It turns out that it is almost the season to harvest acorn fruits, there are 2,000 acres of oak trees on the mountain, and there are 400 acres on the top of the mountain behind the oak garden.

Even if one acre of land only harvests 300 catties, 2,400 acres of mountains and forests, there are 720,000 catties of fruit; Even if it is less than half, it will be 360,000 catties.

But basically there is only a lot more, because even if only 30 trees are planted on one acre of land, each tree only needs to collect ten catties, which is enough for this number. However, there are more than 30 trees per acre of land, and a tree may not receive more than 10 catties of fruit, which is almost enough on average.

This still refers to those oak trees that have become forests, and the oak forests specially cultivated for planting fungus also have two or three thousand acres, and they can also harvest some fruit, but less.

Last year's acorn fruit harvest was hundreds of thousands of catties, and the family could not use it to feed the pigs and chickens, nor could they spare manpower to make acorn flour, so they had to sell it cheaply. There will be more this year, and as the trees grow into forests, there will be more and more in the future until they stabilize.

So Huaizi discussed with Chrysanthemum and cooperated with Aoki to establish a workshop, specializing in the production of acorn flour, potato flour, lotus root flour and potato vermicelli, and let Aoki manage it, and the Zhang family couldn't spare anyone to take care of it.

"This workshop should be built on the edge of the Xiaoqing River, and the stone mill will be driven by water power, otherwise it will definitely not be possible to use people to push the mill." Huaizi said to Aoki, this question he had obviously thought about for a long time.

Chrysanthemum spreads out the notebook and writes quickly with a quill pen.

Aoki nodded: "It's built in the village...... downstream of the house."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yunlan hurriedly interrupted him and said, "I think it's better to build upstream." The section of the Xiaoqing River that flows out of Xiaoqingshan, the water is very urgent, and it is not good for the water mill to be there? Besides, the downstream is all fields, and it is not as comfortable as the mountainside. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled: "Sister Yunlan is right, it's better to be on the side of the mountain." The land there is also easy to buy, and if it is downstream, our workshop is in the middle of the field. People come and go, and it's very annoying. ”

Aoki smiled appreciatively at his daughter-in-law and said, "Then according to what Yun Lan said, it will be built on the side of the mountain." I was afraid that the people in the village would gossip. said that we blocked the water potential of the mill, if it was built in the corner of Xiaoqingshan, far away from the mill in the village, we would not be afraid. ”

Huaizi nodded: "This can't hinder the house in the village." ”

After Qingnan Village became rich, he built a rice milling house by the river, saving him from eating rice noodles and going to the market to exchange them, or to use them at home to make rice.

Aoki knocked on the bamboo a few times and said, "This matter has to be hurried." To build a water wheel, with a stone mill, but also to debug, but also to equip the screen, there are many things. Besides, our house is not as large as the mill in the village, and the amount of water is large, and I am afraid that the two water wheels are not enough. I went back to Fang's house and asked a master to help. They've been making rice threshing machines for a long time, and they're good at this kind of thing. ”

Huaizi hugged the back of her head with both hands and leaned back in the chair. He sighed comfortably and said with a smile: "You just have to go." I had a conversation with Steward Song before, and he said that this matter is very easy, but he just sent a master to help. ”

Then they discussed the manpower, money and other matters to be invested, and it was agreed that all the invested property would be shared between the two families, and the manpower for the work would be arranged by the Zheng family, and the Zhang family would only send one account office to facilitate Aoki's management in the future.

Because the acorns were to be sold to the workshop at a price, Zhang Huai said that the Zhang family only accounted for 40% of the shares, and the Zheng family accounted for 60%. Aoki nodded without objection, and so it was settled.

After the discussion, Liu Yunlan smiled and said, "Lai Xixin built a courtyard and moved out of the garden on the set. Just tidy up the garden and build a few shops in front, and these things at home will be good for takeout. ”

Aoki smiled and said, "You want to open a shop?" I said I wasn't in business. As long as I work at home, even the fungus is sold on a piece of acacia ......"

Chrysanthemum hurriedly said: "Brother, Sister Yunlan is very capable. In the past, I was just busy with housework when I gave birth to a baby at home, but now I have this opportunity to open a shop and do it well, and it will be easy to do in the future. We can't expect to be happy in everything, he's really become a grocery store, selling everything, not like a show. ”

Several people laughed.

Huaizi smiled at Aoki and said, "No matter how difficult it is, you have to try to do it." We have to go out slowly, and we can't always expect others to sell things. I also have to take advantage of the time to go to Sanyuan County to buy land to plant bamboo and buy shops, so it is better for you to open a shop here in Xiatangji. Chrysanthemum and I can't give birth to three heads and six arms, my sister-in-law has the ability, why don't you make this money? It's not that there is no place to open a shop. ”

Aoki waved his hand and said, "Sensei said, let's do it!" Why are these days getting busier? ”

Huaizi smiled and said, "What's the hurry? The gourd can help you when you see it. ”

After laughing for a while, I heard laughter outside, and it turned out that Liu Heizi and a few of them came back from catching mountain frogs, so they went out to see together.

In the courtyard, a few little babies surrounded the bulging sack, amazed.

Huang Dou stood on tiptoe, looked at the lantern in Liu Heizi's hand, looked into the open sack, and asked in surprise: "Why is it yellow-skinned, not green-skinned?" Woohoo! It's big, like a toad. ”

Zi Ji dragged the red pepper and wanted to go up to see it, but when he said this, she hurriedly shrank her neck and stepped back, not daring to look at it again-she had seen the toad, it was ugly and dead, and there was white pulp on her body.

