Chapter 51: The Mill
Eighty pastries a day, although the number is more, but the type has not changed, there are still four, just a little more for each one.
On this day, Jing Hao didn't come, Lin Yu asked Tianxing a few words with concern, and Tianxing only said that their young master was going out.
The head of the Ding family just took the pastries and left, without stopping for more.
It's just that Lin Shan is not very interested. Lin Yu is probably understandable. When I first fell in love, I mostly wanted to see it every day. Now I can only see each other in two days, and I don't know how to suffer in my heart. Who knows, she can't reach it once in these two days, no wonder she is languishing.
Even if the whole world doesn't want to be with itself, life still has to go on. This is one of the words that Lin Yu believes in the most in modern times. Without much comfort, Lin Yu continued to move the bud rice to the kang and let Lin Shan pick it up. I got dressed and got ready to go out.
In the past two days, the corn kernels have risen a little, and in a few days they should have a taste, and she needs to find a place to grind them quickly. In addition, after grinding, the food that is made and eaten still has to be taken out, and this time she plans to make it herself.
After inquiring about others and turning two intersections, I found the nearest mill to her home.
The owner of the mill is surnamed Lu, and they are called by Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu.
Aunt Lu took Lin Yu to visit the mill.
Those who can afford to open a mill are relatively well-off at home. For example, the Lu family has a total of two grinding discs, both of which are large grinding discs with a diameter of about two meters, one for dry grinding and the other for water grinding. Every 100 catties of dry grinding is 10 yuan, and 100 catties of water mill is 4 yuan. There are few places in the city where there are grinding discs, so I earn a lot every day.
But soon, Lin Yu discovered the problem.
"Aunt Lu, there are two donkeys tied to your house outside, why don't you let the donkeys come over to grind, but let people grind them themselves?"
"It's a price for a man to grind it himself, and it's another price for my donkey to grind it." Aunt Lu sneered, is the donkey used for nothing?
"How much is it expensive?" Lin Yu must let the donkey pull the mill, otherwise she and Lin Shan will not even be able to push the grinding plate.
"Two pennies for every hundred catties!"
Lin Yu looked at the family who was grinding, and the two sturdy young men were pushing hard, round and round, snorting and panting. There are also about five or six hundred catties of bud rice on the side, and there is no powder. "How long will it take for them to grind?"
"It's going to take two hours! These brothers have energy, hurry! ”
"How long will it take for the donkey to pull these mills?"
"That's going to be fast, it's over in an hour and a half!"
Lin Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Auntie, I'll give you an opinion, you can consider it yourself." ”
Aunt Lu had to rely on Lin Yu to make money by grinding her, so she smiled and said, "Girl, if you have anything to say, just say it!" ”
"That's right, Aunt Lu. You see, if people grind, there is less money and more time. For those who want to grind, although they are tired, they can save money, which should be more valuable. But for Aunt Lu, I think you have lost a lot! ”
"Why did I lose money?" As soon as Aunt Lu heard that she had lost, she immediately raised her voice, "They don't need me to push, and second, they don't need my donkey to pull, I just sit comfortably and earn dozens of dollars a day, how can I still lose?" ”
"But you didn't count your time!" Lin Yu said carefully, "The two of them still have to use two hours to push these five hundred catties, what if they change to someone else?" The strength is not as great as theirs, and these 500 catties of bud rice can't be ground for a day? If you use a donkey, this grinding disc can grind 2,000 catties a day! How much money can you make? ”
Aunt Lu summed it up in her heart, and also understood that Lin Yu wanted to point them out a way to make money, otherwise she wouldn't have told her so much, so she was a little embarrassed and said: "Look at you, who doesn't want to earn a few hundred wen a day?" But there have to be so many people grinding it! ”
"Why not? You let the donkey grind for everyone, don't charge money! ”
"How can that be! My donkey works for nothing? Aunt Lu thought that Lin Yu had something to build, but she didn't expect to let her donkey work for others in vain. The heart said, as far as you know that if you are tired, my donkey can be trampled casually? It's not worth a donkey if it's sold to you! "All over the city, I haven't heard of a donkey who pulls the mill for nothing!"
Seeing that Aunt Lu was a little excited, Lin Yu smiled "hehe" and said patiently: "It's not that I want to grind me to say this to you, I want to save money." But if you use a donkey to pull the mill, won't you work faster, and won't you be able to take on more work with your extra time? It's good that other people's homes are not free, so won't everyone come to your house? ”
Aunt Lu's eyes rolled again and again, on the one hand, she felt that Lin Yu was reasonable, but on the other hand, she was not sure whether this was really appropriate. I was really unsure, so I went to find Uncle Lu over. As soon as he said that, Uncle Lu was also silent. After a long time, he said quietly: "What Miss Lin said is okay, but in that case, everyone else will come to my house, and my donkey will not be able to stand it. If a colleague goes to say that it is impossible to sentence us to torture and kill! ”
Lin Yu almost forgot that donkeys, cows, horses, and mules belonged to agricultural materials and strategic reserves in ancient times, and each of them had to be registered in the yamen. For example, if you plough a cow, the tendon and cowhide after you die must be handed in.
"Uncle Lu, we don't mean to let the donkey tire to death, let's let the donkey pull for a while, and we have to let it rest, right? Besides, donkeys don't charge money for grinding, but they can collect feed! For every hundred pounds of grind you pull, you must give an extra pound of coarse chaff. This coarse chaff is not valuable, but there will be dozens of catties a day, whether you feed donkeys or raise pigs, aren't they all inputs? ”
Uncle Lu slapped his thigh and said, "That's right!" I'll discuss with my son tonight to see where to catch (buy) a few piglets! After being excited, he said to Lin Yu: "Miss Lin gave us such a trick, I really don't know how to thank you!" ”
Lin Yuwan said: "I'm also thinking about myself, I'm thinking, if I can keep grinding at Uncle Lu's house in the future, I have to ask for some benefits for myself, right?" After saying that, in the blink of an eye, it was very naughty.
If Lin Yu prevaricated with other words, Uncle Lu might still think she was hypocritical. But when she said it so bluntly and jokingly, Uncle Lu also laughed.
"Done! In the future, if Miss Lin pushes the mill at my house, I will ship it back and forth for free, but the work will be correct! ”
When it comes to money, it's better to explain it in advance, although everyone is joking, but things are done clearly and comfortably.
"It's all as it should be! I can't let you work for me in vain, can I! In the future, I will come to Uncle Lu's house for grinding! ”
After setting up the mill and saving the money for the carriage and horses, Lin Yu was still very happy. In fact, it is not false to open a mill to make money, and Lin Yu's tricks can be kept by himself, but now is not the time. Grinding discs and donkeys are not cheap things, and her current funds are not enough to buy these, if she buys them hard, there is no need to carry out other businesses. Therefore, you can only use this method to reduce your own cost first.
