Rebirth farming and raising buns

Chapter 148 Extortion
On the second day, Lin Shuang got up early in the morning to make breakfast before going to the orchard, as if nothing had happened.

But only she knew in her heart that she didn't fall asleep all night.

"Shuangniang, didn't you sleep well last night?" Zhao Jin was careful, and asked when Lin Shuang entered the room. He could clearly see that Lin Shuang seemed a little tired.

She didn't expect to be noticed early in the morning, and Lin Shuang's face flashed a trace of embarrassment: "It's okay, I just slept for a while after suffering from heatstroke yesterday, but I couldn't sleep at night."

Zhao Jin didn't doubt that he was there, and told her: "Don't work too hard, just rest at home today! Let Lu Cheng go in the city, and let Zhuifeng go to the orchard to have a look."

"It's okay, I'll come back early in the orchard to rest for a while, and Zhuifeng doesn't know much about that side." Lin Shuang smiled, and then went out of the house to bring other side dishes for porridge.

Seeing that Lin Shuang was right, Zhuifeng really didn't understand and let her go, but told Lin Shuang to come back early.

After Zhao Jin answered, Lin Shuang got up to clean up after dinner, but was snatched by Zhuifeng and Lu Cheng, and they left the house with their things.

"Let's go early and come back early! Let Zhuifeng and the others handle it here." Seeing Lin Shuang still standing where he was, Zhao Jin smiled. He didn't want Lin Shuang to be exhausted, and he was secretly anxious, not knowing what It's time to get better.

Understanding Zhao Jin's kindness, Lin Shuang nodded: "I was going to come back earlier today, and I'm going to change the dressing today, just to see if the injury is better."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back and change the medicine."

After Lin Shuang went out, a smile appeared on Zhao Jin's face when he thought about changing the medicine.

Now that the precious fruits are gradually ripening, Xiao Zijun likes to go to the orchard with Lin Shuang, so that he can pick a lot of delicious fruits.

Seeing that Lin Shuang was harnessing the car, Zijun immediately hugged Lin Shuang's leg: "Mother, take Junjun with you!"

"Okay." Lin Shuang responded to his son gently, and at the same time quickly put the car on.

Taking Xiao Zijun along with him, Lin Shuang's gloomy mood improved a lot because of the company of his son.

When he arrived at the orchard, Lin Shuang frowned, because all the workers were leaning against the wall wearily, as if they didn't want to move.

Seeing that many precious fruits in this fruit forest are ripening one after another, the selected rare fruits will also be transplanted into the orchard, but the orchard is still not completed, Lin Shuang can't help but feel a little impatient, but in recent days, these workers are not very serious. focus on.

"Brothers, seeing that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the construction period should be faster, otherwise..." Lin Shuang said kindly to one of them, who was the leader of this group of workers.

Originally, Zhao Jin wanted to send someone over directly, but the time was too slow, and there was no rush at all.

The people that Zhao Jin brought here were not enough, so Lin Shuang found some short-term workers from Fencheng. Later, the orchard started to be built.

When Zhao Jin went back before, the people who had brought him also followed back, and Lin Shuang asked the head of the day laborer to find someone to fill in, and everything went smoothly.

Who knows, these people have indeed been playing with one another these days, and now even Lin Shuang is still unwilling to start work.

Seeing that Lin Shuang is just a woman, the man hooked his lips with a smirk: "I said, the lady of the master, you also said that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and our masters are working under the scorching sun every day." It’s also hard work, we can’t do this job.”

In fact, it's not really impossible to do it, but now I look at the garden and it's built, but I have to pick it up. In fact, it's just to increase the money.

If Lin Shuang was really only 19 years old, and she was a peasant woman, she might be intimidated, but after two lifetimes, how could Lin Shuang fail to see the small plan in that person's heart.

Slightly lowering his eyelids, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart: He really took her for a fool.

She had actually considered this before, they needed the garden urgently, and the weather would be getting hotter and hotter, so it would be hard work at that time.

Therefore, the price Lin Shuang offered was twice as high as that of ordinary short-term jobs. In this way, paying wages on time every month is considered a balance. Moreover, Lin Shuang was also worried that these workers were working under the scorching sun, so he paid them every day at noon. They all set aside time for rest, and cooked some soup from time to time to dispel the heat for them.

She would even prepare some marginal rare fruits, but now she has fed a bunch of white-eyed wolves.

Looking up again, Lin Shuang's eyes were as calm as water, and he just asked lightly: "What do those big brothers think?"

This person's eyes lit up when he heard Lin Shuang's question. The salary of this little lady was high before, and the salary was not bad on weekdays, and there was rest time. Even they could often taste these unknown fruits in the orchard. Occasionally, I will take the extra back to give my wife and children a taste.

