Traveling through ancient times, storing supplies and not fleeing famine

Chapter 106 Reward and Punishment System



Chapter 106 Reward and Punishment System

The villagers collected the money very quickly and handed it over to Village Chief Ma before noon.

The village could actually keep one-tenth of the money from selling wasteland and hand it over to the court.

There has always been such a tradition.

Silver from outside the area is usually given to successive village chiefs.

This money is used to maintain the village, and can be used for any major expenses in the village.

Village chief Ma has more than three taels of silver in his hands, which is the public property of the village.

Adding the money from the land sale this time, it’s more than eight taels.

The wasteland of Xia Shengsheng's family was paid for with money from the village.

So Village Chief Ma confiscated Xia Shengsheng's silver.

Since everything had been arranged by Village Chief Ma, Xia Shengsheng didn't waste any more words.

Call a few people and ask them to move the peppers out of the house.

"Village chief, we have 300 kilograms of dried chili peppers and 500 kilograms of fresh chili peppers. We can directly remove the seeds of the dried chili peppers, soak them in water to germinate, and then plant them after seven or eight days.

Fresh peppers take longer, as they need to be dried first.

The final weight of these pepper seeds is about 90-110 kilograms. If it is wasteland, it may be difficult for the seedlings to germinate, so you can plant more seeds per acre, about 8-9 kilograms will be enough.

Village chief, please take the people to distribute these peppers. I will explain to everyone in detail how to make pepper seeds germinate later!"

Village chief Ma did some calculations and distributed the peppers equally to everyone.

Let the Ma brothers, the Li brothers, and Ma Kui help divide it.

Some of the workers making vermicelli came out to watch the fun, but before they could even take a second look they were caught by their team leaders.

"We are here to work, not to watch. Don't waste time, you still have a lot to learn!"

The reason why she is from the Ma family is that she is the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief Ma.

In the future, most candidates for village chief will be Ma Da.

So she has always had prestige in the village.

As soon as she opened her mouth, even those who were dissatisfied with their team leader's arrangements shut up and kept silent.

Xia Shengsheng and other village chiefs led the people to distribute the peppers, and carefully explained to everyone how to peel the pepper seeds, how to make the pepper seeds germinate, and where to put the pepper seeds to facilitate germination.

"When you go back home, tell your family members not to rub their eyes with their hands when peeling pepper seeds, and to wash their hands several times after peeling them, otherwise the spiciness will make their skin uncomfortable.

Also, children should try not to touch it. Children’s skin is delicate and they may not be able to withstand the spiciness and may easily cause allergic reactions. Did you remember that?"

"remember!"

"I've got it! Thanks for telling me, Xiao Xia!"

……

"There is one more thing I would like to ask for your help!" Xia Shengsheng stopped the person who was about to go home to peel the pepper seeds.

"Miss Xia, just go ahead and say it!"

"Yeah, if you need any help, Xiao Xia, just tell me..."

Xia Shengsheng said that he wanted to build a few stoves, and everyone wanted to stay and help. Some even wanted to ask people who were free at home to come and help.

"We don't need that many people. With three or four people, it will probably be finished in half a day. Don't worry, I won't ask you to help for nothing. I will pay you according to normal wages."

Xia Shengsheng had never thought of hiring people to work for free. No matter how great the favor was, he would not let people work for nothing. Besides, every household was busy now.

But everyone refused, and the scene was very lively for a while.

Ye Chao and Er Cheng really wanted to say that they were actually quite useful. For this little job, was there any need to ask others for help?

At this moment, Sicheng was still calculating how many seeds the peppers distributed to each household could produce, and how many dried peppers the fresh peppers could produce.

As I was calculating, I became confused and scratched my head in pain.

It’s true that when the book is used, it will be less regrettable.

How can I open a restaurant in this situation?

I can't even figure out the accounts.

At this critical moment, Village Chief Ma has to step in.

"Okay, stop arguing, it's delaying the business.

Boss, choose five people, have them send the things back first, bring their tools, and come to help Xiao Xia set up the stove."

"Xiao Xia, don't worry about whether you're paid or not. These stoves only take an afternoon's work, so you don't have to be so polite.

We have owed you such a big favor, and now that we have no way to repay you, you should at least make us feel better."

Xia Shengsheng had no choice but to agree after being persuaded by the village chief. If they continued to argue, it would be dark.

Dozens of people took their peppers back home.

Let the idle women and elderly people at home pick pepper seeds, and the rest of the laborers should be put into reclaiming the land.

Xia Shengsheng's three acres of land were the first to be opened up.

In order to avoid uneven division of labor, the whole village worked together on the three acres of land, with each person working on a small piece, and they finished cleaning it up in less than half a day.

Xia Shengsheng's stove was also built quickly, and setting up the stove was something farmers were used to doing.

It was completed before dinner time.

Xia Shengsheng thought that since he was not going to pay them, he had to give some things back to the people, so he gave each of them some of the sausages he had bought some time ago. This time it would be difficult for the people to refuse.

On the way back, some people were drooling at the sight of the sausages, while others were smelling the aroma of the sausages as they walked.

Some people also thought, go back home to nourish your wife and children, this bread is full of meat! It must be more than two months since I last had meat, right?

Xia Shengsheng also ordered a few wooden shelves from the Li family.

Li Youcai's family is the busiest this time.

Both daughters-in-law work for Xia Shengsheng.

Li Youcai, with his two sons and several grandchildren, was busy peeling pepper seeds, reclaiming land, and making wooden racks. The family's meals also had to be cooked by his two little granddaughters.

Fortunately, the eldest and second sons of Mr. Li are both fourteen years old. They know most of the carpentry work and can also do farm work, so they can share a lot of the work.

After several days of hard work, the vermicelli factory finally got on track.

Each team can perfectly complete the tasks assigned every day.

There is one thing, every time I go home for lunch at noon, there are always one or two people who come back late.

Even some team leaders are late.

After asking, I found out that everyone at home is busy with work in the fields. Some people don't have enough manpower at home, so after work at noon, they have to go home to cook, which wastes time.

For these, Xia Shengsheng redefined the reward and punishment system.

If you are late or leave early, no matter how well you complete your work, if you are late for less than one hour, half a day's wages will be deducted. If you are late for more than one hour, it will be counted as absenteeism.

If there is something going on at home, please report it to the team leader in advance.

Unless there are special circumstances, personal leave shall not exceed three times a month.

But everyone is given a day of rest every month.

You cannot take leave at the same time on this day. You have to take leave in batches and in stages so as not to delay work.

For those who are really too busy at home, they will be advised to withdraw.

With these rules in place, there have been no more cases of being late or leaving early.

After all, there are still many people eyeing this position.

The benefits of chili peppers are not yet visible.

This job is a long-term popular one.
