But after the joy, the woman hesitated a little, and couldn't help but ask Xue Langjing, "The girl is really willing to grind for us?" ”

"Yes, yes", Xue Langjing nodded hurriedly.

Although the wages are less, who makes this place difficult to find a job, something is better than nothing.

But you still have to ask the specific price, "May I ask the shopkeeper, how to calculate this salary?" ”

The woman asked her, "Does the girl work long or short?" ”

Xue Langjing replied, "Short-term work." ”

"If it is a short-term worker, grinding brown rice is 40 catties and 18 wen, polishing rice is 40 catties and 50 wen, and rough noodles are 40 catties and 17 wen..."

The woman enthusiastically repaid all the costs for the processing of her various grains.

can dress like this, at first glance, she is a female hunter and a capable person, and her strength must be great, and one person is afraid that she can withstand several people.

Now that there is a shortage of labor in the mill, it is difficult for the woman not to be enthusiastic when she sees such a person who can reach a few people come to apply.

Xue Langjing was not very clear about how much grain to grind, after all, he had never pulled a grind before.

But listening to the meaning of that enthusiastic aunt, I am afraid that an ordinary laborer can grind more than forty catties a day.

said that it was twenty or thirty a day, but it was basically exaggerated, and it was not the price of a casual worker.

Therefore, after pondering the amount that the two women said for a while, Xue Langjing already counted it in his heart.

It seems that this silver is not easy to earn.

If it's an anti-sack or something, as long as you're not too thin, you can earn 30 yuan a day.

But if it is purely labor for the mill, it is about 20 yuan.

It's a lot worse.

Alas!

Thinking of this, Xue Langjing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Just sighed, she still had to accept the job.

But before she could do the work, she had to ask, "Shopkeeper, can I go to work right now?" ”

"Of course, for us, the sooner the better", this woman is also a real person.

"But, we still have to eat, halfway through, can we go out for lunch halfway?" For Xue Langjing, the world is big, and it is not as big as eating.

The woman didn't think about it, so she said, "How can this let you go out to eat, if the girl works all day with us, then we will provide you with lunch, but it is all ordinary food, probably not much better." ”

In this regard, Xue Langjing smiled awkwardly, and said a little embarrassedly, "What, the shopkeeper, we eat a little too much, at least five or six people." ”

"Well, this..."

We can't afford to feed this kind of food!

I think so, but I have said all these words, is it difficult to overturn it immediately?

The woman was very tormented.

But fortunately, the other party took the initiative to say, "Then why don't you do this, the shopkeeper's lunch will give us two catties of meat, and more rice, will it be worth twenty-five literary and labor money?" ”

As soon as she said this, the eyes of everyone in the mill turned to her.

There was incredulity in those eyes.

And they all mean the same thing.

Did I hear me right? Do you really want to eat the average person's day's wages in one meal?

Facing everyone's 'doubts', Xue Langjing had to scratch her head innocently, "This, we don't eat meat for a day, and our bodies can't bear the consumption, it's really..."

It was also the woman who reacted the fastest, "Understand, understand, the girl is a capable person, right?" Those who have the ability consume a lot, they should, they should. ”

"So that's it?" Xue Langjing confirmed with her.

The woman agreed, "Okay, that's it, you go to work first, and when lunch comes, I'll call my daughter to buy you meat." ”

After setting the salary, Xue Langjing put down the bow and sword on his body, and began to grind under the guidance of the woman.

As soon as she began to grind, everyone else in the mill stopped what they were doing and came to watch, including the woman who had brought her.

Could it be that when they meet a capable person, everyone naturally wants to see what difference the capable person pulls the mill from their ordinary people.

More precisely, I want to see how much strength the person has and how much he can grind.

Then they witnessed the miracle with their own eyes.

I saw that the heavy stone mill seemed to have no weight in her hand, and a woman could easily push the handle with one hand.

Note that it's not about pushing and walking, it's about pushing and running!

And pushing such a heavy object, running is not slower than ordinary people running empty-handed.

I saw that she was pushing the mill with one hand and holding a soft brush in the other, and in the process of running, she kept using the brush to sweep the wheat on the grinding disc into the grinding eye.

And they couldn't see her sweeping the wheat with a brush, and they could only see an afterimage.

As he ran, his hands suddenly changed, and his right hand, which had been pushed on the handle, was replaced by his left, and the right hand reached into the barrel containing the wheat on the side with great precision, grabbed the scoop inside, and scooped up a ladle of wheat.

Then, the hands were changed again.

As for the details of the exchange, it is natural that the left hand of the grinding releases the handle, and the scoop on the right hand is transferred to the left hand at a very fast speed, and it is changed to the right hand pushing and grinding again.

In the process of transferring the scoop, the force control was also extremely exquisite, and in such a rapid transfer, the scoop did not even scatter a grain of wheat.

After the change of hands, he pours the wheat from the scoop onto the grinding disc while pushing the wooden handle, then throws it back into the barrel, and continues to push the grinding while using the brush to sweep the newly poured wheat into the grinding hole.

And the soft brush, as her hands exchanged, was always attached to the palm of her left hand.

When there is already a lot of coarse powder under the grinding disc, he uses the scoop that has not yet been thrown away in his hand to scoop it into another wooden barrel.

Of course, none of the onlookers saw the above actions clearly, and at most they could only see the afterimage.

What's even more amazing is that she doesn't even have to stop when she scoops out the coarse powder.

All they saw was that there was a lot of coarse powder in the empty bucket, and there was not a single powder spilled on the ground.

This operation simply stunned everyone, are all capable people grinding like this?

Girl, are you grinding, or are you putting on a show for us?

It's too capable!

This is the voice of the people.

And the female shopkeeper seemed to understand that this girl dared to eat so much.

People can eat so much because they can earn it!

In less than half an hour, a bucket of wheat of about forty catties was ground into coarse flour for her.

She took the sieve and sifted the coarse powder.

The semolina is sifted down, and what remains on the sieve needs to be poured into the stone mill again for grinding.

Then the young woman in the mill went out to buy meat for her.

It's hard to recruit a laborer, and the labor force that can be provided is so sufficient, they have to be able to hold on.

Anyway, you don't have to pay for the meat yourself.

Soon, lunch time arrived.

At this point, Xue Langjing has grinded out more than fifty catties of semolina in more than an hour, which can be worth at least one day's workload.
