Chapter 120: Building the House and Harvesting Corn
Chapter 120: Building the House and Harvesting Corn
"My name is Li Ming, I'm thirty this year, and I also worked as a guard in Mr. Yang's house. I offended the steward, so I was sold out along with the servants."
"How many years have you been a security guard?"
"Two years. Before that I was working as a doorman at the back door."
"My name is Yuan Qi, I'm seventeen this year, and I've always been a beggar. I sell myself to earn money for my brother and sister-in-law's medical treatment."
"see a doctor?"
"Well, my children caught a cold and had no money to buy medicine, so I was the only one who was valuable."
I said this very calmly and didn't think there was anything wrong with doing so.
The next few people also told their stories as requested.
Finally, Lin Jingsheng chose Zhang Wenyong, Ji Zhongtang, Yuan Qi, Liu Jin, and Wang Zhong.
Then ask them to move their arms and legs forward to see if they are intact and flexible.
Liu Jin and Wang Zhong were both servants bought from a restaurant. When the restaurant closed down, all the servants were sold.
One of them is twenty-seven and the other is twenty-eight, which is a good age.
The price of these capable laborers is not cheap, eight taels of silver per person.
After paying the silver, Jiang Ci carefully took the indentures of several people.
"Our family lives in Yong'an Town. We have hired so many people, so we should at least find a car to take them there."
The Yellow Fang people also agreed in a friendly voice, "Okay, wait a moment."
Their donkey carts could accommodate that many people, but they couldn't go fast enough, and they would have to go home in the dark.
The Yellow Teeth man brought one over soon, "Old Liu, follow the two masters and send these people to Yong'an Town."
"Okay, the bullock cart is parked outside, let's go."
When we arrived at Yong'an Town, we asked Lao Liu, who had come to see us off, to go back.
"Ah Sheng, go buy them two sets of clothes each. I'm going to the front street to buy some things and will be back soon."
Lin Jingsheng looked at Jiang Ci who was walking a distance away and shook his head helplessly, then went to the clothing shop and bought two sets of linen clothes for each of them.
None of them thought that the clothes were bought for them. Holding the clothes in their hands, they burst into tears of gratitude and kept saying thank you.
Lin Jingsheng gave him a timely encouragement, "As long as you work hard in the future, you will get benefits. The factory where you work is building a house. It will be completed in two days and you can move in. They are all new houses."
……
Lin Jingsheng didn't break the corn off, but directly peeled off the husk and pinched it with his fingers.
Jiang Ci couldn't see the door either, "How is it, can I take it?"
"That's fine, you can take it."
Lin Jingsheng dug a few more open and looked at them. "We can harvest them in the next two days."
"Then let it grow for two more days. When the house over there is built, we will harvest it."
Lin Jingsheng came out from the field and patted the grass stuck on his body, "Let's go to the soap factory to see how the construction is going."
The construction is going on quite fast, after all, they have found a lot of people, and now the walls everywhere are almost built, and the beams are also ready, so it won't be long before construction is completed.
The servants who were hired two days ago are also part of the team building the house.
After watching here for a while, Ye Wan and Lin Shan came with two buckets of boiled sour plum soup for the workers to drink.
Everyone was extremely excited.
"Put down what you are doing, come over and have a drink of water and rest."
"it is good!"
This was not the first day like this. They were not polite and put down their work and lined up to get bowls of sour plum soup.
These are all chilled well water, and they feel extremely cool when you drink them, dispelling the heat from sweating while working.
"With so many of us here, it will be finished in two days. Jingsheng, you guys just wait to receive the house then."
Lin Quan put the bowl of sour plum juice back next to the bucket, then suddenly thought of something, reached out and patted Yuan Qi's shoulder, "Well, now that the house is built, you will have a place to live."
"That's right. This is my first time living in a new house."
The villagers got along well with these bought people. On the surface, they got along harmoniously and did not look down on them.
Not only have staff rooms and a cowshed been added to the back of the house, but a house has also been added to the front to store the soap that has been packed in bamboo baskets when it's time to dry. This way, when the soap arrives at the dock, it can be loaded directly onto trucks and shipped off.
Jiang Ci went to the place where soap was drying to take a look at the trays of soap that she had made a few days ago with mint juice and mugwort juice. Well, maybe it should be called soap.
This still uses the original template, but the color is different from the others. However, it is still very conspicuous among this milky white soap.
Jiang Ci looked at the surface of the soaps and found nothing unusual. He then touched and pinched them, and compared them with the soap next to them.
There is roughly no difference in the softness and hardness. It seems that the previous ratio was just right. I can make it according to that ratio in two days.
"So, what's wrong with this soap?"
"No problem, and the proportions are good. Let's change the name of this soap to perfumed soap."
"Soap, that's quite appropriate. The soap template has been made. To make the soap, we need to find someone to add the plant juice into it."
"Isn't there a large area in front of the staff room? I plan to build a row of large rooms there, hire people to make the juice of this plant, and also hire people to go to the mountain to pick leaves and flowers."
Jiang Ci had a lot of things waiting for him to do just by thinking about it.
Lin Jingsheng put his hands on Jiang Ci's shoulders, pulled Jiang Ci's head into his arms, and rubbed her soft hair.
"Don't rush it. There's no need to rush."
"Yeah, why should I push myself so hard? I have a lot of money coming into my account every day."
They didn't stay there long and went home.
"I want to find two more dogs, some smart ones that can guard the house. After nightfall, I'll tie one in front and one in the back to watch the soap factory. Even though we have people taking turns watching, they still get tired sometimes."
"That's a good idea. I'll go ask around and see which family's good guard dog has given birth. I'll bring two of them over."
"Hey, do you think our Fuzai will be able to guard the house when he grows up? He looked stupid this time and was beaten by the little fox until he cried loudly."
"It's fine when you grow up, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid when you were little."
Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.
Fuzai poked his head out from the door frame, looked to the left, saw no one, then looked to the right and saw the two owners of the house.
He ran over happily.
When it came to the two of them, it kept circling around their feet, making a humming sound with its tail almost turning into a propeller.
Jiang Ci touched its head, and his excitement subsided a little.
This happy look is quite endearing.
He even kept an eye on the little fox at home, so naturally he got beaten a lot, and then he stopped bothering people.
