Chapter 139 Blueberry Cheese
Baitao was talking, and Old Blackhead began to wipe his hunting tools.
Since his aunt had said that he would arrange a reward of two kilograms of meat, he would take a few people to the nearby mountains while it was still early to see if they could hunt something back.
Others in Taohua Village were also busy in an orderly manner. Even the three- to five-year-old Xiao Douding did not run around. He got together obediently and memorized and practiced calligraphy under the leadership of the older children.
The sound of reading could be heard loudly, and people who didn't know it might have thought that this was some family's ethnology class.
When many fleeing people heard this, they immediately cast their envious eyes towards the camp in Taohua Village. The caravan must be rich enough to train so many scholars.
When the female workers started working, Baitao made a few rounds and saw that everyone was doing a good job. He ordered Bai Qiao and Bai Miao to watch, and then he went back to the tent to hide under the covers and watch the show.
When Yang Song saw this, his doubts deepened, and he slipped to the river when no one was paying attention.
There were Qinxin grass on both sides of the Qingquan River. He pulled a few of them and started looking for the grass roots.
Since Miss Bai is so interested in it, it must not be poisonous. He will give it a taste, just in case he can eat it.
However, Yang Song searched several branches in a row, but couldn't find the grass heart that Bai Tao mentioned in the branches. He couldn't help but wonder: "It's strange, where is the grass heart? Why didn't I see the grass heart that Miss Bai mentioned?"
< br>
Originally, Yang Song wanted to search again, but at this time, people came one after another to the river, either to fetch water or cut Qinxin grass, and some tried to catch one or two fish from the river to feed themselves, so he had to give up.
Quietly returning to Lu Xiaohao, Yang Song whispered: "Sir, I didn't find the careless heart that Miss Bai mentioned."
"Oh." Lu Xiaohao responded nonchalantly.
If you can't find it, you can't find it. He is not a woman between fifteen and twenty years old. If she finds this job, she won't want him.
Yang Song wanted to say something else, but then he thought about it, forget it, let's not say it, otherwise the master would know that he was just trying to taste the grass, and he would be embarrassed.
No matter what the job is, practice makes perfect.
There is a basket with a reward of two kilograms of meat. The temptation is that those with quick hands can hammer out one basket plus two baskets of grass hearts in one afternoon.
Those with slower hands can hammer out a basket when the work is done.
Since I only have to work all afternoon, I will naturally take care of dinner.
Many people came to work for the food of the Baijiabao caravan. Before they finished work just now, they felt hungry when they smelled the aroma of food wafting in the air.
Today's dinner is fried bacon with sour cowpeas, fried shredded potatoes, dried sweet potatoes mixed with rice and boiled rice.
The female workers were astonished as they queued up to get their meals.
It's not watery, and no wild vegetables or bran are added. One tablespoon per person is enough for them to eat.
Each person also had three pieces of bacon, the shreds called potatoes, which were pink and crispy and smelled of an indescribable aroma.
I heard that the shredded potatoes were purchased from afar by the Baijiabao caravan, so they were not easily available.
Some people are reluctant to eat it themselves, so they want to take it home and eat it with their families.
I was also afraid that I would not be able to come back to work if I was discovered, so after struggling again and again, I mustered up the courage to ask.
"Manager, I want to take this meal home to eat, okay?"
Bai Qiao and Bai Miao looked at each other. Bai Qiao said, "One meal per person. You can eat it here by yourself or take it home, it's up to you."
They are also farmers with their backs turned to the sky, so how could they not know the thoughts of these female workers.
"Work will start at 11:00 tomorrow, so don't be late."
"Boss, will I still reward two pounds of meat with a basket of grass hearts tomorrow?"
Bai Miao: "Yes."
She asked her aunt just now, and her aunt said that she would keep collecting them until they could cross the river. Fifty people, two kilograms of meat per person is only one hundred kilograms.
Originally, Baitao had planned to buy some pork from the mall, but Lao Heitou and a few villagers carried two wild boars and three wild goats, so they topped it with game meat.
The person who got the meat looked at the meat tied with a straw rope in his hand and was excited and happy. However, when he saw that the others got half a catty more than him, he suddenly felt unhappy.
Tomorrow, I must work faster tomorrow, and try to hammer out more grass heart, so that I can exchange two more kilograms of meat.
After these female workers left, Taohua Village sent the grass hearts that had just been collected to a tent used as a warehouse.
‘Tip, Qinxincaocaoxin, two hundred and eighty-eight coins per pound, do you want to sell it? ’
Bai Tao: ‘For sale. ’
Not to mention that the shopping mall was beeping excitedly for a long time in the afternoon. Even Baitao wanted to know how many straws he had made this afternoon.
‘Tip, Qin Xin Cao Xin totals 15,342 kilograms, and the income is 4,418,496 coins. ’
Baitao knew she would make a lot of money, but when she actually heard the specific amount, her pupils dilated slightly in surprise.
There is no cost for the Qinxin grass. You only need to have someone cut it by the river and transport it back.
The salary of Cao Xin is ten cents a day, which is only five cents for half a day. For fifty people, it is only two hundred and fifty cents for half a day, which can be ignored.
Meals are priced at ten coins per person, so for fifty people it is five hundred coins.
Even if you add two pounds of meat per person, the cost of hiring is extremely low.
Baitao didn't continue the calculation, but just murmured in his heart that labor costs were really cheap in ancient times.
Tomorrow we have to hire a few people to collect the branches after removing the grass hearts, and they will be used in a few days.
"Auntie, is there anything you want to eat?" Bai Duoxi asked, interrupting Baitao's thoughts.
It's okay for them to eat like this, but my aunt is different.
"I want to eat beef. Let's make some fried beef with pepper."
Spicy peppers are a fresh vegetable and are out of season at the moment. Naturally, the people in Taohua Village can only eat them themselves, even Lu Xiaohao and Yang Song don't get a share.
"Hey." Bai Duoxi took a pen and wrote it down in her notebook, and then asked: "Auntie, what would you like to have for dessert after dinner?"
"Make a blueberry cheesecake."
Baitao said: "Didn't you learn it a few days ago?"
Bai Duoxi immediately nodded happily: "Yes, I originally wanted to give my aunt a surprise tomorrow."
Because many female workers brought meals home to share with their families, the news spread throughout the country in less than a cup of tea.
People who were unwilling to be employed before suddenly regretted it. If they had known that they could work so well and pay so well, how could they not have chosen it?
Many people were eager to try it and inquired about it from the person who had been working for a long time.
"Sister, I want to ask, is that job easy to do?"
"It's okay, it's a delicate job." The small wooden hammer is not big, so the hammer should be neither light nor heavy, otherwise the heart of the grass will soon turn into green juice after being hammered.
"Are we really going to pay you wages?"
"Fat, I get five cents for half a day." In the past, only men could work, but I didn't expect that they would also have such an opportunity.
Not in a good condition, please take a leave~~~
