After the Dragon Boat Festival, seeing that the oysters had entered the breeding season, and the production of oyster sauce should be suspended for a period of time, it was inevitable that there would be insufficient supply in the future, so she took Liu Shi and Xuan Xuan back to Liujia Village.

The ancestral house of Uncle Liu’s family has been completely renovated, with black tiles and high walls. Because it bought land and expanded it, it is said that it is planned to allocate a yard for every male. The huge courtyard has a grand momentum.

And on a piece of land not far from the ancestral house, another house was built separately. It was not there during the New Year's greetings. The traces of the wall were also built together, but it was not so particular. You will find out when you enter the house., That house was actually built by a group of people that Brother Jian brought over.

"Brother Jian?"

Chen Nianguan quickly remembered, isn't this the purchase recommended by Xiao You to the store?

"Hey, isn't Brother Jian the one in charge of buying in your store?" said the aunt, "You told us to buy oysters as soon as possible last month, the more the better, then we asked people in the village to disperse to buy,I didn’t buy much, and it was Brother Jian who took over the job.”

Chen Nianguan heard about it.

In order to purchase the largest amount of oysters in a short period of time, Jian Ge distributed the men to the beggars he knew, let them run errands, and overfulfilled.

"They're all kids in their teens. They're smart. It's just that the world is bad and their families are gone. It's a pity."

Because he came to Liujia Village more times, after finishing the oyster work, Uncle Liu saw that there were a lot of them, so he decided to stay.

"Didn't our family in Liu Shan follow Wan Wan and you to work in the city, so the manpower in the field would be reduced?" The fourth aunt also said, "Later, the family added dozens of acres of land, which was not enough for people to work, soLeave them all behind."

That is to say, the beggars who helped Brother Jian in the past, and other beggars whom these beggars were familiar with, let Uncle Liu stay if they met the conditions, and hired them to do farm work.The house is also provided for them to live in, and a wage is also paid. The beggars have a place to live and a job. They are not afraid of starving to death, so they are willing to do this job.

"Keep it well, keep it well. I have to ask them to help me buy oysters in a while!" The eldest cousin came back from the field to rest and drink water, followed by a group of half-grown children, smiling all the way, and then entered the house at the other end.

"There are also women and maids who came with them, and they happened to do sewing, washing and cooking for them, so we provided a place to live and rations to support them well."

Because the number of households in Liujia Village has decreased a lot in recent years, as soon as this group of beggars came, Lizheng of Liujia Village would follow them.

Seven or eight people have been approved, named and registered, and they are considered to be people in Liujia Village. They will also be given homesteads and fields. When they save money to build their own houses, the remaining beggars will be willing, carried his investigation, and also helped him settle down.

These days, population is productivity, and a village with a large number of households will prosper.

The beggars were poor people who were in distress. They left their homes and were homeless. They were very happy to hear such good things, and they worked hard for Uncle Liu's family.

Chen Nianguan didn't expect that Xiao You would just recommend a brother Jian to work in the store, and such a big event would come about.

But it's a good thing.

Because they were still at the end of Lixia when they came here, and the eldest aunt kept stuffing eggs for Chen Nianguan and Xuan Xuan while chatting.

In modern times, Chen Nianguan also ate eggs with red shells on the day of Lixia when he was a child.

Lixia eats eggs, it’s not summer in hot weather!

But then haven't eaten it for many years.

The eggs laid by the farm chickens in Liujia Village are naturally delicious. Chen Nianguan ate two and watched Liu put an egg into a net bag and hang it on Xuanxuan, and then Xuan Xuan and Liu Ye twoThe little girl held hands and went to fight eggs with the people in the village.

She was also curious. It just so happened that the eldest aunt was going to pick vegetables from the vegetable field outside to cook for the family, so Chen Nianguan also went out for a walk.

Now the village is the scene after the busy farming.

Acres of paddy fields are full of rice seedlings that have just been transplanted, spaced apart in small bunches, and the sparkling water in the middle reflects the blue sky and white clouds.

In the distance, you can see a field of golden rapeseed flowers. The mountains and forests are lush and verdant. Flying birds occasionally pass by, and you can hear their melodious singing, which is full of vitality.

Nearby are people in the village who plant willows, banyans and camphor trees, all of which are verdant and verdant.

There is a big stream meandering through the middle of the village, the clear water of the stream glows with the color of the sun scattered, finely broken, dotted with stars.

There are quite a few children with nets and eggs hanging around their necks, standing in the stream with their trousers rolled up, digging into the depths of the water with wooden basins with broken edges, and in a short while they caught many small fish, half finger long,One finger long, unwilling to be arrested, bounced in the basin, the silver-white belly shone with golden light, which aroused the screams and laughter of the children.

Chen Nianguan couldn't help laughing.

"Hey, isn't this the daughter of Miss Liu's family?"

Chen Nianguan turned around, and saw a woman in a blue floral dress, squinting her eyes, looking her up and down unceremoniously.

"You are?" Chen Nianguan didn't recognize this woman for a while, should she know her?No, as the original body, should I know her?

"Sure enough, as soon as this person has some money, he forgets his roots." The woman snorted coldly, "Miss Liu's family, you went back to Liujia Village with your mother when you were young, why did you cry?I even gave you a pancake to eat? Why did you forget it?"

Really, embarrassingly, she really forgot.

Chen Nianguan was embarrassed, trying to figure out the woman's age and status, and said bravely, "Auntie, I forgot for a while, I'm really sorry, please don't take it personally!"

"If you really feel sorry, you can tell your mother." The aunt suddenly reached out and grabbed Chen Nianguan, "I think how good I was to your mother when she was a daughter in Liujia Village? Now it's aWhat's up?"

