"Childe, when did you have a winery under your name?" Sui Xing finally couldn't help but ask. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Mingqian was playing with the ink jade in his hand, and his smile showed a hint of helplessness when he heard this: "I thought she just had two or three thousand catties of rice, so I bought it and piled it up in the granary at home." I didn't expect her to have 20,000 catties, and she really lifted a stone and shot herself in the foot. ”

Sui Xing couldn't help but be a little worried: "Is that son going to...?" ”

Li Mingqian took Moyu into his arms, got off the bed and walked to the door, shook his head and sighed: "What else can I do, accompany your grandfather to the workshop where you can collect a few wines!" ”

*********************************

Early the next morning, Wang Jin rushed to the Grange, gathered all the tenants, and arranged for the collection of grain. Because there were ten days, they were not in a hurry, and the tenants originally planned to take advantage of the good weather to collect the grain as soon as possible, so they had no objection to Wang Jin's request.

They are more concerned with another thing.

"Niece of the Wang family, the cotton you let us plant will be harvested in a few days, what will you say about the salary at that time?" A woman in her early thirties, with a blue cloth towel wrapped around her head, smiled and asked, "I have really picked a lot of cotton this year, maybe there are really 200 catties, I look forward to the new cotton to add a few winter clothes to my children!" Her tone was crisp, and she asked questions that everyone was concerned about, and dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at Wang Jian for a while.

"Aunt Yan asked, I've always remembered that. When the rice is harvested, everyone has harvested the last crop of cotton, and the wages are settled with everyone one by one! Wang Jin's answer was also very refreshing.

When everyone heard this, they had a bottom in their hearts, thinking about the cotton that their families had been sending to the Wang family's warehouse one after another since August, and they were looking forward to the final salary.

After this incident, Wang Jian went to his cotton field to look at the records of cotton harvesting in the past month or so.

The fields that used to be snow-white flowers are now almost bare straw, and the abundant fruits have long been picked and stored. There are two newly built warehouses in the field, and there is a small room next to the warehouse, in which Wang Hibiscus is sitting at the table, and the abacus is in hand. The ten long-term workers were also there, and they were excitedly surrounding Wang Jin.

"Eldest niece, how is it, is it your Uncle Jiang and my five acres of land have the best harvest?" Uncle Jiang said happily very confidently.

"Hey, you definitely don't have as much as mine, I collected dozens of pounds yesterday!" Uncle Xu on the side said unconvinced.

"Then I still have some confiscations in my field, I must have more than you!" Uncle Jiang immediately shot back.

"You two don't fight, you two will know when the eldest niece is done." Uncle Yang said idly, "It must be my most!" ”

"Mine more!"

"Mine is the most!"

……

Because of the reward rules specified by Wang Jian earlier, the long-term workers were secretly competing, and the warehouse set up an area to stack their own cotton, and when they saw that they were lagging behind, they desperately competed with the cotton in the field, and they all wanted to live in the field. Wang Jian saw that they were working more energetically in order to compete for the top three, and the cotton harvest was really impressive, and he couldn't help but be proud of his wise move.

But the downside is that you have to hear conversations like this many times a day, and it's a bit of a headache over time.

"Okay, okay, uncles and uncles, after picking this last stubble today, you won't know the result tomorrow." Wang Jin shook the account book in his hand and said with a slight smile: "At present, everyone is equal, and there is not much difference, so this last stubble is very important, everyone..."

Before Wang Jian finished speaking, all the long-term workers rushed out of the house, picked up the basket and went straight to their cotton field for the last wave of harvesting. Wang Jin, who was ignored, sighed helplessly, and couldn't help but laugh happily when he thought of the numbers in the account book, finally not in vain in the hard work of the past few months.

Early the next morning, Wang Jian was picking and washing vegetables for Chen's when the plug came.

"I've picked all the cotton today, and I want to ask Sister Jin'er to settle the bill and see who has the most..."

"So early?" Wang Jin was surprised, and suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Bolt was sent by Uncle Xu and them, right?" ”

The bolt looked a little embarrassed, nodded and said, "Uncle Xu, they arrived at the ground in the morning, just waiting for Sister Jin'er to come over!" ”

Wang Jin knew that these people really couldn't wait, and after going back to the room to get a baggage, he said to the bolt, "Let's go over now." ”

When they arrived at the warehouse, they weighed and recorded the last crop of cotton for everyone, and the long-term workers looked at Wang Jian together, and when she announced the final results, they were so nervous that they didn't dare to come out.

There was a crackling sound of an abacus, and Wang Jian quickly calculated the total amount of cotton that everyone had harvested.

"Fubo, five acres of land will collect a total of 1,420 catties."

"Uncle Zheng, a total of 1,461 catties of five acres of land will be harvested."

"Uncle Jiang, five acres of land will collect a total of 1,502 catties."

…

As Wang Jin reported each person's harvest one by one, the long-term workers all showed expressions of surprise or disappointment, completely ignoring that their cotton yield per mu was already as high as 300 catties.

