Chapter 114: Uncle Li Zheng, do you have anything to say?
The konjac field will continue to expand in the future, and it will definitely need someone to manage it. Xu Zhichun considered deciding between the father and son, but in fact he preferred Yang Xiaoan.
Yang Xiaoan, due to family reasons, has always been shy and unsociable, but he is a down-to-earth person. Xu Zhichun has been secretly observing him for some time and has found him to be meticulous and methodical. With more experience, he will surely be useful in the future, barring any unexpected circumstances.
Uncle Yang Ming is also a down-to-earth person, so it's most appropriate to entrust this matter to them.
Xu Zhichun expected them to agree, so he smiled and said, "How about we go to the village head's house right now and settle this matter?"
"Okay, that's best! That's best!"
Xu Zhichun called Liang Mingxuan along, locked the door, and the four of them went to Liang Lizheng's house.
After hearing what Xu Zhichun said, Liang Lizheng was happy to be the middleman. He nodded repeatedly with a smile: "Good, very good, very good! Since Zhichun is willing to hire you, it means he trusts you. If you work hard, you will have a stable income in the future. Very good, very good, haha!"
Uncle Yang Ming nodded: "Yes, yes, we will definitely do our best."
Yang Xiaoan also nodded, solemnly and gratefully.
Xu Zhichun then detailed the various ways in which extra money could be paid, starting at a minimum of thirty wen, with no upper limit. For example, if someone needed to do work, they could earn thirty wen per person for just one day of oversight. They didn't have to do the work themselves, just supervise the others.
Uncle Yang Ming and Yang Xiaoan were both shocked when they heard this.
Uncle Yang Ming said in embarrassment: "Ah, this - what if others don't want to listen, then, then what should I do?"
Xu Zhichun smiled and said, "You guys are in charge of them. If anyone dares to disobey, you won't hire them."
Uncle Yang Ming uttered an "Ah!" and nodded hesitantly, still feeling a little uneasy. He had lived an honest and dutiful life, never managing others. He knew full well that no one looked down on him, considering him useless and worthless. Even his wife had run away with someone else out of disdain for him, so what use was he left?
He is really afraid of managing people, and he can't bring himself to criticize anyone who disobeys him.
Yang Xiaoan was a little anxious. He had earned a lot of money during this period and his energy and spirit had gradually increased a lot. Although he was still so silent, a flame of unwillingness was secretly burning in his heart.
He wanted to live a good life and no longer see contempt in the eyes of others.
There are not many opportunities for the father and son to change the past and live a good life. If they miss this opportunity, they may never have it again.
I have clearly seen hope, and I can get it if I just reach out and try hard.
"Dad," Yang Xiaoan finally mustered up the courage and whispered, "If anyone slacks off, the others working with us won't agree. This isn't a difficult thing to say."
So, don't worry about offending anyone.
Xu Zhichun secretly praised her in her heart, as expected, she was not wrong about the person.
"Xiao An is right. Besides, I will carefully select the people I hire. I will not hire those who are cunning, lazy and have hidden secrets."
Uncle Yang Ming breathed a sigh of relief, his smile becoming more sincere. "Ah, yes, yes, that's right, that's right."
Xu Zhichun continued to talk about the other items one by one. In the end, both father and son felt a little dizzy. It turned out that pie really could fall from the sky and hit them on the head, really.
According to Xu Zhichun's calculations, how much money would they earn in a year? They couldn't calculate it.
Uncle Yang Ming, so excited that he felt like he was brimming with energy and couldn't wait to run around the konjac field three times, couldn't help but ask, "Zhichun, do you want to plant some more konjac fields? We can take care of dozens or even hundreds of acres more, and we don't charge any processing fees."
Liang Lizheng couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are quite honest. Just take good care of the current situation. With experience, you won't be in a rush even if Zhichun increases in number in the future."
Uncle Yang Ming nodded quickly: "That's right, that's right."
Liang Mingxuan wrote the deed, and Liang Lizheng read it to Yang Mingshu, and both parties signed and sealed it.
As he left with the deed, Uncle Yang Ming's steps were erratic. Yang Xiaoan's eyes were bright, his face full of suppressed joy, and he followed behind his father as if he were embarking on a smooth road.
Liang Lizheng kept Xu Zhichun and Liang Mingxuan to talk.
He was about to say something, but smiled helplessly and stopped talking.
Xu Zhichun is strange.
The village headman is indeed the most famous figure in Liangjia Village. Whenever something happens, he is decisive and ruthless, and no one disrespects him or disrespects him.
This expression on his face was even stranger than the look of surprise on the face of his own steady and precocious child.
"Mr. Li Zheng, do you have anything to say?"
"Hey! I really don't know how to put this into words."
I don't know how to put it, but I have to say it eventually. After all, this is no small matter.
"This morning, someone came to the Zeng family. It was a housekeeper sent by Madam Zeng. The housekeeper was very rude. She said Xiaoyan had stolen the Zeng family's recipes for gray tofu, gray bean shreds, and braised pork. She told us in the Liang family not to be ungrateful and not to be greedy for things that are not ours. She told us to hand them over immediately."
Liang Lizheng laughed sarcastically, "I was wondering, when did that recipe become Xiaoyan's? Isn't it yours? The Zeng family's nanny doesn't believe it at all. She hinted that if the recipe is not returned to them, they are disregarding their family relationship and they will report it to the police. This is really - haha!"
Liang Lizheng told Xu Zhichun everything.
They naturally didn't know the cause; it was all Fang Zhengduan's fault. Fang Zhengduan angrily complained to his sister, insisting that Zeng Xiaoyan was a traitor, deliberately lying about the prescription after receiving it and claiming it belonged to someone else. She denied it and refused to give it to him even when he personally asked, and she also became close to the Lotus Restaurant, clearly trying to disgust her own family.
Mrs. Zeng was furious and cursed the man as a "traitor". She then sent Nanny Fang to the Liang family to ask for the prescription.
She didn't care how Zeng Xiaoyan got the recipe, or whether she got it before or after getting married. Since it was a recipe for business, it should belong to the Zeng family.
What use is it for the Liang family, a bunch of village men and women, to ask for the prescription? Is that something they have?
If she was a filial daughter, she would have handed it over obediently without the Zeng family asking.
This unfilial daughter!
When Nanny Fang came, Li Zheng Liang was not at home.
When Aunt Liang saw the housekeeper who was accompanying her mother-in-law coming, she was startled, thinking something had happened. She hurriedly and warmly invited the nanny into the house and asked her daughter-in-law to boil water and make tea.
Aunt Liang felt embarrassed and felt that the hospitality was not good enough. Aunt Fang couldn't wait to make tea. While she was boiling water, she started to criticize her in an arrogant and condescending manner.
"The recipes for the gray tofu, gray bean shreds, and braised pork originally belonged to our Zeng family. Third Miss was always very clever and courageous when she was at home. There was nothing she wouldn't dare do. But no one expected her to be so bold as to steal the family recipe! Now the whole city is buzzing with rumors. Madam has sent this old servant here specifically to bring back the recipe. Please ask your mother-in-law to take it and give it to me. I'll report back and clear things up for Third Miss and put this storm to rest. Otherwise, if Third Miss carries the reputation of a thief and is accused of stealing from her own family to support her husband's family, I'm afraid it will also affect your reputation."