When Red Pepper saw it, she comforted her like an adult: "Purple eggplant is not afraid." This yellow dog is better looking than a toad, and it doesn't have so many small bags on it. ”

Zheng Changhe happily said to his little grandson: "Otherwise, why don't you call it a yellow dog, isn't it because it is covered in yellow skin." Soybeans, Ming'er asked Grandma Ma to burn a big pot for you to eat. ”

When Huang Dou heard this, he excitedly pulled his grandfather's back and jumped straight.

Heipi took another sack and asked Zheng Changhe to take half of it back. As a result, when it fell out, a mountain frog jumped out, dressed in earthy yellow hemp skin, about the size of a man's fist, and fled to the west across the courtyard, causing Qingshan and the others to scream and chase after them.

He hurriedly said: "Don't chase it, let it go." ”

The little babies stopped, but the rhubarb screamed and chased after him, and the mountain frog had already jumped into the bushes, and it was so tall that it could not find the little thing.

After dividing the mountain frogs, Aoki and Huaizi invited two elders to the hall and talked about the construction of the workshop.

Zheng Changhe and Zhang Dazhuan looked at each other and smiled, and said, "Do whatever you want." Dad's old bones will help you run errands, and then there are things in the field, and Dad can also take care of them, so that you don't have to worry about it. ”

Zhang Dazhuan said with a smile: "Yes, that's our old business, these workshops, business, etc., we are not very familiar with it, you just do what you think, you don't need to ask our old - if you ask, you will ask in vain." ”

The four of them all laughed, so they decided to do it, and tomorrow Aoki and Huaizi will be set up.

It's the day of the autumn harvest again, and the workshop is going to be built again, and Aoki and Huaizi are busy. The piece of land at the exit of Xiaoqinghe had been bought, and a group of people had set up a simple shed, and they were busy there, and all the carpenters, bricklayers, and stonemasons were invited, and the sound of whirring wood and clanging knocking sounded all over the place.

Liu Yunlan ordered someone to clean up the garden on the market, and the shop was also built, and it will open on the first day of September.

Chrysanthemum is also very busy, and she has also built a small workshop.

Originally, roasted lotus leaf chicken, roasted fish and other things were made by Aunt Liu with cherries and yellow wheat, and sold them in Laixi's shop, which not only sold chrysanthemum chicken, fish, bamboo shoots and other things, but also helped Liu Xiaomei earn some fat powder money.

Nowadays, there are more and more chickens fed by chrysanthemums, and this Qingshan lotus leaf chicken also has some reputation, so she discussed with Laixi and Xiaomei, so that they could expand the shop, open up a lobby, and carefully decorate it, specializing in selling this cooked food.

In this way, Aunt Liu will be too tired to do this again. So, Chrysanthemum took Ding Er's sister-in-law in and helped Cherry take care of the kitchen, and from then on, the kitchen was handed over to Cherry. Aunt Liu brought four or five daughters-in-law to specialize in cooked foods such as lotus leaf chicken.

Because this business sells things to eat directly, Chrysanthemum doesn't worry about others, so it's better to let Aunt Liu take care of it, and she is used to it.

So next to the courtyard of the Zhang family's house, three small courtyards were built, and the courtyard was arranged, specializing in roast chicken, fish, roast rabbit and other things.

Why do chrysanthemums have to be made at home, instead of being sold at the market? The main thing is to ensure that the taste is pure.

The chicken and fish stewed with yellow mud and fire ashes are very special. The conditions on the set are insufficient, and the taste is not so fragrant and delicious when it is hurriedly burned, which is also the reason why Laixi's Qingshan lotus leaf chicken has been selling well. It's not difficult for others to learn if they want to, and they can follow it if they don't do much; If you do too much, the mud and firewood are all problems, and you have to find a place to take out the garbage.

After the workshop opened, the first batch of 40 lotus leaf chickens, 40 lotus leaf fish, 10 lotus leaf rabbits, as well as large jars of braised bamboo shoots, dried stir-fried mushrooms and fungus, glutinous rice lotus, braised eggs, chicken heads, chicken feet, chicken wings, chicken offal, pickled vegetables and large intestines were transported to the market, Aunt Liu cleaned up and entered the courtyard with a smile to gossip with chrysanthemums.

"I didn't expect to be old and old, and I became a steward." She smiled with her eyebrows and eyes stretched, and she looked very accomplished.

It was not long after breakfast, Chrysanthemum had just finished settling the accounts, and sat under the peach tree at the door of the east chamber with the yam in her arms and talked to Grandma Liu.

Seeing her coming, he shouted that Hongjiao brought a small stool for her to sit on, and said with a smile: "People always have to be busy, only then can there be hope for this day, and it will be interesting to live." ”

Grandma Liu held a big white cat in her arms, touched the cat's back with her dry hands, glanced at her daughter-in-law, and said slowly: "But you have to keep an eye on their work, and the food must be cleaned and cooked thoroughly, so as not to cause trouble for your wife." ”

Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "Do you still use your old man to teach me?" If anyone can do this job, why is my wife looking for me? I don't have much ability, isn't it just that I've been with my wife for a long time, so that my wife can rest assured! ”

Grandma Liu nodded, stopped talking, and smiled at Red Pepper playing with her younger brother. She sat on a small stool, put a bamboo plate on her lap, and picked out various carved wooden blocks from it to teach yams to read.

Thanks to my sisters' support for the ugly chrysanthemum, I ask for pink at the end of the month ()
