Zeng Anxin hurriedly greeted him, and then his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and his face was full of smiles: "Sister Xiaoli, you're back, what's going on over there?"

Yu Xiaoli was relieved by this seemingly tentative sentence, her face turned red, she quickly lowered her head, and said shyly: "What nonsense are you talking about, I have been learning the craft in Zhao Yuanwai's workshop recently, and by the way, I went to Zhangjiazhai to see Brother Black Tiger, he didn't have any big deals, but he suffered a little bit of a cold, and now he is better, and he went to work with me yesterday, don't talk nonsense." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"I didn't mention him, my heart is weak, right? Now the two of you go to work together and learn crafts together, how is the progress?" Zeng Anxin sincerely hoped that the two of them could be together.

Yu Xiaoli's eyes darkened, and she said softly: "Let's talk about these things later, where are you going?"

"Into the mountains, will you go?"

"The master of the Yuanbao Tea Workshop saw that I learned very well, so I took a holiday today, I wanted to go, but we didn't go the same way. Yu Xiaoli hesitated.

Zeng Aijun suddenly clapped his hands and said: "As soon as Xiaoli's words came out, I remembered one thing, when I went back to the village today, I vaguely heard someone say that since my family bought this mountain, it is a little inconvenient for everyone to enter the mountain, and if you want to eat some game or something, you can run far away, which will delay things." I think we might as well be like this in the future, if anyone wants to enter Qingyu Mountain, it's okay, but if you want to give us eighty percent of the income on the mountain, it will be regarded as collecting some taxes, what do you think?"

"That's a good idea, but everyone is a villager, isn't eighty percent too much? Zeng Youqu said after asking Zhang for instructions.

An An thought about it, his little face wrinkled slightly, and a shrewd light flashed in his eyes: "If it's once or twice, even if it's given to everyone to eat, it doesn't matter." But it's not a matter of one or two times, our family wants to survive on this mountain, I think there are some things, it is better to explain it clearly. When we get it, we can't get better. It is better for us to let the village chief issue a public notice and solicit workers to collect mountain goods, and we will pay them appropriate wages according to the quantity and quality of mountain goods. ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt that the idea of peace of mind was good, and they were not in a hurry to enter the mountain at the moment, so they asked Zeng Gaoda to call the village chief to come over and discuss.

As soon as the village chief heard this idea, he solved the remaining labor force in the village, and even some children could do things like picking mountain mushrooms, as long as they were along the periphery.

It's just that the salary has to be set.

Zeng Gaoda has always been honest and loyal, so it is naturally not good for him to say this. Anxin is young and a girl, so it doesn't matter if she says something wrong.

"Grandpa the village chief, you see, this thing was originally our family, and everyone had to make an effort to take it off, so it is definitely impossible for these mountain goods to be paid, and they still pay according to the purchase price in the market. Otherwise, we won't die. For example, this mountain mushroom is in the outside market, and the fresh goods cost five pennies a catty, and our family buys one catty and one penny. The mushrooms are wet and weighed, and it doesn't take much effort to spend a pound, but they can earn a penny, which is already very worthwhile. If it is the aunts who are diligent in their hands and feet, it is also trivial to pick twenty or thirty catties a day, then twenty or thirty dollars will be in hand. ”

Anxin said that the sky was full of flowers, his squinted eyes were like crescent moons, and Wang Zhuoyun and Shangguan Shen who were watching were stunned.

Shangguan Shen pulled Wang Zhuoyun and snickered at him, what a shrewd and calculating little lady?

In the eyes and hearts of the two of them, a penny is already a little less than dust, in fact, they can't figure out why Zeng Anxin cares about this penny.

Tao Hai smoked a dry cigarette for a while, blinked, and knocked down the cigarette pouch again: "Friend, it's not that I have to raise the price or anything." I also know the conditions of your family, but in previous years, Shengli Village picked ingots tea, and there was no danger on the mountain, and every pound picked would cost two to five cents, and if the money was less, it would be necessary to provide food money. You see, there are all kinds of beasts in your Qingyu Mountain, and the danger factor is relatively large, and a penny is too little. ”

Zeng Youqu was about to say that he would let the village chief decide, but he was glanced at by his little girl, and sat in front of the village chief Taohai with a smile, his little eyes flashed: "Grandpa the village chief, I want to ask you, why do you say that the price of picking green fruits in Shengli Village is so high?"

Tao Hai thought for a while and said: "Of course, the two outsiders are more sympathetic to the villagers, so the price is high, if the price is low, they will also provide Chinese rice and broth to drink." ”

Zeng Anxin immediately shook his head, raised his tender white little fingers and shook it, looking like a little adult.

