "Huang Changsheng brought a letter saying they also want to sell skewers and buy mutton from Tianxianglou. We will decide the price. They also want to know when you will be going to the county town."
Song Liyun snorted coldly: "No matter what price he offers, I won't sell you a pound of mutton. No matter when I go to Tianxianglou, I will never see them."
These people really have a good plan.
As winter approaches and the weather gradually gets colder, the kebab business in the county is booming, and the sales of all the kebab shops that have joined Tianxianglou are increasing.
Some people from the capital also came to negotiate, hoping to sell Tianxianglou's barbecue skewers ingredients to them, including beef jerky.
Of course Song Liyun agreed to this. She needed to quickly promote the reputation of Tianxianglou barbecue ingredients and beef jerky of various flavors.
Mutton soup is also served on the tables of most restaurants and hotels in Qili County, including Jinxilou and Zuichunlou.
Young Master Lin had already returned to the provincial capital yesterday, so Chen Leyan and Huang Changsheng went to Tianxianglou, not only wanting to buy mutton, but also wanting to join the barbecue skewers franchise.
Are they mentally ill? Song Liyun scoffed in her heart: Why would she care about the money for a few pounds of mutton? What she wanted was Jinxilou and Zuichunlou.
It’s too late to curry favor now. Ever since Young Master Lin intervened in the Song family’s affairs, Shen Leyan and Huang Changsheng had no choice.
Since Young Master Lin has invested half of the shares, let’s demolish the two buildings.
In addition to business matters, Zhou Xiang also mentioned Xiao Gu and Song Xiaobao who were abandoned by Song Lao Er.
"The day after Song Lao Er left, Song Lizheng followed Captain Jiang and the others. Dekui is still staying in the inn. He said he doesn't want to go back to Songfeng County... Miss Song, please persuade him when you are free!" He said it vaguely.
Song Liyun was stunned: "Uncle Kui hasn't left yet?"
She had been busy these past two days and really hadn't thought about Song Dekui.
Zhou Xiang said, "Dekui wants to join the military household. I've been trying to persuade him these past two days to stop being angry. Even if there are other options, he can't sacrifice the future of his children and grandchildren."
Although he was a military household, he never regretted it. However, there were many restrictions on military households, so it would be best if he could not change his nationality.
Of course, he and Song Liyun are both military households, so some things are hard to say too clearly. The Song family voluntarily changed their nationality.
As they were talking about Song Dekui, they heard Xiao An running in from the gate: "Second sister, Uncle Kui is here!"
Behind him was Song Dekui, who looked like a thin bamboo pole.
He had been feeling depressed these past few days, unable to eat or sleep well. He was already as thin as a knife, but now he was even more out of shape, with his face looking like a nose and eyes.
As soon as he saw Song Liyun, he started yelling, "Xiaoyun, your second aunt... Bah, bah, bah, that woman from the Gu family took the child and left!"
Song Liyun was surprised. It was normal for Xiao Gu to leave with Song Xiaobao. She didn't want to keep her.
Zhou Xiang frowned and said, "Didn't he leave with Song Lizheng a long time ago?"
