Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 210 The Life of a Bodyguard
Luan Jianming looked at the sweet potato in his hand, and said to Gu Siwei.

"Siwei, can our family's work be worth the sweet potato?"

"That's impossible. If you want sweet potatoes, I'll just give you sweet potatoes." Gu Siwei said generously.

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while: "Then you will lose out on sweet potatoes. Let me give you more. It's [-]% more than rice. What do you think?"

Rice and sweet potatoes are definitely not the same price. Whether you eat them on the market or at home, the two things are definitely not the same. Although they are both grains, grains are also expensive.

The rice is definitely expensive, and the sweet potato splash, it goes without saying.

Luan Jianming proposed to exchange sweet potatoes for rice, and Gu Siwei added some more for him.

Who knew that Gu Siwei's words hadn't fully landed, and the people next to him also said: We also want sweet potatoes.

Gu Siwei looked at them and asked, "The rice is delicious!"

Everyone said one after another: "Sweet potatoes can feed the whole family, and rice can also be eaten by the whole family. That's not a good idea."

Gu Siwei thought about it for a while and thought it was right. Sweet potatoes are eaten well, and the folks eat them in porridge, which is even more delicious. Sweet potatoes can be eaten for two meals, and rice of the same weight is afraid of three meals. are dangerous

"That's fine, I'll replace you with sweet potatoes," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

"I won't change it yet!"

At this time, someone suddenly stretched out his hand.

Gu Siwei took a look and found that it was Sun Laiya.

Everyone looked at Sun Laiya with a look of incomprehension.

"Laiya, your kid's family has grown up, and they are all eating rice."

Someone started making fun of Sun Laiya.

Sun Laiya said: "I've been tired of sweet potatoes for a long time, but now I don't eat some, and I still eat other birds!"

Gu Siwei had fun with everyone.

"Okay, then you have rice!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Laiya quickly said: "Stop, stop, who said I want rice?"

"What do you want if you don't want rice?" Gu Siwei was a little confused: "I only have rice and sweet potatoes here. You don't want rice or sweet potatoes. Are you trying to tease me?"

It's a pity that Sun Laiya still can't understand Gu Siwei's joke. This joke will not be known until 20 years later, when Mr. Ma Sanli became popular all over the country.

Sun Laiya smiled and said: "I don't have the intention to tease you. I just think that the sweet potatoes grow well on your side, and the rice grows well. There is no reason that the potatoes are not good, so I choose potatoes. I just see the sweet potatoes. Feel like throwing up, Potatoes are fine!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized that several of them wanted to replace it with potatoes.

For Gu Siwei, why not give, so he agreed one by one, and asked Si Cui to take a pen and paper, and write down what everyone wanted.

After remembering, everyone continues to work.

Waiting for the sweet potatoes to be harvested, it was obviously another bumper harvest, and the output was astonishing. Everyone was shocked by the sweet potatoes planted by Gu Siwei.

No one knew that Gu Siwei secretly hid more than 2000 catties, otherwise, he would have knocked these people to the ground.

In the future, sweet potatoes weighing several thousand kilograms per mu will be so normal that they can no longer be normal, but everyone must understand that more than 2000 kilograms per mu will be produced after decades, with the blessing of various fertilizers and technologies. At this time, the yield per mu was so high, and many yields per mu were less than half.

Gu Siwei’s yield per mu is scary, which made Lao Gu a little worried, but the folks didn’t think too much about it. They only knew that the sweet potatoes grown by Gu Siwei’s family were big and there were many small potatoes, so they went to Gu Siwei’s house one after another to exchange them. Seed potatoes, I plan to plant this kind of sweet potatoes in my own home next time.

The sweet potatoes can't be stored directly after harvesting, they can be stored, but Gu Siwei has already made a decision to make vermicelli where he can eat sweet potatoes.

But the problem now is that so many vermicelli are quite scary. Seven to eight thousand catties of sweet potatoes are used to make vermicelli. Not to mention anything else, there are a lot of people who just help.

Although everyone has no jobs, they have to take care of their own land. It is impossible to help Gu Siwei's family make vermicelli all the time, isn't it?
So the big guy gave a suggestion, that is, make one-third of the vermicelli noodles, and the remaining two-thirds are directly made into dry noodles.

It's a good idea, but Gu Siwei slightly miscalculated the workload.

First, make flour noodles, that is, sweet potato dry powder. You have to cut sweet potatoes into small pieces, preferably twisted into a paste, and filter them with gauze. The starch that has been filtered several times will settle in the water, and when it dries, it will be flour noodles. .

As for the remaining slag, it can be used to feed pigs, and there is no waste at all.

In short, everything was well arranged, but when it was officially started, it was discovered that except for Sun Qiumei and her husband who had been helping all the time, everyone else came here when they had time, and they also had work in the fields to do.

What's more, the sweet potato flour has not been made yet, and even two parts have not been made, and the potatoes have to be dug again.

Waiting for the potatoes to be dug out, there is still a lot of work, or the same reason, you can’t eat potatoes all the time, it is also a troublesome thing to store potatoes, so potatoes have to be made into potato flour.

