Tang Zangyue smiled and said: "I believe the village chief is sensible about this."
Even if the other party doesn't have it, she can break the contract without anyone else.
Tang Zangyue: "I usually pay wages, but I won't be planting food next year, so I will tidy up the crops in the field, and I will give you food at the end of the year. The only requirements are that you are honest, obedient, agile and strong."
Generally, when landowners hire long-term workers, they pay them, but they don't care about your food problem. These long-term workers either have insufficient farmland at home and have a lot of strong labor, so they need to work on their own as long-term workers to subsidize the family's food. There are also those who have no land and need to work at the end of the year.
I have to go to town to buy food.
For example, Shopkeeper Chu is kind and pays wages, but if you want to buy grain, you can buy it at the internal price. The rice dumpling is just a multi-grain steamed bun that is not very filling.
I never expected that the Xiao family would provide both wages and food!
And such good things...
If there was no farm work at home, the village chief would have asked his sons to do it.
The village chief asked tentatively: "How much food will be given at the end of the year?"
Tang Zangyue didn't hide it, and clearly marked the price: "The harvest is good, the maximum is two hundred kilograms of coarse grains per person, the harvest is average, I guess it is only a few dozen kilograms."
Two hundred pounds!
Tears of envy flowed down the corners of the village chief's mouth.
Village chief: "Okay, I'll help you organize it then. How many people do you need?"
"Look for those who meet the requirements, but in the end I only need no more than five people."
"okay."
"By the way, Village Chief, I'm not here during this period, so Sister Zhang is helping me pack fresh vegetables at home. It just so happens that after returning from training this time, our Xiao family will open a shop and make other things to make a living, so we need manpower. Village Chief, you see
It depends on which daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law of yours is quick and handy, she might as well come over and help. As for the salary, it will be settled every month, about one tael of silver, and if the business is good in the future, it can be increased appropriately."
One tael of silver a month! Twelve taels of silver at the end of the year!
For ordinary farmers in their village, the family does not exceed ten taels all year round! One daughter-in-law can support the family's income! This is without selling one's body or working as a lowly maid or maid!
Why don't you make the village chief jealous?
Why don't you ask the village chief to be grateful?!
Tang Zangyue: "It's not that I don't take care of Sister Zhang, it's just that when there are more people in the stall, the person guarding the stall needs to be quick-witted and quick-footed. Look at me, I am old, so I give advice to Sister Liu.
I will never interfere, for fear that I will be confused, miscalculate the accounts, or give too much, and make a loss-making transaction.
The young lady is still clear-headed and can keep up with the progress of the stall. But... Village Chief, I have to figure it out with you. From now on, this stall will have to do breakfast business, and you have to get up early, otherwise you will not be able to make it in time..."
"No problem, what's the problem! I'll go back and discuss it with my family right now, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow, Madam!"
Tang Zangyue smiled slightly, "It doesn't have to be so fast. I still need to prepare some things. The village chief will give me an answer in a few days."
After signing the deed for the land, Tang Zangyue led the two brothers away.
Xiao Zhonglu and Xiao Zhongli looked at each other. Xiao Zhongli said, "Grandma, what should we do?"
Tang Zangyue: "I've been cutting firewood on the mountain these days..."
"The woodshed is full."
Tang Zangyue said decisively: "Then read more books. I bought a lot of books during this trip. You can read more. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. When the permanent worker is decided, you will be responsible for supervising the work.
When you have free time, help the younger brothers and sisters below to learn more about Chinese characters, and don’t worry about anything else."
The two responded: "Yes, grandma."
Tang Zangyue asked his two brothers to boil some hot water, boil it, pour it into a bucket, cover it, put it in the cellar to freeze, and then went to town alone.
She first went to the carpenter's home, drew a few specifications of things, and asked him to build them. Then she went to the blacksmith's shop and inquired about the selling price of the bronzes, and finally went to the market to buy a carriage.
A horse + carriage cost her 50 taels of silver.
When I went back, I went to the shop twice more and found two bronze vessels in the blacksmith shop. It would take a few days for the gold carpenter to make what she needed.
As soon as the bronze was on the carriage, she took it into the space. Finally, she looked at the sun and drove the carriage to find Aunt Liu and the others.
Aunt Liu had just closed the stall here and was about to use a cart to push the jar to the town entrance to wait for Uncle Zhao. From a distance, she saw a carriage and an ox cart side by side. The people on the carriage and Uncle Zhao were chatting about something.
As I got closer, I discovered——
"Mother?"
Tang Zangyue glanced at a few people, then jumped out of the carriage, helped Aunt Liu carry the empty vat, and said: "Uncle Zhao and I discussed a few words, and he will help drive the carriage in the future. After all, the main thing is the cattle."
Its function is to plow the fields. We can’t make it convenient for our Xiao family and tire out the descendants of Uncle Zhao’s family, right?”
Not only that, she also left a place for Uncle Zhao's son as a long-term worker. As for Uncle Zhao helping to drive the carriage... there was no money, after all, the carriage belonged to the Xiao family.
Xiao Yuenong's eyes were bright. The carriage was bought by her mother, which meant that her mother had completely listened to what she said last night...
As for Uncle Zhao, when he heard about the Xiao family's salary for recruiting long-term workers, he immediately agreed. Anyway, driving a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-drawn cart, it didn't matter to him. The main thing was to find a future for his son.
Even though Uncle Zhao is old, his eyes and brain are bright enough. He can tell that everyone in the Xiao family is not an ordinary person, and if he follows along, he can always find a way out.
No, without the income from the bullock cart, people are willing to recruit their sons as long-term workers, and they will also be provided with food at the end of the year. Who can provide such a good treatment?
Sister Ling had been playing with Tiehua under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village early. When she heard the noise, she ignored her turn and looked towards the source of the sound of the rolling wheels.
Wow--
"It's a carriage."
"Which family's carriage is it? From Sister Xue's family? Or from Shopkeeper Chu's family?"
"Seems to be……"
"From Doctor Tang's house!"
Sister Ling's legs ran very fast, as if there were small fire wheels embedded in her feet, stirring up a burst of sand and dust, and finally stopped when she approached the carriage.
Because she remembered her grandmother's warning.
But he stopped and didn't rush to the front of the carriage.
She didn't make a mistake.
Immediately, Sister Ling raised her little tail and shook it, her breasts were full of milk, and she looked like she was waiting for praise.
Tang Zangyue tightened the reins, jumped off the carriage, tucked Sister Ling under her arm, and successfully got on the carriage again.
He said to a group of curious children: "There is a tank on the carriage. If you want to see the horses, wait until you get to our yard and you can see as much as you want."
Great--
Tang Zangyue drove slowly, and when she arrived at her yard, she and Aunt Liu took the time to move the vat, and asked Sister Ling to entertain the village children.
Sister Ling is so happy that she is so happy.
I am not angry with my grandmother at all for leaving without saying goodbye.
The moment I saw my grandmother come back, I felt more aggrieved than angry.
When I saw the shell bracelet given by my grandmother, I was more surprised than aggrieved.
I bought a carriage when I saw it, showing off is better than surprising!
Sister Ling puffed up her little chest, then like a little leader, raised her round chin, and commanded: "Come one by one! Line up, all line up!"