"Grandpa the village chief, you are wrong, the so-called no businessman is not treacherous, of course, the most important thing for businessmen is profit. The reason they give such a high price is that the green fruit season is short, and once the green fruit is left on the tree for too long, it will rot, or the taste of the authentic green fruit tea will be missing. And it is followed by the beginning of spring, their ingots must be listed before the beginning of spring, they are anxious about the market, of course, the price is higher. And it is only done seven days before the beginning of spring in a year.

The mountain goods on our mountain are different, as long as you don't pick them, they will always be there, and there are no seasonal restrictions, there are things to pick in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It's equivalent to a long-term supply, and if it's an errand, it's also a long-term job. Do the math yourself. Even if I pick green fruits, I can earn 500 wen a day, which is 3 taels and 5 dollars of silver for seven days. But if you pick mountain goods, only according to the fungus calculation, at least 20 catties a day, other more expensive ones are not counted, 20 yuan a day, nearly seven taels of silver a year. ”

"The aunts in the village have neat hands and feet, twenty catties of mountain goods, it can be done in a few hours, and the family field work is still done, it only takes a morning or an afternoon to earn twenty yuan, but when you go to pick green fruits, don't you get up early and feel dark?"

Tao Hai was analyzed by Zeng Anxin like this, as if he felt that it was really this reason, even if he nodded, he laughed again, and said to Zeng You: "I didn't expect you to be an honest man, but you gave birth to a shrewd girl, this is really good at settling accounts, being Mr. You's apprentice is different, and you speak in one set." Okay, then I'll go back first, talk to the big guys about this, and if there are people who are willing, let them report to your house by themselves. ”

"Thank you to the village chief, we will also determine the various prices of mountain goods as soon as possible. Zeng Anxin personally sent Tao Hai out, and turned back with a smile on his face.

Wang Zhuoyun saw that she was so proud, so he wanted to pick something to hit her, it was best to make her angry, so he deliberately said: "Look at your shrewdness, it's just a penny, it's so fine, and it's not cutting your flesh, what are you doing with such a pound?"

Zeng Anxin glanced at him, "You are a big young master who doesn't divide the grains, what do you know, a penny, do you think it's less? If you don't accumulate silicon, you can't go a thousand miles. You haven't made it yourself, and you certainly don't know how hard it is to make money. Too lazy to pay attention to you!"

Zeng Anxin was still thinking about what he had just gnawed her lips about, and his speech was very polite, even if his wife repeatedly threw her eyes to ask, she still didn't like him, and her nose was not a nose, and her eyes were not eyes.

Yu Xiaoli heard about the Zeng family's method, so she went home to discuss with He, and both of them brought baskets over.

"We don't want any wages, so according to what Aijun said at the beginning, I will take a little of the things I picked home and cook them, and give the rest to your family. He said.

Zhang's immediately said no, this He family is Zeng Aijun's godmother, even if their family wants money again, they won't want this money.

"Sister He, if you are so polite to me again, then I won't dare to let you help in the future. It's decided, what do you want to eat, or come to me and get it directly, or if you want to eat fresh, let Aijun go up the mountain to pick it for you, or you can go up the mountain to pick it yourself, you're welcome, it's all a family, what are you talking about?"

Zeng Youqu immediately nodded as well, agreeing with Zhang's arrangement. This time, Mrs. Zhang didn't speak, she saw He's kindness to her daughter, but it was just some mountain goods, not worth it, people's hearts are the most important thing.

He was embarrassed by these words, he was going to come over to help, but this time he came to take advantage, and he became more and more grateful in his heart, and he was going to say about his second daughter, but he was also a little hesitant.

is already taking advantage of others, if you mention the matter of the second daughter again, will people say that she is too greedy and not satisfied?

Yu Xiaoli thought more clearly than the He family, anyway, the Zeng family also said that anyone can come, as long as the second sister doesn't take advantage of the Zeng family.

At that moment, she also talked about her second sister Qiao Zhaodi, how could the Zhang family disagree, and complained that the He family didn't trust her, and she should have let the child come a long time ago.

At the mention of this hard-working second daughter, He's eyes turned red again, she has always been a pungent and refreshing personality, but in the marriage of these two daughters, she made a mistake, which led to this irreparable situation.

Tao Hai's ability to do things is high, and after a while, seven or eight people came to the gate of Zeng's courtyard, saying that they wanted to go up the mountain to have a look.

Because I don't know what the big guys can pick now, and it's not easy to set the price, I registered their names first, waited until they went down the mountain to see the goods, and then set the price according to the goods.

Shangguan Shen was amazed when he watched from the sidelines, and saw that Zeng Youqu was just writing down his name at random, and there were no other arrangements, so he frowned a little, pulled Anxin aside, and whispered: "Aren't you too lenient like this, those fresh mountain mushrooms and whatever, the taste is extremely delicious, and they are sold at least five cents a pound in the outside market, aren't you afraid that after they pick them down the mountain, they will not come to your house, but take them outside to sell?"