That's it, Gu Siwei didn't do anything all day, and Sicui, Sun Qiumei, Zhao Fangming, Tao Yisheng, Hu Yanqiu, and Qiao Yitong would come to help from time to time, but they were all temporary.

Gu Siwei felt that all day long, except for shredding potatoes or sweet potatoes, he felt that everything he saw with his eyes looked like sweet potatoes and potatoes.

"Four-dimensional!"

Today Gu Siwei is still sitting under the camphor tree grinding potatoes, the small stone mill in his hand is a little weak by Gu Siwei, there is no way, it has been grinding for almost four hours since the morning, although it is not a constant effort Grinding, but this kind of boring work is the most energy-consuming.

"Siwei! I'm talking to you."

Gu Siwei raised his head and saw Liu Fulin coming, so he said, "So it's the old man, sit down!"

Liu Fulin looked at Gu Siwei, then took a bench and sat in front of Gu Siwei, put his hand on the handle of the small stone mill, and patted Gu Siwei's hand away.

"How can you do such a grinding method?"

"Uncle, I've been grinding for almost fourteen days! Fourteen days and two weeks!"

Gu Siwei overlapped his two fingers, signaling that he was about to explode.

"No, I have to go to town and use a machine!" Gu Siwei said.

Liu Fulin listened, and took a look at Gu Siwei: "Don't think about it now, don't say that you have so much food that was not conspicuous in the past, even if it is not conspicuous, you won't be given a chance. This time is to protect the summer grain. At that time, the mills in the town were working 24 hours a day, how could I have time to work for private individuals... ".

At this time, the food outside has been collected, and the public food will naturally be collected. At this time, all the institutional personnel in the town have only one thing to do, which is to protect the summer grain. machine operator.

"This... still... forget it."

Gu Siwei thought about it for a while or forgot it, looked down at the small stone mill in front of him, and felt that this small millstone suddenly felt as big as a mountain.

At this time, Gu Siwei misses mechanization so much, and misses decades later, what you want to buy when you pay for it. In this ghost age, you can’t buy things even if you have money, such as tractors, what you want is not a ticket. The problem is that the private will not buy it for you at all!
Not eligible to buy!

"What are you mumbling about?"

Liu Fulin heard Gu Siwei muttering all the time, his voice was too small to hear clearly.

If Liu Fulin's ears were sharp, he would definitely be able to hear: harvesters, generators, walking tractors... a long list of names.

"By the way, I have something to ask you," Liu Fulin said.

"You say".

Gu Siwei was a little distracted again.

"I'm going to change here, De Zhu is not reliable, I want you to go with me, we have a helper," Liu Fulin said.

Gu Siwei didn't react for a while, and when he heard the old man begging for his own business, he hummed.

At this time, Liu Fulin said again: "I'm afraid that they may be blackmailed by then, so you have to deal with it carefully. Don't be careless. If it doesn't work, you don't have to. We have to save our lives."

"Huh! Huh?!"

Gu Siwei looked at Liu Fulin, and now he heard the life insurance, and when he heard the life insurance, Gu Siwei felt shocked all over his body: "Isn't it?"

Liu Fulin said: "I don't think it's an ordinary person who dares to accept this at this time."

Having said that, I took a look at Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei thought about it for a while and thought it was right. If he dared to collect these things in the black market at this time, he would not have dared to do so if he was a little less courageous.

With such great courage, it is understandable to engage in black and black. As for why Liu Fulin wanted to find him, the reason is very simple. Gu Siwei can fight, at least better than Liu Dezhu.

There is another point that Gu Siwei did not expect. Liu Fulin felt that Gu Siwei had seen the world, and his grandson Liu Dezhu, a fool, could not be on the stage.

"Okay, I'll go with you then, let's be careful and try not to choose a place where no one is trading," Gu Siwei said.

Liu Fulin was a little strange, and asked, "What good place do you have? Isn't it courting death if we trade this thing on the street!"

At this time, Gu Siwei remembered the way of dealing with Zhao Minglan and the old man Tao who watched the gate last time, so he said, "It's easy to handle. Let's choose an alley in the factory. There should be few people passing through the alley. When the time comes, you can bring your things. They bring money tickets, and when the time comes, they will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, won’t it be done!”

Snapped!
Liu Fulin patted himself excitedly and grinned, but at this time he couldn't care less, and said loudly to Gu Siwei: "Why didn't I think that you cultural people are still quick-witted, and I still... Hey, forget it! If I had thought of this earlier, I wouldn’t bother you. Alright, I’ll take Dezhu to this matter.”

Gu Siwei said: "I have to go with you, in case there is an emergency, let's be careful to sail for ten thousand years."

"That's right! But with your move, I really let go of most of my heart. I haven't slept well these days. I'm afraid that the things will be given away and the money will not be returned. If this is the case, I will die ten times. not enough".

At this moment, Liu Fulin said he was going to die, but his face was full of happiness, and it suddenly changed from cloudy to sunny.

Gu Siwei was also happy, because he thought that he would not have to see the grinding plate for at least a day or two.
