After the rebirth, the cannon fodder left the plot

Chapter 47 Is It Trustworthy?
When the weather warmed up in February, Shen Jingcheng and Gu Jin chose a good day to move to the courtyard, and the Zhao family also moved to the courtyard where they used to live.

As for Gu Sanni, after observing her for more than a month, Gu Jin found that she was completely different from what was described in the book. At least she looked like a very quiet and steady girl now, so he moved her to the westernmost room in the courtyard. .

After all, the Zhao family still has a young man who is about to grow up. It is okay for Gu Sanni to live with them for a while, but it is not suitable for a long time.

At the same time, because of the Gu family's couple breaking into the yard on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Jingcheng went to the dental store to buy a young couple again.

The man of this couple was surnamed Zhou and his name was Zhou Quan. They were originally servants of a Bingtou family in the east salt field. Because the master's family committed a crime, they were sold to the county dental shop.

Shen Jingcheng saw that Zhou Quan knew a little bit of work, so he bought their husband and wife and let them be the gatekeepers of the courtyard, saving anyone from breaking into his yard if they wanted to.

In March, as the frozen land gradually became soft, the hired workers also arrived one after another, kicking off the prelude to farming.

Looking at the strong and hard-working men in the Shen family's fields, everyone in the East Village who originally worked for Shen Jingcheng was dumbfounded, except for Yang Shitou.

Last year Shen Jingcheng refused to give them cattle and plows, they thought it was because they didn't work for Shen Jingcheng last year.Originally, I thought that this year I would just continue to come and work as in previous years. Who would have thought that if they hired hired workers directly, they would have no intention of using them again.

A group of people are anxious like ants on a hot pot. Because they have been relying on the Shen family for the past few years, after their harvest has been paid in taxes, they basically ate everything except buying four-season clothes and pots and pans for their families. He thought about saving a little to buy farm tools, but now that Shen Jingcheng let him fly the kite, he panicked all of a sudden.

The same is true for Gao Dazhuang, he can go to Zeng Xuan to avoid being exploited by Shen Jingcheng, he can rely on his son Yang Shitou to discuss, see if he can talk to Gu Changping and take him.

Who would have thought that when Yang Shitou heard this, he didn't even ask, so he directly refused: "I only eat with the face of my in-laws, how can I have the face to ask for it? You can think of other ways."

Looking for another way?If he could think of other ways, would he still come to Yang Shitou?

Tall and Zhuang was so impatient that his mouth was full of blisters overnight, and finally bit the bullet and went to find Liu Da.

Liu Da wiped his face and said, "I don't know what to do now, how can I help you?"

Tall and strong.

That's right, Shen Jingcheng is now hiring people, even the people from the West Village are useless, no matter how capable and evil Liu Da is, if they don't use them, what can he do?
Gao Dazhuang returned without success. After he left, Liu Dachang let out a sigh of relief, bowed his head and continued to weave his baskets.

It may be that Gao Dazhuang's purpose is too strong. After talking to him for so long, it seems that he didn't see a lot of cotton locust sliver in his nest, or maybe he didn't care at all when he saw it.

These cotton locust slivers are good things for weaving baskets, and they were discovered by Liu Da when he went to the wasteland to collect burned grass and burn kangs last winter. His father used to be a basket weaver, although he was not upright at that time After learning it, he still knows the general steps of basket weaving.

Liu Da was very serious when weaving the baskets. He thought that he would probably depend on this for his living in the future.

A few days later in the morning, Liu Da picked out the best basket weaved in the whole winter and came to the courtyard. He wanted to give this basket to Shen Jingcheng.

He didn't call the door, just squatted at the gate of the courtyard and waited until the morning light, the courtyard door creaked open, Liu Da turned his head and saw the strange face who opened the door, and immediately stepped forward with a smile.

"Brother, this is a basket I wove myself, and it's a gift to Chief Shen."

Zhou Quan glanced at the basket he handed over, but he didn't pick it up, but smiled politely: "Wait a moment, let me report first."

After Zhou Quan finished speaking, he entered the courtyard and reported the matter to Shen Jingcheng who was practicing kung fu with Gu Jin.

After listening to Zhou Quan's report, Shen Jingcheng slowly put away his moves, exchanged a glance with Gu Jin, pondered for a while, and walked out.

"Lichang, this is a basket I made by myself. Although it's not very good, it's very strong. Here's something for you to hold." Liu Da handed over the basket he made again.

Shen Jingcheng looked at Liu Da with a peaceful face, took the basket and looked at it carefully, and boasted: "It's pretty good, if it's more compact, it can be sold.".

Liu Da was a little embarrassed by the praise, scratched his head and said, "You are busy there, I'm going back."

"Okay." Shen Jingcheng nodded, watching Liu Da easily leave his back with a little surprise in his eyes.

Liu Da, who just came here last year, seemed to be unable to suppress the hostility all over his body, but now, although the hostility in Liu Da's body still exists, it has calmed down a lot.

"Uncle Liu."

Just when Liu Da walked more than ten steps away, Shen Jingcheng suddenly raised his voice to stop him.

Liu Da turned his head subconsciously, his eyes full of doubts.

Uncle Liu?Are you calling him?

Seeing him turning his head, Shen Jingcheng asked him with a smile in the morning light: "Do you want to do part-time work? Eight copper coins a day or two and a half liters of grain, you can choose as you like. If you have time, you can do it if you want to. If you don't want to do it, you can leave at any time."

Liu Da was taken aback by the question, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes."

Last year he only had two mu of harvest, because it was a newly opened wasteland, the yield was not that high, and he barely harvested less than three shi of grain.He eats a lot, and he almost ate half of it in one winter. It is very difficult to persist until the summer grain is harvested. This is why even if he is not very good at weaving baskets, he still bites the bullet and recalls.

But if he could work part-time, he wouldn't have to weave baskets for himself, he was really not good at this.

"Okay, start work at [-] o'clock in the morning. Finish work at noon, start work at midnight, and finish work at unitary hour." Shen Jingcheng finished talking about the daily working hours, and then said, "You can also ask other people in the village if they have any ideas. Do it, if you want to do it, you can take it with you. If you can take them to and from work every day and supervise their work, I will give you two extra copper coins or half a liter of grain every day. If you don’t want to, I will find someone else Take them."

"I'm willing." As soon as Shen Jingcheng finished speaking, Liu Da couldn't wait to agree.

Such a good thing, he would be stupid to quit, it's just...

"You...why did you entrust me with such an important matter?" Liu Dachi asked.

"Mr. Jiang said that people should not be judged by appearances. He also said that although you look treacherous, Uncle Liu, you actually have a chivalrous spirit in your heart. If you are entrusted with something, you must be trustworthy and you will go through fire and water to live up to the entrustment. I think It still makes sense, Uncle Liu thinks, can I trust you?" Shen Jingcheng asked meaningfully.

"Of course." Liu Da quickly patted his chest and assured him: "Although I, Liu Da, have no great skills, I always keep my word. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be right to leave this matter to me."

"Okay, I'll leave Uncle Liu to find part-time workers." As Shen Jingcheng said, he shook his fist at him, and Liu Dalian quickly waved his hands.

"Whatever you want to talk about, you're busy, I'll go find someone right away." After Liu Da finished speaking, he quickly walked towards the West Village, feeling a surge of emotion in his chest.

It's a good job, he understands it.

He never thought that when he saw that old man Jiang couldn't even handle a farm tool and taught him, he would be given such a high evaluation.

He's going to do a good job, and he's sure to be someone you can trust.
