I have to say that the newly built house is comfortable to live in, not to mention the furniture and everything, just take the toilet as an example, it is also very convenient to use.

Not to mention the bathroom, Ye Feng waved his hand and bought several wooden barrels proudly, and that night, except for Ye's, several people comfortably took a hot bath. Qianyan was even more reluctant to come out of the bucket, if it wasn't for Ye Ermei forcibly holding her out, I don't know how long it would take to soak.

Therefore, although it was the first day of living in a new home, no one suffered from insomnia, but slept more peacefully.

In this way, those who suffer from insomnia because of the new environment may be because the new environment is not comfortable enough, or even the original environment is not as good as the original environment.

Ye was the first to get up, because she was really hungry and worried about the pigs in the old house next door. Chickens and ducks all inhabit the forest, so she doesn't have to worry. There is food in the forest, and it is a big deal to go and feed when it is empty.

Thinking of this, Ye Shi realized that everyone was busy moving to a new house before, but they forgot to ask those craftsmen to repair this Yongdao by the way. Now that the accounts have been settled and the people have dispersed, it seems that we can only ask for it again.

Although no one lives in it, everything is the same in the old house. Seeing that the pigs in the pigsty were all there, compared to the yard he had just walked out of, Ye suddenly felt disgusted with this old mansion for no reason.

Love the new and hate the old.

After going home for breakfast, Ye talked about the construction of the Yongdao. Chen Jixing continued: "That's without further ado, while everyone is free during this time, just start repairing immediately." As I said, just put a wall on that side as well. ”

Ye Feng knew what he meant.

Now that everyone lives here, he and the Ye family always feel that it is not safe to leave the old mansion like that. If it's empty, it's fine, but there are so many pigs inside, it's really a bit of a hidden danger.

Hearing this, Ye also agreed with this proposal.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said, "I have a suggestion here, you can listen to it first." If it doesn't work, just do what you say. I think it's a waste to just build a wall. Anyway, it's so big, why don't we tear down all those houses, build them all into pigsties, and fence them off. ”

"Why are you building so many pigsties? Even if you want to raise dozens of pigs, we don't have that much time. Ye asked curiously.

As soon as Ye Feng said it, she probably understood.

However, she is about to give birth, and when the time comes, not only will she not be able to help, but she will have to ask others to take care of her, where is so much time.

Hearing this, Ye Feng smiled and said, "Sister, we don't have time, others have it." I mean, we take a couple of dozen piglets and hire a guy to help feed them. As a result, dozens of more pigs are produced every year. In the end, it's a lot of income. ”

Chen Jixing remained silent, thinking about what Ye Feng said in his heart. To tell the truth, since Ye Feng came to this house, his mind has become active, and he is no longer the "old nerd" in the mouths of the villagers before.

Ye Feng was very right, he just hired someone to help feed him. They don't have to worry about anything but food. Anyway, the land is his own, and it's a big deal if he doesn't sell the grain.

Thinking of this, Chen Jixing said: "I think it's okay, anyway, building a pigsty is very simple, but it costs some stones." Why don't we just try it? ”

Seeing Chen Jixing so bold, Ye said: "He is messing around, you don't persuade him, but he also coaxes!" Let's not talk about the rest, I'll just ask, who are you going to ask for help? Also, how do you get paid? It's all from the villagers, and it's very troublesome if you don't handle it well. ”

Speaking of which, Ye's words are not unreasonable. But hiring people is not easy. Feeding dozens of pigs is not a worry-free task, and there are more places to worry.

However, in Ye Feng's opinion, in fact, there is no need to worry about it at all. Just look at the Yaya Township Kitchen, as long as you can make money at the door of your home, how many people are rushing to come in.

