Chapter 58: Less money, but more happiness

This made several women strange and excited, from birth to the present, except for the household registration, their names have never been so solemnly written on the paper, they can't help but have a sense of honor.

After registering, Xue Wu gave the fat aunt some money and asked her to take someone to buy the ingredients needed for cooking at noon.

The fat aunt happily went.

Subsequently, Xue Wu said to Liu Changgen and others: "Work starts today, and there is a delay today, but the salary is still paid, starting tomorrow, every day at the hour (8 o'clock) to start work, and at the end of the afternoon (19 o'clock). Go back and take the shovels, the rakes, and the baskets, and come back with me to the other side of the swamp. ”

After about a quarter of an hour, everyone was in place, and someone brought their wheelbarrows.

Pei Lin jumped on the donkey cart, carrying Xue Wu and Xue Yao, and rushed towards the swamp, while a group of people followed.

After walking for about half an hour, the swamp was already in sight.

Xue walked to the low hill to the north, called a few people, designated a few places for them to dig up, and then she installed the explosives brought from the donkey cart.

"Stay away, it's not fun to be hit by a blasted rock." Xue Wu took the fire fold to ignite the explosives, and then quickly ran to a safe area.

In the next moment, there was a loud bang, and the low mountain behind him was opened, and countless mountains and rocks rolled down one after another.

"All right, you carry these rocks over there, pour them into the swamp, start at the edges, and be careful not to step on them."

When they were instructed, the crowd began to work in full swing.

Xue Wu watched for a while, and appointed Liu Qingsheng of the village chief's grandfather's family as the captain of the construction team, and asked him to help manage these workers and be responsible for scheduling.

Liu Qingsheng is in his thirties and is calm, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of these people for you." ”

Xue Wu temporarily handed over the matter to Liu Qingsheng, and left Pei Lin to supervise the work, and in his aggrieved gaze, she stuffed a candy into his hand, and patted him on the shoulder, "Good job, if you do a good job, double your pocket money next month." ”

Xue Wu is now in charge of the family's money, so she gives pocket money to Xue's mother and several children every month, and life is incomplete without pocket money.

With pocket money, you won't have to swallow saliva when you see what you want to eat and play.

In a child's childhood, pocket money is an indispensable part.

Pei Lin remembered that he also received a monthly amount of silver in the palace, and according to the treatment of his grandson, he had twenty taels a month.

Of course, when he was in the palace, he lacked nothing, and the monthly silver was dispensable for him.

However, when he arrived outside the palace, he discovered the benefits of money, and with money, he could buy all kinds of delicious food.

Now his pocket money is one hundred taels a month, which is really much worse than the previous twenty taels, but the happiness brought to him by these hundred cents is far from being comparable to the twenty taels in the past.

To put it simply, there is less money, but more happiness.

If he hadn't been thinking about his mother, he would rather stay here for the rest of his life and be with his wife.

Listening to Xue Wu's words about doubling the pocket money, Pei Lian's eyes lit up, hooked Xue Wu's fingers and shook them, and was very skillful: "I still want to eat the braised pork made by my sister-in-law." ”

Seeing that he had such a soft and cute expression on such a handsome face, Xue Wu really had itchy hands and wanted to pinch it, but there were many people at the moment, so she could only restrain this itch, "Okay, make it for you, how about making a ginger juice to hit the milk?" ”

"Okay, it's so nice."

Someone came over, Xue Wu squeezed his hand and coughed lightly.

Pei Lin immediately put away the expression on his face, put one hand behind his back, and made a cold and square adult appearance.

After explaining some precautions to Liu Qingsheng, Xue Wu left.

The fat aunt bought the ingredients and transported them back, used the donkey cart provided by Xue Wu to transport the ingredients and the tools needed for cooking to the vicinity of the construction site at one time, cleared a vacant lot, set up a simple temporary pot stove, and threw off their arms and started cooking.

There is a lot of firewood in the nearby forest, and Shangyang Lake is not far away, so it is very convenient to make a fire and wash vegetables.

By noon, the smell of food wafted out, causing the workers to be a little absent-minded.

Liu Qingsheng was about to reprimand a few words, when the fat aunt came over and said to Pei Lian: "Huo Gongzi, the meal is ready." ”

Pei Lin announced: "Stop and come and line up for dinner." ”

Everyone put down the tools in their hands, hula came around, and lined up obediently under Pei Lian's glance.

On the long table, a bucket of rice, a pot of fried vegetables with lard residue, and a pot of tofu and egg drop soup.

The fat aunt is responsible for cooking for everyone.

A large bowl of white rice topped with a spoonful of oily greens and a bowl of soup.

This food is much better than what many people eat at home.

It's meat and eggs, and there's a lot of oil in the dish.

Of course, the fat aunt didn't dare to make it like this, it was all ordered by Xue Wu. said that the big guys do all the hard work, and don't let them eat enough, where is the strength to work?

Some people can't wait to drink the soup and eat a bite of bibimbap mixed with oil residue, the taste is beautiful!

"This job is really fucking worth it!"

"It's not, we can't let her down if we treat us like this, we have to do our job well."

At this time, Xue Wu came over, and everyone who was eating hula involuntarily stood up.

"Uncles are eating, I'll ask Brother Akang to go back to eat."

Pei Lian's eyes jumped with joy, restrained his jumping mood, and strode towards Xue Wu.

The two walked back side by side, and Da Hei ran around the two of them.

After a few days of running-in, familiar with the rhythm of work, the speed of the workers accelerated a lot, and the actual territory of Xue Wu, the landlord's wife, was expanding day by day.

She went over every once in a while to see how the project was going, but she didn't stay there every day.

Because she also has a lot to do.

One of the natural things is to have enough pepper seedlings for the vegetable garden under construction.

She needs to collect enough seeds, then soak them in tea to sterilize them and break down their protective film.

Then plant a separate piece of land, plant the seeds, and when the seeds germin and grow seedlings, you can transplant these seedlings into the ground.

The normal growth cycle of chili peppers is about three months, but Xue Wu experimented that with diluted spiritual spring water, the time can be shortened to one month, or even shorter!

Because no one had ever planted chili peppers, and no one else knew how long it would take for chili peppers to mature normally, this gave Xue Wu a lot of room to operate.

The second thing is that Xue Wu recorded all the chili dishes she "experimented" and compiled them into recipes.

This is also her reliance on finding someone to cooperate in selling chili peppers in the future.
