Chapter 197
Lizheng was thinking that the ketchup should not be leaked out. He was clearly busy with his uncle's Zhongju during this period of time, and he happened to be harvesting rice in the village, so he forgot about it.
Lin Xiazhi wouldn't just make trouble for Lizheng. Lizheng waited for the big guy to calm down a little before talking about the tomato sauce workshop.
The ketchup workshop is not like the bean workshop. It is a fund-raising division. The ketchup workshop is built with the village's money. It can only be done during the tomato harvest season. The result of Lizheng's discussion with the clan elders is that the Lin family is divided into two groups. Accounted for [-]%.
The rest of the money is divided between the tomato growers and the workers in the tomato paste workshop. The quantity of tomatoes provided to the workshop and the number of working days are the basis for the final distribution of money.
This means that if the tomato workshops in the village make more money, the tomato growers and workers will get more money, instead of just selling fresh tomatoes or doing work, they can only get a fixed amount of money.
This method was discussed by Lizheng and the elders of the clan for a long time, and it was a bit unexpected.
Lin Xiazhi thought about it again, and once again marveled at the wisdom of the ancients. He mentioned a little bit before, and they could think of a better way based on this.
Although the villagers do not have any members of the tomato sauce workshop, they can directly share the profits of the tomato sauce workshop, which can arouse their enthusiasm for the tomato sauce workshop.
Every household transported the tomatoes they picked to the tomato workshop. Since they had accumulated tomatoes for several days, the few people in the tomato paste workshop would definitely not be able to deal with them. Cutting board and kitchen knife to help cut tomatoes.
These people came here voluntarily to help, but after thinking about it, Lizheng decided to help them in the workshop, and he couldn't let the big guys suffer.
The ketchup from the three workshops came out of the pot at the same time. Everyone was a little dumbfounded seeing the steaming ketchup in the pot.
An idiot who was busy removing seeds from tomatoes outside heard that there was no movement inside, so he poked his head in curiously.
The villager who was in charge of boiling tomatoes pulled him in: "Three idiots, it seems that there is no tomato sauce in our workshop?"
The third fool scratched his head, as if that was the case: "You guys go to work first, I'll ask the uncle."
When Lizheng heard the news, he hurried over with the three idiots, but he really didn't have any jars for tomato sauce.
Li Zheng slapped his head, and hurriedly ordered: "Which one of you has a big clay pot that has been cleaned, first get it to put tomato sauce in it, and I will go to the county right away."
Then he went home immediately, put the cattle in the family on the cart, and drove the cart to the county seat.
On the way, he wished he could put wings on his old scalper's back, let him go faster, and arrive at the pottery workshop in the county seat earlier.
This pottery shop was recommended by the Lin family to Lizheng. He had been thinking about going to the county seat in advance to order the pottery pots, but he forgot when he was too busy. It would be a shame to have to wait in line for jars of sauce.
Fortunately, Taofang has just expanded its workshop, and there are not many orders in hand. It has been making small clay pots for the Lin family for so long, and the workers are also familiar with how to burn small clay pots. He can make half of it in three days.
Three days were fine, Lizheng got the words from the owner of the Taofang and his heart was finally relieved, he paid the deposit and rushed back to the village to see if there was anything he forgot about the workshop.
Everyone worked together, and on the day the workshop started to operate, the accumulated tomatoes were processed, all boiled into tomato sauce, and packed in several large jars.
These jars were made by the Lin family to make sauerkraut and kimchi. I just washed a few and dried them, so I lent them to the tomato sauce workshop in the village for emergency.
In the past, the bean shop in the village made dried bean curd sticks and bean stalks, which can be wrapped directly with oiled paper or cloth. Liquid things like tomato sauce must not be like this, and bottles must be used.
This is the first time for Linjiacun to make tomato sauce, and there are many problems in the rush.
The next day, Lin Chengzu took the initiative to go over to have a look, and if he found something wrong, he would point it out, so that everyone would not be able to make much money after working hard for a while.
With Lin Chengzu's guidance, the tomato sauce workshop finally went smoothly.
After two days, the ketchup workshop does not need the help of Frans, and only needs the workshop staff to make ketchup.
Cutting tomatoes and removing seeds are meticulous work, but cooking tomato sauce is physical work. When Li Zheng was recruiting, he struggled for a while, whether to recruit a brother or a man. After discussing with the elders of the same clan, he decided to recruit a man. I believe that after some practice, it should be able to do well.
Lin Xiazhi glanced at Li Zheng's decision, and finally said nothing. People in this era don't let my brother go out to do things. Obviously, my brother is not weaker than a man. Should he think of something that he can only let his brother do? come out.
The tomatoes grown in the field were ripening one after another, and it was time for the Lin family's peppers and the corn planted in Weijia Village to be harvested.
Peppers, like tomatoes, need to be picked diligently every day after they start to mature, and they cannot be hung all the time.
Every morning and evening, Lin Xiazhi asked the servants of the family to go to the field, and they could almost collect the chili peppers of the day, which didn't take much time.
The harvested peppers are the same as last year, keeping the seeds and making chili sauce, so busy that each of them has become a rabbit's eye again.
