If you want to open a stew restaurant, you can sell caged chickens in the restaurant and make a lot more money.
There are also potatoes collected from the mountains, which are watered with spiritual spring water. They taste different from ordinary potatoes and are also kept for use in restaurants. None of them are sold.
In order to facilitate storage, Geng Feng took Geng Tian and Geng Di to dig a very deep vegetable cellar.
The potatoes were hung outside to dry for a few days to remove the moisture and then put into the vegetable cellar.
As October is almost over, the cabbages in the fields need to be cut and the radishes need to be dug up.
These tasks must be completed within a few days, otherwise the crops will freeze to the ground, which means their crops will be in vain.
With such a large piece of land, the few people in the family cannot handle it, so they have to hire workers.
Before, Cuizhi and Suqin were at Qin Nian's place, helping pick strawberries and pasting window paper on the wooden lattices of the greenhouse.
After the paste is applied, coat all over with oil to make it stronger.
The two of them earned some money and were able to buy a lot of potatoes. Together with the relief food and the cabbage and radishes grown in their own fields, the family had no problem surviving.
The two of them have informed Qin Nian that whenever they need to hire someone, they must look for them first, no matter what the job is.
Because he had made arrangements in advance, when it was time to chop cabbages, Qin Nian hired Cuizhi and Suqin. They did their job diligently, so Qin Nian felt at ease.
Sun Dalei also came and asked Qin Nian if there was any work he could do.
"Xiao Nian, I have a lot of strength. I am not afraid of any hard work and I can do it."
Qin Nian thought that after the stew restaurant opened, a lot of firewood would be needed, as well as greenhouses for growing strawberries and vegetables, all of which would require firewood, a lot of firewood.
Even if Geng Zhenhai and Geng Zhenjiang worked themselves to death, they still couldn't cut enough wood for the winter.
If we have to buy something at that time, we might as well hire the villagers. It is worse than buying it, and they can also earn some income.
Qin Nian smiled and said, "I need a lot of firewood, and Uncle Geng goes up the mountain to chop it every day.
If you don't mind the fatigue, you can go up the mountain with Uncle Geng and the others, and the wages will be calculated by the day."
Sun Dalei was happy: "Sister Xiao Nian, don't worry, my strength is really suitable for chopping wood.
I am not afraid of getting tired, and I will not fool anyone, just wait and see."
Sun Dalei really did what he said. Every day he went up the mountain and started chopping with an axe.
When it was time to rest, Geng Zhenhai called him, but he just smiled foolishly and refused to rest.
The village head also came, as well as a young man who followed Geng Zhenhai and Geng Zhenjiang up the mountain to chop firewood every day.
That day, around noon, Dong Biao's wife Li Erhui and her sister-in-law came.
Ever since they stole Qin Nian’s lard and had their silver taken away by Qin Nian, the Dong family has not had a good time.
The only relief food was cornmeal, and six pounds per person was not enough to fill their stomachs.
Mrs. Dong saw that Suqin and Cuizhi left the village early every morning and came back in the evening.
After stopping the two of them and asking around, they found out that she was working for Qin Nian. Mrs. Dong began to wonder why her two daughters-in-law were all at home.
It would be better to let them go to Qin Nian's house to work and earn money to buy some rice.
Having made up her mind, Mrs. Dong called her two daughters-in-law over and told them about her plan to send them to work.
Dong Hu objected: "Mom, our family is a well-known wealthy family in the village. When have we ever lacked food?
If we ask the sisters-in-law to work now, won’t they be laughed at to death by the villagers? "
Dong Biao also objected: "Qin Nian is a bad girl. If they work for her, won't they be ordered around by her?
It’s too cheap.”
Dong Biao did not object: "I agree to let them go. Qin Nian's business is so big and they have a small family. There will definitely be times when they can't see him.
As long as there is a chance, just take action, take whatever is convenient, if you don't take it, it will be a waste, if you take it, it will be a waste, you bastard is just pretending."
Like Dong Biao, Dong Feng believed that going there would not only make money, but would also make it convenient to "get" things.
Qin Nian has a large family and is young, so he can't keep an eye on the women in his family.
The Dong brothers and sisters, two disagreed and two agreed, plus Mrs. Dong agreed, so three votes won.
The next day, the sister-in-law Xiren came to Qin Nian.
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Mrs. Li went out. When she saw it was Li Erhui, her face became alert.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Erhui forced a smile: "Auntie Li, where is Xiao Nian? We have something to ask Xiao Nian."
Li Erhui thought that Qin Nian was young and should be easy to talk to. Unlike Li Pozi, who was very smart and not easy to talk to.
"Xiao Nian is working in the shed. I can make the decisions on anything she can decide.
I can make decisions on things that she can't decide, just tell me."
Mrs. Li blocked the door and had no intention of letting them in.
Li Erhui had no choice but to tell the truth: "Auntie Li, a few months ago, my family lost money and life became difficult.
My mother-in-law said that we sisters-in-law should also learn from Suqin and Cuizhi and come to work here with Xiaonian.
Make a little money to buy some food."
Mrs. Li shook her head decisively: "We don't need anyone at home right now, you can go ask other families."
Dong Hu's wife stepped forward and said with an apologetic smile: "Hey, in our Dawa Village, no one else hires workers except you.
Aunt Li, there were some misunderstandings between our two families before. Please forgive us and let us work in your house.
Earn some change and buy shoes and socks for the children."
Mrs. Li sneered: "It took me a long time to recognize you. Aren't you the wife of Dong Hu who steams buns?
You insist that you have been to my house and seen the clay pot where I knead dough. You are so good at lying with your eyes open that my family cannot afford to hire you.
You guys, should you go find work somewhere else or go home? I, Mrs. Li, don’t care.
But here, I am the boss and I don’t need you to help me. Go away.”
Li Erhui knew that she had no way to do anything, so she started to change her expression: "Hey, Grandma Li, look at what you are capable of, even the tone of your speech has changed.
Don't be arrogant, what is there to be arrogant about? You never know when the Black and White Impermanence will come out and drag you to hell.
We sisters-in-law are all younger than you and we could all have seen the moment you farted.
When the time comes, even if we have to borrow money, we will buy a few firecrackers to celebrate."
After hearing these words, instead of being angered, Mrs. Li laughed for a while.
"Li Erhui, from what you said, I am more certain that it is the right decision not to let you work in my house.
As for who between you and me will be taken to hell first by the Black and White Impermanence, it’s really hard to say.
As the old saying goes, there is no age difference on the road to the underworld. "
"Grandma, what are you doing?"
Qin Nian came out of the greenhouse and said, "It's very cold today. Don't stand in the cold wind. It's terrible if you catch a cold."
Dong Bao's wife reacted quickly and asked loudly: "Xiao Nian, are you still short of people here?
We, the sisters-in-law, would like to find some work for you."
When Qin Nian saw that it was them, he had the same reaction as Mrs. Li: "We are not short of people. If you want to work, go to the county and ask."
The Dong family's western daughter-in-law then left cursing.
