"I understand, I really want to change some, and when the time comes, you can also talk to Wang Yuyuan, I don't know how many you have here, if you have less, I will take away the part you need to use." Chu Ying originally had no feelings for Bai Yuhe, because she burned her own house, Chu Ying still had a mustard in her heart, but she was pregnant now, her mother was the best, Chu Ying only hoped to help her more.
Bai Yuhe choked, covered her mouth with her hand, and tried to smile but tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Chu Ying really thank you." ”
"Why are you crying, you can't cry, it's not good for the child, I'll go back first, Aunt Wang, I'll go first......" Chu Ying looked at Bai Yuhe like this, but it was a little embarrassed, it was better to leave early.
"Why are you going to leave after a while...... Yuhe left Chu Ying behind, last time she went to Jiyuan to chop wood and let Jiyuan earn a lot of silver, I have to thank her, what about people? Aunt Wang saw Bai Yuhe sitting lonely on the floor, the tears on her face had not yet dried, and walked over and smoothed her back.
"Chu Ying, this kid is really humane, we have to remember these personal feelings, we have to help more when the time comes, don't sit on the floor, sit on the mat, don't get cold." Aunt Wang helped Bai Yuhe up, Bai Yuhe has been pregnant for 4 months, but her belly is bigger than others.
Chu Ying went home and tied up the hay and piled it up, or it took up a lot of space, and when it was almost moved, Wang Jiyuan carried four bundles of straw and put them in the yard, his face was still wrenched, and he put it down and left, so he carried it back and forth until the sun was about to set.
Chu Ying took the rice and took it out, and she didn't know how to change it, "I said no, you use these first, and I'll move them tomorrow." ”
Chu Ying just wanted to ask him how to change it more appropriately, Wang Qiyuan went home breathlessly, Chu Ying didn't know why Wang Qiyuan wanted to be like this, although this was a little helpful to him, but the main thing was that he really needed it.
In the next few days, Wang Qiyuan did the farm work on the ground and brought back the straw, but in a few days, half of the shed had been piled up on the side of the tsubaki. Chu Ying counted the number of bundles, one liter of rice for 0 bundles should be about the same, this liter is about .5 catties.
Waiting for Wang Qiyuan to finish moving, he wet his face towel and wiped all the sweat, "You don't need to give food, didn't you give three sacks before, these can't be exchanged for a bag, some of the family on the ground has been moved, I'll plough the wheat field over there tomorrow, you get it first, and I will see if I want to plant wheat when the time comes."
"No, how can you not bring anything with you after so many busy days, I'll go get food." Chu Ying looked at the straw that had almost filled the entire shed, because it was neatly arranged, Chu Ying multiplied the length, width and height, which was almost more than 500 bundles, and Chu Ying took 5 buckets of rice with a sack.
"This is what you exchanged for straw and labor, and if you don't take this wheat field, you won't use it for ploughing, and I will drive you away when you come." Chu Ying added some more water to the clay pot filled with water, and Wang Qiyuan didn't rest this day, just moving back and forth, the consumption of energy and water was still quite large.
Chu Ying saw that Wang Qiyuan was still panting with the face towel on his shoulder, so she lifted the rice directly to him and grabbed his hand. "Hurry up and get some rest, I'm tired these days."
Wang Qiyuan pinched the mouth of the sack tightly, looked at Chu Ying, who was blushing from mowing the grass, and wanted to take away the broken hair that was stuck to her cheeks, but she couldn't lift her hand if she wanted to.
"Okay, I'll take this, I'll plow the land tomorrow."
Chu Ying scooped up the straw in a basket and poured it into the cooking vat, added grass ashes, and added some firewood to the stove. Look
The shed is full of piles, these forages are easy to make in some days, but Chu Ying still has to collect some more, and she has to make all the paper in the autumn, and it will be too uncomfortable to touch the water in the winter.
When the time comes, it will be even more cold and biting when it snows in winter, and it must be a torture to make paper at that time, and in the next few days, Wang Qiyuan helped plough the land and sprinkle the seeds, and continued to help Chu Ying chop wood, and by the way, he helped Chu Ying to find someone to harvest straw.
Wang Qiyuan naturally looked for Qian Yong and Lu Meng and other brothers first, but they were a little suspicious, after all, this straw was as worthless as a weed, and it would be great if it could be exchanged for some money, but the distance was a little far, so they borrowed an ox cart to transport the straw.
Chu Ying asked them to pile the straw in the yard, and added the previous three large vats to the queue of the material, so that the process could move faster, but let them send one or two trips a day, otherwise there would be too much and no place to put it, if the yard was full of dry things on this day, they were afraid of a fire.
"What are you girls doing? It's quite light to use, but it's tiring to have so many tsubakes, and these legs are going to be thick. Qian Yong sat on the Tsubaki side and tried to beat the hay.
Qian Yong, a boy, is naturally easier and neater than a girl, and when he masters some rhythm, he is handy, and after a while, he will be almost ready.
"You should have nothing to do when the farm is done, or come to me to help, you can settle the bill and count the copper plate or grain."
Qian Yong was so excited when he heard that there was work to do, he almost fell off the wooden board of Tsubaki, "Really, I've been fine lately, this year's output is small, there is no work at home, even if the farm is busy at that time, it won't take a few days, anyway, I am idle at home, the same is the same, I can do as much as I want." ”
Looking at Qian Yong, who was jumping up and down happily, Chu Ying only felt funny, "Lu Meng, are you okay?" ”
Lu Meng fed the cow some grass and shook his head. Chu Ying let the two of them be responsible for the hay that Chun had made, while she and Ye Qiu were responsible for watching the fire and cultivating paper, and Wang Qiyuan chopped wood as before.
"You can also do it differently, the garden is chopping wood, if you have sore hands or sore legs, you can adjust it yourself." Chu Ying said that the two of them began to work.
With the help of these two strong men, the entire production line has been sped up a lot, and the speed of baking paper together by Chu Ying and Ye Qiu has also increased a lot.
When the two of them came every day, they drove their own ox carts with straw, and when the day's work was done, they went back with grain, and on this day they produced a liter of rice, which was originally only five or six liters, but because of this year's bad harvest, they both had to produce grain instead of silver, because they did not know how much grain they could exchange for when the copper plate was poured.
"Chu Ying, do you have a lot of food in your family? I didn't even see you planting rice...... All of your kind is wheat, have you exchanged this grain? Qian Yong drank the lettuce and fish soup made by Ye Qiu, and ate the steamed cakes he brought with relish.
"Yes, I also made some money from making paper, and I changed the rice earlier, and I don't know how many copper plates a liter I want in the city at this time......"
Chu Ying asked Ye Qiu to make more steamed cakes, after all, the two of them were doing physical work, and they were slower to dry if they couldn't eat enough, so they added two steamed cakes to the two of them.
"No need, it's enough, now the food is expensive, we only eat steamed cakes when we go out to work, and we can only drink thin at home." Lu Meng put the steamed cakes on the plate.
"20 Wen a liter, the people who have grain in this family are going to sell it for silver, and they don't know what the price of grain will rise at that time, but some families who don't have silver to pay taxes can only go to exchange for silver, and some families who have more surplus are now making a lot of money."
"Eat more, how can you have the strength to work if you can't eat enough, one person always needs to eat another, you are still polite to me, aren't you working for me?" In the days that followed, Chu Ying asked Ye Qiu to add one or two eggs to it, so it would be better to add a little more nutrition.