As for face? He can see these people in Chenjia Village clearly, as long as there is money to earn, he doesn't care about face or anything. And what's wrong with helping to feed the pigs, why is there no face.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said: "Sister, you don't have to worry, do you think, let's hire someone to help feed the pigs, do you want to help him earn money?" You don't have to leave the village, you can earn money, which is a good thing. As for the salary, of course, it should be based on the actual situation. You see, a pig can be sold for about seven or eight taels of silver, but it's not worth so much, and you have to remove the grain and buy the piglet's silver. When you calculate it, it is a maximum of five taels of silver. If we feed forty pigs, then we'll give four pigs to the man. Of course, he has to be responsible for the pigweed or something, and we are only responsible for the food, and nothing else. ”

When Ye heard it, it was also the same truth, which was simply a win-win situation. As far as Ye Feng just said, as soon as he was released, some people came to the door to apply. It's just that four pigs, that is, twenty taels of silver, is it a bit much?

Thinking of this, Ye Shi said it directly.

Ye Feng said: "It's a bit much, but if this is not the case, that person will probably not go all out." And raising forty pigs is not a trivial matter, and it is not easy to prepare pig food for most of the day. As long as we have enough money, I think the man will be able to feed the pigs very well. ”

The idea passed, and everyone began to think about the candidates.

This person must be honest and diligent, and he must have raised pigs, and most importantly, he must find time. I took this job, but I had to soak here for most of the day.

Maybe you need help from your family, such as hunting pigweed or something.

After thinking about it for a long time, there was no suitable person. It's just that because the people in the village either rent land to plant or have their own land, it is difficult to find time.

Ye Feng said: "It's nothing, let's ask craftsmen to build a pigsty first, and at the same time release this condition." We don't have to think about it at all, some people come to us to discuss it themselves. ”

When Chen Jixing and Ye heard this, they also reasoned, anyway, they just had to release the conditions and requirements, as for whether they were competent or not, the villagers knew in their hearts. This money is not so easy to earn, and you must think maturely before you dare to take it.

Chen Jixing immediately got up to look for those craftsmen, and by the way, he released the news that he was going to recruit workers. The craftsmen were thinking that they would probably have no work to do during this time, and that they would have to recuperate for a while, and they would soon have work to do.

Immediately said that he could take the guy to work at any time.

However, Chen Jixing's large-scale construction of a pigsty did not attract everyone's attention, but the news of recruiting workers made the villagers discuss.

Aunt Cha Wu naturally heard it, so she immediately found the Huang family to confirm the authenticity of this matter. Unexpectedly, this thing turned out to be true, and Aunt Zha said yearningly.

"I wanted to do it, but I was just feeding the pigs, and I wasn't necessarily tired. However, the three eldest men in the family can't cook or wash clothes, and they really can't leave. It's a shame to think about. ”

Hearing this, Huang said: "It's a pity, what's a pity? Do you think it's a good thing to live with pigs every day? I can't stand the thought of forty pigs barking together when they're hungry. ”

Glancing at Huang, Aunt Cha said, "It's like you don't have a pigsty at home!" In the same courtyard, don't you pass the same way. And think about the wages, and the four pigs will cost more than twenty taels of silver. Although it is not as good as cooking, it is definitely better than farming. Especially for people like us, who rent other people's land to plant, after a year of hard work, even if they sell all the grain they get, it is less than ten taels of silver. It's a pity, it's a pity......"

When Aunt Cha said this, the Huang family was a little moved.

It's not that she wants to go, she wants her mother's family to come over and take over this errand. It's just that after thinking about it, with the faces of her mother's brothers and sisters-in-law, if she doesn't get into trouble, she will burn high incense, so she has to give up.

But he didn't rest, but walked around, ready to listen to what everyone had to say.

What she didn't know was that her good sister Fan was also playing with this idea.

Since turning over peanuts in the field and selling them for silver, Fan's has been doing very well recently. First, the family suddenly had an extra income, and she also had private money, so it was very convenient to buy anything she wanted, and she didn't have to touch the money at home.

The second is that her mother-in-law is much more polite to her. Although her family was unable to join the Yaya Township Kitchen for some reasons, there were more people in the village who failed to join, and she was not the only one, which was not very conspicuous.

