The next morning, just after the end of the day, Yuan got up from the kang and made breakfast.

Because they were going to leave early with Zhao Shanchuan, after the two of them finished breakfast, Yuan didn't forget to put the rest of the food into the iron pot to warm it, so as to ensure that Zhao Yu and the three small ones could eat a mouthful of hot food.

Carrying the clothes they had packed up, the two walked quickly to the entrance of the village to gather, and at the same time, they also saw Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Shanlin, and the four of them got together to chat.

After the people who were going to build the road arrived, due to the team led by Dehai, they marched towards Qingping County.

When they arrived at the place, it was not yet hour, and everyone lined up to have another breakfast, and then found a place to rest and recuperate.

As soon as the gong sounded, everyone gathered from the surroundings quickly, lined up to receive the flat baskets, shovels and pickaxes for work according to the requirements of the officials on the spot, and followed several people to divide together, and started to work seriously.

Building roads is a tedious and repetitive task.

Although there were no soldiers watching, it was the first day of work, and with Yu Dehai's emphasis before, everyone worked hard to have a good performance to get the appreciation of the officials.

With such an idea, the entire road repair site is in full swing, and everyone unconsciously spends up their work.

Unlike the men's work of digging and carrying the soil, the work of the women such as Yuan was much easier.

After dividing the meal, and then packing up the rest of the breakfast, a woman who looked like a steward came out, gathered them together, and said what was going on, and then led them to a vegetable garden not far away.

It is said that it is a vegetable garden, and the essence is a dry field, but there is a simple fence around this dry field, although it cannot prevent people, but it shows that this land has the meaning of the owner.

The inside of the vegetable garden is full of greenery, and the greens that are often sold in the market are all there.

Yuan couldn't help but say that there are a lot of varieties planted in this place, isn't it specially for road repair?

Sure enough, the woman's next words confirmed Yuan's guess, this piece of vegetable land really belongs to the county government,

"The vegetables of the three ridges must be cleaned up before noon, you two and two, hurry up," the woman waved her hand, "and if you are the first to get it, go to my side and say something." ”

After speaking, the woman made a gesture and walked back, but she didn't take two steps, and then turned her head and added, "I forgot to say, our team has a lot of people, and we definitely need a few team leaders to take care of things, you have this mind, you have to behave well,"

The implication is that if you perform well, you can become the captain of this squad.

When she had said this, the woman departed.

The team that had been left behind also began to have a heated discussion after the woman left.

The buzz of discussion spread from the entire team and intensified.

Yuan was stunned in his heart, and wanted to leave here as soon as possible, so he stretched out his hand and pulled the woman beside him.

The woman next to her was from another village, and because the two had just been working closely, they decided to work together to pick up vegetables.

As a result, Yuan Shi pulled his hand and found that there was no movement.

Well?

Yuan turned his head and saw that the woman surnamed Huang next to him was flushed and extremely excited.

She didn't notice Yuan's movements just now, but was immersed in her emotions.

Yuan's ......

Yuan was helpless, so he simply walked people directly to the vegetable garden.

It didn't take long for the woman surnamed Huang to react, she didn't get angry, but grabbed Yuan's hand with her backhand, and kept rushing to the vegetable garden, not forgetting to say some inside information while walking, "Hurry up, Sister Yuan, this time, the opportunity for our sisters is here." ”

"Opportunity?" Yuan's expression was stunned, very puzzled, "Sister-in-law Huang, what a chance?" "She didn't know.

"Hehe, you don't know that,"

The woman surnamed Huang carefully patted Yuan's shoulder, leaned over and talked to Yuan's quietly, "It's not the captain's business, but it's a good job,"

Good to live?

Yuan's eyes widened, as a refugee who had just fled and had just settled in Meadow Village, it was hard for her to imagine that this captain would be a good job.

Anyway, it is difficult to understand for a person who has not been an official for more than 20 years.

Yuan didn't speak, just looked at Huang with blank eyes, fortunately, the other party did not live up to her expectations, and it seemed that there was no need for Yuan's special reaction, Huang couldn't help but continue to chatter,

"You must be participating in the work of the imperial court for the first time, and it is normal not to understand,"

"There's a good thing about it,"

"Sister Yuan, you also know, our family came here three years ago, and when we first came to participate in this event, we didn't understand anything, and the steward said that there was a vacancy for the captain and didn't dare to fight for it," just because they were afraid that something would happen and take responsibility, everyone was very honest.

"Hey......"