Wang Zhuoyun also immediately pricked up his ears, wanting to see how Zeng Anxin answered this question.

Zeng Anxin laughed, and deliberately said loudly: "Shangguan Gongzi really underestimated our Taoyuan villagers, our Taoyuan Village, under the leadership of the Taoyuan County Order, can be said to have reached the peaceful realm of not closing the door at night and leaving no road behind, the villagers are very simple and honest, it will never happen, I picked my mountain goods and sold them myself, if he is seen by the people in the village, he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life." Aunt Zhang, do you think what I said is right?"

Zeng Anxin deliberately grabbed a somewhat chubby woman and asked.

Aunt Zhang immediately slapped her fat big hand, the flesh on her fat face trembled, and she pouted: "It's this reason, we are humane, we are humane, we were originally at home, and we have no chance to make money after doing farm work." Now the Zeng family is kind enough to give us this opportunity to earn some pocket money and save a lot of money for the family. We can't thank you enough. If someone really does something like that, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep at night without waiting for the village chief to punish him. ”

Several other people who came to register echoed Aunt Zhang's words, and immediately assured Zhang and Zeng Youqu that they would never do such a thing that violated conscience and morality.

Zeng Youqu naturally said yes again and again, and said that he would choose to live here, just because the villagers here are kind and simple.

He is fortunate to have today, thanks to everyone's help, so he is here to repay everyone now.

While he was talking, Anxin saw that Li Lamei and Tao Kang Todd were also here, followed by a few slugs, all of whom seemed to have been eliminated in the Spring Children's preliminary competition.

An An greeted him, took Li Lamei's hand and asked curiously: "I heard that you didn't help in the ready-to-wear store in the town, why are you free to come to my house today?"

Li Lamei was not timid, and said generously: "The owner of the ready-to-wear store is going to die, although he says that he eats and stays, but he doesn't eat as well as pigs, and when he has nothing to do, he likes to beat and scold us, and call us like slaves." I had to work in their garment store for three years before I could get paid, and now I just give a red envelope of a few hundred dollars every year when it comes to the New Year's Festival, and the clothes I usually wear are made of old leftovers. Even if it is three years old, it will only be a hundred dollars a month. Today, Mu Xiu came back and heard the village chief's grandfather talk about your family's job recruitment, I calculated, I can not only earn several times more than the salary in the ready-to-wear store, but also take care of my grandmother nearby, why don't I do it?"

Anxin looked at Tao De Tao Kang again, these two are the treasure pimple eggs of the Tao family, and Tao Hai values them very much, I heard that Tao De is also very good at reading, and he usually serves at home like a little ancestor, just eat, drink, have fun and read.

Tao De explained with a blushing face: "I told Tao Kang that you can't always read books, otherwise you will become a nerd, no matter how many mountain goods you can pick when you go into the mountains, it can be regarded as a change of brain." By the way, you can also earn two pocket money, my grandmother listened to my analysis and felt that it made sense, so she allowed us to come. ”

The situation of Butcher Hu's family is actually very good, Hu Feifei has always kept Miss Jiao at home, but who made Butcher Hu fall in love with Zeng Gaoda and wanted to recruit him back as a son-in-law, so he pondered it at home and felt that this was a good opportunity.

He persuaded his daughter to go to Zeng's house to recruit a job, at least one can meet Zeng Gaoda often, people say that they meet three points of affection, and the relationship is cultivated;

He actually didn't care what money Hu Feifei could make, the main thing was to create opportunities for the two of them to get along.

Hu Feifei originally refused, her ideal life is to sit at home, waited by her subordinates, enjoy the flowers and play the piano, who is impatient to go up the mountain to do something, but if there is Zeng Gao to accompany him, it is naturally different.

Every time he thought of his solid and broad back, as well as his angular and handsome face, Hu Feifei was inexplicably blushing and his heart was warm, and he immediately looked in the mirror, drew his eyebrows for a long time, painted his makeup for a long time, wore a very beautiful satin skirt, dressed in red and willow green, and swayed towards the Zeng family.

Zeng Anxin saw that there were more and more people, so he walked towards Xiling Chu, the parrot who was napping in the back room, and Wang Zhuoyun and Shangguan followed cautiously.

"Wake up, lazy. An Xin teased the parrot Xilingchu's head with his hand, and the parrot Xilingchu immediately jumped up: "Handsome guy, handsome guy, I don't dare to sleep anymore." ”

"Porphyry" Zeng Anxin laughed: "Are you suffering from lovesickness, where are there any handsome guys? Didn't you say the day before yesterday that you wanted to make meritorious contributions, but now the opportunity has come." ”

Parrot Xiling Chu immediately straightened his posture, flapped his wings, and flew around Zeng Anxin excitedly: "Peace of mind, peace of mind, you say it quickly, what is the matter, I promise to do it properly." ”

"You've lived in Qingyu Mountain for several months, you should have a few good bird friends, right?"

