Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 173: Human Change

After careful calculations by Tan Yuanfang, the winery's profit was 62 yuan last year. This was mainly due to the large investment and the cost of renovating the store, so the profit growth was slightly worse than expected, but the net profit still exceeded that of the previous year.

Wen Qing sought opinions from shareholders such as Liu Quan. Taking into account that the new factory would be put into production this year and would require more funds, he only distributed 40 yuan, leaving 22 yuan as working capital.

Wen Qing gave Village Chief Liu 3 yuan to supplement the village's relief funds, and gave him another 3.7 yuan as dividends for Erxia Village; Liu Quan and Wang Jianguo each received 1.85 yuan, Tan Yuanfang received 9250 yuan, and Wen Qing received 25.675 yuan.

The orchard's revenue this year is 30 yuan, the grain company's profit is 36 yuan, and Wen Qing earns more than 90 yuan.

Because she and Zhuang Xien divorced and Zhuang Xien returned to his hometown early, the Schindler Bicycle Shop and Factory did not receive any dividends and would have to wait until after the Spring Festival.

As in previous years, Wen Qing distributed chicken, duck, fish, meat and bonuses to employees, and everyone was very satisfied.

Wang Jianguo arranged for staff to be on duty during the Spring Festival. Wen Qing said to Tan Yuanfang: "Those on duty during the Spring Festival will be paid double wages. They should be told to pay attention to safety, especially not to let children set off firecrackers near the wine shop to avoid firecrackers."

Liu Quan said, "Sister Wen, come to my house for New Year's Eve dinner." They already knew about her divorce.

Wen Qing did not hide it from everyone, as she was afraid that they were unaware and might be taken advantage of.

After get off work, the workers happily went home to celebrate the New Year. Wen Qing went to see the construction progress of the new factory area. The factory buildings had been fully renovated and the equipment could be installed after the Spring Festival. She also went to the backyard to see the fermentation progress of the wine cellars on both sides. Only when everything went well did Wen Qing return to her room in the front yard.

Although she moved to Huashuijing Lane, this courtyard felt more like home to her.

When the new factory is completed, the office will be moved to the office building over there, and the courtyard will be quiet again. She will then rearrange it.

In winter, all the leaves of the crabapple trees in the yard have fallen off, the bare branches of the magnolia trees are pointing to the sky, the blue sky is shining with cold light, and the wind makes the windows crackle.

Wen Qing closed the window, locked the gate, and returned to the house. The fire on the stove was burning brightly, and the heat was flowing in the house, making the room very warm.

She flashed into the space. This season's crops were not yet ripe. Wen Qing went to the medicinal field. She hadn't picked medicinal herbs in the past two years. Now she found that ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, Panax notoginseng and Panax notoginseng were all growing very lushly, with strong branches and emerald green leaves.

The roots of the medicinal herbs spread underground and sprouted many new plants, making the entire medicinal field densely populated.

She bent down to identify them carefully, dug up the mature herbs, and prepared to store them in the warehouse after drying. After four or five hours of hard work, she finally tidied up the herb field and made it look more tidy.

Wen Qing went to the lake to wash her hands, strolled along the lake, checked the chicken coop and rabbit house, and walked a long way before returning to the small bamboo house.

She sat down and practiced until her body was filled with true Qi, then she slowly exhaled and left the space to rest.

During the day, she entered the space again and inspected the orchard and tea garden, picking all the apples and pears that had not been harvested in the orchard. The tea trees in the tea garden began to grow tender leaves. She drove the tea picking machine and picked all the tea in the more than 20 acres of tea garden. She started making tea immediately after picking the tender leaves.

A lot of tea was picked this time. Wen Qing was busy in the space for a whole day before she finished processing all the tea. It was already evening when she came out of the space. She cooked the dumplings sent by Liu Quan's lover, which was considered the New Year's Eve dinner.

Wen Qing had a very quiet Spring Festival.

During the Spring Festival, Wen Qing went to the forest and pruned the apple, pear, and cherry trees that needed pruning and fertilized those that needed fertilizing.

In winter, the grass on the mountain withers and the leaves fall. Wen Qing collects the dry grass and branches into the space, burns them, and then throws the ashes into the pit to make fertilizer together with chicken manure and pond mud.

After the Spring Festival, Wen Qing devoted his energy to the new factory. He notified the school-run factory to transport all the equipment to the factory and took several technicians to assemble the equipment.

The other equipment was easy to install, but the more difficult part was setting up the scaffolding. Wen Qing asked Director Li to borrow a crane to help her install it. She also found ways to install the other boilers, large stainless steel fermentation tanks, and wine distiller one by one.

After all the equipment in the new factory was installed, Wen Qing led people to move to the office.

Looking at the brand new office furniture and the bright room, Tan Yuanfang showed an excited look. She came out of the district non-staple food company and worked in a winery in the countryside. Many of her former colleagues thought she had fallen on hard times, and her former manager had ridiculed her a lot. Now this bright room showed that her choice was not wrong.

The workers were also very happy. A canteen was built in the new factory building. Wen Qing hired a chef to prepare two meals a day. Each meal included three meat dishes, five vegetarian dishes, and plenty of rice and steamed buns. The workers only had to pay a symbolic 3 cents per meal and could eat as much as they wanted.

For the workers, there is no better job than working in the winery in the nearby villages.

At present, Changxia Liquor Industry has a total of 1110 mud cellars, 1730 ground vats, and 100 large stainless steel fermentation tanks. It can produce 850 tons of light-fragrance liquor and 1550 tons of strong-fragrance liquor every quarter. After reaching full production capacity, it can produce 9600 tons of liquor and 50 tons of cider each year, with an output value of more than 5 million yuan. However, the process of reaching production capacity standards will not be too short, and it will conservatively take five years.

Wen Qing's heart was pounding with nervousness as she thought about the huge amount of milk she would produce after giving birth.

After the Spring Festival, Zhuang Xien took Yang Xiaoqin back to Pingjing.

Yang Xiaoqin pushed open the gate and walked into the courtyard that was both familiar and unfamiliar. Now she was the hostess here.

The yard was still the same yard. She put her things away, lit the fire in the living room fireplace like Wen Qing did, and sat on the sofa. The spacious house and the exquisite and beautiful furniture made this her home.

After sitting for a while, she stood up and asked, "Brother Sean, can I go up and take a look?"

"of course can."

The two of them went upstairs to the master bedroom together.

Yang Xiaoqin used to live in the guest room downstairs, and she had never come upstairs.

Zhuang Xien introduced: "This bedroom is the guest bedroom, where my parents live; this is the master bedroom, and there is a bathroom over here."

Yang Xiaoqin saw a spacious and warm room with a big bed, beige curtains, and sturdy furniture with delicate carvings, which looked antique.

Zhuang Xien opened the door of a closet, which was empty, and said slightly bitterly, "Put your clothes in here."

Yang Xiaoqin walked to another closet and opened the door. Inside was a closet full of men's clothes. "Brother Sean, these are your clothes. There are so many."

Zhuang Xian thought that most of his clothes were bought by Wen Qing, and some of them were bought by her in Dongyue. Since he married Wen Qing, he never had to worry about food and clothing.

Yang Xiaoqin opened the luggage she brought with her and took out her clothes and put them in the closet. She only had four or five pieces of clothing, and the entire closet was empty, in stark contrast to Zhuang Xien's full closet of clothes.

She thought to herself that she would also fill up her cupboard in the future.
