In this regard, the people of the Xue family, who have lived a lot more finely now, can only shake their heads and sigh, and do not forcibly stop them. Anyway, what should be reminded has already been reminded, and you can't stop people from making more money!

Don't end up being thankless and frustrated.

In other words, the closest thing to Xue Langjing's house around here is Old Man Xue's house.

The newly married daughter-in-law is named Zhang Wufen, and she is a diligent woman.

After seeing that the courtyard of Xue Langjing's house was full of people, he also wanted to come and get some fruit to peel so that he could earn some silver.

It's a pity that the angry old man Xue scolded him fiercely, and he didn't have no money at home, so he needed to look at the faces of those unfilial sons and earn those copper plates.

Zhang Wufen was already a little afraid of this old man with a bad temper, who dared to refute him, and finally he could only rest his thoughts, and watched those women gather outside the magnificent courtyard, and earned the silver with a smile.

This Xue family's green fruits, if they are less, one or four thousand catties is not less.

It's a lot, there are dozens of people, each person or each family receives a hundred catties, everyone shares a point, and the amount that one person can get is less.

This money is not enough to make money, after all, no one is afraid of money, they want others not to do it, let all the fruit be peeled by themselves, so that they can earn all the money back to their own homes.

Later, in order to grab more fruit, a few more people took off their handguards, or wore them from time to time, and competed with others for speed.

When you finish peeling the green fruits, or don't grab them, you go to other tasks.

For example, helping to wash the pits, pick out the empty shells and poor fruits, screen the pits, and sort them.

After the fruit has gone to the pu, it must be dried.

Later, as more pits accumulated, the greater the amount to be dried. It also takes a lot of labor to lay down and put it away, and to carry it in and out.

The Xue family itself is really busy, especially everyone in the family has to study and practice calligraphy every day, even if someone is missing because he has to take care of these things, he has to make up for the missing courses when others can take over.

Originally, they had planned that they would be so busy that they might as well suspend the course for the time being, and resume the course when the pecans were finished and free.

However, she was vetoed by Xue Langjing, she naturally didn't want everyone to delay her studies because she was making pecans, what is the difference between this and three dozen fish and two drying nets.

If you can stop class because of hickory nuts this time, will you stop next time because of something else?

So it's a bit of a waste of time.

At her insistence, the classes at home did not stop, and many things had to be recruited.

You must know that before this, the one hundred and eighty catties of fruit cores made out of the two loads of green fruits used for experiments had already choked them with enough work, not to mention that this harvest was only a dozen loads, and it was really not good to find more people to help

Previously, after drying, it was astringent.

The process of deastringency is very time-consuming, and the mountain core will be steamed for dozens of catties at a time, and it will take up a large cauldron.

The only thing that can be steamed on the stove at home is the big pot, and the other medium pots can't be put down at all.

Obviously, it can only be steamed pot by pot.

And one pot will take three hours, and even if they steam all day and all night, they will only be able to steam four pots at most in one day and one night.

And in the morning and evening, you have to cook so many people's food, if there is no cauldron, there is no time to burn, and at this time you have to vacate the cauldron.

But this thing can't be steamed halfway and stopped, so it can only be steamed in a pot between morning and dinner, and when there are fewer people at lunchtime, use a medium pot to deal with it, and steam another pot in the middle of the night.

The amount of only two pots in one day and one night is far from enough for the harvest of thousands of catties in this day.

In this way, I had to borrow a neighbor's stove.

Just borrow a pot stove, don't need to make firewood at home, you can get a few pennies a day, and the neighbors are naturally very willing.

And, it's not just about money.

People are burning fires in their own homes, and it is also beneficial to them.

For example, the continuous fire can be borrowed.

This mountain core steaming needs to be burned day and night, and to maintain such a large fire, you must not use fine firewood.

The coarse wood is fierce, and the large and medium stoves under the stove are connected, and often when the fire of the large stove is sufficient, it will also heat the middle stove on the side, and of course, there are soup cans embedded in the stove.

In this way, when they cook at home, they don't even need firewood, and they can burn it directly on the embers of the big stove.

Doesn't that save a lot of firewood?

And this fire burns continuously for twelve hours, and how much hot water must be boiled on other pots and soup cans.

In the past, they were naturally reluctant to spend that firewood money to boil hot water.

Generally, there are no conditions at home, and the water that is drunk is naturally raw water, and it is directly scooped from the water tank to drink.

If there are some conditions, boil hot water for young children and drink raw water for adults.

Only when the conditions are good, boil hot water to drink.

And now, it is equivalent to the Xue family sending them free hot water, and with such a good opportunity, of course they are reluctant to miss it.

Therefore, while the pecans are being steamed in this cauldron, they will put away the extra boiling water.

Even if the adults are not at home, they will leave a child, and when they see that the hot water in the pot or soup pot is boiling, they will quickly scoop it out and store it, and then pour the raw water into it.

I can really save a lot of cool white water, and store this water in a separate water tank, which is enough for their whole family to drink.

Even if no one is there at home, you can ask the people who steamed walnuts from the Xue family to help you save them, and give them some when the time comes, and they are very willing.

And this pot burns day and night, burning the whole house warmly, and the carbon fire in the house is saved.

Borrowing a stove can lend so many benefits, naturally no one will not agree.

Therefore, almost all of the big pot stoves in the neighbors around here were borrowed by the Xue family, except for the old man Xue's house.

Of course, the Tang clan didn't want the old man to earn an extra penny from his family.

To steam so many things, it's a lot of money.

Fortunately, some time ago, because Xue Yuhai and other three laborers went to the mountains to chop firewood every day, they saved a lot of firewood at home.

can barely support such a large amount of consumption on several stoves every day.

However, to fry so many pecans, these firewood are obviously enough to choke, and it is estimated that they have to be bought.

The front is deastringent, and there is no need to dry it after deastringency, after all, even if it is dried early, so many cores will not have time to fry it later.

Then why bother to spend that firewood in a hurry to dry, it is better to put it outside to dry, so at most it is to pay some labor costs.

After drying, the walnuts will be smashed and the walnuts will be peeled, which requires a lot of labor.

Only when all these trivial things are completed can we get to the stage of roasting.

After all, the recipe for roasting belongs to the Zheng family, although in this village except for their family, no one else has the opportunity to contact pecans, but for the sake of insurance, this recipe should not be leaked out casually, Zheng Linchu trusts them so much, they can't live up to the trust of others.

But just by relying on a few people from the Xue family to do it, this manpower is obviously not enough, and you have to find a helper.

There are more than 20 people in the Xue family, but there are less than 10 people who have really learned this baking method.

The men hardly cooked, and they couldn't grasp the heat for a while, so they had to come to the women.

Among the women, Tang is obviously not good, they are all at this age.

Xue Xuanjing has a few, and this experience is not enough.

In this way, there are only a few people in the front line such as the Liang family, the Shen family, Xue Linjing, and Liu Huining and, well, Jiang Qianyue, forget it, she is a scholar, and the matter of cooking is really not a strong point, not a strong point.

Therefore, many women were involved in the roasting process, but of course they would not be told the details.

Although they direct the women to do most of the work, they are in control of what to do when.

It's usually when the time or the fire is up, and the women are asked to do this and that, without telling them why.
