Waste Wood Farming Notes

Chapter 27 Employment Relationship

When Li Tianfu woke up the next morning, his head was still aching. A few kids at home were playing, and his elder sister and his wife had already gone to town early in the morning.

I told them before that being known by the villagers would affect them, so they started to avoid other people and brought fish to the town early in the morning and late in the evening. After a while, there were repeat customers or people who made reservations in advance to buy their fish.

Because it is close to the town, their fish is very fresh. There are many rich people in the town. It is normal for them to change to other flavors if they are tired of eating pork.In another family, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, and they ordered a fish every day, just to feed the daughter-in-law.

Working from dawn to dusk, they delayed the time when they were discovered by the villagers.

Li Tianfu endured his headache and continued to catch fish for two days. The headache was healed. He planned not to collect so much taro next time. The taro grew there and no one robbed him.

His eldest sister and his wife got up early and went to bed late these days, and sometimes they had to do field work, so they lost some weight, but their food kept up, and they seemed to be very energetic.

As the family's money increased, so did the smiles on their faces, and Li Tianfu's small coffers also swelled up. After collecting a lot of taro, Li Tianfu planned to go to the town.

After catching the fish this morning, I went to the town with the two of them, and the children were sent to their grandfather's house to play. Usually, Shi Erhu and his wife are very filial to the elders, and besides, the elders like this kind of environment surrounded by children and grandchildren. atmosphere.

Promising to buy them delicious food when the time comes, Li Tianfu took with him the extra tael of silver that he had recently gained, which was distributed to him by his elder sister. In less than ten days, they had earned a tael of silver.

They worked in the fields for a year, but they could not save a tael of silver.

The money obtained from the field is actually a lot, but they also need to spend money for daily things, so after calculation, they can't earn a tael of silver a year.If you get sick or something, not only will you have no money left, but you will also owe silver.

"Sister, let's go shopping first." Following them to the town, Li Tianfu couldn't wait to walk towards the rice shop. The guy at the rice shop had a little impression of him. After all, every time he came to buy food, he bought a dozen or so. Twenty catties, and there are not many people who come here frequently.

After a few words with the clerk, Li Tianfu gave up going to the other two stores as soon as he went out. He didn't expect this clerk to have such a good memory. He only came to buy rice three times, and he remembered it. It's no problem now, but It's also a hidden danger, in case he meets an acquaintance in Mipu and accidentally mentions this topic...

Li Tianfu frowned, he should take some of these things home from time to time, as a way to improve the food at home.

But it is impossible for him to buy food secretly like this all the time. It would be great if he could find a reliable person to buy food for him. Thinking of this, Brother He's face appeared in Li Tianfu's mind, shaking his head, no, he The relationship with Big Brother He is not to that extent.

Tell Brother He, it's better to tell his grandma!

However, the appearance of taro relieved his crisis. If there is not enough rice, it is not enough. When the time comes to cook rice, cook taro rice at the same time. When there is no rice later, just eat taro directly. It is better to have something to eat than to starve to death!

In fact, he is more willing to go to various villages and buy rice directly from the villagers. The price is generally a penny or two lower than that of the rice shop, and he doesn't have to worry about being recognized.

It's just going to a village farther away, he doesn't have the strength to run that far, Li Tianfu sighed again, if only he could find a reliable adult man!

Although there are people here who sell and buy, but he has no money!

He may not even be able to support himself, so he buys people back.Hiding it from your family?There is no place to live, and it is inconvenient to do anything if you do not hide it from your family.

Li Tianfu, who felt that his thinking had entered a dead end, thought that if he went to the market, he might find something new.

"Candied haws—selling candied haws—two pennies a bunch—"

Hearing this, Li Tianfu paused, turned around and walked towards the source of the sound. A middle-aged man was selling candied haws, surrounded by many women with children.

Taking advantage of his delicate face, Li Tianfu squeezed in, "I want a bunch."

Holding the candied haws he bought, Li Tianfu was very happy. It was the first time he had eaten this kind of authentic candied haws. It was sweet and sour and delicious.

After walking around the market, I saw two people selling grain. After comparing the price and quality, Li Tianfu asked the first person, "How much is this rice per catty?"

"Nine, nine cents a catty. Our rice is absolutely not mixed with sand, and this rice is from last year, so it is still very fresh!" The other party was clearly doing business for the first time, and he spoke with obvious nervousness , Seeing Li Tianfu's tender face, he said with some frustration.

