Chapter 249 Good Man
No further delay.
Xu Wenyan went into the kitchen and made a turtle soup, then hand-rolled some noodles and put them in. She added whatever she wanted.
In order to ensure that the soup is still hot when it arrives, I have to ride on Xiaohong.
When we arrived at Wei's house, sure enough, the door was closed.
In order to send a bite to eat to his big boss, Xu Wenyan could only knock as hard as he could.
The gatekeeper opened the door a crack and saw that the mouths of the servants in the Wei Mansion were all wrapped in cotton cloth.
After all, Mrs. Wen is still pregnant.
"Who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for...Xiaochan."
The clerk was still hesitating when Xu Wenyan saw a familiar figure in the yard: "Sister!"
Since there was no one familiar here, Xu Wenyan just called out.
Xu Jinhua also had sharp ears, and in fact, the two of them were quite far apart.
"Hey! Don't yell, I'm done for if I'm discovered."
Xu Wenyan just smiled and said nothing, waiting until Xu Jinhua came over.
"Wen Yan, why are you here? There's an epidemic going on outside. It's better for you to stay at home." Xu Jinhua said with concern, and then took out a handkerchief and handed it to Xu Wenyan: "You come out without covering your mouth and nose, take it quickly."
"Well, I'm here to bring food to Madam Wen." After saying that, Xu Wenyan was about to hand the lunch box in, but before it reached Xu Jinhua's hands, he was stopped by the gatekeeper.
The clerk said anxiously: "Sister Xiaochan, this is against the rules."
"This is what Madam wants to eat. Can you afford to let her starve?" Xu Jinhua said coldly.
"No, I dare not."
Xu Jinhua turned her head and smiled at Xu Wenyan: "Wait, I'll be back soon."
Although they said it would be here soon, Xu Wenyan had been waiting outside for fifteen minutes (half an hour).
When the door was opened, I saw Mrs. Wen's playful smile: "Wow, Shopkeeper Xu, who would treat me as a VIP without you? I'm really dying of greed."
"Mrs. Wen, what do you think after you taste it?" Xu Wenyan asked with his eyes curved.
"It's delicious! It's better than what I ate in the island!" Mrs. Wen asked curiously, "When I ate it in the island, the turtle tasted fishy.
I was quite happy when I heard you sent me food, but I was not as happy as you when I saw the turtle. However, I was happy again after I tasted it! My mood is up and down. "
"Mrs. Wen, I'm glad you like it. I have another one here, but I don't know..."
Mrs. Wen's eyes widened: "Yes! I must!"
Afterwards, Xu Wenyan taught Xu Jinhua how to cook the soft-shelled turtle. He believed that Xu Jinhua would not say anything wrong.
"Please bring me a jar of sauerkraut next time you come. I've almost finished it all."
"Sure, sure, as long as..."
Looking at Xu Wenyan who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
Mrs. Wen suddenly realized: "Oh oh oh, I understand, hehe."
Including the money for the two turtles, the total amount he gave was eleven taels of silver.
"But Madam Wen, whether it's the turtle or the pickled cabbage, you need to eat it in moderation every day. It's best to eat the pickled cabbage every other day."
Mrs. Wen nodded and said, "Well, you said it before. I ate with my master and Xiaochan. It's not a big deal."
After chatting for a few more words, Xu Wenyan was about to leave when Xu Jinhua stopped him again.
Xu Jinhua took out a bag and handed it to Xu Wenyan: "Wenyan, this is medicine for treating colds, be careful."
Without waiting for Xu Wenyan to say anything, Xu Jinhua hurried back into the mansion. Looking at the things in his hand, Xu Wenyan felt mixed emotions.
After returning to the museum, Xu Wenyan said goodbye to Jia Anqing and went back with Chen Sanlin.
Time is money. The government must be trying to get as many medicinal herbs as possible at this time. Xu Wenyan has already thought about it and will go back and call up the groups that have learned how to find wild vegetables.
There are probably about a hundred people, and the daily wages alone are five hundred coins. However, Xu Wenyan wants to set a minimum standard. Each person must bring back at least one kilogram of medicinal materials. Those who find more will continue to work the next day, and those who find less will be replaced.
This is a kind of healthy competition. Only by setting goals for them can they have the motivation to move forward.
After returning home, Xu Wenyan asked Xiaoman and Xiaohu to bring the people back, and this time they brought them directly to the factory.
Xu Wenyan didn't expect that this factory would be used so soon.
After everyone was present, Xu Wenyan spoke: "I called you all here today because I have a job for you to do.
The whole county is now closed, and it's not easy for everyone to make money. You all know that I have a business in the county, so tomorrow I plan to hire everyone to help me find wild vegetables.
I have led everyone to look for dandelions, Houttuynia cordata, mugwort and some other things before. Xiaohu and the others will continue to teach you. "
After hearing this, Zheng Liwei asked, "Xiao Xu, these wild vegetables are out of season now. I'm afraid they won't taste good. They're all old."
"It's okay, Brother Zheng. I'll collect whatever I find. I'll pay you five cents a day. You must collect at least two kilograms a day. If you collect more, I'll hire you tomorrow."
You know, this is five cents. You can get five cents just by looking for wild vegetables in the mountains. Is Xu Wenyan doing charity to help them?
As soon as everyone entered the house, they needed money.
"Ahem." Xu Wenyan cleared his throat and continued, "You are the first ones to come into contact with me. You all know my personality and I believe in your character. Anyway, just gather here tomorrow morning and report to your previous captain."
After the crowd dispersed, Xu Wenyan specifically kept the four Hua sisters.
"Brother Xu, what's wrong?"
"Sister Hua, you four don't have to go with me tomorrow." After hearing Xu Wenyan's words, the four people from the Hua family felt a little flustered. It is much more difficult for women to make money than men, and now they don't know what to do.
Xiao Yang choked up and said, "Xiao Xu, you don't have that much money anymore?" Come to think of it, there were so many people just now, and even if no one contributed 5 cents, hundreds of cents would have been spent.
Seeing the lost looks of the few people, Xu Wenyan immediately understood something and said with a smile: "Haha, what are you thinking about? I want you to help me deal with those wild vegetables."
There are only a few children in the family. When they are brought back tomorrow at noon, the three children, Wang Cuijuan and Zhou Rong will definitely be too busy to handle it.
“Dealing with wild vegetables?”
"Yes, how about I give you seven cents each? Processing wild vegetables is a delicate job, so you have to be careful. That group of men is not suitable."
Hua's eyes widened. "Seven...seven cents? That's higher than the wages of those men. No, no."
From generation to generation, only men earn more than women, and they can actually get seven cents just for processing these wild vegetables.
"That doesn't make sense. I'm afraid that you won't come to help me. Let's not talk about anything else. Just report on time tomorrow." Xu Wenyan knew that if he continued talking, he would have to argue for a while.
The wage of seven cents was already very low, and he made thirty taels just by selling one hundred kilograms.
Paying this salary is simply recruiting cheap labor.
Several women were deeply moved. How could there be such a good man in the world?
It's a pity that such a good man belongs to another man...
