Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 144: 35 days to come

Wei Tingting, who had already returned home, sneezed because of Zhao Langze's scolding!

The aggrieved Zhao Langze ate at the banquet outside and didn't even drink any wine!

The wine outside is the loose wine that Gu Dalian bought in the space. Even this is several grades higher than the good wine of this era, with a high alcohol content and a pure taste!

The neighbors were all excited, eating and drinking to their heart's content!

This buffet is still fresh in everyone’s memory even after so many years!

As the saying goes: The crying baby gets the milk! The noisy baby gets the candy!

Look, Zhao Langze got a can of red wine for himself, and Shopkeeper Zhao got a can each. Chef Wang also got a can of loose wine produced in his space. They drank them like treasures for many days, but that’s a story for later!

The music had ended and everyone had left outside, but Zhao Langze refused to leave, and kept shouting how it was so hard for him to get to the edge of Yandang Mountain and find time to go hunting in the mountains. This made the people around him glare at him!

In the end, Gu Dalian had no choice but to arrange Zhao Langze in the front yard. Xu Xiuhe, who was of the same age as him, stayed in the front yard to receive calls!

It was almost five in the afternoon when the crowd finally dispersed, the bowls and pots were all clean, and everyone put the unfinished white steamed buns in their pockets and took them home for the next meal!

Only more than twenty men and a dozen women were left. Everyone helped to clean all the pots and pans. The men helped to return the tables, chairs and benches, and the women helped to clean up!

Finally, Gu Dalian took the lead and distributed a bowl of various meat dishes cooked in the kitchen to the women's families as a token of gratitude! After all the outsiders had left and returned to the courtyard, Gu Xiaolian said:

"Sister, Aunt Qin is so shameless. She took Gu Damei and Gu Ermei to dinner and even brought a big bowl with her. Before others had even taken a few bites, she was already digging into her own bowl! When she left, she took a bowl full of meat!"

Gu Dalian raised an eyebrow, knowing that Qin Jiaojiao was not having a good life right now, so she just took some things to display, as long as it didn't cause any trouble for her family!

Then Gu Xiaolian continued:

"And there's Gu Ermei. She keeps getting closer to Brother Langze and speaks in a coquettish voice that gives me goosebumps!"

Gu Dalian was stunned. She didn't expect that Gu Ermei would never change her bad habits.

Unable to see Luo Feimo, the target has changed again! It seems that Zhao Shadan will have another good show to watch!

The brothers and sisters were talking and laughing when they heard Xu Ziwei's voice coming from outside:

"Second Master, Miss, there is a girl outside who wants to see you!"

"She said her name was Gu Xiaomei and she had something very important to say!"

The four brothers and sisters looked at each other, and Gu Wenzhi said:

"Let her in!"

After a while, Gu Xiaomei walked into the yard. The door curtain was lifted, and she saw several people at a glance.

He walked a few quick steps into the house, lowered the door curtain, and then lowered his voice and said:

"… Second… Brother Wenzhi, Sister Dalian, Sister Xiaolian… Brother Gu Lun, congratulations on your moving into your new home…"

After saying this, he hesitated for a moment before whispering:

"Last night, I overheard Grandpa and Fourth Uncle saying that they had found a master to kill you. They also said that they would be here in about three to five days!"

"You better be careful. If you really can't get out of here, go out and take shelter!"

Gu Dalian sneered: "These two jackals are not worthy of being human. We haven't even bothered them yet, but they actually want to kill us to silence us. Do they think we are all dead?"

He turned around and ordered outside: "Sister Ziwei, ask the kitchen to prepare some food and send it over!"

Ziwei responded and went to find Pei!

Inside the room, Gu Xiaomei looked at the cushioned bench and didn't dare to sit down, fearing that her ragged clothes would get dirty. Gu Dalian forced her to sit on it and said,

"I see that you look pretty good these days, so you should be fine!"

Gu Xiaomei smiled and said, "Thank you for your advice! I won't confront them head-on now!"

"When grandma scolds me, I pretend to be deaf. When she asks me to do something, I do it as long as I can do it. It's just a bit of strength anyway!"

