The control group of the ancient heroine

Huang Hu's wife said: "I don't know. On the first day when I came, Aunt Fan came to deliver food and mentioned that the food delivered by the kitchen for three meals a day was for the head man of the family, and the family was not responsible for the family's meals. I thought that since the man was not here today, he might not deliver food, so I cooked some myself. And even if it was delivered, I could save it for dinner, so it wouldn't be a problem."

In fact, the kitchen gave the man enough food. Not to mention that he was 100% full, but he was 70% full at every meal. Every morning, he had a bowl of sweet potato and brown rice porridge, and occasionally a boiled egg or meat, steamed buns, etc. Every lunch and dinner was a mixture of brown rice and rice, and a few potatoes were added, and the dishes were also one meat and one vegetable. The food here is much better than the daily life at home, at least here you can see meat every day.

So, she is very satisfied with this life. Moreover, she can share some of the food with the men, and if it is not enough, she can cook some rice by herself, but she doesn't have to cook dishes. So there is no burden in our family.

Meng Ping's wife heard it: "Oh, why didn't I think of it." Indeed, even if the kitchen sends it, it can be left for dinner. "

Yang Haiyan doesn't care what the private guards' wives are thinking. She is thinking in the study at the moment. The private guards' wives are here, so it's not a big deal to send meals to the private guards. Why not stop sending meals every month and subsidize the food directly.

Yang Haiyan sets a food quota of about 200 wen for each private guard. If the food is subsidized, then five catties of rice, five catties of brown rice, five catties of sweet potatoes, and five catties of potatoes per month, a total of 110 wen. Vegetable noodles, one egg, four catties of vegetables, two catties of meat, and two catties of ribs per month, a total of 100 wen. Add it up, each private guard is 190 wen per month.

This is much less troublesome than food.

"Madam, Uncle Hong is here." The voice of Aunt Lian sounded.

Yang Haiyan put down the pen: "Let him in. "

Uncle Hong walked into the study in a proper manner: "Madam, you are looking for me?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Uncle Hong, how much is one mu of land in the countryside?"

Uncle Hong was stunned. Although he didn't understand what Yang Haiyan meant, he said honestly: "Top-quality land is 10 taels of silver per mu, medium-quality land is 6 taels of silver per mu, and low-quality land is 4 taels of silver per mu."

Yang Haiyan thought about it and took out 100 taels of silver: "Go buy 10 mu of medium-quality land." Although 60 taels is enough, it is better to prepare more silver for buying things.

Uncle Hong took the silver: "Yes." But he asked again, "Madam, are you going to plant something?"

Yang Haiyan said: "Yes, plant potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, etc., and then build a pig pen, chicken pen and duck pen over there. "There are many things at home. If you buy these things outside, it will definitely not be cheaper than raising and planting them at home. Moreover, she has to "buy" other vegetable seeds and fruit seeds from the peddlers. How can she do it without land?

Uncle Hong: "Then I will go down and do it."

Yang Haiyan: "Thank you for your hard work."

Soon after Uncle Hong left, the private guards came, including Kun Zhang's mother, Meng Ping's wife, Meng Ping's daughters Meng Ju and Meng An, and Huang Hu's wife.

Yang Haiyan was in the study, and the private guards came in politely: "Meet the madam." Everyone had never learned the rules. When they were in their hometown, they lived in the countryside and towns. So when they were nervous, they were not polite. They all lowered their heads and didn't even dare to raise their heads.

Yang Haiyan said in a gentle voice: "No need to be polite, please sit down. "There is a wooden sofa custom-made by Yang Haiyan in the study room. It is long and can accommodate several people.

Private guard family: "I dare not sit down."

Yang Haiyan said: "It's okay. We still have to chat. If you don't sit down, I dare not keep you to chat for too long, otherwise it will be tiring to stand."

After Yang Haiyan said this, the private guard family sat down.

After they sat down, Yang Haiyan said: "Except for Captain Kun's family, the rest of you can introduce yourself, how old you are this year, what you do at home, and introduce yourself."

Meng Ping's wife said first: "My husband is Meng Ping, my maiden name is Qiu, and I am twenty-five this year. I am used to doing farm work at home, but I can do all farm work. "

Yang Haiyan looked at Meng Qiushi, the legendary wife of Meng Ping. Her facial features were a bit rough, which made her look a bit masculine among women. She was a typical rural woman when she talked. Her eyes were quite upright.

Yang Haiyan felt that this was different from the Meng Qiushi she had imagined. She would come to ask about the monthly allowance and say that there was not enough food. The Meng Qiushi she had in her mind... should be like Aunt Qin. Or, the ones who are even better than Aunt Qin are always the best in novels. But looking at Mrs. Meng Qiu, she seems to be a careless person.

In short, she is not that smart, and she says whatever she wants.

Is it because she read too many novels, so she thinks too much?

