Chapter 458: Vermicelli Factory
Those dug up sweet potatoes were sent to the vermicelli factory to change the vermicelli in previous years. However, this year, the noodle factories in various villages have not opened for a long time.
Originally, each brigade had two vermicelli factories, which were the collective property of the village. With the implementation of the household contract responsibility system, the noodle factory was also divided among the people.
In fact, the current vermicelli factories are all handmade vermicelli, and there is nothing valuable. The most valuable thing may be the big iron pot with stone grinding and vermicelli.
The other tools, the wooden shelves and the iron colander, were worthless and could be made by a carpenter.
In the past, the cloth pocket for water control was still worth some money, but now there is more cotton, at most, it takes some effort, and I have everything to weave a coarse cloth machine, which is more than 20 catties of lint.
Tools are not valuable, the most important thing to open a vermicelli factory should be a factory, at least there must be more than five houses, and there must be a large yard of one acre.
Two large sheds were set up in the yard to place stone mills and cauldrons, and several sedimentation tanks had to be dug to precipitate sweet potato powder.
Natural handmade vermicelli, you have to wait for the outdoor temperature to drop below zero, that is, people say that it is frozen, before starting to make, the early stage is just the preparation stage, processing sweet potato starch as raw materials.
The three major pieces of vermicelli should be the stone mill, the iron pot and the yard. These three things, but they can't be divided, they are still the collective property of the team.
However, now that the land has been contracted, the division of labor has lost its original role and has been completely abolished. There is no new way to calculate remuneration, and people are waiting and seeing.
There are many vermicelli factories, but none of them are in operation. The rotten sweet potatoes in everyone's house had to be cooked and fed to the pigs as feed.
There is a noodle factory in Zhoulou Village, and my aunt's father is a good hand at making noodles. It turns out that at this time of year, it starts to get busy. But this year, the vermicelli factory is not open, and he has free time.
Under the influence of his aunt, the old man is still more thoughtful, he gathered the rotten sweet potatoes of his own family and his relatives, borrowed the tools of the team, and took his family to make sweet potato starch first, and hung it up to dry for later use.
The grass on the embankment of the Yellow River began to be harvested, and Hao Hao and Zhiliang were not at home this year, and there were really few people at home who could work.
My aunt's mother's family, the whole family came to help. Speaking of the noodle factory, my aunt's father said, "When it freezes outside, I will give you noodles, at least our own family can eat them."
Please, this year's noodles must be expensive, anyway, around us, none of the flour mills have started. ”
Grandma took his words: "Brother Zhou, your skills in making noodles are so good, just do it yourself, anyway, there is nothing to do, and the capital is not big." ”
He sighed and said to his grandmother: "Sister, that's something from the village, we can borrow it once from our own house, if we do business, the people in the village have to have opinions." ”
Uncle and grandfather simply said: "Brother, if you want to do it, I'll go and say hello to Zhou Zhishu, and let's buy it with the yard." ”
The eldest aunt's younger brother said happily: "This is the best, those things are useless to put there, and they can't be divided, if they can be sold, everyone can also share a few dollars, I guess there is no opinion." ”
The eldest aunt's father looked embarrassed and said to his in-laws: "Brother Han, the vermicelli factory in my village has a large yard, more than two acres of land, seven houses, and even two stone mills, which is estimated to cost more than 1,000 yuan. ”
Uncle and grandfather said nonchalantly: "You don't have to worry about money, let Aiguo give it to you, I estimate that it is capped at 1,000 yuan."
Now a new house is only 100 yuan, how old are your houses? Besides, the new stone mill is only more than 100 yuan, and the two broken stone mills are worth a few dollars.
Two acres of yard is not small, our rural land, but it is not worth much, one acre of land in the county is only sold for 300 yuan, and we are not worth 100 yuan here.
If it's expensive, we don't want it, your homestead is more, swap it with others, let's build a new one, anyway, it's the farming season, and some people can build it in a week. ”
The patriotic uncle followed behind and promised: "Uncle, I will ask Hongying to prepare two thousand yuan for you, and I will send it to you when I turn back." ”
The custom here is to call the father-in-law uncle, and the man's parents call the woman's parents brother and sister-in-law, regardless of age.
Aunt Hongying's father said embarrassedly: "Patriotic, you can lend me Wu Bai yuan, there are seven or eight hundred in the family." When the Chinese New Year comes, the vermicelli will be sold and it will be returned to you. ”
When my uncle heard this, he said unhappily: "Brother Zhou, you are going to say this, the daughter is the same as the son, anyone's money can be spent, and the two grandfathers said that they could not borrow or not, so that outsiders knew the joke."
Don't be polite, just let the patriotic they give you two thousand yuan, you will get 1,000 yuan just to buy a yard, and you must not prepare some capital. ”
Hongying's father is also a cheerful person, and replied happily: "Okay, I listen to my brother, but you really don't understand, you really don't have any capital to open a vermicelli factory."
Most people exchange sweet potatoes for vermicelli, and they don't need to pay for sweet potatoes, as long as they buy tools, they can produce them. ”
Uncle and grandfather are also in a hurry, and after discussing it with his family, he got on his bicycle and went to find the branch secretary of Zhoulou Village.
Those who went quickly came back, and several village cadres from Zhoulou Village followed, helping to mow the grass when they came.
In the past two days, the villages along the embankment of the Yellow River have been harvesting Gebagen. The long length of the embankment and the small population of Hantun village have slowed the harvest, and other villages have already finished harvesting.
As the party secretary of Hantun Village, and his son is the deputy secretary of the Linshui Prefectural Party Committee, he still has a lot of face among the cadres in nearby villages.
While working, he negotiated the price of the vermicelli factory, and finally roughly set a thousand yuan, and then discussed with the masses when he went back.
Several village cadres said: "Although this year's harvest is good, and each family also takes advantage of the money, but in addition to your family, our village is really enough to come up with 1,000 yuan." ”
Hongying's aunt's younger brother said: "Our family doesn't have that much, it's my brother-in-law's money." ”
When they heard this, they all said enviously: "Brother, you still have the vision to find a good in-law for your daughter." ”
As long as the affairs in the rural areas are not too outrageous, in fact, a few village cadres have the final say, discuss with the masses, that is, go through a formality.
In the evening of the same day, Zhoulou Village's opinion came out, and Hongying's aunt's father bought the village's vermicelli factory at a price of 1,000 yuan.
Since they had just ground sweet potatoes before, the equipment of the vermicelli factory could be used. The next day, a firecracker was set off, and the vermicelli factory opened.
The people in the nearby villages all sent sweet potatoes over, and many of them were good sweet potatoes that did not hurt their stubble. Everyone said: "This year, I won't dry sweet potatoes again, and there is no place to put more sweet potatoes, so change more vermicelli to eat." ”
