Chapter 169: Manpower
82_82370 Er Ya joked on the side: "Oops! Now that these fields have been collected and used by me, haven't you suffered a big loss? ”
Zhao Laishu was busy talking to Erya again, and said: "The lady of the owner can't say that, if you really count it, we are now begging the owner for a big bargain." In the past, my family rented ten acres of land here, and calculated according to the highest harvest of 400 catties per acre, the annual income was converted into silver, which was also the income of five taels of silver.
Now my salary alone is 12 taels a year, and the wages of my two sons are also 12 taels, and the total income is already 24 taels. In addition, my mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren can earn some scraps of handicraft money and livestock money. Do the math, how much more income do we have than in the past?!
In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, several old brothers in our Zhuangzi were together, and it was difficult to compare the past days if they had nothing to do, and they were thinking about the better days in the future! But no one dares to think about it! ”
Huigui is not very old, has poor patience, and has a lot of words, and before he finished speaking, he hurriedly interjected and asked, "Why?" ”
Zhao Laishu sighed and replied, "I'm afraid! I'm afraid it's a good dream! ”
As soon as Erya heard this, she instantly understood what he meant, they were afraid that she would be a big-tailed wolf, and if she didn't have such a high income in the future, she would regret it. At that time, their situation is likely to be worse than before, and if they have no land and no money, it will be really miserable.
Thinking about their concerns, Er Ya smiled and calmed the hearts of Zhao Laishu and those behind him: "Uncle Zhao, don't worry, as long as you do things seriously and steadfastly, I can guarantee your income from me." But if any of you cause my loss because of your personal selfishness and distractions, then I will punish all of you.
It's not about one person doing something wrong, and the others have to sit together. Rather, it is because you do not play a role in supervising each other, and you approach the affairs of the Lord's house with a self-preservation mentality that has nothing to do with self-preservation. This is a bystander mentality that I am quite disgusted with, so I want to make it clear to them that they will care about the affairs of the main family as their own affairs, then I will also ensure that everyone's income will last for a long time, and it will be higher in the future. ”
Since Zhao Laishu can be elected as the foreman by everyone, he also has a bit of brains. As soon as I heard what the owner lady said. I immediately understood what this meant.
Without even thinking about it, he replied: "Don't worry, the owner and the lady of the owner, although we are only the long-term workers of the owner, our family is here." They live on their owners and on these fields for food. If we don't work well for the owner, can we still leave here and leave the well to beg for food?!
This is the owner's field, but it is our home, the roots of our ancestors, and we will never risk being driven out of here by the owner to seek the meager benefits that do not belong to us in the first place. We can't do that! Zhao Laishu said in a firm tone that they would be loyal to the owner. It is not guaranteed by the personality of whom, but by the roots of their ancestors.
Xiaohu has been growing up in a peasant family, and although he has received the lesson of gambling loss, he still believes in the goodness of human nature. Therefore, it also echoed Zhao Laishu's words. said: "Daughter-in-law, rest assured, they are all native-born locals, and they will not do the foolish things that will shame their families." ”
Er Ya smiled and didn't speak again. Her intention was not to suspect that they would do anything malicious, but to make her point clear. Just reassure them.
After a not-so-pleasant conversation, everyone went downstream to see the tanks.
Zhao Laishu pointed to the bamboo boxes placed in the deep-water field, one after another, and said: "In this field, there are small-eyed bamboo boxes, mainly for raising shrimp." Because the fish fry sent him that he didn't have so many shrimp fry, I only put a small eye bamboo box in this paddy field. When the shrimp fry grow larger, they are put into a box and fed.
The four large paddy fields under the left hand, I am going to raise all the crucian carp, this crucian carp is easy to feed, after all, we are currently the first time to raise fish in a box, I am afraid that I have no experience, I can't feed those expensive fish.
There are also a few paddy fields over there, and I raise grass carp, which is also easy to feed. Just put in grass and pig food.
It's just that the black fish raised in the fields on the right hand side are not easy to deal with, and they also have a high survival rate and will not die, so I raise a lot more than other fish. But they basically eat small shrimp and small fish for a living, if this is packed in a box, what are we going to feed them? You can't really feed them with fish and shrimp, can you? ”
When it comes to fish feed, it's not a big deal. Erya immediately replied: "This is very easy to do!" You can say hello to the children around you who are idle at home and have nothing to do, ask them to catch bugs, snails, mussels, and you can buy them with money. There are also offal that each family doesn't want to kill livestock, or the offal of the slaughterhouse in the county or something, you can buy it back, and then chop it up and add forage and feed it mixed and fed. But you must remember your account book clearly, and when the time comes, I will only calculate the money for you according to the account book, not according to your mouth. ”
Zhao Laishu sent the fish fry and began to worry about the problem of fish feed. None of them had ever raised a fish before, and they never knew that this fish had to be artificially fed. Therefore, when the fish fry sent him the experience of how to raise these fish, his eyes widened, as if he was listening to a book from heaven. After the people left, he was worried, listening to the meaning of the words of this fish fry, this feed can cost a lot of money! I don't know if this owner knows? And what are they going to do? Will you be willing to pay this money?
