The four of Chu Rong were led through the village to Wang De's house at the foot of the mountain. This village is interestingly built. The village head¡¯s house is at the back, extending from the foot of the mountain in the west, along the west side to Zhuangtou, and each household is not as far apart as in Huang¡¯s Village. They live next to each other, much like the countryside in the previous life. .
Entering the courtyard gate, a woman in her fifties was wearing coarse linen clothes, which were also patched, but she was clean and looked much better than those outside.
"My lord, hurry up and sit in the room. The kang has just been heated, and it's not hot enough. It will be warm later." Wang De's daughter-in-law cautiously walked into the room with Chu Rong and the others, and when they were all seated, they were in a hurry. He ran out, but after a while, he brought two bowls and put them on the table.
"Well, it's just just two eggs. Don't be disgusted with your honored guests. Eat to warm your stomach first."
"Auntie, you don't need to be busy, sit down first." Looking at the candied eggs in the bowl, Chu Rong really couldn't laugh or cry. She knew that some places like to use brown sugar mixed with eggs to entertain guests. The eggs are fairly ordinary, but the brown sugar But it is a precious item, usually bought at drugstores, presumably it was something Dunzi bought to honor his mother.
Chu Rong chatted with Wang De's daughter-in-law, Xiao Chen asked Zhang Dayong to help cook, but Huang Shuhai left the yard alone, looked around, and then set off for the mountain.
On the Zhuangtou side, after the food was unloaded, Dunzi followed the convoy to Qi County without a break, and by the way, he also brought more than a dozen young people from the village to go shopping.
?Watching the convoy leave, Wang De let out a sigh of relief, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves. Those grains, if they save some food, can last until next year's summer harvest.
"Village chief, village chief, these rice noodles are for us to eat, can you take a bag back?"
"Go ahead, lock the door. Let's all go back and deal with it first. The master hasn't said anything. What can we eat?" Hearing this, Wang De hurriedly turned around and snatched the lock from the man's hand, and locked the door without saying a word. locked.
Although the words were out, he didn't dare to let people divide the food like this. He still had to ask the master how to deal with the food.
After driving the villagers home, Wang De heaved a long sigh and walked home.
Huang Shuhai went to the mountains, and when he came back, he had two vines in his hands, and pheasants and hares were tied to both ends of the vines. After sending them to Zhang Dayong, he cleaned his hands and went back to the house.
Chu Rong also chatted with Wang De's wife a lot, and inquired about the situation in Zhuangzi and the village in detail. Although the result was not ideal, it was still expected. With these people, several The workshop is still functioning.
After lunch, Chu Rong had a detailed conversation with Wang De. Among them, clearing up wasteland and digging canals were the first tasks, followed by planting orchards and building workshops.
Of course, there are still many things left, but it has to be the same thing. The fields and canals can be done well before the year, and the roads in the village can be repaired, and the rest will be discussed in the next year.
"Master, we can do all the things you said, but how can we do it without renting out the land, and our village relies on the farming to support itself. This This is our way of life."
Wang De listened carefully, and his blood boiled with enthusiasm. He wanted to do a big job, but when he heard that the land was not rented out, his expression changed.
In this era, land is the most important thing for village households. Only with land can we grow food and have something to eat. Although Xiaowang Village is all tenants, it is also a rare land, otherwise it would not be willing to sacrifice hard work. Dozens of acres of land.
Now that Chu Rong has wiped away the matter of the Diantian with a single sentence, Wang De can't bear it.
"Cunchang Wang, first tell me how much food can be left throughout the year when you are renting fields?"
Wang De was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously calculated.
Chu Rong didn't wait for him to answer, and spoke again, "A family of more than a dozen people, five of them come out to work in the workshop, and they get ten taels of silver per month, and three meals a day. Village Chief Wang, why do you want Hold on to Tsukuda and not let go."
In fact, at the beginning, Chu Rong thought about renting out the land, but after thinking about it, the rent is not easy to determine, and she has high-yielding grain seeds, so naturally she would not grow other things, and waited for the workshop It needs a large number of helpers to complete the construction. After such a plan, she feels that it is better to directly employ the relationship.
Wang De was also a little dumbfounded, because according to Chu Rong's words, those fields were really useless, and someone took care of the food, and there was so much monthly money.
With a sound of 'pa', Wang De slapped his thigh suddenly, got up and bowed again and again, "It's the old man who thought about it, so he will do as the master said."
& nbsp; Chu Rong smiled and asked Wang De to sit down, continuing to talk about her plan. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
