"Hou Fat, how about helping me tonight?" Shi Yuqiong said with bright eyes, "I went to the warehouse to see that there are piles of potatoes, popcorn, tomatoes and peanuts inside, Brother Qing is not worried at all. Someone else will take it. I'm going to get some fairy brew..."

"Hush!" Hou Fat hurriedly covered Shi Yuqiong's mouth, and said in a low voice, "If you want to die yourself, don't hurt me."

"Hou Fat! Do you think you don't need me here, and don't want to listen to me?" Shi Yuqiong said angrily, "Don't forget my brother, he can crush you to death with a single finger."

A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and Hou Pang said with a straight face: "Shi Yuqiong, I used to be afraid of you, but it's different now. Although my brother-in-law is not a high-ranking official, he is also a serious son of the Du family. Besides..."

He deliberately paused, and Shi Yuqiong was really curious.

"Do you know Brother Qing?" Hou Fat put it off.

"He? Isn't he just a good-looking brother? I don't think he's married. I'm willing to help raise the child after it's born. It's just for food, as long as he can follow me sincerely." When Shi Yuqiong thought of Liu Yaoqing's appearance, his heart suddenly became hot.

He thought he had seen the most beautiful brother in the world, but now he felt that he was not as good as a finger of Qing brother.

"Don't think that way!" Hou Fat said, "Do you know that asking me to work here is just a matter of Brother Qing's words? And asking you to come is also his nod. Do you know Shanggu Village? It's just It's an ordinary small village, but who would dare to go there? Shi Yuqiong, you still don't understand? Brother Qing is not something you can touch, even your elder brother would not dare."

Shi Yuqiong stared wide-eyed, a little dazed.

"Brother Qing got married, and the emperor personally issued an order to reward thousands of treasures."

"Brother Qing, if I say a word, I will have to work hard here like a farmer, but I dare not have any thoughts of resistance."

"The most respected brother in my brother-in-law's family has been a county magistrate in Shangping Town for decades, for... Brother Qing."

"Last time I followed the imperial decree. The most powerful confidant eunuch around the emperor had to laugh with Brother Qing when he saw Brother Qing. He and Brother Zhezi didn't have to kneel. Do you know what this means?"

"So what if your brother is capable? You haven't come here yet."

The people who come and go in the factory are all ordinary farmers, simple and honest men, quick-witted brothers, and some weather-beaten women, and those who are in charge have some ability, but that doesn't show that there is anything special about Liu Yaoqing.

In the past, he was the most favored concubine in his family. He was unable to be an official, so he was a dandy with peace of mind. He never knew that there was another layer of truth behind the rumors outside.

At this time, Shi Yuqiong felt as if a veil was slowly being lifted in front of his eyes, allowing him to see Brother Qing's true face.

That gentle and good-looking brother can decide life and death just by talking and laughing. He is mysterious and unpredictable, even the emperor treats him differently.

"I, did I offend someone I shouldn't have offended?" Shi Yuqiong tremblingly asked.

"Be obedient and work." Hou Fat sighed, if he was not afraid that Shi Yuqiong would get angry with Liu Yaoqing and implicate him, he would not say so much, "Don't tell anyone those things, only the right person Only those who know can know, and those who shouldn’t know will never know, and I’m telling you that it’s already an exception.”

"understood."

The hot weather was driving people crazy, Liu Yaoqing couldn't sleep all night.

Brother Zhezi invited the doctor to have a look, and finally allowed Liu Yaoqing to touch a little ice.

"Quick, brother Zhezi." Liu Yaoqing was in a hurry, "I want to eat tomatoes and strawberries with ice, put more ice. I also want to eat iced noodles, iced porridge, I want to eat iced!"

Cut strawberries and tomatoes into small pieces and add sugar.Brother Zhezi took a spoonful of crushed ice steadily, and said, "Brother Qing, try it first. The doctor said that you can only eat five spoonfuls a day, and now you can eat a little in the afternoon."

Liu Yaoqing thought about it, that's what happened, the water she drank all the time was warm, now she suddenly ate a spoonful of ice, it was already very good.

"By the way, brother Zhezi, what happened to that Shi Yuqiong?" Liu Yaoqing suddenly remembered and asked.

"The work is very solid." Brother Zhezi said.

"That's good. Go out for a walk after eating ice, you can't be bored in the house all day." Liu Yaoqing quickly ate the ice in the bowl, there were two spoonfuls left, called brother Zhezi, and gave him to eat.

After going out the door, the outside world has changed a lot.

Thinking about the desolation when I first came here, there was no grass growing, and there were only wooden houses assembled with wooden boards that everyone brought temporarily. Fortunately, it was not particularly hot at that time.But looking at it now, there are towering walls in the distance, and large houses, dining halls, factories, and newly built tall warehouses nearby.

The factory building is a separate yard, and each door is guarded. Seeing Liu Yaoqing and brother Zhezi approaching, the man guarding the door hurriedly opened the door for help.

"Brother Xuan is more and more dignified now." Liu Yaoqing saw Brother Xuan giving a lecture to his subordinates from a distance, and approached with a smile.

