Chapter 164
"How much does Tian Xin'er pay?"

The woman who asked the question stared at her granddaughter, who usually didn't show much attention at home. She didn't understand how Tian Xin'er fell in love with this stupid person.Compared to other granddaughters, this one can't beat her with a stick.If it's returned, it's better to get a smart one.

"After all is done, each person will receive four hundred copper coins."

"How much?!" The mother-in-law was confused. The man in the family went out to carry goods and worked hard, and sometimes he couldn't earn this even after walking for a month or two.

As soon as these words came out, questions came one after another.

"How long will it take to do it all? Do you want to give out copper coins every day, or do you do it until the end?"

The girl who answered was called Hongzao. Seeing the whole family looking at her in shock, they didn't even want to eat. She could only put down her chopsticks and replied carefully:
"Sister Tian Xin'er said that it's not certain how long we'll be working. It's a guaranteed job. If our group is quick and things go well, there may be no work left in half a month. We can just wait for it to dry. But if things don't go well, , it doesn’t necessarily have to be 30 to [-] days.”

Hong Zao was suddenly pinched by her aunt, and said hurriedly: "It's all about the sky. Let's pay some wages every day for thirty days, and settle the bill that night."

What Hongzao didn't tell her family was that Tian Xin knew that these girls had never touched money, so they didn't bother to give them copper coins every day.He also said that in this way, they can happily touch the fruits of a day's work every night when they go to bed, feel down-to-earth and energetic, and go to sleep happily looking forward to the morning.

It is common in the village for girls to have never touched money, which is one of the reasons why many young girls are anxious to get married.

Only when most girls get married can they be the masters of their own family and have access to the money that belongs to their own family.

Even though Hong Zao had imagined that she wouldn't be able to keep it until she fell asleep, but if she could take it back and touch it all the way, she could still show it to her father, right?
However, what makes Hongzao most happy is that during the working days, the Xu family has food and shelter for five days.

They were told to stay away from home for five days and to live in the Xu family's new house.

These girls have only heard of the four big houses of the Xu family that they have never seen before, and secretly envied them, but they really didn't dare to think that they would live in them one day.

I have long heard that Grandma Xu’s cooking is delicious and can be spread far and wide, so she will have the opportunity to try it.

Five days was enough for her to catch her breath, without having to face the fact that her family was already poor, and she was scolded and pinched every day after the house collapsed.

Hongzao has no mother, just like Xu Tianxin'er, she collapsed within two years of giving birth and died.Her aunts and uncles always taught her a lesson as an elder. Fortunately, she still had a biological father.

But in the eyes of Hongzao's father, although his daughter has a father left, he is not as good as Xu Jiatian Xin'er.

Because some fathers are alive, they don't count at home, and the baby is still wronged like a dead father.

And some fathers die, but they are still legends many years later, and ordinary people can't fight it.I heard that even the old lady of the Xu family didn't dare to say anything bad when she saw Xu Youtian hugging her daughter and laughing. She just praised her a few times.

At this time, Hongzao's father was very touched that Xu's family could give his daughter a hand, so that after the child earns money, he will be well-received at home and eat more.

Hearing this, he said: "You work hard and you will be responsible for food and shelter for five days. Maybe you are too tired to go home. You must be diligent and don't be sent back."

When Hongzao's aunts, aunts and cousins ​​heard this, they couldn't hold back their jealousy. Who would treat him to a meal for nothing? He would be exhausted to death just to be paid such a high salary and still take care of the meal.

But Hongzao felt that this was not the case. When Tian Xin'er's sister said she was in charge of the food, her tone was normal. She also said that they would use it as a kang at night, live together, and use the water pipes to test the bath together.

Hongzao believed that Sister Tian Xin'er didn't want to exhaust them to death, but wanted them to take the opportunity to eat for a few days.

Yes, Hongzao’s sixth sense is very accurate.

Another reason why Xu Tianxin is in charge of the five-day meal is that her mother will select a few days to teach which family to cook.

When the time comes, she will cook it once, and those who are learning will do it once or even twice, because they want to see how many bowls they can sell if they make a big pot.

Grandma said that her family had already planned to invite the builder of the house to have a meal.

She also said that she would treat the working girls to her family’s share.The girls here are miserable. Look at the list you made, and they are all unpopular in the family. They must not have enough to eat.

But what is eaten truly belongs to the girls. How much money they are given is just a pass, and it is far better to cook a meal as a reward for hard work, so that the little girls can have more strength to work.

That's the way it is.

But there were many other people talking to the Hongzao family that night. They were both jealous and confused about such high wages.

The confused person asked: "What do you want to do tomorrow morning?"

"Follow the car to Chaluhe Village." The famous salt-alkali land in Chaluhe Village.The most famous thing there is that there are many wild castor seeds.

In the past few years, the situation has been bad, and poor people in the village will go to Chaluhe Village to pick castor beans.

Grind the castor with a stone mill, boil it with water, and a layer of oil will emerge.No matter how advanced the craft is, people in the village will not know it.At this point, save the layer of oil for the stew.

Although if you don't eat it well, it can poison people. Many people have died and others have been poisoned.But the real poor don't eat oil all year round, and they don't have any oil or water in their stomachs, so they can't care about that much.

I always pick up some castor for cooking throughout the year.

