172 ready to sell water
Harvest more than 400 catties of bean sprouts every day, and the results look gratifying, but the daughter-in-law is not less busy and busy.
From sifting to soaking the bean seeds, and then watering and raising the seedlings.
The four sheds took turns to take care of it, and the little time that was finally free was taken up a lot.
"Knowing my mother, I know it in my heart." Qin Xiaoyao responded with a smile.
She really wasn't ready to do it all by herself.
The straw sandals are not so short for the time being, and Yun'er and Xiaomei can help her grow bean sprouts.
There is a lot of power in numbers, and when the work is divided, everyone actually doesn't spend much more work.
"Go back to your room and rest, we'll wash the dishes." Liu Shi looked at Qin Xiaoyao again.
Knowing that his mother-in-law was distressing herself, Qin Xiaoyao did not refuse.
"Huh! That's good for you! "I answered, and I really left.
Everyone looked at Qin Xiaoyao's departing back, all smiling.
Back in the room, Qin Xiaoyao went to Song Que's side.
Song Que took advantage of the situation and pulled the person to sit down beside him.
"Good job with bean sprouts!" smiled and praised Qin Xiaoyao.
The corners of Qin Xiaoyao's mouth raised, "Don't you see who is out of the horse?" Tsundere replied.
Song Que also smiled on his face.
"The lady is talented and admires her husband."
Someone turned his head sideways and was immediately seduced by the man's good looks.
"Hehe, the husband has a sweet mouth, he should be rewarded-"
"Whew-"
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is late July, and autumn is about to begin.
In the busy and down-to-earth life of the Song family, the drought in the outside world has become more serious.
In the villages around Lingquan Town, more than half of the crops have been dried up, and only a few fields that were not too short of water in previous years have not completely dried up.
At the same time, the shortage of water in the villages and towns began to become more and more serious.
Several households in the alley have already approached the Song family and offered to buy water from the Song family.
"I have already discussed this matter with my father-in-law earlier, and the water at home can be sold out, and the price is three cents a bucket."
Qin Xiaoyao rushed to the Liu clan and the others.
"Just use our bucket to measure."
"In addition, each household is limited to four barrels per day, and if it is exceeded, it will not be sold."
"There are also four time periods for water withdrawal. They are the time of Mao, the time of noon and the time of Hai. There are 40 quotas at midday hours, 30 quotas at noon and unitary hours, and 25 quotas at midday and midnight hours. Except for these periods, we will not take out water. ”
This is also to make full use of the spring in the upper well.
After all, even if there is a lot of water from the spring in their well, it can't withstand the constant water from the well. Allow time for the wells to refill with water.
"If the neighbors come to line up at that time, pay attention to the number of people. If it is over, remind those who come later to come back when it is time to get water. Qin Xiaoyao said and looked at the Liu family.
Yes, the family's water business, she is ready to let Song Que assist the Liu family to take charge.
Selling water is as simple as placing two buckets next to the well.
When the time comes, let the people who come to buy water directly draw water from a bucket, and then pour it into their own buckets, and settle the bill according to the buckets.
All the mother and son need to do is make sure that the number of people is not exceeded, and that they collect money.
The husband has inconvenient legs and feet and is not suitable to move, but it is no problem to sit at the stone table and help register the number of people.
As for the mother-in-law, just let her guard by the well and collect the money.
Hey, there's actually no way to do it.
After all, the family has limited manpower, so they can only ask the father-in-law to help.
"Okay." Song Que responded.
"Later, I will write a notice and post it on the door, and in addition, you and your mother will go to find Aunt Sun again. Please ask her to help inform us of the news of our water sale. Again.
Aunt Sun came to their house every day to get two to three buckets of water, and they confiscated the money.
Asking her to help with this is not a problem.
"Hmm!" Qin Xiaoyao also responded.
Then, after some discussion with the family, the matter was decided.
After lunch, everyone began to split up.
Song Que went back to the room to write a notice, and Qin Xiaoyao followed Liu out and went next door.
Aunt Sun was a little surprised to see Liu and Qin Xiaoyao coming to the door.
Hurry up and let Sun Xiaoyue make tea.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not polite, and soon conveyed their intentions.
"That's a great thing! Yes! It's up to me. I'll go door-to-door later! Aunt Sun quickly responded.
Some people see that she has a good relationship with the Song family, and there are many people who ask her about the Song family's water sales these days.
The Song family now takes the initiative to sell water, and the price is only three cents a barrel, which is of course a good thing.
The important thing is that she helps the Song family, and the Song family does not charge her water money.
Her family uses three buckets of water a day, even according to the Song family's price, it is Jiuwen.
Saving nine cents a day is not a small amount!
"Thank you, Aunt Sun!" Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly thanked him.
"Thank you?! You're polite! Aunt Sun replied with a smile.
She has a good relationship with the Song family, so she naturally knows that the Song family is the daughter-in-law of her old sister.
Before, she was actually a little unhappy with the Liu family, and felt that she should not give the right to be in charge of the house to her daughter-in-law.
But the more she got along and the more she knew about the Song family, the more she understood and admired the Liu family.
This old sister of hers is not only good-sighted, but also wise and foolish.
It's a pity that she doesn't have a son, otherwise she would have wanted to find such a daughter-in-law to enter the door!
A few people were talking, and Li Daniu and Liu Xiaomei also came.
After learning what happened to Qin Xiaoyao and Liu's door, the two directly proposed that they could go to Song's house in the morning to help pick bean sprouts.
They moved to the town since they moved, and they also got a lot of care from the Song family.
Needless to say, there is also the matter of water.
The two of them went to Song's house every day to fetch water, and the Song family also confiscated the money.
Now not only in the village, but also in the town is also very short of water.
The price of the water truck that comes to sell water has risen to five cents a bucket, and the bucket used is not large. Now, water is very expensive.
"Forget it, big girl. If my sister is free, come over and help clean up. That's right, you can sort out the dishes you want first. Qin Xiaoyao said.
"Good!" Liu Xiaomei hurriedly responded.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked to a few more people for a while before going home.
As a result, except for Aunt Sun, the rest of the people followed them to the Song family.
This is already the norm.
Sun Xiaoyue was used to following her mother and went to the Song family to do embroidery work with the Liu family.
And after Li Daniu and Liu Xiaomei had lunch, they would also go to Song's house every day to report and weave straw shoes.
The main Song family's small alleyway is cool, and the Song family is also more lively.
When he got home, Qin Xiaoyao went back to his room first to find Song Que.
At this time, Song Que had already written the notice, and when he saw Qin Xiaoyao coming back, he asked Qin Xiaoyao to come over and take a look.
Qin Xiaoyao saw it, and was once again amazed by his father-in-law's one-handed calligraphy.
"It's a real person. The word Xianggong will be sought after by tens of thousands of people if it is to be passed on to future generations. ”
Song Que smiled and looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
"You don't have to be sought after by 10,000 people, just like the lady."
