However, the Chen family's paddy field is in Xianggui Town, and Gu Dagui had already gone to live in the shed by the paddy field in Xianggui Town two days earlier, and with the help of He Wanli, he found some farmers in Xianggui Town and asked them to harvest rice.

Chen was very distressed about this: "If the paddy fields were close to home, our family would be able to cut them by themselves, and we didn't need to hire people at all. ”

The third grandmother looked at her and said, "What about your family's thirty acres of paddy fields, if you don't ask someone to harvest it, can your family of four harvest it?" You're too busy to get tired. ”

Chen was scolded and was unhappy for a while, but he didn't know what to think of and became happy again, and said proudly with a puffed chest: "What the third uncle said is that we are not farmers now, we are landlords, where are there landlords who collect grain and do not invite people?" ”

Is it still called a landlord if he doesn't hire people to work?

"No, Dagui is too honest to let the people who work bully, I have to rush to see tomorrow and keep an eye on those workers working, lest they bully Dagui and spoil my family's food."

The third grandmother served: "Are you worried that Dagui will be bullied, or do you want to put the score of the lady of the owner's family?" You can stop it, if you run like this, Dagui will have to quarrel with you again. ”

Chen is not afraid at all: "If you quarrel, you can quarrel, which man doesn't quarrel with his mother-in-law?" The more noisy we are, the better our lives are. ”

Anyway, Dagui is rare with her, it is impossible not to want her, she makes a fuss, and she can still make Dagui remember her daughter-in-law in his heart.

The third grandmother was too lazy to tell her: "Get out of when the knife is sharpened, the old woman doesn't have time to listen to your nagging." ”

The scythe is a sickle, which is specially used to harvest rice and wheat crops.

Chen also said that it was enough, and went to the house with the two sharpened knives, looking at the two knives as he walked, and said: "It is also cost-effective to invite people, and it also saves money to buy knives." ”

The farmers who came to harvest would bring their own knives and not the owner's tools.

The hanging pot workshop knew that Gu Jinli was busy harvesting rice, and after the pharmaceutical workshop made 20,000 bottles of tooth powder, it sent someone to inspect the goods in advance.

There is a new group of people in the hanging pot workshop, although the ability is not as strong as Mutong, but they are also people who know how to do things, they are busy from morning to night, a whole day, finally all the tooth powder is checked, and the remaining 1,700 taels of goods are paid.

After Gu Jinli got the silver ticket, he put it away first, and then settled the accounts with Doctor Wu at the end of the month, and gave him Doctor Wu's dividend.

Dr. Wu also said: "Shopkeeper Zhang wrote to Shopkeeper Cheng that the tooth powder is bought very well, and the rich family buys it from every household, and each master has a bottle in his hand, and the amount of your bottle is not much, only one or two, and it is used quickly, so you have to do it quickly." Otherwise, these 20,000 bottles will not be sold out for a long time. ”

Earlier, Dr. Wu muttered, saying that with this girl's temper that doesn't like trouble, how could she fill one or two bottles to increase the time for inspection? Now he understands that this is the idea of dressing less, consuming quickly, and selling more, and he really has the means, and he is convinced.

He added: "I will ship another batch of bottles in a few days, and you won't be left without bottles of tooth powder." ”

Gu Jinli smiled: "Thank you Grandpa Wu." ”

What is the long-term money-making thing in the world? That is consumables, consumables that are liked by rich people, rich people are not short of silver, and when they get used to a thing, they will habitually buy it, tooth powder, mosquito coils are universal and fast-consuming things, and it has long been right to do them.

After the tooth powder was delivered, Gu Jinli's family began to be busy harvesting rice.

Gu Jinli's family previously bought 20 acres of paddy fields from Mr. Lu's house, plus 80 acres of Songzizhuang, there are 100 acres of paddy fields, but the yield of Dachu's paddy fields is not high, and the average per mu is only 300 catties of rice.

