Chapter 229 Seeing with your own eyes is worth a thousand words
In order to arrange the hiring as soon as possible, Butler Lin came to Chen Lizheng's house with two bags of pastries.
"Li Zheng Chen, my master wants to plant wheat on those thousand acres of fertile land and will need some strong laborers."
"So, I came to discuss hiring someone with the village head."
Upon hearing this, Chen Lizheng frowned.
Planting wheat?
Even those fertile fields are not suitable for growing wheat!
Maybe they don’t understand the situation here yet!
Thinking of this, Chen Lizheng said in a very serious tone, "Brother Lin, since you've already mentioned this, I'll just say what I want to say."
"The land here is barren. Some people have tried growing wheat before, but the harvest was terrible."
Steward Lin explained with a smile, "My master has already studied this issue."
"Let me tell you, to solve this problem, my master specially learned agricultural knowledge and even had someone find the best quality wheat seeds."
After hearing this, Chen Lizheng immediately became alert and asked, "Brother Lin, is everything you said true?"
Steward Lin seemed to be witnessing a bountiful harvest on a thousand acres of wheat fields. "Everyone will know when we harvest the crops next year."
"By the way, my master has only two requirements for hiring people: they can't be sneaky or cunning, and they have to be obedient."
"The wages are one hundred coins a day, with a free lunch. The working hours are also regulated, four hours a day."
"If our village doesn't have enough strong laborers, please consult with the headmasters of other villages."
After hearing this, Chen Lizheng was stunned for a moment.
Working four hours a day, you can earn 100 coins, and that includes lunch.
This is a blessing from heaven.
"Brother Lin, isn't this salary a bit too much..."
"My master said that farm work is very hard and one hundred coins is what they deserve." Steward Lin said with a look of pride.
My master is a beautiful and kind person, even God is on her side.
"Brother Lin, don't worry about this matter. I will finalize it before dark."
"Thank you for your hard work, Chen Lizheng."
After Butler Lin finished his work, he got up, said goodbye and went home.
This morning, Aunt Liu whispered to me that today, September 18th, is the master's birthday.
Alas, his grandfather seems to be unaware of this...
Xiao Chengjin: Humph! You little dog slave, you're looking down on your master again.
When the women in the village learned that Jiang Ruo was going to hire people to grow wheat, they gathered together to discuss the matter.
Of course, some people were discussing this matter out of curiosity.
For example: the gossipy Wang and several other women who were jealous of the Jiang Ruo family.
At this moment, Jiang Ruo was chatting with the women he was close to.
"Mrs. Xiao, is it true that you want to grow wheat?" a woman asked with a little confusion.
Jiang Ruo nodded.
"I've already learned about the land situation here, and I've found a way to deal with it."
"As long as the planting is successful, every household will plant it next year." Jiang Ruo said with a smile.
You will believe it when the wheat seedlings come out.
Hehe! Seeing is worth a thousand words.
Several women looked at Jiang Ruo, who was full of confidence, and couldn't bear to say anything unpleasant to hurt her.
When the gossipy Wang heard this, she laughed sarcastically.
She whispered to the woman beside her, "This Madam Xiao has never touched a single finger in a garden, yet she insists on farming."
"Just wait and see, there will be nothing to harvest next year..."
"Hush, let's just wait and see her make a fool of herself." After the shifty-eyed woman finished speaking, she didn't forget to roll her eyes at Jiang Ruo.
It's just that the family has some money, look how proud he is.
Jiang Ruo listened to their words and raised her eyebrows slightly.
The most effective way to cure these pink eye diseases is... to help everyone earn more money.
"Aunts and sisters-in-law, I have some work to do at home in a couple of days and I need your help." Jiang Ruo said, glancing at the chattering Wang family members who were pricking up their ears.
Upon hearing this, several women said happily, "Mrs. Xiao, if you have anything to say, just let me know."
"Yes, although we are not good at that kind of delicate work, we can do heavy work."
"I promise I'll do it for you."
Jiang Ruo chuckled and said slowly, "It's not a delicate job. I just go to the farm and cook lunch every day."
"As for wages, it's fifty coins a day."
After hearing this, several women widened their eyes.
What?
And wages.
A woman was the first to react and said, "Mrs. Xiao, we are all neighbors. We are just helping to cook a meal. We don't want any wages."
The other women also waved their hands.
"Yes, you can help me, but I can't ask for payment."
The chatterbox Wangs looked at each other, their faces filled with secret joy.
It only costs fifty cents to cook a meal, and it’s such a good thing.
We have to take on this good job quickly.
Several people immediately put on hypocritical smiles on their faces and squeezed in front of Jiang Ruo.
"Mrs. Xiao, leave this job to us!"
"How about we only charge thirty cents?" said the chatterbox Wang, with a calculating look on her face.
Jiang Ruo curled the corners of her lips when she heard that.
"I don't need so many people on my farm, and I don't want to use you either."
Who told you to laugh at me just now?
You have conjunctivitis, so let it stay red!
When the gossipy Wang family heard this, they immediately turned their faces away.
"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. We don't want to do it yet!"
"Let's go, let's go back to embroidering and earn money."
"That's right, as if no one wants to cook."
After the gossipy Wang and her group left angrily, Jiang Ruo and her group burst into laughter.
"Okay, the cooking is settled. I'll let you know when the time comes." Jiang Ruo said, turning her head to look at Xiao Chengjin who was standing at the door.
The women did not refuse any more, "Then we should thank Madam Xiao for giving us this good job."
.......
Xiao Chengjin was standing at the door, listening to Jiang Ruo's laughter, a smile flashed in his eyes.
As long as Ruoruo is happy, that's all that matters.
After Butler Lin returned from the headman's house, he secretly observed Xiao Chengjin.
He looked at the "big fool" standing outside the door and held his forehead helplessly.
Okay! It's time to remind me.
Steward Lin walked quietly behind Xiao Chengjin...
"Master, have you forgotten something important?"
Xiao Chengjin actually heard footsteps behind him.
After hearing what Butler Lin said, he pretended to be frightened and said, "Uncle Lin, you scared me to death."
"Master, are you okay? This old servant...didn't mean it." Steward Lin said pretentiously, but he was actually very happy in his heart.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so sneaky?" Xiao Chengjin said, raising his hand and stroking his chest.
Steward Lin restrained his expression and said seriously, "Master, today is September 18th. You know what I mean, right?"
Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
September 18th is Ruoruo’s birthday, how could I not know that?
Xiao Chengjin deliberately pretended to be thinking seriously and said slowly, "September 18th..."
"Let me think, what special day is this?"
Butler Lin looked at Xiao Chengjin with disgust and disappointment.
What are you thinking about?
You don't even know what day it is?
After Xiao Chengjin thought about it "seriously", he lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Lin, I suddenly remembered..."
When Butler Lin heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Tell me about it!"
"Today is Ruoruo's...birthday." After Xiao Chengjin said this, he immediately put on a smug look.
Steward Lin smiled broadly, "Hey, so you remember everything!"
"Have you prepared a birthday present for the master?"
Xiao Chengjin straightened his back and glanced at Butler Lin, "Don't worry, I'm ready."
Steward Lin caught sight of Jiang Ruo approaching from a short distance and said quickly, "Master, we servants want one more, no, two little masters."
"So, you have to work harder!" After saying this, Butler Lin quickly retreated.
Xiao Chengjin turned his head to look at Butler Lin's back and smiled.
Two little masters?
You are quite greedy.
Is this what you can have if you want it?
