27. Three yuan a day is more cost-effective than earning work points
The utility room has not been cleaned up yet, so the couple are busy with their own things.
Gu Yan'an was busy cleaning the utility room, while Jiang Shiyue was busy making braised pork with preserved vegetables.
Fortunately, Gu Yan'an didn't come to the kitchen, otherwise it would be difficult to buy things in the mall.
She recently bought all the meat and vegetables in the mall. Besides being fresh, they are also very cheap.
In fact, the method of cooking pork with preserved vegetables is very simple, but it is a bit time-consuming.
Light the fire and wash the pot, then put the meat into the pot with cold water, add the three ingredients to remove the fishy smell, and start preparing brown sugar so that the meat can be colored.
After finishing the work in the kitchen, Jiang Shiyue found some paper and pen from the room and prepared to draw the design of the rabbit farm, and then let Gu Yan'an and the others follow the design.
Otherwise she couldn't imagine what they would do to the rabbit farm.
After all, it is really difficult to evaluate the aesthetics of this era.
It is called a storage room, but in fact it is just a place where some unused things or things that people are reluctant to throw away are piled together.
But after cleaning up the room, it still looks quite big and a lot tidier.
After brushing off the dust on his body, Gu Yan'an went to the kitchen to wash his hands. He saw steam coming out of the pot. He opened the lid and found a large piece of meat cooking inside. He quickly shouted towards the room, "Yueyue, the meat is cooked."
In the 1970s, when communication was inconvenient, output depended entirely on shouting.
If it were modern times, I guess with this distance, you would have to send WeChat or make a voice call.
Jiang Shiyue put down the pen and made a trumpet shape with his hands. "It's okay, just cook it for a little longer."
Although Gu Yan'an didn't know the reason for doing this, he still obediently covered the pot and walked into the room with big strides.
I happened to see Jiang Shiyue drawing something on the table, but I didn't quite understand what she was saying, "Yueyue, what are you drawing?"
Jiang Shiyue directly handed the paper over and motioned for Gu Yan'an to look at it, "The three-dimensional design of the rabbit farm."
After saying that, he blinked his eyes and said, "How about it, do you understand it?"
Gu Yan'an took the paper and looked at it carefully for a long time. Then he scratched his head and looked at Jiang Shiyue apologetically, "I don't quite understand."
Jiang Shiyue sighed, but he could understand it.
He briefly explained it to Gu Yan'an, "Do you understand now?"
Gu Yan'an nodded and praised sincerely, "Yueyue, I find you are really amazing!"
"It's fine."
She has merely integrated some features of this era and the modern era, which is not to be considered amazing.
Gu Yan'an disagreed and thought Jiang Shiyue was being modest. He continued to praise him, making Jiang Shiyue feel embarrassed by the praise.
Jiang Shiyue put her hands over her face and said, "Alright, stop praising me. If you keep praising me, I'll go crazy."
At this time, Jiang Shiyue's face was a little red. She covered her face with her hands, which made her whole face look very small. She pouted and looked very cute.
Gu Yan'an swallowed, turned his head away, and took a deep breath, "Then if this is done, the utility room we just vacated can be used as a dining room."
Jiang Shiyue nodded, "I thought so too."
Mainly, we eat in the room, and every time there is a strong smell, it is really unbearable.
It’s not that she hadn’t thought about moving the table into the yard, but the table was a little heavy and she couldn’t move it by herself.
Every time Gu Yan'an came back, he was sweating all over, but he didn't have the heart to order him around, so the matter was left unresolved.
The two people's eyes met in the air, and there seemed to be an indescribable sticky atmosphere in the air, which made Jiang Shiyue a little at a loss.
Jiang Shiyue is not as bold during the day as she is at night. After all, she is shrouded in darkness, like a mask.
Jiang Shiyue swallowed and stood up in a panic, "I'll go see what you've done with the room."
I walked into the compartment and saw that the things were neatly arranged, but there were quite a few pieces of junk.
At least that's the case for Jiang Shiyue.
Gu Yan'an followed closely behind Jiang Shiyue. Jiang Shiyue glanced at him with the corner of his eye, pointed casually, and asked suspiciously, "Why do you keep these things?"
Gu Yan'an pursed his lips and said, "I can't bear to throw it away..."
Jiang Shiyue couldn't help rolling her eyes and complained, "But there's no point in keeping them! They're either rotten or missing limbs, and can only be used as firewood. The only use of keeping them is probably just to take up space."
Although she knew that people of this era were very frugal, this was not the way to save money.
A broken stool and a rotten wardrobe are completely unusable.
Gu Yan'an pondered for a moment after hearing this, and finally made up his mind after a long while, "Then I'll move them all to the yard and chop them up with a machete."
Jiang Shiyue nodded in satisfaction and patted Gu Yan'an on the arm, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
Glancing at the watch on his hand, it was almost time to cook, so Jiang Shiyue said, "I'll go cook," and walked into the kitchen.
Gu Yan'an originally wanted to go to the kitchen to help, but then he remembered that he had just promised Jiang Shiyue to chop up those broken things for firewood, so he grunted and moved things to the yard.
It is said that when men and women work together, work becomes less tiring.
One is busy in the kitchen, the other is busy in the yard, it's quite harmonious.
When Hu Tianyou came over after work, he could smell the aroma of braised pork from far away. It was so delicious!
Seeing that Gu Yan'an was busy chopping wood, he couldn't help but smacked his lips, "Brother, you didn't go to work today just to chop wood at home?"
Gu Yan'an said without even raising his head: "It's a good thing that you're here. I have something I want you to do."
Hu Tianyou stopped when he heard this, and looked at Gu Yan'an without blinking, waiting for his next words.
"Your sister-in-law wants to build a rabbit farm. You can help me hire a dozen workers and try to build the rabbit farm as soon as possible."
After a pause, he continued, "As for wages, it will be three dollars per person per day."
Three yuan a day is more cost-effective than earning work points.
Hu Tianyou looked at Gu Yan'an in disbelief. He felt that Gu Yan'an had gone crazy. "Brother, are you crazy? Three dollars a day for one person, more than thirty dollars a day for more than a dozen people. No matter how rich you are, you can't afford this!"
Even though Hu Tianyou was a brother who grew up together, Gu Yan'an did not reveal a single cent that Jiang Shiyue earned a hundred yuan in two days.
It’s not that I’m afraid that Hu Tianyou will have any other ideas, but the main thing is that the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.
It is said that wealth should not be shown to others, and the villagers' attitude towards him was already very evasive, so not telling anyone was also for Hu Tianyou's own good.
He just said calmly, "Your sister-in-law's family will be here soon, so get this rabbit farm up and running as soon as possible, otherwise they will have nowhere to stay when they come."
Hearing that Jiang Shiyue's family was coming, Hu Tianyou just sighed silently, "Okay, then I'll go and arrange it for you after dinner."
