Brother Cheng nodded his head and said, "Yeah~ I'll go find Brother Tongsheng to practice calligraphy together tomorrow."

When Village Chief He heard this, he was truly envious and said to Gu Dashan: "Da Shan, you are a lucky man. Not only can your daughter make money, but your two sons are also good at school. Those students in my family are also Jin students." If you can calm down and study, the other two cannot."

He wanted to curry favor with the Gu family and often asked his two grandsons who lived at home to play with Brother An and Brother Cheng. However, Jin Sheng was a nerd and could not get along with Gu Jinan.

Tong Sheng is an out-of-the-box person. He spends his time walking around rivers and trees all day long, but it turns out that Brother Cheng is a good boy. Every time Tong Sheng comes to see Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng plays with him and writes, which makes Tong Sheng bored. Yes, he couldn't even come to Gu's house without being beaten with a cane.

Gu Jinli looked at Village Chief He's depressed and helpless look, and turned to look at Brother Cheng. The little guy secretly blinked at her, looking good-naturedly.

Gu Jinli smiled. This little guy is getting smarter and smarter. No wonder, living in the same house with Gu Jinan and being taught by Gu Jinan step by step, it is difficult to think smart or not.

Village Chief He knew the situation and temperament of each He family. This was not the first time he found people to work for Gu's workshop, so he quickly selected six people and brought them to Gu's workshop the next day.

"This is the daughter-in-law of He Tufang's family, this is the daughter-in-law of He Changshu's family, this is the daughter-in-law of He Dayuan's family, and this is the fourth daughter of He Dajian's family. She is fourteen this year." Village Chief He introduced the daughter to Gu Jinli. He finally pointed to the two young women and said, "These are the two daughters-in-law of the He Shiliu family."

The two daughters-in-law of He Shiliu's family hurried forward and said to Gu Jinli: "Hello, little boss, don't worry, we will work hard and not be lazy."

Yesterday, after the village chief told them that Gu's workshop was recruiting people and specially reserved two places for their family, the whole family was extremely excited.

The father-in-law said with emotion: "In the past two months, some people in the village said that I was wasting money by giving generous gifts to Gu's workshop. A few days ago, when I took Dashan and Dafu to Yanfu Village, He Cuier's family even laughed at me. It's a hot face but a cold butt. How about now? Those who laugh at me, can two people from the family work in the workshop? "

"The Gu family is a family that cares about friendship. Everyone is looking at us."

Finally, after discussing with the mother-in-law, the father-in-law decided to let the two sisters-in-law work in the workshop. He also told them: "When you go to the workshop, you must work hard, don't talk too much, don't look around, and abide by the rules. Don't be greedy, and would rather earn less." When weighing out spices, don’t worry about the one or two and a half.”

The two of them naturally agreed. What they wanted was a stable job, and they would not lose such a good job because of petty gains.

Gu Jinli looked at the six people who were sent there. All six of them were well-dressed, their clothes were very clean, and their hair was neatly combed. When she looked at them, two women did not dare to look at her. It's a shy look.

"Stretch out your hand." Gu Jinli said.

The six people hurriedly stretched out their hands.

Gu Jinli saw that their hands were very clean, their nails were trimmed and fairly flat, and there was no dirt in their nails.

Gu Jinli nodded with satisfaction: "If you want to work in our workshop, you can't have bad intentions. If there is a problem with the spices in the workshop, all the workers will have to sit together. If you are willing, we will sign a contract."

People in the village have long known the rules that you need to sign a contract to work in Gu's workshop, and you have to sit together in case of accidents. At first they thought the rules were too strict, but now they think it doesn't matter. Grinding spices is really too profitable.

Those who work in Gu's workshop receive at least five taels of silver at the end of the month. For example, Mo Qinzi's family, because both mother and daughter work in the workshop, receive twelve taels a month. wages.

Oh my god, twelve taels, so much money, let alone asking them to sign a contract to abide by the rules, even asking them to sign a deed of betrayal will be enough.

"I'm glad, my little boss, we know the rules, let's sign the contract quickly." He Zhou, the second daughter-in-law of He Shiliu, said impatiently, eager to sign the contract and start work immediately.

Since it was their first day working in the workshop, the six people's families had followed them and were waiting outside the workshop.

When He Manzi heard what his daughter-in-law said, he quickly glared at He Zhou, fearing that she would be rejected by Gu's workshop because she was too unruly.

Seeing his younger brother's anxious look, He Gaozi smiled and said: "Second brother, don't be anxious. My little boss is an open-minded person, and he likes people with a cheerful temper like my second younger brother and sister."

He Manzi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid that she will mess up the matter and bring harm to our family."

In the workshop, Gu Jinli took out the contract that had been written long ago, filled in their names, and showed it to Village Chief He.

After Village Chief He looked at it, he nodded and said it was okay. A few people pressed their fingerprints on it, signed the contract, and the six people became members of the workshop.

People from the six families watched from outside, their hearts dropped to the ground.

Gu Jinli took back the six contracts and said to the six of them: "Follow me, and I'll ask Mo Chunyue to teach you how to grind spices."

"Hey." The six of them happily followed Gu Jinli into the main room of the workshop. When they saw the tools in the main room, they were all surprised.

It turns out that grinding spices requires so many tools, not only stone hammers, but also medicinal mills used in apothecary shops, and more than a dozen fine sieves.

Gu Jinli said to Mo Chunyue: "You are responsible for teaching them, and then tell them about other rules in the workshop."

"Yes." Mo Chunyue responded, first telling the six people about the working hours of the workshop and the price of grinding each spice, and then began to teach them how to grind spices: "Our workshop has limited tools, such as medicine. Valuable tools like rollers must be used in turns and cannot be snatched.”

"Grinding spices is a delicate job. It requires patience. It must be ground very finely. After grinding it once, it needs to be sieved. After sifting, grind it again and sift it again..."

The six people listened carefully, and no one felt impatient.

After Gu Jinli watched for a while, he went home and helped his third grandma prepare for the festival.

Today is the third day of May, and the Dragon Boat Festival will be in two days. When Gu Jinan went home last night, he said that there was a dragon boat race in the county. The Shang Xiucai family will go to the county tomorrow to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with the Jiang family and watch the dragon boat race. Can he help them with some things? The family took the gift to Jiang's house.

The third grandma and the others have been waiting for her for a long time. They are now packing up the festive gifts at home, and they have to send them to Shang's house at noon.

When Gu Jinli returned home, Mistress Cui, Mrs. Chu, Aunt Tian, ​​and Gu Daya were packing things sent by several families in the main room.

Gu Jinli was really shocked when he looked at the things that filled the room. Good guy, not only were there five live chickens, five baskets of eggs, a bag of glutinous rice, two baskets of dried tofu, and two baskets of fried tofu, but there was also a A jar.

The jar was full of aroma, including braised fish pieces, braised dried beans, braised beef and mutton, braised pig trotters, five roast ducks, and two cans of duck fat.

Gu Jinli smelled the aroma that filled the room and said, "What we give you is all braised food."

The third grandma said: "This is the only thing our family can get."
