daily struggle in ancient times

Hearing that the Huo family was going to recruit people to work, the village immediately seemed to be poured with hot oil, and it was boiling.

There are no secrets in the village, and with Aunt Huo's temperament, the village knows about Huo Cheng running a business these two times.The Huo family had just bought an ox cart for a long time, and they had to hire people to work again. It seemed that they had made a lot of money.

In the past, some people would think that the Huo family had a strong family background, but that day when Huo Jiang left, the village chief let people spread the truth about the division of the Huo family.Therefore, it has been spread in the village in the past few days. When the Huo family separated, Huo Jiang and his wife took everything away. Except for the house, Huo Cheng had nothing.

Seeing that Huo Cheng is so capable, the villagers are no longer afraid. They all regret it and want to get involved with the Huo family.I didn't see Gu Hongzhi's three boys going out with Huo Cheng. When they came back, they brought big bags and small bags. The Gu family and Uncle Huo's family were all overjoyed. If it didn't make money, how could it be like this?

Therefore, when the Huo family said they wanted to hire someone, everyone in the village was eager to get close to Aunt Huo, hoping to have a relationship with the Huo family. It would be good if you can't eat meat and drink some soup.

Gift-giving and relationship-building, big guys are full of tricks, but Aunt Huo is uncharacteristically, not only unmoved, but also rejected several good friends, which surprised everyone.

As everyone knows, Aunt Huo knows very well in her heart that she is always talkative, and most of those who get along with her have this temperament.The business of bacon is so good, these talkatives go out to publicize it, and then ponder it in private, it is not impossible to steal business from her family, she will not do such a thing of self-destruction.

This time she is looking for people with good character and good mouth. Such people are easy to find, they are all from the same village, and no one knows who they are after decades.Soon, Huo Cheng asked her to find all three people.

The wages given by the Huo family are very generous, 25 Wen a day, which is worth a strong laborer going out to do odd jobs, so on the day of work, everyone came to the door at dawn, for fear that the Huo family would be dissatisfied if they went late. Lost this job.

Huo Cheng bought a lot of seasonings for making bacon this time, and after they were ground into powder, Wei Yun prepared them according to the proportion.In this way, what these people can learn is only the technique, but the formula is unknown.All the unused ones were locked by Aunt Huo in the cabinet of the house, and she was not afraid of leaking them at all.

The Huo family wanted a lot of pork, and the price given by Butcher Zhang was much cheaper than the market price. Such a large amount of business would last for a long time. Butcher Zhang was very happy, and drove the car early in the morning to deliver three heads of pork. .

With so much pork, offal and pig blood, the small yard was full of fishy smell.But the big guys didn't dislike them at all, their faces were full of red, and they were so excited.

They are all people who are used to farm work, with great strength in their hands, and the meat is all boned. With the knife in hand, the pork is quickly divided into small pieces that are easy to marinate.

Wei Yun has already distributed the prepared seasoning to everyone, and at the moment he is taking a piece and kneading it while telling them: "It must be spread evenly, and the corners and corners must be carefully wiped, and you must not be lazy."

The big guys walked around the stove every day, and without Wei Yunduo's teaching, they quickly got started one by one, and soon they did it well, no worse than Wei Yun, the master.

Here, Wei Yun brought people to make bacon at home, and Huo Cheng was not idle there. He discussed with Wei Yun yesterday, and now an acre of good land costs 15 taels of silver, while medium-sized land costs [-] taels of silver. The field only needs five acres.

All their savings are only about 500 taels, and it is impossible to use all of them to buy land. The house at home is also old, and it is not big enough. After a long time, they will not be able to live in it. Huo Chengcheng thought about building another one.

Less than 400 taels of money was reserved for the construction of the house, emergency and buying and selling.Huo Chengcheng wanted to buy ten acres of good land, five acres each of medium and low-grade fields, and a few acres of wasteland near the river.

The village chief knew that he could make money, but he didn't expect to make so much money. But looking back, both of them can make money.Not to mention Huo Chengcheng, Wei Yun doesn’t seem to sell many pastries every day, but the profit is actually quite considerable. Not to mention making a lot of money, he can manage the family to eat and drink, and still have a surplus. Pass.

"You want to buy Tongli's land?" the village head asked.

Huo Cheng nodded, "I heard that their family sold the land, and it's still connected together. It's easy to take care of after buying it."

The village chief was a little embarrassed, "I'll go back and ask the clan elders."

Li Family Village had a high official in the previous dynasty, Li Tongli's family, but after that person's death, his grandparents were useless, and the previous dynasty was destroyed, so their family returned to their ancestral land.

The line of officials who are officials has a lot of support for Zuli, so they can live in peace and stability after returning, and they have a lot of voice in the village.

Life was good at first, although there was no wealth, but there were hundreds of acres of land, and it was very prosperous.

Who would have expected that there would be a prodigal son.

Li Tongli came late to have a son, just this single seedling, he was naturally spoiled by the sky, and those who want the stars not to give the moon will spoil people for life.

Not only is he like his father, he has no ancestral demeanor, he looks down on this and that, but he also has the bad habit of gambling.

