Chapter 117 Building a Cement Plant

The two have known each other for a long time and understand each other. Meng Qi really wants to maintain this deep friendship with Gu Yu.

Seeing that he understood what he said, Officer Meng asked Gu Yu about his other reasons, then waved his hand, turned around and left, returning to the front yard.

Meng Qi couldn't wait to ride his horse and rushed towards the village quickly, hoping to find Gu Yu.

Gu Yu walked out of the Meng family door. She went to find the master who was building the kiln factory and asked him to calculate which auspicious day would be suitable to start construction.

When you get a good life the day after tomorrow, you decisively contract out the materials, manpower, etc. needed to build the kiln to the craftsmen?

When everything was settled and we returned home, it was already dark.

The next day, the masters came to Gu Yu's house and asked Qiu Ju to take people to measure the area of ​​the foundation. After Gu Pan heard the news, he hurried to Gu Yu's house and asked in surprise: "Xiao Yu, I heard Qiu Ju said you want to build a kiln factory?"

Gu Yu came back late last night and didn't have time to tell anyone her plan. Holding Dabao in his arms, he greeted: "Auntie, come and sit."

Nowadays, only the two elders and their younger brother are at home. The children have all gone to work in the county town and at the dock.

It's April now, a busy time for farming.

The two elders thought that being idle at home would be idle, so they might as well go to the fields and do some work.

Unexpectedly, when I walked to the end of the village, I saw Qiu Ju and a few people gathering in the open space at the end of the village and pointing. After asking, they learned that Gu Yu planned to build a kiln there.

Gu Pan sat next to Gu Yu and told her what she had just heard in the field. Gu Yu explained: "This is actually the road I discussed with Sister Qi two days ago to build a road from the county seat to the dock. When I went home, I accidentally found the cement cube that the master left for me, so I decided to do an experiment first... …”

At first, Gu Yu only told Gu Wu and others that she had met a benefactor who taught her martial arts.

Gu Wu and the others felt that in order to learn a craft these days, they had to kowtow and learn from someone else. What's more, this benefactor had given Gu Yu so much help, so he could be considered a reborn parent.

Let Gu Yu call him master. Although Gu Yu was hesitant, with her parents' insistence, she still accepted their suggestion.

With the title of Master, it is much easier to deal with certain things.

Through Gu Yu's explanation, Gu Pan understood clearly and said: "Since you are cooperating with the Meng family to build the road, the time must not be delayed? Your factory will start construction tomorrow. Will it be fully contracted to someone else's master, or will the workers find it themselves and buy the materials themselves?"

"The whole contract is given to the master. I only need to supervise the work from time to time." If you find workers by yourself, let alone wages, people with good connections within the clan will definitely come to help.

Building a kiln is not something that can be completed in a day or two. Now is the busy time for farming, and she cannot delay other people's work in the fields because of her own affairs.

Secondly, naturally I don’t want to make three meals a day, so if we can solve the problem with money, we should contract it to the craftsmen!
When Gu Pan heard this, he frowned and said: "Even though you contracted the materials and manpower to the master, you still arranged for a few people to guard the foundation at night. After all, these things are valuable, and not everyone in our village is a good person. I am afraid that someone will be jealous. Sneaking around to steal materials in the middle of the night.”

"Let two of Qiu Ming and the others go there tonight." Gu Yu also thought that it would be unsafe to pile up so many materials at the end of the village.

The aunt and nephew agreed on this matter, Gu Pan frowned and said, "I mean, your parents haven't come back from your grandma's house for two days, and I don't know how your grandma is doing."

There are three little ones at home, and Gu Pan comes over every now and then to see the three treasures.

Gu Pan came over the night she came back from the county town. Gu Yu only told Gu Wu and Yang that they sent Yang Liuya to her grandmother's house. She hadn't told Gu Pan what was going on specifically. He opened his mouth and told the whole story. Gu Pan said angrily: "I know your mother's relatives more or less well. I told you that your second nephew was not a good person at the beginning, but your mother is still trying to show off to me. Well now, her great-niece is even worse."

When Yang Erniu often came to her home, she said that the child might have other thoughts.

At that time, her younger siblings yelled at her a few times. After her niece was born, Yang Erniu gradually came less and less, and finally she didn't come once in a year and a half.

Gu Yu raised her eyebrows and said: "Actually, if Liuya has clean hands and feet and does her work neatly, for the sake of her relatives, she will come as soon as she comes. I won't say anything more. But she wants to do this. This is not what I want I also gave her a part-time job while earning wages.”

Afterwards, Gu Yu thought about this matter. If Yang Liuya had clean hands and feet and her parents were sensible, for Yang's sake, she really wouldn't do anything to drive people back.

But she herself is useless. She loves petty theft, but she has a bad temper and a mean mouth. How much of a saint must she be to let her work in her shop.

Gu Pan took out the second and third treasures from the bamboo basket, kissed them each on their faces and said, "When you were gone, your father was depressed and your mother was always shorter than others. Now you She is the mother of three children, and your parents are also grandparents. They have their own rules for doing whatever they want, so you don’t have to worry about other people in your family’s family. Just be a stranger."

"I know, aunt." Gu Yu said, knowing what Gu Pan meant.

While Gu Pan and Gu Yu were talking, Gu Dahu suddenly visited and laughed and said, "Xiao Yu, I heard that you are going to build a kiln at the end of the village?"

Gu Yu asked Gu Dahu to sit down and repeated what he had just said to Gu Pan.

Gu Dahu agreed: "The three Congcong brothers and sisters are still young. Even if you have a few servants at home, you have a lot to do, so you might as well contract them out."

Then he further asked if he needed help, but Gu Yu politely declined, "Everyone has their own things to do, so don't help me. And it won't take long for the road construction to start, so everyone should finish the work in the fields quickly." , try to build the road in our village this year.”

"Okay, since you said so, let everyone try to finish the work in the fields and build the road to our village as soon as possible."

The three of them then talked about whether it would be necessary to recruit people after the kiln was built. Gu Yu said: "We must recruit workers."

Gu Dahu looked at Gu Yu with bright eyes, waiting for her next words.

Gu Yu thought that the roads were not easy to walk these days. As long as they built the roads and more people walked on them, cement would not have to worry about lack of sales.

It’s just starting now, and the number of workers needs to be controlled.

When the business is good, we will recruit more people: "When the kiln factory is built, we will hire twenty people first. Later, if the cement sells well, we will hire more people."

When Gu Dahu heard her words, his first reaction was that when recruiting people, naturally people from his own village would be given priority.

Just as he was about to tell Gu Yu that he must first visit the villagers in his own village, Meng Qi rode to the door of his house with a boy.

Because of their relationship, Qiu Ming and the others were no strangers to Meng Qi.

After entering Gu Yu's house without any obstruction, he saw Gu Pan and the village chief. He said hello and winked at Gu Yu.

Gu Pan thought that Meng Qi must have something to discuss with Gu Yu when he came home, so he said, "Sister Qi, there is something going on at Aunt's house. Aunt will go back to deal with important matters first. You and Xiao Yu are playing here and come over for dinner later."

Meng Qi met Gu Pan and his wife several times when they went to the county town before.
