Chapter 67

"Well, brothers, grab the tools and set off with me." Wang Da took people away, and the speed was very high.

With the addition of Jinhua, there were still ten women left in the same place, Ye Lan asked two people to go to cut pigweed with Jinhua, and the remaining seven people went into the yard and began to clean up the kitchen and prepare everyone's lunch.

After arranging everyone, Ye Lan went back to the room and began to make the staff sheet that was about to be used, and it didn't take long to hear someone call her name again.

Put down the things and go out, this time they came, it was two groups of people, Juxian Lou sent water, and the cloth shop sent linen, they met when they went out of the city gate, and found that the destination was the same place, so they came together.

"Can you help me carry the sackcloth into the house?" A hundred horses of hemp cloth, plus the fabric is a thick one, this piece of cloth is much heavier than others.

"No problem."

Juxian Lou came to deliver the water, it was two handymen in the kitchen, Ye Lan and they knew each other, so they were not so polite, "Please help me lift the water into it and put it next to the pigsty." ”

"Yes, Miss Joe." Before I came, the water had been treated, and the soup was poured out, and although there were only two large buckets of water, there were mostly vegetables, rice, bones and other things in it.

The two handymen carefully helped Ye Lan carry the water in, and seeing that the two clerks in the cloth shop had not finished moving, they thought that when they went back, two more people would be more lively, so they took the initiative to help.

The Li family led the seven women to be busy in the yard, and when they saw Ye Lan buy so much cloth back, they all felt curious, and asked Ye Lan what she was doing with so much cloth.

"You'll know very much, and I can't explain it to you now, but when I get it right, you'll understand." Ye Lan told everyone like this.

Although Ye Lan usually doesn't have much to talk to everyone, when she asks them to work, she will say thank you for the trouble and so on, and respect everyone to the greatest extent, but she is the boss after all, like the Li family, they asked Ye Lan what this cloth was for, Ye Lan didn't say it, they were all adults, and they still had a little bit of eyesight, so after Ye Lan finished speaking, even if everyone didn't understand what these cloths were going to do, no one asked again.

The four of them moved together, and the hundred pieces of cloth were all moved and put in the utility room, Ye Lan thanked the four of them and asked everyone to drink water.

"Thank you for your hard work."

All four of them were a little flattered, "Where, it should be." ”

"Miss Qiao, then we'll go back first, and the water will be sent at about this time every day in the future, if there is no accident, we will send it." After drinking the water, the two handymen of Juxian Building took the lead in saying goodbye.

As soon as the two employees of the cloth shop saw the people of Juxianlou say goodbye, they also hurriedly followed suit, Ye Lan did not keep them, politely sent everyone away, and then continued to go back to the room to do their own business.

Before noon, Zhang Xiucai's fifty-year-old contract was copied, and Lan Jian sent it over, Ye Lan roughly checked it, except for the dozen or so handwriting on the top that was slightly green, the rest were all drawn in block letters, very beautiful, and the following should be Zhang Xiucai's handwriting, and the slightly green handwriting above was not from the hand of one person, it should be written by Lan Jian and some other children.

"Okay, I'll take it, Lan Jian, you go back and tell Mr., just say I thank him."

"Okay, I'll say, I'll go back to my sister first."

"Yes." Ye Lan nodded, watching Lan Jian run away.

With Zhang Xiucai's fifty contracts, it was enough, Ye Lan returned to the room and looked at Qiao Zi, who was still writing in a hurry, "Mother, you copy it slowly, Xiucai just sent fifty contracts, which is enough." ”

"Then is it still useful for me to copy these well?" Hearing this, Qiao Zi pointed to the fact that he had already copied more than twenty copies.

"Of course it works, you have to believe that one day, we will have a long work, and if we can't use it for the time being, we will put it away first, and we will always use it later."

"Then I'll copy it slowly, it's okay anyway, it's time to practice calligraphy." When Qiao Zi heard this, he re-took the pen and copied it.

"Remember to take a break every once in a while, don't be in a hurry, you copy slowly, don't end up with a sore hand and a sore neck." Ye Lan felt sorry for her mother.

"Mother knows." Her daughter's words warmed Qiao Zi's heart.

Before lunch, Li Da came back with twenty people, and brought back the bamboo and big trees that Ye Lan wanted, the number was only a lot more, on the other side, Wang Da also took everyone to plow all the remaining land, and saw that the Li family was ready for lunch, Ye Lan asked Wang Da to go to the field to call everyone back to prepare for lunch, and then work after lunch.

Very, everyone came back, consciously queuing up to eat, Ye Lan didn't have so many stools and tables for everyone to eat at home, fortunately, everyone didn't care so much about these people, anyway, the meals were in the bowl, and after the fight, they all ran outside the yard, found a shady place to sit down, and ate very happily.

