Chapter 113: Fruits of Labor
Huzi carried a sack of tea seed fruit down the mountain, poured it on the pile of tea seeds, and there was a steward next to him, who recorded it for him, and picked it for an afternoon, which was already Huzi's thirteen bags of tea seed fruit.
The steward checked the number of tigers and told them, "Huzi, yes, thirteen packs, no need to go up the mountain." Go over there and drink some water! ”
This steward, Huzi also knows, is a scholar in Liu Town, but he didn't expect him to come over to help with things.
Huzi cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Master housekeeper, how much money can a small one have?" ”
Huzi knew that one sack could have twenty yuan, but he picked thirteen bags, such a large amount, he didn't understand, oral arithmetic is such a lofty knowledge, where can Huzi be a wild child.
Almost everyone who finished picking asked such a question, Li Wenjie didn't take it seriously, and calculated, "You have two hundred and sixty Wen, you can get it when you go back to Zhangjia Village." ”
Huzi heard that there was so much money, a little dry mouth, things were afraid of comparison, he helped the rice shop master carry grain in the county seat, and at the end of the day, he could only earn seven or eight yuan, and only two porridges, and now after half a day, he can earn two hundred and sixty yuan, this, this. Huzi worked desperately in front of him, and he didn't expect that there would be so many copper plates in the end.
Yazi and Shengzi just carried a sack of tea seeds and fruits down the mountain, the number of picks they picked was the same as that of Huzi, whoever picked a sack first, and the rest of the people helped the slower people pick, so that after the three sacks were full, they could go down the mountain together, and the pace of Huzi was faster.
When the two of them heard that each of them had two hundred and sixty yuan, their reaction was not much better, for the three of them, this was a huge amount of money, and they had never dreamed of such a beautiful dream before.
A few people laughed silly, ran over to drink water, but there are many rules here, on the matter of drinking water, I used to see the river, or there was a puddle at random, and when I was thirsty, I picked it up and drank it directly, and now people say that that kind of water can also be drunk, but if I was bumped into, I was fined 50 yuan and rewarded to the person who reported it.
The other people can't control it, they can do whatever they want, but those who help the volunteers do things must follow their rules, and they are not afraid of no money penalty, because there are a lot of copper coins for helping to pick tea seeds and fruits, and the people who want to be deducted money can drink it casually until the money is deducted.
In the face of such a "heavy" punishment, the people who came to pick tea seeds and fruits did not dare to drink unclean water casually, even if their throats were on fire, they could only endure until they went down the mountain, and then drank the boiled water that they had brought over.
They didn't understand what hygiene knowledge the people told him, so they used the method of fines to ensure that they remembered it and didn't dare to drink raw water casually.
The people of Zhangjia Village and Liu Town, who picked tea seeds, exceeded 200 people, and the people of Zhangjia Village were busy all day, picking more than 40 sacks of tea seeds from the mountains, because they came in the morning, and the tea seeds were not picked, and they were the easiest to pick.
Zhang Daniu sat on the stone, pointed his fingers, counting what he wanted to buy when he earned so much copper money, and after he finished picking tea seeds and fruits in the afternoon, Li Wenjie, who was in charge, told Zhang Daniu that he had picked a total of 45 bags and could have 900 copper coins. And the most important thing is that his mother-in-law also came to do things, the woman's hands and feet are not so fast, there are only thirty bags, and there is also an income of six hundred copper coins, and the two of them have a total of one or two or five hundred yuan of income today, such a big income, the husband and wife are a little blind.
"Da Niu, let me tell you, I will be in charge of the family's money in the future, you are a big boss, if you lose the money, you will not be able to live in the future."
In the past, there were dozens of copper plates at home, and it didn't matter who took care of the money, but now that there are so many copper coins, Li Mei doesn't dare to let Zhang Daniu manage the money, if he spends money indiscriminately, he won't die of heartache.
