Chapter 581

However, the paddy field of Chen's family is in Xianggui Town. Gu Dagui went to the paddy field of Xianggui Town two days earlier and built a shed to live in. Get some farmers and ask them to harvest rice.

Mrs. Chen was very distressed because of this: "If the paddy field is close to home, our family can harvest it by ourselves. There is no need to hire someone. Now it costs a lot of money just to hire someone to harvest. It is really a loss."

The third grandma looked at her digging, and said: "Your family's [-] acres of paddy fields, if you don't ask someone to cut it, can your family of four harvest it all? You can't finish it even if you are exhausted."

Mrs. Chen was unhappy for a while when she was scolded, but she became happy again after thinking of something, and said proudly with her chest up: "What Auntie San said is that we are not farmers anymore, we are landlords. How can there be landlords who collect grain? No one is invited?"

Are those who don’t hire people to work still called landlords?

"No, Dagui is too honest, he doesn't have to be bullied by the workers. I have to go and see tomorrow and watch those workers work, lest they bully Dagui and ruin my family's food."

The third grandma was convinced: "Are you worried that Dagui will be bullied by others, or do you want to show off the landlord's wife's score? You can calm down, if you run like this, Dagui will have to quarrel with you again."

Mrs. Chen is not afraid at all: "If you quarrel, just quarrel. Which family's man doesn't quarrel with his wife? The more quarreling we have, the better our lives will be."

Dagui is very rare about her, it is impossible not to let her go, if she makes a fuss, Dagui can still remember her as a daughter-in-law in his heart.

The third grandma didn't bother to say to her: "Go away when the knife is sharpened, the old woman has no time to listen to your nagging."

The Hedao is a sickle, specially used for harvesting rice and wheat crops.

Mrs. Chen also said that enough was enough, and went to the house with the two sharpened knives, looking at the two knives while walking, and said: "It is quite cost-effective to hire someone, and it saves money on buying knives."

The farmers who come to harvest will bring their own knives instead of the farm tools of the host.

Xuanhufang knew that Gu Jinli and the others were busy harvesting rice, and after learning that the pharmaceutical workshop had produced [-] bottles of tooth powder, they sent people to inspect the goods in advance.

A new group of people came to Xuanhufang. Although they are not as capable as Mu Tong and the others, they are also people who know how to do things. They worked from morning to night for a whole day, and finally finished all the tooth powders and gave the remaining one thousand 700 taels of payment.

After Gu Jinli got the bank note, he happily put it away.

The old doctor Wu also said: "The shopkeeper Zhang wrote to the shopkeeper Cheng saying that the tooth powder is very good. Every household in the rich family buys it. Every master has a bottle. The amount of your bottle is not much, only one or two. If you use it quickly, you have to make it quickly. Otherwise, the [-] bottles will be sold out in a short time."

Earlier, old doctor Wu had muttered, saying that since this girl doesn't like troublesome temper, how could a bottle only contain one or two tooth powders, increasing the time for inspection?Now I understand it, this is the idea of ​​wearing less, consuming faster, and selling more, it is really a trick, and he is convinced.

He added: "In a few days, I will send you another batch of bottles, so I won't let you run out of bottles for tooth powder."

Gu Jinli smiled: "Thank you, Grandpa Wu."

What in the world can make money in the long run?That is consumables, especially consumables that are liked by rich people.

Rich people are not short of money. Once they get used to one thing, they will buy it habitually. Tooth powder and mosquito coils are common and fast-consuming things. It is right to make them and sell them.

After delivering the tooth powder, Gu Jinli and his family began to work hard to harvest rice.

Gu Jinli's family bought [-] mu of paddy fields from Mr. Lu's family, plus [-] mu of Songzizhuang's paddy fields, a total of [-] mu of paddy fields, but the yield of Dachu's paddy fields is not high, with an average of only [-] catties of rice per mu. .Even so, her family harvested nearly [-] catties of rice, which directly made the third grandfather and third grandmother cry.

"I never dreamed that I could harvest so much grain. It's ten thousand catties. It's still rice. After husking, it's precious rice. It won't be enough for ten years." The third grandmother wiped her tears and said excitedly.

The rest of the families also harvested a lot of rice, and each family harvested several thousand catties, but the big guy was very excited.

The old Yan family had been poor all his life, and when he learned that his family had harvested so much food, he couldn't resist and fainted from excitement.

Gu Qingxi and Gui Niu, who were younger in the old Yan family, cried in fright, and Jin Niu cried and ran to Gu Jinli's house to find someone. The third grandma was anxious to hear that, and hurried to the pharmaceutical workshop to invite Uncle Dai to see it.

Uncle Dai quickly rushed to Lao Yan's house and woke up Lao Yan.

Brother Gu Damu heard that his mother had fainted, so he hurried back and asked Uncle Dai: "Doctor Dai, is my mother okay?"

Uncle Dai said: "It's nothing serious, just pay attention to it in the future, but the old lady's body is very weak, it's best to take this opportunity to take a year and a half of soup to recuperate."

Gu Damu is a filial son, and the family is not short of money. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Doctor Dai, just prescribe the medicine, our family will definitely buy it for my mother."

After hearing this, Dr. Dai prescribed the medicine for Old Yan: "Three times a day for the first month, and once a day after one month."

Dr. Dai was a servant of Gu Jinli's family, and he didn't receive any consultation fees, so he only asked Gu Damu to go to Xuanhufang in the town to get the medicine with the prescription.

Old Yan fainted for a while and sighed: "I used to be sick after taking an antibiotic, how can I see a doctor and drink medicine at the same time, it is really precious."

The third grandmother said with a smile: "Just say a few words, and enjoy yourself."

After the old Yan family settled down, the family was busy taking the grain to the workshop house for storage.

Because of the construction of the shop, the houses of several families are still old mud houses, and there is no extra space to store grain. After discussing with Gu Dashan's family, they took the grain to the workshop house.It is very easy to open up a few rooms to store food after entering the mansion.

Half of Gu Jinli's food is stored in Songzizhuang, and the other half is stored in the workshop house. There are granaries in both places, which can hold a lot of food.

After harvesting the rice, several families started busy harvesting the grain in the dry land again.

These dry lands were also purchased from Mr. Lu's family and Zou's family. When they were bought, they were all planted with grain, such as soybeans, sweet potatoes, and vegetables stored in winter.

The Jianghuai and Jiangnan regions grow winter wheat. After the wheat is harvested, soybeans and sweet potatoes will be planted in advance, and they will be harvested in late autumn before winter.

After the harvest, they were busy planting winter wheat on the dry land.

Because the winter in Jianghuai and Jiangnan is not as cold as in the north, winter wheat can be planted on dry land. Sowing begins in mid-to-late October, and it will be ripe for harvest in the coming summer.

Several families were busy from the first ten days of October to nearly November, and only then did they finish their farm work.

"I still hired someone. If I didn't invite someone, I would really be exhausted." Chen said with her waist broken: "It's not easy to be a landlady, too much land can exhaust people to death."

But thinking of the food in the warehouse, Mrs. Chen was overjoyed, and felt that no matter how tired she was, it was worth it.

But before she was happy for two days, the official document from the county government to increase the grain tax came down.

All food taxes will be increased by [-]%, from [-] out of [-] to [-] out of [-].

When Mrs. Chen heard the news, she scolded her on the spot: "Add [-]% of the food tax, how much is this? Our family is still drinking porridge, and just wanted to have a dry meal, so you increase the food tax, what do you want? Such a bully Man, my old lady is dead!"
