Chapter 127 Hiring a Long Worker

Another lame old man said: "My name is Zhao Sheng, I am fifty years old this year, don't look at my broken leg now, but I am a good hand at serving the fish pond and planting lotus roots." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Before, I was serving the fish pond for the main family on a village in Suihe County, Liaodong Prefecture, but I was dismissed by the main family when I suddenly suffered a bad disaster. On the way to escape, he broke his leg again. ”

Luo Youli frowned and looked at a few people, obviously thinking about it.

Seeing that Luo Youli didn't speak, the old man took two steps closer and said with some eagerness: "However, I still have a lot of strength now, and I can do any job." ”

Seeing that the old man was rude to Luo Youli, the tooth man glanced at the old man threateningly, and then smiled at Luo Youli and said, "These people don't understand the rules, don't see the second brother Luo." If you are not satisfied, there are other people, and there is no drag on your hands and feet. ”

When the tooth man said this, not only the old man, but also Chen Liuguang's daughter-in-law also looked anxious, and finally met a family that might want to hire them, and the tooth man said this, who would hire them.

Luo Youli: "Don't worry, I'm just hesitating whether to hire them." "Now is the time when there is a shortage of manpower, a lack of strength, and a lack of craftsmanship. Originally, I thought that it would be best to have both strength and profit, so that I could not delay both. It's just that although these people have craftsmanship, they spend twice as much money to support them. So Luo Youli hesitated.

Luo Ran had already decided in his heart that he wanted to hire these people. First of all, Chen Liuguang can still take care of his two children and his wife who is not in good health at this time, which means that his conduct is okay. As for the old man, I don't know how he behaves, but his skills are always good.

Hearing Luo Youli say this, Chen Liuguang and his wife were particularly anxious and said: "This lord and young lady, as long as they hire us, even if they pay us less." "I was going to say that it was okay not to pay the salary, but my wife pulled her sleeves and changed her words.

Yes, if you don't have a salary, how can you buy medicine for your wife?

The old man was also anxious to say: "This master, don't look at me like this, I can do any job." I don't want to be paid, just give me a place to live, and just eat in one bite. ”

Luo Youli was soft-hearted in the end, looking at these sick and weak people, like tooth people, he nodded and said, "Just a few of them." ”

Unexpectedly, Luo Youli really hired a few of them, and the tooth man hurriedly prepared the deed paper.

This time, a five-year contract was signed, during which the main family provided accommodation and meals, and the long-term workers worked for the main family. Chen Liuguang is younger and more energetic, with 800 yuan a month, and Wei and his two children also have to work, taking care of their family of four.

The old man Zhao Sheng is 600 wen a month, and he eats and lives.

In addition, each long-term worker wears two seasons of clothing a year, Boxing rites, etc.

At this time, this is a lot of wages for them.

After a few people signed the deed, Chen Liuguang and his wife and the old man were all smiling, and even the two children were also very happy. Unexpectedly, the lord's family was still very kind, not only hired them, the wages were not low, but also other rituals and so on.

Now that the family has no extra place to live, they let their two families live directly on the Zhuangzi.

Zheng prepared clean clothes for them before Luo Youli, and asked Wei to change them to make do with them. The next day, Luo Youli took them to turn the ground out of the Zhuangzi. After explaining the places they paid attention to, Luo Youli, Zheng and Luo Ran went to Fucheng again to buy a carriage.

Buying a carriage is already imperative for Luo Ran's family. Luo Wenxuan studied at Zhihe Academy, and he had to take a carriage every time. I still have to go to Zhaogouzhuang and Chenlizhuang in a few days, and I can't spend a few taels of silver every time. And there will be more times when you need it in the future.

When he arrived at the place where he sold livestock and horses last time, Luo Youlizai took a closer look. A horse of the same size cost more than thirty taels of silver, and with the matching carriage, it cost a total of forty-five taels of silver. Last time, Luo Youli had already learned how to drive a carriage from Liu San, so when he went back, the family went back in a carriage.

After buying the carriage, Luo Ran's purse immediately shrank a lot.

There were two hundred and thirty taels left for the New Year, twenty-one taels for the New Year, eight taels for a car ride a few days ago, ten taels for fruit saplings and lotus root seeds, thirty or forty taels for my brother's study, sixteen taels for manure and grain seeds, and one hundred and seven taels of silver left after buying a carriage.

Fruit saplings and lotus root seeds still need to pay another nineteen taels, which means that there are only eighty-eight taels of silver left. Among them, dozens of taels will be left as the cost of the brother's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Money, money, lack of money.

By the way, there are still fish fry that have not been bought. As for the fry, the nearest place to sell the fry is also sixty or seventy miles away.

Good and bad. Fortunately, there are fewer fish fry sellers, and there must be fewer fish farmers, and there will be a market in the future. The disadvantage is that the fry are sold too far, and there must be a lot of losses on the way. But there is no way.

After the spring ploughing was over, it was already early March, and Luo Youli took Chen Liuguang and Zhao Sheng to Pingyang County and asked them to send fruit tree seedlings and lotus root seeds together. With Chen Liuguang and Zhao Sheng watching from the side, Luo Youli was not worried about the quality of the saplings and lotus roots.

On this day, Luo Youli came back in the middle of the night.

As soon as the morning dawned, dozens of people hired by the Luo family had already come to Zhuangzi. Help plant fruit trees and lotus roots.

There is Chen Liuguang watching the fruit tree, and Luo Youli and Zhao Laohan watching the lotus root.

It took a whole day to get everything done.

The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the unique aroma of earth fills the crisp spring air. Wildflowers of all colors are already blooming in the fields by the roadside.

In March, these two days happened to be Luo Wenxuan's rest, and Luo Youli, Luo Wenxuan and Zhao Laohan drove a carriage to buy fish fry in the middle of the night.

I came back the next afternoon, along with a waterwheel to deliver the fry.

Here, common freshwater fish are grass carp, carp, crucian carp, silver carp, and silver carp. There is also a slightly more expensive osmanthus fish. The price of grass carp, carp and crucian carp is about the same, about 14 wen a catty, silver carp is slightly cheaper, 11 wen per catty, silver carp is 15 wen a catty, the number of osmanthus fish is small, the meat is more delicious, and each catty can be sold for 25 wen a catty. Of course, this is the general average price, and the price varies depending on the freshness and size and quality of the fish. And depending on the season, the price of fish will fluctuate slightly.

For example, during the Chinese New Year, fish is more expensive.

There are several types of fry bought this time: carp, grass carp, crucian carp, osmanthus carp, silver carp and silver carp. If you buy in bulk, carp, crucian carp, silver carp and silver carp are about two tails of three pennies, grass carp is one penny each, and the fry of cinnamon fish are slightly more expensive, three cents per tail.
