Looking at Luohe Prefecture, where more and more people suddenly became more and more popular, You Jin knew that the digging of the canal was probably true. It would take a lot of labor to dig the canal, and these people who dig the canal are not necessarily all For the people of Luohe Prefecture, their food, clothing, housing and transportation will become a problem, and this is all a business opportunity.
"Are you looking for someone to build a house?" He Hao really didn't know whether it meant that the Su family had good foresight or that they were lucky. Who would have thought that a few old and weak women and children from the Su family spent so much money to buy so much wasteland. I also feel that people are stupid, and I slapped my face in a blink of an eye without thinking about it. It is myself who is stupid! "Is your family not enough to live in now?"
Youjin explained with a smile: "I look at the people coming and going in Luohe Prefecture now. I'm afraid that the construction of the canal is a certainty. I think about building some thatched mud brick houses on the wasteland, and I can earn some money. "The Su family currently has ten acres of land about a stone's throw away from the Wuliqiao River. Only four acres are planted, and six acres are left empty. If they build some houses, they will be rented to river workers in the future. The dormitory is also a way to make money, isn't it? After discussing with the Su family, Youjin came to Lizheng to ask for help: "We don't have many acquaintances in Wuliqiao, so I wanted to ask Uncle Lizheng for your help and find a team of craftsmen."
He Hao was filled with emotion, and it was no wonder that the Su family had a good life! The eldest girl of the Su family really dared to think and do it, He Hao nodded and said, "Yes, this matter is covered by me." Now the entire Wuliqiao is only the Su family's ten acres of open space on the west side of the river. If you want to make some money by taking advantage of the east wind of digging the canal, you have to have a relationship with the Su family.
"Then I would like to thank Uncle Lizheng. When the house is built, Aunt Zhao can also make some steamed buns and other things to sell there, and can earn enough for the family to spend." You Jin naturally knew that he was coming. In the past, if only your family earned all the money, others would not be jealous
Zhao Chunhua's eyes lit up after hearing this. Their eldest son spends a lot of money every year when he studies in a private school in Luohe Prefecture. You Jin, you can help us a lot!" Zhao Chunhua really likes this big girl of the Su family more and more, and there will be something to do with her sweet mouth, even if she is still young, otherwise it would be a good choice to marry her home as a daughter-in-law. .
After talking to Li Zheng, two days later, a construction team of 18 people went to the wasteland on the west side of the river and started to lay the foundation and build the house according to Young Jin's idea. Youjin's idea is also very simple. The dormitory is mainly divided into two types, one is Datongpu, which can accommodate twenty people in one room; the other is a small single room, a small kang bed, and a simple table, chairs , this is for the stewards in the river work.
The construction of houses on the west side of the river also alarmed many villagers in Wuliqiao. More and more villagers came to the west side of the river to watch the lively scene. They were envious and envious of the sudden rise of the Su family. Young Jin was too lazy to care about them. Now that the puppies in the family have grown up enough to look after the home and care for the home, in order to dispel some ill-conceived people, he deliberately led Da Huang Xiaohe around the village for a few laps. The dog that followed the little girl of the Su family majestically, with teeth oozing cold light, really scared off a lot of thoughtful people.
Now everyone in the Su family is still living peacefully, selling sour plum soup every day, and then taking a few younger sisters to exercise, training dogs, and adding a job of digging for golden cicada flowers in the mountains, the life of young gold can be said to be Filled up a lot. Days passed by, and in a blink of an eye, the fire season in July, a house by the Sujia River has been built: Youjin adopts a layout similar to that of ordinary dwellings, with only one door to go out, which is divided into the main room and the east and west wing rooms. , but they are all made into Datong shops, there is no kitchen, the number of showers and thatched huts is increased, and there is no warehouse in the backyard, and they are all made into Datong shops, so that there are two main rooms in the front and rear, and a total of six on both sides of the east and west wing rooms. A large hall can accommodate up to 120 people.
As for the single room next to the Datong shop, it is a slightly better-built single room. The single rooms are connected in rows, and each room is accessed independently. Only the shower and toilet are shared, and there are no courtyard walls or doors. It is directly rented to the stewards of the river workers to live in. At that time, you only need to find someone to clean up the ditch regularly.
It took another half a month after the Su family's house was built, and the canal in Luohe Prefecture began to be dug, and Youjin took Youyin and Youzhu directly to the river to solicit guests who needed accommodation: "Datongpu for only three cents a night! Three cents a night!" The price set by You Jin was not too high, only ninety cents for a full month's stay, which was half the price compared to the six-cent per night in Luohe Prefecture.
Sure enough, after You Jin shouted a few times, someone immediately came to ask: "Little girl, is it really three cents a night?" This time, many of the people who dug the canal came from other places, although they were tired from digging the canal. , but you can earn 30 cents a day, but it does not include food or housing. The prices in Luohe Prefecture are high, and the cheapest Datong shop costs 6 cents a night. If you want about ten cents, there are only ten cents left. Most of the people who come out to be river workers want to make some money, so naturally they can save it if they can.
