Lin Xiaoman didn't have to worry about it for two days. Lu Jin sent another batch of exiled people to Hedong Village. Before they could settle down, Lin Xiaoman came to pick them up. Lin Xiaoman picked the rest and let Lin Daqiang distribute them.
p>

We quickly applied for household registration for all these people, and they were regarded as people from Hedong Village.

The house that was left vacant after the Xu family moved out was just used by these new arrivals.

Compared with the more than 300 people who were brought here by relatives of the Xu family, the ones sent this time are composed of several families. There is no fear that they will unite to oppress the original residents of Hedong Village.

As soon as the people moved in, they were arranged by Lin Daqiang to help in the fields of each household. Each person was paid twenty cents a day and two meals a day, which were paid by the employer.

So some people quit, "Clan leader, why did the Xu family get wages and food and drink from the government when they worked for Xiaoman's family, but when they came to us, they had to leave their own family?"

Lin Daqiang asked: "Lin Dazhuang, do you think your family wants to hire someone?"

Lin Dazhuang was left speechless by the question, his face turned red and his neck was thick with pain, but he finally said: "Yes!"

Lin Daqiang snorted: "You are the only one who has a lot of trouble. Who doesn't know that when the county magistrate treated the Xu family, it was because Mr.

Take care of one or two."

Lin Dazhuang refused to accept, "Then we can also take care of Mr. Xu, why don't we let the Xu family help my family with work?"

This time Lin Daqiang was amused, "Why are you taking care of it? You don't know what your family eats? When you cook pig food, don't you cook an extra bite? Do you still want Mr. Xu to eat pig food with your family?"

Lin Dazhuang's face turned even redder when he was told that, and he cursed in his mind that the stingy things his wife had done would make him embarrassed if word spread about them. However, he had to admit that the food at Lin Xiaoman's house was really good, and he didn't know that Lin Xiaoman's food was delicious.

Where did you learn? Her mother didn’t seem to be that good at cooking back then.

Seeing that he was speechless, Lin Daqiang hummed: "Your family has made a lot of money this year by following Xiaoman's family in growing peppers, tomatoes and potatoes, right? Your Majesty hasn't said anything about charging you more land tax, so how come you still don't have enough money to hire people to do the work?"

?"

Lin Dazhuang didn't dare to say any more, for fear that Lin Dazhuang's words would be right. What if the news reaches the ears of the county magistrate, and he gives him little shoes to wear, and says that his family earns more and needs to collect land tax?<

/p>

When Lin Daqiang saw that Lin Dazhuang didn't say anything more, he hit the villagers again and told them to make money and not think about those who had nothing. He really offended Xiaoman and the adults because of his talk, so he didn't let them make money and told them not to come.

Cry to yourself.

Everyone understands this. Now most people in the village have made money. Even the men in Aunt Wang’s family who offended Lin Xiaoman have made a lot. Except for a few families without labor, only Xiaoman’s own grandparents are the only ones.

The family didn’t make any money.

But don’t say you sympathize with them at this time. If you don’t follow the trend and step on a few feet, it’s just because they are old and don’t have a few more years to live.

Lin Xiaoman first took the people she selected to familiarize themselves with the conditions in the fields. Instead of rushing them to work, she let them drink porridge for a few days to nourish their bodies and regulate their stomachs, so that they would not have to do much work.

, people fell tired first.

Fortunately, the ones she picked were relatively strong, and after raising them for a few days, all of them had smooth faces.

The harvest of sweet potatoes began in the next few days. These people in Lin Xiaoman's family were indeed stronger than others and worked harder.

It's a joke. It's not like they didn't ask. Who among the people who came with them ate better than them? I heard that many people ate brown rice and wild vegetable porridge that the host didn't eat.

If you really don’t work hard, what should you do if the host wants to replace someone?

Lin Xiaoman fell in love with the large red-skinned sweet potatoes as they were dug out one by one. Whether they were eaten open, steamed or boiled into porridge, they all tasted delicious and sweet, especially when grilled.

After harvesting the sweet potatoes, several of Lin Xiaoman's employees were doing well, but many employees in the village collapsed from exhaustion. Fortunately, Lin Daqiang went to the city to hire a doctor, so no one was killed.

But at the same time, the family who tired the hired worker was also given a scolding by Lin Daqiang. A good family only earns 20 cash a day, so how can they treat people like animals and not even give them enough food?

When word spread, outsiders would think that Hedong Village was a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Who would be willing to come to the village to help with work in the future?

The person who was being scolded couldn't hold his head up, and several of his employees also approached Lin Daqiang, wanting to help others.

Lin Daqiang agreed after a few words of persuasion. After all, every family is short of manpower. If this family doesn't treat people well, they can't let people work hard for them, right?

He would have to harvest rice and corn later, and he didn't want to see anyone die of exhaustion in Hedong Village.

After the sweet potatoes were harvested, several families bought carts with clay stoves built on top, and pushed the carts to the city to sell roasted sweet potatoes.

A pound of roasted sweet potatoes sells for 30 cents. Not to mention they are easy to sell, as demand exceeds supply every day.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, another restaurant from the city came to the village to collect sweet potatoes, and a pound of sweet potatoes cost 20 cents. The seller of roasted sweet potatoes found out that after a pound of roasted sweet potatoes, there was still 70% left, so it was troublesome to go to the county town to sell them.

, it’s really better to sell it directly to a restaurant.

Some people saw that sweet potatoes were valuable, so they sold all the sweet potatoes at home and only waited for the food to come down to buy more food.

As before, most of Lin Xiaoman's sweet potatoes were bought by Lu Jin, leaving only some for Lin Xiaoman to eat by himself.

After new people came into the village, the rest of the Xu family, except for the eldest brother Xu Qiuliang, were arranged to help in the fields of Lin Xiaoman's family.

The salary was still paid by Lu Jin, but Lu Jin only said: "You have brought new grains and new seeds to the court. These are all yours. In a few days, the court's awards will be yours."

Lin Xiaoman was greatly moved, but she didn't know what to say about the fact that he kept asking people to bring him some food that couldn't be found in the north. She couldn't say that the food he sent was no longer fresh? She

The food there is better than what he brings, and the variety of food is probably something he has never seen before, right?

Well, she has to accept your wishes, otherwise if she really agrees to be with him in the future, he will think that she doesn't like him giving things and won't give them away?

After working on the farm for several days, Lin Xiaoman was exhausted and didn't want to cook when he was free. He cooked a pot of eggplant, potatoes and sweet potatoes in a big pot, and there was also a lot of green corn on the bottom of the pot.

At this time, the green sticks are not as tender as before, but Lin Xiaoman prefers this slightly hard texture. The main reason is that this kind of fast-ripening corn resists hunger, unlike the young tender corn that makes you hungry again after you are full.

After it was cooked, the eggplant and potatoes were mixed into a bowl, and the fried egg sauce was added to it, and chopped green onions and coriander were added. Lu Jin ate with eyebrows flying, and from time to time he took a bite of sweet potato, gnawed an ear of corn, and drank from the bowl.

A mouthful of corn gruel.
