Chapter 283 Shui Qingzhen is incredible!
Shui Qing saw that the topic naturally led to building a house, and said: "This is what I said that it doesn't matter if there is not enough money.
The new house is built to be a workshop. The four elders also know that Uncle Ding has discovered medicinal herbs in the back mountain of my house. We have planted them on a large scale, and the ones that have grown need to be processed. First, it is convenient for storage and transportation, and second, they can be sold at a good price after processing;
Processing medicinal herbs is a very troublesome thing. When washing and drying, you need a place, and there are many people coming and going, so you need a few special houses.
In addition, we discussed with Uncle Ding We have discussed that if the processed herbs are worth selling, the villagers can come to me to get the seeds if they are willing to plant them. The harvest can be sold to me at the purchase price offered by the city's medicine shop. Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding and their family will process them and sell them together. In this way, the villagers can save time and effort and earn money. Uncle Ding can also control the quality of the herbs, making our Shanshui Village a famous herbal medicine village in the entire Ming Dynasty, so that people will think of our village when they mention herbs!
Shanshui Village products must be top-quality products! "
These words made the four old men excited.
They all felt that they had endless energy and wanted to kick the cow away and plow two acres of land by themselves!
Planting herbs and creating top-quality products!
Then it can become a famous herbal medicine village in the entire Ming Dynasty.
" Shanshui Village products must be top-quality products. " The old village chief repeated these two sentences, and his eyes lit up a little bit every time he said one.
He, he still has to work hard to live, live to see the medicinal herbs grow, sell them to all parts of Ming Dynasty, and let everyone know about the medicinal herbs of Shanshui Village!
Mr. Fan Qi, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Xu swallowed their saliva, feeling extremely excited.
They originally came here just to buy a donkey calf.
How come they talked about building a medicinal herbs village when they could reduce the hard work of farming at home? And they actually felt very hopeful of success!
"It is estimated that the planting of medicinal herbs will be after the busy farming season is over, and the harvest will not be seen until next year, but the recruitment of people for preparing medicinal herbs will be put on the agenda;
I have talked about the preparation of medicinal herbs before, and I believe you have heard about it. It is just right that I will talk about it this time. Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding said that most of the work is washing, steaming and boiling, and women are the most suitable, so women will be given priority;
The wages are 20 cents a day, and a meal is provided at noon. The first batch will be selected from the diligent and quick households in the village. What do you think?" Shui Qing asked politely.
She was also a manager in China, so she knew how to select employees and the art of checks and balances.
The herbal medicine factory was short of people, and the villagers were short of a way to make money. If each household selected one, they could first select the most diligent and efficient one, and secondly, every household would have one, which would balance everyone and everyone would protect this common livelihood.
Once the livelihood was gone, it would be the interests of every household that would be lost.
Income was what everyone cared about most, and it was also what could unite everyone the most.
Old Man Xu nodded continuously.
He just felt that his brain couldn't keep up.
Twenty cents a day, and a lunch was provided, and the women could do it, so that the men wouldn't be delayed from going out to sell rabbits and doing farm work.
Old Man Wang was thinking that twenty cents a day, six hundred cents a month, six taels of silver in ten months, and a donkey a year would not be a problem. No wonder Shuiqing said that it didn't matter if there was not enough silver, because with this way of making money, it could be used to offset silver or buy it with the money earned!
The old village chief's hands trembled slightly with excitement.
It was very difficult for the men in the village to find help outside, but now the women in the village can earn twenty coins a day!
And every family has income. Although a family may only have one, it is rare to have an extra twenty coins a day, and they can also grow medicinal herbs later.
He was thinking about what kind of medicinal herbs it was, and finally looked at the other three people without asking.
He could guarantee that he would keep his mouth shut and not reveal it in advance, but he could not guarantee that others would do the same, especially since these old friends might not have bad intentions and told their children at home out of excitement.
It is better not to ask first, and you will know later.
The four people came anxiously and returned in high spirits.
Originally, I thought that Shuiqing agreed to sell the donkey cub to them and that they could use the donkey in two or three years, which was very good, but I never expected that they could use it in two or three days in this autumn.
Originally, I thought that the income from rabbits was very good, but I never expected that there would be a business of preparing medicinal herbs!
And after the autumn harvest, they can also grow medicinal herbs, especially since this medicinal herb does not occupy fields or land, but only forests, which they think is even better.
And next autumn, their medicinal herbs can also be harvested. In the future, their village will become a medicinal herb village. When they go out and say that it is a mountain and water village that produces a lot of medicinal herbs, others will know about it, how proud they will be.
The four people now feel that this medicinal herb is not only the matter of the young man and his wife, but also the matter of the whole village. Like the rabbit, it must not be spread outside!
"I thought about it, we have to agree on a statement when we go back, saying that this fresh herb is useless and worthless, what is valuable is the processing skills, only after it is processed well can it be sold at a high price to prevent people with bad intentions."
"Yes, I am also thinking about this problem. I also thought that after we plant it, we have to surround the entire mountain and send people to patrol day and night to prevent it from spreading to other places."
"Don't say it, I heard that only the Ding family knows how to process it, but I feel relieved. As long as the skills are not passed on, it will be safe."
"Then let's go back and tell our family not to look at what they shouldn't look at, don't learn what they shouldn't learn, and earn their wages honestly."
"What we thought of, maybe Shuiqing had already thought of it. I think she is really amazing now!"
......
Two or three days later, Shuiqing's family had entered the sowing stage.
Ten donkeys and one cow joined the plowing team of Shanshui Village. With their joining, the efficiency increased rapidly!
After all, the amount of plowing a donkey can do in a day is equivalent to that of three or four strong men, and Shuiqing also borrowed her plow and rake. They just found that Shuiqing's plow is much more useful!
It is also much more labor-saving to pull it.
They decided to find a blacksmith to make the same one when they earn money in the future!
While the donkeys were plowing the land, the men were not idle either. After working together, the plowing was completed seven or eight days earlier than they expected.
The rest was to plant potatoes.
The cut surface of the potato pieces was evenly coated with plant ash, placed in the dug pit, and then covered with soil. This kind of farm work can be done by children aged seven or eight, and every household used it.
In mid-September, the potato planting families had basically finished their work.
Winter wheat was not too stressful because there were only a few acres of land to dig and fill.
At this time, Shuiqing announced the selection of people to prepare medicinal materials!
Except for two fixed families who were not included in the scope, the rest of the families in the village had heard the news and were immediately excited.
