Sweet Garden Bliss

Chapter 226 I Love Salt

Bai Laoer is also a businessman with the most speculative vision. After squatting on the ground and scratching for a long time, he pondered: "But the construction workers who can build houses now, plus Manager Lu invited back from outside, and Uncle Li called from the village The honest young man is full of money, only a dozen people, there are still many capable people in the brick kiln, but you can't lose the work of the brick kiln, that is the hen that can lay the most eggs, and those who are idle and black-hearted can't go to the kiln. Put it in."

In yesterday's farce, the behavior of A Dong and other hired workers on the brick kiln was very heart-warming. Bai Er Er no longer wanted to completely deny everyone in this hometown. At least, the people Uncle Li helped pick out were enough to pay trust.

"You can ask Uncle Li. Now Uncle Li has the final say in the village. If you think you can manage the customs and habits of the villagers well, then I suggest recruiting and training masons in this village. It will be more convenient." A Yuan expressed her thoughts, You can't deny opportunities to fellow villagers based on past performance. After all, they were born and raised here, and they are here at all, and they don't plan to move away for a while. , There will inevitably be future troubles.

Yesterday, Li Laoli was able to summon so many villagers to attack in an instant, isn't it enough for him to reflect on his position in the village?A dozen young people who have been with the Bai family for a long time refuse to follow blindly, why?Isn't it also because we have been together for a long time and have a sense of trust in each other?

Even if the confused village atmosphere rots down to the roots, Ah Yuan hopes to grow fresh seedlings from the roots. In her previous life, her personality restricted her opportunities to communicate with others.In this life, she hopes to change.

Human beings are social animals. If we can live in harmony, who would really like to be alone?

This suggestion was somewhat difficult for Bai Laoer to accept, and the hatred for the Misty Formation that had been formed since childhood could not be changed for a while.

However, although this young man is young and stubborn, he will not ask others to deal with problems according to his own way of thinking.The brick kiln is the property of his sister-in-law, so he can only help, not wanting to hold back.

"Then I'll call Master Jia and Uncle Li to discuss it together." Bai Er Er got up, with a smile on his face: "Sister-in-law, I arranged for a master blacksmith to build a two-wheeled car for you. The master is very surprised." It is said that it is impossible to stand on two wheels, let alone walk."

Ah Yuan was also happy, his eyes sparkled: "Second Brother, wait for the car to be built, and watch my sister-in-law demonstrate it to you. A car with two wheels is stronger and faster than a car with three wheels!"

Uncle Li arrived soon, but Master Jia was slower.Bending over and coughing badly.

"Master Jia is sick? Have you taken any medicine?" Ah Yuan didn't see Master Jia face to face yesterday, but it turned out that he was sick, and it seemed to be quite serious.

"It's not a big deal! Cough cough—my boss, Dr. Wen prescribed me some medicine before he left. He's quite in charge, but the cough doesn't always go well, cough—"Master Jia almost coughed up his lungs.

Uncle Li hurriedly stood between Ah Yuan and Master Jia, his expression was very anxious: "Master Jia, can't it be tuberculosis?"

Tuberculosis is tuberculosis, which is contagious, and the peasants know that they will turn pale when they talk about it.

"No, no, cough, doctor Wen has read it a long time ago, definitely not, that is, it means that my food tastes heavy, so it's always bad to cough—" Master Jia was shocked by Uncle Li's words I was terrified, tuberculosis is serious, and no family will hire such patients again, and I still want to work in the brick kiln for a few more years.

It's not tuberculosis, so it's easy. Uncle Li stepped aside and smiled embarrassedly: "Master Jia, you have to pay attention to this problem. What are you afraid of if you eat less salt? The last time we ate together, I just ate it." Seeing you taking out a salt bag from the bag of your clothes, dare you, do you carry seasoning with you?"

In order to be able to eat, I add some salt grains to the food for each meal. This is the first time Ah Yuan has heard of such a person, and she is also very happy.

Master Jia reached into the bag with one hand, and really took out a big salt bag, sighed and shook his head: "Your taste is so light that I can't understand it, I eat your food, it's as bland as drinking plain water , you have to add a pinch of salt to make it taste sweet."

But eating too much salt is not good after all, so A Yuan also persuaded him a few words, and also came up with the idea of ​​drinking light salt water before eating, and asked Master Jia to try it.

The three of them got to the point, counted the number of employees in the brick kiln factory, and discussed for a while before finally deciding on a short-term development plan for increasing the number of employees in the confused formation.

Uncle Li is very happy to allow more villagers in Mifuzhen to have another way to earn money. The sales of red bricks will definitely increase in the future. There are still many shortages of hired workers for kilns, transportation, and construction. As long as Ah Yuan can hire Mifuzhen at ease villagers, he is willing to do the management work for free.

