Chapter 245 Chapter 240 [-]: Collecting Sweet Potatoes and Opening a Workshop
The Yuan family was the first to deliver the sweet potatoes, along with two families from their village.

Pushing it with a trolley, each still carrying something, they arrived at the inn early in the morning.

Song Qiu reckoned that the sweet potatoes from his uncle's house would be delivered today, and it was no surprise. The workshop over there was packed yesterday, and the big mill in the village and a big mill that she specially bought was delivered to the door. The clothes are all washed and waiting.

After leaving the kitchen to Mrs. Wang, she and Mrs. Yuan went back to the village first.

The sweet potatoes were taken back to the village and sent directly to the Li family’s yard, and they borrowed the village’s name to use them. The sweet potatoes collected by the Yuan’s family totaled 22 shi, and the scattered and broken ones were all kept by his family. Keep it for yourself.

The other two have a family of 43 shi and a family of 25 shi, both of which have been scraped clean of the mud, not dug up, and are almost one by one.

Song Qiu was holding a box in his hand, and a family over there said that she would count the money and pay it out.

Knowing that most people in the village are not used to using silver coins, they all like copper coins, so it is safe and secure.

So I went to the Wantong Bank in the town a long time ago, and returned with a lot of copper coins.

With Du Chuanfu and A Ling following her, this time she was not afraid of being missed by people who would pay too much money for the money. It was a safe journey back to the village with a cloth bag.

"Uncle, your sweet potatoes are 22 shi in total, 110 mana to [-] shi. I should give you a total of [-] copper coins. Here, here are eleven bunches. You count them."

The Yuan family went up first, and Song Qiu counted the copper coins and handed them to Yuan Shuanzi.

Yuan Shuanzi took it without counting, and carefully packed it in a bunch of pieces in a cloth bag.

Yuan Cheng, Yuan Daping and Yuan Erping followed behind, all happy to see so much money.

There were still people in the line behind, and they didn't say much, so a few people stepped aside and went over there to talk to old Yuan.

The family has finished digging the potatoes and harvesting the beans, and there is no work for the time being. Yuan Shuanzi asked the old Yuan if he could help here, so he just said hello.

The workshop hired someone, but it didn't need any help, so the old Yuan took Yuan Shuanzi and whispered about buying the land.

When Yuan Shuanzi heard this, he was very happy for his eldest sister. It is good to have a field, that is the foundation for the peasant family to live and work.

"This field is in short supply. For many years, I haven't heard of anyone losing the field, but don't worry, sister. I have nothing to do when I'm free. I'll take a stroll and take care of it for you."

Over there, Song Qiu gave silver money to the villagers of the two Yanghuai villages successively, two thousand and one hundred and fifty big money for one family, and one thousand and two hundred and fifty big money for one family.

One is 21 and a half strings, and the other is [-] and a half strings.

The string of money was held in his hand, and it was the people from the two families who followed each other who piled up and counted the copper coins.

The series of numbers made the villagers secretly laugh.

The old man counted halfway before he thought of something, raised his head and smiled at Song Qiu, "We don't know how to settle accounts, so it's okay to count, don't be surprised, it's rare to see so many copper coins, counting is happy what."

Naturally, Song Qiu was not surprised, as for the money, it would be better to count them face to face.

It's just that the anxious boy from another family untied all the strings of money at once, piled them up and counted them slowly, and couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth.

"98, 99, one hundred, one hundred..., one hundred... How much will it be after one hundred?" The boy flushed with anxiety.

The two adults in the family, his grandfather and his father, were also scratching their heads and scratching their cheeks to count.

Song Qiu looked at it, thinking that more than 1000 coins were piled together, counting one hundred would be very fast, but the three generations of grandparents obviously didn't think that way, and wanted to count here clearly.

When does this count?
Basically, someone who can count to one hundred is a powerful person, and he wants to count to one thousand in one breath.

Song Qiu was secretly amused, but he didn't mean to laugh at others. There are countless country people who can't account for it.

Seeing that people were worried, it didn’t seem like a thing to waste here all the time, so I went over to teach them, “Master, this is too many to count, let’s take our time, if we can count to a hundred, this one hundred After counting, string them into a string, and count them again at the end, a string of one hundred, isn't ten strings equal to a thousand?"

She didn't say that she stringed them well first, if your grandson insisted on counting them separately.

The old man himself understood, and smiled embarrassingly, and then did as Song Qiu said, take your time and count a hundred.

Soon, the number came back.

The two families have counted, one is not bad, and they go home happily.

Right now, the dozen or so families in Songshan Village who planted sweet potatoes dug them out yesterday, weighed them one by one, and lined up to settle the money.

Liu Laomeng's family had the most, one picked from the east and the other carried on the west. After weighing, there were still more than 21 stones in total.

More than ten or twenty catties, it's not easy to calculate, Song Qiu asked them to take it back and eat it by themselves, she only charged round numbers, one stone for one stone, easy to calculate.

Liu Laomeng was happy that the sweet potatoes that had been piled up in the past and made the whole family look miserable this year were sold for a tael of silver, and he didn't care about the ten or twenty catties, so he gave it to Song Qiu directly, not counting money.

As for other families, there are a few stones, and there are also one stone and two stones.

The extra few catties and tens of catties were the same as Liu Laomeng. They kept it and didn't take it home.

They are all from the same village. The people in Songshan Village are already united, so they don't care about sweet potatoes.

Taking it back means eating two or three meals. It's rare, but Aqiu girl is still of great use here.

But what this sweet potato can do, everyone is still curious.

After harvesting the sweet potatoes in his own village, no one from other villages brought them up. Song Qiu looked at a specially vacated room full of sweet potatoes piled up half a room. Work is arranged.

"Grandma Zhang, Grandma Cauliflower, Grandma Laomeng, Grandma Cao, the four of you are in charge of cleaning and peeling sweet potatoes."

"Sister-in-law Huaihua, sister-in-law Chunxiang, sister-in-law Huixiang, sister-in-law Lianhua, sister-in-law Hongxia, and sister-in-law Baicao, the six of you are in charge of cutting the peeled sweet potatoes into small pieces."

"Uncle Hugua, Uncle Dali, Uncle Daquan, Uncle Anzi, Uncle Tuwa, Uncle Shunzi, you six people are in charge of grinding the mill."

"Auntie Meifu, Auntie Manju, Auntie Guixiang, Auntie Chrysanthemum, Auntie Chenghua, Auntie Meilan, the six of you are in charge of filtering out the ground sweet potato pulp."

As soon as Song Qiu made a call, those who were called together consciously stood in a pile, and it made sense for one generation to do the same together.

Song Qiu asked Zhang Hugua to help press the water up first, filled several large wooden basins with water, then packed the sweet potatoes in the house with a pinch of dustpan, and moved them to the pressurized well.

Then tell Mrs. Zhang a few things about washing sweet potatoes. The mud should be cleaned and the skin should be peeled.

This job is simple, a farmer's wife can understand it as soon as she hears it, and soon Mrs. Zhang and the others spontaneously divided the work, two of them washed the sweet potatoes, and two of them peeled them.

Washing here, the second assembly line came a little bit by the pressurized well, on a wooden chopping board, Song Qiu showed a few sister-in-laws how to chop sweet potatoes, cut them into thumb-sized pieces, not too big, grind them Take it easy.

The wooden chopping board is big enough for six people to stand up.

The third assembly line is two big mills, six people, a group of three, two people push the mill, one person waits for a change of force, and helps put sweet potato chips on the mill and catch the pulp.

And the fourth assembly line is also the most important one, so Song Qiu arranged for a few aunts of Manju who are stronger and more sloppy.
