The daily farming life of the black-bellied young lady

Chapter 116 Adding Manual Work

"I understand. I really want to change some. When the time comes, you can also talk to Wang Naiyuan. I don't know how many you have here. If there are few, I will take the rest you need." Chu Chu Ying originally had no feelings for Bai Yuhe, because she burned down her own house, Chu Ying still had a grudge in her heart, but now she is pregnant, and her mother is the most beautiful, Chu Ying only hopes to help her more.

Bai Yuhe choked with sobs, covered her mouth with her hands, tried to smile but tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, "Chu Ying really thank you."

"Why are you crying? You can't cry. It's not good for the child. I'll go back first, Mrs. Wang, I'll go first..." Chu Ying felt a little embarrassed seeing Bai Yuhe like this, it's better to leave early.

"Why do you have to leave after coming here for a while... Yuhe left Chu Ying behind. Last time she went to Naiyuan to chop firewood and made Naiyuan earn a lot of money. I have to thank her. Where is she?" Aunt Wang saw Bai Yuhe Sitting lonely on the floor, the tears on her face were still wet, and she walked over to follow her back.

"Chu Ying, this child is really humane. We have to remember these human feelings. When the time comes, we need to help more. Don't sit on the floor, sit on the cushion, and don't catch the cold." Aunt Wang helped Bai Yuhe up, Bai Yuhe's arms After 4 months, my belly is bigger than others.

When Chu Ying went home, she tied up the straw and piled it up, or it would take up a lot of space. When the move was almost done, Wang Naiyuan carried four bundles of straw and put them in the yard. She put her face down and left, and moved back and forth like this until When the sun is about to set.

Chu Ying took the rice picker out, and didn't know how to change it, "No need, you use these first, and I'll move them tomorrow."

Just as Chu Ying wanted to ask him how to change it, Wang Naiyuan went home panting. Chu Ying didn't know why Wang Naiyuan did this. Although it meant helping him, the main reason was that she really needed it.

In the next few days, Wang Naiyuan finished the farm work on the ground and moved the straw back, but in a few days, half a shed had been piled up on the side where the toon seeds were placed.Chu Ying counted the number of bundles. It should be about the same for 10 liter of rice for 1.5 bundles. This liter is about [-] catties.

After waiting for Wang Naiyuan to move, he wiped off his sweat with a wet face towel, "There is no need to give food. Didn't you give three sacks before? You can't get a bag of these. I kept some from the house on the ground and moved them here." , I will plow the wheat field on your side tomorrow, and you will do it first, and then I will see if you want to plant wheat.

"No, you have been busy for so many days, how can you not let you take anything, I will go get food." Chu Ying looked at the straw that had almost filled the entire shed, and because it was neatly arranged, Chu Ying became long and wide Multiplying the heights, there are almost 500 bundles. Chu Ying took 5 buckets of rice with the sack.

"This is what you use in exchange for straw and labor. If you don't take this wheat field, you won't be able to plow it. If you come, I will drive you away." Chu Ying added some water to the clay pot filled with water, Wang Naiyuan This day without rest, just moving back and forth like this, the consumption of energy and water is still quite large.

Seeing that Wang Naiyuan was still panting heavily while putting the face towel on his shoulders, Chu Ying lifted Mi directly to his side and took his hand to continue. "Go and rest quickly, I'm exhausted these days."

Wang Naiyuan squeezed the mouth of the sack tightly, looked at Chu Ying who was mowing the grass and blushed, and wanted to remove the broken hair stuck to her cheeks, but she couldn't lift her hand.

"Okay, I'll take this, and I'll plow the land tomorrow."

Chu Ying scooped up the almost mashed rice straw in a basket and poured it into the steaming vat, added plant ash, and added some firewood to the stove.look at
The shed is full of piles, these forages are easy to make some days, but Chu Ying has to collect some more, and she has to make all the paper in autumn, and it will be too uncomfortable to touch the water in winter.

When it snows again in winter, it will be even colder and biting. At that time, making paper must be a kind of torture. In the next few days, Wang Naiyuan helped to plow the land and sow seeds, so he continued to help Chu Ying chop firewood and help Chu Ying along the way. Sakura went to find someone to collect straw.

Naturally, Wang Naiyuan looked for Qian Yong, Lu Meng and other brothers first, but they were a little skeptical. After all, the straw was as worthless as weeds when it dried up. The ox cart was brought to transport the straw.

Chu Ying asked them to pile up the straw in the yard, and added the previous three large vats to the retting queue, so that the process could move faster, but let them deliver it once or twice a day, otherwise it would be too much There is no place to put it. If the yard is full of dry things, it may cause a fire.

"Is this what you girls are doing? It's quite light to use, but it's tiring to have so many cockroaches. These legs must be thick." Qian Yong sat next to the cockroaches and tried to forage. .

Qian Yong, a boy, is naturally more relaxed and neat than a girl. After he has mastered some rhythms, he will be handy, and he will be almost ready in a short while.

"You should be fine after the busy farming is over, why don't you come to me to help, and you can settle the bill for copper coins or grain."

Qian Yong was so excited that he almost fell off Chunzi's plank when he heard that there was work to do, "Really, I've been fine recently, this year's production is low, and there's not much work at home. Even if the farming season is busy, it won't take a few days. I'm just hanging out at home, as always, doing whatever I get."

Seeing Qian Yong jumping up and down happily, Chu Ying only thought it was amused, "Lu Meng, are you okay?"

Lu Meng fed the cow some grass and shook his head.Chu Ying asked the two to be in charge of the forage that had been mashed and retting, while she and Ye Qiu were in charge of watching the fire and making paper, and Wang Naiyuan chopped firewood as before.

"You can also do it differently. Naiyuan chops firewood. If your hands or legs are sore, you can adjust it yourself." Chu Ying said that the two of them started to work.

With the help of these two strong men, the entire production line was speeded up a lot, and Chu Ying and Ye Qiu baked paper together at a much faster speed.

When the two came every day, they would drive their own ox carts with straw, and when the day's work was done, they would go back with grain. One liter of rice would be produced on this day. This year's harvest is not good, so they both want to give grain instead of silver, because they don't know how much grain can be exchanged for the copper coins.

"Chu Ying, do you have a lot of food in your family? I didn't even see you planting rice... you are all wheat, did you trade this food?" Qian Yong sipped the water shield and fish soup made by Ye Qiu and brought it by himself. I ate the steamed cakes with relish.

"Yes, I also made some money from making paper. I traded for rice earlier, and I don't know how many coppers a liter is in the city at this time..."

Chu Ying asked Ye Qiu to make more steamed cakes. After all, the two of them were doing physical work, and they would work slowly if they didn't have enough to eat, so they added two steamed cakes for them.

"No need, that's enough. Food is very expensive now. We only eat steamed cakes when we go out to work. We can only drink dilute ones at home." Lu Meng put the steamed cakes on a plate.

"20 Wen per liter. Those who have food in this family have to sell it for money. Those who have no money will not change it. At that time, we don't know how the price of food will rise. However, some families who have no money to pay taxes can only change it. Some families with more surplus are earning quite a lot now.”

"Eat more, how can you have the strength to work if you don't have enough to eat? You always need another one for each person. You are still being polite to me. Aren't you working for me?" Chu Ying asked Ye Qiu Add one or two eggs in it to add a little nutrition.
