Chapter 361: Saving a Dowry for Your Daughter?
It's still up to Xiaoba to know those laws and regulations, and fight with the county order in exchange for it, if the people who don't know a single big character go up, the big house probably can't keep it with dozens of taels of silver.
This matter of the Li family's mother and daughter, the Tang family and others are even more sympathetic, and they can't wait for the whole world to do this.
Why should your own things be openly occupied by others!
After listening to the content of the letter, I knew that my little eight was fine outside, and life seemed to be going well, and everyone was a lot more relieved.
And when they received the second letter and learned about the bandits, the Tang family scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the bandits, these individuals are simply not a thing.
Then I thought about it, and I was proud of Xiaoba, this granddaughter is amazing, she has only been out for so long, and she has earned so much glory for the family, and there is great merit.
The busy and fulfilling days of the Xue family lasted until October 30, and on the last day of October, nearly 150,000 acres of sweet potato fields were finally completed, and those dug up sweet potatoes were either picked down the mountain or buried in the ground.
As for the sweet potato vine, even if it is in this weather, it will be bad if it is left for a few more days, and then the loss will be silver.
Therefore, after confirming that the cuttings task could be completed within the specified time, Jiang Qianyue and the others were not in a hurry to complete the task early, but transferred some people to deal with the sweet potato vines.
It's also a good idea to pick it up and dry it when it's at its freshest.
After the land was planted, almost all of the nearly 90,000 laborers remained, and most of them turned to the sweet potato vines.
Only a small group of people were left to water the fields.
Fortunately, the weather does not need to be watered as much as last season.
Not many people were left to water it, and it was only for a short time.
The speed at which the hired hands process the sweet potato vines is a perfect illustration of what it means to have a lot of people.
The rest of the sweet potato vines, with the concentrated efforts of so many people, were picked in less than three days.
After picking, except for some of the people who are responsible for drying, everyone else grinds the sweet potato pulp and washes the sweet potato flour almost seamlessly.
It can be said that as long as they want to work, they can basically do it continuously during this time.
The more time went on, more and more people finished their farm work, and they still kept coming over knowing that there was still work on the Xue family's side.
Now the Xue family does have work to do, but the tools for work are not enough.
Those villagers simply brought their own threshing buckets, wooden barrels, fine sieves, bamboo mats and other tools to do their work.
At home, the suitability of concocting sweet potatoes is in full swing, so what happened to Xue Langjing, who left from Cheng's Women's Hospital?
After leaving Xiakou Town, she spent almost the whole day on the road, had a meal in Hualiang County on the way, and entered Haitang City smoothly at six o'clock in the afternoon.
Well, it's said to be in a hurry, that is, in a place where there are no people, and when you get to a place where there are people, it's basically a stroll, stop and go along the way, listen to interesting stories, and find some material for writing a travelogue for yourself, but it's comfortable.
The next few days were basically spent like this.
In the evening of this day, she came to a city called Lingze City, and after finding an inn to rest, she planned to start working tomorrow.
After a few days of food and lodging, plus buying a set of clothes, now she only has 249 yuan left in her pocket, and if she doesn't work tomorrow, she will have no money to spend.
However, I found out after inquiring with the shopkeeper.
Now that the farming season has passed, a large number of laborers have begun to come out to work.
Now there are many people looking for work, and it is even more difficult to find a temporary job like her.
After listening to what Xiao Er said, Xue Langjing couldn't help but sigh, life is really difficult!
Of course, this sentence is not for herself, but for ordinary people, she doesn't have to do hard work, the master of civil and military all-rounders, what kind of work can't be found!
Hmph, that's how confident!
Let's go, first go and inquire about the situation, and see if there is anything suitable for you to do.
I didn't walk a few steps when I came out and saw a bookstore.
Hey, there's a job to be hired and a book to be copied.
She's capable of doing the job.
It's a pity that the salary is small, not enough for her to eat and drink for a day.
If she does physical work, she can be ten with one, but she can write, even if she is strong, it is impossible to increase the speed of writing tenfold!
So this job, ignore it.
Keep looking.
There are errands, not for her.
I saw a mill, went in and asked, but it didn't recruit.
Passing by the dock in the city again, I found that there were only twenty or thirty people in it.
This is strange, doesn't it say that there are many workers?
Normally, at this time, there should be a lot of people at the dock, but why are there so few people? It's weird.
She had to ask.
As soon as he came to the steward, he saw that the other party did not raise his head, and waved at her impatiently, "Don't recruit people, don't recruit people, please be early tomorrow." ”
After more than a month of tempering, the current Xue Langjing will no longer be as 'thin-skinned and arrogant' as she was at the beginning, and she will not be angry because of one or two impatience from others.
Still asked kindly, "No, the person in charge, we didn't come to ask this, we just want to ask, why are there so few people here?" ”
As soon as he heard the voice of a girl, the steward looked up and saw that it was a handsome and handsome girl, and she was still carrying a weapon.
Alas, for girls, he can't drink like those rough men, and she is still a woman with strong martial arts, he doesn't dare to offend!
The steward immediately explained to her, "That's the case, there are not many commercial goods coming and going at the dock these days, and there are many people who work, and many people are always fighting for so many bags of goods, which is annoying, anyway, now that there are few goods, let's just let most of the people check out first, so it's enough to write people." ”
"Oh", I see, I don't know if tomorrow's work will be good or not.
Thinking so, Xue Langjing pointed to the men who were waiting to carry the sacks and asked, "Then, in charge, what is the daily income of these coolies now?" ”
"Probably only, about thirty wen."
Hearing this, Xue Langjing couldn't help frowning and said, "In this county, there is still such hard work, and the thirty wen is a little low!" ”
"Yes, it's just a matter of making do, and nothing else is good, mainly because there are more people and less work now", the steward also sighed.
If that's the case, she calculated, she would probably be able to earn more than 100 yuan in one morning, and she would probably be targeted if she robbed so many people's jobs.
Forget it, let's go to another place first, and if there is nothing better, then consider whether to come.
Xue Langjing thanked the steward and left.
Then I walked all the way, but I couldn't see any recruits who could make more money, let alone find guards.
But think about it, there are dart masters and dart boards in the city, who will look for guards outside.
Liu Yuanxiang: This situation is a special case.
It seems that there are very few jobs to choose from!
And she can't hunt here, otherwise she would have hunted a few hundred Wen.
After walking around the city, Xue Langjing, who was walking towards the inn, decided to go to the dock tomorrow for half a day and leave after lunch.
On the second day, she settled the account with the shopkeeper after breakfast at the inn and left.
As he walked, not far away came the voice of a little girl coquettishly telling her father.
"Daddy, daddy, don't go, if you leave, I'm left at home, Jiabao is afraid, Daddy..."
Looking up, I saw that outside the gate of a courtyard, a soft and glutinous little girl about four or five years old was pulling a thin young man, as if she didn't want him to leave.
The young man sighed, picked her up, and explained, "Jiabao, if Daddy doesn't go to work, we won't have anything to eat, and we can't afford to pay the rent." ”
Unexpectedly, the little girl immediately retorted to him, "Daddy is a liar, we just paid a month's rent the day before yesterday, and there are still a lot of copper plates in Daddy's baggage, and a piece of silver, which can buy a lot of food." ”
Even if he didn't see the man's face, Xue Langjing could guess how embarrassed his expression was now.
But he didn't want to, the man immediately replied, "Okay, it's enough for food and accommodation, but Daddy has to save for the family treasure!" ”
