After breakfast, the district chief came to Wen's house and discussed with Wen Danian about recruiting workers.
"Old man Wen, how many workers are you planning to recruit this time? There are quite a few idle workers in our village right now." The village leader said with a smile, "Girl Wen said that she wants to find more workers, why don't I ask your opinion now?"
Wen Danian waved his hand and said with a smile, "Xi'er can just make the decision on these matters."
The chief was surprised.
No one else knew what was going on with the Wen family, but he knew it.
Wen Kang has listened to his parents all his life. Wen Danian has always had the final say in the family. After all, he has read some books before, so he naturally has the most say.
I just didn't expect that Wen Xi would have the final say on such a big matter now.
"Grandpa, the village chief, anyone in our village who can come to work can come, but we must agree first that we won't accept those who are sneaky, sneaky, or have bad conduct. As long as they are willing to work hard, the wages will be much higher." Wen Xi said laughingly.
The lieutenant couldn't help but take another look at Wen Xi, and saw the calmness and calmness in the little girl in front of him that he had never seen before.
It’s hard to imagine that a girl in her early teens would have such courage and grace.
"Grandpa Li Chang, how do we calculate the wages for working here?"
"If you build a house, you need twenty cash per person per day, and you don't have to take care of food. If you take care of lunch, it's fifteen cash."
The salary is the same as Wen Kang's.
Wen Xi thought for a while and said, "As long as you can work diligently, you can get 20 cash per person per day and a lunch."
"What?" The mayor quickly stopped him: "In this case, you may have to spend a lot more money until you finish building the house!"
"It doesn't matter. Our family was poor before and we received a lot of help from the villagers. This time we have returned the favor. Besides, only if we eat well can we have the strength to work!"
The director once again refreshed his understanding of Wen Xi. These words did not sound like they were coming from the mouth of a girl in her early ten years.
If this is really what Wen Xi thinks about himself, he can only say that the Wen family has raised a good girl!
He turned his attention to Wen Danian again and saw him nodding, agreeing with what Wen Xi said.
He thought very clearly that Wen Xi had earned the money, so she could use it however she wanted.
Anyway, it seems that my granddaughter is a shrewd person and will not be deceived.
After finalizing the matter of workers, the next step is to find the craftsmen in the town.
To build this house, she naturally wanted to use some modern designs. Even though ancient times did not have as advanced technology as modern times, some advanced design ingenuity can be realized.
Moreover, the things designed by skilled craftsmen in ancient times are even far superior to those of later generations.
But the only connections she could think of in this town were Baicaotang and Fulai Buzhuang.
But in terms of connections, Shopkeeper Wang should have more connections.
After making up his mind, Wen Xi began to draw drawings.
I drew out all the ideas I could think of that could be realized here.
A few days later, Wen Xi came to Baicaotang with the drawings.
When Shopkeeper Wang saw her coming in, he hurried forward to greet her and said with a smile on his face: "Miss Wen."
"Shopkeeper Wang, your complexion is getting better after a few days."
"Thanks to your pills!" Speaking of the pills, shopkeeper Wang admired Wen Xi from the bottom of his heart. As a doctor, he naturally knew the value of the pills.
Even in the capital, it is rare to see it.
Even if there were famous doctors who could prepare such pills, they would be very famous doctors, and she actually had such ability at such a young age.
Regardless of whether Wen Xi was the one his master liked, he didn't dare to underestimate him.
If the master really fell in love with her, then he would be even more respectful.
"Miss Wen, what are you doing here today?"
"To be honest, I do have something to trouble you with." Wen Xi smiled and said, "My family is building a house and I would like to hire a skilled person in this area. Do you have any recommendations?"
Shopkeeper Wang heard it and said, yes! There are many such skilled craftsmen in his master's house, so how can he miss this opportunity for his master to earn performance?
"Haha, if this is the case, then it's all my fault!"
Anyway, the master said that he would look after the Wen family and help with anything.
"Thank you very much."
After solving this matter, Wen Xi felt extremely relieved.
Thinking that building a house would cost a lot of money, he took out the ginseng prepared in advance.
Shopkeeper Wang saw her take out a box, and his heart was slightly shaken. This little ancestor must have brought something great.
When I opened it, I found that it was actually a ginseng plant. The quality was better than the last one. I could already see the human shape. The year was close to a hundred years. When I got close, I could smell the extremely strong medicinal fragrance.
If 50-year-old ginseng is hard to come by, then 100-year-old ginseng is priceless.
Where were these ancestors found?
Can you take him with you next time?
Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Wen Xi said, "Shopkeeper Wang, will you accept this ginseng?"
Shopkeeper Wang's thoughts were interrupted, and his consciousness gradually returned. He hurriedly said to her: "Miss Wen, where did you find the ginseng these two times?"
"It's on the mountain behind my house." Wen Xi wasn't lying. After all, the first ginseng plant was indeed found there.
Can ginseng grow in such a barren place?
"Shopkeeper Wang, do you want to take this ginseng?"
"Collect, collect, collect!" You can't find such good-looking ginseng even if you go to the capital. It is something that has been passed down from generation to generation by a family of medicine. Unexpectedly, Miss Wen took it out as soon as she asked and sold it without hesitation.
"I don't know what price I should pay for this ginseng. After all, the value is too high. It is far beyond the comparison of fifty-year-old ginseng." He thought for a while and said: "I can offer five thousand taels. If you take it, If it’s an auction house, then I don’t know how much it can fetch.”
auction? It’s a bit interesting. If you have the chance, you can go for a walk. You might be surprised!
"Okay, then five thousand taels! I need fifty 100-tael silver notes." Wen Xi didn't hesitate, it was just a ginseng plant, and there were plenty of them in her space.
Besides, five thousand taels is not a small amount.
Shopkeeper Wang immediately asked his clerk to go to the accounting room to get the money. Within a moment, five thousand taels of silver notes were placed in front of Wen Xi.
She calmly picked up the banknote and stuffed it into her sleeve pocket.
Shopkeeper Wang's eyelids twitched.
Five thousand taels! Not five taels, can Miss Wen give it basic respect?
It was just stuffed into the sleeve pocket, and those who didn't know it thought it was toilet paper.
In fact, Wenxi was put into space.
After the matter was done, Wen Xi stood up and left, and Shopkeeper Wang walked all the way to the door.
"Miss Wen, the craftsman will arrive tomorrow. If you have any requirements, just tell him."
Wen Xi thought for a while, handed him the hand-drawn design and said, "Show him this and see if it can be realized."
Shopkeeper Wang couldn't understand it after looking at it for a long time, so he said, "Okay, don't worry!"
