Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

Today, just after planting all the beans, it rained. Everyone said it was a good thing, and I was very happy.

Two days ago, the oldest of the part-time workers, the old man Zhu, told me that there were not enough beans to plant, and it was a pity that the remaining land was idle, so it is better to get some potatoes and plant them.I think it works.

Observing these [-] part-time workers these days, the work is still good and relatively simple, but there are only three or two who can work and think about how to plant the land well. Among them, Lao Zhu is the oldest and has the most experience. Both Chen Xiang and I like him more.

After finishing the work today, I paid everyone's wages. The day laborers happily left with the money. I left Lao Zhu and asked him if he would like to be a Zhuangzi here. If he lives here for a long time, he will be given [-] Wen a month.

Lao Zhu was very pleasantly surprised. He agreed without saying a word. This is a rare and good job for him. It's worth money, and this one hundred wen is earned for nothing.

I asked him, "Is there anyone else at home?"

Old Zhu: "There is also an old woman, a son and daughter-in-law, and two grandchildren, one is a boy and the other is a younger brother."

I thought for a while and said, "That's right, you can take them over to live with them, otherwise it would be boring to be alone in the suburbs."

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile all over his face: "Hey, okay, I'll take my wife and two children over. My son and daughter-in-law still have to work at home, and the family also has land."

I said, "Okay, I'll find someone to repair this house tomorrow, so you can live in more space."

Lao Zhu waved his hand and said: "No, no, this house is very good. I'll go back and ask my family to come and clean it up. How can I find someone else to repair it? What are you going to spend the money on?"

People are quite simple, so I didn't say anything more. It's not a good thing to be too enthusiastic and too kind to people. It's better to clarify the boundaries between the boss and the guys. It's good to be kind once in a while. I don't want to raise arrogant servants.

I told Lao Zhu that there is a lot of land in Zhuangzi, and they can grow some vegetables to eat by themselves. I will ask Adong to send some grain tomorrow. After Zhuangzi produces grain by himself, they can keep it for themselves.Lao Zhu agreed and said that this is already very good.

I took Lao Zhu to the government to sign the contract. I have to say that this era is really good at managing people. It doesn’t mean that you can just buy someone and hire someone. All workers and servants are registered with the government. Those who make the book can find out if there is anything.

It is written in the contract that Lao Zhu will show me Zhuangzi, and he wants to live in Zhuangzi for a long time. It also states that only his wife, son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren can live there. The seven aunts and eight aunts all eat here, and his job is also written. He is responsible for crop management and harvesting in the village, and I have to give him one hundred coins every month. Well, if either of us wants to terminate the contract, we will have to come to the government to terminate the contract. This is a very reasonable employment relationship.

After the contract was signed, Lao Zhu said to us: "Master, Fulang, I'll go back and bring my family here to repair the house."

I froze for a moment, wow, I was actually called a master, and instantly felt that I had turned into a landlord Lao Cai, so I let him go.

I said to Chen Xiang: "Ah Xiang, I feel that we have finally taken root here."

Chen Xiang was also very touched and said, "Yes, where there is land, there are roots."

On the way back, he told me a lot. He said that he never thought that he could become the master of a Zhuangzi, nor that anyone would call him Fulang.

I laughed at him: "Where did you learn this word? Buy a piece of land and you will become a phoenix. You should study it early and open your clothing store. At that time, you will be more than just a phoenix. Transformation... um..."

Chen Xiang covered my mouth and hurriedly said, "Speak out of your mouth!"

I broke out in a cold sweat belatedly. This is ancient times. Dragon can only be used to address one person. If I say this sentence on this street, I am afraid that my house will be ransacked in the afternoon.

Fortunately, Chen Xiang stopped me in time, it was too dangerous.

Chen Xiang gave me a fierce look, and said in a low voice, "We have cut a lot of materials, the difficulty lies in the embroidery and sewing, and I have to go to various shops to see if there are any good decorative materials for bags. "

I smiled: "Okay, it looks like a little shopkeeper."

Chen Xiang snorted and said, "Tomorrow Xiangzhi and Sister-in-law Fen will go to our house to do work, just like before, you leave early in the morning and don't come back at noon."

yo!This started to despise me, and let me go early, it's okay, it's about to turn the world upside down, it seems that I have to shake up my family law and strengthen my husband's principles!

I went to scratch Chen Xiang, Chen Xiang was already prepared, giggling and ran away, it seems that he has already understood my tricks haha.

We were chasing each other on the street, laughing and making noises, and attracted a lot of people's eyes. I don't care about it. Chen Xiang has been with me for so long, and he has thick skin, so he doesn't care much about other people's eyes.

Until we saw someone selling cherries on the side of the road.

Panting, we stopped to look at the juicy ruddy cherries, and we all liked them very much. These are small cherries, not cherries.

