"I've thought about it! I want to ask Uncle Erlai to be the accountant. When Uncle Erlai and my father were doing business together, it was easy to keep accounts and keep accounts. But I haven't told Uncle Erlai about this yet.

I want to wait until Uncle Daqiang has found all the people here, and then talk to Uncle Erlai about helping me manage the accounts."

Lin Youwang sighed: "Secondly, it's not easy for this child. I have a life-long friendship with your father. I have watched you two siblings grow up since I was a child. It's just that it's inconvenient for his legs and feet to travel back and forth every day. Please think about it."

Coping?"

Lin Xiaoman said: "There is no room for people to live behind the store. I would like to inquire about renting a small courtyard nearby. When the store is busy and I can't make it to the city, I can stay there."

"Okay, you are thoughtful, but the money for renting the small courtyard comes from the income of the shop, so you siblings cannot suffer."

Lin Xiaoman did not fight with him.

Lin Daqiang was gone for most of an hour, and when he came back he was followed by twenty or thirty people.

Lin Daqiang called six men and four women aside, "Xiaoman, we have found people for you. These are going to the city to help, and the rest are to help build walls and clean up houses. You see, are they all suitable?"

?If it doesn’t work, tell Uncle Daqiang and he will change it for you."

Lin Xiaoman looked at them one by one and saw that they were all hard-working and hard-working people in the village who did not gossip.

Especially the ten people who were selected to work in the city, and two of them had helped cook in restaurants in the city, and they were obviously here to look at the stove at Lin Xiaoman's request.

Lin Xiaoman smiled, "I see that uncle has chosen the best ones in our village. I can rest assured that Uncle Daqiang is doing his job!"

Not only did Lin Daqiang feel comfortable listening to this sentence, but the villagers who were originally worried that Lin Xiaoman would not like them were relieved after hearing her words.

When the clan leader came to see them, he made an agreement that this was a business that Lin Xiaoman, his sister, and the clan would do together. If they didn't do well, the clan would let others take over.

Next, Lin Xiaoman first agreed with the people who were helping to repair the yard that they would start work tomorrow, and then discussed the wages. Each person would be paid 20 cents per day, and the construction period would be 20 days. If the work could be completed within 20 days, each person would be given another 100 cents.<

/p>

Building a house in the village generally only takes ten days to complete the yard. Lin Xiaoman's yard is not bigger than other houses, and they hired so many people. As long as they don't slack off, they can finish the job in twenty days and still get a hundred coins for free.

Everyone is gearing up for a big fight.

Let one of them get up early tomorrow morning and go to the next village to buy bricks. After the others get up early and come over to work, let these people go back first.

After these people left, Lin Xiaoman agreed with the ten people who were going to the city to help. The wages were 600 fen per month for those who worked in the city and 800 fen per month for those who worked on the stove. If they did well, they would be paid back at the end of the month.

There are rewards.

After Lin Xiaoman finished speaking, Lin Youwang said with a solemn face: "I'm going to say something ugly at the beginning. This was originally the business of Xiaoman's family, but their siblings couldn't bear to see the poverty in the family and couldn't even spend the money to build the ancestral hall, so they divided the business among

The clan has been working together, so I have given you a few jobs to do. If anyone wants to bully Xiaoman and his sister when they are young, and has inappropriate thoughts, don’t blame me and punish them according to the clan rules!"

Lin Daqiang has long told them that they can do things for the clan, and as long as they are willing to work hard, they will be looked down upon by the villagers.

At this time, everyone patted their chests and promised, "Second uncle, don't worry, I promise to do my job well and never cheat."

"Yes, second uncle, I promise that too!"

Lin Youwang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you all go back and come over early tomorrow morning to follow Xiaoman into the city."

Several people said hello to Lin Xiaoman and his brother before leaving.

After everyone left, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Daqiang wrote a deed about the share of the store, explaining their share with the clan and some precautions, in duplicate, and Lin Daqiang and Lin Xiaoman pressed their fingerprints.

Lin Xiaoman told Lin Daqiang and his son about their idea of ​​building a fire pit, "I also read about this fire pit in a book. It is built with bricks or adobe, covered with a mud board, and a chimney is built at the end of the pit.

The smoke is exhausted upward, and the stove is connected to the outside. As long as you light the fire to cook, the heat will follow the flue to heat the stove. You will not be afraid of the cold when sleeping on it in winter. I think Uncle Daqiang will choose some trustworthy people among the people who help build the house.

Yes, I will teach them how to set up the fire pit. When the fire pit in our village is built, they can also go outside to take over the work of setting up the fire pit."

Although they didn't know what Lin Xiaoman was talking about, Lin Daqiang and Lin Youwang were very interested, "Xiaoman, please tell Grandpa Er carefully."

Lin Xiaoman dipped his hand in water and drew a simple drawing on the table. The more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.

It’s just that the fire pit hasn’t been set up yet, and I don’t know if it will work or not, so I told Lin Xiaoman that I would call them over to have a look when the fire pit is set up.

As for the candidates, Lin Daqiang believes that the people he is looking for have trustworthy characters and are part of the clan's livelihood. As long as he makes a good deal with them, they will not talk nonsense outside.

Anyway, the job of setting up a fire bed is best done in the first year. By the next year, almost everyone outside will have learned it, and it will not be their turn to come to them.

The more people who learn how to do it, the faster they can build fire pits in the village. Only when the fire pits in the village are finished, it will be the turn of people outside.

When I got home, I respectfully placed He's memorial tablet in the house. After kowtowing a few times, I wrapped it in a piece of red cloth and burned it in a brazier.

The memorial tablets of their parents have been put into the ancestral hall, and people offer incense and worship them every day, but there is no need for Mrs. Lin to make them.

It was still not late, so Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Erhu to bring the Four Treasures of the Study. The two siblings discussed and drew a drawing for building a house and a drawing for building a hot bed.

The kang surface can be mixed with yellow mud and thatch, but the kang surface must be prepared and dried earlier, otherwise it will take a long time to wait until the house is built before making the kang board.

When it was time for dinner, Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu went to Lin Erlai's house with another piece of pork head they bought in the city.

Fourth Grandma and Lin Erlai were weighing mushrooms for people in the yard. When they saw the siblings coming over, they greeted them into the house, "Xiaoman, Erhu, you go inside and sit for a while. I will talk to you after Fourth Grandma has finished weighing the mushrooms."

Lin Erlai's sad face rarely showed a smile, "Xiaoman, Erhu, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, you will eat at home."

Lin Xiaoman and Lin Erhu were also absent, "It's been a long time since I've eaten the cakes baked by Uncle Erlai. I'm still surprised."

"Okay, uncle will bake pancakes for you tonight. Mom, keep an eye on the mushrooms while I cook pancakes."

"Go ahead and bake more. Xiaoman and Erhu won't have to do anything tomorrow."

"Hey, I got it!" After Lin Er finished speaking, he walked to the kitchen on his back.

Lin Xiaoman was not polite and followed him to the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, sliced ​​the pig head meat and put it into a big bowl.

Fill a large bowl, then pat two cloves of garlic into a small bowl, pour some soy sauce and mix.

Lin Er came to see him, "You said you two would come over here, why did you buy this?"
Chapter completed!
