Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

Chapter 55: Seedling cultivation and contract signing

After dinner, no one rushed back home, but sat in the corridor of Chen's main hall and chatted.

"Ah, think about it, it's only been a few days, and the Changjiang family has become a completely different place," the village chief sighed.

"Yeah, I can't even remember what the situation was like last month." The old patriarch also sighed, hoping that their family would get better and better, and the surrounding villagers would also benefit a lot.

"Yes, you old man got the advantage again. You two boys have to teach them wholeheartedly." Mr. Ma was also happy for them, and he also liked Grandpa Yu and the others more.

Yu Qi and Yu Wu respectfully said yes.

"Hey, girl, what are you doing with the Qin peppers?" Old Master Yu saw Qing Ning fiddling with the Qin peppers out of the corner of his eye, and asked curiously after seeing her peeling the Qin peppers.

When everyone heard this, they all turned their eyes to Qing Ning.

"Grandpa Yu, I'm getting Qin pepper seeds. It happens that this season is the time when the seeds sprout, so I'll plant more Qin peppers." Seeing that Grandpa Yu was curious, Qing Ning told him about his plan to plant Qin peppers.

"Oh~ You can also cultivate Qin pepper seeds?" This made Grandpa Yu and the others even more curious.

“Just try it, maybe it works.”

"Girl, are there any particular requirements for growing these seeds?" Old Man Yu walked over and squatted beside her, watching her do it. Seeing this, the others also gathered around.

Qing Ning picked out about a hundred plump seeds and soaked them in a bowl of water. He soaked the rest in another bowl. These couldn't be wasted, so he cultivated them together. If they sprouted, he would be able to stand out from the crowd. Qin peppers were rare and couldn't be wasted.

"I've seen how they cultivate and plant crops from the immortal before, so I'm going to try it today." He found a hoe and went to the back of the house, and everyone followed him.

They found a sunny spot in the backyard vegetable patch and pulled out the old vegetables. Seeing she was too small to do much, Old Man Yu and the others asked her to stand aside and give them instructions. Old Man Yu enjoyed tending to these things, but because he had always struggled with the technique, he always bought the Qin pepper seedlings. Qing Ning wasn't shy, standing aside and directing the others' work.

Because there were no modern agricultural fertilizers, they took some chicken manure from the chicken coop and used a dustpan to get some wood ash and lime, mixed them together and scattered them in the fields. They then used a plow to deep plow the land and mixed them into the soil as base fertilizer.

This kind of physical labor was no easier than practicing martial arts, and Mr. Yu was exhausted from having to bend over all the time.

"Alas, it seems that not everyone can farm this field. I'm old and my waist can't do it anymore." When Mr. Ma saw Mr. Yu, he looked reluctant and asked him to come up. He stood aside and watched the young man plow the land. Mr. Yu didn't insist and went to wash his hands.

"Mr. Yu, working in this kind of field is very tiring. You have to worry about the growth and pests, and you have to weed. Even if you are not a farmer, you have to go to the field several times a day to feel at ease." The old patriarch was happy from the bottom of his heart when he talked about the fields, and he treasured them like his own children.

"Yes, the old patriarch is right. To cultivate this kind of field, you not only need to have the physical strength but also need to know how to raise it. It's really like raising a child. It's not easy for you." Grandpa Yu took it very seriously and admired him sincerely.

"Ning girl, tell Grandpa Ma what these things you just scattered in the fields are for?"

"These are all natural organic fertilizers. If the land isn't regularly composted, nutrients will be lost and crops won't grow well. However, composting too much isn't a good thing either, as it can burn the roots. Chicken manure and wood ash are both good natural fertilizers, and quicklime has a sterilizing effect, making it less likely for seeds to be infested with insects."

Everyone had a look of wonder on their faces. Seeing the plowing was almost done, Qing Ning instructed them to use hoes to create furrows, five furrows per small plot. He then had water brought in to irrigate the field thoroughly, and then brought in the soaked seeds. Soaking allowed the seeds to absorb enough water so they could be sown directly. A thin layer of soil was then applied to keep the seedbed moist, and some straw was spread lightly on top to keep them warm.

