Chapter 36
In Baitang Village, several craftsmen were brought to the field by Baishu, and they were carefully surveying the terrain.
They came to Baitang Village for three days and discussed with Baishu every day, and they had almost discussed the details of Zhuangzi.
At this moment, they are discussing where to build the house based on the specific landform.
Similar to what Bai Shu thought, after several craftsmen saw it, they still suggested to build the house on the back of the mountain.
Because Bai Shu wanted to do business, the house was built a little bigger than Bai Shu imagined.Due to the complex drainage system, the foundation has to be dug very deep.
After several craftsmen have measured the land and marked it, they will start preparing various materials.
And Bai Shu couldn't be idle either, he was going to the village to recruit people.
Building such a large house requires a lot of workers.
But before recruiting people, Bai Shu went to his own fish pond first.
After these days, the fish pond has almost been dug. Bai Zhu checked and found that work can be called off this afternoon.
Even if the ditches are dug, the fish cannot be kept in the fishpond, and Baishu has to use fishing nets to block the place where it is sealed with the river.
Fortunately, he had already prepared for it. When he asked Chen Dongqing to deliver the fish, he bought a lot of fishing nets by the way.
When the two workers had dug the ditch, he called them up and told them that he had other work for them.
As soon as they heard that they could continue to work for Baizhu, the two workers were overjoyed and thankful to Baishu.
Bai Shu was thinking about what positions to arrange for these two people.
Both of them are trustworthy, and both of them are honest people.The older long-term worker is more stable and hardworking, and can be assigned a management position, while the younger one is also a good hand at work, and it is not bad to be a foreman or something.
But now his workers haven't been recruited yet, so Bai Zhu asked them to go to the back mountain to cut bamboo. His fish pond still needs bamboo to reinforce it.
The two workers worked hard, and within half a day, they cut a lot of bamboo in the back mountain.
Bai Shu taught them to sharpen the beads at one end, cut them evenly into three feet long, and insert them into the ground one by one.
After the entire fish pond was filled with bamboo, Bai Zhu went down to the part connected to the river, and inserted a bamboo at a distance, then spread out the fishing net and fixed it along the edge of the fish pond.
He carefully inserted and fixed the bottom of the fishing net with bamboo poles, and then pressed it down with a row of big stones, so that he didn't have to worry about the fish escaping from below.
Bai Zhu went ashore and looked at his three-acre fish pond with satisfaction.
After his careful repair, the whole fish pond is connected with the small river, forming a depression with water.
In the middle of the depression, square pieces of land can be faintly seen, where rice can be planted.
In the fish pond where rice is planted, after the rice is harvested, the rice stalks in the field become food for the fish.And fish dung and excrement can fertilize the land and make the rice grow better.
This is the knowledge Bai Shu learned in elective courses in the past, but he did not expect it to come in handy now.
After the fish pond was built, Bai Zhu caught a lot of fish from the river, but he didn't eat them himself, but poured them all into the fish pond.
The fish were swimming around in the fish pond, but when they reached the edge, they were caught by the fishing net and could not swim out.
In this way, the fish pond of Atractylodes macrocephala is officially completed only after the rice seedlings are planted.
The practice of Baishu attracted many villagers in the village to watch.
Seeing Baizhu make the fish pond like this, many villagers stood on the bank and whispered to each other...
Atractylodes dug the field like this, the area that can be planted with rice is much smaller.
And rice occupies such a large area, how many fish can be raised in the pond?
When Bai Shu did this, he didn't hide anyone behind his back.In fact, if someone wants to learn, he doesn't mind teaching them.
After all, his energy is limited and his land area is also limited. If the villagers by the river raise fish with him and he buys them together, it will save more effort.
But most of the villagers are not optimistic about Baizhu's fishpond, and most of them are gloating. A few are curious, and they don't have the courage to try it, so they are determined to continue to wait and see for a while.
After all, when Bai Shu made money, it would not be too late for them to ask for advice.
Taking advantage of the large number of onlookers, Bai Zhu said again that his house will start construction tomorrow, and dozens of people need to be hired.
