"Brother, please leave me alone. I am free and easy alone..."
Liu Shitou stood up and left. He didn't know whether it was because he was embarrassed or because he really didn't want to find him. In short, every time Zhang Tiezhu mentioned this issue, he would make excuses and walk away.
"This person is so tall and big, how come he looks like a girl..."
Zhang Tiezhu had no choice but to shake his head and leave.
Yu Chengzhang came three days later.
This guy was carrying two big bags of clothes, even winter clothes. He seemed to be ready for a protracted war here.
Zhang Tiezhu directly arranged for him to live in a courtyard. The place had just been completed and had not been cleaned yet, so he asked Yu Chengzhang to move in.
"Brother Yu, the conditions here are not very good now, but I promise you, they will definitely get better and better in the future..."
Looking at the empty house that had just been cleaned, Zhang Tiezhu was a little embarrassed.
"Boss Zhang, what are you talking about? It's very nice to have a new house like this for me to live in. Don't worry, I will do a good job..."
Yu Chengzhang is telling the truth, because this house is much better than the house he lived in Yujiazhai.
The courtyard house here is different from the ordinary courtyard house. The entrance doors of the houses in three directions are outside the courtyard house. Only the entrance doors of the three rooms facing the south are inside the courtyard house.
Therefore, what Zhang Tiezhu will do in the courtyard in the future, the workers living in the houses in the three directions outside will not be able to see the situation inside the courtyard.
Yu Chengzhang lives in a house outside the courtyard.
At this time, Zhang Tiezhu called Yu Datou and asked Yu Datou to use wood and bamboo to build a bed for Yu Chengzhang.
This kind of bed made of wood and bamboo is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is the most common simple bed in the mountains. Although it is simple, it is comfortable to sleep on. The only drawback is that if there is too much movement at night, it will creak.
stop.
"Brother Yu, how do you plan to solve the problem of traditional Chinese medicine seedlings for me?" Zhang Tiezhu asked.
"Boss, you don't need to worry. I have already thought about it. I will go to the mountains to collect herbs in the past few days. I will collect more precious medicinal materials. Then I will use these wild medicinal materials to cultivate seedlings. The medicinal materials grown will definitely be better than
Ordinary medicinal materials are much better..."
"Okay, then you take two people with you, and I will charge you the market price for the precious Chinese herbal medicines you pick..."
"This, how can this be allowed? I am already your worker, and the medicine I collect belongs to you, the boss, of course. I can't charge you, so how can I still charge you? It's absolutely not allowed..."
Yu Chengzhang shook his head desperately. He was here to help and repay his kindness. It was really unreasonable to charge for medicine after receiving wages.
"Okay, that's it, it's decided, do as I say..."
Zhang Tiezhu interrupted him.
There was no way he could take advantage of Yu Chengzhang. The precious Chinese medicine he collected was very precious.
At this time, Zhang Tiezhu looked at Liu Shitou who was setting up the bed and said: "Shitou, don't you want to cut the medicine? From now on, you will hang out with Brother Yu. You will be responsible for the management of the workers, and Brother Yu will be responsible for the technology of planting medicinal materials. Just wait."
Find two young people in the village who can collect herbs and let them work together in the planting field..."
"Okay, okay, I'm good at recruiting workers..."
Liu Shitou immediately agreed with a smile.
When recruiting workers in such a closed rural area, there must be many people who want to join.
I can get my salary on time every month, and I don’t have to be separated from my family all year round like those who work outside. Who wouldn’t want such a good thing?
"Also, in a few days, I will go find a dozen women. This wasteland should be plowed. I will give them the wages of doing small work. I will find the money after every day..."
In order to increase women's enthusiasm for working, Zhang Tiezhu planned to give them cash for every day they worked.
"Brother Shackles, you are too, too straightforward. When others do things, they always settle the bill after they are done..." Even Liu Shitou felt that Zhang Tiezhu was a bit too honest.
"It's okay, they are all from the village, there is no need to take advantage of the situation..."
Zhang Tiezhu doesn't care, as long as he helps himself get things done, it doesn't matter if he pays him early or later.
"Okay then..." Liu Shitou had no choice but to nod in agreement.
At this time, Zhang Tiezhu said again: "From now on, the workers will eat here. You go to the town today to buy some supplies, and then invite a woman who knows how to cook to come over and cook for everyone."
"Okay, brother, please don't make such detailed arrangements. You've already made all the arrangements. I feel like a manager like me is like a waste." Liu Shitou said awkwardly.
Zhang Tiezhu even took care of things like eating and sleeping. Liu Shitou really felt that he had no taste at all as a manager.
"Okay, well, if you need money, just take the card and withdraw it. Just write a note and give it to my senior sister for how much money you have withdrawn. My senior sister will take care of the money from now on."
"I got it, don't be nagging, go and play with yourself..." Liu Shitou waved his hand.
Zhang Tiezhu had said it several times about letting Lin Mei take care of the money, and Liu Shitou felt annoyed.
