Chapter 233 Returning to the Village ([-])
The craftsmen are too young. Qi Ke doesn't care about her age in her 30s or [-]s. She is also a young person. The disadvantage of being young is that she has less practical experience than the elderly, but as long as she has solid basic skills and an open mind, she can be trained.

In Qi Ke's view, these young craftsmen came at the right time, and she was in urgent need of a talent - a foreman.

Without a foreman, who will be in charge of overall coordination?
Qi Ke then held a smaller banquet, invited the newly settled craftsmen to have a meal, and gave red envelopes for starting work, so they would have to worry about the rest of the work.

When the craftsmen learned that they had settled down in Siliu Village, Erma Town, they had already been told that there was a living waiting for them, so when Qi Ke handed out red envelopes at the banquet, everyone accepted them with a smile, expressing generously that they were all villagers in the same village, and that they would definitely will do well.

With these craftsmen, Qi Ke is much more relaxed. As the owner, she just needs to pay for it.

The houses in the village were severely damaged. The first batch of villagers who moved here already lived in dilapidated houses, and the second batch of villagers could only sleep in tents. There was no time to build their own new houses, so Qi Ke first renovated the village.

Qi Ke gave a very affordable promise that the renovated house can be used to accommodate the families of the craftsmen first, and live there until their new house is built.

This has greatly mobilized everyone's enthusiasm for work, plus the food is good, there is meat in every meal, several sheep are killed a day, and there is seafood soup boiled with fresh shellfish every day. , Attracted many people in the county to come to find work, even if they do odd jobs, they can get a meal.

In the process of renovating the house, Qi Ke found that the blast furnace had to be built now, otherwise the lack of iron and tools would be very annoying.

When transferring the materials of the soil blast furnace to the predetermined site, Qi Ke drew up the drawings and mobilized several carpenters to make several big guys according to the drawings, wooden hand cranes, which were specially used to move heavy masonry materials from the ground to high-rise buildings. With this thing, everyone can work much faster and much safer.

The kiln workers who made the pottery models went to the mountains to find a suitable place to build a kiln. Qi Ke arranged to send people to deliver food and clean clothes every two days.

People come and go in the village every day, and the hand-cranked crane was naturally spread by word of mouth. It was also in Erma Town, where construction was underway. After hearing about it, Cheng Feng came to Six Liu Village to have a look, and then talked to Qi Ke. The blueprints are gone, free of charge, because Qi Ke has a contract with Bai Qing, the contract is not for nothing, the technology is shared, if people other than Bai Jiajun want it, they have to pay for it.

Qi Ke didn't care how much the blueprints of the hand-cranked cranes could sell for. The work of renovating the Zhuangzi was taken care of by craftsmen. Even the cattle and sheep she specially grazed in the farmland were taken away by the villagers. According to the appearance of this temporary corral, a few pigs are taken out to kill each day, and the children are responsible for mowing grass in the farmland to feed them. Qi Ke also gives them a few pennies for their hard work on a daily basis.

The longer the alfalfa in the farmland grows, the better. The weeds that used to be tall are gradually decreasing at an unnoticed speed. When Qi Ke reacts one day, the alfalfa is already dominant in the farmland, and the weeds are sparsely scattered. One grows in the east and one grows in the west.

Qi Ke felt that she might have figured out the reason why the farmland in Qianhejing didn't grow weeds. She squinted her eyes and smiled happily. She probably didn't have to worry about weeding when she planted next spring.
