Chapter 295: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 295: Shameless and Violent Solution (3)
With her current abilities, Mo Yan couldn't do much more, but steaming a pot of rice every day to give away was still manageable.
Mo Qingze and Li Zhong nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement.
Looking at the graying beard and deep wrinkles on Li Zhong's face, Mo Yan said, "Grandpa Li, the shop will be quite busy these two days. We don't have enough manpower at home. Xi'er and Yanzi and I can help, but we'll eventually need to hire someone. Besides attending to customers, we also need to help them carry grain and restock. I think we should hire at least two people. What do you think?"
Li Zhong thought for a moment and said, "Let's just find one for now. When the business in the shop picks up in the future, it'll be the same."
The shop's business had just started, so it was wise to save costs for now. Even with two people, they would just be a bit busier, which wasn't too bad.
Mo Yan smiled, "Let's hire them all at once to make things easier for everyone. It's winter, and there are many people in the village looking for work. Working in the shop will shield them from the wind and rain. I believe many people would be willing to help. When the time comes, we'll choose two honest and reliable ones."
"Yan'er is right. Uncle Zhong, you shouldn't overwork yourself. Whether it's two or three people, you decide." Mo Qingze echoed, knowing that carrying grain wasn't easy, especially for someone of Uncle Zhong's age.
With both father and daughter speaking up, Li Zhong could only accept happily, moved by their concern.
After discussing some more details, they each returned to their rooms. They had to open the shop for business tomorrow, and Mo Qingze had to go to the academy. They both needed to get up early!
Back in her room, Xiao Hua, Da Bai, and Little furball were playing around. When they saw Mo Yan return, they rushed over.
Xiao Hua eagerly nudged Mo Yan's right hand, indicating that she should hurry up and let it into the space to eat delicious food.
"Greedy little thing!" Mo Yan poked its head and then entered the space while holding their paws, tossing two roasted chickens to the two big ones. The small one had already eaten enough and couldn't have anymore.
The roasted chickens were prepared last night. With the recent increase in workload, Mo Yan needed to eat while working to replenish her energy.
Xiao Hua happily gnawed on the fragrant roasted chicken. Seeing Little furball coming over to beg for food, it pretended to be fierce and drove it away, then kindly bit off two fat chicken legs and offered them to Da Bai.
Da Bai was also enjoying a roasted chicken elegantly. Seeing the chicken leg brought to its mouth, it didn't hesitate to snatch it with its mouth and then offered it to Little furball in the face of Xiao Hua's joyful gaze.
Ignoring the murderous look in Xiao Hua's eyes, Little furball licked Da Bai affectionately, then happily gnawed on the chicken leg while lying on the ground.
Ha, having stolen the master's favor and now trying to seduce Da Bai, this annoying little fellow deserves to be taken down! Xiao Hua glared fiercely at Little furball, trying to kill it with its gaze, but in the end, it couldn't resist the hunger in its belly and slunk back to continue gnawing on the roasted chicken.
Mo Yan watched the turbulent waves between these few fellows, finding it all very amusing. It seemed that Xiao Hua's pursuit of Da Bai wasn't going smoothly. There would be more twists and turns in the future!
Looking at the vast expanse of mature rice in front of her, Mo Yan wiped away the sweat with her sickle, feeling deeply nostalgic for the combine harvester from her previous life. With so much rice, relying solely on her own two hands was slow, but she had no choice. She couldn't ask her father and the others to help!
Mo Yan sighed and waved the sickle to start harvesting the rice. She had done similar tasks in her previous life, so she was proficient and not slow, but even at her fastest, she couldn't compare to a combine harvester. After two hours of hard work, she had only harvested half an acre of land. She quickly laid down a piece of oilcloth on the ground and placed a large basket on it, then began threshing the rice grains.