Today's dishes are in addition to fried meat with Chinese cabbage, and everyone is curious about Mao Xuewang, stir-fried chicken heart and chicken liver, stir-fried pork intestines, although the other three dishes in the big basin look very good, but because of the things inside, everyone subconsciously doesn't want to eat these, everyone in front of the row is picking up Chinese cabbage fried meat, and when the Chinese cabbage fried meat is gone, I have to choose one of them before I hit the dish, because Ye Lan has always provided good food, so I hit Mao Xuewang, stir-fried offal, stir-fried pig intestines, although I felt a little uncomfortable, but I didn't say much, I just found a place to sit down, envied and didn't eat very fragrant, and then gritted my teeth and ate a bite of my own bowl of food, I was mentally prepared to be very difficult to eat, who knew that there was no fishy smell as I imagined.

Hey? What's going on?

Many people who hit the vegetables showed surprised expressions after eating the first bite, and then put a chopstick dish into their mouths, taste it carefully, it is not an illusion, there is really no fishy smell made by everyone themselves, the fragrance of green peppers and the unique taste of the offal, it is very delicious.

"Brother, isn't it hard to eat, why don't I share a little bit with you?" When someone saw the person sitting next to him, he couldn't help but sympathize and offered to share.

"No, this is delicious." glanced at his co-worker, smiled and ate.

"Delicious? Give me a taste. The worker took a chopstick and tasted it in surprise, "Well, it tastes really good, I read it right, this is offal, and this is pig intestines, my family has eaten this before, but it is unpalatable, I would rather be hungry than eat, why is this so delicious?" ”

The same confusion also happened to most people, and everyone wondered how it was done, and why there was no fishy smell and stink.

"Today, Mao Xuewang, stir-fried chicken liver and chicken heart, and stir-fried pork intestines are all delicious?" After the Li family finished cooking, he and a few busy women were eating with bowls, and came out to see everyone talking, and asked with a smile.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, the daughter-in-law of the Li family, let's make it, let's make it so delicious?"

"Hehe, this is the practice, but our little boss taught, look at the way you hit the dish before, it seems to be dripping with for you, see no, my bowl is full of vegetables, if it is really unpalatable, will the little boss still give you food, she also eats this herself, you ah, I don't know the blessing in life."

"We're sorry we misunderstood the little boss." Wang's big bowl is also a dish, and it is also extremely awkward before tasting the taste, now listening to Li's words, I suddenly feel very sorry for Ye Lan, thinking about Ye Lan has always been very polite to everyone, so the boss is difficult to find outside, but because they didn't taste the taste, they actually began to question Ye Lanlai, these men are relatively simple people, embarrassed, extremely guilty, one by one stuffy eating, don't even say anything, all feel sorry for Ye Lan.

Before the meal, Ye Lan asked Jinhua and Lan to see together, and served some dishes to Zhang Xiucai's mother and son, and when the two of them got there, they had to talk to Zhang Xiucai's mother and son, so they haven't come back yet, and fortunately they haven't come back, otherwise Jinhua's temper will definitely scold people.

When the two mothers and sons came back, this matter had passed, everyone ate silently, she said hello to everyone, although she felt that the response was not enthusiastic enough, but she didn't think much about it, she went into the courtyard and served a meal with Lan Jian, and then went into the room to eat with Qiao Zi's mother and daughter.

And Qiao Zi and Ye Lan were in the room at the beginning, naturally they didn't know what was going on outside, after eating, Ye Lan wiped her mouth and said to Jin Hua,

"Aunt Jinhua, after you have eaten for a while, help me carry the table to the courtyard, and while everyone is resting for a while after eating, I will sign the contract of the long-term workers."

"Okay, Ye Lan, don't forget me, I want to sign too." Jin Hua nodded repeatedly.

In the eyes of others, long-term workers are equal to servants, but in Ye Lan's eyes, long-term workers are just modern employees, Jinhua wants to do things for herself, and it is right to sign a contract with herself, so she didn't say that she didn't need to sign a contract because Jinhua was very familiar with herself, but nodded very coolly,

"Okay."

In less than two minutes, Jin Hua finished eating the rice in her bowl, Qiao Zi also put down the bowl, and Lan saw that there was a little left in the bowl, Jin Hua pushed her son,

"Lan Jian, you go to the side to eat, my mother wants this table."

"Okay." Ranmi took the bowl and got off the table.

Jin Hua took the empty bowl and chopsticks back to the kitchen, and then wiped the table clean, Qiao Zi stood up and said that she wanted to carry the table with Jin Hua, and the Jin Hua girl shook her head domineeringly,

"It's just a table, I can move it myself, Sister Qiao, you stand farther away, I'll come by myself."

Seeing that Jinhua easily moved the table, Ye Lan and Qiao Zi each had a stool behind Jinhua, and the table was set up in a clean and open space in Jinhua's yard, and Ye Lan and Qiao Zi put the two stools on the top and bottom respectively.

"Ye Lan, do you want me to call them?"

"Well, you go and see if they have finished eating, and when they are done, let the long-term workers come in and say that I will sign a contract with them."

