Chapter 122 Rent out the thresher and earn back the money
(Children's shoes, this chapter is a big chapter, with a total of about [-] words, so it will not be opened, because there is no update this morning, so you will have to read it twice when you get it. I don't know what it will be in the future. Is it better to have [-] words in the first update or [-] words in the second update? If you have any suggestions, you can leave a message in the book review area.)
Dalin became Li Dequan's apprentice, but he regarded this place as his home, but he only went back to the yard over there when he was sleeping.

In this way, Xu Qinshi laughed at Li Dequan for having an extra son, and Li Dequan also laughed, "One apprentice is half a son, and I am doing well now. After Jingzhe came to Dalin Jinxuan, there are four boys in total. We who went out this time I'm not afraid of anything anymore."

An Jinxuan pursed his lips beside him, as if he agreed with what Li Dequan said.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and the rice was yellowing piece by piece, but if you look at it from a high place, you can also find that the yellow is not the same kind of yellow, some are blue-yellow and some are golden-yellow, intersecting together. Once it passes, there will be a piece of yellow waves. At this time, the harvest time will come.

This trip is late rice, and the autumn is refreshing when harvesting, so naturally there is no need to be as busy as early rice. After the early rice is harvested, it will be planted again, and after the late rice is harvested, the farmers can take a breather from the busy days of the year. Now, at this time, the farmers walking on the ridges of large and small fields have a sense of leisure. They carry cigarette bags to drain the water in the fields, and it will be much easier when they go into the fields to cut rice.

There are several advantages of this dry field. One is that the grains will not get wet, so it is naturally easier to dry. Those who work in the fields do not need to use muddy legs to move. Moreover, the straw left over after harvesting the grains is thrown in the field to dry, just like drying in the yard. It is very white. It is best to tie things or put them under the mat. Some people who have better days have cattle and pigs, but they are not willing to use the straw of the late rice to pad the pigsty and cattle pens.There is not much rain in autumn. People can rest for a while after cutting the rice, and then go to bundle the straw in the field into small bundles, and then directly set up straw stacks in the rice field. The whole field, at that time, also It became a paradise for children in Zhuangzi.

When the threshing machines that Li Dequan had finished were being transported to various villages one after another, An Jinxuan, Jingzhe, Dalin, Li Dejiang, and Chen Yongyu also scattered along with these threshing machines. Jingzhe didn't go to private schools these days, Anyway, the landlord's family also harvested in autumn. Although the young master of the Tian family didn't need to go to the fields, but the family was busy, and there were so many people coming and going, and they didn't have the heart to study, so the private school of the Tian family also stopped for half a month.

An Jinxuan and his group went to various villages to teach others how to use the threshing machine and collect the rent money.

Seeing such a posture, Gu Yu felt at ease, needless to say, these people are technicians trained by herself, she thought about how to think of a few more ways in the future, so she can stay at home and be a happy The charter wife, the days are beautiful, but she is still a little worried about the family's work, the three families add up, and there are more than ten acres of land to harvest.

The courtyard on the other side of this issue also knows that Li He has expressed his idea of ​​partnership more than once, but Li Dequan should not. He naturally has his own ideas. If he has not returned to Zhuangzi or just returned to Zhuangzi, Li Dequan couldn't wait for Li He to bring this up, but after going through so many things, he has taken it easy. If there is any benefit, he will share it with the other side. This partnership is not allowed. Originally It's fun for everyone to do things together, but for the Zhang family and the Chen family, if the time comes, it's hard to say for themselves, even if the work has to be counted, it's an endless thing, he I don't want that to happen.

Since Li He couldn't say anything, she didn't mention it anymore. Anyway, after this autumn harvest, the family will be completely divided, and it's not her turn to worry about these things.Mrs. Chen whispered to the people on the other side of her natal family, saying that the third family was afraid that they would be spoiled.It's just that Chen Yongyu originally belonged to the Chen family and was the head of the village. He always did things fairly. Since he was doing business with a partner, he would not lose to Li He's side, so there were not many people who said Chen's words. Believe it, everyone listened to it as a joke, and some even said seriously, "You have already been honored by others, but the threshing machine costs tens of pennies a day, and you can use it vigorously." , If I were you, I would have nothing to say." Her words made Chen go home blushing.

After two or three days, An Jinxuan and Jing Zhe came back first, followed by Li Dejiang and Chen Yongyu, and finally Dalin.

After a few people rested, they began to collectively discuss the situation in the past few days. The Zhuangzi who went to Jingzhe happened to be the Shiwei Village where Qiao'e was going to marry. The threshing machines were also booked, Jing Zhe got back two strings of money, Li Dejiang and Chen Yongyu were in the same situation, but An Jinxuan took out the silver from his bosom, which shocked everyone, and all he got was five taels of silver.

Li Dequan couldn't sit still anymore, "Jinxuan, you sold the threshing machine, didn't you?"

Chen Yongyu and Li Dejiang didn't believe it either. The threshers that An Jinxuan brought over were two, and each of them had similar ones. Why, he took back five taels of silver and looked over with unison.

Seeing everyone's disbelief, An Jinxuan said, "I didn't sell the threshing machine either, I just broke it up into pieces."

"Break it into pieces? Disassemble it?"

