837 New Year
On the second day after Lin yuelan returned to the Lin family Village, she went to inspect the vegetable field in the greenhouse.
After all, she had not been back for two months. The Spirit Water that she had left behind had almost been used up. She was going over now to add more Spirit Water.
As soon as Lin yuelan walked into the greenhouse, she found that the growth of the vegetables was not as good as before, and they were not as fresh as before. This would definitely lead to some changes in the taste.
After Lin yuelan saw it, she frowned slightly. Something was wrong.
Then, she checked each shed one by one, and the same thing happened.
Lin yuelan decided to take a look at the reservoir.
Although these greenhouses were not in the same area, they were not far from each other. Therefore, Lin yuelan chose a slightly lower land and dug a reservoir.
The reservoir was about 150 square meters and was dug six meters deep. It looked like a pond and was surrounded by railings to prevent people from accidentally falling into the pool.
Just from the name, one should understand that this reservoir was used to store water.
The most important feature of the reservoir was that it was impervious and leak-proof.
In the modern era, it was not too troublesome to make a reservoir with cement. However, in ancient times, it was extremely difficult to make a reservoir without cement.
However, Lin yuelan would temporarily replace the cement with waterproof and leak-proof tarpaulin. She would replace the cement when she found the raw material, limestone.
She believed that there was limestone in this era, but it had not been discovered yet.
As for the water pipes, she could use hollow bamboo joints to make bamboo pipes. She did not need plastic water pipes.
Winter was the dry season, so there was very little rain. Even the river next to the village would dry up in winter. The vegetables in her greenhouse needed a lot of water to water, so Lin yuelan dug out the reservoir to store water while she was building the greenhouse.
When Lin yuelan was at home, she would add spirit Water directly to the greenhouses.
Later on, when Lin yuelan planned to go on a long journey, she added spirit Water to the reservoir.
This pool of water was enough to last for a whole winter.
However, the vegetables were not growing as well as she expected.
So, the problem must be with the water reservoir.
When Lin yuelan came out of the big shed, Lin Jiawei was paying each worker. After all, it was the end of the year. Lin yuelan planned to give them seven days of leave, and they would still be paid.
Those who were willing to stay and work overtime would be paid three times their usual salary for the next seven days.
These workers were very grateful for such a good opportunity and worked even harder.
Moreover, the temptation of triple pay was quite big. These workers were all very willing to stay and work overtime.
In order to be fair, Lin Jiawei arranged for different people to work every day for these seven days. The salary for that day was three times. As for the rest, they didn’t work and were paid normal wages.
The workers did not have any objections to this arrangement.
The next day was the start of the new year holiday, so Lin Jiawei decided to settle the salary today.
When the workers saw Lin yuelan, who had grown taller, more beautiful, and more graceful, their eyes were filled with amazement. However, no one dared to show the slightest lecherous expression on their faces.
Everyone who saw Lin yuelan would greet her respectfully, ” miss Lin!”
This was because, apart from Lin Jiawei, they were basically from other villages. As for the people from the village, they were the only few who had not hit Lin yuelan when she was down.
However, these people also greeted her respectfully, ” miss Lin!”
Lin yuelan nodded slightly and said, ” thank you for your hard work, everyone!”
All the workers were flattered.
To them, the boss paid for them to work. No matter how tired they were, they had no right to complain.
Even though Lin Yuelan was young, she was famous in the surrounding villages.
It was mainly because she was young, and her reputation for bringing bad luck to her family and husband was too great. It was difficult for the people in the surrounding villages not to know about her.
In addition, in the past six months, she had to hire many people to work for help. She didn’t want to hire from Lin’s family village because most of them had harmed her, so she looked for workers from the surrounding villages.
At first, everyone was apprehensive of her identity as a jinx, but many people were tempted by her various benefits. After all, they were farmers who were busy with farm work and had no other income. Now that such a good job was in front of them, it would be a lie to say that they were not tempted.