"Anyway, I try to stay as far away as possible. She can't do anything to me. Grandma always calls me a monkey now!... She wants to hit me but she can't!"

Gu Dalian was a little worried: "Next time you come here, try to go around to the back, don't let your grandma and the others see you!"

Gu Xiaomei heard Gu Dalian's genuine concern and nodded repeatedly. She waited for Ziwei to bring in four dishes and a soup, plus two large white steamed buns. After she was full, she went back through the back!

The two older ones also told the two younger ones to try not to go out when they got home these few days to avoid being suddenly attacked!

After talking about some precautions, Gu Dalian took Gu Xiaolian to the next yard to rest!

Luo Haosan appeared, holding a large square brocade box in his hand: "This is what the master sent over at full speed!" He put down the brocade box and disappeared somewhere unknown!

Gu Dalian opened the box and found a jade cabbage inside, crystal clear. I don’t know where this guy found it, but it’s obviously a fine jade!

There was a piece of paper under the jade cabbage, on which was written:

Congratulations on the completion of your new home. I can’t celebrate this in time, so I’m sending you a jade cabbage that I carved myself as a token of my congratulations.

Below is Luo Feimo’s signature!

The craftsmanship is not bad. It's rare for this dog to have faith. Is there anything else to say...

Luo Gouzi who is far away in the border: I want to say something else, but I’m afraid someone will come directly to the border and break my legs!

October 21st. It has been calm these days, but today the temperature seems to be much higher than usual. It is stuffy and it seems like it is going to rain!

Today is a good day for the female workers in the workshop. The boss said that everyone has performed well after a month's work and will give them bonuses. Everyone is smiling!

"Qin Ruyi 20 wen... Gu Meihua 20 wen... Sun Qiaoniang 20 wen... Zhao Qinqin 50 wen..."

Everyone was happy when they received the bonus, but some people were not convinced. Why did the head of the village only get 10 cents more?

Gu Dalian also knew that everyone would have questions in their hearts, so she did not hide them and said with a smile:

"You must be wondering why I gave Aunt Zhao a bigger bonus? Not only was the bonus higher, but the wages were also higher than yours. Do you know why?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Zhao Qinqin looked proud:

"I know because I work diligently and conscientiously at my post. I come in early and leave late. I never come in late or leave early!"

Gu Dalian nodded and said, "Also, it was because Aunt Zhao treated the factory as her home and worked responsibly that we were able to avoid losses in our factory!"

"I hope that everyone will do their best to protect the interests of our factory in the future. We will develop the second, third, or even more factories in the future!"

"Then I will select qualified personnel from among you to serve as supervisors of the second and third factories, and their salaries and bonuses will be increased accordingly!"

Everyone was in an uproar: "Boss, are you going to hire more people by then?"

"Yes, I will conduct a strict screening when the time comes. Not everyone can enter our factory. In our factory, women can hold up half the sky, which means that we women can also be the masters of the house!"

"But the prerequisite is that they must have good character. Our factory will never accept those who gossip about others, like to sow discord, and do not love the factory!"

"You can also take a look ahead of time and help us select talents for our factory. When the new factory opens in the future, we will definitely transfer you old employees to be supervisors!"

"With more factories, supervisors can be promoted to managers and manage more people. I hope everyone will work hard! Also, starting from today, our wages will be settled once a month, and then the wages and bonuses will be paid together. Do you all agree?"

Everyone earned a lot this month, so of course no one has any objections!

Widow Feng said, "Master, my second sister-in-law and my niece are both good people, but they live far from our village. I wonder if they can come when the time comes?"

“We’ll talk about it when the second show opens. If you really want to come and feel it’s far away, you can rent our house, which is the row at the back. But it’s still a rough plan now, and we’ll finalize the rules when the time comes!

"Also, after working for a month, I found that everyone was diligent in their work and no one was lazy or slacking off, so I decided..."

"Starting from next month, everyone's salary will be increased by five cents per day. From now on, the salary will be settled at the end of the month. If you have difficulties at home, you can get an advance payment!"

There was an uproar in the workshop. This news was unexpected and exciting. This was the same wage as men!

More than a dozen people had their minds calculated and secretly made up their minds to work hard and strive to become supervisors and managers!
