The first concubine of farming

Chapter 49
Because the family has three acres of paddy fields that can be used to grow rice, and other fields need to be planted with other things. Now Bai Yishi is the only one in the family, so she can't be busy at all, so she plans to ask the village head to help find some part-time workers Come help and tidy up all the land.

In order to hire short-term workers, Bai Yishi took out a bottle of sorghum wine made from sorghum in her space, and took some snacks she made to the village chief's house.

"Grandpa Village Chief, are you home?" Bai Yanshi knocked on the door of the Village Chief's house and called.

"It's Sister Shi. I'm at home. The door is unlocked. Come in." Village head Bai and the village head's wife are cutting sweet potato seeds into ready-to-plant forms when they heard Bai Yanshi's voice calling for the door. .

"Village Chief Grandpa, Village Chief Grandma, hello!" Bai Yishi opened the door and walked in, greeting the village chief and his wife.

"Sister Shi is here, you wait, your grandma and I stewed delicious sweet potato soup today, I'll bring you a bowl." The wife of the village head is a very gentle, kind and enthusiastic old man. Then he put down his work and said with a smile.

"Grandma, village head, this is too much trouble for you," Bai Yishi said immediately when she heard that the village head's wife wanted to bring her sweet potato soup.

"No trouble, no trouble, it's rare that Sister Shi came, and there is nothing to entertain at home, it's just a bowl of sweet potato soup, what's so troublesome?" The village head's wife said with a smile, and then did not wait for Bai Yanshi to refuse again , went into the room on his own, went to the kitchen, and went to bring sweet potato soup to Bai Yishi.

Seeing the back of the village chief's wife walking to the kitchen, she no longer refused, but came to the village chief with the wine in her hand.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I brought you this wine. I brewed it myself." Bai Yushi handed the wine in her hand to Village Chief Bai.

"Hmm! It's really good wine, you know it's good when you smell it, but, Miss Shi, you didn't just bring me wine, did you?" Village Chief Bai put down his work and took the wine from Bai Yanshi's hand He smelled it, and then said inscrutablely.

"Hey, all this can't be hidden from you, Grandpa Village Chief," Bai Yanshi said with a smile.

"Okay, Sister Shi, tell me, what is the reason you came to see me?" Village Chief Bai put the wine in his hand aside, then glanced at Bai Yanshi, and continued to be busy with his work. road.

"It's like this, grandpa of the village head, you know, since my cousin came back to his house, there is no one in our family who can do heavy work. You see, it's time for spring plowing again. Ten acres of land, I can't do it all by myself. I came to you today just to ask you to help me see if you can find some short-term labor for me. I will pay fifty cents a day as wages. I won't treat you badly," Bai Yanshi walked to Village Chief Bai, knelt down, helped cut sweet potato pieces, and said.

"That's it, I'll just ask your Uncle Laifu to help you. Why don't you find a day job and waste money?" Village Chief Bai said after hearing Bai Yanshi's words.

"Grandpa Village Chief, how can I do this? I would be embarrassed to trouble Uncle Laifu all the time. What's more, your family has more fields than mine. Uncle Laifu and Aunt Laifu can't help me at all. , and you know, Grandpa the village chief, because in the winter, I also made a little money selling vegetables, and my cousin gave me some money when he left (it was fabricated in order to use the money to hire part-time workers), so please I can still afford short-term labor, so I don’t have to worry about running out of money,” Bai Yushi said.

"Sister Shi, I know what you said, but aren't brothers Chen and Brother Xi studying now? Reading costs a lot of money, so you can save some money if you can, and they are doing part-time jobs in the town The money you get is only thirty Wen, but you have to give fifty Wen, isn’t this a waste of money?” Village Chief Bai criticized.

"Grandpa the village chief, I have thought about giving fifty Wen as wages. In order to allow those short-term laborers to help me tidy up those fields carefully, it doesn't matter how much wages are paid. Besides, it is spring plowing now, which is a busy time. When the wages are high, people will be willing to do this part-time job. However, Grandpa Village Chief, when you are looking for part-time workers, it is best to find people whose families are not very busy, otherwise it will delay the spring plowing of other people’s homes. Alright," Bai Yanshi analyzed to Village Chief Bai.

"You, okay, anyway, what I say is that you are going to hire short-term laborers. You say that you can rent out the land to others to grow, so that you don't have to be so troublesome, and you don't need to spend money. There are renters to collect," Village Chief Bai said helplessly when he saw that Bai Yan's poems could not be persuaded.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I know what you said is very reasonable, but I just like farming, and, Grandpa Village Chief, you also know that my father and I have read a lot of agricultural books, so there are some agricultural books that can I plan to use these fields to try the method of increasing grain production, and it is now," Bai Yushi said.
