Chapter 23: The Lazy Clansmen
The Xu clan came to the autumn harvest, and the momentum was huge, and there were many people from the other villagers of the three clans, as well as the Zhu and Lu clans, who came to see the excitement.
Now seeing that they don't know how to use a scythe, they all burst out laughing.
"Haha...... I didn't expect that there are people in the world who don't know how to harvest rice, haha, it's really a laughing person."
"Hey, I said that the Xu family's compound, there is no money to hire short-term workers, don't do this, sell the field to our Zhu family, you can have money to spend, and you don't have to work, it's a good thing to kill two birds with one stone."
Zhu Shou stood on the main road in the countryside and shouted to the Xu clan people who were fighting against the rice.
"Oh, young master, why are you so good to them, come up with such a good idea, you see, they are so stupid that they can't even harvest rice." Hu Yu'er covered her mouth and snickered.
Fortunately, he chose Zhu Ershao in time, otherwise he would never be able to get rid of the fate of mud legs.
What kind of Xu family's compound, still not like tenants, working in the fields by themselves?
"Hey, from the Xu family's compound, if you really don't know how to cut rice, you can ask us to collect it, our salary will definitely not be higher than others, just thirty wen a day."
As a tenant of the Zhu family's compound, he helped Zhu Shou laugh at the Xu clan.
"Patriarch Xu, you still sell the field to our Lu family, I promise not to let you suffer, the high-grade field, give you ten taels of silver per mu, you must know that in this three-clan village, except for our Zhu and Lu families, the rest of the people dare not buy."
The people in the Lu family's compound also spoke, but these words were not only mocking, but also pressed the field of fifteen taels of silver to ten taels of silver.
"Yes, from the Xu family's compound, if you sell the land to our owner, you can make a lot of money." The tenants of the Lu family's compound also helped the Lu family's compound speak.
"Shut up you people." The Xu clan roared angrily.
It's a shame.
Not to mention that the clansmen felt embarrassed, even Patriarch Xu and a few elders also felt that the old face was lost.
I thought that according to what Xu Susu said, I would try to work by myself to reduce the expenses of the clan, but I didn't expect that their clan would not even know such a simple thing as cutting rice.
"Hey, the people in this Xu family's compound, even if they are poor, I didn't expect them to have a big temper, they can't cut rice, and they don't let people say it."
The Zhu family, the Lu family, and those tenants ridiculed one after another, talking non-stop.
The general meaning is either poor, or temperamental, and everything will not be unpleasant.
So the Xu clan was ridiculed, and they almost threw the sickle and died.
Looking at the people of the Zhu and Lu clans, as well as the various ridicules of those tenants, as well as the look of the clansmen who were about to pick a child, Xu Susu simply stood up straight on the ridge.
Because I just started cutting rice, I haven't gone to the field yet, but I just cut the first-hand rice on the ridge.
Xu Susu looked at the clansmen who were still cutting rice indiscriminately and said
"Big guy, stop and listen to me."
"Susu, you say." As the patriarch of the Xu clan, the patriarch of the Xu clan was derelict in his duty not to come out as soon as possible to maintain the face of the clan in the face of the cynicism of outsiders.
Now that he heard something from his granddaughter, he supported himself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, why we are here for the autumn harvest today, others don't know, don't we know ourselves?"
"Since it's not because you can't afford to hire short-term workers to come to the autumn harvest, then why get angry for a group of outsiders' nonsense?"
When the Xu clan heard this, they instantly figured it out a lot.
Yes, their clan is already poor, and they want to change the status quo, and they don't want their children and grandchildren to be abducted.
So why pick a son now just because others ridicule you?
"But Susu, we won't use this scythe at all, otherwise, let's hire a short-term worker, we can't afford to hire it."
It also slaps the mouth of the mocker.
Seeing that the clansmen did not make trouble like in the front yard, but talked about the difficulties, Xu Susu smiled slightly
"I don't know how to use a scythe, what is there, we can learn."
"This scythe looks like it has teeth, but have you ever wondered why it has teeth?"
When the Xu clan heard this, they all shook their heads.
Xu Susu smiled.
"When you were cutting the rice just now, I also cut it, just like you, I didn't cut it, but I thought about it carefully, and this scythe is probably used like this, you see."
Xu Susu's words fell, and he bent down directly, "Big guy, look, this sickle, its teeth, is to make it easier to cut the rice." ”
"It's just that when we cut, we can't do this, but like this, and then use some skill, and then cut like this, and it's okay."
"Look, haven't I been cut off now?" Xu Susu raised the rice cut in his hand and let the clansmen see it.
Although she had never done farm work in her previous life and present life, she knew the theory and knew that the sickle could not have more teeth for no reason.
The tenants who were originally standing on the road and harvesting in the fields for the autumn harvest were in disbelief when they saw that Xu Susu had successfully cut the rice.
Especially the tenants, they will cut rice, it was taught at the beginning, but Xu Susu, a person who has never cut rice, actually found out the problem in less than a moment.
What does this mean?
It is not unreasonable to show that they are poor.
But the people of the Xu clan cheered.
Now it's okay, with Xu Susu's success, they will have no problem cutting rice.
"Sister (Sister Susu) will teach me." Xu Yuanyuan and Xu Rongrong took the lead in running to Xu Susu's side to talk.
In front of foreigners, the two still have a tacit understanding and do not quarrel.
"Okay." Xu Susu responded with a smile, and then bent down again, "Yuan Yuan, Rong Rong, you see, that's it, just cut it, it's fine." ”
"Got it." Xu Yuanyuan and Xu Rongrong nodded, then bent down and successfully cut the rice according to Xu Susu's teaching.
With the success of Xu Yuanyuan and Xu Rongrong, the Xu clan instantly gained confidence again.
The people of the Zhu and Lu clans, as well as the tenants, saw that this ridicule had passed, and everyone began to wait for them to come out again.
An hour and a half later, the people of the Xu clan, who had never done farm work, even if they had internal strength to protect their bodies, felt a little tired after repeating an action.
As soon as people are tired, laziness comes up.
"Oh, I can't do it again, I have to go to another hut."
"Me too."
"And me."
It is said that it is a thatched house, but in fact, it is to go to the thatched pile to solve it.
Looking at the Xu clan people who were either urinating or, Xu Susu was furious.
This bunch of scum.
It's really lazy, and as soon as it comes up, everything goes wrong.
"Today, if anyone goes to the thatched house more than twice, once more than half a cup of tea, he will directly reduce the amount of silver money."
As soon as they heard that they were going to chew the silver money, the Xu clansmen who were originally running towards the ridge stopped instantly and turned to look at Xu Susu
"Why?"
"That is, this person has three urgencies, how can he not go to the thatched house?"
"That's right."
