Chapter 195 A Ji visits the Qin family
Zhang couldn’t believe it and was completely stunned.
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she shouted: "You are going to let the girl from the Mo family come to work in our workshop? She is a member of the Mo family. If we recruit her, Old Mo's family will not take the opportunity to get involved!"
Mo Qinzi hurriedly said: "Our family has rented a house and will move tomorrow. We will no longer live with my uncle's family. My parents have seen clearly the face of my uncle's family and will not be soft-hearted again. Don't worry, Aunt Gu. .”
Mrs. Zhang came back to her senses, grabbed Mrs. Chen's sleeve and said, "Brothers and sisters of the Gu family, don't worry, our family will never interact with my uncle's family again. You, please don't let Sister Qin work in the workshop."
Ms. Chen pulled back her sleeves and gave Ms. Zhang a disgusted look: "Tch, we'll believe it if you tell us. You are all from the Mo family, from the same clan, how can you really distance yourself from each other?"
She was either unwilling to let Mo Qinzi come to work in the workshop, or she was angry that Mo Qinzi talked back to her and felt unhappy, so she wanted to embarrass Mo Qinzi.
Chen's unhappiness was clearly visible on her face, and Gu Jinli could see through it at a glance, but what Chen said was quite reasonable.
"Let's do this. Let's add a clause to the contract. If Mr. Mo's family comes to pester our workshop because of you, if you pester us once, you will deduct a month's wages. If you pester twice, we will expel you from the workshop." Gu Jinli said to Mo Qinzi: "You go back. Think about it, if you are willing, come to the workshop tomorrow morning to sign the contract, if not, forget it."
"You are willing, you don't have to think about it at all." Mo Qinzi hated Mr. Mo's family to death and wished to cut off all contact with them. How could he give up the opportunity to work in the workshop because of them.
"Okay, you go back first and come back tomorrow." Gu Jinli said.
"Hey, thank you so much, Miss Gu, I'll be here early tomorrow morning." Mo Qinzi was almost crazy with joy, Mrs. Zhang's eyes were even redder, and she was almost in tears. Mother and daughter took the return gift from Mrs. Chen, Went home happily.
Mrs. Chen was very upset. She raised her eyelids and glared at Gu Jinli and said, "Xiaoyu, there are so many people in the village, why do you want to use Mo's girl? She is so cruel. She dares to talk back to me before she even enters the workshop to work. When she really After entering the workshop, why can't you be so arrogant?"
"Mr. Mo has always looked down on Mo Kuizi's family. If we recruit Mo Qinzi to work in our workshop, Mr. Mo will be furious when he hears the news." Gu Jinli's words immediately made Mrs. Chen smile.
"Hey, aunt said you were smart, so that's what you had in mind. It's a good idea. It's best to make Old Mo Mo angry to death so that he can never do anything wrong again." Mrs. Chen was relieved, and Le Dian He returned to the workshop hall and continued directing He Yang and the others to work.
When it was getting dark, Mrs. He Yang and the others stopped working, and Mrs. Yan weighed the spices for them.
“Sister-in-law Dazhuang ground two kilograms and two ounces of cinnamon.”
He Yang is strong and very capable at work. The cinnamon is difficult to grind, but she managed to grind out two kilograms and two ounces in most of the day.
“Sister-in-law Tugou ground two pounds of Amomum villosum.”
“Auntie Yang grinds a pound and a half of cloves.”
“Daisui girl ground two and a half kilograms of fragrant leaves.”
He Daosui is the younger sister of He Shengzi. She is only eight years old this year, but she is a quick worker. She spent most of the day grinding two and a half kilograms of fragrant leaves.
Gu Jinan was responsible for counting them. After each person's kilograms of spices were recorded, she was asked to put her fingerprints on the book to confirm that she had ground the spices herself. If something happened in the future, this would be evidence.
After working for a quarter of an hour, Gu Jinan finished registering the kilograms of spices they had ground.
