Find a helper
"Sister-in-law, you quickly put away the money, and then soak the glutinous rice, and we will make zongzi in the afternoon." Bian Lili looked at the time and said to Lu Xueyu
When Lu Xueyu heard Bian Lili's words, she didn't reach out to take the money, but said to Bian Lili: "Lili, I'll put the money on you first, and then you can give me the money after the Dragon Boat Festival." ”
"Okay, then I'll take the money first, sister-in-law, you soaked all the glutinous rice I brought, and in the afternoon, we asked someone to help us wrap zongzi, otherwise we won't be able to wrap 800 zongzi by the two of us,"
"Okay, but who do you want to ask to help us make zongzi?"
"Of course, I invited Aunt Yueying, not only do I plan to ask Aunt Yueying to help us make zongzi, but I also plan to ask Sister Chunxiang and Sister Xia Xiang to help pick zongzi leaves, otherwise I won't be able to pick them alone."
"Okay, I'll go to Yueying after soaking the glutinous rice, but we need to think of a better reason for Yueying to come to our house, so that no one will know that our family makes zongzi and sells them, and it will definitely be reported."
Bian Lili nodded in agreement after hearing Lu Xueyu's words, and then she thought about it for a while, and came up with a good reason.
So she said to Lu Xueyu: "Sister-in-law, you can say that you have not been very well in the past two days, and you want Aunt Yueying to accompany you, and then you can give Aunt Yueying some food, I think Aunt Yueying's family must have no opinion." ”
"Okay, just do as you say, but how much food should we give?"
"One pound a day, no more."
"Okay, I think Yueying must be willing, by the way, how much salary is appropriate for us a day?"
"One dollar a day."
"What about Haruka and Natsuka?"
"Five cents a day."
"Could it be too much?"
Bian Lili shook his head after hearing Lu Xueyu's words, and then spoke: "If it is someone else, it will definitely be too much, but it will not be for Sister Chunxiang and Sister Xia Xiang."
Because the two of them work very neatly, one person can do the work of two people, so they don't give much. ”
"Okay, then I'll count according to what you said, I'll go to soak glutinous rice now, and then I'll go to Yueying's house to find her."
Bian Lili nodded after hearing Lu Xueyu's words, and then she said to Lu Xueyu: "Sister-in-law, I went to the back mountain to pick zongzi leaves, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be enough zongzi leaves in the afternoon." ”
"Let your uncle go with you."
"No need, I'll just go alone."
"I know you can go alone, but the palm leaves that bind the zongzi at home are gone, and I want your uncle to chop some of them."
"Okay, then I'll go with my uncle." After Bian Lili finished speaking, he walked towards the courtyard.
Then he said to Kang Aiguo, who was weaving a basket in the yard: "Uncle, sister-in-law asked you to go to the back mountain with me to cut palm leaves." ”
"Have you run out of palm leaves at home?"
"My sister-in-law said it was gone."
"Then you wait for me, and I'll get a firewood knife for a pound."
"Okay."
More than ten minutes later, Bian Lili and Kang Aiguo came to the back mountain, because the dumpling leaves and palm trees were not in the same place, Bian Lili said to Kang Aiguo: "Uncle, we work separately, and we will meet here in an hour." ”
"Okay."
A few minutes was enough for Bian Lili to come to the place where she picked the dumpling leaves, and she saw that the palm leaves here were almost picked by her, so she decided to pick them in a different place tomorrow.
After all, wool can't just catch one place, otherwise that place will be completely bald, and there will be no wool in the future.