Zhang Tiezhu was really speechless. This was his territory. He didn't expect Liu Shitou to drive him away.
"Your sister, you are so arrogant. If you don't take care of me, I will kick you to death..."
Zhang Tiezhu walked awkwardly toward the courtyard.
Entering a large wooden door, you are inside the courtyard.
The other houses all face away from the courtyard. There is not even a window left on this side of the courtyard, just to prevent outsiders from seeing the ancient well in the middle.
Only the three rooms facing the south have their doors and windows facing the inside of the courtyard. These three rooms are Zhang Tiezhu's secret territory. From now on, he will practice in the middle of the courtyard and rest in the room. This is the best place.
"Hey, Liu Shitou, prepare a wooden bed for these rooms in my room later, and put some chairs and tables in the room. Buy all the necessary furniture from the town..."
Zhang Tiezhu walked to the gate and shouted to the room where Yu Chengzhang lived.
Liu Shitou stretched out his head and said to Zhang Tiezhu: "I understand, it's all your money anyway, you can do whatever you want with it."
After finishing speaking, Liu Shitou retracted his head again and began to plan the use of a total of nine houses in the other three directions.
"Well, build an office. Yes, you must have an office. Otherwise, wherever I go to work, there is also a tool room, a canteen, and several resting places for workers. Those who are too far away can also stay...
…”
Liu Shitou was talking to himself while he and Yu Chengzhang built a bed with a mixed structure of bamboo and wood.
This guy even prepared an office for himself. He really regarded himself as a high-ranking official.
After arranging Yu Chengzhang's residence, Liu Shitou called Zhang Lei, sat on the back of his motorcycle, and headed toward the town together.
"Zhang Lei, you have been working in the company since today." Liu Shitou patted Zhang Lei on the shoulder and said.
"I, I just started learning to drive and I haven't passed the test yet. How can I get to work?"
"Your sister, don't you have a motorcycle? It just so happens that the plantation farm can use it. As long as you are not learning how to drive, you go to work at the plantation farm..."
Liu Shitou was really smart in his thinking. In order to make it easier for him to get in and out, he actually got himself a special car on his own initiative, which was just a motorcycle.
"Okay then." Zhang Lei could only nod in agreement.
"Don't worry, Boss Tiezhu won't treat you badly. How much is your shabby motorcycle worth? Let him reimburse you when the time comes. From now on, the motorcycle will belong to the plantation farm, and you are only responsible for driving it...
"
"Isn't this bad?"
"What's wrong? I'm the owner of the farm now. I have the final say..."
"Thank you, Brother Shitou..."
Zhang Lei quickly thanked him.
Because he had promised to learn how to drive and would help drive for the plantation in the future, Zhang Lei was still thinking that the motorcycle would be wasted.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shitou bought his motorcycle directly, so Zhang Lei no longer had to worry.
When the two of them arrived in the town, Liu Shitou immediately went to the furniture market and bought several tables and chairs. After some thought, he also bought a strong wooden bed for Zhang Tiezhu.
Workers can sleep on simple bamboo beds, but the boss can't sleep on that simple bed. Besides, he has many women. If he sleeps on it and crushes it with too much force, it will really be a joke.
Then I went to buy some bedding and kitchen utensils, as well as some farm tools for the planting field.
In the evening, a small four-wheeler drove into Maple Tree Village, drove directly in through the gate of the planting field, and finally stopped in front of the courtyard.
This car is packed to the brim.
Yu Chengzhang quickly came out to help. The three of them plus the driver of the small four-wheeler worked for more than an hour before moving everything into the room.
"Brother Yu, you can get a set of these beddings yourself."
Liu Shitou pointed to a pile of quilts, blankets and the like and said.
Then the guy chose a set himself and took it home directly.
"Haha, my blanket is also torn, this one is just right."
Liu Shitou actually chose a set of bright red quilts and blankets. I didn't expect that he, a tall and thick man, would actually like this bright red color.
"Brother Liu Shitou will go up the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow morning. You need to find a good person tonight..."
Seeing Liu Shitou leaving with the red quilt in his arms, Yu Chengzhang came out and shouted.
"Brother Yu, just rest assured, I will make arrangements..."
Liu Shitou ran away without looking back, for fear that Zhang Tiezhu would see him and kick his ass again.
In the evening, Liu Shitou first went to call two young men who knew how to collect herbs. These two young men were both from Maple Village.
Then he began to think about the women digging in the ground.
"Yes, Xiaocui is one. I'll call her."
Liu Shitou said to himself and immediately walked along the river towards the northernmost part of the village.
Zhou Xiaocui is a 25-year-old woman. Half a year after her marriage, her husband went out to work. As a result, he never came back. For five years, Xiaocui has been a lonely widow at home.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shitou fell in love with her, and the first thing he thought of was calling Xiaocui to come over and dig the land to make money.
"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui, I'm here..."
In the thick darkness of night, Liu Shitou stood outside Zhou Xiaocui's window and shouted in a low voice.