When Youjin saw someone came to ask, he quickly pointed to a small black spot in the distance and said, "That's our house, one room for twenty people, and three cents a night. Are some uncles going to have a look?" The three people who came to ask Young Jin's solicitation looked at the direction she was pointing, and walked over to estimate that it was only two or three miles away, not too far, so they made an appointment with Young Jin to stay tonight.
Sister Youjin only stayed by the river base for half an hour, and no less than 30 people came to ask, and a middle-aged man who looked like a manager with a foreign accent came and asked: "Little girl, where does your family have? A single room?"
"There are some! The single room is calculated on a monthly basis, and it is four hundred and fifty dollars a month." This was the first time he came to ask the steward of the single room, and You Jin hurriedly introduced him to the situation of his own single room: "In our single room, there is a kang. The bed, with tables, chairs and benches, is right next to the river base, which is very convenient."
"Okay, I'll go take a look when I get off work." The price of four hundred and fifteen cents a month is still an advantage over the price of twenty cents a day in the city, so the steward nodded and decided to go and have a look.
After returning from the riverside, Sister Youjin helped Su continue to sew the quilts used in the single room. It is only July and it is not expensive to buy cotton, so the Su family bought more than a dozen quilts. One is to use it for the dormitory, and the other is to keep a cover for your own home. For the convenience of management, Youjin also spent a dollar a month to hire a widower, Uncle Hong, in his early fifties from Wuliqiao Village to come to see the courtyard gate of the river workers' dormitory. If he can earn a penny a month, Mr. Hong is too old to farm, so he happily comes to work.
That night, there were nearly 30 river workers living in the Su family's river workers' dormitory, and two single rooms were rented out. They paid first and then moved in. This time they earned nearly a tael of silver. Even more joyful.
When collecting the money, You Jin directly asked everyone if they would like to order breakfast for the next morning: "A sanhe noodle steamed bun, a bowl of coarse grain porridge, and two cents." Everyone heard that the price was reasonable, so they asked for one. After the accommodation was settled, he explained a few words to Uncle Hong, and left Xiao Hei here to guard the door. Only then did You Jin take Da Huang to the house not far away with a lantern.
After returning home, everyone in the Su family was busy preparing the breakfast that had been reserved for tomorrow morning: Su Shi, who had coaxed two little dolls who could roll over, kneaded the dough together with Xiaozhu, who could already help make steamed buns. Jin took the coarse grains out of the warehouse, soaked them in water, and then added firewood to the fire to boil the coarse grain porridge.
In the early morning of the second day, before dawn, You Jin came out of the east wing with a lantern, went into the kitchen, and cut the dough that Su Shi and You Zhu had woken up into pieces of equal size, then put them in a steamer, and put them on the right side. Above the pot where the coarse grain porridge is boiled. Bamboo, which was very dry, was crackling and crackling, but it was ready in two quarters of an hour.
When all the steamed buns were put into the back basket covered with a layer of white muslin cloth, and then the coarse grain porridge was put into the wooden barrel, the Su family in the main room and the young silver in the west wing also got up. Young Jin and Su Clan carried a large bucket of coarse grain porridge, Young Yin carried a clean coarse porcelain bowl, and the mother and daughter went to the river workers' dormitory in the light night.
The river workers who got up early did not get out of the hospital, and saw that the mother and daughter of the Su family had already set up a stall. He handed the money to Young Jin, asked for a bowl of coarse grain porridge, and finished breakfast beautifully with Sanhe noodles and steamed buns, and then waved away with the mother and daughter of the Su family. The river workers all went to work at about the same time. The breakfast brought by the Su family was sold out within a quarter of an hour. The mother and daughter packed their things and went home.
Speaking of Lizheng He Hao's family, Zhao's family also heard the news that dozens of people had already lived in the Su family's dormitory for river workers, so he was also a little anxious: "Head of the family, do you think we should set up a stall across the river quickly, These river workers can also earn a lot of money!"
He Hao is a well-established farmer, and he has never done any small business, so he is still a little worried, but thinking about the things that the children of the Su family who have not grown up dare to do, they can also do it at home, and said: "You go to Su's house in a while to discuss with Young Jin girl. Their family doesn't build a lot of houses now, we can rent one and sell some food."
Hearing what the master said, Mrs. Zhao was overjoyed, said "Hey", and hurriedly went out to the west of the river. On the way, I met two villagers who made steamed buns and went to sell them at Heji. They came back with a smile, and when they saw that the baskets on their backs were empty, it must be a good business. Seeing this, Mr. Zhao became even more anxious, but he couldn't miss this opportunity to make money!
Now is the rest time of the river workers at noon. Youjin has done the check-in procedure for 19 river workers. Now it has been changed to pay the accommodation fee every ten days. The dormitory is cheaper than in the city, so I have to pay for it. Young Jin, who came back from the river worker's dormitory, heard that Mr. Zhao was coming, and hurriedly entered the main room. Mrs. Zhao was now chatting and laughing with Mrs. Su in the main room.
