[69 Book Bar - www.] In late autumn, the days are short and the nights are long. In order to buy more kelp before the fishermen stop their boats for the winter, Tian Huairen and others have already packed Luo Shi’s pancakes and steamed buns and set off before dawn.
While her father and brother were working on the MSG business, Tian Minyan was not idle either. She took Baimei to Dizhuangzi in Niutun Village to check on the results of the second batch of kelp.
When they arrived at the entrance of Zhuangzi, they saw Yang Zhuangtou coming up to greet him. Tian Minyan smiled and asked him how he was preparing to plant winter wheat.
After Yang Zhuangtou answered them all, he asked again: "Second girl, do you have any plans for the orchard on the mountain?"
Tian Minyan was startled and looked at him: "What do you want to say?"
Yang Zhuangtou chuckled and scratched his head and said: "I have a brother who worships the master. He used to grow fruit trees at home and was also good at taking care of the orchard. When there was a disaster in his hometown, he took his mother-in-law and a maid with him.
Come join me. Although the girl also hired long-term workers, the orchard is not well taken care of and the yield is only a little. Do you think we should rent this orchard to tenants?"
Tian Minyan left behind 20 acres of paddy fields and 20 acres of mountainous land, of which five acres were orchards, mixed with some beans. The orchards were planted with plums, peaches, apricots and other trees. But the former tenant Xu did not know how to serve.
The yield was also very small. Tian Minyan took it back because no one wanted to share it, and she wanted to use it as a chicken farm or something.
She thought for a while and then said: "I originally planned to use the garden as a chicken farm. I have already contacted the chicks and they will be delivered in the next two days. Do you think?"
"It doesn't matter, chickens can't climb trees, can they? Chickens can also catch insects. In fact, he just wants to find a place to stay. If the girl likes him, he can also sign a long-term job with her.
Don't worry, he is also very honest, and that woman is also hard-working and willing to work." Yang Zhuangtou looked at her face as he spoke, and said carefully: "If the girl buys their room together, it only takes two thousand dollars.
.”
Tian Minyan thought for a while and then said: "Let him come over to meet you. I won't leave for a while."
"Hey." Yang Zhuangtou was overjoyed.
Tian Minyan asked him to go down and do some work, and she and Bai Mei walked towards the MSG workshop.
"Girl, do you want to buy another house?" Bai Mei asked as she walked and looked at Tian Minyan.
"See the person first before talking. If the person is feasible, there is no harm in buying it. Now my father and brother have gone out to buy kelp, and Xie Chengzhong has followed them. From now on, they will definitely have to go out often. There are only three long-term workers in the family but
I'm too busy, so I want to transfer two more long-term workers from here." Tian Minyan said her thoughts: "Besides, our Tian family will get better and better in the future, and the number of manpower needed will only increase, so we should train them as soon as possible.
If you hire someone who can be used, you won’t have to find someone who can be used when you need to hire someone in the future.”
She thought about it, Xie Chengzhong didn't know how to farm, but he was quick-witted and cunning, so she trained him in business so that he wouldn't be needed for farm matters. But Zhou Gui was an honest man, could take care of crops well, and was a good person.
It's reliable. After some time, she wants to make him a long-term worker or something.
This village is not big, but because she wants to keep the land for farming and raise chickens, geese and ducks, once she gets busy, there will not be enough manpower. If the people in the house mentioned by Yang Zhuangtou are available, she will do the orchard and raise livestock.
Give them food.
The most important thing is that she always has long-term plans and wants to train some reliable old associates to lay the foundation for the future.
While the two were talking, they came to the workshop. The female workers were fully armed, wearing gloves and masks, and were busy in the huge yard.
Seeing Tian Minyan coming, Sister He, the temporarily promoted foreman, came up and saluted respectfully.
Tian Minyan skipped the ceremony, took a robe that looked like a doctor's gown and put it on, put on a mask, walked towards the evaporating seaweed soup, and asked: "How are you doing with your work?"
"Girl, the weather is getting colder. It's better during the day. This place is close to the mountains, and there's still frost at night. The soup can't be left outside. Fortunately, you made a fire kang before. When the fire is burning, it evaporates very quickly.
"Then Sister He smiled and replied: "This is already three-thirds."
"Yeah." Tian Minyan took the improved crystal she handed over, picked one up with her fingernails, put it on the tip of her tongue and tasted it. The taste was more delicious than the first time she made it. It seemed that the kelp was boiled with a lot of water.
