Chapter 83

"No one uses it. It is fried and eaten in winter. It is used as dry food. Rich people feed it to pigs, cattle and sheep. It is also time to go up the mountain to harvest soybeans," Zhang said.

If this is the case, then it will be easy to handle, Yixue is even happier, it is another way to get rich.Yi Xue found that she was more and more interested in money now.

"That's really great, mother, tell me, where else is there?" Yi Xue asked happily.

"The mountains near Huawang Village in Xiahe Village are all over the place, so what's so strange?" Mrs. Zhang looked at Yi Xue who was smiling all over her face in puzzlement. Did she have any strange thoughts?
"Hurry up, call everyone, let's collect the beans," Yi Xue cheered.

Soy milk, tofu, tofu flower, my favorite.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know what Yi Xue was going to do. Seeing her so happy, she knew it was a good thing, and quickly called the whole family. Of course, Xiaojun was forced to stay in school.

After walking for six or seven miles, I arrived at the back of Huawang Mountain. Yi Xue saw at a glance that the whole mountain was full of colors, all kinds of flowers and plants were in pieces, and butterflies were flying, like a fairyland.If this was placed in the previous life, it must be a tourist attraction.I have never seen such a beautiful picture.

Yi Xue couldn't help picking a flower and smelling it, it smells so good, it's just natural.Weaved a flower basket to wear on the head.

"Sister, it's so pretty." Sanya ran over bouncingly, holding a lot of colorful flowers in her hand, "Sister, make one up for me too"

"Okay", Yi Xue smiled and knitted a straw hat for Sanya, and put it on her head, and Sanya cheered happily.

Mrs. Zhang smiled slightly, she had already prepared the guy, and started to do it first.

"Hehe, pick more and put them in the house, it will look good," Yi Xue said with a smile.Sanya nodded excitedly, and went to pick flowers with Erya.These two are too young to do much work, so let them mess around.

The back of Mt. Kao is really a treasure trove. The soybeans all over the mountain are scattered on the mountain. It is simply a soybean farm.

Get rich!
Where is the money!

"Mother, close it quickly," Yi Xue said excitedly.

The four of them took the cage and put it away together, and didn't stop until it was getting dark.The car was already full, and Yi Xue estimated that it weighed at least six or seven hundred catties.But there are still a lot on this mountain. If you collect them all, you won’t be able to eat all the tofu for the whole winter, and you can also drink white soy milk, which is much better than coarse grain porridge, and it is also the most nutritious.

Just as they were leaving, Yi Xue saw several farmers who were not from the same village also in the mountains, seeming to be picking beans.

"Auntie, do you pick beans too?" Yi Xue asked a village woman.

The woman raised her head, sweating profusely, and said, "Yes, this thing is not only eaten as dry food in winter, but also sold for money. Today I heard from Granny Zhang in the village that there is a girl who wants to charge this thing for five yuan. One catty, that’s a great benevolent person, usually no one buys it for two cents, so I came here to collect some to subsidize the family.”

It turned out that they were collected for herself, Yi Xue smiled, "Auntie, do you have many people who come to collect this kind of beans?"

The aunt put down the basket, twisted her waist, and then said politely, "No, every household has women and children, and they have collected a lot, but I don't know if the girl wants so much?"

Yi Xue said with a smile, "Auntie, yes, why not, and the girl you are talking about is me"

The aunt was stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise, "Is it really you, a girl?"

Yixue nodded, "Auntie, go back and tell the people in the village that I will charge you as much as you have for this kind of beans, and the price is still five yuan a catty, but if you want them to be delivered to my home, my home is in Huawang Village. alright"

"That's great, by the way, girl, did your family build a house some time ago?" the aunt asked hurriedly.

"It's my home"

The aunt immediately put down the things in her hands, and said excitedly, "My man went to build your house, Hei Zhu, and he came back and told me that the girl's family is kind, and it is a blessing to work for your family." "

Yi Xue thought about it, and there was indeed a short, fat, dark man who didn't talk much, a very down-to-earth man.

