Chapter 150
Lin Xiaoman didn't have to worry about two days, Lu Jin sent another group of exiles to Hedong Village, and asked Lin Xiaoman to pick them up before they settled down.Lin Xiaoman picked the rest and asked Lin Daqiang to distribute them.

Soon all of these people were registered as residents of Hedong Village.

The house that was vacated after the Xu family moved out happened to be used by these new arrivals.

Compared with the more than 300 people brought by the Xu family's relatives back then, the ones sent this time are composed of several households. I am not afraid that they will unite to oppress the original residents of Hedong Village.

As soon as people moved in, they were arranged by Lin Daqiang to help in the fields of various households. The wages of [-] Wen per person per day and two meals a day were paid by the employer.

So some people stopped doing it, "Patriarch, why did the Xu family work for Xiaoman's family at the beginning with wages and food and drink from the government, and when we come to us, we have to go out of our own house?"

Lin Daqiang asked: "Lin Dazhuang, did you just say that your family wants to hire someone?"

Lin Dazhuang was speechless when he was asked, his face was blushing and his neck was thick, and finally he said: "Yes!"

Lin Daqiang snorted: "You have a lot of shit. Who doesn't know that when the county magistrate treated the Xu family, it was because Mr. Xu was his husband, and the money was paid by the adults, just to let Xiaoman's family treat Mr. Xu. Take care of one or two."

Lin Dazhuang was dissatisfied, "Then we can also take care of Mr. Xu, why don't we let the Xu family work for my family?"

This time Lin Daqiang was amused, "Why are you taking care of me? You don't know what your family eats? Why didn't you cook an extra mouthful of pig food? Could it be that you still want Mr. Xu to eat pig food with your family?"

Lin Dazhuang's face turned even redder when he was told, and he secretly scolded his daughter-in-law's stingy things to make him ashamed, but he had to admit that the food at Lin Xiaoman's family was really good, and he didn't know what Lin Xiaoman cooked. Where did you learn everything?Her mother didn't seem to be so good at cooking back then.

Seeing that he was speechless, Lin Daqiang snorted, "Your family earned a lot of money by planting peppers, tomatoes and potatoes this year with Xiaoman's family, right? My lord hasn't said that you will be charged too much for your land tax, so why do you still have to hire people to do the work?" ?”

Lin Dazhuang didn't dare to say any more, because he was afraid that what Lin Daqiang said would hit the mark. If it got to the ears of the county magistrate, and the adult would give him small shoes to wear, what would he do if he said that his family made a lot of money and had to charge more land taxes?

Seeing that Lin Dazhuang stopped talking, Lin Daqiang beat the villagers again, telling them not to think about what they had if they earned money, because they really offended Xiaoman and adults by saying that they owed money, and told them not to come cry to myself.

Everyone understands this truth. Now most people in the village have earned money, even the man from Aunt Wang's family who offended Lin Xiaoman has earned a lot. Except for a few families without labor, only Xiaoman's grandparents The family did not make any money.

But at this time, not to mention sympathizing with them, not following the trend to step on them is because they are old and have a few years to live.

Lin Xiaoman took the people she selected to familiarize themselves with the situation in the field first, and did not hurry to let them go to work, but let them drink porridge for a few days to nourish their bodies and adjust their stomachs, lest they have not done much work. , People get tired first.

Fortunately, the bodies she picked were relatively strong, and after a few days of raising them, their faces were all radiant.

After a few days, they started harvesting sweet potatoes. The members of Lin Xiaoman's family were indeed stronger than others and worked harder.

A joke, it's not like they didn't inquire about it, how can anyone who came with them eat better than them?I heard that many people eat brown rice and porridge with wild vegetables that the host does not eat.

Really don't work hard, what should the master do if he wants to change?
The big red-skinned sweet potatoes were dug out one by one, and Lin Xiaoman loved it so much. Whether it was eaten steamed, steamed, or porridge, it was delicious and sweet, especially when it was roasted.

After harvesting the sweet potatoes, several hired workers in Lin Xiaoman's family were doing well, but many hired workers in the village were exhausted. Fortunately, Lin Daqiang went to the city to hire a doctor and no one was killed.

But at the same time, the family who exhausted the hired workers was also given a scolding by Lin Daqiang. They only earn [-] yuan a day, so they don't treat people like livestock, and they don't even have enough food.

When the news got out, outsiders could still think that Hedong Village is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den. Who would want to come to the village to help with work in the future?

The people who were being trained couldn't hold their heads up, and several employees of his family also approached Lin Daqiang, wanting to help other people's families.

Lin Daqiang agreed after a few words of persuasion. Anyway, every family is short of manpower. This family doesn't treat them well, and they can't let them work hard for them, right?
Rice and corn will be harvested in the future, and he doesn't want to see someone exhausted to death in Hedong Village.

After the sweet potatoes were harvested, several families built carts, built clay stoves on them, and pushed the carts to sell roasted sweet potatoes in the city.

A pound of roasted sweet potatoes sells for [-] Wen, not to mention that they are quite easy to sell, and the supply exceeds the demand every day.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, another restaurant in the city came to the village to collect sweet potatoes, and a catty of sweet potatoes cost twenty yuan.Those who sell roasted sweet potatoes will settle accounts, and there will be [-]% of a catty of sweet potatoes left after roasting. It will be troublesome to sell them in the county, so it is better to sell them directly to restaurants.

Some people saw that sweet potatoes were valuable, so they sold all the sweet potatoes at home, and only waited for the food to be available to buy more food.

As before, most of the sweet potatoes in Lin Xiaoman's family were bought by Lu Jin, leaving only some Lin Xiaoman to eat for himself.

After the newcomers entered the village, all the members of the Xu family except Brother Xu Qiuliang's house were assigned to help in Lin Xiaoman's field.

The wages were still paid by Lu Jin. To this, Lu Jin only said: "You have brought new grain and new species for the court. You deserve these. After a while, the court's rewards will be yours."

Lin Xiaoman was very moved, but he didn't know what to say about the fact that he sent him some food that he couldn't find in the north every now and then. He couldn't say that the things he sent were not fresh?The food she ate over there was better than the ones he brought, maybe he had never seen the type of food he ate, right?
Well, she has to accept the lord's wishes, otherwise, after she really promised him to be together in the future, he thought he didn't like him giving things, so he wouldn't give them away?
After doing farm work for several days, Lin Xiaoman was exhausted and didn't want to cook when he was free.A pot of eggplant, potato and sweet potato was cooked in a big pot, and a lot of green cob corn was cooked under the pot.

At this time, the green sticks are not as tender as before, but Lin Xiaoman prefers this kind of slightly hard taste, mainly because this kind of fast-ripening corn resists hunger, unlike the small tender corn, which is full and hungry again after a while.

After cooking, mix the eggplant and potatoes into a pot, add fried egg sauce, and put shredded shallots and coriander in it. Lu Jin eats it with frown, and from time to time, he takes another bite of sweet potato and an ear of corn, and then drinks it by the side of the bowl. A mouthful of corn gruel.

Lin Xiaoman was so hungry: This man is really easy to support.
