After He Li, follow the reckless man to flee the wasteland and farm the fields

Chapter 286 The Uninvited Guest

When Su Qing heard Qiu Yongkang asked her to come out of the house, when Qiu Yongkang saw Su Qing, the smile on his face disappeared, and he spoke in a business-like tone.

"All the coal that was dug before was distributed to the villagers. Let me come over and ask if I can dig some more coal?"

Before Ji Shuisheng left, he told Qiu Yongkang that he should discuss with Su Qing if he had anything to do, so Qiu Yongkang came to her when he heard that Su Qing was back.

"Well, if you don't come, I will go to find you. This time, let's dig more coal and gather the strong laborers in the village to hold a meeting. We will get paid according to our work. We can earn wages by working. We can pay for it once a month. Money can also be asked for sheep, if you want to do it, sign up."

On the way back, Su Qing thought it over. It would take three days to go back and forth to dig coal. You can't waste time by going back and forth like this. You must bring coal back every day, which requires non-stop coal digging and transportation to ensure Keep on file.

But this requires a lot of manpower, but the most they need is manpower. It is not yet the spring plowing time, everyone is idle and free, and they are definitely willing to make some money to support their families.

Otherwise, the sheep given to them by Shuisheng will be gone within a few days, and no one can keep them for nothing and let them fend for themselves.

"it is good."

Qiu Yongkang saw the admiration in Su Qing's eyes, and immediately went to call a meeting of the strong men in the village.

Mr. Qiu was very excited when he heard Su Qing's proposal. He was worried that everyone would not find a way to make money after the separation, so Su Qing provided everyone with a chance to make money. She is really the savior sent by heaven to save Taohuawu.

During the meeting, no one objected, and all enthusiastically signed up, and their enthusiasm was unprecedentedly high.

Su Qing arranged three shifts for them. The first shift was led by Li Daniu, the second shift was led by Zhong Yong, and the remaining shift was led by Jiang Laoqi. home opportunity.

After arranging the mining and transportation, Su Qing started to build a wine shop. She thought clearly that wine was the most valuable in Tartan, and she could use the existing grain to make wine and sell it at a high price to Tartan for sheep.

This can solve the problem of eating for everyone. One hundred catties of sorghum rice or corn or one hundred catties of brown rice can usually produce about fifty catties of 55-degree liquor. Two catties of liquor can be exchanged for one sheep, and fifty catties is enough. Change 25 sheep.

One stone of rice is equal to ten buckets, one bucket is equal to ten liters, one liter of rice is about 1.25 catties, one bucket of rice is about 12.5 kilograms, and one stone of rice is 62.5 kilograms, which means that one stone of rice can produce at least fifty catties of liquor.

In this way, one stone of rice can be exchanged for 25 to 26 fat sheep.

Tatan's fat sheep have a high yield of meat. One sheep can produce about 750 catties of mutton, which is equivalent to [-] catties of mutton for one stone of grain.

This is not to mention that the remaining distiller's grains can be fed to pigs, sheep, and chickens. The profit margin is too great.

Eating meat is better than drinking porridge to support people, otherwise why do people in Tatan grow tall and strong?

Su Qing is going to take the girls to make wine together, so that everyone will have an extra income.

There are many vacant houses in Mocheng, but the winery needs a large space. She chose the yard where she just lived in Mocheng.

Originally, the wounded lived here, but now almost all the wounded have recovered and returned to the camp, so the house is vacant.

The steps of making wine are firstly material selection, secondly, distillation, thirdly, koji making, fourthly, fermentation, fifthly, blending, sixthly, aging and final wine making.

Su Qing changed the house into five workshops. The first workshop is used to store grain and select materials, and the second workshop is used for distillation. This requires a large pot and a steamer, which she has to do herself.

The third workshop is used for koji making and fermentation, and the fourth workshop is used for blending and aging.

The fifth workshop is the finished product workshop, that is, the wine storage.

As long as the girls can work with Su Qing, they will be happy no matter how hard or tired they are. Everyone is very interested in making wine when they hear that Su Qing is making wine, and they all hope to work in the winery.

The men in the family go to the coal mine to dig coal to make money, and they are not far behind. Since Su Qing came, these girls have been subtly influenced, and they all feel that women are no worse than men, and they can do the same if men can make money. Men can fight, and they can also go to the battlefield. Not willing to lag behind.

The winery needs a lot of wine barrels, which requires wood. Su Qing wants to take the girls to cut down trees. There are no mature trees near Mocheng, so he needs to go south, and the area near Luocheng is densely covered with mountains and forests.

Hearing that Su Qing was going to cut trees and transport wood, Cheng Yu brought a dozen soldiers over to help.

Now that there is no war, idleness is idleness. You can't eat for free, you have to contribute to the construction of Mocheng.

With their help, Su Qing didn't have to take the girls around. The men went to cut trees, and she and the girls set up a wine-making pot at home. They were busy from morning to night every day, and they were very motivated.

Making wine still requires a lot of equipment, and for the time being, it can only be made of wood. Although this old-fashioned wine making equipment is clumsy, it still has advantages in producing wine with a strong aroma.

The distillery still needs to dig the wine cellar for fermentation. Su Qing took the girls to dig the wine cellar, and Cheng Yu sent someone over to help.

The house was not big enough and needed to be rebuilt. Cheng Yu came to help build the house in person. Everyone worked together with unprecedented enthusiasm.

After work every day, Su Qing would catch a fat sheep and roast it to reward everyone. Cheng Yu was worried about her. There were only 21 sheep in total. Wouldn't they eat them all?
Three days later, the first batch of coal arrived. It was Zhong Yong who mined and transported the coal. Don’t look at Zhong Yonghan, but he knew how to obey orders and obey orders. .

Su Qing took Zhong Yong and the others to the junction of the two countries to wait for the third prince's people to trade. In the past few days, she asked Xiao Qi to make a hundred plasters, and this time she also handed them over to them.

Su Qing rushed to the border with a coal cart, and the third prince's people came after not too long. They pulled ten carts of leather and thirty fat sheep.

What Su Qing didn't expect was that Yeluchun came with him this time?
"Trouble solved?"

Su Qing asked Yeluchun in words that both of them could understand.

"Well, it's settled."

Yeluchun's face was full of spring, with a high-spirited look, and an ambitious light in his eyes.

"That's good. Here are a hundred plasters. Take them back and sell them first. I'll bring some more next time. This box of pills is for your mother. I don't have time to give her acupuncture. This medicine can cure her illness. "

Su Qing handed the plaster and a brocade box to Yeluchun, and Yeluchun thanked him gratefully.

"There are credits and debts in long-term business. Both of us have to keep accounts, and we will reconcile accounts at the end of each month."

In the future, the business will grow bigger and bigger, Su Qing doesn't want to be confused, after all, every time there is a credit, it will be forgotten after a long time, and it will easily cause conflicts.

"It's Miss Su's thoughtfulness, which is very good."

Yeluchun also agreed with this point, praised Su Qing for his thoughtfulness, and sincerely admired this smart and intelligent woman.

Su Qing brought the sheepskin and fat sheep back to Mo City, but unexpectedly, Mo City had an unexpected visitor.
