- #100 - Chapter 100: Building a house (second update)
Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin also think this is appropriate.
The three people discussed the matter of building a house and finalized some details.
Jiang Zhiluo said: “Mom, Uncle Li Zheng and the others can help with the arrangements. Let’s send something over alone later.”
Mrs. Cui smiled and said: “This is nature, this is human nature.”
Mrs. Cui felt that during the discussion just now, Jiang Zhiluo thought about things very carefully.
Cui Hejin doesn’t talk much. Usually when he needs to add something, he will say a few words.
Everyone supports Jiang Zhiluo’s idea.
…
It stopped raining the next day, so Cui Hejin went to the school to teach.
As for Mrs. Cui, she communicated with Li Zheng about building a house.
Whatever Jiang Zhiluo wanted to help with, both Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin insisted that she take a good rest at home and not work or let the cold wind blow in these days.
It has been a bit cold even though it has rained.
Li Zheng also called a meeting with the villagers after the rain stopped the next day and told the villagers that the Cui family was building a house. They did not need to pay for food, but only paid ten cents a day for a labor force.
Most of the villagers took their own stools and sat under the old locust tree to listen to Li Zheng’s conversation.
If there are important things in the village, they will be discussed here.
Sometimes there are many things to do and just standing is tiring. After a long time, everyone will get used to bringing a bench from home, so that sitting can not be tiring.
“What, ten cents a day, is it real or fake?”
When a woman heard this, she became excited and shouted.
Everyone also looked at Li Zheng.
“That’s right, Brother Zhou, can the Cui family really afford the salary?”
“That’s right, in fact, everyone in a village knows everything, so it’s okay to go and help when you’re not busy.”
Actually, they are in charge of the food. No one will say anything about whether the management is good or not.
“Ten cents a day, working for half a month, that’s more than a hundred cents.”
To the villagers, more than one hundred Wen is really a lot of money.
With this money, those who don’t have enough food at home can buy some food to eat so that they won’t go hungry.
Whenever you buy something on weekdays, you don’t have to dig around so much.
“It is normal for the Cui family to build a house without having a house.”
“It’s good to have a salary, that’s better than taking care of the food.”
“Yes, we all live in our own village anyway. It’s like going home to eat. It’s like walking a few steps to a village. After eating, it’s like going back to work.”
Most people in the village cannot afford wages, so they help each other with everything and just take care of the food.
Anyway, everyone is idle, so there is still room for some effort.
…
Everyone expressed their doubts in a hurry.
Li was waiting for everyone to finish talking, and then explained: “The Cui family is a serious family, and they don’t talk in vain. A labor force is worth ten cents a day, and you will be given one after the work is done that day. Don’t worry.”
“The Cui family went to town to sell some things some time ago and had some copper coins in their hands. In order to thank everyone for helping them before, they said they would pay them according to their wages, and they also wanted to help everyone.”
“Everyone knows that there is no shortage of labor right now. During the off-season, it’s hard to find a job. People may not even use you to move things at the dock.”
“We work for our own village, so we can’t be lazy.”
Although I know that the people in the village are all good, I still have to remind them when it is time to do so.
“This is natural. Even if we don’t pay wages, everyone should still put in their efforts.”
Just thinking that the Cui family knew how good they were and remembered everyone’s help made them feel very happy.
However, some women were a little surprised when they heard that the Cui family had made money by selling some things, and they also wanted to make money. Some of them wanted to go back and ask the Cui family.
At any rate, after Li Zheng finished talking to the villagers, he started counting the people. The strong labor force in the village signed up, and Li Zheng counted the number of people.
Including some fifteen-year-old boys who also have a lot of energy, everyone also wants to make ten cents.
Li Zheng saw that they were indeed able to work and had strength, so he also joined them.
Anyway, Jiang Zhiluo said, the more people the better, as long as they have the ability to work and don’t hold them back.
Then there are some people from Xingshan Village.
After discussion, construction started the next day.
Jiang Zhiluo also rested at home for four days, settling hundreds of coins every day. Jiang Zhiluo felt a little distressed when she took it out.
She became more and more anxious to do business and make money.
“Mom, I’m in good health and I really don’t need any more rest.”
“Building a house now costs at least a few hundred cents per day, and it takes ten taels of silver to build it for half a month. We must quickly find a way to do some business to make money.”
“Zhi Luo, your health is the most important thing. He Jin told me before going to school that I can’t let you be tired.”
“Mom, I know, I’m really well now, and I can’t stay idle.”
Seeing that Jiang Zhiluo was very insistent, Mrs. Cui relaxed when she saw that her complexion had improved and that she indeed had strength.
Jiang Zhiluo had lunch that day and went to town with a backpack on her back in the afternoon.
Mother and Cui Hejin didn’t have enough medicinal materials, so Jiang Zhiluo had no choice but to go to the medical clinic to buy them.
When Jiang Zhiluo went to Xinglin Medical Clinic, the doctors and servants at the medical clinic recognized her when they looked at her.
“Miss Jiang is here!”
“Our young master has personally taken people to various places to find medicinal materials, and he is not in the store.”
Jiang Zhiluo explained: “I’m not here to see your young master. I’m here to get medicine.”
Jiang Zhiluo took out two prescriptions and handed them to the medicine boy.
They are all common medicinal materials.
She couldn’t afford some precious medicinal materials for the time being, so she could only improve the prescriptions.
Although medicinal materials are usually not expensive, they can also warm and nourish the bodies of Mrs. Cui and Cui Hejin.
Just to grab three sets of medicine, it cost seven taels of silver.
Jiang Zhiluo had to lament that the medicinal materials were really expensive.
No wonder the people in the village have headaches and fever. They use earthwork to treat the disease and resist it if they can. They rarely come to the medical center to get medicine.
Looks like we still have to seize the time to make money quickly.
Then, she went to buy some seasonings and spices, spent more than one or two silver, and then went to Lin Zhuzhu’s meat stall.
As soon as she saw Jiang Zhiluo, Lin Zhuzhu immediately became energetic and said, “Oh, Sister Jiang, you are finally here.”
“If you don’t come, I will go to your house to visit you after I close the stall.”
“You don’t know how many people have come to my meat stall to buy braised food these past few days, but there is no braised food. Many people have complained.”
“I think they may have gone elsewhere to buy brine.”
“A few old customers told me that although the prices bought elsewhere were cheaper, the taste was different, and the braised soup tasted very different, so they would rather buy it here. I asked several times when have.”
“If Brother Zhou from your village hadn’t said that your family was busy building a house, I would have thought that you would no longer be in the braised food business.”
Lin Zhuzhu was not very energetic when she was playing eggplant with Shuang. When she saw Jiang Zhiluo coming, she instantly became energetic.
Chattered for quite a while.
By the way, I paid Jiang Zhiluo the money from selling braised meat that day.
Jiang Zhiluo received more than a thousand yuan.
By the way, I also know some of the market trends these days.