"What's the matter?" The aunt kept telling her so, and Chen Nianguan didn't know what it was?

"Oh, it's your mother. What kind of work is she doing in the county town? Doesn't your uncle's family also do the work? Wan Wan, we were so kind to you back then, why did you forget, and give me some work?"The aunt looked angrily, "The woman from Liu Zizi's family and the girl from Muzi's family can do things. Why do you think I can't do it? Tell me, does your mother look down on me?"

Amidst the ramblings, Chen Nianguan finally understood why the sudden aunt wanted to block him.

It turned out that it was the previous job of making oyster juice. The first aunt and the fourth aunt didn't choose Aunt Liu to work. Aunt Liu was dissatisfied, and happened to meet her today, so she had to explain to herselfWoolen cloth!

For the sake of Chen Nianguan, and also to break some people's bad thoughts, in Liujia Village, Uncle Liu's family did not say that this business was their niece's idea. After all, Chen Nianguan was young and still aLittle lady, if this matter gets out, I'm afraid of causing trouble, so everyone outside uses Liu Shi as an excuse.

This aunt just misunderstood.

"So, look at the past, Miss Liu, no, your mother, do you have to pull me too?" The aunt said dryly, seeing that Chen Nianguan was unmoved., flicking her hand impatiently, "Are you listening or not?"

"Da Zhuzi's family, why do you want our family Wan Wan to listen to it? What face are you throwing at?" The eldest aunt, who picked a basket of vegetables, appeared behind Chen Nianguan at this time, holding a basket of cabbages and cress.

Seeing from a distance that the big Zhuzi's family was pestering Chen Nianguan and talking non-stop, she was taken aback in her heart, and walked a few steps over, just in time to see her throwing her niece's hand hard, and couldn't help but get angry.

"Oh, what can I say? Isn't it just to please Wan Wan and your aunt!" Da Zhuzi's family sneered.With Li Zheng's face again, who dares to bully her?"

"It's good to know, be quiet, and don't cause trouble!"

Chen Nianguan was dragged away by her aunt, and she learned from her aunt that a while ago, the uncle found someone to cook soup with oysters in his house, and found many women in the village, and the people in the village saw LiuWhen the uncle's family became rich, they were all willing to join in this business, but the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt were the ones who picked people, and those with bad character were not considered, so some people naturally complained.

This big pillar family is one of them.

"She is usually lazy and has a bad mouth. No one can recruit her! She is also a man. I heard that someone in the village came to the county. I saw that the shop opened by your family is doing well, and I saw that our family delivered goods to the store., I came to the door several times to inquire about the recipe of jerky sauce and oyster sauce, and one night I even sneaked into the house."

"Really? Is that all right?"

"It's okay, there's your uncle and cousin!" said the auntie, "We gave him a hard lesson, and then Da Zhuzi's family will go around saying that we are ungrateful."

"Is their family kind to us?"

"Bah! It was just when I was caught by pirates. I couldn't open the pot for the first time, and I ate a few pancakes from her family. There were rice stalks and gravel mixed in there. It almost wiped out the teeth of your cousin Shan'er."It's gone." The aunt spat, "Besides, when our life got better later, we even sent half a bag of rice to her family, and they didn't miss a portion of their family's usual New Year's gift. Who has no conscience?"

The eldest aunt took Chen Nianguan and talked in detail, and quickly returned to the house.

The vegetable basket was put down in the yard, and there were not many vegetables to choose. Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu came back from the busy farming.

They naturally knew what she was here for, so they went into the house and sat down to rest for a while, drank a sip of tea, and then took Chen Nianguan to the cellar where the oyster sauce was stored.

In addition to the cellar that was dug last time, Uncle Liu also dug a larger cellar. They have already set aside a large house in the backyard for the production of oyster sauce.

There are twelve small stoves in front of the house. After walking through the aisle, there is a special place for taking over the boiled oyster sauce and making oyster sauce with other condiments at the back.There are two large earthen stoves, which are used for burning fire, mainly for boiling water, which is used to scald these porcelain jars and vases, and on one side is a clean large desk, which is used to drain the scalded porcelain vases.

The entrance to the cellar is dug behind here, and the oyster sauce will be sealed with wax once it is bottled, and then sent to the cellar in batches for storage.

Chen Nianguan followed Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu into the cellar. Feeling the coldness, he was very happy to see the oyster sauce neatly arranged in cans and bottles.

"The inventory here, plus the inventory in the cellar before, is estimated to be close to more than 700 cans, and there are also 500 bottles." Uncle Liu asked Chen Nianguan, "Do you think it is enough?"

"Not necessarily."

Chen Nianguan thought of more than 20 branches and estimated the amount of oyster sauce.

If the business is as prosperous as the branch in Prefecture City, it is estimated that the order will be made once in less than half a month, that is, once a month. Counting the time spent on the road, it is barely enough.

Because as long as it enters September, you can continue to purchase fresh oysters to make oyster sauce. Now it is early May, as long as the inventory meets the demand for three months.

When September starts, Uncle Liu and the others just use the existing manpower to make more oyster sauce for storage. In addition, cats don’t work for almost two months during the New Year’s Eve. That period is not only the most plump season for oysters, is also low tide, and a large number of seaside reefs are out of the water. When these oysters can be picked up everywhere, they can be used, so there is no need to be in such a hurry as this year.

Well, this is a completely sustainable industry, and it seems that we are not afraid that the supply of oyster sauce will run out.

Chen Nianguan felt relieved to hand over the oyster sauce industry to Sijiu Liu, who was fully responsible.