Zhang Daniu said magnificently, "Okay, you can do whatever you say." ”
Zijian needs tea seed oil, which has led to the development of an industrial chain, benefiting almost the entire people of Zhangjia Village, the old people and children who peel tea seed skins in Zhangjia Village do not earn so much copper money, but their ability to make money is already good, and they want them to earn the same amount of money as adults, isn't it difficult for strong people!
Huzi followed the others back to Zhangjia Village, and he could still have a full meal at night, and he heard that he could see the electric lights that others had said, Huzi didn't believe that there was such a treasure in the world.
As for the tea seeds and fruits piled up there, there are others who use ox carts to pull them back to Zhangjia Village, and this has nothing to do with them.
The people who collected tea seeds and fruits returned to Zhangjia Village, and the chief's wife was waiting outside Zhang's mansion, what were they doing? Of course, it is to settle the salary, whoever has done how much today will be settled according to the salary agreed in the morning, Li Zhuer can not appear, but she sits on the high platform, which is a way to establish status.
She is there, let the people see that it is Li Zhuer who found a way to make money for everyone, so that the people are not grateful to her, if the people don't see what she looks like, at most they just talk about it, and no one will remember her good.
The people who received the wages all bowed down respectfully to Li Zhu'er to say hello, on the surface, Li Zhu'er had no expression, but she was already happy in her heart, in addition to making Zijian feel that she could help him, there was also letting the people know that she was the housewife, so that her status could be stable.
Huzi soon saw the dogs, and in a group of adults, a group of children was still easy to spot.
A group of children who have depended on each other since childhood, of course, are very happy after meeting, Huzi looked at them, in addition to being cleaner than before, their faces were healthy and rosy, and the dishes that used to be worrying were worried.
Gouzi "Brother Tiger, Yazihe, Brother Sheng, don't go to the county seat, help the chief and master do things, in addition to being able to eat well, you can also get paid!" ”
Huzi nodded, there was no way before, so he could only go to the county seat to see if there was a chance, but unfortunately, they had no development in the county except for a little coolie, and in the end, the three of them didn't even snatch away the hundreds of copper coins that they had saved with great difficulty.
Huzi and a few people know a truth, it is not important to make money, the important thing is how to keep the money they earn, in the county they are such a person, they are robbed of money by others, and no one will help them to make the decision, but after coming here, I found that in the territory of that adult, no one dares to rob things, even ordinary bullies are rare.
Under the protection of such an adult, you can keep your money and don't have to worry about anything else.
Huzi "Well, we're not leaving, it's so good here." I'll get two hundred and sixty copper coins later, which is amazing. ”
"Well, Brother Tiger is the most powerful."
The dog said very face-saving that these children helped peel tea seeds in Zhangjia Village, and there were also a lot of copper coins.
Huzi knows that the dogs and them, peeling sacks of tea seeds and fruits, there are eight cents, this time he earned more money by working hard in the county for a day, and it was so easy, he knew that there was such a good thing, so he would not go to the county seat to suffer.
With this comparison, Huzi is full of admiration for the chief he has never seen, this is the master who is in charge of these bitter haha, and he will never hesitate to let him do things in the future.
Soon, Huzi received a small cloth bag, which was two hundred and sixty dollars, Huzi poured it out, counted one by one, counted again after counting wrong, there was no other meaning, just wanted to count and play, the game of counting money was too fun.
The people of Zhangjia Village are intoxicated with a happy atmosphere, but there is also a hidden element of uneasiness.
These days, Zijian has spent a lot of silver, and many people in Zhangjia Village have benefited, but after the people get the money, they find that they can't buy anything, so the money is easy to depreciate, because Zhangjia Village itself has no production, there are not many goods, and the people's copper money can't buy things, so the money is depreciated.
Of course, they are all happy now, and they will not think of such a question.
It is also simple to solve the depreciation of copper coins, and recycle the copper coins in the hands of the people, so that there is no problem.
