slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 50 Hiring People
Cang Hai roughly guessed the reason, it might have something to do with the seed of life planted in front of his house, but he couldn't even be sure about it, let alone tell the elders, so he had to stand with the big guys in the rain a while.

After standing there for about ten minutes, Cang Hai greeted everyone with a shovel on his shoulder and then turned back home.

In the early morning of the next day, Cang Hai pushed open the door and saw that the sky outside had cleared up. A round of red sun on the slope in the distance had jumped out of the earth and sprinkled its own light on the slope of the loess. It was overcast and rainy for several days. , came all of a sudden, which made Cang Hai a little uncomfortable.

After tidying up, he started to feed the chickens and make breakfast. Before the breakfast was ready, he saw Ping An coming over with his big black dog.

The big black dog followed Ping An to the edge of the platform of Cang Hai's house, and he refused to move any further. Since the last time he was attacked by the tiger head for a while, not only the big black dog, but also all the local dogs in the village saw him. They made a detour to Hutou, and the vicinity of Cang Hai's house was like a restricted area.

Seeing Ping An coming in, Cang Hai asked casually, "Have you had breakfast?"

Ping An's answer was as usual: "I ate, but second brother, I'm still a little hungry."

After hearing this, Cang Hai couldn't help adding another portion of noodles to the pot, and then grabbed a handful of vegetables and put them in. Today's vegetables are grown in Cang Hai's own vegetable field. Since the last chicken attack, Cang Hai has I used a net one person high to surround my vegetable garden to prevent the chickens from the village from entering my vegetable garden and harming my vegetable garden. After a few days, the chicken feathers grew again.

"Your grandfather and the others still work today?"

Cang Hai sat down and prepared to add a fire to the bottom of the stove.

Ping An saw that he came over, stood next to Cang Hai, and began to take over the work of cooking the pot: "No, my grandfather and the others drove the car to work in the town early in the morning."

"Going to work in town?"

"Well, what kind of brick yard in the town, if anyone else wants to transport something, my men will help them transport it," Ping An said.

Cang Hai was very surprised when he heard this: "Is there no special car in the town?"

Pingan also said: "Although it takes a lot to transport by car, it also costs a lot of money. A scooter like my grandfather not only saves the cost of getting on the car, but also is not expensive to transport."

Hearing what Ping An said, Cang Hai thought for a while and then asked, "Then how much money can your master make in a day?"

It's lower than the freight of a car, how much money can Uncle Hu and the others take advantage of this day?
"My grandfather said, after all, we can earn what we have. Even if we peasants have a lot of strength, we will be idle if we are idle. If I didn't want to follow my second brother to plant trees, I would follow my grandfather to drive a car. Second brother, please tell my grandfather, I don't like the work of pulling carts, I like to be with you, and there is delicious food for every meal when working..." Ping An said.

Hearing Ping An's words, Cang Hai couldn't help but tremble in his heart, thinking: How could I forget about this!He only thought about his own life, why didn't he think about helping the villagers find a job.

After thinking for a while, Cang Hai said to Pingan: "We don't plant trees today, after dinner, you follow brother to Xipo to have a look. A friend of brother rented a large piece of land there to prepare Plant trees, and go with my second brother to see what's going on there."

Ping An didn't have any ideas, and immediately nodded when he heard Cang Huo say this.

After the two brothers finished their meal, Cang Hai put on the donkey cart, put on the tiger's head, and headed towards the west slope. Although the distance in a straight line is quite close, it would take two or three times the distance in real walking. Going uphill and downhill non-stop, you have to make a detour when you encounter a steep place where you can't leave.

The two brothers walked in a tight voice, and it was almost 12:30 noon when they came to the vicinity of the kiln where Wen Yidao and the others were going to live in the future.

When he arrived at the place, Cang Hai was a little dumbfounded, because there was no one in sight here, not to mention people, not even a dog. The kiln entrance was finally opened, and seven or eight new kilns were lined up around the slope. It became an arc, and the door was a platform rammed with earth.

"Second brother, come and see, they have also drilled a well here." Ping An discovered the well at this time, and happily yelled at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai walked a few steps, went down the slope and came to the well, only to find that the well Ping An said was not small, with a diameter of more than three meters and a depth of seven or eight meters, with a gentle slope attached to the well on both sides. On the side, all the way to the bottom of the well, there is a layer of yellow muddy water at the bottom of the well, which is similar to the puddle where the villagers used to fetch water.

At this time, Ping An was holding a small branch in his hand, and inserted it to test the depth of the water. When Ping An pulled the branch out, Cang Hai estimated that the water was at most sixty centimeters deep.

"Ping'an, go to the house and see if anyone is in the house." Cang Hai dismissed Ping'an.

