Chapter 143 Come to the door
Lu Tingfeng drove the carriage and stopped beside the official road outside the processing workshop.
Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng jumped off the carriage and saw the cook of Yunfenglou packing things onto the ox cart.
Ye Changyan went forward and chatted with the cook for a while. The cook was quite talkative and talked to Ye Changyan in detail about the lunch.
A canteen was originally reserved in the processing workshop. Zhang arranged for two middle-aged women from the village to assist the cooks. These two middle-aged women came in the morning to help pick, wash and cut vegetables.
It was almost lunchtime, and the employees in the processing workshop came to the canteen in batches in an orderly manner, bringing their own bowls and chopsticks. The two middle-aged women helped serve meals and dishes to the employees who came to eat, and everything was so orderly.
At noon, the chef prepared three dishes and a soup, including stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots, braised pork, stir-fried lotus root slices, and radish soup. The employees were very satisfied with the meal.
These employees may not even be able to eat meat twice a month at home. The canteen of this processing workshop is not only free, but also provides two pieces of meat per meal, as well as vegetables and soup. Moreover, these meals are prepared by the chef of Yunfeng Building, so the taste is naturally very popular with the employees.
After the employees finished their lunch and returned to their respective posts, the cook and the two helping women had their meals. After lunch, the two helping women helped the cook to clean up. From what the cook said, he thought the two helping women did a great job and hoped that they would help in the future.
Ye Changyan agreed with a smile. Seeing that the cook had almost packed up his things, Ye Changyan said goodbye to him. Then he saw the cook getting on the ox cart and heading towards the county town.
When Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng arrived at the processing workshop, they saw that everyone was busy. Occasionally, someone would see Ye Changyan coming and almost all of them would nod and smile at him before continuing to work.
Everyone is very satisfied with the work of this processing workshop, and Zhang notified last night that they need to rush the work starting today, and no one complained. Not only will they get a pay raise for rushing the work, they will also be provided with a meal, and I heard that there will be a bonus at the end of the year. After seeing the sumptuous lunch today, everyone is looking forward to the bonus at the end of the year.
Ye Changyan briefly explained the situation to the heads of several departments and encouraged everyone before he walked out of the processing workshop with Liang Jingcheng.
After leaving the processing workshop, the two men went to the construction site of the Ye family courtyard.
The craftsmen on the construction site were building a wall, and Ye Changyan saw Wang Shun busy at work. Ye Changyan greeted him and walked towards Wang Shun.
"Brother Wang, this progress is quite fast."
"It's OK. The wall will be finished in about two days. The main construction should be completed before the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month."
Ye Changyan listened to Wang Shun's confident words and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"After the Lantern Festival, we will do the interior renovation and decoration work, and we can move in when spring comes and the flowers bloom."
"Thank you so much, Brother Wang and all the craftsmen!"
After discussing some details with Wang Shun, Ye Changyan said goodbye to Wang Shun.
It was indeed a bit cold outside, so Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng took a few quick steps and got back on the carriage. Lu Tingfeng drove the carriage towards the Ye family's farm.
When Ye Changyan pushed open the gate of his own courtyard, he saw Fang Xiaotong and his sister busy steaming wintersweet flowers at the stove. Wulang was sitting on the left side of the main hall door holding a hot water bottle, reviewing his lessons. Lian and Erniu were sitting on the right side of the main hall door, doing needlework.
Seeing Ye Changyan coming back with Liang Jingcheng following behind him, everyone greeted him warmly.
"What are aunt and sister doing?"
Liang Jingcheng walked to the stove and looked at Fang Xiaotong and his sister who were busy. He nodded, turned and walked to the door of the main hall and asked Lian.
"Your uncle is not feeling well. The weather is getting colder and he stays in bed all day. Xiaotong and Xiaomei have taken over all the work. Erniu and I have nothing to do so we plan to sew a coat for your uncle."
Lian answered Liang Jingcheng with a smile while giving instructions to Erniu.
"Erniu, go get two hot water bottles and give one to your brother Liang and one to your brother Lu in the carriage."
Erniu put the needle and thread in her hand into the basket and stood up to get the hot water bottle from the cupboard.
Ye Xiaozheng was weak and would cough and wheeze violently once he was exposed to smoke, so there was no charcoal basin in the Ye family's house. Ye Changyan bought eight hot water bottles at once. Erniu was a little confused at the time, but now she understood her brother's thoughts.
Liang Jingcheng took the hot water bottle handed to him by Erniu and followed Ye Changyan to prepare the wintersweet perfume.
Tomorrow, the Zhong family's cargo caravan will come to the processing workshop to transport candies to the provincial capital. Ye Changyan plans to bring the perfume he promised to Huang Huamin along as well.
Everyone in the Ye family's yard was busy with their own things when they heard a knock on the yard door.
Goro put down the book and hot water bottle in his hands and ran to open the door.
"Grandma, it's so cold, don't catch a cold, come inside quickly."
When Wulang opened the door, he saw Da Niu and Silang standing at the door supporting the old lady, followed by Xu and Liu.
When everyone in the Ye family heard Wu Lang's words, they hurriedly put down what they were doing. Lian winked at Erniu, indicating that she should go and call Ye Xiaozheng who was sleeping in the room.
Lian and Ye Changyan came to the yard and hurriedly invited the old lady and the people from the old house to come into the house.
With the support of Da Niu and Si Lang, the old lady greeted Lian and Ye Changyan politely, while constantly looking around the situation in the yard.
When the eldest girl saw Liang Jingcheng standing at the door of the main hall, her cheeks began to turn red and her ears felt a little hot. When Xu saw this, she secretly became excited.
"Who are these two?"
The old lady saw Fang Xiaotong and his sister busy in the kitchen and asked Ye Changyan.
"This is the helper that Boss Zhong arranged for us to come here."
Fang Xiaotong and his sister bowed to the old lady and continued with the work at hand.
The old lady found it a little strange that Boss Zhong would arrange for servants to come to the farm, but as she had important matters to attend to today, she did not think much about it.
Then a handsome young man was seen standing at the door of the main hall, looking at the old lady with a smile on his face.
Ye Changyan then introduced him to the old lady.
"Grandma, this is my senior brother, Liang Jingcheng. Senior brother, this is my grandmother."
Liang Jingcheng politely bowed to the old lady, and then politely greeted the other people in the old house according to Ye Changyan's introduction, and then went to Ye Changyan's room.
When the old lady came to the main room, Erniu handed her a hot water bottle. The old lady took it happily and praised Erniu.
At this time, Ye Xiaozheng, who was wearing slightly bloated clothes, also walked out of the room and came to the main room.
When the old lady and Ye Xiaozheng, mother and son, met, they asked each other about each other's well-being for a long time, and it seemed that they had a very deep affection for each other.