Lin Xiazhi understands that those who touch the chili peppers will burn their fingers and eyes. When Zhao Da was asked to pay wages, all those who helped pick the chili peppers would be paid an extra half a month, and those who handled the chili peppers would be paid an extra month.
The master is generous, and the members of the Lin family are naturally happy. They are more active when they are working one by one. The chili sauce is prepared one by one and stored in a cool brick room.
Lin Xiazhi personally made the peppers under the watchful eyes of others. As for the corn planted in Weijia Village, Lin Xiazhi was not so enthusiastic.
However, before Lin Xiazhi could say anything, Lin Huzi discussed it with Li Xiu himself, and hired a few honest people from Weijia Village to help him collect it.
This has made great progress. People like Lin Huzi, who are reluctant to spend a few dollars all their lives, will realize that it is easier for them to hire people to do the work.
Lin Xiazhi praised Lin Huzi in front of Li Xiu.
In the end, Li Xiu told Lin Xiazhi: "Actually, your father is worried that it will be too late for him and the two previously hired people. When the corn is rotten, he will feel even more distressed."
It turned out that it was not for his own relaxation, Lin Xiazhi smiled, and it turned out that the nature of the country is easy to change.
"Anyway, he didn't think that he would accept it himself after exhausting himself." Li Xiu said with a smile.
In the past, the main house of the Lin family had ten acres of paddy fields, and it was entirely up to Lin Huzi and Lin Chengzu's father and son to do the work. Occasionally, he would go to help out after finishing the family work, so that he could barely finish the work in the field.
When harvesting, I have to go to the field before dawn. I can only rest at the hottest hour of noon all day, and I don’t go home until dark at night. No matter how tired I am, I have to grit my teeth to finish.
It was at that time that Lin Huzi developed the habit of doing the work in the field by himself. Later, the conditions for starting a business at home gradually improved, but Lin Huzi was still unwilling to hire people.
After being scolded several times by Lin Xiazhi, and Lin Chengzu kept persuading him, he reluctantly agreed to hire someone.
Now he can realize by himself that hiring someone is not in vain for Lin Chengzu and Lin Xiazhi to transform him for a long time.
This time harvesting corn, the people of Weijia Village once again saw the high yield of the Lin family's seeds. Ten mu of land harvested nearly [-] catties of corn, almost twice as much as everyone else.
Seeing that others have gained twice as much as themselves, everyone felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching.
However, Lin Xiazhi looked at the output value indicated on the golden finger, and it still didn't break 29, only a pitiful [-]. The road to improving seeds is still long, so don't slack off.
The family in Weijia Village who was almost married to the Lin family has now taken the initiative to ease their relationship with the Lin family.
It was only later that they learned from Wei Fulang that the youngest Lin's words could not represent the Lin family, and the knots in their hearts gradually dissipated.
Lin Huzi and Li Xiu felt ashamed of the family, and it was difficult for them to discuss this matter with Lin Chengzu, so Li Xiu approached Lin Xiazhi and asked him how to deal with it.
"Ah, do you and Dad have any dissatisfaction with that family?" Lin Xiazhi is not familiar with that family, and has never met him twice. How can he have any opinion? It depends on Lin Huzi and Li Xiu's.
Li Xiu shook his head: "We were wrong at the beginning, so that he was scolded by your youngest for no reason. I don't have the nerve to be dissatisfied with others. Your father thinks the same way. We should go to other people's homes to apologize."
This is indeed the style of Lin Huzi and Li Xiu, especially Lin Huzi, who doesn't have a heart and doesn't hold grudges much, that is, the Lin family's main house hurts his heart too much, so he will be cold towards that side. This kind of "wrong" was on him, and I feel even more sorry.
"That's it. You don't have any dissatisfaction. They don't blame us now. From now on, just treat them as ordinary people from neighboring villages." Lin Xiazhi comforted him with a smile, "Now their elder brother should be married too. , Ah, do you know where you got married?"
That brother, Lin Xiazhi, has never met, but he thinks that family is pretty good, and it shouldn't cause any trouble to the Lin family.It is estimated that he took the initiative to find the Lin family because he saw the corn harvest of the Lin family and wanted to come to the Lin family to buy seeds in the future.
In fact, the Lin family's seeds were not bought from the Lin family. Their seeds were all in the granary, and they couldn't buy seeds from the Lin family.
"It's not easy for us to inquire about this, but Dad mentioned it when he heard the people in their village chatting. He heard that he married to another village." Li Xiu recalled.
"People are also married to other villages, so it's all right. Don't go to them if you have nothing to do. You don't need to be treated specially, so as not to hurt Brother Yusheng's heart." Lin Xiazhi saw that Li Xiu wanted to make up for the family, Quickly remind him.
Only then did Li Xiu realize that if they took special care of Lin Chengzu's former marriage partner, what would Yang Yusheng think if he found out, Li Xiu nodded quickly: "Dad and Amo almost did something stupid."
"Ah, you have to tell Dad, lest he go off to do something and embarrass everyone." Lin Huzi was much more honest than Li Xiu, so he had to talk to him seriously.
