The broker arranged to bring the person to see him early tomorrow morning. He introduced the person not only to make money, but also to provide a way out for the child.
He watched the child grow up, so he would help in any way he could.
Ye Qing led his men to pack up, as their caravan was about to return.
Ye Qing was planning to bring some gifts back home. He went out for a walk two days ago and didn't buy everything.
Silk is produced here, so Ye Qing brought some finished clothes back to her family, as well as some silk scarves and head ornaments.
Ye Qing asked someone to make a few sets of silk pajamas to order, and went back to share them with his family. This kind of fabric is very comfortable to wear.
Wang Yun and the others saw the pattern of pajamas and ordered a few. There is a lot of silk here, and it is half the price of buying it in Wu'an City.
The next day, the broker came with a tall, honest-looking young man who looked about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Miss Ye, this is the child I told you about. He is seventeen years old. Although he is young, he has worked in the weaving workshop for five or six years. He has done all kinds of work and is a hard-working child."
Ye Qing looked at the somewhat reserved young man in front of him. There was not a single wrinkle on his clothes. Although the color of the clothes was faded, they were washed very cleanly and he was tidily dressed.
"Miss Ye, my name is Jiang Jun. I can weave both fine and coarse cloth, but I am best at weaving fine cloth."
After listening to Jiang Jun's brief introduction, Ye Qing took him into the house and asked him to try the newly purchased loom.
Jiang Jun was not stage-frightened and operated the loom skillfully. The sound of the loom reminded Ye Qing of the song "Jiji, Jiji" where Mulan weaves by the window.
The scenes in the book shone into reality, causing Ye Qing to be in a trance for a moment.
Only when the sound of the loom stopped did Ye Qing come back to his senses.
Ye Qing went over to take a look at the woven cloth. The texture was clear and the craftsmanship was better than Gao Hui's.
While Ye Qing was looking at the cloth, Jiang Jun went to another loom.
The broker stood beside Ye Qing and spoke well of Jiang Jun, praising him to the highest heaven.
Ye Qing approved of Jiang Jun in her heart, and his skill in weaving fine cloth could meet her requirements.
Ye Qing touched the coarse cloth he had woven, but couldn't make out anything.
It feels very good. It can be seen that Jiang Jun is a down-to-earth person. If he hadn't said that the coarse cloth was not woven well, Ye Qing would not have noticed it.
Ye Qing was very satisfied. "I will provide food and accommodation. If your family goes with you, I can provide a small courtyard and give you ten taels of silver every month."
When Jiang Jun heard the ten taels of silver, he looked up in shock.
"Miss Ye, ten taels of silver is too much."
Ye Qing understood his feelings. A sudden tenfold increase in salary and the requirement to leave home would have made anyone think it was a scam.
"Of course, you are not going to get these ten taels of silver for free. You need to teach the people in the workshop how to weave cloth. Don't worry, your monthly salary will only increase and not decrease. We are far away from each other, so there is no possibility of competing for your business." Ye Qing explained.
Jiang Jun was happy to hear that they would not compete with him for business. If it would have an impact on Lucheng, he would not go with them no matter how much money they offered.
Ye Qing asked him to go back and pack his things, as he would not be back for a short time, and to take everything he could from home with him.
The broker was also happy for Jiang Jun, as he had reached the age to get married. Previously, no one was willing to be with him because of his family burdens. He decided to save some money and marry a wife to raise his younger siblings.
Ye Qing gave the broker one or two taels of silver as a reward for his hard work, and the broker took Jiang Jun away.
Ye Qing had almost packed his things, and they set off for home two days later.
Ye Qing then thought of Xiaoya. She had also gone to learn silkworm breeding some time ago.
Xiaoya has a good foundation and learns quickly. Now she helps Ye Qing take care of the silkworm seeds he bought.
"Xiaoya, don't stay in the house. Come with me for a walk. See if we need to buy anything else. We can also have more food on the way."
Xiaoya heard about buying materials and came out of the house.
"Girl, I'll tell you a few things, and you just buy them."
"Let's go. You don't have to take care of those silkworm seeds all the time. Come with me for a walk. You're getting bored staying in the house all day." Ye Qing pulled her out without saying a word.
Wang Yun and a few others were standing at the door waiting for them. After more than a month of getting along with each other, they all liked this discerning girl.
Xiaoya no longer had the reservedness she had just had, and helped Ye Qing carry the basket, and the group went out talking and laughing.
They went to the spice shop first. Ye Qing’s homemade low-end version of Thirteen Spices was very popular near Wu’an City.
She wanted to find some more seasonings to add in to upgrade her thirteen spices.
After buying these things, Ye Qing was attracted by the seed shop next to him.
After several years of hard work, the experimental field at home has been able to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu.
She planned to buy some new seeds and take them back so that her father could continue his research and try to develop more new varieties.
Every year, my family would plant seeds on 50 acres of land in the experimental field. Only when they maintained high yields for two consecutive years would they sell the seeds.
In the past few years, Boss Ye has made a lot of money just by selling seeds.
Especially as the wharf gradually prospered, passing ships would hear the news and take some back.
Nowadays, wealthy families have land at home. If the yield per mu increases by 200 kilograms, 1,000 mu of land will yield 20,000 kilograms.
Boss Ye opened a seed shop at the dock, specializing in selling seeds that his family had improved.
Their seed shop has the help of the government to promote it, and Boss Ye is not the kind of person who would pretend to be good by doing bad things.
The Ye family seed shop has now become the signboard of the dock. Some ships that do not plan to stop will also take a break to buy seeds.
Ye Qing picked out some seeds that she didn't have at home, as well as some wheat seeds. She bought a lot, so the store owner enthusiastically delivered the seeds to her yard.
At the agreed time, Ye Qing took Ye Fan to Gaojiazhuang. They also had to pull the remaining looms.
Gao Hui was waiting by the car, holding her child and carrying a large bag.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Ye Qing thought that she was reluctant to leave home.
"Sister Hui, don't worry, the people over there are very easy to get along with."
Only then did Gao Hui react, and there was a gleam in her eyes.
Gao Lizheng invited Ye Qing into the house, and the villagers from the loom helped load the cart.
"Miss Ye, I'm entrusting my niece to you. If she does anything wrong in the future, send me a message and I'll ask his father to scold her."
Ye Qing looked at the worry in the eyes of the village head and was touched that he cared about his niece.
"Gao Lizheng, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the person. Our village will come again later, and I will ask Sister Gao Hui to write to you then."
Although Gao Lizheng was a little reluctant, he still made up his mind to send the person away.
Gao Huifu's family refused to let him go. Half of the people in their village went there to help him before they agreed. However, they spent twenty taels of silver to buy out the child, and the two families had no relationship anymore from then on.
Only then did Ye Qing realize that Gao Hui was not only confused about the future, but was also sad about her husband's family's indifference to their children.
After Ye Qing and Gao Lizheng finished talking, they got up and went out, ready to take their people back.
