Since Xiao Gongzi left that day, there was a rainstorm, and the sky was not beautiful, and it had been raining for a week.

The crops in the village are in a hurry, and the winter wheat is about to be harvested, and God has no intention of paying attention to it, if it continues like this, the winter wheat in the field will rot in the ground.

You must know that this winter wheat is not only a family's chew for a year, but also a summer tax to be deducted from this winter wheat, some families are so anxious that they simply brave the rain to harvest the wheat in advance, although they can only get seven or eight percent of the harvest, but it is better than the last grain without harvest.

Due to the heavy rain, even the only private school in the village had to take a holiday.

Shanzi looked at his father with a sad face at home, and said to Father Lin: "Dad, otherwise, our family will also go and collect it." ”

Father Lin looked at the sky and said without confidence: "Don't worry, let's wait for another two days." ”

Lin Mei looked at the sky and was worried, this rainy day can not dry the bean skin, this is the most profitable silver at present, sad, especially nostalgic for the weather forecast of the previous life, although it is occasionally inaccurate, but it is good to treat people to have a preparation in advance, which is like relying on the sky to eat now, all gambling on luck.

It rained for two more days, but it became less and less so that it stopped that night.

The next day, the sun was shining, and the people in the village were cheering for God's favor, and after a morning of drying the ears of wheat in the field, the wheat was yellow and golden, and the growth was exceptionally good, and the ears of wheat were like a little girl's braids, bending the waist of the wheat stalks.

Father Lin took Lin Mei to check the wheat field, and this scene made Lin Mei can't help but praise the wonder of nature.

"Dad, when will our family harvest wheat?" Lin Mei asked.

Father Lin peeled an ear of wheat, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and said happily: "The day after tomorrow, this wheat will be ripe after another day." ”

"Okay, then I'll collect it the day after tomorrow, and prepare it at home tomorrow." Lin Mei was also looking forward to receiving it early, for fear that it would rain again.

On the way, he met the fourth uncle, Lin Quan, who also took Lin Feng to check the wheat field.

"Second brother, when will your family harvest wheat?" Lin Quan asked.

"I will receive it the day after tomorrow, how did your family arrange it?" Lin Xiao replied.

In previous years, because Lin Mei's family had few fields, Lin Quan took Lin Feng and the two brothers to work all day to help harvest the wheat, and then Lin Mei followed Lin Xiao to help the fourth uncle's family harvest wheat, and his family had a lot of fields, and it took three days to harvest it. Wang was in charge of a group of people's food in the second family.

This year is estimated to be the same, so Lin Quan asked this question.

Lin Quan was worried about the rain and said, "My family will collect it tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, I will work with Lin Feng and Lin Hai to help your family collect it." ”

That's okay, Daddy Lin nodded and said, "Okay, then tomorrow I'll bring Shanzi to harvest wheat, Lin Mei won't come this year, she still has to make tofu at home." ”

Lin Mei is doing tofu trading, Lin Quan knows it, and he also knows that this business can't be delayed, these days are the time when business is good, and said to Lin Mei: "Big niece, you also leave a plate of tofu for my family, it's easy to cook these days, I'll let your fourth aunt take the silver to get it in a while." ”

These few days when the farmer family collects grain is the most tiring time, and they usually eat more sparingly, and they will also make more grain and meat vegetables these days to reward the family members who are tired for a day.

But a plate of tofu is only sixteen yuan, a piece of three yuan, and it is only forty-eight yuan, this bit of silver Lin Mei still doesn't look at in her eyes, Lin Mei naturally understands that this is the time to build a good relationship, so she agreed: "Okay, fourth uncle, you let the fourth aunt come to pick it up in the evening, but forget about this silver, when I honor your second elder." ”

Lin Mei's words made Father Lin very face-saving, and said happily: "A few pieces of tofu are not worth much, you and my brother have a meal, just eat it at home and get it, why do you want to raise the money." ”

After speaking, Lin Quan was no longer polite, and finalized the start of work the next day, and the group of four went home separately.

Lin Mei estimated that the tofu business would be very good in the next few days, so she increased the amount of tofu before the wheat harvest began, and made five more plates of tofu for backup. In the evening, Boss Jia personally came to the door to ask for an increase in the supply of tofu tomorrow.

