Today is a big day. Today is the real beginning of picking grapes. Yesterday, mother Qin and several servant girls had cleaned all the pots and disinfected them completely.
There are only grapes to pick. The younger winter snow is looking forward to picking grapes. After all, she smelled the aroma of grapes in the air a few days ago, which is very attractive.
Mei Qiduo got up early this morning. After all, today is a big day. As the owner, Mei Qiduo naturally wants to be present.
"Master, we can pick our grapes today." Xia LAN tone is full of pleasure asked.
"Well, you can all go down and pick it then." Mei Qiduo said faintly that Xia LAN, as the most stable one among the four servant girls, actually asked like this. It seems that this is an interesting thing for them.
Xia LAN heard Mei Qiduo say, "OK." Then he put a very convenient hairpin on Mei Qiduo, which looked very light“ What do you think of this, master? "
"Well, good. Let's go." Mei Qiduo doesn't have any aesthetic idea about the ancient bun. Every time she sees Mei Xiaolan's complicated bun, she feels numb on her scalp.
When Mei Qiduo came out, she saw that many village names had gathered in her yard. Mei Qiduo had already told Xue Wan that anyone who was willing to come to pick grapes could come here, ten Wen a Jin.
Today, it's beyond Mei Qiduo's imagination to see so many people. It seems that Xue Wan's publicity work is still in place, just half a day“
"Master, do you think these people are enough?" After all, the vineyard is 120 mu! The workload is still very large, and I don't know whether these people are enough.
"Well, enough. We still have some people. It seems that we can pick all the grapes in two days." Mei Qiduo said faintly, now that the grapes are picked earlier, it means that the wine will be brewed earlier, and he can go to the capital earlier.
"Uncle Xue, please go and record their names. It will be convenient to settle the payment at that time."
"Yes."
Then Xue Wan took the paper and pen to record one by one, and went to everyone and said.
"Good morning, everyone. Do you know what you're here for today?"
"Don't you mean picking grapes?"
"Yes! We came as soon as we heard it
"So are we."
Everyone in Liushu village knows that Mei Qiduo has made a fortune now. She has not only opened a sausage workshop, but also a winery in the town. Isn't she here today just to pick grapes? Although people don't know the relationship between wine making and grapes, the salary of Mei qiduokai is very attractive. After all, one Jin is ten Wen, and one hundred jin is ten liang of silver. As long as you pick grapes at Mei's house, you don't have to worry about one year's expenses.
In particular, some of the women in the family work in the sausage workshop. Sometimes they earn more money every month than the old men. This time, they heard that the Mei family was going to pick grapes, but they all rushed over without breakfast, for fear that they would be deserted when it was too late.
When Xue Wan heard the following people say this, he put on a kind smile at the corner of his mouth, and then said: "yes, it's picking grapes. One kilo of grapes is ten Wen. If you pick more, you'll make more money at that time. But don't quarrel about it. If someone quarrels at that time, we can't use it any more. After all, being kind makes money! You say, "No."
The following people all laughed when they heard Xue wan say this. Although their relationship is still good, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts over the silver. At this time, Xue Wan said this to give them a good shot in advance.
Mei Qiduo heard Xue wan say so and nodded. After all, it's money again, but she can't say what feelings are in it.
Watching Xue Wan take the name of the village up the mountain, Mei Qiduo is not idle, teaching the maid and mother at home.
"Auntie Li, there are still some of you. When steward Xue delivers the grapes, he will clean them carefully, preferably two or three times. Make sure the grapes are clean and you can't see anything dirty. "
"Yes." Aunt Li said very seriously.
"You are auntie Li. After washing the grapes, she put them in the fish, filtered the water and carried them to mother Qin."
"All right, master."
"Finally, mother Qin, and mother, you may have to work hard." Mei Qiduo even called Mei Xiaolan together this time. We can see the importance of this matter. After all, since the development of Mei's family, Mei Xiaolan's work frequency is very few. Usually, Mei Xiaolan is willing to do it himself, and the people around him can't persuade him to do it.
Mei Xiaolan is very happy, because Mei Qiduo would not ask her to do anything before. Mei Xiaolan sometimes feels very incompetent, but this time Mei Qiduo actually let him do something, Mei Xiaolan is very happy, after all, such things are not common.
"You girl, what's the trouble?" After all, the more hard days have come like this. It's just wine making. What's the hard work.
"Yes, the owner can rest assured that it will be done properly."
"Yes, yes."