"I never dreamed that I could harvest so much grain, it is 10,000 catties, or rice, which I can't eat for ten years." The third grandmother wiped her tears and said excitedly.

The rest of the families also harvested a lot of rice, each family collected a few thousand catties, but the big guy was excited, Lao Yan's family was poor all his life, and when he learned that the family had collected so much grain, the rice was golden rice after it was husked, and it was a man who didn't resist, and he fainted with excitement.

Gu Qingxi and Gui Niu, who were younger in the old Yan family, were scared and cried, Jin Niu cried and ran to Gu Jinli's house to find someone, and the third grandmother was anxious to hear it, and hurriedly went to the pharmaceutical workshop to invite Uncle Dai to see.

Uncle Dai quickly rushed to Lao Yan's house, woke up Lao Yan, and explained: "You can't be so excited when you're old, you can't stand such dizziness at this age, and you'll have a stroke." ”

After hearing this, the third grandmother hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, now that the days are just getting up, there will be many happy days in the future, you can't have anything to do." ”

Old Yan smiled embarrassedly: "Not next time, it's not like I've been suffering all my life, and I've never seen so much food to be excited." ”

Brother Gu Damu heard that his mother had fainted, so he hurriedly came back and asked Uncle Dai, "Doctor Dai, is my mother okay?" ”

Uncle Dai said: "It's not a big deal, just pay attention to the point in the future, that is, the old lady's body is very empty, it is best to take this opportunity to take a year and a half of decoction to recuperate." ”

Gu Damu is a filial son, and there is no shortage of money in the family, when he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Doctor Dai, you just need to prescribe medicine, our family must buy it for my mother to drink." ”

After hearing this, Dr. Dai prescribed a prescription to Lao Yan: "Three times a day in the first month, and once a month later, drink it once a day." ”

Dr. Dai is a descendant of Gu Jinli's family, and he has no admission fee, so he only asks Gu Damu to go to the town to get medicine.

Lao Yan fainted this scene and only sighed: "In the past, when I was sick and resisted the first antibody, where can I see the doctor and drink medicine again, it is really expensive." ”

The third grandmother smiled: "You just don't say a few words and enjoy your happiness." ”

After settling down the old Yan family, several families were busy pulling the grain to the workshop house for storage.

Because of the construction of shops, several houses are still old mud houses, and there is no extra place to put grain, after discussing with Gu Dashan's family, they will pull the grain to the workshop house. It is very easy to enter the mansion and set out a few rooms to store food.

Half of Gu Jinli's grain is placed in Songzizhuang and half in the workshop house, both of which have granaries that can hold a lot of grain.

After harvesting the rice, the families began to busy harvesting the grain from the dry land.

These dry lands were also bought by the old man Lu's family and the Zou family, and when they were bought, they were also planted with grain, such as soybeans, sweet potatoes, and vegetables stored in winter.

Winter wheat is planted in the south of the Jianghuai River, and after the wheat is harvested, it will be followed by soybeans and sweet potatoes, and then harvested in late autumn and before winter.

After the harvest, they were busy planting winter wheat on the dry land.

Because the winter is not as cold as in the north, winter wheat can be planted on dry land, and sowing will begin in mid to late October, and the harvest will be ripe in the summer of the next year.

They were busy from mid-October to almost November, and then they finished their farm work.

"This is still an invitation, if you don't invite someone, you will really be tired." Chen urged his waist and said: "It's not easy to be a landlord's wife, too much land can exhaust people to death." ”

However, when he thought of the grain in the warehouse, Chen was so happy that it was worth it no matter how tired he was.

However, before she could be happy for two days, the official document of the county government to increase the grain tax came down.

All food taxes are added by 10%, from 2 out of 10 to 3 out of 10.

When Chen heard the news, he scolded his mother on the spot: "Add one percent of the grain tax, how much is this?" Our family is still drinking porridge, and just if we want to eat a dry meal, we will have to increase the food tax, what do you want? The old lady is not alive! ”
