Chapter Eighty-Five: On the Right Track
Xia Qinghe needs people, and Ergouzi and Dahuzi are completely helping her by doing this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
She suddenly rejoiced and said: "This relationship is good, with the help of Aunt Chu and Aunt Yuan, I can be faster, the salary is twenty yuan a day, the sunrise is until sunset, and you can rest when you are tired." ”
She knew that the guys in the town were only fifteen yuan a day, and twenty yuan was a relatively good wage.
Dahuzi and Ergouzi suddenly rejoiced, going to the mountains to dig kudzu roots is basically their own hands, and there are dangers in the mountains and forests, they are men after all, and they can run faster when they encounter anything.
But the Chu family and the Yuan family are there after all, if they really encounter danger, they are afraid that they will not be able to take care of it, although they persuaded it, but it did not work, now such a good opportunity is in front of them, they all want to make money, and no one wants to let go of such a good opportunity to make money.
But now it's different, if Xia Qinghe needs someone to help, and he still has the salary to work, and the salary is still so generous, he will definitely be willing to stay, so that they will have a lot less trouble.
Xia Qinghe didn't let go of the expressions of the two, knowing that this was a good thing for mutual benefit: "You can tell your mother, although twenty wen a day doesn't look like digging more kudzu, but kudzu may be gone in a few days, but I have no problem doing things here for ten days and half a month." ”
Da Huzi couldn't speak, and as soon as Xia Qinghe explained this, he felt that if he told his mother, his mother would definitely agree.
Sending the two away, Zhu Xiaochang felt a little distressed and said: "Qinghe, why do you spend so much money to hire someone, I can help." "Twenty a day, he thinks it's a lot.
Xia Qinghe looked at Zhu Xiaochang's tangled appearance and couldn't help but smile: "You, you, don't be reluctant to pay for money, other customers have to be in a hurry to get things, and besides, the weather has been good recently, it's right to hurry up and get it out, it's not easy for us to ask someone to help, when do you say that the two of us have to get the kudzu in that room." ”
The firewood house was already piled up with a pile of kudzu, and it looked like a hill.
Zhu Xiaochang had nothing to say, he was slow to react, and Xia Qinghe made sense every time he spoke, so he didn't know what to say at all.
"You're right, I'm so tired that I'll eat some cold powder and go to sleep, and get up early tomorrow morning to get a stone grinder. ”
The two of them ate a bowl of cold noodles and went to sleep.
The donkey was locked in the shed where the chickens were raised before, and Xia Qinghe gave the donkey good forage to eat.
Xiao Hei ran around the yard like a happy one, so unhappy.
After closing the door and checking it, she went to rest with peace of mind.
The village was quiet in the past two days, and probably everyone wanted to make money, so they rested late.
The next day, Dahuzi, Ergouzi and Zhu Xiaochang went to the foot of the mountain to move a lot of stones back, and it took a lot of effort to put the stone grinders away.
Chu and Yuan both came, and the two wore aprons to help on the side, and the donkey had to grind all the time, afraid of trampling the mud on the ground, so Da Huzi and Ergouzi found a lot of flat stones to bury on the ground.
When everything was done at noon, Xia Qinghe was very reluctant to go, thought for a while and said, "Brother Huzi, Brother Gouzi, don't dig kudzu today, help me do a day's work." ”
Dahuzi and Ergouzi were unwilling, they knew what Xia Qinghe meant, probably because they didn't want to go and they were busy all morning, so they wanted to pay them, but they volunteered to help in the morning.
After the two excused themselves, they went directly to the mountain with the basket on their backs.
In the courtyard, Aunt Chu and Aunt Yuan couldn't stay idle, and hurriedly said, "Qinghe, what should we do, you have to arrange it." ”
Xia Qinghe asked Zhu Xiaochang to pick up the kudzu, and then put the donkey on it, and the stone mill suddenly rolled up, and the kudzu that was put down was easily crushed, and after a few more rounds of kudzu, it became a slag, which was thinner than a hand hammer, and there was more powder.
Xia Qinghe blinked his eyes and looked at the crushed kudzu, and couldn't help but sigh: "This stone grinder is too powerful, I couldn't hammer so fine when it hurt with my own hammer before." ”
"No, it's still Qinghe who is smart and knows how to use stone grinders. Zhu Xiaochang was also surprised to look at the broken kudzu on the grinding plate.
Chu Shi looked at the big wooden basin on the side and immediately knew what to do, beckoned Yuan Shi to start driving the donkey, and then took advantage of the stone mill to turn to the other side, and quickly got the crushed kudzu root, and then threw the uncrushed kudzu into it.
The stone mill is so big, it is enough to have the Chu family and the Yuan family, and Zhu Xiaochang is responsible for picking up the kudzu root from the firewood room.
She makes time for cooking.
After an hour of grinding, there are already several baskets of kudzu, and after eating, the starch is filtered.
Chu generously borrowed her family's wooden basin and barrel to filter the starch and clean the starch, and the four of them were in full swing.
It is roughly estimated that more than 100 catties of kudzu were crushed today.
Xia Qinghe, the crumbs of kudzu, felt that they could be fed to pigs after fermentation, but there were no more pigs in the village, and a little piglet was so expensive that no one in the village bought it anymore.
She could only let Zhu Xiaochang carry these kudzu pieces into the ground and wait for them to become fertilizer in the next year.
The water in the wooden basin in the barrel was all precipitated starch, and the Chu family and the Yuan family were also tired, Xia Qinghe took a break and hurried to cook, thinking about leaving Dahuzi and Ergouzi's family to eat at night.
The braised pork roasted in wild boar meat was also killed by the two fish raised in the tank before, and it was directly made into sauerkraut fish.
She is cooking, and the talents in the village have sent kudzu one after another, yesterday Chu and Yuan helped select a lot of unwashed ones, everyone was afraid that their kudzu would be selected, so today everyone washed clean.
Xia Qinghe was afraid that the people in the village would encounter danger when they went into the mountains, so he reminded each of them, hoping to persuade them so that nothing would happen at that time.
Granny Deng carried a basket on her back, her son came with a basket, and some villagers who had not left were a little dumbfounded when they saw people from other villages selling kudzu.
Yang was a little unhappy in her heart, she felt that this was a person from another village robbing business, and her face was dark and unfriendly.
Xia Qinghe saw it in his eyes, afraid that the people in the village would be dissatisfied and cause unnecessary trouble, so he rushed to the people who had not left yet: "If your family has relatives who want to sell kudzu, it's okay, I need a lot of kudzu, I will buy them all if you bring them, and I also need sweet potatoes, according to the price you usually sell, I don't bargain, but you have to wash it and send it over." ”
Kudzu had already built a room, and she began to plan to buy sweet potatoes so that she could continue to supply starch.
The people in the village were in an uproar, only knowing that Xia Qinghe bought kudzu, but they didn't expect Xia Qinghe to buy sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are available in every household, and this thing usually can't be sold for money in the town, and suddenly the people in the village are lively, and they are all thinking about how many sweet potatoes to sell.
