After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 11
The two brothers, whose self-esteem was punctured, were not aware at all at this moment. They saw many more broken branches under the woods in front of them, and they were so happy that they ran over to pick them up.

Qin Yao stopped the two of them and asked them to come back and go up the mountain with him.

There are only a few small animals in the small forest where the villagers cut firewood. They are still safe when adults keep an eye on them.

Dalang and Erlang were a little confused, but they still followed her up the mountain.

Arriving halfway up the slope, Qin Yao chose a place with dense trees, threw the rope away, and asked her brother to wait in the relatively flat small open space, then picked up the hatchet and got into the bushes.

Qin Yao first cut down two tree branches and made a tripod wood stand for Dalang, then went deeper and chopped wood with a knife.

She was so fast that the child's arm-thick firewood was thrown from the grass one by one, and it was quickly piled up.

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other in surprise, so much firewood!
But soon, they discovered that this was too much.

Well, it must be that the stepmother is planning to cut more and then carry it home slowly.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao tied up all the firewood that these strong men had to carry twice, tied it into two bundles, selected the thickest one as a pole, and picked it up directly.

She took two steps on the spot and felt that the weight was not enough, so she picked a few from Dalang's firewood rack and stuffed them in. When she thought it was suitable, she motioned to the two brothers to carry their respective firewood racks and baskets on their backs and go home.

Dalang has never seen a three-legged firewood frame. People in the village tie up the firewood and carry it. Those with strong strength carry it. He has never seen such a fork.

Qin Yao had no choice but to put down the burden, lifted the firewood frame and put it on Da Lang's small shoulders, letting him support his feet on both sides.

For more than ten catties of firewood, there is a firewood frame that disperses the stress point, from a single point to the entire shoulder. Da Lang was surprised to find that it was much easier to carry.

The back basket was full of fine firewood that Qin Yao had cut in advance, which was useful for lighting a fire. It looked like the back basket was full, but it was actually not heavy, only eight or nine catties.

Erlang can carry it on his back.

"Can I go?" Qin Yao asked.

The two brothers nodded, feeling the joy of harvest in their hearts.

Especially seeing the two big bundles of firewood on Qin Yao's burden, I was both surprised and admired.

They have never seen anyone who has more burdens than the stepmother!

The mother and son came down from the mountain and had to cross the fields in the village to get home.

The villagers first found the firewood on Dalang's shoulders, and when they got closer, they found a fork holding the firewood. Dalang supported the two extended legs and walked easily on the shoulders.

But the firewood is more than can be carried when tied up.

Why didn't they think of making a firewood frame before? It doesn't look difficult, just a wooden plank between two tree branches.It saves effort on the shoulders.

Then, his eyes were unconsciously attracted by two bundles of firewood that were moving by themselves.

That bundle of firewood was worth two others, adding up to at least [-] kilograms.

"Oh, isn't that the new lady from Liu Laosan's family?"

The villagers discovered that there was another person between the two moving firewood, but because of his small stature, he was blocked by the firewood.

What surprised them even more was that this person was actually Mrs. Qin from Liu Laosan's family.

"How did she get so much strength!"

The villagers in the field watched the mother and son pass by in a daze, until they disappeared, and their surprised jaws slowly closed.

Afterwards, the news that Liu Laosan had married a strong woman spread in the village.

In the evening, when Qin Yao led her four brothers and sisters and set up a stall near the village well with the straw sandals she had made, she had already become what the villagers called a "strong hag"!
At this point in time, everyone has finished the farm work in the field, and there is still some time before dinner. They all like to gather at the village well for a rest, and there are more people.

A child was playing around under the big tree by the well, and when he saw Qin Yao appearing, he screamed "Ah!", and fled in all directions, hiding behind his parents and grandma, looking at her with fear and curiosity.

Qin Yao raised her brows, coincidentally this is not the case, and it happened to give her a good place to set up a stall.

"Put it on." Qin Yao raised her chin at the four wiff signals standing in front of her.

Sanlang and Siniang spread the broken straw mats pulled out from home under the tree.

Dalang Erlang untied the ten pairs of straw sandals strung in his arms and spread them out.

Qin Yao tidied up again, put a wooden sign on the ground, and wrote a few black characters with charcoal: A pair of straw sandals for three pennies!
Clap your hands and live together.

Although they were afraid of the 'strong dominatrix', the villagers couldn't help but gathered around curiously to see what the five mother and son were up to.

However, not everyone knows the word "three" and "one", only a few people know it.

Qin Yao patted Erlang on the shoulder. After several days of observation, she found that Erlang was the thickest-skinned kid and the most open-minded.

Erlang took a big step forward, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth to sell: "Sell straw sandals, a pair of Sanwen, a pair of Sanwen, as long as three Wen, you can take home the finely woven straw sandals!"

This sudden roar first startled the onlookers, and then they realized that they were selling straw sandals.

Erlang continued to shout at the top of his lungs: "With three cents, you can't suffer a loss or be cheated. As long as three cents, you can take away comfortable and durable finely woven straw sandals!"

"If you don't have money, you can exchange it with something!"

Sanwen a pair, this price was calculated by Qin Yao after studying the consumption level of the villagers and the value of the loofah and green vegetables exchanged yesterday.

Sure enough, everyone was very excited about the price, and even more excited about the barter.

Although I was still talking about Qin Yao's mother Yasha just now, but it was a joke and gossip after all, and the price is affordable, so I don't worry about it anymore.

Straw sandals are needed by every household. Seeing Erlang shouting so hard, a pair of women squatted down in front of the stall.

Si Niang immediately picked up the shoes and handed them to them, "Aunt Zhou, the shoes made by my mother are really good, you can buy a pair."

Qin Yao was a little surprised. She thought Si Niang was timid and clingy, but she didn't expect to take the initiative to sell her.

Children are working so hard, even an adult Qin Yao is too embarrassed to stand still. She smiled and took the initiative to explain how strong her shoes are, and it took a lot of effort to make a pair.

The woman who was called Aunt Zhou by the fourth mother looked over and over again, and found that the shoes were really strong, and the size was also suitable for her man's feet. Recently, the men in the family went to work on the ground, and the straw sandals on their feet were rotten, and they were about to replace them with new ones.

"Miss Qin, I'll take two pairs, can you make it cheaper?" Sister-in-law Zhou asked tentatively.

Qin Yao was also straightforward, "Okay, open the first order, and I will get you two pairs for five cents."

Taking advantage, Mrs. Zhou was happy, took out the chosen straw sandals and put them aside, motioned Qin Yao to wait for her, and she went home to get the copper coins.

He trotted back quickly, counted the five cents three times before passing it to Qin Yao, and happily took away the two pairs of straw sandals.

Whether the business was done for one order or two pairs, the four brothers and sisters of the Liu family all laughed.

Erlang yelled harder, Si Niang took advantage of her small size, took the initiative to find someone to sell her shoes, and acted cute and pitiful.

She specifically looked for those aunts, because she found that aunts only had money in their pockets.

Seeing how brave his younger sister was, Saburo summoned up his courage and followed, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to buy shoes? You can buy a pair."

The brother and sister cooperated and sold another pair. They looked at Qin Yao in surprise and asked for praise.

Although the brother and sister were dressed in rags, their faces were clean and their hair was tied neatly into a bun. They looked very cute.

The more the straw sandals were sold, the smoother it was. Someone exchanged bowls they didn't use at home, five rough porcelain bowls with a bit of a gap, and exchanged for a pair of shoes.

Another grandma brought three eggs in exchange for a pair.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark, and the families went back to eat. In the end, only Qin Yao, mother and son were left, counting today's harvest excitedly under the tree.
