Chapter 289: Adding People?
Old Man He thought about it for a long time in the cold wind, but he still didn't come up with a suitable reason, and finally he could only explain it with the word "enlightenment".
This is also thanks to the fact that the previous He Zao was very inconspicuous in the He family, no one took her seriously, there was no sense of existence, when the current He Zao wore it, her personality changed greatly, her tongue was sharp, she couldn't rub the slightest sand in her eyes, and the image of the whole person seemed to be alive, this change also attracted the suspicion of the He family, but after thinking about it, I can't remember what He Zao was like before!
They slowly accepted the current He Zao.
After Mr. He also concluded that it was "enlightenment", he remembered a question, the girl always has to get married, and after a girl like He Zao gets married, it will do more harm than good to the He family!
Of course, He Zao didn't know what he was thinking, so the next day they all dressed up and went to the county seat.
He Laosan went to the restaurant in advance to book a table, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant and He Sanfang were also old acquaintances, and he smiled when he saw this: "But it's rare to see my brother's family come out to shop!" ”
He Laosan laughed.
The shopkeeper is obviously also an insider, knowing that today is a happy event at Aunt He's house, but the people in He Sanfang don't go to the table, but want to come to the restaurant for dinner, this is probably a planned and purposeful naked-naked-naked slap in the face? (Harmony)
Of course, he won't mention it much, but only recommended the specialty dishes of Layue in our store: "This winter, the fish fat is thick, and the fishy smell is not heavy, but now there are a lot of spicy fish in the store, which is warm and cold!" Don't you have one at home? ”
He Laosan nodded: "In China, my youngest son is a fish lover, so I'll have one." ”
The shopkeeper smiled again: "A few days ago, a hunter in the village sent a snake more than two meters long, and half of it was eaten and put there. Giving it to readers is the most brain-clearing! ”
He Laosan thought of the half of the big snake sent by the young master of the Gu family last time, and ate it for half a month, drinking snake soup almost every day, and the taste was good, and after insisting on it for a few days, he found that the snake soup is very good for people's bodies, obviously more energetic, and the whole body is warm, Chen's body is not good, and he feels weak when he does a little work, but after drinking snake soup, he feels more energetic.
He Laosan always thought that there was a chance to catch a few more snakes to stew snake soup.
But he is not strong in hunting, and he is busy all day long, and he has no time.
This is a good opportunity.
He didn't hesitate: "Let's have a fried snake meat, and then a stewed snake soup!" ”
With a family background, he didn't ask the price at all.
After booking the banquet, the family slowly walked around.
It has entered the wax moon, and the New Year's goods are about to be bought next to each other, so when I walked all the way to the store and saw the rice, flour, oil and salt in the photo, Chen bought it and put it on the ox cart.
She originally wanted to buy some cloth to go back to make new clothes, but He Zao stopped her, there are more beautiful and high-quality ones in the county, there is no need to buy them in the town.
Chen did not object, and added a few more farming tools to his house, because the big iron pot for stir-frying at home was divided into old pots, and the smell of rust was very strong, so he bought a new iron pot.
If you buy rice and noodles at home, you have to buy some for the old house, so the ox cart is crowded.
He Zao looked at the ox cart, it was cold in the moon, and they didn't put a quilt in the town, but they also wore thick old cotton clothes to block the wind.
After calculating her own income, she opened her mouth: "Dad, our family will have a bumper harvest this year, let's buy a carriage if you don't win!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone else was stunned.
He Laosan thought about it and nodded slowly: "Zao'er is reasonable!" ”
Now with the conditions of He's Sanfang family, it is more than enough to buy a carriage, and he is not afraid of spending money at all.
However, in the eight villages within a radius of ten miles, most of the good families do not use horse-drawn carts, but still use ox carts and donkey carts.
Chen hesitated a little: "We have fewer carriages in Huaiqing Mansion, but more donkey carts, let's not be ostentatious, let's buy a donkey cart with a canopy." ”
He Zao thought about what he saw on the road, it was indeed the most ox carts, followed by riding bicycles, and the horse-drawn carriages were rare.
The carriages should also be divided into six or five, and most of the horses seen on the road are old and weak, and they are imposing. So far, the most energetic and proud horse that He Zao has seen is the horse of the Han family.
She nodded: "Medium, then donkey cart." Anyway, there is a shelter from the wind and rain, and my father will not have to work too hard to deliver goods in the future! ”
When He Chun'er heard this, her eyes flashed, and she wanted to say something but she couldn't speak.
"Eldest sister, what do you want to say?" Sibao saw it and asked.
The family looked at her, He Chun'er's cheeks were slightly red, but she still stubbornly said: "Our family is living a good life now, but we only recruit a long-term worker, and we are still in charge of our greenhouse, but our father delivers goods every day, and it is also hard, if we don't win, we will recruit two more, one to do chores, and one to deliver, but it saves our father hard work!" ”
When Sibao heard this, he also nodded in agreement: "I've been thinking about what the eldest sister said for a while, but I think that our family has just recruited a long-term worker, and if we recruit again, it will be a bit eye-catching!" ”
He Zao really didn't expect this.
She is a modern thinker, and when she is short of manpower, she habitually hires people instead of buying them.
can follow the local customs, and He Sanfang has indeed reached the point where it is time to add people.
She said: "It is necessary to hire a few long-term workers, and it is necessary to deliver goods for our father, but before the year, our family added another hundred acres of land, and now there are almost two hundred acres of fertile land, half of which are in Fucheng, and some are in the county seat, but our own village is the least, and our family has no manpower, so we have to hire someone to help us manage it!" There is also a kitchen at home, and a cook should also be added, otherwise relying on my mother and eldest sister alone will be tired every day! ”
When Chen saw that it was on him, he hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Don't let the cook do it, I'm fine at home, you don't let me worry about it more, work more, just three meals a day, why can't I afford it!" ”
He Chun'er smiled: "It's not that you won't be allowed to do it, or there is a cook to replace it." ”
He Zao continued: "Our family has added long-term workers in the future, they are all rough men, and what they are asking for is a full meal, how can you let your mother cook again, and specially invite a cook, which is also what it means." ”
There are seven people in He's Sanfang family plus Dashan, plus the newly added long-term workers, there are also more than a dozen people, and cooking is also a lot of hard work.
Chan said no more.
He Laosan saw that his mother still had a few discussions, so he stopped shopping and went to the restaurant to eat together.
The crowd ate and discussed again.
Sibao thinks that there is a cook at home, so she will also add a little girl who does rough work, so that she can run errands, and it also saves He Chun'er and He Zao from running back and forth every day.
Sibao, Qibao went to school, He Laosan delivered goods, and the chores at home were not troublesome to them, so they all pointed to the two girls.
Sibao is distressed sister and sister.
He Zao suddenly said amazingly: "When we go back, we have to buy land in the village, and I will raise a large number of ducks in the New Year." ”
As soon as the people in He Sanfang thought about it, they knew the reason.
The Songhua egg workshop is getting better and better, especially in the wax month, almost every household has to buy some to eat for the New Year, and the Songhua eggs are almost sold out.
