The splendid life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 73
"How about I dig ten of them a day?" someone asked hastily.

"If all ten of you come as required, I will give you two hundred cash, and the wages will be settled every day." Xie Zhimo said.

"Then can we sign up to dig the nest?" Someone continued to ask, the wages are settled every day, and the amount of digging counts. At the end of the day, if you don't want to do it, you can leave at any time.

"You can come, but I said the ugly things before, if anyone comes to make trouble, we won't be able to dig a nest in a day, and we will naturally not want such people again." Xie Zhimo said.

Everyone nodded, the high wages are very reasonable.

"By the way, what's the matter with the grapefruit tree?" someone asked.

Speaking of pomelo trees, Yao Chang said, "There are many pomelo trees on Nanshan Mountain. You can dig them. Of course, you can also use other channels. As long as you bring them that can be planted, we will charge you [-] yuan per tree." received at the price."

"Hiss." Many people in the crowd gasped. This hundred cash is not a low price. Besides, grapefruit trees can be dug at will on Nanshan Mountain, which is equivalent to giving them a hundred cash.

"What do you mean by being able to grow a living?" Someone in the crowd asked, thinking about going to the mountain early tomorrow morning to dig grapefruit trees.

"Of course we have to keep the roots, and it's best to dig them out completely." In fact, even if the damage is a little bit, Yao Chang can still grow, but it will be a lot of trouble, so he mentioned a few more words when explaining.

"Are all of them a hundred words?" someone asked.

"If the tree is more than one foot long, I will add an extra [-] Wen." Yao Chang replied, this is what he discussed with Yao Yu later, adding up the prices, I am not afraid that no one will stop digging this kind of big grapefruit tree. .

"That's [-] Wen!" The crowd began to calculate whether to dig a tree or dig a nest. When the news spread, many people would definitely dig a tree, so most of them decided to go to the mountain to dig a tree first.

Yao Yu was not worried that everyone would go digging trees, and no one would come to dig tree nests, because soon, Yao Yu sent out a message like Shuangshui Village, who is willing to dig tree nests, no matter men, women or children, as long as Can dig well.

This time, a lot of strong women in the village moved their minds and came to Yao Yu to inquire. Most of these people have never planted trees, but fortunately, women are naturally careful. Xie Zhimo explained a little bit, and everyone understood up.

"Then when did the construction start?" Someone said.

"The twentieth day of the first lunar month." Xie Zhimo said, he asked someone to read it, this day is easy to break ground, and the time reserved is enough for him and Yao Chang to go to the back mountain to clean it first, and then measure the amount of digging. Every place where a nest can be dug, a fork is drawn with charcoal on it, so that it is convenient for the villagers to do it.

Yao Yu didn't know anything about it. After preparing three meals a day, he started tidying up the duck feathers at home. After the new year, Yao Yu began to plan for this year's money-making plan. Grapefruit trees must have invested a lot. If you want to get a profit return If so, you have to wait two years or more.

This year has to take care of the barren hills, Xie Zhimo may not be able to go out to make money, and the old books at home cannot be used all the time, and the income from the duck down jacket will not be available until the end of the year. Besides, she will not be able to go to Hehua Town, but she can go to Jiangzhou.

Yao Yu's eyes brightened. Going to Jiangzhou is much closer than going to Hehua Town. Besides, there are many adults in Jiangzhou, and the business is the best. Thinking of this, Yao Yu took out 100 taels of silver and planned to visit Jiangzhou tomorrow. If it doesn't work, just rent a storefront, or rent a booth.

After Xie Zhimo and Yao Chang came back in the evening, Yao Yu discussed the matter with Xie Zhimo, but Xie Zhimo was a little worried, "I will accompany you tomorrow."

"Then there's no need, we've been to Jiangzhou so many times, isn't it all right?" Yao Yu said, "Besides, you still have to help take care of the back mountain at home."

In the last two days, Yao Chang and Xie Zhimo went to the back mountain just after dawn, and cleaned up all the useless weeds in the back mountain, and then started to draw the points for digging the nest.

"This barren mountain is also a big deal." Yao Yu said, "Second brother must be busy all by himself, and I went to Jiangzhou just to see it."

Yao Chang was also a little worried when he heard about this, "Let Zhimo go with you."

"I'm just going to check the market tomorrow, so you can do your own work. I'll go by horse-drawn carriage. Don't worry, I'll be back before noon." If Yao Yu drives a horse-drawn carriage, he can reach Jiangzhou in only a quarter of an hour. If he uses an ox cart, Inevitably half an hour.

