Lin Xiuqin quickly walked out of the yard carrying a winnowing basket with a pile of fluffy and soft white steamed buns on it.
When everyone saw these steamed buns, their eyes suddenly lit up.
This also includes those who have eaten breakfast.
Nowadays, not every family can eat white rice and refined noodles every day. Even for breakfast, most people eat coarse rice with mixed grains.
"Everyone can come over now. Each person can take two. We'll talk later if you don't have enough."
Chen Wang said to everyone with a smile.
A group of people gathered around and lined up consciously to receive the steamed buns.
Chen Wang saw a boy of about sixteen or seventeen who received two steamed buns but did not eat them but put them in his pocket.
The boy was dark and thin, and his eyes were full of desire as he looked at the steamed buns, and it was obvious that he wanted to eat them.
"His name is Amin. His family is in financial difficulty. He probably wants to take the food back to his family."
Yang Xuewu, who was standing next to him, saw what Chen Wang was thinking and explained in a low voice.
Chen Wang nodded suddenly, walked over and took out two more steamed buns from the dustpan, stuffed them into Yang Xuewu's hand, and whispered, "Give it to him and tell him that you don't want to eat it. Let him eat until he is full so he can work."
"clear!"
Yang Xuewu nodded with a smile, took the steamed bun and went over.
Chen Wang saw the young man thanking him with gratitude on his face, and then started eating the steamed buns in big mouthfuls.
After a while, Yang Heping and Yang Xuewen also came over with a group of people.
Chen Wang and his wife went back to the kitchen, left two steamed buns for the little girl, and took out the rest.
Lin Xiuqin also cooked porridge. It had more water than rice, so it was a bit watery, but it was perfect with steamed buns.
I have a stainless steel bucket at home that I used to sell crayfish, which is perfect for storing porridge.
Chen Wang also took a pile of bowls and moved a bucket of water outside.
There were not enough bowls, so we had to take turns drinking the porridge. After finishing, we put the bowls in the bucket, washed them, and the next person could continue using them.
It may look a little unhygienic, but these days, it’s good enough to have something to eat, and no one would mind it.
After eating and drinking, everyone looked much better and many people had smiles on their faces.
"Boss, your wife is such a great cook. These steamed buns are so delicious!"
An old man praised with a smile on his face, his missing teeth showing.
"That's a must."
Chen Wang smiled with great satisfaction.
Lin Xiuqin felt a little embarrassed and glared at him with a slightly red face.
"Boss, will there be food tomorrow?"
The old man asked again with a smile.
"That's all. I said I'm only responsible for lunch. Today is the first day, so I'm going to reward everyone. My wife must be very tired from cooking for so many people!"
Chen Wang denied it bluntly.
"Old Jiang, don't be so conceited. Go ask around in the nearby villages to see if there's anyone who hires workers for this kind of treatment, with both wages and bonuses, and a free lunch."
Yang Xuewu said loudly in annoyance.
"I just asked casually. No one said anything. It's good enough that they provide lunch and pay the wages."
The old man grinned and said.
Chen Wang slowly scanned the crowd and said loudly, "It's getting late. Everyone, wait for me here, and then follow me to the fields."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Awu, help me move the seedlings onto the cart."
Chen Wang looked at Yang Xuewu standing beside him and said.
After moving all the seedlings to the yard last night, when he went to Yang's house in the next village, he specifically looked for Lao Qian at the entrance of the village and asked him to lend him the cart for another half a day.
"no problem."
Yang Xuewu nodded readily and agreed.
"Uncle Yang, Brother Wen, you can go back if you have nothing to do. Sorry for bothering you. I will treat you to a drink after these few days of work."
Chen Wang looked at Yang Heping and his son and said.
"What's the trouble? It's not a trouble."
Yang Heping smiled and shook his head.
"Awang, can we also go and work for you together?"
Yang Xuewu suddenly said something.
"ah?"
Chen Wang was stunned for a moment.
"We didn't plan to go hunting in the mountains today. Since we are here, we thought we could work in the fields. Three people can earn a few dollars a day. We also want to see and learn how to grow medicinal herbs."
Yang Xuewu explained with a smile.
"Don't worry, we are good at hunting and working in the fields. We grow the few acres of land at home every year."
Yang Heping spoke up and agreed.
Chen Wang suddenly understood, and nodded with a smile, saying, "As long as you don't think the treatment is bad, of course I will agree."
"This treatment is not bad at all. When we go hunting in the mountains, if we are unlucky, we can only catch pheasants or rabbits. We might as well work for you!"
Yang Xuewu smiled and said.
"Okay, let's hurry up!"
"Okay!"
"I'll help, too."
Yang Xuewen followed them.
After the three of them entered the yard, they quickly moved some of the seedlings onto the cart and piled it full.
Chen Wang pushed the cart and walked out of the yard with the two brothers. He said to Lin Xiuqin, "Wife, I will take people to the fields first. I will come back after everything is arranged."
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded.
"Don't let the little girl sleep. Look at how early the workers get up. She is so lazy. Let her get up and have breakfast."
Chen Wang gave an instruction.
Lin Xiuqin nodded with a smile.
Afterwards, Chen Wang pushed a cart and led a group of people to the rented fields.
He quickly counted in his mind, and including the Yang family father and son, there were a total of 25 people.
