Su Qingluan's change did not cause much commotion. After all, with such a heavy workload today, having only two meals a day, morning and afternoon, is not enough for most people.
But if we want to continue to recruit new personnel, it will take at least two or three days. In these two or three days, is it possible that we have to prepare our own food after working hard all morning?
It sounds a bit tragic no matter what.
"The second thing is also the thing that everyone is most looking forward to today." Su Qingluan looked at everyone, "After returning to the village later, I will distribute today's wages and agreement to each group based on the total amount of fruit picked today. Rewards - each group should take good care of their own fruits, and if they get bumped, the gains outweigh the losses!"
In fact, if these fruits are just placed in woven baskets on the road without being bumped violently, because the freshly picked fruits are very plump and firm, and the peel also has a certain protective effect, there will be no obvious damage at least within a day or two.
But considering that the second and third groups were fighting together just now, Su Qingluan asked each of their groups to go back separately, with four "logistics team members" as intervals in the middle, so that he could see if anyone continued before and after. Fighting and causing trouble can also prevent stumbling between each other.
With this in mind, the group quickly returned to Huaxi Village.
Because they are all villagers in the village and everyone knows them well, when they heard that Su Qingluan and the others wanted to borrow a scale for weighing goods, the villagers readily agreed.
In order to prevent someone from weighing his own group or under-calculating the weight of another group, Su Qingluan thought of a way: the five groups in turn transferred two people from the previous group to this group as "supervisors", that is, the first Two people from one group are transferred to the second group, two people from the second group are transferred to the third group, and so on, and two people from the fifth group are transferred to the first group.
In this way, all objections to the results were eliminated.
Not surprisingly, the first place was the fourth group, one of the three groups that was not involved in the fight; but what surprised Su Qingluan was that the second place—tied for second to be exact—was the second group from the previous fight. Three groups.
The difference between the fifth group and the first group was not big, and they only lost with a slight disadvantage. However, considering that the second and third groups destroyed a lot of the fruits they had already picked due to the fight, they were considered "catching up later", so these two groups were convinced of their defeat.
But despite this, some people still find it incredible:
"The second and third groups were obviously so far behind at the beginning..."
"That is to say, the two groups actually surpassed each other."
"If the fight hadn't taken so long and damaged so many fruits, I'm afraid the second and third groups would have tied for first place today."
"I also feel that way……"
Everyone was talking a lot, but Su Qingluan, who saw the cooperation between the two groups before, was very satisfied.
So according to the agreement, Su Qingluan distributed rewards to the second and third groups according to the level of second place. And because they were tied for second, the other two groups fell out of the top three and therefore received no rewards.
Zhaodi and Aunt Zou were not among these people because they were changed to members of the logistics department and were paid separately along with Liu Yunniang.
Seeing that everyone was discussing very intensely, Su Qingluan simply explained to everyone the cooperation between the two groups: "Being able to learn to cooperate with each other is a very commendable thing. Of course, there are also unreasonable aspects in this matter, such as When two teams collaborate, the number of people will be twice as large as other teams, and the cooperation will be more efficient."
Su Qingluan looked at the other members who had not received the reward and cast a comforting look: "I know that this kind of cooperation is taking advantage of loopholes, but I did not specify that the groups cannot cooperate before. But tonight I will issue a more detailed The detailed rules of rewards and punishments will be implemented tomorrow - as for today, after all, I don’t have rules in advance, so I can’t punish you with something that doesn’t exist yet.”
What's more, Su Qingluan only noticed later that there was a very big loophole in this kind of "collaboration" between groups - if five groups worked together, even if all five groups were in a state of fishing, as long as they discussed it, , the fruits obtained are divided into five equal parts, then these groups are tied for first place.
At that time, not only Su Qingluan's gains may be greatly reduced, but also a large "bonus" will have to be paid.
Su Qingluan knew that based on the simple character of the villagers, the possibility of such a thing happening was very small. But whether it is said that she judges a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart, or that she has a dark psychology, countless experiences in her previous life have told Su Qingluan - no matter what the circumstances, don't overestimate the upper limit of human beings, and don't underestimate human beings' abilities. lower limit.
So in order not to regret it in the future, Su Qingluan simply planned to nip this hidden danger in the bud.
After today's wages were paid, everyone wanted to go back. Su Qingluan's leather card collector attracted everyone's attention and said: "Don't leave in a hurry. I have one thing to discuss with you."
Su Qingluan looked at the baskets of fruits that had been picked: "Everyone knows that even though the weather has turned cold now, the picked fruits are still prone to damage or even rot if they are not processed as soon as possible, so the fruits picked today are The fruit must be processed as soon as possible."
After preliminary processing, the fruit will be washed, boiled, most of the water evaporated, and a large amount of sugar and salt will be added to make preliminary jam, which is more than a little or two stronger than the preservative ability of fruit.
We were all farmers with their backs turned to the sky, but they still had some common sense, so they all said that their homes were nearby and they could go to theirs.
Su Qingluan shook his head: "The next step requires a large number of containers and seasonings, and the jam must be cooked carefully and slowly, and not over high heat, otherwise it will be scorched. Therefore, this process cannot be completed in an instant. .”
"But it's almost midnight now, and everyone has to go back and prepare dinner..."
Su Qingluan nodded when he heard this: "Of course I know everyone's difficulties, so this matter is done on a voluntary basis. Considering that it will take up everyone's rest time, anyone who stays to work overtime today will be paid double the day's wages. "
Sure enough, when they heard that working overtime tonight was voluntary, most people chose to leave. But as soon as Su Qingluan offered the condition of "double daytime wages", everyone's eyes lit up.
Why do farmers finally end a year of hard farming and go out to work again when winter is approaching? Isn't it just for Brother Kong Fang?
So except for some family members who had to go back because they were waiting for cooking, like Aunt Zou, most of the remaining people decided to stay and work overtime.
As for the possibility of staying up late tonight and continuing to work tomorrow morning, everyone said: It’s a joke. It’s normal to stay up for three days and three nights when the farming season is busy. What’s wrong with staying up late occasionally?
