The people who went to work in Beiguan Village were selected. A total of eighteen people were found, all of whom were in their prime.
Twenty coins per person per day, this was the usual price Song Chen and his family paid to workers.
Also take care of a lunch.
Of course, not every household in Beiguan Village has something to do now. There are still a few households who do not work in workshops or in the mountains or fields.
Lin Maofeng thought that he was still from Beiguan Village after all, and had no other major faults except being lazy and fond of cheating and cheating, so he talked to Song Chen and brought two handymen over.
Responsible for delivering water to people on the construction site, and sometimes helping when needed.
Ten cents a day.
This kind of work is not tiring, and you don't need to work on the construction site all the time, so cheating and cheating will not have much impact on Song Chen.
It just so happens that it also saves face.
There was no need to make new drawings for Master Li's house. Song Chen directly made them based on the courtyard where Master Li now lives in their house.
It's just that the area has doubled and the functions are more complete.
Master Li himself had no objections. After all, he had become completely accustomed to this way of life while living at Song Chen's house.
It is also the most comfortable and comfortable for him.
Eighteen laborers plus two masters should be able to complete this house in very little time.
On the first day of construction, a small groundbreaking ceremony was held, and Master Li laid the foundation stone himself.
This is a matter of particular importance, and the ancients were even more particular about it.
Chen Yun secretly made a note of it, and asked Master Li to lay the foundation stone when the school started construction in the future.
Eighteen people from Wangcun were divided into three groups and began digging the foundation.
"Brothers, let's work hard. Maybe there will be more work to do in the future."
"Yes, you have to let others do the work. The Song family also takes care of a meal, and the wages are five yuan more than in the town. It would be great if this kind of work could be done every day."
"If you work hard, you will get it. I think Song Chen will definitely have a lot of things to do in the future. It will definitely not be just this little thing now. Maybe we will be like Shiping Village."
Everyone is very motivated and puts every ounce of their energy into willingly doing this work here. They seem to have thought that they already have a bright future.
A bright future like the people of Beiguan Village.
In the past, the people they envied were the people in the town who lived in big houses and had no worries about food and drink. Every time they went to the town to find work, they saw those people passing by them with disdainful eyes.
I just wish I could shrink into a ball.
Shrink so that others cannot see it.
But no matter how much they envy them, they know that they can't live such a life, because they have no idea what those people in the town do for a living.
I've never seen it or experienced it, so I can't imagine it.
So I can only always look up.
"But the people in Beiguan Village are really lucky. Who would have thought at the beginning?"
"Who says it isn't?"
Things are different now. The objects of their envy have become the people of Beiguan Village. These people were just like them before. They had no enough food to eat and no warmth to wear. They also felt like they had no end to their lives.
Then, Song Chen's workshop was set up, and most of the people in the village could work there. After earning ten taels of silver a year, they could take care of their family's farmland.
What they worry about no longer is whether they have enough to eat or whether they have enough clothes to wear.
The expressions on their faces are also completely different. Nowadays, it is rare to see sadness on the faces of people in Beiguan Village. They always smile when they meet.
We are all countrymen, and we all struggled with life and death in the same way.
This change in Beiguan Village is a change that the people of Wangcun can see, and is something they can imagine and expect.
Compared to those in the town, Beiguan Village is closer to them and gives them more hope that they can one day live the same life.
Instead of looking up at the illusory life that you can't see.
Wang Dazhu listened to them talking while working, and his hands moved faster.
Who doesn’t look forward to a bright future?
Now he still has his parents who are in poor health to support, and he also wants to marry a wife in two years.
It’s a man’s dream to have his wife and son on the hot bed.
At noon, the meals prepared by the Song family were delivered directly to the construction site, and four or five people walked over one after another.
The two people walking at the front each held a basket, both covered with a clean cotton cloth.
The two people behind are carrying large porcelain basins like washbasins.
The last person was carrying a frame of dishes and chopsticks.
As they got closer and closer, the gluttons in each of their stomachs were being aroused.
"I smell meat again. The last time I ate meat was when we were setting up a flowing banquet at the Song family. Is there meat to eat again today?"
"I smelled it too. I heard that the lunches prepared by the Song family for the people who worked in Beiguan Village were all meaty. We should be fine with them."
"There must be meat. I can smell meat too."
The people who came to work in Wangcun stretched their necks to wait for the Song family's meals. When they finally approached, they laid out their things and shouted to eat.
All the people came up.
The meals that were previously covered with cotton cloth to avoid being stained with dust on the road now had their cotton cloths lifted off, and everyone in Wang Village could clearly see the lunch that the Song family had prepared for them.
There were white steamed buns as big as a fist, large chunks of meat visible, and a jar of soup stewed with meat bones.
"It's really meat. Look, it's really meat."
Seeing this, they became excited. They really wanted to do this job every day. They would have money to earn and meat to eat. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
"Let's see, let's see, this is the first time I've seen people working and eating meat in other people's homes. It's indeed the Song family."
The people who brought the meals included Lin Maofeng who hired him as a handyman, and Song Chen and others who hired him to specialize in cooking. Everyone laughed when they heard what they said.
"The Song family's lunch has always been like this. We have always made lunch for them. They are very good to the people who work."
"That's right, my Beiguan Village is much better than your Wang Village."
The person who said the last sentence was a handyman, and the people in Wangcun didn't care about him. They all received their bowls and came to pick up the food.
"You can just grab the steamed buns and make sure you're full. If you don't have enough vegetables or soup, you can add more. There are plenty of things prepared here. Just open it up and eat until you're full. The Song family has said that if you don't have enough food, you won't have the energy to work."
My dear, if you have enough to eat and do your job well, there will be more opportunities in the future."
