Chapter 25: Striking a New Face (2)

The sound of five o'clock in the morning sounded.

The people who were going to work all came out of their homes one after another.

Guo Sange (Guo Jianguo) drove the ox cart, pulled six bags of wheat from several of our families, and set off with Aunt Guo (Li Lanhua) sitting on the ox cart towards the county seat 50 miles away.

I shouted at Li Lanhua: "Aunt Guo left me ten catties of wheat rice"

Aunt Guo (Li Lanhua) sat on the ox cart and replied: "Got it"

We are here from the county seat, the nearest village is a mountain backer.

The farthest distance from the county seat is 150 miles away from the mountain ten companies.

From the first company to the tenth company, the road leading to the county seat of each village is different, and it is all the road that was opened by itself when the wasteland was cleared.

Our county seat is called Qianshan County, which is already a very developed place in our eyes.

Last year, electricity was connected and a flour mill was built.

Otherwise, we would grind wheat with a stone mill every year. The ground noodles will be dark, and sometimes you will have teeth when you eat them.

Now using the flour mill's flour mill, the flour is particularly white, and the steamed steamed buns are also very fragrant and soft.

It's just a bag of wheat, and it costs a processing fee of one yuan. There are people who are very careful, and they don't want to waste this money, so they still use the stone mill in the village to grind the wheat.

After two hours of turbulence, the ox cart slowly walked into the county seat.

As soon as you get to the door of the flour mill, someone will ask you what you do.

As soon as they hear that they are here to grind noodles, they will lead you to the factory inside.

Now the new wheat of the brigade has not yet been transported to the county seat, so the flour grinder is turned off, and the factory is very quiet.

After paying the money, he pushed the electric switch and told Aunt Guo (Li Lanhua) how to operate it simply. After that, the people left, and the rest was up to Li Lanhua herself.

If it's the first time you come, you may have numb claws, and you don't know what to do. Many people will not remember what he taught, and if they forget that you are asking him, he may still be upset.

Fortunately, Li Lanhua has been here two or three times and knows the order of threshing wheat.

Li Lanhua took Guo Jianguo to pour the wheat of Zhou Shujie's (heroine) family into the blender, spray water, stir evenly, and simmer for half an hour.

Turn on the peeling machine, and then add the stuffed wheat to a dustpan along the grain inlet.

There are two grain boxes below, one with wheat and the other with wheat bran.

Li Lanhua left the wheat that Zhou Shujie wanted.

After that, the wheat and rice in the grain cabinet were filled into the grain hopper of the noodle beater. The grain hopper with wheat is just enough to fit a sack of wheat.

Fill it up, turn it on and press the first button, and you can wait for it to come out with flour.

During this time, Li Lanhua and Guo Jianguo poured the wheat from Zhang Sannu's family (eldest uncle) into the blender and began to spray water, stir, and suffocate. (Mixing is done by manpower)

After stirring the wheat here, the flour on the other side is also beaten, and this time the wheat is crushed. The wheat bran and flour have not been separated, so it looks a little gray.

Refill the hopper with this flour, press the second switch, and start grinding the second flour.

In a small factory, two people have a clear division of labor.

Li Lanhua is in charge of the dough making machine, and Guo Jianguo is in charge of the peeling machine.

The second time the flour is beaten, the color has already turned white.

This time the flour is used to steam steamed buns. It's delicious, but it doesn't have gluten.

If you want to make dumplings, roll out the noodles. You need to play again.

Zhou Shujie's wheat has to be ground three times.

Zhang Sannu's (eldest uncle's) family has to grind a bag of wheat three times, a bag twice.

Li Lanhua and Guo Jianguo made a calculation, and they also grinded a bag three times at home, and kept the dumplings for the New Year.

A bag of wheat came out of Zhou Shujie's house, one bag of first-class flour, two bags of second-class flour, and less than one bag of wheat bran.

Seeing that there were three bags of flour, Li Lanhua smiled and said, "Hehehe...... This year's wheat is so good that three bags of flour were beaten. Do you remember, last year you only got two and a half bags of flour from a bag of wheat?"

Guo Jianguo also smiled and said: "Remember, last year's noodles were made by me and my eldest brother." Mother, there are a lot of wheat noodles this year, and I will steam the white flour steamed buns a few more times when I go home!"

"You're a glutton"

"Hey, hey, hey, hey"

After all six bags of wheat were beaten, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

I only ate a little bit at noon, and the cornmeal flatbread I brought from home is now hungry.

Loading the last bag of flour, Guo Jianguo let out a sigh of relief~huh~ thought to himself, he finally finished this work and didn't make any effort, he was just busy.

After loading the flour, he drove the ox cart, which was noticeably faster than he had come, to his home.

When you wake up in the afternoon, you want to cook something delicious tonight?

It's definitely too late to steam steamed buns, so I'm going to make some shredded potatoes for single cake rolls?

Let's hurry up and think about it, or ask my mother-in-law what she wants to eat later, right?

There didn't seem to be much work left in the afternoon. The child is asleep.

What should I do?" thought as he looked back and forth in the room.

Alas...... It really made me find a life.

There are two chests under the house, which contain the old clothes of my mother-in-law's family.

After we got married, the clothes we often wore were always placed on the kang and quilted.

These two cabinets have never been opened, so let's clean them up today.

Take out the good clothes and dry them, and don't want the bad ones, and take them apart and keep them for shoes in the winter.

I took out the key to open the lock on the cabinet, and when I opened the door, I smelled a faint smell of mold.

Fortunately, if you open it, if you don't dry it, the contents will be moldy.

On top were a few green uniforms, some worn and some new. These should have been taken back by the pillar in the troops. Take out your uniforms and put them on the clothesline outside, and let the sun kill them.

Further down are a few men's clothes, which are basically patched, and the lower down the clothes are, the smaller they become. It seems that this cabinet is filled with clothes from the pillar to the largest.

Take out all the clothes in the cabinet and put them on the kang to see, except for the few military uniforms that are drying outside, these clothes are useless and kept for shoes.

When the clothes in the cupboard were removed, a few stones underneath were revealed.

Well...... Stones, how can you put a stone in a cupboard.

I picked a small piece of stone, and when I picked it up, I found that this stone was very heavy, and it was a round shape the size of a human head, as if it weighed 20 pounds.

I didn't see any difference when I looked at it, but the skin was smoother, and it was still a stone when I looked at it.

Forget it, since it must be useful to put it in a box, let's put it here for him.

Well...... When he comes back, ask him what it is, right?
