289 The Harvest of the Northland
With this rain, it seems that everything is starting to go well.
Half a month later, the potatoes were harvested, and an average of more than a dozen seedlings were harvested, all of which weighed more than half a catty, and the old farmer was full of joy.
Because of the early harvest, potatoes can be planted in the field, and some beans can be ordered.
The farmers summed up, or potatoes are cost-effective, the yield of beans is not high, and it is troublesome to harvest, so it is better to plant a crop of potatoes.
However, she has gone to plant potatoes, what can she do if she doesn't have soybean oil raw materials?
So in the end, Luo Xiaoqiao came up with a price adjustment strategy to encourage some people to plant by raising the price of soybeans.
However, there are a lot of people who are stealing business with Luo Xiaoqiao at this time.
The main reason is that the farmers in the surrounding villages are staring at the potatoes in Luojia Village.
Luo Xiaoqiao thought about it, and collected it from the villagers at the price of two cents and one catty.
Who would have thought that on the day of the harvest, villagers from other villages came to take a look, and when they saw the huge potatoes, they all knew that they could be eaten, and the Luo family still harvested them all year round, and they couldn't help it.
Before Luo Xiaoqiao could let it out, half of Luojia Village, except for the seeds left by his own family, had already been sold to other families as seeds.
After Luo Xiaoqiao found out, he just smiled and didn't regret it.
It's good, there are more people who plant it, and her workshop will have more raw materials in the future.
"Xiao Qiao has opened a new workshop again, old man, I'll talk to my mother's house to go, there are a few concubines over there, they are all good, I'll ask them if they come."
Wang, the daughter-in-law of the village chief, said happily while walking out with a basket.
The potatoes in the field are almost all cleaned up, and the wheat is still a month, and during this gap period, everyone is idle at home.
Everything that can be used in Luojia Village has been used, and the recruitment of Luojia Workshop has already begun to expand to the surrounding villages. I can't count the people who inquire about the news with red eyes every day.
Wang's maiden home is in Gaozhai Village, two miles to the north.
When Wang's sister-in-law heard that Luojia Village was going to recruit workers again, she was so happy that she couldn't find the north, and she chattered vigorously in the house.
"Auntie, look at this, look at this, it's so good. It's a good time for your village, and the potatoes have been harvested and the wheat has been planted. ”
"Yes, sister-in-law, so, Xiao Qiao can't forget the villagers, don't you let me ask if there is a good thing."
"How many people will be recruited this time?" The old lady of the Wang family sat on the kang and listened quietly.
His son is busy and hasn't earned a lot of money, so he can be regarded as a positive businessman.
"First of all, I want twenty women, it has to be a reliable family, I see that Yueying and Lan Fang's family in our village are good, so I will come and ask." Wang smiled.
"The relationship is good, the relationship is good, and the two families are diligent people. I'll go and call them, and their house will be overjoyed. ”
When Wang's father heard this, he couldn't sit still anymore, and took two steps to the threshold.
Without much work, the two middle-aged women who came over, as well as the men of their family, also came to listen, and all the people who came looked at the Wang family with a look of expectation and apprehension.
"Girl, don't be nervous. Let me tell you first, if you work for four hours a day, you will be paid 20 wages, and you will be rewarded for doing a good job. If you are willing to live in Luojia Village, you can live there, if you don't want to, as long as you don't delay your work, you can do it yourself. ”
Wang said with confidence, and Father Wang's face was also proud, as if he was the one who gave such a great favor.
"Hey, hey." The women didn't have any opinions, only nodded their heads in agreement, they naturally heard about the generous bonuses of the Luo family.
The opportunity at this time is a huge pie for them, and everyone who comes is full of gratitude to the Wang family.
"If there's nothing else to do, why don't you go back with me and let the owner show you?" Wang said.
"Okay", Yueying and Lan Fang went home and simply packed their packages, put on their most decent clothes, and added Wang's sister-in-law, and the three of them followed.
The three of them didn't say anything all the way, only Wang kept talking about the precautions of the Luo family's workshop.
The servants were anxiously looking forward to it, and quickened their pace to follow her.
When I arrived at Luo's house, I saw that other daughters-in-law had also arrived, and they were busy in the workshop.
"Xiao Qiao, this is my mother's sister-in-law, Yueying and Lan Fang, can you take a look?" When Wang entered the house, he found Luo Xiaoqiao and asked.
"It's just right", Luo Xiaoqiao walked out with an apron, "Try cutting potatoes over there, practice first, and after two months, if there are more things, you will have to do a lot of them." ”
When the women heard that they had to do a lot of work, they knew that it was a long-term job, and they were immediately happy, and they all followed Aunt Wei to the workshop.
Luo Xiaoqiao didn't harvest many potatoes, and this time the main thing was to let the women get used to it.
Some people used to make potato chips, and others made vermicelli.
In view of the small number of steam engines, good steel was used on the blade, and most of them were requisitioned for agricultural machinery.
Therefore, the process of vermicelli is processed by the most traditional hand.
After the women were washed, they put it in the grinding plate, and the potatoes were quickly squeezed into a pulp, and then mixed with water, stirred, floured, cut, and scalded with boiling water...... until it is taken out to dry.
The women who came were all shocked, looking at the full noodles drying in the yard, and couldn't believe that they made it themselves.
Not to mention those involved in making potato chips, the potatoes are directly placed on the cutter, directly cut into countless slices, and then there are procedures such as drying and sprinkling, which is really very simple.
Before I knew it, four hours had passed.
The "Ding Dong ......" workshop has arranged a special person to remind the time.
The women are waking up from a dream, and that's the end of it? It's not tiring at all, it's easier than a busy day at home.
"Okay, let's do it in the future, after the potatoes are cleaned up, I will go to other workshops to help, and when I come down, I will continue to do it", Luo Xiaoqiao said a few words, and then let them go home.
There was a sound of greetings and laughter at the entrance of the village, and Yueying and the others put down their shyness, but they were also satisfied.
This peaceful day passed very quickly, and on the day of the wheat harvest, the Luo family's workshop was closed as usual.
This year's harvest has long been a sure thing, with the help of An Xiangdong's fertilizer, one acre of Shangtian can receive a yield of three and a half stones, and the newly opened wasteland is also in the amount of two stones, Luo Jinrong and others are very satisfied.
If it goes on like this, even if there is no hunger in the world, it is still barely possible to solve one's own food and clothing in the long run.
The most exciting thing is the rice in those cities.
"Princess, are you here?" Wang Shoushi knew Luo Xiaoqiao's identity, and he brought the tenant farmer over to say hello with trepidation.
"Wang Zhuangtou, what is this for? We're all old acquaintances, just like last year, and we're still called the same. ”
Luo Xiaoqiao asked Sun Dianfu to help him up, and the other tenant farmers who were kneeling on the ground also got up.
"How's it going?"
