Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 176
When Yang Yizhi turned around, he happened to see Baishou who was dumping the rubbish. He was standing next to him with his baby in his arms. He thought it was very interesting. Other people’s house dumped the rubbish directly outside the house, and their house dumped the rubbish in the whole village. The things were packed with things, and they were not afraid of taking the extra effort to walk a long way, and they were specially dumped on the open space at the foot of the mountain.

Wanwan saw Yang Yizhi, and greeted him before he approached: "Will the village chief go to the field behind? This year's harvest in the field must be good, and the spring rain is just right."

Yang Yizhi nodded, this year is indeed better than the previous two years, God forbid!He replied casually: "Are you going to follow Baishoudao?"

Wanwan laughed: "No way, this child insists on following his father." Then she carried the child and walked home, Baishou dumped the things, walked beside Yang Yizhi, and said as she walked, "The village chief wants to follow his father." Aren't you going to sit at home?"

"No, I have something else to do." Yang Yizhi said.

Baishou responded, and then entered the yard with bamboo locusts. Only then did Yang Yizhi come to his senses. Everyone on the way asked him a few questions. Why didn't the couple mention a word, so they stopped immediately. Baishou asked him: "Just now when I came out, people came to ask me about the mine. Why are you two in no hurry?"

Baishou smiled immediately, showing a row of white teeth: "You are the village chief, if you want to say something, you will naturally say when it's time to say it, why are we in such a hurry? Our job is our job. If there is something good, you will naturally tell everyone as soon as possible.”

Hearing this, Yang Yizhi also laughed, Wanwan and Baishou are usually the most sensible.Everyone who saw him along the way would ask him a few questions, and he was tired of listening and answering, when suddenly he saw that someone didn't mention this matter, he felt strange again.

As Baishou said, the reason why Yang Yizhi didn't tell everyone is because the other party hasn't given a definite message.Not long after Wan You went up the mountain in the morning, he sent people down the mountain and left the village. Just after noon, a group of bullock carts came in from Yangjia Village amidst the sound of long wheels.The bullock cart is full of things.

Upon receiving the news, Yang Yizhi rushed out of his home immediately and led the crowd to the threshing ground. More than 20 people who were originally on the mountain also came down. People stood watching, Yang Yizhi immediately greeted: "Come and help."

After a while, all the men in the village came out to help, and the things on the car were moved in two or three times, and some people rushed out without a hand.

After the things were moved up, those people started to get busy, and after a while, tents were erected one by one, and everyone suddenly realized that these people planned to live here.In addition to accounts, there are many daily necessities.Wan Neng directed everyone to pack up their things, and then allocated a residence.The threshing field is huge, and tents are tied up one by one, and they are barely set up.

However, there are only people living here, but there is no place to cook, everyone was thinking this way, a man ran up and found Wan Youcai: "Master Wan, the place has been selected, and we are waiting for people to go down to help. "

Wan Youcai nodded, and then called out very kindly: "Mr. Yang, we have already selected the place, and we will wait for you to go down to see if it is suitable?"

"Okay, just make your choice." Yang Yizhi said.

A group of people followed the two to the threshing ground and came to the small field behind Wanwan's house. There were two or three people standing in the field. There was a woman in her forties with a lot of things piled up next to her. , bowls and chopsticks in several large baskets, and two large pots on the ground.

This should be a temporary cooking place.

The man who reported the message pointed to the place where the woman was standing and said, "It's right here."

Wan Youcai looked at Yang Yizhi, and Yang Yizhi smiled and said, "All right, all you have to do is choose well. It's getting late, I'll call some people to help you." Then he ordered a dozen men from the village.

Wan Youcai thanked Yang Yizhi politely, Wan Neng appointed a person, and then led him to start digging the stove, moving things and so on.By the time it got dark, the temporary stove had basically been built.These are all experienced, and the stove that has been set up can naturally be used immediately.

The next day, Yang Yizhi gave Zhunxin that he wanted to dig a coal hole on the mountain. Apart from the two masters, the other party also had more than [-] experienced coal diggers.He was planning to recruit more coal diggers. Since Yangjiacun was at the foot of the mountain and provided a place to set up tents and cook, the other party had promised to let people from Yangjiacun come first, and then recruit people from other villages.

This is undoubtedly great news.

This is like the modern rural people who work on the construction site every day. Suddenly, someone pays for the factory, and everyone becomes a regular worker in the factory. There is no need to be exposed to the wind and the sun, and there is no need to worry about whether today's work will be done tomorrow.

Everyone's face was full of smiles, and they rushed to raise their hands and shouted: "Village chief, I'm going to..."

Yang Yizhi is also very happy. With this job, I believe that in the near future, Yangjia Village will be the village with the best life in the neighboring villages!

But mining coal is dangerous business.Not many people have seen it, and even those who are away all the year round don't know exactly what coal mining is all about.Wan Youcai told Yang Yizhi in advance that digging coal is not an easy job, and if the coal cave collapses, his life will be in danger at any time.

This must also be known to everyone.

