Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao stayed at home all day long and didn't go out to make a fortune. The village didn't know it, and many old people shook their heads, saying that they couldn't live without elders staring at young people.

Earlier, Brother Lin said that he also took Pei Shaorong to work in the town with his family's man. His family's man was working as a coolie on the dock. Although he was a little tired, he still earned dozens of pennies every day. good.

The strong men in the village would go to the wharf to work as coolies to make money to support their families when they were not busy in the fields. However, there were many people at the wharf.

Lin Ge'er has a good relationship with Mo Xiaobao, and his boss treats him well. He is willing to work with Pei Shaorong. Lin Ge'er specially came to Pei's house to tell them.

If Pei Shaorong is really as poor as the villagers think, he will definitely go back to work, but now that he has other more profitable ways, he will definitely not go to work as a coolie.

He politely rejected Lin Ge'er, but Pei Shaorong still took the family's good intentions to heart. After thinking about it, Pei Shao Rong decided to pull Ling Ge'er's house.

He is like this. Whoever treats him well will keep it in his heart. Hearing from Mo Xiaobao, Lin Geer's in-law's family is not very poor, but they are not rich either.

After all, people here who usually marry a younger brother as a wife are not rich, and a slightly wealthier family would not let a well-bred girl marry a younger brother.

And Lin Ge'er and Mo Xiaobao have been friends for so many years. When they were in the mountains, he also saw that Lin Ge'er was really helping A Bao.

It is not difficult for him to reach out to help him, and Aunt Qin and Pei Shaorong also want to call them together. When he came here, Aunt Qin helped him a lot, although it was only a few words of advice. , but it really helped.

During this time, everyone in the field was not busy, and Pei Shaorong was going to call Aunt Qin and Brother Lin's house to help him burn the charcoal for the candied candies.

He and Mo Xiaobao were too busy with the mountain goods he had collected before, and they both needed help.

There is also the sale of grilled skewers, which is not profitable for ordinary people, but it is definitely a big income for Pei Shaorong, but don't underestimate more than two articles a day, it is already very high for ordinary people.

When the time comes, Aunt Qin and Brother Lin's family will come to help and pay the wages themselves. Now that there is no life in the fields, they must be willing.

The wharf has income, but it is so tiring, and it is very hard to run the town every day. Now every household is not busy, the coolies at the wharf are overcrowded, and the income is greatly reduced.

Ask Aunt Qin, Uncle Qin, and Brother Lin to come to the house for dinner with his man, and Pei Shaorong shared his thoughts.

"Aunt Qin, Uncle Qin, Brother Lin and Brother Xue, I won't say more polite words. I called you here today because I want to tell you something..."

Lin Ge'er's husband, Pei Shaorong, was at the wedding. I have seen him in the past, and I have met him in the village on weekdays. He is two years older than him, his name is Xue Tieshi, he is as strong as a cow, and he looks like a very stable man.

"I'm going to sell dried hawthorn dried fruit. Xiaobao and I are too busy. I want to ask you for help. How about 30 cents a day for one person?"

This is the salary that Pei Shaorong decided to give after considering it. It's about the same as the current income of a day's work as a coolie at the dock, so the two families will not suffer.

This amount can be afforded with the money he has now. If everyone does well and earns more money, he doesn't mind giving out more red envelopes.

Moreover, Aunt Qin and Brother Lin, two relatively weak laborers, he also gave 30 wen, which is definitely not low for the two of them. I believe that Aunt Qin and Brother Lin are absolutely willing.

If you give too little, let people give up high wages to help themselves, not to mention whether they are willing or not, Pei Shaorong can't live with it.

Aunt Qin and Lin Ge'er were a little surprised to hear this, but they didn't expect Pei Shaorong to want to sell preserved fruit for money.

This preserved fruit is indeed a precious snack, and most of the village can make it, but because of the need for candy, everyone can't bear the cost.

"Big brother, the cost of making preserved fruit is too high, what kind of money can you make? If you need help, just call us, and what kind of money will you give back? Thirty fen per person per day, big brother, you don't treat money as money. Flowers!"

Aunt Qin is a straightforward person, who doesn't like making money, but Pei Shaorong's salary is too high, it's okay to give it to a man, she and Lin Ge'er will also give thirty cents for help, she feels that Too much.

This is preserved fruit, not to mention her, Uncle Qin and Lin Geer's husband also feel that it is not very good, the cost is so high, and there is no way to make any money, otherwise everyone in the village will make preserved fruit and sell it!

"Aunt Qin, I have already considered these in detail. The cost is a little higher, but there is still profit. You all know that my family has no land now, and I will be sad if I don't find a way..."

