Chapter 355

Name:Scholar's Sweetheart Author:Jia Yi
In the twinkling of an eye, on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the wind was cold and the snow was flying.

The workshop closed down yesterday. Except for the dried vermicelli, the rest of the dried vermicelli have been packed and sent to the wharf. In these two months after winter, the workshop worked overtime and stayed up late to make nearly 100000 vermicelli, with nearly 4000 liang of income.

As soon as the Jiang family's manager left, song Xintong and Xie Yi settled the wages of the workshop together, and each of them gave nearly two liang of bonus, which is equivalent to two months' wages. In a disguised form, they were paid double salaries at the end of the year, which is also a reward for working overtime and staying up late at the end of the year. Although she didn't mention the bonus and processing money, uncle he worked very hard.

The workshop has been burning firewood, the whole workshop is hot, uncle he, they are all naked to work, but also keep sweating, we can see how hard they work.

"So much?" Xie Daniu touched the money in his pocket. It was almost three Liang silver, which was twice as much as the original salary. "Are you wrong, Xintong?"

Song Xintong looked at a simple and honest face of Uncle Xie and couldn't help laughing“ Uncle Xie, there's nothing wrong. We've been busy for the past two months. I should give you more bonus. "

"Thank you, Xintong." In addition, Liu San and Cui Tiezhu immediately said thank you in a loud voice, with uncontrollable joy on their faces. They have worked for almost seven or eight months this year, but they have earned more money in the past three or four years. Finally, they can have a good year this year!

"You're welcome. We all deserve it." Song Xintong said with a smile: "I think yesterday Xie Yi has already said that today the workshop will have a holiday."

"Yes, and you're going to treat us to a big meal today?"

"Yes, I asked the cookers in the workshop to prepare good food and good wine for us. We'll have some wine to make it lively." Song Xintong said aloud.

"That's very kind. Thank you, Xintong." He Er Shu says with a loud smile.

"Xintong, can we still work here next year?" Asked another.

"Naturally." Song Xintong nodded. Now there are almost 60 people in the workshop, and 40 people are from the village.

"Xintong, that day the village head said that there were more than 80 households in our village, and he wanted you to replace them." Xie Yi whispered.

Song Xintong pursed her lips. She also knew about it, but these people were familiar with it, and she didn't want to change it.

But half of them can build new houses, while the other half earn some money by selling sweet potatoes, which is still a little worse.

Second uncle he, who was on one side, also heard Xie Yi's words. Some people were immediately worried. If they were replaced, wouldn't their monthly income of nearly one or two silver be gone?

"Xintong, you don't want us?"

"Xintong, you just said that we should come to the new year."

......

Song Xintong frowned and said to Xie Yi, "next year, I'll ask people in the village to help me grow peppers. The more they grow, the better. If they all come here to work, they won't have time to take care of that. Let's talk about it next year. If the workshop is too busy, just invite more people."

He doesn't have the right to decide this, and Xie Yi can't say anything more.

Song Xintong said, "well, our workshop will start again on the 16th of next year. When the time comes, everyone will gather in the workshop. If you don't come, I'll take it as if you don't want to come."

"No, no, it's much better than working outside. We're all here for thunder, rain and flood!"

"Yes, that's it." Song Xintong looked at the dining hall, where dishes and chopsticks had been set up, "you can go to dinner!"

"Oh, oh

"Wow, so much!"

"What a feast! There are chickens, ducks and prawns!"

......

A big lunch has been prepared in the workshop for a long time. All the people who work in the workshop come to have dinner together, but it is not popular to bring family members. Only those who work here can come.

There are not many dishes, just six meat dishes and a big soup, but the special amount is enough.

Stewed pork with vermicelli, fried pork with radish, fried duck with konjac, fried chicken with potato, braised fish with brown sauce, spicy crayfish and mutton soup. The mutton used to make soup is the sheep that Daya picked up from the mountains a few days ago. He took 20 jin of mutton and sheep head bone to cook. There are many mutton offal in it. It tastes delicious.

A total of six tables were set up, and nearly 70 people were squeezed. Apart from the people in the workshop, there were six people in the chicken house. Everyone ate a round stomach.

Song Xintong looked at the drying area behind, there are still a lot of dried vermicelli, almost all hanging up yesterday, half dry by the wind.

This piece of air drying area is about two mu. It's a dense piece. If it's air dried, it's almost hundreds of Jin of vermicelli.

"Master, the big pot beside is not on fire. I'm afraid these vermicelli can't be completely dried until they are exposed to the sun for five or six days. This..." the workers also want to go home in a hurry. The later they go back, the harder it is to walk on the road.

"It's OK. Just go back. We'll be watching over here." Song Xintong turned his head and said to the poplar, "come and have a look every two days. If it's good, put it away."

Poplar nodded: "girl, don't worry, I've written it down."

The worker bowed to song Xintong gratefully, "thank you, master."

"No harm." Song Xintong looked at the workers packing in the workshop. Some of them walked for an afternoon, and he estimated that they would be home in the evening. For a long time, he could only leave early tomorrow morning, walk for a day, find a place to stay for another night, and walk for another day.

Song Xintong asked Yang Shu to drive these people to the county, which can also save some time.

After walking out of the warehouse and into the dining hall, most of the people finished eating. Cui's second daughter-in-law went to song Xintong and said, "master, we're going home with you today. After the new year, we'll be back."

"Good." Song Xintong talked with them a few days ago. Cui Eryi's family received a letter from their hometown Nianzhuan a few days ago, saying that their mother was sick, so they wanted to go back and have a look. But Zhang's said that he would not go back. Although he had a big brother and a second brother in his hometown, he seldom went back home since he was sold out when he was young, except when his parents were still there earlier.

So Zhangjia stayed to take care of the rabbit house. After the snow in winter, they didn't let the rabbit out any more. They just helped to feed and clean. They were still very busy.

However, Zhang Jia still prepared a few feet of cloth and some sugar and other things for Cui's second daughter-in-law to help when she passed by Zhang Jia village.

"Zhang's, if you are too busy to come over, say to Yang Shu, let's find two people to help." Song Xintong and Zhang's three said.

"No boss, we're busy." Zhang's daughter-in-law is also capable. One woman is worth two women. In addition, Xiaocui is very sensible and can do a lot of work.

"That's good." Song Xintong nodded. Now the chicken house and rabbit house have been supplied like restaurants. There are more spicy rabbit heads and spicy cold rabbit heads in the marinated area. Of course, there are hot dishes, diving rabbit heads and spicy rabbit heads. They are very popular.

But also to Lingnan restaurant began to supply, in short, the business is booming!