Mrs. Meng Qiu continued: "Madam, this is my daughter, Meng Qiu, Qiu in autumn, eight years old this year. My daughter is also very capable, cutting grass for pigs, feeding chickens, cooking, and can do everything. This is my aunt Meng An, Meng An is a poor person. She originally had a fiancé. In January of the year, the beast was favored by a girl from a wealthy family, and then became a son-in-law and broke off the engagement with Meng An.

It would be fine if the engagement was broken off, but the beast wanted to spread gossip about Meng An, making everyone think that the breakup was Meng An's fault. So the family sent a message to Meng Ping, asking Meng Ping what to do. After Meng Ping returned home, he brought Meng An with him. "

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she thought that in January, Meng Ping came to her for a holiday and said she wanted to go home. She didn't think about it at the time, so she agreed. Now that she thought about it, it turned out that it was her sister who was in trouble, and it was hard for a brother to talk about this matter. Now that I have brought my sister here, I naturally have to explain all the details to her clearly.

Yang Haiyan nodded and looked at Meng An. A somewhat reserved little girl with her head lowered. Seeing himself looking at her, Meng An stood up and said with a bit of nervousness: "Meng An came with his brother this time to disturb my wife's house."

Yang Haiyan said: "It doesn't matter." Originally, she had thought about various trajectories. In novels, young girls often rush to be concubines for their masters. She wondered whether this girl would also have this intention, but now it seems that, Maybe not.

Then, she looked at the other one.

Huang Hu's daughter-in-law said: "Hello, madam, my wife is from Huang Hu's family. Her maiden name is Xu. She is February 4th this year. On the third day of her marriage to Huang Hu, Huang came to serve in the military. So these years I have been living with my parents-in-law in my hometown, and my parents-in-law are getting older, so I have to do everything in my hometown.”

‌‌ Grandma Lian’s impression of the Huang Xu family, speaking of it, the Huang Xu family does know more rules than the Meng Qiu family. However, this Huang Xu family is also smarter than Meng Qiu family.

Yang Haiyan continued to ask: "Your man is the personal guard of the big brother. He is provided with food, accommodation and monthly salary in the mansion. But when you come here, you are not a servant of my mansion, and you are not hired by me." You are here, so the government will not arrange your food, so I think you should understand it."

Kunzhang's family: "‌夫깊解."

Mr. Huang Xu said: "The wife knows it."

This is indeed understandable. No one hires a laborer and has to be responsible for the food of the family of the laborer.

Meng Qiu: "Madam, we understand, but our family of four does not have enough food to eat with Meng Ping. We have to use the money Meng Ping earns to buy food." In my hometown, that's okay. We have land and can grow food for ourselves. But here, what should we do if we don't have any land? "How can we save money here?"

Yang Haiyan has a further understanding of the Meng Qiu family. Maybe this is a machine gun that can't hide its words. But she didn't show it on her face: "Then haven't you ever thought about finding a job by yourself?"

Meng Qiu: "But...but I can't do any other work except farm work. I can wash clothes, sweep the floor, go to the fields, and other...other rich and noble jobs. I can't do it." Do it.”

Yang Haiyan looked at Kun Zhang and others again: "What about you? Have you never thought about finding a job by yourself?"

When Mrs. Kun and Zhang arrived, she said, "My wife plans to rest for two days and then go to the town to see what work is available."

Mrs. Huang Xu: "My wife had the same idea." In fact, her idea was to wait for my wife to come back and see if there were any arrangements for them. If not, she would think of a solution herself.

Meng An said: "I...I have thought about finding a job. I went to the town these days and found that there is a job in the town that specifically accepts laundry work, and the town also collects firewood. I will go I asked, and they paid nine cents for a bundle of firewood. I... I just thought that I could go wash clothes or collect firewood."

When Yang Haiyan heard this, she felt that Meng An's words made sense. She praised very much: "You are very motivated. This job is indeed good. The firewood has been sold well in the town because there are family houses here. , we need firewood. Moreover, there will be a disaster here for two months at the end of the year. During the disaster, there will be no firewood outside, so firewood must be prepared in advance.”

Meng An was also a little embarrassed to be praised by Yang Haiyan.

After getting acquainted with the family members for a while, Yang Haiyan said: "I'm a little tired too, so you can just step back."

"yes."

The family members all retreated.

After the family members retreated, Aunt Lian was curious: "Madam, don't you plan to settle them down?"

Yang Haiyan: "There's no rush. I want to hire everyone, so I can accommodate them, but there's no rush."

At the beginning of the Shen Dynasty, Qin Fang came back with five private guards. Three horses rode into the family room, which was quite powerful. Each horse also had game hanging on it.

Dong dong dong...

Someone is knocking on the door.

Because the private guard was not there, and Uncle Hong was not here either, Aunt Fan was looking at the door. When she heard the knock on the door, Aunt Fan went to open the door. As she opened the door, she asked, "Who is it?"

Qin Fang: "Me."
