A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman
Chapter 58 Huang Baomin
At the beginning of the Si hour, Old Wang came, but he did not drive a carriage.
Old Wang and Fang Zheng sat in the front room, showing Fang Zheng the way and teaching him some driving skills. Fang Zheng's skills were not good enough to drive a carriage completely independently, so Old Wang had to teach him for a while before he dared to let him drive alone to pick up Huang Bo.
The construction of the new house is in full swing. People from the village often come to watch. They also hope that the workshop can be built as soon as possible so that they can get a job there.
Huang Bo and his companions took the things off the carriage, and Lao Wang and Fang Zheng went back to the town first, mainly to walk around a few more times so that Fang Zheng would be more familiar with it.
After greeting Lao Tian and chatting with him for a while, he didn't bother them anymore as he had other things to do today.
Huang Baomin is a relative of Huang Bochu, seven years younger than him. They have a good relationship and live in a house at the back of the village.
When Huang Bo arrived, the couple was making tofu and there was a baby a few years old playing by himself in the yard. The elderly people were not there, probably working in the fields or visiting neighbors.
"Baomin, are you there?"
Huang Bo shouted outside the door.
"exist."
Huang Baomin heard the voice, replied, washed his hands and walked out of his small workshop.
"Brother Bozi, how come you have time to come here?"
The whole village knew that Huang Bo's family was building a large-scale project. They also knew that he had temporarily moved to the town. Although he returned to the village every day, he also helped out on the homestead.
"I want to talk to you about something, is that convenient?"
"It's convenient. Come in and sit down."
The two of them went to the main room. Huang Baomin poured two glasses of water, handed one to Huang Bo, and asked, "Brother, what do you want?"
Huang Bo didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose.
He wanted Huang Baomin to work in the workshop and make tofu.
The raw material of fermented bean curd is old tofu, and it is not cost-effective to buy it in large quantities, so Huang Mulin and Huang Bo discussed and decided to let Huang Baomin go to the workshop to make tofu and pay him a monthly salary of three taels of silver.
Huang Baomin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Huang Bo came for this.
This is feasible.
He made tofu at home and sold it to villagers, and he lived a decent life.
It’s just a little difficult to earn more.
Xiushan Village is far from the town, and it is too strenuous to carry the tofu on foot. Riding on a bullock cart on a bumpy road can easily damage the tofu, which makes it difficult to sell. In the end, he will lose money, so he has no choice but to give up. He usually only sells in the village, or carries the tofu to nearby villages.
However, after spending all year round, what can be saved is only one or two taels of silver, and Huang Bo's monthly salary is three taels!
It's a good thing that you can't find even with a lantern.
Huang Baomin was very happy, but he also had to discuss this matter with his family, so he told Huang Bo frankly.
"Brother Bozi, I am willing, but I have to discuss it with my family. Can I give you a reply tomorrow?"
"No problem." Huang Bo nodded: "Don't worry, it will take some time to build the workshop. Think about it carefully and tell me a few days later."
After bidding farewell to Huang Baomin, Huang Bo went to the fields at the end of the village to find Jiang Dayou.
Now is the soybean planting season. Huang Bo hired ten long-term workers for Jiang Dayou to arrange. He was busy in the past few days and did not come here to see if Jiang Dayou could arrange it.
Huang Bo saw him at a glance and walked forward.
"Brother-in-law," he called out, "Are you still busy enough?"
Jiang Dayou raised his head from the field and replied, "No problem. The fertilizer has been buried in the field and the soil has been loosened. The seedlings can be planted in two days."
The two chatted about the fields for a while and confirmed that Jiang Dayou could handle it by himself. Huang Bo also said that if they needed anything, they could go to the homestead to find him and he would arrange to buy it and send it over.
In addition, he asked Lao Tian to come here in a few days to build a few sunshade sheds, an earthen stove for making tea, and a few long recliners for sleeping, so that Jiang Dayou and the farmhands would have a place to rest and drink water.
Jiang Dayou was grateful for Huang Bo's thoughtfulness, and he was even more determined to grow the crops well.
Fulfilling days passed one after another, and a month later, five horse-drawn carriages drove from the town entrance at North Street all the way to South Street.
The leader was Yu Min who went to pick people up.
Also in the car were Tang Jide and his servant.
They first went to the embroidery shop and met Yu Zhenzhou and Yang Lijun.
Tang Jide never expected that Yang Lijun was actually in Linhai Town, and it seemed that she had lived here for quite some time.
The last time he came here, he did not meet anyone except Huang Bo's family. Although Tang Qian also briefly mentioned the embroidery shop they often visited, Tang Qian had never met Yu Zhenzhou and his wife, nor did he know the relationship between Tang Jide and the couple, so he did not elaborate.
Totally missed.
Fortunately, he was thinking of finding Yu Zhenzhou to confirm the matter of fermented bean curd at that time, otherwise he would have missed a lot of things.
Of course, there are even more shocking things.
The little girl Huang Mulin is actually Yang Lijun’s adopted daughter!
She is also Yu Zhenzhou's adopted daughter.
So, Tang Qian was warned by Yang Lijun at the beginning.
Tang Jide still broke out in a cold sweat when he recalled it. Fortunately, Tang Qian had acted prudently and been a decent person over the years, otherwise their Tang family might have disappeared from this world.
Here, Yu Zhenzhou sent Tang Jide back to rest, and took Yang Lijun to pick out some things suitable for Huang Mulin and her family from the box they brought, and went to the Huang family cafeteria.
The guests who had lunch had already left. The two servants had almost finished cleaning up, so they moved a stool and sat down by the gate to rest for a while, just in time to see a carriage approaching.
When they arrived at the gate, Yu Min stopped the carriage, opened the door, and let Yu Zhenzhou and Yang Lijun get off.
The servant hurried over and helped the driver move all the things in the cart to the backyard.
He Hui Niang and others were about to take a rest after dinner when they saw Yu Zhenzhou and his wife walk in.
"have you eaten yet?"
She asked, rising to greet him.
"I've eaten." Yang Lijun pulled her over and said, "We're all family, don't be polite."
"Where's Mumu?"
"Just went upstairs." He Hui Niang said with a smile: "This girl has been so mysterious these days, I don't know what she's been doing."
Then she saw Yu Min and the servants moving large boxes into the main hall in the backyard.
He asked doubtfully, "Is this for Mu Mu?"
"No, Zhenzhou brought it from the capital."
He Hui Niang glanced at Yu Zhenzhou in surprise, then looked at the big box in the main room, and her head started to hurt a little.
They must be valuables, how can we break them?
There's no place to hide treasure at home!
Perhaps He Huiniang was a little too emotional, and Yang Lijun guessed what she was thinking and couldn't help laughing out loud.
This family's focus on treasure has always been somewhat peculiar.
"It's okay, it's not something particularly valuable, and no one saw it when I came in just now, so don't worry."
Yang Lijun spoke to comfort He Huiniang.
Huang Mulin, who was upstairs, heard the noise, went downstairs, and saw a pile of boxes in the hall. He was very curious.