"Hahaha, I'll just say I'm the most!" As Wang Jin reported the last number, Uncle Yang couldn't help but laugh proudly.

"Look at you like that, if you didn't have five sons to help, how could you take so much?" Uncle Jiang said a little sourly.

"Hey, you have the ability to give birth to five sons!" Uncle Yang was even more proud.

"Okay, okay, let's listen to me first." Wang Jin hurriedly stopped them and said, "This year, everyone has worked extremely hard for this cotton, not only to manage my fifty acres of land, but also to often go to the tenant's house to help take care of it, and I have been busy every day for more than a month. But this year's harvest was also very fruitful. So, I decided to give everyone a bonus of 100 wen! ”

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed, and when they saw Wang Hibiscus open the burden on the table, it was actually several large strings of copper coins and some broken silver, and their eyes were even brighter.

"Uncle Yang, Uncle Jiang, bolt, you receive the most, and there are other rewards." She smiled at the long-term workers, "Let's line up to get it!" ”

At this time, the bonus was to be paid on the spot, and everyone was overjoyed, and consciously lined up to receive the reward one by one.

Seeing that the people in front of him had received a large string of copper coins, Uncle Yang was even more proud, thinking that he could have four hundred Wen, such a long list, and he would go home and walk on the road later, so he would not envy others to death. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't help but grin.

Finally it was his turn, Uncle Yang looked at the copper coin in front of Wang Jin with a smile, and was about to reach out to take it.

"Uncle Yang, I didn't prepare so many copper coins, so yours will use broken silver." As he spoke, Wang Jian weighed four cents of broken silver on a scale and handed it to Uncle Yang.

Taking the small piece of silver in his hand, Uncle Yang's smile was a little stiff. The silver he had always dreamed of, but he felt that it was not as good as copper!

Uncle Xu, who received the money next to him, sneered, feeling that his disappointment that he didn't get the top three was gone all of a sudden.

The other long-term workers also sensed Uncle Yang's thoughts, and they all laughed gloatingly. Only Uncle Jiang, who also took the broken silver, and the plug looked at him with some sympathy.

Seeing that everyone was jubilant, Wang Jin was also in a good mood.

"Now that the cotton has been recovered, let's go home and rest for two days. The day after tomorrow, we'll start peeling the cottonseeds. Wang Jin smiled, "Let's go home with the bonus, the aunts and aunts must have prepared fragrant meat waiting for you!" ”

The crowd was even more happy when they heard this. The long-term workers who had already made meat at home were still calm, and the long-term workers who had not yet prepared said hello to Wang Jian and hurriedly went to the butcher shop to buy meat. Presumably Aunt Huang must be so happy today that she can't keep her mouth shut!

As the long-term workers walked on the road with a spring breeze on their faces, either carrying strips of meat or holding copper coins, the sound of voices similar to the following continued to sound.

"xxx, buy meat to eat today, there are guests at home?"

"There are no guests, I bought my own food!"

"Yikes! xxx This is a fortune, such a big piece of meat, enough to have two or three catties! ”

"Yes, I gave out a bonus today, buy some and go back to satisfy the baby's cravings!"

"xxx, I heard that the Wang family paid out a bonus today, either to buy meat or to hold copper coins, why don't you have anything on you?"

"Hmph, I have too much bonus, I can't get the copper coin, the money sent to me by the owner!"

"Wow, silver! You've made a fortune! ”

….

In the envious and admiring eyes of the neighbors, the long-term workers returned home, and naturally celebrated again.

Of course, there are also people with red eyes, such as the Zhang family of Second Uncle Jiang before.

"But if you grow some cotton, how much can you earn? Behold, this is a man who buys meat and makes money, and he should make more money! When Zhang heard about Wang Jin's bonus this morning, he was even more angry in his heart, and sneered, "I see, according to the posture of the Wang family's daughter, her family's foundation will be lost sooner or later, and then see what she pretends to be a good person!" ”

"Say a few words to me! It's all your bad mouth, and I'll talk nonsense in the future, see if I don't kill you! Second Uncle Jiang dropped his rice bowl, stared at Zhang's fiercely and went out.

Zhang Shi trembled at his gaze, and couldn't help but think of the scene when her husband was angry at him after he came back from Li Laohan's last time. But how did she know that Wang Jian was in the courtyard next door at that time, and she didn't say a word when she heard herself speak, but she asked Li Laohan to tell her husband. Behind the scenes, it can be seen that the daughter of the Wang family will be pretending to be sorry and not having a good mind.

She pursed her lips, picked up her chopsticks and continued eating. Remembering that since the old family went to Wang Jin's house to help, they could eat meat from time to time, and they could only eat one egg at most, and they hated Wang Jin more and more.

It is said that after the second uncle Jiang went out, he went to the eldest brother's house. At noon today, my sister-in-law called her two babies to dinner, and he went to take a look, and by the way, he also wanted to inquire with his eldest brother.

As soon as I entered the door, there was a strong smell of meat, and Uncle Jiang's family and his son and daughter were sitting at the table preparing to start the meal.

