Chapter 116: Flower Picking
As they expected, on the second day of the implementation of farming, Qiao Jiawang came over with a bunch of people to make trouble, and Yu Dashan also came, and the posture seemed to be that he would not give up until all these cultivated fields were destroyed.
This is what Ye Qingtang wanted to see, he looked for someone to guard the cultivated land with Shangguan Youyu early, and those people were arrested and put in prison as soon as they started to make trouble.
Everything happened very quickly, and even before the villagers who were farming could react, Ye Qingtang had already done everything.
"Don't delay your work because of these chores. After all, the remuneration you get is related to whether you work well or not, so that everyone can be fed, don't be distracted by these things! β
Ye Qingtang saw that everyone was frozen in place, and reminded him helplessly. They waited until they had resumed farming before leaving the fields.
There are only a few thorns in the village. Yu Dashan and Qiao Jiawang were the ones who took the lead. But they haven't made trouble now, and even if others are dissatisfied, I'm afraid they don't have the courage to make trouble again.
Since no one will come to make trouble, then Ye Qingtang has nothing to worry about, and naturally there is no need to waste time guarding them at the edge of the field.
The rouge gouache made from picking flowers a few days ago has long been looted. Qiyun Chu in the capital has been urging her to send more goods to Beijing.
Ye Qingtang is at his busiest time at the moment, and he definitely doesn't plan to waste time in the field. There were many women and children in the village who had no work, so she hired a lot of people to help her pick flowers.
However, in the morning, dozens of baskets of flowers were neatly placed at the door of Ye Qingtang's house.
Seeing that those flowers had already been washed cleanly, the complete flowers were placed together, and the broken petals were placed on the other side, Ye Qingtang's eyes were red with emotion.
[Low labor, can actually get such good results, Ye Qingtang should be happy at the moment, right? ] γ
[It's not so much that I'm happy, but I'm moved. She shouldn't have thought that the money she gave was not much, and it was not even as good as the money for Zhang Xiuniang and Qiao Xie Yi to make an embroidery, and they could actually do it to this extent. γ
"Sima's daughter-in-law, you're back, do you think it's feasible for us to do this? We've cleaned it specifically, can you see if it's clean? β
When Aunt Li saw that Ye Qingtang was back, she immediately walked in front of her and opened her mouth in a flattering manner.
Seeing this, Ye Qingtang immediately nodded with a smile and said softly: "Everyone has done so well, it seems that I can't give everyone a salary increase today." β
Ye Qingtang didn't check whether the petals were clean at all, after all, if she wanted to make rouge gouache, she would definitely have to clean it again.
And even if Ye Qingtang doesn't look at it, he knows that they finally found an easy job that pays a lot of money, and of course there will be no moments of relaxation.
"Really? Sima's daughter-in-law, do you really want to give us a wage increase? Aunt Li didn't expect that Ye Qingtang was not only very satisfied with their work, but also planned to give them a wage increase, and immediately looked at her ecstatically.
"This is everyone's salary today, a little more than what was originally said, everyone collects it." Ye Qingtang didn't say much nonsense, but just handed them the salary with a smile.
Looking at the heavy silver in their hands, several villagers were simply overjoyed, and they had been thanking Ye Qingtang all the time.
γDing - Taoyuan Village Villagers' Happiness Index +50γ
[Happiness index that can be exchanged for blind box rewards at a distance of 350/1000]
Because of farming, the happiness index of the villagers in Taoyuan Village has increased a lot. However, at that time, Ye Qingtang was busy dealing with the things at hand, and he didn't have time to care about how much happiness the index was.
Now I suddenly see such a high happiness index, I can't believe it. However, in just half a month, the happiness index has increased by 250.
Although it sounds a little unpleasant, Ye Qingtang is very happy with such a high happiness index. As she got closer to the apex of the reward and the target value, how could she not be happy.
[They're really happy!] γ
[Can you not be happy?] They worked hard all morning for their wages, and all of a sudden they got wages that they might not have been able to get in the past six months, and everyone was happy to change them. γ
[Ding - Audience Opinion +20]
[430/500 away from the target value of the reward]
"Where did you go with your basket on your back? Didn't I say that the flower picking would be left to the villagers? You're not going to go to the mountains to pick flowers, are you? β
Ye Qingtang was happy, and was just about to move the petals into the house, when he looked up, he saw Sima Changying coming back from outside with a basket on his back.
The man was tired and out of breath, Ye Qingtang immediately walked to Sima Changying's side, helped him remove the basket and asked puzzledly.
"Even if you leave the matter to them and pay them accordingly, they will definitely not be unconcerned. But if you look at these flowers, is there something missing? β
Sima Changying shook his head with a smile, and he uncovered the cloth covering the back basket, revealing the thousand sun red and some brightly colored flowers in the back basket. These flowers bloom the most brightly and are red in color.
This red color is best for making lipstick and eyeshadow. However, the growing conditions are a bit harsh, and if you want to pick it, you have to go to the deepest part of the mountain.
The women invited by Ye Qingtang were all women from the village, and although some of them also went to the fields to farm, their strength and ability were not much smaller than those of their own men.
But on this mountain, they didn't dare to go.
Knowing that Ye Qingtang wanted this, Sima Changying prepared his things early and went up the mountain, and looked for a long time before going home at this time.
"Some of these things are long, the roads are rough and difficult to pick. Some of them grow deep in the jungle, which is full of dangers. If you didn't need it, maybe I wouldn't want to go. β
Sima Changying poured out the flower with a smile and began to clean the petals with great skill. Seeing that Ye Qingtang also squatted down and planned to come down with him, he directly slapped her hand away.
"Isn't today a day of rest? In the afternoon, the child will go home, you go and prepare, as for these things, I will do it. β
"That's right! Then I'll hurry up and prepare some things and make more pastries for Chengjin! Being reminded like this, Ye Qingtang remembered this incident.
Thinking that Sima Chengjin would go home tonight, Ye Qingtang directly put down the work in his hand and returned to the house to start working.
Recently, Ye Qingtang has made a lot of food, Sima Chengjin can't eat anything in the school, and finally came back, she must let her son eat enough.
"It's really hairy, forget this and forget that." Seeing this, Sima Changying shook his head helplessly.
