Chapter 609: No Favors Owe

Zhao Sanniang thought for a moment, and suddenly her eyes lit up,

"I once heard the child's aunt brag that there is a business in the county that specializes in hatching ducklings and selling them. It is said that they use some kind of fire attack method, which is said to be magical. My sister-in-law also knows that my sister-in-law and I don't get along, but I don't know where it is.

Listening to Zhao Sanniang's reminder, Bai Yunxi expressed understanding,

"It doesn't matter. As long as someone does this business, it's easy to find out. I'll go to the county later. "

As for the fire attack method, it is actually to heat the duck eggs and make a fire bed. Let the duck eggs be heated evenly, turn them over from time to time, and control the temperature. After a cycle of 28 days, the duck eggs will hatch.

The same is true for chicks, but it only takes 21 days for the chicks to break out of the shell.

She had been in contact with a hatchery before. In addition to using fire to control the temperature, there is actually a safer method, the water bed, which is to hatch with water. Just add hot water regularly to maintain the temperature.

If she can't find suitable ducklings, or the price is too high, she can hatch them herself.

After walking with Zhao Sanniang for a while, when passing by the entrance of their alley, Bai Yunxi rejected her invitation and took Wenyou home directly.

My cousin often walks in the county, and he should know something about the ducklings. I will ask him later and go to the county to see it in person.

When passing by Xiaofangzhuang, Bai Yunxi turned to take a look. Although the fields were rented out, she would help if there were difficulties in the fields. After all, it was related to collecting rent, and she couldn't really just leave it alone. Shopkeeper.

When they returned to the village entrance, it was already dusk, and the busy people on the slope began to pack up and prepare to go home.

According to the previous agreement, the wages were paid on a daily basis.

As soon as the two of them got home, Bai Anyan also came back with his people. Mrs. Du prepared hot water and benches for people to rest and wait for the payment.

As for the payment of wages, Bai Yunxi left it to the second brother to handle and did not participate.

Seeing his excitement in distributing wages to the workers, Bai Yunxi watched quietly. Since he had decided to use the family's land If he is given the job, there will be more and more labor-intensive work in the future. How to deal with people and how to know people are his compulsory courses.

Bai Anyan paid the wages and sent them out before returning in high spirits.

Although he was tired after a day, he was still full of energy. He couldn't help rubbing his hands when he walked to Bai Yunxi.

"Mom, we worked very hard today. Just a few of us have leveled the soil slope in front. We just need to clear the gravel. I estimate that it will be completed in three or four days. Mom, if you are free, come with me tomorrow to see where the rectification is needed. You can point it out to me on the spot."

Bai Yunxi saw the luster in his eyes and chuckled,

"I went to see Cui Zhangmo today and showed him the map of the factory. Tomorrow morning, they should be here.

"So soon? But it's good. In half a month, it will be the autumn harvest. Once everyone is busy, we won't be able to hire anyone. "

In addition to building the factory, they also have to hurry up to harvest. According to the Shennong planting manual, after the autumn harvest, it is time for winter wheat to grow.

"It doesn't matter. We will outsource the construction of the factory to the Cui family. They have a professional construction team. Just like last time, we don't care about anything. We just pay the money."

During this period, even if she wanted to participate in the construction of houses, she couldn't do anything.

The main reason was that many methods were different from what she learned. Those things and methods that disappeared in the long river of history opened her eyes and she had to admit the wisdom of the ancients.

Therefore, in addition to providing drawings and understanding the construction plan, she was not prepared to participate in the rest and left it to the master of the ink.

After the last house construction, Cui Zhangmo once sighed that she gave convenience and made his construction much easier.

In order to save a few dollars, some families asked villagers to help them, and they provided meals but did not pay. Because this not only saves a little money, but is also a custom in the village.

But at the same time, because of these people, the construction progress was slowed down, because some people were unwilling to listen to the master of the ink.

Sometimes conflicts would arise, causing a lot of trouble for the construction.

The work could have been completed earlier, but it was delayed by some people. However, the owner did not know that the little money she saved was almost all spent on food.

Bai Yunxi could understand this. There is a custom in the countryside that everyone helps each other when building a house, and only provides food without paying.

Building a house is a big event for the villagers. Families who are good friends with each other will come to help, and it has become a custom over time.

This situation has both advantages and disadvantages. Some are diligent and some are lazy, and the quality is uneven.

At the beginning, the second brother did mention the helper to her, but she always felt that hiring a helper also required food, and buying vegetables and cooking was too troublesome.

Although cooking for the helper does not need to be too particular, it is also impossible to let people point fingers at her. In their family, only Mrs. Du can cook delicious food. It would be too busy for her to cook with more than a dozen people.

In the end, she had to hire someone to cook, which was not only troublesome, but also tiring. Finally, she simply gave the whole thing to the Cui family, not caring about anything but paying the money.

Cui Zhangmo was the only one in charge of the entire site, and everyone listened to his orders. There was no obstruction in the process. In the end, not only did the progress speed up, but it also helped her save a lot of money.

Moreover, the whole process was very harmonious, without any arguments or conflicts.

Cui Zhangmo was grateful and helped them do some more chores. Not only did he ask his apprentice to help clean up the site, but he also built a pigpen behind the house with scraps.

The most important thing is that her family was not tied down by the house building. They still performed their duties and did what they should do. This was the outcome she was most happy to see.

Therefore, she still chose to take care of the whole construction of the duck farm and would not ask the villagers to help. After that, when the villagers built the house, they could also stay at home and save trouble.

The next day,

Mrs. Du got up just after dawn and prepared breakfast for everyone.

After eating and drinking, the second child went to the slope first, and waited for people to arrive and continued to work.

Bai Yunxi rested at home for a while, and also took Wenyou there. Today, she made an appointment with Cui Zhangmo to check the slope. She was the host and could not let people wait for him.

Mrs. Du still cleaned up the housework at home and boiled hot water for the workers. Bai Anjing took Yaya and carried a kettle and ran twice a day to deliver water to people.

Everyone worked hard and sweated a lot. It was necessary to replenish water in time. Bai Yunxi also specifically told Mrs. Du to put a piece of sugar in the water to increase people's physical strength.

At 3:30 pm, Cui Zhangmo arrived with his son in a bullock cart.

Bai Yunxi called the second son over and asked him to come along to listen to opinions.

No matter how big or small the matter is, the more you handle it, the easier it will be to handle it later.
