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

Chapter 285 Ginger Soup
Before dark, Qin Yao finished counting.

A total of twelve families collected 530 kilograms of grain for Qin Yao, most of which were coarse grains and the other half were medium grains.

Qin Yao stood up with the recorded book and checked it again with Granny Wang and others. Both parties were sure that it was correct. She wrote another collective commission note, took out the red seal clay and asked everyone to press their fingerprints, so that they would not have to look for it later. She's in trouble.

There was nothing wrong with Qin Yao's actions. The villagers understood her and quite trusted her as a person. They didn't even glance at the content on the note and crowded forward to take their fingerprints.

Seeing them like this, Qin Yao couldn't help but jokingly asked: "Aren't you afraid that what I wrote on this note is that you owe me money?"

Granny Wang and others were all startled. The villagers who were pressing their fingerprints were stunned for a moment, their fingers hanging in the air hesitantly.

"."

"Ahem!" Qin Yao coughed twice uncomfortably, breaking the awkward atmosphere. She pulled a villager seriously, held up the words on the note, and read them one by one.

After reading, he patted the villager on the shoulder and said, "Remember? Next time someone asks you to sign and sign, ask them to read it to you first. If the number of words doesn't match, or there is a problem with sentence segmentation, you should be alert in your mind. .”

The villagers realized that Mrs. Qin was teaching them how to identify liars!

Everyone nodded wildly to show that they remembered it, and they were extremely moved.

Qin Yao kept smiling, watched them leave, turned around, and quickly raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her face. It seemed that she couldn't just joke with the villagers in the future, they would take it too seriously.

Awang has already prepared dinner. This person who has worked as a cook in a large restaurant is different. He can make simple dishes delicious.

Qin Yao asked Awang to bring a bowl to Liu Ji into the house, and waited for Awang to come out and start eating immediately.

The Dalang brother and sister all wanted to bury their heads in the rice, and each of them ate half a bowl of rice.

Fortunately, Awang cooked a little more today, and Liu Ji had no appetite and only ate half a bowl, otherwise it would not be enough for the four siblings.

It is said that a young man will starve me to death. Seeing the appetite of Da Lang and Er Lang, which is comparable to that of an adult man, Qin Yao secretly estimated the rice in her rice vat and asked Awang to leave three hundred kilograms of wheat when loading the truck tomorrow morning. , don’t pretend it’s all done.

The price of rice is high now, and the workers in the stationery factory consume a lot. Fortunately, Qin Yao and Carpenter Liu stocked up more grain for the factory at the beginning. Now that the price of rice has leveled off with the high price, the cost can be controlled.

Because in this special period, if new workers choose to eat in the factory, they will only be paid one-third of their wages.

The remaining two-thirds are not not given, but will be given after this special period has passed, leaving more funds for the factory just in case.

Therefore, just the requirement of providing two meals a day at the stationery factory made villagers from nearby villages squeeze their heads to get in.

Having said that, the children in the family have grown up and their appetite has increased, and they have more ngawang. The originally calculated food will definitely not be enough.

Keeping an extra three hundred pounds of wheat will be enough to last until the autumn harvest.

Awang nodded to express his understanding. Looking at the white rice and bacon in egg soup on the dining table, he actually wanted to tell Qin Yao that if the food standard at home was lowered, there would be no need to keep the three hundred kilograms of wheat.

But the food in his mouth was so delicious that he couldn't make such a suggestion against his will.

In fact, Awang was also surprised. He thought that if he followed Liu Ji back to Liujia Village, he would definitely be in trouble.

Who would have thought that Qin Yao's family not only ate well, but also allowed him to eat so well with them? This kind of luck makes people unconsciously longing to stay there for the rest of their lives.

After dinner, it was the turn of Erlang Sanlang, who was on duty today, to get back the money box from the water mill.

There are two eggs, and you can tell at a glance that Grandma Wang and her grandson have been here today.

There are also three copper coins and half a bowl of green beans.The dishes were put in the kitchen, and the money was given to Erlang and locked in his small treasury.

"Auntie, the income in the past few days has been [-]% less than before." Erlang flipped through his small account book and reported to Qin Yao.

"It's okay." Qin Yao told him: "The situation is different. Now we don't dare to spend money. It will get better when this wave of disaster passes."

Erlang was still a little worried, "What if the disaster never gets over?"

Qin Yao pointed to the green mountains and green waters outside, "You just need to pay attention to the land we live in. The grass has not grown long and the fish have not swam. If the land can still grow crops and there are still fish swimming in the river, it will be difficult." It will pass soon."

Just as he was talking, a silver light flashed on the roof, followed by a rumble of thunder.

"It's thundering!" Si Niang ran into the house excitedly, "Mom, it's going to rain~"

When it rains, there will be water, and there will be fish swimming in the river. The disaster will be over soon.

Qin Yao nodded calmly and moved the stool to the door. The children stood behind her. The mother and son looked at the sky together to watch the rain fall.

The rainy night came with its own white noise, and the whole family had a good sleep.

When Qin Yao got up in the morning, the rain had stopped and there was still some water on the ground. Qin Yao took the grain truck to the outside of the city. The road was muddy and difficult to walk. When he arrived, he was more than half an hour later than the scheduled time yesterday.

The refugees had already been waiting outside the pavilion, and they looked excited when they saw the grain truck coming.

It rained heavily last night, and the simple shacks could not protect themselves from the impact of the rain. The refugees were covered in mud and water, their bare feet stepped on the muddy ground, and water drops were still dripping from the tips of their hair.

The thin child curled up in the mother's arms to absorb the warmth. The woman held the child in one hand and spread the wet firewood with the other hand, letting out a weak sigh.

Qin Yao considers herself not a good person, and feels disgusted with the refugees who abandon their bottom line and do evil, but seeing such a scene at the moment, she still wants to do something.

"Awang, you go to Ding's house to find the young master of the Ding family. Tell him that I asked you to go and buy ten kilograms of ginger, and then use the pot to cook a pot of ginger soup for them."

Awang immediately put down the scale in his hand, accepted the task, and ran towards the town.

Soon, he came back with a big iron pot, followed by a fair girl wearing men's clothes, holding a bag of ginger in her hand. When she saw Qin Yao, she smiled, revealing her white teeth.

"Qin Yao!" She waved to Qin Yao excitedly.

Unexpectedly, the warm welcome she expected did not come. What she responded to was Qin Yao's cold face, "What are you doing here? You didn't bring a single guard with you. You came out secretly?"

Qin Yao glanced at Awang dissatisfied.

Awang was very innocent, and his wife didn't say anything about not letting him bring the Ding family over.

Moreover, Miss Ding followed up on her own. He was only responsible for Qin Yao's family and would not pay attention to what others were doing.

Qin Yao choked at Awang's innocent look. People were already here, and it was useless to talk. She asked Awang to quickly set up the stove and make ginger soup, while she continued to weigh and sell the grain.

When Ding Xiang was left hanging, he knew that Qin Yao was angry with him and did not dare to come forward. He rolled up his sleeves and followed Awang to help with the work he knew how to do.

By the time the ginger soup was distributed, Ding Xiang was already paralyzed from exhaustion and sat on a wooden stake to relax.Look at the refugee children walking around in front of you, smile at them from time to time, and you will receive some "treasures" such as stones and leaves.
