Chapter 46 Farewell!parting!
After being so busy for half an hour, until the last paper ball was caught, the candidates for the twenty helpers were all decided.Dong Rong took the workbook and wrote down everyone's names, and then hung it at the door of the hut. In the future, whoever works will be given a mark, and they can ask for leave if they have something to do.

All the young people looked at the workbook, their eyes were full of fire, and they wished that it would be filled with ink strokes immediately.Seeing this, Liu Ergouzi and others laughed and led them to get the tools, and couldn't help but guess what the lunch would be.These veteran handymen receive six hundred cash per month, which is even less than the newcomers.But after a busy period of time, the newcomers will leave, but they have errands to do for a long time.For a man who is the breadwinner of a family, there is nothing more important than having a regular salary every month.

While ordering people to go to the city to buy food and other things, Dong Rong explained to Zhao Qingshan and others how to dig ponds to fertilize the fields and how to build water trestles. She was so busy that she wished she could split herself into two.After finally dismissing the crowd, before she could catch her breath, the sun was about to climb to the top of her head again, and it was time to prepare lunch.

She was thinking about finding some helpers, but Sister-in-law Liu and another young daughter-in-law in the village, Meihua, came up the mountain after the handyman who went to the city to buy.

It turned out that Mrs. Liu was selling ice bowls in the city, and she was moved when she saw a lot of food seasonings in the handyman's burden.Now Wang Lu and his wife have the final say in the small courtyard, so it's hard for her to move forward. She planned to think about a few new ice bowls, but she was not as flexible as sister-in-law Qiu.Now that the orchard is so busy, there must be a shortage of manpower around Dong Rong, maybe this is a good opportunity for her to come forward.

She thought so clearly and threw the cart to her man, and then helped carry the baskets and other things back to the orchard with the handyman.Unfortunately, although there are not many smart people in the world, there are definitely many.When the two of them walked down the mountain, they met another young daughter-in-law in the village, Mei Hua'er. Needless to say, she also recommended herself to find Dong Rong for an errand.

Sister-in-law Liu is going to regret it, if she asked Dong Rong to finalize this matter last night, why bother to compete with others today.Meihua is not a fool, so she naturally guessed the reason why sister-in-law Liu rushed back from the city, but neither of them said anything, and instead went up the mountain hand in hand, talking and laughing.

Fortunately, Dong Rong was really short of manpower, and liked that they were familiar with each other on weekdays, so she directly set the same wages as the handymen, and then took them into the kitchen to prepare meals after simply explaining a few words.

Throw a large piece of pork belly into the pot and fry until it is oily, then add onion and ginger to saute, add soup and boil, then add tofu cubes and cabbage strips cut into mahjong-sized pieces, stew for half an hour, and the pot is glowing The big stew of milky white color is out of the pan.The handymen, old or new, each brought a large pottery bowl full, and paired it with three pancakes that were baked golden yellow, and squatted under the shade of a tree to eat heartily.

Dong Rong also took a bite of pancakes and soup, but the slightly rough pancakes were really hard to swallow, so she wondered if she should buy more thin noodles, even steamed steamed buns with double noodles.

Mrs. Liu raised her hand to add a bowl of soup for a handyman, turned around and saw Dong Rong like this, she laughed softly, "Master, I know you are kind-hearted, seeing that everyone is tired of work, I want to treat you with some delicious food. But This kind of meat dishes and pancakes would be great to keep you full, if it is even better, I am afraid that everyone will think about food every day, and instead have no time to work, and that would not be a disappointment to the good intentions of the host."

Dong Rong's subordinates stopped their chopsticks, and after listening carefully, they felt that the words made sense.If it was placed in the previous life, when the employees saw such crude meals, they would definitely scold the employer's ancestors from the grave behind their backs.But in this time and space, it is a rare good treatment.

As the old saying goes, promote Mi En, fight Mi Qiu.No matter how good things are, once they are given too much, they will become unappreciated and taken for granted.On the contrary, it's better to treat her with kindness on weekdays, and share more food during the festivals, everyone will gain face, and she will also gain a good reputation.

With such a clear understanding, Dong Rong smiled, pulled Sister-in-law Liu and praised sincerely, "Sister-in-law is right, I was wrong. In the future, sister-in-law should point out when she sees something wrong with the orchard. me."

Sister-in-law Liu was looking forward to showing her face in front of her boss, how could she not be happy after hearing this?After getting along with her these days, she also had a little understanding of Dong Rong's temper, so she was not at all modest, and responded directly, "Success, if the boss trusts me, I will chatter a little more in the future."

"I'm not afraid of my sister-in-law's nagging, but the mountain is a bit too quiet at night. If my sister-in-law can let it go, come and stay with me for a few days."

"Hey, your little couple had a fight? Why did you think of calling me here to be an eyesore?"

Dong Rong blushed, and said angrily, "Where is my sister-in-law? My Zhuzi went to the mountains with Dr. Feng to collect medicine this morning, and I don't think I won't be able to come back in three or five days. If my sister-in-law can't get away from home, just tell me, take me for a while." What are you joking about?"

Sister-in-law Liu laughed, and replied, "No wonder I haven't seen Zhuzi's figure for a long time, so he's not at home. My boss, don't worry about him. Before you got married, he was always at random. Dr. Feng went to the mountain. Every time he picked medicinal materials, Dr. Feng would give a fair price. Speaking of it, Aunt Cao always yelled how she broke up her family and married a wife for Zhuzi. In fact, no one in the village knew that the dowry money was all Zhuzi. Earn it yourself."

