The little ancestor of the family

"Everyone, please watch carefully. If you dig the wrong one, you won't get paid!"

The village head held up the Ice Spirit Flower again for everyone to see.

When he had finished reading, he continued, "In addition to making money from digging herbs, you can also make money from growing herbs.

Madam Ye said that she wanted to hire two people to help plant the herbs on the mountain, and the wage would be 10 cents a day.

I have decided on the candidates: one is Zhang Dali and the other is Zhang Erzhu.

If you two are capable, go up the mountain to work this afternoon. If not, I will find someone else."

"Okay!" the two people answered in unison.

"Uncle village head, why are they the two of them? When will such a good thing happen to me?" Someone was anxious.

The head of the village looked at the crowd and said, "Why choose them? Everyone saw when we were digging the canal last time. Zhang Dali and Erzhu are very capable and they always take the lead in everything.

Especially Erzhu, he was so brave when dealing with the wild boar!

So when this good thing happened, the first two people I thought of were them.

Of course, I also remember what others have done well. Next time I have this opportunity, I will definitely think of the third most capable and the fourth most capable. Don’t you agree? "

"That's what I said, but I don't know when I'll have the chance."

Someone complained quietly.

"This opportunity, it just came."

The village head rolled his eyes.

"For example, if you all went to the mountain to dig herbs and brought back hundreds of them, Zhang Dali and Erzhu would definitely be too busy to handle it, right?

Then the Huai'an family will have to increase their manpower and spend more money to hire more people. In this way, won't everyone have a chance?"

"Yup!"

"What the head of the village said makes sense!"

"The more you dig, the more you earn. Maybe you can even earn enough to grow herbs. Isn't this just like a snowball, the more you roll, the more you earn?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go tomorrow."

"Then I won't wait for you. I plan to go to the mountain to take a look today." Erdan's father said.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"If you are not in a hurry to make money, then you have a problem with your brain!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"And one more thing!"

Looking at the villagers with smiles on their faces, the village head said seriously, "Don't have any evil thoughts towards me. People have planted the crops with great difficulty, and you dug them up and want to sell them for money!

Let me tell you, none of the villagers that I, Zhang Yasuo, brought with me are so wicked.

However, in order to prevent this from happening, from today on, everyone will supervise each other. Except for those who grow herbs, I will fine anyone who goes to Dongshan!

The fine will be rewarded to the person who reported it! "

"Uncle Lizheng, I won't do anything tomorrow. I'll just walk around Dongshan Mountain!"

"Count me in, I'll go too when I have nothing to do!"

"Whose money will you make if you all go there?"

"Who knows, hahahahahaha!"

The laughter of the crowd echoed in the village and could be heard far away.

Ye Xinran didn't expect that such a small matter would be celebrated so grandly by the village head.

But the village head was indeed more thoughtful than she thought.

It seems that Zhang Yasoli has great potential to brainwash people. If she were in the era she lived in, she might have been a gold medal salesperson.

The crowd slowly dispersed, and only Erzhu and Zhang Dali stayed.

They looked at Ye Xinran and Xiao Huaian and asked cautiously, "We have only grown crops before, not herbs. How do we grow this?"

"Actually..." Ye Xinran thought for a moment, "I haven't planted one either."

"what?"

Both were shocked.

Ye Xinran continued, “But I’ve seen human races before, and what we have is at most a transplant.

The mountain is still its original growth environment. As long as the roots of the Ice Spirit Flower are not damaged, there should be no problem."

"Okay, let's try it!"

Zhang Dali carried the herbs and went up the mountain with Erzhu and Ye Xinran.

The soil on Dongshan Mountain is not as fertile as that on Milu Mountain, and there is insufficient groundwater, so the plants on the mountain are not as vibrant.

However, what Ye Xinran had originally chosen was a valley on the mountain.

The valley faces the sun and because of its low terrain, it stores relatively more water, so it appears more lively.

After Ye Xinran chose a place, she directed Zhang Dali and Erzhu to plant the half basket of ice spirit flowers they brought there.

“Don’t dig the hole too deep, just enough to cover its current roots.

Before planting, you need to clear away the dead leaves and short grass on the ground. Only the taller trees should be kept. "

"Mrs. Xiao, let's clear a piece of land first, and then plant the herbs.

Anyway, there are only more than 30 herbs, and they will be planted in no time."

Erzhu proposed.

"Okay!"

Ye Xinran nodded, "Anyway, this piece of land belongs to you two, you can do whatever you want with it."

Zhang Dali looked at the direction where the sun was shining and said to Erzhu, "It's a little late today. Let's clean up a small area first. It won't be too late to come up and clean up tomorrow when there's nothing to do in the fields."

"Okay!" Erzhu answered cheerfully, "I'll listen to Dali brother."

The two of them just did it.

First, cut down all the waist-high weeds and small trees, then pick up a rake and clear a large area of ​​dead leaves on the ground.

There was black fertile soil under the dead leaves. When Zhang Dali saw it, he immediately praised Ye Xinran for her good vision.

"Madam Ye really knows how to choose a place. The land I opened up at the foot of the mountain a few days ago has much worse soil than here."

“This is a valley, it’s definitely different from the one at the foot of your mountain.

Besides, there is not enough light here to grow crops. Plants like Ice Spirit Flowers, which like shade but need a little sunlight, are best grown here."

"Madam Ye is right!"

Zhang Dali nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The two grown men worked quickly.

By the time they had planted all the ice spirit flowers in the soil, the sun had not yet set.

"Thank you for your hard work. Come with me to my home to get today's wages." Ye Xinran said on the way down the mountain.

Zhang Dali touched his head and said embarrassedly: "There's no need to be so anxious. You can save up and give me one yuan a month."

"How can that be possible!" Ye Xinran disagreed, "If that's the case, I'll have to keep accounts, how troublesome."

makes sense.

Zhang Dali thought that it was actually okay not to give it.

He moved his lips a few times, but still couldn't say anything.

His family really needs money, and even if he said it, it would be false politeness.

When they got home, Ye Xinran immediately went into the house to get the money, and paid them ten cents each as agreed.

When I finished my work here and was about to go to the kitchen to cook, I found that Xiao Huaian had already taken the three children to wash all the vegetables bought today.

Seeing Ye Xinran coming back, the adults and children all looked at her eagerly:

"Aunt, what is that hot pot you're talking about?"
