Chapter 61: Liu Family Relatives

In the end, half a month later, a new type of green and red sugarcane was born in the sugarcane field, and it was all over the ground. Chi Yue knew that the hybridization was successful!

She excitedly looks forward to the harvest of the new sugarcane as soon as possible, so that she can know how much more production has been achieved.

Chi Yue moved the new sugarcane out of the space and planted it in the 20 acres of fertile land outside.

Since the New Year, Chi Yue has been asking people who can rent land, and when he encounters good land with fertile soil, he will not hesitate to rent it at a high price, and one rent is five or six years.

More than ten acres of land cost nearly 100 taels of silver.

Everyone also knew that Chi Yue's hands were really generous, and he could be described as a small local landlord.

Chi Yue sowed sugar cane so aggressively, so naturally it was inevitable to use more manpower.

In addition to the ten women who farmed with her in the workshop that returned to work, Chi Yue recruited more than a dozen male laborers one after another to supplement the lack of manpower during the busy period.

Even in the busy season of early spring, it can be seen that Chi Yue is generous, each person can get 30 wen a day, and many families go to work on their own land alone, and send one or two people to earn the rich extra money of Chi Yue's family.

Qiao's was naturally greedy, so he pleaded with Boss Chi, and took his son Chi Yuan, who had nothing to do at home all day long, eating, drinking and having fun, to go to Chi Yue's side to work.

"I'm not going." Chi Yuan frowned and said, "Mother, you haven't let me work in the field when you urinate, why did you let me go to Chi Yue to sacrifice my ugliness today?" Do you still think that I didn't get into the show, and I'm idle at home, isn't it ugly enough? ”

"You have nothing to do at home all day, and it is even more ugly for people to see!" Qiao Shi nodded his forehead ruthlessly, "Didn't we say okay, since we don't want to study, we have to help us farm at home." If you don't even plant land, what do you want to do? Could it be that you also want to learn from Chi Yue's dead girl to do business? ”

"That's what I thought." Chi Yuan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and swore authentically, "I have already discussed with Third Brother Liu in the county seat, the two of us will pool some silver and do some small business of reselling, I think in the long run, the business will get bigger and bigger, and the profits will become more and more lucrative." By that time, we won't have to look at Ikezuki's face again! ”

Qiao's and the boss of the pool looked at each other, and the two of them didn't know anything about doing business, so they were quite drumming in their hearts.

"My son, are you really sure?" Qiao Shi cautiously asked, "If we lose money in business, where can we afford to lose?" Not to mention the future, where do we have the money to invest in it now? ”

Chi Yuan looked at Qiao's family, "Mother, didn't you and Nian Nian ask for ten taels of silver from Chi Yue?" You lend me now, and when you make a profit, I will pay you back double. ”

Qiao Shi sighed, paused and said: "It was under the pretext of your grandmother's pension that Chi Yue squeezed out a little bit of broken silver, your grandmother is hidden like a baby, and you are reluctant to spend it, where are you willing to give us a little bit?" ”

"Mother, you shouldn't have said it like that, so you drew a line with Chi Yue's family." Chi Yuan muttered dissatisfiedly, "If there is such a way back, I think I can get a little bit of silver from Chi Yue today, so that what I promised to Liu Sange can also be cashed." ”

Qiao's self is also regretful.

Boss Chi listened to the two of them making unsightly calculations, but he felt bored, and went to the ground with a hoe on his shoulder.

Chi Yuan saw that Boss Chi was gone, so he cautiously said to Qiao's family: "Mother, my son will discuss something with you, and I hope you agree." ”

Qiao's loved his precious son the most, and patted his hand, "You can just say it, whatever your mother can give you, even if you give up this old life, you will get it." ”

"My mother loves me the most." Chi Yuan hugged Qiao's shoulders, the mother and son were in deep love, and said slowly, "I want to mortgage our two houses, Brother Liu said, if this is the case, he can lend me ten taels of silver first, and then it is not too late to redeem it when he earns money." ”

Qiao's heart was originally like honey, but at this moment, he was suddenly doused with cold water, and looked at Chi Yuan in surprise, "Yuan'er, this house is all our family's belongings!" And we haven't separated from the old house, but the title deed of this house is written in your father's name, where can we say that the mortgage will be mortgaged? ”

Chi Yuan frowned, let go of Qiao's family, and said with some anger: "The aunt is a woman's family, and she knows that she is separated from the old mansion, so she will live a good life with her daughters." It's good for you to rely on your grandmother all day long, so that people don't feel ashamed! Seeing that he was so unbearable in his son's eyes, Qiao's eyes turned red, and he slapped Chi Yuan and shouted, "You conscienceless thing!" Aren't we afraid that we will not be able to support this large family without your grandmother and relying only on our one-third of an acre of land? If you are as capable as Chi Yue and can support this family, where are we willing to eat under your grandma's hands? ”

Chi Yuan became more and more annoyed, "Mother, how do you know that I am not as good as Chi Yue?" Didn't I say that I plan to do business with Brother Liu? If you want to blame, you can only blame you for being incompetent, and you can't support me. If you give me this money, why worry that I won't be able to earn ten times as much in the future? ”

After some noise, Qiao Shi was moved by Chi Yuan, so he simply sat down and asked in a sullen voice: "Then you say, what do you want us to do?" ”

"Divorced from my grandmother, these two houses fell under my father's name." Chi Yuan said word by word.