The proportion has reached the standard.
She handed the box of MSG to her and said cautiously: "In the future, we will cook it according to this proportion. Only one, and we must ensure hygiene. If any of these workers have a cold, let them rest immediately until they feel better before returning to work."
.The most important thing is, I want you to keep your mouth shut about this ratio. Even if you die, you can’t tell it. Do you understand?”
Sister He's eyes were solemn and she said: "Second Miss, don't worry, I will keep an eye on you."
Tian Minyan nodded, and explained that the MSG must be stored without getting wet, and then went to inspect other places.
"Five thousand kilograms of kelp only requires such a small amount of MSG. This is really a big difference. Girl, the price must not be lower." Bai Mei said with a sigh.
Tian Minyan glanced at her with a smile, and thought to herself, it goes without saying that the so-called rare thing is the most valuable thing, she dared to say that as long as this MSG is launched, the orders will come pouring in.
As for the promotion of MSG, she must think carefully. Now, MSG is used in the dishes on the first floor. Shopkeeper Feng wrote in a letter saying that the business is obviously much better. Even the owner of the competitor Piaoxiang Restaurant is here.
Taste it, and even pay a lot of money to ask the waiter what was used.
The waiters were all trained. When faced with such bribery, they reported it to Shopkeeper Feng, who in turn reported it to Tian Minyan for instructions.
Little did they know that Tian Minyan was eager for them to come and inquire. She immediately wrote back and said that if anyone inquired, she would generously inform them that all their dishes had an additional seasoning. This seasoning was also developed exclusively by the owner, called
MSG.
She believed that this would be spread from ten to ten, and people would spread the word about MSG without any need for advertising. She believed that MSG has already been highly anticipated before it is actually launched on the market.
But at the moment, we still need to buy the shop first. Otherwise, how can we set up a sales department for MSG? It can't be sold in their Tian family, right? How unlikeable.
"How are you doing in math? Learn it quickly, I will need your help with many things in the future." Tian Minyan asked Bai Mei while waving hello to the tenant farmers while walking in the fields.
Ever since she was born, Bai Mei has devoted herself to learning from Tian Minyan, including reading and doing accounting, as well as learning sales strategies.
"Girl, give me a test."
Tian Minyan raised her eyebrows and immediately asked a few simple arithmetic questions. Although Bai Mei answered not quickly, she did not make any mistakes. She smiled and said: "You have learned well, keep up the hard work."
Bai Mei's cold face didn't change much, but there was some relief in her eyes, and she nodded heavily.
"Second girl, please share some land with us and let us share it. I promise, we will pay the rent on time and never default on it."
Just as Tian Minyan and the others were patrolling around, several middle-aged men suddenly walked up to Tian Minyan and begged.
Suddenly, several people appeared and begged her for the land. Tian Minyan was startled. She grabbed Bai Mei's hand and took two steps back. Looking at the people in front of her, the picture flashed in her mind, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
.
"It was you who said you didn't want to rent because you thought the rent was too high. That's why I gave the land to other tenants. The contract has been signed. Where did I get the land to lease to you? Let's break up."
Yes, the few people in front of me are the ones who think that 40% rent is too expensive. They were so arrogant when they said they would not rent the land without reducing the rent, but now they are asking with shame.
Tian Minyan's face evoked a sarcastic smile. These days, no one can live without anyone, at least she can't. She despises their behavior from the bottom of her heart.
That's what it said, if you don't do it, there will be a lot of people vying to do it. Even if all the tenants refuse, she can still recruit some long-term and short-term workers to do the work. She doesn't believe it. With her own ability,
I still can’t get enough of this hundred acres of land.
The leader's name was Heizi. His face changed after hearing Tian Minyan's words. The faces of the men behind him were even grayer and dejected.
"Second girl, can't you give me a chance?" Heizi asked unwillingly.
"I once gave you a chance, but you rejected it, and I had no choice." Tian Minyan said indifferently: "I heard that landlord Chen's family also has a lot of fields. Go and ask over there. I have all the fields.
The tenant is out." After saying this, she took Bai Mei and left without looking back, without any intention of negotiating.
She didn't know that these people just went to landlord Chen's house to ask, but she didn't know that his rent was even more severe, and the harvest was 50% equal to that of the tenants. In contrast, Tian Minyan was so kind that people fell to their knees in gratitude.
.
Nowadays, Tian Minyan has no land to rent here. They are all old and young. Even if the rent is high, they can only rent the land from the landlord Chen's house.
