Chapter 211: After eating cornmeal, we must work better!
Shui Qing pointed to the other side of the kitchen and said to the five people: "There are also several stove holes opposite the dining hall. They were originally used for brewing and steaming rice. Last year, the imperial court stopped allowing private brewing to the private sector and they were left idle. After lunch, you can go there first. While doing it.”
There are many people eating today, so the kitchen here will probably be used in the afternoon.
Qin Yilin often uses dried yam during these days there, and keeps it very clean. There is no need to clean it again. They finish it earlier and can take a rest in the afternoon.
Zhou Yu bowed and responded: "Okay."
Li Dani easily picked up the cloth bag that Shui Qing had dragged out for a long time with one hand, and the other four followed and went to the room on the other side of the kitchen.
Shui Qing was surprised to see it.
That’s hundreds of kilograms of white flour! Li Dani actually picked it up with one hand.
And it doesn’t look like it’s hard.
Qin Yilin behind her sighed: "It's great that you have this group of people. You can do a lot of things in the future."
Shui Qing thought so too.
She has many mountains and lands now, and she really needs people.
Qin Yilin knew that many things Shui Qing did were different from what she said, so she pointed it out directly: "I'm not talking about farming."
Shui Qing's eyebrows were raised slightly.
Qin Yilin thought that Shuiqing was from a farmer's family after all. Even though he grew up in Niutou Town, his family had no servants to take care of him. It was normal to not know anything about this.
She said softly: "We can pay money to hire men and women in the village to do the work such as washing, cutting, drying, etc. in the early stages of farming and preparing medicinal materials;
But for example, what kind of things are added to steam, the duration of steaming, and the level of heat are further steps in the craftsmanship. The people in the village cannot be contaminated at all, so that the business of preparing medicinal materials can be continued for a long time in the future.
The contracts of this group of people are in your hands. Even if there are particularly greedy people who dare to betray their masters, you can sell them or kill them. For this reason alone, they will not dare to betray their masters easily. "
When there were not many medicinal materials, she, Heli and Jiajia could do it by themselves, but when there were too many medicinal materials, it would not work!
In particular, the harvest period of medicinal materials is the same as that of food. They are concentrated in one time period. After harvest, they must be prepared while they are fresh and of good quality. Otherwise, the efficacy of the medicine will be greatly reduced, and the price will be greatly reduced.
With the group of people brought by Mr. Bai, they can safely hand over the further work. From now on, the three of them only need to focus on the core points. They can quickly prepare the medicinal materials without worrying about the secret recipe being leaked.
Only then did Shui Qing realize that Qin Yilin was talking about medicinal materials.
She didn't understand the processing of medicinal materials, but she still understood patent property rights. Hua signed contracts with core personnel and was bound by law. There was no contract here, but a contract of sale was more effective than a contract.
"Sure, I don't know anything about medicinal materials. You have full authority to make the decision!" Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Qin Yilin likes Shui Qing's demeanor, which is open and bright!
Those who don’t understand won’t pretend to understand, and they won’t be able to manage an expert by an outsider. Those who trust him will have full power to make the decision, without intervening or interfering;
Stay away from the bad ones.
The two of them were talking and laughing, while Li Dani on the other side opened the bag and was stunned when she saw that it was not black noodles but white noodles.
"Why is it white noodles? Could it be that Madam got the wrong one?"
"It should be black noodles. Even if it's not black noodles, corn noodles, millet, etc. are also very good. How can it be white noodles?"
Several people discussed and agreed that the lady had accidentally picked up the wrong one.
"I'll go ask." Li Dani tied the bag tightly again and carried it back.
Here Zheng Yan said: "In the past, when my old boss came, Zhuang Boss would serve him white noodles and rice as staple food. Who are we? We had a meal of white noodles in the morning. How can we eat white noodles for several days when we go out?"
Li Erni agreed: "You're right, that bag weighs more than a hundred kilograms. Speaking of which, this morning was the first time I ate noodles made from white flour in my age. It was so smooth!"
"It's good to eat some. Have you forgotten the feeling of being hungry before? Look, there will probably be more hungry people in the future!" Wang Qiuyue sighed deeply.
The others pursed their lips and admitted that this was indeed the case.
They are already so poor, and there are disaster victims who want to rob them along the way. Those people are afraid that they can't even have half a meal...
Li Dani went as fast as she could and came back even faster, and she even had another bag in her other hand.
Li Erni greeted her, "Sister, have you changed it?"
They were biological sisters, and they were married to two brothers from the same family. They were together when the flood came. Her sister reacted quickly, hugged the uncle who was injured, and held her tightly, so she survived.
None of the women in Zhuangzi knew how to drink water. They were the only two women in the family who survived.
"It's not changed. Madam said the one she got is the right one! It's white noodles!" Li Dani seemed to still feel that it was unreal and said to her sister.
Li Erni opened her mouth, and it took a while before she uttered: "What a good owner we have met?"
Wang Qiuyue, Zhou Yu, and Zheng Yan were even more delighted.
Li Dani handed over another bag, "Madam said we had a hard time on the road, and tomorrow they will go on a long journey, which requires physical exertion, so they need to eat better;
We were given peanuts, sesame seeds, sugar and salt, and asked us to watch them being made. We could make them as much or as little as we wanted. "
The four people hurriedly opened the sack and saw that there were peanuts and sesame seeds in small cloth bags, as well as brown sugar and salt wrapped in oil paper.
"Madam also said that after a while when we go out, we won't have white flour and rice to eat. We will have to eat corn noodles and potatoes. Let's be mentally prepared in advance."
The four of them thought they heard wrongly, and looked up to Li Dani and asked: "There are corn noodles to eat, what should you do to prepare yourself mentally?"
One pound of corn noodles can buy two pounds of black noodles!
In the past, at Zhuangzi, even black noodles could not always be dry, and corn noodles could only be eaten during the New Year and festivals when the owner would reward them.
Li Dani didn't understand either. She scratched her head and guessed: "Perhaps they gave us corn noodles to eat so that we could work better and harder?"
The four of them deeply felt that this was reasonable!
He nodded heavily: "I'm going to eat corn noodles, of course I have to work better!"
Otherwise, I would be sorry for Baogu noodles.
As for eating potatoes, I might have gotten used to it by then.
The five people organized everything and made preparations. It was too late at noon, and the food in the kitchen was already ready when they came back.
Sure enough, after a while, the sound of food being served came from over there.
When the five people went over and saw the food at noon, they finally remembered what Sister Dani said about "white flour rice". They had eaten noodles made of white flour in the morning, and there was still rice at noon!
No, it’s not just the rice, but the dishes that go with the rice, they didn’t even eat it during the Chinese New Year!
Only when the former boss came to Zhuangzi, he saw it at the table prepared by Zhuangtou.
