Chapter 55 Delivery of Oil and Water
The amount of fruit is not enough, and all the family members have gone out, and it is estimated that it will not be enough to use.
The cellar has been repaired, and Xu Lao Er can be freed up to help pick the fruit, but it is not enough for him to be alone.
Xu Zhang's smacked his mouth, "Jiaojiao, this person is not enough, wow, this job is taken, you are too tired, let's not take it, right?" ”
But if you don't take it, it's all the money that the world is dropping!
It's a pity not to pick it up!
Xu Laosi is looking forward to taking over these jobs, anyway, he will also send 100 tubes, and he will also send 300 tubes, but the more he sends, the more oil and water will be shipped in the middle, and his mother-in-law has been inquiring for several days, and the method of making loquat paste has not been learned, he is as stupid as a donkey, and he can only rely on getting some delivery oil and water.
Several people looked at Xu Jiaojiao.
Xu Jiaojiao groaned, "Take it." The fruit is harvested, and the fruit is collected for five pounds. Peel the fruit also ask for labor, peel five catties of fruit for a penny, how much to peel how much wages, add a stove in the kitchen, plus five stoves, boil together, mother, you, I two and we three of us boil, two ya, two sisters-in-law, four sisters-in-law in charge of firewood in the stove, how much can you earn! ”
"Mother, my sister is smart, born to do business, decisive and courageous, has a way, has an idea, sister, the fourth brother admires you." Xu Laosi was full of praise.
In such a short period of time, Xu Jiaojiao thought so comprehensively and thoughtfully.
It's a rarity.
Xu Zhang's family was also reluctant to let the silver fall from the world, and seeing that Xu Jiaojiao was so thoughtful, he also agreed.
"Okay, listen to Jiaojiao!"
The source of the fruit is not worried, and no one picks the wild fruit forest on a mountain.
Before, many people picked it and went to the town to sell it, but after selling it for a few days, they couldn't sell it, and now they don't sell it, so only the old Xu family is left to send people into the mountains every day to pick fruits.
If you spend money to harvest the fruits, it is estimated that everyone in the village will be able to go out to pick them.
It is easier to find the manual work of peeling fruits, and there are many idle women and children in the village, and they are not afraid that no one will come.
The only problem is the problem of increasing the stove, fortunately, the kitchen of Lao Xu's house is large, and the problem is not too big to temporarily add three stoves.
It's just crowded, and people can't leave.
By the way, you need to collect some dry firewood......
Xu Zhang's took everything Xu Jiaojiao didn't take into account, one by one.
The next day, as soon as the news of harvesting fruits was released, sure enough, almost the enthusiasm of the whole village to pick fruits was mobilized, and if you went to the mountains to pick five catties of wild fruits, you could go to Lao Xu's house to exchange for a penny!
An adult with dexterity can pick hundreds of catties of good fruit a day, which is 20 yuan!
Twenty dollars! You can buy more than six big meat buns, ten big vegetable buns, and only coarse grains, which can be enough for a family to eat for several days.
In the past, people in the village picked fruits to sell in the town, and few of them could be sold, basically they were not picked, and it was a waste to pick them.
Now as soon as the old Xu family said that they would harvest the fruits, the whole village almost went out to pick the fruits.
Soon the people in the village came to Lao Xu's house to sell fruits!
Xu Jiaojiao saw that she was completely unqualified, and a new rule was introduced.
To ripen good fruits, pick good quality fruits, on the top of the tree, big ones, the kind of small, green and yellow, only bitter and astringent do not harvest, and only two thousand catties a day, to be fresh on the day of picking, not fresh do not want.
Then, the people who peeled the fruit were also young and middle-aged women who were selected to be quick with their hands and feet, regardless of food, and their wages were calculated according to the amount of labor, and they peeled five catties for a penny! Peeling 100 catties a day is 20 wen.
Pay on the same day.
The women who came to apply for small jobs also came in droves.
Xu Zhang's family is responsible for this work of picking people, and they are all capable young and middle-aged women, of course, the few families she saw in the market before who stole fruits, such as Xu Chengju and Xu Xuehua, didn't ask for any of them.
They are all honest young daughters-in-law.
Some dry firewood was also collected, and five stoves were set up in the kitchen.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at the five stoves alone, Xu Zhang's let Yuan's, Luo's, Erya, Sanya and others give Xu Jiaojiao a hand, and when it came to the critical moment of sugar arrears, they didn't let them handle it, Xu Jiaojiao was good at it alone.
Every day was very busy, and there was not enough bullock cart for delivery, so I rented another one.
Xu Lao Er also followed to catch the delivery.
Xu Zhang's imagination of so many orders will be in a hurry did not happen, but in good order, the amount of 300 tubes of loquat paste per day, only a lot more, more are placed in the cellar, loquat dew is not easy to store, it is how much the day to boil as much as the quantity, loquat dew is heavy, the price is cheap, should not be stored.
Every day, Xu Zhang's happiest time is when Xu Laosi and they come back to pay the money in the afternoon.
Xu Zhang's counted the money and counted the cramps in his hands, there were ten taels less, deducting various costs, and there were seven or eight taels of messy.
At the door of Lao Xu's house, people come and go.
There are many people who come to sell fruits, and Koshiro is responsible for controlling the quality, what kind of fruit is good and what kind of fruit is bad, they are all clearly distinguished, and the good ones are collected, and the bad ones are not collected.
The people who came to sell the fruit were all men, and there were also many women who lingered in front of Lao Xu's house.
They all came to apply for the job of peeling fruit.
This is checked by Xu Zhang's family, and Xu Zhang's family picks who peels the fruit when he sees who is pleasing to the eye.
Luo is tall and greedy, but he has a lot of strength, he has big shoulders and a round waist, and the fruit in the yard is gone, so she went out to find Koshiro to ask for fruit, brought it in, and peeled it off by the big guy.
As soon as I got out of the yard, I was surrounded by several middle-aged women.
It's all the usual neighbors, neighbors, and little daughters-in-law.
"Hey, the noble daughter-in-law, the noble daughter-in-law, you're tired! Take a break and talk! ”
"Noble daughter-in-law, do you still have people who peel fruit in your family? I heard Aunt Li say that it is true that she peeled fruit at your house yesterday and earned 15 yuan? ”
"Is there still a shortage of people who can peel the fruit? What do you think of me? I'm sharp, with our friendship, can you help me arrange a place or something? ”
……
In the past two days, Roche has already experienced this kind of formation.
"That has to be true! The price set by our old sister, peeling five catties of fruit is a penny, such a good thing that is difficult to find with a lantern, only our old Xu family has wow, yesterday Aunt Li peeled 15 yuan, the daughter-in-law of the dog family peeled 18 yuan, and the daughter-in-law of Laizi's family, peeled to 20 yuan......
Roche counted them one by one, and everyone watched with amazement.
Their eyes seemed to burn eagerly.
Twenty dollars!
Buy coarse grains, the whole family can eat for several days!
It's still the kind that is full!
The men of their own family go to pick fruits to sell, and there is a limit to the number of catties of fruits they can harvest every day, and women can't climb trees, so they can't all pick fruits, but if they can find a job of peeling fruits and earn one or twenty dollars a day, it is really a good job that is not easy to find with lanterns!