"Okay." Jin Hua walked out of the yard, the big guys had already finished eating, and the men were eating at a fast pace, and they were all sitting in place to rest, because they felt a little sorry for Ye Lan before the dishes, so today was not as lively as usual, and there were few people chatting.

"Why is it so quiet today?" Jin Hua looked at everyone inexplicably, and when she saw that everyone had looked over, she said, "Everyone has finished eating, the little boss said that she is willing to do long-term work for her, go into the yard, and she will sign a contract with everyone." ”

"I do."

……

After listening to Jinhua's words, the men stood up one by one, picked up their bowls and walked to the courtyard, Ye Lan had already entered the room and took out the contract and pen and ink, and sat down above the table, the men consciously put their bowls in the big basin to be cleaned, and then looked at Ye Lan one by one.

"Everyone come to me, lady first, Aunt Jinhua, Aunt Li, the two of you stand in front, and the rest of you stand behind Aunt Jinhua and Aunt Li, one next to the other." Ye Lan stood up from her seat and greeted everyone.

Hearing her instructions, everyone moved extremely fast and lined up, Ye Lan and Qiao Zi counted the number of people, adding up to just forty-nine, unwilling to become a long-term worker, they were still outside, and did not come in. "Everyone is here, let me talk about the content of the contract first, for convenience, the content of the contract is the same for everyone, and the salary is the same, but I said before that every year during the New Year, I will give a certain reward according to everyone's usual work performance, the so-called reward is punished, if there is a lazy person who wants to mix salary, even if he signs a contract with me, if your performance is too bad, I can't blame me for not being emotional, then I will deduct your salary, if the situation is serious, I will be fired directly, okay, I will read the contract now, Party A, Qiao Yelan, Party Band your name ......"

I read the contract again, in order to give everyone time to understand, Ye Lan read it slowly, and looked at everyone after reading it, "That's all for the content of the contract, do you have any questions?" ”

"Nope." Ye Lan's contract is much fairer than other deeds of sale, and everyone is very aware of current affairs and shakes their heads.

"Okay, now I will start signing the contract, I won't write my name, I have to tell me in advance, Aunt Jinhua, Aunt Li, please take a seat."

The first Jin Hua and Li sat on the bench at the same time, Ye Lan handed out two contract letters, pointed out the location of Party B, "Write your name, then sign here, write your name again, and then press a handprint, and then it's fine." ”

Jin Hua wrote with a pen, although Li had never studied, but his name was able to recognize and write, but it was a little ugly, and it was written according to Ye Lan's requirements, and he pressed his handprint, Ye Lan took it and practiced it.

"Li Jinhua, Li Qingqing?"

"Yes." The two nodded.

It turns out that Li's boudoir's name is Qingqing, which is quite good.

Ye Lan smiled at the two, "It's okay, let's go." ”

"Ugh." The two of them got up and gave up their place to the people behind them.

Ye Lan handed the two contracts to Qiao Zi sitting next to her, and asked Qiao Zi to add the date behind her, with Jinhua and Li's demonstration, everyone signed a contract, although most people don't know any words, they can write their names, and a few can't write, Ye Lan will write their names on their behalf, as long as they press the last handprint.

Forty-nine people, in only two quarters of an hour, the contract was completed.

Let Qiao Zi take the forty-nine contracts back to the room and put them away, Ye Lan began to arrange the afternoon work, Wang Da took thirty people to take charge of planting, and moved all the grain in the grocery house out, and Li Da was responsible for the rest of the people, and the bamboo and big trees cut back from the mountain were disposed of according to their own requirements.

The tools are not enough, everyone contributes the tools at home for free, Wang Da took people to plant, Li Da took people to deal with it in the yard, dozens of people felt quite hot, Ye Lan quietly observed, and found that a group of people who signed a contract with themselves to become long-term workers were invisibly harder than short-term workers.

Wang Da took thirty people to plant seeds, and the seeds were finished in less than half an hour, Ye Lan went to the field to check it, and it was not bad.

"Uncle Wang, you take fifteen people, lend out the toilets in the villagers' homes, send two people to pick up two loads of dung, ten people go to the river to fetch water, and the rest come with empty buckets."

"Okay, come fifteen people with me." As soon as Wang Da waved his hand, everyone followed, seeing that the number of people was enough, the rest looked at Ye Lan.

"The rest of you, go to my house, bring a hoe, a shovel, and a dustpan, and I'll wait for you here."

"Okay." When the remaining fifteen people heard this, they strode back to get the tools, and at this time, Ye Lan drew a line about fifty meters away from one hundred acres of land, and because it was not too obvious, she went to the side to find a branch to put it as a mark, and then made the mark, and the fifteen people ran back with the tools.

"Little boss, we're back."

"Well, I'll tell you what I'm going to do, I want to dig a fishpond here, about ten feet from my ground, and expand it outward, and then about two hundred and fifty feet long and wide, and I've made a mark here, and you should dig this mark first, so that you don't accidentally dig too close to my ground, can you?"
