When Tian Minyan and the others asked Yang Zhuangtou's family to change the death deed, he was stunned. Signing the death deed meant that he would be a servant of the Tian family for the rest of his life. No matter whether he lived or died, he could never betray his master and vote for someone else.
Can't give up.
After signing the death contract, the Tian family has the right to decide his life or death. His life is tied to the Tian family's belt. The master says, if he wants you to die, you must die.
The benefits of being a farmer are actually not small. The boss will give bonuses every year, and the tenants will be more filial when harvesting, so there is no loss at all.
Feeling that Tian Minyan's family was not like the cunning and exploitative boss, Yang Zhuangtou didn't think about it for long before he agreed.
He has lived here in Niutun Village for more than 20 years, and has been the head of the Xiao family for many years. He has already had feelings for this place. Selling himself to the Tian family is just a change of owner. Maybe the Tian family will bring them
something.
After deciding on the head of the village, Tian Minyan and the others stayed at his uncle's house for one night. They formally signed a contract with the Xiao family on the second day and then asked Deng Fugui to help him apply for the red deed. In this way, they bought the village.
The first thing Zhuangzi bought was the tenancy of those fields. Tian Minyan took back 20 acres of paddy fields and 20 acres of mountain land, and continued to rent out the rest. The rent was still 40% of the original price. She asked Yang Zhuang to take over
Go down and tell the tenants that if you are willing to continue to be tenants, you can also rent back the original land. If you are not willing, there is no need to come.
Most of the tenants were still willing to continue renting. Only a few small ones wanted to reduce the rent and stayed on the sidelines. They even instigated some tenants. Tian Minyan ignored them. It was better not to rent. Anyway, she could hire long-term workers to manage the fields.
In the Zhuangzi, the Xiao family moved away everything that belonged to them and emptied the house. Because the Zhuangzi family also had to farm, there was far from enough manpower, and workers from the MSG workshop also had to be recruited. Tian Minyan also asked the former
The man Yazi hired ten permanent workers and six female workers.
This time, regardless of whether they were long-term workers or female workers, Tian Minyan signed the death contract with them for unified management.
Tian Minyan's family in Zhuangzi will not come to stay permanently, so they only keep the third courtyard with three rooms. Tian Minyan allows Yang Zhuangtou's family of four and six female workers to live in the second courtyard. As for the ten long-term workers, they live in the house.
The third son entered the front yard.
After the manpower was finalized, winter wheat planting began, and the MSG workshop was also intensively prepared.
MSG is something that is eaten into the stomach. Tian Minyan requires absolute hygiene and cleanliness. There was originally a huge grain warehouse built next to the house, and there was also a large open space in front of it for drying grain, so she built another one.
They also covered it with a brick bed and surrounded it with walls to keep it secret. The female workers also wore special masks and gloves when processing MSG.
These six female workers were all cautious and cautious, and three of them were mute. Of course, before hiring them, she also invited a doctor to check them to see if they had any hidden diseases.
All the processes went smoothly. Tian Minyan left Xie Chengzhong and Yang Zhuangtou to supervise the work together and returned to Yangmei Village.
After the autumn harvest, the weather became cooler and drier. Luo Shi had put away his summer clothes early, and Tian Minyan was wearing thin jackets.
After all the 6,000 kilograms of kelp brought by Mr. Du were boiled and processed, more than 60 kilograms of MSG were obtained. The MSG workshop was also completed, and the second batch of kelp was also delivered. This time there was more kelp than last time.
, more than 10,000 kilograms.
Tian Minyan was so pleasantly surprised that she asked why, but the answer left her a little stunned.
Winter is coming soon. Before winter begins, fishermen will go to sea more and catch more fish to earn money for the winter and New Year. Therefore, they will go to sea less after winter, and they will not go to sea in the coldest month of winter because the weather is too cold.
, it is too dangerous to go to sea in winter.
This news made Tian Minyan very depressed, and she asked about the time when she would go to sea again after winter. It would have to be after spring at least. She immediately withered.
After seeing off Boss Du, Tian Minyan immediately called her family members to discuss how to solve this dilemma.
"Don't some fishermen go into the sea in winter? Aren't they used to the temperature? Why don't they go out in winter?" Tian Minyan was very puzzled. Isn't going into the sea the same as swimming in winter? As long as you are used to it, what does it matter?
"You are also stupid. In this cold winter month, let alone going to the sea, even standing on the beach, the wind is like a knife, blowing on people's faces and it hurts. How can you go fishing? This water can be used in less than a quarter of an hour.
You're frozen." Luo Shi clicked his tongue and poked her forehead with his finger.
Tian Minyan groaned and lay on the kang listlessly, looking weak.
She just wanted to do something big, but God wanted to play with her like this. Was it because she was having a smooth life or something?
"There is another way." Tian Minrui suddenly said.
"What can I do?"
"Go to various places to purchase." Tian Minrui pursed his lips and said: "In Qingzhou, the coastal areas are not just Henghe County. East of Henghe River and south of Qingxi are all coastal counties. As long as we go to those
If you purchase it locally, you don’t have to worry about not being able to harvest kelp.”
"That's right." Tian Minyan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she suddenly became alive and said, "The cost is higher, but this requires a large-scale production, so it is not the only solution."
"But who will collect it?" Tian Huairen asked with a frown.
"Dad, let me and Xie Chengzhong go." Tian Minrui said after a moment of silence.
"How is this possible?" Luo Shi and Tian Huairen exclaimed in unison.
Tian Minyan didn't say anything, she just looked at Tian Minrui with a question mark in her eyes, "Are you okay?"
"Dad, after the Chinese New Year, I am already twelve years old, and it is time for me to learn to grow up and take charge of the family. I can't let a girl take care of everything. I am a man. Besides, reading thousands of books is not as good as walking thousands of miles and seeing more.
It's better than staying in one place." Tian Minrui smiled faintly, with a calmness on his young face that his peers did not have.
"You are too young." Luo Shi still shook his head and disagreed.
"I think my brother is right, people always grow up by rolling on the road. It doesn't matter if he doesn't do well this time, he has always accumulated experience. If it doesn't work, we will only sell the MSG we make now.
Boss Du also said that he can give away seaweed again, and I have asked him to try his best to collect more." Tian Minyan said with a smile, but then added: "However, you and Brother Xie are not enough, what do you want me to say?
, and take daddy with you."
"Yes, I'll go too." Tian Huairen said immediately.
Tian Minrui was silent for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement. He did still lack some experience, and it would be better to accumulate it slowly.
The family discussed some possible problems on this topic and called Xie Chengzhong to listen and give his opinions. In order to collect them before winter, they decided to set off early tomorrow morning.
I had a busy day on Friday. From midnight to 9 o'clock, I continued typing until 11 o'clock. I was so exhausted. I will publish another chapter for 2,000 in a while. That's it for today. I need to pamper myself more during the weekend. Take a rest~
