Chapter 114: Hope
With sufficient materials and manpower in place, near the "Huaguo Mountain" on the west side of the house, the two craftsmen began to build the biscuit workshop planned by Zhao Yuan with the help of Shao Meng and Guo Du.
"Li Zheng, I saw that Zhao Dong's family has started to build the workshop he said, which of us can stay and work?"
"Don't think about it, plant the land first, do you think that if you are competing to go, the Zhao Dong family will choose you?" Wen Jianglang said angrily.
"Isn't this a good thing, everyone wants to go, as soon as they shout, I'm afraid that there will be no chance."
"The Zhao Dong family is a person with great ability, why do you think we can come to his house to work, it is not because everyone works sincerely, with a few words can have this opportunity, where can you find no one in these ten miles and eight villages." Wen Jianglang saw very clearly during this time, although Zhao Yuan was very generous, he did have a rod and scale in his heart, and who was good and who was bad was clear in his heart.
"I really hope I can stay and have a long job to do."
"If you want to be of any use, help Zhao Dong's family plant the land first."
"Li Zheng, you said that Zhao Dong's family farms and the manure is not enough, can our village pull some over?"
"That's okay, I took a look, the manure and grass ash prepared by Zhao Dongjia are only enough to plant a very small piece of land." Wen Jianglang nodded and said.
There is little land in Yakou Village, and each household raises more livestock and poultry, and there is no shortage of farm fertilizer.
……
At this moment, in Zhulin Village, under the arrangement of Zhulin Village, everyone began to work in the bamboo forest, cutting bamboo, digging bamboo shoots, digging bamboo shoots, and getting busy again after spring ploughing.
"Brother Feng, why did Zhao Yuan buy so many bamboo shoots for use, can you finish eating?" After Huang Gufeng helped Zhao Yuan collect bamboo shoots, both adults and children went into the bamboo forest to get busy.
"If people want to buy it, it must be useful, and we can sell it for money, so what do we do with so much?" Li Zheng said on the side.
I have heard that there is a capable person in Zhaojiazhuang, last time Zhao Yuan bought a lot of bamboo and planks in his village, and Zhenghuang Valley in Zhulin Village began to pay attention to Zhao Yuan, which is separated from the village by a mountain.
"Zhao Yuan should be going to do something to buy bamboo shoots, I don't know what it is, and when I dig it up today, everyone will help send it to his house, and ask him when the time comes, see if he tells us." Huang Gufeng said with a smile.
"Brother Feng, don't ask, Zhao Yuan's price for collecting bamboo shoots is very fair, no matter what he uses it for, we all make money." Lizheng cut down a bamboo tree in the Yellow Valley, and said while cleaning up the bamboo branches.
"Okay, third brother." When Huang Gufeng heard this, he nodded and agreed.
"It will take a while for the bamboo shoots to grow in large quantities, so everyone picks and digs the big ones." Huang Guzhong reminded everyone.
"You must pick the big one to dig, the big one is heavy." Everyone said with a smile.
Because of Zhao Yuan, the villagers of Zhulin Village, like the villagers of Yakou Village and Dongquan Village, are busy.
In one afternoon, the entire bamboo forest was almost changed by everyone, and the bamboo shoots were dug up by everyone, and moved back with baskets on their backs, waiting to be sent to Zhao Yuan's house after the work was finished.
In Zhao Yuan's house, a simple workshop is slowly taking shape, with the help of Zhao Yuan, Tao Pu, Shao Meng, and Guo Du, and the work is very fast.
"Luoluo, it will be convenient to eat biscuits in the future, and let's build this oven, we can also bake other things." Zhao Yuan teased Luoluo, who was playing with the family, and said.
"But we now have a small stove to bake cookies, why don't you bake anything else in it, uncle?" Luoluo touched her little face with her dirty hand, leaving a smudge on her face.
"The small stove is too small, and it's not convenient to bake other things." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
"Uncle, this oven is built, what can be baked?"
"You'll know in five days." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, five days later, it will be the little one's fourth birthday, and when the time comes, help her make a cake.
"Uncle, you're always like this." Luoluo said dissatisfiedly.
"Haha, go and ask your aunt to wash your face, and see that you have become a little flower cat." Zhao Yuan took the brick and handed it to the master craftsman, and said to Luoluo with a smile.
"I'm a little flower cat, then uncle, you are a big flower cat." Luoluo said and ran to find Meng Ying.
"This little girl, Shao Meng, I didn't expect you to lay bricks." Zhao Yuan laughed and said to Shao Meng, who was helping the two craftsmen build the oven.
"Master, you don't know, Senior Brother Shao's father will build a house, he also went to work as a small worker for a period of time when he was a child, and then went to our martial arts hall to practice martial arts, what to build in the martial arts hall, Senior Brother Shao is the main force every time." Guo Du said with a smile.
"It's all talent." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.
In the afternoon, almost half of the workshop was completed, and the people of Zhulin Village made several trips one after another, sending bamboo, bamboo shoots and more than 40 chickens of all sizes to Zhao Yuan.
"With so much bamboo, what are Zhao Dongjia going to do?"
"And that big bunch of bamboo shoots?"
"How much does this cost, according to the personality of the Zhao Dong family, the price given must be indispensable."
Indeed, the people of Zhulin Village are very happy, and the bamboo that they are accustomed to has become a heavy copper coin in their hands in an afternoon's effort, and not only this time, but they can also be sold many times later.
"Uncle Feng, this is the money you used to sell bamboo, bamboo shoots and chickens." Zhao Yuan finally handed a small bag of copper coins to Huang Gufeng and said with a smile.
"Zhao Yuan, this amount is not right, you give more." Huang Gufeng weighed the money bag and said.
"That's it, that's right, Uncle Feng, I want to ask you to help me look at the batch of bamboo products I ordered, check whether they are compliant, and the more money is your salary Uncle Feng." Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said.
"How inappropriate is this......" Huang Gufeng said with some hesitation.
"There's nothing inappropriate, Uncle Feng, I'm too busy here, asking you to help will delay your time, and it's normal to pay the salary, and the bamboo shoots and bamboo sunflowers in the back need Uncle Feng's help."
"Then I'll take it?"
"It must be accepted."
…………
After sending bamboo, bamboo shoots, and chickens, the villagers of Zhulin Village received the money and went home happily.
Luoluo happily looked at the large group of chickens of all sizes chirping in the chicken pen, and began to count how many there were.
"Happy, Luoluo?" Zhao Yuan went to the chicken pen, looked at Luoluo and said.
"Happy, uncle, can I catch a chick and raise it in my room?" Luoluo looked at the fluffy chicken cub and asked.
"After the chick leaves the hen, it will not grow well, Luoluo, do you want to bring a piece of paper back to the house?"
"Forget it, I'll watch it for a while, Dahua is so pitiful, and the other chickens don't play with him." Luoluo thought for a moment and said again.
"You're not familiar with it yet, Luoluo, you can take some wheat grains to feed the chickens, and you can also dig some earth dragons to feed the chickens." Zhao Yuan said.
If there are more poultry, the consumption of food will also increase, and Zhao Yuan will put the source of feed on the agenda.
