Captured by straw
Chu Ying looked at the many ox carts full of straw parked at the door and the people carrying the straw were bustling and waiting at the door, as soon as Chu Ying opened the door, they began to talk nonsense, Chu Ying was so frightened that she closed the courtyard door.
"Tell you to stop it, such a big group of people." Ye Qiu let the boiled water cool, and the people outside the door must have been tired and thirsty from afar.
"Who leaked the rumor, why is it such a big ticket, what is this......" Chu Ying bit her nails and frowned, a little overwhelmed.
"Chu Ying is me, Qian Yong, you open the door, you open the door." Chu Ying opened the door and let the two of them in, and then quickly closed the door.
"Chu Ying is not good for my mother, and people say that you are harvesting straw and can exchange for food, and this is not spread to each other." The straw that Qian Yong and Lu Meng transported every day was almost used under the orderly cooperation and reasonable arrangement of the four of them, and they really needed to collect more, but there were too many people here.
Qian Yong looked at Chu Ying with an embarrassed look, and felt a little guilty in his heart, "Chu Ying, I'll go and tell them that we won't harvest straw, or how much food will so many people get......" Qian Yong scratched his head, it was really a head and two big.
"No, no, no, it's not easy for them to come all the way, so we can't let them go back again. Ye Qiu, take a bag of millet down. Chu Ying rolled up her sleeves and took a deep breath.
"With so many people, is one bag enough?" Ye Qiu carried two bags of grain down. Lu Meng helped take it.
"Huh, Qian Yong, open the door......" Chu Ying has done a good job of psychological construction and mustered up courage, what should be faced is always to be faced.
"This straw has been shipped, can you harvest it?"
"I finally came here, and I said that you took it? Why don't you come out? ”
As soon as Chu Ying went out, everyone hugged her, Chu Ying hurriedly climbed to the wall, and Qian Yong in the back also closed the door, "Folks, be quiet, listen to me, be quiet." Chu Ying shouted a few times before everyone finally quieted down. I really don't need so much for this small business, and now that food is getting more and more expensive, I can only move two bags of grain at most in exchange for your straw. Chu Ying put her hands on both sides of her mouth to make her voice louder, so that the people behind her could also hear it.
"We've all shipped it, more or less, you can change it for us." Several strong men stood on the ox cart and shouted.
"I can only exchange 20 bales of straw for one liter, which is the size." Qian Yong heard Chu Ying say this, so he hurriedly hugged a bundle and let everyone take a look.
"Didn't you say 0 bundles of one liter?"
"Yes, yes, how did you change it into 20 bundles, this is all the way away."
"There really isn't so much food at home to exchange for your straw, if you want to, then I'll change it, if you don't want to, please go back." Chu Ying watched everyone discuss it for a long time.
"In exchange, it's coming."
"Then everyone is standing up one by one, how can you change this black and muddy? Put the straw on the left, Qian Yong, you go and count, count Lu Meng, you move inside, and then go to the right to get the grain, Ye Qiu, you will divide the grain. Take it and go away, don't get in the way of others. Chu Ying jumped off the fence and asked several people to start work quickly.
Seeing that everyone was slowly lined up, he asked Ye Qiu to start counting the number one by one, and then reported it loudly to Qian Yong, Chu Ying put a few bowls on the low table and poured water, "Let's drink saliva when you get it, everyone is tired." ”
Chu Ying roughly estimated that there were almost more than 20 people, this number should still be quite fast, this was originally slowly made of paper, and some empty sheds were now piled with straw, originally Chu Ying thought that she could rest by doing some more, but now she estimated that she would have to do more than ten days of work.
After a long day, several people finally collected all the straw, but there was still more than half a bag of millet left. Lu Meng and Qian Yong were a little gasping when they changed positions and moved straw, and after drinking a few sips of water, they were finally able to sit down and rest for a while.
"Chu Ying, I'm really sorry this time, I'm tired of you." Qian Yong pinched Chu Ying's shoulder.
"It's okay, we will always be known about harvesting straw, I'm not tired, I'll move a little, you move most of the head, but it's not good to put so much straw away, let's cut some today, this is a guillotine...... Take this axe and break up all the grass and put it in the water, so that it will not catch fire easily, and it will fill the yard.
Chu Ying couldn't move away when she looked at the straw piled high behind her, she was really invaded by the straw. "Okay, I can't get this way."
"Ye Qiu, go cook, everyone is tired, Qian Yong, let's do it after eating......" Chu Ying stretched out her hand and waved it and hung down weakly.
"Finish it early, or the sparks that burn the fire will fall out and you'll be burned." Qian Yong took the axe in his right hand and the straw in his left hand and began to break the straw, giving up the guillotine to Lu Meng.
Chu Ying carried all the broken straw to the pond next to her, and after eating lunch, everyone worked non-stop, Ye Qiu took out the scissors, hugged the straw over, sat on the edge of the pool and cut the straw, and Chu Ying acted as a porter, giving straw to several people.
The three of them were also quite fast, Chu Ying was a little tired of carrying the straw, and he was able to take a little rest after piling up a lot of straw for the three of them at once, seeing that everyone didn't stop for a moment, he took a little rest and continued to work.
Waiting for the evening when everyone finally broke all the straw in the yard and put it in the pool and water tank, "It's finally done, Chu Ying, let's go back." ”
"It's time to eat, I've done the day's work, stay to eat, eat well and leave."
"No, no, I've already eaten a lot at noon, and I can't eat yours anymore." Qian Yong pulled Lu Meng, who was still with a cone leg, and planned to leave quickly, he had already caused a lot of trouble to Chu Ying today, and he couldn't eat Chu Ying's food anymore.
"I don't have the strength to pull you, come here, Ye Qiu's steamed cakes are very fast, and those steamed cakes are long gone after an afternoon of work, how can you go back?" Chu Ying slowly stood up and closed the door, and now they couldn't leave.
"Okay, okay. Sit down. After a few people ate, Chu Ying prepared two torches for the two of them, which should be able to burn them until they go home.
"There's a moon here, what do you want this torch to do, it's not that the girl doll is afraid of the dark, no need, let's go, go to sleep."
"It's better to have torches, you can go faster, take them, and go home and sleep." Chu Ying watched the two of them walk away with torches, thinking that there was no straw to send at home, but it was quite exhausting to walk so far home every day, and it would be great if they could spend the night at Wang Yuyuan's house.
The main thing is that there is no extra place to use as a bedroom on his side, and it is always a little inconvenient for himself and Chu Ying to be the two girls.
"Don't look at it, come and soak your feet." Chu Ying looked back at Ye Qiu, who was standing at the door of the kitchen with water, although he was very tired, but very fulfilling, Chu Ying felt that every cell in his body was ready to go.
However, the next day, Chu Ying felt that this world was not very friendly to her, and looking at the line that had already lined up on the path in front of Wang Yuyuan's house, Chu Ying was a little unstable.
