Chapter 214 Buy back the servant
Unexpectedly, there was another oolong.
Mao Dexing got the news about this dog-skin plaster. He stopped Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu when they were in the county town.
The news about the dog skin plaster is not accurate, he thought that Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu were also the stewards of the "Mysterious Big Boss" house.
Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu didn't know about the "mysterious big boss", so Zhao Liya and Hu Ling didn't think of telling him about it for a while.
When Mao Dexing came up to please with a smile all over his face, some of them said a lot, which made them feel confused.
Until Hu Ling, who went shopping, came back and said calmly that this was his parents, Mao Dexing's face turned blue and purple.
When staying at the hotel at night, Hu Ling had the opportunity to tell his parents about the "mysterious big boss", and Uncle Hu and his wife laughed and sighed.
Laughing because it is difficult for the young lady to come up with such a cover-up method, and sighing that the young lady has no choice but to do so, it is really pitiful.
Fortunately, they are here, and they will definitely get better and better in the future.
After Uncle Hu and the others came back, they told Zhao Liya and others about the incident, and everyone was amused!
Everyone said that Mao Dexing might be crazy!
Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu came back from the provincial capital seven days later, bringing back twenty servants, ranging in age from thirteen to sixteen.
Although it is a remote place, the provincial capital still looks like a provincial capital. It is very lively and prosperous, and there are many merchants traveling from south to north.
Uncle Hu deliberately chose such a half-sized one to buy back, so that he would not be too young to do anything, and he would not be too big to be disciplined.
This kind of product is just right, if you teach it more and train it for two or three years, it will be of great use, and it will be more loyal than the adult who bought it directly.
Although the owner is holding the contract of sale in his hand, he is not afraid that they will turn upside down, it may be easier, of course it is better.
These twenty people have all kinds of names, which are hard to remember, so the master gave them new names.
They bought it in the name of the Hu family. Zhao Liya discussed with her parents, Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu, and decided to let them all have the surname Hu. The names were arranged from Hu 1 to Hu 20. Everyone embroidered a finger-sized Name tag, pin it on the skirt for now.
At least let everyone recognize his face.
There are also Sanfang family members, Fang Mo and his wife with three children, a family of five, Zhang Shitou and his wife, and Qi Sanguan and his wife, all in their thirties.
Everyone is arranged to live in the large yard near the school.
There are small courtyards in the big courtyard, and there are also large row houses with shops. They are all arranged in it, and Han San and Han Si who originally lived there are not yet a quarter full.
"Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu have to worry about it. After these people are familiar with the place, they will be assigned errands, mainly to guard several workshops, manage pig farms, and patrol the property. Patrols don't have to be done every day. You can go to the sugarcane garden more diligently, and you just have to wait for the harvest time to visit other places.”
"Well, with you two here, of course we can rest assured!"
Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu gave these 20 or so people some simple training and teaching, and then made arrangements for them. The night shifts in the workshop were fixed by a few people, and so were the patrols.
Qi Sanguan and Zhang Shitou's daughter-in-law are in charge of cooking, and they are in charge of guarding the gate and cleaning. Fang Mo's family is in charge of the pig farm.
Aunt Hu is in charge of the affairs in the compound and the pig farm.
Nothing to do on weekdays, Aunt Hu went to the village to do needlework and tidy up the vegetable garden with Mrs. Deng, Widow Qu, and Aunt Li Shiyi.
It is inconvenient to travel without a car. Uncle Hu bought two more donkeys and a cart. Qi Sanguan, Zhang Shitou, and Fang Mo all learned to drive carts.
If there is anything in the school that needs help in daily life, just come and tell me, and Uncle Hu can arrange people to do it.
Aunt Hu also became addicted to growing vegetables. Seeing that there was a lot of wasteland next to the big yard, it was a pity to waste it. She simply took Qi Sanguan and their daughters-in-law together to reclaim a lot of wasteland and plant some common food. vegetable.
In a blink of an eye, the potatoes are almost ripe.
Zhao Liya decided to give it a try.
On this day, Zhao Liya and the others randomly pulled out a few trees from the potato field in Bajiaozhai, and they harvested a lot. The potatoes in the ground had grown up, the big ones were the size of a fist, and the small ones were as big as duck eggs. Five or six, or even eight or nine, just pull out a few and fill a basket, not to mention how gratifying it is.
In the evening, I made a potato feast at home, hot and sour potato shreds, ground three delicacies, roast chicken with potatoes, fried potato cakes, stewed pork ribs with potatoes and tomatoes, everyone had a delicious meal.
Uncle Hu sighed contentedly: "Hey, I really came to the wrong place. Who said that Lingnan is remote and unsuitable for living? It must be because of poor vision! Such delicious food can't be found anywhere else!"
Aunt Hu also smiled and nodded: "That's not it, there are so many good things that I haven't eaten here! Besides such delicious potatoes, there are also tomatoes, so many fruits, so many delicious dishes. Oh, don't I really haven’t seen it before!”
Everyone laughed.
There are indeed many kinds of fruits. As for the various dishes, of course many of them are made by the cooperation of Zhao Liya and Shu Yan. For example, boiled pork slices, Buddha jumping over the wall, **** chicken, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, coconut chicken, etc., are not all unique.
Everyone has tasted delicious potatoes, yes, it’s time to harvest.
Made an appointment with Lizheng and the patriarch of Bajiaozhai to dig formally the day after tomorrow, so that Lizheng and the others could prepare.
Zhao Liya and the others plan to hire 230 people to harvest potatoes. One hundred and fifty-six people were responsible for digging, and each prepared their own hoes and baskets. About forty people poured the potatoes they had dug into large baskets and carried them to the roadside for centralized discharge.
Dozens of people will be responsible for carrying the baskets of potatoes onto the hired oxcart, transporting them to the potato workshop, picking them, and storing them. During the whole process, there will be someone from the Zhao family to direct and point out. Zhao Liya and others will all go into battle.
The hired accountant who has already arrived will lead people to weigh and register the baskets at the potato workshop.
The wages, of course, will not be less for everyone. One person is thirty yuan a day. If you are caught deliberately lazy, stealing, etc., if the evidence is solid, you will be paid enough wages for the day, and the thief will be confiscated, but you don’t have to come back tomorrow and in the future. .
In addition to the need for manpower for harvesting, the potato workshop also needs manpower. Uncle Hu asked Hu Wu, Hu Liu, Hu Shishi, and Hu Twelve to be responsible for the potato workshop.
Except for them, the rest of the staff were all recruited from Bajiaozhai.
