Little Su Xiaoer considered the possibility that his baby teeth might die again at any time, and took a desperate look at the crispy chicken ribs, but in the end he did not challenge the limit of his teeth.
However, Su Xueyan, who was equally curious, made such an attempt on her brother's behalf.
However, in order to prevent her from making too much and having no one to eat it, Su Qingluan only tore off a small half of a wrap and gave the little girl a small piece of chicken ribs for her to try. It was up to her whether to dip it in sauce or wrap it in the wrap.
As expected, the originally crispy ribs became tough due to the moisture from the bread and jam. Although the taste was still good, the flavor was immediately reduced due to the loss of its crispy texture.
The little girl looked around aggrievedly. Finally, Su Guangfu patted his daughter's head gently and said, "Daddy will eat it for you this time. You have to eat it yourself next time!"
The little girl nodded, watching Su Guangfu "clean up the mess" for her, and then decisively discarded the chicken ribs and switched to the crispy fried chicken which was more juicy.
Su Qingluan pointed at the plate of chicken ribs that were obviously disappearing at a slower rate than the chicken. "There's basically no meat on the ribs, and I fried them over a high heat on purpose so they won't spoil easily. If you can't finish them right away, just put them in a well-ventilated place and eat them slowly as a snack."
After saying that, he turned around and looked at the place in his brother's mouth where there was a missing tooth, and teased, "It just so happens that your brother is changing his teeth, you can use this as a teething stick." Of course, Su Xuanhe didn't know the specific meaning of "teething stick", otherwise this kid would probably get angry again.
The aroma of fried chicken is really too overwhelming, and the greasiness of the fried chicken is neutralized by the wraps dipped in jam and served with various shredded vegetables, which actually whets everyone's appetite and makes them eat more.
Just then, there was a noise coming from the gate of the courtyard.
The sun hasn't completely set yet.
Moreover, the villagers and neighbors of Huaxi Village often visit each other and chat after a busy day, so usually the door is not locked and is left open unless everyone goes to bed or everyone in the house is out.
Su Qingluan turned her head and looked towards the door. There were several groups of people, nearly a dozen in total, basically all young and middle-aged men. Although they were of different heights, weights and bodies, they were all holding various tools for work.
There are hoes, hammers, sickles, bows and crossbows, fishing nets, etc. In short, there are all kinds of things.
Seeing so many unfamiliar people coming all of a sudden, and many of them were big and strong men, Su Xueyan hid behind Yang in fear.
Su Xuanhe subconsciously closed his mouth, even pursing it tightly.
Seeing this, Su Qingluan waved her hand, picked up one of the non-spicy crispy fried chicken and the plate, handed it to her brother, and asked him to take his sister in to eat, then turned around to look at the group of people who had come.
Originally, Su Qingluan subconsciously thought that these people came to "apply for the job" after seeing the job announcement, but when she saw the tools in their hands, she was not so sure - after all, repairing a house does not require fishing nets, crossbows or the like, right?
Su Guangfu put down the chicken ribs in his hand, patted the oil residue on his hands, walked over and asked what was going on.
The men gradually came closer, and some of them were very loud. Su Qingluan pricked up her ears and listened to the general situation.
It turned out that although it rained a lot in the past few days, they only saw the recruitment notice posted by Su Qingluan today, but part of the notice was damaged. Although they knew that the Su family was looking for helpers, they didn't know what it was for, so they simply came with one or two people from all walks of life, hoping to try their luck.
After all, unlike other families who only provided food and wine, the Su family was particularly generous and had extra money to give.
Su Qingluan leaned close to Yang's ear and whispered, "Although we said in the recruitment notice that we would give some money as additional compensation, we didn't specify how much. How come so many people came all of a sudden?"
You should know that the entire Huaxi Village has only dozens of households and a hundred people. Excluding the young and weak, the elderly, the overly busy, and the housewives, after screening through various conditions, there are only 20 to 30 people who can serve as "helpers".
This time, there are about ten of them, which is almost one-third of the quantity.
Yang smiled and scratched her eldest daughter's cheek. "Did you forget, Daya, that our farmland is now being managed by someone else?"
Su Qingluan was confused: "I haven't forgotten this."
Because they had to pay money, and considering that the other party's family was not wealthy, the Su family paid the helpers on a ten-day basis, on the 6th, 16th and 26th of each month, regardless of who they were.
Yang nodded. "With this example before us, everyone who knows we're hiring workers will naturally rush over."
Su Qingluan had no specific idea of the labor price in this era, so she just asked, "How much does our family pay?"
Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's not a particularly large sum, but it's quite generous. Moreover, the money was paid on time without any delay."
Su Qingluan nodded: So that's how it is, those people who helped with farming before have become "living advertisements".
After listening to another sentence or two, Su Qingluan became a little confused: The recruitment notice clearly stated how many people were needed and what skills each person needed to have, so why did they say they didn't know?
Su Guangfu was also puzzled, so he asked as well.
"Hey, we saw the notice on your house, only half of it is left!"
"I guess it was windy and rainy a few nights ago. If your notice wasn't stuck firmly, wouldn't it have fallen off?"
"Brother Su, please write another one!"
A few people came to help and talked at once.
Su Qingluan heard this and said to her father, "Dad, I'll go write another one!" Then she lifted the curtain and went into the house.
Although Su Qingluan has been in Huaxi Village for more than two months, she has been following her parents to set up stalls in the town most of the time, so she rarely moves around in the village.
This time, many villagers saw her for the first time.
We all live in the same village, and there is nothing new happening around here. But suddenly, an unfamiliar person appears, and everyone is very curious to know who he is.
After Su Guangfu explained Su Qingluan's life experience, everyone sighed that although their daughter had been separated for many years, it was good to have her back.
Su Qingluan naturally didn't know the conversation about herself outside the door. She was now spreading out a new piece of rice paper and rewriting the requirements from the previous recruitment.
After rewriting a recruitment notice, when Su Qingluan walked out of the room again, Su Guangfu had already taken the group of people to check the roof of the house and other damaged areas, as well as the kitchen that Su Qingluan was very concerned about.
Su Qingluan turned around, carefully folded the newly written notice, and rushed to the place where the notices were posted at the village entrance.