How can I get rid of this thing if it is stained? Li Tongli also made up his mind to teach him a few times, but it didn't work at all.Years ago, this kid was cheated by someone, and he lost more than 100 taels, and even borrowed 100 taels.

This kid was guilty and dared not tell his father, but in just two months, 100 taels became 400 taels.The Li family had been defeated by him and had no money, so it was impossible to raise such a large sum of money. There was no other way, so Li Tongli put up [-] acres of land at home.

Regardless of the poor character of the Li family, the fields listed are all good fields. In order to repay this lineage, when buying land back then, the village zoned out all the best places.

It has only been two days since the news was released, and there were a few people who asked about it at the head of the village, but everyone knew that he was in a hurry to spend money, and his family was not very popular, so they refused to buy it quickly, always thinking that it could be cheaper .

But how could Li Tongli agree!

It was already a very heartbreaking thing for him to make up his mind to sell the ancestral land. Naturally, it is impossible to sell it at a low price. The two waves of people are now at a stalemate.

The village head has been annoyed by this matter for the past few days. Huo Cheng wants to buy it now, and he doesn't bargain for it. He is not unhappy.

But after all, the Huo family is from a foreign surname. Although it has been a long time since they moved here, their surname is not Li.If Uncle Huo's family was okay, he would have married a daughter from the Li family, but there was no one surnamed Li in Huo Cheng's family.

At any rate, this place has witnessed the glory of the Li family. Now that it is going to be bought by outsiders, the clan elders are probably not very happy.

Huo Cheng also knew it well, so he didn't say much, and changed the subject: "I haven't been back for a long time, and I don't know many things. Do you know if there is a house built near here?"

"What? You want to build a house?"

"Yes," Huo Cheng said, "the house at home was built when my grandfather was still alive. After decades, it should be refurbished. The weather is cold ahead, and money is not in hand. Now is the right time." .I looked at it yesterday, and some of them may not last for a few days even if they are repaired, so I might as well build another one.”

The village chief nodded when he heard the words, knocked his cigarette bag and said: "Old Chen Tou of Dashi Village does this. He is really good at his craft. He does it in all the ten miles and eight towns around here. I will ask you later. You When are you going to build it?"

Huo Cheng thought for a while and said, "Let's wait until the spring plowing is over. I haven't found the wood yet. When the spring plowing is over, it will be easy to find both wood and people."

The village chief took a look at him and quite agreed: "That's the reason. Those of us farming live on the land at all times. If you are looking for wood, it's a good thing if you find it. If you can't find it, go to the old man. Chen Tou, nine out of ten he has it."

The beams for building houses are hard to find. Most of them are found in the mountains or planted by themselves for decades, but they have to be disposed of when they are old enough, otherwise the wet wood used as beams will rot.

Old Chen has helped people build houses for so many years, and it is clear who has the beams and whether they are good or not. When he comes across good wood, this old boy will store it by himself and sell it to those who need it.

The village chief had dealt with him several times, and knew that this man was a ghost, so he told Huo Cheng: "His beams are all good things, but the price is false, so they have to be cut in half. Don't be too sincere."

This helped Huo Cheng a lot, and saved him from searching like a headless chicken. He thanked the village chief gratefully, and then went back.

The village head has always been very neat in his work, and he went to Huo's house the next day.

The big guys in the Huo family's yard were working in full swing. When they saw the village chief come to the door, they hurriedly greeted him.

The village chief knew that Huo Cheng was looking for someone to work, so he just complied calmly, then turned around and asked Wei Yun, "Is Dacheng at home?"

Wei Yun handed him the tea in his hand, and replied, "I went to the city early in the morning."

Huichun Tang came to get the last bit of candy today, but shopkeeper Qian Feng only paid a part of it that day, Huo Cheng went with the waiter, and he hasn't come back yet.

"That's it!" The village chief didn't move the tea bowl, and he didn't show any expression when he heard Huo Cheng's absence, "It's the same with you."

He looked at the few people busy in the yard, lowered his voice, and said, "Dacheng came to me yesterday and said he wanted to buy land. The elder of the clan said that he can buy it, but he has to pay 20 taels of silver more."

Wei Yun was very angry when he heard the words, and knew that this was a gang to bully their foreign surnames!But this kind of fire cannot be directed at the village chief.

The village head is a good person, and he is willing to help them, but after all, it is the Li family, so nothing else matters.But this time, this matter is a matter of the entire Li family village, and the opinions of the clan elders must be considered. If there is a trouble, it will not benefit anyone.

"Okay, I'll tell Dacheng when I come back!"

The village head is actually quite annoyed, isn't it just a few pieces of land!This happened many years ago, and I still hold on to the old calendar.

If you ask him, there is no glory if you don't sell this land, and you won't lose anything if you sell it.Now he is unwilling to sell to a foreign surname, but he is used to domineering in the village, and he is unwilling to be oppressed by a foreign surname once in a while.

But don't even think about it, people who buy it or not will get up sooner or later, why bother to stick to these rules and offend people abruptly.It's better to sell the land to others generously. If you sell it well, you can get rich in the future, right?

But his surname is Li, so it's not easy to tell the clan elders this kind of "elbow turning out", so he comforted Wei Yun and left.
