Chapter 163: Delivering Food
After the idea was decided, Ying'er took advantage of the gap between helping Lu Qian pack up her clothes, hid the few items in her bedroom every three or five times, and then found an excuse to go to Beijing every six months to make a net profit.
"Wow, I didn't expect my warbler to be so smart. But I promise you, after you marry me, I will never let you cry like this again, and you can stay at home and be your wife. I swear. ”
The fifth child is a promise and an oath, which makes Ying'er's originally depressed mood much better. She has even begun to imagine a better life in the future.
"Huh? One thing suddenly occurred to me, we told the kitchen not to cook today, that ...... What does the mute man who works in the fields eat? ”
In Ye Xiaoyu's house in Nanyuan, Lu Qian, who had finished lunch, suddenly asked such a question. "Dumb" is the nickname she gave Qinglang, just like "Liu Fatzi".
Hearing Lu Qian say this, Ye Xiaoyu also remembered. Usually the kitchen prepares lunch for the workers, but today Lu Qian was angry and drove all the old mothers who cooked in the kitchen back, which didn't affect the two of them at all, but forgot that there was still a group of people in the field who didn't have anything to eat.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu hurriedly got up, pulled Hong'er to the kitchen, simply scooped up the rice, asked Hong'er to increase the heat, and started to stir-fry while cooking on the fire. It's already afternoon, and if we don't hurry up, the sunny weather should be fine, but the other people working in the fields can't wait for food, and they will probably be hungry enough to rebel.
Simply stir-fry a few dishes, and put the cooked rice in a casserole. called Uncle Yang to help carry the food to the car, and rushed to the field in a hurry. Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu was in such a hurry, Lu Qian didn't bother her, although she thought that there was no food to eat on a sunny day, but the sun was so big, she didn't want to risk heat stroke to go out, it just so happened that Liu Mei'er's clothes for herself were also done, this kind of thing in the field, just let Ye Xiaoyu, a tomboy, go to work, and she has more important things to do now.
Uncle Yang knew that Ye Xiaoyu was in a hurry. So the carriage also ran very fast. But when she arrived in the field, she saw Qing Lang sitting alone in the hut at the head of the field, and there was no sign of other hired workers.
No way?
Aren't these people really going on strike because they don't have lunch?
Alas, such a temperament as Sunny Weather. Even if those people are making a fuss and want to leave. He probably won't stop him.
"It's just you. What about the others? ”
Moving the meal to the thatched house with Uncle Yang, Ye Xiaoyu looked at Qinglang condescendingly and asked.
God forbid, don't be the news that those people don't do it.
"I'm going back to dinner."
glanced up at Ye Xiaoyu. Sunny replied lightly. After working in the field for a few days, Ye Xiaoyu found that Qinglang had tanned a lot, but it made the contours of his face more distinct, and he was so good-looking that people wanted to beat him up.
"Huh? I brought the food over, and it was a little late today, so those people didn't make a fuss, did they? ”
Some didn't understand Qinglang's answer, Ye Xiaoyu asked with a weak heart. Because when I hired these farmers before, I told them that they would have two meals, and there was no food on the first day of work today, and the Lu family's reputation in the village was not so good recently, Ye Xiaoyu was really worried about being burdened with untrustworthy words again.
"Tell them to go back to eat first, and the meal money will be counted together in the wages at that time."
This time Qing Qing didn't look up, and said while playing with the weeds in his hands.
“……”
Ye Xiaoyu didn't know how to answer for a while, she firmly believed that she had heard it correctly just now, and now she just wondered if the person in front of her was the sunny person who was paralyzed and indifferent and couldn't say two words a day. I didn't expect Qinglang to know how to say this to the employee, Ye Xiaoyu didn't know whether he overestimated his indifference or underestimated his ability, because his appearance to the employee was completely like a normal person.
Or, the person may not be "mentally retarded" in daily life, he just doesn't want to show it.
"Oh! By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you? The rice is here, eat it while it's hot. ”
The amount of food for four or five grown men, you can eat as many bowls as you want.
Qing Lang didn't answer, silently walked over and took a bowl of rice and sat on the small bench to eat.
Ye Xiaoyu walked inside, sat on the bamboo bed that Qinglang had slept on before, and silently looked at Qinglang who was eating.
She found that only when she was eating, did she look like a normal person. But is it that if no one brings food, Qinglang has been sitting still and not eating, thinking of this, Ye Xiaoyu was shaken by the opinion he had just changed, and Qinglang still didn't look like a normal person.
"You should go have a meal too......"
What if no one delivers, are you going to be hungry all day?
"Someone will guard the ground."
Qing Lang replied unprecedentedly, he had ignored all the inconsequential issues like this before.
Now Ye Xiaoyu didn't know what to go back to, she felt that she was not qualified to express any opinion on Qinglang's persistent attitude, what he did was not wrong, it was she who made the mistake.