Anyone who has experience in building a house, or has great strength, can come to the door of his house to sign up early tomorrow morning.
When the villagers heard this, they immediately talked about it, and many of them were happy.
After all, they work for Baizhu, but there is meat to eat every day, and it is not the busy season of farming, so they wish that the whole family can work for Baizhu.
·
In a place that Bai Shu didn't notice, Wang Mutou stood far behind the crowd, clenching his fists as he watched the man in the crowd.
A few days ago, the second child of his family was sick. After taking a few medicines, the illness was cured, but the family was almost unable to open the pot.
Since the last time he went to buy a wild goose, that meager deposit was almost spent.
If he could help Bai Zhu with work this time... Would he be able to save enough for his second baby's medicine earlier?
·
The next day, Bai Shu moved a table in front of the house, and asked Xie Huaiyu for paper and pens to put away.
This time we need a lot of manpower, so we can't do the same as last time, just ask casually, leaving a few who seem honest.
Early in the morning, the entire courtyard was filled with applicants at the gate.
Many families were brothers, fathers and sons, and several of them were standing together, watching the renovated house of Baishu and chattering.
Bai Laosan's family was ashamed, and Bai Zou yelled at the window to death.
However, no one in the villagers bought into their account. Everyone laughed and talked about Bai Zou's forced death of his daughter-in-law.Bai Zou's face turned pale, he closed the window and even drew the curtain inside.
At Maoshi, Bai Zhu came out from the house, and those people were quiet for a while.
Bai Shu looked around and said, "This time, we need at least fifty experts to recruit people. You all need to line up and come to register one by one."
"Registration? What is registration?"
"I have built so many houses, and I have never heard of this term. I don't know what this registration is?"
Most of the villagers are uneducated. When Bai Shu mentioned registration, they looked at each other, not knowing what it meant.
Occasionally, a few people knew about it, and they shouted impatiently: "Isn't it just building houses? I have gone to the county to help people build houses several times. We are all from the same village. Why do we need to register?"
"If you don't want to register, you can go back now." Bai Shu said coldly: "I don't care how many times you have repaired houses or how much experience you have. If you work for me, you must abide by my rules."
Hearing what he said, all the villagers fell silent and lined up obediently in a long line.
Bai Shu asked people to come to the table one by one and asked each person's name, family situation, what they were good at, etc.
After the workers answered one by one, Bai Shu recorded the basic information on the rice paper, which was considered completed.
Outside the courtyard, Wang Mumu lowered his head and quietly stood at the end of the crowd.
He wanted to work for Baishu, but he was really ashamed, so he dared to stand far away at the end.
Although he was very low-key, he was still seen by others, and immediately a few people standing at the end said loudly: "Hey, isn't this Wang Mumu? Why are you here? You can't be here to propose marriage again, right? "
The news of Wang Mutou's marriage proposal to Baishu that day had already spread throughout Baitang Village, and it became the talk of these villagers after dinner.
If Bai Shu was still the poor guy with nothing, people would not have any thoughts about Wang Mumu.
But now that Baishu has made a fortune, he not only bought land, but also built a big house.
When the villagers looked at Wang Mumu again, they thought he was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, and their words were somewhat contemptuous.
They coaxed together like this, Bai Shu who was sitting at the table also found Wang Mumu.
After what happened last time, Bai Shu's impression of Wang Mutou is actually not very good.After all, this misunderstanding almost made Xie Huaiyu angry.
Why is this Wang Mumu here again?
Bai Shu wished not to deal with the other party anymore, with their current relationship, they should avoid suspicion.
Bai Shu frowned slightly, and asked, "Wang Mutou, what are you doing here? Let's talk about it."
When he asked such a question, Wang Mutou's face flushed immediately, and he hesitated for a long time without saying a word.
Seeing his appearance, the villagers laughed harder.
Someone else said loudly: "Wang Mutou, Bai Shu has already asked you to speak, why are you still so timid? No wonder people look down on you."
Hearing this, Wang Mumu felt as if he had been roasted with oil.
