Teases the peasant girl to be busy

Chapter 93
The county magistrate looked at it for a long time before continuing to ask: "The watermelon is a fruit, so what else can I do besides eating it raw?"

Gu Shuang thought for a while before opening his mouth: "It's mainly eaten raw, and then you can squeeze the juice. The others seem to be gone. Of course, if the watermelon rind is cleaned, it is also a side dish."

In fact, there are many ways to eat watermelon in modern times, but in ancient times, she really didn't know how to make smoothies, but when it comes to smoothies!

Gu Shuang suddenly remembered, it seems that saltpeter can make ice. With watermelon, it is not impossible to set up a fruit salad or even a fruit smoothie shop.

Thinking of this, Gu Shuang's heart was a little moved, but the county magistrate was speechless. Where did this girl think of going?After coughing twice, Gu Shuang was pulled back to his senses.

"Shuang girl, what I mean is, if all the people in the nearby counties are allowed to grow watermelons, do you think it's okay?"

Gu Shuang blinked his eyes: "Yes, I can provide the seeds, and they are not expensive. It costs five cents a catty, and a catty can plant a piece of land! But if there are too many watermelons."

"It's going to be sold elsewhere. It's very troublesome without a caravan."

In Gu Shuang's view, it was a troublesome matter, but the county magistrate waved his hand: "What's the trouble, I can contact the caravan! By the way, how many ripe watermelons do you have now?"

"I'm going to the capital farther away. You said that you can save it for half a month. I will make people hurry up and deliver it in seven or eight days."

Hearing what the adults said, Gu Shuang did not object: "Okay, I can give you the current batch first, and the ones I sell are not expensive, sixty yuan a catty, after all, they are new things."

"Things are rare and expensive, adults should be able to bear it?"

Hearing Gu Shuang's words, Uncle Li couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, Miss Gu Shuang likes money very much, no matter who she talks about money first, the county magistrate laughed.

"Okay, sixty is sixty! See how many you can find, I want them all."

Gu Shuang snorted, and seeing that the matter was almost finished, he said, "Okay, I'll go back today and organize the manpower. After picking it up, I'll send it to you tomorrow."

"In addition, I will give you how to store it. Adults can prepare some incense ash in advance, or burnt hay ash from the kitchen. The more the better!"

Seeing Gu Shuang's impatience, the county magistrate guessed that he was interested in the price of [-] Wen, that's right!I didn't know what to say, so I said, "Okay, then you go back first."

And the county magistrate's wife looked at Gu Shuang worriedly: "That Shuang'er, you will come tomorrow too, remember to bring the whitening one."

Gu Shuang nodded: "Good lady, Gu Shuang will leave first."

After saying that, he took Uncle Li out of the county government office, took a look at the county government office, and then Gu Shuang looked at Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, this lord is quite kind, at least he knows that he has to pay!"

Uncle Li said he was very speechless, he would be a good official if he didn't embezzle your money, this girl's temperament seems to need to be studied!After Gu Shuang got into the carriage, Uncle Li drove the carriage home.

When I got home, I saw that it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and I looked at Uncle Li: "By the way, Uncle Li, since you have been in charge, how well do you understand the nature of those short-term workers?"

Who is Uncle Li?The judge was accurate one by one, so he said: "Uncle Gu can look at the piece of rice in the field, it's okay, you can give it to him."

"When it comes to growing melons here, I'm looking at three people who are very hardworking..."

After telling all the things of the past few months in turn, Gu Shuang knew it well, and looked at Uncle Li: "Uncle Li, go find all the people you mentioned now."

After returning home, Gu Shuang assigned tasks to Uncle Li, and then waited in the lobby. Aunt Li made a pot of tea for Gu Shuang, and Gu Shuang also took a sip, um, not bad.

Without waiting for a long time, I saw that Uncle Li had brought all the people, and Mother Gu had also come out at this time. Seeing that Gu Shuang had brought all the people here, he was still a little puzzled.

And Gu Shuang actually found a lot of people. Seeing everyone looking at Gu Shuang, they all looked a little embarrassed, Gu Shuang couldn't help being a little funny: "Uncles, don't be nervous!"

"I came to you today because I wanted to discuss something with you. We have seen your performance during this period of time, so I want to talk to you about whether you want to come to my house as a long-term worker."

"The salary of a long-term worker is 12 taels of silver a year, and then I will build some wooden houses in the field, and you will live in those wooden houses and watch the work in the field."

"I don't know what you think?"

When a few people came, they were still a little uncertain. If they worked as part-time workers in the second room of Gu's family, they could get 35 Wen a day, and even one tael a month would cost an extra fifty Wen.

But the Gu family doesn't need so many short-term workers, who knows when there will be no work to do, but if you work as a long-term worker, you can get 12 taels of silver a year, which is fixed.

Several people discussed it and agreed: "Okay, Shuang girl, I agree."

It was Gu Wushu who spoke directly, and Gu Shuang agreed: "Okay, this is the contract I prepared, you can take a look, and then sign the contract, and I will hand over the five acres of rice to you in the future. "

"As for who will come to work, you can choose. In addition, if the harvest is good, there will be additional rewards! For example, an acre of rice will yield three stones per mu."

"If you take good care of it and complete the production of four shi per mu, then the extra shi can reward you with an extra [-] Wen!"

Although it doesn't look like much, but in reality they can still receive a lot. Of course, the 12 taels of silver alone is enough to attract them, and Gu Shuang has this rule.

Of course, they want to increase their enthusiasm, and the rice now usually yields three stones per mu. It just so happens that Gu Shuang didn't use the seeds exchanged in the system this time, and the yield of almost three stones per mu is considered to be the extreme.

Uncle Gu was very happy, looking at Gu Shuang: "Don't worry, Shuang girl, I will definitely take care of the rice fields."

Gu Shuang nodded, and then looked at the other two. These two people seemed to be about the same age as Uncle Gu. At this moment, Mother Gu said, "This is Uncle Seven and Uncle Ninth."

Uncle Li also spoke at this time: "The two of them usually take care of the melon fields."

The two of them took good care of such a large melon field, so Gu Shuang nodded: "Uncle Seven, Uncle Nine, I will distribute the melon field to you. Of course, my watermelon yield is [-] catties per mu."

"If there are more, I will reward you with fifty points of one thousand gold!"

Seventh Uncle and Ninth Uncle also came to sign the contract, and then they both looked at Gu Shuang: "Don't worry, boss, we will work hard."