"Second child, are you here, have you eaten? Sit down and eat something? Uncle Jiang immediately greeted him when he saw him.

Sister-in-law Jiang was serving a bowl of steaming meat and vegetables, and when she saw him, she greeted him warmly: "Second brother, just now I told your eldest brother that I should call you to come along, just when you come over, sit down and eat again." ”

Second Uncle Jiang hadn't eaten enough, and he was even more hungry when he smelled the fragrance.

He hesitated, saw that his children were looking at him expectantly, and for some reason felt a little sad, nodded to his sister-in-law and said, "Then I'll eat some more here." I'm tired of my sister-in-law. ”

Hearing that he agreed, Sister-in-law Jiang was very happy and immediately brought him a pair of dishes and chopsticks. Second Uncle Jiang sat next to his eldest brother and felt a little in a trance, how long had he not had a meal with his eldest brother? It seems that since she married Zhang, she has been instilled with the concept of "small family" every day, and she has rarely been as close to her eldest brother as before.

He looked at the dishes on this table, and smacked his tongue slightly: "I heard that the Wang family gave you a bonus today, but eldest brother, you have to spend hundreds of dollars on so many meat dishes, right?" ”

"Haha, your eldest brother just got a little bonus, why are you willing to spend so much money on meat." Uncle Jiang said with a smile, pointing to the bowl of braised pork in the middle: "This bowl is really bought with money, and the others are half sold and half given." Hehe, this is your sister-in-law's newly learned craft, you can taste it, what can you eat? ”

Second Uncle Jiang was even more surprised, there was still meat that was half sold and half given? He picked up a dish of chili pepper in front of him and fried "meat", chewed it a few times, and found that it was indeed not pork, the taste was soft but not rotten, fat but not greasy, and it seemed to be better than meat.

"Big brother, what is this made of? I don't think I've ever eaten it, but it's delicious! Second Uncle Jiang said curiously.

"This is the pig's intestine." Uncle Jiang said a little proudly, "Before, the daughter of the Wang family made us a dish for returning to the pig and going into the water, which was delicious, so your sister-in-law went to learn a few dishes from others." You see, that one is pork belly, and that one is pork kidney soup. ”

Second Uncle Jiang remembered an incident he had heard from his daughter-in-law before, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"But your sister-in-law has learned a fur, this taste is far worse than that made by the daughter of the Wang family, so just eat it." Uncle Jiang took a sip of wine, shook his head and squinted and said.

"You can just eat some of them, and pick and choose them, which are beautiful for you." Sister-in-law Jiang scolded with a smile.

After three rounds of drinking, Second Uncle Jiang still couldn't hold back, and asked the eldest brother who was already drunk: "Big brother, is the treatment given by the Wang family really so good?" ”

"Hey, that's definitely not comparable to ten miles and eight towns. Not to mention the high monthly salary, there are rewards for doing well. The daughter of the Wang family always cooks us something delicious. Uncle Jiang was in a very happy mood today, and grinned: "Your eldest brother and I have obviously worked harder than I used to work at home in the past few months, but I have gained a few pounds!" ”

Second Uncle Jiang's smile was a little bitter: "The eldest brother only gained weight as the days went by." ”

Sister-in-law Jiang saw that he was not in the right mood, and arched her husband with her hand.

Uncle Jiang was stunned for a moment, looked at his brother's face before reacting, patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said, "Isn't your family also very good, there is land and land, as long as you work hard, life will be very good." ”

Second Uncle Jiang seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Uncle Jiang: "Big brother, if the Wang family still hires someone, can you help me talk about it." You also know that I am also a good hand at farm work. ”

Uncle Jiang just wanted to agree, but Sister-in-law Jiang opened her mouth first: "Second brother, we can definitely help you talk about this matter." It's just a brother and sister...? ”

"Sister-in-law doesn't care about her. She is a long-haired and short-sighted person, who can only talk about it, and I will still be in charge of family affairs in the future. "Second Uncle Jiang is categorical.

Uncle Jiang and sister-in-law Jiang glanced at each other, both with relief.

"Well, if there is a suitable opportunity in the future, I will talk to the daughter of the Wang family."

Such a scene not only happened in the courtyard of the Jiang family, but there were similar conversations in many places in Qingshui Village, and the Wang family became a hot topic for a while.

The protagonist of the topic, Wang Jin, sat in the warehouse and did not know anything about it, but was looking at the mountains of cotton and silently calculating the harvest.

This year's cotton harvest totaled more than 15,700 catties, which can probably produce more than 6,000 catties of lint. If this income can be maintained every year, the two younger brothers will have their studies and the younger sister's future dowry.

She was in a good mood and went home humming a little song. But I didn't hum for a while, and when I remembered something, my face couldn't help but fall a little.

The last time Jiang Qingliu replied to the letter, she was extremely interested in the "Heavenly Dragon Babu", and her spiritual attack obviously began to take effect. However...

She hasn't written a word this month!
