Chapter 257, Building a Peach Blossom Paradise (II)
At the end of the first month, Xiao Nan found Jiang Haizhou and Jiang Haihu two brothers, and asked them to help find thirty strong laborers in Jiangjia Village, on the first day of the first month of February, they began to open up the 1,000 acres of wasteland behind the deserted house, these two people are Jiang Jingxuan's uncle, and now Xiao Nan's uncle, Xiao Nan has just married into Jiangjia Village, except for Dr. Jiang and Jiang Hanpu's family, she is not familiar with other people in this village.

There are a lot of people who need to open up a thousand acres of wasteland, Xiao Nan plans to invite a total of fifty people, however, she hopes to invite twenty from Sangyu Village and thirty places for Jiangjia Village, Jiang Haizhou was a little unhappy when he heard Xiao Nan say that he wanted to invite twenty people from Sangyu Village, but then he remembered that his nephew and daughter-in-law invited him to come over to discuss, that was to give himself face, but it did not mean that he could really be her master, his mind fell here, and the unhappiness in his heart was immediately pressed by him.
Jiang Haihu has no opinion on this, it is Xiao Nan who pays the money, she can invite whoever she wants, he has no room to point fingers, he only asked a few basic questions, such as the standard of employment and wages, etc., Xiao Nan wants to invite so many people to help open up the wasteland, even if there is Mo San's family at home, it is not enough to entertain food, and it is hard work to entertain food, Xiao Nan and Jiang Jingxuan are both Qingfu Town and they are both influential figures, this salary naturally cannot be stingy.
With the continuous development of the court economy in recent years, although the price of goods has not risen much, the income and wages of the common people have risen a little, ordinary people invite workers to do this kind of tiring work, if they do not pack food, one person will give fifty-five Wen a day, Xiao Nan sighed slightly, and then said: "Third uncle, uncle, the land of my family's wasteland is very hard, turning this kind of land is far more difficult than ordinary work, personnel requirements, the age can not be too young, not too big, the body must be healthy and strong, can withstand the tiredness, the salary, naturally higher than the general work, I don't have food, and I open 80 wen a day for one person. ā
The barren mountains behind her house have never been planted with crops, they are all hairy grass and wood thorns with deep roots, the ground is hard, it is difficult to dig, it is impossible to plow with oxen and plows, all need to manually turn over the soil with a hoe and a hoe, this kind of work does require strength, and the salary of eighty Wenwen a day is much higher than that of normal people, but this work is tiring, and it is Xiao Nan and his wife who invite people, Jiang Haizhou and Jiang Haihu After listening to the quotation, they were only slightly stunned and relieved.
Although the work is tiring, but the salary is nearly half higher than that of similar jobs, it is naturally not difficult to invite people, Jiang Haizhou and Jiang Haihu have made up their minds to have a good relationship with Xiao Nan and his wife, and now they are helping them do things for the first time, and they want to leave a good impression.
The first day of February is the beginning of spring, not yet the time when the farm is busy, Jiang Haizhou and Jiang Haihu's family have nothing to do, they naturally refuse to let go of this opportunity to make money, Jiang Haihu's family is the only one, Jiang Haizhou's father and son have joined the army of this wasteland, early in the morning of the first day of February, the thirty strong laborers of Jiangjia Village, plus the twenty strong laborers invited by Xiao Nan from Sangyu Village, were put into the tide of the barren mountain behind Xiao Nan's house.
Jiang Hanpu also planned to come over to help, he didn't plan to ask for wages, he just wanted to come over to help, his family has received too much favor from Xiao Nan over the years, and he has not been able to find a chance to repay, so he can't help it, Xiao Nan refused, with the current economic conditions of Jiang Hanpu's family, he doesn't care about this salary at all, plus he now has a lot of fish ponds in his hands, and there are 100 acres of fertile land, so he can't be busy with his family's affairs, how could Xiao Nan let him come over to help at this time, she naturally knows Jiang Hanpu's thoughts, but she doesn't think that she has helped them much, To put it bluntly, Xiao Yue and Jiang Hanpu can have a good life like now, mostly relying on their own diligence.
Don't talk about Jiang Hanpu's thoughts, but say that Xiao Nan tended to open up the land, and displayed the saplings, flowers and seeds he wanted to plant one by one, and handed them to Mo San, and asked him to find the owner of Ouyang Zhuang in Xinyang, the owner of Ouyang Zhuang's Luyang Village is not only the largest tea merchant in Xinyang, but also the most complete flower and tree seed garden in Xinyang, and Xiao Nan can match these things with him.
Mo San used to be the captain of the nursing home of the rich and noble, and he didn't accompany the master of the family to run around back then, after following Jiang Jingxuan, Jiang Jingxuan intended to train him to be a qualified housekeeper, and he had no experience in the past two years, and now let him deal with these things, after arranging these, Xiao Nan began to think about his own yard.
Xiao Nan's current yard is built well, whether it is the orientation or the structure, in the countryside, it is already very atmospheric, but there is still some distance from the manor in Xiao Nan's imagination, but she is not engaged in garden design, how to transform this yard according to the barren mountains that are being developed outside, so that it can be integrated with the garden outside, but she has no good ideas for a while.
At the end of February, a thousand acres of barren mountains were all turned over, and Xiao Nan's fruit seedlings and flower seeds had arrived, so that Xiao Nan was quite surprised that the owner of Ouyang Village also came over, he came this time, mainly because he heard that Xiao Nan did not make tea this year, and he was worried that since Xiao Nan became famous at the tea ceremony sword meeting, the snow needles that have been listed as treasures in the tribute cannot meet the previous quality requirements.
Xiao Nan couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw him, this person is not only a big tea merchant in Xinyang, but also has unique attainments in gardening design, and after she figured out Ouyang's intentions, she assured him that although the producer of snow needles this year is not herself, the quality will definitely not decline, and then, she pestered him to design a yard for herself.
After listening to Xiao Nan's request, Ouyang Zhuang walked around her yard and the barren mountain twice, and then picked up the pen, which took half a day, and finally gave Xiao Nan a satisfactory design drawing, which is quite different from the appearance of the current yard, but fortunately, there is no need to change the big place, such as the location of the grape trellis, etc., in addition to the yard, and the 1,000 acres of land are planned in detail, where to plant what and so on, one by one.
As for the renovation of the yard, it is the busy season at this time, and the local craftsmen may not understand the drawings, Xiao Nan is ready to put this matter after the autumn harvest, and let Jiang Jingxuan find a skilled craftsman in the county to come back to build.
"Okay, auntie, this garden design has been made for you, you should take me to repay the new tea, this year is the triennial tea ceremony sword meeting, if the quality of this tea is ......" Although the owner of Ouyang Zhuang got Xiao Nan's guarantee, he was still a little relieved. (To be continued.) )