The parrot Xiling Chu immediately flapped his wings: "Of course there is, why did you suddenly ask this?"

"We have a lot of villagers in our house to help pick mountain goods, and I want you to contact the little birds you can contact and keep an eye on their movements, on the one hand, for their personal safety, and on the other hand, to prevent any of them from having bad intentions. You might be able to do it?"

"No problem, it's on me, as long as I do this well, will you agree to my conditions?"

"It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, let's wait until it's done, and if everyone can get down the mountain safely before dark today, and there are no accidents, I'll consider your conditions." ”

As soon as the parrot Xiling Chucai drooped his wings, he immediately cheered up again, and it was good to have hope.

It nodded desperately, and had already begun to fantasize happily, if the male parrot of the purple feather golden frivolt drank the water of the fairy pond, would it know that she was well.

When the time comes, they will be able to live in both habitats, and they will no longer be alone.

"Stop daydreaming, drooling is coming out, now fly to the front yard, remember the faces and voices of each of them, and keep an eye on them with your friends, but don't expose them, you can tell the birds in the woods, as long as the matter is done, they will be indispensable in the future." ”

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!" the parrot Xiling Chu excitedly raised the tip of his right wing to the top of his head, made a military salute, and then flew out quickly, looked carefully around the people in the courtyard, and then flapped his wings and flew out of the courtyard.

Shangguan Shen and Wang Zhuoyun looked at each other, just now this guy also said that the Taoyuan villagers are simple and kind, and they would never do such a thing, but they didn't expect that the parrot would be used as a monitor later.

Why is this girl so black?

Wang Zhuoyun thought that he had grabbed her handle, and became proud: "Tut-tut, what you said just now is good, saying that you believe in the big guy, and now you are actually making such a precautionary measure, alas, I don't know if this son tells everyone what you just did, will everyone be very disappointed in you?"

Zeng Anxin didn't have the slightest flustery as he imagined, or begged him to keep it secret, just smiled lightly and walked past him: "If you want to say it, just say it, see who believes you." ”

A parrot can listen to and speak human words, which is nothing, so that all the birds can listen to Zeng Anxin's words, how is this possible? I guess no one will believe it.

Wang Zhuoyun suddenly felt a sense of frustration, this girl is really his nemesis.

As soon as Zeng Anxin entered the front yard, he saw Hu Feifei, who was wearing flowers and branches, as if he was going to participate in some upper-class event, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Before she could speak, Li Lamei's voice had already sounded: "Hu Feifei, are you sure you are here to sign up for mountain picking?"

Hu Feifei raised his orchid fingers, holding a pink handkerchief in his hand, his eyes wandered around trying to find Zeng's tall back, but he didn't see it, he was a little disappointed, and when he saw everyone looking at her, he immediately became proud again, and his head was held high like a proud little peacock.

"Of course. Is there any problem? Could it be that the number of recruits is already full, and we are not accepting people?"

Zhang Shi looked at her whole body with some hesitation, "It's collected, but it's just that you're dressed like this, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go up the mountain." ”

Li Lamei, Yu Xiaoli, Zeng Anxin and others were all wearing thick coarse cloth and cotton clothes, and the waist of the trousers was tightly tied, the trouser legs and shoes and socks were tightly tied together, the neck and head were covered with a layer of gray headscarves, and gloves and other things were prepared in the basket.

It's almost the whole person tightly covered. Coarse cloth clothes are the most wearable, so that you are not afraid of the wild thorns on the mountain, and the cover is tight to prevent mosquitoes or poisonous snakes and other bites.

Gloves, of course, are meant to protect the palms from abrasion and cuts.

Hu Feifei was wearing a Luo skirt made of silk, it is estimated that he has not yet entered the mountain, and the corners of the skirt have to be torn by mountain thorns, and his hands and feet are not tightly covered.

"Hu Feifei, if you really want to go into the mountain, go home first and change your outfit, such a beautiful dress, if it is scratched by the thorn quinoa on the mountain, what a pity. Yu Xiaoli also persuaded gently.

Hu Feifei saw that all the girls were dressed up in strange shapes, so she didn't want to dress like this, so what beauty did she have?

Besides, everyone was dressed like that, and they looked more and more slim, and Zeng Gao would definitely look at her a few more times when the time came.

"Your Zeng family doesn't just care about receiving and paying, you also care about what clothes people wear, my family has money, I don't care, it's broken. ”
