After drinking a bowl of porridge, Boss Zheng felt more comfortable.

Others also served porridge and praised it again and again.

Boss Zheng gave Li Dabao a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Little owner, your cake is delicious, is it a pig in it?" ”

Li Dabao nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, don't look at it as a pig in the water, but it is made with a lot of spices, and it tastes fragrant." ”

"Pigs in the water, they can be made delicious, it's not simple, I haven't eaten it in Baisha Town." Boss Zheng is tentative.

"Of course, this is Li's secret recipe. However, when someone from our village goes to the town and opens a shop, you will be able to buy it then. Li Dabao replied that the village chief's grandfather bought a recipe, and when the autumn harvest is over and the house is built, it is estimated that he will go to the town to open a braised meat shop.

Boss Zheng was envious, "When the time comes, I must go to the show." ”

Even if it tastes good with spices, it's not too expensive.

If it is too expensive, the customer would rather sell the meat than buy the pig to go into the water.

As soon as they had finished eating, Liu Pan'er arrived again with the ox cart.

Boss Zheng was about to carry the ears of rice in the basket with a flat pole and send them down, but was stopped by Liu Pan'er, "Brother Zheng, you just eat, you can't do heavy work immediately, it's not good for your health." If you are not idle, squat down or sit down on the rice and cut off the ears of rice that we harvested yesterday. ”

"Thank you for your kindness." Boss Zheng didn't refuse, just finished eating, he really didn't want to move, and he still had a little support.

The proprietor is so kind to prepare such delicious food and let them do light work. In Mr. Zheng's family, his father died early, and his mother was raised by three brothers with hard work. He was the eldest son, and the eldest brother was like a father, and he came out to work for a period of time almost every year. When his younger brother grew up, he took his two younger brothers to work part-time with the villagers to subsidize the family.

Relying on the little output at home, I can only eat enough, but I can't save a few dollars.

I must work hard, maybe this family will recruit people next year, so I don't have to look around for work.

The thoughts of these people are actually in Liu Paner's mind. The harvest date in the village's fields is about the same as that of her family, and there is no one to work in the village.

Other villages are different, there are fixed people to work, and she knows the roots, and she doesn't have to go to the town to find it every time she has a job.

But Liu Paner didn't say it now, she was observing.

She was willing to pay a lot of money, good food, and of course she wanted to exchange it for the hard work of her hired workers.

If not, it's a failure of her as a manager.

These eight people are all veterans of work, plus Li Dabao and Liu Paner, as well as the Liu family, who rushed over after being busy, it took more than an hour to cut all the ears of rice from the two acres of land harvested yesterday.

There is great strength in numbers, and there is a lot of work.

Boss Zheng led people to start carrying the rice ears of the bamboo basket down, and only twelve baskets could be placed on the ox cart at a time, and the rest could only be pulled later.

Liu Paner drove the ox cart and let Li Dabao in the field, after all, the Liu family was also there, so as to avoid gossip from the villagers.

After six more round-trips, all the existing harvested ears of rice were finally transported to the home.

Li Fang, Li Li and Li Rong, wearing hats to shade the sun, were holding a rake and plough to turn over the exposed rice ears on the ground.

If it doesn't fall off automatically, hit it with a stick a few more times, and you can come down.

Liu Paner cooked at noon, and this morning, there were a lot of yellow eels in a basket at home. At noon today, I will eat stir-fried yellow eel, plus a cold salad with beans and green vegetable and egg drop soup.

One meat, one vegetable and one soup, simple and delicious.

In Liu Paner's eyes, this is a simple meal, but in the eyes of Zheng Boss and others, the landlords in their village do not necessarily eat meat twice a day.

After preparing the meal, Liu Paner sent it directly to the bamboo shed and let Li Fang watch it here. She drove the ox cart and the people in the field came down to eat.

Li Dabao saw his mother at the bottom of the terraced fields, and immediately said to Zheng Lao Da and others: "Each person carries a basket of rice ears down, just go back to eat." ”

Boss Zheng smiled, "Little owner, in fact, we can eat in the field, and after eating, we can work." ”

Li Dabao waved his hand, "No, my mother said, lunch and rest at noon will take a total of one hour." Don't delay, finish your meal early, and you can sleep for a while. After all, I woke up early in the morning, and I must be sleepy now. ”

Boss Zheng was stunned, he was indeed very tired at this time, but he was not too hungry, because he ate well in the morning. After working so many short-term and long-term jobs, I have never been able to rest for an hour at noon.

Some people let them work when they can't wait to eat.

Boss Zheng saw that there was a flat burden, and he could pick two baskets at a time, and everyone would get down twelve baskets together.

Liu Pan'er saw that Boss Zheng picked up two baskets at a time, which could reduce the number of trips running up and down, after all, one basket of rice ears was thirty or forty catties, and two baskets were seventy or eighty catties, which was not too heavy.

Liu Paner took Liu's ox cart home, and Li Dabao took Boss Zheng to the bamboo shed.

There are already three pots on the small table, a pot of stir-fried yellow eel, a pot of cold beans, a pot of green vegetable and egg drop soup, and a bucket of rice on the side.

Boss Zheng swallowed his saliva, he thought he had eaten well at noon, but he didn't expect to eat better at lunch.

Li Dabao beckoned everyone to eat, "Uncle Zheng, you hurry up and eat." After eating, you can rest and enjoy the cool here, there is a thatched house over there, the thatched house on the east side is for men, and the west side is for women, don't go wrong. An hour later, I will come and call you down with you. ”

"Okay, little boss, that's great." Boss Zheng replied with a smile, courteous.

After Li Dabao finished explaining, he followed his sister Li Fang home for dinner.

Looking at the back of them leaving, Zheng Laosan held the rice bowl and said to the eldest brother while eating: "Eldest brother, this family is so good, it would be great if I could always come to work here in the future." ”

Boss Zheng also nodded, "Then let's work hard, I also saw that there are other things planted in this village, you can be cheap, take it if you think it's new." This village is not simple, and there are even officials patrolling. Let's work hard and talk less. ”

Several people followed Boss Zheng out to work, although they were curious, they were more convinced of Boss Zheng and didn't dare to come nonsense.

The common people have a natural fear of officials and do not dare to offend.

After eating, Boss Zheng also asked his two younger brothers to wash the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the basket. Those who take turns to go to the toilet and don't go to the toilet clean the door of the bamboo shed and arrange the bedding in the bamboo shed.

It's nice to have a place like this.

I got up before dawn in the morning, and now I am indeed sleepy and tired, and I have eaten and drunk enough, and I lie on the futon, and I will fall asleep in a short time.

When the villagers learned that Liu Paner's family hired people to do the work, they expressed their understanding, but when they saw eight hired workers sleeping in the bamboo shed, they immediately talked about it.

"The family of the Yuan Qing family is full of women and children, and these men are deliberately lazy and bully."

"That is, whose hired workers eat and drink well and can still sleep?"

"Aunt Cuihua, you have a good relationship with the Yuanqing family, hurry up and talk to her."
