Sturdy and pretty daughter-in-law Shanlihan

Chapter 452
"Just wash the bracken, as long as you pay some wages, there are many people in the village who are willing to do it." It was Zhang Lao who spoke, and he came from the bedroom.

"Daddy Zhang..." Su Qingyue stood up politely when she saw him.

"Daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, don't be busy..." He said politely, "Just sit down."

"I've already said it, you two elders can just call me Qingyue or Yue'er."

"Okay, okay..." Aunt Zhang called out, "Qingyue, how many people are you going to find to work for you?"

"Let's find ten of them." She asked, "I don't know how much a day's wages usually cost?"

"It's just washing vegetables. Money is not so easy to earn." Aunt Zhang said, "Someone in the village went to Liu'an Town, three hundred miles away from the town, to work as a waiter. The salary was three hundred yuan a month, and it was only ten yuan a day. Wen. If you give me ten Wen a day, that’s enough.”

Qingyue thought for a while, "I'll give fifteen cents a day's wages, but you have to be diligent. You can wash five or six hundred catties of bracken a day. Aunt Zhang, can you help me find ten people? For the wages, I can finish it in one day. I will finish the job now."

Aunt Zhang was heartbroken about the money, "Fifteen cents a day is so much? Now, although you can sell bracken for half a penny a catty, it's still a good deal to find bracken, but in the nearby mountains and in the mountains farther away, bracken has been harvested for a long time. It’s all gone, it’s not easy to get bracken, and bayberry is also hard to find. If you’re looking for a job, there must be someone rushing to do it.”

"I have a request. To wash the fern, I have to pick it from my house and wash it in the river. When washing, I first pick off the curly fern flower, wipe off the fine hair, put it in the jar designated by me, rinse it, and then take it Come out to dry, of course, I will pay the wages by the day. I won’t cover the food and so on.”

Aunt Zhang patted her chest, "No problem, I'll take care of you."

Father Zhang said, "Qingyue, thanks to you, the village has sold all the bracken, and everyone has made some money. There are many people who thank you. In previous years, this kind of astringent and unpalatable bracken In the rotten mountains, no one wants to come here. There is also red bayberry, such a sour fruit, and no one eats it. What do you think the big family who bought it on your behalf will do with it?"

Su Qingyue didn't want to lie, she just said, "I'll tell you later."

"Old man, don't ask too many questions." Aunt Zhang gave him a sideways look.

Father Zhang smiled frankly with his wrinkled face, thinking of what happened last time, "Qingyue, last time I went to Qingmu Village, I already told your elder sister Xiao Ailiu about the situation of the Xiao family. Has it flowed back?"

She shook her head.

Aunt Zhang sighed, "Xiao Ailiu is too heartless. As Xiao's elder sister, before she got married, the burden of the Xiao family was always carried by Dashan. She didn't care about it at all, and she always hated things. The last time my old man brought the message, you hadn’t sold the recipe yet. If Xiao Ailiu knew that you made money selling the recipe, he wouldn’t come back and grab it.”

"It's not possible." Father Zhang disagreed, "I see Xiao Ailiu's attitude, if she hasn't come back for so many years, she definitely doesn't plan to have any more contact with the Xiao family. Probably won't come back."

"Follow her and come back." Su Qingyue didn't know the woman anyway, "By the way, I still need a vat or a large wooden basin when soaking bracken. Whoever has it is useless, can you borrow some for me? ? I will give you one penny for the usage fee for one day."

"It's a good deal. There are so many households in the village. If there are idle ones, they must be borrowed from you." Aunt Zhang said, "My family has an old tank and an old big pot. There are two of them."
