On the other side, Hu Si'er and Lin Dazhong went to the village to recruit manpower respectively. Because they were not sure how many people were needed and how long it would take to complete the work, they discussed and decided to find people at the price of one yuan a day.
OK, you can substitute at any time.
Everyone heard that it cost one yuan a day to build roads in the mountains. It was like a shot of chicken blood, and they all signed up very enthusiastically.
There is nothing much to do at home in the winter, so I can find a job to supplement the family income without leaving home. There is simply nothing better than this.
"What? Let my eldest grandson build roads?" After hearing Hu Si'er's words, Mrs. Chen immediately deceived: "Lishu didn't tell you, she asked Baozhu to manage you. We are all a family.
You must be confused as to how it is possible to let him do heavy work."
Hu Si'er coughed slightly in embarrassment: "Auntie, Li Shu asked me to come over and ask my eldest nephew to build the road. She didn't mention management."
Hu Si'er, who lives in the same village, knew very well what kind of temper Mrs. Chen had, and her partiality would go to Nantianmen. If she really followed what Chen Lishu said exactly, there would definitely be some trouble, so he only said it tactfully
Conveyed the meaning of Chen Lishu.
"Impossible, just wait for me to tell Lishu. We are a family after all, so why not have an outsider in the middle?" Old Mrs. Chen said and grabbed the scarf beside the kang.
Hu Si'er: "..." But he is just an outsider.
Mrs. Chen's Gu family and Chen Mantun's family both went to the house and failed to find Chen Lishu. However, they found out another thing that almost made her lungs explode.
That damn girl Chen Lishu left all the road construction matters to Hu Si'er and Lin Dazhong!
"I've never seen anyone with her elbows turned outwards. I'll tell you that this damn girl doesn't have such good intentions. She won't give in if she doesn't piss me off to death!"
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Mistress, who made you angry again?"
Chen Baozhu and Zhang Qin were both waiting for news. Seeing her coming back angrily, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"Who else could it be!" Old Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth with hatred: "I knew she was not a good bird. She tricked us into signing the contract. Her words were better than her singing. Why, thirty yuan a month, her relationship is to make us Baozhu.
If she goes to work as a coolie, all the good things will be left to others. She would rather leave the road construction to Hu Laosi and the others than to our Baozhu."
What if Hu Si'er and Lin Dazhong were so busy working on something that was not beneficial? She wouldn't believe it even to death.
Zhang Chunhua also looked a little unhappy. He had already signed the signature, and it was definitely too late to regret it now. The only plan for now was to hope that Mrs. Chen could find a good job for Chen Baozhu.
"Mom, what should we do now? When has our Baozhu ever done heavy work? You said that this girl Lishu is really good. She has never thought of our Baozhu."
Chen Baozhu said with a face: "Anyway, if you ask me to dig soil and build roads with you, I definitely can't go. The ground is already frozen in this winter. Sincerely, I only pay one dollar a day for so much effort. I'm not treating anyone as a fool."
Are you kidding?"
Mrs. Chen was reluctant to let Chen Baozhu do such a tiring job.
"Don't worry, eldest grandson. When I find that dead girl, I will definitely ask her to arrange a good job for you. Anyway, she will not be home when she goes to school after the year. So she won't leave a large mountain to you. She can leave it to you."
who?"
With Mrs. Chen's assurance, Chen Baozhu's expression finally softened a lot.
…
After Chen Lishu came out of the store, she did not go back to the village directly, but went to the nursery.
As the New Year approaches, there are almost no people coming to inquire about seedlings. People come one after another only in the spring every year, so the staff there were stunned when they heard that Chen Lishu wanted to visit the base.
"Our village wants to develop the mountainous area, so I specially sent me here to see what varieties are suitable for our planting here, and also to inquire about the prices."
Upon hearing that she was coming from the village below, and that it was to develop the barren hills, which would definitely require a lot of seedlings, the staff immediately became more attentive, and even specially called a technician named Zhao to introduce the situation to Chen Lishu.
"What's the situation in your barren mountains? Do you want to plant trees or do you have other needs?" Zhao Guangbin pushed up his glasses and asked while leading Chen Lishu to the base.
"In addition to fruit saplings, the village also wants to plant some medicinal materials."
Zhao Guangbin nodded: "There are not many fruit trees suitable for us in the north. The common ones are sand fruit trees, plum trees and apricot trees. In addition to these three common ones, I also recommend a sea buckthorn tree. It is not only highly adaptable but also cold-resistant. It is very
It’s easy to take care of, and the fruit has many uses, and it also has medicinal value.”
Chen Lishu knew about the common fruit trees, but she really knew very little about the sea buckthorn tree.
"...If you are worried that the benefits will be slow to show in three years, I suggest you can also interplant other medicinal materials. Evening primrose, isatis root and the like are also very good choices."
As they talked, the two quickly arrived at one of the bases. Zhao Guangbin pointed out several of the ones he mentioned to Chen Lishu.
Originally she just wanted to take a look first, but after Zhao Guangbin’s patient explanation, Chen Lishu didn’t expect that she actually learned a lot of agricultural knowledge, and even learned a lot about many plants she had never seen before.
In addition to choosing seedlings, Chen Lishu is most concerned about the price.
After asking about the price in detail, Chen Lishu suddenly felt a bit bitter in her mouth and the smile on her face was a little forced.
Common fruit saplings cost RMB 8 cents a piece, with a starting price of RMB 5,000. Seabuckthorn trees are relatively cheap, priced at RMB 30 a piece, with a starting price of RMB 10,000. There are also other seedlings such as evening primrose and isatis root seedlings. After all, she needs at least
It takes about 10,000 yuan to barely fill up the few empty spaces on the mountain.
This does not include the money she will spend to build a house, a pig house, buy chickens, ducks, goose seedlings and all kinds of labor.
If you add all these together, the budget will be at least 30,000 yuan!
It was almost three o'clock when she came out of the nursery base. Chen Lishu did not dare to delay and walked directly towards the village.
When we got home, it was already dark outside, and Zhang Qin and the others had already prepared dinner.
"Mom, there was an old lady who came over to look for you at home today. The grandmother and the aunt said that you were not here, and she even scolded you." As soon as Ruirui saw her figure, he ran over to complain to her angrily.
.
The old lady can still scold her, but Chen Lishu, the old lady, doesn’t think twice about her at all.
"Third brother and sister, why did you offend your baby? I saw that posture. If you had been there at that time, she would definitely pounce on you and beat you." Liu Yuemin stood by the door holding her child, looking at her with gloating eyes.
