In Sheshou Town at the end of November, the wind is freezing cold.
Wearing leather armor, a cloth robe, and a hood, Duke walked out of the dense forest south of the creek into the wind, carrying a huge wild boar on his shoulders.
Without the support of fighting spirit, he would not be able to bring back this half-ton wild boar.
After crossing the Shepan River and walking through a section of bushes, we soon arrived at the farm area of Xiaohewan and found our way home.
"Hoo!"
Shaking the wild boar on his shoulders, Duke strode forward.
As soon as I arrived at the border of Little Duke's farm, I saw Levin riding a tricycle waiting by the road, with five little cats following him around.
"Woof woof!"
Five little ones came running wildly.
Levin also stepped on the tricycle, came over to help the wild boar into the carriage, and rode Duke back.
Levin was a little worried on the way: "Boss, how do you make wild boar delicious? I'm too stupid and I can't always make these wild animals."
"Yeah, the food you cook is really terrible." Duke looked up at the sky, "It seems that the farm needs to hire some people... I really miss Aunt Abby's cooking skills."
But don't wait until Duke recruits people.
Within two days, Sally and Aunt Abby came to visit Little Duke Farm together.
As a former colleague of Little Sam's Shouka Shop, Duke received the two of them in a friendly manner, while Levine was busy serving tea and water.
"Boss, is your farm still short of people?" Aunt Abi asked with some anxiety after being polite.
"What's wrong?"
"I have been unemployed for half a month. Lu Wangka from Xiao Sam Xiuka's shop couldn't get used to the food I cooked, so he hired a new chef."
"It should be easy to find a job now, right?" Duke asked.
Aunt Abi sighed: "That's right, there are many people looking for nannies, but they are all from out of town, and they all look like they are killing people without blinking an eye. I don't dare to go. I am over fifty years old, and I just want to be safe."
Live a stable life."
"That's true." Duke frowned and asked again, but turned to Sally, "Where's Sister Sally, how are you doing lately?"
Sally looked very haggard, and she hesitated to speak.
It was Aunt Abi who said on her behalf: "Sally's job is not easy to do either. That Luwangka often puts on the airs of the boss and wants to take advantage of Sally. Sally can't stand it anymore... so we came to find the boss."
You."
"Looking for me?" Duke already knew the intention.
"Yes, boss, you are running a farm now, and I don't know if you are still short of manpower. Sally and I both want to come and work here."
"Well, I'm just trying to recruit some people, but the wages of working on the farm are definitely not as good as the wages of opening a store in the town."
Duke has money in his pocket, but he won’t do charity in vain.
Aunt Abi hurriedly said: "It would be great if I could have a job. Boss, just pay me the salary as a normal farm worker."
"That's no problem."
"By the way, boss, can I live in your staff dormitory here?"
"Of course."
"Sally, she wants to bring her two children over. The rent in the town has increased again." Aunt Abi said.
Sally also said: "Sawa and Saf are very well-behaved, boss. They will never be naughty on the farm. I cook for them myself."
Duke understood Sally's situation very well and said, "No, it's just two children, just take a bite."
So.
Sister Sally and Aunt Abby have become employees of Duke again. One is responsible for washing, cooking and cleaning, and the other is responsible for arranging farm work in each quarter of the farm. Levin's work has also been redistributed, and he is responsible for the chores in the fields.
In this way, Duke became the hands-off shopkeeper.
You only need to walk around the farm twice a day, perform breathing techniques on the wheat seedlings to promote growth, and the rest can be busy with your own affairs.
"Boss, I suggest opening up more land as a vegetable field, and it would be best to build a vegetable greenhouse." After Sally picked up the children and moved home, she immediately started working on the farm. "My husband used to work on the farm.
, I often go there to help and know how to grow vegetables in greenhouses."
"Growing vegetables in greenhouses?" Duke was noncommittal.
"Yes, there are too many outsiders coming to Sheshou Town. Now there is not enough food and vegetables. They are all transported from Shenjiao City, but the cost is too high. Sooner or later, we have to grow our own food."
"Okay, then open up a few more acres of land to grow greenhouse vegetables." Duke did not refuse.
"We have to recruit more people, boss."
"How many do you think are suitable to recruit?"
"We need to recruit at least ten people. We don't need to hire full-time workers, just hourly workers. Such hourly workers are easy to find now."
"Well, I'll leave it to you to take responsibility."
He himself doesn't want to put much thought into farm management, he just thinks about living with two crops of wheat a year. After all, the bulk of his income lies in his refurbished cards.
But the employees are willing to work hard, and the boss has no reason to stop them.
After giving Sally a start-up capital of 5 gold dragons, he stopped caring and went out as usual every day, fixing his card and doing his own business.
However, there are many people and distractions, so he no longer practices marksmanship in other fields.
Aunt Abi is not allowed to go in and clean Xiaodou's breeding room.
A few days later.
The construction team invited by Sally began to build a greenhouse behind the slope. Because the terrain was somewhat uneven, wheat was not grown here.
Four acres of land were cultivated, and greenhouses were built one row after another.
The plant ash collected by Levin after the fall came into use, and with the help of the hourly workers hired by Sally, he quickly fertilized and planted seeds in the greenhouses. In just half a month, all twelve greenhouses on four acres of land were filled with vegetables.
seeds.
Just wait for the vegetables to sprout and emerge.
"Sally, let's go." The hourly workers will go back to town after finishing their work every day and do not live in the dormitory.
"Okay." Sally waved her hand, "Levin, ride slower and be careful on the road."
"I got it, Sister Sally." Levin pedaled the tricycle hard and sent the hourly workers to the town. Fortunately, the tricycle's body was big enough to carry ten people.
Aunt Abi is clearing away the dishes in the staff restaurant renovated from the dormitory.
Sally is helping.
After cleaning up the staff restaurant, Aunt Abi stopped letting Sally help: "I will clean up the boss's side. You go back to take care of Sawa and Saff, and let the two children wash and sleep."
"That's good."
Sally returned to her dormitory, where Sawa and Saff were playing around. Since her husband passed away due to illness, her two children have become everything to her.
Aunt Abi knocked on the door and entered the house.
Duke just put down his bowl and chopsticks and wiped his mouth: "Sorry, Aunt Abi."
"Boss, did the food tonight taste good?"
"Very good."
"My cooking skills are limited, so I'm afraid you won't like it, boss." Aunt Abi said happily.
"How could that be?" Duke smiled, stood up and left, "I'll leave it to you to clean up here. I'll go back to work first."
He now does not eat with his employees, but opens a small stove alone, and has spiritual animal meat with every meal.
This is as it should be.
In the past, when I was at Xiao Sam's card repair shop, the conditions were simple, so I naturally made do with the employees. Now that I have the conditions, there is no need to wrong myself.
Aunt Abi praised the dishes while clearing away the dishes: "Boss, you are so hardworking. You have to work part-time to repair your card at night."
"Learn a skill and you can always use it in the future."
