Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 305

Zhou Li has some connections on the road. In fact, people who travel all year round in business have to deal with people in the rivers and lakes.As time goes by, he will naturally find some corners and corners, not to mention that Zhou Li is not an ordinary merchant.

Society is sometimes very complicated, and sometimes extremely simple.In many cases, a lot of money is used to clear the way, and sooner or later it will be clear what can be opened and what cannot be opened.
-
As for Jin Zhaodong, the left and right Hongwentang only has this little manpower in Lushan County. Feng Siniang and her subordinates are still locked up by her at the moment. If you can fill in, there is not much difference between 50 more and 50 less.

In the evening, Liu Jiang came back with a stone millstone.

The grinding disc is not small, so it cannot be put in the back kitchen, and the other spare rooms are not suitable for use until it is cleaned up.

On the other hand, the open space on one side of the backyard is spacious, so Gu Qi simply asked someone to build a simple shed in the open space on the other side. It happened that Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Wei had also finished their work, and together they helped to clean the shed inside and out. Cleaned up again.

To make tofu, it is not enough to have a stone mill. In addition, a large tank or wooden barrel for storing freshly ground soybean milk and a square wooden mold wrapped in cloth are required.

There were several large and small wooden barrels in the backyard, which can be used after cleaning. As for the wooden molds, when Liu Jiang went to the tofu maker to collect old stone millstones, he also collected a few.

It's just that these wooden molds have not been used for a long time, and they are somewhat dilapidated and old.After simple reinforcement, it can barely be used, but it is estimated that it will not take long. If you have time, you still have to find a carpenter to re-customize a few.

Generally, tofu workshops like to use homemade cloth woven by farmers to make tofu into filter bags after stitching. The characteristics of this kind of homemade cloth are that the weaving is tight, and the cloth surface is rough, durable and has enough load-bearing capacity. The most important thing is Most of this kind of homespun cloth is self-woven at home, and the cost is also cheap.

Of course, because of the simple craftsmanship and low cost of this kind of earthen cloth, many farmers will make it themselves.

This also makes the general cloth shops that have formed a large scale no longer deliberately produce this kind of cloth, and at the same time, the cloth shops that are sold will not be purchased, and they are not circulated in the market.

For example, Zhou Li led the team to send a lot of cloth this time. Considering the current situation in Lushan County, Zhou Li didn't ask people to prepare high-grade cloth, not even medium-grade cloth, and only brought some of different designs and colors. coarse cloth, some undyed fine linen, and two or three bolts of damask.Naturally, there is no homespun.

Gu Qi asked Mrs. Wei, and knew that there was no spare earthen cloth at home, so he simply took Mrs. Wei to find the strongest piece of coarse cloth for a try first, and then cut a few pieces of soft white fine cloth to save. Use later.

A few people worked till night, before they arranged the open space in the backyard into a decent tofu shop.The only thing missing now is a donkey that can pull the mill.

In this situation, it is as difficult to find a live donkey in Lushan County as it is to conjure a Lamborghini out of thin air.

Not to mention Lushan County, even the entire Yuzhou Prefecture may not find a few live donkeys.

Although there were no donkeys, Gu Qi did not lack horses. Shunzi had specially cleaned up an old house in the city with a large enough yard to raise horses. In addition, there was a special area in Luoshan Village for the maintenance of horses.

It is worth mentioning that due to the successive torrential rains before, the wells in several houses that Gu Qi bought began to flow water one after another, although most of them were thin, and the water quality was very poor and the mud was not too much There are many differences, but in any case, this is a happy and hopeful thing.

Especially in the farm in Luoshan Village, five wells, large and small, deep and shallow, were originally built, and now four of them have seen traces of water.

In addition, the river bed not far from the farm has also started to store water, which saved a lot of trouble for Jiang Ping and others who lived and worked in the farm.

If this is not the case, let alone people, even those horses will not last long.
-
Donkeys can pull mills, and horses with similar attributes can naturally pull mills, and horses are stronger than donkeys.It's just that the horse's patience is limited, and it can't be covered with a black cloth like a donkey and can work hard all day long around the millstone.

Not the next day, Gu Qi asked Shunzi to pick out a strong adult horse from the stable to help pull the mill, but it only took a quarter of an hour, and the horse was not happy.

At first, he was lazy, and then he simply got down on the spot. At first, the lessons were useful, but later he lost his temper.

Once turned over, it is basically a waste of time, it is better to go directly to the manpower faster.

If you want to say that the difficulty factor of finding a live animal in the current Lushan County is definitely a devil level, then if you want to find a few strong and cheap coolies, the difficulty factor is simply zero.

It is typical to yell twice, and grab a handful at random.

But Gu Qi has no intention of recruiting any more people now.

One is that this kind of temporary workers who are pure coolies and do not have much technical skills are cheap and cheap, and the safety factor is not high.

The second is because it only needs strength to work, Gu Qi really has no shortage of manpower.The brothers of Bailaihao are worried that they have nothing to do now. Two people come here every day, and one person comes for half a day. It's all for extra fitness exercises.

To say that so many people want to arrange all the rounds again, at least two months without repeats.

Of course that's for later.

Let's just say that on the second day, Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Lu started to make old tofu and dried white beans after finishing their work in the deli area in front of them.

Perhaps it was a relationship that hadn't been done for a long time, and the horses just brought in were not cooperative. At first, the two bumped into each other and fumbled for a lot of time. They just finished the last process of the day, and then they waited for the excess water to drain , into the mold, forming.

Mrs. Wei learned the craft of making tofu at her natal family before she got married. At that time, Mrs. Wei was still young. At that time, Mother Wei and her elder sister were mainly responsible for making tofu in the family.

Mrs. Wei mostly did some light work as a handyman. Later, Mrs. Wei got married, and because her husband's family was not in the tofu business, this skill was never used.

In fact, making tofu is not difficult in itself, but the process is really cumbersome, and it is difficult for one person to get started.And the amount to be done each time is also huge. If it is not specially used for business, but only for private households to satisfy gluttony, it is completely tiring, annoying and expensive, and the gain outweighs the gain.
-
Here Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Lu were busy with the tofu business, and the business in the market was so busy that it exceeded Shunzi's original expectations, so that they had to ask the brothers to enter the market to maintain order.

Firstly, after the news of grain purchase restrictions was released yesterday, before dawn, the entrance of the Four Seas Market was already full of people waiting to open the door to buy rice.
