After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 46: Setting the Table

"Oh, so this is what my name is. It's so pretty!"

"From now on, when you come to work, you will enter the workshop with this work badge. After entering, use the ink at the bottom to stamp the paper you bring in."

Shen Tang also referred to the attendance clocking system of later generations.

The people in Shenjia Village all brought some relatives with them, and sometimes the farmers were not well educated, so there would inevitably be certain difficulties in management.

Therefore, we must implement this system well from the very beginning.

"Also, the work contract has been drafted, and I have something to say upfront."

"You come to the workshop to work, but once you leave, if your family asks you what you did, you are not allowed to tell them. If anyone leaks the information, you will be fined 1,000 taels of silver, and I will report you to the authorities."

A fine of one thousand taels of silver!

The group of women who had been happy just now suddenly fell silent.

"Look at what you said. We have good money to earn, so why are you saying this?"

"Besides, I'm the breadwinner for the family now, so my husband has to keep his opinions to himself!"

This made everyone burst into laughter.

But when they thought about it, it was true!

Nowadays they are making a lot of money outside, six taels of silver a year, they can’t save that much in two years!

"Once the workshop is doing well and making money, everyone's wages will increase accordingly. I, Shen Tang, will keep my word!"

Shen Tang felt that what he said was becoming more and more like the pie-in-the-sky capitalists of later generations.

I couldn't help but despise myself.

"Five hundred wen and the wages can be increased!"

"Tang girl, the price has risen so much, you are going to die!"

Shen Tang smiled but said nothing.

I'm afraid you don't know the profit of soap.

Shen Tang also called Madam Wang and a few others.

"From now on, the three aunts will be busy cooking for everyone. We will buy rice, flour and vegetables every day, so you just need to let go and cook!"

"Also, we're having a wedding banquet at home in a couple of days, and we'd like to invite the three aunts to help out!"

Once a farmer says he wants to set up a banquet, it will definitely be a buffet for the whole village.

Several people nodded hurriedly.

After the crowd dispersed, Shen Tang and Qin Wanwan also went home.

"I need to buy five pigs, and plenty of vegetables, tofu, and radishes."

Liu, Shen Qingqing and Aunt Guihua were calculating how many vegetables to buy.

"We also need to buy a few large jars of wine!"

This time the banquet not only entertained the entire village, but also the craftsmen who helped.

"By the way, Tangtang, don't forget to inform Master Li."

Shen Tang nodded. She had already informed Master Li early in the morning.

Master Li also agreed to attend the banquet with his whole family.

The banquet was scheduled for the evening, but early in the morning, every household carried tables, chairs and benches to the large open space in front of the village ancestral hall.

Outside the Shen family ancestral hall, there is a large open space, which is used every year for ancestor worship and major events.

A workshop was built in Shenjia Village, which was a major event since the establishment of Shenjia Village.

The village head discussed with the village elders and decided to vacate the vacant land for Shen Tang to use for the banquet.

It is said that our ancestors would be happy to see it!

Shen Dashan and Liu were both popular in the village, and Liu mentioned this when ordering the dishes.

The vegetables brought by the villagers had already been washed clean.

Aunt Guihua and a group of other sisters-in-law in the village got up before dawn to grind soy milk and make tofu.

This buffet was not only the first of its kind in Shenjia Village, but also the first in the surrounding area.

The faces of several elders were red all day long, and they went to visit the neighboring village early in the morning.

Mrs. Wang started kneading the dough in the morning and continued until noon.

She had never seen so much white flour in her life. More than 100 kilograms of white flour were used.

Just when Madam Wang thought that they were going to steam big white buns, Shen Tang told her to brush them with lard and sprinkle them with chopped green onions to make flower rolls!

She couldn't even imagine how delicious white flour and lard would be.

In the entire Shenjia Village, only a few families cook at noon, and everyone is waiting for the dinner in the evening.

As the sun sets, the entire Shenjia Village is filled with the aroma of rice, flour, wine and meat.

The area outside the ancestral hall was already full of people, except for two empty tables at the top.

One is for inviting ancestors, and the other is for clan elders and the host family.

"It's time to serve!"

The entire ancestral hall fell silent, everyone stretched their necks, and the children were pressed down on the table by the adults.

On the large tray, there were bowls of glossy and tender braised pork, followed by braised lion's head, pickled duck, sweet and sour fish...

"Gulu."

Someone swallowed.

This meal is so good!

You can’t even eat such good food during Chinese New Year!

Mr. and Mrs. Li sat at one table with the clan elders, while Mr. and Mrs. Shen, along with Shen Tang, also walked towards the main table.

After several elders learned that such a large workshop was built with the help of Shen Tang, their eyes changed.

"I don't have anything good to give you as a gift. I just wrote a couplet myself. If you don't mind, please accept it."

Master Li teased.

"Master, this is too serious. It is an honor for me to have you here."

But the elders of the clan are all shrewd people. Master Li calls Shen Tang the shopkeeper, and they are still relying on their seniority, which is just a slap in their own face.

"If you ask me, our Shenjia Village might all be counting on Shen Tang in the future!"

The elders of the four tribes spoke with a smile, and the others responded.

Shen Tang was also smiling. He personally poured wine for everyone at the table and raised his glass.

"Today is a great day for my Shen Tang family. First of all, I would like to thank my parents for not giving up on me and for loving me as always for over ten years. I would also like to thank all the villagers for their care and tolerance for Shen Tang over the years. I would also like to thank Master Li for teaching me to read and understand how to distinguish right from wrong. Without you, there would be no Tangji Workshop."

"Shen Tang is not good at speaking, but all his words are in this wine. I toast to everyone!"

I also salute the dreamlike era that I can never go back to, and the glorious years that I will live without any worries in the future.

Everyone raised their glasses in response.

"I'm sorry for the poor hospitality today. If I have the chance in the future, I'll prepare good food and wine to entertain you all!"

As he was speaking, Shen Tang signaled Shen Dashan to pick up the first chopsticks.

Everyone only put down their chopsticks after seeing the host table start eating.

They rushed to the meat dishes such as braised pork and pickled duck.

"Well!!"

too delicious!

It’s no wonder that they chose the best cook in the village to do it.

Not only that, Liu also used thirteen spices in this banquet, so the taste is naturally beyond words.

"Hanamaki is here!"

The steaming steamer is filled with the aroma of lard, green onions and thirteen spices.

They can brag about this for the rest of their lives!

Shen Tang sat at the main table, watching the village head and several elders looking at her with shining eyes.

After hesitating for a while, Shen Tang finally spoke.

"Uncle Village Head, several elders. I want to tell you something. After the workshop opens, I will allocate a portion of the profits to the village's development."

"Tangji will use the first profit from the project to repair the road."

The pupils of the village head and several elders were shocked, as if they couldn't believe it.

Then, the village head exchanged glances with several elders and spoke,

"Shen Tang, girls are not supposed to be included in the family tree, but since you have set up a workshop, it is really as you said. I will open an ancestral hall, invite the ancestors, and record you in the family tree."

At this time, the village head had not realized that before the road was built, he was already eager to enter Shen Tang in the family tree.
