Chapter 276: Looking for Workers
Last night, Chu Xintian went to the buttonhole at the foot of the North Mountain and brought back three pheasants. She prepares a potato stew with pheasant, which is a meat dish.
Chu Xintian bought five catties of pork belly, five catties of tofu, and four cabbages, and made a pot of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli.
Both dishes have meat, and although they are simple, they are sufficient in quantity.
Chu Xintian's staple food is steamed buns.
At the market, she bought ten catties of coarse noodles and steamed two pots of steamed buns.
Chu Xintian couldn't bring so many people's ingredients, so he let the hammer follow.
After buying the raw materials, it was not too early, Chu Xintian didn't dare to delay any longer, she hurriedly went home with the hammer.
When she got home, she saw that Niu Li had arrived.
Niu Li said to Chu Xintian yesterday that he would come to help Chu Xintian cook lunch for the craftsmen.
Chu Xintian prepared the meals of several people alone, but it was nothing.
However, she had to prepare food for more than twenty people, so Chu Xintian had no choice but to ask Niu Li for help.
Of course, Niu Li said that she was there to help, and she didn't have to pay for it.
However, Chu Xintian couldn't treat her badly, she said that she had to pay her salary, and she planned to give her a hundred wen a day, but Niu Li said that she wouldn't take that much, because it was not heavy to cook a meal.
In the end, it was said that only 50 wen a day would be charged.
Because Niu Li received Chu Xintian's money, she felt that she couldn't let Chu Xintian cook anymore.
"Yongjing damn, you have so many things to do, do some other things, I'll cook by myself"
Chu Xintian didn't argue with her. She did have something else to do.
Chu Xintian asked the village head, Wang Dalu, to help her find someone to improve the saline-alkali land.
These days, Chu Xintian has been busy cutting trees, digging ditches, and building houses, and she has not found time to discuss the problem of finding workers with Wang Dalu.
During this period, Wang Dalu twice helped Chu Xintian's good contacts to come to Chu Xintian, but Chu Xintian stopped first.
Today, the house has finally started, and Niu Li has come to cook. Chu Xintian felt that she should go to Wang Dalu and talk about how to improve the land and find.
It was supposed to have started a long time ago, but it was postponed for various reasons. So far, Chu Xintian has been worried that other idle people in the village will go elsewhere to find work, so her family will have no workers to improve this saline land.
Moreover, Chu Xintian felt that Wang Dalu had already gone to her house to find her twice and wanted to tell her about it, but she postponed it, she was afraid that Wang Dalu would be unhappy. After all, Chu Xintian's request for Wang Dalu's help couldn't make people's hot faces stick to their cold butts.
But fortunately, Chu Xintian was worried too much, and seeing Chu Xintian coming to the door, Wang Dalu was still very enthusiastic.
"Second daughter-in-law Bai, did you come to me to talk about the start of work, I found all the people for you, didn't you say that you wanted to wait last time, everyone is waiting"
What Wang Dalu said is also true. It's farming time. The peasants in the fields have been without income for a long time. Men and women in the village have no way to earn a living.
The diligent people went to other places to work part-time, and those who did not want to move lived in the village, and they wandered around the village every day, and the east and west were short, and there was nothing to do.
Everyone heard that Chu Xintian had work to do at home, and they all wanted to actively participate.
"That's right, Uncle Village, I'm coming to see you today. That's what it said. ”
"Okay, you wait, I'll call everyone here."
Then Wang Dalu sent his wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson out to his house those who had agreed to work.
The village is also not large, and people gather quickly.
Chu Xintian looked at it, and the people in the hall were all familiar.
There are Xu San who drove in the north of the village, Niu Gensheng, Niu Li's bull, Niu Erzhuang, Niu Li's brother-in-law, and Bai Laosan, Bai Laosi, Tian Mi, and Hu Bajin.
"See if I've found these guys for you, is that enough?"
At the beginning, Chu Xintian asked Wang Dalu to help her find six or seven households. Now, there are only five households.
Chu Xintian thought for a moment and immediately understood Wang Dalu's intentions.