But this is what makes the villagers feel strange.I heard that hiring people is not for making bath beans and laundry soap?Why do you still need to use oil?Who can use oil to clean their face and clothes? Isn’t this nonsense?
If you don't need oil, what can you do with castor beans?

"I understand, eat it and give it to the caravan."

"Quickly pull it down. There are no such heartless people in our village. Although we can eat it ourselves, we must not give it to outsiders, in case it is poisoned."

At the same time, the Xu family was also discussing passionately.

The eldest brother of Lao Wan's family said: "I understand, if I make a pork belly casserole, I should stew fish heads, stew tofu and serve with fried pancakes for takeout."

Mrs. Xu patted the kang mat and said, "What you said is so right. I don't use fish heads at home, and I don't use them too much. Then I can sell the fish heads to you at a cheap price, and we can split them between the two families."

When her family makes fish floss, there will always be a lot of fish heads left over.

The eldest brother of the Lao Wan family added: "I can also make fish balls and stewed tofu."

Mrs. Xu: "Yes, my family also sells fish balls. I can wholesale them directly for you to save trouble. You can just come in and cook."

Wang Yusheng smiled and rubbed his hands, and hesitated a little embarrassedly: "Auntie, can you help my family think about it? You always say that we make pickled cabbage soup with pie, but what kind of filling is it? We need to save costs and make money at the same time. money."

Mrs. Xu looked at everyone and said seriously: "If you want to make oily stuffing, you can't include vegetarian stuffing. Even if you want to save costs on your pancakes, you still need to put oil and meat in a big pot of pickled cabbage soup."

She used her eldest son as an example.

Her eldest son was favored by others and went out to sell goods. He traveled back and forth for several months.After coming back, he married a wife and added land to his family.

So don't underestimate those who sell goods. From now on, they will be collectively known as escorts.

"After that trip, they earned at least dozens of taels. Especially since we are selling overseas, we are not just a small businessman dumping a few trucks of goods from the prefecture to the county. It is conceivable that after one trip, every person How much will be the reward?

And what I want to say is, compared to ordinary people like us, those who are ordinary escorts are not poor, do you understand?
You give people food without oil and water, it is cold, but after finally reaching the foothold, you eat clear soup with little water, it will be strange to come back next time.I don't want to run to my house then, I hope we can all make money. "

The other families nodded after hearing this, but the difficulties faced by the Wang family were real.First, he borrowed money from the Xu family to buy land and build a house, which depleted his family's financial resources. Now that he is opening a restaurant, he needs to save some food, salt, seasonings and buy pots, which is another big expense.

Wang Yusheng's family was hoarding pork for food, but the situation really didn't allow it, and how much money had to be sold for it to be cost-effective. He wanted Mrs. Xu to give her some ideas to save money and retain customers.

Mrs. Xu really had a good idea: "You can use oil to stew cabbage and sauerkraut, and you can also use oil to make meat and bake pies. Including those of you who make lunch boxes, you can also use oil to stir-fry. It's better to use oil to stir-fry than buying suet. and ready-made oil, and it’s a good deal to buy pork.”

"But where is the grease?" No one could buy suet, so they went to the pork stall and followed each other to their homes.

"Yes!" Mrs. Xu thought to herself. Her granddaughter is about to make soap and boil lard every day.

However, her granddaughter also mixes castor oil and rapeseed oil to save costs.I heard that it is better to mix vegetable oil and animal oil to make soap. Animal oil is stable, the soap locust will not deform, and vegetable oil can remove stains better.

"I said yes, don't worry." Including Yanba, Mrs. Xu thought to herself, don't worry, just wait for me to come and have a private chat with each other, and everything can be arranged.

Several companies finally breathed a sigh of relief. They could save a lot of costs by just stocking up on oil. This was indeed a clever trick.

As he was talking, Guan Erbald entered the room with a happy face and blue cheekbones.

I've been having a meeting all day and I haven't seen this person.

Mrs. Xu heard that Guan Ertu went to another village to earn money to help people shed blood to identify their relatives. Seeing how well it was made, she guessed that he must have stopped by the cemetery to buy some.

He wants to become an immortal. He always eats the fruit and has no faith at all.

But it was a fall?Could it be that the cheekbones are really blue, not from a fall, but from being beaten?
Guan Ertu didn't have time to talk about himself. If the truth is told, he was really beaten because the family disliked him for drawing too much blood. They said he didn't use blood to identify relatives, but instead came to their house and filled him with blood sausage. They squeezed blood again and again. They couldn't even scold him. no.

Guan Ertu didn't have time to talk about this: "Look who's back?"

Mrs. Xu never settled the bill for Guan Ertu because she had to wait until the full table came back to settle the bill together, otherwise the accounts would be messed up.

So Guan Ertuo was more happy than anyone else to see the table full at this time, but to be honest, when they first met in Lin Zili, he was shocked and almost aggravated his injury.

Because you can tell by looking at Mrs. Xu’s reaction.

"Emma, ​​who are you? The table!"

The whole table is dressed up like a matchmaker, and they travel around selling condoms so that they don't get noticed.It's just that when you are outside, you dress a little rough without cosmetics.

When Master Lin Zhengying saw the table was full, he didn't know which talisman to use to suppress such a ghost.