But seeing that the garden is about to be completed, there will be no such good work to do after it is completed.

The leader of the day laborer thought about it and decided with the other day laborers. Otherwise, let the little lady scare her and ask her to give her a little more wages. Anyway, the little lady looks kind and doesn't have much idea. of.

It's a pity that this time the estimate was wrong. Lin Shuang was really easy-going in his daily life. Lin Shuang thought that the small conditions put forward by the short-term workers were not a big problem.

But it's not that Lin Shuang really has no idea. Seeing that he has treated them well but still has his ideas on her, Lin Shuang is really angry.

Not seeing the sullen eyes in Lin Shuang's eyes, the laborer rubbed his head and said, "Since the master's wife asked, then I will not be polite. You also know that your garden is in a hurry, and our brothers are also working hard. If you don't give each of us an additional [-] yuan, it won't be in vain for us to drive you so hard for the master's wife."

"An extra hundred dollars per person?" Lin Shuang asked with raised eyebrows.

The head of the laborer nodded with a smile on his face: "Yes, add another hundred dollars." It seemed that the money had already been obtained.

However, Lin Shuang's face changed, and she really dared to say that for one hundred yuan per person, these twenty or so people cost more than two pennies, not to mention that she couldn't afford it, even if she could, it was not so expensive anywhere For the price, she is really a bully.

"At the beginning, I paid twice the salary because I thought the garden was in a hurry. These days, although I was impatient, I didn't always rush. I would arrange for everyone to rest when the day was the worst, but in the end I didn't It’s not a rich and powerful master, if you really feel that the wages I give are too little, then I have no other choice, and I can only finish it by myself.” Lin Shuang said helplessly, as if everything It is usually forced out.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shuang would say this, the face of the foreman changed, the garden would take about a month to build according to their speed, if such a good job was lost because of greed, he would not be scolded to death by his wife when he went back .

He quickly put on a smiling face, and asked with concern that seemed kind: "Master, even if we continue to rush to this garden, it will take at least a month. How can the master's wife complete it by herself? I don't want much, just The brothers have indeed worked so hard these days, smoke can come out of your mouth when you speak, not to mention it hasn’t rained for a long time, it’s almost dried out, more or less..."

The foreman didn't say he was dead this time, but tried to remind Lin Shuang with soft words.

Lin Shuang didn't reply this time, because at this moment, her heart stopped because of what the foreman said just now.

"Master's wife?" Seeing that Lin Shuang didn't speak, the foreman was uncertain about Lin Shuang's attitude, so he had to call her again.

"This garden is built in the fastest time, how long will it take?" Lin Shuang asked instead without replying.

Hearing Lin Shuang's question, the foreman hesitated for a moment: "It...will take about a month."

"I'm asking about the fastest time." Lin Shuang didn't talk to the foreman, but continued to ask, and his attitude was a little cold because of his urgency.

It was the first time the foreman saw Lin Shuang like this, and he couldn't help beating his heart. He didn't know if it was because he offended the wife of the host family because of what he said just now, but after all, the person in front of him was just a weak little lady, so the foreman still replied confidently. Said: "Master, you have too many demands on the construction of this garden, you really can only..."

Before the foreman finished speaking, Lin Shuang interrupted him: "I will still give you a month's wages, but you have to tell me, when will this garden be built the fastest?"

The foreman rolled his eyes, this business is a good deal, if they rush all day and night, and don't stop and rest like before when they have nothing to do, in fact, the rest of the garden can be built in less than ten days, but this man What exactly does the mistress mean?The foreman didn't reply for a while because he was uncertain.

Lin Shuang was also silent at this time, silently thinking about something in his heart, raised his head after a while and glanced at the general situation of the garden, and then said: "Can this garden be completed within seven days? If it can be completed, apart from the promised In addition to your monthly salary, I will add another [-] yuan to each person."

The foreman's eyes lit up. The reason why he asked for a hundred dollars before was just to give Lin Shuang a margin for bargaining. Seeing her agreeing now, he was pleasantly surprised.

It's a good deal to be able to call it a day and go back early, and get so much more wages.

But just now I have been talking for so long, it is not easy to answer, and I smiled at Lin Shuang: "The lady of the master's house will be later, this garden is not something I can do alone, I will do it with my brothers Let's discuss it."

When Lin Shuang saw the man's eyes, he knew that it was likely to happen.Gu Nengcheng, without saying much, nodded to the foreman, and then took Xiao Zijun to the side to pick fruits, leaving time for them to discuss.

Leading Xiao Zijun to the side, Xiao Zijun has known many rare fruits under the influence of Lin Shuang, and can distinguish which ones are ripe and delicious, and which ones cannot be picked. Now he is bouncing to check, But Lin Shuang frowned at this moment.