Pei Shaorong said. It's embarrassing, my actual situation is not as bad as he said, but the whole village knows that he is poor, and he can't show the appearance that I am actually rich.

"Hunting in the mountains is too dangerous, and it doesn't last long. In winter, I won't be able to go into the mountains, and if anything happens to me, I have no brothers or sisters to take care of him if I leave Abao alone, and I have enough money for this. If it goes well, next year, I can buy fields and farm with A Bao..."

He said that Aunt Qin and Lin Ge'er both understood, and Lin Ge'er's husband, Xue Tieshi, was silent for a while.

"Brother Pei, since you are planning this way, you should consider it in detail. My husband and I will help you with this work, but the wages won't be that much. You can give me twenty cents, and my husband ten cents. ..."

Xue Tieshi agreed after thinking about it. Since the Pei family said something like a gamble, it proves that he is sure to make money, otherwise he can't spend such a large amount of money.

The salary he gave was indeed a little higher, and it didn't take that much. He and Brother Lin were only 30 cents.

This group of Pei Shaorong might not make as much money as working at the wharf, but they are more relaxed and close to home in the village, and it is also convenient for him to take care of the family.

Aunt Qin thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement. The meaning was the same as Xue Tieshi. She felt that the salary was not so much.

"Aunt Qin Xue, you can take this salary with peace of mind. My job is not easy. Thirty wen per person's salary is absolutely worth it, that is, the salary can't be paid to you right away, and it can only be exchanged for money after the work is finished. You guys, I don't know if you are willing to do this work?..."

Pei Shaorong said with a smile, the money can't be given immediately, but as I said before, he is a poor boy now, and he has no money, so he can't tell It's not really worth it for someone else to do this on their own.

The Qin family and Lin Ge'er's family are really good, but he doesn't need to give them all the knowledge. The reason why he is relieved to let them help with the preserved fruit and the handling of mountain goods is also because these two crafts are not too secret.

He doesn't plan to share with other people the craft of making money like persimmon cake. It's not that he is selfish, and he is not very rich now. His family also points to persimmon cake to make money in the future.

Selling skewers and making preserved fruits are all temporary solutions. Persimmons, growing food in the future, and planting fruit trees that he thought about before are the long-term survival business of his family.

The cost of preserved fruit is really high for ordinary people. Sugar is not cheap here. He is making preserved fruit now because he has too much sugar brought over from modern times in his own space.

After listening to Pei Shaorong's words, Aunt Qin and Lin Ge'er looked at each other, nodded and smiled and said, "Go, why don't you do it, there is no other woman in the village who earns thirty cents a day, my aunt can pick it up this time. It's cheap, the big brother is capable!"

Since the master is not worried about the wages he is willing to give, there is no reason to refuse the money delivered to the door. One person is thirty cents a day, and the two of them add up to sixty cents a day. Went to the town to do part-time jobs to make money.

Everyone has been free for the past two days. There is no shortage of short-term workers in the town, and the wages are getting lower and lower. They have earned it for helping Pei Shaorong!

As soon as the matter was settled, Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao secretly put the dried persimmon into a jar and waited for it to produce hoarfrost on its own, then took everyone to work together.

Mo Xiaobao, Lin Ge'er and Aunt Qin continued to deal with the remaining mountain goods such as hawthorn and wild walnut at home. Uncle Qin and Xue Tieshi burned charcoal on the mountain to prepare for the next step.

As for Pei Shaorong himself, he went to the town to sell skewers every day. Although he invited Aunt Qin and Brother Lin's house to help him and asked for wages, his family still made a lot of money.

His daily income from selling skewers is more than enough to pay for his wages, and it can be much easier. Now there are many villagers doing part-time labor in the town. His skewers are not expensive, and his business is very hot.

With four more people to help, this matter was much faster. Aunt Qin and Brother Lin wanted to pay Pei Shaorong 30 cents per person, so they worked hard.

The winter in Linjiang Village is very cold, so the villagers here can burn charcoal.

Pei Shaorong didn't find these tasks easy, but it was simply too comfortable for the Qin family and Lin Ge'er's family.

It took him half a month to burn charcoal, boil the hawthorn with sugar, and make soaked and dried dried fruit for him. Anyway, everyone knows this skill, and he doesn't need his guidance at all.

There are also wild walnuts, pine nuts, chestnuts and other mountain goods, which are also made into dry goods according to his requirements.

This work efficiency Pei Shaorong can only say that he is very satisfied. Hearing that Aunt Qin and Lin Ge'er also said that it was a shame to do such a 'easy' job and take such a 'high' job, Pei Shaorong felt a little hot on his face. .

He felt like a capitalist exploiting labor force, paying others less than a fraction of what he earned, and blushing.
