The Pastoral Empress Merchant

Chapter 97

In the end, Yang Hui was very happy and couldn't wait to take the crystal bayberry back home.

After Yang Hui left, Shopkeeper Zhang asked curiously: "Xiao Xi, why did you give all those crystal bayberries to Miss Yang? Didn't you say that the price of crystal bayberries will be sold at a very high price?"

"This is called an early investment! The return will be very large." Mu Jinxi looked at the shopkeeper Zhang and said meaningfully.

Shopkeeper Zhang was stunned for a moment, then quickly figured it out, couldn't help laughing, pointed at Mu Jinxi and said, "You are smarter than me, I think I will abdicate soon!"

Mu Jinxi said modestly: "Where is it? Compared with you, I still lack a lot of experience."

Shopkeeper Zhang laughed again.

Mu Jinxi looks at the bright sunshine outside the window, and believes that her future will be as bright as this sunshine. No matter what time and space she is in, she will not let herself live in a humble way, and make herself have to look at people's faces.

She can't change her blood relationship, so her background is already like this, all she can do is to change the day after tomorrow, so that she can climb to a suitable height, so that others can only look up to her.

Mu Jinxi has full confidence that Yang Hui's affairs will develop in the direction she wants. She focuses on harvesting bayberry. It is not a tree, but a small piece of fruit. There are many fruits. People helped pick them.And even if she didn't want to pick the picker, she had to choose in Xiushui Village first.

When the people of Xiushui Village heard that something had happened to the Mu family, they even wanted to hire workers for ten Wen a day, without meals.Work for four hours, and if you perform well, you can get an extra ten cents a day.

Now Xiushui Village exploded again.It seems that the Mu family has really gotten rich, and it doesn't hurt to spend money like this.

It was not the time for rice harvesting yet, and everyone was not busy. When they heard about such a good thing, they all crowded outside the courtyard of Mu's house.

"Xiaoxi, why are you looking for someone to help you? Everyone here belongs to the neighbors and folks. If you have something to do, just say it. If you have nothing to do, you can help. Why waste this money." Aunt Niu is not I understand Mu Jinxi's way of spending money very well, this money is not so easy to earn.

Mu Jinxi accepted Aunt Niu's kindness and said with a smile: "It's because everyone is from the neighbors, so I can't let everyone work for nothing! Besides, I can't finish my work in a while, maybe I have to It's been a few days."

"Is that so..."

"Then tell me what the job is, maybe my Dazhu can help." Aunt Niu hurriedly recommended her son to Mu Jinxi.

Seeing Aunt Niu like this, the people around quickly recommended her family members.

"Everyone be quiet, don't worry, what I need are people who are serious, responsible, careful, and willing to endure hardships. I don't want those who like to be lazy, irresponsible, and unwilling to endure hardships. I don't want those who are careless. Oh , and your movements should be gentle and not too rude." Mu Jinxi said her request in a leisurely manner.

Everyone be quiet.This...is this asking for someone to help with work?Why doesn't it sound like it? How can anyone ask for help with so many demands, and they can't be rude, but gentle?This is clearly to serve the little ancestor, right?

"Xiao Xi, what kind of work do you want to find someone to help you with? Why are you asking for such a strange request?" Aunt Zhang couldn't help asking.

She still wanted to let her man go. Originally, she just thought that as long as she was strong and willing to work, it would be fine. She didn't expect that there would be so many strange requests!
Mu Jinxi glanced around and finally started to solve the puzzle, "I have a fruit forest on the mountain, and now the fruit is ripe, I need someone to pick the fruit. But because the fruit is very precious, you must be very careful during the picking process. And be careful, otherwise, every time I lose a piece of fruit, I will lose money. Let me tell you honestly, this fruit has been fixed. If there is a loss, everyone’s wages will be deducted from it. Is this clear? "

ah?Will it be deducted from wages?

"Xiao Xi, you mean that if someone damages the fruit while picking the fruit, he will have to pay, isn't that what you mean?" a villager asked.

Mu Jinxi nodded, "That's what it means."

In this way, some people immediately retreated, thinking that the requirements are too harsh, and they have to pay money if they are broken. If someone accidentally breaks a dozen or more, wouldn't it even be enough to pay for wages?

"Stay if you want to do it. If you don't want to do it, you can leave if you are worried. My requirements are indeed a bit high. It is normal for you to feel harsh."

After a while, many people left and gave up one after another, and some people remained, thinking that as long as they were careful and careful, they could still avoid damaging the fruit.

Mu Jinxi looked at the people who stayed behind and nodded secretly. They are all villagers who usually have good reviews in the village, and their character can be trusted.

Just now she actually saw Zhang Dade and Cuihua Niang, what a huh, she still has the face to come to her house to work, she is really thick-skinned.

"Xiao Xi, can I do this job?" Qiu Ju hesitated for a while, walked to Mu Jinxi and asked.

When Qiu Ju asked, other girls of the same age in the village also asked.

Mu Jinxi smiled and said, "Yes, you can, but your working speed is different from that of adult men and women, so your wages are also different. It is only seven Wen. Are you still willing?"

Qiu Ju nodded quickly as if afraid of Mu Jinxi's repentance, and said, "Yes, yes, I will!"

Other interesting girls also said yes.

"In this case, then—" Mu Jinxi was rudely interrupted before she finished speaking.

"Don't be fooled by her. How can she have any fruit? She pays seven cents a day. Where did she get so much money? Be careful that you will be doing nothing for her!"

At this time, there is no one but Cuihua who would speak so vitriolicly to Mu Jinxi.

Mu Jinxi glanced at Cuihua lightly and said: "You don't have to worry about this, you can't go anyway."

As soon as Mu Jinxi finished speaking, a girl in the village asked stupidly, "Why?"

"Because she wants to go and I won't want to!"

Uh……

Cuihua's face turned red immediately, and she was angry, but now she didn't dare to insult Mu Jinxi as she did in the past, and could only stare at her angrily, as if she wanted to eat her.

But Mu Jinxi was indifferent, she didn't bother to pay attention to Cuihua at all, and said to the others: "Now you go up the mountain with me to have a look, after you have seen it, if you still decide to stay and help, just stay." Come down, otherwise it's okay."

The girls glanced at each other, no matter what Cuihua jumped up and followed Mu Jinxi up the mountain.

On weekdays, they can only help with farm work, housework and so on, but these labors are not rewarded. At most, they get some lucky money from their parents during the Chinese New Year, but that is only one copper coin, and now they have seven coins a day. A copper plate!If they work for a few days, they will have a lot of copper coins, which they can save as dowries.

So a fool would not do such a good thing!
