Chapter 215: These guys know how to eat every day
Qiuyue is now taking on the work of the house, not only to cook and wash clothes, but also to clean up the house, and to make clothes and shoes for Qiuyang and them.
Qiuyang and Qiufeng peeled corn in the warehouse every day, took two corn cobs and rubbed them together, and rubbed the corn kernels off in three or two clicks.
Chen Dashan still felt that this was a little too slow, and he thought to himself if there was anything that could be done quickly and well?
People come up with the methods.
He went to find Lao Liu, but Lao Liu couldn't think of a reason.
He said to Chen Dashan: "Why don't I make something for you and go back and promise to peel it faster than you can by hand?" ”
"What's going on?"
"Sharpen a sharp stick, take it with you, and just wait and see." As he spoke, Lao Liu took out his dick, picked out two sturdy-looking wooden sticks, and began to sharpen them.
While he was sharpening, he picked it up and looked at it, and after a while, he cut out a small object, with a handle on the back, just right to hold, and the front was pointed, and he took this and poked it directly at the corn, so that he could poke off a line at a time.
Chen Dashan looked at this thing and said, "Hey, this is good." ”
Old Liu Tou made two for him, and he took them back.
Holding a corn cob in one hand and a poke in the other, it was really possible to poke down a row at a time.
This is equivalent to opening a hole in the corn cob, and after the opening is opened, the rest is easy to break by hand.
So, a few of them, three of them poked holes with tools, and the others began to peel the seeds.
Together, they worked much faster than before.
They poked the corn here, and Little Begonia also came to help, and she held the corn cob buttons one by one.
She works just to play, but Qiuxia is different.
Her little hands were very numb.
However, with so many corn cobs, I am afraid that they will not be able to peel them all until the New Year.
Chen Dashan was also very anxious, Qiu Yue and Chen Liu couldn't come to help, so many people's cotton clothes and shoes were enough for them.
Although everyone has finished the autumn harvest and the crops have been planted, it stands to reason that there should be nothing to do, but Chen Dashan's family is still busy.
Fortunately, the brothers of the Gu family came every four or five days.
They were originally looking for Little Begonia to play, but after they came, they were caught by Little Begonia and asked them to help break corn.
And they all helped.
Peeling corn is something that Xiao Haitang can do, and Gu Ting'an is naturally capable.
Qiuyang, they played with Gu Tingwei and them last time, and now they are very familiar.
The white head and the black head grew quickly, and they came with Gu Ting'an.
Gu Ting'an worked, and they obediently lay next to him.
Sometimes the two dogs play together, whining and whimpering, and they can't move around with their corn on the cob.
It adds a lot of fun to them.
Gu Tingwei told Chen Dashan that Xiao Xia and they were back, and he would let them come over to help tomorrow.
As soon as Chen Dashan heard that Xiao Xia and they were back, he was naturally very happy.
In the days when they trained together, the relationship was very good, like brothers.
He thought he would never see them again, but now he heard that they were coming back, and he was so happy that he was so happy.
People are like this, and the big guys want their relatives and friends to be neat and tidy.
The next day, Xiao Xia and the others came.
Chen Dashan was very excited when he saw them, and asked them what they were doing?
Xiao Xia told him that they had gone to suppress the bandits, and after the king summoned the general away, they were ostracized.
Because others say that they are bandits, I resolutely do not associate with them.
They were forced to come back.
He also said that it is not peaceful outside, and that there is a big flood in the south, and many people have become homeless.
There was no rain in the north for three months in a row, and they all went everywhere to ask for food.
Chen Dashan thought of Qiuyang and the others talking about the situation in their hometown, and he was also panicked.
In the past two years, they have been in a good mood here, but they don't know that the same world is still different.
He only said, "It's good to come back safely." ”
Xiao Xia said: "Originally, we weren't sure if the uncle would take us in when we came back, but we had nowhere to go, so we thought about coming back and trying, if the uncle refused to take us in, our brothers would be ready to come to you." ”
Chen Dashan said: "Why wouldn't the uncle take you in? ”
Xiao Xia smiled and said, "Yes." Your family has harvested so much corn, but you have to step up, otherwise you won't be able to finish it until the New Year. ”
"Then everyone work hard, I'll let Qiuyue cook."
Xiao Xia said, "Can you ask my aunt to get us chili peppers to eat?" ”
Another also said, "We are so hungry for chili peppers these days." ”
"Where's the pepper this season?" Chen Dashan said angrily.
"There are still pepper seedlings, and it's not time for frost, how can there be none?"
Chen Dashan: "......"
These guys know how to eat every day.
Still, he had a smile on his face.
At noon, they got their wish to eat chili peppers, and it was their favorite leek chili pepper.
The meat is also delicious, but it is not as delicious as the chili.
Qiu Yue's whole person is going to be stupid, they have to cook three pots for a meal, they can really eat it.
The old lady was also willing to let me eat.
All boiled white rice.
The old lady doesn't speak, and the lady doesn't say either.
How much is that?
I haven't eaten much yet.
She was distressed, but she didn't say much.
On this day they were peeling corn in the warehouse again, when suddenly a carriage came outside.
The carriage stopped at the door of Chen Dashan's old house, and someone stood at the door of the old house and shouted, "Is there anyone at home?" ”
General Hei exhaled and rushed out, Chen Dashan hurriedly chased out, and saw four people standing outside, and there was a carriage parked next to it.
So he came up and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"We're looking for Chen Dashan."
"I just, what's the matter?"
"We came to buy a long-tailed chicken on the order of the county master, how much does it cost?" These two people also spoke a little strongly, and they didn't ask people whether they were selling or not, and they directly asked the price.
When Chen Dashan heard the county master, he was not happy.
Where does he want to deal with the county master?
But someone sent someone here, and they said that they wanted to buy it, but they didn't insist on it, and he couldn't refuse directly.
He said, "Selling is selling, but the price is not cheap, and I am afraid that you will not be able to afford it." ”
"How much is one?"
"This depends on the pattern of the flower, if the pattern is good, twenty taels one, if the cost is average, fifteen taels, there is no lower one." Chen Dashan opened his mouth and came.
Where is there a chicken that sells so expensive?
But he demanded a sky-high price, just to dissuade them from wanting to buy.
He didn't want anything to do with them.
But these people didn't care, and said, "Then you quickly pick two of us with good patterns, and we will bring them back." ”
