Chapter 108: Picking
This year is an extremely busy year, just after moving, the medicinal herbs are ripe and ready to pick, and there is no time to feast the villagers, so they can only hold a big event after collecting the medicinal materials to celebrate the new home.
"Boss, how many of you go to the village to ask, see who is willing to come to our house to work, we can't collect so many medicinal materials?" Picking medicinal herbs is a very tedious job, and it can't be fast, but Master Wang said that you can't pick it too early, and it can't be too late, or it won't affect the medicinal effect, Li Qingshan is also very worried, planting too much, which is the same as harvesting crops.
"Dad, I said hello to Li Li and them two days ago, and some people who don't grow medicinal materials have also said it! They all agreed to come over, and of course some of them went to the village chief's uncle's house! "Li Anfu has already said hello in advance, so he won't be in a hurry now.
"That's good, that's good! Let's start tomorrow! We all have experience in dandelions, and so do the people in the village, and the rest is estimated to have to be helped by Master Wang from the pharmacy! "Everyone is not familiar with the specific picking methods of hyssop and Aracea, not Yin Chen and dandelion, everyone has already been in contact!
"Then I'll go and ask Uncle Wang in two days, let's pick dandelions first! Batch by batch! Li Anfu is now also comfortable with arranging work, and he has no shrinking back when Li Hui first came.
"That's good!" Li Qingshan touched his beard and looked relieved! I am getting more and more satisfied with the performance of my sons.
Early the next morning, the field where the village planted medicinal herbs was crowded with people, and a piece of green medicinal herbs looked very gratifying, looking from afar, with the wind and waves, so that those who did not grow medicinal herbs were envious.
"Uncle Li, you're going to get rich this time. Look at how gratifying this herb is! Li Dahe was envious.
"Big river, don't you also plant it at home? The harvest will not be less! Li Anfu interjected, Li Dahe's family is indeed planted, but there are not many, the two of them are not like Li Dagui's family, they dare to fight and dare to try, they are afraid of losing money. Only a small portion was planted.
"Hey, hey. Didn't I listen to you? I knew that my family would be planted into medicinal herbs, which is much better than crops! Just those few acres of land, you can't get three or five taels a year! "There is no way to regret it. But next time, be sure to seize the opportunity.
"Alright, be content!" Li Anfu patted Li Dahe on the shoulder, this kind of day was unimaginable before, and he should learn to be content and happy.
"That's that!" Li Dahe smiled awkwardly. But he is an honest person who is envious. There is no jealousy at all in my heart, and I am still very grateful to Li Anfu's family.
"Listen to me, big guy!" Li Qingshan stood taller. It is necessary to announce the system of wages!
"Today, our family started picking medicinal herbs, and as long as they came to help, they all had money, but this time it was not calculated by the day. It depends on whether the picking is neat and clean, and there is little damage, after all, it is not easy for the medicinal herbs to mature after a few months, so ah. Two catties of wet and good quality pennies, and bad quality of three catties of pennies. More work, more pay, do the big guys agree? Li Qingshan shouted loudly, trying to make everyone below hear.
As soon as his voice fell, the pot exploded in a noisy, and he was very excited, two catties and one penny, one hundred and eighty catties picked by a strong laborer a day is not a problem, how much is it that day, fifty yuan! Even women can earn twenty or thirty yuan, which is a lot.
This method is still Li Hui remembered, no way, there are many people, not everyone is a real person, there must be a cheater, but there is an agreement between his own family and a pharmacy shop, and he can't provide bad quality medicinal materials, not to mention the price, that is, if the medicine is not good, it will not pit the patient, so I would rather pay more money to ensure the integrity and quality of the medicinal materials.
"Hui'er has this idea good, let's just spend a little more, but we can't live up to the trust of Young Master Situ, they have helped us a lot!" Li Qingshan agrees very much, to be a man to be trustworthy, honesty is really fundamental.
So there is the news announced by Li Qingshan just now, which is also good news for the people in the village, that is, if you are serious, the price will be much higher, and some families of more than a dozen people will have four or five hundred wen a day, which is also a huge amount of money.
"Uncle Li, is it okay for children? They can do the work, too! "No, a young man saw a few children in his own house, children from poor families can do anything, not so squeamish, they can pick medicinal herbs and the like, but the speed is slower, and if they can, it is a lot of money.
"There is no distinction between men and women, young and old, but there is one point, you can't just step on the medicinal herbs, this is a heavy fine!" There must be rules for work, and if someone destroys it at will, then the Li family will not be willing.
"Don't worry, Uncle Li, how can we do that immoral thing, and definitely give you the job to do it!" As soon as the young man waved his hand, it was all right.
"Alright, let's get started! If you pick it, you can go to the side and weigh it, someone will keep the account, the salary will be remembered first, and the medicinal materials will be sold and then given to everyone? "Li Qingshan knows that the surplus silver in the family is not enough to pay everyone's wages, but it is not a matter if the medicinal materials are sold!
"It's okay, Uncle Li, we all believe in you, it's okay to pay your wages sooner or later!" A group of young people replied in unison, for the character of the Li family, now the people in the village are extremely admired, and there is no need to worry about them cheating people, which is also the reputation and status that the Li family has accumulated little by little.
For a while, the Li family's land, the village chief's house was very lively, the village chief came to discuss with Li Qingshan early, and they also adopted the Li family's method, and now the village chief also admires Li Qingshan's family, so he has to follow their footsteps.
I only saw the lively scene in the fields, groups of three or five, as well as adults and children, reminding them from time to time to work hard, and when they earned money, they could buy them delicious food.
Hearing this promise, the children are even more enthusiastic, the little hands are not much slower than the adults, think of the sweet sugar in the heart, the fragrant meat in the mind, the children are not fighting, hard picking.
"Okay, it's getting late, and I can't see clearly, so let's stop first! Tomorrow to continue! Li Qingshan looked at the sky, the sun had set, but the villagers didn't mean to stop, so they beckoned everyone to stop, and the rush was not here for a while, and it would affect the quality if they couldn't see clearly.
Not to mention that the villagers are tired, Li Hui and several people are responsible for bookkeeping, and they are not lightly tired, there is no way, there are many people, baskets of medicinal materials are constantly being sent over, from beginning to end Hu's Li Zhou's and Li Hui, who is responsible for bookkeeping, have no time to rest, so there are still people queuing for a long time.
