The poor little girl who traveled through the book, her father was lazy, her mother was stingy, and

The boy put the bag away. There was nothing in it except a set of spare clothes for him and his sister.

But that was made for them by Young Master Gu when he bought them, so they cherished it very much and felt that they had met a noble man.

After packing up everything, the young man took his sister's hand and came out, bowing to Lin Xiaoman, "Miss, my name is Zhou Quan, and my sister can't speak now. Her name is Zhou Yan'er. Do you think we need to change our names?"

Lin Xiaoman shook her head. To be honest, she hired people mainly to use them as helpers.

Names are given by parents, and Lin Xiaoman cannot change someone's name for no reason.

Especially these two people lost their parents and relatives during the escape. They are so pitiful. We can't just deny them even the last bit of thought.

However, after all, they will have to make soda ash in the future, which is the secret of preserved eggs. Lin Xiaoman can't be too friendly, he must retain his prestige to intimidate them.

"No, we farmers don't have so many requirements, so we can use your original names. But farmers do all the hard work, and we need to know how to plow the fields, harvest rice, feed rabbits, raise chickens and ducks."

"Miss, I can do any kind of work. My family used to farm. I can do the plowing and harvesting of rice you mentioned. If you don't know anything else, I will definitely learn it carefully."

Zhou Quan was afraid that Lin Xiaoman would dislike them, so he was eager to express his opinion.

Lin Xiaoman looked at Zhou Quan, who kept calling him little by little, and felt uncomfortable.

"Don't call me Xiaoxiao anymore. Call me Xiaoxiao now. It will be embarrassing if the villagers hear about it. Do you understand?"

Lin Xiaoman was overwhelmed. The thought of having two strangers in her home made her feel a little uncomfortable.

I hope the row of houses near the Rabbit Nest will be built soon so that Zhou Quan can live there with his girlfriend.

Lin Xiaoman didn't dare to tell Zhou Quan the method of making baking soda immediately, and planned to observe for a while.

So Zhou Quan’s daily job was to help wrap the eggs.

Sister Zhou Quan was still a child. She followed Guyu to the mountains to collect rabbit grass and dig earthworms to feed the chickens and ducks.

Before the autumn harvest, Lin Xiaoman asked her uncle Li Shan to buy two hundred ducklings and one hundred chicks in Shadi Village.

As soon as Lin Guyu stood among the chickens and ducklings, he instantly became a "proud hero among the crowd".

From now on, the two younger ones will be in charge of taking care of the chicks and ducklings at home. Of course, this is only when the chicks and ducklings are young. When they grow up and the chicken and duck coops are built, they will be moved to the foot of the mountain. Then Guyu and the others will not be able to take care of them.

But Guyu was still very excited, and took Li Miaomiao from next door, plus Zhou Yaner who couldn't talk, and the three of them went out together. Sometimes they also had to bring along the clingy little kid Lidong, who couldn't be shaken off.

Li Shan couldn't hide the fact that he sent the chickens and ducklings over.

When the villagers of Shanglin Village saw that the Lin family bought more chickens and ducks, they couldn't sit still anymore.

Whether it was selling fish, growing cabbages, or raising chickens and ducks to sell eggs, they were all related to the Lin family. The villagers realized that they would follow the Lin family in the future.

The Lin family eats a lot of fish and meat, so they at least get a taste of the minced meat.

The villagers who had bought chickens, ducks and sold chicken and duck eggs tasted the sweetness and wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Lin family, so they also asked people to go to Shadi Village to buy chickens and ducklings.

Those villagers who had never raised chickens and ducks saved some money from selling fish. They thought that if others ate meat, they should also eat meat. So they gritted their teeth and asked someone to go to Shadi Village to buy a dozen chickens and ducks to raise.

Xialin Village, next to Shanglin Village, was originally equally poor. Girls from Shanglin Village married into Xialin Village, and girls from Xialin Village married into Shanglin Village. The marriages were quite harmonious.

But now Shanglin Village makes money by selling fish, and one-third of the families raise chickens and ducks and sell eggs and also make some money. Just with such a small difference, those families in Shanglin Village who have girls of marriageable age are no longer willing to marry their girls to Xialin Village.

However, the aunts in Xialin Village who have daughters often ask matchmakers to go to Shanglin Village.

Lin Dajiang's family didn't know about this because they were busy doing business.

I'm busy and exhausted every day.

In this way, the autumn harvest arrived soon.

Lin Xiaoman's eyes went dark and he said "Fuck" in his heart.

When the autumn harvest came, Zhou Quan was put to good use. It turned out that he was not lying and was an expert at harvesting rice.

Not to mention Lin Jingzhe, even Lin Dajiang couldn't keep up with Zhou Quan's speed in harvesting rice.

This year the Lin family has a lot of land. Including the one acre they were allocated first, the five acres they bought later, and the one acre given by Old Mrs. Lin, there are a total of seven acres of rice to be harvested.

The four members of the Lin family, plus Zhou Quan, a total of five people worked together.

