Windy: The leisurely life of the village owner

Chapter 32 Lunch Arrangements ([-])

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng chuckled and said, "Uncle Cang, Uncle Cai, you are all here!"

"Yeah, I went to town with Ayao this morning to buy some electrical appliances and stuff."

"I was busy installing and placing it, so I was sweaty and smelly, so I went to take a shower."

After Xie Linfeng explained with a smile, he looked at the dining table again and continued to ask
"Hey, where are the aunts? Isn't lunch ready yet?"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao chuckled and said, "Not yet, but it should be soon."

"When uncle and the others came over just now, the aunts said lunch was almost ready."

"It's been so long now, it should be almost done!"

As soon as Xie Zhiyao finished speaking, Aunt Feng and Aunt Baoping walked out of the kitchen each carrying a large basin filled with vegetables.

"Look, it's coming!" Upon seeing this, Xie Zhiyao couldn't help but smile at Xie Linfeng.

"Xiaofeng, Ayao, what are you talking about? Why don't you go to the kitchen and help serve the dishes!"

Aunt Baoping put the vegetable basin in her hand on the table, and when she saw the two smiling men standing aside, she immediately said angrily.

Xie Linfeng and Xie Zhiyao heard this and quickly responded: "Okay, let's go right away!"

With that said, the two quickly stood up and walked towards the kitchen together.

Soon, dishes were served one after another.

Good guy, there are five or six dishes in total, and the portions of each dish are not low.

The meat dishes include a piece of braised chicken, a piece of mushroom meat soup, a piece of shredded pork with green pepper, and a piece of sour papaya fish.

In addition, add a portion of stir-fried seasonal vegetables and a bowl of pickled radish.

After all the dishes were served, Aunt Agui said modestly:
"Oh, I'm still a little unprepared today. I originally wanted to make old duck fungus soup."

"It's a pity that we don't have enough time. It would be great if you could buy the vegetables earlier!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he quickly smiled and said: "It's okay, Aunt Agui, this is rich enough!"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Aunt Agui, your skills are really good!"

"I haven't eaten this yet, but my mouth is already watering just by smelling it!"

"Then you can just eat, and no one will stop you!"

After hearing the two people's compliments for free, Aunt Agui couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

"Okay, let's all use chopsticks together, don't think of yourself as outsiders!"

Xie Linfeng saw that the two uncles seemed to be a little reserved and chuckled quickly.

When Xie Linfeng said this, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became much happier.

Immediately, under the greetings of the aunties, everyone began to pick up chopsticks and enjoy the delicious lunch.

During the meal, after everyone tried the taste of the dishes, they naturally praised Aunt Agui.

For Aunt Agui, who loves to show off and save face, the praise from everyone is the greatest affirmation for her.

No, after the meal, the smile on Aunt Agui's face never fell.

That sullen expression made Aunt Agui's "old enemy" Aunt Feng roll her eyes secretly.

After the meal, everyone helped put the dishes away into the kitchen, and several aunties began to wash the dishes.

Xie Linfeng led Xie Zhiyao and the two uncles to the tea room on the second floor.

I made a cup of tea for each of them, and everyone sat around the chairs next to the tea set and rested for a while.

Soon, Xie Linfeng began to talk about business!

"Uncle Cang, Uncle Cai! In fact, I came to see you today just for a meal. The main thing is that I need to trouble you for something!" Uncle Cang and Uncle Cai couldn't help but nodded when they heard this. Uncle Cai, who has a more cheerful personality, took the initiative to speak out. :
"We all know that when Ayao called us earlier, he already said that you should have something to do with us!"

"Tell me what you want from us and see how we can help solve it!"

After seeing Uncle Cai speak, Uncle Cang on the side didn't say anything, but just looked over.

When Xie Linfeng saw this, he couldn't help but glance at Xie Zhiyao and said with a smile: "How do you know that I came to see my uncles for something?"

Hearing this, Xie Zhiyao chuckled and said, "Why don't I know?"

"Since your boy asked me to call for help and kept a few aunties for dinner, it's obvious that something is wrong!"

"And if I guessed correctly, it should be about the Villa!"

"Let me guess, do you want some uncles and aunties to help clean up the villa?"

"I see that your villa has been abandoned for several years and is now full of weeds."

"You alone may not be able to finish the cleaning even if you are busy for a month!"

"So, the result is already obvious, the meal you got today is not that delicious!"

When Xie Linfeng heard this, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Why is my meal not delicious? Isn't it a Hongmen Banquet?"

As he said that, Xie Linfeng looked at the two uncles and chuckled:

"The matter is similar to what Ayao said, it's about some matters related to cleaning up the villa."

"I'm going to ask my uncles to help find some people in the village to come and help clean up the weeds in the villa!"

"Don't worry, it won't be cleaned for free. I will pay for the work. As for the price, I need my uncles to help give me advice!"

Xie Zhiyao was not surprised by what Xie Linfeng mentioned.

Xie Linfeng is away from home all year round and has no idea about the local market conditions.

Therefore, it is normal to ask uncles for their opinions. After all, even he does not know the local employment market very well.

This is not because Xie Linfeng is reluctant to pay high wages, but because every place has its own market price.

Xie Linfeng didn't want to disrupt the local rules, after all, "a rise is worth a favor, a rice is worth a hatred"!
Xie Linfeng will always stay in the village from now on, so some things cannot be done too "absolutely".

When Uncle Cai and Uncle Cang heard this, they nodded in unison. Uncle Cai said:

"It's just a matter of asking someone for help. It's a small thing. I also know the average wage in our local area."

"It's just clearing weeds. This can only be regarded as a chore. There is no technical content. Both men and women can do it."

"If this situation were in a town, it should be around 100 yuan per person per day, not including food and accommodation."

"And if it's in the village, the salary is even lower, and it won't exceed 80 a day at most."

"After all, it's close, and it's convenient for everyone to go home from work, so the wages should be lower!"

Uncle Cang on the side couldn't help but nodded in agreement when he heard this and said:
"What Ah Cai said was that when the orchard was harvesting fruit every year, it would take 80 days to ask the villagers for help."

"So, if you ask the villagers to help clean up the weeds in the villa, then it's best not to set the wage too high."

Hearing this, Xie Linfeng couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

"It turns out that the current market situation is like this, so I really can't set it too high!"

"Let's see, the people in the village are all from the countryside, so I can't give too low."

"Just 100 a day, no limit to men and women, just a round number, as long as it's the same as the town!"
