Chapter 224: Asking for Someone
Luo Zhi'er made tofu, and Miao Miao helped, first filtering the residue, then ordering tofu, and compacting the tofu at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.
I took Miao Miao and took a sickle to climb up the back hill and came back from watching some pine branches.
When he came back, he went to raise the fire in the bread kiln, put pine branches, cut the pressed tofu into pieces, and took it to the bread kiln to bake.
Master the heat while baking, and flip it so that it doesn't get too hard......
When Li Sanmao comes home, it will be dinner time.
Seeing Li Sanmao's tired sweating profusely, Luo Zhi'er said: "Husband, do you want to ask a few people in the village to pull out all the summer beans in the field and turn over the fields again?" ”
"Please? Pulled out all the summer beans? ”
Li Sanmao was stunned......
"yes, those summer beans are ruined anyway, so don't replant some other crops!"
Yes, speaking of which, he has two acres of fertile land and one acre of paddy field, and his father and mother gave them the most barren slope land in the family with poor harvests in the past.
It's just that when the summer beans are ripe, there is not much harvest in that acre......
Since the daughter-in-law said to replant other crops, let's replant them.
"Okay, but it's a matter of asking someone to pay it back...... Or is it up to the husband to pull it out himself......"
"Hey, if you can have a few pieces of silver, you can listen to me! We've got the fields done, we have other things to do. ”
"Nacheng, I'll go find someone when we have dinner!"
"Good!"
The two reached an agreement, and during the meal, they discussed what to plant in the field.
In this season, it is generally corn, soybeans, sorghum......
"Why don't you plant summer beans?"
Li Sanmao thought for a while.
"Husband, let's plant some vegetables in the fields, and sweet potatoes on the slopes of the mountains."
She originally wanted to plant rice, but now it is not suitable for it, it belongs to the northwest, and the rice will be planted in April and May, and it is too late.
"Vegetables, sweet potatoes? Daughter-in-law, vegetables can be grown, but there is no need to grow so much, we can't finish eating, and if you want to eat, we can go to the town to buy them at any time, is it possible that you will sell vegetables for a living in the future? ”
"As for sweet potatoes, no one will buy them if they sell them?"
Sweet potatoes are eaten by rural people in addition to making porridge, that is, they are fed to pigs...... He didn't think it was worth much.
Luo Zhi'er saw that the man in front of her had a serious face, and his eyes were staring at the boss, so he felt funny, "You are right when you sell vegetables for a living, as for sweet potatoes, no one buys them, it is because they have not made them into food that is needed by the market to sell!" ”
"Oh?"
Li Sanmao frowned.
"I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to smoke vegetables in a bread kiln and sell them as dried vegetables, and sweet potatoes can be made into dried sweet potatoes, sweet potato flour, and sweet potato vermicelli...... Are you still afraid that you won't be able to sell? ”
"Dried vegetables?"
"Yes, vegetables can't be stored for too long, but dried vegetables can be, which is very suitable for people who travel long distances as dry food, and is also suitable for students to eat in the school on weekdays, and more suitable for children to eat as snacks."
Li Sanmao's eyes lit up, "Hehe! Then listen to your daughter-in-law. ”
Or the daughter-in-law is smart.
He hadn't actually seen the dried vegetables and sweet potatoes she said, and he didn't know if he could eat them.
Early in the morning of the second day, seven or eight men came to Li Sanmao's house, and Luo Zhi'er got up before dawn to work, made sweet porridge, fried a few vegetarian dishes, and baked cakes......
Zhao Maogen's cattle were also invited, this cow is not cheap for a day, it runs back and forth to the town for a total of at least 40 yuan, this is a day, and the labor cost of arable land is not 60 yuan.
When Lao Li Tou saw so many people coming to the door, he didn't know why when he saw Li Sanmao Luo Zhi'er greeting him warmly.
When I ran over and asked, I found out that they had asked someone to turn over the ground.
hurriedly pulled Li Sanmao aside, and said disapprovingly: "Sanmao, you didn't do a good job in this matter, didn't you ruin the crops if you pulled out the summer beans in the field?" ”
"If there is work in this field, can you do it yourself? Why do you spend money to hire someone? ”
Zhou also ran out, and when he heard that Hua Yin was in a hurry, "Hmph! The old lady looks at you lazy bones, that is, there is no place to burn the silver, and she opens her mouth and closes her mouth and says that there is no silver to honor the two of us, but she has the heart to engage in these flowers! ”
"One or two, all of them are sloths who steal and play tricks!"
swept around, and scolded Chen's, Xiao Zhou's and other people who watched the excitement.
The scolding was ugly, but it also touched Lao Litou's heart.
"Mother, if you want to scold, scold those who have money to invite people, what are you doing scolding us?"
Xiao Zhou looked at Zhao Maogen's old scalper, his eyes were red, hum! In this three-room, I don't say I invite the boss, and the silver is given to outsiders in vain.
Chen said: "I want to be diligent, but which of you is willing to give the field to our second room, by the way, third brother, if you count the second sister-in-law, how many days do you give them, and how many days do you give the second sister-in-law?" ”
"By the way, I took care of the two dolls' meals."
"Second sister, I said that you can't carry it on your shoulders and can't carry it, are you going to help or are you going to eat and drink and mix silver? Let's step aside! ”
"You ......"
Xiao Zhou's hurriedly interrupted, her nostrils were facing the sky, she was not afraid of her Chen, what do you want to do without a man's support now?
The eyeballs turned around,
"Third brother, tell me about you, who else do you invite? Your eldest brother is at home, you can give your eldest brother all the 200 wen! ”
Luo Zhi'er looked at them with such an expression, which is why she had to build a house separately.
Before anything was done, they began to interfere.
"Yes, you all go back, hehe, go back."
Xiao Zhou's words must be, and he began to drive people away.
You look at me, I look at you, especially Zhao Maogen is so angry that he smokes.
"Sanmao, you said you, quit, say in advance, isn't this a waste of uncle going to the town to earn money?"
Li Sanmao was a little embarrassed, "No, uncle......"
"Uncle, don't be angry, since I invited you to the third room, we have the final say!"
Luo Zhi'er said loudly, coldly looking at the few people who were making trouble in front of him,
"Dad, mother, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, since we have already split up, please don't interfere in our own affairs in the third room, and you have to speak unless you pay the money."
"Since we have made a decision, we will not change it, and my father and mother said that it will be good to pay you a cent at the end of the month."
Lao Li's face was blue and white for a while, and in front of these people, this third daughter-in-law lowered his face again.
"Humph! Lao Tzu looks at you, don't regret it when the time comes, it's a good Xia Dou to ask someone to pull it out, it's obviously a waste of silver, you have to do it, a cow is sixty Wen, it's not cost-effective to put anyone there! ”
Zhao Mao was very angry to death, Luo Zhi'er said, "I think it's worth it, this is to invite Uncle Zhao to come to plough the land is sixty Wen, but, if you want manpower, Dad, how long will it take for you, your eldest brother, and Sanmao to turn over the land before?" ”
All the fields in the family need all the labor in the family, at least not a month, and the work cannot be completed, and the people are still tired.
"Isn't this time plus labor silver?"
Lao Li was suffocated,
"I'm old, what do you do?"
"Old woman, go!"
Lao Li's face was pale, and he flicked his sleeves and left.
Li Sanmao also knew that his father was for his good, but it was better to explain some things clearly, so as not to be sticky and mixed up in the future, which would be difficult to do. (End of chapter)
