C104

"The road to the mountain is small, we won't go on the ox-cart."

Liu Da chased the ox-cart to the foot of the western mountain and jumped down with a single leap:

"Otherwise, we'll tie ourselves up behind that tree. It's still early, and this place is lush and secret, so I'm not afraid of being led away."

"Alright."

Liu Da completely treated Qin Wuya as his boss, and after hearing what was said, he pulled the oxcart and walked towards the back of the tree.

"Here, this pair of scissors."

Qin Wuya took a bamboo basket and two scissors from the carriage, and gave one of them to Liu Da:

"When you go up the mountain, you have to go back and forth to get a clear understanding of the road. "Since you are so strong, you should be able to travel quickly. Later when I stay on the mountain to pick pear seed, you can carry the bamboo basket full of them onto the ox-cart. Is that alright?"

"Alright."

Liu Da nodded and followed behind Qin Wuya.

Although the Western Mountain was small, there were usually no one entering the mountain. Thus, it was hard to find the dense forest and roads within the mountain.

Afraid that Liu Da would like to leave some markings on the road, he explained the markings to Liu Da one by one.

"This path looks complicated, but it will be easy to find once you're familiar with it. I left a mark on the path, could you go down the mountain by yourself?"

"Don't worry, Miss Qin."

Although Liu Da had grown up in a small town, he had often gone fishing in the river with a few kids when he was young.

Although it was his first time entering the Western Mountain, it was not difficult for Qin Wuya to help him with her markings.

With that, Liu Da began working under the pear seed first.

Harvesting fruits wasn't something that could be done using any techniques. It was just to see who was faster and more patient.

Although it was Liu Da's first time using it, but because he was so big, he would often find things that Qin Wuya couldn't pick, and instead acted much faster than Qin Wuya.

In a short while, two bamboo baskets were filled to the brim.

"Miss, I'll go down the mountain first."

"Alright, be careful."

Just as Qin Wuya was about to give some advice, she saw that there were two bamboo baskets that were half the height of a man, and they were carried on her shoulders as if they were weightless.

Qin Wuya was dumbstruck. Good heavens, her hand strength was truly domineering.

If the pear seed inside wasn't packed personally, they would really think that the basket was filled with cotton instead of pear seed.

The Western Mountain was not high, and Liu Da's footsteps were fast.

Qin Wuya had just filled two bamboo baskets up to the brim, and she had also made a trip back to the mountain from beginning to end.

In less than two hours, the ox-cart was already filled with more than ten boxes of pear seed.

Qin Wuya and Liu Da pulled on a corner of the tarpaulin with one hand and brought it forward. The large tarpaulin covered all the pear seed s on the ox-cart. It was hard to see what was inside.

After fixing the four corners of the tarpaulin onto the oxcart, Qin Wuya took out a cloth towel from her chest and tied it over her face, covering most of her appearance.

Following which, he handed another piece to Liu Da:

"Well, you too. "My reputation is not good, and you are from outside the village. If anyone in the village sees you, they might not be good."

"Alright."

Qin Wuya's words were reasonable, but Liu Da thought straight, and did not think too much about it.

The sky gradually brightened. The ox-cart filled with pear seed slowly made its way out of the Li family village.

In the village, there were a few who got up early but saw an oxcart pass by in the distance.

There was nothing in the car that anyone could see, but the two men in the wagon were shading their faces with cloth, and they looked like ordinary wagons, hauling slops through the village.

"Miss Qin, when are we going to make our next trip?"

Returning back to the town's courtyard, Liu Da helped to unload the entire carriage of pear seed.

"Let's wait for nightfall. It's too dazzling to go now."

Qin Wuya pondered for a while before replying:

"Liu Da, don't keep calling me Miss Qin. I'm a country bumpkin so I don't have to pay much attention to things. I'm called Qin Wuya, just call me Wu Ya from now on."

"That's great!"

Liu Da was startled, in his eyes, Qin Wuya was the savior who saved his life, the boss who gave him the job.

Liu Da would frequently go to the rich families to do small jobs, and everyday, he would also understand some of the rules.

