Chapter 1500

Yun Duo and Gao Xinzhi had been busy these past two days calculating the wages of temporary workers for different jobs in the surrounding area; for the two of them, this was an important task entrusted by the boss.

If they did well, they would receive more work in the future.

If they didn't do well, then this assistant and finance role would only be able to do their basic duties properly.

They were all ambitious young people; without overtime and without socializing, who wouldn't want to achieve some results?

And so, when Liu Liu came over to ask this question, Yun Duo first nodded: "We haven't confirmed this issue with the boss yet, but big sister, if you really sign a contract, then this tea picking can't be counted as a daily wage."

Because tea leaves aren't available all year round, it can only be arranged wherever there is work. Maybe you pick tea today, tomorrow you have to weed, and the day after you have to pack fruit.

Liu Liu hadn't thought of this point yet.

At this moment, she hesitated: "If it's like this, can I still earn this six thousand plus every month in the future?"

Yun Duo didn't know.

However, she still smiled and said: "I don't know the specific salary, but judging by our boss's generosity, you won't suffer in any case."

She comforted her: "Don't worry, I'll go ask after I finish eating."

While she continued to discuss this matter with Gao Xinzhi, Yanran and the other two were eating mugwort pancakes and discussing last night's topic:

"If the villagers want to continue selling vegetables for a long time, I'm afraid chemical fertilizers won't be suitable."

Chemical fertilizers are easy and worry-free, cheap and effective. But if you keep using them, the soil easily becomes compacted. However, if you don't use them, once the soil fertility is sucked dry, the soil will be equally barren and compacted.

Therefore, many gardening experts improve the soil before planting.

Their village's farmland foundation is still okay, so it's not like they have to rush to improve the soil for a year or two, but if they want to continue planting, then soil improvement must also continue.

For the Song family, costs can be relaxed, but for the villagers, they have to think about saving.

Yanran calculated: "With dead branches, fallen leaves, and weeds, they can just cut two mu of land to ferment and compost, and that will be enough for a year."

Tang Xiaodong nodded: "Yes, but we have to tell everyone today that this natural composting ferments slowly; if they keep growing vegetables, they have to hurry up and do it."

"Then we still have to give instructions not to just find any place to pile it up, as it's not aesthetically pleasing." Qi Lin added. Even if there's no scenery here, it's still a place with good mountains and water; if every household piled such a big heap in their vegetable plot or at their door, making it look like a grave mound, that would be too unsightly.

Since they are doing business with tourists, they have to maintain it carefully.

Yanran thought for a moment: "Let's bring a few more plans. For those with many family members who are willing to work, they can turn and dry it more and use this kind of compost to improve the soil. For those with few people but who are willing to spend a little money, they can slowly compost while mixing in rice husks."

Apart from the Song family, no one in Yunqiao Village grows rice—for small farmers to grow this stuff, it's a loss after calculating the labor all year round!

But in the surrounding area, you can always find some. If not, find a big station nearby and buy it collectively in the village!

You know, the simplest way to improve soil is to mix in rice husks; this stuff ferments slowly, doesn't burn the seedlings, and is loose and breathable, and it has nutrients as it slowly rots. Rice husk charcoal and plant ash still need to be burned, but rice husks can be used directly.

If you have to say there's a disadvantage, it's not like there isn't one—some that haven't been threshed clean might grow green rice seedlings the following year when mixed into the ground.

But, what impact does that have? It's something that can be solved with a casual pull, and not pulling it doesn't affect the vegetables either.

The three of them considered it carefully, striving to take care of all kinds of families in the village, so that everything would be perfect.

After drinking the last drop of dough drop soup, Tang Xiaodong asked blankly: "Hey, we aren't the technical instructors hired by the village, are we?"

Everyone:...

That's right! Shouldn't the primary development plan be for Boss Song!

Boss Song was currently at home fiddling with her blue roses.

Lu Chuan's lunar birthday was two days after the Dragon Boat Festival. Now the blue rose coloring was basically done, but because it couldn't be too exaggerated, she started pressing the branches to promote new shoots—

Grow more height, grow more branches and leaves, and produce fewer flower buds!

Hearing Yun Duo's question, she couldn't help but be stunned: "Convert to permanent employees?"

She was a bit puzzled: "They are willing to convert for 1300 yuan for picking vegetables?"

Yun Duo laughed: "They are weighing it against the salary they can get now—Sister Liu Liu can earn 6000 a month."

Once said like this, Song Tan understood: "They want a fixed salary and social insurance and housing fund, right? But in that case, the salary might be a bit less. The extra part is in bonuses—after all, we have busy farming seasons and slack seasons."

Although no matter how slack it is, work can always be found, the intensity is different, so the salary naturally cannot be the same.

"They are willing." Yun Duo explained: "Among the vegetable pickers, quite a few feel that this place is good for health and want to work here permanently."

Of course, this doesn't include the top-ranked brother who is still staying at Lu Chuan's homestay.

He is purely here to sleep and exercise his body; his wages aren't even enough for the accommodation fee, so he definitely won't sign a contract.

But even so, it still made Song Tan a bit surprised—they've only been working for a few months, and everyone already thinks so highly of living in the countryside?

She thought for a moment. Originally, this group of people was willing to come because of trust; now, although business is business, she shouldn't let them down.

So she nodded: "Alright, that's fine. Tell them that after becoming permanent, they will have all the benefits, holiday red envelopes, and gift boxes that come with social insurance and a housing fund, and the take-home pay will be calculated based on the security guards' starting salary."

It's about four thousand take-home.

It doesn't compare to the current temporary work calculated by the day, but the company pays a high amount for social insurance and the housing fund, so by comparison, Song Tan's expenditure is actually higher.

For example, Liu Liu, she now pays 400 yuan a year for the new rural cooperative medical insurance, and her child does too, but it can only be reimbursed for medicine at the township clinic. Once she enters the city, she has to go to a designated hospital. If it's a Grade A tertiary hospital, then after all the calculations, the reimbursement ratio might only be stuck at 50%.

But if the company pays for the five social insurances, then at any hospital, the minimum reimbursement ratio is 80%. Correspondingly, a portion of her monthly salary will also be deducted.

That's why Song Tan said the take-home pay is about 4000.

Yun Duo was also extremely happy—she was a newcomer and the boss's assistant, and now living on the mountain, she felt as if she might report on others at any time, so everyone was a bit cautious when speaking.

But if such good news is passed on by her, doesn't that prove that her heart is also working in the same direction as everyone else?

In the future, when asking questions or if everyone has any needs, won't they be able to speak freely?

And also—

The boss is really generous!

She immediately nodded: "Then I still have to register; for the physical examination after the May Day holiday, should I also arrange for them to be included?"

Song Tan nodded.

After Yun Duo left happily, she called Secretary Xiao Zhu again: "Tell me, what do you think if I donate an activity venue to the village?"
