On the mountain, Fan Jin, along with Li Wu, Xu Laosan, Ling Ran, Feng Da, Feng Er, and Hong Mancang and Manku, were observing the flow of the spring water.
Feng and his three companions also carried shovels and hoes, ready to dig at any time.
"This spring water is so clear, it must be great for washing medicinal herbs!" Li Wu exclaimed, holding a handful of spring water.
Well water is even better, warm in winter and cool in summer. Except for last year when it was very cold, winters here are generally not particularly cold. Even when it is cold, it passes quickly. I heard that in the northern winter, heavy snow can block the roads, and the soil, rivers, lakes, and roads can all freeze, but the well water will not freeze. Moreover, the water drawn up still has a faint warm feeling.
They only know that the well water is icy cold in the summer and is perfect for soaking fruits and vegetables. They can't appreciate that the water drawn in winter is warm. However, it is precisely because the winters here are generally not cold and the spring water is fine that they can wash medicinal herbs without getting cold in winter.
Xu Laosan was thinking the same thing.
His wife is also a candidate for the workshop! Of course, he'll pay attention to all aspects.
Feng and the others didn't pay any attention.
Compared to what we used to do at the village, this is nothing.
The thought that Da Ni and Er Ni had also been selected to process medicinal herbs filled them with excitement.
Six hundred coins a month was something I wouldn't have dared to dream of in the past.
In the past, they could only get some money by selling 40% of their grain. This money was often not enough to buy oil, salt, cloth, and various other odds and ends. They had to cut back again and again until they were in a state of inadequacy for everything.
They never had any extra copper coins, and they would stretch every single coin in half to spend. They never imagined that they could earn 600 coins a month!
I wonder how my wife and the others are doing?
The lady said that lunch would be provided, but with more than thirty people, there probably wouldn't be enough to eat properly, and even if there were, they probably wouldn't be able to eat as much as they wanted, given the large number of people... But it's okay, we can eat at dinner.
Shui Qing, Yan Qiuxing, and the three of them were preparing a working meal in the kitchen.
They only need to be provided with lunch. Since the herbal medicine workshop is not yet completed, they work in their own yard, and their meals are naturally prepared in their own kitchen.
Once the herbal medicine shop is renovated and has a dedicated kitchen, we can move our work meals there.
The person who cooks will also change.
"Mother, have you decided who will cook?" Xing Hui lit the fire, added a few large pieces of firewood, and poked her head out from behind the stove to ask with concern.
Her mother was a good cook and used high-quality ingredients. But when they moved to a different place and there were fewer people, the food quality plummeted in every way.
In other words, everyone's cooking will be compared.
How will Mother solve the problem of choosing a candidate?
"The meals for more than 30 people can be made with just two dishes and a soup. It's not difficult to cook, and it's not tiring for two people to work together."
My idea is that, apart from Da Ni, Er Ni, and the other three who don't need to cook, the remaining thirty people can be paired up, and each round will last exactly half a month. That means cooking twice a month, and nobody will complain. What do you think?
