"Miss Su, the people in our village are very busy. Just tell me. If you want a few, I will call them for you right now. Don't worry, they are all good at work with quick hands and feet."
When Mrs. Jiang next to her heard this, she immediately became anxious and pushed Mr. Yan aside.
"Miss Su, do you think I can do it? Even though I don't look good, there is no one in our village who can do better than me in terms of work."
This is Jiang, Jin Qianzhang's daughter-in-law. She has an average appearance. If you didn't look at the face and looked at her from the back, you would think she was a man. She is in her thirties, but you can tell by her clothes that she has a quick temper.
"Okay, let's count Aunt Jiang."
Now the women next to me couldn't sit still anymore. Every word you said and I praised myself to the sky.
Jinjia Village is just that big, and Su Yu doesn't mind the crowd. As long as the person is not too bad, she agrees.
Niu was sitting under the tree and didn't have the nerve to come forward. She had not forgotten that the day Su Yu first moved to the village, she had offended people so badly. They were recruiting people, but even if she wanted to come forward, she couldn't keep his face off. Su Yu didn't even think about looking for Niu, so he just pretended that he couldn't see him.
"Aunts, help me go to the village and ask. Anyone who thinks of working in my workshop can sign up with me. I have a lot of work, so you don't have to worry about running out of work."
Several people were relieved when they heard that the work was great, but they were afraid that they would have no work to do.
"Don't worry, Miss Su, we'll be there early tomorrow morning."
"The aunts are busy, so I'll go back first."
When more than twenty women arrived at the workshop the next morning, they were shocked when they saw the ten big fat pigs brought by the butcher. How much bacon was Miss Su going to make?
"Miss Su, we are here."
Su Yu counted and found that there were twenty-five people coming. Each of them had their hair tightly wrapped in a scarf according to their own requirements, and their long nails were also trimmed.
"Divide yourselves into groups of ten, and others will be in groups of five."
Those who were usually close to each other formed a group, and the twenty-five people were divided into four groups.
"In the row of houses in front of you, starting from the first one, the three groups of five people in front will enter the first three rooms, and the ten people in the back will enter the fourth room. I will come over later and tell you what to do."
After Su Yu saw someone entering the house, he went to the first room first.
"Aunts, what you have to do is quite simple, that is, grind the spices on the cutting board in front of you into powder. Before grinding, stir-fry it in a large pot next to it. It will be much easier when grinding."
All five women breathed a sigh of relief. This job is simple and not complicated at all.
After the explanation, Su Yu entered the second room. Seeing Su Yu come in, the five people stopped chatting. They did not forget that they came to Su's house to work.
"Aunts, you go outside later and bring in the modified pork belly, ribs, and ham, and just apply the seasoning evenly. The big basin in front of you is full of seasoning. If it's not enough, come and get it with me."
"Don't worry, Miss Su, we make bacon every year and we will make it for you."
The people in the third room are responsible for boiling the oil residue. There is a row of large vats against the east wall. The boiled oil can be poured directly into the vats. After cooling, it is used to make soap, and then there are pig waste and other things. Intestine, there is a bamboo pipe on the west side of the wall, which receives the spring water from the mountain outside. The water keeps flowing, and there is a long sink underneath. If the water inside is full, there is a water outlet on the other side, just pull out the plug. , very convenient.
As for the people in the last room, they are responsible for making sausages. There are two oversized chopping boards on the left and right sides of the room, one for cutting meat and the other for enema.
After everything was explained, Su Yu went to the bacon-making house. It is very simple to marinate bacon and bacon ribs. You only need to spread the seasonings evenly on them, put them in a tank on the side, and wait until tomorrow to take them outside for smoking. The people on the ham side had never done it before, so Su Yu was a little worried. After being taught a lesson, Su Yu felt more at ease.
As for the two butchers who brought the pork, they both brought their own boys with them. Otherwise, one person would be very tired after finishing five pigs.
All the washed pig waste was delivered to the small rented yard. There were two simple stoves set up in the corner of the yard. Wu would do the braising. Su Yu had taught him two days ago. After mixing the seasonings, put them in the pot and occasionally watch the fire.
Everyone in the Su family was busy, and Bai Mo was not idle either. He recruited a few young men in the village and started building a duck house by the river not far from the workshop. The duck eggs were already hatching. It would be impossible not to build the duck house now. Moreover, Bai Mo has seen the Su family's duck house and knows how to build it, so Su Yu can worry less if it is left in Bai Mo's hands.
At the end of the day, the women who had been recruited were finally able to take advantage of it, and Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
I haven't dared to go to the city even though I'm hatching duck eggs these days. I have to put my plan to rent a shop for a while, and I also plan to buy a few more martial arts servants who can't do it now. Su Yu occasionally had to take time to visit the pig farm under construction at the foot of the back mountain.
The pig houses were built with green bricks fired in brick kilns. Many villagers in Jinjia Village felt distressed. They were just pigs, so how could they be used to live in them? Even the village chief’s house in their village was built with earth-based houses. No one in the village felt distressed. It's built with blue bricks.
Su Yu's explanation was that the home-made soil foundation was not strong enough and could easily be damaged by pigs. It would have to cost money to repair it, so it was better to use blue bricks from the beginning. The villagers in Jinjia Village have never raised pigs on a large scale. Some people believe what Su Yu said, and some don't, but no one will speak out against it at this time.
The villagers of Jinjia Village are not idle either. They plan to rebuild their yard. They originally planned to use their own soil foundation, but now it seems that the pig pens are made of blue bricks. It would be a bit unreasonable to use soil foundation again. Besides, if you use home-made soil foundation, a small courtyard can only be built to last for more than ten taels. The thieves are not fools. How much money do they have on hand that they can't count? So after all the families got together to discuss, they decided to be extravagant and build brick houses.
Orders for brick and tile kilns in three nearby villages soared, making several owners happy.
Therefore, Qingzhuang from Jinjia Village was not idle either. They made an appointment to go up the mountain to cut wood together in the morning. Generally, one Qingzhuang came from a family, so the wood cut from the mountain was not divided into yours and mine. All the wood was pulled to the river at the foot of the mountain. Soak it and it will be useful when building a house.
Old Man Jin was alone. Seeing that people in the village were busy building new houses, he was also a little enthusiastic, but he was too old to go up the mountain to cut trees, so he simply bought two kilograms of meat for each of the people who went up to the mountain to cut trees, and asked them to help him bring it to him. Get some wood and use it to build a house when the time comes. He couldn't build a few houses, so he built three houses on top of the sky. Of course, it was difficult to refuse from a village, so the villagers also took Old Man Jin's share.
Everyone in the family is busy and has no time to sell the braised pig offal. Su Yu doesn’t want to sell it to the villagers at this moment. The main reason is that she has more money now and wants to save more money.
After thinking about it, Su Yu thought of a place, which was the Imperial College where his eldest brother studied. He had occasionally heard his eldest brother say before that Liu Jiujiu from the Imperial College was more popular. Besides, there were also many students in the Imperial College, so the total was almost the same. There are more than a thousand people. What does her amount mean? She can do this business.
