As the sun sets, the sky and water reflect the red waves, chasing the clouds of the big wild goose song; the big wild goose song is in harmony with the wind, and the geese whispering home.
After the summer, Tanaka still has a month of work to do, and the sky is getting hotter. When it comes to night, people who can’t sleep will look at the night and the starry sky outside. Naturally, farmers will not be like this after a tiring day. After using up the news time, only some people in the homes of the owners of the dealers have such a leisurely sentiment.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan ate buns stuffed with leek at night. They drank some spinach soup even if they were full. They lay down on the cave and soon fell asleep. When they were called by pomegranate about two hours later, they found it was outside. There are still people who can't sleep and wander there.
"Xiaobao, everyone's energy is too vigorous. Find some entertainment for them. Now they can't sleep at night. When the weather is hottest, don't you have to stay up all night? Yes. Delayed doing things the next day."
Wang Juan sat in front of the desk and was about to study. He saw that the light in the rear window changed from light to dark, which should have been caused by the torch in the yard being blocked by the person's body and then leaving.
"There is no use for any entertainment. If you let them play mahjong, it is very likely that they will play for one night. This shows that there is less work during the day. The main reason is that more people are found in the yard. Now that you can't sleep, let's study."
Zhang Xiaobao spread the paper, opened the book, thinking about the knowledge he learned from his father, and began to review. He admired the energy of these servants. He rubbed his ink and said to Wang Juan:
"You can also find something to do for them during the day. Go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. You can pick fern vegetables to see if you can find the monk head. It is the four-color flower, the scientific name Platycodon grandiflorum. Pick more. Come back and pick it with salt and seal the jar. , Dried in the sun, and eat it out in the winter when there are no more vegetables."
"Okay, then do it. It seems that we need to find more work for them in the future, so that we can sleep at night when we are tired." Wang Juan thinks this is a good idea. Those who are still walking outside don't know the little son and the little lady. Two people have found fun things for them.
In the early morning of the next day, most of the people in the yard of the two masters took a day’s food and went out of the yard and walked up the mountain. The task has been arranged. As long as it is edible, it will be collected. Two or three people One group, idea snake and insect.
The little children who originally played on the Zhuangzi saw so many people dispatched by the master’s house, and thought there was something big. They came forward and asked and learned that it was picking mountain vegetables. Dare to go too far, just look for it nearby, eat and play while not feeling tired.
In the evening, the children delivered the things to the owner's house first. Regardless of the size of the people, the speed of picking mountain vegetables was not slower than that of the adults. A bunch of little children actually got two big sacks of mountain vegetables and put them at the owner's house. The outside of the yard, waiting for the people inside to come out and get it.
The people in the yard should go out to work. There is no need to pay extra. The little boy has been busy for a day. Of course, he can’t do it in vain. Besides, there are a lot of two salted duck eggs. Save a little bit. You can eat them for five or six days. Put the duck eggs in your pockets and leave with cheers.
The people in the yard came back later, and I don’t know how far they have gone. They are all listless. There are dozens of sacks worth more than 3,000 catties. If they are all pickled with salt, the salt needs to be used up. Quite a lot, this is naturally impossible.
I had to pick some better ones and put them in salt water. The others were put in a cool place and dried in the shade. Then they were hung in a well-ventilated place. They could be kept for a long time. Those people would go to bed after having dinner in a hurry. When someone was instructed to read, the three special maids in the yard were responsible for teaching these people.
After studying for an hour, these people finally couldn't stand it anymore, and went back to the room one by one, falling asleep, and no one was awake that night.
"How about? This method is good? We have gained a lot of things and solved other people's insomnia problems." Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan when he was studying at night.
"Okay, but in two days there will be no mountain vegetables? What else do you let them do? You can't go to the mountain to chop wood, right? You always have to arrange something for them to do for a long time, except for some festivals and farming, they can help , I don’t seem to be doing much work at ordinary times?"
Wang Juan found that since he found some people to come home, she had fewer capable jobs. She and Zhang Xiaobao helped to plan most of the things. The efficiency was improved and the manpower was left. She was not so stupid to let the yard. People live nine to five in the morning and nightlife.
Zhang Xiaobao also doesn't want to see so many people idle. It is easy to form a kind of inertia when they are idle. If they can do some things on their own, it will be easy to do. Knowing what to do, that would be troublesome.
They must have a goal, even passive blind obedience. Hearing Wang Juan asked him to think of a long-term solution, he shook his head, "No, you can’t use a long-term job to confine them. Let them always feel the freshness of their work.