Speaking of this, she felt that she was underestimating the Ye family.

Originally, the members of the Yaya Township Kitchen were all good friends with the Ye family, and later developed into their own relatives or something. It's nothing, it's human nature. If she were replaced, she would do the same.

As a result, some time ago, the Ye family suddenly selected a distant relative of the Ye family, the wife of the village chief, as a porcelain agent, and it was said that he could make money.

Since then, with the help of the Changshengguo incident, she always feels that the village chief looks at Chen Jixing's family differently.

If you want to say that Chen Jixing's family released this condition, she is 100% moved. Her family has a total of three acres of land, and she has worked hard to grow it for a year, and the food she has laid is enough to eat.

She and her mother-in-law can do some embroidery, but it's not a way to go on like this, anyway, she has been seeing things more and more clearly recently, and it's definitely caused by staying up late to make embroidery. If you can't see clearly, it's a lifetime thing.

Her son has not yet married and had children, she has not yet become a mother-in-law, she must not be like this!

On the contrary, if she can take over this job this time, she will return the few acres of land she rented, and only plant the three acres of her own land, plus two children to help fight pigweed, this work will definitely continue.

Thinking of this, I discussed it with my family.

Unbeknownst to him, his family strongly objected, and Fan was so angry that he cried, but he couldn't help it.

Shame on people? Hehe, she can see that the family is all face-saving people. However, if you want to save face, why do you still need to make embroidery? Isn't embroidery not working for people?

However, no matter how much Fan made trouble, there was no way, after all, her father-in-law and mother-in-law did not agree, and she couldn't do it alone, so she was depressed for several days. The Huang family naturally knew about this, and they were even happier in their hearts, who let her sell peanuts last time without her with her.

In this regard, Fan hated it even more in her heart, she never felt that Huang was so annoying. But when I think about it, my heart is much more balanced. What if you marry well, as far as Huang's IQ is concerned, he will play a good hand of cards to the brim.

If she had married into that house, she would have joined the Duck Duck Township Chef a long time ago.

At the moment, Chen Wumei has not yet left the cabinet, relying on Mrs. Liu's partiality for her eldest son, her Huang family is a good shade under the big tree, and she is cheating and playing tricks in everything. As soon as Chen Wumei comes out of the cabinet, the Zhu family's temperament will definitely be separated.

When the time comes, the family will be divided, and it will really be on your own. In silence, in fact, the Zhu family has long distanced itself from the Huang family. At that time, she wants to see who the Huang family is lazy with, and whether it will be like now, where they are very idle every day, running around talking about right and wrong.

For craftsmen who have just finished building a new house, building a pigsty is an extremely simple task. It's just a matter of carrying some stones down from the mountains, polishing them into a certain shape, and building them up.

For the convenience of pig farmers and for safety, two rooms were built far away from the pigsty, one for living and one for cooking and making pig food. It's just that the two rooms are well repaired, and all the furniture is complete, so you can live in it directly.

It took a lot of time to dig that big manure tank, because Ye Feng required it to be deep, but also to be simply paved and painted.

Finally, the wall was built.

When everything is fixed, it is absolutely impossible to see from the outside that this is actually a place for pigs. Especially according to Ye Feng's meaning, they also rebuilt a room at the entrance, and also placed trap furniture, in case the room inside smelled, it was also made to live here.

It's just a pity that the pigsty has been repaired, but no one has come to apply for the job.

Da Niu's mother and Zhao have been here a few times, and they said that it was a pity that there was no suitable person in their own family. Both of them are now cooking, and they are the core staff of the Yaya Township Kitchen, and Ye knows in his heart that it is impossible for them to come.

During this period, I received several people who came to consult. When I heard that the work that needed to be done was not light, and that I couldn't leave it behind every day, I retreated. They are all people who need to farm the land, and naturally they are not willing to give up their work in the field because of pig raising.