Yao Yu's skills in driving a carriage are pretty good now, Xie Zhimo can rest assured, the most important thing is that he knows that Yao Yu is a man of one word, "Okay, but you must come back before noon."

"Don't worry." Yao Yu felt that if he walked a few more times, they might feel relieved.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yao Yu drove the carriage to Jiangzhou after preparing breakfast.Although Jiangzhou after the new year was not as lively as the twelfth lunar month, the popularity was not bad. Yao Yu went directly to the place where he rented the booth last time.

"Guest officer, are you renting a booth or a shop?" the waiter came to ask as soon as he entered the door.

"Look at them all." Yao Yu replied, she prefers shops, so that there is a place to put ingredients.

Since there are not many people recently, there are only three people who are in charge of making contact. One of these three people, Yao Yu, still knows him. of.

Yao Yu walked directly in front of Guanshi Peng. When Guanshi Peng saw Yao Yu, he had some impressions that he had acquainted with Yao Yu when he rented the booth last year, so he asked, "Are you still renting a booth this time?"

Yao Yu shook his head, "Renting a booth or shop is not for selling groceries, but for selling breakfast."

"I recommend you to rent in Dongshi, there are more people here." The Dongshi in Jiangzhou is indeed more prosperous than the West, as Guanshi Peng spread out the map, "If there is no white note on it, it means it can be rented out. .”

After staying in Jiangzhou for a while, Yao Yu naturally knew which area was better and had more people, so Yao Yu directly focused on this area.Guanshi Peng nodded silently when he saw the location Yao Yu was looking at. This location is indeed good, but the rent is relatively expensive.

Guanshi Peng saw that Yao Yu couldn't take it down for a while, so he suggested, "This stall or this store is not bad."

"What is the rent for this stall and shop?" Yao Yu asked.

"The rent for a stall is fifty taels a day, five hundred taels for ten days, and one tael a month. The rent for this shop is 30 taels a month," Guanshi Peng introduced.

The rent of the store in Jiangzhou was indeed much higher than that in Hehua Town. At that time, Yao’s store was only 88 taels, which was 30 taels for a month’s rent alone. “Can I go and see the store?”

"Let's go, I'll accompany you for a walk." Guanshi Peng said, anyway, it's only the beginning of the new year, and the shop is not busy, so it's okay to leave for a while.

The decoration of the shop is a bit outdated. If it is rented out, the furnishings inside will have to be replaced with new ones. However, the layout is much better than that of Hehua Town. The shop has three floors in total. Besides the lobby, there is a The small room, Yao Yu can use this small place to make breakfast, the space is completely enough, there are some more wing rooms on the second and third floors, if Yao Yu wants to make something more high-end earlier, then these wing rooms It can be used, but there is not much space on the third floor, only one large room.

"This way please." After visiting the front, Guanshi Peng took Yao Yu to the backyard.

To Yao Yu's surprise, there was a well in the backyard. It would be very convenient to use it for cooking. Immediately, Yao Yu thought about it, "Peng Guanshi, does every courtyard here have a well?"

Guanshi Peng shook his head, "Nowhere can there be a well, but there must be water in the ground." The implication is that there is only this courtyard.

"How much silver taels will you get if you buy this shop?" Yao Yu asked.

"800 taels of silver." Guanshi Peng said.

Yao Yu was surprised that it was so expensive, "Is this price negotiable?"

Steward Peng shook his head, "The price is set, and we have no right to change it." I think so, if these stewards have the right to change, the prices of this stall and shop have long been messed up, so in Fangzhuang all The prices are clearly marked on the maps of the stalls and shops.

Yao Yu didn't have enough money with her, but she didn't think about buying the shop right away, "Let me think about it again, thank you, Guanshi Peng."

Guanshi Peng is also thinking about this matter. If it can be done, it will be a big deal. Maybe he still has room for improvement this time. It is said that their shopkeeper will be transferred soon. Cheng, maybe the location of the shopkeeper is his. Thinking of this, Guanshi Peng made a favor, "Okay, I will reserve the location of this shop for you for three days." Anyway, no one will come to rent this place in the near future. shop.

"That's fine, I'll just thank shopkeeper Peng here." Yao Yu said.

As soon as noon arrived, Xie Zhimo and Yao Chang hurried to the east to wait. Fortunately, Yao Yu came back soon. The two big men breathed a sigh of relief. Yao Yu couldn't laugh or cry when she saw this. How are you, but even so, Yao Yu still smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine."
