Leisurely Daily [System]

When Jiang Fan and the others returned to Lishan Village, it was late May, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Jiang Fan and the others had already taken off another layer of thin shirts.

Jiang Fan, Guan Xiujin, and the others turned into the village road together, and temporarily separated at the fork of the river between the bamboo forest and the mountain village.

At this time, the harvest in May has just ended, and summer planting is still in progress. There are busy figures everywhere in the village fields, but most of them are strangers from other villages.This year, almost all the villagers in Lishan Village found work with Jiang Fan, and all the work in the field was contracted out, which benefited the people in other villages a lot.

The day Jiang Fan came back coincided with the harvest time of the first batch of Xueyang flowers in the village this year.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Jiang Fan was tired of riding the carriage for almost 20 days. He got out of the carriage as soon as he entered the village. Therefore, he was recognized by a group of little carrot heads playing in the village after walking a few steps. come out.

"Master Jiang! You are back!"

"Master Jiang!"

"Master Jiang is back!"

Although these children are small, the adults in the family often say that if it weren't for this young master Jiang, the family would not be able to earn money, and these children would not be able to eat candies often and have good clothes to wear, so they like it very much. Good-looking Young Master Jiang.

Jiang Fan touched these lively children one by one, smiled and gave them some candies bought from Shangjing.

"Is Jiaohua still in Mianzhifang?" Jiang Fan asked one of the children.

"Yes, it is."

Jiang Fan asked Zhang Shumo to take the brought back to Dongshan to settle down. There is also a staff dormitory there, which is a men's dormitory.He himself went to the noodle workshop.

The road leading to Mianzhifang is now wide and flat. People keep coming out of the flower fields on both sides, unload the baskets full of flowers on their backs, and pour them into the baskets on the cart. After that, he pushed the cart over the road and walked slowly towards Mianzhifang.

Most of the people picking flowers are from other villages. In the flower field, there are children playing on the edge of the field. From time to time, they go to see the people who help picking flowers to prevent them from stealing the flower stalks.

"Dog." Jiang Fan waved to a child who was also picking flowers, and when the child arrived, Jiang Fan handed him the candy, "Are you the only one picking flowers in your family this time?"

Gouzi put the candies carefully, and replied with a smile: "Grandma has gone to pick fire honey, leave me here to watch the laborers."

"How much is the day laborer's wages?"

"Father said, four catties cost one penny."

Picking flowers by hand can pick up to eighty or ninety catties a day in a hurry. After this calculation, these flower pickers can earn twenty yuan a day, which is not bad.

Jiang Fan patted Gouzi's head, "Go ahead and be careful with the scissors."

"I'm very careful." Gouzi said with a smile.

When Jiang Fan turned around and left, Gouzi hurriedly put down the scissors, took out a candy from his pocket and fed it into his mouth. The child squinted his eyes in enjoyment, feeling happier, humming while licking the sweetness of the candy with his tongue. Playing an incoherent tune.

The day laborer working in Gouzi's flower field raised his voice: "Little boss, who is that?"

Gouzi said, "That's Young Master Jiang."

"Is it Young Master Jiang who planted flowers with you?"

"nature."

The day laborers all said enviously: "I wonder when Master Jiang will expand the planting of these flowers again, our Fushui Village is also rich in water and soil."

During this year, Daolishan Village, the village near them, had great luck. There was such a God of Wealth in the village, and the income from planting these flowers for half a year was tens of taels of silver. If it were them, the land would not need to be planted , just guarding the flower field.

Gouzi listened and snorted inwardly.He had heard from his father and mother that Young Master Jiang said that what he would plant in the future would start in the village. Every household in his village had at least five or six acres of land. It would be too early for the other villages to turn.

Gouzi said: "How do I know, why don't you ask Master Jiang later when you hand over the flowers."

The part-time worker also knew that Lishan Village still had a lot of fields, even if they wanted to plant them, then Young Master Jiang would not look far away, so he had to keep his mouth shut.

When Jiang Fan arrived at Mianzhifang, there were several tables at one end of the flat ground, and Gu Fangqiu and Gu Yuantao were counting accounts at each table.

Gu Yuantao's field leave in May is still a few days away, and he is helping to collect flower petals at the Mianzhifang for the past few days. Because Gu Changqing and Jiang Fan are not in the village, and Gu Li's family is in charge of the Mianzhifang, Gu Fangqiu will come back Stay for a few days and help out.A few months have passed, and the three little girls in the shop have learned a lot, even if Gu Fangqiu is not around, it doesn't matter.

Gu Yuantao had just memorized the weight of a basket of flowers, when he raised his eyes casually, he saw a tall, long-legged man in Tsing Yi walking slowly in front of him, he took a closer look, and immediately smiled.

"cousin!"

As soon as the young man put down the pen, he got up and opened his clothes and rushed over.

Before Jiang Fan stayed in Wangzhou City for more than a month, Gu Yuantao didn't have a vacation when he came back, and then he went to Beijing in a hurry. Gu Yuantao hadn't seen Jiang Fan for almost two months.

Jiang Fan hugged the young lady who was rushing over, and squeezed her shoulder, "I have gained a lot of flesh, and I have also grown taller."

Gu Fangqiu stood up and said with a smile: "Finally I'm back, I was still thinking about you two days ago."

Jiang Fan said: "Cousin has been working hard recently."

Gu Fangqiu said: "I'm not tired." But because her father and Jiang Fan were not there at the same time, she felt that she lacked a backbone. As long as any one of them was there, she always felt at ease.

