The summer in the north is short, and most people will not grow other crops after harvesting wheat, and at most they will plant cabbage, winter radish and other vegetables sporadically.

Therefore, there is more leisure labor.

With the help of the villagers, their new home is progressing very fast, the workshop has already been built, and the ten big tiled houses are about to find a good life and go to the beam.

Luo Xiaoqiao discussed with his grandfather: "Grandpa, you see, now the whole village is working for our family, but every household has chores, can't be single-minded, and the efficiency is a little slow. ”

"Why not? Two days ago, someone chatted with me, saying that they envied the mountains," said Grandpa Luo.

"They work at home, one will be busy with this, the other will be busy with that, and they don't have time to spare. If you can really concentrate together, you can ship it after you finish it, and you can kill multiple birds with one stone, and you will be happy to designate it. ”

"Then grandpa, you will look for Brother Zhiyong of Uncle Dashan's family, Luo Dazhu and Luo Erzhu of the village chief's grandfather's family, and then count Uncle Fugui, as well as Aunt Huang and their family."

Luo Xiaoqiao picked out about 20 households scattered, and they all performed well during this time.

"What's the salary?" Grandpa Luo asked.

"Like Uncle Dashan, twenty-five copper plates are guaranteed a day, as long as you do enough to guarantee the base, the extra money will be counted."

"Okay" Grandpa Luo went happily.

After half a ring, Grandpa Luo came in from outside the door, followed by several people behind him: "Xiao Qiao, Zhiyong, they were found by me." ”

The aunts and men who came were all happy, and they saw the changes in Luo Dashan's family.

Although OEM also gives the villagers a way to make money, it requires the whole family to go out, there are only a few tools, and the time is not allowed, and it is not much to earn when it is shared.

What's more, there is a guarantee for this, and the palms of the people who come are sweating with excitement.

"A few uncles and aunts sat down and said, sat down and said." Luo Xiaoqiao stood up and greeted them, "Grandpa has told you, because our parts assembly involves a secret recipe, so we have to keep it a secret." ”

"Okay." Luo Dazhu is worthy of being the eldest son of the village chief, he has seen a wide range of things, and he is very sensible, so he responded readily the first one, "Xiao Qiao, you just bring an agreement here, and we will all sign it."

"Xiao Qiao, we are all folks in the township, we know the severity." Luo Zhiyong also hurriedly followed suit.

"Well, I naturally believe in the behavior of several uncles and aunts, otherwise I wouldn't have come to you." Luo Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "But things are done in front, and the latter is not easy to speak." ”

Everyone nodded, Luo Xiaoqiao took out the agreement that he asked the shopkeeper Hu to draft, and several people happily pressed their handprints.

The workshop has been prepared for a long time, and everyone's position is also very particular, and the streamlined operation and tools are within reach, and the efficiency has been improved a lot.

When the people in the village heard that Luo Dazhu had come to Luo's house to help, they were extremely envious.

"Twenty-five copper plates a day, it's just a guarantee, but it's enough."

"If you do more, there will be more."

"Dashan took a tael of silver last month"

……。

The weather in summer was very hot, but several people were in full swing in the workshop, looking at the various utensils they had assembled by themselves, and they became more and more determined to follow the Luo family.

Luo Xiaoqiao has more than 100 acres of wasteland, excluding those who build workshops and houses, there are also more than 90 acres.

There were a lot of weeds and shrubs growing in these fields, and in ancient times, the labor force was low, and no one had the will to open up a wasteland, let alone open it, and it may not be able to grow mature land. That's why it's been left there.

Luo Xiaoqiao went to take a look, the dry pond land belonged to sandy land.

The others, in fact, are also fertile, the soil is dark, but the shrubs grow a little too much, and it is very difficult to grow crops.

Luo Xiaoqiao has already sent his younger brother to a private school in the county to learn calligraphy. Sometimes I went to talk to Mr. Teach, and I had some understanding of Da Chu's situation.

She gave a rough idea of what she could use now.

The staple food of this era was cereals, namely rice, millet, soybean, millet, wheat, and hemp, which were roughly barley, wheat, rice, beans, and flax. In fact, there are many types of vegetables, such as green onions, ginger, garlic, cabbage, and radish.

Even melons and fruits are available, but they look very different.

Luo Xiaoqiao once saw his husband eating "thin melon", and he said that this name means to take water and have more meat. It's actually a watermelon, but it looks very much like a tomato, and there are many holes in it, and the taste is very average.

But Luo Xiaoqiao still asked him for some seeds.

As the old saying goes, after the mango is planted, the melons are planted and the beans are planted. It is said that the most suitable time for planting is the right time. There is also a proverb that fifteen beans are planted in August, three autumns late.

It's August, which means it's past the best soybean planting season.

But Luo Xiaoqiao weighed it, soybeans are extremely vigorous, and they are one of the main food crops in the north, even if the harvest is not good, the root system can improve the soil. So she finally decided to plant it.

In addition to soybeans, you should also plant some autumn cucumbers, Chinese cabbage and other vegetables and fruits. This is also an excellent time to plant watermelons.

But even if she wanted to plant, she had to clean up the wasteland, and there was obviously not enough manpower.

Most of the people in the village still work for their families, and they can't stop. Therefore, we have to find another way to open up the wasteland.

"Xiao Qiao, your family wants such a large piece of wasteland, when will it be finished", Aunt Huang limped over and sighed.

"I'm afraid it won't work this year, so let's open as much as we can," Luo Xiaoqiao said.

"Auntie, you said, I want to give out twenty copper plates a day to find someone to open up the wasteland, can it be done?"

"Okay, what's not to do, if you really want to come out, my whole family will come," Aunt Huang said neatly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xiaoqiao frowned: "That's not possible, I'm still waiting for you to do the OEM, don't dare to delay time." ”

Grandpa Luo looked at this wasteland, and he was also a little panicked, the money was spent, and he couldn't plant the land, he, an old farmer, was a little unacceptable.

"Then what to do, I'm in a hurry for you", the village chief Luo Jinrong also came over with a big cigarette pouch.

"There are a lot of people looking for work in the bazaar at this time", Luo Zhiping followed.

Luo Xiaoqiao nodded: "Brother Zhiping, see if you can trouble you to recruit people to work in the bazaar for us, a strong laborer has twenty copper plates a day."

"What's that, I'll go tomorrow, gather a lot of people who know it, and pick some hard-working and capable ones."

Luo Zhiping said as he glanced at Luo Xiaoni, seeing that she didn't react, and touched his head in a daze.

"Other people in the village are willing to do it, the elderly and children can do it, not by the day, by the acres of land, a hundred copper plates per acre"

"That dare is good", Luo Jin Rongle is happy, this season, there is nothing big to do after harvesting wheat, although it is tired of clearing the wasteland, but the money given is still a lot, and the villagers are willing.

"I'm going to shout and shout." After saying that, he walked away with his mouth shut, leaving a string of dry smoke in the air.
