The table was full, but no one cared.
They put some food in bowls and took a bottle of wine. Some went to sit at the stone table and stone benches to eat and drink, while others squatted down somewhere and started to feast.
"Delicious, this stewed meat is so delicious!"
"Yes, it's really mushy. And the potatoes are also delicious. It's perfect with rice."
“The pepper fried pork is also delicious.”
"This mutton offal soup is so fresh and delicious!"
Praises from the crowd rang out one after another.
"Awang, did you do all this? Or did your wife do this?"
Yang Xuewen looked at Chen Wang and asked.
"I did."
Chen Wang replied with a smile, and added: "My wife's cooking is much better than mine. You don't have that luxury."
"Depend on!"
Yang Xuewen rolled his eyes speechlessly.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and handed the bowl of mutton soup to Chen Wang.
"You drink, I'll have some wine."
Chen Wang smiled and shook his head.
Lin Xiuqin didn't force it. She nodded with a smile and sat down next to the little girl to drink her soup.
"Come on, you've all worked hard these past few days, I'll toast you a glass, and let's go together!"
Chen Wang directly picked up the beer glass and toasted everyone.
Seeing this, the workers picked up the beer bottles or glasses placed nearby.
"I have to drink the wine the boss offers me!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
"We have good wine and good food, why bother working so hard? The host is generous, let's toast to him."
"Cheers to the boss!!"
…
"cheers!"
Chen Wang shouted with a laugh.
"cheers!!!"
Everyone responded in unison, then raised their heads to drink.
Chen Wang drank about half a bottle in one breath, let out a long sigh of enjoyment, and picked up his chopsticks to eat.
"Awang, can I recruit someone from you now?"
Chen Dazhuang came over with the bowl and asked in a low voice.
He has only completed half of the 20 acres of land he rented, and he still has half of the seedlings at home. If he leaves them like this, they will go bad, so he has to find a few more people to finish planting them.
"Sure, just tell me and see who's willing to go. You can pick a few."
Chen Wang nodded.
"Very good."
Chen Dazhuang's face lit up with joy, and he swept his eyes over the workers who were eating and drinking, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, eat while you listen to me."
Everyone looked up at him.
"Some of you may know me, but some may not. My name is Chen Dazhuang. I'm Awang's good friend. I've hunted with Awu and Awen before."
Chen Dazhuang first introduced himself and then explained the situation.
"I also rented 20 acres of land, and I have only finished half of it. It's a bit too late, so I want to find a few good hands to finish the rest of the work."
"Don't worry about the treatment. It's the same as what Awang gave us. We will also provide a meal at noon, and we will definitely make sure everyone eats well."
"Raise your hand if you are willing."
After the words were spoken, no one spoke for a while, and the silence was somewhat awkward.
The smile on Chen Dazhuang's face gradually became stiff, and his mind was full of question marks.
He had already said that the treatment was the same, so why was no one willing to do it? Was he really untrustworthy? Or were these people tired from working so hard these past few days and unwilling to take on more work?
It shouldn't be like this!
"I'm his father, I can guarantee the treatment."
Chen Jianjun followed up with a sentence.
"Since he is a friend of the Dong family, we are willing to believe him."
The toothless old man suddenly spoke up, looked at Chen Dazhuang and asked, "How many people do you need?"
Chen Dazhuang looked thoughtful.
"Brother Zhuang, why don't you let them all go to your place to work in the afternoon and finish the work in half a day. Today's wages will be counted as a full day's wages, and we'll split it in half."
Chen Wang made a suggestion.
Chen Dazhuang's eyes lit up.
In this way, there is no need to worry about the seedlings going bad.
"What do you think? If you are willing to go, my family can provide a meal in the afternoon. We will also provide wine and meat. Awang and I went to hunt wild goats together, and I have a lot of goat meat."
Chen Dazhuang looked at everyone and asked.
"Sure, I'd like to go!"
"I'm willing to go too. Let's go together. It's just right to work for another half day."
"That's better. If there are only a few people, the others will feel uncomfortable."
"That's great. I can have another good meal."
Everyone agreed, with bright smiles on their faces.
"If you have to work in the afternoon, don't drink too much. It's definitely not that I don't want to. I will take the remaining wine to you in the afternoon, and you can continue drinking then."
Chen Wang said loudly with a smile.
“That’s great.”
"I was going to drink as much as I wanted, but now I'll just have two cups."
"It's okay, I'm drinking beer, this stuff won't make me drunk."
"Boss, don't worry, it won't affect your work. Drinking a little will give you more energy to work in the afternoon."
"Yes, I don't feel tired at all after drinking."
“…”
Everyone had a great meal and enjoyed themselves to their heart's content.
Chen Wang asked his wife to go to the room to get some change and distributed the wages for the past few days to everyone one by one.
Of course, the promised bonus was not reduced.
Everyone accepted the money gratefully and said they would definitely ask them to work again next year.
Chen Wang naturally agreed.
Afterwards, Chen Dazhuang took everyone to the land he rented.
The Yang family's father and son did not go.
After working for a few days, they felt a little tired, and there were enough people.
Brothers Yang Xuewen and Yang Xuewu helped to clean up the dishes and moved the table into the house.
