Nongmen's fierce wife: the prince brings a huge amount of the national treasury to seek marriag

Chapter 36 Hiring People
"In addition, there are still some bamboo tubes and bamboo sticks that need to be washed."

People here are not so particular, and many people will not take the bamboo sticks away when they eat Malatang. In this case, they can be washed and reused.

If they were all disposable, Xu Ruoruo felt that he couldn't make so many bamboo sticks.

Xu Ruoruo briefly told Mrs. Song what he was going to do, "The long-term workers in the town usually pay twenty yuan a day, and I will hire you at this price, what do you think?"

Mrs. Song has no reason to refuse. This job is much easier than her usual washing and sewing, and the wages are much higher.

"Thank you Mrs. Xu for taking care of me."

"Let's help each other." Xu Ruoruo took out three hundred Wen from his purse: "This is ten days' wages and the money to buy meat. Please, Mrs. Song, go to the butcher shop every morning to buy some pork offal, pork belly, and pork tenderloin There is also chicken, handle it well, and skewer it with bamboo sticks, I will come to pick it up at noon, as for the money for buying meat, you can keep an account, if you don’t have enough, ask me.”

In this way, the Malatang business can be sold from morning to afternoon.

Lady Song collected the money: "Okay."

Xu Ruoruo taught Mrs. Song how to marinate her own meat, and told her: "I'll go buy some seasoning later."

Mrs. Song only found it novel, but she didn't expect that meat could do this.

When Xu Ruoruo left, she brought the three clothes Mrs. Song had already made.

As they were getting out of town, they ran into Dog Tuesday.

As soon as the dog saw them on Tuesday, he waved and shouted: "Brother Lu, sister Ruoruo—"

"Why are you here?"

"I'm going back after finishing my work," the dog asked on Tuesday when he saw the cart they were pushing, "Why didn't you let me know when you sold it today, and I'll cheer you up?"

On Tuesday, the dog stopped talking abruptly, and he saw that there was no food on the cart.

"You guys are all sold out?"

The dog on Tuesday was shocked, and he didn't even need his support.

Xu Ruoruo naturally asked back: "Then what?"

On Tuesday, the dog choked: "As expected of me, sister Ruoruo, she is amazing."

"Let me push the cart for you."

Xu Ruoruo said: "You can have dinner at our house tonight."

Tuesday Dog nodded persistently: "Okay."

Xu Ruoruo couldn't help but suspect that the dog was so active on Tuesday just to find a long-term meal ticket.

When he was about to get home, Lu Xing suddenly asked, "Why did you find Mrs. Song?" Obviously there were so many people to choose from.

Xu Ruoruo heard what he meant, and blurted out: "That's right, her son is Pei Zigui, who doesn't want to make friends."

That's the prodigy Pei Zigui, a sure-fire candidate, and maybe he can come back with a champion.

Such a person, don't you want to curry favour?The whole town wanted to befriend him.

Xu Ruoruo felt that he was lucky. First he saved his grandmother, and now he found a lucrative job for his mother.

When Pei Zigui gets rich in the future, he must take care of him.

Lu Xing was silent for a while, then asked again: "Because he studies well?"

Before Xu Ruoruo opened his mouth, Tuesday Dog rushed to answer: "That's for sure. How many years has it been since there was one Juren in our town? Do you know why our village is called Hongyan Village?"

"That's because our village had a master Juren many years ago, so everyone changed the name to Hongyan Village, all for the joy of Wenquxing."

Xu Ruoruo listened with gusto: "There is another meaning."

"I hired Mrs. Song for another reason. I also think that if I can teach someone like Pei Langjun, my character will not be much worse."

Lu Xing let out an "um" and swallowed all the remaining words.

Xu Ruoruo recognizes scholars so much, so what does he, a reckless guy who doesn't understand anything, have in her heart?

Earlier, when she said she didn't mind whether she read or not, was she lying to him?
Unable to think about it any more, Lu Xing closed his eyes, and a hint of hostility flashed in his dark pupils.

Back home, Xu Ruoruo went to look at the loach in the bucket first, and added a little oil to the water when he went out, so he should have spit out the sand by now.

Xu Ruoruo announced: "I will drink loach soup tonight."

The two people who don't cook have no objection, one goes to chop firewood and light the fire, and the other goes to wash rice.

The loach has no scales and is easy to kill. Xu Ruoruo sat on a small bench and cut open the loach's belly with scissors, cleaned out the contents, put them in a bamboo basket without throwing them away, and gave them to Mrs. Li later. Let her feed the ducks.

Then put the dissected loach on the medicine stove and stew. There is no need to add extra seasoning in the middle, just add a little salt.

The stewed soup is milky and delicious.

The evening clouds are dyed orange, and the wind blows away the heat of the day.

The three of them ate together happily.

After eating, the dog went home on Tuesday, and Lu Xing watered the vegetables in the front and back yards, and filled the water tanks before dark.

Xu Ruoruo went out with the bamboo basket containing the internal organs of the loach: "I'll go to Mrs. Li."

"Miss Li, have you finished your meal?" Xu Ruoruo greeted.

"After eating, please come in."

Xu Ruoruo handed her the bamboo basket in his hand: "It's for you to feed the ducks."

Mrs. Li had a bright smile on her face: "Hey, when the ducks lay eggs, I'll send them to you."

Ducks eat loach, grow fast, and lay eggs.

"Okay," Xu Ruoruo didn't refuse, "How much did you get together today?"

Mrs. Li brought over the big bamboo basket on the side: "Have you seen enough? Today I skewered all the dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms I have at home."

Xu Ruoruo smiled wryly: "I'm afraid this is only enough for a day or two."

Mrs. Li was taken aback: "Is it sold like this?"

"Better than I thought."

Mrs. Li had a sad face: "Then what should I do, my family doesn't have any extra dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms."

"I already have a countermeasure," Xu Ruoruo comforted: "I came this time to discuss with you, how about I hire you for a long time?"

"Do you want me to live in your house?"

"No, no," Xu Ruoruo explained, "It will be a little more than the current work. Your family doesn't have enough dried bamboo shoots and mushrooms, so you can help me to collect them in the village. After you collect them, they will be washed and skewered. It will cost you fifteen cents a day. Not only that, I also want to ask Brother Li to help me make more bamboo sticks, which are also fifteen Wen, and if you need to send us to the town, it will be twenty Wen."

"what do you think?"

Xu Ruoruo had this idea from the very beginning when he decided to sell Malatang. Firstly, Mrs. Li is also a very nice person who can help out. Secondly, she also knows that she is not a person who can bear hardships, so she doesn’t want to work too hard. Too tired, making money is to make your life better, there is no need to make dead money.

She always doesn't do what she can not do, just be the one who makes up the mind behind the scenes.

Mrs. Li felt that she was taking advantage of Xu Ruoruo, so she quickly said: "The wages are too high, my work is not worth so much, five cents is enough."
