Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 187

It was Mr. Quan who persuaded everyone with kind words, and persuaded everyone to go out of the yard.

Shen Jiayan didn't come out inside, but Mu Tianze came out with Da Zhuang, and reiterated their request to everyone. In order to be more intuitive, he directly found two beetroots in the family's yard, and explained to everyone, which kind of two beetroots Wenqian, which kind is a penny, just compare it yourself.

The people in the village looked at it, and they knew what they were doing. They also heard that they could collect it on the spot and settle it on the spot. They didn't care about asking, and ran home one after another.

Some took it home yesterday, and now they are in a hurry to go home and sell it.

If there are any that have not been confiscated, they will go to the field now, and I can't wait to snatch them all back immediately.

Here, Shen Jiayan borrowed a table from the whole family, and also borrowed the yard of his house to temporarily use it as a place to buy.

First, we weighed the whole family's beetroot. Their family dug out half of it yesterday, and today they are digging up the remaining half.

We sorted and weighed all the beetroots in the yard, recorded the quantity, and waited for the remaining half to be dug up and weighed before we settled together.

The fast-footed family has already carried beetroots in baskets to the door of the whole family.

Shen Jiayan muttered something to Mrs. Quan, and Mr. Quan called his two sons back to help with the weighing.

Mu Tianze kept count, settled the accounts and gave the money.

Da Zhuang looked at the villagers and asked them to pour the weighed beetroots to the designated place, and also watched to keep people away, so he touched them away.

For a while, the villagers kept coming and going, especially later, everyone was smiling when they saw the person who sold the beetroot first, with copper coins for selling beetroot in their arms, and their hearts became more and more heated.

They were busy until noon, and the two sons of the family couldn't bear it anymore, and they changed their group. It was almost time for lunch, but the villagers still lined up and refused to leave.

I was afraid that in the afternoon, if Shen Jiayan said he would not accept it, who would he ask for an argument?
There was no way, the whole family made lunch, so they had to take turns eating and resting.

Shen Jiayan also took a few casual sips and went to replace Mu Tianze. After all, no one else can take over the matter of settling accounts and giving money.

It was not until the sun was about to set that the beetroots in this village were harvested in sevens and eights.

Even if there are a few of them, due to the lack of labor at home and the scattered planting, they have not had time to take it back, and almost all of them have sold their own beetroots.

This beetroot is used as a vegetable. First, they pickled it to eat as a pickle, and second, they dried it and ate it. They seldom eat it raw, because although this beetroot is sweet and crisp, it has an earthy smell when eaten raw.

And this thing is not as good as food to fill the stomach. Everyone is happy to be able to sell money to buy food and go home.

Each family sold a few hundred more, and it was almost a drop of money, and the few were dozens or hundreds of coins. For the farmers, the money was like falling from the sky.

There is a generous family who sells the money and plans to cut a piece of fat and bring it home, so that it can be used for tooth-making sacrifices, and also to make up for the fat lost by the whole family during the autumn harvest.

The air above the whole village was filled with joy, the children cheered happily, and the adults also showed rare smiles on their faces.

Apart from grabbing a few mouthfuls of rice and drinking a little water at noon, Mu Tianze is now free.

After a day of exhaustion, one's complexion is a little ugly, but seeing the scene in front of him, he seems to be infected by the joy, and his eyes reveal thoughtfulness.

Although the beetroot has been purchased, it will not be able to be transported back for a while.

After some discussion, Da Zhuang took the initiative to stay with the whole family and watch the beetroot. Shen Jiayan and Mu Tianze went back first, and hired a bullock cart from the village to tow it early tomorrow morning.

The whole family also said to help hire an ox cart in the village, and they will be dragged to Dongguang Village tomorrow.

The whole family is so enthusiastic. Firstly, I am really grateful to Shen Jiayan. Secondly, Shen Jiayan knows how to behave. He borrowed the whole family’s place and ate the whole family’s meals. want?In the end, regardless of the quality of the beetroot, the family's beetroots were paid two cents per catty, and they even made up the whole amount, giving them an extra [-] cents.

How can the whole family not be dedicated when they get such benefits?
Shen Jiayan left Da Zhuang behind and took Mu Tianze back to Dongguang Village.

The bullock cart here has been agreed long ago. Old Yangtou’s family has a bullock cart, and they are free after the busy farming season. It’s more cost-effective to drag beetroots than to take people to town. In addition, Shen Jiayan also said that hiring him and his family I will go to help pull the stone mill in two days, and I will also pay the wages, so naturally I can't agree.

In the early morning of the second day, Lao Yang drove Mu Tianze to the next village in his car, and with the help of his family, he also found two ox carts, and dragged all the beets back in one go.

The beetroots were all moved into the east wing. This thing can be stored for a longer period of time if it is placed in a cool place. If it is placed in the yard, it is estimated that it will be wilted in the sun for a day.

Shen Jiayan took Mu Yue, Da Zhuang and Mu Tianze to the yard to clean and trim the beets.

The root hairs on the beetroot should be torn off, and the leaves that have not been cleaned should be cut off, and then cleaned.

The stone mill under the thatched shed outside has been installed, and Mu Yue cleaned it twice first, and finally boiled a large pot of boiling water, it couldn't be more clean.

Two cows were required to pull the stone roller separately. In addition to the cows from Lao Yangtou's family, the cows from Zhu's family next door were also hired, put on the poles, and started to try pulling.

All the children and adults in the village came to watch the excitement, but they had never seen how the stone roller that used two cows was used.

Furthermore, the story of Shen Jiayan and the others going to the next village to collect beetroots has long been spread. Everyone is curious about what they are going to use them for. Now that they hear that the stone grinder is going to grind the beetroots, no one should be surprised ?
When Lao Yang was driving the cattle, it was no problem after trying it. Everyone looked forward to it, watching the Mu family come out of the yard.

Carrying baskets of washed red beetroots and a large clean wooden barrel, they almost held their breath.

Watching Shen Jiayan put the beetroot between the two stone rollers, Lao Yang raised his whip, and the two cows slowly pulled the rods, the stone rollers were geared together and rotated, a stream of red juice flowed along the stone roller down, into the groove below.

Below the groove, there is a clean large wooden barrel, and the red beetroot juice can be seen trickling into the large wooden barrel.

When more than half of the juice had flowed into the barrel, he replaced it with another clean wooden barrel, and Da Zhuang carried the beetroot juice into the yard.

Because of the experiment on the first day, Shen Jiayan didn't dare to grind too much beetroot juice, fearing it would be wasted, so she only grinded two buckets before putting it away.

Then the door closed, and no one knew what she was going to do with the beetroot juice.

Abandoning those people in the village, he scratched his head and wondered what the Mu family was doing behind closed doors.

In the yard and in the kitchen, the two cauldrons had been cleaned long ago, without any oil or gas.

The beetroot juice was poured into the big pot, and the firewood underneath was burning. Shen Jiayan was stirring the beetroot juice in the pot from time to time with a spatula.

After the juice started to bubble, there was a faint sweet fragrance in the stove.

Mu Tianze, who had been guarding the stove all the time, heard Shen Jiayan say that he was going to refine sugar, but he was really uncertain. Now that he smelled the faint smell of sugar, he finally let go of his long-cherished heart.
