Chapter one hundred and sixty-ninth good-hearted owner
After drinking a bowl of porridge, Mr. Zheng felt more comfortable.
Others also served porridge and praised him again and again.
Boss Zheng gave Li Dabao a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Little boss, your cakes are delicious, is there pig sesame inside?"
Li Dabao nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, it doesn't look like pig water, but it is made with a lot of spices and it tastes delicious."
"It's not easy to cook pigs in water. It's delicious. I've never had it in Baisha Town." Boss Zheng tried.
"Of course, this is Li's secret recipe. But when someone from our village opens a shop in the town, you will be able to buy it." Li Dabao replied, the village chief's grandfather bought the recipe, and when the autumn harvest is over and the house is built,
I guess I'm going to open a braised pork shop in town.
Boss Zheng was envious, "When the time comes, I will definitely go and support him."
As for sesame, even if it is made with spices, it tastes very good, but the price is not too expensive.
If it is too expensive, customers would rather sell meat than buy pigs.
They had just finished eating when Liu Paner arrived again driving the bullock cart.
Brother Zheng was about to use a pole to carry the rice ears in the basket and send them down, but Liu Pan'er stopped him, "Brother Zheng, you have just eaten. You cannot do heavy work immediately. It will be bad for your health. If you can't take time off,
, first squat down or sit on the rice stalk and cut off the rice ears we harvested yesterday."
"Thank you for your consideration." Mr. Zheng did not refuse. He had just finished his meal and he really didn't want to move, but he was still a little exhausted.
The owner is so kind to prepare such delicious food and let them do light work. Mr. Zheng's father died young, and his mother worked hard to raise the three brothers. He is the eldest son, and the eldest brother is like his father. He comes out almost every year
He worked as a part-time worker for a period of time. When his younger brother grew up, he took his two younger brothers to work as a part-time worker with the villagers to supplement the family income.
Just relying on the small output of the family can only make enough food, but cannot save much money.
You must work hard, maybe this company will recruit people next year, and you won't have to look for work everywhere.
These people's ideas actually fit Liu Pan'er's mind. The harvest date in the village's fields is similar to that of her family, and there are no people to hire from the village to do the work.
It was different in other villages. There were fixed people doing the work and they knew everything, so she didn't have to go to the town to look for work every time.
But Liu Pan'er didn't say anything now, she was observing.
She is willing to pay well and have good food in exchange for the hard work of the hired workers.
If she can't, it's her failure as a manager.
These eight people were all good at working. Together with Li Dabao and Liu Pan'er, as well as Mrs. Liu who came over after finishing their work, it took more than an hour to remove the rice ears from the two acres of land harvested yesterday.
, all cut off.
The more people we have, the more powerful we are, and we can work faster.
Boss Zheng and his men began to carry the rice ears in the bamboo baskets. Only twelve baskets could be put on the bullock cart at a time. The rest could only be loaded later.
Liu Pan'er drove the bullock cart and asked Li Dabao to stay in the fields. After all, Liu was also there to prevent the villagers from gossiping.
After another six trips back and forth, all the harvested rice ears were finally delivered home.
Li Fang, Li Li and Li Rong, wearing hats to protect themselves from the sun, were turning over the exposed rice ears on the ground with a rake. Some of the rice ears were dry and the rice fell off automatically.
If it doesn't come off automatically, just hit it with a stick a few times and it will come off.
Liu Pan'er cooks for lunch. This morning, there are a lot of eels in a basket at home. Today I will eat stir-fried eels, plus a cold pot of beans and vegetable and egg drop soup.
One meat, one vegetarian and one soup, simple and delicious.
In Liu Pan'er's eyes, this is a simple meal, but in the eyes of Boss Zheng and others, the landlords in their village do not necessarily eat meat twice a day.
After preparing the meal, Liu Pan'er sent it directly to the bamboo shed and asked Li Fang to watch. She drove the bullock cart and the people in the ground came down to eat.
When Li Dabao saw his mother at the bottom of the terraces, he immediately said to Boss Zheng and others: "Everyone carries a basket of rice ears down, and we will go back for dinner."
Mr. Zheng laughed and said, "Little boss, we can actually eat in the fields, and after eating, we can work."
Li Dabao waved his hand, "No, my mother said, there is a total of one hour for lunch and rest. Don't delay. If you finish your meal early, you can still sleep for a while. After all, you got up early in the morning and you must be sleepy now."
.”
Boss Zheng was stunned. He was indeed very tired at this time, but he was not too hungry because he had eaten well in the morning. After working as a part-time and long-term worker in so many households, he had never been able to take an hour's rest at noon.
Some people wish they were asked to work while eating.
Boss Zheng saw that there was a carrying pole that could carry two baskets at a time, so everyone got down twelve baskets together.
Liu Paner saw that Boss Zheng was carrying two baskets at a time on a pole, which could reduce the number of trips up and down. After all, one basket of rice ears weighed thirty or forty kilograms, and two baskets weighed seventy or eighty kilograms, which was not too heavy.
Liu Pan'er and Mrs. Liu drove the oxcart home, and Li Dabao took Mr. Zheng to the bamboo shed.
There are already three pots on the small table, one pot of fried eel, one pot of cold beans, one pot of vegetable and egg drop soup, and a bucket of rice on the side.
Boss Zheng swallowed his saliva. He originally thought he had a good lunch, but he didn't expect that his lunch would be even better.
Li Dabao greeted everyone to eat, "Uncle Zheng, you hurry up and eat. After eating, you can rest here and cool down. There are huts over there. The hut to the east is for men, and the one to the west is for women. Don't go wrong.
Okay. I’ll come back and ask you all to go to the ground together in an hour.”
"Okay, little boss, that's great." Mr. Zheng replied with a smile and was very attentive.
After Li Dabao finished explaining, he followed his sister Li Fang home for dinner.
Watching them leave, Zheng Laosan held his rice bowl and said to his elder brother while eating: "Brother, this family is really nice. It would be great if I could always work here."
Boss Zheng also nodded, "Then let's work hard. I've also seen other things grown in this village. You don't have to be cheap, just take them if you find them novel. This village is not simple, and there are actually government officials patrolling it.
Let’s work hard and talk less.”
Several people came out to work with Boss Zheng. Although they were curious, they were more convinced of Boss Zheng and did not dare to do anything wrong.
Common people have a natural fear of official officials and do not dare to offend them.
After dinner, Mr. Zheng asked his two younger brothers to wash the dishes and put them in the basket. They took turns going to the toilet. Those who didn't go had to clean the door of the bamboo shed and tidy the bedding inside the bamboo shed.
It's great to have such a place to live.
I got up before dawn in the morning. Now I am really sleepy and tired. After eating and drinking enough, I lay on the bed and fell asleep in a short while.
When the villagers learned that Liu Paner's family hired people to work, they expressed their understanding. However, when they saw the eight hired workers sleeping in the bamboo shed, they immediately started talking about it.
"The Yuan Qing family is made up of women and children. These men are deliberately lazy and bully others."
"That is, whose employees can eat well, drink well, and sleep?"