"Since I am in charge of leading you, I have to be responsible to the end." Brother Xuan said with a straight face, "The pancake workshop needs two deputy stewards, and I will promote them according to the situation."

The pancake workshop here is the same as the one on Shanggucun Mountain. They all wear uniform clothes, their hair must be wrapped up so that none of them can be exposed, and they must wear an apron. Although it is very hot, no one thinks it is inappropriate.

Those who can follow Brother Xuan to the pancake workshop are the first to work with him and pass the test. Those who fail the test either stay outside to build houses with Liushuihe, or pay their wages and drive them away.

Liu Yaoqing and Brother Zhezi walked over, Brother Xuan said with a smile: "Brother Qing is here."

"Is everything going well?" Liu Yaoqing asked.

"Very good." Brother Xuan said, "Everyone knows pancakes. The whole grains used now are mixed with potatoes and corn. They taste better and sell better. I have to watch the steamed buns personally. The recipe is not good for people to know." .”

Don’t look at the steamed buns are also steamed with coarse grains, but to be steamed so soft that they only have a sweet taste and no sour taste. There are strict requirements from the introduction to the grain ratio. At present, only the people from Shanggu Village pancake workshop understand. People are just laying hands and don't know the formula.

Liu Yaoqing nodded, Brother Xuan handled it well.

The pancake workshop was a little hot, so Liu Yaoqing came out from another small door without waiting much.There is a very wide road ahead, and on the opposite side is another large yard, which is a very important potato workshop.

The yard is divided into several tall and large houses, and the inside is divided again, with winding corridors and many windows and doors.It was surrounded by hot air inside, it was very hot, Liu Yaoqing didn't go in.

"Brother Qing." Su Si passed by with the ledger, saw Liu Yaoqing was there, and hurried over.

Although Su Si is a small guy, he looks more handsome than ordinary brothers, even a little thinner, but taller.He is the smartest of the seven brothers, he has a good head, and he is usually quiet. Liu Yaoqing often arranges some important tasks for him.

Su Si is in charge of making potato flour, and each step is done by a dedicated person, in an assembly line, and they don't know what the other is doing.

Su Si watched the most important step personally, so he didn't have to worry about the formula for the time being.

"How's the output today?" Liu Yaoqing asked.

"About [-] boxes have been sold so far." Su Si glanced at the ledger and said, "The people who ordered are still queuing up, and we can't satisfy those people's needs."

"Well, it's normal if you can't be satisfied." Liu Yaoqing said, "Pick up the waste and I'll arrange for someone to send it back to Shanggu Village to make chicken feed."

"Success." Su Si nodded hastily.

Making potato flour is not like making potato sticks and potato chips. Some waste will be produced. The waste water is usually thrown away, and the waste is piled up. At this time, a lot has been produced. Liu Yaoqing is thinking about sending it back to Shanggu Village to feed the chickens.

Potato chips can be fried or baked. There are not many steps, but they are also a bit particular.

Potato chips are the most expensive and have to be iced, but they taste special and are very popular.

The finished products are delivered to the warehouse every day, they are all boxes woven from corn husks, and these things are packed and put away, and then recorded and handed over to Gao Fugui and others who have been waiting for a long time to be shipped out, or to the farmers who came with potatoes on their backs them.

"It's hot now, and the people in the potato workshop are suffering." Liu Yaoqing said.

"The wages set for them are also high, and those who don't want to do it will take the initiative to say so." Brother Zhezi said.

But until now, no one has said that they don't want to do it and want to go home.

Walking slowly outside the potato workshop, there is a pergola not far away, which is much larger than the original pergola.

Su Qi was in charge of harvesting potatoes here. He led a group of people to transport the potatoes, and then took the finished products from the warehouse to the farmers who came.

Seeing the familiar little brother talking in the shed with a basket on his back, Liu Yaoqing said: "Brother Yin, put on new clothes!"

The first time I saw Brother Yin, he was still wearing ragged clothes, no pants, no shoes, skinny and skinny, except for his bright eyes, he was a poor little brother who could not be compared to a beggar.

At that moment, he came with twenty catties of potatoes on his back, his back was bent, and he had to gasp for breath when he spoke, but looking at him now, he seemed to be a different person.

Not only was his body clean, but he also changed into brand new clothes, all made of strong and good materials, long clothes and trousers, and a pair of new shoes on his feet. Only the back basket was the same as before.

Brother Yin also looked fatter than before, with sparkling eyes.

"Brother Qing." Brother Yin said happily, "I saved up some money and bought a piece of cloth. My mother and I have new clothes. I also bought meat. Now my family can eat well. I also Prepare to save money and renovate my house."

"Do you have so many potatoes at home?" Liu Yaoqing remembered asking Yin Ge'er the first time he met him. Although he kept a lot of potatoes at home, he carried them here every day these days, so he should be able to recite them almost.

You can't recite all the potatoes for money, you have to keep them for yourself. Potatoes are still much cheaper than other grains.

"I bought potatoes from a further village and carried them back. Although the journey is a bit farther, I can still earn money." Brother Yin said happily, "As long as Brother Qing wants potatoes, I can carry them back."

The nearby villages all knew that Liu Yaoqing wanted potatoes, so they would naturally carry their own ones first.