With the exception of Pomegranate, Xiaohong and Cherry, they have already regarded that job as an honor. They love it from the bottom of their hearts. Replace them, and they will think that we have denied them.
These people asked them to pick two days of mountain vegetables, and then they would all get lotus flowers. Didn't the county magistrate Cheng find all the lotus flowers and get them in the pond? Let them do this first, and let them raise shrimps and crabs in two days, so that they don’t get too familiar with it. As long as they raise it for a few days, they will change other things, and other people will change with them.
The disadvantage of this is that the things we raise don’t expect to have a high yield, and they are easy to die. The advantage is that they encounter something they are not familiar with. If they want to satisfy the owner, they must learn it and make this thing before. Those who learn from others should also learn from them. "
"I know, in the process of teaching others, they will have a kind of spiritual return, which strengthens the communication between them, and at the same time forces them to take everything seriously, otherwise they will not be able to tell when they are asked. If someone else said it, it would be a shame."
After Zhang Xiaobao said, Wang Juan also understood that this is to take the money from the two of them to train people. One person has developed a serious habit of doing things, and he will keep it when he changes to other jobs, in order to be better. To teach others, you can only study hard, think hard, and sum up some experience.
The two wrote a few more lines, and Wang Juan said again, "In fact, there will be no loss of much money. The so-called loss refers to the difference between the expected output and the actual harvest. The transplanted lotus does not cost money, and the existing pond. Anyone who sells shrimp and crab can ask for it.
In my opinion, in addition to these things, there are some vegetables in the backyard. Some of them should be able to be grafted. The same is true for fruit trees. There will always be new things waiting for them. Continue to write, and then sleep after a while. "
Unknowingly, the Dragon Boat Festival is here soon. Spring plowing is all over the first few days. I usually take a little care of it and wait until the harvest is time. The wheat has already been cut, and the second crop will be later.
At the same time, the restaurant on Zhuangzi's side has also been completed. The supply of MSG to the three restaurants in the county has always been so small, and it is ready to be used in their own industries. Of course, the names of these industries are not those of Zhang Wang's family, Zhang Wang The two families have always been pure farmers. The Zhang family's ancestors have a bit of credit, and they can be regarded as Zhongliang.
As for business matters, it has nothing to do with the upper family. Others are made by others who occupy the place of King Zhang’s family. Even the mountain on the side of Xiaoluoshui was bought by the owner of Zhang’s house and transferred. I don’t know what the subleter manages after renting it out.
The project on Xiaoluoshui has not yet been completed. The river needs to be dug, the embankment needs to be repaired, the house needs to be built according to specifications, and the wharf also needs to be built. Paths and pavilions, as well as the artificial lake below, have to wait for other things to be done before they can be done.
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the wormwood seeds and other medicinal materials were collected. At this time, they collected all that can be harvested. Zhang Wang and Zhuangzi also bought a large number of them this time. It was Zhang Xiaobao who paid for these. Things are hoarding, and after a while, the medicinal store has almost consumed it and sold them together.
It’s Dragon Boat Festival, and the two Zhuangzi Zhuangzi of King Zhang’s family began to give out dumplings to the households again. The restaurant opened on the same day. A string of firecrackers rang out without money. The county magistrate Cheng brought some people from the yamen over to congratulate him, Zhou Xi. I didn't lie to others, and I also called people from the state to eat and drink for nothing.
Song Jinggong is well-known, and he has attracted many literary friends here to cheer him up. These people knew two days earlier, and they all worked hard at home while they still had time to write poems in order to wait for the place to shine. .
A remote place like Tuqiao Village became very lively because of the opening of the restaurant, which made all the farmers in the three villages happy to follow.
It is impossible for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to participate, let alone stand in front of the door to welcome guests. The adults in the family went, only the two of them were playing in the yard.
"Xiaobao, do you think there are any zongzi that children can eat? Just like ours." Wang Juan looked at others steaming or boiling zongzi. He was a little bit greedy, and worried that it would be difficult to digest in his stomach. , Asked Zhang Xiaobao boredly.
"Should there be? I was thinking about non-sticky rice, so I just used ordinary rice with some minced meat inside. Wrap it and steam it in a pot, then you can eat it." Zhang Xiaobao analyzed.
"Don't tell me, is it still called Zongzi? In case Zhou Zheng came to ask things again, he had to answer him correctly." Wang Juan lay on the chair, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
