After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

Chapter 356 Lian Er

The event at Queranlou was held for ten days. It was very famous and took away most of the business from the wharf and Wuan City.

Queranlou was holding an event this time. Although some dishes were lost in the raffle, it was still a big profit overall.

After all, everyone ordered a lot of dishes in order to get more chances to win the lottery.

Queranlou is also very generous. You can win a prize by just drawing a lottery. The worst dish is shredded potatoes.

Ye Xi didn't have time to look after the child, so she gave her son to her mother-in-law to take care of. She and her men were stationed in Queran Tower in Wu'an City.

Her father-in-law came to the restaurant on the pier and took charge. Looking at the booming business in the restaurant, he felt proud that he had married Ye Xi for his son.

Now that his son is studying and his daughter-in-law is in charge of the family business, he can go home and enjoy his grandchildren with peace of mind in the future.

The Queranlou event lasted for ten days, and business at other restaurants in the city dropped by more than half.

On the last day, the evaluation results came out, and finally the most popular thirteen-spice ratio was determined.

Ye Qing made a special trip to Queran Tower and consulted the chef to find out what was going on.

"Boss Ye, this seasoning is indeed much more delicious than the ones we bought before. When will you start selling it? I will ask our shopkeeper to buy some."

There are not many seasonings nowadays, basically just oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and some onions, ginger and garlic.

As soon as Ye Qing’s Thirteen Spices came out, knowledgeable chefs wanted to buy them all.

Ye Qing had a plan in mind and agreed to sell it to Queranlou first when it was ready.

On the way back, Ye Qing kept thinking about whether he should open another workshop specializing in making thirteen spices.

However, Shisanxiang is still unsure about its sales, so it would be unsafe to build a workshop rashly.

Ye Qing thought about it all the way but still couldn't make a decision, so she drove the ox cart to the weaving workshop.

She had to first check how much money was left in the account, leaving out the money for buying the land, to see if there was any money left.

Ye Qing went to the weaving workshop and heard that the weaving room was very lively, so he turned around and went to the weaving room.

"What's going on?" Ye Qing went over to watch.

"Qingya is here. Lian'er has woven new cloth and we are all here to watch." The girl who spoke gave up her seat.

Ye Qing walked to the loom, touched the soft cloth with his hands, and felt a little excited.

"Jiang Jun, I feel this fabric is very suitable for making underwear." Ye Qing looked at the team leader Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun also looked pleased, "Yes, this is very close fitting and delicate, and softer than the fabrics used for lining on the market now."

Ye Qing looked at Lian'er. This girl was the youngest in the workshop and was the most cared for by everyone. He didn't expect that she was so talented in weaving.

"Lian'er, is this weaving method troublesome? Can it be woven in large quantities?"

Lian'er's face turned red when she was praised, and her tone was full of excitement.

"Sister Qingya, you just need to be careful when weaving this, but it's more material-intensive and uses more material than ordinary cloth."

Ye Qing waved his hand nonchalantly, "That's not a problem. As long as you can weave it, you will be a great contributor to the workshop. I'll tell Manager Ye and I'll give you ten taels of silver as a reward."

Lian'er stood up excitedly and bowed several times to Ye Qing. Ten taels of silver was a huge sum of money for her.

Her father said that all the money she earned from the weaving workshop would be used to buy her land as a dowry.

Influenced by Ye Qing, their village bought land as soon as they had money. Wu'an City happened to be vast and sparsely populated, so there was land for them to buy.

Ye Yuan got the news and walked over quickly. Seeing Ye Qing's bright eyes, he knew that there really was new cloth.

"Brother Ye Yuan, don't forget to give Lian'er ten taels of silver." Ye Qing first announced the reward to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for innovation.

Ye Yuan agreed repeatedly, leaned over to look at the cloth carefully for a while, and then encouraged Lian'er with a few words.

Jiang Jun asked everyone to stop discussing and go back to weaving, then followed Ye Yuan and the others to Ye Qing's house.

"Jiang Jun, your team has done a great job. I will reward Lian'er with ten taels of silver and you as the team leader with five taels of silver. I hope you will achieve better results in the future." Ye Qing has never been stingy in this regard.

Jiang Jun looked excited. The place he lived in now was free and the monthly salary was very high. Although his younger brother's studies cost money, the village also gave him discounts.

His grandparents were also restless, so they bought two acres of land and planted vegetables on it. They went to the dock to sell vegetables before dawn and earned enough to feed the family.

Recently, my grandparents are looking for a matchmaker named Liu to arrange a marriage for him.

Jiang Jun is very satisfied with his current life. They plan to move their household registration here and never go back.

Ye Qing called the two over because he planned to set up a group specifically to weave this kind of cloth.

"Jiang Jun, Xiaoya and you are in the same group now. We will separate into another group in the future and you will serve as group leaders. Do you plan to stay in the current group or join the newly formed group?"

Jiang Jun couldn't make a decision for a while, so Ye Qing asked him to go back and think about it and give Ye Yuan an answer later.

Jiang Jun went back to continue teaching weaving, while Ye Qing and Ye Yuan discussed how to allocate manpower.

Ye Qing is very optimistic about the newly developed cloth, and believes that it will definitely be popular among wealthy people in the future.

The two of them drew up the rules and waited for Jiang Jun to make a decision. Once he had made up his mind, they immediately assigned people to familiarize themselves with the new technology.

After discussing all this, Ye Qing remembered his purpose and went to find Wei Hong.

"Uncle Wei, how much money do we have in our account?" Ye Qing directly asked what he wanted to know.

"You took away two hundred taels last time, and there are still three hundred taels left from the last few workshops." Wei Hong immediately stated the amount on the account.

Ye Qing counted the piece of land he had his eyes on and found that the money he had was just enough.

Wei Hong looked at Ye Qing's wrinkled face and felt a little curious.

"I'm short of money, so I need to open a shop again."

"I plan to open a workshop. I want to make the seasoning I gave you last time, so that the peppercorns in the village will not have to worry about selling."

Wei Hong took a breath and said, "Qingya, it's still open. We just opened two shops. Let's open them slowly."

Ye Qing wanted to achieve some results before the peppercorns were picked.

Wei Hong roughly knew how the seasoning was made. After thinking for a while, he took out the account book of the mosquito coil workshop.

He opened the account book, looked at the inventory, and got an idea of ​​the situation.

He handed the account book to Ye Qing, who took it and took a look. It was the inventory of the mosquito coil workshop.

"Uncle, why did you ask me to check the inventory?" Ye Qing didn't see anything.

Wei Hong explained to her, "It's autumn now, and we can't sell many mosquito coils. Our inventory can definitely last through this year. We can set aside an area in the mosquito coil workshop to specialize in making seasonings."

Ye Qing patted her head. Why didn’t she think of it? She could try it in the mosquito coil workshop first.

People who work in mosquito coil workshops don’t have to worry about being out of work. If sales are good in the future, they can build another workshop.

Ye Qing made a decision and went to find Tietou in a hurry.

When Tietou heard Ye Qing's idea, his eyes were full of excitement.

He has been worried these days. The mosquito coil workshop has stopped working and he has to be idle again, waiting for it to start again next year.

Tietou was even more proactive than Ye Qing and started by making all the mosquito coil raw materials he had into mosquito coils.