"...Different from the work we usually do, it may collapse in case of heavy rain, and if you are not careful when digging coal, you may lose your life...The wages are higher than our usual work, but it is also very dangerous. I hope everyone Think it over carefully... If you decide, come to my place to sign up, and the meeting will end."

Yang Yizhi spoke very seriously and looked very serious.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect this job to be so serious.However, if you haven't experienced it, you don't know its danger.

Yang Yizhi walked for quite a while, but the crowd still hadn't dispersed. They kept whispering, frowning and smiling, but there was no need to worry.

In the evening, Baishou and Wanwan discussed.

"I'd better go to the mountain to dig coal directly. The wages are higher. With this job, we don't have to worry about living in the future for the time being..." He smiled again and said, "This job is good. On our mountain, we can live away from home." *When you have anything, I can take care of it!"

Wan Wan doesn't think so. Mining coal is so dangerous. I have seen it on modern TV. The mine collapsed and never returned.

"Having said that, digging coal is very dangerous. The mine cave collapsed, and people were buried under it. In severe cases, they could not be dug out for a few days..." Then they listed all the accidents that might happen in the mine cave. His mouth was dumbfounded: "You are too exaggerated!"

"What I'm talking about is the truth. Didn't you hear what the village chief said today? Besides, look at the wages. The maids of the big families in the market may only have one tael of silver a month. At the beginning, there were few coal mines. He You can guarantee us a tael of silver, how can there be such a good thing in the world?"

The previous joy on Baishou's face immediately faded a lot, Wanwan took the opportunity to say: "Why don't you ask the village chief for a spot to transport coal?"

Because the mountain where the coal mine was discovered is a mountain in the back, and there are mountains around it, and only one road from Yangjia Village leads to the outside, so after the coal mine is dug out, the coal needs to be transported down the mountain first, and it takes a lot of labor to climb over the mountain. It is necessary to hire people.

The coal cannot be transported away immediately after it has been transported down the mountain. It has to be placed in a unified place under the mountain, and it can only be transported away after a certain amount of coal has been collected.

It is hard to transport coal, but there is no danger of digging coal, and the money is naturally less than digging coal.

I don't know who thought of this method, but they can think of the method of piece counting.The calculation of wages, coal transportation and coal digging are calculated according to the betel.There are special betels on the mountain and down the mountain. It costs ten copper plates to transport coal, and fifteen copper plates to dig coal. At the beginning, the coal is less, and one person per day is only four or five. It looks like Yue can find more than one tael of silver, while digging coal is more than two taels of silver.

However, there may not be any coal in the first month of opening the mine. The other party said that if it is less than one tael, it will be counted as one tael.

In this way, even if everyone didn't dig coal for a month, and didn't do any work, they still got a tael of silver.

After a large number of coal mines are dug out in the future, you can find four taels of silver for mining coal at most a month!
Baishou naturally wanted to dig coal, but after some persuasion, Baishou had no choice but to apply for a hauling quota, considering that the children at home were still young and he would always pay attention in the next life.This surprised Yang Yizhi and others. A strong man like Baishou naturally went to dig coal, and chose to earn more money. He didn't expect him to pick a moving job. Thinking of Wanwan and the children at home, The village chief didn't say much.

This time, the old and the young in the village almost wanted to go as long as the family could afford it. Yang Yizhi, with a fair attitude, pushed away some old and weak women and children who could not do heavy work.Counting all kinds of odds and ends, there are still dozens of people.

Like Li Dazhi's father Li Baiyan, his eldest brother Li Dashi, Yang Yitian, Yang Fugui, Ge Shan, Wang Changshou, etc. all reported for coal digging; what made Wanwan's little accident was Yang Kaishi who also reported for moving, Wang Baoshan and his father Li Zhu All reported are moving.

Another good thing is that the workers can eat on the construction site during the working period. The stove is set in the small field behind Wanwan's house. The cook is the woman in her 40s, surnamed Xie. , everyone called her Mrs. Xie.

Then Yang Yizhi reported the list of work to Wan Youcai.On the third day, Yang Yizhi gathered all the workers and gathered on the mountain. First, Wan Neng told everyone the precautions at the coal mine, and then took everyone up the mountain.

On the mountain, the twenty or so men brought by Wan Youcai had already started digging coal.Digging coal seems simple, but in fact there are many essentials. There is no danger in the periphery. Once the coal hole is dug out, you have to be careful. As the coal hole gets deeper and deeper, you need to be more careful.

Wanwan was still at home with the child, and told him not to run around in the next life, but he still followed Shitou and Yuanbao up the mountain in the blink of an eye.

As the child grows up, she has gradually gained some experience. As soon as the child falls asleep, she will quickly do the housework. Now even if she is alone at home with the child, she is no longer in a hurry.

Because of the addition of a child, she and Baishou have planned not to raise pigs for the time being this year. Anyway, the pigs they raise every year are sold. The money they sell is not as good as her helping Zhuangzi make bacon at the end of the year. After losing this job and focusing on taking care of the children, and not raising pigs, naturally I don't have to worry about cutting pigweed every day, so I am naturally much more relaxed.
