This land was contracted by me [farming]

The place where the Jingyang county government used to post the notices was finally no longer empty.

Wu Jiu and Sun Ying both wore knives at their waists, showing off their official demeanor.This is the saber that Zhao Keran went to the blacksmith to give them a new one. The blade is sharp and all made of refined iron.Zhao Xiaoyu and Huo An were sitting in front of a small table, on which there were stacks of unused bamboo slips, as well as pens and ink.Shumo stood beside the bulletin board, and he read the content on the bulletin board loudly, so that passers-by could hear clearly.

"Fathers and folks, the yamen is recruiting workers! If you pass by, don't miss it! If you know how to carpenter, if you know how to calculate, if you have a strong physique, then come to the newly established 'Labor Association' of the county yamen to sign up. Now! All the children of the 'Labor Association' members can enjoy 'initiative education'!"

Shumo's face was flushed, half of it was caused by shouting about lack of oxygen, and the other half was because of embarrassment.

It was the first time he came into contact with such a straightforward article, and he had to read it aloud on the street, which was really embarrassing.But in order to complete the task assigned by the young master, he will definitely persevere!

Fang Zhongyuan hid behind the screen wall and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, scaring his old man to death.If he hadn't been old, I'm afraid he would be required to come on this errand.No matter what, the magistrate Zhao Xiao is also the son of a noble family, so how could he be so dishonest in writing the list?

And I have to admire Shumo, a young man, who really shouted in the street with emotion, attracting many people to watch.

"What is this labor going to be?"

"I haven't heard of it, what kind of jobs are you recruiting?"

"My little brother has a good voice, and the emphasis is also interesting. We haven't seen it here. Are you from the south?"

Shumo blushed, but he answered every question, "It's not the 'Labor Association', it's the Labor Association." This "Labor Association" sounds like some bad gang.

"Now the guild only recruits carpenters, accountants and security guards. There will be more jobs in the future. You can pay attention to the bulletin board in the yamen."

"What is a security guard?"

"It's the guard." Shumo wiped his sweat, and explained patiently, "It's responsible for protection and inspection. The guard requires good character, and physical strength is enough. All those who sign up in the guild, after registration, we will Check the information. If there are those who have done bad things and have bad character, we will not pass it.”

"Then why is this 'personality' called good?"

Shumo counted on his fingers, "The county magistrate said, be honest, treat others kindly, don't be greedy for cheap things, respect the old and love the young, and have a sense of justice."

"Ah, then Mr. Zhao, your character is not good, so don't read it here." There were "xx character is good" and "xx character is not good" one after another in the crowd.Shu Mo scratched his head, so the focus of your attention is not the recruitment information, but "character judgment"?

"The county magistrate said that those who join the 'Labor Guild' will sign a contract. As long as everyone works hard, the county magistrate will also provide corresponding guarantees for those who work hard. Monthly Money, the monthly money is calculated according to the time. In addition to the monthly money, you will be given an additional bonus. This bonus is also called performance. The better you do, the more bonuses you will get.

Moreover, the working hours are fixed every day, and work outside the fixed hours is considered overtime.We will also pay overtime pay for overtime work, and the overtime pay is double the normal time.For example, fifteen cents per hour, then thirty cents per hour of overtime work!It won't let everyone suffer. "

scare!Fifteen cents an hour?They only earn thirty or forty yuan a month.

"I know carpentry, I want to sign up!"

"I'm strong, I want to sign up too!"

"My younger brother is a student, he can count, I will sign up for him!"

Huo An held the brush and wrote vigorously, recording the applicant's name and home address, while Zhao Xiaoyu helped grind it.Wu Jiu and Sun Ying saw that the crowd was in chaos, so they organized the crowd to line up. Perhaps the two had been soldiers for many years in the past, and the smell of blood was still there.In addition, the heavy knife on the waist was used to create momentum, so that everyone dared not make any mistakes, and they lined up obediently.Shumo finally didn't have to raise his voice to answer people's questions, and thanked the two elder brothers silently.

The front of the yamen has changed from chaos to order.

Wangjia Village.

"Wang Xiaowu, where are you going?"

Hearing someone calling him from behind, Wang Xiaowu nervously picked at the threads exposed through the holes in his clothes with his fingers, his voice was very low, but it could be heard clearly, "I heard that the second brother said that the yamen recruited people, and the carpenter also wanted them. I I just wanted to try it out."

"Hey, why haven't you woke up when the sky is bright and bright? You can't even enter the carpenter's workshop in the town. You can just play with wood in your own home. The yamen is the land of the government. If you want a carpenter, can you really want me?" ?" Wang Tutu put down the firewood in his hand, he didn't mean to hit Wang Xiaowu, he was telling the truth.

No one in Wang's Village knew that Wang Xiaowu was kicked out of the carpenter's workshop in the town last year.For this matter, the brothers of the Wang family often scolded the steward of the carpenter's shop for being ignorant.Even the third sister Wang who got married had to say a few words about the carpenter's workshop at her natal home.If you ask him, this Wang Xiaowu just doesn't know how to adapt.How could a carpenter be good at farming land? Not to mention the humble merchants, they still have to look for work everywhere.When the situation is better, you can still eat, but now the past few years have been worse than every year.

Second brother Wang followed from behind, and he was also going to participate in some labor meeting in the yamen.He has a good foundation and a strong body, which just fits the bill.If selected, all the children in the family can go to that kind of enlightenment class.The peasants would never dare to think about such a precious thing as reading.

