Chapter Eighty-Eight: Out-of-Season Vegetables
Chapter Eighty-Eight: Out-of-Season Vegetables
When Ge Laohan was full of confidence, Chen Xie was biting the tip of his pen in the study.
The human heart is the strangest thing, and there is always a kind of resistance to strange things, just like when Chen Xie took out the seeds at the beginning, the people of Zhangjiazhuang were not willing to plant them. Now this new thing has to be planned.
Papapa, Yuzhu's abacus is called a skill, and after a long time of managing accounts, it will be refined. Glancing at the slender back of the big girl, Chen Xie smiled obscenely, and what came to mind were some scenes that were inappropriate for children.
Not having a computer is a painful thing! You have to blame Wu Qi for this guy, why didn't he bring a computer to the Ming Dynasty? Even if you don't have electricity, you can still get solar panels. When is the day when you have to light candles at night? And this candle is still dead expensive, and most people light tung oil lamps.
Don't worry about the electrification of the Ming Dynasty, don't even let the wires come over, you will be electrified.
Continue to solve the problem with the pen, after writing for a while, Chen Xie felt that his hands were sore, and it happened that Yujing came in, just right: "Yuying, come here, help the master copy the paperwork." ”
Yuzhu turned his head vigilantly to take a look, which meant that I was on duty tonight. The phenomenon of jealousy has not decreased because the two maids are in charge of one piece each. Yuying didn't see Yuzhu present, walked over with a smile, and sat on the old man's lap without giving up.
"The master's handwriting is still so ugly!" Unceremoniously struck a blow, Chen Xie had long been numb to this. It's really not too embarrassing for you to let a modern person who uses a computer to type all day long practice his words well. Even Zhang Yao, after seeing Chen Xie's writing a few times, he shook his head like a drum every time.
Syllable! After a hit on the little buttocks, Yu Wei did not exhale pain, but twisted affectionately, and the sound of the old man inhaling cool air was really pleasant. How else is this going to work? Are the maids of the Ming Dynasty so strong?
Pull! This is all Chen Xie's habitual fault! Which big family doesn't have a big housekeeper at home? Let the two girls call the shots, this has always been the main black material for Ming people to make fun of Chen Xie. Chen Xie really didn't get an official family, and the male subordinates in the family were at most in charge.
"Can you be quiet, this account can't be settled." Yuzhu stopped drying, stood up and glared, and Yuxing got up and glared back without showing weakness. Seeing this, Chen Xie coughed and said, "In front of the master, you are also making trouble?" Isn't it too good to think about the taste of family law? ”
They are all smart people, and they immediately lifted the confrontation and returned to their respective positions. It is true that Master Chen is good-tempered, but it does not mean that the maid can really turn the sky, this is Daming. The difference between superior and inferior goes deep into the bone marrow.
Yuxing's handwriting is good, Chen Xie said that she recorded, and this time the efficiency has improved. Soon a page was written, Chen Xie looked at this outline thing, and sighed with dissatisfaction: "Let's do this first?" ”
"Master, what kind of professional manager?" Yujing asked, and Yuzhu also stopped and looked over. Every time a similar situation arises, it is a good opportunity for them to learn. As a master, Chen Xie has a lot of strange ideas, but they are very useful.
"The professional manager is the shopkeeper, but now the power of the shopkeeper is too great, in case of a little selfishness, it will cause huge losses to the master's family. How to avoid this problem? This involves a question of the system. The system that the master said was not to limit the power of the shopkeeper in buying and selling, but to start with supervision. Just like the previous supervision of the Dengzhou battalion, there was no big problem with the emperor's supervision system. The problem is that there is no limit to the power of the overseers...... Chen Xie said for a while, his mouth was dry and he wanted to drink water, Yuzhu took the lead this time, and a cup of tea was brought at just the right temperature.
The reason for saying this to these two girls is naturally that they want to slowly cultivate two capable assistants. Don't underestimate these two maids, in this kind of big family, who can still mix their heads, which one is not a good hand at figuring out people's hearts.
I can't help but say that this is precisely a huge shortcoming of Chen Xie, there is no one available, so he can only cultivate himself. The downside is that it restricts Chen Xie's development speed, and the powerful side is that Chen Xie can use the people he has cultivated with confidence.
As soon as the time arrived, a group of villagers gathered under the old locust tree. This time it's not like before, all the old guys came, and there were a lot of young people. When Master Chen appeared at the door with a smile, the people who were originally squatting on the ground and talking nonsense stood up one after another, and greeted in unison with respectful expressions: "Hello master!" ”
"Well, everyone's good, there are a lot of people." Chen Xie hopefully walked up to the stone mill, usually going up directly, but this time he actually stood still, patted his head and said, "Why did I forget this." When everyone was stunned, Chen Xie was already standing on the grinding plate.
