Shen Qing also told Granny Shen that, not to mention how good the food was, at least she had to work hard. The staple food was steamed buns, with some grains mixed in at most, but not in large proportions.

People have to work hard, but if they don’t eat well, where will their strength come from?

So the lunch delivered at noon that day was: two full baskets of multi-grain steamed buns, each as big as a man's palm, and very solid, unlike those empty bubbles that disappeared with a pinch.

The dish consists of one meat and two vegetables. The meat is braised rabbit meat, with a lot of chili peppers and soft boiled soybeans.

One of the vegetarian dishes is scrambled eggs with red pepper and leeks, and the other is stir-fried dried tofu with pickles.

Fan had to make something every day, so she could cook it at home. She took it to the construction site opposite to sell it, and it was surprisingly easy to sell. Later, she directly ordered ten kilograms a day from her. The Shen family also bought it every day, and they had to continue making stinky tofu. But the first batch is almost done.

Bao Er is also a good eater. When he is at home, he can only eat half full at each meal, and he dares not eat anymore. He wants to leave the food to the elderly and children at home, so except for the days when farming is busy, he spends the rest of his time Everyone has to go out and find work just to have enough to eat.

But those black-hearted landowners and squires will almost always be treated harshly unless they meet someone who is particularly generous.

Even if you meet a generous employer, you can't guarantee that those in charge will make money from it, and they still won't have enough to eat.

When he came to work in the Shen family, he had no hope of food.

It looked like there were only a dozen acres of land, and most of it was cabbage. After a flood, the field became a lot more fertile.

The crops are growing luxuriantly, but the weeds are also getting so excited that we have to dig into the ground almost every day to weed.

It is normal to hire long-term workers to do these tasks, but hiring ten of them felt like it was too much for Bao Er.

Then they were taken to the mountains to dig tea gardens.

He had only heard people talk about growing tea, but almost no one actually grew it as a crop. He doubted whether the young girl in charge of the Shen family knew how to farm and could afford to pay their wages.

"Uncle Bao, why don't you eat? Is the food not to your liking? If you think there is something wrong, just say it and I will try my best to do whatever I can." Shen Qingjin also followed the food delivery man up the mountain to take a look. How is the progress of the tea plantation?

Bao Er sat on the ground, holding a bowl in one hand and a steamed bun in the other. His face was smelly and he looked a bit fierce, "How far do you want to dig this tea garden?"

Shen Qing: "Originally it was only one acre, but later we expanded it ourselves. I bought all this land. I plan to plant ten acres of land this year. As for the trees on the east side, of course all the trees on the east side will be cut down and they will be used around. The fence is enclosed to prevent the wild beasts in the forest from destroying it and the weeds from overrunning it.”

The growth rate of weeds and shrubs in the forest is extremely terrifying. She has no herbicides and cannot set fire, so she can only build an isolation zone.

Bao Er looked at her in shock, "Girl, we have to work on ten acres of land for at least half a month. Can you...can you afford our wages?"

Shen Qing didn't need to say anything about this, Boss Fan did it for her. "Brother Bao, don't you know who I am? How many years have we known each other? Can I cheat you? The second girl is the most reputable person. Our family must be tenants of the Shen family and contribute to the Shen family." When it comes to workmanship, despite her young age, she has the ability to turn stone into gold. Don't worry, if something goes wrong, won't she still have me?"

Bao Er smiled when he heard this, and his cautious face became a bit more honest. "I believe you, brother. I'm just asking because I'm afraid the burden on the second girl's shoulders will be too heavy."

Shen Qing said: "Uncle Bao, if you do a good job, and you understand what I mean, then I will naturally pay you the price we have agreed upon, and I will not miss you a penny. In addition, if you do a good job, I will reward you. There is no need to look for work everywhere, just work here, I will support you."

A short man next to Bao Er asked with a smile: "Girl, she looks young. I wonder what kind of business she is doing? With such a loud tone, the master of the village dare not say that he supports us."

Supporting a worker is different from hiring. It means that you are truly a servant who works for a long time and you have to be paid a monthly salary. Even if you have no work to do, you still have to pay the monthly salary.

The fat man behind the short man said: "Can you give us some pork belly? Although this rabbit meat is good, it is not a serious meat dish. I won't kill you!"

"Fat man, shut up and don't bite your nose and face!" Bao Er scolded him in a dignified voice, "It would be great if my boss can give me meat. You usually just eat wild vegetables at home to make a mush. Lao Liu, don't do it either." Just asking around, we take the wages and just do our own work. Since the boss said that there will be long-term work, as long as the wages are not in arrears, there is no protection for us to stay."

They are most afraid of their employers defaulting on arrears. Some bosses don’t want to pay even if they have money. They always feel that they will suffer a loss after paying the money, so they always have to pick and drag, and sometimes they have to run several times before they can I have to come back little by little, and sometimes I am slandered and beaten.

It was impossible to sue the government, and no one could seek justice for them.

Therefore, if they really encounter someone who is in arrears and refuses to pay their wages, in the end they have no choice but to swallow their grievances themselves, or at worst, they will never take jobs from this company again.

But now that the flood has just passed, many people are selling their sons and daughters, their fields and houses, and most of them are people who want to work hard to make money.

Shen Qing was not afraid of him, and said openly: "If you don't believe what I said, you can leave after the wages are paid. We will still settle the accounts every three days as we agreed before, but I have to see the efficiency. , I don’t want a hard worker, nor do I want a sneaky person, uncles, please don’t think I’m so fooled just because I’m young!”

At the end of her speech, she glanced at all the middle-aged men present.

Although I don't know if Bao Er underestimated her and didn't take her seriously, at least more than half of the other nine people didn't take her as a little boss seriously. Look at what the fat man said just now, even though he said it with a smile. Yes, but the deep meaning on his face was actually testing Shen Qing to see how she would respond. After all, if they could eat two meals of pork, they would definitely be happier than the Chinese New Year.

Seeing Shen Qing's eyes lingering on him, the fat man said with a silly smile: "Look what the girl said, how dare we do it? We have to work hard just to get a solid meal every day, right?"

The man named Lao Liu kept staring at Shen Qing, his eyes like hooks.

Luo Qin couldn't stand it for a long time. He stood next to Shen Qing with a pretty face, touched the short knife at his waist, and asked sternly: "What are you looking at!"

Shen Qing also slowly put away his smile and looked at Bao Er, "Uncle Bao, our family is also a well-behaved and clean farmer. After you finish work, you'd better not go to the front yard, especially this guy named Lao Liu uncle."

We finished the work last night, but the door connected to the backyard had not yet been bolted. This door has bolts on both sides, so it can be bolted on both sides.
