After finding a long-term farm worker, the old lady searched the crowd for a craftsman who knew how to make leather goods.
But it seemed that I couldn't find anything suitable, so I had to give up for the time being.
Chen Da and Chen Er took a carriage back to the village with the old lady. Chen Da was silent along the way, but Chen Er, like a stranger, chatted with the coachman on many issues.
Which village has more fertile fields or more thin fields?
Do you retting the fields when you farm?
How many times a year do you pull weeds?
When grouting, the water in the field should be kept somewhat deep and so on.
Even though the driver had been farming all his life, he still couldn't answer some questions.
The old lady leaned aside and did not participate in their conversation, but she listened to Chen Er's words.
This Chen Er is taking this opportunity to show himself his abilities!
She was right, he was indeed a smart man.
But when you go back, you have to observe and observe. Being smart is a good thing, but being too smart is not a good thing.
Several people returned to the village.
Xu Zhengxiang arranged Chen Da and Chen Er in the original warehouse at home.
"When the new rabbit house is built, I will leave a house for you two to live there." Xu Zhengxiang said.
Chen Er quickly said: "It's okay. We are used to living in the open. Just build a straw shed for us to live on the edge of the field."
…
The two men arrived just in time. The next day, the autumn harvest began in the village.
Xu Zhengxiang discovered that the two people the old lady had found were really capable. Others could cut a small piece of land in a morning, but together they could cut three times as much as others.
The speed is one thing, but the main reason is that these two people work without taking a break.
The two of them were working while others were standing up, and they were working while others were drinking water. While others were working, they were still working.
"Luo Xin is right, the old lady has a good vision, and the person she found is so capable!"
"Not only can it be done, but it can also be eaten!" The old lady snorted.
If she had known they were so good at eating, she would have really counted them together.
Xu Zhengxiang steamed eighteen mixed-noodle buns in the morning, which was enough for two people to eat for a day.
These two people are very good, they created light in one click.
"It's okay. Aren't we busy with farming now? When we have free time, it won't be so delicious!" Xu Zhengxiang said happily, looking at the bare land of his house.
Compared with Chen Er's proficiency, Chen Da's movements are much unfamiliar.
But he is strong.
If others carry one bundle of rice, he can carry four bundles himself.
This time Ye Luoxin did not participate in the work in the fields. The old lady went to the fields with several maids to help pick rice ears.
Chen Er saw Xu Zhengxiang and the old lady and said, "Madams, you don't need to lift a hand to do the work in the field. Besides, I think our field is not too fertile. Let's fertilize it better next year and produce an extra two hundred a year." A pound of food is not a problem.”
Xu Zhengxiang was happy to hear this.
"If you can make the fields produce two hundred more pounds, you can eat as many white-flour steamed buns as you want!"
"okay!"
After hearing this, Chen Er moved faster!
It was a good day for several days in a row.
The rice harvest in the village is almost finished.
This year's harvest has been good. The second crop of rice was planted on time, and the harvest is much larger than in previous years.
The most important thing is that there has been no increase in taxes this year. The villagers will go home after harvesting rice to do the calculation.
This year we have two to three hundred kilograms more grain left than in previous years.
With this food, they can live a good year in peace and stability, and they won't have to worry about a drought next spring.
Everyone went out with smiles on their faces.
Li Zheng also never forgets to remind the villagers: "Don't forget, our village has such a low tax this year, it is all thanks to the Huiru people! You must be grateful as a person."
"Village chief, don't worry! If anything happens at Uncle Changhe's house in the future, just say hello and we'll go right away!"
A few days later, the Xiao family officially started building the rabbit house.
The wages paid this time were high and many people came, so the process was fast and hundreds of mud bricks could be produced in a day.
Xu Cai's body has almost recovered after these days.
He originally wanted to join everyone in picking soil to make bricks, but Ye Luoxin stopped him.
"Mr. Xu, your bones are fragile, so you don't need to do this kind of work!"
Xu Cai thought that Ye Luoxin looked down on him, so he quickly defended himself: "Why are my body bones so fragile? I am very strong, okay?"
"I did not mean that."
Ye Luoxin smiled slightly: "It's just that Mr. Xu is not the person to do these menial jobs. I have more important things that I want Mr. Xu to do for me."
"What's up?"
Xu Cai was secretly happy.
A few days ago, everyone had been reused, but he was the only one still herding geese. Now it was finally his turn.
"I want Mr. Xu to go to the county seat and help me deliver the goods." Ye Luoxin said.
Xu Cai was disappointed.
It turned out that it was delivery. This kind of thing could be done by one person, and there was no need for him to take action.
"Forget it, then I'll let the geese go home. You can call me again when there are other important things!"
Ye Luoxin saw what he was thinking and explained: "This is an important matter, and it has to be you!"
"Whoever delivers the goods has to be me! Miss Ye, don't lie to me!
At the beginning, I was relying on my father's ability to do mischief outside. Now that my restaurant is gone, who can take me seriously! "
"Of course!" Ye Luoxin deliberately let it slip, "You'll know when you see me tomorrow!"
Xu Cai was doubtful.
The next day, I still carried a basket of purses and set out on the road with Ye Luoxin.
Originally, he didn't have to come out so early.
But since returning to Qinghe County, he has been living in Qingshan Village and has not visited Ye Luoxin's store.
Seeing Ye Luoxin and Xiao Mu working hard all morning and finally cooking 20 braised rabbits, which were all sold out in a short time, Xu Cai couldn't hold himself any longer.
"Miss Ye, don't you plan to open a bigger store?"
Ye Luoxin nodded.
"We have no plans yet! Besides," she continued, "Qinghe County is too small. If you want to open a big store, you have to go to Anchang Prefecture."
After hearing this, Xu Cai clapped his hands and laughed: "Yes, yes, that's how it should be!
I told my dad at the beginning that as many guests as possible in a small Qinghe County, it would be better to go to Anchang Mansion, but my dad never agreed! What future is there if we stick to Qinghe County! "
"The business is different, the ideas are different!"
Ye Luoxin said: "Your house was originally a restaurant, and it involved a lot of things. But I travel lightly, and there won't be too much pressure wherever I go!"
Xu Cai sounded reasonable, but he didn't completely agree.
"By the way, where am I going to deliver the goods later?" he asked.
"Actually, I think the job in this shop is more suitable for me!" Xu Cai still didn't want to be a delivery boy.
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, a deep voice sounded: "With me in charge of the store, Mr. Xu doesn't need to worry about it!"
It was Xiao Mu who spoke.
Ever since Xu Cai woke up, he always felt that Xiao Mu looked at him with defensiveness and dissatisfaction.
He thought about it over and over, but he couldn't figure out how he had offended this old man.
But he didn't have time to figure it out.
Because when the carriage stopped, Xu discovered that the place where Ye Luoxin brought him was actually the back door of the county government office!
