Chapter 141 Lack of Manpower

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the business is even better. Many people want to buy vegetables and meat from Chashui Village for the Chinese New Year.

The more it gets to this time, the more stretched it is, and Chashui Village also needs things for the New Year, so it's only January, and almost all the things have been ordered.

Wei Jingze, the chicken coop, is going to sell 200 chickens. The chickens collected this summer are about the same age and can be sold. After the spring of next year, the more than 300 chicks hatched earlier will also grow up. It is almost ready to lay eggs, and the remaining [-] chickens have to deal with sales in the coming year. This thing of raising chickens and hatching eggs really cannot be stopped!

So this day, while Pan Jingui was busy here, Wei Jingze mentioned the matter of hiring her to raise chickens.

"Sister Gui, I think your health has improved a lot. At the beginning of the new year, all my chickens hatched. When the chicken coop needs people, can you come to the chicken coop to work?"

Pan Jingui smiled when he heard this: "Okay! Why not? I was just about to tell you about this! I think I'm much better now, especially when I'm doing work and moving my legs and feet, I feel much better."

Wei Jingze nodded: "That's good. If you agree, we will sign a contract at that time. Your treatment will be the same as Congcong's. You will try it out first. After working for a month, if there is no problem, you will become a full-time employee and get a salary increase." .”

Pan Jingui nodded again and again: "Hey, yes, yes, of course!"

Pan Jingui is eager to get this job. If he hadn't come to Wei Jingze to work here for more than ten days, he would probably be able to get a few hundred yuan by the end of the Chinese New Year, because it is really easy to spray codes on eggs. work.These few hundred yuan are already very good for the two daughters to celebrate the new year.Pan Jingui didn't want her daughter to feel that her parents were worse than others after her parents got divorced. Not to mention buying new clothes and giving red envelopes, they all cost money.By the beginning of the new year, the two daughters still have to go to school, and they have to pay for books and the like, all of which are short of money.

Being a single mother is not easy, let alone taking care of two daughters.

"By the way, do you need people to work during the Chinese New Year?"

During the Chinese New Year, people can rest, but the ones raised at home have to eat, so even if it is the first day of the new year, they can't get any rest.

Wei Jingze hadn't asked Yang Tianjian and Liang Cong yet, and he didn't know if they would go home for the New Year.

"I'll ask about this, but I'm not sure yet."

"If you need someone to work, remember to find me."

"It's Chinese New Year, why don't you take a break?"

Wei Jingze felt that after the divorce, Pan Jingui looked very hard-working. He really felt like he was asking for money urgently.

Pan Jingui smiled and said: "My matter is so big that someone will definitely talk about it during the Chinese New Year, so I'd better avoid it. Others don't talk about it, and I myself will be clean."

Wei Jingze felt speechless, it was hard to stop the mouth of the crowd, and you really had nothing to do if others wanted to gossip, it was understandable that Pan Jingui wanted to hide from work.

"Then I'll ask Yang Tianjian and the others."

Wei Jingze really needs to think about the Chinese New Year in advance. During the Chinese New Year, people can't stop them from going back to celebrate the New Year, which means that there will be more things for their own family.

When asked about this, Yang Tianjian said: "My parents wanted me to go back to celebrate the New Year, but I thought, if I'm not here, how can you take care of more than 60 pigs?"

Wei Jingze said: "You haven't been back for more than half a year. If you really miss home, go back and have a look. The old man is also worried about you. You don't have to worry about the pigpen. At worst, I'll get Chen Han to work together. "

The main purpose of Yang Tianjian's coming to work was to pay off his debts. Because of his injury, his family owed a lot of money.After working for more than half a year, I also made some money and paid off all the debts. As long as this job continues, I don't have to worry about paying off the debt.The only downside is that it's a bit far away from home, and I don't have much time to go back and visit my parents.

Yang Tianjian must also be homesick, seeing what Wei Jingze said, he agreed without much consideration.

Wei Jingze joked: "Let me tell you first, working during Chinese New Year is three times the usual salary! Don't blame me for not telling you in advance."

Yang Tianjian smiled and said: "Money can be earned slowly, parents still need to go back and have a look."

Wei Jingze felt relieved.

As for Liang Cong, he must ask Pan Zhuangniu for his opinion.

Pan Zhuangniu is also worried about this matter: "If he is not allowed to go home for the New Year, their family will definitely not be able to justify it. After all, Congcong is not my son. Let him go back for the New Year. I am worried that he will be bullied, and he himself is stupid. , there is no way to tell me one, three, five."

Pan Zhuangniu had already considered this matter.

Wei Jingze always felt that Pan Zhuangniu took care of this nephew, and there would definitely be troubles in the future. Liang Cong could get a salary for working every month, so wouldn't his own father and stepmother keep an eye on him?Even if Pan Zhuangniu is the uncle, he is not the first guardian. Legally speaking, Liang Cong's money should still be handed over to his own father.

