Chapter 81 Cruel Reality!

"Yao'er, you can't stop paying attention to small money just because you have some silver at home now, that's not acceptable." Yi Jiang said, paused, and continued.

"Do you know that some people only have 5 taels of silver after a year of hard work!"

Gu Yao sighed, and said: "Daddy, I know, can you stop preaching to me!" This makes people very upset!

"Tell me you're not happy anymore," Yi Jiang said.

"No, the main reason is that I know what you said, so." At the end, Gu Yao smiled and said to Yi Jiang: "Daddy, you see that the kitchen is so small, you have worked hard all day , let’s go outside and rest for a while.”

"You!" Yi Jiang shook his head helplessly, and then went out.

The next day, Ding Xiang and the others came on time, and Yi Jiang had already left by then.

"Aunts and uncles, you are here." Gu Yao opened the door with a smile, and gave the six people outside the door a big smile.

"Sister Yao."

Gu Yao opened the door, let six people in, and led them to the place where they needed to work.

"Okay, here it is."

Gu Yao pointed to some wooden pots and bamboo mats on the ground, and said, "The three aunts are working here. As for what to do, I will tell you later."

Then he looked at the three male compatriots and said, "Three uncles, come with me. The places you are going to work are here, the kitchen, the granary, and the open space and cellar behind."

"That is to say, you are required to do the physical work that the aunts can't do. Therefore, your work is relatively large, and you will have to work hard."

"Sister Yao is being polite."

Then the three men looked at each other and said, "Sister Yao, don't worry, we will do well."

"En." Gu Yao clapped her hands with a smile, and said, "Okay, let's start working."

"Each of the three uncles went to the granary to bring out a bag of grain. As for the three aunts, they were in charge of cleaning the grain. The well was right next to it." Following Gu Yao's order, everyone started to work. up.

In the end, he was diligent, except for the confusion at the beginning, he soon became orderly.

Gu Yao's daily work is cooking for six people and observing the fermentation of the wine in the cellar.

But later, she realized that cooking is a thing, and after a long time, she couldn't do it anymore, so she simply hired Grandpa Yi next door to come over to cook every day when the time came, and the salary was [-] yuan a month.

At first Yi Zhen was not happy, but after the lobbying of Yi Jiang, Master Li and Gu Yao, he agreed.

Time goes by day by day, it is good to hire people, the business of the store is getting better and better, the quantity of wine is also keeping up, but there is one thing, this place is too small, so Gu Yao's original idea came up again coming.

"Daddy, do you have money at home now?" Gu Yao said to Yi Jiang after dinner that day.

Yi Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, why? What do you want to do?"

"I want to build a winery!" Gu Yao lay powerlessly on the table, and said, "Don't Dad think the space in the house is too small?"

Yi Jiang glanced outside, nodded his head, and said, "It's really a little small, okay, tell me, what's your plan."

"That's what I think." Gu Yao pulled Yi Jiang to the gate, pointed in one direction and said, "Daddy, look over there, how about that piece of land?"

Yi Jiang glanced at the overgrown field and said, "It's quite big."

"Daddy, what do you think about building a winery over there? The terrain is open, and it's beside the road, so it's convenient to transport wine." Gu Yao said with a smile.

"What else?" Yi Jiang asked when he saw Gu Yao hesitated to speak.

Gu Yao laughed and said, "I just want to buy all of this, tidy it up, and try to turn them into fields, so that we can use them to grow food or fruits."

"Daddy, you also know that the fruit wine I brewed a few days ago was picked from the mountains. I just want to transplant those fruit trees to form an orchard."

"Also, we have to buy some people from the brewery, we can't hire all of them, at least we need to use our own people for the most important stages."

Yi Jiang listened to Gu Yao's words, and calculated bit by bit in his heart, then the corner of his mouth twitched, and said: "Then Yaoer, have you ever calculated how much money you need to really follow what you said? of silver!"

Dare to make money during this period is all for the so-called brewery!

The main thing is, not enough!

"Eh?" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Yao's face.

Yi Jiang sighed, and said, "Yao'er, Dad told you that in the past six months, including the store rent and the net income from wine, he only earned about 1000 taels, and what you just said, It’s not enough to put all the money in!”

"It doesn't mean that it will be finished immediately, Daddy, we can buy the land first!" Gu Yao said with a smile.

Yi Jiang rolled his eyes and said, "Do you know how much money it costs for such a large piece of land!"

Gu Yao blinked and said, "How much!"

"At least there are more than 500 mu of land here. One mu of land is the cheapest 5 taels of silver for him, and it costs 200 taels. Our money is not enough to buy land." Yi Jiang said lightly.

"Eh." Gu Yao was instantly stunned.

