Assassin Farmer

Chapter 141: Silk weaving workshop

The Wangs could not help but jump to the heart when they heard the news of what could be described as a great joy for their family.

“This... but is it true?” Just take care of five acres of new land and get three taels of silver a year and a 10% harvest after the fall harvest. Where can I find such a good thing?

“Now that I'm here to talk to you, it's true.” Su Shuiju nodded with a laugh. Wang family is a well-known cultivated family in Flower Town, and a family of six people, two elders, two adults, younger sons and younger daughters, will all cultivate the land. In addition to their own three acres of good land, it should not be a problem to assist in caring for the newly cultivated five acres of new land in other yards.

“Thank you, ma'am! Thank you, ma'am!” The Lady Wang wiped her eyes uncomfortably. Over the past three years, we have seen other neighbors, with the support of the owners, do small business, the business flourishes, the artisans and woodworkers, the orders are not complete, the family farms, there are also channels for selling. Only their families, who have been living on several acres of land for generations, the vegetables can't sell good prices, so they can abandon their fields to do something else, and they can't really do anything about it. How can you not be happy to see the master come to the door and let them take care of the five acres of new land?

Three silver dollars a year. Alas, there are more than five members of their family. The rest of the food, vegetables and vegetables will be sold in surplus. If well taken care of, the owner will let his/her own contractor take care of him/her year after year, and his/her savings will increase. My youngest son doesn't have to worry about marrying his daughter-in-law.

“It's my job to thank you. I am relieved that there are not so many people in the other courtyard to take care of you.” Su Shuijuan said with a smile. Then he pulled out two taels of silver from his arms, "Not to worry, but there are rules in other yards. These two taels are a deposit. The rest of the harvest, a tael or two and a half, will be given to you after the fall harvest. OK?” She asked Shinzhi to hand over the proposed contract to the village chief $in the morning for him to witness, and the two sides agreed to the contract.

“Done.” The Wangs nodded vigorously. Pushing his own man to the village chief to press his hand stamp. I cautiously took over two taels of white flower silver from Su Shuijuan. Thought the three taels of silver would have to wait until after the fall harvest. Anyone who doesn't know how to start farming should take it first.

“As for taking care of the agricultural tools, fertilizers and other essentials needed for the farmland, you go directly to General Shaw's office to collect them.” Agricultural tools in other courtyards are uniformly housed in the storage room of the newly constructed biased courtyard. If necessary, go to Shaoheng to register and collect them. No self-advancing silver two.

“Okay, okay, okay.” The Wangs nodded vigorously and did not expect that even consumables such as fertilizer would have to be borne by themselves. These three taels of silver are purely their labor costs. Full of gratitude. Knowing that this is what the owner wants to help lined his home.

“Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, if you really can't eat... come straight to me. I can arrange another manpower. Don't be hard.” Before leaving, Su Shuiju couldn't help but remind him. The Wang family was almost forty years old. This time, five acres of new land were added. Fearing that their family was under too much pressure, they were harmed instead.

“Okay. We count. Don't worry, ma'am.” The Lady Wang clapped her breasts and promised. Their three acres of Liangtian are normally handed over to their eldest son. Except for the farm. However, the owners also said that farmers who are busy with their own helpers will not be required to harvest all the food in five acres. There's nothing tiring about this. Usually, her guys are free to go fishing on Xiufeng.

“Well... Madam, if there are other girls in the courtyard, could you let our little Mei try it? She is also thirteen years old this year and can do everything in the house.” I heard from Lao's wife that she was a man and a florist, and she had several taels of silver coming down the year. Then let your little girl go in and make a little girl with tea and pour water. That's the number, right?

“Huh?” Su Shuihui sniffed, wanting to go out on his feet, turned to look at Aunt Wang, and swept aside, pulling the corner of his clothes a little shy Xiaomei.

She never took the initiative to recruit maids to the villagers belonging to "Heyuan". She was afraid that they would say that the owner was cheating on people, but actually let their precious maids and boys go into the government to be maids. Second, the girls whose parents are still alive and close to home are worried, thinking about going home, not taking things seriously, and breaking the rules of the other courtyard. At that time, the punishment shall be neither punishable nor abusive.

Therefore, she only hired long-term helpers in Qingtian Town for the operation of the sauce brewery.

Others in need are orphans or single-parent families recruited through the care hall.

“You want to go too?” Su Shuiqiao asked Xiao Mei with his head down.

“Mmm.” Xiao Mei nodded softly. She had seen a maid working at the owner's house a long time ago, wearing better clothes than she already had. Going out doesn't look like a maid at all. And according to the village chief, there are opportunities to study in the classroom and go to shops in the city. After she heard it, she wanted to try it. Even if you can't be a lumberjack like Big Brother Bao, and be a stable clerk, it's good to have a fixed monthly income.