Wei Jingze thought for a while, and said: "How about this, you ask him to go back to have a New Year's Eve dinner on New Year's Eve, and come to your house again on New Year's Day, and say that I need people to work here and can't stay at home for long. "

Pan Zhuangniu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "That's okay, I think it's good, so he doesn't have to stay at home for so long. Also, I didn't tell his father about his salary. It is estimated that the family is only a few hundred yuan a month, so don't let it slip by then!"

Wei Jingze felt a headache for a while, this matter is not that simple.Pan Jingui wanted to come to work with me, and I had already told her that she was treated the same as Liang Cong. Even if Pan Jingui didn't tell her, there was no guarantee that other interested people would not find out?For rural people, a few thousand yuan a month is certainly not a small amount of money.Even if Pan Zhuangniu wants to keep the money, he has no identity or reason!

"This... I can only guarantee that I will not speak out, but I cannot guarantee others. I advise you to separate Congcong as soon as possible. Doesn't he still have a younger brother and a younger sister? His father took his money and went to There is no reason for outsiders to interfere with subsidizing the two small ones."

Pan Zhuangniu was speechless. In a situation like Liang Cong's, it's fine to be independent, but the key is that his own brain doesn't work either!

It's really powerless.

The law in China is like this. Even if parents try to kill their children, they still have the obligation to support them when they are old, so it is quite tricky.

For people like Liang Cong, from a legal point of view, it is really difficult to break away from that family.

"Uncle Niu, I can take the blame for you, and I can help, but there are some things that I can't just take the blame for."

Pan Zhuangniu himself is doing well, so Gu Nian's deceased sister's child is also worthy of praise, but he can't deceive others.

Pan Zhuangniu knew that he couldn't offend Wei Jingze too hard, and he had to rely on Wei Jingze's help if he wanted to sell his eel and loach at a high price.

You don't have to worry about the chicken coop. With Liang Cong and Pan Jingui, the two of them will take turns to take care of it during the Chinese New Year, so there won't be any problems.

These more than 300 chicks are still hatching and will be hatched before the Chinese New Year.Newly hatched chicks also need to be watched from time to time, and it is much better to have two people on shifts.

What is more stressful this winter is the feed for cattle. Even the pigs don’t have to worry too much, because there are milk vetch in the fields and green manure plants in the mountains. They all grow well, so just cut them back.And the pig is not a big pig, and its appetite is not that big.

Wei Jingze originally thought that if he raised so many pigs, it would be fine during the Chinese New Year, and there would be no shortage of pigs after the next year, but he didn't expect that the demand for this year would expand much more than he imagined.

Next year, we have to find a way to expand the scale of the pig house.At that time, Yang Tianjian would be too busy alone, so he had to find someone to do the work.

Thinking of these things, Wei Jingze felt that next year would be too busy to stop.

But as long as you can make money, it's okay to be busy.

At the end of January, when Wei Jingze was busy with killing pigs and making glutinous rice cakes at home, Aunt Huixian came to see Wei Jingze.

"Ozawa, I have weighed my sheep, and they weigh over 90 catties. Do you think they can be sold?"

Aunt Huixian raised sheep by buying lambs from other people’s homes. The price is not low, so she gritted her teeth and bought more than a dozen. Now four or five months have passed, and the sheep have grown up a bit , is exactly the size of the little fat sheep that everyone likes to eat.

Wei Jingze hurriedly asked, "What? Want to sell the sheep?"

Aunt Huixian nodded: "Let's sell it, the New Year needs money! After the New Year, I will buy some lambs and bring them back to raise."

Aunt Huixian’s family took care of the ten or so sheep as if they were serving their ancestors. They had to raise the sheep before they could eat. After making sure the number of sheep was correct, they could sleep peacefully when there was nothing wrong. This was almost the daily life of Aunt Huixian’s family. .

Except for accidentally letting two sheep run away last time, nothing like this has happened since then. Finally, An An raised the sheep to their present size.

"Sell them all, or save a few to sell after the new year?"

"This... I didn't think about it, what do you think?"

Wei Jingze scratched his head, he didn't have any idea, it's very easy to sell to the Emperor, just send the whole sheep over, they can do it themselves, I don't know what will happen to Chen Han, the restaurant is not open during the Chinese New Year, It's too late to get any mutton hot pot at this time, and I guess I won't ask for a lot.

"Well, I'll go back and discuss with them to see how much they want. If you want all of them, you'll sell them all. If you don't want so much, you'll raise the rest first. When spring comes, the restaurant will definitely want them all." Sheep, it’s just a question of sooner or later, what do you think?”

Aunt Huixian nodded quickly and said, "That's fine! I'll listen to you."

Wei Jingze hurriedly asked Jiang Yanzong to discuss it. Jiang Yanzong thought about it and said: "This matter is easy to handle. About two sheep were enough for Chen Han's side a year ago. The imperial capital sent ten sheep over there, and the remaining few goats , it will be used by the restaurant after the Chinese New Year.”

This is called no matter what, think about your own restaurant first.Don't worry that there will be no sheep in the restaurant after the year, just think about the use of sheep in the restaurant after the year.

Wei Jingze said, "That's fine, I'll go talk to Aunt Huixian."
