The Ancient Life of the Doomsday

Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao stayed at home all day and didn't go out to make a fortune silently. The village didn't know it. Many old people shook their heads, saying that they couldn't live without elders watching the young people.

Before Lin Geer said that he let Pei Shaorong follow his man to work in the town, he also took it to heart. His man worked as a coolie on the pier. good.

The powerful men in the village would go to the wharf to do coolies to earn money to supplement their families when they were not busy in the fields. However, there were so many people at the wharf that if you didn’t have a familiar coolie to take you, it would be easy to be rejected by everyone.

Lin Ge'er has a good relationship with Mo Xiaobao, and the head of the family treats him well, and he is willing to take Pei Shaorong to work together. Lin Ge'er specially came to Pei's house to tell them.

If Pei Shaorong is really as poor as the villagers think, he will definitely go back to work, but now that he has other ways to make more money, he will definitely not work as a coolie.

He politely rejected Lin Ge'er, but Pei Shaorong still took his kindness very seriously. After thinking about it, Pei Shaorong decided to give Lin Geer a hand.

This is how he is. He will remember whoever treats him well. He heard from Mo Xiaobao that although Brother Lin's family is not very poor, it is not rich either.

After all, people who marry younger brothers as wives here are generally not rich, and people who are a little bit richer will not let a girl who has a good birth to marry a younger brother.

And Brother Lin and Mo Xiaobao have been friends for so many years. When he was in the mountains, he also saw that Geer Lin was really helping Ah Bao.

It is not difficult for him to extend his hand a little, and Aunt Qin and Pei Shaorong also want to call, and Aunt Qin has helped him a lot when he came here, although it is only a few words of advice , but it was very helpful.

During this period of time, there was little work in the field and no one was busy. Pei Shaorong was going to call Aunt Qin and Brother Lin over to help him burn the charcoal for candied fruit.

He and Mo Xiaobao are too busy with the mountain goods I collected before, and they both need help.

There is also the sale of grilled skewers, which is not profitable for ordinary people, but it is definitely a big income for Pei Shaorong. Don't underestimate the two or so words a day, which is already very high for ordinary people.

At that time, let Aunt Qin and Brother Lin's family come to help and pay the wages themselves. Now that there is no work in the field, they must be willing.

The wharf has income, but it is so tiring. It is very hard to travel to the town every day. Now every household is not busy. The coolies at the wharf are overcrowded, and the income is greatly reduced.

Asking Aunt Qin, Uncle Qin, Brother Lin and his man to come to the house for dinner, Pei Shaorong expressed his thoughts.

"Aunt Qin, Uncle Qin, Brother Lin and Brother Xue, I won't say too many polite words. I called you here today mainly to tell you something..."

Brother Lin's father-in-law, Pei Shaorong, met him at the wedding and also met him in the village on weekdays. He was two years older than him. His name was Xue Tieshi. He was as strong as a cow and looked very stable.

"I'm going to make dried hawthorn fruit for sale. Xiaobao and I are too busy. I want to ask you for help. How about thirty Wen a day for each person?"

This is the salary that Pei Shaorong decided to give after consideration. Thirty Wen is about the same as a day's income as a coolie at the wharf, and it will not make the two families suffer.

This amount can be afforded with the money he has now. If everyone does well and earns more, he doesn't mind giving out some red envelopes.

Moreover, Aunt Qin and Geer Lin, two relatively weak labor forces, he also gave [-] Wen, which is definitely not low for the two of them. I believe that Aunt Qin and Geer Lin are absolutely willing.

If the payment is too little, Pei Shaorong will feel uncomfortable if he asks others to give up their high wages to help him, not to mention whether they are willing or not.

Aunt Qin and Brother Lin were a little surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect Pei Shaorong to make preserved fruit and sell it for money.

This candied fruit is indeed a precious snack, and most of the village can make it, but because of the need for sugar, everyone can't bear the cost.

"Big brother, the cost of making preserved fruit is too high. How can you make money? If you need help, just call us. What kind of money will you give back? One person is thirty yuan a day. Big brother, you don't take silver as money." flower!"

Aunt Qin is a straight-talking person, who doesn't like making money, but Pei Shaorong's salary is too high, it's okay to give it to a man, she and Lin Ge'er help and give thirty cents to her. She thinks it's too much.

This candied fruit, not to mention her, Uncle Qin and Lin Geer and his wife also think it's not very good. The cost is so high that they can't make any money at all, otherwise everyone in the village will make candied fruit and sell it for money!

"Aunt Qin, I've thought about this in detail. The cost is a little higher, but it's still profitable. You all know that my family has no land now, and life will be difficult if I don't find a way..."

Pei Shaorong showed embarrassment, his actual situation was not as bad as he said, but the whole village knew that he was poor, so he couldn't act like I was actually rich.