Sure enough, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

"According to what you said, the idea of ​​buying the land first is not acceptable." Yi Jiang said.

Gu Yao took a deep breath, and then said: "Then I'll take it one step at a time, build the winery first, as for the others, I'll buy them after I earn money."

Yi Jiang nodded his head and said, "That's not too bad, Yao'er, as for this person, he needs to do things step by step, you know?"

"Understood, Daddy." Gu Yao said.

Now that he had made up his mind to build a winery, Yi Jiang went to the head of Yi Village and bought three acres of land for a total of 15 taels of silver.

In the evening, Yi Jiang put a title deed in front of Gu Yao and said, "Here you are, the title deed of the winery."

Gu Yao looked up at Yi Jiang suspiciously, and said, "The title deed? What are you doing for me!"

"Isn't that piece of land just for building a winery? The winery is yours, and the title deed is of course yours!" Yi Jiang said.

Gu Yao spread her hands and said, "The money for buying the land is yours, so why give me the land deed! I don't want it."

Yi Jiang frowned and said, "Yes." Just as he started, he was interrupted by Gu Yao.

"Daddy, if I want something, I'll tell it. Since I didn't say it, then you can take it yourself."

Yi Jiang looked at Gu Yao's serious look, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay then."

Gu Yao saw that Yi Jiang had taken back the land deed, so she smiled and said, "Daddy, the store's business is considered stable now, so, when will you buy a few people and let them stay in the store, you Let's go home with Master Li."

Yi Jiang thought about it, and indeed, it was time to buy someone. As for why he didn't hire someone, Yao'er said, how could outsiders be as comfortable as their own!
He thinks it makes sense, guarding the store is a very important thing, and he still needs his own people to come.

Furthermore, the master can't always be in the county town, and rush to both ends of the village.

The master is old and should be blessed.

"That's fine, just follow what you said, tomorrow Daddy will go to Zhao Yahang to buy a few people, and buy you a little maid by the way, okay?" Yi Jiang said with a smile.

He has seen many ladies in the county town, and when they go out, they are always accompanied by a little maid.

When she heard that she wanted to buy a maid for herself, Gu Yao quickly waved her hands and said, "No, Daddy, you only need to buy the ones used in the store, and you don't need to buy more."

The whole house is only this big, what kind of maid should I buy!

Besides, if there is a servant girl by her side, it would be inconvenient even to go up the mountain, so let's talk about it later.

Seeing Gu Yao's face of resistance, Yi Jiang had no choice but to give up.

Early the next morning, Yi Jiang went to the county seat, while Gu Yao went to Yi Village Chief's house, intending to find Yi Dashan and discuss with him about finding someone to build a winery.

After all, Yi Dashan is good at comparing prices for building a house!
Gu Yao hadn't reached Village Chief Yi's house when she was spotted by the sharp-eyed Yi Cheng. She smiled and said to Yi Wang who was beside her, "Mother, I saw Sister Yao walking this way."

"Where is it?" Yi Wang stood up and looked towards the door, looked at the figure not far away, and said with a smile: "It's true."

The two Pingan brothers who were playing on the side heard that Gu Yao was coming, their eyes lit up. After all, Yi Ziping has grown up and is sensible. Although he was happy in his heart, he didn't move, obediently helping grandma with work .

But Yi Zian is not. Although he is 8 years old this year, he is still mischievous.

"Sister Yao, sister Yao."

Gu Yao looked at Yi Zian who ran out from the door, and said with a smile: "Brother An, how did you know I'm coming!"

"Mother said, mother saw you." Yi Zian said with a smile.

"So that's how it is!" Gu Yao walked inside with a smile, and then said to the people inside: "Grandma, grandma, aunt, brother Ping, the village head." Then she put the basket she brought over on the stool.

Yi Cheng looked at the basket, not to mention how bright the smile on his face was, "Sister Yao, why are you free to come over today!" Then he said to Yi Ziping: "Brother Ping, go and pour some water for Sister Yao .”

"it is good."

Before Gu Yao could refuse, she saw that Yi Ziping had already entered the room, so she could only smile and say, "Auntie, I'm sorry."

"No trouble, no trouble." Yi Cheng smiled and waved his hands.

How could Yi Wang not know why Yi Cheng was so enthusiastic about Gu Yao!

Although she was a little unhappy, she was her own daughter-in-law. She smiled at Gu Yao with some embarrassment, and said, "Sister Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time. What are you doing here today?"

"I have something to do." Gu Yao said, then took the water from Yi Ziping and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Yi Ziping returned to his seat after finishing speaking.

Yi Cheng glanced at his elder son, his eyes flickered, and then he said with a smile: "What is the purpose of sister Yao's visit today!"
