The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

"The harvest in the field always has to be resolved. It's unreasonable to let the grain rot for nothing."

"Otherwise you will accept it first, I think that the big guy probably doesn't want it." Tooth said.

"It's not good to say that there is no black and white.

Since this transaction was done by your dental office, it should be your dental office as a witness.

Why don't you go to the field with me today to see how much grain there is in total, after deducting the grain tax, workers, and how much the loss is, make an estimate.

In the future, when the Hejia Dalang comes back, he will be testified by the Yaxing clerk, which is also easy to explain. "

Yaren nodded in agreement: "This is a good way, but how to arrange the harvested grain?"

"My family can collect the remaining grain, but I can only collect it at [-]% off the market price. Is it possible?"

"It's natural. Miss Gu is willing to collect on her behalf, so that the food will not be rotten in the ground, and the [-]% should be saved."

In addition, the grain merchants who go to the village to collect grain are also undercutting the price. It is benevolent to be able to give a [-]% discount to the market price.

The tooth man was talking, and it happened that Gu Danian also came back, and the three of them went to the field as soon as they arrived.

Gu Qi didn't know anything about harvesting grain in the fields. Fortunately, Gu Danian was a veteran.After deducting taxes and damages, we could still have four and a half shi of wheat, and a good variety of corn yields a lot, and after deducting taxes and grains, there are still three shi.

The total market price was ninety-two or seven, and the Gu family charged it at [-]% of the price.The tooth man is the master, and the fraction is wiped off and counted as the wages for harvesting and drying the grain, and the rest is a total of six taels.

There are spare market coupons and banknotes on Yaren's donkey cart. (The market coupon is a contract whose format and text are uniformly prescribed by the government, similar to the official format version of the contract.)

He simply wrote down the grain collection agreement and the reasons for the three parties, and gave Gu Qi a receipt: "Today, I have received six taels of grain and money, keep the receipt, and the City Coupon Yaxing and you each keep a copy.

When the silver money is waiting for the Hejia Dalang to return, the Yaxing will send someone to deliver it.This matter is also clear. "

......

"The grain of the four acres of land will be our family's in the future." Farewell to the tooth man, Gu Danian said anxiously: "Then we have to hurry up to collect it, or it will be wasted if it is too late."

"Hire a few day laborers together, don't be afraid to spend money."

"No need..." Gu Danian was still a little bit reluctant to part with the money. In the past, when the family collected food, no one would spend extra money to hire people.

Just thinking about the fact that there are only two laborers at home, myself and my daughter, and my daughter doesn't seem to be able to help.It was really too late not to collect the wheat, so he could only nod his head in agreement.

......

After lunch, Gu Qi was going to talk to Gu Danian about inviting Mr. Song Lao.

The two discussed to prepare rice noodles and pork, and then asked Mrs. Qin's family to change a basket of eggs, sealed the gift money with red paper, staggered the lunch break time for the elderly in the village, and Gu Danian brought them to the house to invite them.

Just as Village Chief Li said, Song Laoxiu is a kind person. Seeing that the Gu family's sincerity and rules are good, he will let it go.

On September [-]th, marriage is forbidden, and it is advisable to start construction, break ground, and build.Exactly five days later.

The next day, Gu Danian asked two farmers in the village who were willing to work as part-time workers to help.The three of them are good hands in the field, and they are used to doing this. After working all day from morning to night, they harvested all the food in the field and packed them in sacks.Let the scalper carry it into the Gu family's yard.

To collect food and work hard, Gu Qi gave each person 35 wen a day compared to the money of a big worker, plus a lunch and an evening meal.It is a pancake made of rice flour mixed with white flour, with two vegetarian meals and one meat meal.

The family conditions of the two farmers were average, and they could earn an extra 35 cents a day in wages, and they were naturally happy after having two meals of such good food.To put it bluntly, if there is such a job in the future, I must call them both.

Gu Qi thought that after the construction of the house will start, the manpower needed is probably only a lot more, so he said: "The house will be built in a few days, and manpower is needed, you can come.

However, the wages are only 30 cents a day, and they only provide one lunch. "

"Come, come."

At this time, many people's busy farming has ended.Most of those with poor conditions at home should also be prepared to go to town to work as part-time jobs.It is not easy to find part-time jobs in the town, usually only 25 to 30 cents a day's wages, and those who haven't seen them can manage their meals.

Generally speaking, it is naturally the best to be able to find work in the village.

"If you have someone you know to do, you can also call them together." Gu Danian had already hired masters to repair and build houses in advance, but these masters did not include short-term laborers.

In the era without the help of industrial machinery, the most direct way to speed up the progress is to increase the number of people.Although there is a lot of loss in wages, it is worthwhile to shorten the construction period.

......

Time flies in a blink of an eye and it is September [-]th.

On this day, the father and daughter of the Gu family hadn't been lighted for two days, so they smeared up early on the side of the house to put on the tribute table and put incense and scripture tribute.

When the workers arrived at [-]:[-] a.m., Gu Danian lit firecrackers.

The crackling sound of firecrackers caused the entire Xiaoqi villagers to wake up and come to watch the fun.

"Whose land is this, there is such a big movement?"

In the crowd, a young man with a half-open collar, a weed in his mouth, a dark complexion, about eighteen or nineteen years old, swayed and walked in.