"The places Dr. Feng took him to are all deep mountains and old forests. I'm afraid there are many wild animals? I wanted to stop him yesterday, but it's really hard to open my mouth..."

Yesterday, a close friend of Dr. Feng's, who is also a well-known and famous doctor in several cities in the south, passed by Qing County, so he stopped by for a night.

When old man Cao heard the news, he immediately went to the Feng family to beg a famous doctor to help his little daughter.Dr. Feng has been prescribing medicines for the second sister Feng in recent years, but the little girl has not improved significantly.Maybe he also felt a little guilty, so he immediately pulled his friends to check the pulse of Second Sister Cao, and finally the two discussed for a long time before they diagnosed the disease and prescribed a prescription.And it is guaranteed that after taking the medicine for one month, most of the improvement will be made, and after two years of careful care, the root cause of the disease will be completely eliminated.

The old couple of the Cao family were so happy that they were so grateful, they almost knelt down and kowtowed.Dong Rong and Sha Zhu who rushed back after hearing the news were also happy for their second sister, and went straight to the city tomorrow to get medicine.But Dr. Feng mentioned that there is a medicine in the prescription that is very rare, and he has to take Shazhu to the deep mountains hundreds of miles away to find it.

Hearing this, old man Cao looked at Sha Zhu with a slightly hesitant expression.Granny Cao stared at her, and directly sent Sha Zhu to go to the mountain with Dr. Feng tomorrow, and not to come back until she found the medicinal materials.

Dong Rong scolded her for being vicious in her heart, and for her own daughter, she didn't care about other people's life or death.She was about to find an excuse to push this matter for Sha Zhu, but Sha Zhu agreed immediately.Dong Rong was so angry that she almost gnawed her silver teeth, but after thinking about it, she felt sad again. In the whole Cao family, only the second sister treats Shazhu the most sincerely, and it is also true that Shazhu did more for her. should.

Thinking in this way, Dong Rong didn't stop her, and packed a package for Sha Zhu overnight, including a suit of clothes, a pair of shoes and a dozen shortbread.As for the wound medicine and other things, Old Doctor Feng prepared it himself.

This morning, before the sky was bright, Silly Zhu went down the mountain dripping with dew.Although Dong Rong is busy with arranging manual purchases and tending the orchard, occasionally she feels empty and uncomfortable around her when she is free.

Since coming to this strange world, Shazhu has been by her side all the time.She doesn't feel that much on weekdays, and even occasionally gets tired of Shazhu always wandering around, leaving her no free space.But now, she was alone wherever she went, no one stood at the door waiting for her to come back, no one followed her yelling that she was hungry, and no one gave her biceps with a smirk, let her Why does she feel sour when she's showing off her anger and playing petty temper?Habits are a terrible thing...

Sister-in-law Liu didn't know that Dong Rong was so upset, she continued to comfort her, "Don't worry about it, it's not once or twice that old doctor Feng brought the pillar into the mountain. Besides, the pillar is so strong that no beast can hurt her."

Dong Rong couldn't laugh or cry when she heard that, she really wanted to say something to her, "It won't hurt your back when you stand and talk, it's not your man who entered the mountain, so naturally you don't have to worry about it."

But she also knew that Mrs. Liu had good intentions. The men here did often go hunting together in the mountains during the winter slack, and the women were also used to it.Maybe she really made a fuss...

The hired workers ate and rested under the fruit trees for a quarter of an hour. Finally, without waiting for Zhao Qingshan's urging, they took the initiative to pick up the poles, picks and other things and went down the mountain to continue their work.

The former Chen Family Orchard has now been renamed Four Seasons Garden by Dong Rong, implying that all the beautiful scenery of the four seasons is included in this garden.

Although it only took one morning, but looking down from the mountain, it is easy to find that it is quite different from the original one.A half-foot-deep ditch has been dug under the hill and around the periphery of the ten-acre Susukida. After the entire ditch is connected, a large number of "crazy people" will be dug back from the mountain and planted.

This "crazy man" is a local specialty shrub. If it is planted alone, it will still look half dead after three to five years.But if it is planted in rows and patches, it can grow a lot taller in three to five days.The most important thing is that its root system is extremely shallow, it does not grab the nutrients of the surrounding vegetation, and it is easy to pull out.Therefore, farmers like to use it instead of walls.And Dong Rong wants to transform the orchard into an independent small kingdom, so these "loyal guards" are naturally indispensable.

The small pond in the middle of Susukida also needs to be dug deep and expanded. The pond mud is picked out to fertilize the field, and then a few barrels of fish fry are poured in to raise it. Next spring, lotus roots will be planted. When the time comes, you can enjoy the flowers while fishing. It can be said that there are few joys in the world.

As for the cleared space at the foot of the mountain, a row of chicken racks must be built as soon as possible, and hundreds of chickens will be caught, and they will be driven directly to the mountain to eat insects and grass seeds on weekdays. When the autumn weather is cool, they will be enclosed in chicken racks and light a fire to keep warm. , Feeding and feeding, it happens that eggs are laid in winter, and sold to dim sum shops and restaurants, the price is more than double that of summer.
