The Blessing of the Qi Nv of Transmigration

Chapter 67
Yang Feier was in charge of the factory from the beginning, but Yang Feier didn’t care about the accounts. On the morning of 29, Yang Feier just woke up, and more than 60 workers lined up in the factory yard waiting to receive their wages. With the eight hundred coins, the family can live a good year with fish, meat and new clothes. The workers all looked happy, signed their names on the account book in Hu Yongqiang's hand, or put their fingerprints on it. I took a few large strings of copper coins in my hand, put them in a bag, thanked the two people, paid New Year's greetings in advance, and went out in twos and threes. Some family members were waiting by the factory gate, and they happily went to the old street with their own families to do it. New Year's goods are gone.

After Yang Feier had breakfast, Shen Fangrui and Hu Kang each got into a carriage, and took her and Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Cui to the Chinese vegetable market to buy vegetables.Since the preparation of the factory, the two of them have been busy, going to the four branches to collect the bills and deliver the goods, and at the same time looking for house renovations, so they had to bear the pain and bought a carriage. Fortunately, the two of them practiced for a few days. I learned to drive and saved the wages of two drivers.The two people's car is supplemented by people, and the main thing is to pull goods. The horse is not good-looking, but it is very strong and powerful, which is suitable for the two people.

I went to the vegetable market, spent half a day, and bought two carts of vegetables and meat. Fortunately, there was warm well water at home, so I washed the vegetables and meat, and cooked the chicken, fish and other big dishes first. , Stew chicken broth on the stoves in each room, cut up the stir-fried vegetables in the kitchen, store them separately in baskets, cover them with wet towels, and wait until the next day's New Year's Eve to fry directly in the pot.

After dinner, Yang Feier and Hu Yongqiang calculated the accounts for one year in Yang Feier's room.

The first item of income is the five shops, with a total net profit of 590 taels of silver, an average of 310 eight taels of net silver for each shop.

The second item of income is the biscuit factory. Since its opening on the eighth day of November, a total of 15 taels of silver has actually been received, and the net profit of 750 taels of cash is excluding various costs and taxes.

Ruifuxian's annual dividends total 450 taels.

Adding the 890 taels sent by the King of Shu, the total is 500 taels.

Several expenditures this year included 580 new recruits and four assistants for Dong Ningxuan and Bai Qingtong in the laboratory, which cost a total of [-] taels of silver.

四个分店开设共计800两。培训中心房祖共计420两。实验室用品配置共计2000两。投资蜀王共计三千750两。买厂房建厂共计两千300两。家中一年这五六十口人各项生活开支，包括杨菲尔送的礼共计一千190两。所有开支合计一万一千零40两。

This year's net income is 460 taels of silver!
Hu Yongqiang always handles tens of thousands of silver every day. Even if he doesn't count the ledger, he knows it well. Although he is not surprised, his heart is as comfortable as the spring breeze.He said with a smile: "This day is really full of sesame seeds, thanks to our family having a rich boy."

Yang Feier rolled his eyes around and said with a smile, "Jin Cai boy? Where is it?"

Hu Yongqiang seldom sees his daughter's funny appearance. He is busy on weekdays and always looks like a little adult. Sometimes he even forgets that she is still a child. The fact that she can make such an expression today shows that Yang Fei Er is also in an excellent mood now, and he can't help laughing out loud.

In the early morning of 31st, 46 employees gathered in Hu's courtyard, together with Hu and Chen's family, set up six tables. The kitchen in the shop was dedicated to continuously boiling water, and three female employees were in charge of tea.

The chicken broth boiled in each soup pot is poured into a large pot, topped with vermicelli and ingots, served by six female employees wearing flowers and butterflies, with salted gizzard and salty claws, fried peanuts With chopped peppers, the courtyard was steaming, and everyone was eating warmly.

The breakfast here has just been collected, and a group of more than a dozen women started to wash the dishes and wash the dishes, and the dishes that were not finished last night had to be cut and prepared, and the boys started to clean the yards. , including the factory side, and then paste Spring Festival couplets on every door, window and tree. After these things are done, everyone will be seated for the New Year's dinner in Hu's courtyard. Mr. Hu leaned on a burning torch on the threshold Hu Yongqiang and Shen Fangrui each lighted a long whip, and the sound of firecrackers crackled. Hu Kang stood on the ladder and posted a horizontal banner saying "Happy New Year" on the gate.

After Hu and Chen's two families were seated, Hu Yongqiang stood up with his wine glass, and there was no sound in the courtyard. After this year's experience, Hu Yongqiang had grown into a decent shopkeeper. Full of momentum, not angry.Hu Yongqiang held up his wine glass and said to the crowd: "At this moment, all the relatives of my Hu family who can sit here are relatives of my Hu family. In the past year, we have been able to share joys and sorrows together and help each other in the same boat. For this, I, Hu, am very grateful for everyone’s efforts. My heart is in the wine, I hope everyone can find hope and joy in life in my Hu family, and live a comfortable life!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his glass to the people who were looking at the yard, raised his neck and drank it all. Everyone laughed and said, "Have a good time!" Stand up and raise their glasses to Hu Yongqiang's side.

