Chapter 139 Recruiting people in the village

"Sister, sister, look, my second brother and I caught a lot of snails. Let's fry them and eat them tomorrow."

Su Chi was squatting on the ground in the yard, watching Su Bai pour the snails they had just picked up into a large basin, fill it with clean water, and wait for them to spit out the mud.

Seeing Su He coming back, he immediately stood up and ran towards the gate, looking up and saying loudly:

"Just now I heard from my eldest brother that the snail noodle business is extremely good today. From now on, after picking mushrooms, I will go to the river with my second brother to pick snails."

He knew that for this snail noodle, sister needed to use snails to make the soup base, Su Chi raised his hand and said excitedly.

Although he is small, he can still help with housework.

"Okay, Ah Chi is the most capable one, but we've agreed that you can't go alone. You have to wait for the second brother and the other brother to go together. Got it?"

Su Chi is young, and he is afraid that it might be dangerous if he goes to the river alone. Su He repeatedly reminds him to wait for Su Bai to go together, only then will she feel at ease.

"I know, sister. Don't worry, I know."

Su Chi listened to Su He the most. He knew that his elder sister said that because she was worried about him, and he didn't want to make his family worry.

Su He patted her little brother's head and responded with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will make you stir-fried snails and let you enjoy it."

The snails that Su He made yesterday were very much loved by the Su family. Su He looked at the snails in the basin. In addition to using them to make the soup base for snail noodles, there would also be enough for her to bring some back to Zhou Yuzhi.

When dinner was ready, Old Man Su also came back.

Without even taking a sip of water, he began to speak anxiously.

"Everything has been settled. I have found seven or eight people who are good at the job. I estimate that it should be done in three days."

It is not the busy farming season yet, so there are still many people in the village. Old Man Su's price is fifteen cents a day, and everyone can go back to their homes for lunch. Since they are all from the village, it won't take much time to go back and eat something.

Moreover, the wages are higher than those of doing odd jobs in town. Doing odd jobs in town usually only earns ten cents a day, and the journey is far. One has to stay there for several days. Otherwise, it is not cost-effective, and it takes a lot of time to go back and forth.

Now I just have to build a wall. The work is not too tiring. I still work in the village and can get paid without leaving home. What a great thing.

So when Old Man Su expressed his intention, almost no one refused. Even if there was no meal, it was okay. Everyone can cook at home. They can just go back and eat at home.

"We'll go into the mountains later tomorrow. I've already told them to come earlier. I'll give them everything I need to know before we go in. Your grandma will be at home watching over us."

Old Man Su waved his hands. The people he found were all good and would not be lazy or slack, so he had nothing to worry about.

Besides, Old Mrs. Su is at home, so cutting the wall is not a complicated matter. They will be back after noon, so it won’t delay anything.

Now Su He and the other two were going to set up a stall in town, and picking mushrooms could not be delayed. Every day less would mean a lot of money lost.

Su He nodded. Old Man Su's arrangement was fine as long as it didn't delay anything.

After thinking for a while, he spoke again:

"Then we can start harvesting sweet potatoes in the village. Once the wall is built, we will hire a few people to be responsible for the work in the workshop."

The Su family has more and more things to do now, and it is gradually becoming too busy for them to handle it alone. Once the workshop is officially opened, they will hire a few people.

"But we have to make it clear in advance. When we harvest sweet potatoes, we don't want the rotten ones. We can't let them have too much mud on them. We can't let them be used as a substitute."

If this is not made clear first, it will be hard to say if there is any dispute later. Su He reminded that there is no need to cause such things.

Old Man Su nodded. He also agreed with Su He's statement. Not everyone in the village was easy to talk to. If there were no rules, it would be difficult to talk about anything.

Moreover, after the workshop is opened, it will definitely not be enough to rely solely on the sweet potatoes they grow themselves. They will definitely have to collect sweet potatoes in the village for a long time in the future, so it is better to make it clear in advance.

But since we are talking about recruiting people, Old Man Su remembered the look on the head of the village when he went to buy land some time ago. He thought for a while and said:

"I'll go talk to the head of the village about this tomorrow. I'll also let him know about the recruitment."

If there are any disputes in the future, there is no need to worry about any trouble as long as we are here.

Su He nodded. This was a good idea. In this village, the most prestigious person was the village head.

"Okay, let's have dinner first, and then we can talk slowly after dinner."

Seeing that the food on the table was getting cold, Old Mrs. Su hurriedly greeted everyone.

Seeing this, Su He nodded repeatedly. They would have to talk about today's stall later, so let's eat first.

This meal should be the most reassuring dinner the Su family has ever had. The family has income, and now they are going to set up a stall in the town, and the workshop is also ready to open.

Everything is going in a good direction.

After dinner, when the dishes and the kitchen were cleaned up and the family was gathered together, Su He took out the money he had collected today and poured it all out.

"Wow......"

Except for Su He and the other two who went to the town to set up a stall, everyone else stared with wide eyes, looking at the silver on the table with a look of disbelief on their faces.

Originally they were worried that Su He’s products were too expensive and that no one would be able to accept the price. Unexpectedly, not only did all the products sell out, but they also made so much profit.

How much silver is this?

"How many are here?"

Old Man Su has always been the calmest person, but now he couldn't help but stutter when he spoke.

No wonder Su He said he wanted to open a workshop as soon as he came back. It seems that this sweet potato noodles are very popular.

Su He was right, the work in the workshop had to be done quickly. He was a little annoyed now, wondering if he had hired too few people. He should have hired a few more people to build the walls and sheds earlier.

Tomorrow he will find a few more people to go with him, as there is also the matter of harvesting sweet potatoes, so he will go to Tonglizheng to discuss it tomorrow.

"Amu, Abai, the two of you count and see how much silver you have earned today."

Old Man Su waved to Su Mu and Su Bai.

When the two heard what Old Man Su said, they immediately nodded, raised their hands and began to count.

No one in the Su family dared to breathe, and stared at the two people in front of them without blinking.

After a while, Su Mu and Su Bai stopped what they were doing and finally finished the inventory.

"The total is 15,628 coins!"

When these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

How many?

"Have you counted them clearly?"

Old Man Su couldn't quite believe it. Fifteen taels! Fifteen taels a day. In the past, he couldn't earn that much in a year.