Lin Guyu, Lin Lidong, and Zhou Yaner were picking up the rice ears that had fallen on the ground.

After three days of hard work, only half of the crops were harvested.

The four brothers of the Li family came with a few laborers to help. When Lin Xiaoman saw his uncle, he immediately called him as intimate as anyone else.

Nonsense, that’s a walking labor force!

Four uncles, four aunts, and five cousins, a total of thirteen good workers.

Harvesting rice, threshing and drying in one go.

Taking advantage of the good sunshine, the rice stalks left in the rice fields were dried, tied into clumps and taken back to the Lin family.

The rice husks that were shed were also collected and dried.

To the Lin family, these are all treasures.

Afterwards, the four uncles stayed to help turn the soil, and within ten days, all the work in the fields was finished.

Because of the autumn harvest, the preserved eggs were out of stock for a few days.

It’s not that Lin Xiaoman didn’t do it, but everyone was busy with the autumn harvest and no one went out to collect eggs. Besides, even if they went out to collect eggs, the people selling eggs were harvesting in the fields.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, work has started again under the urging of the young master.

The rabbit hutches and chicken and duck nests at the foot of the mountain have been built, and the nearby bungalows have also been built, a total of three.

Lin Jingzhe kept one room for himself, one room for Zhou Quan and his sister, and used the remaining room to temporarily store miscellaneous items.

The rabbit hutch was built big and well, divided into ten compartments. Lin Xiaoman estimated that each compartment was about 50 to 60 square meters.

Two of the compartments are divided into several small compartments. Lin Jingzhe said that those are specially used for mother rabbits to give birth to rabbits, and the newborn rabbits are raised here.

The chicken coop and duck coop are also quite large. Lin Dajiang also had someone dig a small pond next to the duck coop.

Lin Xiaoman complained in his heart that the ducks had already enjoyed the pond before the people had even started.

But for the sake of the duck eggs, she endured it.

Whether it is a rabbit nest, a chicken coop, or a duck coop, there is a roof on top.

The chicken coops and duck coops have ordinary thatched roofs. Rabbits are afraid of water, so the rabbit coops are more luxurious and are made of tiles.

Although Lin Xiaoman knew that those were defective tiles that Lin Dajiang asked someone to buy, the villagers didn't know!

For a moment, some families who were originally on the sidelines immediately ran to Shadi Village.

Now there are not enough chickens and ducks to sell in Shadi Village.

As a result, the prices of chickens and ducklings increased.

The villagers from Shanglin Village who bought the tickets later vomited blood, but even so, they still gritted their teeth and bought it.

-

Zhou Quan was efficient and diligent in his work. He knew that his sister was too young to do any heavy work, so he rushed to do all the work he could.

Li Taohua had always felt sorry for Zhou Yan'er, who could not speak. After observing them, she felt that the brother and sister were not the kind of people who would cheat or play tricks. So, she and Lin Xiaoman discussed and decided to let the brother and sister follow them to make baking soda in the future.

In this way, there were six people making the soda ash, six people wrapping the mud, Lin Dahai's family specially helped Lin Dajiang collect rice straw stalks and rice husks, and there were eleven people including Li Erli who collected duck eggs, but they all tacitly agreed not to collect them near Shadi Village.

The eggs from Shadi Village were collected in turn by the four uncles of the Li family.

Lin Xiaoman recorded all expenses in the account to facilitate future reconciliation.

At the end of October, the young master settled the silver with Lin Xiaoman and gave each other twenty-six ten-liang silver ingots.

"Earned two hundred and sixty taels in more than a month?" Li Taohua just wondered why it was so easy for Xiaoman to make money?

"Well, after deducting various expenses, our family and the young master split the profits 50-50." Lin Xiaoman explained the main places where the money was spent. When he heard Lin Xiaoman say that the cheapest longevity gift box made by the young master was sold for 80 cents each, his jaw dropped.

Who are the fools who bought these?

Despite all the complaints, Li Taohua was still very happy.

The family has just harvested the grain, so there is no shortage of food.

The breakfast shop in the town also has a fixed monthly income, as well as money from selling rabbit, duck and chicken eggs. Now, including preserved eggs and preserved eggs, their family earns at least three hundred taels of silver a month.

This does not include the earnings of Xiaoman and Jingzhe.

Lin Xiaoman was also very happy.

At this rate of making money, the day when she can just lie down and count money won't be far away.

Besides, it’s already the end of October, so it’s almost time to start making sausages.

Chinese sausages are as easy to preserve as bacon. As early as a month ago when preserved eggs started to be sold, the young master asked Lin Xiaoman when he could make Chinese sausages.

At first, Lin Xiaoman replied that the time was not right yet and they had to wait until November when the weather got colder.

Compared with preserved eggs, the young master thinks he can make more money from sausages.

Besides, transporting preserved eggs is transportation, and transporting sausages is also transportation. Combining the two can save some transportation costs.

It's already the end of October, and the young master has asked Manager Lin to urge them twice.

