453 Suspicious of the East and Suspicion of the West

"Just wash the bracken, as long as you pay a little money, there are more people in the village who are willing to do it." It was Daddy Zhang who spoke, and he walked over from the bedroom.

"Daddy Zhang......" Su Qingyue saw him and quickly stood up politely.

"Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, don't be busy......," he said politely, "just sit down." ”

"I've said it a long time ago, you two elders just call me Qingyue, or Yue'er."

"Okay, okay...... Aunt Zhang also called, "Qingyue, how many people are you going to find to work for you?" ”

"Find ten." She asked, "I don't know how much a day you get?" ”

"Just wash the vegetables. Money isn't that easy to earn. Aunt Zhang said, "Someone in the village went to Liu'an Town, three hundred miles away from the town, to work as a shopkeeper, and the salary was 300 wen a month, and it was only about 10 wen a day. You give ten dollars a day, that's enough. ”

Qingyue thought for a while, "I give fifteen wen a day's wages, but you have to be diligent, you can wash five or six hundred catties of bracken a day, Aunt Zhang, can you help me find ten people?" If you get paid, I will finish the day's work. ”

Aunt Zhang's heart ached, "Fifteen Wen is so much a day?" Now, although it is said that bracken can be sold for half a pound, it is still cost-effective to find bracken to sell, but in the nearby mountains and farther mountains, the bracken has long been exhausted, and it is not easy to hit bracken, and it is difficult to find bayberry. If you're looking for a job, someone is going to rush to do it. ”

"I have a request. To wash the bracken, I have to pick it from my house and wash it in the river, and when I wash it, I have to remove the curly fern, wipe the fine hair, soak it in the jar I designated, then rinse it, and then take it out to dry, of course, I will pay the wages by the day. I won't eat the food or anything. ”

Aunt Zhang patted her chest, "No problem, it's on me." ”

Father Zhang said, "Qingyue, the village has been blessed by you, the bracken has been sold, and everyone has made some money, and there are many people who thank you." In previous years, this kind of astringent and unpalatable bracken was rotten in the mountains, and no one wanted to come at all. There is also bayberry, such a sour fruit, no one eats it, what do you say you want to do with the big family that buys it on your behalf? ”

Su Qingyue didn't want to deceive people, so she just said, "I'll tell you later." ”

"Don't ask, old man." Aunt Zhang glanced at him.

Daddy Zhang stammered honestly and sneered with a wrinkled face, thinking of what happened last time, "Qingyue, last time I went to Aoki Village, I already told your eldest sister Xiao Ailiu about the situation of the Xiao family, has Xiao Ailiu ever come back?" ”

She shook her head.

Aunt Zhang sighed, "Xiao Ailiu is too conscienceless, as the sister of the Xiao family, before she got married, the burden of the Xiao family has always been picked by the mountains, she doesn't care at all, and she always dislikes the West." The last time my old man brought me a message, you hadn't sold the recipe yet. If Xiao Ailiu knew that you had made money selling formulas, he would not have to come back to rob them. ”

"Not really." Father Zhang disagreed, "I look at Xiao Ailiu's frame, if she doesn't come back for so many years, she doesn't plan to have any more dealings with the Xiao family." Probably won't be coming back. ”

"She can't come back." Su Qingyue didn't know the woman anyway, "By the way, when soaking bracken, I still need a jar or a big wooden basin, who has idle and useless, can you help me borrow some?" I give a fee for the use of one penny a day. ”

"That's a good deal, there are so many households in the village, and some of them are idle, they must have borrowed from you." Aunt Zhang said, "I have an old jar at home, and there are two old pots." ”
