What I didn't expect was that something went wrong again.
Mao Dexing, the dog-skin plaster, didn't know where he got the news. Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu were stopped by him when they were in the county town.
The information about this dog-skin plaster was inaccurate. He thought that Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu were also stewards of the "mysterious big boss" family.
Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu didn't know about the "Mysterious Big Boss" yet. Zhao Liya and Hu Ling didn't think of telling him about it for a while.
When Mao Dexing came up to please him with a smile on his face, some said a lot, which made them confused.
It wasn't until Hu Ling came back from shopping that he said nonchalantly that these were his parents. Mao Dexing's face suddenly turned red and purple. It was wonderful.
When we stayed at the hotel in the evening, Hu Ling had the opportunity to tell his parents a few things about the "mysterious big boss". Uncle Hu and his wife laughed and sighed.
What makes me laugh is that it is difficult for the young lady to come up with such a way to cover up. What makes me sigh is that the young lady has no choice but to do this, which is really pitiful.
Fortunately they are here and it will definitely get better and better in the future.
After Uncle Hu and the others came back, they told Zhao Liya and others about this, and everyone was laughing!
They all say that Mao Dexing is probably crazy!
Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu came back from the provincial capital seven days later, bringing back twenty servants, ranging in age from thirteen to sixteen years old.
Although it is a remote place, the provincial capital still looks like a provincial capital. It is very lively and prosperous, and there are many merchants traveling from north to south. It is not difficult to buy the servants you like in Yahang.
Uncle Hu specially picked and bought half-grown ones like this, so that they were not too young to be able to do anything, and not too old to be disciplined.
This one is just right. If you teach it more and train it for two or three years, it will be of great use. It will be more loyal than an adult who buys it directly.
Although the master holds the deed of betrayal in his hand and is not afraid of them turning the world upside down, it might be easier, of course it would be better to be easier.
These twenty people had various names, it was difficult to remember them, so the master gave them new names.
They bought it in the name of the Hu family. Zhao Liya discussed with her parents, Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu, and simply let them all have the surname Hu, from Hu 1 to Hu 20, and each of them embroidered a finger-sized one.
Pin the name tag on your clothes for now.
At least I'll make everyone recognize me.
There are also three families, Fang Mo and his wife with three children, a family of five, Zhang Shitou and his wife, and Qi Sanguan and his wife, all in their thirties.
Everyone was arranged to live in a large courtyard near the school.
There are small courtyards in the big courtyard, and there are also large terraced houses with bungalows. They can all be accommodated in it. Including Han San and Han Si who originally lived there, the house is not even a quarter full.
"Uncle Hu is a must. Aunt Hu has to worry about it. After these people get familiar with the place, they will send them errands. They mainly guard a few workshops, manage the pig farms, and patrol the industry. You don't have to go every day to patrol.
You should be more diligent in going to the sugar cane fields. You can just wait for the harvest season to visit other places."
Uncle Hu was full of energy and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Aya, your aunt and I will arrange these things and keep them safe."
"Well, with you two here, of course we can rest assured!"
Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu gave these twenty people some simple training and instruction, and then made arrangements for the same. The night shift of the workshop was done by a fixed number of people, as was the patrol.
Qi Sanguan and Zhang Shitou's daughter-in-law were responsible for cooking, and they were responsible for guarding the gate and cleaning. Fang Mo's family was responsible for the pig farm.
Aunt Hu is in charge of matters in the compound and the pig farm.
On weekdays, when there was nothing else to do, Aunt Hu would go to the village to do sewing and gardening with Mrs. Deng, Widow Qu, and Aunt Li Shiyi.
It was inconvenient to travel without a car, so Uncle Hu bought two more donkeys and a cart. Qi Sanguan, Zhang Shitou, and Fang Mo all learned to drive the carts, with Qi Sanguan taking the lead, and he and Zhang Shitou took turns feeding the donkeys.
In daily life, if you need help with something in the school, just come over and say something, and Uncle Hu will arrange for someone to do it.
Aunt Hu was addicted to growing vegetables. She saw that there was a lot of wasteland next to the big yard, and it was a pity that it was wasted. So she simply took Qi Sanguan and their daughters-in-law to reclaim a lot of the wasteland and plant some common food.
vegetable.
In a blink of an eye, the potatoes are almost ripe.
Zhao Liya decided to give it a try first.
On this day, Zhao Liya and the others randomly pulled out a few plants from the potato field in Bajiao Village and harvested a lot of money. The potatoes in the ground have grown up. The big ones are as big as fists, and the small ones are as big as duck eggs. Under one tree
Five or six, or even eight or nine, just pull out a few and fill a basket, not to mention how gratifying it is.
In the evening, the family made a potato dinner, spicy and sour potato shreds, three delicacies, roasted chicken with potatoes, fried potato pancakes, and braised pork ribs with potatoes and tomatoes. Everyone had a delicious meal.
Uncle Hu sighed with satisfaction: "Hey, we really came to the right place. Who said Lingnan is remote and uninhabitable? It must be because of poor taste! Such delicious food can't be found anywhere else!"
Aunt Hu also smiled and nodded: "No, there are so many good things that I haven't eaten here! In addition to such delicious potatoes, there are also tomatoes, so many fruits, and so many delicious dishes. Oh, don't
I’ve really never seen this place before!”
Everyone laughed when he said that.
There are indeed many kinds of fruits. As for the various dishes, of course many of them are made by the cooperation of Zhao Liya and Shu Yan. For example, boiled pork slices, Buddha jumps over the wall, ginger chicken, sweet and sour pork loin, coconut chicken, etc., not all of them are
One and only.
Everyone has tasted the delicious potatoes. They are good and ready to be harvested.
We made an appointment with Li Zheng and the clan leader of Bajiao Village to start digging the day after tomorrow, so that Li Zheng and the others could prepare.
Zhao Liya and others planned to hire 230 people to harvest potatoes. One hundred and fifty-six people were responsible for digging, and each prepared their own hoes and baskets. About 40 people poured the potatoes they dug into large baskets and carried them to the roadside.
Concentrated emissions.
There are dozens of people responsible for carrying the baskets of potatoes onto hired oxcarts, transporting them to the potato workshop, sorting, and storing them. The Zhao family has people giving guidance throughout the process, and Zhao Liya and others will all join the battle.
The hired accountant who is already on duty will take people to weigh and register the baskets at the potato workshop.
The wages, of course, will not be short for everyone. Thirty cash per person per day. If you are caught deliberately slacking off, stealing, etc., and the evidence is conclusive, you will be paid enough for the day, and the stolen goods will be confiscated, but you will not need to come again tomorrow or in the future.
.
In addition to the need for manpower for harvesting, manpower is also needed in the potato workshop. Uncle Hu asked Hu Wu, Hu Liu, Hu Eleven, and Hu Twelve to be responsible for the potato workshop from now on.
Except for them, all the remaining personnel were recruited in Bajiao Village.