Fourteen people spent most of a day grinding twenty-six kilograms and four ounces of spices. Each person ground nearly two kilograms of spices. If they grinded for the whole day, each person could grind at least three and a half kilograms of spices.
Gu Jin is very satisfied with this speed.
"I've registered the kilograms of spices for all the aunts. There's no mistake. It's getting late, let's all go home." Gu Jinli said, and he, Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yan handed them the return gifts they had prepared for them. : "You can take these bean dregs cakes back."
When Mrs. He Yang and the others saw a basket full of bean dregs cakes, they laughed from ear to ear: "This stuff is very expensive in the town, it cost you a lot of money." Ms. Chen raised her chin and said in a very sullen voice: "Why is it expensive? No matter how expensive it is, our workshop can afford it."
Gu Dagui and Gu Dafu were weighing tomorrow's soybeans for He Laoguo and the others outside. When he heard this, he scolded Mrs. Chen in his heart, will he die if he doesn't? Can't you hide your clumsiness?
“That’s it, you guys are finally getting up, and we’ll be living off of you from now on.” He Yang knew Chen’s temper, and after saying a few nice words, he left with his things.
After He Yang and the others left, Gu Jinli, Chen, Yan, and Mo Chunyue packed the spices they had ground into a wooden box in the back room and locked it with a big lock.
Gu Jinan finished busy with the spices, put away the booklet, and ran to the yard to register the weight for He Laoguo and others who were receiving the soybeans.
“Uncle Laoguo’s family brought two hundred and fifty catties of soybeans.”
He Laoguo's family, father and son, grinded beans together, so they took 250 kilograms of soybeans.
“Brother Dazhuang’s family brought one hundred and thirty kilograms of soybeans.” He Dazhuang came to grind beans with his son and took one hundred and thirty kilograms of soybeans.
He Tugou also came with his son, and he also took 130 jins of soybeans.
He Shengzi’s family was the only one grinding beans, but he took eighty kilograms of soybeans.
“Brother Shengzi, can you grind all the soybeans with so many beans? If you can’t grind them all, our workshop will not wait for you to finish grinding them before calling it a day.” Gu Jinan reminded him.
Grinding beans is not as easy as imagined. What they were given was the weight of dry soybeans. When the beans were soaked, it would not be eighty kilograms, but would increase to hundreds of kilograms. One person has to grind beans and filter soy milk, but it is very tiring.
He Shengzi wiped the sweat from his head and said with a smile: "It's okay. I'm young and strong. I'll wear it out."
His grandparents are old, and he is also old. He has to save more money and work hard. How can he have money to support his grandparents in their old age, build a house for the family, find a wife, and save a dowry for his sister?
Hearing this, Gu Jinan had no choice but to remind him: "If you don't finish grinding the soybeans you got today tomorrow, you won't be able to get as much when you get the soybeans tomorrow."
This is the rule I told them early on.
“Hey, okay, Brother An, don’t worry, I know it.” He Shengzi said with a smile, carrying the soybeans he received and taking them to the large water tank assigned to him to soak them.
They have to do the work of soaking the beans themselves, and they have to fetch the water themselves. Gu's workshop will not ask anyone to fetch water for them to soak the beans.
He Laoguo and the others also took the soybeans they received to soak them in water. After they soaked the beans in water, they left the workshop.
Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Yan wanted to go home to work, so they went home.
“Brother An, Xiaoyu, please go back first. We’ll just wait here for Brother Luo and Brother Wu.”
with the Luo family, they know how to box and kick, and there are a lot of tofu and spices in the workshop. These are all money, and someone must keep watch.
Originally, the several families had agreed to let the Luo family father and son and the Qin family brothers take turns keeping watch at night, but today Qin Erlang said that he was going to the military station, and the manpower of the night watchman would probably have to be changed in the future.
"Then let's go back first. Thank you for the hard work, uncles." Gu Jinan held the booklet and took Gu Jinli home for dinner.
While they were going home for dinner, a person was walking in a hurry towards Dafeng Village.
