Chapter 42
"Uncle, second uncle, and dad, you will divide the labor among the workers we recruit. To build the greenhouse, we need to clear the land and loosen the soil first. Once Mr. Su delivers the materials, we can insert the frames and pull out the membrane. We will make one with a span of nine meters and a length of 100 meters. As for the How many greenhouses can be built depends on how many can be made with the materials delivered," Qibao said.The four father and son agreed.

Several women at home are still waiting for Qibao to arrange work for them!There were expressions of expectation on everyone's faces. Qibao said, "Grandma, you will be responsible for paying wages from now on. The eldest aunt will keep the accounts from now on. The expenses of the family need to be recorded. The second aunt will send the amount to Zuixian Tower every month." Calculate the number of kilograms of vegetables and which kinds of vegetables. Mom, you can help me and recruit some aunts and women in the village to cook for the workers." Qibao randomly found some things for grandma and the others to do. I want everyone in the family to be able to help, otherwise they will feel uneasy and feel useless, and it will also allow them to practice writing and calculating.

Several boys asked anxiously, "What about me?"

Qibao said, "Brothers, you just need to study hard and practice the techniques I gave you."

Everyone in the family has work to do and they feel more energetic about their work. Their days are getting more promising.

At dawn the next day, Mr. Xu and Mr. Wang went to the village chief and told him the matter. The village chief's happy face burst into chrysanthemums, and he took Mr. Xu and started beating gongs and drums in the village.

The villagers had just gotten up and were preparing to make breakfast. They were startled when they heard the sound of gongs and drums. Why did the village chief strike the gong? Could it be that something happened again? Usually in the village, gongs are not played easily when there is no big deal. The gong was struck last time. Or is it because the old Xu family needs to recruit workers in the village to build a new house? What is the reason this time!He quickly dropped what he was doing and went to the banyan tree at the entrance of the village.The Xu family also went to join in the fun under the tree. When they arrived, the entrance to the village was already full of people.

When the villagers saw not only the village chief standing there, but also Mr. Xu and his wife standing next to them, they were immediately filled with doubts. Could it be because of Mr. Xu's family?Before they could think about it any further, the village chief said with a smile on his face, "We are being called together today because there is another happy event in the village. I will ask Brother Xu to tell you."

Mr. Xu took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone already knows that my family has business dealings with Zuixian Tower, right?" Seeing the villagers all nodding, Mr Xu said, "That's right, yesterday the owner of Zuixian Tower came Our Xu family wants us to plant vegetables on a large scale. The address is in our Xujia Village, so we need a lot of manpower. So if you want to work at my house, please sign up with the village chief. This time we are recruiting long-term workers, but there is one thing. The old man has one thing to explain. Those who choose to work must sign an agreement. They are not allowed to steal vegetables and sell them to others. They are also not allowed to hide vegetable seeds privately. Otherwise, they will be compensated 500 taels of silver. That's fine. Sign up."

The villagers below looked shocked and whispered to each other, "Why do we need to sign an agreement? If you violate the agreement, you will be compensated 500 taels. This is too much." After hearing this, the people above immediately said, "Then don't violate the agreement and everything will be fine!" It seems that the old Xu family is going to prosper."

The village chief next to him listened to the discussion of the villagers and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me. You must sign this agreement when you come to work. If someone breaks the agreement, secretly hides the seeds and gets them by others, and they are planted by others, you Do you think Zuixianlou will still cooperate with the old Xu family? Once this cooperation is gone, will you still be able to find such a good job in the village? I will ask my family Chunsheng to sign this agreement."

The villagers below thought it was reasonable. Xu Daniu was the first to say, "The Xu family is kind and righteous, and I am willing to sign up." Among the crowd, there were also people who had helped the Xu family build a house before, and they also nodded and said they would sign up, and more and more people signed up. .

Wang said, "Don't worry, everyone. Every family has a quota. The old lady has one more thing. Our family is also planning to recruit a few aunts and daughters-in-law who can cook. They only need to cook a meal at noon every day, wash the dishes, and wash the dishes." I get ten cents for washing pots, and we are all long-term workers."

Immediately, the women in the crowd were all excited, "Hey, dear, I will get ten cents for cooking a meal, and it won't delay the work at home." There were many smart aunts in the crowd who immediately thought of the benefits of this job, and immediately raised their hands and said, "I Yes, my cooking is always delicious!" "I want to, too, there is no one in my family who doesn't like my cooking!" "I want to, too"... I remembered the shouts one after another for a while.

Wang said, "We only need to recruit a few cooks, and those who are suitable can sign up with the village chief."

The crowd in the square was boiling for a while, and the village chief said, "Get in line first, and I'll register one by one." Immediately, the crowd lined up in an orderly manner.When the Xu family saw that it was almost done, they went home.

It was only at ten o'clock at noon that the village chief sent over the list of recruited workers and said, "There are nearly 100 workers recruited this time. Is it too many?" Qibao said, "The village chief doesn't have many, these vegetables need people." If you take care of it carefully, you also need to weed. The area of ​​a greenhouse is not small, so it requires several people to work together, and people need to take turns to watch it at night."

Mr. Xu said, "Qibao is right. In addition, we need to find some people to build a shed for people to eat in the wasteland, and set up a few stoves. From now on, we will cook and eat there, and it is close to where we work." "

The village chief said, "It's all fine, but can Zuixianlou eat so many vegetables?"

Mr. Xu said, "Village Chief, you don't know something. I only found out yesterday that there is more than one Zuixianlou in the town, and it has opened several branches! Otherwise, their boss wouldn't have come here to discuss this matter!"

The village chief suddenly said, "I see. This time I want to thank your family on behalf of the villagers. If it weren't for your hometown relatives, they wouldn't be able to find such a high-paying long-term job."

Mr. Xu said, "It's serious for the village chief to say this. Since my Xu family has the ability to make some livelihood for the villagers, it is also appropriate. We are all of the same clan." The topic changed and he said, "I will need something at home soon." After lunch, the village chief stayed and had two drinks with me, just to celebrate this great event. "

The village chief laughed and said, "No problem, I want to have a drink with my brother at noon."

Because the village chief stayed at home for dinner at noon, Wang specially asked her daughter-in-law to cook two more dishes, and then she went back to the house and opened a jar of wine bought from the town.

During the meal, the village chief was specially arranged to sit next to Mr. Xu. Qibao saw his grandfather and the village chief drinking happily. He also wanted to taste the taste of the wine of this era, so he secretly took a sip. As a result, he choked and his face turned red. This wine was not very tasty, it was extremely spicy, but not as mellow and long as the wine she tasted in her previous life.

When Mrs. Lin saw Qibao holding back his little face and kept sucking in air, he asked with concern, "Qibao, what's wrong with you?" Others looked over when they heard Mr. Lin's question.

Qibao felt guilty and said, "Mom, I'm fine, I just choked."

Lin suddenly smelled the smell of alcohol on Qibao, and immediately said with a straight face, "Qibao, have you been drinking? Don't you know that children can't drink?"

Qibao whispered, "I saw grandpa and the village chief grandpa drinking happily. I thought it tasted good, so I tasted a little bit. I didn't expect it to be too spicy and not delicious at all." Lin only heard this. Noh poked her in the head and the others laughed.