"We also learned later that the advantage of being a captain is that if there is that there is such a job in the city in the future, we can try it,"

"Just like our weaving factory in Qingping County, many of the people in it are captains,"

"That's a good job, a month's salary is more than 2 taels, and the weaving factory is still in charge of food and housing, and even as long as you work for three years, the children in the family can go directly to school, even if the child can't pass the exam,"

When Huang said this, he couldn't help muttering, "Our family has four children, three male babies, but none of them can learn, and now my father and I are worried about it," but it didn't come to pass, and something good happened.

Can she not be happy and excited?

"However, I heard that the weaving factory is not recruiting people for the time being," Yuan had heard of the weaving factory, which was the industry of the county government of Qingping County, and the scale was very large, including the fabrics sold in the city, almost all of which flowed out of the weaving factory.

And this year's recruitment has already ended, no matter what, we have to wait for next year's notice.

"Hey, but I've heard that," Huang said here, hurried to Yuan's side, and said in a low voice, "Don't tell anyone about this,"

Hearing this, Yuan nodded obediently.

"I heard that the canned pickle factory in Yeting County is going to move to our side, the place has been built, and I want to try it when we recruit workers a year ago," but I also need to have the ability to try, so the Huang family attaches more importance to this captain.

Yuan's heart was clear, and he said that he should indeed be excited, compared to the notice of whether the textile factory should recruit workers next year, this is a great thing.

And the other people around are excited, most likely because of this.

After all, going to work at the county government is different from ordinary odd jobs.

Not only that, in addition to wages, there are bonuses and various benefits every time there is a festival, but it is not good for others to envy.

Yuan couldn't help but be moved when he listened to Huang's addition.

That is, thinking about the shop at home, Yuan frowned, and said in his heart that if the shop left her, Zhao Yu was afraid that he would not be able to do it alone.

However, these are all things for the future, and it is most important to finish the work assigned by the steward now.

The two had different ideas, but their movements were unexpectedly quick.

Soon, a basket full of vegetables was ready, and then, telling the woman to take care of it, the two of them carried it to the river, cleaned it, and sent it to the cook.

Not to mention, the road construction is a good job, even the chef who cooks the dishes is invited from a famous restaurant in the city, and the food is authentic.

By noon, the meal was ready, and everyone who had finished work began to line up to eat.

After eating, clean up the dishes and chopsticks, there is no work for the time being, and the Yuan family and the others, who are not very strict, can go home first, and then come back before dinner.

Yuan was close to home, so she should have gone home.

And at home, because of Zhao Shanchuan's early greeting, Zhao Yu and the three of them had lunch at the Li family's side.

By the way, Li also said that the food shop was opened and asked Zhao Yu to come over to help.

As for the younger Zhao Xia and Zhao Mingteng, there were no adults at home to take care of them, so they naturally followed.

Zhao Yu agreed without thinking about it, and by the way, he also mentioned the matter of his uncle.

She didn't expect that her uncle didn't go to the shop to work, but rented a piece of land at the foot of the mountain with her aunt, and took care of the fruit trees and breeding business by herself.

"Milk, what is the uncle raising, has it been decided?"

Zhao Yu was curious, but she hadn't met Zhao Shanyu recently, so she could only ask the Li family.

Li didn't hide it, "Raising pigs, by the way, raising some cattle and sheep,"

"Listen to his own inquiry, and say that the imperial court in the south is not very strict in restricting cattle, and allows proper private slaughter,"

He also asked Li Zheng, and then he rented the two hills behind him, planted fruit trees from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and raised some pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock from the foot of the mountain to the river.

Zhao Yu sighed when he heard this, "I'm afraid that uncle's money is not enough,"

Here, she is not referring to fruit trees, fruit trees are not valuable, especially Zhao Shanyu planted several simple varieties unique to this side.

Zhao Yu refers to breeding, breeding livestock can require money, after all, in this era, there is no special means, and the price of livestock cubs is precious.

"He has a lot of money in his hand, and the two of them have discussed it, and they think it's okay," Li put down the dishes and chopsticks, stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth, "In this case, you can do it if you want." ”

Don't look at the amount of money spent now, but if you do it well, it will be a way out in the future.

Zhao Shanyu's temperament is not suitable for farming, so the Li family did not deliberately stop the other party.

Zhao Yu turned his head and thought of the silver money that could be earned by the success of this transaction, and nodded thoughtfully.

Her grandmother is right, if this business is done well, it can indeed make a lot of money!
