It was a dreamless night, probably because Su Qingluan had a good rest that night and got up early the next day.
The morning fog outside hasn't dissipated yet, and it's even getting dark.
Su Qingluan was worried that the heavy humidity in the morning would make the dried shrimps and sesame salt that had just been fried yesterday lose their aroma after absorbing the moisture, and the damp dried shrimps would also easily deteriorate, so she hurriedly went to the kitchen in the dark.
Lighting the fire folding tube for lighting, Su Qingluan took out the dried shrimps and sesame salt and took a sip: Well, it's okay, it wasn't damp and still so crispy, so she quickly transferred the sesame salt to a small ceramic jar and stuffed it with wood. plug.
She had kept this in mind last night, until the morning fog was heavy, and in order to prevent people inside from burning the stove, the kitchen was specially designed to have no doors, ventilation on all sides, but windows.
Therefore, Su Qingluan was afraid that the humidity of the morning mist outside would cause the dried shrimps and sesame salt to get damp, so he put the plate with this stuff on the layer where the noodles are placed. There was also a lot of quicklime for making preserved eggs in the pocket below. .
These are common "desiccants" that absorb water much better than ordinary ingredients.
Sure enough, with the "fire-attracting power" of those larger and more abundant desiccants, the sesame salt made by Su Qingluan was not enough, so it was relatively crispy.
There were still leftovers from yesterday's yam porridge and pancakes. Su Qingluan heated them up, which was enough for the whole family.
However, these things had no taste, so Su Qingluan picked out the mustard shreds that had been prepared before and ate them on a plate to avoid heartburn later.
By the time my stomach was full and my whole body was warm, the sky outside was getting brighter.
Today is the official "start" day. There was no experience last time, so Su Qingluan asked them all to gather in front of his house. But the actual path to the back mountain is on the other side, which makes quite a few 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 where people from all directions in the village want to go to the back mountain trail. The location is more conspicuous and unique, which will greatly reduce the possibility of others not being able to find it - after all, they all live in Huaxi Village. Who still doesn’t know how to get to the back mountain?
Although there were "lessons learned" from the last time yesterday, there were still some stubborn people who thought that they were late for a cup of tea and a stick of incense. Su Qingluan should not be too strict. The result was obvious. He was slapped in the face so hard that he left in despair.
So even though there was still some time left today, Su Qingluan found that everyone was almost there and was afraid of being late.
Of course, Su Qingluan does not think that this is entirely due to his personal prestige, but that if he is late, it will greatly damage the fundamental interests of these people - just kidding, once he is late, he will go home immediately, although he will be late next time. You can apply for the job when the Su family puts up a notice, but this also means that this opportunity to make money will not be available to you!
Even if Su Qingluan has no intention of helping, the villagers in Huaxi Village also understand that every winter is a test for everyone - the government collects most of the harvest as tax, and what is really left behind There is a serious shortage of food.
What's more, not all of this grain can be used to satisfy hunger and go to the market to exchange for some necessary daily necessities. Instead, a considerable part of the seeds with full grains and good quality must be reserved for sowing in the beginning of next spring.
After going back and forth like this, the rations were not enough to survive the winter, and they could only eat for the most important strong laborers at home. Relatively speaking, the old, weak, sick and disabled are the last to be taken care of. This is why every time winter comes in Huaxi Village in recent years, there are some elderly people or young children who cannot survive.
Everyone knows that if you earn more money, you can buy food or seasonings for pickling food, but you know, where is the job so easy to find?
Most of the villagers in Huaxi Village are very hard-working. In addition to farming, the men usually work as carpenters, masons, hunters, etc., while the women starve clothes, work as hostesses, or cook for some wedding banquets.
In short, everyone is constantly looking for extra money and part-time jobs during their spare time.
But to put it bluntly, these skills are not particularly rare. For people from all over the country, it is completely normal to know how to be a mason or a embroiderer. Even if everyone's level is different, it only requires a few copper coins at most, and everything else is pretty much the same.
The higher the fungibility, the lower the wages will naturally be. What's more, it's not every day that someone hires someone else to do part-time work. This kind of thing all depends on luck.
In addition, there are many craftsmen proficient in various skills in the county towns outside Huaxi Village. When people in the town want to do something, they basically think of the craftsmen in the town first, not Huaxi Village.
Because of this, although most of the villagers in Huaxi Village are very hard-working, there are really not many people who have the opportunity to make some money other than farming.
But this time Su Qingluan brought everyone to work together, and he was able to earn one or two taels of silver in just a few days. So this time it is said that the construction period will be longer, wouldn't he earn more?
Don't talk nonsense about high intensity of work and high pressure. When survival is a problem, worrying about such trivial matters is simply a serious disease.
So after everyone knew that Su Qingluan was really merciless on issues of principle, everyone followed the red line of the rules more closely. Today, they almost all arrived at the meeting point specified by Su Qingluan earlier, for fear of being late and losing such a good opportunity. an opportunity to make money.
Although Su Qingluan felt that there was no need to report in advance, she would not relax because of this trivial matter - after all, she knew that she was young and a girl, and she had to suppress the formation to make this large number of people obey her orders.
However, there must be rewards with dignity. Su Qingluan looked at everyone and dropped the first carrot of the day: "I have asked Madam Liu to take the people responsible for processing spices to the other side. They need more time. , so we split up. The people here today were divided into groups yesterday. You should have heard that I often hold various competitions here. "
When the word "competition" was mentioned, the "old employees" who had stayed until the end of the last time immediately became energetic and focused, while the new employees looked confused and a little longing.
Su Qingluan looked at them and smiled: "Yes, according to the group, everyone will compete in picking fruits - of course, everyone should not blindly pursue speed, otherwise the quality will not keep up, but points will be deducted!"
The specific rules have not been modified too much based on the last time, and Su Qingluan intends to have one or two "old employees" in each group responsible for explaining the rules.
"Same as last time, the group with the higher final score will get more bonuses!" As soon as Su Qingluan said this, there was a burst of cheers.
