Chapter 33: Overtime

Patriarch Lu's displeased expression, others may not have noticed it, but Lu Ziqing, who was a killer in her previous life, found out, so under Patriarch Lu's retreat and retreat, she proposed again

"Since Brother Changfeng does it alone, let him help cut the sour tube rod, is this salary, it is naturally calculated by catties, dry, two catties per penny, and one to two hundred catties this morning, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Patriarch Grandpa, do you think it's okay for me to arrange it like this? ”

Patriarch Lu didn't rush to answer, but looked at Lu Changfeng who was standing behind him

"Changfeng, can you do this cutting and drying problem?"

"I can try! If I can't do it, I won't do it! Lu Changfeng didn't want to stay at home all day with nothing to do, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it well, so he said this.

And his words, when they reached Lu Ziqing's ears, changed their taste, so Lu Ziqing first sneered in his heart, and then looked at Patriarch Lu and smiled

"Then decide so!"

After Lu Changfeng's work was arranged, Patriarch Lu looked at Lu Ziqing and Lu Ziyun who were dressed in men's clothes, and sighed

"Gensheng, it's always bad for this girl to show her face, let them wear it like this in the future!"

Old Man Lu: "Hey, good! ”

The purpose of coming today has been achieved, so Patriarch Lu also took his leave

"In that case, I won't bother you, I'll go back first."

Old Man Lu: "Brother Hall, let's go back after dinner!" ”

Patriarch Lu stood up and waved his hand

"No, you still have to be busy, I won't eat, and one day, when you are free, I'll come again."

Speaking of this, Patriarch Lu looked at Lu Ziqing again and asked

"Changfeng will come tomorrow morning, no problem!"

Lu Ziqing: "No problem! ”

After sending Patriarch Lu away, Lu Ziqing asked Lu Ziyi to go to the alternate's house and talk about the knotweed.

After dinner, Lu Ziqing looked at Mrs. Lu and said

"Grandma, the knotweed collected tonight is more than 4,100 catties, so I want everyone to work hard tonight, I want to get a thousand catties tonight."

Mrs. Lu was puzzled, "Qing'er, what do you mean by this?" There is no sun at night. ”

"It's baked on the kang!" Lu Ziqing said casually.

"Lu Ziqing, are you mistaken? On this hot day, you actually want to burn the kang, are you planning to not let us sleep? Li stood up and said.

Looking at the Li family, who was the first to jump out every time, Lu Ziqing said speechlessly

"Third aunt, I didn't let you work so late, just do it when you are young, as for sleeping, everyone will squeeze it when the time comes!"

"Squeeze? How do you let us squeeze? Li still shouted loudly.

Lu Ziqing: "Third aunt, only burn four kangs, so everyone can still squeeze to sleep!" ”

Hearing the four kangs, not to mention that the Li family disagreed, even the Liu family disagreed, and said loudly

"Lu Ziqing, there are only four kangs at home, you burned it, how can we all squeeze it? And ah! Since it's drying, why don't we just dry it with fire? ”

"Yes, what's the difference between baking on a kang and baking on fire?" Li also chimed in.

Eh, Lu Ziqing stroked her forehead, this big family is really speechless! But thinking of the knotweed that couldn't be cut and dried tomorrow, Lu Ziqing still explained to them

"Auntie, third aunt, I just want to ask you, will you finish cutting and drying these more than 4,000 catties of knotweed tomorrow?

Oh, no, and those who dig knotweed at noon tomorrow, and send another 4,000 catties or so, you will definitely not be able to finish it, so can we not do it tonight? ”

After Lu Ziqing asked, she didn't wait for Liu and Li to answer, and said again

"As for the problem of sleeping, I arranged it like this, grandparents will go to sleep in the eldest brother's room when the time comes, the eldest uncle will sleep with the fourth brother, the eldest aunt will sleep with the eldest sister, the third uncle will sleep with the second brother and the fifth brother, the third aunt will sleep with Xi'er, and I will sleep with my mother! If the third uncle thinks that the three of you are too crowded, you will sleep with my brother! ”

After finishing the question, Lu Ziqing answered the reason for using fire and kang baking

"Also, this is directly baked with fire, and there will be two situations.