The skin is thin and the fruit is small, with a little sourness in the sweetness. It is delicious and not expensive. We bought five catties for five cents. The old lady who bought the cherries smiled and told us not to be greedy. If you eat too much of this stuff, you'll get sick to your stomach.

I asked her if there were any more in the future, and she said that the cherry fruit period was short, and she was here every day for five or six days.It's not easy for the old lady to sell cherries in the light rain!

We carried the cherries in a small basket and ate them as we walked. The old lady gave the small basket to us and brought it with us when we said we would buy it again tomorrow.

Chen Xiang ate happily. I got a lot of cherry diced and poured them all into my mouth. Chen Xiang wailed and called me a donkey eating cabbage.

Haha.

I said that I would buy it again tomorrow. Chen Xiang said that it was raining today, and the cherries tomorrow would not be sweet. I said it didn't matter. Thinking about the first time I ate fruit after being here for so long, I don't care if it is sweet or not. I love both as hell and feel like I'm taking vitamins haha.

I said: "Why don't we go buy a cherry seedling and plant it in the village. Now that we have land, we can plant whatever we want."

Chen Xiang nodded: "OK."

I squeezed his face: "Seeing that you are so generous after eating, you don't like spending money on weekdays."

Chen Xiang giggled.

We went to the gardening shop to find Boss Zou, and he said that there are seedlings, but cherry trees are not easy to grow, and it takes a few years to eat cherries.

Since we want to buy, buy a few more. We bought a cherry sapling, a peach sapling, an apple sapling, a pear sapling, and a jujube sapling.

Feeling that I have made a fortune, I don’t have to worry about running out of fruit from now on. Boss Zou laughed at me and said that it’s still too early, why it takes three or four years to grow the fruit, and the fruit in the first two years can’t be too big or too much.

My God, do I have to wait so long? I angrily bought another apricot sapling!

After picking out an apricot sapling, I spotted a familiar seedling hidden behind it with sharp eyes, and quickly pulled it out.

Boss Zou came over and said, "Hey, why did you get a miscellaneous seedling?"

I understood immediately, he didn't recognize this thing, I suppressed the ecstasy in my heart, and said, "Is this crap useful? If it's not useful, why don't you take it with you?"

Boss Zou shook his head: "The useless miscellaneous seedlings are so small that they are not enough to be used as firewood."

I said, "Okay, how much are these saplings worth?"

Boss Zou waved his hand and said, "Forget it, our old friends, three liang of silver will do."

I wrote him a note, and when I got back to get the money, I said, "Thanks, I'll treat you to figs this fall."

Boss Zou picked out his ear: "What?"

I made a grimace, and raised the sapling in my hand: "Figs, if you plant them this year, they will bear fruit this year. Let's go, don't give them away hahahaha."

Boss Zou chased after me and wanted to beat me up. I ran away with the sapling on my shoulders.

He yelled at the back that he wanted to add ten taels to the note, so I ignored him!

Chen Xiang didn't know what figs were. I told him that they were very sweet fruits that were especially beneficial to the body.He is looking forward to it, after all, it will be available this year.

After lunch, I went to Zhuangzi by myself. Lao Zhu and his family were there, and the house has been repaired now. It is really difficult for them to repair the house on a rainy day, even though it is drizzle.

Money is tight right now, and when I have more money, I will give them a good job of repairing and painting the walls.

They were very enthusiastic when they met me, and I didn't like the feeling of nodding and bowing.The two children are also very good, and they obediently call me Master Zhang when they meet each other.

I gave the saplings to Lao Zhu, and asked him to plant them early. He said it was a trivial matter, and there was a bag of grain and a bag of vegetables piled up in the corner. Adong probably sent them over. I asked them if they needed any more. He said no need for anything, and he had to bring all the bedding from home, which was enough.

I continued to eat cherries at night, I was okay, but Chen Xiang really had diarrhea, it seems that this kind of small cherries are a bit cold, Chen Xiang should not eat more.

I made him a bowl of brown sugar water, and he felt better after drinking it.

There are several thick stacks of fabrics piled up in the study room at home, all of which are tailor-made clothes and bag materials, high-quality fabrics, and even silk products, which are very expensive. Basically, all my salary last month was invested in these .

The basic salary last month was five taels, because the activities before the Dragon Boat Festival were very successful, and many people were unwilling to give up on the Dragon Boat Festival to see if there were any gift boxes, and made another wave (this is why I took the opportunity of opening a store to hold the Dragon Boat Festival in advance Festival activities), so the commission is 15 taels, a total of 20 taels.

There are no activities scheduled for this month and next month, so the commission will probably be less, let’s get the basic salary, and take care of the affairs of the village, and the fresh milk at home can’t be cut off, Xiangzhi and sister-in-law Fen also have to pay wages, we The deposit is only 30 taels, so I have to live frugally.
