Chapter Seventy-Two: Asking for a Short Job
The next day, Dabao and Lin He took the orchid paste they made and sent it to Caidiexuan, Uncle Wen felt that the taste of this orchid paste was a little more fragrant than the plum blossom paste, saying that it was a good thing, Uncle Wen also said that the business of Hecai dolls was getting better and better, and after a while, if the business continued to rise, he planned to open the shop in the county.
This Lin He also agreed, like this kind of puppet, for the poor, this toy is a luxury, only the bigger the place, the better this kind of thing will sell, Uncle Wen said to see if the sales in the past few months are stable, and then decide whether to open a branch, where to open, Lin He let Uncle Wen take the idea, and the matter is almost done.
At home, Erniu did not go to the field, walked around in the village, looked at the fish pond in the village, there were originally a few fish ponds in the village, but because some villagers raised fish, did not raise, everyone felt that the fish pond was useless, so it was abandoned, some because of the drought when it was dry, some of them were thrown into a lot of messy things in it, and they could not be used to raise fish, only they opened up another fish pond. In the end, I decided that there is a riverbank land not far from the river, which is about the size of an acre of land, which is the most suitable for opening up a pond, and the water is relatively close, and it is more convenient to catch fish fry and put them in the pond at that time.
Lin He also felt that the land was very good, the size was also appropriate, as long as he opened it up himself, I am afraid that the price would not be too expensive, and when the fish fry went to the river to catch some, if there were some on the market, I would buy some more.
The fish can be eaten by pulling some weeds, and there are pigs and chickens at home to make fish food, and it does not cost much, but the profit of fish is very considerable.
Everyone agreed, Erniu took some gifts from home to the patriarch's house, and told the patriarch that he wanted to buy the land, Erniu has been very good at being a man since the matter of buying the field, and during the New Year's holiday, the family will buy something to give to the patriarch's family, and the patriarch is indeed very satisfied with Erniu's ability to do things.
Now I heard Erniu say that he wants to buy the riverside land. opened his mouth and said, "Erniu." What's the use of buying that piece of riverbank land, it's hard to open it because it's surrounded by stones, if you want to buy land, you can buy some good land. ”
Erniu heard the patriarch's concerned tone and said, "Patriarch, I'm planning to open a pond by myself." I want to try raising some fish, it's closer to the river, and it's better to divert water or something. ”
The patriarch heard Erniu say that he wanted to raise fish, and he didn't say much, Erniu's family made some money during this time, and the whole village knew about it. Thinking that he also had his own ideas, he said, "Erniu, this fish has been raised by people in the village before, but it has not been raised in the end, you have to be sure." That piece of land belongs to the village, and there is no owner, if you want it, you will have five taels of silver per acre, how big do you want? ”
Erniu said, "Hmm." Thank you Patriarch for your concern. I'm just trying, too. I want about one acre of land, when do you think I will find someone to measure the land? ”
The patriarch still insisted on buying the second cow when he saw it. I asked Erniu to pay the money, and promised to find someone to measure the land in the afternoon, and then go to the government tomorrow to get the land deed.
Erniu got an answer and went home.
The patriarch was very efficient, and in the afternoon he brought a few people from the village to measure the land, saying that tomorrow he would let Erniu go to the town with him to the government to get the land deed, and Erniu could open up the land.
But this is the beginning of spring, when the corn in the family field is about to be planted, and several acres of wheat are planted in the rented field, and it is also the time when we need to remove weeds, and I am still too busy all of a sudden.
Lin He felt that this was also the case, if he let his father and Father Qin be in the field, he didn't know when he was going to get it, so he insisted that Erniu go to the village and hire some short-term workers, preparing to finish some things within two days, and don't waste time on the fish farming side.
Time over there is indeed money, and if you can raise fatty fish one day earlier, you can make money earlier. Erniu listened to Lin He's words and felt that it was the same, and finally negotiated a salary of thirty wen a day, not including food and accommodation, and planned to invite more than a dozen short-term workers to help.
The people in the village, Erniu didn't know which ones were free, so they simply went to find Ya Yu over, Ya Yu was still the one who bought the field last time Erniu, and listened to Erniu's family pay 30 a day to invite someone, and said happily, I can find you as much as you want.
The next day, Yayu brought ten people over, seeing that they are usually used to doing crop work, I heard that there are thirty Wen a day, some even the family things have been put down temporarily, and they came here to do it, and the people brought by Yayu did not talk much, and immediately went to the ground with Erniu, and more than a dozen people went to the field and started to work in full swing.
Those short-term workers have been working for a while, and He doesn't know where he heard the news, so he dragged Qingshan and Lin Dajiang over, found Erniu, and asked, "Second uncle, what's the matter with you, ask someone to work, give such a high salary a day, and do it for two days, you see your brother and your nephew sitting at home, you don't invite, what do you mean?" ”
Er Niu listened to He's words, the face on his face was a little unsightly, and he just said lightly, "No, I thought that my sister-in-law's field was also going to do work now, and I was afraid that you would not be free, so I didn't tell you." ”
He said with a smile, "Our family only has a few acres of land, isn't there still me and Qingshan's daughter-in-law at home, your family has so much land, so they seem to help you, and our family's work is almost done." It's thirty a day, right? After speaking, he pushed Dajiang to Erniu's side.
Erniu glanced at his eldest brother, and said with some embarrassment, "But I have hired everyone, there are more than ten short-term jobs, and they are all full." ”
Dajiang and Qingshan were hard-pulled by He's family, and they felt embarrassed, but when they heard Erniu say this, Dajiang pushed He's and whispered, "Why don't we go back, Erniu's family is full, and we still need people to do work in our own family." ”
Qingshan also felt a little embarrassed, and also whispered, "Yes, mother, let's go back." ”
He ignored them, and continued to say to Erniu, "Second uncle, you are too much, I brought your brother and your nephew, you don't let them do it, I'd rather let outsiders do it than your own family, how do you do this?"
Erniu is not very easy to answer, his eldest brother is also here, he said too much, his eldest brother is afraid that it is also uncomfortable, here Dajiang Xu saw Erniu's embarrassment, and said loudly, "Erniu, you are full, forget it, I thought you still need talent to come over with your sister-in-law to have a look, don't be embarrassed, you go busy with yours, let's go back first." ”
Erniu saw the appearance of his eldest brother, his heart softened a little, the eldest brother and the sister-in-law are indeed different, and besides, it is his own eldest brother, anyway, it is okay to have one or two more people in the field, it is good to finish it earlier, and it is also saved to talk nonsense with the sister-in-law, and said, "Brother, you come with Qingshan, it is better for more people to finish things early." ”
Da Jiang still confirmed it again and said, "Erniu, if you don't let me go alone, Aoyama will go back to his own house to do things." ”
He's "The second uncle has said that he wants someone, you and Qingshan will go together to help." ”
Erniu nodded and said, "Come along, it's okay, big brother." After speaking, he smiled and comforted his eldest brother.
He Shi heard that Erniu was relieved, so he walked back happily, and was thinking in his heart, these two people are more than 100 yuan in two days, which is only 10 yuan a day to do things outside, although it is not included in food, but only a few yuan a day of food, it is really earned, if it is not for his own family and waiting to go to the ground, he will also go.
