A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

"Leave it all to me?" Aunt Ma looked in disbelief.

"Yes, I'll give it to you."

Chen Changsheng knows that the power of a person is limited, but the power of a team is unlimited.

Selling ground vegetables was her first business in this era. In the future, there will be a tofu business, and there will even be other businesses. She will definitely be too busy by herself.

Just like the cooking school she attended in her previous life, there was a student who went out to start a restaurant after graduation. Based on the principle of saving labor and cost, one person was the boss, chef, waiter, cashier, and cleaner.

Yes, there is only one graduate student in the whole restaurant who succeeded in starting a business but failed.

If you want to make your business bigger and stronger, you must learn to let go, subcontract the business, and choose a good manager. The boss can save a lot of worry.

Chen Changsheng knew that Aunt Ma was a reliable person from the last time the man from her family made fifty lottery tickets for her overnight. This time, the other party not only strictly controlled the vegetables collected from the land, but even took the initiative to help her wash the vegetables, which once again made her believe in the honesty and trustworthiness of the other party.

Of course we can’t miss such a good talent and such a good employee.

Chen Changsheng said carefully, "Auntie, please continue to help me pick up the vegetables. It will still cost you one penny per catty. If you have time, you can also pick the iron eggs and winter plums. If you wash the ten kilograms of vegetables, you will pay an additional five cents." Whether it’s someone else’s house washing, or my aunt’s house washing it myself, we’ll pay this price.”

She had just calculated that fifty pounds of ground vegetables had been washed, and the cost she had collected was seventy-five cents. The cost of cooking, side dishes, and seasonings was within five hundred cents.

The daily income is one tael of silver plus 750 wen. After excluding the cost, there is a profit of more than one tael of silver.

Aunt Ma opened her eyes wide and couldn't believe her ears, "Clean it and pay for it?"

Sister-in-law Chen also gave me money to wash the dishes. Maybe she was too worried about the money.

Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "You will also be paid for washing vegetables, but the prerequisite is that the vegetables are washed clean enough to be fried directly. Do you understand?"

"Okay, since you trust me, sister-in-law, I will leave this job to you, and I promise to do it well for you!" Aunt Ma patted her chest to reassure Chen Changsheng.

While the two were talking, a loud voice came from outside the courtyard.

"The eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family is back. You asked me to find a job as a carpenter. I've found a carpenter from our village, your neighbor Ma Daqiang."

Chen Lizheng saw the four children of the eldest son of the Chen family going to the fields. Then he realized that Chen Changsheng had returned home, and he led Ma Daqiang to the Chen family immediately.

"Da Mei, why are you here?" Ma Daqiang looked at his woman.

Aunt Ma just said she would talk about it later and went home, not to delay the important events in Li Zheng.

Chen Changsheng first went to the stove and poured two bowls of water out. "Uncle Li Zheng, Brother Ma, you two sit down and drink some water first. I'll go in and get the drawings."

Chen Li was looking at the courtyard of the Chen family's main house, and he felt that it was different from before.

A chicken coop was built in the yard, where dozens of chickens, two hens and two ducks were raised. Eggplants and winter melons were planted in the five-minute vegetable patch in the front yard.

The firewood in the corner is neatly stacked, and the water tank is filled with water.

It looks very lifelike.

It was completely different from when the gambling man from the Chen family was around.

Chen Changsheng took out the drawings and found a stool to sit on, "Uncle Li Zheng, Brother Ma, take a look."

She opened the drawing, and the craftsmanship of the keel waterwheel was clearly described on the paper, including how many boards there were, the size of each board, and where holes needed to be drilled to install mortise and tenon joints. They were all recorded in detail.

Chen Changsheng pointed to the drawings and introduced the working principle of the keel waterwheel in detail. After a while, even Chen Lizheng, a layman, understood everything.

Ma Daqiang has been doing carpentry work for many years. When he saw this drawing, he immediately understood it and couldn't help but ask, "Sister-in-law of the Chen family, did you draw this drawing?"

This drawing does not look like it was drawn by an outsider, but rather like it was drawn by a master with many years of carpentry experience.

Chen Changsheng was afraid of being exposed, so he found an excuse, "Yes, but not entirely. I saw this waterwheel in the city before, and then told a carpenter in the city my thoughts, and the master combined After his many years of experience helped me transform it, he helped me paint it.”

Ma Daqiang nodded, "The quality of this painting is obvious from the hands of a master, and it is true."

Chen Lizheng was worried that he couldn't make the keel waterwheel. Seeing Ma Daqiang's reaction just now, he probably can, "How about it? With these drawings, Daqiang should be able to make it, right?"

"No problem, I'll take care of this water tanker. After I finished work yesterday, I went to the mountains to cut down a few trees. There should be enough wood. I'll start working on it now. I have all the tools at home, and I guess I can do it in the next two days. It can be done." Ma Daqiang was full of confidence.

"It's just...it's just that the fifteen-step canal I'm responsible for hasn't been dug yet, and there's still six steps left."

Chen Lizheng patted Ma Daqiang on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry about this. You can just build the keel waterwheel. Uncle, I have arranged for other people in the village to work on the unfinished canal. For five cents a day, there are many people who want to do it." Woolen cloth."

With Chen Lizheng's words, Ma Daqiang immediately felt at ease, "Uncle Chen, I'll go back and start working." After saying that, he took the drawings and stood up and returned to his home.

Li Zheng and Chen Changsheng were left.

Li Zheng said, "The matter of the keel waterwheel has been solved. What's left is the reservoir. I wonder how to build the reservoir?"

Since the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family also brought up the issue of digging ditches, Chen Lizheng unconsciously wanted to ask the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family for her opinion whenever anything happened.

Chen Changsheng said, "The construction method of the reservoir is quite simple, it just requires some red bricks."

"Buy red bricks? That will cost a lot of money. Before I came here, I also calculated the public accounts of the village. I have money, but it may not be enough. And to spend the money from the public accounts, I have to hold a village meeting. I'm worried about everyone. I won't agree." Chen Lizheng said slowly while taking a drag of the dry cigarette in his hand.

Yes, bricks are not cheap after all.

"Then let's make the red bricks ourselves!"

"Make bricks by yourself?" Chen Lizheng looked shocked.

Making bricks is not an ordinary craft. It is a unique skill of each family. It will never be easily passed on to others. How can they have this skill?

Chen Changsheng is confident. In her previous life, she loved watching wilderness survival videos on a certain music channel. Among them was a Vietnamese guy who built bricks, made cement, built houses, and dug paddy fields and fish ponds with his bare hands. The main focus was on one person. A production team.

"Uncle Li Zheng, I have asked a few old craftsmen in the city these days, and I know a little bit about it. How about I test it today, and if it succeeds, we will start making it."

If she succeeds, Li Zheng will be better able to mobilize the villagers.

"Okay, let's do it this way, then you'll have to work hard!" Chen Lizheng knocked on the dry tobacco bag in his hand, "In this way, in order to make your test go smoothly, I will arrange for two people to take over the task of digging ditches at your house starting tomorrow. Let's get Dafu and Erlu back. We still need people to do the work at home.

Your two children are diligent and have dug a lot in the past two days, and there is not much left to do. "

Chen Changsheng was worried about digging ditches, but unexpectedly Li Zheng helped her solve it.