He didn't quite understand what the little scholar said about those who know carpenters and know how to go for an interview, but he knew that there was a need for carpenters in the yamen.He didn't care about signing up by himself, and immediately came back to inform his brother.His younger brother was different from his brothers since he was a child, and he loved wood since he was a child.When his father was alive, he always said that his fifth brother was the reincarnation of Lu Ban.

It's not that the brothers have never laughed at this younger brother, but every time they see his serious appearance, they cringe and cringe as usual, and they don't even dare to speak aloud. It's so different.Gradually, they also felt that their fifth younger brother was the reincarnation of Lu Ban, and he would definitely achieve great things.

"Wang Tutu, stop talking nonsense! Believe it or not, I tore your mouth!" The second brother Wang stared at his bull's eyes, and rushed to Wang Tutu like a hill, scaring Wang Tutu almost to the ground.

He quickly picked up the firewood and spat at Wang Xiaowu's feet, "Bah, what the hell!"

Second brother Wang was so angry that he wanted to punch this bear, but Wang Xiaowu stopped him, "Second brother, in fact, what Brother Tutu said is also right. Maybe I should farm the land honestly, but... it's just me Still a little unwilling." Wang Xiaowu looked lonely, his love for carpentry seemed to be engraved in his soul.No matter how hard life is, as long as he picks up wood, he can immerse himself in a world that is indifferent to the world.Wang Xiaowu never felt that he was poor, on the contrary, he always felt that he was extremely rich.

However, the reality told him that if he wanted to live, he could no longer continue carpentry.And he couldn't rely on his carpentry skills to support himself.In order to take care of him, the eldest brother married a woman and gave birth to a baby without separating.The second elder brother didn't even mention his daughter-in-law, he was afraid that after marrying, he would not only take care of the small family, but also support everyone, and suffer.

The three brothers in the family live together, and the married third sister still helps out from time to time.For this reason, the husband's family of the third sister spoke a lot to the third sister, and the life of the third sister was not easy.

"Man, man, don't be such a bitch!" Second brother Wang slapped Wang Xiaowu's thin shoulder, and Wang Xiaowu grinned in pain, "The yamen gave you a chance in front of you, this time you If you don't go, will you be willing?"

That's right, if he doesn't go this time, is he willing to do so?

Either way, you can never go wrong with trying.After figuring it out, the two brothers walked towards the county government together shoulder to shoulder. Second brother Wang thought to Wang Xiaowu that if either of them could join the "Labor Union", he would let the eldest brother's second son go to school.

Wang Xiaowu pursed his lips, and said, "The eldest girl can go with the second child, and when the third girl grows up, she can also be sent in."

Second brother Wang slapped him again, and said with a smile, "Da Ya and San Yatou are girls, how can they go to school like the second boy? Are you stupid for making wooden chairs these days?"

Wang Xiaowu didn't speak, he touched his back secretly, it should be a lot of red...

His second brother is good at everything, but his actions are not serious, hey, distressed...

Registration was booming outside the county government office, while Zhao Keran huddled in the kitchen and directed Huo Yuan to do free labor, turning the millstone for him.

He put the soaked beans into the grinder, added some water from time to time, and the milky white soybean milk flowed down the cracks.

Zhao Keran boiled the soy milk. After the soy milk was cooked, he filled a bowl and drank it, and he didn't forget to fill a bowl for Huo Yuan.Zhao Keran likes to add sugar to soy milk, the sweet taste is delicious.Now he doesn't have any sugar, but the beans are grown in the spiritual realm, and the beans have a strong aroma, giving them a special taste.

Huo Yuan did not expect that soybeans would turn into milk. When he was leading the army at Qingyuguan, he had seen Xijue people drink milk.It seemed to be the milk of a black and white cow, but he didn't like the taste very much.

This soy milk is pretty good.

Zhao Keran kept some soy milk, enough for other people in the yamen to drink a small bowl, but when he found that the soy milk was not enough, he urged Huo Yuan to grind some more.

Boil another pot of soy milk and let the soy milk cool down a bit.He took out the raw gypsum that Fang Zhongyuan bought at the pharmacy, burned it with fire, evaporated its water, and turned it into mature gypsum.Grind it into powder with a mortar.Add an appropriate amount of cold water to dissolve the powder in the water, which becomes brine.

Zhao Keran poured the brine into the cooled soymilk according to the proportion to make the tofu. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the soymilk solidified into tofu.Zhao Keran couldn't care less about eating tofu nao, and rushed to make tofu. He put the gauze into a tofu mold that could filter water, and then poured the tofu nao.

Finally, put a heavy object on it to squeeze out the excess yellow slurry water, so that the tofu brains are densely combined and shaped into tofu.

In fact, you can also use brine to order tofu, but he doesn't have it now, and he will ask for some when the Xu family drys the salt.The more salty tofu has a more chewy texture and a richer bean aroma, which is suitable for frying, frying, and stir-frying.The tofu in gypsum water is more tender than that in brine, so it is more suitable for soup.

While waiting for the tofu to be set, Zhao Keran made noodles, he wanted to make tofu rolls.

Delicious tender tofu with shallots as filling.Wrap it with dough and fry it in lard.The skin is crispy, the tofu is salty, and the taste is tender.Hiss, this is a delicacy!