"Hunting in the mountains is too dangerous, and it won't last long. In winter, I won't be able to enter the mountains. And if I have something to do, I will leave Abao alone. I don't have brothers and sisters to take care of him. I have enough money for this." This cost is a gamble, if it goes well, next year you can buy a field and farm with A Bao..."

Both Aunt Qin and Brother Lin understood what he was talking about, and Xue Tieshi, the husband of Brother Lin, was silent for a while and spoke.

"Brother Pei, since you have planned this way, you should have considered it in detail. My husband and I will help you with this job, but the wages are not that much. You can count twenty yuan for me, and ten yuan for my husband will do." ..."

Xue Tieshi agreed after thinking about it for a while. Since the Pei family said something like a fight, it proves that he must be sure of making money, otherwise he would not be able to spend such a large amount of money.

The salary he gave was indeed a bit high, and it didn't take that much. Thirty Wen for him and Geer Lin would be enough.

It might not be as good for Pei Shaorong to make more money at the pier, but it is easy and close to home in the village, which is also convenient for him to take care of the family.

Aunt Qin thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement. The meaning was the same as that of Xue Tieshi. She felt that the wages were not so much, and it was just a matter of effort. Thirty yuan per person is not low in the town.

"Aunt Qin and Brother Xue, you can take this wage at ease. My job is not easy. Thirty cents a person's wages are definitely worth it, but the wages can't be paid to you right away. You can only wait for the work to be done and exchange things for silver. You guys, I don’t know if you are willing to do this job?..."

Pei Shaorong smiled and said, it's not that the money cannot be given immediately, but as I said before, he is a poor boy now, he has no money in his hands, and he can't tell others that he has basically no capital to do these things.

The Qin family and Lin Ge'er's family are really good, but he doesn't need to show his old background to them. The reason why he can safely let them help with making preserved fruits and handling mountain goods is also because these two crafts are not too secret.

He doesn't intend to share the money-making crafts like persimmons with others. It's not that he is selfish. He himself is not very rich now, and his family also points to persimmons to make money in the future.

Selling barbecue skewers and making preserved fruits are all short-term deals. Persimmons, growing food in the future, and planting fruit trees that I thought about before are the long-term survival businesses of his family.

The cost of candied fruit is really high for ordinary people. Sugar is not cheap here. He is making candied fruit now because he relies on his own space to bring so much sugar from modern times that he will not be able to eat it all without spending money.

After listening to Pei Shaorong's words, Aunt Qin and Brother Lin looked at each other and nodded with a smile, "Why don't you do it? There isn't any woman in the village who earns [-] Wen a day. Auntie can pick it up this time." It’s cheap, big brother is capable!”

Since the Lord is not worried about the wages and is willing to give, there is no reason to refuse the money delivered to the door. One person is thirty yuan a day, and the two of them add up to sixty yuan a day, which is better than going to the town to do part-time jobs to make money.

These two days everyone is free, there is no shortage of short-term workers in the town, and the wages are getting lower and lower. No matter how you look at it, they have earned money for helping Pei Shaorong!

As soon as the matter was settled, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao secretly put the persimmons that had successfully dried in the sun into the vat and waited for it to produce hoarfrost on its own, then took everyone to work together.

Mo Xiaobao, Lin Geer and Aunt Qin continued to process the remaining mountain products such as hawthorn and wild walnuts at home. Uncle Qin and Xue Tieshi burned charcoal on the mountain to prepare for the next step of sugar cooking.

As for Pei Shaorong himself, he goes to the town to sell skewers every day. Although he invited Aunt Qin and Geer Lin's family to help out for wages, his family still makes a lot of money in actual calculation.

His daily income from selling skewers is more than enough to pay wages, and it can be a lot easier. Now there are many villagers doing part-time labor in the town. His skewers are not expensive, and his business is very hot.

With the help of four more people, the matter was much faster. Aunt Qin and Lin Geer's family had to pay Pei Shaorong [-] Wen each, so they had enough energy to work.

The winter in Linjiang Village is very cold, so the villagers here can burn charcoal themselves. Uncle Qin and Xue Tieshi do things well automatically without Pei Shaorong asking.

Pei Shaorong felt that these tasks were not easy, but it was simply too comfortable for the Qin family and Lin Ge'er's family. He felt a little sorry for taking thirty Wen's wages, so he worked even harder.

It took him half a month to burn charcoal, cook hawthorns in sugar, and make preserved fruits soaked and dried. Anyway, everyone knows this craft, and he doesn't need to guide him at all.

There are also mountain products such as wild walnuts, pine nuts and chestnuts, which have also been made into dry products according to his requirements.

Pei Shaorong can only say that he is very satisfied with the efficiency of this work. Hearing that Aunt Qin and Brother Lin said that they are sorry for doing such an "easy" job and taking such a "high" job, Pei Shaorong felt his face was a little hot .

He felt like capitalism that exploited labor force, and the wages he gave to others were not even a fraction of what he earned, so he blushed...