He glared at the man fiercely, gritted his teeth, turned his head and left quickly.
Bai Shu was a little speechless, and didn't know what Wang Mutou was here for.
He continued to ask the people behind to come and register, but he kept an eye on it.
When everyone was almost registered, Bai Shu found a villager surnamed Wang to come over.
This villager surnamed Wang is Wang Mutou's uncle, named Wang Shitou, and is also related to Mrs. Wang.
Bai Shu asked him, "Do you know what Wang Mutou did just now?"
Wang Shitou was afraid that Baishu would anger him because of Wang Mutou's affairs, so he no longer hired him.So he quickly explained: "Brother Bai, I think Wang Mutou probably has no other intentions when he comes here this time, he just wants to work."
Fearing that Bai Shu would not believe it, he continued, "You don't know, the second son of Wang Mutou's family had a cold a few days ago. Because of his serious illness, he took him to the county doctor to see a doctor. He took a few doses of medicine. It's finally healed. But you also know that no matter how cheap the medicine is, it costs more than ten yuan for a pair. This Wang Mumu is really out of money now, and it is difficult to cook at home. He went to my house to borrow food yesterday .I’m going to come here this time, I’m afraid I know that you have a lot of money and meat to eat here, so I don’t care about face.”
Bai Shu was silent for a while after listening to Wang Shitou's words.
I didn't expect Wang Mutou to come here, and there was such a reason.
Bai Shu really didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Mutou, but when he thought of the three children he had seen before, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Forget it, the big deal is that he will explain it to Xie Huaiyu today, Bai Shu thought.
So he said to Wang Shishi: "Since he came to work, why didn't he come to register and just ran away?"
"In this way, for the sake of the three children, I will give him another chance. I have just dug a fish pond on the shore, and I haven't had time to find someone to cultivate it. If he is willing, let him plant rice for me. The salary is the same as repairing a house, including a meal. You should ask him now."
"Yes, yes! Of course he is willing!" Wang Shitou said repeatedly after hearing this, and ran out the door in a hurry.
For peasants like them, farming is much easier than building a house.To still get the same amount of money, Wang Mutou was lucky.
If he earns some money, he can go to buy some food, and he will be able to survive until the autumn harvest, and life will be easier by then.
·
At Wang Mumu's house, the three children were drinking a large bowl of well water with bowls in their hands.
The boss was the first to put down the empty bowl, looked at Wang Mu and shouted, "Father, I'm still hungry."
"Dad, I'm hungry..."
"I'm hungry too."
The voices of the three children calling for hunger in turn caused Wang Mutou to feel irritated. For the first time, he couldn't help but get angry at the three children, and shouted loudly: "Why are you hungry? You know how to eat all day long! It's not time to eat!"
The three children were stunned by Wang Mutou's yelling, and burst into tears one after another.
Surrounded by the heaven-shattering howls, Wang Mumu felt dizzy and buried his face in his hands in frustration.
"Wang Mutou, Wang Mutou!" There was a knock on the door.
Wang Mutou heard that it was his uncle Wang Shitou's voice, so he calmed down his emotions, got up and went to open the door.
As soon as Wang Shitou came in, he saw the three children crying loudly, and he quickly coaxed, "Why are you crying! Your father has something good to do, and you won't be hungry, so stop crying."
When the three children heard that something good was going on, their sobbing gradually became quieter, and they looked up at Wang Shitou one by one, their noses bubbling.
Wang Mutou sighed with a gloomy face and said, "Uncle, if there is anything good I can do, don't lie to me. Look at the situation at home, and I will borrow your Doudou, and it will last until next month. Now The child can only eat some bean soup with wild vegetables to survive, and cry from hunger."
"Hey, since I said it's a good thing, I definitely won't lie to you." Wang Shitou sat down on the bed of Wang Mutou's house.
Wang Mutou's family was poor and couldn't afford furniture, so people who came here sat on the bed directly.
