Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Hired Caretaker
The village chief liked Ye Yun'er very much, so he didn't ask much, so he nodded and agreed.
On the same day, he came to Ye Yun'er and passed Uncle Mo's reply.
"Uncle Mo said, because your whole family will not starve to death, and they will have the opportunity to go out with their son to enjoy happiness, so they only need two taels of silver for these three acres of land, and they will belong to you in the future!"
Ye Yun'er listened and was speechless with gratitude.
The next day, Ye Changchuan's family met with Uncle Mo at the village chief and signed the land transfer document.
Seeing that they had three more acres of land in addition to their own acre of land, they were immediately full of fighting spirit and ready to roll up their sleeves and do a big job.
This time, Ye Yun'er only exchanged a large number of tomato seeds in the 0.5% game backpack loaded.
They didn't hire anyone, but a family of three worked for several days in a row, and they sowed tomatoes on all three acres of land.
The remaining acre of land was divided from the old house, and they had to keep it to grow some wheat, corn, peanuts and other common crops, so that they could save it and eat it for themselves on weekdays.
Ye Changchuan and the others were very curious about where Ye Yun'er's tomato seeds came from, Ye Yun'er said haha that she had picked out the best tomato pulp from the best tomatoes in advance and dried them, and the two believed her and stopped asking.
Ye Yun'er knew that the process was very cumbersome and troublesome, so it was better to take it directly from the backpack, so she didn't bother to spend so much effort.
Not long after, the tomatoes sprouted, and Ye Yun'er's family erected a scaffold for winding vine leaves.
Even though the seeds that came out of the game backpack matured very quickly, they bore fruit in half a month and gradually matured, but because everyone didn't know the growth law of this thing, no one questioned it.
However, Ye Yun'er often found that there was a shortage of fruits, as if they had been stolen, and even when some cattle, sheep and poultry passed by, they often came to bite without people paying attention, which was simply unguardable.
During the day, they can often come and patrol, but at night the wind and cold are very heavy, and they are reluctant to let each other stay here all the time, and at the same time it is extremely dangerous.
After thinking about it, Ye Yun'er decided to set up a fence around her and take care of people to guard it!
She said she would do it.
Ye Changchuan and Gu Boss in the same village are good friends all year round, and when they saw that Ye Yun'er wanted to find someone to take over the job, they immediately thought of him.
"Gu Lao's family has a son and a daughter, and the son blew up one eye because he played with firecrackers when he was young, and in order to heal him, his family was depressed, and he spent all his savings. Now that there is such a good opportunity to make money, you have to give it to him. ”
Ye Yun'er knew that the person who could make Ye Changchuan look down on him must be a down-to-earth and hard-working, and he didn't have many fancy intestines, so she immediately asked Ye Changchuan to find him.
Although Boss Gu is about the same age as Ye Changchuan, he can't be treated because of his son's injury, and when he reaches the age of marrying, no one is willing to marry, and they can't come up with a decent dowry.
However, he was so grateful to Ye Changchuan that he gave him such a good job, and he almost burst into tears.
"Brother Ye helped me so much in the past, now that your life is better, you haven't forgotten us, we really don't know how to repay you!"
"Why, didn't you come to work to help us?" Ye Changchuan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
Boss Gu nodded, and solemnly promised, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you take care of this place, I will watch it at night, and hand it over to my son during the day, so that those wishful thoughts will not be cheap." ”
From beginning to end, he didn't ask a word, what the salary was, it seemed that it was important to help Ye Changchuan's family, and the rest didn't matter at all.
Ye Yun'er had no choice but to smile and mention this stubble to Boss Gu, "Uncle Gu, as long as you do well, this salary will be indispensable to you." Fifty wen a day, five hundred wen a month, what do you think? ”
When Boss Gu heard this, he was so shocked that he opened his mouth, "We're just looking at a few pieces of land, and you give so much?" ”
That expression seemed to say that Ye Yun'er would not live.
You know, those who work in the city now earn about this amount, and some of them are only three or four hundred yuan.
Five hundred wen a month, five or six taels of silver a year, that has to catch up with a rich family in a village!
Ye Yun'er's family insisted on doing so.
Boss Gu excused himself a few times, but seeing that he couldn't refuse, he knew that Ye Changchuan was interested in helping him, so he had to make up his mind, "Okay, five hundred is five hundred." However, the work of weeding, watering, and fertilizing your fields is all mine, and no one will want to rob me! ”
Ye Yun'er was worried that she couldn't find someone to help them do these tedious tasks, and when she saw that Boss Gu had taken care of it, she happily agreed.
With the help of branches broken from the woods, the crowd finally gathered around the three acres of land, and it was so tight that it was difficult for anyone and animals to squeeze in.
As for the birds in the sky, the crowd used earth methods to tie up many scarecrows in order to drive them away.
Boss Gu also built a small thatched hut on the ground alone overnight, so that when it was windy and rainy, he could also keep an eye here.
Seeing that the tomatoes were ripe, and the bunches were particularly attractive, Boss Gu picked them for Ye Yun'er's family without compensation, and helped Ye Changchuan push them to the town together, and sent them to Zuixiao Tower.
Since Zuixiao Lou is an old signboard in the town, the shopkeeper Yan's words are very weighty, and once the signboard of this tomato is out, it will be out of control, attracting a large number of customers to come and taste it.
Stir-fried vegetables with tomatoes have become the signature dish here.
Seeing that this dish was so popular, Shopkeeper Yan simply raised the price to forty or fifty yuan per plate. Even so, the number of guests attracted by it is overwhelming.
Zuixiao Mansion has become the most eye-catching and popular merchant after the famine.
Shopkeeper Yan couldn't wait for Ye Yun'er to fulfill her promise and supply the tomatoes.
He originally thought that Ye Yun'er was praising Haikou, but it can be seen that when she really sent a cart of tomatoes over, she couldn't help but value her and rush up.
The woman who can make Mu Yihan value is really not simple!
When Boss Gu was picking tomatoes, he called his son Gu Ze to help.
Gu Ze is only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he looks very old and serious.
His left eye was black and hollow, which was particularly scary, and perhaps because of this, he often lowered his head and did not dare to look at people. Hardly speaking, I don't know if I think he's a dumb person who can't speak.
But when he started working, he was like his father, a master who worked hard and hardly without rest.
An hour passed, and under the persuasion of Ye Changchuan's family, the two sweaty laborers were willing to sit down and rest, and took the water handed by Ye Yun'er.
Ye Yun'er handed a bowl of water to Gu Ze, Gu Ze raised his eyes slightly, looked at Ye Yun'er with a shrunken look, then lowered his eyes again, took the water extremely carefully, and drank it silently.
