Autumn is gradually approaching.
After several consecutive rains, the river in Dahe Village gradually filled up with water, and a river meandered out, sparkling in the sunshine.
In the past three or five days, the villagers started working together to build a school. There are four rooms in total, three of which are used as schools, and the other one is for the teachers who come to teach. The floor is also built at the door, and the floor is paved from the mountain. The flat stones that were transported looked clean and tidy.
After the school was built, the villagers began to work on autumn planting, which was a very important time.
Dahe Village mainly grows wheat in autumn, and the land must be plowed first. Since there are many households in the village and there are many fields, the plowing needs to be done in turns.
About ten households would support one cow, and the ten families would take turns plowing the fields.
Cheng Wanwan's family has five acres of paddy field and eight acres of dry land. It is still inferior dry land. It needs fertile land to increase wheat production.
Zhao Dashan and Zhao Sanniu were responsible for fertilizing the fields in the fields. They were both top crop leaders, so Cheng Wanwan didn't need to elaborate on all the details.
After Zhao Ergou finished what he should do, he came to Cheng Wanwan to discuss it.
"Mom, my family is pretty busy now. I want to expand the braised food business." He said after some calculation, "Jixiang Restaurant and Zuixian Restaurant require about 350 kilograms of braised food a day. I think I need to find some people." Come help.”
Cheng Wanwan nodded: "Let's talk about the supply first. The supply of game meat from several hunters in the village is not stable. It is best to cooperate with the butchers in the town. One Zhu butcher is not enough. Find a few more. After the supply is stable, this business can Keep doing it for a long time. Besides, seven or eighty kilograms of braised meat had to be divided into several pots to cook, and three hundred kilograms would take a day. We really need to find someone. Do you have a suitable candidate in mind? "
Zhao Ergou thought for a while and said: "Looking at it this way, we have to arrange at least three big pots and prepare a large firewood shed. It is better to do this work over there in the old house. Aunt Wang's house is next door, so why not do this work in the old house?" Let Aunt Wang do the work, Aunt Wang will be responsible for cooking, and Uncle Yongcheng will clean the internal organs and so on, so he should be able to handle this matter."
Cheng Wanwan nodded. Doing this requires a large space, and it is best to do it in a house. An old house is the best choice.
Aunt Wang's family is next door, so it's convenient to do this, and they are all reliable.
The wages of some helpers in restaurants in the town are 600 to 700 coppers a month. A chef with some skills earns more than 1 tael, and a chef with particularly good cooking skills earns 350 taels. We negotiated based on the wages in the town. In the end, Aunt Wang was given a salary of 600 Wen, and Wang Yongcheng was paid 900 Wen. In the future, the Wang family will also need to cut firewood in the woodshed. On this basis, an additional 200 Wen will be added a month. In other words, this job All the money was given to the Wang family for a total of seventeen yuan.
Aunt Wang was stunned.
Of course she knew that the normal price for a small laborer in the town was five to six hundred cents a month, but a peasant woman like her couldn't find such a job in the town. The shopkeepers always promoted their relatives and nephews to work in the shop. Who would want someone like her who doesn't know her as a small worker?
Her man went to the town to find a job, carrying big bags at the dock, and he earned 900 yuan a month, but it was unstable and very tiring, very tiring.
Now, if I collect some animal offal next door, I get 900 yuan, which is like pie in the sky!
"Da Shan Niang, I don't even know what to say." Aunt Wang rubbed her hands, "Look at me before, I was always at odds with you, and I often said bad things about you behind your back... Ahem, I haven't said that recently. real!"
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said: "This job is actually not easy. I have to move the pot to your house at night to prevent it from being stolen."
Wang Yongcheng immediately said: "Da Shan Niang, don't worry, as long as I, Wang Yongcheng, am here, no one will steal anything!"
He pulled out a long knife from behind and inserted it into the mud of the yard.
This long knife was rewarded to him by Zheng in the last chapter. It was his honor. Wherever he went, the gangsters in the village would take a detour when they saw him.
"Sister-in-law!"
Sun's voice sounded at the door of the courtyard.
Mrs. Sun walked very fast, and she looked like a pregnant woman.
She walked over and gasped slightly: "I heard that my sister-in-law left the braised food business to the Loach Lady?"
Cheng Wanwan's expression was indifferent: "What, do I still need to report this matter to you?"
"Sister-in-law, we are a family!" Mrs. Sun said in disbelief, "Leave this job to me and Zhao Youcai, we will definitely do it better than the Wang family!"
Aunt Wang opened her mouth but said nothing.
In terms of biological relationship, Mrs. Sun is indeed closer to Dashan Niang. If Dashan Niang gave this business to Mrs. Sun, she would have no position to say anything.
Cheng Wanwan said softly: "This matter has been decided. I will leave it to Ni Loach's father and mother. His third aunt should take good care of the fetus."
"No, sister-in-law, what you are doing is wrong!"
Sun was so angry that she lost her mind.
The sister-in-law looked down on her Chunhua family, so she specially asked her niece named Yingying to help with the work. After all, it was just a trivial matter.
But selling braised meat is such a big deal, one tael of silver plus seven yuan a month, how can such a lot of money be given to the Wang family for nothing.
"Although I'm pregnant, I'm definitely not lazy!" Mrs. Sun said anxiously, "I'm very strong and can work quickly. Sister-in-law, why can't you let me do it..."
"His third aunt, of course I know that you are more powerful than others, but I also know that you are more greedy than others."
Cheng Wanwan didn't want to say unpleasant words, but it was too annoying for Sun to be so stubborn. If she didn't solve the problem once, there would be a second time.
She said softly, "Just two days ago when we were moving and setting up the meals, you were helping in the kitchen. In about one cup of tea, you took away about seven or eight meatballs from the kitchen, and you also took away four of the four meatballs in the cupboard. An egg just taken out of the henhouse, you say, do I dare to hand over the food business to you? If I give you three hundred kilograms, I'm afraid I will only have two hundred kilograms left..."
Sun's face turned pale.
She thought that what she did that day was very secretive.
But I didn't expect that my sister-in-law would see as many as I took.
She opened her lips: "I'm just hungry... No, I didn't take it. Sister-in-law, you saw it wrong. I really didn't take it!"
The people around her looked at her with strange eyes.
There is no shame in being gluttonous, but it is very shameful to steal other people's food.
And she still secretly eats things from Dashan’s wife’s house. Dashan’s wife does have delicious food at her house, but everyone in the village knows that every time there is delicious food, Dashan’s wife will ask Si Dan to be delivered to the old house, and she will eat it for free. Not enough, so he secretly took seven or eight meatballs and four eggs, which must be a lot of copper coins.
Tsk tsk, what a shame!
"Okay, don't embarrass yourself!" Zhao Youcai squeezed into the crowd and pulled her away, "My sister-in-law didn't even look for her second sister-in-law, so why would she look for you? Come on, come back with me!"
Mrs. Sun originally thought that the truth was on her side, but when Cheng Wanwan said this, she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
This time, I was so embarrassed that I no longer dared to go out and chat with the women in the village.