"I know, ha ha," Yi Xue smiled.

"Okay, girl, I'll send Hei Zhu and Granny Zhang to your home tomorrow," said the aunt happily.

………………

When Yi Xue returned home, it was already dark.After pouring all the soybeans into a room, Sanya patted her stomach and cried out that she was hungry.

Mrs. Zhang and Yi Xue got busy in the kitchen, and the meal was ready in a while.Call Mr. Wang, and we all ate together.

Yi Xue returned to her room, opened the paper, then thought about the stone mill from her previous life, and drew on the picture.

In the early morning of the next day, after Yi Xue packed up, she gave the eggs she bought to Lao Zhangtou to incubate in high spirits, while she thought about how to grind tofu.

One thing is missing, plaster.I don't know if this thing exists in this world, and Yi Xue still doesn't know much about this world.

"Mother, do you know where plaster is sold?" Yi Xue asked.

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, "The medicine hall should have it."

Gypsum can also be used as medicine, so I ordered Lao Zhangtou to go to the Baijia Pharmacy and bought a lot of gypsum.

As for the stone mill, Yi Xue asked her mother that Wang Changxi in the village can make a millstone, he worked in the ore field back then.So he hurriedly sent Lao Zhangtou to find Wang Changxi.

"Uncle Wang, can you make this stone mill?" Yi Xue handed the blueprint to Wang Changxi.

Wang Changxi took it, and then saw a small millstone on a big millstone, two very long pull rods, and a hole in the middle of the millstone.He didn't understand how this thing was used.

"Uncle Wang, will you do it?" Yi Xue asked worriedly.

Wang Changxi looked at it for a long time, then asked about the details, and then said, "My lord, this millstone may take five or six days. It's not easy to cut such a big stone and dig a hole in the middle." "

"Uncle Wang, I'll give you eight taels of silver, if you hurry up, just make it for me," Yi Xue said, as long as it can be made.

Hearing about eight taels of silver, Wang Changxi said simply, "Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."

Yi Xue asked Mrs. Zhang to vacate a larger room in the outer courtyard, tidy up the inside, put several large tanks of water, and bought a lot of gauze for preparation.

Yi Xue sat on the threshold, thinking about what was missing.If I make tofu, I can eat it at home. If I sell it, I have to rely on my own family. I am afraid that I don’t have time and it is too hard.After thinking about it, I was really tired after running around during this period of time. Zhangtou is getting old and his physical strength can't keep up.

Simply buy a few servants, on the one hand to reduce the burden on the family, on the other hand, not afraid that the recipe of the tofu workshop will be leaked.

"Mother, should our family also buy some servants?" Yi Xue said to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just such a small thing in our family, and we still need servants? You really think it's a rich man's family."

Yi Xue said seriously, "Mom, our family is getting more and more busy, and we will be so busy that we won't even be able to take care of Sanya and the others. It's not good if no one takes care of us."

When it came to Sanya, Zhang also felt that she was so busy that she didn't have time to take care of her. After thinking about it, she felt that what the eldest daughter said made sense.

"Yeah, that's right. You're busy all day. It's always bad for a girl to show up. Buy a few girls and a stronger man." Zhang said with a smile.

Mrs. Zhang didn't ask Yi Xue if she had money, and now she completely believed in Yi Xue's ability, she never asked about money.

Yi Xue thought for a while, and it would be safer to find the village chief to buy someone. The village chief knows a lot of people, and the people he finds are also reliable.

With a basket of eggs and a strip of pork, Yi Xue went to the Li Chang's house.

The head of the village is busy knocking grain in the yard. Now that the farming is busy, there is no advanced thresher, so it can only be processed by hand.Seeing Yi Xue coming, he laughed and said, "Big girl, why are you free today?"
