Chapter 93 Salary Increase

Shanqian Village, Fish Pond.

Autumn is crisp and clear, and it is the most comfortable time of the year.

Baskets of big crabs and crayfish were waiting to be poured into the pond. Crabs in the bamboo baskets tried their best to climb up. Seeing that they were about to succeed, they were pulled down by the brothers and sisters below.

The other crabs are eager to escape from here.

However, he was always dragged down by other companions.

"Axin, looking at these crabs, what have you learned?"

Zhao Wenmu's family of three and Zhao Xin went back to the village and planned to stay for a few days.

"The more fun you make, the faster you die?"

"Crab or spicy is better?"

"All eight-legged ones are delicious?"

Zhao Xin gave several answers in a row.

While stretching out her fingers to tease the crab, the crab wanted to pinch her hand, and then it would pinch the heads and pincers of other crabs, and then it was a mess.

"Wrong! It's about picking good teammates. Pig teammates will only hold you back!"

Zhao Wenmu tapped her on the head lightly.

Zhao Xin didn't dodge either, just leaned against each other with his head shrinking.

"Pig teammates will only hold you back."

Several other people recited this sentence silently in their hearts, and they all showed expressions of sudden realization.

"Third brother, are we good teammates or pig teammates?"

Zhao Xin turned to ask Zhao Wenmu.

Zhao Wenjun, Zheng Guangming, Song Yun, and Zhao Wenguang also listened attentively.

Even Zhao Jing looked over.

"Are you stupid! Of course you are good teammates, my right-hand man, right-hand man!"

Zhao Wenmu gave her a headache.

"Then third brother, aren't you three-headed and six-armed!"

"Well, the third brother has three heads and six arms, but you have one head and two arms!"

Zhao Wenmu laughed and went to see the crabs.

"Little brother, the crabs and crickets are well raised, and the death rate is less than [-]/[-]. They are not thin overall, and even grow a little bit."

Zhao Wenmu flipped through his notebook.

Zhao Wenjun made an introduction on the side.

Zhao Wenjun's handwriting is just like her person, soft and weak on the outside, tough and tenacious on the inside.

The notes record in detail the acquisition and breeding process of crabs and crayfish.

The various figures and experiences are summarized above.

These experiences are very important for future expansion of farming.

In the past few months, Zhao Wenjun's whole appearance has also changed, which is the same as Zhao Jing's previous changes.

The skinny body gained a little flesh, and the calluses on his hands softened and faded little by little.

It's just that her skin has turned darker, there's nothing she can do about it, she's guarding the pond every day.

The most important thing is that the spirit is different.

Zhao Wenjun became more confident, proactive, and more youthful.

"Now that the weather is getting colder, the purchase volume has begun to decline slowly. I'm afraid it won't be able to meet the demand of crayfish restaurants."

When Zhao Wenjun mentioned this, he was a little worried.

"How about I find a few more people to catch crabs?"

Zhao Wenmu took her to the pond.

In fact, we can’t blame Zhao Wenjun for this. Zhao Wenmu originally planned to purchase 8 catties, which is enough to consume about 120 days of a crayfish restaurant in a whole winter.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes, and the actual consumption of the crayfish restaurant finally stabilized at about 780-840 catties.

To be on the safe side, at least 9 catties should be prepared, and 10 catties is the best.

"It doesn't matter, that's all there is to it. When the time comes, develop a few new dishes and just hedge them out."

In winter, hot pot and barbecue are also delicious!

Zhao Wenmu himself likes cooking meat around a pot in winter.

Last time he brought a copper pot back from the capital, and planned to eat copper pot shabu-shabu with his family in winter!

However, since we are going to develop new dishes, the corresponding kitchen utensils and tableware have to be prepared in advance.

Today's family dinner, and another task.

family meeting.

After dinner, the family sat around in the yard, and Zhao Xuehai drank tea and smoked on the stone bench beside him.

It's completely irrelevant.

I can't control it, the children are promising!Especially when it comes to making money, as long as there is not too much risk, he is not going to speak.

What Zhao Wenmu wants to say is mainly two things.

"The price of dried mushrooms is relatively stable now, with an average of 8 cents and 2 pounds per catty."

There are many varieties of their mushrooms. Naturally, it is impossible for all the prices to be the same. We can only say an average.

The average cost of dried mushrooms is about 6 cents.

Zhao Wenlin and his family invested all their net worth, especially Zhao Wenjun, who only had 722 yuan in his hand, and actually invested 700 yuan.

Her idea is very simple, the money was originally given by the younger brother, and the younger brother needs to return it to him.

In this way, more than 18 catties of dried mushrooms only earn about 3000 yuan.

Worry immediately appeared on everyone's face.

Fortunately, no money was lost.

"Little brother, do you want to sell the dried mushrooms now?"

Zhao Wenyan asked.

Harvesting mushrooms took a lot of hard work from everyone. It is really distressing to sell them like this, but there is no other way.

"Sister, we don't sell them now. When winter comes, the price of dried mushrooms will increase. That's the peak season for dried mushrooms, so don't worry."

"Dried mushrooms are sure to make money, and more than anyone thinks!"

