Chapter 318 Human Cub
Including those sold in the afternoon.
He earned ten taels of silver that day and would soon be able to make back his investment. Xu Wenyan renovated the five rooms upstairs.
And then add a quilt or something.
So far, Guan's performance has been pretty good. She is not lazy and her cooking skills are also pretty good. She can learn something after watching it twice.
The store needs to hire some more people. Zheng Liwei can help run the store in the future, and Guan will follow him. As for the family’s land, we can ask other people in the village to take care of it.
Just give me some money every month. To take care of those dozen acres of land, one or two hundred coins a month is enough.
As for the waiter, Xu Wenyan also has a candidate in mind.
Since Xiaohu doesn't want to come, the two boys from the Yang family and Rong Xiaoliu can be called over. The three kids are about the same age and can play together.
This way, three rooms will be occupied. Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin will occasionally stay in the store, and the other room can be given to Wang Cuijuan and Zhong.
It is not easy to go home every day when working outside.
"Aunt, two aunts, you can go back today and pack your daily necessities. You can live in the shop from now on."
Xu Wenyan paid different wages to different people. Wang Cuijuan, as the future head chef, received two taels of silver a month, while Guan and Zhong received one tael.
The Yang brothers and Rong Xiaoliu are odd jobs, earning 800 coins a month, and their wages will increase in the future.
Even though I wasn't well prepared today, I still earned ten taels of silver. I should be able to get stronger and stronger in the future.
After returning home, Xu Wenyan thought about finding the two boys from the Yang family.
After entering the door, the two were also eating: "Uncle Xu, why are you here, come and eat."
Yang Yan warmly welcomed Xu Wenyan in. Xu Wenyan looked at the two children and finally felt a little relieved.
There was half a pot of vegetable porridge in the pot, which was made from various vegetable leaves mixed with some old rice. It was the best thing they could eat.
"Uncle has eaten." Xu Wenyan sat between the two brothers and said, "Uncle will introduce a job to you two boys. Do you want to go?"
"Is it in the county?" Yang Mu brought a cup of hot water to Xu Wenyan.
"Well, your uncle Xu has opened a shop in the county and is in need of a few helpers. I'll pay you 800 coins a month, how about that?"
"Eight, eight hundred Wen?" The two brothers were shocked. The most they had ever earned since they were little was the salary Xu Wenyan paid them last time.
How many good things can I buy with 800 Wen this month?
Yang Yan said hurriedly: "Uncle Xu, we are just helping you, just give us 100 Wen a month."
"Yes, yes, one hundred Wen is already a lot." Yang Mu also said repeatedly.
"After you get there, you will stay in the shop and work every day. I will also have to talk to your village chief to find a few people to help you look after the fields." Xu Wenyan took a sip of the hot water in his hand and continued.
"You have to pay the landlord a hundred coins a month, right? If I pay you another hundred coins, wouldn't it be a waste of work?
Keep this money well. Your house is too small. When you get married, where will you two live with your wives? "
When the two young men mentioned this, their faces turned red.
Judging from their age in ancient times, they were not young anymore and would be able to hold their coming-of-age ceremony in two years. However, they had no money at this moment and would have no money to worry about in the future.
"That's too much. Uncle Xu, please give us 600 coins first." Yang Yan insisted.
They just went there to help, and getting 600 Wen a month was really a bit too much.
"Okay." Xu Wenyan stood up and said, "Work hard when you get there. If you slack off, I'll kick you two back."
"Don't worry, Uncle Xu! We will definitely do a good job."
"Well, pack up and go tomorrow."
Xu Wenyan left Yang's house and went directly to Chen Xingjie's house.
It was getting late now, but the lights in Chen Xingjie's house were still bright.
"Brother Wen Yan, please sit down." Wang Dongmei was sitting by the fire, holding little Chen Zhao in her arms.
Xu Wenyan sat down next to the mother and son.
"Do you want to hug him?"
"Okay." Xu Wenyan took Chen Zhao from Wang Dongmei's arms.
Xu Wenyan poked his face, and little Chen Zhao's little hand grasped Xu Wenyan's fingers.
"Hahaha, Sister Dongmei, this person with a small nose is quite strong." The strength of those little fingers was enough to break Xu Wenyan's fingers.
No wonder some mothers have scars on their faces and bodies, it turns out they were really beaten by their babies.
Wang Dongmei was also amused by Xu Wenyan's analogy: "That's right, it will be very powerful when you grow teeth in the future. Don't we all start from this age?"
As he got closer to the little baby, Xu Wenyan could smell the milky scent on Chen Zhao's body. It seemed that the babies of all animals were cute, but they were ruined once they grew up.
For example, the dead child in my uncle's family was fat and cute when he was a child.
When he grew up, he was a fat pig with dyed yellow hair, but his uncle's family still treated him as a treasure.
"You're here to look for Lao Chen, right? He'll be back soon."
"Well, Sister Dongmei, actually I want to ask you a favor." Xu Wenyan said, patting Chen Zhao gently.
"Just tell me what you need me to do for you."
Xu Wenyan nodded: "My aunt went to the county to help me work, and I want her to help take care of things in the factory in the future.
Xiaoman has a lot to do and is too tired. I thought you could help me look after the factory after you have rested well."
"Okay, it's not a big deal, just leave it to me. I'm bored to death sitting at home all day."
The two were chatting excitedly when Chen Xingjie came in from outside.
"Wen Yan."
"Brother Xingjie, I would like to ask you for help. I would like to find a man in the village to help take care of the land of the Zheng family and the two brothers of the Yang family for a few months.
The Zheng family pays 200 coins a month, and the Yang family pays 100 coins. See who is willing to do it."
Chen Xingjie took a sip of hot water: "Okay."
"Oh, and there's also the matter of collecting fodder. I have a lot of animals at home, and now I collect 40 kilograms of pig fodder every day, and I pay 20 cents."
"This pig grass is all over the mountain. Twenty cents is a bit much."
Pulling pig grass is not a difficult job. It grows all around the village and you can get a lot of it just by picking it.
"Not much, just this price."
Chen Xingjie nodded silently: "Yes, by the way, I also have something to tell you."
Xu Wenyan handed Chen Zhao in his arms to Wang Dongmei: "Brother Xingjie, you tell me."
"The village chief of Xujia Village came to me these two days and said they wanted to build a road from Xujia Village to the county, and asked if our village wanted to join in the construction."
It takes nearly two hours to take a horse carriage from Jixiang Village to the county. There is a small road near Xujia Village because the surrounding terrain is relatively dangerous and there are wolves.
No one has walked this road for a long time. If the road is repaired, the distance to the county can be shortened by at least half.
Now there are only two villages here, Xujia Village and Jixiang Village.
In the past it could still be called Osmanthus Village, but now it has been burned down.
If this road is open, it will be of great help to Xu Wenyan and can greatly reduce the distance traveled.
The repaired road is different from the dirt road and is relatively flatter. If Xiaohong didn't pull the cart, she could probably take Xu Wenyan to the county in half an hour.
Xu Wenyan nodded seriously: "I think this plan is feasible. Brother Xingjie, please first set a time with the village chief of Xujia Village for the day after tomorrow, and we will discuss it together."
"it is good."
