"So I said we need at least four cows, and now we have to go find them. We also have to order the tools in advance, and everything costs money."
"I have some tools left over that need to be ordered as well. There's no rush, there's time. But I really need to hurry up with this cow."
"How do you calculate the wages for your farmhands? It's still 700, which means they need 7 taels of silver for this month." Zhou took the opportunity to interject.
"I've thought about it. 600 coins, lunch included, go in the morning and come back in the evening. You don't have to live there. Our treatment is good. Of course, we can't charge the same as Chunxiao, because she has fewer people."
Yan Bingfa nodded and said, "I think it's okay. The price is not lower than other places."
These have been roughly agreed upon. Chunxiao thought that deciding on the candidates was a simple task, but Dashan and Yan Bangfa were both troubled. After all, they dealt with the villagers a lot, and now there were far more than 10 people reported. It would be easy to offend people if they decided who to recruit and who not to recruit.
"Chunxiao, aren't you short of people there too?" Yan Bingfa looked at her.
"Dad, I'm in Lu Village, which is far from Zhou Village. It's too inconvenient. I've thought it through. It would be better to invite people from nearby villages. You can choose the right person. I just want to remind you that everyone working in the manor must sign the contract as before. If anyone doesn't sign, I'm sorry, we won't invite them."
"Of course."
"We're not in a rush to select people. We have time to choose. Let's first take care of the farm. Building a house will probably take a month or so, and such a large wall will require a lot of people to build. We need to do all this as soon as possible. Once it's done, we can consider the second step of hiring people. And also the issue of buying cattle."
"You guys go about your business and don't worry about the business. Let Shuwen and Shufeng deliver the meat from now on. Since they need to learn how to manage things, they can practice these things in advance. The eldest daughter-in-law and I will take care of the goods. Dahe, you are busy, but you have to make arrangements for your daughter-in-law. The two children are still young, so you can let them stay at Chunxiao's place when you are not around. It will always be more reassuring to have someone watching them."
"Okay, Mom, I got it. I'll tell her when I get home. We can braise the meat together."
"We have to take care of our farm business, and we can't neglect our family either."
It was getting late, and Chunxiao was too lazy to go back to cook. Dongsheng and the others would leave after finishing their work, so she would stay here to eat.
In the evening, Yan Qi came back and was very happy to see her. They hadn't seen each other for a while. Yan Qi started talking to her and asked her when he could tell her stories again. Chun Xiao said that he would wait until his winter vacation. The family had a lively dinner together.