Zhao Wenmu doesn't want everyone to live in fear for the next two or three months, so he must cheer everyone up from time to time.

To be honest, everyone is not very guilty about doing mushrooms.

In any case, the money for collecting the mushrooms is my own, and I didn't borrow any money.

Now the game and crayfish restaurants are making money every day. Even if the dried mushrooms are all lost, life can go on as usual.

Even so, Zhao Wenmu's words reassured everyone in the Zhao family.

Everyone is convinced of him now.

"The second thing is the salary for each family."

"I plan to increase the wages of each family to 50 yuan a day, the second sister 30 yuan, and Ah Xin 20 yuan."

Now, Zhao Wenlin, Zhao Wenguang, and Zhao Wenyan’s families pay 20 yuan a day, Zhao Wenjun also pays 20 yuan, and Zhao Xin 10 yuan.

It is equivalent to that except for Zhao Wenjun, everyone else has basically doubled.

Everyone present reacted differently to this decision.

The old couple Zhao Xuehai and Liu Sufang are very happy. The palms and backs of their hands are full of flesh.
Zhao Wenyan immediately disagreed.

"Little brother, 20 yuan a day is enough! Sometimes we don't do any work, and we can still get 20 yuan a day. I feel really embarrassed."

Zhang Zhenshan moved his body and wanted to say a few words to help his wife, but he was dull and he was not from the Zhao family, so he didn't know if what to say was appropriate.

Finally moved his buttocks and sat back.

Liu Xiumei has no such concerns.

She patted Zhao Wenmu and said with a smile:

"Little brother, you just bought a house in the city, and you will need to provide Ah Jing and Ah Xin to go to school in the future. The money is not spent like this, it is still the same as before, 20 yuan is enough!"

It's rare that someone with such a fiery temper can speak so earnestly.

Song Yun was much simpler and more straightforward.

"Xiaomu, I'm pregnant. I don't do any work and still get money every day. I'm so embarrassed! Or don't give me money in the future, and our family can just give me 10 yuan!"

Zhao Wenguang stood up abruptly.

"No, no, no! Brother, don't listen to Xiaoyun's nonsense, 20 yuan is pretty good!"

The daughter-in-law is pregnant, of course everything has to be bought for her, how is 10 yuan enough?
Zhao Wenmu waved his hand, motioning everyone to listen to him first.

"There is one thing I didn't tell everyone. Didn't I go to the capital again before, and bought a yard for 11 yuan!"

After speaking, he looked at everyone with his arms akimbo.

"How many?!"

Amid the sound of gasping for air, Zhao Xuehai asked loudly.

The cigarette pipe and pan in his hand were shaking.

Zhao Wenmu then recounted his experience as a charterer in the capital.

Everyone was shocked when they heard that he had earned 23 yuan in ten days!

The younger brother has earned a total of tens of thousands of dollars selling game and crayfish these days, and everyone still has this expectation in their hearts.

But the money was used to collect mushrooms, open shops, and buy houses.

He probably didn't have any money in his hand.

This is everyone's guess about Zhao Wenmu's current situation.

But he didn't expect that there were more than 20 in his hand!

Not only that, but also spent nearly 12 yuan to buy a big house of more than four acres in the capital!

When Zhao Xin heard this, he immediately jumped up.

He told the story of himself and Zhao Jing spending more than 10 yuan to buy and rent a house.

"We can now earn more than 12000 yuan in monthly rent, and we can probably earn 10 yuan if those shops are sold!"

The little girl's slightly immature face is full of complacency and "quick praise me", "quick praise me".

Now everyone can almost stuff an egg in their mouths.

after awhile.

Liu Sufang went out and closed the door.

"Third son, don't reveal your wealth. Even though you have money now, you still have to hide it, understand?"

Zhao Xuehai is a little worried. If Zhao Wenmu only earns 3 to 5 yuan, he doesn't think there is any problem, but if he earns 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands, it really scares him a little.

The same is true for Liu Sufang, who just gave Zhao Jing a few instructions.

Who would have imagined that in just a few months, Zhao Wenmu had accumulated such a rich net worth.

You must know that in previous years, the whole family could not earn 500 yuan a year!
Zhao Wenmu told everyone this, of course not to scare his family, but to let them understand that times have changed.

The concept of money also needs to change!

"Brother, sister-in-law, Zimeng is in the first grade now, and Ziting will start school in two years. There is no good school in our countryside, we still have to go to the city!"

"When you sell the mushrooms, you can make some money. During this time, you can also save some money from your wages. At that time, you can buy a house in the city, even a house like mine!"

"Times have changed, you can't do without knowledge!"

Since his rebirth, Zhao Wenmu has continuously preached the importance of knowledge, and the Zhao family now values ​​knowledge very much.

Zhao Jing and Zhao Xin are making every effort to prepare for the night school exam.

Zhao Wenjun goes to the peasant night school in Shandongtou Village every day.

Hearing this, Zhao Wenlin and Liu Xiumei nodded heavily.

"Little brother is right!"

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are the same, Yuanming will go to school next year, why not just let him go to the city to study!"

Zhao Wenyan and Zhang Zhenshan also nodded.

"Second brother, our children will also go to study in the city in the future!"

Song Yun snapped up and said.
