Looking at the busy lotus root diggers in the lotus pond, taking out a long lotus root from the sludge from time to time, Lord Huang was surprised.

He stroked the short beard under his chin and sighed, "I really didn't expect to see such a busy lotus root picking scene in such a season." ”

"That's right, this is the time to plant lotus roots. However, it is precisely because of this that the lotus root is particularly precious at this time. Shen Huairen said.

Lord Huang looked at the lotus root diggers who looked like clay figures, and said with some distress, "These lotus root diggers are really hard, look at their waists have been bent, where can ordinary people stand it." ”

"Alas, yes, in fact, it's not just this lotus root, what kind of food we eat on weekdays, it's not through their hard work." Shen Huairen also sighed.

Lord Huang nodded yes.

Then he turned his head and asked Qiduo how the wages of these workers were calculated.

Qiduo said how to settle wages.

"Well, well, the girl is very kind, she works more and gets more, which improves the enthusiasm of the employees, and at the same time does not harsh the employees. This is a good idea, who came up with it? Lord Huang smiled and nodded in praise.

In this era, the wages of other people's employees were calculated on a daily basis, and there was no method of settlement of piecework wages, so he asked.

"Hey, it's me." Qiduo smiled innocently.

Lord Huang and Shen Huairen both stared at her seriously, their eyes full of disbelief.

Especially Shen Huairen, he was thinking, how could this girl be so smart, how many novel ideas and ideas did she have in her head?

"It's amazing, you girl is so powerful, you can come up with such a good way. Girl. You tell me. How did you come up with this? "Lord Huang praised the seven flowers. I am also interested in the creation of this method.

He thought about it for a moment and thought that if this method of wage settlement could be spread throughout the Daimyo Dynasty, it would definitely promote economic development.

Qiduo didn't expect that his small actions were very likely to drive the change of the entire Daimyo Dynasty.

Lord Huang's question made her a little embarrassed, this idea was not originally thought up by herself, but by her predecessors in her previous life. I'm just using it for my own sake.

But she still answered Lord Huang's question like this, "Lord Huang, Uncle Shen, that's right, when our family was about to hire someone to dig lotus roots, my fourth uncle was worried that someone would not work hard with their wages.

Because such people do exist, and we can't be like the landlords, let the overseers watch everyone work with whips, which we can't do, they are all neighbors.

Afterward. I thought, since I get the same salary. Some people do more and some people do less, if you do more, you will get more money, if you do less, you will take less money, if you don't do it, you will have no money to take, will it be better?

I told my father and fourth uncle my thoughts, and they all agreed, saying that this is very fair, improve everyone's enthusiasm, and secondly, it can also prevent people from fishing in troubled waters, after all, our family is not that rich family, and money must be used on the blade. ”

Lord Huang and Shen Huairen listened carefully to Qiduo's words, and they both muttered for a long time.

They all thought that for the same salary, some people would work more and others would do less, and this situation also existed among those officials in the imperial court.

With the same official rank, with the same salary, some people did their best to serve the Daimyo Dynasty.

But some people only take money and do not work, and eat and wait for death every day.

Qiduo blinked at them, thinking that they might have been thundered by this thought.

Don't blame them, piecework is a novelty for them, and it takes time to accept it.

"Ha Lu Ha, Zhonghe, this niece of yours is amazing, these ideas are fresh, but they are very practical." Lord Huang looked at Shen Huairen this time and praised it.

Zhonghe is Shen Huairen's word.

Shen Huairen also smiled and praised Qiduo.

Qiduo smiled embarrassedly and modestly.

After a few more cold words, under Shen Huairen's signal, Qiduo took the lotus root and showed it to Lord Huang.

Qiduo took the lotus root that was still stained with thin mud, broke them in front of Lord Huang, and used a sharp small shovel to cut a section of the lotus root, revealing a snow-white heart.

"Lord Huang, look, this is the lotus root that has just been dug up, we have powder lotus root suitable for simmering and stewing, and crispy lotus root suitable for stir-frying and cold dressing, all of which are guaranteed to be fresh and fresh." Qiduo handed the lotus root to Lord Huang, let him look at it carefully, and at the same time gave a brief introduction to the lotus.

Lord Huang watched the lotus root being dug out of the mud with his own eyes, and saw that the lotus root was snow-white in color and had enough moisture, so what else was there to worry about.

The reason why he proposed to come to see the lotus root was that he thought that if the lotus root at this time was not dug up, it would not be rotten, and he was a little uneasy.

Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, my heart is at ease.

"If you don't dislike it, you can bring some lotus root back to taste first, and if you think it's appropriate, you can decide to buy it." Qiduo said again.

Lord Huang nodded and looked at Shen Huairen, "Zhonghe, have you ever eaten this lotus root?" ”

If the lotus root is going to be taken to the capital, he naturally can't be careless, otherwise he will miss a big deal at that time.

Shen Huairen nodded seriously, "Well, I've eaten it twice, anyway, I don't know if it's the seven girls' cooking skills or the lotus root, I think it's better than the lotus root I've eaten before." ”

"What? Can a little girl still cook a good dish? Lord Huang asked in surprise.

He knew that Shen Huairen was very picky about eating, and if he could get Shen Huairen's praise, he must not be wrong.

