Chapter 15 The First Bus Line in Songjiang County
There are a lot of things to do today, Li Mo got up early, but the villagers were earlier, there are already a sea of ​​people outside the yamen, everyone is either carrying or carrying, there are more or less sweet potatoes.

Fortunately, the master has already exchanged the copper coins, so there is no rush at this moment.

There was no idler in the yamen, Li Mo rubbed his chin, should the yamen recruit people?There are just a dozen people, and they are simply too busy.

Li Mo's important task today is to teach everyone how to make sweet potato flour. People elected by the village chiefs have already gathered in the workshops.

The workshop had a wall cut through yesterday, and it was separated from the yamen’s office. As for other kitchen utensils, you can buy ready-made ones. The stove was left before. Maybe Songjiang County had a glorious time many years ago, otherwise the kitchen It won't be that big either.

The villagers were very uncomfortable. It was the first time that they had such close contact with the county magistrate. They were nervous and uneasy in their excitement. They were afraid that if they accidentally offended him and lost such a good job opportunity, it would cost one tael of silver a month.

Seeing Li Mo approaching, they all knelt on the ground.

This is the evil old society, don't tell them that everyone is equal, they will be scared as if they saw a ghost.

Li Mo looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone don't need to be nervous, just relax, I don't know how to eat people, besides, human flesh doesn't taste good."

In a word, everyone's tense atmosphere was blown away.

Li Mo's assistant today is Li'er, and the others in the yamen don't understand the operation process. The first batch of sweet potato flour that was made in the small kitchen was made with Li'er's help.

Not to mention that Li'er is an expert in the kitchen, she's already good at it after only one lesson.

Li Mo: "Everyone come here."

Thirty men surrounded Li Mo like this, startled Li'er, and leaned desperately to Li Mo's side.

Seeing Li'er, a delicate little girl, was taken aback by their rough bastards, everyone scratched their heads in embarrassment, and took two steps back consciously.

Li Mo: "Li'er, are you ready?"

Lier nodded: "Ready, my lord."

Li Mo: "Now let me tell you to demonstrate."

First, peel and wash the sweet potatoes, cut the sweet potatoes into cubes with a knife, and then grind the sweet potatoes with a millstone.

Afterwards, grind it into a thin soup. Two people are enough for one millstone, one pushes the mill, and one person puts the sweet potato in it, and grinds the sweet potato into a thin soup and flows it into the bucket.

Pour the sweet potato powder on a white cloth, dilute it with water, filter the starch, and then dry it in the sun.

The process is not difficult, but it is all labor. Whether it is grinding or drying, it requires strength.

Everyone is a farmer and usually does a lot of work, so after seeing Li Mo operating like this, he quickly got started.

After drying and making vermicelli, we will not be able to teach you until two days later.

Everyone is still busy, and those who deliver wooden barrels and other tools are also coming to the door one after another. These were ordered yesterday, so there is no need to wait for them to be in stock.

The lunch was made by an old lady nearby. The villagers came out to work early in the morning. It was impossible to let them go home to eat by themselves. It was too far away. Let's pack a work meal, although it is also a simple meal, but at least there is meat, but the amount is not much.

Before Zhang Zhongping entered the door, he began to shout: "My lord, my lord."

"Here, is it called soul?" Li Mo couldn't complain anymore, this Zongping Zhang had a loud voice.

Zhang Zhongping ran in excitedly: "My lord, the carriage is ready."

Because Zhang Zhongping was the captain of the bus line this time, he was more motivated than anyone else.

Li Mo: "How many cars and horses did you buy?"

Zhang Zhongping: "Two carriages, four horses, two ox carts, and two oxen."

Li Mo looked at him with a half-smile: "Hmph, this is overspending."

Zhang Zhongping said mysteriously: "My lord, you don't know something. As for the carriage, you can use it when you are strolling. In case there are too many things and the carriage cannot be moved, we can use the ox cart. The ox cart can help everyone I'm pulling goods."

Li Mo: "Unexpectedly, you are quite capable, this makes you think that the logistics company will be under your control in the future."

Zhang Zhongping doesn't understand what a logistics company is, but he understands the saying that it is under his control.

"Tell me, how much money did you spend in total? If there is no profit for a few months, then all your wages will be deducted."

Zhang Zhongping immediately put on a mournful face: "My lord, don't, this is the money for my wife!"

Li Mo rolled his eyes and talked about marrying a daughter-in-law all day long. How much does he miss women?

When the two arrived at the gate of the yamen, there were already many people around, all of whom were familiar neighbors.

Several yamen servants are explaining the purpose of horse carts and ox carts to everyone.

Seeing Li Mo approaching, an old lady asked, "My lord, is this carriage really going to the provincial capital?"

Li Mo just took advantage of this opportunity to advertise and attract customers: "Yes, ma'am, do you want to go to the provincial capital tomorrow? We will be the first day of trial operation tomorrow, and it's very cheap, only thirty cents for the round trip."

In fact, this bus route does not make money at all, except for the cost of buying carriages and horses, as well as the wages paid to the staff, the fodder for feeding the horses, and the subsequent maintenance of the carriages, it does not make any money at all. Li Mo’s reason is Future plans.

Aunt: "Old lady, I have lived in Songjiang County for more than 50 years, and I have never been out of the county seat. I must go to the provincial capital tomorrow."

Another aunt: "Sister Zhang, I haven't been out of the county, we have a companion tomorrow, and I will go with you."

Auntie: "Okay, then it's a deal, we sisters will set off together tomorrow."

The first departure time is at [-] o'clock in the morning, and the last return trip is at [-] o'clock in the afternoon.Depart on the hour and return on time, regardless of whether there are guests or not, even if the car goes out empty, you can still get one or two guests on the way.

It usually takes half a day to walk, and it takes an hour to arrive by horse-drawn cart, and it takes more than two hours to arrive by ox cart a little longer.

Before half an hour, the two carriages for tomorrow have already been booked, but the two ox carts have not been booked yet, which seems a bit embarrassing.

Zhang Zhongping said proudly: "My lord, you see that the two carriages have already been booked."

Li Mo: "Then what about the two bullock carts?"

Zhang Zhongping:. . . .

In fact, it is not a waste to buy these two ox carts. In the future, when the sweet potato vermicelli is going to be delivered, they will have to rely on these two ox carts.

Before dawn the next day, people who were going to the provincial capital had already gathered at the gate of the county government office, and those who didn't go crowded over early to watch the excitement.

On the first day of work, Li Mo had to come out to see him off.

A simple commencement ceremony was held, so no one should say a few words.

Li Mo: "Dear neighbors, thank you for your support for the first bus line in Songjiang County."

"It will be much more convenient for everyone to go to the provincial capital from today. I wish you a pleasant journey. The economy of Songjiang County will be driven by you in the future. Don't forget us when you make money in the future."

Everyone laughed loudly: "My lord, you really know how to joke."

Following Zhang Zhongping's words: "Let's go."

The two carriages set off in a mighty way, and became a beautiful scenery in Songjiang County in the early morning.