"Let me tell you, Bai Zhu notified me just now to ask you to plant rice in his fish pond." Wang Shitou said, "The salary is the same as that of building a house, and you will be paid a meal. This is not a big deal." Good thing?"
When Wang Mutou heard this, he was stunned.
He ran away just now, because he felt that Bai Shu seemed to be very disgusted with him, and he felt that the work must be lost, so he left directly.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Wang Shitou came to inform him that he was hired by Baishu!
"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Wang Mumu couldn't believe it: "How could Baishu hire me?"
"Really!" Wang Shitou said, "I'm your relative, and I can still lie to you. He told me in person just now."
"Speaking of this little brother from the Bai family, he is really kind." Wang Shitou said with some emotion: "He asked me why you came here, so I told him the truth about your family. As a result, after listening to it, he said that for the sake of the child, I will give you a job. Last time when the daughter-in-law of the third Bai family had an accident, didn't he also go to the county to invite a doctor? Few people have it. Even if you look like a man, it's worth marrying."
Seeing Wang Mutou heard this, the expression on his face seemed a little sad.Wang Shitou went on to say: "Since you are interested in this little brother Bai, why not pursue him again. Now that you have the opportunity to get in touch with him, if you show your performance, maybe he will agree. With his current worth, If you marry him, it will be a turnaround for the koi."
"Don't say that again." Hearing Wang Shitou's words, Wang Mutou quickly stopped him and said, "I've met this guy Baishu twice before, seeing that he was kind to the children, I thought he was kind to me. Interesting."
"At that time, his family was still poor, and Bai Lao San was not good to him. I think that even though I have a child, if I go to propose marriage to him, he should agree." Wang Mutou said: "I don't know that Bai Shu has made a fortune now. , I also bought the land. And with regard to Mrs. Bai Li, I just realized that he really has a good heart and is good to everyone, but I would be wrong."
"I've completely given up on it now." Wang Mutou said seriously: "As long as I am like this, how can I be worthy of him? He should reject me. This time, he will ignore the past and give me a job. I am very grateful He's gone. If I got up to it shamelessly, it would ruin his reputation and kill him."
Seeing that Wang Mutou had made up his mind, Wang Shitou stopped trying to persuade him, but shook his head and said, "It is said that you are honest, and you are right. It is your own business, so I am inconvenient to say more about it. Just make up your mind."
·
After Baishu registered everyone's information, after some selection, more than 50 people were selected and divided into three groups.
These three groups are those who dig foundations, those who transport sand and soil, and those who transport bricks and stones.After the foundation is dug later, it will be subdivided again, and they will be arranged to build walls, saw wood and so on.
Among the applicants this time, there are many families with the same surname. Bai Shu specially broke up the people and evenly divided the family into three different groups.
After all, when there are too many people, it is difficult to test people's character.When a family gathers together for a long time, it is inevitable that they will want to touch fish, be lazy or something, and they can also cover each other.
In this way, they are all dispersed and supervised by each other, and the work efficiency will be higher.
In addition to breaking up groups, Baishu also proposed a reward and punishment mechanism.
The three groups of workers competed, and which group did the work quickly and well, and each person in that group as a whole would get an extra penny for the day.
Most of the villagers in these villages have farmed for generations.Where have I seen such a reward and punishment method.
All of them felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, thinking that their team could do the best and get that penny more reward.
In addition, Bai Shu recruited the two people who helped him dig the fish pond before.
They originally came to apply for the job with other villagers, thinking that they would definitely be selected.
But after a lot of waiting, Bai Shu made up the group and the others arranged their work, but they still haven't been called.
These two people inevitably felt a little uneasy, thinking that Bai Shu didn't want to use them anymore.
So when Bai Shu informed them that they would help him oversee the work and gave them an additional wage increase, the two of them were immediately very excited and grateful to Bai Shu.
Bai Shu put the younger man in charge of supervising the progress of the workers and gave him an extra three Wen every day.
As for the old long-term worker, Bai Shu asked him to manage all kinds of building materials, and gave him five extra coins every day.
This is a fat job, and it is also the easiest job to steal.
