Chapter 366 Building a Workshop

When I came back from the market, Niu Niu followed her closely and cried when I mentioned sending her home.

Yingbao had no choice but to take her home.

After that, he washed her hair and face, changed her clothes, and threw her on the kang.

Then he wrote a word for her to recognize and taught her to count on her fingers.

Niuniu is very smart and will learn it in a short time.

At night, Niu Niu still refused to go home and hid under the quilt and refused to come out.

Yingbao had no choice but to compromise because she was worried that the little baby would wet the bed.

Unexpectedly, Niuniu slept until the next morning, climbed down from the kang and went to relieve herself outside, which was very worry-free.

Just like that, Niu Niu became Ying Bao’s little tail, following him wherever he went.

On this day, Ying Bao took her and Wen Shu to stroll in the market.

It's a market today. The market is very lively and sells everything.

Like pheasants, hares, cuckoos, bamboo lady, white mushrooms, etc.

Niuniu pointed at an old turtle selling eels, crabs and shouted: "Auntie, little turtle!"

Yingbao stretched out his head and saw that there were indeed several small golden turtles in the wooden basin in front of this man.

“What kind of turtle is this?” Yingbao asked curiously.

“Money turtle.” The unshaven man replied.

“How to sell?”

Yingbao saw that the little turtles were very beautiful, so she wanted to buy a few and put them in the pond to keep.

Hanzi: "Twenty Wen for the small one, fifty Wen for the big one."

Yingbao didn’t bargain and bought all four little turtles.

Niu Niu was very happy and touched the turtle's back with her little hands. She couldn't put it down and kept shouting: "Niu Niu wants to play with the turtle."

Ying Bao gave her a slightly larger one: "You can hold this one first. Don't poke it in the head, as it will bite."

“Hmm!” Niu Niu put the little turtle into her pocket.

“Yingbao, what did you buy?” someone asked from behind.

Ying Bao turned around and saw that it was Wei Zhan’s biological mother, Mrs. Wang.

"Mrs. Wang." Ying Bao saluted Mrs. Wang, and Wen Shu followed suit.

Mrs. Wang took her hand and said: "You and Wen Shu are both here, so go to my house for a meal today. You haven't been to my new house yet, right? I built a yard in the West Village and just finished it. ”

“Okay.” Yingbao really wanted to visit Mrs. Wang.

So, Ying Bao and Wen Shu took Niu Niu to visit Mrs. Wang’s house.

To this end, she went home and brought some fruits, and Wen Shu also brought two boxes of cakes.

It turns out that since Wei Zhan brought his mother here, Mrs. Wang bought a piece of land in Xichen Village at a high price and hired hundreds of villagers to build a house for her.

As long as the money is available, the bricks, tiles, stone and wood will be shipped very quickly.

In just one month, two courtyards with about ten houses were built.

The house is fully furnished and the floor is paved with blue bricks.

It’s just that some furniture is being made and it will take some time to complete.

Mrs. Wang and a group of servants have moved in and the kitchen is on fire.

But Wei Zhan has been hanging out with Hu Zi these days and is not very willing to go home. Mrs. Wang asked her maid Ding Xiang to go to the market to buy fresh vegetables, mutton, pork, fish and shrimp, and gave them to the cook to prepare the table.

She took the two little girls and sat in the pavilion outside the yard, chatting with them: "I heard Qilang say that this place is very good, and I thought he was talking nonsense. But I didn't expect it to be like a paradise. I didn't want to leave."

The people here are simple and honest, and the villagers are gentle and polite. In addition, the scenery is beautiful and the mountains and mountains are outstanding. It is really a good place for self-cultivation.

Yingbao took a sip of almond tea, nodded and said, "It's very good here. My master has not left since he came."

Not only did Master Zhou not leave, he also thought about building an Impermanence Taoist temple here. However, the clan leader and elders agreed, and said that the whole village should jointly contribute funds and build a merit arch at the entrance of the village.

Early this morning, Master took Senior Brother outside to select a location.

