99. Harvest wheat and plough the ground to plant miscellaneous grains

When it was time to harvest the wheat, Yao Lao Wu had already made two snack trucks, and Song Lingxue and Aunt Liu discussed it again, if someone wants to sell stinky tofu and burnt fairy grass, they must rent a car, which can be regarded as a signboard.

Each car is calculated on a monthly basis, with a rent of 500 wen per month, and the purchase price of stinky tofu and roasted fairy grass is lower, and a bowl is calculated at one penny, but their selling price cannot exceed three yuan, which can also ensure that the market is not disorderly, and they can also make money.

This sounds like a no-brainer, but in the end, as long as you don't know how to do business every month, you can at least earn a tael of silver, and it's okay to have an extra two, two, three, or two, this is much better than men going to the dock to do hard labor, so Song Lingxue believes that there must be many people who are willing to come.

In fact, it is also a market problem, after all, there are several snack cars, and the west market in the town is so big, and if two cars are gone, no matter how much business will be divided, so Song Lingxue thought about it for a while and felt that the town next door was also okay, in fact, there was a Daxiang Town thirty miles north of Yaojia Village, just because Yaojia Village belonged to Huaihua Town, and it was ten miles closer than there, so people here like to go to Huaihua Town to buy things and catch up with the market, and almost no one goes to Daxiang Town over there.

But you can't care about the distance of ten miles in business, and although you are not familiar with it, it would be good to go a few more times, and it will be beneficial to the future if the road is opened.

The first two snack trucks were made, one was rented to Aunt Liu's eldest brother and nephew, and the other was rented to the brother and sister-in-law of Da Niu's daughter-in-law, because it was just started, and they were afraid that they would not be skilled, so Song Lingxue and Aunt Liu discussed it and asked them to go to Daxiang Town.

The good thing is that Aunt Liu's mother's eldest brother and their father and son have been to Daxiang Town, and they are quite familiar with it, and he took the brother and sister-in-law of the big cow daughter-in-law, and it can be regarded as someone to help take advantage of it, I heard that the wharf there is a little bigger than Huaihua Town, although it is also because of the drought for too long The wharf has been temporarily stopped, but the West Market there is still prosperous, although the two of them and two snack cars are in the West Market, but a family rented a corner, one in the old east and one in the old west, far away from no one affects anyone.

And the two families also know that it is not easy to do business, they are learning the methods taught to them by Aunt Liu, riveting enough to shout and publicize and let people try it, etc., and even the first day to do business is also sold in the afternoon, all of them are sold out, both of them are almost about 200 yuan, and the cost can be about 70 or 80 yuan, which makes the two families very happy, but they also know that the first ten days are free of their car rental fees, and they will collect money later, but the two families are still very happy.

Let's not talk about these for the time being, because Song Lingxue's family has begun to enter the time of wheat cutting, and it can be said that the entire Yaojia Village has begun to be busy.

However, Song Lingxue is not too tired, because several men in the family are very capable, not to mention Yao Dazhuang and the eldest and second eldest The three main forces of work, even the third son Shi Qing, who came back from vacation, also changed into a short shirt and worked in the field, not at all because he was a scholar, and he worked very hard.

Yao's family is full of wheat, and this year's harvest is not good, two acres of first-class fields are good, can harvest fifty percent of previous years, then the other two acres can harvest up to three percent of the good.

So this year, although Song Lingxue still followed the ground, she only needed to collect the wheat straw pile and hug it to the ground, tiredness is certain, but it is much better than bending over to cut wheat.

There is also Song Lingxue found that Yao Dazhuang's work is obviously much slower than Yao Shishi and Yao Shizhu's two sons, even Yao Shiqing also faintly surpasses him, which makes her can't help but think about the change of this person, Yao Dazhuang used to do a job, but now look at it, it's not that he is unwilling to do it, but there is a feeling that cutting wheat is very unskilled, Song Lingxue can't help but snort a few times, and I don't know what this Yao Dazhuang's core is like? At least seeing this, Song Lingxue didn't think that he was a farmer.

Just like her, even if she completely grasps all the memories of the original owner Yang Lihua, she still can't master many things, such as although the original owner didn't do a good job of embroidery before, but it is not a problem to make a dress and sew a patch or something, but in the hands of Song Lingxue, the needle and thread are disobedient.

and going to the stove room to cook on the fire, Song Lingxue is completely a master of paper, let her teach this Liu family will definitely be able to make a lot of delicious food, if she lets her get started by herself, okay! That is a long time old, the fire is not good at cutting vegetables, and kneading dough can be kneaded all over the body, so Song Lingxue is very cautious and tries not to do it, and occasionally puts on the score of being a mother-in-law, although no one says anything, but she is always a little unbearable, but she can only be selfish for her own plans.

Two days later, Song Lingxue found that Yao Dazhuang seemed to have mastered the essentials, and before the children at home were puzzled, he finally looked a little bit like before, and the progress of cutting and harvesting wheat was much faster.

The Yao family's combat effectiveness is not built, four acres of land in less than four days, all of them were cut and gathered to the ground, pulled to their own wheat field with a rack car, and pressed over and over again with a big stone roller after the stall was dried, but unfortunately there was no cattle at home and could only be pulled by people, and the father and son were pulled by a few people, Song Lingxue was also distressed by the red strips on the shoulders of several people, so she asked the Liu family to cut two catties of pork belly, and the family ate meat for three meals a day, which inevitably caused the children next door to cry and greedy, and Yao Liangzi's daughter-in-law's resentment value rose several times.

After the ears of wheat were completely pressed and hulled, they were screened several times through the lifting field and the large sieve, and then they were completely cleaned, and the wheat field was cleaned after the wheat straw stacks were pierced, and the new wheat of this year was dried under the big sun for a few days, and then it was packed in a sack and pulled back to the house, and put it in the granary, just waiting for the officials who collected taxes to come, and the rest of the grain after paying the imperial grain was the grain of the common people for a year.

Song Lingxue felt a little sad when she thought about it, no wonder most of the farmers here were poor, not that they couldn't do it, but no matter how much they did, they didn't have much to eat!

After the wheat is harvested, the land has to be ploughed and turned over to plant the crops in the autumn, Song Lingxue didn't want the men in the family to pull the plough like a cow this time, but went to the house of the seventh master to rent cattle, his family has no one so the land is rented to others, so the cattle are very idle, but who comes to his family cattle is not for nothing, ten cents a day and have to manage the cattle to eat grass, so the village people rarely come to rent cattle, Song Lingxue did not feel sorry for the dozens of cents, and directly spent fifty wen and rented cattle for five days.

With the big yellow cattle of the seven masters, it took only two days for the Yao family to plow the ground, and the remaining three days were planted with miscellaneous grains in the field, one acre of bud grain, one acre of soybeans and another acre of mung beans and red beans, and the remaining acre was planted with sweet potatoes, it happened to rain some time ago, and there was no need to water too much water after planting sweet potatoes.

And those acres of sand and gravel land are all planted with artichoke eggs, which are the main vegetables in winter, and they have to be paid attention to, and in addition to artichoke eggs, there is nothing else to grow in this sand and gravel land for the time being.