This long-term worker is a person who has been tested by Bai Shu, and he seems to be honest so far, so Bai Shu will let him try in this position first.
As for Brother Liu, it was obviously too busy to cook by himself, so Bai Shu recruited the man and the wife of the long-term worker's family to cook with Brother Liu.
I saw that the people who followed Bai Shu had their salaries raised, but I didn't.Brother Liu immediately lost his face, obviously a little unhappy.
But Bai Shu didn't need to pay attention to his feelings.
Brother Liu's temperament is fine for some work of cooking and cooking, but he is really not suitable for entrusting him with important tasks.
Seeing that he was a friend called by Chen Dongqing.Bai Shu was going to ask him to help Chen Dongqing plant herbs after the house repair work was over.
Otherwise, Chen Dongqing would soon be overwhelmed with sending fish and planting medicinal herbs.
·
When the three craftsmen came again, Baishu had already contacted all the materials needed to build the house.
Most of the materials can be bought in the county, and a small part can only be found in the prefecture.
Xie Huaiyu didn't tell Bai Shu, he sent his servants to help him purchase, and also brought them here in a carriage.
The craftsmen were a little surprised when they saw the workers Baishu had recruited.
They have repaired many houses and have seen all kinds of workers.
That is to say, there are strictly disciplined workers who are in charge of royal buildings, there are experienced and experienced workers who like to sneak and play tricks, and there are also inexperienced motley crews temporarily recruited from nearby.
Originally in Baitang Village, they didn't expect Baishu to find any good workers.
But looking at it now, these people are neatly lined up in three teams, and when they see them, their eyes light up and their spirits shine.I can't wait to gear up and do a big job immediately.
This spirit alone can compare to the imperial workers.
The white-bearded craftsman couldn't help but praised: "Brother Bai, your Baitang Village is really extraordinary. Even the villagers are so energetic."
Bai Shu smiled and said: "But most of them are inexperienced, please explain the process clearly so as to avoid mistakes and omissions when you get it."
"Brother Bai, don't worry, this is our duty, let's start now."
After all, the three craftsmen led a group of workers to the pre-planned land, and Bai Shu's yard fell silent.
After finally resting, Bai Zhu moved the table back into the house, sat down and drank a few sips of water, and was about to take a rest before leaving to visit the scene.
From registration in the morning to now, Bai Zhu was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water, and Xie Huaiyu didn't have time to go there. He planned to catch some good fish and send them to him after he came back from the scene.
Just as he was thinking, there was a soft knock on the door.
He tapped twice without rushing, which made Bai Shu stunned for a moment, not knowing who came to him.
Opening the door, there was a tall man standing at the door. He was wearing a bamboo green linen gown and a vertebral cap to cover his face.There is also a light and pleasant pine scent on the body.
Bai Shu really couldn't guess who in Baitang Village would wear a vertebral cap when going out, but he looked at the other person's figure and felt quite familiar.
Just as he was about to ask who the other party was, the man wearing the vertebral cap smiled lightly and said, "What? You don't want to invite me in?"
The low and mellow voice reached Bai Shu's ears, which made him startled for a moment, and the hairs all over his body exploded.
This, this, this!If this is not Xie Huaiyu, who is it?
Why did Xie Huaiyu come to his house!
They came to Baitang Village for three days and discussed with Baishu every day, and they had almost discussed the details of Zhuangzi.
At this moment, they are discussing where to build the house based on the specific landform.
Similar to what Bai Shu thought, after several craftsmen saw it, they still suggested to build the house on the back of the mountain.
Because Bai Shu wanted to do business, the house was built a little bigger than Bai Shu imagined.Due to the complex drainage system, the foundation has to be dug very deep.
After several craftsmen have measured the land and marked it, they will start preparing various materials.
And Bai Shu couldn't be idle either, he was going to the village to recruit people.
Building such a large house requires a lot of workers.
But before recruiting people, Bai Shu went to his own fish pond first.
After these days, the fish pond has almost been dug. Bai Zhu checked and found that work can be called off this afternoon.
