Su Qingluan didn't know when it would be completed today.

Although these people were eager to try it one by one as soon as they heard "double wages", Su Qingluan looked at this tired face, and then thought that many people here were "middle-aged and elderly", and they could call themselves "old husbands" and "old women", so he decided that he resolutely could not bear too much load.

So Su Qingluan said: "Considering that some people stay and work overtime today, they will gather at my door at noon tomorrow - of course, the salary will not be reduced." Okay, those who don't work overtime should go home quickly, and the rest of them will be on standby. ”

After waiting for the overtime to work overtime, those people were almost gone, Su Qingluan handed the key to the shop in the town to Liu Yunniang: "Now that you take these people to the town, you should be able to catch up with the city gate." ”

Although Lefeng Town is only a small town, it also needs to close the city gate at night and impose a curfew. However, there is still more than an hour before the gates are closed, and it is completely possible to arrive in time.

"Brother Zhao, you go back to my house with me once, I'm going to go to those things." Su Qingluan had already considered the possibility of working overtime, so he had already prepared on the second floor of the shop in advance.

However, Aunt Zou has already gone back first, and there is one less person in the "logistics group", but she still has to prepare everyone's supper, so naturally some kitchenware and seasonings that Su Qingluan is used to are indispensable, and Su Qingluan wants to take them all at once.

By the way, he told his family that he would spend the night in the town last night, and Su Qingluan hurried to the town with his younger brother.

Brother Zhao's physique is slender, even if Su Qingluan has been giving her an egg a day since yesterday to replenish her strength, but the change of physique is not something that can be completed in a day or two.

So Su Qingluan had to accommodate her somewhat slow steps - although Su Qingluan also understood that Zhao Di had tried her best, she had already begun to trot and run out of breath.

Later, Su Qingluan was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to catch up with the closure of the city gate, so he simply pulled his brother Zhao and trotted all the way, and finally caught up with the curfew.

But even so, the two of them were still reminded by the official who guarded the door: "It's about to fall at night, the county town is no better than the countryside without night patrols, if you are caught wandering around the city after nightfall, you will go to jail!" ”

Brother Zhao's pale little face was even more blue, but Su Qingluan smiled calmly: "Thank you for mentioning this official, we have relatives in the town, and we won't wander around the city and cause trouble to the official." ”

Everyone is willing to listen to what is good, not to mention Su Qingluan, a fair-looking and beautiful little girl. The officers and soldiers guarding the city scratched their heads: "Hey, I'm some kind of 'official', but it's just a mouthful of food, but you, if you really encounter patrols, as long as you have a better attitude, tell them to go home immediately, and look like this to you, you are a simple people, and everyone will not be embarrassed." ”

Hearing this, Su Qingluan hurriedly nodded and thanked him, and went into the town with his younger brother.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and Su Qingluan and Zhao Di did meet two groups of patrolling people before and after on the way to their destination, as the officers and soldiers guarding the city said. But maybe it's because the city gate hasn't been completely closed, or because they see that Su Qingluan and Brother Zhao are thin and small, and they really don't look like gangsters, so they let them pass.

Su Qingluan said in her heart, sure enough, everywhere you go, you are reaching out and not hitting smiling people.

By the time the two of them arrived at Su's shop, it was already brightly lit and lively.

Liu Yunniang led those people to this place, and only carried out some preliminary preparations such as simple cleaning and placing all the stoves.

Since the difference between Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang's group of people in front of him was only half an hour, when Su Qingluan arrived, everyone had just raised the stove.

Su Qingluan clapped his hands and began to arrange the task: "Later, the five groups will act separately, the first group and the second group will rinse all the fruits and pick out the fruits that have been squeezed and damaged; Three or four groups spread the washed fruits scattered in the yard and placed them on a few dustpans on the shelves - be careful not to stack all the fruits between them, and the fifth group listened to me and Yun Niang's random actions. ”

Everyone began to light the oil lamps and candles, and then the stars and lights went about their work.

And in the stove room, Su Qingluan and Liu Yunniang were also very busy.

Although one or two people in each group did not choose to work overtime, the rest of the people were close to twenty.

To make a large pot of rice, the seasoning is almost fine, but stir-frying a large number of ingredients is a physical task.

So Su Qingluan took Brother Zhao and Liu Yunniang to be responsible for selecting vegetables, cutting vegetables and preparing food, and the remaining three people in the fifth group were all men, and because two of the three were croppers and the other was a hunter, they were all relatively strong. So in terms of physical strength, it is absolutely no problem to fry a big pot dish.

So, the three of them took turns to go to the stove to fry the big pot of vegetables, and the remaining two were the heads of the coarse grain nest.

Su Qingluan had to sigh again, there are not so many hellish "gentlemen who cook far away" in small farmers, everyone works whenever they are free, everyone is an endless job every day, naturally there is no "division of labor", so men generally cook and survive.

Everyone was busy in an orderly manner, and soon the first and second groups of people washed the fruit, and Su Qingluan asked these people to go to the second floor to clean up two pieces on the ground.

And after the three or four groups dried all the fruits in the yard, Su Qingluan asked them to assemble the two grinding discs in the yard and grind the spices.

In order to prevent the proportion of this spice from leaking, Su Qingluan had asked the merchant selling the spices to cut it into smaller pieces in advance and weigh it in advance and mix it evenly in proportion.

But this "chopped" spice is only to the extent of a Chinese herbal decoction piece, and if it is mixed directly into the jam, it will inevitably affect the texture and taste - after all, a large piece of spice can be quite pungent.

Grinding Chinese medicine decoction pieces, ah no, it is a spice, which requires patience, especially Su Qingluan said that the powder can be sifted through the sieve of white flour three times.

So when the first or second groups finished making the beds, they also joined the ranks of grinding spices.

And Su Qingluan's side was also very busy, obviously it was already an autumn night, but because of the blazing stove, several people in the stove room were sweating.

By the time it was almost midday, it was completely dark. At this time, the big pot of rice is finally ready, and everyone is already hungry - after all, not to mention dinner at this time of day, some people have even basically washed up and slept.

Su Qingluan saw that there were a few people who still couldn't let go of the work in their hands, and clapped their hands: "There is still a lot of work, and I can't finish it in a while!" Let's eat first to replenish our strength! Otherwise, when you are tired, the gains outweigh the losses! ”
