Chapter 297

Wei Lian's eyes lit up when she heard that she had a job to do.

Since he Li, she has been afraid to go out, afraid of the village people pointing at her, has been hiding at home.

"What kind of work?"

After asking, afraid of Xia Xi's repentance, he immediately said, "I'm not afraid of dirty work."

"When I raise seedlings, the fire in the Kang cave can't be put out for a moment. I don't trust to leave it to others. If sister Wei Lian is willing, can she come and help me watch it then?"

"Yes

Wei Lian did not want to agree.

"It's not you, it's others, it's all up to you. Don't make mistakes."

Wei Lian wanted to pat her chest and promised, "this bag is on me. I can carry it if I don't sleep for three or five days."

In Zhangjia, every time after the harvest, the whole family went home to have a good sleep, leaving her alone in the wheat field to watch and work as usual during the day.

"That's not necessary. I'll arrange it then."

Wei Lian's face showed her first smile for a long time, "listen to you."

The village head's daughter-in-law is also very happy. Just about to say something, Xia Xi has turned to her, "aunt, I have something to trouble you."

"If there's any trouble or no trouble, just say it."

"You help me to find some capable women and go to the workshop to pick up sweet potatoes for me to raise seedlings."

"I'm going now!"

The village head's daughter-in-law spoke and walked out.

"I'll go too."

Wei Lian followed.

In the twinkling of an eye, only Xia Xi was left in the room.

He shook his head with a smile.

……

The village head leads boss Huo and his son back.

Huo Hong never spoke.

Huo boss full of praise for Xia Xi, "Xia Niang Zi is really capable, can come up with such a way to raise seedlings."

"Who said it wasn't?"

Then they entered the door.

Hearing the sound, Xia Xi goes out from the house and waits in the hall.

The village head carries the curtain, and boss Huo goes in. When he sees Xia Xi, he can't wait to say, "Lady Xia, we have to make a contract. All the vermicelli in your workshop will be sold to me in the future."

Boss Huo has also considered this problem. Once people don't have sweet potatoes in their homes in summer, the vermicelli workshop won't be able to open. I didn't expect that Xia Xi would be able to raise seedlings and have sweet potatoes in spring. In this way, he will have vermicelli all year round.

Xia Xi smiles and answers, "this may not work."

Boss Huo was stunned. Huo Hong also looked at her.

Xia Xi stretched out her hand and motioned for several people to sit down. "I have a business friend who is in Beijing. I have promised him that I will sell this vermicelli to him. However, you can rest assured that I only sell him a small part and keep most of it for you. "

Huo boss relief, ha ha a smile, "or summer lady straightforward, so decided, in a few days, I will let people come to pull vermicelli."

"Let's wait a few more days. I have promised my friend to give him two thousand jin first."

Boss Huo does business all the year round and listens to the voice. How can he not know that this is because after Huo Hong said that, Xia Xi found another seller and nodded, "OK, how about half a month later?"

"Yes."

……

On the carriage back, Huo Hong was sitting in danger.

Boss Huo leaned lazily on the wall of the car and looked at his son, "hong'er, how do you feel today?"

"It's my shortsightedness."

In Huo Hong's opinion, this kind of business is dispensable. Therefore, Huo Hong said that to Xia Xi after seeing his father hurt because of this kind of money.

"Apart from being short-sighted, you are too arbitrary in dealing with things. Fortunately, we met lady Xia, who is generous and doesn't care about us. Otherwise, we can't do this vermicelli business any more. So in the future, we should leave room for ourselves and not cut off our own way. "

"I remember."

……

Here, after boss Huo left, Xia Xi went to the workshop.

The village head's daughter-in-law had already found someone to come over. Xia Xi picked up a few different sweet potatoes from the sweet potato pile and showed them to the public, "you just pick them up like this, and you don't want anything else."

Several women answered and began to pick up sweet potatoes.

After Wei Qian was asked to work, Xia Xi wanted to go to the new workshop.

Wei Qian stopped her, "people are doing hot work. They take off their coats and show their arms. It's not suitable for you in the past."

Now is the time to tamp. Four people pull the rope and tamp the foundation hard. They use a lot of strength and sweat all over their body. They want to take off their clothes. If Xia Xi passes by this time, won't the workers be scared? Besides, it's not good for Xia Xi's reputation.

"Good."

Knowing that Wei Qian was for her good, Xia Xi said with a smile, "I won't go there. I'll go to the wasteland to have a look."

"I've been with you..."

Wei Qiangang wanted to say that he would accompany him in the past, but he also wanted to collect sweet potatoes. He changed his mouth and said, "let my father accompany you in the past."

"No, I'll go and have a look. If there's nothing wrong, I'll go straight back to the county and come back tomorrow."

……

The wasteland of Zhoujia village.

Everyone seemed to compete. They worked hard one by one. After two days, a lot of wasteland had been cleared up.

Village head Zhou turned his back on the wasteland to see who did not do well, so he asked him to rework. This was a chance that Zhoujiacun got. We should not be careless.

Hearing the sound of the horse's hooves, he turned back and saw Xia Xi's carriage. He immediately bumped over. When Xia Xi got off the carriage, he came forward with a smile, "Lady Xia, you're here."

"I'll come and have a look."

"It should be."

Then he turned and pointed to the wasteland, "look, a lot has been cleared up. Don't worry. I'm watching. No one dares to be lazy. "

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

The head of Zhou Village waved his hand. "Lady Xia is polite. If it wasn't for you, the villagers wouldn't have the chance to earn money."

Zhou Village head's daughter-in-law and two women came from afar. They were all carrying a wooden bucket with hot air. Seeing Xia Xi's carriage, Zhou Village head's daughter-in-law brightened her eyes and quickened her pace. Seeing that Xia Xi was going to the wasteland, she quickly yelled, "Xia Niang!"

Xia Xi stops and looks back.

Zhou Village head's daughter-in-law quickly picked up the bucket in front of her, put it down, and did not care to wipe the sweat on her face. She bent down to take out a pottery bowl from one of the buckets, scooped half a bowl of water in the other bucket, and politely handed it to her, "Xia Niang Zi, thirsty, drink a bowl of water."

Village head Zhou

He glared at her and motioned her not to say anything.

Zhou's daughter-in-law thought she didn't see it and said with a smile, "this water is just for drinking."

Xia Xi waved, "thank you, I'm not thirsty."

Zhou Village head daughter-in-law handed the bowl forward, "you come all the way here, how can you not be thirsty, drink a bowl."

"I'm not really thirsty. You'd better give them a drink."

"Of course, I have to give them a drink. You don't know. I'll give them water back this morning and in the afternoon. I'm afraid they will be thirsty after they've done a lot of work. If they don't have the strength, they won't be able to do the work, which will delay your work."

"Thank you very much."

Zhou Village head's daughter-in-law took the bowl back, poured the water back into the bucket, put the bowl back, straightened up, looked at Xia Xi's face, "it doesn't matter if you're grateful, just give me some money."