Even if the ditches are dug, the fish cannot be kept in the fishpond, and Baishu has to use fishing nets to block the place where it is sealed with the river.

When the two workers had dug the ditch, he called them up and told them that he had other work for them.
As soon as they heard that they could continue to work for Baizhu, the two workers were overjoyed and thankful to Baishu.
Bai Shu was thinking about what positions to arrange for these two people.
Both of them are trustworthy, and both of them are honest people.The older long-term worker is more stable and hardworking, and can be assigned a management position, while the younger one is also a good hand at work, and it is not bad to be a foreman or something.

But most of the villagers are not optimistic about Baizhu's fishpond, and most of them are gloating. A few are curious, and they don't have the courage to try it, so they are determined to continue to wait and see for a while.
After all, when Bai Shu made money, it would not be too late for them to ask for advice.
Taking advantage of the large number of onlookers, Bai Zhu said again that his house will start construction tomorrow, and dozens of people need to be hired.
Anyone who has experience in building a house, or has great strength, can come to the door of his house to sign up early tomorrow morning.
When the villagers heard this, they immediately talked about it, and many of them were happy.
After all, they work for Baizhu, but there is meat to eat every day, and it is not the busy season of farming, so they wish that the whole family can work for Baizhu.

Wang Shitou was afraid that Baishu would anger him because of Wang Mutou's affairs, so he no longer hired him.So he quickly explained: "Brother Bai, I think Wang Mutou probably has no other intentions when he comes here this time, he just wants to work."
Fearing that Bai Shu would not believe it, he continued, "You don't know, the second son of Wang Mutou's family had a cold a few days ago. Because of his serious illness, he took him to the county doctor to see a doctor. He took a few doses of medicine. It's finally healed. But you also know that no matter how cheap the medicine is, it costs more than ten yuan for a pair. This Wang Mumu is really out of money now, and it is difficult to cook at home. He went to my house to borrow food yesterday .I’m going to come here this time, I’m afraid I know that you have a lot of money and meat to eat here, so I don’t care about face.”
Bai Shu was silent for a while after listening to Wang Shitou's words.
I didn't expect Wang Mutou to come here, and there was such a reason.
Bai Shu really didn't want to have anything to do with Wang Mutou, but when he thought of the three children he had seen before, he couldn't bear it anymore.
Forget it, the big deal is that he will explain it to Xie Huaiyu today, Bai Shu thought.
So he said to Wang Shishi: "Since he came to work, why didn't he come to register and just ran away?"
"In this way, for the sake of the three children, I will give him another chance. I have just dug a fish pond on the shore, and I haven't had time to find someone to cultivate it. If he is willing, let him plant rice for me. The salary is the same as repairing a house, including a meal. You should ask him now."
"Yes, yes! Of course he is willing!" Wang Shitou said repeatedly after hearing this, and ran out the door in a hurry.
For peasants like them, farming is much easier than building a house.To still get the same amount of money, Wang Mutou was lucky.
If he earns some money, he can go to buy some food, and he will be able to survive until the autumn harvest, and life will be easier by then.

At Wang Mumu's house, the three children were drinking a large bowl of well water with bowls in their hands.
The boss was the first to put down the empty bowl, looked at Wang Mu and shouted, "Father, I'm still hungry."
"Dad, I'm hungry..."
"I'm hungry too."
The voices of the three children calling for hunger in turn caused Wang Mutou to feel irritated. For the first time, he couldn't help but get angry at the three children, and shouted loudly: "Why are you hungry? You know how to eat all day long! It's not time to eat!"
The three children were stunned by Wang Mutou's yelling, and burst into tears one after another.
Surrounded by the heaven-shattering howls, Wang Mumu felt dizzy and buried his face in his hands in frustration.
"Wang Mutou, Wang Mutou!" There was a knock on the door.
Wang Mutou heard that it was his uncle Wang Shitou's voice, so he calmed down his emotions, got up and went to open the door.
As soon as Wang Shitou came in, he saw the three children crying loudly, and he quickly coaxed, "Why are you crying! Your father has something good to do, and you won't be hungry, so stop crying."