Many people came to ask the price in the morning, but they left as soon as they heard the price he said.They are waiting for the rice to be exchanged for money to eat, and he can't set the price too low.

Last year's rice was not considered old rice, but the price was indeed a little higher. However, another rice seller, Li Tianfu, saw that there was a lot of sand in their rice, so he gave up.

"Is it worth eight cents?" Li Tianfu scooped up a few handfuls of rice and looked at it, then asked.

The middle-aged man said cruelly, "Sell!"

There is no way to wait any longer.

"I didn't bring a bag, so this bag counts as a penny?" Li Tianfu said, "By the way, where are you from, big brother?"

With another penny in income, the man replied with a happy expression, "I am from Chenjia Village."

"Oh, so it's from Chenjia Village." Then this person is also not good, because he is too close to their village, and he is easy to be found. After finally finding a person who looks pleasing to the eye, and he can't use it, Li Tianfu carried the rice bag and continued. Let’s go shopping, if there is no one in West Street Market, then go to East Street Market to have a look!

It has to be said that the things in the East Street Market are indeed much richer than those in the west. The most important thing is that there are more rich people here. Li Tianfu also saw many hunters bringing prey to sell.

After thinking about it, Li Tianfu went out, changed his appearance in a corner, at least ordinary acquaintances would not recognize him, and then went to two other rice shops, one of them bought [-] catties of rice, and had After disguising, Li Tianfu quickly exchanged a tael of silver in his hand for food.

Li Tianfu changed his clothes in the corner, removed his disguise, and then walked out with a little spare money, and he was not a person who abused himself. Of course, if he has money, he should treat himself well.

He was reluctant to part with the too expensive one, but he still could afford the mung bean cake. After thinking about it, he bought another two catties of red bean cake.

Thinking that in the next five or six years, even if he had money, he would not be able to buy it, Li Tianfu had an urge to buy snacks and go back to stock up.

But the most important thing is food. Li Tianfu was impulsive for a while, calmed down, gave up this idea, just ate a piece of red bean dim sum, and then rewrapped the rest, saving some food!

"Big brother, do you still want to buy sweet potatoes?" A person asked, tugging at the corner of Li Tianfu's clothes.

Li Tianfu looked back, it was the boy he had bought sweet potatoes before.

He already has taro, so he doesn't need to buy sweet potatoes. Li Tianfu shook his head, "No need, I have quite a lot at home."

"It's like this, I just saw you walking around here, big brother, and thought you were looking for us." The boy said disappointedly.

This time the boy was dirty, which verified Li Tianfu's previous guess that they were little beggars in the town.

Li Tianfu rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of a question, "I have a business for you now, do you want to try it?"

"Brother, don't you think it's annoying that we are beggars?" The young man stared at him with clean eyes, trying to see if he was prejudiced against them, or had some intention to get close to them.

"What does it matter to me that you are beggars?" Li Tianfu said strangely, if they were cleaned, no one would be able to tell.

The boy smiled, "What kind of business would you like to talk about first?"

They beggars, naturally have their own way, it is not easy to deceive them, this big brother is not like a bad person.

"I have a lot of fish in my hand, a lot of dried fish, can you sell them?" Li Tianfu asked. There are also a lot of fish that have just died in his space, but the price of dead fish is not high and they are not expensive. If it is easy to sell, he plans to make it into dried fish.

As for salted fish, he won't compete with his third and fourth uncles for business.

They are inland here, and fishing is not easy, so the sales of fish are good. The salted fish and dried fish shipped from the sea are expensive. If he set the price lower, he should be able to sell it, right?

"How many do you have?" the boy asked.

If you want to cooperate with them, it is because the other party is not suitable to come forward. There are indeed a lot of gossip in their hands. The sweet potatoes in his hand could not be bought before, because he has channels in his hand that do not accept cheap sweet potatoes. It's okay to do this kind of thing.

"It's about a hundred catties now?" Li Tianfu said a whole number, and if the fish in his space were dried, it would be more than that.

After all, the fish in their village were almost wiped out by him, and most of the fish in his elder sister's village were also removed.

"Okay, but you're not afraid that I'll take your things and run away?" the boy asked curiously.

Li Tianfu: "These things will be given to you in batches, and I will reward you."

"Okay, I will sell things in the West Street Market on market days." The boy left after speaking.

As soon as the young man left, Li Tianfu died, so the young man who valued his brother should be a good one, right?

He can't help it, hire minors, hire minors!
