Eating big melon is so refreshing

He Yunpeng's House

"What? To mine the rocky mountain opposite the city gate, and get thirty cents a day, with breakfast and dinner included, and a three-foot cloth allowance every month?"

A villager asked in disbelief, "Village Chief, is this true?"

"Village Chief, is this news reliable?"

"Village head, isn't that piece of rocky mountain at the city gate the county government's land?"

What the residents of the small town envy the most is not owning ten acres of land at home, but being able to work in a brick kiln, earning thirty cents a day with a meal included. This is real cash and more affordable than anything else.

"It is now Guangning Township's industry. After all the stones are dug up, they will build farms, breeding farms, and farmhouses. Such a large project will take several years to complete."

He Yunpeng announced carefully, "We will be hiring on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Anyone who wants to apply can come to me to register. There are 30 vacancies this time. Anyone who is strong can join, regardless of age or gender. Also, after the spring, the town will set up an independent group to organize children under the age of twelve to pick wild fruits, mushrooms and other mountain products in the village. They will receive a subsidy of half a cent a day."

A man scratched his hair anxiously and said, "Village head, half a cent a day, how much is it a month?"

"Fifteen cents for half a pound of pork!"

"Can we eat meat now?" A shrewd woman smiled happily. She has five children in her family, and they can eat several kilograms of meat every month!

"Register, we want to register." There are only thirty places available. Xiaohe Village has more than three hundred people, and there is also Zhaojia Village. There are too many people and too little porridge!

When they heard the good news on the third day of the first lunar month, everyone couldn't sit still. They were eager to sign up today and start work tomorrow. Salaries are paid every ten days and have never been delayed.

Zhao Qingshan's House

Village chief Zhao Qingshan held a small loudspeaker and announced the recruitment matter. Of the forty workers recruited by the brick kiln, twenty-five were taken by Zhaojia Village, so this time twenty places in the quarry were given to Xiaohe Village.

The advantage of having a small loudspeaker is that there is no need to beat a gong to gather villagers together for a meeting. Once the loudspeaker is blasted, everyone in the whole village can hear it.

This is a treasure. Zhao Qingshan carefully put away the small loudspeaker. This thing will become a family heirloom and will be passed down from generation to generation.

Xiao Qiulin reorganized those messy accounts into tables and classified them so that they could be easily found at a glance.

"The forms made by Xiao Qiuer are very useful." Zhao Ming watched for a while and admired. He also had a headache with these accounts. With these forms, it would be much easier for him to check the accounts in the future.

Xiao Qiulin found a problem while writing. "Uncle, the workers in the brick kiln will also be provided with two meals a day and three feet of cloth every month. In the summer, we need to boil mung bean water for them to drink to relieve the heat and detoxify. As long as they are old employees, we will give them a penny every day as a bonus."

Zhao Qingshan was stunned for a moment, and said, "Xiao Qiu'er, one cent a day may seem like a small amount, but it will become a huge expense over time."

"It's okay. We're all from the same village. Fatty Sister won't mind this little money. Uncle Wanzi's porcelain kiln is too small, so we need to build a new one. We will provide the wild fruits and porcelain jars, and Master Mingyue will provide the recipe for the fruit wine. He's going for the high-end route, and we're going for the affordable price." Xiao Qiulin said, "Making bricks is different from making porcelain. The recipe must be in our own hands. It will be very useful in the future."

Not understanding what high-end products and affordable prices meant, Zhao Qingshan and his son Zhao Ming only knew that fruit wine was very profitable. Zhao Qingshan had no intention of getting anyone outside the family involved, as this was related to the prosperity and wealth of future generations. Having a good skill was like having a gold mine.

"This is a must. Only my great grandfather knows the final process of making bricks." Zhao Ming said with some concern, "Fruit wine is very profitable. If we produce it in Zhaojia Village, will the Baili family have any objections?"

"This is Young Master Mingyue's private property, not the Baili family's. What opinions can they have? Even if they do, isn't it Young Master Mingyue who has to take the blame?" Xiao Qiulin said nonchalantly, "Just like this time when Young Master Mingyue led the troops to the battle, his main task was to clean up the mess for Fatty Sister. One was in charge of killing, and the other was in charge of burying. They worked together so well."

"Ahhh! Where's my baby? Who stole my big fat baby? I curse him to never give birth to a daughter, and for his whole family to be monks!"

Xiao Chunya's angry voice exploded in the air, "Who cares about that small ingot? I've seen golden peaches this big. If you had the money, wouldn't you buy a doll? Why did you steal mine?"

Xiao Qiulin covered his ears with his hands, his face looking a little ugly. There was a thief in the house!

"I want to learn how to draw bad luck charms. Whoever steals things will be unlucky in the future. He will choke when drinking water and fall down when walking!" Xiao Chunya said indignantly, "This is too much. Not only did he steal my doll, he also stole the Calabash Brothers. Why didn't he steal his brother's doll?"

Xiao Qiulin had just stood up, and when he heard this, he stumbled and almost fell down. What kind of logic is this? Your doll was stolen, so you feel unbalanced, right?

Xiao Chunya was so angry that she went to the Guagua system to find out who the thief was, but the system was not powerful enough to find out.

Xiao Chunya rolled around in the snow, groaning. If you didn't know, you would think she was a little fat pig grunting on the ground.

On the official road outside the village, a seemingly ordinary mule-drawn carriage was moving slowly forward. In the carriage sat the precious Wuxiang State Master, holding in his hands a pair of chubby porcelain dolls, which were the pair of dolls that were stolen from Xiao Chunya.

"Master, what do you want this pair of dolls for?" Thirteen, who was driving in front, asked curiously.

"It's fun." Master Wuxiang also heard Xiao Chunya's thoughts and couldn't help but smile. Just as he was about to say something, he heard Fourteen choking on the water and coughing violently, his face turned red.

The little girl has such great magical power. Most people cannot withstand the curse of a person with great luck.

Wu Xiang Guo Shi said with a hint of pity, "Fourteen, you choke when you drink water and fall when you walk during this period. You have suffered for me."

"Master, is the little girl so cruel?"

Thirteen was still frightened. Fortunately, he was not the one who stole the doll, otherwise he would be the one in trouble.

"It's not all bad. Doesn't your grandfather want a great-grandson? Your wife's baby is a son." Wu Xiang Guo Shi said slowly, "We'll know whether it works in half a month."

Fourteen grinned, his grandfather just wanted a great-grandson. His eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law gave birth to six children, all girls. I don’t know which bastard spread the rumor that those who have a great-grandson can be reborn into a rich family in the next life!

It's pure nonsense!
