Chapter 183 Promoting Grouping
Gu Qingqing took over his words and continued, "After we take 20%, there are still 1,792 copper coins left. If we divide it among the 34 families, each family can get 52 copper coins. 52 is not a lot, but there is strength in numbers, and there are people to share the work."
Gu Qingqing became excited halfway through her speech and finally felt a bean on his body. However, before she could be happy for too long, she discovered that it was actually a ball of clothing thread.
"Hey, this is the basket that was sent to the Shen Mansion, otherwise they would earn more. No wonder they want to continue running the kiln." Wen Wuyan said truthfully.
Gu Qingqing spoke without hesitation, "It is only right to send a basket to the Shen Mansion. It is freezing now, so it should be difficult to open the kiln. Let's see what everyone thinks tomorrow. If the villagers insist, we will naturally agree."
"That's all."
"I'll go check it out tomorrow. If you're at home, don't go. You have to take the county exam in early February next year. It's already the twelfth month, so there are only about ninety days left. Just study hard."
"Well, you have to study hard, otherwise how can I repay my Qingqing. But, Qingqing, do you feel that the quilt is getting hotter?" Wen Wuyan was set on fire by her little hands. He could still bear it at first, but now he just felt like the charcoal in the pot, extremely hot.
Something hard hit Gu Qingqing's leg, and she paused, and her hands became more still.
It's over. She is no longer the naive little girl. She understands what this means.
She secretly and stealthily tried to pull the quilt off Wen Wuyan towards herself, trying to cool him down.
"It's, it's okay." Gu Qingqing stuttered as she spoke. At the same time, she was surrounded by the hot breath emanating from Wen Wuyan.
I only heard him say, "That's because you can't see clearly through your clothes. Put your hand in and try. I don't know how hot Laojun's alchemy furnace is, but I feel like I am that furnace now..."
Gu Qingqing was about to speak, but she felt Wen Wuyan approaching her. He lowered his head to her ear and whispered four hot words into her mind.
——"I am burning with desire!"
ah! this......
Wen Wuyan then gently bit her earlobe and asked in a mosquito-like voice, "Qingqing, don't you want to?"
This young girl is tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time. Does she want it or not?
Wen Wuyan didn't need her answer. His loving kiss extended from her forehead to the side of her face and to her earlobe.
Gu Qingqing was enveloped by the hot breath. Just as she was about to speak, Wen Wuyan's tongue flexibly penetrated her, attacking and entangling her endlessly.
There is no flickering red candle, only the oil lamp is lit.
Wen Wuyan deliberately acted mischievously and told her in another way what she had said to him not long ago.
This made the exhausted Gu Qingqing curse.
The more happily she cursed, the braver Wen Wuyan became.
......
The next day.
The villagers unanimously decided to build a new kiln. Gu Qingqing felt that she could not stand up to oppose it, so she followed the village chief to the cave.
Gu Qingqing looked at the small wooden house built next to one of the cave dwellings in the wasteland and asked Wu Shan in surprise, "Uncle Wu, I was not here yesterday afternoon, how come there is a small wooden house here?"
"Hahaha, everyone has nothing to do and wants to stay here, but it's uncomfortable to stay here when it's snowing and windy, so we worked together to build a temporary hut. The hut is sheltered from the wind and not far from the cave, so it's not cold inside. When everyone is tired from working, they can go in and take a rest."
Gu Qingqing looked over curiously and praised, "This is great, who came up with this?"
Wu Shan, wearing a leather hat with starched edges, chuckled, "I don't know about that, but I think it's a good idea. When the kiln is fired for the last time, we can dismantle the wooden house and burn charcoal. When we start construction next year, we can build a better house than this one."
Gu Qingqing gave him a thumbs up, expressing her approval.
Gu Qingqing thought that the kiln would be difficult to dig. After all, the mountain was covered with frozen soil, which would definitely be difficult.
Even she herself overlooked one thing, that is, they burned charcoal here day and night, and the surrounding soil was frozen, but it was much easier to dig than she had imagined.
Two days later, the new cave was completed. It was half the size of the previous three caves and was loaded with firewood on the same day it was dug.
Gu Qingqing looked at the villagers who were busy working freely. She said to Wu Shan, "Uncle Wu, apart from my family, there are still 34 households here, which means 34 people. Can we divide them into groups? Divide them into three groups, each with 11 people. Select a leader to lead a few experienced woodcutters. As for the kiln, tell everyone how to guard it. It is enough to leave one person for each pair. The remaining two teams should have a good rest at home when they are not on duty, which can also be regarded as saving energy. Uncle Wu can work harder and come to check the work from time to time. Uncle Wu, what do you think?"
Wu Shan was curious and pulled Gu Qingqing aside to ask him to talk more.
Gu Qingqing brought over the duty roster that she knew, and also analyzed with him how this would allow everyone's work and rest to be maximized.
Then, I told him that selling charcoal in town was not a job that anyone could do, and we could slowly select a few people to do it.
Wu Shan nodded repeatedly after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he slapped his thigh and said, "Your idea is good, but if you ask me, we produce charcoal once every four days. For the three days in between, let everyone follow your idea and come on the day of the charcoal production."
Gu Qingqing smiled at him and said, "Come on, let them divide and pick up the charcoal when they come. Uncle Wu has the final say on this matter."
Afterwards, Wu Shan told everyone about this idea and asked them to form teams on their own.
Gu Qingqing didn't ask about what happened next and let the villagers arrange it.
Seeing that there was nothing for Gu Qingqing to do here, she went home to make meat floss and dried meat to bring to Shen Chenan.
At the Thirteenth Town Market, Gu Qingqing and Wen Wuyan went to the town. Thinking that they had bought a lot of things today, they asked the little brat Zhao Bei to do the hard labor.
Before leaving, Gu Qingqing was still expressing her gratitude to Old Yang, "Uncle Yang, please help me look after the children at home today. Just make whatever you want to eat at home. We will try to come back early."
"Hahaha, just go ahead, you can rest assured that I'm at home."
The child is young and the weather is cold, and they have to buy a lot of things today, so they naturally can't take the child with them.
After Gu Qingqing and the other two arrived in the town, they first delivered the prepared meat floss, dried meat and meat cubes to the Shen Mansion.
Then I went to the grain store to buy 200 kilograms of brown rice, sorghum rice flour, and white flour.
I didn't buy any white rice. The one the Shen family gave me when I moved was eaten sparingly, and now I still have a whole load of it left.
Various condiments, salt, sugar, oil.
I bought a bag of snacks I found and also bought some fine cotton cloth.
Because she thought the baby would be born soon, and she would give the baby the fine cotton cloth.
It snowed two days ago, and she didn't let Luo Meihua go to the stall. But in the past two days, Meihua has come to see her many times, urging her to go to work.
She thought that there would be many people in the town at the end of the year and she could still sell some pig intestines, so she simply bought a lot of pig offal.
As a result, as soon as she got home, Dahua ran over happily with six red eggs in her hands, "Mom, why did you come back just now? Uncle has been waiting for you for a long time, and when it was getting dark, he just left not long ago."
Gu Qingqing's eyes were attracted by the red egg in her hand, and she asked in surprise, "But your aunt gave birth?"
"Yes, the baby is born. My uncle specially sent some red eggs." Two red clouds appeared on Dahua's cheeks with joy.
Gu Qingqing was so happy that she clasped her hands together as if praying. She really hoped that the old Gu family would have a proper successor.
"Uncle, can you tell whether it's a boy or a girl?" Gu Qingqing wanted to know urgently.
