hidden old spring

Chapter 38

Su Changan briefly talked about his plans with Yindan. Yindan was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to understand.

"Master, do you want to put the dung bin at Chen's house?"

Su Changan pursed her lips. She also felt that this seemed a bit bullying, but she really couldn't accept this thing being placed in her yard.

So she nodded, and just as she was about to say something, Yindan said.

"That's okay. I'll help Master." Yindan saw Su Changan's embarrassment, but he didn't think it was an embarrassment.

Isn't it just to put the excrement box in the Chen family? His master also said that he would hire his family to "shovel". The master is willing to pay for this job, and it doesn't require much effort. The Chen family's children can do it, so Who would turn down a good job?

Su Changan breathed a sigh of relief after Yindan patted his chest and assured him, and then quickly explained his conditions.

"We are in the business of eating. I hope they can avoid our activities when shoveling poop. I am willing to pay 50 taels of silver as a resettlement fee to install the excrement bins. After that, I will pay [-] taels of silver a day for them to clean up the excrement. I will pay for the disposal of the excrement. Come out elsewhere."

There is a charge for dumping the filth in the bucket in the city, and of course the Chen family cannot pay this money.

But Yindan said.

"Master, don't worry. You have produced a lot of feces, and there are people willing to help carry it home. You can just leave it to the Chen family to deal with it. The Chen family will thank you."

The self-employed in the city need to pay the people who pour tuberose every day because they pay less every day. If they pay more every day, the supply and demand relationship will be reversed.

After all, those who collect night fragrance do not just earn this penny. They collect a sum of money from the residents, and then sell the collected night fragrance to farmers outside the city to make manure, and they can collect another sum of money.

Su Changan didn't understand the twists and turns here yet, but she was someone who could listen to advice, so after thinking about it, she left the matter to Yin Dan.

Yindan was also very efficient in doing things, so Su Changan told him his thoughts. He let Tongdan grind his feet and talked to the Chen family about it while holding on to the wall.

Uncle Chen and Chen Liu originally got up early and took a pole to go out, but they were stopped by the second boy of the Li family who was clinging to the wall.

At first, Chen Liu thought Yin Dan was just saying hello to him, so he kept walking out and greeted Yin Dan with a smile as he walked.

However, Yindan's second sentence made him stop.

"Uncle! I have a business, do you want to do it? My master is willing to pay five taels of silver!"

"Do it!" Chen Liu responded subconsciously, and then Chen Liucai became confused. "What kind of work gives you five taels of silver?" Also, why does your kid have a master?

Chen Liu goes out early every day and comes home late every day. He knows that the owner of the yard next door has changed. His mother said that the owner of the yard next door has been replaced by a little girl who knows how to make tofu. The tofu is sold cheaply and is big. Neighbors say that the little girl is old. I don't know how to do business.

Chen Liu didn't take it seriously.

The burden of life made him breathless. He had lost all vitality in his early twenties. When facing his family, he even seemed a little numb.

Hearing that there were five taels of silver, he was not in a hurry to go out. He came to the wall and looked up at the silver egg, with hope in his eyes.

Yindan didn't hide anything. He stood on the wall and told Chen Liu about Su Changan's plan.

Chen Liu listened carefully. After Yin Dan finished speaking, Chen Liu put the pole on the wall and said directly.

"No problem. Where is your master? I'll take over this job. Is it true that your master said you would be given 50 yuan a day?"

"Of course, if you are worried, uncle, we can make a written statement!"

Chen Liu nodded and recognized it directly.

"Let's make a written statement. I'll go find Li Xiucai right now and let's make a written statement!" After saying that, Chen Liu wanted to rush out, but was finally stopped by Yin Dan.

"Uncle! Wait a minute and go later. At this hour, Li Xiucai hasn't gotten up yet!"

Chen Liu stopped rushing out and patted his head before he remembered this.

Yes, it's too early now, some decent people haven't gotten up yet.

However, the temptation of five taels of silver was too great. Chen Liu's eyes searched around the yard, and finally settled on the small hoe placed in a basket in the corner.

He went over and picked up the hoe, then came to the wall, raised his head and asked Yin Dan.

"Where is the hole your master said you dug?"

"Uncle, aren't you looking for work today?"

As for the five taels of silver, he won't be able to settle down until he gets this money!
"No, I have a day off today!"

"Uncle, wait a minute, I'll go talk to my master."

Without waiting for Chen Liu's answer, Yindan jumped off the wall and ran all the way to report the matter to Su Changan.

Su Changan was a little surprised that his goal was achieved so easily.

But now that the negotiation was settled, she went with Yindan.

Of course she couldn't pick up the wall. She and Yindan walked through the main entrance to Chen Liu's yard. Chen Liu didn't expect that the master Yindan mentioned was so young, and he stood there with a hoe at a loss.

Su Changan behaved generously. When she walked to Chen Liu, she first stuffed a boiled egg into Chen Liu's face (for her share, after eating one, the other couldn't eat anymore), and then said with a smile.

"Uncle Chen, I'm sorry to bother you, I want to raise some poultry, but as you know, I'm a cook, and some of the smell comes out as unpleasant, so I want to dig a manure tank for the livestock and divert it from my side. Come here, I hope someone can clean it at least once a day, I am willing to pay 50 yuan a day, as long as it is kept clean and has no smell."

Su Changan finished the request in one breath. Chen Liu took the egg and it was okay to return it. Until he heard that he had fifty coins a day, he subconsciously clenched the still warm egg in his hand and asked Su Changan with his eyes wide open. .

"Are you serious? Fifty cents a day?"

"Yes, I will also give you a resettlement fee of 5 taels."

Chen Liu stared, and the corners of his mouth slowly cracked, looking a little weird. Fortunately, this weirdness only existed for less than three seconds, and then he laughed out loud, and his appearance returned to normal.

"Okay, okay, no problem. I can get it done for you today. How do you want to dig it? Do you want to make a hole in the wall?"

As he spoke, Chen Liu was already scratching on the wall with a hoe, as if he was gesturing how to open the hole.

Su Changan raised his hand to stop him, and then began to tell him his thoughts.

To put it simply, a diagonal channel is dug under the wall, and the channel is waterproofed. After the livestock on Su Changan's side excrete dirt, the dirt can flow here along this channel. If necessary, it can be flushed with water to keep it clean.

Here, a larger pit needs to be dug, and then a manure box is placed. Finally, wooden boards are used to block the pit to prevent the smell from leaking out. They can clean it once a day when no one is around.

Chen Liu listened to the whole thing and didn't understand many parts.

If Su Changan were an adult, Chen Liu would not dare to say anything.

But Su Changan was a child, so he hesitated and asked anyway.
