84 Stone mills worked successfully

For two days in a row, Lin Qianqian shipped konjac tofu to several shopkeepers in the vegetable field sold well every day, and several shopkeepers received money and received soft hands, and several people happily increased the amount of purchases.

The shopkeeper Sun, who sells vegetables, orders an extra 100 catties every day, and the daily order volume reaches 200 catties.

The shopkeeper who sells dim sum has an additional order to 200 catties.

Zhao, who sells vegetables, has an additional order to 100 catties.

The shopkeeper Yao, who sells fish, has an additional order to 100 catties.

In this way, Lin Qianqian must ship 600 catties every day, which is twice as much as the previous one, and he can receive 1,200 yuan per day, that is, more than one or two pieces of silver.

The Lin family laughed from ear to ear every day, and now Lin Qianqian didn't feel anything when he came back to eat meat every day.

The family's income of more than one or two silver a day, spending more than 100 yuan to buy some meat and vegetables to eat, is nothing at all.

Father Lin, Aunt Lin and Lin Mingming hoped to arrive at the vegetable market early every day, so they hurriedly handed over the goods and collected the money.

Lin Qianqian was a little afraid to go to the vegetable market.

Every time she handed over the goods and received the money, she ran away in a hurry, and when she saw another shopkeeper coming towards her, she had to spare it.

No, I'm afraid that people will ask her to add orders.

Now the village's water supply has become a problem, and they have to make four trips a day to carry water from the Tay River, which took two hours, and most of the day passed.

They went out together as a family, and it took half an hour to make more than 100 catties of konjac tofu, and now the daily order has risen to 600 catties, and they have to spend nearly three hours a day to make konjac tofu, which is more than half a day has passed.

There is only so much time in a day, and in addition to these two most time-consuming projects, they also have to find time to make deliveries, dig konjac, go up the mountain to chop wood, and prepare meals for three meals a day.

In the past two days, several people in the family have been spinning continuously, and there is almost no time to rest.

Before the stone grinding is done, the efficiency of making konjac tofu has not been improved, and Lin Qianqian really doesn't dare to take too many orders at all.

After delivering the goods on the third day, Lin Qianqian almost rushed to Darong Street.

Because today is the day of delivery of the stone mill that I agreed with Master Li.

Lin Qianqian, Lin Mingming, Father Lin, and Aunt Lin walked towards Master Li's house.

In the distance, Lin Qian saw the stone mill placed at the door, and the joy in her heart instantly overflowed her face.

She ran over and looked around the stone mill for a long time, and after making sure that the shaped stone mill was exactly the same as described in the book, she almost hugged the stone mill and cried.

In the past two days, she was so tired that her back hurt, and if it weren't for the money, she wouldn't want to do it at all.

It would be nice to have a stone mill, so that their work efficiency can be greatly improved, which can save a lot of time, and the family can finally breathe a breath and take a good rest.

Master Li stood aside with his hands behind his back and asked, "Girl, what's wrong?" It's what you want, right? ”

"Yes, yes, that's what it looks like, come, four taels of silver, then I'll take the stone mill away." Lin Qianqian happily paid four taels of silver.

This time she gave broken silver, so she didn't have to count it.

Master Li took the money and immediately put it in his pocket, and beckoned Li Chengxuan, who had just come out, to move the stone mill to the wheelbarrow together.

Five or six people worked together and moved the stone mill twice before loading it into two cars.

Lin Qianqian said a series of words of thanks to Master Li, and Master Li accepted the order with a faint smile.

Li Chengxuan pulled Lin Mingming and asked, "Why don't you sell konjac tofu at home?" Why haven't I seen you in days? ”

Lin Mingming explained to him with a smile, and after Li Chengxuan listened, he felt inexplicably lost.

After seeing the Lin family go away, the loss in Li Chengxuan's heart kept magnifying and magnifying again.

Master Li had already seen that something was wrong with this kid, and he sighed and asked, "What's wrong?" For the past two days, I have been urging me to get up and work before dawn, and I have hurried to get the job out of the house, you kid is not happy? ”

"Grandpa, I don't, I just envy them." When he saw their energetic appearance, he felt that life was promising, and it was not so bitter.

The Lin family is so united, and the brothers and sisters get along so harmoniously, which is what he envies the most.

Seeing their beaming appearance, he unconsciously followed the joy in his heart.

"Everyone has their own way of living, what is there to envy, go, grandpa will take you to drink today." Master Li said boldly.

"Grandpa, we finally have a little silver, don't waste money, let's buy more food is serious, this drought doesn't know when it will be, our family has not had a business for a long time, and we finally earned this money, but we have to save some flowers." Li Chengxuan persuaded hard.

Master Li suddenly felt a headache, "Okay, okay, you have the final say, then let's go out to eat a bowl of noodles at noon today, it's all done, right?" ”

Li Chengxuan nodded with a smile.

After returning home, the Lin family worked together to lift the stone mill to the large stone that had been prepared long ago.

This is a place that Lin Qian has taken the time to find in the backyard in the past two days, the location is under a crooked neck tree, and he found a relatively flat large stone from the hillside to cushion underneath.

Put the stone mill on the big stone, and the distance between the mouth of the stone mill and the ground is just enough to put down a bucket, so that the slurry from the stone mill can be directly connected to the bucket.

Lin Qianqian asked Father Lin to find two wooden sticks and sharpen them and nail them into two small holes above the stone mill, so that people can grab the wood and turn the stone mill.

After putting the stone mill away, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but want to see the effect of the stone mill grinding out the konjac puree.

She quickly peeled a konjac and cut it into thin strips.

The reason why it is cut into thin strips is because the flaky konjac is easy to adhere to the stone mill and is not easy to grind, and cutting it into strips is more conducive to the konjac entering the middle of the grinding disc, and the grinding efficiency is higher.

She rinsed the stone mill with clean water a little, and then she couldn't wait to put the konjac sticks into the inlet, and then she grabbed the wooden stick on the stone mill and pushed the stone mill to turn hard.

The stone mill rotates slowly, the round stone on the upper layer rotates, and constantly rubs against a round stone below, the two round stones are not tightly fitted, and there are different shades of texture between them, so that in the process of friction between the two round stones, the grain will be crushed and ground into powder or pulp.

In the process of grinding, if water is added to it, the ground grain becomes pulp, and conversely, if no water is added, the grain becomes powder.

As the stone mill "hurled and roared", milky white slurry flowed out of the two circular gaps, slowly flowing down the surrounding stone ditch into the wooden barrel.

Lin Mingming snatched the wooden stick in Lin Qianqian's hand, and "Hulahula" pushed the stone mill to rotate quickly.

Lin Qianqian concentrated on adding konjac sticks, and from time to time he pushed the konjac paste in the surrounding stone ditch that was too viscous to flow on its own into the wooden barrel.

The family was thrilled to watch.

In a short time, a small pot of konjac sticks was ground into a pulp.