"Did you know that it's rude not to say anything when you leave......
After Qinglang finished eating, Ye Xiaoyu sat with him for a while, no one spoke, the atmosphere was too stuffy, and suddenly remembered Qinglang's behavior last night, Ye Xiaoyu said a little angrily.
"It's ...... started"
Without waiting for Ye Xiaoyu to finish speaking, Qinglang stood up and walked out, lightly dropping such an unnutritious sentence.
Do you know that it's rude to look like this, it's just a bad beating!!
Ye Xiaoyu was so angry that she wanted to kick him directly in the back, she now regretted sending food to this man with facial paralysis, a person like this should be starved to death......
Sunny is very inadequate, but his words are true.
The hired men who had gone back to eat had returned to the fields one after another. Each of them brought the cultivators, and it looked like they were about to start work.
Summer is not the right season to grow crops, and with such a hot noon, it is impossible to plant in the field. The replanting work can only be done in the cool early morning or late afternoon after the sun goes down, but the reason why these hired workers come to work at noon is because Sunny has given them the work in the greenhouse.
After the garlic seedlings in the greenhouse were harvested last time, Ye Xiaoyu asked someone to pull out some of them and sprinkle some cabbage seeds instead.
Her idea is very simple, and I don't know if it's scientific, it's summer, the sunniest season of the year, and in such a light environment, all the crops in the field have a healthy green color. But this kind of healthy color is too common in the market, seasonal dishes, fierce competition, even if you take it to the market to "retail", the price is not high, not to mention that Ye Xiaoyu is a "vegetable supplier", taking the wholesale price.
So she thought of the so-called "baby cabbage" in her previous life, this kind of vegetable is similar to Chinese cabbage in Ye Xiaoyu's opinion, but the size and stalk are much smaller, the leaves are tender and yellow, and the stiffness of Chinese cabbage is less, and it tastes very soft. Although she studied agronomy in her previous life, it was only an elective course, and she did not learn too deeply about the cultivation of various vegetables, Ye Xiaoyu did not understand the planting principle of this "baby cabbage", but this did not prevent her from "divergent thinking".
When planting garlic seedlings, the roof of the greenhouse was already half covered with thatch, and this time she hired someone to cut the thatch of a large ox cart, and covered all the thatch that had been braided on the oiled paper of the greenhouse roof, covering the roof like building a house. The windows around the greenhouse were blocked with wooden planks, allowing only light to shine through the gaps in the boards.
The greenhouse was tossed by Ye Xiaoyu like this, the temperature inside was still very high, but the light was not too much, so that the garlic and cabbage planted in it could grow, but they looked tender yellow because they did not get enough sunlight.
What Ye Xiaoyu wants is such an effect.
There is actually a reason why there are many kinds of cabbage in the greenhouse.
A few days after Lu Yishou finished negotiating with those vegetable merchants in the capital, Ye Xiaoyu received a letter from Liu's shopkeeper. In addition to apologizing for the loss of the Lu family, the letter also proposed a very good construction, which Ye Xiaoyu also wanted to propose.
The letter said that in view of the abundant supply of vegetables on the market now, in order to avoid the accumulation of vegetables, those vegetable merchants accepted the construction proposed to them by the shopkeeper Liu, and changed the supply method of the Lu family, that is, from the whole batch supply to the batch supply, instead of supplying once every few months as before, as long as the Lu family has vegetables, they can be shipped to the capital every day.
When Ye Xiaoyu saw the news at that time, the whole person jumped up happily. This is the right way to trade, as before to determine the delivery date of the whole batch of shipments, is not scientific at all, once an accident like this one, the loss party is the road.
Alas, I still have no experience, if I had seen the unreasonableness of that contract earlier, their Lu family would not have suffered such a heavy loss this time.
But after thinking about it for a while, Ye Xiaoyu found that the construction of Shopkeeper Liu was good, but there were still some things that needed to be improved, so she went to Lu Yishou and his wife to discuss countermeasures, and told them the good news from the capital.
After the three of them discussed, Lu Yishou and his wife agreed with Ye Xiaoyu's supplementary opinion, that is, to supply vegetables to customers in the capital every day, with no limit on the quantity, but to ensure freshness. At the same time, the quantity and variety of vegetables supplied each time are written on a piece of paper, and the other party confirms and signs on it, and then the fifteenth road home of each month goes to the merchants in the capital to settle with these bills. As for the price of vegetables, common ones like Chinese cabbage and cowpeas are priced on the market, and uncommon ones such as garlic sprouts and baby cabbage can be sold for a period of time to see how the sales volume is priced again.
Although the cost of transportation will increase appropriately, it can ensure that there is a risk that the supply cannot be reached on a regular basis, anyway, Uncle Yang who delivers the goods is a long-term worker of the Lu family, and helps in the Lu family all the year round, as long as the appropriate salary is added.