Uncle Li is 36 years old this year, and it is the golden age of his career. A "Lizheng" stuffed pie fell from the sky and hit him. All the relatives, young and old, and the relatives of the mother's family on the wife's side, there is no one who does not applaud and congratulate. , Uncle Li's father, shaking his beard, asked: "You have been given an official position because of the smoke from the ancestral grave of our family. You have to do things for the village well, and don't let people point at us. You are greedy for money and black-hearted, father does not expect to enjoy your wealth, father only hopes that you are doing well here, so that people will give a thumbs up and praise the success of the descendants of our old Li family!"

Therefore, Uncle Li now really wants to do something good for the village. He is willing to believe that as long as the villagers are rich, their quality will be improved accordingly.

As the saying goes: "Troublemakers come out of poor mountains and evil waters", if the family is so rich, then there will be no more scandals of coveting other people's property and resorting to various means to obtain it?

The preliminary plan is to recruit [-] young and middle-aged men from the confused formation to form a construction team, to study with the original skilled workers for a period of time, and when the spring begins, they will be able to work independently.

This period of study is also a period of investigating the human nature of the villagers. If there are any people who want to get something for nothing and take advantage of it again, they will be sent back and will not be hired again.

Master Jia said goodbye, coughing and explaining: "These days, I haven't fired the glazed bricks that my master wants. I have tried all kinds of methods. The red clay, water, and loess used to burn the bricks for the first time are all the same. I can’t burn the glazed glass either. Ahem——I’ll try again with a few clay bricks—”

In scientific experiments, we always have to figure out the rules through repeated failures.

Watching the back of Master Jia leaving, Ah Yuan suddenly noticed that behind Master Jia, there was a winding white trace.

Is it because the salt paper bag that helped Master Jia season the food leaked?

Uncle Li waved at A Yuan: "Don't tell him, wait until the leak is over, and see if he can eat when it's time to eat."

Two people, one big and one small, looked at each other and smiled, just like children who have done harmless bad things without being noticed.

When Uncle Li returned to the village, he began to call for job recruitment, so that young and middle-aged people who were willing to go to the brick kiln to learn how to burn bricks and build buildings would sign up first, and then he would decide with A Yuan who he could give them the opportunity to learn.

This is the latest good news after yesterday's farce, and the confusion became lively again for a while.

Winter is the slack period for farming. There are a lot of idlers in every household. Who wants to earn more money nearby? I heard that the families of the hired workers on the brick kilns are living a prosperous life. Otherwise, why did they call their parents yesterday The family was making a fuss, but they didn't even follow?

For a while, the gate of Uncle Li’s house was about to be squeezed. Aunt Li was boiling hot water in the kitchen, and there was almost no supply. There were too many people coming, and she was afraid of being left behind. People who are friendly come with you, and when you come, you are reluctant to leave, for fear of being robbed of a good opportunity by others, so how can you drink a pot of hot water?

The most rare thing is that Uncle Li's father came to Li's house with a bundle and bedding. The old man stroked his beard and explained: "It's the first time that Xiaoer is in charge of such a big thing. My old man is worried, so I help him look at it Come on, don't make a mistake."

Uncle Li's eldest brother bowed to everyone: "The old man insists on moving over to watch over his second brother, because he is afraid that his work is not serious. I am the boss, and the old man should be supported by me. I will pay for the food and clothing in the future, so I will stay with the second brother first." Shut it up for a few days, and when he develops his ability, I will take my father away."

The habit of the rural people, the support and housing of the elders in the family follow the eldest brother, and the rest of the younger brothers are only responsible for providing food, clothing, filial piety and so on. Like the Li family, the old man insists on living with the second child, which is actually a bit ruined The image of Boss Li is like a family that doesn't respect the elderly.

Therefore, it must be explained clearly that Mr. Li still has unmarried children in his family, and his reputation cannot be ruined by this.

How can a room of people misunderstand?Everyone gathered around the old man to congratulate him on his good fortune. His children and grandchildren are all filial and promising, and they have won the favor of officials. Now that they can be upright, how do they know that they will not become bigger officials in the future?

The old man smiled happily, shaking his beard and chatting intimately with every guest. Uncle Li got a break and slipped out of the house to report the progress to Ah Yuan.

At present, there are more than 50 people who have signed up. It is really a question of who will go and who will stay. Uncle Li now thinks from the perspective of Lizheng, and thinks that these villagers should help. You can change for the better if you give it a chance!

However, he was also worried that Ah Yuan would be worried about those who had just caused trouble in the Bai family, so he marked it on the list, thanking Li's father, who sent Uncle Li to school when he was a child.