Villagers brought in flower baskets one after another. Jiang Fan simply said a few words to the two siblings, and then asked them to go to the noodle shop to have a look.

First go to the cafeteria.

Because of the cooperation with Jiang Hai's in-laws, the other party will deliver fresh dishes every day. This time is still a while before get off work, but the cafeteria is already busy.Several aunts in the cafeteria saw Jiang Fan and wanted to stop their work, but Jiang Fan hurriedly raised his hand to signal them to keep busy and leave him alone.

The cafeteria provides meals, but the dishes and chopsticks must be cleaned by the employees themselves.

Then the dormitory, the dormitory provides towels and brooms for dusting. Although it is not a college, the basic sanitation and cleaning still need to meet the standard. Other public areas do not need staff to do it, and someone else cleans it.

In the separate work room, Mrs. Gu Li was checking the accounts with the shopkeeper Huo Qingmei, and the rest of them were also busy with their own affairs.The four men and two women recruited at the beginning have all passed the three-month probationary period and have become regular workers under Jiang Fan.

Gu Lishi was also very happy to see Jiang Fan came back. Jiang Fan and Zhang Shumo were not there, so it was not so lively when she went back to dinner at night.

Gu Lishi took Jiang Fan to the production line to have a look. More than 100 workers formed different assembly lines. Supervise the workers under him very rigorously, not allowing them to be sloppy.

Because of what Jiang Fan had said before he left, the store in Shangjing will be opening with goods in June.The combined market in Licheng County and the town is no more than that in Shangjing, so although there are already a lot of stocks in the warehouse, the work in the noodle workshop has been a little rushed recently. The days are long, and the working hours are extended by half an hour.

Even so, there is "overtime pay", so the female workers are quite happy.

The Mianzhifang is just below the West Mountain, where fire honey fruit and red frost fruit are grown. Jiang Fan walked up the mountain road after coming out of the Mianzhifang.

Many honeydew fruits are ripe, leaving a section of fruit vine when picking, which can prolong the storage period of the fruit for at least half a month.Earlier, some of the honeydew fruit had been picked, and Gu Fangqiu was asked to take it to the town to sell according to what Jiang Fan said before.

The fire honey fruit produced in Dazhou every year is usually shipped to a developed and prosperous city like Shangjing.The consumption level in the small town here is limited. Even though there are some rich people, due to transportation reasons, the local fruit merchants do not want to buy fire honey fruit. Those rich people who want to eat can only find their own way through their own channels. .

As soon as Jiang Fan's family's fire honey fruit was transported to the town, it was put on sale directly in front of Jiaoyan Pavilion. Except for giving some to Boss Xiao and Boss Zhou who knew Jiang Fan well, the rest were quickly sold. Those rich people are rounded up.

A restaurant in the town approached Gu Fangqiu and said that they would cooperate with her so that she would only sell Huomiguo to his family.

Gu Fangqiu refused, Jiang Fan had already said that these honeydews would be transported to Beijing for sale besides eating them himself.In the town, the price of the honeydews is about the same as what people inquired about from outside, but when they arrive in Beijing, the value of these honeydews will increase a lot.

After all, it is grown from nutrients, and the quality is very high.

At this time, the honeydews in the field are almost ripe, and Jiang Fan is back, and they can quickly pick them from tomorrow and pack them up. After the thirty soldiers rest for two days, they will bring the honeydews with them, along with skin care products. There is also silk, which will be shipped to Shangjing together.

In the red frost fruit field separated from the honey fruit, there are knuckle-long flower vines hanging between the green leaves. Many of the flowers on the top are withered, because the surface layer needs to condense the icing sugar, and the ripening time of this fruit is longer than that of the honey fruit. If the sun is good, it will take at least mid-July to harvest.

When going down the mountain, Jiang Fan picked a fire honey fruit. The water-red skin was about the size of a watermelon, and it was very crisp. Jiang Fan clenched his fist and knocked in the middle, and there was a "click", the peel cracked, and it had a delicate fragrance. Juice comes out.

Jiang Fan broke the fruit in half along the crack with force, revealing the water-red flesh inside, with a few white seeds the size of peanuts embedded in the middle.

Jiang Fan took a bite of the flesh, it was sweet but not greasy, crisp and sandy, and it must taste even better when he goes back to soak it with well water or squeeze it into juice.

Just like that, Jiang Fan went down the mountain with two halves of the fruit, handed half to Gu Fangqiu and his siblings, and left with the other half.This thing is really brittle, as long as you have a little strength, you can break it open with your bare hands without using a knife.

Of course, it just tastes indecent.

When Jiang Fan arrived at the silkworm room, he had just finished eating the fruit, so he went to wash his hands before walking in.

It was still cold at first, in addition to placing constant-temperature trees in the silkworm-raising room, it was necessary to raise the temperature artificially. Now that it is hot, there is no need to place the constant-temperature trees for the time being. There are usually a batch of cocoons matured in 20 days. It has something to do with the picked mulberry leaves.

Immediately after Jiang Fan came back from Wangzhou City, he fed the thousands of mulberry trees on the mountain. Now these silkworms eat the highest quality mulberry leaves, and the silk they produce can be said to be the "Fiber Queen". Queen.

The quality of the silk woven by the women workers was already good, but now the quality of the finished products is even higher.

Silk is naturally the "soft gold" in fabrics. It is not sold by the piece, but by the pound. The heavier the density, the more expensive it is.A single piece of plain weave can be sold at a low price for a thousand taels.
