Chapter 174: Calculation from Various Parties (3)_1
"Miss, I’m going to take the horse cart into the livestock shed," Yu Shao’en said.
"Go ahead." Lin Ziyin responded. "Has your mother-in-law finished harvesting the crops at home?"
"Not bad, we hired people, so it was done quickly," Mrs. Bai said with a smile. All the able men in her family worked for the Lin family, so they had to hire people to handle their five acres of beans and three acres of rice.
However, it turned out to be a good deal. Hiring people only costs twenty copper coins a day, but working for the Lin family earns thirty coins a day. And there’s extra pay for working night shifts. This year, the Bai family hired six people. It only took them two to three days to clean out the field.
"That’s good to hear," Lin Ziyin said with a smile.
"Look at me, so busy talking to you that I forgot I came to deliver something," Mrs. Bai realized as she saw a servant girl from the Lin family coming out. "These are fresh peanuts from our field. You didn’t plant any this year, so I thought I’d bring them over for you to taste."
With that, she handed her basket to Cui Duoduo, who had just come out.
Mrs. Bai’s daughter-in-law also handed over her basket and said, "It’s delicious to boil peanuts with water for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Once we dry them out in a few days, we’ll bring over some more."
