Space farmer girl: I hoarded food and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 38 38 Hiring people
Before Shen could say thank you, Li Ling had already run towards Wang Erya quickly.

The little carrot boy was so excited when he heard that the puppy was brought to his family.

When Shen saw this, a smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Brothers and sisters, two girls, come and sit for a while!" Mrs. Shen said politely.

At this time, Shen Shuangshuang came out of the mill carrying soy milk and greeted the two of them warmly.

"Aunt Wang, sister Erya, morning!"

Aunt Wang saw that Shen Shuangshuang was making tofu again. She remembered the two-faced yellow rice that Shen Shuangshuang gave her yesterday, and she felt greedy in her mouth.

"Hey, Shuangshuang is making tofu again this early in the morning!"

"I saw you made a lot of food yesterday. Can you eat it?" he asked.

Shen Shuangshuang stopped for a while.

"It's not for myself, it's for the restaurants in town."

"I went to the restaurant in town yesterday afternoon to inquire about it and sold the tofu I made."

"They think my tofu is good, so they ordered another hundred pounds of it from me today," Shen Shuangshuang said.

From now on, we have to make tofu every day at home, so we can’t hide these things, so there’s no harm in talking about them.

Aunt Wang was shocked.

"One - one hundred catties?" He looked at the frames in the yard where Shen Shuangshuang was making tofu.

"How was the price determined?" Aunt Wang asked after swallowing her saliva.

Shen Shuangshuang paused.

"Five cents a pound." He said it truthfully.

"Be good!" Aunt Wang was startled.

Five cents per catty, one hundred catties is five hundred cents!

Soybeans are only 1 and a half cents per pound. This profit...

Mrs. Shen looked at Aunt Wang and suddenly had some thoughts in her mind.

"Brothers and sisters, I heard you tell me yesterday that your family's boss is going to let him go?" he asked Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang finally came to her senses.

"Yes! The boss said that winter is coming and the business in the store is sluggish, so he is planning to bring my Dabao back." At this point, Aunt Wang frowned.

Her family has no land, so the man and the eldest son can only go to the town to work for others to make money.

In the past, the two of us went to the dock to help people carry goods. Although it was hard work, they could still earn seventy or eighty cents a day.

But the work at the dock is sporadic and unstable.

Later, the eldest son got lucky and worked as a waiter in an inn.

Although the monthly money is not much, it is paid in monthly silver and the work is relatively easy.

She also thought that if the two men had to work hard for two more years, the family could save some money to marry Dabao.

Who would have thought-

Thinking about her eldest son, Aunt Wang almost frowned.

"Come and sit." Mrs. Shen waved to Aunt Wang and patted the seat next to her.

Aunt Wang didn't want to go there, but Shen Shuangshuang went to work.

I thought of something uncomfortable again, and wanted to chat with Mrs. Shen to ease my mood.

"Erya, you go first, mother will come later." So Aunt Wang said to her daughter and walked towards Mrs. Shen.

Wang Erya glanced at his mother and Mrs. Shen, knowing that they had something to say.

After saying yes, he left first.

Aunt Wang came to sit next to Mr. Shen and looked at the tofu box in the Shen family's yard with envy again.

"Sister Huilan, you are still lucky."

"Shuangshuang has this skill, your family will not have to worry about life." He said.

Thinking of her own situation, Aunt Wang sighed again.

"It doesn't look like my home."

"We need land, but we don't have it. Now Dabao's job is gone."

"Seeing that Erya has reached the age of proposing marriage, Dabao can't even propose a wife. If this continues—"

"Hey, we can't really use Erya's marriage to find a wife for Dabao..." Mrs. Shen glanced at Aunt Wang.

It is not uncommon for farmers to exchange their daughters for bride price and then marry their sons.

But anyone who is richer or who loves their daughter will not do that.

After all, if you really do that, your daughter will not be able to raise her head easily if she goes to her husband's house, and she may even be deliberately teased by her mother-in-law.

"What are you talking about? Erya is such a good girl, don't worry about it." Shen said in a low voice.

Aunt Wang looked at Mrs. Shen pitifully, with tears in her eyes.

After reaching out and wiping it, he nodded.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't be too hasty."

"Your Dabao is a good person. Now his job is gone. You can find another one!"

"Our Dahe Village is close to the town, so it's easy to find a job. As long as people are diligent, how can they save money?"

Aunt Wang nodded again.

"Yeah." He replied.

It seemed that Mrs. Shen felt a little unhappy.

She had been married to Dahe Village for more than [-] years. Because she stayed in the Li family, she didn't have a sister she could talk to.

After moving here, the Wang siblings often came to stay with her and gave her vegetables. She was really touched.

"Let me discuss something with you." Then, Mrs. Shen spoke.

"What's the matter?" Aunt Wang wiped her eyes again and looked at Mrs. Shen.

"How about asking your Erya, or you to come to my house to help? I'll calculate the wages for you," Mrs. Shen said.

"How much does it cost? Sister Huilan, if you need help, just tell me!" Aunt Wang said immediately.

Shen smiled.

"This is not something that happens in a day or two." He continued.

"That girl Shuangshuang signed a long-term contract with the restaurant, and she has to keep sending tofu there."

"My leg is still injured, and I can't help at all with the work at home."

"Ever since she came out of the branch family, that girl has been doing all the work in the house, and I've never seen her take any time off. If this continues, I'm worried that the girl won't be able to hold on."

"Both of your family are indeed capable." Aunt Wang said.

Shen nodded.

"I won't give you much in terms of wages. I'll only give you twenty coins."

"You and Erya can come together and help Shuangshuang make tofu."

"Twenty cents is not much?!" Aunt Wang said immediately: "My Dabao works in the town, and his monthly silver is only one or two cents."

Mrs. Shen took Aunt Wang's hand.

"You have to lift the soy milk in and out, and you have to press the tofu. It's not an easy job."

"Besides, I wouldn't worry about hiring someone else for this job." Mrs. Shen looked at Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang quickly understood.

"Sister Huilan, don't worry. Erya and I will just do our work and will never reveal your family's method of making tofu."

Shen nodded.

I wasn't worried.

After all, her daughter-in-law had already told her that the method of making tofu could not be hidden for too long.

After both parties reached an agreement, Mrs. Shen called Shen Shuangshuang and told her about asking Aunt Wang and Wang Erya to work.

Shen Shuangshuang agreed immediately.

It would indeed be much easier for her to attack with more than one person.

At the same time, the speed of making tofu can also be improved.

Aunt Wang was very enthusiastic and offered to help now, and even offered not to pay today's wages.

Shen Shuangshuang naturally disagreed, and only agreed to stay and help Aunt Wang, insisting on paying half of the wages.

With Aunt Wang's help, Shen Shuangshuang finally no longer had to run back and forth, which made her feel a lot more relaxed.

Finally, before the end of Chen time, all the tofu was ready.