Mrs. Wang took a sip of the almond tea, smiled, and asked: "I see your family also has a textile workshop, why don't you continue it? This is an excellent business. If you do it well, you can make a lot of people rich." ”

Yingbao blinked: "But my family's cotton is limited, and everyone in the village has their own spinning wheel. Their cotton is basically kept for their own use. Moreover, if I keep running the workshop, my mother will not be able to do it alone."

"Why don't you hire someone to help? With your father's status as a village masa, there must be a lot of talents coming to help you." Mrs. Wang said.

Yingbao really never thought about hiring anyone, because he can earn a lot of money every year and doesn't want to worry about such a thing at all.

As for A-niang, she doesn’t know how to hire anyone. She would rather do it herself than hire someone to do things at home.

Mrs. Wang also saw that Yingbao and her family did not know how to do business, and said: "I know that your family is afraid that the textile workshop will affect Jiang Jie's career. If not, if you believe me, our two families will jointly fund and run the workshop." , the profit will be 50/50, and I will send someone to manage it at that time. You only need to provide a workshop address, how about it?”

Yingbao thought for a while: "I'll go back and talk to my parents."

The address provided by the family indicates that the workshop is a fixed asset of the family, which seems good.

In addition, you can make money without having to worry about your mother-in-law or your family. Who wouldn’t want to?

But you should be cautious when investing, and Yingbao would be better off discussing it with her parents.

After dinner at Mrs. Wang’s house, Ying Bao led Niuniu and Wen Shu to say goodbye and go home.

I told my parents about Mrs. Wang's words, "Mrs. Wang wants to open a textile workshop in partnership with our family. Our family will choose the location of the workshop. She will send people to manage it. We don't have to worry about the purchase of cotton and the sales of cloth. Dad, Mom, you guys What do you think?"

Jiang Sanlang frowned and thought for a while, then nodded: "If her family sincerely cooperates, it's not impossible."

“I think Mrs. Wang is sincere, because Wei Zhan still has to go to school here.” Ying Bao was full of confidence.

Mrs. Wang has such a son, how can she tarnish her son's face?

Moreover, she, the Wei family, is not short of money, so there is no need to trick a poor girl from the countryside.

Chunniang was relieved to see that she didn’t have to worry about running the business herself.

Sigh, she really doesn’t like dealing with so many people. She has to mediate the quarrels and fights among the weavers every day, which is really tiring.

"In this case, I will go to see which place is suitable for building a workshop tomorrow." Jiang Sanlang decided to build the workshop farther away from home. Otherwise, he would encounter one or two pretentious people every time, and his wife would have a fight if she saw it. In fact, Annoying.

So Jiang Sanlang’s family cooperated with Mrs. Wang to circle a piece of land on one side of the market outside the village and asked people to build a workshop.

The money for building the house was provided by the Jiang family, but the style of the house was decided by Mrs. Wang.

Her family also has a textile workshop, and she knows exactly what to build.

The warehouse, the workshop room that houses dozens of looms, the Weaver's rest room, the kitchen well, the stables, and the rooms where the overseer and guards live are all available.

This project is a bit big, costing Jiang Sanlang several hundred taels of silver.

Until the twelfth lunar month, the textile workshop was finally completed.

The loom was moved into the workshop, the purchased cotton was also sent to the warehouse, and the outside of the workshop was crowded with weavers who came to apply for jobs.

Mrs. Wang sent her most capable subordinate, Wang Wuniang, to deal with the problem.

Wang Wuniang is Mrs. Wang's dowry girl. She has been helping her master manage the weaver girl. This time Mrs. Wang specially invited her here to manage this workshop.

Mrs. Wang also brought Yingbao to Wang Wuniang and asked her to teach her more.

Managing a large workshop is no less than managing a large family, and there are a lot of intrigues and intrigues in it. Mrs. Wang also intends to let Ying Bao learn more.

As the saying goes, three women make one play, but there are more than three women here, and there are countless plays performed every day.
