Chapter 168 Do You Want to Work Together?
Lu Miao shook his head and asked, "Can we buy it here?"
Fu Jingyou thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
The second brother of the He family works in the coal factory in town.
Fu Jingyou briefly introduced the work of his two older brothers.
Lu Miao thought about it seriously, nodded and asked:
"Is Second Brother easy to talk to? If so, can we go back and use our connections to get some coal?"
Lu Miao thought about it, put his lips on Fu Jingyou's arm, and said seriously:
"I've thought about it. Coal has many benefits. It can be used to burn in stoves, and after burning, it can be recycled. Isn't the mountainous land behind us prone to compaction? The coal residue can be used."
Fu Jingyou didn't think deeply about the principle, but since Lu Miao said she wanted it and she said she could do it, he believed her.
"Then let's see in a couple of days what's at home? Prepare something for me while I go to town."
Lu Miao nodded. "There are still a lot of nuts at home. Doesn't he have children? Bring some over for the kids. Go early. If you can grab some meat, buy some and bring it over too."
In fact, it is a matter of mutual favor and benefit, but Lu Miao feels that since he is asking for help from others, he should have the right attitude.
If the money is used effectively, people will be more eager to help, and it will not be difficult to ask for help again in the future.
Fu Jingyou nodded in agreement one by one.
"Is the food I brought today enough? I'm sure we can't finish all this soup..."
Lu Miao asked Fu Jingyou, thought for a moment and then said:
"Tomorrow morning, get up and heat up some soup for yourself. Boil two eggs in it, and take the steamed bread and eggs with you when you go out."
Fu Jingyou shook his head: "Just bring the steamed bread. It tastes so good, people always say so."
Lu Miao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Why do you care what others say? If you're afraid of being criticized, why don't you just go eat somewhere else?"
Stone mining is not an easy job and it involves certain risks, okay?
Eat something solid to fill your stomach, so you have the strength to work, and if something happens, you'll have the energy to run...
Thinking that there were still a dozen eggs at home, Lu Miao said:
"Cook three and bring one for me tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Fu Jingyou saw her making plans with a stern face, and he smiled helplessly and shook his head.
The next day, Fu Jingyou went out to work. Lu Miao dug a shallow pit about ten centimeters deep under the jujube tree in front of the door and buried the internal organs left from the turtle he killed the day before.
When winter comes, the jujube tree will enter a dormant period. While the roots are not completely dormant, feed it some "meat" so that it can bear more and better jujubes next year.
It’s a pity that there are too few turtle organs in his hand, so he can only take care of one. Otherwise, Lu Miao would like to give the other two jujube trees a snack as well.
I hadn't thought about composting before.
If she could think of it, she would definitely not let Fu Jingyou throw away the turtle viscera, crab shells, egg shells and the like.
Apart from anything else, it would be a good idea to dig a deep hole in the backyard vegetable garden and bury it in the soil, allowing it to slowly ferment and fertilize the soil.
After finishing some chores at home, Lu Miao went to the team carrying a small basket.
There were not many eggs left at home, so she took the one dollar that the Red W soldiers in town had received as compensation for door panels and exchanged it with the members of the team for some more eggs.
Eggs cost four cents each, and one dollar could buy twenty-five.
Lu Miao went to the He family with the eggs, and Chen Guifen came out from the main hall:
"I was just thinking of coming over to look for you!"
"Aunt, did uncle say something?"
Lu Miao hurried into the house.
She went to the kitchen first and put ten eggs in the gourd ladle on the kitchen table before coming out to chat with Chen Guifen in detail.
"Aunt, what did uncle say?"
"Your uncle has been busy lately and doesn't have much energy to take care of these things. He said if you're willing to do it, then go ahead and do it. It'll count as two work points a day..."
Chen Guifen is actually very optimistic about composting, and the very attentive He Hongjin also said so last night.
It’s just that the work of quarrying stones during the day was too hard, and He Hongjin was exhausted. He listened with only one ear and not the other, and started snoring after just a few words.
"If you do a good job later, you will be given an extra reward."
This is actually just like an empty promise.
Even a child can get two work points for cutting grass for pigs, let alone adults?
Chen Guifen was worried that Lu Miao would be dissatisfied with this statement.
So when she spoke, she paid close attention to Lu Miao's expression.
Lu Miao frowned and pondered for a while, then nodded seriously:
"Okay, Auntie. I'll go back and take a look and figure out how to do it."
"Ah? Ah?"
Chen Guifen opened her mouth, looking confused.
Chen Guifen thought that based on Lu Miao's temper, she would definitely feel that He Hongjin didn't take her affairs seriously, so she would definitely make a fuss.
Who would have thought that Lu Miao would accept it so calmly?
Chen Guifen didn't know whether Lu Miao really accepted it or not, so she followed him a few steps to the door and said:
"Miao girl, if you have any ideas, tell your aunt and I will tell you... Don't keep them to yourself."
"I understand, Auntie. I'm going home!"
Chen Guifen couldn't imagine Lu Miao's plan.
Two work points is very little, but isn’t there the sentence that follows?
If you do a good job, there will be extra rewards.
Instead of offering a high reward at the beginning, Lu Miao is more optimistic about the current situation.
Those who are willing to follow and work together are definitely those who can work steadily.
Those who complain about having too few work points and think this and that are not acceptable are probably mostly taking advantage of the situation or being disobedient.
This method can just eliminate this kind of people.
This can greatly avoid the situation where you not only fail to do the overall work well but also get pissed off by others.
Geng Xiaoyun and the others were twisting straw ropes in the team's west threshing ground. Lu Miao was afraid of making holes in the eggs while carrying them, so he sent the eggs back first, and then came back to the west threshing ground from home.
Lu Miao first communicated with Geng Xiaoyun and the others, explained the reward and punishment system for composting, and asked them if they were willing to join in.
Gu Ying and Yang Xiaojing were hesitant.
Geng Xiaoyun and Ren Bingxin always went to the Fu family, and everyone at the educated youth site knew about it.
But this was the first time that Gu Ying and Yang Xiaojing heard about composting.
Two work points are really too little. If you work hard and twist straw ropes in the team, you can earn eight to ten work points a day.
What about the extra rewards? There is no guarantee at all.
While the two of them were hesitating and unable to make a decision, Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun had already spoken out:
"We'll follow you and it will definitely work."
After that, Ren Bingxin and Geng Xiaoyun turned around and said to Gu Ying and the others:
"I think it's a good idea. I've seen the composting method used by Kitty, and it really does make fertile soil."
"Our agricultural yields are directly linked to the fertility of the soil. If we achieve results, are we still worried about not getting extra rewards?"
Lu Miao nodded, that's what I meant.
Only if you dare to reach out can you get more.
If you only focus on the few melons and dates in front of you, all you will get is the few melons and dates in front of you.
Geng Xiaoyun is good at farm work and knows more about the land than others. Gu Ying can trust her words.
Gu Ying thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, count me in!"
