The fierce peasant woman is busy farming
Chapter 131 Another Brother
As the emperor's teacher and former prime minister, Master Cui naturally has some temper.
He had long anticipated that the emperor would send someone to look for him, so he took his two apprentices: Xuan Mo and Jun Mo, and left early.
They moved to live in Taoyuan Cave.
Although it is winter, the cave is warm in winter and cool in summer.
In addition, in order to make Ren Pingsheng, who was watching the wine, live more comfortably, Zhou Yue had already built a kang and a fire wall in the cave.
There is plenty of firewood and dry grass in the mountains. All you have to do is stuff a lot of dry grass into the bottom of the stove every morning and close the stove door, and it will burn slowly all day long.
Fill the kang with grass again before going to bed at night, and the kang will still be warm the next morning.
Although there is water at the foot of the mountain, the terrain here is high and not humid.
So it's very comfortable to live in.
Ren Pingsheng had long since become so happy in his hometown that he didn't want to go back to live in the village.
Later, Xu Pingjun also wanted to move to the mountains.
Because she found that when she was making poison, a strange smell came out, and the neighbors around her complained about the smell.
So she proposed to Zhou Yue that they move to the mountains.
So Zhou Yue asked her to find a room she liked in the cave, decorated it a little, and then she moved in to live in the mountains.
Now the Ning family compound was quiet. The children either lived in the mountains or in the county.
There were only the old couple, Chunniang and little Ningye left at home.
Fortunately, whether they are from the mountains or the county, they come back home from time to time to visit and bring some gifts.
Soon the shop in the county opened, thanks to the promotion by the princess and the prince, and the sign on the door written by the emperor himself.
Also, there are only a few stores in this county that sell liquor.
Therefore, the wine business, which Qing Mo and Zhou Yue had not expected much, accounted for the majority of their business.
On the contrary, other cloths and ready-made clothes, as well as some grocery businesses, are not selling well because they are similar to other stores.
At the end of the month, after taking inventory and settling accounts and clearing profits, Zhou Yue and Qing Mo came to know their own strengths and weaknesses.
Therefore, the two of them discussed it and decided to reduce the display space for other commodities and launch alcohol as the main product.
Due to a shortage of manpower, Zhou Yue invited Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Lin from the village.
Mrs. Lin is the neighboring sister-in-law who shared her milk with Brother Dao.
Sun was good at communicating with people, and after Zhou Yue gave her a little training, she happily became a salesperson.
Mrs. Lin was meticulous, so she became a quality inspector.
Although they didn't quite understand the "positions" Zhou Yue had given them, they happily took up their posts after understanding their main responsibilities.
Of course, the main reason is that Qingmo paid them a high salary.
Soon, the wages they earned far exceeded what their men earned in a day of hard work.
There are many aunts and uncles who want to come to work in the store. Zhou Yue never knew that his family had so many relatives.
Most of them were politely declined by Zhou Yue.
Qing Mo was shy and didn't want to refuse, but Zhou Yue didn't care and retorted with just a few words.
Who was it that looked down on Qingmo, a girl, for coming out in public to do business?
Who was it that held on to the little money in his hand and refused to invest in Qingmo?
Who was it that would rather carry the medicinal herbs to the county and sell them at a high price than sell them to Qing Mo?
……
Of course, Sun was one of them.
But Sun also has her advantages.
She is her own family and she made the right choice at the critical moment.
Just based on these two points, those people will be convinced.
Soon the business grew, especially at the end of the year when everyone was busy buying New Year's goods, and wine was indispensable.
The wine brewed by Zhou Yue is clear and sweet. It does not make you drunk or dizzy, but makes you feel warm all over and very comfortable.
As a result, fruit wine was in great demand for a while, and the amount of wine in the Taoyuan Cave was visibly reduced.
Looking at the mostly empty wine jars, Ren Pingsheng and Cui Renjie became anxious and stopped selling any more.
Zhou Yue had no choice but to swear to the heavens and promise to brew good wine for them to drink.
He also said that there was a distilled liquor with even higher purity, which he would brew for them after the New Year when he was not busy.
Only then were they allowed to sell the remaining wine in the store.
I have been traveling between the county and the village many times recently, and I have become thinner and tired.
Zhou Yue specifically asked her mother-in-law Qian to cook beans for it, and only then did it work more actively.
Zhou Yue thought that he must buy a cow in the spring of next year, otherwise the work in the fields would be too tiring when Yuan Mo was not at home.
Even if we have cows, we probably still have to hire people to do the work in the fields.
The store was too busy before the New Year and was short of staff, so Zhou Yue found a few teenage girls from the village.
The villagers are poor and there is no rule of not leaving the main door or the back door.
Girls and their parents would love for them to be able to go out and earn some money to supplement the family income.
Zhou Yue trained them for three days, and then asked Sun to lead them into actual combat.
In the village, Qian's embroidery and garment-making workshops also received a lot of work from the store.
After all, there are more wealthy people in the county. Unlike the rich people in Beijing, who have women doing needlework at home.
The wealthy families in this county naturally could not afford to keep needlework maids, but many families had their own jobs to earn money.
Everyone is busy making money before the New Year, so naturally they don’t have time to make new clothes for themselves.
Wearing new clothes and new shoes during the New Year is a tradition here.
Therefore, Qingmo's clothing shop welcomed its first good business.
Some customers bought sample clothes and shoes from the store, but more people needed clothes tailored to their measurements.
There are two experienced people hired in the store, one is responsible for measuring the customers' bodies and recording the data.
One is responsible for urgent matters, and the other is responsible for making modifications to inappropriate parts.
The rest of the work that was not urgent was taken back to the village, and Qian was responsible for assigning the work.
Then the wages are calculated based on the number of pieces of work each person does and the difficulty of the work.
When it came time to settle their wages, many women received considerable amounts of money.
These actions caused an uproar in the village.
This has brought a big step forward in the status of women in Fenghuangtai Village.
Married women and unmarried girls walked in the village with their heads held high.
Qingmo was busy in the shop that day.
In Zhou Yue's words, Qing Mo is now the general manager and the fire-fighting captain.
Go wherever there is work to do.
She was checking the inventory in the wine shop, thinking of asking her family to send some Taoyao wine and wild wine.
When he looked up, he saw the Second Young Master Zhao, the Prince of Ning's Mansion, standing at the door with a smile on his face.
Qing Mo frowned. This person has been coming too often recently.
She was about to salute when Zhao Shouzhong spoke:
"Boss Ning, I'm here today to be a swan."
Wild geese? Sending letters?
Could it be that it was a letter from my eldest brother and Brother Song?
Qing Mo was delighted and wanted to ask immediately.
Unexpectedly, before she could open her mouth, a green figure rushed out from behind her.
Qing Mo felt his eyes blurred, and then he saw Yang Mo pulling Zhao Shouzhong's sleeve and shouting:
"Brother Shouzhong, have my elder brother and elder brother Song sent me a letter?"
Uh, why is there another brother?
How could I recognize my brother randomly?