Now listen to the lady of the owner, all the expenses are paid by the owner, they just need to keep the accounts and work hard. Now the pressure on me is gone, and now it seems that I am still quite easy to be a foreman. Hehe, Zhao Laishu snickered in his heart.
Erya saw that the ridges of each paddy field were similar to the river dams, so she praised them vigorously: "Uncle Zhao, who advocated making this ridge?" Very good, at the end of the year, you have to count among the excellent personnel. ”
Zhao Laishu blushed, a little embarrassed and a little proud and replied: "It's me who thinks that even if you use a box to raise fish, you should make the ridge better." Anyway, the big guy is staying still, so it's better to do something. Loosen your muscles. They are also very willing to do it, except for the New Year's Day, they are busy with the New Year and New Year's greetings, and they have rested for a few days, and they have not rested since then. ”
Xiaohu also answered with a smile, "Yes! I heard my brother-in-law say that your group is very energetic. ”
Erya nodded. Smiled: "Very good! If you can keep it that way. It is estimated that the special prize at the end of the year will be indispensable to you. ”
Zhao Laishu smiled happily, and whispered in his mouth: "That's good!" That's a good idea! ”
The adults talked and looked at the situation of the paddy fields, but Wen Chao and Wen Yue were in a hurry. No one paid attention to them. was also caught by his father, and he didn't let them play alone by himself, which was boring. Wen Chao is okay, and his patience is better when he is older. This article is not good, first it is a fuss. Then he cried out loudly. Being so troubled by the child, they had no choice but to end the trip and go back.
As soon as I walked back to the paddy field in the middle, I found Liu Dahai waiting in the field early.
When he came back, Huigui led a horse and walked behind, and Erya walked in the middle with the two children. Xiaohu led the other horse in front. He was the first to see Liu Dahai, and asked from afar, "What's the matter with this uncle?" ”
Don't blame Xiaohu for not knowing, people came back from the grassland. His daughter-in-law has never had time to bring him over to formally meet these big foremen and second foremen, and of course she can't know who you are as soon as you see people.
Erya heard the voice in front of her. He craned his neck to see who it was. Seeing that it was Liu Dahai, he was about to ask him. However, Liu Dahai opened his mouth in front of Erya: "Presumably this is our owner, when you just passed here, we were working in the fields, I don't know." I'm afraid I'll miss your time back, so I'm waiting for you here. After Liu Dahai finished speaking, when he saw Xiaohu nodding, he took the opportunity to salute Xiaohu.
As soon as he stood up straight, Xiaohu asked anxiously, "Uncle Liu, is there something wrong?" ”
Liu Dahai nodded and said, "Yes!" I have something to find the owner to think of! ”
Erya saw that Xiaohu had already communicated with Liu Dahai, so she no longer squeaked, but picked up the two children from the horse, and let them play by themselves, the paddy fields here are very shallow, don't be afraid that they will accidentally fall into the water.
Putting down the two boys to play by themselves, Erya listened carefully to Liu Dahai's words: "That's the case, this is about to be planted, if we rely on our group of people to plant seedlings, it will be too slow." I would like to ask if the owner can arrange more people to come over and help us plant rice? ”
Xiaohu didn't know if his daughter-in-law had any arrangements, so he involuntarily turned his head to the back and looked at Erya. Erya smiled: "It's okay, it's easy to arrange." At that time, the other two groups of people, as well as children who can pull and plant seedlings, will be able to work in the fields.
However, these people who invited them did not let them work in vain, and each person was given 30 yuan a day, plus three meals, eggs, milk, and steamed buns in the morning, two meat and bone broth for white rice and vegetables at noon, and two meat and one bone broth for white rice and vegetables in the evening.
The women who participated in the cooking were paid 20 cents a day for the same food. These people are found by yourself, and I will pay for them, and we will also arrange for people to come over to help in those days, and be responsible for buying meat and vegetables, etc., as well as some tools that you urgently need. ”
As soon as Liu Dahai heard the words of the lady of the owner, he knew that the lady of the owner had already made arrangements, and he felt a little blushing at the moment, so he smiled wryly and said: "It turns out that the lady of the owner has already arranged it, but I have a lot of trouble!" ”
Erya Zhengse said: "Uncle Liu, you are not a lot of things, because this year is the first year, I am afraid that you have no experience, and some things will not be arranged in a hurry until they come to an end, which may delay things." So I'm going to think about a lot of things first, but next year, it's up to you to think about it, and if I arrange everything myself, then it's not a waste of you carefully selected leaders?! ”
Xiaohu was already standing next to Erya when Erya was talking, with one hand on Erya's waist, and he nodded when Erya said something, much like an echo worm. (To be continued).
