Chapter 260: Doing a Little Business 1
Some who thought they were smart turned around and ran to Bai Jingzhou's house, but Bai Jingzhou just said to them, "I don't have the final say in this matter. Wenxuan is the one who paid."
Compared to the easy-going Bai Jingzhou, Gu Wenxuan's character, who is not easy to deal with and will immediately turn hostile to anyone who messes with her, is obviously better at making the villagers behave themselves. So from the very beginning, Gu Wenxuan had no intention of pushing Bai Jingzhou out as a shield for Fang Youfu and others.
Bai Jingzhou handed his father the booklet "Common Disease Prevention and Control Methods for Poultry and Livestock" that he had compiled with great effort, and said, "You can study it slowly by yourself. After you have learned it, you can teach it to others or do this business yourself. It's up to you."
Bai Chong did not have such subtle discriminatory ideas as "I am a doctor, not a veterinarian". As a country doctor, it was common to treat poultry and livestock.
He held the booklet in his hands, and read it carefully and fascinatedly from beginning to end. "I will first ask your second cousin if he wants to learn. If he is willing to learn, I will let him do this job."
Bai Jingming, Bai Jingzhou's second cousin, was a little lazy, so Bai Chong had the idea of teaching him. Firstly, because he was now making a living by slaughtering pigs, and secondly, the "Common Disease Prevention and Treatment Methods for Poultry and Livestock" given by Bai Jingzhou was of a thickness that Bai Jingming could accept, and it was not like medical books that were stacked up one by one, and the thickness of which made him feel scared at the first sight.
Bai Chong thought that if his nephew just memorized the booklet, he should be able to do it.
Facts have proved that Bai Chong still knows Bai Jingming very well. It is just a thin booklet, but Bai Jingming is still happy to memorize it as a means of making money.
He studied with Bai Chong for a while, and then began to explore and practice it himself. Of course, this is a story for later.
Right now, a group of people headed by Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou are queuing up, waiting for the construction master to build a new house for them.
The first family to start construction was Gu Wenxuan's. Because they had sufficient manpower and adequate preparation, their mansion was completed in less than half a month.
Following closely behind was Bai Jingzhou's family, then the families of Fang Youfu and his brothers, Bai Jingshan's family, and Han Dajiang's family.
Han Dajiang's family is different from the previous ones. They built a new house not because they wanted to live in a better place, but because the old house was so rotten that they could no longer live in it.
Han Dajiang's eldest son Han Yong is a young man who is very hardworking. When he was a patrol member before, Gu Wenxuan admired him so much that she asked Bai Jingshan to take care of him for a period of time and teach him martial arts, reading and doing things.
After the patrol team was disbanded, the young man did not give up halfway. Gu Wenxuan invited him to practice martial arts and study with everyone. He came early and left late every day, and was as hardworking as ever. Whenever Gu Wenxuan needed help from others, he would always help without saying a word.
When Gu Wenxuan distributed year-end bonuses to everyone a few years ago, he won the second prize, only behind Fang Youfu, Bai Jingshan and others. This shows how satisfied Gu Wenxuan was with him.
This is also what makes many people dissatisfied and unconvinced, because Han Yong has no relationship with either the Gu family or the Bai family. Gu Wenxuan is promoting him so much, and many people are dissatisfied with Gu Wenxuan's inability to distinguish between relatives who are close or distant.
They didn't dare to provoke Gu Wenxuan, but they kept gossiping about her in private. As Han Yong's junior master, Bai Jingshan was treated as a soft persimmon. There were at least 80 members of the Bai clan who were sarcastic to him and his family in person.
Fortunately, Bai Jingshan's family is very confident now, and those who spoke sarcastic words to their faces were directly rebuked by them without any hesitation.
In the words of Bai Jingshan's grandmother, "You guys don't want to grow up to be successful, so why do you think that capable people look down on you for being useless?"
The old lady now has hope for her life, and her gratitude towards Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan is as endless as the surging river. If anyone says anything bad about the Bai family and the Gu family, or about her promising grandson, she can transform herself into a Saint Seiya and scold the other person so that they will admit defeat and flee in panic.
In addition to Bai Jingshan's family, Han Dajiang's family was also regarded as a "soft persimmon" in the eyes of some people. Many people, led by Han Dajiang's brothers and his mother, came to their family and made many strange requests.
Han Dajiang's family used to be honest people who accepted everything that happened to them, but after experiencing some changes in the past two years, they are no longer the honest people who were blinded by filial piety and family affection.
They have learned the simple way of dealing with the world: "I treat others the way they treat me." Those who still want to use family affection and filial piety to hold them hostage, no matter how they talk nonsense, they will no longer compromise or sacrifice for the other party.
Especially the children of Han Dajiang's family. Under the influence of Bai Jingzhou, Bai Jingshan and others, they had long since eliminated the narcissism that they had developed in their early years under the influence of Han Dajiang and his wife.
With them working together to defend their property and "territory", those who had their eyes on their family were ultimately unable to gain any real advantage over them.
Gu Wenxuan did not pay too much attention to the lively family affairs in the village. After the house was completed, she began to teach the women in the family how to make preserved eggs.
It is worth mentioning that preserved eggs are one of the few things that Gu Wenxuan can make. She taught Li and Jia Guizhi while giving them tips.
"Once you have learned it, you can find capable and reliable aunts and sisters in the village to help you. You can master the key steps yourself and act as a manager and supervisor."
"Once the workshop is built and the production scale is up, I can let my father and second uncle be responsible for delivering and receiving goods, and keeping accounts. For other chores like moving things around, and looking after the workshop, I can let my father and second uncle hire a few diligent, responsible, and trustworthy people."
While working seriously, Li kept muttering to himself to deepen his impression, trying to write down the key points of the operation that Gu Wenxuan said as quickly as possible.
Jia Guizhi continued to recommend her sister-in-law without giving up, "It would be great if you could find your second aunt. I prefer going hunting in the mountains with your father rather than confining myself in the workshop."
Gu Wenxuan smiled, "My second aunt is now a famous female teacher."
Her second aunt, Lin Shuzhen, was well-read, and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, cooking and sewing. She had been hired by her at a high salary to teach the orphan girls how to read, do accounting, cook and do sewing.
In addition to taking her own carriage to the county town every three days to teach the orphans, she would also occasionally teach Gu Wenxuan, Jia Yuelan, Bai Jingxin, and the girls from the village who were on good terms with them how to do needlework during the two days in between.