Ping An did not doubt that it was there, he heard Cang Hai's words, and walked towards the kiln mouth with a twig in his hand.

Seeing that Ping An had gone a little further, Cang Hai picked up the formula, got a small bowl of water from the space, and poured it into the muddy well.

After a while, the water in the well slowly cleared up, and it rose a bit. Seeing this, Canghai added another half a bowl of water, and waited for the water to grow to more than one meter. Only then did the space close, and he lifted his foot and walked up.

Since Wen Yiyi was asked to plant trees, Cang Hai couldn’t make the difficulty too high. If he planted trees according to the normal method, it would not be easy for him to finish planting this area. After the trees were planted, he had to water them every day. , what is most lacking in this yellow land is one word: water!

If you have to water the planted trees while planting new ones, it will cost a lot of labor, so Canghai decided to make a small hanging for Wen Yiyi, and use the water from this well to plant trees. Guaranteed [-]% survival, but [-]% to [-]% are still available. In this way, the workload will naturally be much less, and the economic benefits will naturally be generated faster.

As soon as he reached the well, the voice of peace came again.

"Second brother, look!"

Following the direction of Ping'an's finger, Cang Hai saw a bunch of small black shadows moving on the slope in the distance, lined up like little ants. Looking carefully, he knew that it was a cart pulled by a bunch of animals. .

"Is anyone in the room?" Cang Hai asked Ping An.

Pingan said: "There is no one, and there is no furniture. The inside is empty, and it has only been plastered with cement."

Cang Hai had seen it in the house, even if Ping An didn't answer, he would know that several new kilns were covered with a layer of cement, and it seemed that the cement had not been dry for a few days.

"Second brother, what shall we do next?" Ping An asked.

After everything was done, Cang Hai felt that there was no need for him to stay any longer, so he said to Pingan: "Let's go back and come back when there are people."

"Oh!"

Ping An responded.

So the two brothers got on the donkey cart again and started walking towards the village.

Back in the village, it was already past four o'clock, Cang Hai went around to look at his own vegetable garden, and then together with Ping An, he fed some fodder to the sheep in the village's barn.

When the sun was about to set, Cang Hai went back to make dinner.

Just as he was packing up and preparing to cook, he heard Ping An shout, "My grandfather is back."

Standing at the door of the kitchen, Cang Hai saw Hu Shijie and the others driving a flatbed truck, slowly walking towards the village. The direction they came today was not the town, but it was obviously the same direction as Cang Hai went today. It is also the place where Wenyi Yi planted trees, and it is also the direction of the forest camp of TOPBIZHAN.

"Haiwazi, did you come early today?" Hu Shijie and the others entered the village, saw Cang Hai smiled and waved to greet him.

Cang Hai saw red bricks on several of their carts, so he guessed that they were going to transport bricks to Wen Yitong.

"Grandpa Hu, who are you?"

"The work in the field is almost the same. We take time to make some money. It's all easy work. We transported bricks and earned hundreds of 80 yuan." Hu Shijie said with a smile.

Cang Hai doesn’t know, this is the living conditions of the villagers. When there is work in the field, they go to work in the field, and when there is no work, they can’t idle. There is only one yuan in hand, even if it is like this, it is not always possible to receive a job.

"Today is also a coincidence. The company in the town hired people to move things. We went late and didn't have the turn to move light furniture. We only got the work of moving bricks." Li Licheng laughed.

"How much money can one day have?" Cang Hai asked.

"We can make a net profit of 60 yuan on this trip today," Li Lida said with a smile.

After hearing this, Cang Hai asked: "Didn't you say that there will be one hundred and eighty people in one day?"

Li Lida said with a smile: "People give one hundred and eighty yuan, we can't get it, and we have to pay for the rest. They take over the work, and we are only responsible for the work."

Cang Hai couldn't help asking in surprise after hearing this: "Is there still a way to do this job?"

The meaning of the head is to organize people, which is roughly equivalent to the foreman on the construction site. These people organize people to come to work, and after receiving the money, part of it is deducted, and the rest of the money will be distributed to the workers. Most of the time, these people eat They are people who don't work and only make connections.

Hu Shijie said: "How could there be no foreman, such as transporting bricks, if you don't introduce the head to others, they won't let you transport it!"

"How about this, Grandpa Hu, you guys come home later, I want to talk to you about something," Cang Hai said.

Hu Shijie laughed and said, "What's the matter?"

"I want to hire everyone to help me with work," Cang Hai said.

"How much money do you need to help you work!" Hu Shijie said.

Cang Hai waved his hand after hearing this: "Our business is one yard at a time. Not only do you have wages, but Ping An also has wages. I keep accounts with him and me these days."

Hu Shijie and the others listened, and after looking at each other, Hu Shijie said: "Then let's go to your house to talk about this later."
