The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Chapter 540 Redemption

Yan Yu stopped thinking. Who would sell firewood at this time? It's so cold that he can't keep it for himself.

But I thought that many houses in Yongning City and their Xiao'an Village were crushed, and there might be people who couldn't repair it themselves. They had to hire labor and buy materials...

If someone in the family is crushed, a sum of money will be needed for medical treatment.

Gu Feng just paid it back, but Huju really couldn't stop.

The government offices no longer send out many jobs, and the stable firewood collection point in Xiao'an Village is a rare source of income for the common people during the winter.

For her, she just saves money. For those poor families, a few living coins can save their lives.

"Go, the firewood will still be collected as usual. People from Gufeng's side will take turns pulling it every day, and Huju's side will deliver it to the government office as before."

Yan Laoer took advantage of his status to open a door to convenience and set up a stall in the back street of the government office.

Every day after leaving the office, the village's bookboys would rotate through and work part-time to collect goods.

Occasionally Yan Huaiwen would come out to pay...

After saying that, the children began to work.

Divide into several teams and disperse into the village. According to Yan Yu's request, the damaged houses are divided into three classes.

The first-class holes are easy to repair, the second-class holes are big trouble, and the third-class panoramic sunroof is in close contact with heavy snow...

Needless to say, I just packed up my things and moved to Yan's house.

The first and second classes all reported to Yan Yu. She would write down which house they were from first, and then go take a closer look when Master Lu was free.

Yan Yu just needs to sit and wait at home.

There is a steady stream of news gathered here.

To be honest, it's really comfortable.

These kids are really becoming more and more useful.

For several days in a row, Yan Laoer and Yan Yu traveled back and forth between Yongning City and Xiaoan Village.

"Dad, if you go to the quarry again today, pay the ransom to the two uncles from the Kang family and let them come back early.

It's already the end of the New Year, so I just need to advance a few days to allow them to be more accommodating, and we'll make up for the formalities later. " Yan Yu suggested.

This heavy snowfall caused heavy losses to various places in Guanzhou.

Houses collapsed and people were injured everywhere.

More people suffered from frostbite, and many developed high fever.

Being smashed to death, freezing to death, falling to death...

The coffin shop business in the city is booming, which is not a good thing. In contrast, Xiaoan Village is undoubtedly lucky.

Their timely action allowed the families to move out of the dilapidated houses and prevented the situation from getting worse.

The Yan family took the lead, and the Qi family and the Hu family, who had built brick and stone houses, also took in many families.

The village also organized a snow clearing team and a house repair team.

The former carried a ladder and went to the upper rooms of each house to clear snow, while the latter followed Master Lu and repaired it with limited materials.

There are too many houses that need to be repaired. Not to mention the nearby ones, even those who are making tiles further away have sold out their supplies.

Yan Laoer thought of the quarry.

The rock slabs they used to pave the floor can be used for a while. Yesterday, I bought wine and food and prepared a medium-sized New Year gift and went to the quarry.

The effect is gratifying.

The manager of the quarry was very considerate and asked Yan Laoer to just let others come and open the door.

"The manpower is a bit insufficient." Yan Laoer nodded and said: "Zhong, I will discuss it with others, it should be possible."

Yan Yu thought for a while and then said: "Dad, since we don't have enough people, this kind of sky quarry can't start work. Can you ask for more... No, borrow a few more people, and I'll calculate the wages."

This wages will definitely not fall into the hands of these people, and will naturally go into the pocket of the steward.

If you don't let others get some benefits, why should they bear these relationships with you?

"Dad, let's try it." Yan Laoer didn't finish his words.

When they arrived at the quarry in the afternoon, Luo Daer and others went to load the truck, and Yan Laoer pulled the steward aside.

"Brother, charcoal is soaring now, the price is one per day. With so many people here, you use a lot, right?"

"Speaking of this, Second Master, you have made a fortune. Who doesn't know that the Yan family only collects firewood but does not sell it? Hey, you must have accumulated a lot..." The manager rubbed his hands. There was no need to say any more. Everyone Knowing everything.

"The capital is small, so we just make firewood. We can't earn a few copper coins, so we can't lower the price. Instead, we have to mention it. Only when people make money can we collect more. The more we collect, the more we can earn." Yan The second child looks like a profiteer.

The steward nodded in agreement: "That's the truth."

"I'm really afraid that they won't survive. This morning, I heard about a few people who froze to death... This person is dead and seems to be no problem to us. But if we continue like this, how can we make money? People are working!" Yan Laoer pretended to complain.

The steward was silent, thinking about himself.

I have dragged out a few in the past few days...

On a day like this, it's not normal for a few people to die.

"Come today, I still want to discuss with my brother. How about lending me a few people? There is not much work in the quarry now. Instead of letting them live in idleness, why not come to my place to earn a few copper coins..." Mr. Yan Er counted on his fingers: "Building houses, feeding livestock, etc. Our village is close to the river. Regardless of the cold weather, we can still catch a few fish by smashing the ice at this time, but the river is too frozen, so we have to work hard." !”

The manager understood as soon as he heard this, and asked with squinted eyes: "How much salary does Mr. Yan plan to pay for each person?"

Yan Laoer settled the accounts: "If this person wants to come with me, I have to take care of food and accommodation. Now that charcoal is so expensive, I don't know if they eat much... Six...seven cents a day for one person." How is it?”

It's very dark to say that you are in charge.

On weekdays, it costs about 20 wen. If you work for a family, the master won't provide you with a meal? In winter, the wages will be one or two wen more expensive. However, it is not bad to include the firewood and charcoal brought by Mr. Yan. He can not use it here. If someone dies here, it will be in vain, but if someone dies outside, it will be unclear.

Letting people out to work will take some risks on both sides.

If it is someone else who dares to come up with this idea, he will slap him in the face.

But Mr. Yan... is another matter.

In the end, if something really happens, he can bear it.

People are idle anyway, and they can save some food rations. No matter how you calculate it, it is profitable. One person a day is 7 wen, if there are ten people, it is 70 wen, and 20 people are 140...

The manager's little abacus in his mind is crackling.

"I can't make the decision on this quarry alone. There are so many brothers watching over it. What if one of them doesn't keep a promise..."

"Eight cents, no more. I'm also responsible." Yan Laoer looked painful.

"Second Master, your fingers are loose, so make it an even number, ten cents! If it's less, I'm afraid those people won't work hard."

"Don't say it, nine cents! When I catch some fish, I'll send you a few, so that the brothers can taste the freshness of this winter!"

"You see... Otherwise, how can you say that you, Second Master Yan, are kind and righteous! Then I will thank you on behalf of the brothers!"

"Haha! That's settled. I won't bother here anymore. I'll take the people away today. The wages are half a day, five cents. Is that right?"

"Second Master is kind. They will enjoy working under you."

"The wages will be paid every ten days. If I can't come, let someone in our village bring them over."

"All right, all right."

"There's one more thing. I don't know if it's difficult for you, brother. The Kang brothers I mentioned to you years ago..."
