After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land
Chapter 134 Taking over the job
The grass and trees on the mountain grew wildly, and the angelica was buried in the grass. Everyone was pulling weeds on the mountain.
The pulled out grass will be placed in a sunny place to dry, and then taken down the mountain to make compost when there is time.
In the evening, Uncle Ye came back with a few scholars, and Ye Chencong also came back with them.
The family members were all surprised to see Ye Chencong, "Sanlang, it's not time to rest yet, why are you back?"
Seeing everyone's worried expressions, Ye Chencong quickly explained, "I took a leave and came back. Master Hu received a batch of urgent orders. The store is short of staff, so he wanted to outsource some simple jobs."
"What does this have to do with your coming back?" Ye Qing asked the question that everyone was wondering.
"My father can do the outsourced work, and I will help him take it over. Recently, not many people in the village are making things, so my father is just free."
Ye Laoer's eyes sparkled. His son had grown up and was thinking about the family. When he got something good, he would think about the family first.
"Sanlang, are you going to make the materials yourself or use those from Master Hu's shop? Does taking this job have any impact on you?" Ye Laoer was worried that it would affect his son's learning of the craft.
"Use the ones from the store. This order was placed by Mr. Liu in the city. His daughter, who married in the capital, will come back with her family to stay for a few days. We received the letter late, so we have to do it urgently."
The family members were relieved, and Ye Qing was concerned about how to transport the materials back. "Third brother, are there a lot of materials? Let me go with you to get some."
"One car is enough. I didn't take many. If I took more, I wouldn't be able to finish it."
After knowing what he wanted to know, Old Man Ye urged the two to go home and rest early, and go to get materials early tomorrow morning, after all, the work was urgent.
Before dawn, the two drove out in their ox carts. When they arrived at the city gate, they waited for a while before the gate opened.
The two men entered the city and went straight to Master Hu. When they arrived at the door of the furniture store, the door was not open yet.
The two of them ordered a bowl of soup and ate two steamed buns at the stall at the door before waiting for Master Hu to come and open the door.
"Morning, Master Hu. Thank you for giving me the job. I'll come and get the materials."
Master Hu saw that the two men had wet hair and knew that they had gone out early in the morning.
He made way for the door and led the two men to the backyard.
"Brother Ye, you came quite early. I am going to make some chairs and tables, as well as some small items. Here are the drawings, take a look."
Ye Laoer took the blueprint and looked at it carefully. It just looked a little special, but it was not difficult.
"Master Hu, no problem, I can do this." Ye Laoer is also a master with many years of experience.
Master Hu asked the shop assistants to help put the materials on Ye Laoer's car and agreed to deliver the goods in five days.
Ye Laoer drove the ox cart home and first put the materials on the back seat so that they would not get wet in the rain.
The things they made were simple, but there were many of them. Shen also came to help, doing some simple sawing of wood and assembling some small stools.
When Ye Qing was sleeping at night, he found that there was still light in his second uncle's house and realized that someone was working with torches.
After coming back from picking cotton, Ye Qing would also help with some small chores.
After dinner, Boss Ye and Old Man Ye came to help. Although none of them knew how to do carpentry, they were able to do some lifting and moving.
With the help of Old Man Ye and Boss Ye, Old Man Ye became much faster.
There has not been much work in the fields recently, so Old Man Ye doesn't go to the fields during the day and helps his son work.
Ye Qing was not very capable, so he took the initiative to take care of the pond. He went to check on the pond every day and cut some grass to feed the fish.
Uncle Ye's family will only be busy for a few days, so Ye Qing can still handle it.
"Qingya, isn't there enough grass at home? Ask Ye Zhu to send you some more." Ye Wenzhen saw Ye Qing cutting grass by the pond and thought that the grass his nephew sent was not enough.
"Enough. This is the water cut for my second uncle's pond. My second uncle has been busy these days, so I'm helping him feed the pond." Ye Qing saw who was coming and greeted him.
"You don't have to do it. How much grass can we use in this small pond? I'll ask Ye Zhu to cut more and send it over. It's too sunny. You should go home soon." Ye Wenzhen was very grateful to Mr. Ye for giving the grass-cutting job to Ye Zhu, who wanted to earn money with the children in the family.
Ye Qing could see that Ye Wen was sincere, but Ye Zhu also had to study every day and do as much as he could.
Seeing that Ye Qing insisted on cutting the grass himself, Ye Wenzhen stopped, took the sickle, found a patch of grass, and started cutting it quickly.
With Ye Wenzhen's help, they soon had enough grass. After feeding the fish, they took Wangcai for a walk around the pond before going home.
After several days of intense rush work, the order was finally completed at noon on the fifth day. Ye Laoer carefully loaded the goods onto the car, and before one car was fully loaded, Ye Dalang pulled his own ox cart to deliver it.
It was dark when they came back. Second Uncle Ye brought a piece of floral cloth for Ye Qing, and also brought a piece of cloth for Old Man Ye and Li, and told them to wait for Shen to finish making the clothes and send them back.
Shen was also an efficient person. She only took two or three days to make clothes for several people.
I made summer clothes for Old Man Ye and Mrs. Li, and a floral top for Ye Qing, which the little girl looked very beautiful in.
I also made one for my daughter Ye Xi. It is the same color as Ye Qing's, but with a different pattern. They both look beautiful in their own way.
Mrs. Li and Old Man Ye received the clothes made by Mrs. Shen and were very happy. They were both filial children. They put on the new clothes, went out to show off, and came back in a good mood.
"Second brother, how much money have you earned these days? You used it to buy clothes for us. Is there anything left?" Old Man Ye met his son on the way to the mountain.
"Dad, I made money. Master Hu is a generous man. I made three taels of silver." Ye Laoer said the amount proudly.
Old Man Ye patted his son's arm and said, "Well done. Keep up the good work in the future."
Old Man Ye seldom praised others, and Old Man Ye felt as happy as if he had drunk honey. He followed Old Man Ye up the mountain.
Ye Qing didn't go out today because he felt it was going to rain and it was hot and stuffy.
Half of the rabbits in the backyard are left to be sold. I put a rabbit in every other cage and change their water frequently.
I put a layer of leaves on the rabbit cage, and sprinkle water on the ground every day, for fear that the rabbit would be too hot and not eat.
When not at home, Ye Qing likes to take Wangcai and Heizi to the mountains. There are many trees in the mountains, and it is cooler than home.
With Wangcai and Heizi accompanying them, the family members feel relieved. Tushan, which is close to the village, is visited by people every day, so there is no danger.
Ye Qing walked inside. There were tall trees and many wild vegetables and fruits. There were also a few chestnut trees, but they were not ripe yet. He would pick them when they were ripe.
When you have nothing to do in winter, just roast chestnuts and sweet potatoes, it’s a wonderful thought.
On the way back to the village, Ye Qing passed by his own corn field and went in, picked a few and cooked them at home. The tender corns at this time were soft and sweet.
Then break off a few corn stalks and drag them back to the village to feed the cows. Before the corn is ripe, the stalks must be broken off after breaking them. If they are not broken off, passers-by will think they have been stolen, so they will also break off two and take them back.