"Okay, it will sprout in about seven days." After finishing these green limes, I still felt unsure. After all, the conditions now are not as good as in the previous life.

"Okay, okay, we are looking forward to the emergence of your Qin peppers. When the seedlings emerge, please let me come and have a look." Old Master Yu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. If these could be grown, he would definitely buy them with money.

"Of course, Grandpa Yu."

They returned to the front yard and sat down to chat. Old Man Yu saw that Yu San and the others were a bit of an eyesore standing there, so he sent them off to help the Chen family. Seeing that Yu Shi hadn't moved, he became a little angry: "Although you were bitten by a poisonous snake, you've been recovering for a few days. Since you can't do heavy work, why don't you go and help the aunts and girls in the village with the washing and tidying up?"

Yu Shi was helpless and could only move over silently, sit down on the wood, and follow Tan to wash the mushrooms. The others saw this and tried hard to suppress their laughter.

Qing Ning went into the room and took out the employment documents she had written yesterday. She called Chen Wuyi over and said, "Uncle Wuyi, come here for a moment."

When Chen Wuyi heard Qing Ning calling him, he put down his work and said, "Lian Peng, what do you want from me?"

"Uncle Wu Yi, I'd like to ask you to be the general manager and accountant of our workshop. Do you think it's feasible? The monthly salary may not be as much as you earn in the county, but there is a lot of room for development and it's close to home." Qing Ning said, which was very suitable for a boss who paints a rosy picture for his employees.

"Uncle Wu Yi, please take a look at this employment document first. If you think it is suitable, you can consider whether to sign it or not. Your monthly salary is already written on it." He handed over Chen Wuyi's employment documents. The monthly salary space on these employment documents had been filled in, and each person's monthly salary was different.

Chen Wuyi took the employment document and looked at it carefully. This employment document was completely different from the ones used in current shops. He was amazed as he read it. The Chen family was recruiting people in this way, so anyone would be willing to come, and once they came, they would not want to leave.

"Uncle, no problem. I'll sign as long as you recognize my ability. I will do my best." Chen Wuyi was very satisfied. No matter in terms of monthly salary or other aspects, it really made him realize what fairness and equality are.

"Uncle Wu Yi, if you are satisfied with this contract, then please sign it. Your working hours will start from the day before yesterday. I can't let you work for nothing."

"No, since you are the manager of the workshop, then I will start from when the workshop started operating. I have been helping voluntarily these days." Chen Wuyi refused immediately. He had to be honest.

"Uncle Wu Yi~" Qing Ning was about to open her mouth to persuade him when she heard the village chief say, "Ning girl, listen to your Uncle Wu Yi. The working hours will be counted from the time the workshop opens. These days can be considered as his training."

"Grandpa Village Chief, how can this be possible?"

"Yes, yes, Ning girl~"

"No, let's deal with each other separately. If you give in on everything, that won't be good. Uncle Wu Yi, you can't be like this when you manage the workshop in the future. You can't be too tolerant, but you can't be too harsh either. You can't be easy to talk to just because they are neighbors." Qing Ning was very persistent. It would be fine if he could help for a day or two, but it would be impossible for him to help until the workshop was operational for at least half a month. How could he take such a big advantage of others?

"Okay, Uncle Wu Yi will listen to you." Seeing Qing Ning's insistence and the sensible things she said, Chen Wu Yi wrote them down one by one and stopped worrying about it.

"Okay, Uncle Wu Yi, please sign it. I'll make two copies, one for you and one for me. You must work hard in the future." He said this with the look of a little adult, making the people around him laugh.

After Chen Wuyi signed the employment documents, he called in the designated workers one by one, explained the situation to them one by one, and had them sign the documents. A total of nine people signed today: six from the workshop and three from the Qingke snack workshop.
