The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor

Chapter 65 A kind reminder

 When they arrived at Liuyang Village, the father and daughter went straight to the greenhouse.

 The weather is nice today, and all the tarpaulins in the fields have been put away. At first glance, you can see green vegetables everywhere, which is very eye-catching in a wilderness of withered vegetation. The breeze blew by, forming green waves.

Green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. have also grown to feet long. The dark green branches and leaves look very pleasant. They will bloom and bear fruit in about ten days. Tomatoes must be supported with wooden sticks, otherwise the fruits will crush the main branches. Cucumbers and loofahs must also be cut off, and wooden frames must be made to prevent the fruits from falling to the ground and rotting.

Several old farmers were carrying wooden buckets and water ladles to water the vegetables. When they saw their employer approaching, they quickly stopped what they were doing and gathered around.

 “Master, are the vegetables delivered today easy to sell?”

 Lin Laogen, who was the first to step forward, rubbed his hands uneasily and asked Mo Qingze cautiously.

Mo Qingze smiled and nodded: "Three carts of vegetables are sold out! I came here today just to ask you to prepare six more carts of vegetables and take them away early tomorrow morning."

 “Okay! Okay! That’s great! We’ll pick vegetables later.”

 Six carts of vegetables were added at once, and Lin Laogen'er was so happy that he said yes again and again, and the wrinkles on his forehead became much deeper when he smiled.

If this vegetable is easy to sell, the owner will continue to plant it, and he will always have work to do. Such a good job was better than farming, and he really couldn't bear to lose it.

Several other people came over and happened to hear Mo Qingze's words. They all smiled, as if they were selling their own vegetables.

The father and daughter could guess what they were thinking. Mo Yan took the opportunity to encourage: "Grandpas and uncles, please don't worry, as long as there are no problems with these greenhouses, our family will give you extra rewards at the end of every month! Just these vegetables I can already sell it for money, but I’m afraid that someone will get jealous and spoil the idea, so at night, I ask my grandparents to take extra care!”

After saying that, he bowed to several people and saluted.

When everyone saw this, they ducked aside in fear: "Don't worry, boss, we will all take turns guarding the ground at night and make sure not even a single vegetable leaf is stolen."

This is what they should do in the first place. If something goes wrong with these precious vegetables and there is no reward or compensation, it is not a big deal, but this good job cannot be thrown away.

Mo Yan smiled and thanked her, and gave a few more instructions. Seeing that there was nothing going on here, she let them go about their own business. Together with Mo Qingze, they went to the village to find Lin Yong to help find reliable people to sell vegetables.

The reason why Mo Yan asked Lin Yong for help was to take the opportunity to repay him. Previously, Mo Qingze was falsely accused of corruption by Bu Shiren. If Lin Yong hadn't found a way to get the owner of Zhenbao Pavilion, Wu'an Government, to come forward, the Mo family would not have known what kind of misfortune they would have suffered.

Mo Yan later wanted to give all of the 660 taels of "shock silver" given by the Wu'an government to Lin Yong, but Lin Yong refused to accept it no matter what, and did not even admit that it was his own credit.

Mo Yan had no choice but to give up. Later, when the family hired people to work, they gave priority to the Lin family as a way to repay Lin Yong.

Knowing the purpose of the father and daughter's visit, Lin Yong thought about it for a while and had a few candidates in mind, so he named them: "These people are quite smart. They should be able to sell vegetables and settle accounts. Why don't we do it tomorrow?" Let them try?"

Father and daughter thanked each other repeatedly. Lin Yong is not a big talker. He said "it should be possible", which means "it must be possible".

 The two of them were relieved that the matter was resolved so easily. They were a little worried on the way here. Tomorrow, in addition to the East Market, one will be placed in the South Market and the West Market. The two of them were really busy guarding three stalls, so they had to find someone who was honest, reliable, and good at calculating to guard the third stall.

When Lin Yong called a few people over, there were six people in total, four men and two women.

Mo Yan knew all these five people, having met them all before in the refugee camp. Among them was Lin Da, who had a very good relationship with Lin Yong. The other three men also went to her house for dinner last time. The older one was named Lin Meng, the taller one was named Lin Song, and the other one was named Lin An. As for the two women, she had only seen them but was not familiar with them, but Lin Yong introduced him, so there must be no problem with his character.

 Mo Yan immediately divided these five people. Because we didn’t know the sales situation of vegetables in Nanshi and Xishi, we arranged two people to guard these two places first.

Although they live in the same village, they are not a family after all. It is better for men and women to be separated to avoid suspicion. So when making arrangements, Lin Da, who was sharp-tongued and quick to settle accounts, led Lin Song to guard the West Market. Mo Qingze led Lin An to guard the South City, and the remaining three people, Lin Meng, Xiong, and Zhou, along with Mo Yan, guarded the East City.

“The wages are thirty cents per day and are paid on a daily basis; at the beginning of every day, an ox cart comes to the village to bring vegetables. You can ride on the ox cart and come together; if there is something at home that makes you unable to leave, just tell me in advance..."

Mo Yan explained the salary and other issues in detail. Finally, the six people who listened carefully asked, "Do you have any questions?"

 The six people shook their heads quickly! What a joke, with such a generous salary and no need to work all day long, only a fool would have problems.

The affairs in Liuyang Village came to an end for the time being, and the father and daughter hurried back to the city.

 Mo Yan asked Mo Qingze to go home first, while she waited for someone on the street. After a while, I saw Uncle Meng driving a mule cart slowly approaching.

“What’s wrong, girl, are you waiting for the old man here?”

Uncle Meng found Mo Yan when he got closer, and quickly pulled the reins to stop.

Mo Yan took the rope and helped Uncle Meng park the mule cart to the side of the road before saying, "Grandpa Meng, my family will need six more carts of vegetables tomorrow. Can you help find six more carts?"

In addition to Uncle Meng's mule cart, the three carts transporting vegetables today also have two ox carts that he helped find. Those two people are related to Uncle Meng. In any case, it's like inviting someone else. It's better to hire someone you know and trust. living.

"Okay! If you think highly of me, old man, I will help you find the right person for you." Upon hearing this, Uncle Meng grinned happily: "It seems that the vegetables sold in your greenhouse are very good, but there is one thing. I have to remind you, but you don’t want to hear it.”

 At the end, Uncle Meng paused and looked at Mo Yan with hesitation in his eyes.

Seeing that Uncle Meng was so cautious, Mo Yan knew that what he was about to say must be very important, so he suppressed his smile and said seriously: "Grandpa Meng, you are well-informed. What you said must be for my own good. How could I not Like to listen?"

Hearing this, Uncle Meng felt more and more that the little girl was mature and prudent, so he no longer had any worries and expressed his worries:

"There are people in our village who work for a wealthy family. It is said that the wealthy family also builds a greenhouse to grow vegetables in winter. The cost of building a greenhouse is more than an ordinary family can earn in a lifetime, but the vegetables they grow are not necessarily that good; you I have also seen vegetables grown at home, and they sell better than the vegetables in season. The greenhouse that can be built is really crude, and the vegetables in winter are so precious. Many big families will be attracted by the benefits of this. If If someone forces your family to hand over vegetables from the greenhouse, you can’t resist at all!”
