Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

"Don't worry about this for now. We still have five-spice powder in stock. We will make plans after discussing it with the village chief."

Li Qiaoer's worried look became less worried, and she couldn't help but show a bit of joy.

After a small meeting, everyone dispersed, and Jiang Huaixu found Jiang Zhengmao to discuss the next matter.

"Uncle, although our current manpower is sufficient, it is good to prepare early so that we won't be in a hurry in the future." Jiang Huaixu said.

Jiang Zhengmao thought for a long time and then said: "This matter is not difficult. There is definitely no shortage of people at the moment. It just depends on what kind of person you are looking for."

"Just like the people with the surname Fan. They need money and are willing to work hard. The most important thing is that they have good character."

Jiang Zhengmao smiled, "You girl, you still don't know how to survive in a famine. There are still a few people like us, and there are many vicious and vicious people, and some have even eaten human flesh. When I was a child, I heard from the old people in the village that natural and man-made disasters can peel off the outer layer of human skin, allowing people to see whether they are humans or animals inside."

He sighed, "Now that I think about this journey we took, it still feels like a dream."

"Uncle, you can't trust my eyesight and you can't trust your own?" Jiang Huaixu interrupted, "You have to be certified by the Second Grandpa himself as an accurate judge of people. I believe in you! So many of our villagers believe in you!"

After encouraging herself, she added: "I think the main reason for hiring these people is to save costs. They need money to survive. If we give a little more money, many people will flock to it. But there must be more rules for hiring these people. , we also need to find someone to supervise, and those who are found to be stealing, making trouble, etc. will not be hired; on the other hand, we can pay according to the weight of the five-spice powder we grind, and the rest must be worn like the rest of us. I don’t need to tell you about masks, washing hands before and after wearing them, etc.”

"Paying wages according to weight... This is not bad. It saves some people from being lazy, and our people can do it this way." Jiang Zhengmao said, "This way, even if you want to cheat, you can't do it."

After discussing this, the two slowly walked to the door of Jiang Huaixu's house.

"Let's just discuss it for the time being. We'll make preparations when we really don't have enough people." Jiang Huaixu waved his hand, "Uncle, I'm going home."

"Hey - wait a minute." Jiang Zhengmao suddenly remembered something, "That group of people named Lin - Lin Jiuyi, said they wanted to work in our tofu shop, but I refused."

"Well said no!" Jiang Huaixu gave a thumbs up, "Uncle, I am stingy. Lin Jiuyi and his brother have so many tricks up their sleeves. I don't know what kind of person Lin Jiuyi is. What if he hides it deeply? The wolf was lured into the house, and everyone named Lin was refused."

After saying this, the person disappeared.

Jiang Zhengmao shook his head helplessly and went home.

After eating Liu Yeer's fried fish with Futuan, who had arrived home early, Jiang Huaixu sank into space.

The soybeans that had been planted earlier had been harvested and piled together. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to take them out, but it turned out that there were a lot of soybeans in the relief grain, so she put them aside temporarily.

She kept more and saved it to avoid any accidents, resulting in insufficient supply of raw materials.

This time, Jiang Huaixu planted all the raw materials for five-spice powder in the place where soybeans were originally grown. There are four types of plants except cinnamon, all of which are herbs or shrubs, and it does not take long.

[Fu Tuan, Fu Bao, do you know how to deal with these herbs? 】

Futuan had just eaten and was combing his fur. He said absently: "As long as it has it stored in its system, it can handle it." 】

Jiang Huaixu felt relieved. She looked at the fruit area she had separated again, and she wanted to drool when she looked at it. Even vegetables were scarce in this season, let alone fruits. Although they grew faster in the planting space, fruits took longer to grow than crops. So there are no results yet.

If they all bear fruit, the blessing group will probably be able to live in the space.

After seeing the planting space, Jiang Huaixu imported Master Fang's human body data into the tool man and began to immerse himself in experiments.

Since starting to sit in the classroom, Hui Hui will take time to try many times before going to bed when encountering difficult diseases until she finds the most suitable method. Sometimes I don’t even know when I fell asleep.

A family in Dafeng Village next door was talking at night.

"Old man, I want to find a matchmaker tomorrow to arrange a marriage for our second son."

"Which company are you talking about?" Old Man Zhou's voice was sleepy.

Mrs. Chai said: "I saw a girl from the next village who is pretty, with a round face and a big butt. She seems to be fertile, but she is a bit younger."

Old man Zhou opened his eyes and looked at the dark roof, and asked: "Which village next door?"

"You look stupid, don't you? They are the new people from Jiuxi Village! That girl is only sixteen or seventeen? She should be."

Old man Zhou turned over and said, "You have escaped all the way without being engaged at the age of 16 or 7, and I don't know if you have been exposed. How can you still treat me like a treasure? Although our second son is marrying a step-in-law, he can't smell anything." Take everything home, right? Go to bed early!"

"Look at you, you know how to pick this and that!" Mrs. Chai said angrily, "Don't even think about their tofu and five-spice powder business. I've asked about it, and they can make a lot of money every day! That girl has no family. , I only recognized an adoptive father and adoptive mother. When the time comes to marry into our family, we might also be able to benefit from it and make money..."

Listening to the old woman's muttering, Old Man Zhou also began to think carefully about whether this matter was feasible.

After a while he asked: "Have you told the second child?"

As soon as Mrs. Chai heard this, she knew there was something going on, "Not yet, my second brother is more anxious than a father like you, tell him, he will definitely be happy."

"Don't tell Xiao Ni'er yet. That girl is disobedient. She will make trouble if she hears about it."

"Hey, I got it."

Silence gradually returned to the room.

The next day, after Jiang Huaixu and others drove away from Jiuxi Village, Jiuxi Village and Dafeng Village quickly became lively.

"What's going on?" Zhou Lizheng heard the noise and walked out to check the situation.

Zhou Mancang's daughter-in-law came out to watch the fun. When she saw her father-in-law coming out, she hurriedly said respectfully: "Dad, Qiangzi's mother has found a matchmaker to marry Qiangzi. She is a girl named Xia from Jiuxi Village."

When the people of Jiuxi Village first arrived, the villagers of Dafeng Village didn't even bother to associate with this group of poor refugees. Unexpectedly, the more they learned about them, they found that their family background seemed to be inferior to that of these refugees, so they had no shame to laugh at them anymore. People are poor.

Up to now, their tofu and five-spice powder business is booming, and many people are interested in getting a piece of the pie.

How can I get a share of this pie? The simplest way is to get married. Many people are waiting to see if there is a suitable boy or girl in their family, but before they take action, Wang Dacai happens.

Knowing that the group named Jiang showed no mercy to the people who were fleeing with them, many people stopped thinking, and some wanted to wait. Mrs. Chai was the first one to ask the matchmaker for marriage.

Zhou Lizheng frowned and looked into the distance.

There is not much work in the cold world. Most of the villagers are staying at home. This bustling has attracted many people to Jiuxi Village.

"Where's your man?"

Zhou Mancang's daughter-in-law, Zhao, said: "Mancang..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Lizheng hurriedly walked towards Jiuxi Village.

"I'll go to Jiuxi Village to have a look. Mancang will come back and tell him."

"Eh-" Mrs. Zhao watched Zhou Lizheng go away.