When the three children heard that something good was going on, their sobbing gradually became quieter, and they looked up at Wang Shitou one by one, their noses bubbling.
Wang Mutou sighed with a gloomy face and said, "Uncle, if there is anything good I can do, don't lie to me. Look at the situation at home, and I will borrow your Doudou, and it will last until next month. Now The child can only eat some bean soup with wild vegetables to survive, and cry from hunger."
"Hey, since I said it's a good thing, I definitely won't lie to you." Wang Shitou sat down on the bed of Wang Mutou's house.
Wang Mutou's family was poor and couldn't afford furniture, so people who came here sat on the bed directly.
"Let me tell you, Bai Zhu notified me just now to ask you to plant rice in his fish pond." Wang Shitou said, "The salary is the same as that of building a house, and you will be paid a meal. This is not a big deal." Good thing?"
When Wang Mutou heard this, he was stunned.
He ran away just now, because he felt that Bai Shu seemed to be very disgusted with him, and he felt that the work must be lost, so he left directly.
Unexpectedly, not long after, Wang Shitou came to inform him that he was hired by Baishu!
"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Wang Mumu couldn't believe it: "How could Baishu hire me?"
"Really!" Wang Shitou said, "I'm your relative, and I can still lie to you. He told me in person just now."
"Speaking of this little brother from the Bai family, he is really kind." Wang Shitou said with some emotion: "He asked me why you came here, so I told him the truth about your family. As a result, after listening to it, he said that for the sake of the child, I will give you a job. Last time when the daughter-in-law of the third Bai family had an accident, didn't he also go to the county to invite a doctor? Few people have it. Even if you look like a man, it's worth marrying."
Seeing Wang Mutou heard this, the expression on his face seemed a little sad.Wang Shitou went on to say: "Since you are interested in this little brother Bai, why not pursue him again. Now that you have the opportunity to get in touch with him, if you show your performance, maybe he will agree. With his current worth, If you marry him, it will be a turnaround for the koi."
"Don't say that again." Hearing Wang Shitou's words, Wang Mutou quickly stopped him and said, "I've met this guy Baishu twice before, seeing that he was kind to the children, I thought he was kind to me. Interesting."
"At that time, his family was still poor, and Bai Lao San was not good to him. I think that even though I have a child, if I go to propose marriage to him, he should agree." Wang Mutou said: "I don't know that Bai Shu has made a fortune now. , I also bought the land. And with regard to Mrs. Bai Li, I just realized that he really has a good heart and is good to everyone, but I would be wrong."
"I've completely given up on it now." Wang Mutou said seriously: "As long as I am like this, how can I be worthy of him? He should reject me. This time, he will ignore the past and give me a job. I am very grateful He's gone. If I got up to it shamelessly, it would ruin his reputation and kill him."
Seeing that Wang Mutou had made up his mind, Wang Shitou stopped trying to persuade him, but shook his head and said, "It is said that you are honest, and you are right. It is your own business, so I am inconvenient to say more about it. Just make up your mind."
·
After Baishu registered everyone's information, after some selection, more than 50 people were selected and divided into three groups.
These three groups are those who dig foundations, those who transport sand and soil, and those who transport bricks and stones.After the foundation is dug later, it will be subdivided again, and they will be arranged to build walls, saw wood and so on.
Among the applicants this time, there are many families with the same surname. Bai Shu specially broke up the people and evenly divided the family into three different groups.
After all, when there are too many people, it is difficult to test people's character.When a family gathers together for a long time, it is inevitable that they will want to touch fish, be lazy or something, and they can also cover each other.
In this way, they are all dispersed and supervised by each other, and the work efficiency will be higher.
In addition to breaking up groups, Baishu also proposed a reward and punishment mechanism.
The three groups of workers competed, and which group did the work quickly and well, and each person in that group as a whole would get an extra penny for the day.
Most of the villagers in these villages have farmed for generations.Where have I seen such a reward and punishment method.
All of them felt as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, thinking that their team could do the best and get that penny more reward.
