The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

Lu Qingqing agreed to buy this batch of silk after careful consideration.

In the past two months, she has collected more and more silk fabrics.

In addition to the increased amounts of material handed over by the women in her own village, even people from Xingjia Village began to send her material.

Therefore, she would send more materials to the two cloth shops almost every month.

In addition, Zhuzi's wife, Aunt Lu and her daughter, Shi Xiu'er, Bai Xing'er and others all bought dyed silk and started weaving at home.

In other words, the village will hand over even more silk this month.

Besides, she hadn't delivered this month's silk to the cloth shop yet, so she could save some money later.

It should be no problem to collect the amount of silk that Sun Xingjian requires before the ship sets sail next month.

After seeing off Sun Xingjian and the other two, Lu Qingqing went directly to the pharmaceutical factory.

She found Manager Hua and told him that she planned to start work early.

Manager Hua thought about how Yu Hongjun had asked him to follow Lu Qingqing's arrangements before he left, so he naturally had no objection to this.

He took Lu Qingqing to look at several built factory buildings and determined what each location was used for.

Then, he took Lu Qingqing to see the place where medicinal herbs were stored.

The medicinal herbs that were brought by the carriage were moved into the first house when it was built.

Therefore, what Lu Qingqing saw at this moment was a neatly organized medicinal materials warehouse.

The warehouse is lined with neatly arranged wooden shelves, and the rows of shelves are filled with medicinal herbs.

All kinds of medicinal materials are tightly packed, and the names of the medicines are written on the outside of the packaging, making it easy to see at a glance.

When Manager Hua saw Lu Qingqing watching, he introduced:

"Manager Lu, this is the first batch of medicinal herbs, and the subsequent medicinal herbs have been prepared in the capital.

Once we have completed the construction here, the second batch of medicinal materials will be shipped here."

Lu Qingqing nodded and asked in detail about the current situation of the pharmaceutical factory employees.

Manager Hua naturally had already understood his employees a long time ago.

The employees will be introduced according to their positions and abilities.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Lu Qingqing's expression and said:

"Manager Lu, since our pharmaceutical factory is about to reopen, would you like to give a speech to the employees?"

Lu Qingqing waved her hand and let the meeting go.

In my previous life, I spent every day listening to my boss making empty promises in meetings. It was a complete waste of time.

There is nothing we can’t do during meeting time!

Besides, her pills don't really rely on medicinal ingredients.

To put it bluntly, these pills will work as long as the employees don't mix poison with them.

Thinking of this, she walked towards the pharmacy that originally belonged to her.

Now, it is naturally empty inside.

Seeing this, Manager Hua was afraid that Lu Qingqing would be unhappy, so he thought about going to Yining County to buy a house temporarily, but was rejected by Lu Qingqing.

All the furniture and equipment for this pharmaceutical factory were decided long before construction began.

There is really no need to spend more money to get another set.

Lu Qingqing thought for a moment and said:

"Manager Hua, please vacate my room.

For the remaining rooms, you arrange for people to clean them up and then have the employees start processing the medicinal materials.

After all the medicinal materials are processed, the processed medicinal material slurry will be brought to this room.

I'll add some more medicine when the time comes."

After hearing this, Manager Hua knew that the added medicine was the key to the magic of this pill.

Thinking of the prince's attitude before leaving the palace, he hurriedly bowed and said:

"Don't worry, Manager Lu, I'll arrange for people to start cleaning up right away.

After finishing the cleaning, we will start processing the herbs immediately. We estimate that the first batch of herbs will be ready around 3 p.m.."

After the two of them settled the matter, Lu Qingqing walked around the pharmaceutical factory again before starting to head home.

On the way back, I passed by the place where Aunt Zhang and Hu Laosan built their house, and happened to meet Aunt Zhang coming over with some cooled mung bean soup.

When Aunt Zhang saw Lu Qingqing, she hurriedly asked her to stop.

She swiftly scooped a large bowl of mung bean soup and handed it to Lu Qingqing, saying:

"Daya, it's very hot. Have a bowl of mung bean soup to cool down."

Lu Qingqing looked at the mung beans that were almost broken into pieces, took the bowl and drank it up in one gulp.

At this time, she noticed that Li Fusheng and Hu Laosan, who had been helping to build the house, were not there.

At this time, the fields are very hot and people should not be working in the fields.

Lu Qingqing asked with some doubts:

"Aunt Zhang, where are Uncle Li and Uncle Hu?"

Aunt Zhang heard this and explained with a smile:

"The Sun family has already set up a shop in Yining County, and the shipping business is about to be restarted. Now is the time when they are in need of people.

Hu Laosan was called away by Young Master Sun and continued to be the bowman.

As for my old man Li, he was also called over by Young Master Sun to help the Sun family with some work."

As the two were chatting, they saw Aunt Zhang's son Li Chengye running back with a red face.

He first ran around the foundation of the house, but didn't find anyone, so he hurried back.

Seeing Lu Qingqing chatting with his mother, he glanced at her warily.

Then he pulled his mother aside and said anxiously:

"Mom, where is Young Master Sun?"

Aunt Zhang pointed in the direction of Yining County and said:

"Young Master Sun left and returned to Yining County!"

Li Chengye pointed to the foundation of the house behind him and asked anxiously:

"What about my dad? Why can't I see him?"

Aunt Zhang replied, "Your father was called away by Young Master Sun, so he went to do some work."

Li Chengye was so angry after hearing what his mother said that he slapped his thigh and said anxiously:

"Mom, Master Sun is here to find someone to do some work, why don't you go and call me!"

Seeing her son like this, Aunt Zhang knew what he was thinking. She took his hand and said earnestly:

"Son, you know what happened before.

I think you should stop going to the Sun family!"

Li Chengye suddenly shook off his mother's hand and said angrily:

"If I don't go to the Sun family, what do you want me to do? Follow you to farm every day?

Or do you want to be like them and go out and build houses for people to earn a few copper coins?"

Aunt Zhang was caught off guard and staggered, but she quickly regained her balance.

She looked at her son and said with some disappointment:

"Chengye, your father and I naturally don't want you to live a miserable life like us.

We have advised you many times to go to school and study hard like Dazhuang.

But you never listened to it..."

Before she could continue, Li Chengye shouted irritably:

"Okay, study, study. What else do you know besides studying all day long?

There are plenty of ways to make money in the world. Can you please have a long-term vision?

Let me ask you again, did my father really follow Young Master Sun back to the Sun family?

Where is the address of the Sun family's house?"

Aunt Zhang looked at her excited son, suppressed her emotions, and comforted him:

"I really don't know the address of the Sun family. Besides, even if you go there, your father won't let you stay there.

Listen to what your mother said, if you really feel bored in the village.

How about going to Yining School like Dazhuang?"