This is to think about it with Lin Mei, Lin Mei said: "I have added the amount of five plates of tofu, do you see enough?" ”

"It's not enough, there are a lot of people who come to the store to order tofu today, and I estimate that I have to add another five plates." Boss Jia said.

Lin Mei beat the drum in her heart, this is ten boards, plus the previous amount is twenty boards, this is not the amount of dried tofu, this day's work, unless you don't sleep, you can't do so much.

Seeing her hesitation, Boss Jia also knew that this amount was relatively large, and said: "Actually, I wanted to mention to you before, this business is becoming more and more prosperous, you can simply buy two servants to help you do it, first, to prevent the craftsmanship from being stolen, and second, to make it easier for you." ”

Lin Mei also thought about recruiting, but she was afraid that her skills would be stolen, so she didn't dare to recruit.

But Lin Mei didn't dare to think about buying people, they were all peasant families, not landlords' wives, and they also bought servants, if they let Father Lin know, they would definitely be the first to agree.

But if you don't buy people in this era, how to solve the theft of craftsmanship?! Lin Mei was entangled in her heart, but she didn't open her mouth to refute, and said: "Okay, anyway, it's just a lot of demand these days, so I'll think about it after this busy time." ”

The sudden increase in the amount of tofu surprised Father Lin, thinking that it would be a good thing to be able to do more, so he yelled at Mu Xiu's mountain at home, asking him to go up the mountain to chop more firewood while it was not dark.

The whole family joined the tofu-making team.

Busy until midnight, thinking that she would have to go to Lin Quan's house to help harvest wheat on the second day, Lin Mei urged Father Lin and Shanzi to go to sleep.

Shanzi looked at her tired sister, lying on the kang and secretly made up her mind again that she must be admitted to fame as soon as possible and repay her sister for her hard work in the future.

After staying up all night, Lin Mei made eleven plates of tofu, plus a total of twenty-six plates made during the day.

It's too late to make dried tofu, so you can only use the excess from the first two days.

Peach and Xi'er couldn't stand it until the night, and went to bed early, Xi'er was thinking about her sister, and before dawn, she got up to make breakfast for her sister and asked her to go back to the house for a while.

Lin Mei was too sleepy, and told her to watch the fire carefully, and there was bean curd left in the pot, so that she could get some baked cakes.

I slept too deeply this night, and when Lin Mei woke up, it was almost noon.

I hurriedly got off the kang to get dried tofu, and saw that Xi'er took the peach to learn from Lin Mei's before, and had already spread the tofu slices on the clean kang, and also grinded two buckets of bean juice out, and I was glad that there was such a small helper at home.

Lin Mei didn't say a word, just ate some breakfast casually and started making tofu.

After another busy day, it was Lin Mei's turn to harvest wheat.

Lin Mei prepared the tofu early, and said to the guy who came to pick up the goods: "My family harvests wheat today, and the amount of tofu tomorrow will be less, you tell Boss Jia." ”

As soon as the guy picked up the goods, Wang came to the door with Xing'er, Xiao Wang's and Lin Hui.

Wang was grateful to Lin Mei for the plate of tofu she sent, although it didn't cost a few dollars, she could save her from going to town again. I came to Lin Mei's house early this year.

Lin Mei saw that the family was also well-handed, so she explained to the Wang family what dishes to cook at noon, and also went to the field with a sickle.

After a busy day, Lin Mei's tired waist couldn't straighten, but looking at the piles of wheat ears, Lin Mei was still very pleased.

Daddy Lin was tired and his right leg was throbbing and aching, knowing that it was the tiredness of the past two days, which caused the previous foot injury, so he was busy pouring some notoginseng powder out to take it.

When Lin Mei saw it, she hurriedly made a basin of hot water for Daddy Lin's feet and massage.

Intentionally or unintentionally, he said that Boss Jia suggested buying people before, but when Father Lin heard it, he thought that Lin Mei felt sorry for him, so he objected directly: "It's not a person with a lot of money, just rest for a few days." ”

Lin Mei was speechless, and said in her heart: This cheap dad is too sincere, isn't it good to have someone to serve you, you have to suffer yourself.