In addition, Bai Shu recruited the two people who helped him dig the fish pond before.
They originally came to apply for the job with other villagers, thinking that they would definitely be selected.
But after a lot of waiting, Bai Shu made up the group and the others arranged their work, but they still haven't been called.
These two people inevitably felt a little uneasy, thinking that Bai Shu didn't want to use them anymore.
So when Bai Shu informed them that they would help him oversee the work and gave them an additional wage increase, the two of them were immediately very excited and grateful to Bai Shu.
Bai Shu put the younger man in charge of supervising the progress of the workers and gave him an extra three Wen every day.
As for the old long-term worker, Bai Shu asked him to manage all kinds of building materials, and gave him five extra coins every day.
This is a fat job, and it is also the easiest job to steal.
This long-term worker is a person who has been tested by Bai Shu, and he seems to be honest so far, so Bai Shu will let him try in this position first.
As for Brother Liu, it was obviously too busy to cook by himself, so Bai Shu recruited the man and the wife of the long-term worker's family to cook with Brother Liu.
I saw that the people who followed Bai Shu had their salaries raised, but I didn't.Brother Liu immediately lost his face, obviously a little unhappy.
But Bai Shu didn't need to pay attention to his feelings.
Brother Liu's temperament is fine for some work of cooking and cooking, but he is really not suitable for entrusting him with important tasks.
Seeing that he was a friend called by Chen Dongqing.Bai Shu was going to ask him to help Chen Dongqing plant herbs after the house repair work was over.
Otherwise, Chen Dongqing would soon be overwhelmed with sending fish and planting medicinal herbs.
·
When the three craftsmen came again, Baishu had already contacted all the materials needed to build the house.
Most of the materials can be bought in the county, and a small part can only be found in the prefecture.
Xie Huaiyu didn't tell Bai Shu, he sent his servants to help him purchase, and also brought them here in a carriage.
The craftsmen were a little surprised when they saw the workers Baishu had recruited.
They have repaired many houses and have seen all kinds of workers.
That is to say, there are strictly disciplined workers who are in charge of royal buildings, there are experienced and experienced workers who like to sneak and play tricks, and there are also inexperienced motley crews temporarily recruited from nearby.
Originally in Baitang Village, they didn't expect Baishu to find any good workers.
But looking at it now, these people are neatly lined up in three teams, and when they see them, their eyes light up and their spirits shine.I can't wait to gear up and do a big job immediately.
This spirit alone can compare to the imperial workers.
The white-bearded craftsman couldn't help but praised: "Brother Bai, your Baitang Village is really extraordinary. Even the villagers are so energetic."
Bai Shu smiled and said: "But most of them are inexperienced, please explain the process clearly so as to avoid mistakes and omissions when you get it."
"Brother Bai, don't worry, this is our duty, let's start now."
After all, the three craftsmen led a group of workers to the pre-planned land, and Bai Shu's yard fell silent.
After finally resting, Bai Zhu moved the table back into the house, sat down and drank a few sips of water, and was about to take a rest before leaving to visit the scene.
From registration in the morning to now, Bai Zhu was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water, and Xie Huaiyu didn't have time to go there. He planned to catch some good fish and send them to him after he came back from the scene.
Just as he was thinking, there was a soft knock on the door.
He tapped twice without rushing, which made Bai Shu stunned for a moment, not knowing who came to him.
Opening the door, there was a tall man standing at the door. He was wearing a bamboo green linen gown and a vertebral cap to cover his face.There is also a light and pleasant pine scent on the body.
Bai Shu really couldn't guess who in Baitang Village would wear a vertebral cap when going out, but he looked at the other person's figure and felt quite familiar.
Just as he was about to ask who the other party was, the man wearing the vertebral cap smiled lightly and said, "What? You don't want to invite me in?"
The low and mellow voice reached Bai Shu's ears, which made him startled for a moment, and the hairs all over his body exploded.
This, this, this!If this is not Xie Huaiyu, who is it?
Why did Xie Huaiyu come to his house!
