Chapter 75 Building a Workshop

(Rewards will add more updates)

When I got up the next morning, Gu Qing was still lying on the bed. Gu Yu's voice sounded in the yard: "Sister, there are many pheasants in front of our house, seven or eight pheasants. They must have been sent by the wolves again..."

Gu Qing jumped up from the bed and walked to the door of the courtyard. Seven or eight pheasants had their throats bitten and were covered in blood.

She pressed her temples with a headache. How did she feel that these seven or eight pheasants were the supper prepared by the wild wolves for themselves?

She had a hunch that the four wild wolves would come again tonight.

What else can we do? Let's stew the chicken soup first. Four wild wolves, one wolf and one chicken. Send one to the old house for the pregnant second aunt, and leave three to hang under the eaves.

At that time, it was still dark, Zhu Han, Mo Li, Yang Pei and three others went to the town in a carriage under the moonlight. Now only four people, Gu Qing and Dong Rong, were at home. Gu Yu and Gu Nuo went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables to feed the chickens and ducks, and everything at home was taken care of.

Work for Gu Qing and Dong Rong.

The autumn mood is getting stronger and stronger, and the autumn planting in Gujiacun is slowly coming to an end.

After the autumn planting is over, the busiest time of the year is over. The next month or so is about preparing for the winter. In addition to repairing farm tools, we also need to repair the roof, chop more firewood, make backpacks, and store dried vegetables.

Mending winter clothes... In order to make more money, some men will take this time to go to the town to find some hard work, and they can make a little bit.

Gu Qing bought a lot of cloth a few days ago and is now sitting at home busy making winter clothes.

After the needle pricked all five fingers, Gu Qing felt that this female celebrity was really not suitable for her. She still went to Li Zheng's house to find out what Li Zheng's attitude was about planting flowers.

Li Zheng's house was very lively. The children were playing and playing in the yard, each holding a piece of snack in his hand. The daughters were cutting fabrics and mending autumn clothes in the yard.

After the autumn harvest, the grain was sold, and every household became richer, and everyone's eyes were full of joy.

Li Zheng's wife raised her head and said with a smile: "Mrs. Gu, you came just in time. The family is giving out snacks. It's the peach cake from Baiweizhai. Come and try it."

How could Gu Qing fight for snacks with the children? She declined with a smile and said: "Aunt Lizheng, I came here to ask how the village discussed the matter last time."

Li Zheng put down the dry tobacco in his hand and said with some embarrassment: "The people in the village are not rich, but they are not willing to let you take risks. We have discussed it. Madam Gu, if you need manpower to open a workshop, everyone will be happy to do so."

Go help, and when you all have enough money, you can follow Mrs. Gu!"

Li Zheng said it very tactfully. Gu Qing was silent for a while and finally understood the villagers' thoughts. They were all farmers and had never been out of this village in their lives. They lived a life of relying on mountains and water. Now,

It is really difficult to change them to invest and make money.

"Okay, Aunt Li Zheng, I want to buy the hilltop next to my new house from the village. You can come up with a price with the elders of the clan, and I will ask Dong Rong to come over and handle the formalities later."

"Hey!" Li Zheng sighed. Secretly, she hoped that everyone would become rich along with Gu Qing, but when the villagers heard that they were asking for money, they all remained silent, so there was nothing she could do.

Now I can only hope that Mrs. Gu can build a workshop and let the villagers do some work to earn a little money, so that they can live a better life little by little.

The hills in the village are not expensive. Nowadays, when everyone has money, they buy fertile land first.

Basically no one wants a barren mountain like this.

After finalizing the mountain affairs, the workshop matters should also be put on the agenda.

You can buy flower seedlings, bees and sheep from the mall. Nowadays, it is easy to hire people to plant flowers and raise sheep, but Gu Qing is worried about beekeeping.

She really didn't know who could keep bees from all over the country.

Gu Qing called Gu Yu who was feeding chickens over: "Go to the village now and ask who has extra adobe bricks and buy them all."

Gu Yu asked: "Sister, what are we buying adobe for?"

Gu Qing asked: "Is the soap I gave you a few days ago good for use?"

"It's very useful!" Gu Yu nodded vigorously, "I wash my hands, bathe and wash my hair very cleanly. Sister, what are you doing..."

She seemed to have guessed what the eldest sister was going to do.

Gu Qing took out a sand table and drew on it with tree sticks.

"This is our home. I have bought the hilltop on the right side. On the left side is the land that your brother Yang bought. It is a total of three or four acres. I plan to grow some vegetables that are commonly eaten at home. I plan to grow some vegetables on this piece of land.

In the middle of the land, build a soap-making workshop."

She laughed, "Because you have to burn firewood all day long to make this thing, so we will build a greenhouse outside. The greenhouse will be used to grow vegetables that are only available in spring and summer..."

With this greenhouse, you can eat other fresh vegetables in winter.

Of course, this is not the focus. The focus is to build the soap workshop as soon as possible. This is the most critical thing at the moment.

"There are about four soap workshops. This one is used for boiling lard, this one is for filtering plant ash, this one is for blending and stirring, this one is for solidification... Four rooms is still too few."

Gu Qing held her chin and thought, "In the future, various fragrances will be added. It would be best to engrave unique marks on the soap... Then build eight rooms. Rong'er, you can calculate how many adobes are needed, and then tell Yu'er how many adobes are needed.

Go buy it from house to house."

People in the village have the habit of accumulating adobe bricks. If they don't build a house at this time, they won't be able to build adobe bricks again this year, which can be used for their families.

"After buying the adobe, ask which men in the village are free and ask them to come over and help build the house for thirty cents a day." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Find thirty people to come and it's best to complete the house within five or six days.

"

Gu Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart, stood up and went out to do errands.

Gu Qing took out a piece of rough paper and started drawing on it with a brush. This time he drew a mold picture, which is the most common square shape of soap in later generations. It is slightly concave in the middle to facilitate the hand.

Not slippery to hold.

After drawing the model drawings, she started thinking about the logo.

Any modern product will have the manufacturer's unique brand imprint. Since she wants to open a workshop and do big business, she must establish brand awareness.

She wrote four words on the paper: "Gu family of Youshui."

She was very satisfied with the brand name and shouted: "Rong'er, come here."

Dong Rong was counting the adobe bricks for building the workshop. Hearing the owner calling him, he immediately came over.

I saw the four words on the rough paper and silently looked away.

The head of the house is good at everything, but his calligraphy is not good-looking, worse than Gu Nuo... But the head of the house can write so many words after only a few days of school, which is already much better than the people in the village.

Gu Qing was also very helpless. She was used to writing with a hard pen. The brush was soft and it was in traditional Chinese. It was very difficult for her to write.