"Hey, it's okay." Qiduo is not modest, sometimes you can't be humble, you have to be confident.

She rolled her eyes, and then said, "Uncle and aunt love me, even if I don't do it well, they say it's delicious, I don't know if it's delicious." Lord Huang, if you don't dislike our simple and vulgar countryside, you go to my house with your uncle in the evening, I will cook you a few side dishes, and you can criticize and criticize, okay? ”

Lord Huang was a little moved.

However, he was worried that this trip would make Qiduo's family spend money and effort, and he couldn't do it.

So he shook his head and refused, saying that there was something to do in the evening.

Shen Huairen saw his thoughts and said with a smile. "Brother Huang. You'll be leaving in a few days. We don't know when we'll see each other again. It's rare to have such an opportunity, and I'll call my sister-in-law and wife together later, go to my house for a gathering, and let's have a good talk. ”

"Okay then." Lord Huang thought about it for a while, and finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll go cook." Seven laughs.

"Ha Luha, well, if I don't want to try your craft. I won't promise your uncle. Lord Huang joked with a smile.

Shen Huairen smiled at him with his hand.

Both of them were very emotional, as if they hadn't been so happy for a long time.

I don't know if it's the busy and lively scene in front of them that makes them happy, or the little person around them makes them happy.

After laughing, Lord Huang said seriously to Qiduo, "Little girl, although I have a good relationship with your uncle, you must guarantee me the quality of this lotus root, and you can't have stubble." Thousands of miles to the capital, sloppy. ”

"Well, Lord Huang, don't worry. Honesty is all about doing business, and quality is the top priority. We are not shoddy. I will choose the best lotus root that is unscathed and give it to you, and I dare not live up to the ardent expectations of you and your uncle. Qiduo also smiled and replied very solemnly.

"Okay, I believe what you say, girl, then you can prepare 5,000 catties for me, and the price will be calculated according to your market." Lord Huang said briskly.

"Ah, five thousand pounds? My lord, lotus root can only be stored for two months at most, and if you can't eat it, it will be wasted. Qiduo asked in surprise.

Of course she was happy to hear this number, but she had to remind her sincerely.

Shen Huairen also looked at Lord Huang a little puzzled, and he didn't know that he would ask for a lot, thinking that it would be a thousand catties at most.

Qiduo's words deepened Lord Huang's impression of her a little more, and the smile in his eyes became even stronger.

"Zhonghe, girl, don't worry, I don't want 5,000 catties of lotus root, I have a cousin who is doing business in the capital, this time I went back to my hometown and was entrusted by him to bring some hometown specialties." Master Huang explained.

Seven flowers suddenly, doing business is about the same.

Lord Huang and Qiduo discussed with the two, and the price was calculated at 28 wen a catty, and three days later it was sent to the No. 3 pier in Mianjiang to be loaded.

It takes about 20 days to go from Tonglin County to the capital and go up the river.

Qiduo suggested that Lord Huang buy some deep pots and use them to raise lotus roots, otherwise when the ship arrives in the capital, all the lotus roots will rot.

Lord Huang paid a deposit of forty taels first, and the remaining one hundred taels were paid when the goods were delivered.

has Shen Huairen as a guarantee, so there is no need to sign any contract.

Qiduo put away the silver ticket and thanked him again, the first big business was closed, and the pressure on his shoulders was instantly reduced a lot.

Shen Huairen and Lord Huang will not leave for the time being, they will wait for the ancient county order to measure all the area of the barren mountain.

Qiduo thought about going back to prepare dinner first.

She quietly asked Shen Huairen, "Uncle, what kind of food does Lord Huang like to eat?" ”

"Hehe, Lord Huang is a cat." Shen Huairen laughed softly and quipped.

Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled, it turned out that she liked to eat fish.

Shen Huairen asked Uncle He to send Qiduo back to Tanjiazhuang first, and asked Uncle He to tell Zheng Wanru that Lord Huang and his wife were going to come to dinner in the evening.

Uncle He received the order and left with Qiduo first.

However, Qiduo asked Uncle He to drive to the county seat first, ready to go to the river to buy some fresh live fish.

There are fishing boats full of loads, Qiduo found that there are some saury fish among the jumping fish, in the previous life this fish is very expensive, thousands of yuan a catty, ordinary people are discouraged, even the smell of fish can not smell.

And this fish is also very strange, in different waters, its taste varies greatly.

Generally downstream, the price is much cheaper, because its taste has changed strangely.

Tonglin County is located in the lower reaches of the Mianjiang River, and the price of saury should not be expensive.

At this time, it was the right time to eat saury, and after Qingming, the meat quality of the saury became a knife, and she asked the price, fifty wen a catty.

This price is not expensive for Qiduo, but for ordinary people, they are still daunting and reluctant to buy and eat.

Seven bought all the only saury in the fish group, a total of only three catties, about two taels each.

Hehe, don't worry, I will make your taste delicious, comparable to those tens of taels and one pound of saury!

She looked at the swordfish in her hand and muttered secretly!

In addition to the saury, cinnamon fish, grass carp, and fresh river shrimp were all bought.

Then I went to the market to buy meat and other auxiliary dishes, bought wine, and then returned to Tanjiazhuang. (To be continued......)
