Chapter 108 Zhuangzi

Soon the group arrived at the farm. Read М

The head of the farm came quickly. He welcomed the group into the yard.

This time, knowing that this farm belonged to his daughter, Father Su felt that his back straightened a lot, and he was no longer as cautious as before.

He was in the mood to look at the farm along the way.

Every time he came before, he had never been to the owner's yard. This time, when he came in, he looked carefully and felt that this yard was much larger than the two-story yard his daughter bought in town.

There must be three or four stories. There are many rooms, a front yard, a backyard, a garden, a pavilion, a carriage house, a tool room, and a large warehouse in the backyard for storing grain. A very large cellar was also dug in the yard.

Father Su was taken by the head of the farm to visit and praised all the way.

It turned out that the landlord's master even built a farm better than other people's houses. This should be just a place to stay and relax occasionally, but it is so well decorated that the furniture in the house is also left.

Su Qingmei nodded all the way. She was very satisfied with this manor.

After learning some information from Liu Zhuangtou, she had a clear idea in her mind.

When this manor was acquired, the manor servants and tenants in the manor were also kept. Except for two manor servants who returned to the Xu family. The others stayed. The tenants also re-signed the lease.

The manor servants who stayed were also well-behaved.

Those who were put in the manor were generally only able to manage the fields. When they returned to the Xu family, they were just sent to another manor. If you get used to staying in this manor, you will have to live the same life in other places. Why move around? Besides, you have been in contact with the people nearby for so many years and are familiar with them. If you move to another place, you will have to integrate again and may be squeezed out.

The remaining few manor servants did not leave.

The original village head and his family returned to the Xu family. Xu Shaoyan gave her the indenture of the village servants. She listened to Xu Shaoyan's words, chose a loyal and honest man to be the owner of the village, and entrusted the village to him.

At this time, Su Qingmei was very satisfied when she heard Liu Zhuangtou reporting the situation to her with the account book.

At this time, she had settled Su's father and others, Xiaobao was asleep, and Xiao Qingxing was taken to visit the village by the owner's granddaughter. Su's father and Su Dahu also went out for a walk.

Su Qingmei listened to the village head talking about the situation in the village, and met the several village servants who stayed one by one. After encouraging them, they left.

Liu Zhuangtou stayed and told her what to do next.

Because of their indentures and cooperation with Xu Shaoyan, Su Qingmei believed that they knew the importance and would not leak secrets or do something inappropriate.

Liu Zhuangtou was very happy after hearing Su Qingmei's instructions.

Who wouldn't be happy to do more work and earn extra income?

"Don't worry, Master. I will pick people right away. I will definitely pick people who are quick, clean and don't talk too much. Don't worry about their loyalty. Those who stay are honest and have no connections. They are all people who live a decent life. Besides, I will help you to watch over them, and I will definitely not delay your business."

Su Qing'an nodded: "My last name is Su, so I will call you Madam Su from now on. I may not come here often. The two people just now are my father from my mother's side and my cousin from my mother's side. They will come forward in the future. On the Xu family side, Master Xu will send someone close to him to contact you. If you have any business in the future, you can ask someone to send it back to Fengting Town and report to me."

"Yes. Madam Su, don't worry. I will definitely get it done."

Su Qing'an nodded with satisfaction.

After saying a few more words, he let him go. She had only been sitting in the room for half an hour, and Master Liu had found ten people. There were men, women, young and old.

Liu Zhuangtou saw that Su Qingmei didn't say anything, and felt a little uneasy.

Seeing Su Qingmei looking at the two half-grown girls in the crowd, he said with fear and trepidation: "Madam Su, these two children are not just to make up the numbers. They are really quick and nimble, and they work seriously. I think it would be best if every family contributed, so that every family can get some subsidy. The families of these two children, their adults..."

The two half-grown girls, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old, thought that Su Qingmei didn't want them, and they knelt on the ground in fear, and kept kowtowing: "Madam, madam, please be kind, we won't delay the work, we won't delay the work..."

Su Qingmei stroked her forehead, she hadn't said anything yet.

"Get up first."

Seeing the two girls trembling, they didn't dare to raise their heads, and sighed: "I didn't say I didn't need you. I just didn't expect it. And the wages I pay for this job are different from others. I pay according to the type of work, piecework."

Piecework? Isn't it calculated by day? What is piecework?

The ten people called by the village head looked at each other in bewilderment.

When the village head went to inform each family just now, everyone was happy. Who wouldn't be happy to get another income for the family?

And there is no need to go to other places, right in the village, close to home and can make money, everyone wants to earn money. But this batch only needs ten people. Each family can send one or two people at most.

"Yes, according to the different work, the piecework is calculated. For example, some people are drying, some are washing and cutting, some are burning fire, and some are chopping wood. The heavier the work, the more wages, so if everyone is washing and cutting, others cut 100 catties a day, and you cut 60 catties a day, others will get more money than you. And the wages are paid daily."

After saying this, everyone understood. The village head admired Su Qingmei even more.

He was just thinking about how to allocate the labor when Su Niangzi handed the job to him. They have been partners for so many years. Who should do the heavy work and who should do the light work? Even if they take turns, they will be complained by others.

Unexpectedly, Su Niangzi divided the wages according to the weight of the work and the amount of work done.

This is really great.

Now there should be no complaints, and no one will procrastinate. And the wages are paid daily. After the work is over, it is clear who gets more and who gets less. Who is diligent and who is lazy is also obvious to all.

He doesn't need to supervise. Those who get less money will be beaten by the family when they go home. You are not the only one who can work at home. If you don't want to work, go back to the fields to carry manure and change people. I guess no one dares to be lazy. Those who get less money will be embarrassed.

Liu Zhuangtou was full of admiration. It was decided that the monthly salary for the servants would be paid according to their contribution and work, so that the honest and hardworking people would not suffer any loss.

The selected people were excited. In this way, they could take more money home if they worked more every day. The two girls were also competing secretly. They would not be worse than others. They would definitely not drag their feet and would definitely work more and better than others.

Su Qingmei said something else, such as asking for quality in addition to quantity. We cannot just ask for more and ignore quality requirements. If the products are not up to standard, we will also deduct money.

After giving some instructions, everyone was asked to try out for a day tomorrow. Then everyone went back.