Qiao Shi couldn't help but be a little flustered, and confirmed to Chi Yuan again, "Are you really sure?" ”

"Mother!" Chi Yuan shouted impatiently, "If even you don't believe me, who will trust my son?" ”

Joe's compromise in the end.

In May, when the spring flowers are in full bloom, the sugarcane fields of Chigetsu also have a bumper harvest.

This time, the yield of sugarcane harvested is more than the two last year combined, and it is sweet and delicious, and the taste is better.

Chi Yue was relieved that her adventure to the south in exchange for such a generous reward was worth it!

Striking while the iron was hot, Chi Yue found a vacant dyeing workshop in the county seat.

Seeing that this workshop is a two-storey small building, with a single courtyard, the house is divided into nearly ten rooms, and the area is seven or eight times that of the workshop in the village. Although it is far less spacious than Gu Han's workshop, it is not bad, enough to accommodate hundreds of people to work here.

Chi Yue immediately made a decision and rented it for a year at a high price of one hundred and twenty taels of silver.

She and a few others cleaned up the workshop and set it up properly, and posted a recruitment notice outside the door.

"Recruit 100 sugar workers with a monthly salary of 500 Wen", which is 1,200 Wen more than the salary in the village, which is also considered rich in the county.

Therefore, on the day of recruitment, many people came to inquire.

After that, he stepped through the threshold every day, and the applicants lined up in a long line.

Chi Yue still selects those who are strong, but there are no restrictions on men and women, and a lot of young people are selected.

The probation period is still one month, the first month is 300 Wen, and after becoming a regular worker, in addition to 500 Wen, there are many generous benefits during the New Year's holidays.

Although everyone is greedy for this lucrative job, they can't help but have doubts about Chi Yue himself.

Twelve-year-old Chi Yue's body is not yet formed, and she is a head shorter than the shortest adult. Can such a young girl really take care of such a large workshop and manage hundreds of workers?

Don't be impulsive, spend countless times to make a start, and gradually lose interest and patience, and leave it alone, then how will these workers deal with themselves?

Chi Xin listened to some gossip in the crowd, frowned to find Chi Yue, and quietly told her these discussions.

"Yue'er, I don't think they can trust you very much, if they don't listen to your command again, then what can they do, shouldn't this workshop be messed up?" Chi Xin was worried.

Chi Yue was not shocked, hooked her lips and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the soldiers will come to block, the water will cover the earth, and I will have my own countermeasures when the time comes." ”

Most of the women in the village could not come to the county seat twenty miles away, so Chiyue had to re-select several team leaders from among these newcomers to make it easier to manage.

She paced up and down in front of a hundred men and women, looking at them for a long time.

Eventually, she selected 10 team leaders. Each team leader looks upright, and his spirit is shining, although he is not the strongest, he looks the most kind, and he has a tiger-like style, not angry and self-threatening.

"Boss Chi, I want you to come to this county for the first time, don't you recognize me?"

A middle-aged woman with a wide body and a fat body stood up, her face full of pride and pride.

The well-dressed head, as well as the silver hairpin bead ring, does not seem to be to work, but it seems to be to show off.

Chi Yue said lightly: "Those who come here to work are all here to make money, and they are doing the same job, regardless of whether they are high or low, I don't have to care about your identity." ”

The woman snorted coldly and continued proudly, "But if you know that I am a relative of the Liu family, can you still turn a blind eye and treat me as an equal to these inferior people? ”

It's the Liu family again!

It can really be said that one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. This Liu Guifei has a noble status, and the distant relatives of these cats and dogs below also stood up with their waists, and there was no one in their eyes.

Chi Yue only felt funny, "So what? ”

"So what?" When the woman heard this, she glared at her in disbelief, "I'm a relative of the Liu family!" Aunt Liu Guifei's uncle's cousin's third daughter's daughter! The status of the Liu family is very important in the county, this is a well-known fact, and now that you know, you should also promote me to the team leader. ”

"So that's what you're thinking." Chi Yue nodded thoughtfully, "It's just that what I don't understand is, since you said that you are a relative of the Liu family, why did you come to me to work as a coolie?" It's better to go to the Liu family's house and get a good job of doing a good job. ”

When the woman heard this, her face turned red.

She raised her eyebrows, craned her neck and said in a rough voice: "I don't like to do the work of serving people, but I like to do such hard work, what's the matter?" Boss Chi, I think this is my freedom, right? ”

It's also a matter of my word to fire you, and this is also my freedom as a boss. Chi Yue gritted her teeth.

She was about to exit, but Chi Xin pulled her on the side and said in a low voice: "We can't afford to offend the relatives of the Liu family, so let's listen to her and give her a position as the team leader." Seeing that this woman is strong, she is also a good hand when she wants to work. ”

Chi Yue didn't want to cause more trouble, but she couldn't stand the coercion of others the most, so she made a compromise and made a decision immediately.
