Building workshops, collecting raw materials, and spring plowing are all going on at the same time. The entire Zhuangzi is as prosperous as all things resurrected in spring. The bankers were living a life of hope, and they all showed long-lost smiles.

When the women heard that the vermicelli workshop was specifically looking for female workers, they couldn't sit still and approached Old Liu Maosui to recommend themselves. Some of the brave ones even wandered outside the temporary house where Xia Chuntao lived, hoping that the owner of the village would see them.

Xia Chuntao thought they were all very cute people, so she looked at them timidly when she saw that they were silent. Wherever Xia Chuntao wants to go, they will immediately show her the way.

Others took eggs that they had saved for a long time and stuffed them into Xia Chuntao's hands without introducing themselves. After stuffing them, they ran away, making Xia Chuntao dumbfounded.

Xia Chuntao can actually understand everyone's psychology.

If a woman can work, even for three or four cents a day, then the children in the family can have enough to eat. With such an opportunity, who wouldn’t want to give it a try?

Even if they don't know how to express themselves in front of Xia Chuntao, and even use some awkward methods, what's wrong with fighting for the opportunity?

On the contrary, Xia Chuntao thinks that they are a simple and honest group of people who are more likely to form cohesion. It depends on how you manage them.

Xia Chuntao notified all farmers through Lao Liu of the recruitment conditions, benefits, and workshop regulations. The farmers were really surprised to learn that the workers were paid fifteen cents a day. Even if you go to Rongcheng to work as a coolie, you will only earn seven or eight cents a day at most. No matter how tiring the work in the workshop is, how can it be as tiring as working as a coolie? Not to mention a meal is provided at noon.

Look at the food that the helpers in the workshop eat now, it’s so real!

There are enough steamed buns, and there are three or four dishes for each meal. Not only is there oil and water, but you can also eat meat. There is no better food than this. If the helpers can eat so well, how can the food in the workshop be any worse?

What kind of magic job is this?

But seeing the requirements the workshop placed on workers, everyone's fiery hearts instantly regained a little sanity.

It goes without saying that he can endure hardship. Who in this Zhuangzi cannot endure hardship? Everyone works hard.

But this...you must take a shower and wash your work clothes every six days, your hair must be clean, and no nails are allowed. To be honest, how many people in Zhuangzi bathe and wash their hair so diligently? I worry about whether I have enough to eat every day, so how can I have time to care about this?

Regarding the "hygiene" issue, Xia Chuntao hit the point directly.

"We are a workshop that makes ingredients. If the food is not clean and people eat it, the entire workshop may be closed down by the government. I lose my workshop and I have other businesses. If you lose your workshop, what will you do?"

These few words can be said to have touched the hearts of farmers. Everyone has a new understanding of "hygiene". This thing is very important, so important that it affects their jobs.

On this day, Xia Chuntao took advantage of her free time and found a few farming veterans to go up the mountain to have a look.

In fact, this mountain is not particularly high, and the slope is relatively gentle, but the soil has a lot of gravel and is not suitable for growing food. Because this mountain accounts for almost half of Zhuangzi, it has resulted in the current situation of less cultivated land.

Although the soil quality is not good, the hillside is overgrown with weeds and there is plenty of sunshine.

“Would it be possible if we planted fruit trees here?”

An old farmer nodded, "It should be possible to plant peach trees, apple trees, jujube trees, and pear trees. It just takes a long time to set fruit."

"How long does it take to get results?"

"Apple trees and peach trees take about three years, jujube trees take three or four years at the fastest, and pear trees take about five years."

Another man with a black face was a little worried, "I heard that fruit trees are difficult to grow and are prone to insects. No one in our village has ever planted fruit trees. What can we do if the trees are damaged?"

Xuan Er silently rolled his eyes from behind: With this little potential, he doesn’t dare to do anything, no wonder he is poor!

Xia Chuntao looked at the black-faced man and said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but no matter how difficult it is, you have to start. Now that this mountain is in my hands, even if it is barren of grass, I will turn waste into treasure."

"Don't worry, if you really want to plant fruit trees, I will ask experienced experts to help."

Old Liu scolded the black-faced man: "What do you know? Whatever the village owner says, we will do it. There is so much nonsense!"

The black-faced man Nono should be.

No one dared to say anything, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

At this time, Zhuangtou Lao Liu was already a staunch supporter of Xia Chuntao.

The owner of the village will never say the wrong thing, and the owner of the village will not do the wrong thing. If there is a mistake, it is because the people below do not understand it properly.

It seems that Lao Liu still has quite a reputation in Zhuangzi. It is a good thing to have prestige, but it may not be a good thing after that level.

Xia Chuntao half-joked, "It's okay. If you have any problems, just ask them and we'll solve them together. If there's no problem, what am I doing here?"

Everyone was stunned by Xia Chuntao's words, and then they all laughed.

Although there are ups and downs on the top of the mountain, it is generally relatively flat and the area is not small. It is easy to build a few lofts and create some artificial landscaping along the way.

Xia Chuntao had an idea.

"I plan to build a landscape on the top of the mountain and build my restaurant here."

"Old Liu, make an appointment with those craftsmen. We will have to build roads, build bridges, and build buildings later. See if they can take over. I will find someone to do the landscaping."

"Hey! I'll make an appointment with them when I get down from the mountain."

Xia Chuntao pointed to a large piece of farmland behind the mountain, "Where is it?"

"Oh, that's Gejiazhuang, our neighboring village. It used to be the land owned by the villagers. Last year, it seemed that it became a village owned by a high official. There are so many fields there, at least three of them are as much as those of our village!"

The old farmer added, "Although the harvest is better than ours, the people in Gejiazhuang are not much better than us. They still don't have enough to eat."

The black-faced man said with indignation, "My wife's natal family is in Gejiazhuang. It used to be fine. After paying the grain tax to the government, the leftovers were enough for a year. But then a big man in Rongcheng The officials took a fancy to Gejiazhuang and forced them to sell the land at a very low price, and then forced them to sign a deed, agreeing on 28 cents."

Xuan Er couldn't help hearing it, "This is too much. Aren't the people of Gejiazhuang making trouble?"

The black-faced man shook his head, "There were several people who made trouble at first, but the official sent people to arrest them. I don't know where they were taken. Anyway, they never came back. I don't know whether they are dead or alive."

"There is no way. My daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law's family work hard every day, and in the end they all end up with other people. In the end, they don't even have enough to eat."

There is no shortage of bullying in any era. It's just that it's more hidden in modern times, but more rampant in ancient times.

Xia Chuntao was very curious about that land. If we could also buy Gejiazhuang, it would be a real villa.

But now it seems that it is not possible. With the money, it should be about the same. The key is that this land has an owner, and it seems that the owner is not a good bird.

Xia Chuntao really wanted to make everyone around her live a good life, but for Gejiazhuang, Xia Chuntao probably couldn't do anything.