Then everyone began to toast to the Hu and Chen families in turn, from elder to younger, from respectful to humble, from male to female, the courtyard was very lively, you pushed and gave way, toasted and laughed.

After drinking for three rounds, Yang Feier's four disciples, A Zhen, A Tang, A Shan and A Shui, brought out two big bamboo baskets, and each of them came to receive [-] Wen New Year's money, and then brought out boxes of new clothes and distributed them to everyone. Two sets per person, one thicker and one thinner, are all tailored according to the size of the apprentices and employees. These things are made by Shen and Cui years ago. Each tailor's shop is different, and each one has its name marked on it, so everyone can come up and pick it up.

After the New Year's dinner, the women were still busy in the kitchen. Although there was a lot of work, there were also many people. Each person was responsible for one piece. After washing and cleaning up, they began to make dumplings. Fortunately, there were only two rooms in the kitchen, but It is also spacious, with more than a dozen women gathered around the long dining table, two for kneading noodles, two for mixing stuffing, four for rolling out skins, and four for making dumplings.

When there are many people, various skillful wrapping methods appear one after another. Some noodles are added with spinach juice and rolled into emerald green dumpling wrappers, wrapped into Chinese cabbage-shaped dumplings, and some are rolled with yellow radish juice into golden dumpling wrappers, wrapped into ingots. For dumpling-shaped dumplings, there are noodles with purple cabbage juice rolled into purple dumpling skins, and dumplings wrapped into butterfly-shaped dumplings. In addition to lotus-shaped dumplings, there are also wooden fish-shaped, wave-shaped, clam-shaped, and horseshoe-shaped dumplings. , four-happiness shape, crescent moon shape, wallet shape, lock head shape, straw hat shape, goldfish shape, etc., in various colors and shapes, white one team, green one team, orange one team, purple one team, Divide into a team for each shape, use a small dustpan to arrange them neatly on the few dining tables in the yard, each table is full, probably enough to feed the people at that table, they are all half-sized, poor eaters Lao Tzu, it’s not enough if you don’t prepare too much.

Today, these dumplings amazed the people in the courtyard. Those who shoot arrows, throw pots, play cards, play chess, and gossip, all gathered around to look at them. It is unexpected that such a small dumpling can be made in so many ways. It's simply breathtaking.

Counting the population of the family, there are a total of 65 people. If there is only one copper coin in the dumpling at night, the chances are too small, and there may be too many disappointed people. Tong and Hu Guang ate it, and everyone congratulated them. Mrs. Wang smiled at Mrs. Zhou: "Your family has eaten two of them. It must be a blessing in the coming year!"

Zhou said: "It's all because of your family's glory. We came here by ourselves. We were not enjoying ourselves that day!"

Shen said with a smile: "We are all enjoying Xiu'er's blessing. The family's prosperous life is thanks to Xiu'er's intelligence and ability."

Yang Feier listened aside, and said with a smile: "Without all of you, I can't do it alone. How can I do these things! Who really enjoys the blessing all the year round? It's not because of the busy feet every day. Touching the floor, falling asleep at night when you are tired? Next year I have to think of a way to make it easier for everyone, and when you have nothing to do, watch a play and embroider and direct people to do things, that is a blessing."

Those ancient books and costume dramas that Yang Feier has read all talk about the life of the rich in this way, but unfortunately the family is still short of staff, and Wang, Shen, and the others can’t be idle, and they just left the rake and touched the broom , when there is no time to spare, Yang Feier plans not to increase anything in the next year, just start these things, and do it well. If the development is too fast, I am afraid that the foundation will not be solid. It is reasonable to keep it for a year.

Mrs. Wang was surprised: "Ha, then don't we all become old ladies of the government?"

Yang Feier said with a smile: "I'm afraid that your granddaughter and I will never be able to give you the old man's status as an official. It depends on the luck of the eldest brother and the twins."

When Hu Kang at the next table heard Yang Feier mentioning him, he turned around and said with a smile: "I see, I will work hard, big brother. In the spring of next year, I will take part in the government examination with Shen Jing. During this year in Shushan Academy, Regardless of success or failure, let’s try what we have learned over the years before we talk about it.”

Yang Feier smiled and said: "This is a good thing, why have you never heard of it?"

Shen Jing said: "My cousin runs around all day for our family's livelihood. We rarely see each other, and we don't have a chance to talk about it."

Shen Jing has always been relatively introverted, and rarely heard him speak, but today it was strange, probably because he was extremely happy because he won a lottery in a dumpling today.

Shen Fangrui said: "Jing'er is very sensible, she even knows the hard work of her cousin."
