Nongmen Jiao Nv: Escape from the famine with space

The snow in the village has basically melted away, but the muddy road is still not easy to walk. The villagers came to find Uncle Wang several times to urge them to go to the market, but Uncle Wang refused every time. Said: "This road is slippery and not easy to walk. If you come and go, you will suffer for nothing. You can do it in a few days. Let's go again in a few days."

This has been a few days, and it has been pushed for another three days.

After the Wen family saw that the road seemed to be almost walkable, they warmly said: "Let's try it at home again, see how much we can make in a day, and see what the effect of this glutinous rice cake is overnight."

The most important thing is these two points. Making glutinous rice cakes is a physical effort, and they go to the market to set up early stalls. If the glutinous rice cakes cannot be said overnight, it will not help. After all, it is one thing to disturb others' rest in the morning. Well, it's too early and they can't see clearly, not to mention the time is so tight in the morning, if they leave it all until the morning to work, they don't have to sleep at all.

The point is that if the quantity is small, she feels that there is no need to do it. It costs money to go to a market, and it also costs money to set up a stall. Well go and suffer that.

"Okay, let's try first."

It takes one and a half hours to make glutinous rice cakes in a large stone mortar, which is 3 hours. After 3 hours, people are basically exhausted and paralyzed. Of course, there are also reasons why these two people occupy children. How strong is a multi-year-old child, if it is replaced by an adult, it will definitely be much better. Even if an adult is strong, he can beat Ciba once or twice.

Looking at the brothers who are already making the second round of making glutinous rice cakes, Wen Xin thought for a while and said, "Why don't we ask someone to make glutinous rice cakes?"

"Invite someone?" The three brothers beat their Ciba hands. As rural people, they really don't have the awareness to invite people to do things, but when it comes to inviting people, it seems that it is not impossible. They asked kindly: "Who should I invite?" , how can I give this money?"

Wen Yu thought for a while and said, "This is physical work that can only be done by men. Aren't the eldest brother and the second brother of the Wang family at home? How about the two of them? I heard from Aunt Wang that they work as porters in the market. , the daily salary is 5 Wen, not including food and drink. We can count it as physical labor. In fact, we can also give 5 Wen a day. Food is not included outside. We also have to eat. Why don’t we include breakfast and dinner? How about it."

It's not that Wen Yu wants to be a good person, but let these two people eat the family's food, and he can better order others to do things, not to mention that every family eats that way now, if you don't ask for good food, as long as you can eat enough, you will be satisfied. That's right, the food at his house is definitely better than those outside, and besides, they always want to eat, that is, it's really nothing to add a pair of chopsticks.

As for noon, they definitely don't eat it. Everyone doesn't have the habit of eating lunch, so they naturally won't change just because they invite someone.

The family discussed it very well. It seems that the Wang family will definitely help them, but the imagination is so good that Wen Xin couldn't help but said: "This is just a preliminary idea. What if the two brothers of the Wang family don't do it, tomorrow Let's talk about it.

All the people were hoarse and continued to poke the glutinous rice cakes in the stone mortar vigorously. Finally, after an hour and a half, the glutinous rice cakes in the second stone mortar were finally finished.

The glutinous rice cakes made with two stone mortars were poured into a basin filled with soybeans and powdered sugar, and then the soybeans and powdered sugar were evenly foamed on the glutinous rice cakes. , and finally covered it with a semi-wet cloth and covered the glutinous rice cakes in the cloth to keep it moist. This is equivalent to wrapping a room of plastic wrap.

On the second day, when everyone went to check the glutinous rice cakes, except that the soybean flour in the top room was slightly less, the glutinous rice cakes were still soft and delicious. This proves that the glutinous rice cakes can last overnight in this weather. After that, let’s talk about it when it’s hot, “I’ll sell it like this when it’s cold now, maybe I’ll sell it or not when it’s hot, I’ll make it one day at a time.”

After confirming that the glutinous rice cakes would last overnight, Wen Yu and Wen Hou went to the Wang family.

In fact, the life of people these days is very simple, especially when the rural people are busy farming, they help repair the house or go to the city to carry it when the farm is not busy. If the house is repaired in their own village, the general owner will Two meals are provided, but there is no money, but if it is outside the village, the wages are negotiated in advance, and there are cases where the wages are paid on a daily basis or when the work is completed.

It would be even more troublesome if you were going to the market for transportation. Not only did you have to be early, but you also had to finish work late, but fortunately, this type of work is done daily.

No matter how the job is, everyone can always find a way to add some money to the family anyway. This is basically how the rural people earn their money back.

Right now, winter has just passed, and it’s not time for farming, but it’s also cold, and it’s not time to build a house. When the Wang family brothers were thinking about whether to go to the city to do the transportation, the Wen family asked come over.

Wen Yu talked directly with Aunt Wang. After hearing this, Aunt Wang was not even ready to accept the money, but Wen Yu persuaded: "We are here for business. If you don't accept the money, we are embarrassed to let Zheng come." Brother and Brother Xinglai, please help."

After a long time of persuasion, he said kindly: "We discussed it, and each person is 5 Wen a day. Since it is made at home, breakfast and dinner are included."

Aunt Wang said again at this moment: "What kind of food do you want to eat, just come back to eat, and the distance is not far away, your price is already very high, and it costs 5 yuan to go to the city as a porter for a day, but you can eat and drink. Spending money outside by yourself and paying the fare to go to the city, to be honest, I really can’t make much money. The key is that people are still tired, but how tiring work can you do at home? What a pleasure to eat at your house."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Brother Zhenglai and Brother Xinglai can just eat whatever we want. Breakfast and dinner are meant to be prepared. Don't refuse. That's the deal. Tomorrow It’s about 5 o’clock (7-[-] o’clock)... just watch the smoke coming out of the chimney of our kitchen and then come back.”

In fact, Wen Yu wanted to say Yinshi (3-5 o'clock), but thinking about the start of work on the first day tomorrow, I was afraid that Wang Zhenglai and Wang Xinglai would come very early, so they changed it to Maoshi, but it's about the same, they are usually 4 I get up before dawn around 5:5, and sometimes I’m too lazy to get up at [-] o’clock when I’m slow, and then I’ll have breakfast, and I’ll go out to the market at [-]:[-] in time.

And after breakfast, the stove was already on. During this time, the glutinous rice was steamed. After breakfast, I could start working after a short rest. The time was well arranged.