“But if it's a long-term contract, it'll take at least two years. Are you sure?” Su Shuiju asked with a smile. She didn't mean to be difficult. Just go into the other courtyard to work, first follow Chunlan training for a month, then arrange to various posts according to schedule, quarterly rotation, only a year later based on each person's expertise to determine their final job position.

“Yes.” Xiao Mei pushed her chest up, but the shame on her face betrayed her as a 13-year-old girl. She didn't have the guts.

When Aunt Wang saw Su Shuijuan ask so, she also guessed that it would be possible. She rubbed the apron with a smile. "Madam, what, it's almost noon, we don't have much food at home. If you don't mind, why don't you go back with lunch? ”

“No, Aunt Wang, I have to go to the weaving parlor. Since Xiaomei has a heart, you agree, of course I will be happy to join her. Come to Chunlan tomorrow at dawn, she will take you through the formalities. As for income, in the first year, not much, 200 coppers per month, meals and lodging. If you want to go home, you can. But stay on the day of the shift.” Su Shuijuan roughly described the income of the maids who had just entered the courtyard so that they could count in the family and think about it overnight.

“Ok, ok, Mei go. Rest assured, you will never erase Madame's face.” Once Aunt Wang heard that there were 200 coppers per month, he came down that year to say the least there were two taels. Three meals are also included. Why didn't you think of it earlier?

Su Shuiju saw that they had no intention of retreating. He nodded with a smile towards Xiaomei. After bidding farewell to the Wang family, he boarded the carriage and Shinzhi drove to the silk weaving workshop.

A few days ago, busy with the Dragon Boat banquet, I haven't seen the situation of the silkworm cocoon for a long time. This morning, I went to the city to find the foot of Fengyao Palace, and I had to go to the silk weaving workshop myself. Don't let him come back and say he's not resting well and busy. She can stay at home all day, watch him busy, and she'll be in pain. Can't do the pure, cloud-like single-handedly beam, occasionally visit the industry assembly. Besides, she suggested the silk weaving workshop. Because she also wants the people here to wear silk-woven clothes.

…………

“Madam, what brings you here? Did you have lunch?” The cook and steward of the silk weaving workshop, Lady Luo, just finished lunch, saw Su Shuiqi and Shinzhi get off the carriage and shouted with surprise.

Aunt Luo's voice was heard, and the old weavers and weavers who were preparing to eat were happy to run out of the workshop.

“I didn't come to see you yesterday at Dragon Boat. Have you eaten all the rice balls?” Su Shui chuckled and nodded to several people.

“I ate it, I ate all kinds of flavors, and there were several delicious dishes, and I drank a pot of cinnamon brew, and I ate enough...” said the old weavers, scratching their scalps.

“That's good. There are also a few boxes of snacks, which are branded with Yingyun's wedding cakes and cakes, which you can try separately.” Su Shui Shui Xin Zhi sent several large boxes of wedding cakes from the carriage to everyone.

“Neither the lady nor the girl has eaten yet, right? Mind if we eat together?” Lady Luo accepted the wedding cake and warmly invited it.

“Sure. I just wanted to come and rub a meal. After the meal, I want to see the cocoon. How are things these days?” Su Shuijuan nodded and asked the old weavers, headed with a smile, for an update on the silk weaving workshop.

“All right. The first batch of cocoons are all available. In the last few days, we've been following the method of the previous experiment, softening the impregnation, and it's working very well. Qiluo and Wenhui have begun to soften the first bucket of cocoon, pulling out the meridian and weft wire. Although it has not been woven into materials and dyed, it seems nice just to look at it like this. Once woven into silk, it will definitely thrill the whole bounty.” It should always be explained to the back, the color of the eyes full of anticipation, and people laughed.

“Okay, let's do it right. Pursue the first batch of 'Heyuan' quality flat spinning that could have been launched a year ago.” Su Shuiju couldn't help but laugh a lot. These helpers were confirmed by her personal interview. They all had great interest and aspirations in what she called silk weaving. I believe that in the near future, Dawai will add another fabric - silk - that is an amazing fit and comfort fabric. At present, this relatively simple weave, "Georgiette", is the first silk weave fabric she is currently trying to produce. Of course, as the technique became familiar and sophisticated, she was confident that more silk varieties of weaving methods would emerge from the silk mill. At that time, she will expand the silk weaving workshop to a silk workshop that integrates silk weaving, embroidery, ready-to-wear and more. And positioning is not just a cosy fabric that Gaodong can afford.

Ying Yun and her older sister also said that if they wanted to expand the silk weaving workshop, their "Yue Yun embroidery building” would be the first place to join the store, but rather her deeply loved, physically and mentally integrated home, which she and Yao jointly operated, and a beautiful home that we all built together.