In fact, for thousands of years, the land has been like this, how many peasants have been tied to the ground, unwilling to go out or transformed. They don't think about anything other than farming.

Seeing this, Ye Shi was a little depressed, and said a little discouraged: "I really didn't think about it this time, I knew that I would build a pigsty when there was a candidate." It would be a waste if no one came in the end. ”

"Why is it wasted, if there is really no suitable person in the end, we will also raise chickens. Anyway, raising chickens is easy, not more tiring than raising pigs. ”

Obviously, Chen Jixing sees further.

Seeing that Chen Jixing had enlightened, Ye Feng said, "Brother-in-law, I still have something to say." In my opinion, someone will do this work, so let's just wait. It's just that whether you raise chickens or pigs, you need a lot of food. In my opinion, we might as well buy some more land. If you can't plant it, let's rent it out like Master Zhao. Anyway, it doesn't make sense to put the money at home, so it's better to buy some land, and let's just sit and collect the rent. ”

In this regard, Ye and Chen Jixing agreed unanimously. This made Ye Feng a little crying and laughing. As long as it comes to buying land, the two have great enthusiasm.

Seeing that the two agreed, Ye Feng added: "If you want to say that you buy too much, it is still quite eye-catching in the village." I have an idea, let's buy another ten acres of homestead in the village, and leave it alone. Then, take the silver and go to other villages to buy fifty acres. In this way, we only collect rent, but others don't know. ”

Chen Jixing and his wife agree with going to other villages to buy land, so that they will not only collect rent, but also unknowingly, and they don't know how much cleaner their ears should be.

However, Ye Shi couldn't understand the purchase of another ten acres of homestead, and said directly: "You think our family is not big enough." I'm quite satisfied with the house now, but I think it's a bit big, and it's a little quiet at night. ”

There is no one on the first floor, so naturally it is weird, who told everyone to run to the second floor. Thinking of this, Ye Feng said with a smile: "You are still too big, as soon as these two in your stomach come out, it will be lively." ”

"Then why do you still want to buy land?" Chen Jixing also had some questions.

Although he knew in his heart that Ye Feng definitely didn't buy land to grow crops, let alone build a new house.

"It's a bit early to say, but the land in our Chenjia Village will only get more and more expensive. Let's not talk about the others for the time being, I'll just say one thing, brother-in-law, think about it, next year the village will plant about ten acres of long-lasting fruits. At that price, every household must have kept some seeds and planted them themselves. The further back you go, the less and less land there is. Do you think it's cheaper to buy it then, or buy it cheaper now? ”

In fact, this is just Ye Feng's excuse, the real purpose of his purchase of land is to build an inn or farmhouse. It's too early, but wouldn't it be nice to buy it and put it here at a very low price?

Even if Chenjia Village does not develop to that extent at that time, it is okay to use it to plant flowers and plants. You can do whatever you want with your own land.

Hearing this, Chen Jixing somewhat understood what Ye Feng meant, so he no longer had any objections. Ye Shi even clapped his hands and said: "Then buy it, it's just, this time, this land is your own." You're not too young, it's time to think about yourself. ”

Just do it. Taking advantage of the recent harmonious relationship with the village chief's family, Chen Jixing took a breath, but in three or five days, he bought the ten acres of land that Ye Feng wanted.

After buying the land and passing the file, Ye Feng officially became the landlord.

It's just that there is still no one to come to pick up the work.

Thinking of what Ye Feng said, he had to ask the village chief first, in case someone from his old man wanted to recommend him, it could be regarded as giving him a face. Thinking of this, Chen Jixing went to the village chief's house and asked the village chief if there was a suitable candidate.

The village chief thought for a long time before saying, "What do you think of Chen Jitang?" ”

If you want to say that the person who is most familiar with the situation of the whole village, it is naturally Chen Jifa.

Chen Jitang in the mouth of the village chief is a well-known old bachelor in Chenjia Village. Because my father and mother passed away early, and there were no brothers and sisters at home to help support them, those days were getting poorer and poorer.