Lin Xiaoman finally had the chance to breathe a sigh of relief, but was forced to do something again.

This time she learned her lesson and gave the pig intestine package to Zhou Laosan in the town.

The family has been running a pork shop for generations and has connections and channels. All Lin Xiaoman needs to do is report the quantity and weight, and Zhou Laosan can get the goods together in a day or two.

As for cleaning the small intestine, Lin Xiaoman invited Aunt Li and the second daughter-in-law of the village head.

In addition, they also have to cut pork. They don't just make ten or eight pieces, but thousands or even hundreds of pieces. So cutting pork is a very strenuous job.

Lin Dajiang thought about inviting two people, preferably men.

But there was a problem. The people who wrapped the eggs and did the bowel cleansing were women. During the day, he and Jingzhe basically burned hay outside and hardly met the female relatives.

If we ask two men to cut pork in the yard, rumors will spread.

Lin Dajiang thought about it for a long time, but was finally enlightened by Lin Xiaoman.

"Dad, isn't there an empty house near the rabbit hutch? We can just go there to cut pork. When our house is built, we can move over there. We can still rent the house here and make preserved eggs and Chinese sausages. It will save us from quarrels at home in the future. How nice!"

Lin Dajiang thought it was a good idea, so he spread the news of hiring male workers.

Not only people from Shanglin Village, but also people from Xialin Village asked others to find some connections.

After all, working in the village means you don’t have to walk for more than an hour to find work in the town like other people. The round trip saves more than two hours, and you can do more work and still take care of the family.

In particular, the eldest daughter-in-law of the head of the village who wrapped eggs and the eldest daughter-in-law of Mr. Wang worked in the Lin family for half a month. They were paid twenty cents a day, which means they could earn more than half a tael of silver in a month. That was only half a day's work. If they worked all day, wouldn't they earn one tael of silver a month?

Wouldn’t that be twelve taels of silver in a year?

After this calculation, the people of Shanglin Village, young and old, are no longer calm.

Those who didn't make it to the egg collecting part or the mud wrapping and intestine washing part tried their best to have a chance encounter with Lin Dajiang every day.

Lin Dajiang did not hide. He smiled and told everyone he wanted to hire a hardworking and diligent man, and would pay him 40 cents a day, but without meals.

But once he met someone who was trying to make connections, he would deal with him with a smile and return all the gifts. In short, he didn't agree to anything, but he didn't offend anyone either.

A few days later, Lin Dajiang selected two people, one was Aunt Lin's eldest son, and the other was Li Taohua's nephew, Li Zimao.

No one in the village had any objection to inviting Li Zimao. After all, it was to help the mother's family, so it was all reasonable.

But if we invite Aunt Lin's eldest son, the villagers will find it difficult to understand and accept it.

Especially Aunt Lin, who always talks a lot. Except for her four daughters-in-law, even the villagers don't dare to offend her.

Even Li Taohua didn't understand why Aunt Lin's eldest son was chosen as the head of the family.

You have to know that Aunt Lin and Lady Laizi are both good at talking.

"Taohua, Auntie Lin's four sons were raised to be filial by Mrs. Lin. To put it bluntly, they are just stupid, but they are strong. We are looking for someone to cut meat, not to do anything else, just don't be sneaky. If they are not good enough, we can replace them."

"Last time, Jingzhe was worried that the people he would hire wouldn't do their job well. Xiaoman said that we could do a last-place elimination. Although I don't quite understand how it would work, it makes sense."

Li Taohua laughed and scolded, "You don't even understand it, but you think what Xiaoman said makes sense?"

Lin Dajiang: "...What? Can't you say that what my daughter said makes sense?"

"Oh, you can't talk about our daughter yet?" Li Taohua joked intentionally.

Lin Dajiang chuckled, "Others say our daughter is not good enough, but you are fine."

"That's pretty much it."

All the people were equipped, and after a few days, the Lin family's yard was full of sausages.

After a few days, the Lin family's yard was no longer large enough to accommodate them, and the Li family's yard next door was also requisitioned.

Aunt Li agreed without hesitation.

In this way, Lin Xiaoman finally breathed a sigh of relief and was able to have a few days of leisure.

I thought about asking Lin Jingzhe to go to the mountain to try his luck, but Lin Jingzhe was busy moving a nest for the newborn rabbits. There were also several pregnant female rabbits about to give birth in the next few days, and Lin Jingzhe didn't want to leave.

Lin Xiaoman finally realized that after all this time, she was indeed free, but her family members were still busy!

However, she saw that her parents and brother were all very happy, and thought that such a busy and fulfilling life was not bad. Her parents had their own things to do, and her brother had his beloved business of raising rabbits, so she just went with them.

Lin Xiaoman drinks tea and takes a bath in the space villa, and lives a very leisurely life.

"Xiao Man! Jing Zhe! Something happened!"

Xiaoman was suddenly awakened from her sleep.

Oh my god! She has no leisure time!
