Chapter 244: Going out to recruit workers
At Li Fu's dinner, everyone had a charcoal hot pot in front of their low table.
The fish soup is boiling, and the white soup base is an eye-opener.
"De'er, why is the bottom of this pot white from what you usually eat." Zheng Shuxuan said curiously.
"It's fish soup, and today my son specially made fish balls for my mother to taste." Li De replied.
The hot pot was originally interesting for everyone to eat together, but the house had to estimate the female dependents, so they chose to eat it separately, and if the housewife and his brother were not there, they would not be so particular.
Li Xuan couldn't wait for a long time, he had just been tested and endorsed by his mother in the afternoon, and he was tortured enough, so he decided to use the current delicious food to relieve his worries.
"Sihasha, it's hot." Li Ying's eating appearance really doesn't match the appearance and style of Guozijian students, how do you look like a turtle who has never seen the world, so she is tired of eating.
"Mother, this fish ball is delicious, strong, and fragrant."
Zheng Shuxuan looked at Li Yang eating, and her appetite was open.
Li De took a look, basically except for his own appearance, the rest of the people were bowing their heads and fighting.
"That's it for shabu-shabu balls, I'm still ready to have time to make them for you, slippery meatballs, croquettes, skewer meatballs, Sixi meatballs...... This. Li De saw that no one paid attention to him and muttered alone.
"Big brother, I heard it, I must make it, it sounds drooling." Li Xuan suddenly accosted.
Li De looked at Li Xuan's appearance, and said in his heart that he is really a foodie, can he be a little bit of a gentleman.
"The delicious food I make is unique in the world." Zheng Shuxuan suddenly complimented.
A small hot pot of fish balls, the family is extremely satisfied.
Li De also thought about taking the fish balls to the hot pot restaurant to start a new business, who would like to eat all the fish balls in the kitchen.
When Pei Qingxuan and Zhang Chuchen came back from Zheng Shuxuan's side, they both smelled the smell of fish in the courtyard.
The wings were suddenly opened.
Chen Xuanhua came out, as if he was waiting, and saw Li Dedao: "This girl admits that the food you made today is not bad." ”
Seeing this, Li De didn't understand what Chen Xuanhua was doing, so he came over arrogantly just to announce it, and estimated that the princess was sick again, so he came out to praise it and let people listen to it.
"If you want to eat, just say that I'm not hypocritical." Li De said immediately.
"You, what kind of attitude do you have, huh." Chen Xuanhua closed the door directly.
"Husband, Xuanhua is praising you." Pei Qingxuan explained on the side.
"I understand, Miss Tsundere, sometimes she just can't wipe her face, and she can't say anything directly." Li De said lightly.
Chen Xuanhua in the room heard the conversation between the two, her face was a little embarrassed, what was wrong with her taking some gestures for the princess.
"Sister-in-law, it's really rude for you to listen to that Li De." Chen Xuanhua complained.
Xiao Mei has been with Chen Xuanhua for a long time, and when she looks at her, she knows that she may have some good feelings, and the girl's family is not easy to say, but she is not good at talking about this matter.
Chen Xuanhua's identity is special, and once the identity of the princess of the dead country is known, I am afraid it will bring a lot of trouble.
"Okay, what Li Gongzi said is right, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't hold a shelf." Xiao Mei said.
Chen Xuanhua was very depressed when he heard that his best sister-in-law didn't talk to him, and suddenly felt that it was not his own reason, but as a tsundere princess, he always didn't realize his own problems.
Li Mansion, every day the craftsmen go back and forth, busy and happy, people with good things are asking if the Li Mansion is renovating the house, the general's mansion repair is a big project, many people want to know if there is an opportunity to help.
Li De went out today mainly to take a look at his own Zhuangzi, and after Li An's struggle and reward, the total calculation was that there were only 130 acres of land at home.
Twenty acres of it are fine official land.
The remaining 100 acres or so are actually a little more, because there is a lot of reclaimed wasteland and it does not count grain, so the peasant households are very serious in farming, because they can share more grain.
Today Li De is fine, and he has decided to develop his agriculture.
As soon as he went out, he saw a lot of people gathered at the door, and immediately thought that he was here to make trouble, because seeing that these people were so depressed, he couldn't help but think about it.
"Hello Mr. Li." The people gathered were quite polite.
Li Fu explained at the door: "Eldest son, these people all want to come to work. ”
"Looking for a job, why did you find the Li Mansion, we need to recruit workers in our house recently?" Li De asked curiously.
"That's not true, it's not that someone has seen a lot of craftsmen coming to the house and thinking that there is a chance to come over to help, the eldest prince doesn't need to pay attention to them, I will let them disperse in a while." Li Fudao.
Li De didn't let Li Fu do that, he saw that these people were messy anyway, and they were all poor, so he asked, "How much does it cost to work a day?" ”
"The eldest son, these people can be driven by two or three pennies." Li Fu said in a low voice.
"The labor cost is so low." Li De did not have an in-depth understanding of the wages of work, two or three cents can make people work for a day, that is, the money for a meal, and it is estimated that the polished rice is not enough, bad rice, corn should be okay.
"From now on you're hired, walking."
Li De got into the carriage directly, and the person who had just reacted immediately followed.
Li Fu, the housekeeper at the door, found that he couldn't understand his eldest son more and more, what to do when he summoned so many people, so he wouldn't bring so many people to go to see the fields.
The carriage went all the way, out of the city gate along the way, followed by dozens of people in the car, looking at the dress and not knowing what to do, and when Li De went out, he found that there were dozens of people now, and the number of people seemed to have doubled.
Zhang Chuchen didn't make a sound in the carriage all the time, and when he saw Li Decai, he couldn't help but feel a little funny.
"What are you doing with so many people, do you just want to take them back and forth, you're really bad enough."
Li De wondered how to call it bad, and besides, he didn't really mean to let them follow, but the carriage was just a one, so they couldn't let them ride.
knew that Zhang Chuchen had misunderstood him.
"What the hell are you going to do?" Zhang Chuchen asked.
"What can you plan, there is power in numbers, and people must do things."
When I arrived at the Grange, there were more than 100 households, the fields were very large but not all of them were from the Li family, Li De took a carriage under the leadership of the farmers to check out more than 100 acres of land, and the soil fertility of perennial cultivation was not very good, generally speaking, it was reasonable.
The farmers of the Li family looked okay in their clothes, and compared with the people brought by Li De, they would definitely think that they were homeless.
"Eldest son, you have to make arrangements for bringing people over." The old farmer asked.
"Well, I want them to search for wild vegetables in the nearby mountains." Li Dedao.
"There are a lot of wild vegetables, and the eldest prince is really a good man." The old farmer responded.
"Are there not many wild vegetables in the mountains?" Li De asked.