Mei Qiduo heard them say so, and a very light but happy smile came up at the corners of her mouth and said, "OK, after the wine is brewed, I'll add silver to you."
"Thank you, boss." When they heard Mei Qiduo say this, they immediately saluted Mei Qiduo.
"Then you prepare first. I'll go to the mountain to see some uncle Xue. I'll come when the grapes come down." Meiqiduo said, after all, today is the first time to pick grapes. She naturally wants to go up and have a look. "Do you want to follow me to have a look?"
Naturally, I asked four servant girls.
"Master, I want to go." When Dongxue heard Mei Qiduo say this, she immediately said, after all, she had long wanted to go to the vineyard to have a look. Usually, because of the strict management of mother Qin, Dongxue kept the ceremony all the time. Now that the owner said this, mother Qin would not say anything.
Mother Qin is helpless when she sees Dongxue saying this. Dongxue is the youngest of these maids, and she is the laziest when she studies etiquette. Now when her master is really busy, she can add trouble to her master. Just about to say something, I heard Mei Qiduo say so.
"Well, let's go. When the grapes come down, we should work hard."
"I know. My boss can rest assured." Dongxue's tone is full of excitement, and her eyes are also shining.
When mammy Qin heard Mei Qiduo say this, she was very helpless in her heart. If she had such an owner who didn't accept etiquette, could she expect to have a servant girl who kept etiquette? However, mother Qin's heart was bright. It was because there was such an unruly owner that they felt the warmth of their home. It was hard to find such an owner with lanterns.
"Let's go. You guys go together, mom. Are you going?" Mei Qiduo looked at Mei Xiaolan and said, with a twinkle in her eyes.
Finally, Mei Xiaolan or Mei did not go to the mountain to pick grapes, said what need to avoid suspicion, heard Mei Qiduo a burst of black line, with winter snow, Xia LAN two people went to the mountain, until Mei Qiduo arrived on the mountain, saw Xue Wan in the commander should how to pick grapes.
Before, Mei Qiduo had asked Xue wan to buy a lot of scissors. If the scissors were not enough, he could go to his own home to get them. At that time, the salary would be a little more, which could be regarded as the cost of renting their scissors. On the contrary, many people went back to get the scissors, and some people were afraid that there would be no place where the grapes were growing well, so they didn't go back to get them.
Xue Wan saw Mei Qiduo's figure with sharp eyes, and ran to Mei Qiduo's side. After a ceremony, he said, "master, you're here."
Mei Qiduo was very satisfied when she saw this and said, "well, I'll come and have a look."
"Does the owner think this arrangement is OK?" Xue Wan asked respectfully.
Mei Qiduo looked at it lightly, and then said, "well, I'll do it according to Uncle Xue. There's only one rule. It's forbidden to quarrel in the vineyard. If you let me know, it's not such a simple thing as not paying wages." These grapes cost her a lot of money. At this time, it's time to harvest. If her grapes suffer any damage because of their dispute, she won't give up.
Xue Wan heard Mei Qiduo say this, and quickly said: "this is natural. I have already told them before. Naturally, I won't let my boss Cao worry."
"Well." Mei Qiduo nodded, then looked at the back of the winter snow and xialan asked: "do you two want to pick grapes?"
Dongxue and xialan saw that there were people in the vineyard. They didn't want to pick grapes. At this time, they really didn't dare to say they wanted to pick grapes. Especially, there were people in the vineyard, and most of them were men. They were women. At that time, it was always bad for their reputation.
"Master, the maidservants are not going." Winter snow Yan Yan said, eyes are also with a look of disappointment.
Mei Qiduo heard a little smile, and did not say anything, just told Xue Wan how to deal with the grapes picked, and the grapes picked must be carried to the bottom of the mountain in time. After all, mother Qin and she are ready to make wine.
"OK, don't worry. I will send the grapes down then." Xue WANYING said.
"This fresh grape is the best for wine making. Don't make it too long." Plum seven light way“ There is also an hour to rest a wave, long-term workers can also go in to pick grapes, the price is the same, more work, more pay
At this time, the weather is still slightly cool. When the sun comes out, the weather will start to get hot. And now it is the hottest time. Naturally, they need to have a good rest. It's hard to say that they will suffer from heatstroke.
"Yes."
"And there's no work at noon." Meiqiduo continued.
Xue Wan heard Mei Qiduo say this, and his expression was slightly stunned. Then he thought that noon was really the hottest time, so it was not suitable for work.