"Isn't this breaking the rules?"

"What rules, I'm not so particular about them."

Qin Wuya helplessly shook her head:

"Look at me like this, you can tell that I'm used to living in the countryside, I'm not some young miss from a big family, yet you call me a girl instead."

"If you're familiar with me, then just call me Wuya. Don't be uncomfortable and just treat me as a girl that you're familiar with. I'll have to tell you to work for me in the next few days."

"Then... "Fine."

Liu Da thought that this was also the reason, but was still a bit embarrassed:

"Five …" "Yo, Sis Wuya, then what do we do now?"

"How's your cutting technique?" Qin Wuya asked: "Do you usually cook by yourself?"

"Yes."

Liu Da blushed and nodded:

"I only know a little bit of how to use this knife." The cutting techniques cannot be considered good. "

"It doesn't have to be that good. If you can cut up the vegetables, you won't lose any blood."

"Just cut up some ginger from the skin and cut it into shreds. Some of them aren't carved flowers, so they don't have so much to pay attention to."

As Qin Wuya thought about it, she actually gave Liu Da a strange look.

"It's rare to see a man who can enter the kitchen now?"

The Grand Dynasty was a society where both men and women were inferior to each other.

All the men in this place were somewhat of a chauvinist. He always felt that wherever the woman in the kitchen stayed, even if the family was so poor that they couldn't even open the pot, she still wasn't willing to step into the kitchen.

No one knew who it was for, but Old Man Qin, who was her cheap old man, was a typical example that loved to show poor people a broken record of old masters.

"Me …" "My mother is sick. There are no women in the house, so I can only think about it myself." Liu Da lowered his head in embarrassment.

He was a man born and raised in the Grand Dynasty. At this age, there was no one in the family who could help him with his work, so he could only cook for himself. If these words were to spread outside, people would laugh their teeth out.

"I can cook well."

Seeing that Liu Da was uncomfortable, Qin Wuya laughed:

"Who said that men can't cook by themselves? I think that a man who can cook by himself is better than anything else."

Qin Wuya was going to explain himself, but somehow, she actually made Liu Da's face turn even redder.

"I... "I …"

This time, Liu Da's face was extremely red.

Qin Wuya waited for half a day, but she still could not say the words after the word 'I', so she could only laugh helplessly:

"Later, you will help me peel the ginger and cut the silk, as well as the orange peel. Just chop it later and it will be fine. It's very simple."

"Alright."

Liu Da nodded his head, he did not dare to say anything, which made Qin Wuya feel very depressed.

She herself did not say anything excessive, why is it that even though Liu Da looked to be in his early twenties, he still looked like a married woman?

Liu Da's cutting techniques were not bad, but he had the strength to help deal with the ginger, orange peel, and look after the fire, saving Qin Wuya a lot of trouble.

Originally, Qin Wuya had been busy preparing a jar of Nectar s from beginning to end. Now, she only needed to process the pear seed s and mix them in a ratio at the beginning, and pay attention to the time when cooking the pears.

This not only made things easier, but also made his efficiency a bit higher.

In less than three to eight hours, Qin Wuya had already made seven to eight jars of Nectar, causing Qin Wuya to have the urge to keep Liu Da to do some work for a long time.

In the past, he didn't have much work to do, and he didn't have much money. Naturally, he had to do everything by himself.

Now that Qin Wuya felt that she had some assets of her own, the work she had to do would only increase in the future. It would be better to get a long-term helper.

Thinking about that, Qin Wuya couldn't help but to secretly size up Liu Da who was busy at the side.

He was tall and strong, but not only was he physically strong, he was also very diligent in his work. The most important thing was that his mind was simple and honest.

They did not need to worry about the origin of the pear seed and the Nectar's formula leaking out after asking for his help.

Speaking of which, Qin Wuya had also thought of finding a hardworking woman to help him.

After all, Qin Wuya, a single girl who had yet to leave the pavilion, had casually invited an unfamiliar man to her house to work for her.