"Let's talk about two things today, the first thing, the old man wants to plant some greens in winter, otherwise it will be either cabbage or radish, and the bird will fade out of his mouth. If any family is willing to plant together, just come up with one person, we don't have many varieties, I'm afraid that we can't be busy, a family of half an acre of land. This place, it's better to be connected, don't let my lord and I run around and follow you behind. If you are willing to plant, don't talk, just raise your hand. As soon as Chen Xie's words fell, he raised his hand at the scene of the brush, as long as it was a man, he raised his hand.
"Okay, in the afternoon, in the east of the field, the master will make a demonstration, everyone go and see how to get it, and then help you start." This matter is so decided, the interesting thing is that as long as Chen Xie is talking, everyone up their ears to listen, and no one interjects to interrupt for a while. The reason why he is like this is mainly because Chen Xie's prestige is too high now, and everyone is afraid that what he says will not be heard clearly, which will delay the benefits of the family and the family.
"The second thing, are there any stonemasons in the village? A mill several times bigger than this mill, will anyone make it? As soon as Chen Xie asked, someone couldn't wait to stand up and said loudly: "Back to the master, the little one is called Shi San, and he is a stonemason. If you open a mason's workshop, the small one can also gather a few brothers and sisters for you. ”
Shi San, who is nearly forty years old, was excited, and he was finally looking forward to this day. This reaction, Chen Xie is naturally very willing to see it. As long as a consensus is formed on the ground in Dengzhou, there must be great benefits for the doctor to do, and the craftsmen will naturally flock to it and look at the scenery.
"Okay, that's it, let's all go back, Shi San stays, I have a few words to explain." Chen Xie smiled and waved his hand, and everyone dispersed, and someone kept saying to Shi San: "Stone, the master has something good to order, don't forget Brother Jì." "Shi San, it's finally time for your kid's craft to work hard, I knew that I was going to learn a craft at the beginning."
Everyone dispersed, Shi San nervously walked up to Chen Xie, and kept wiping his palms on his clothes. Prior to this, three craftsmen were developed because of Chen Xie, one was the bricklayer Wen Bajin, one was the potter Yao Laoliu, and the other was the blacksmith Zhao Tietou. Now it's the turn of the stonemason, and the master loves to use craftsmen, which is also the consensus.
"So, you know where there is a stone to be mined, right?" Chen Xie asked with a smile, and Shi San, who was eager to try, said very simply: "I know, there is a stone quarry in the back mountain of Longshan, and I used to mine stones there when I was building a fort. ”
"That's good, seeing that the farming has started again, I have to find something to do for the big guy and make up for the family. Master Ben plans to build a road, you go to the stone yard to get a mill, things are done beautifully, and the master will open a stone yard for you to manage. At that time, you have 30% of the shares, and this stone quarry is dedicated to beating some small stones and paving roads. When the old man builds the road, you wait and see, the business of the stone yard will not be prosperous. Chen Xie said so lightly, Shi San had no doubts, nodded and said: "Zhong, what the master says to do, let's do it, there is no other ability, obedient work is guaranteed to be reliable." ”
Chen Xie got down from the grinding plate and said to Mengzi: "Take him to the rain girl and get twenty taels of silver." We have to hurry up on this, it's too late. ”
"Don't worry, the little one knows where there are big stones standing on the nearby seaside, take a few brothers, and directly chisel out a look, at most a month, you can make a big stone mill."
As soon as Shi San said this, Chen Xie reacted, there are a lot of stones on the beach, and they are not small, and they are left on the shore. In this way, the road construction can be a little earlier. Well, it may destroy a little bit of the natural environment, but hasn't human development been destroying the natural environment to develop and progress? In the Ming Dynasty, environmental protection is a little bigger, right?
"I don't care what you do, it depends on what you see." patting his ass, Chen Xie left.
Just had lunch, and Chen Xie hadn't arrived in a piece of land to the east, and everyone had already surrounded him. Watching Chen Xie come over slowly, Gu San behind him took a few subordinates, carrying broken dried bamboo strips and some ropes.
Chen Xie is really good at building sheds to grow out-of-season vegetables in greenhouses, and he has a lot of practical experience. Master Chen took the lead and personally demonstrated to everyone that the ground had been turned over in advance, and it had been dried for several days, sprinkled with plant ashes, and piled up farmhouse fertilizer. These things were all arranged for the subordinates to do, and the people in the village have been curious, and now they are finally seeing the results. The bamboo is bent, roasted with fire, and after the shape is set, the two ends of the ground are erected, and a straight bamboo strip is set in the middle. There are many people and they work quickly, and it doesn't take long for a greenhouse shelf to be erected.
In the last step, the wheelbarrow is pushed with plastic sheeting on it, and this one is definitely a big killer.
"See how you got it?" After laying out the plastic film, Chen Xie asked the onlookers with a smile. "See clearly!" The answer was very neat, Chen Xie clapped his hands and said: "Let's say okay first, this film doesn't charge money, but the melons and vegetables produced in this field, this master wants half." If you don't want to do it, hurry up and say it now, don't sign it when the time comes, and you don't regret taking the medicine. ”
"It's a fool who regrets it!" I don't know which guy came, and everyone laughed happily.