No, I look like I'm almost forty, but I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet.

It's no wonder that the big girl doesn't look down on him, but she can't live if she marries him. Originally, he also rented a few acres of land to plant, with some income, and life seemed to be like that. It's just that after a serious illness a few years ago, he simply quit the land, no longer rented seeds, and only lived by raising some chickens, ducks and pigs.

Chickens and ducks are fine, just talking about this pig, just relying on pigweed actually does not grow meat, and has to be fed some food. Therefore, at the end of the year, looking at a pig can be sold for a few taels of silver, in fact, excluding the cost of feeding grain, it will not make a few silver at all, that is, a whole picture.

The reason why Chen Jitang is recommended is not because the village chief is kind-hearted, but because Chen Jitang's mother has passed the village chief several times.

At that time, the village chief had just been born, but his mother had no milk for the time being, or Chen Jitang and his mother looked at the village chief pitifully and breastfed him a few times. The village chief has always remembered this love, so now that he has the opportunity, he wants to push the boat down the river to do personal favors.

Anyway, Chen Jixing's family invites anyone.

As soon as he heard the words "Chen Jitang", Chen Jixing patted his head and said excitedly: "Speaking of which, I forgot about him." To say that he also raised so many pigs, he should be an experienced one. And there is no land at home, and there is no one to worry about, so it is okay to live there. ”

After saying a few more words, Chen Jixing hurriedly walked to Chen Jitang's house.

The village chief was also very happy, and sat down to continue drinking tea. He just did a favor, not only repaid the favor, but also got a pig promised by Chen Jixing, there is nothing better than this.

Chen Jixing was also happy, after all, the person was recommended by the village chief, and he agreed to raise pigs. It's worth giving up a pig.

Chen Jitang was napping at home, to be honest, since he knew the news, he hadn't thought about it. It's just that he always feels that the people in the village don't look down on him. In addition, the previous Yaya Township Chef recruited people, all of whom were related to the family, so he did not dare to go.

With such good conditions, there must be a lot of people who want to come and apply for jobs. Just like him, it's better not to slap him in the face.

Therefore, when he heard someone knocking on the door, Chen Jitang was a little surprised. How long has it been since no one came to his house?

When he opened the door, he saw that it was Chen Jixing, and he wondered in his heart, what is he doing here?

I wanted to think about it, but I still welcomed Chen Jixing in.

As soon as he entered the yard, Chen Jixing smelled the unbearable smell of urine and pig feces, and saw chicken and duck feces everywhere. I don't know that this old boy hasn't cleaned up for hundreds of years.

There is really a need for a woman in this house, looking at Chen Jitang's cuffs like rags, Chen Jixing thought in his heart.

It's just that what he said was: "Brother, how are you doing lately?" I'm here today because I want to ask you something. I think you also know, is it the matter of feeding the pigs, are you willing to do it? ”

"Yes, of course I do." Chen Jitang felt like he had been hit by a pie falling from the world.

As long as you take this job, plus these chickens, ducks and pigs fed at home, you can save 20 taels of silver a year. After two years, there is absolutely no problem in building a new house and marrying a daughter-in-law.

"Just, why me?" He's still fairly sober.

Chen Jixing said: "This time, you have to thank the village chief, it was he who told me that you are very suitable." I thought, no, that's why I came to you. Well, that's it, I'm going to turn back on the others. ”

Chen Jixing also learned badly, obviously no one signed up, but he said that he wanted to reject other people's words, as if there were many people who wanted to do this.

The two chatted for a while, and then they dispersed.

As soon as Chen Jixing left, Chen Jitang was at a loss for joy, and he didn't know how to describe his happiness.

After thinking about it for a long time, Fang yelled at the sky a few times, and scared the chickens and ducks in the yard to scurry. I don't know what's wrong with this master today, whether he's crazy.

Some smart chickens and ducks even ran away at once, as if they had a premonition.
