Chapter 73 Their family is really capable, they brought both brothers to success
The little kids at home were so greedy for the delicious food that they couldn't move.
The situation on Lin Dashan's side is almost the same.
As soon as he left the house, he called Li Fugui, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he had notified all 58 households in the village.
Finally, all the men, young and old, who knew how to build houses in the village gathered in Wang Quan's yard. It was packed tightly, and they stared at the hundred-liang silver note in the middle and worshiped it.
No one in the village had ever seen such a large amount of silver bills in their lives.
One hundred taels! They couldn't earn that much money in their lifetime!
Others can just take it out easily, easier than them taking out a penny...well, comparing yourself to others makes you die.
Li Fugui was so excited that he pinched Wang Quan's shoulders and shook them hard, "Tell me quickly, can you build it according to that blueprint? Can you do it? Can you do it?"
Wang Quan was so dizzy that he pushed the fool away with his crutch, and scolded him with a smile, "How can I talk when you shake me like this? I used to learn the craft of a bricklayer from someone in town. I was lucky enough to build a two-story house like this. After all, I have been in this business for more than ten years. As long as I have a blueprint, I can build a house that is not too complicated. This money is earned!"
He made a promise, and Lin Dashan let out a breath he had been holding. "If Uncle Quan has no problem, then we have no problem. Aunt Du said that the building materials will be delivered at noon, which means she will buy the materials. This one hundred taels is the net salary for our work. I thought that when I work every day, I can let my wife bring meals to me, and I don't need to find someone else to cook. We will gather a hundred people, and Uncle Quan will be the leader to teach skills and supervise the work. He will take one tael of silver first, and the rest will be divided into one hundred equal parts, one for each person. Now let's discuss it together, and those who have different opinions can raise them!"
The men looked at each other for a moment, cheered, and surrounded Wang Quan and Lin Dashan, punching each other.
"Just do as Dashan says, I have no objection!"
"Quanzi is the leader and has many responsibilities. It's only right that he gets an extra ounce of silver!"
"Dashan, you thought of our villagers first when you had such a good idea. We'll remember it!"
"Don't worry! We will do our best to make sure you can get a good job!"
Wang Quan and Lin Dashan were beaten so hard that they couldn't stand steadily. They were angry and amused at the same time, and kept cursing.
We have to start work as soon as the materials are delivered. Although there are many people working, we want to complete the task perfectly, so fifteen days does not seem to be an easy time after planning.
After laughing and joking for a while, the men went home to eat. After eating, they gathered their strength and waited to start work.
In half a month, I made a net profit of almost one or two taels, which is more than sixty cents a day!
You can’t find such high paid temporary workers in the capital city!
After the show, Lin Dashan and Li Fugui went home together.
"Your family has been having a lot of trouble lately, with more bad things than good things. Today is the tenth day, right?" Li Fugui looked up. The morning sun was shining down from above, blinding people. "If the Chen family comes to visit, do you really plan to give the Hundred-Angle Grass to them?"
"Let's talk about it after the people arrive. We can't say for sure now." Lin Dashan didn't give a definite answer. Their whole family was waiting.
"Or we can just act aggressively! Yuxi Village is our territory. If he really wants to take it, I will call on the villagers to support you! I don't believe that the Chen family dares to kill all the villagers! At worst, we can just not leave the village! As for your Baixiang grass, as long as you spread the word, there will be plenty of people rushing to take it!"
"Are you talking nonsense? How can the world be so simple? It's okay for him to deal with my family, but if the whole village is implicated because of the Hundred-phase Grass, then my family will really have no face to face the elders."
Lin Dashan raised his hand and patted Li Fugui on the shoulder. "Things are not the worst yet. Maybe there will be a sudden turn for the better like yesterday. If things really turn for the better, I will have good news to tell you then."
Li Fugui was distracted by the word "good news". "What good news? Does your noble family have other good things to hire people for? Or is it for high wages? You idiot, can you stop leaving people in suspense? Are you deliberately keeping people in suspense? Hey, Brother Dashan! Can you please explain it clearly at once? Brother Dashan? Brother Dashan!"
Until he arrived at the door of his home and was kicked into the yard by Lin Dashan, Li Fugui was unable to get out any information.
Lin Dashan walked home steadily. When he approached the fence, he listened to the laughter coming from inside and a faint smile appeared on his face.
If they can pass this time, their family plans to grow licorice together with the villagers and make money to get rich.
This matter was proposed by my third brother last night. As soon as it was spoken, the whole family nodded in agreement.
He would ask his daughter again later, and as long as Baixiang agreed, the matter would be done.
Yuxi Village is small and has not many residents, but the harmony and mutual assistance here are rarely seen in other places.
They are fortunate to be in this village and have received countless assistance, big and small, from the villagers, and they all remember it in their hearts.
It is right to give back.
It's worth it.
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Dashan was dragged into the kitchen by his wife. When he saw the food on the dining table, he was so shocked that his eyes almost fell out.
Half of the bowls and plates on the table were filled with food they had never seen before, including meat, vegetables, and noodles... The presentation was so exquisite that people were afraid to pick up their chopsticks.
Against the backdrop of these foods, the vegetarian noodles, pickles, and coarse-grain pancakes squeezed to the edge of the table looked like pig food.
Zhang Cui'e sat at the table, slapping her thighs and laughing, "See, what did I say? When big brother sees this table, he will be as scared as Erhe and Jiang'er!"
"Was it a gift from a noble person?" Lin Dashan asked after heaving a sigh.
Li Sulan smiled and nodded, "Madame Du prepared breakfast for Madam and Young Master, and she specially allocated some for us. Dad has already brought some over, so please sit down and try it. We're waiting for you to come back and start eating."
"Brother, hurry up! I've been waiting for you for so long that my mouth is watering. Let's finish eating quickly so we can get back to work. I have to have a place in the house construction over there." Lin Erhe shouted anxiously, unable to wait any longer. "This is four-happiness meatballs, this is crystal shrimp dumplings, this is lotus cake, this is soy sauce noodles... Oh my god, today I realized how little I know!"
Lin Jiang teased himself, "Thanks to you, I can also taste what the food of the rich and powerful tastes like."
Mrs. Lin helplessly rebuked, "Hurry up and eat. Even if there is food, it can't stop you from eating! It will make people laugh."
Lin Dashan sat down, and when he didn't see the three kids, he asked casually, "Where are Bai Xiang and the others?"
"In the opposite room, sitting with the young master and eating for free."
"..."
Bai Xiang in their family is really capable. He has brought his two older brothers to success.
In the right room.
Bai Xiang held a crystal dumpling in his left hand, a lotus cake in his right hand, and a piece of four-happiness meatball in his mouth that he hadn't swallowed yet. His dark eyes were fixed on the soybean-flavored noodles that he hadn't tasted yet.
"This sauce-flavored noodle is made by Madam Du, and it's not as delicious as the one made by the cook at home." Yan Changqing picked up a spoonful of noodles with chopsticks, let it cool for a while, and brought it to the baby's mouth, "Bai Xiang, swallow what's in your mouth first, and I'll feed you."
Bai Xiang hurriedly did as he was told. He spoke a few words before he started to eat the noodles. "Brother Changqing, don't feed me. I can eat by myself!"
Lin Huaisong and Lin Huaibai, whose mouths were also full, glanced at their sister's busy little paws at the same time.
When you say this, you should keep your hands free, otherwise who would believe it?