However, spending money to hire someone was easy, but spending money to hire someone who was honest, simple, and had good intentions wasn't easy at all.

Qin Wuya did not know many people in the Clear Water Town, so she did not have the guts to hastily find someone she did not know to help her.

Qin Wuya was a true person, and had always valued money more than face.

Asking for Liu Da's help would cause people to complain about it, but asking for help might cause them to lose their way to earn money.

It's said that you can't have both fish and bear paws.

After some thought, in the time it took to make a cup of tea, Qin Wuya made her decision.

What a joke. If he couldn't sleep on the streets without his profitable business, then he would lose even more face.

As the sky darkened, Liu Da helped Qin Wuya explain to the Nectar s one by one.

He found a large wooden basin and filled it with cool spring water, soaking these jars in it. Then, he took a fresh bamboo basket of tarpaulin and headed out of the town towards the Li family village at dusk.

"Liu Da, look more carefully. Let's just pick a bigger one to pick. "

Afraid something bad would happen, Qin Wuya didn't bring a fire piston to the mountain.

The moonlight was beautiful, but the situation on the tree wasn't clear either.

"Pick some more mature ones. Those who are still small or still green, put them aside for now. We'll talk about them in a few days."

"Alright."

Liu Da replied and did not say much, but his movements became more cautious.

Be obedient, speak less, and work carefully and lightly.

Qin Wuya was ecstatic. This man was the best example of a good employee in the world.

"Liu Da, are you willing to come to my place to help?"

In the dead of night, the ox-cart drove into the town and into the backyard of the prince's mansion in the north of town.

Liu Da was busy unloading the goods, when Qin Wuya explained her plan to Liu Da:

"The salary will be based on what I previously told you. If you can finish the job for a month, I will add another 100 coins to it."

"This... "That's no good, Wuya, if you call me anywhere useful just call me that, I won't be able to accept money."

"You work. How can there be anything wrong with me giving money to you?"

Qin Wuya could be considered to know that Liu Da clearly had all the strength in his body, and no matter how honest and capable he was, he wouldn't be able to maintain a stable and proper lifestyle.

It was all due to his personality. He could always remember other people's little help, but he didn't dare to ask for money.

How could he support his family if he had been like this for his entire life?

"That doesn't need to be so expensive. Fifteen minutes, no, ten minutes a day. " Liu Da scratched his head and muttered.

In truth, thirty coins a day was not a lot. When Liu Da went to work at a large family, if he met someone with a lot of work, the person in charge would be the most generous person for forty-one days.

However, this did not last for long. They would often end up doing it after seven or eight days. Most of the time, it would be possible to find a job that was twenty or so words a day.

Moreover, it was not like he was having a day of work. If he went to look for the long-term work in the restaurant, having a half-way in a month was already an excellent result.

The money Qin Wuya gave him was actually thirty coins a day, and one hundred coins would make up for the money she gave her.

This price was more than enough for two serious workers in Clear Water Town, no wonder Liu Da felt that this price was a little too much.

Seeing Liu Da's situation, Qin Wuya was confused.

This was also a rare occurrence. It was likely that even in ancient times, no employee would think that the salary offered by the boss was too high. Furthermore, the employee would automatically request for a two-thirds pay reduction.

"If I say 30 words per day, then it would be 30 words. However, there is a reason why I am willing to pay this price. "

With the words having come to this point, Qin Wuya bluntly stated her words:

"Coming to my place is different from coming from the side. Not only do you have to be diligent in your work, you also have to keep your mouth shut.

I've told you a few things everyday, and every day I've made you do something you're not allowed to tell anyone, not even your own relatives.

Liu Da, are you willing to do this? "

Qin Wuya believed that Liu Da was a good person, truly, he would not stop his livelihood just because he was rich.

But because Liu Da was too honest and straightforward, Qin Wuya had no choice but to explain herself.

She was not afraid that Liu Da would spread the news, but she was afraid that when the business was done, there would be people who would pry words from Liu Da's mouth.

With Liu Da's straightforward personality, other people would only need to slightly put in some effort, and wouldn't be able to get to the bottom of this.