First: the color of this knotweed drying is not good-looking!

The second and most important point is that it is easy to smell smoky, which will destroy the original medicinal fragrance of knotweed.

We ship in large quantities, so a problem like this with a defect is not allowed! ”

Because of the smoke smell problem that Lu Ziqing said, there is really a problem, after all, the farmer will bake something, so Mrs. Lu said with a final word

"That's it!"

Hearing Mrs. Lu's words, Lu Ziqing ran to her side and hugged her arm, and said sweetly

"I know that grandma loves Qing'er the most!"

Mrs. Lu smiled and said, "Old woman, I don't love you, I feel sorry for the money, if this knotweed is broken, how can I sell it for money?" ”

Eh, this old lady Lu is really cute, if this knotweed is placed well, it will be okay to dry it in the shade at that time, but Lu Ziqing will not say, but continues to say sweetly

"Grandma doesn't hurt Qing'er, Qing'er knows it in her heart, so grandma, you are duplicitous!"

"Good, good!" Old Mrs. Lu said three good words in a row, and then looked at Lu Ziqing and said

"Qing'er, this is a thousand catties, but it takes more than two thousand catties to be raw, can this be cut out before the child?"

"That's why our family is mobilizing tonight!" Lu Ziqing shrugged and said cutely.

Although it was the first time I heard the three words of mobilization, the Lu family roughly guessed the literal meaning, so Mrs. Lu looked at the family

"Just do what Qing'er said, second daughter-in-law, after you clean up the dishes and chopsticks, go to burn the kang, the others, don't know how to cut knotweed, learn from Qing'er, everyone can be sharp, so that you can rest early!"

Mrs. Lu is the most authoritative person in the family, so she ordered everyone to go to work, of course, there is also the drive of money, after all, everyone doesn't want the knotweed to be broken and can't be sold.

Because the adults are faster in this aspect of cutting, Lu Ziqing is the same as Lu Ziyun, Lu Zixiao, and Lu Ziyi to bake knotweed.

As for Lu Zixi, because she is young, she is with Lu Ziqing.

This dried knotweed was more troublesome, so after Lu Ziqing first said what problems to pay attention to, she taught Lu Ziyun and the three of them how to dry knotweed.

In order to save time, Lu Ziqing did not dry the knotweed until it was very dry, but half dried a batch.

Because Lu Ziqing's goal is to dry it for 1,000 catties, when he looks at the half-dried knotweed with more than 1,000 catties, it is just past 1 o'clock in the morning (that is: one o'clock in the morning!). )

Looking at the last batch of cut knotweed on the kang, Lu Ziqing looked at Mrs. Lu and said

"Grandma, it's getting late, let everyone rest! As for baking here, the four of us need to be late! ”

Mrs. Lu was a little worried and said, "Qing'er, you are still young, it's not good to stay up late, let's let the adults replace you!" ”

Lu Ziqing smiled and said, "Grandma, it's okay, the four of us sisters and brothers will be able to sleep in half an hour!" ”

"It's ......." Mrs. Lu was still very hesitant, not wanting her grandchildren to work so hard.

Lu Ziqing: "Okay, grandma, I know you feel sorry for us, but grandpa and uncle still have to work tomorrow, and we children can go to bed later."

Besides, even if they let the adults come, they won't bake, right? ”

Seeing that what Lu Ziqing said was reasonable, Mrs. Lu didn't say it, but asked everyone to rest, and when she went to rest, she also told Lu Ziqing

"You must go to bed early!"

"Got it, grandma!" Lu Ziqing answered, and continued to turn over the dried knotweed.