So, some people complained, and one complaint triggered other people to criticize him one by one.
"You blame me now? What did you say when I said I wanted to rebel?" Heizi was also very annoyed. He snorted and left. The others cursed a few more times and had no choice but to disperse.
On Tian Minyan's side, Bai Mei frowned and asked: "Girl, if you refuse so clearly, are you afraid that they will become angry and have bad thoughts? This distant water cannot save the immediate fire. If they have bad intentions, we won't be able to take care of them for a moment.
.”
The rich are not afraid of the poor, but they are afraid of losing their lives. If these people unite to cause harm, they may not be worth the gain.
"Don't you see that the tenants behind Heizi are obviously dissatisfied with Heizi? Even if Heizi wants to do something, they will never listen to him again. Moreover, I had intentionally or unintentionally let the village head pass on our background.
." Tian Minyan smiled, thought for a while and then said: "But you are right, you must be on guard against others, I will tell Yang Zhuangtou to watch more closely."
After returning to the house and resting for a while, Yang Zhuangtou told him that his brother Li Daniu and his family had arrived, and Tian Minyan let them in.
Li Daniu's family came in cautiously, not daring to raise their heads. They just knelt on the ground and saluted, saying that the second girl was safe.
Tian Minyan was not a polite person, so she asked them to stand up and look over carefully.
Li Daniu was about forty years old and very lean. Perhaps due to years of hard work, his skin was tanned and he was rubbing his hands nervously.
Look at Aunt Li, who is in her mid-thirties, with her hair tied up in a bun with a wooden hairpin. She is petite, has a low eyebrow, and has extremely big feet.
As for Miss Li, I heard her name was Li Cao'er. She looked about thirteen or fourteen years old. Her thick black hair was tied into a big braid. She also had a pair of big feet. Her skin was darker, so she wasn't timid at all. She used black paint.
His big eyes stared at Tian Minyan.
Tian Minyan smiled at her. She seemed a little embarrassed. She stretched her hands behind her, pulled the braid behind her waist and twisted it in front of her chest. It was a thick braid that reached her waist.
"I heard from Yang Zhuangtou that you used to grow fruit trees. Can you tell me what to do if there are insects on this tree?" Tian Minyan took a sip of tea and asked Li Daniu.
Li Daniu was stunned for a moment, looked up and saw that the two girls were younger than his own daughter. He was surprised and lowered his head again, and said honestly: "Of course I have to catch bugs. In addition to this, I have to use some quicklime to make a paste.
Block the wormholes, otherwise, if you catch one, a second one will grow..."
He spoke a little slowly, but in a clear and logical manner, and explained clearly how to take care of a fruit tree.
Tian Minyan nodded and said: "I can see that, Uncle Li, you are really good at planting fruit trees. Only Zhuangzi like me is different. I think you have heard that I also set aside dozens of acres of land for my own cooking, even though I also invited
I am a long-term worker, but when I get busy, I may not be able to keep up with it. In that case, are you willing to follow me?"
"That's natural. Our whole family will help with the work."
"That's when I'm too busy. I also want to raise some chickens, geese, and ducks on the slope below the orchard, because there are also fish ponds dug there, which are convenient for raising. I want to give you a room for these, but do you have any?
Are you sure you have enough supplies?" Tian Minyan briefly explained her plan.
"Okay, my mother-in-law and girls were used to doing this in the past. Just ask me, girl." Li Daniu said cheerfully.
Tian Minyan hummed and drank two more sips of tea. Just when Li Daniu thought she didn't want their family, she said: "In that case, Mr. Yang Zhuang, please take them down to settle down, and we will set up the contract later.
You are already familiar with Zhuangzi, so you can tell him how you want to serve him."
When Yang Zhuangtou heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly said to Li Daniu: "If you don't thank the second girl, the girls will be our masters from now on."
Li Daniu reacted and hurriedly pulled the woman beside him to kneel down and kowtow.
Yang Zhuangtou asked his mother-in-law to lead Li Daniu and his family down to settle down, and then listened to Tian Minyan's instructions.
Tian Minyan came here mainly to see the MSG workshop. She also trusted Yang Zhuangtou's ability in other matters. She only gave a few instructions to the MSG workshop to keep people away and not to let the contents inside leak out.
"Second girl, my wife has sent someone to ask you to go home immediately after handling the matter." Yang Zhuangtou's wife suddenly walked in and said.
There is one more chapter, it will be out at about forty minutes, don’t wait everyone, just rest~
