Chapter 145 Give you more money
Qinglin immediately said: "It will definitely be more fertile. You have a good idea. I will arrange for people to do this. If there are a lot of weeds in the woods, I will arrange for people to cut them back and burn them in the ground."
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, one hundred workers were invited one after another.
Shen Qianning assigned the cooking task to the women in the village.
Lady Shi and Qiu Shui took the lead, and two other women came to help.
Four people are responsible for meals for more than 100 people.
On the first day, Shen Qianning brought out the bacon and eggs. There was a lot of food space, so she transported some grains and rice.
As for dried vegetables, I also took some.
Today is the first day, so I just make do with it without too much preparation.
Shen Qianning entered the city early in the morning.
Probably because of the Chinese New Year, the county town is a little deserted than before.
There were not many people on the streets, but most shops were still open.
This season, I don’t expect any green leafy vegetables.
The ones on her land can't even be supplied by restaurants, so they certainly can't feed the workers.
So dried vegetables become the best choice.
To buy dried vegetables and other things, I went directly to Chenji Store.
Chen Zhongqiu is very busy now.
In the past, Shen Qianning could see Chen Zhongqiu just by coming to Chen Ji Store, but that was not possible now.
Every time I came, Chen Zhongqiu was not there, and the answer I got was the same. Chen Zhongqiu was out.
When Shen Qianning wants to buy something, the waiter in the store will sell it to Shen Qianning at the lowest price.
There were several baskets of dried vegetables.
These dishes take a long time to eat.
Then Mipu bought cereals.
Rice is impossible, the price is too expensive, you can eat it occasionally, but eating so many people every day, no matter how big your family is, cannot afford it.
Therefore, Shen Qianning bought a lot of various cereals.
Finally we went to the vegetable market.
At the vegetable market, Shen Qianning saw fresh cabbage and bought it.
I also bought a lot of taro and other things.
The last thing is to buy meat.
The weather is still cold now, and Shen Qianning needs meat for a long time, so she discussed with the meat stall owner to send [-] kilograms of meat to Xingfu Village every other day before the weather gets hot.
As for the pork bones, the butcher stall owner happily gave them away.
Shen Qianning was not polite either. Pork bones in this era were not worth much, so there was no need to be too polite for something worth just a few pennies.
As for the salt, Shen Qianning was actually reluctant to spend the wasted money to buy it outside.
But in this era, we eat coarse salt.
If she took out the fine white salt from the space, she would definitely be suspected.
In the end, I had no choice but to buy some seasonings.
After buying all kinds of things, a whole carriage was loaded.
The back hall of the county government.
Shen Qianning was talking to Magistrate Meng.
"I want to change Mencun into Xingfu Village. The government needs to re-register, right?"
Magistrate Meng nodded and said: "I know the name, I will help you with the rest. I heard you said before what kind of potatoes you want to grow, and the yield is also very high. I wrote a memorial to the emperor, and the emperor said, If the output is really high, we will promote it next year!”
Then it will be credit again.
Shen Qianning thought of the various hybrid rice species in space that were cultivated by the God of Agriculture.
I feel very proud.
"There is also rice. Didn't I give you some before? Have you distributed the grain seeds?"
Most of them were originally sold to Chen Zhongqiu.
Chen Zhongqiu also sold it.
Later, Magistrate Meng heard about this.
Take the initiative to find her to go some.
Magistrate Meng shook his head: "We won't distribute it this year. I plan to wait until next year. This year I will plant these grains in my land and cultivate more grains."
Shen Qianning thinks this is fine.
"If the rice you grow this year still yields a high yield, I will sell all the rice I grow to the court. You can keep all the taxes I paid you before!"
She didn't believe that Magistrate Meng didn't know the value of the millet.
Magistrate Meng immediately said: "I keep them all! Although I got a lot of grain seeds from you, I still can't bear to hand over the previous taxes. I paid over the grain I bought again."
Shen Qianning paid a lot of taxes: "Can you finish sowing so much?"
She almost didn't think about taxes just now.
Magistrate Meng was very serious: "I can finish the planting! If I can't finish it, I will arrange for one or two villages to plant it separately."
Shen Qianning mainly talked about the name change of the village.
Now that it was done, Shen Qianning left in a hurry.
She returned to Happy Village.
Everyone disliked the previous village for being too unfriendly.
Therefore, Qinglin specially selected a piece of land near the entrance of the village and built several temporary sheds here, and the stove was also made temporarily.
Everyone had just had lunch and was taking a rest.
Shen Qianning drove the carriage back, and everyone swarmed over to help move things.
Shen Qianning bought better coarse grains.
Although it is not as expensive as rice, it is much better than what everyone usually eats.
It is good to steam the steamed buns after grinding them into powder.
Shen Qianning first handed a bag of sugar to Mrs. Shi and said, "Put some sugar in this bag when steaming the steamed buns."
You need to supplement sugar while working.
These sugars are yellow rock sugar and brown sugar taken out in space.
The colors look more in keeping with the era.
Fine white sugar and rock sugar, which she only dared to secretly feed to her three children.
Everything was moved.
Shen Qianning said: "To keep these things here, we still need someone to keep watch overnight. We need to find two brave men and pay for the work."
There were many people Qinglin hired from other villages to work around.
After hearing what Shen Qianning said, he rushed to stand up.
One of the middle-aged men said: "We don't need to pay wages. We didn't plan to go home."
Their home is quite far from here.
It takes an hour to walk home.
Going back and forth will take up to two hours every day.
After confirming that they wanted to work here, they had already made the decision to live here at night.
This way you can get some more rest.
Moreover, they even had dinner when they stayed here.
You can eat the leftover vegetables and steamed buns at noon.
If there are no leftovers, they cook some themselves.
Shen Qianning will not treat anyone who works with her badly.
He said with a smile: "I accept your wishes, but I still have to give you what should be given. How many of you want to stay here and sleep?"
The middle-aged man immediately said: "A total of twelve people have come to our village. They are the main labor force in our village. The twelve of us discussed it and stayed here to sleep at night. After the work is completed in the afternoon, we will build a shack."
Everyone dislikes the bad luck in the village.
It is still a long way from the village, plus it is located near the entrance of the village.
So we decided to build some shacks here.
People from the other two villages have to go back.
Qinglin explained: "Their home is a little far away. When the work is finished in the afternoon, I will help them build a shack and their family will send quilts."
Shen Qianning thought about it carefully and said, "Okay, from now on I will take care of breakfast and dinner for the twelve of you. How about I give you two more cents every night?"
