Chapter 10: Recruitment

The students' enthusiasm for Shen Xiangcheng's recruitment notice, the parents also turned a blind eye, and someone helped them watch the children during the holidays, and gave them money, which was exactly what they couldn't ask for.

Three days later, Shen Xiangcheng received more than a dozen application forms, ranging from elementary school to high school. Xiangcheng now has four acres of land in his hands, and a total of eight people are needed.

She carefully looked at her resume, eliminated the troublemakers who caused trouble in the township on weekdays, and selected a total of five women, three men and eight people.

The youngest of these eight is Li Dongmei, who is in her first year of high school, and the oldest is Liu Yang, who is studying in a junior college in the county.

Shen Xiangcheng chose someone's application and left, her chin propped up the signature pen and pondered, even if it was just equivalent to a summer job, students under the age of 16 were still not in her consideration. was already stared at by the villagers, and it was not good to fall into the tongue of others.

Time waits for no one, just do what you say. Early the next morning, Shen Xiangcheng notified the eight students to come over. Students work in pairs, each responsible for one acre of land.

Including the four acres of land belonging to Shen Xiangcheng's family, which have already been overgrown with wild grass, although there are cabbage seeds and spiritual water and spiritual soil that promote plant growth, but at the beginning, you have to open up the wasteland and loosen the soil.

The workload on the first day was large, and Shen Xiangcheng advanced the salary of the first day in advance. The students' faces were crimson, and they held the red tickets tightly in their hands.

As a delicate little girl, if you want others to convince you to follow you to do your work in a down-to-earth manner, it is definitely not enough to give you enough remuneration, Shen Xiangcheng also took the sickle in her hand and went to the field to mow the grass with the students.

Jiang Jie and Shen Huai are both intellectuals, so they attach great importance to the position of reading. Although Shen Xiangcheng lives in the countryside, she doesn't do much farm work. After Xiangcheng Junior High School went to Qingxia County to study, he only came back from the holidays and did not do farm work. Today is her first real Shimoda.

Huitou grass, horsetail grass, and some unknown grasses are densely covered in the fields. Xiangcheng Qianqian's hands are as white as jade, and she has touched the guitar and taken the microphone, but she has not held the sickle properly.

Shen Xiangcheng suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, and felt sorry for her mother. When I was a child, the meager salary of the teacher was not enough for the family's expenses, so Jiang Jie worked in the fields before and after work as a little subsidy for the family.

The sharp leaves of the horse-tangled grass cut out the bloody wounds in the soft hands, and the heart-piercing pain was even worse than those students who had been crawling in the fields since childhood.

"Sister Xiangcheng, your hand is bleeding, so I'll come." Li Dongmei shook Shen Xiangcheng's hand.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's still two ridges of land to try to get the grass out before it gets dark." Shen Xiangcheng simply bandaged it and continued to work.

After a day's work, the students cleared the grass from the wasteland.

The next day, Xiangcheng borrowed a plough from the village to turn over the soil in the field. No one has been cultivating for a long time, and it has been polluted by chemical fertilizers, and the soil has become slab, and after ploughing, it has become sandy soil without nutrients.

When the students looked at the soil, they secretly screamed that it was not good, and muttered that they wondered if it could be cultivated.

Shen Xiangcheng had already prepared the spiritual soil and spiritual water, and because the quantity was too small, she had to ask the students to spread a small amount of it evenly on the field.

After everything is prepared, the second-generation cabbage seeds that have been transformed by spiritual power are sown in the field, lightly covered with soil, and finally watered with spiritual water again, the growth cycle of the second-generation cabbage is two weeks, and the rest is to wait for it to germinate.

I have to say that the effect of spiritual water and spiritual soil is very great, and as soon as the cabbage has two small young leaves, the weeds around it begin to grow wildly.

Liu Yang took it upon himself to bring herbicides from home and spray them one by one. By the time Shen Xiangcheng found out, Liu Yang had already sprayed the mu of land he was responsible for, and happily asked Shen Xiangcheng for credit.

It's a great credit to steal your own pesticides and actively remove grass!

Well, what a cute silly kid.

Shen Xiangcheng shook her head helplessly, she didn't want to criticize Liu Yang, and she didn't want to dampen the enthusiasm of these children. I had to tell me again and again that the cabbage planted this time was pure natural and pollution-free, and no chemical fertilizers could be applied or pesticides could be used.

100 yuan a day is really not so easy to earn, weeds grow in the fields, and the students have to squat in the field and pull out the grass one by one. There are worms on the cabbage leaves, and the students have to pick them out one by one.

In order to ensure the quality of the cabbage, Shen Xiangcheng had to use the remaining spiritual water and spiritual soil to evolve the acre of land that had been sprayed with pesticides by Liu Yang.

At this time, the spiritual water and spiritual soil in his hands were completely exhausted, and the only thing left was to resign himself to fate.

The old farmers in the township watched a group of bears and children working in the fields as if they were laughing at them.

Just kidding, what age are they, they don't use chemical fertilizers to grow vegetables?

The use of chemical fertilizers is secondary, and the use of pesticides to control weeds and insects?

This kind of cultivation method that does not count labor will eventually be reflected in the price of cabbage at cost, and it may not be that Shen Xiangcheng's cabbage can be sold for one yuan and one catty? Joke!

While everyone was waiting for Shen Xiangcheng to make a joke, the Chinese cabbage emerged from the soil like the most determined warrior, and the leaves were tightly rolled together. The leaves are white and bright, and the leaves are jade. They are like budding girls in the flower season, waiting for the lover to pick.

Pipa Town is not a traditional production area of Chinese cabbage because the soil conditions are not good, so the general yield per mu is four or five thousand catties, which is already considered a bumper harvest, which has to be established at the beginning of sufficient fertilizer and proper management.

The four acres of land used by Shen Xiangcheng are not barren, although they are not barren. If there is no fertilization or weeding on this kind of land, it is good if the cabbage can grow, not to mention the yield per mu.

A week later, when the cabbage was growing densely in the fields, the experienced farmer's jaw dropped in shock. What did these cabbages eat to grow up, how did they grow so fast, one day at a time! Look at this kind of posture, to say the least, there must be a harvest of five or six thousand catties.

The voices of discussion began to decrease, and the farmers stopped in the fields contracted by Shen Xiangcheng. They began to inquire about the origin of this cabbage seed, and according to this yield and growth, Shen Xiangcheng spent so much labor and energy, it seems that it is quite cost-effective.

Like a chief, Orange led the students through the fields over and over again, and the cabbage could be harvested in three days.

Chinese cabbage that is not fully ripe can still be eaten, and it is a good choice for soup, vegetarian stir-frying or even hot pot. In order to reward the students for their hard work in the past two weeks, Shen Xiangcheng gave the children ten catties of Chinese cabbage each in advance and asked them to take home to honor their parents.

The students were full of praise after eating the cabbage, and even Liu Yang, who had never eaten vegetables, also ate five bowls of rice with the spicy cabbage made by his mother.

Xiangcheng put her hands behind her back and smelled the fragrance of the field, she knew that this time it was done!
