Chapter 176 Wages are paid
Uncle Shui and his entourage of charcoal burners brought their own food yesterday, and they still bring their own food today.
Seeing that there was no figure of Uncle Shui and his party, Shen Xiaomeng said to Kong Tongsheng
"Brother Kong, you go and call the ten uncles who burn charcoal."
"Hey, good!" Uncle Shui's ten people are piece-rated, and they came to chop wood yesterday, so Kong Tongsheng didn't care about them at all, and now when he heard Shen Xiaomeng's words, he finished answering and went to find Uncle Shui.
At the foot of the mountain, Aunt Shui and Aunt Wu had already laid out all the food and water according to Shen Xiaomeng's instructions.
Looking at the villagers who came down the mountain, Aunt Shui said to Aunt Wu
"Wash your hands here, drink water over there, grab the dishes and chopsticks, and line up to eat!"
Shen Xiaomeng walked to the food and helped Aunt Shui and Aunt Wu.
Seeing that it was fried vegetables with pork belly, the villagers began to swallow their saliva, they never thought that Shen Xiaomeng would actually cook meat.
The person in the first place, called Uncle Bian, looked at the meat in the barrel with his eyes and asked
"Shen Niangzi, is the dish a scoop?"
The food at the villagers' homes is usually poor, and if they eat as much as they want, this dish will definitely not be enough, so Shen Xiaomeng said with a smile
"That's right, a scoop of vegetables is right, the nest is full, you want as much as you eat, you are not allowed to throw it away, and you are not allowed to take it away! After eating the dishes and chopsticks, put them back in their original places, you don't need to wash them! ”
"Hey, okay, then I want four nests!" Although the dishes are restricted, and there are more green vegetables than meat, Uncle Bian still exclaimed happily.
With the demonstration of the first person, the people in line behind were all cooked by Shen Xiaomeng, and Aunt Shui and Aunt Wu made a nest.
Uncle Shui is the last of the ten people, because he cares more about work, so he hasn't eaten yet, Kong Tongsheng asked them to bring back the food they brought in the evening, from today onwards, they don't need to bring food at noon in the future, Shen Xiaomeng will prepare lunch.
Looking at the fried vegetables with pork belly, the ten charcoal burners, like the villagers in front, swallowed their saliva.
Uncle Shui handed over the bowl and said, "Four wowotou!" ”
After beating the vegetables and taking the wowotou, he walked aside, squatted on the ground, took a big bite of the wowotou, and sandwiched a piece of meat, and the moment the meat entered his mouth, his face was full of happiness.
From today onwards, you don't have to bring food, and you can eat a meal of meat, although there is little meat, but you can't taste meat at home all year round.
Therefore, this kind of food is good food, and this kind of person who is good to the workers in the main family, but he can't find it with a lantern, and he must work hard.
Ah Guang was the youngest among the ten of them, he took the dishes, took the nest head, walked to Uncle Shui and squatted down
"I didn't expect the Dong family to be so good, not to mention the high salary, and there is meat to eat, it's so good!"
Because the ten people who burned the charcoal signed the deed, the ten of them now call Shen Xiaomeng: Dongjia.
Uncle Shui: "Since you know that the owner is good, let's do more work and strive to burn more charcoal!" ”
"That's necessary!" Ah Guang patted his chest and finished speaking, then took another bite of the nest and took a bite of the dish
"Well, Aunt Shui's dishes are well cooked and delicious." When he said this, Ah Guang looked at Uncle Shui and said enviously
"Uncle Shui, you are blessed."
"Definitely, my mother-in-law's dish, I didn't blow it, it was really delicious!" In order to prove his words, Uncle Shui took another big bite of the nest head, and sandwiched a piece of meat with a satisfied face.
Uncle Shui and his entourage here are not only happy to eat, but also happy to say, and the villagers over there are also doing the same.
The salary is high, the food is good, and everyone is happy for this exchange.
Because of Shen Xiaomeng's words in front, the villagers did not hide their meals in order to keep their jobs.
Kong Tongsheng was the last to eat, and after the meal, Shen Xiaomeng ate with Aunt Shui and Aunt Wu.
After eating, Shen Xiaomeng asked Aunt Shui and Aunt Wu to put away their things, and told them to clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes after they went back, and specially explained: After the dishes are washed, they must be put in boiling water and boiled.
It doesn't take too long, less than half a cup of tea! (About three or four minutes)
Ancient people didn't know about disinfection, but Shen Xiaomeng, who is the core of the modern soul, even if there is no disinfection cabinet here, it must also be disinfected manually.
Aunt Shui and Aunt Wu said in unison, "I know Mrs. Shen." ”
After instructing Aunt Shui and Aunt Wu, Shen Xiaomeng said to Kong Tongsheng
"Brother Kong, don't go to the mountain later, you go to the Zhanju people and buy the other half of the mountain, this is silver."
Yesterday I borrowed five hundred taels of silver, except for the silver I bought for the carriage today, and the things I bought, there are still more than four hundred taels of silver left, and I will send the boy to the academy tomorrow, Shen Xiaomeng gave Kong Tongsheng three hundred and fifty taels of silver.
When handing over the silver, Shen Xiaomeng asked again, "Brother Kong, will you catch the carriage?" ”
Kong Tongsheng: "I can't drive a horse-drawn cart, but I can drive an ox-cart, and I think the horse-drawn cart should be similar to the ox-cart." ”
Shen Xiaomeng hadn't driven the ox cart, she didn't know, so she could only say to Kong Tongsheng
"Brother Kong, you try it."
Kong Tongsheng: "Okay! ”
Kong Tongsheng tried to drive back at the foot of the mountain
"Shen Niangzi, you can!"
Shen Xiaomeng: "Since you can, then you can send Aunt Shui and Aunt Wu back, and I will take them to the mountains to continue working." ”
Kong Tongsheng: "Okay! ”
Although Shen Xiaomeng was changed in the afternoon, the villagers were all working hard as in the morning, especially with the lunch meal, there was only one thought in everyone's hearts, that is: Don't be fired!
Kong Tongsheng's side is also quite smooth, after all, Zhanju people want to tie up Nangong Yu, so the price of the mountain, the general price, three taels of silver per mu.
When it was time to receive wages in the evening, Kong Tongsheng set up a table in the courtyard, he sat in the right position, and Shen Xiaomeng and Zaizi sat on both sides.
The villagers had already lined up and were waiting for their wages to be paid.
Kong Tongsheng spread out the ledger in his hand
"Don't worry, everyone, follow the order of the queue, one by one."
When Uncle Bian ate, he was the first, and now when he receives the money, he is still the first.
Looking at Uncle Bian, Kong Tongsheng turned to the page of his name and said
"Uncle Bian, will you fix the silver tomorrow or the piecework silver that you get more for more work?"
Uncle Bian: "Let's count the pieces!" ”
Kong Tongsheng used a pen to draw a hook on the piece
"Uncle Bian, I'll say it again here, whether it's a fixed or a piece of work that pays more, you are not allowed to cheat and play tricks, if I find out that your work is hairy and lazy, I will dismiss you mercilessly."
Uncle Bian: "I will definitely do a good job!" ”
Kong Tongsheng: "Hmm! He said, "Go to Shen Niangzi to get forty money, and come to me early tomorrow morning to gather!" ”
"Good, good!" Hearing that he was really receiving forty dollars, Uncle Bian smiled and said three good words in a row.
Looking at the happy Uncle Bian, Shen Xiaomeng pushed the forty yuan to him
"Uncle Bian, dot, confirm!"
