397 carrots and sticks

There was no dream all night, probably because Su Qingluan had a good rest this night, and got up early the next morning.

The morning fog outside had not yet lifted, and it was not even dawning.

Su Qingluan was worried that the humidity was heavy in the early morning, so that the sesame salt of dried shrimp just fried yesterday would not be fragrant after absorbing the moisture, and the damp dried shrimp was also easy to deteriorate, so he hurriedly went to the stove room in the dark.

Lighting the fire, Su Qingluan took down the dried shrimp and sesame salt and tasted it: Well, it's okay, it's not damp, it's still so crispy, so she quickly transferred the sesame salt to a small ceramic jar and stuffed it with a wooden stopper.

It was also her who kept an eye last night, until the morning fog was heavy, and in order to prevent the people inside from burning the hearth, the stove room was specially designed to have no door, ventilation on all sides, but there were windows in the pattern.

Therefore, Su Qingluan, in order to be afraid that the moisture of the morning fog outside would be too strong and let the dried shrimp and sesame salt get wet, put the plate containing this thing on the layer of flour soda, and there were a lot of quicklime for preserved eggs in the pocket below.

These things are common "desiccants" that absorb much better water than ordinary ingredients.

Sure enough, with those desiccants with larger volume and more stock to "attract firepower", Su Qingluan's sesame salt is not enough, so it is relatively crispy.

There are still leftovers of yesterday's yam porridge and cakes, and Su Qingluan has made these hot, enough for the whole family to eat.

However, these things didn't have much taste, so Su Qingluan picked out the mustard shreds that had been made before and ate them on a plate, saving him heartburn later.

When my stomach was full, my whole body warmed up, and the sky outside became cloudy.

Today is the official day of "starting work", and the last time there was no experience, Su Qingluan asked them to gather at the door of their homes. However, the actual path to the back mountain is on the other side, which makes a considerable number of people take a lot of detours in vain.

So this time, Su Qingluan changed the meeting place and turned it into a fork in the road to the back mountain.

This fork in the road is a general intersection that brings together all parts of the village who want to go to the back mountain, and the location is more conspicuous and unique, which will greatly reduce the possibility that others can't find it - after all, they all live in Huaxi Village, who doesn't know how to get to the back mountain?

Although there was a "lesson" from the last time yesterday, after all, there were still a few people who were iron, thinking that Su Qingluan should not be too strict when he was late for a cup of tea and a stick of incense, but the result was obvious, he was slapped in the face and left in a gray manner.

So even if there is still a period of time today, Su Qingluan found that everyone was almost here, lest he be late.

Of course, Su Qingluan doesn't think that this is entirely because of his personal prestige, but if he is late, it will greatly damage the fundamental interests of these people - just kidding, once he is late, he will immediately go home, although he can apply for the job next time when the Su family posts a notice, but this also means that this opportunity to make money is not related to him!

Even if Su Qingluan didn't have the heart to help, the villagers of Huaxi Village also understood that the arrival of every winter was a test for everyone - the government collected most of the harvest as taxes, and the food that was really left behind was seriously insufficient.

What's more, not all of these grains can be used to satisfy hunger and go to the market to exchange for some necessary daily necessities, but a considerable part of the seeds with full grains and good quality should be set aside for the next spring.

In this way, the rations are simply not enough to survive the winter, and they can only be eaten by the most important strong laborers in the family. Relatively speaking, the old, weak, sick and disabled are the last to be taken care of, which is also the reason why some old people or young children in Huaxi Village can't survive every time winter comes.

It's not that you don't know that if you make more money, you can buy seasonings for eating or pickling food, but if you know, where is it so easy to find work?

Most of the villagers in Huaxi Village are very industrious, except for farming, ordinary men work as carpenters, masons, hunters, etc., while women are pulp laundry, female red or cook for some red and white birthday feasts.

In short, everyone is constantly looking for part-time jobs when the farm is not working.

But to put it bluntly, these jobs are not particularly rare skills, for people from ten miles and eight towns, what kind of mason or female red embroidery, it is simply normal. Even if everyone's level is different, it's just a matter of asking for a few copper plates, and everything else is pretty much the same.

The higher the substitutability, the lower the wages that will naturally come to hand. What's more, it's not every day that someone hires someone to do a part-time job, this kind of thing depends on luck.

In addition, in the county town outside Huaxi Village, craftsmen who are proficient in various skills also abound, and what people in the town want to do, they basically think of the craftsmen in the town first, and they will not think of Huaxi Village.

Because of this, although most of the villagers in Huaxi Village are very hardworking, there are not many people who have the opportunity to earn some oil and water outside farming.

And this time, Su Qingluan took everyone to work together, and in just a few days, one or two taels of silver could be entered, so this time it is said that the construction period will be longer, won't it be more profitable?

Don't talk nonsense about high work intensity and high work pressure, in the case of survival is a problem, caring about these trivial things is simply that serious disease.

Therefore, after everyone knew that Su Qingluan was really ruthless on the issue of principle, they adhered to the red line of the rules one by one, and almost all went to the assembly point stipulated by Su Qingluan a little earlier today, lest they be late and lose such a good opportunity to make money.

Although Su Qingluan didn't feel the need to report in advance, she wouldn't relax because of this trivial matter - after all, she understood that she was young and a girl, and she had to suppress the formation in order to make this big vote obey her command.

However, there is majesty and reward, Su Qingluan looked at everyone and hung down the first carrot of the day: "I have already asked Mrs. Liu to take the part of the people who are responsible for handling the spices to the other side, and they need more time, so we will go our separate ways." The people who are here today were divided into groups yesterday, and as you may have heard, I often hold competitions here. ”

Speaking of the word "competition", the "old employees" who were originally left to the end of the last time immediately became energetic and concentrated, while the new employees were ignorant and a little longing.

Su Qingluan looked at them and smiled: "That's right, according to the group, everyone has to compete in picking fruits - of course, don't blindly pursue speed, otherwise the quality will not keep up, but you will be deducted points!" ”

The specific rules have not been modified too much on the basis of the last time, and Su Qingluan intends to have one or two "old employees" in each group to explain the rules.

"Just like last time, the group with the higher score in the end will get more prizes!" As soon as Su Qingluan's words came out, there was a cheer below.
