Chapter 200 Division of Labor

"Now I'm going to teach you how to transplant pepper seedlings. Listen carefully and watch carefully."

After everyone arrived, Fourteen asked them to stand around her and watch her operate.

She squatted beside the rectangular vegetable bed where the pepper seedlings were grown, holding a small shovel that was custom-made in the blacksmith shop in her right hand.

"Put the shovel sideways like this and go down through the gap, deeper, and pry up the chili seedlings together with the soil." She pried the handle of the shovel, and pried out a clod the size of half a palm, with two pepper plants on it Seedling.

"Then put it together with the soil and put it in a bamboo basket." She divided the soil into two pieces, one with a seedling on it.

The bamboo basket was bought by Lin San in Nanshi to transport the pepper seedlings.

"Dig out the pepper seedlings like this, and place them neatly in bamboo baskets. After digging a basket, transport it to the nearby field for transplanting." She dug four or five more seedlings and put them in the bamboo basket.

Then he picked up the basket and carried it to the open space next to him.

This land was reclaimed years ago, and after sowing the seeds a few days ago, she asked Xiao Qilang to lead the people to plow it deeply again.Now the soil under their feet is soft, and people step on it, leaving deep and shallow pits.

Shisi came to the open space, started from the ground, put down the baskets containing the pepper seedlings, half squatted and half knelt on the ground and dug a shallow hole with a shovel.

"You don't need to dig very deep, just use a shovel to dig twice, then put the pepper seedlings with soil in, and then seal the hole. There is a distance of two feet between each two plants."

"You don't need to pat it very tightly like planting a tree, just pat it lightly with your hands to ensure that the pepper seedlings can stand upright."

"When planting, make sure that the soil around the seedlings is concave so that it can hold water." Fourteen asked, "By the way, have you brought a water ladle?"

She forgot to tell Xiao Qilang to let everyone bring water ladles.

Surprisingly, many people brought them.

"I brought it with me. Qilang said that he would water it while transplanting, so he brought the water scoop too."

Shisi smiled knowingly, yes, this group of people are pure farmers, who earn their living by farming.Their farming experience is definitely not at the same level as hers.

Now Shisi felt more at ease. Even though this group of people saw peppers for the first time, it was definitely not the first time they transplanted crop seedlings.When doing it by yourself, there is a high probability that she is much more proficient than someone like her who has learned from watching videos on the Internet.

"That's good." Fourteen took the water ladle from a person and looked at its capacity, "For a water ladle like this, one ladle should be evenly distributed on three seedlings."

"Basically that's all." Fourteen stood up, returned the water ladle to its owner, and patted the soil on his hands, "I would like to tell you one thing in advance, that is, these seedlings are very precious. Be extra careful every step of the way, and try not to damage any of the plants."

Hearing what Fourteen said, everyone felt pressure immediately.

"Then...then if I accidentally step on a plant, will I have to pay for it?" An eleven or twelve-year-old girl asked.

"Yes, if one is damaged, how much will it cost?" Someone asked again.

"What kind of precious thing is this?"

The third speaker had some disbelief and perseverance in his tone, and his voice was very familiar with Fourteen. It was Xiao Shou's wife Lin.

"If you accidentally break it, you don't need to pay for it." Fourteen said, "Just stop and ask my cousin to collect the wages for the day, and then you can leave."

Following Fourteen's words, everyone first breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately breathed a sigh of relief.You don't have to lose money, but if you accidentally break it, you can't continue to work and earn money.

There is no way, every pepper seedling is precious now, and only in this way will they take it seriously.

"Did everyone hear clearly?" Fourteen asked.

"Listen clearly."

"Now that you hear it clearly, let's start working." Fourteen said, "Go to Lin San to get the tools first, and then ask my cousin for the wages. It will be paid once a day."

"The rest, let my cousin and sister-in-law make arrangements." Fourteen signaled Xiao Qilang and Tian Qiao to start making arrangements.

After she finished speaking, the Xiao family standing in the crowd reacted a little differently from others.

"Dad and mother are here, but let others take care of things." Lin muttered in a low voice, "Turn your elbows out."

Xiao Er's daughter-in-law and Xiao San's daughter-in-law talked to her mother-in-law, and then mumbled a few similar words.

"Okay, you guys." Xiao Fu glared at the three of them when he heard the words, "Give me some peace!"

He is now committed to repairing the relationship with Fourteen Niang, so he must endure.

They think that standing in the crowd and speaking quietly will not be noticed.But they didn't know that Xiao Qilang and his wife were staring at this side, seeing all the abnormalities on the faces of several people in their eyes.

Seeing that they just muttered a few words, and then followed everyone to get the tools.Xiao Qilang and his wife looked at each other, understood the meaning of each other's eyes, and continued to stare.

Xiao Qilang arranged for a few strong men to be responsible for carrying water from the river, and if they carried enough, they could rest temporarily without doing other work.Because this is physical work, which is more laborious than transplanting, the husband and wife decided to add five yuan per person per day to the original salary of the water bearers.

This approach naturally won the support of everyone, and the few men who were singled out to carry water readily accepted this division of labor.

"Old Seven! Me, I'll fetch water too!"

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go too!"

Xiao Erlang and Xiao Sanlang ran out to recommend themselves to Xiao Qilang.

Of course, Lin San was no stranger to these two people, and felt disgusted for a while.

"Second brother and third brother, there are already enough people to carry water, we don't need so many people." Xiao Qilang responded calmly, "You follow everyone to transplant."

If you are asked to carry water, I am afraid that you will not be able to carry it a few times in a day.How could it be that Xiao Qilang didn't know what the two of them were thinking about, maybe they were just thinking about the extra five cents, and they must have been prepared to be lazy and play tricks.

"Can……"

Xiao Erlang and Xiao Sanlang wanted to talk again, but Xiao Qilang had no time to talk to them.

He also separated four or five young women from the crowd, all of whom were careful and smart: "You guys are responsible for digging the seedlings here, and then putting them into bamboo baskets and sending them over to the transplanters."

"You little girls, just be responsible for watering the seedlings." Tian Qiao picked out a few eleven or twelve-year-old girls in the crowd, "Remember, one ladle of water will water three seedlings."

"Remember!"

"Okay, let's start working!" After the work was divided, Xiao Qilang announced the good news again, "We will take care of the lunch, and Qiao Niang will send it to the field for everyone when it is ready."

Everyone was naturally happy when they heard the words, and they all took their tools to work.

"What about you?" Xiao Shou asked Xiao Qilang, "What are you doing?"

Hearing him ask this question, all sensible people are ready to see a joke.He is in charge, what else can he do, of course he is watching you work.

Xiao Qilang was taken aback by his father's domineering tone, and Tian Qiao was also speechless for a while, why did her family Qilang have such a father with a brain problem?

After receiving Fourteen's eyes, Lin San replied to Xiao Shou's words: "Xiao Qilang is the person in charge hired by my wife, so he is naturally responsible for inspecting your work and paying everyone's wages."

"Where in the world is there any reason for a son to watch his father work?" Xiao Shou spoke quickly, obviously without thinking.

"So you don't want to do it anymore?" Lin San is not Xiao Qilang, and he has no scruples in speaking, "If you don't want to do it, leave the tools and leave."