An Jinxuan saw that it was almost done, and then he began to reveal the secret, "It's not a big deal to put it bluntly, think about it, if we rent the threshing machine to someone else, it costs 45 ten cash a day, and the big family will naturally be able to afford it and be willing to use it." It’s only used in the place I went to, but everyone is pretty much the same, Zhuangzi is small, so there is no one who is too rich, and each family has a little spare money.”

Jing Zhe seemed to know something. "Then you are, let a few of them share one, and then be the cashier?"

An Jinxuan shook his head and took a sip of tea, "I just stop the threshing machine and keep going. I have thought about it carefully. Even if you use it day and night, the threshing machine is not easy to break. It’s probably because the wood chips on the wheel are not good, and it’s not difficult to replace them. A glutinous rice cake is too big to bite, so I cut it into pieces and sell it, and it’s okay after all, so I rented out the threshing machine according to the hour. When I go out, from morning to evening, I will charge a little more for an hour, and if I work at night, I will charge a little less. Anyway, I just sit there, and the money will naturally go into my pocket. .”

This method is good, but no one in the big guys thought, why would anyone be willing to use it in the middle of the night? But after thinking about it carefully, it is indeed the case. It is not good for several families to share the money when the time comes. I also feel that there are more fields over there, and I feel that there are fewer people here.As for An Jinxuan, they don't have these troubles. Anyway, they cut a piece of land at home. The weather is good and they won't be soaked. I don't know how fast it is, everyone is looking forward to such a thing.

So that's it, An Jinxuan marked out that time, some people have little money or are reluctant to let the big guy rest well, and go out to use it in the middle of the night, just order two more torches, or I can take a cool picture.

That is to say, a thresher can only be rented for 45 ten yuan a day, but now An Jinxuan has paid more than 100 yuan, and some days are even more. Jinxuan also hired a real person to watch over him. If he gave someone ten cents a day, that person would be willing. Where could he find such a good job, so naturally An Jinxuan didn't have to worry about it. He just waited for a while. Just pull the threshing machine back, so it's not surprising that five taels of silver are just taken back like this.

Chen Yongyu sighed, and made a joke, "I'm talking about why Dequan said that he had four sons that day. Naturally, Jingzhe Xiazhi needn't say it. Anyway, Dalin is also a disciple, but I didn't understand it. , now I figured it out."

Li Dejiang obviously hadn't figured it out yet, so he asked anxiously.

Chen Yongyu laughed loudly, "It's called being close to the water and getting the moon first. Who asked them to live together? Dequan appointed that he had already discovered that Jinxuan was a great kid, so he wanted to recognize him as his son first, so that he wouldn't be robbed later, right?" , you see, he went out alone for a few days, but he can beat us two old bones."

For a while, everyone laughed.

Li Dejiang also knocked on his cigarette pipe and said with a smile, "No, we didn't think of this. The living habits of our ancestors have been used to it for generations. Who would harvest in the middle of the night? I said Jingzhe is also amazing. He is a scholar after all. Just look at it." We are rushing back here and rushing to go tomorrow, he can be the hands-off shopkeeper, it's just Jingzhe, you make people tired, but..."

After he finished speaking, Jing Zhe understood, and hurriedly added, "Second Uncle, I put the threshing machine in their home. If they use it anyway, they will be a family after a while, and they can't drill it." In the eyes of money, it’s not enough, besides, the Zhuangzi over there is cheap, if my little aunt is married, she will have a bright face, and the people there will naturally look up to her, so I am lower than you A little rent, let my little aunt go and talk."

Li Dequan was the first to express his opinion, "If this can be of such great use, then we won't take any money!"

Jing Zhe saw that Li Dequan said it very easily, but he also disagreed, "Father, it's not possible. If we don't accept this, we can't do business at a loss. Everyone in the surrounding villages can also inquire, anyway, they are in the village. The rent is less for the little aunt. If we don’t charge it, it will be a tiring job for us to use the ox cart to carry the thresher there. If we don’t go, we will be pointed out by others. It’s better to charge less. So, the business is not losing money, and it also has a good reputation."

Chen Yongyu slapped his hands and laughed, "I'm right, we both admit defeat, why are you still fighting, just admit your old age, this Jingzhe stays with Jinxuan, I really don't know what I will do Things are coming."

Dalin held the corner of his clothes with his hand, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Chen Yongyu was rather happy, "Dalin, how is your situation?"

Dalin laughed dryly, his face turned red, he took out more than 100 Wen coins from his pocket, and mumbled: "I... I'm really useless, I don't know how to think so much, anyway, I only charge five coins a day. Ten Wen, it’s been three days, and I’ll take it back, tomorrow’s, I’ll collect it tomorrow.”

Seeing Dalin like that, Li Dejiang went out of his way to comfort him, "Dalin, don't lose heart, this is how it is. We used to collect 150 Wen a day, and you should be [-] Wen in the past three days. Don't look at them." There is a lot of money now, but they won’t have any income in the future, and you, the one who can collect money every day, we are not in a hurry, just a little income, maybe more than them.”

Dalin felt a little more relaxed when he said this, but he was a little embarrassed, "There is a family that is similar to ours. There is a mother who lives with three and a half children. I watched them work hard, so... I didn't ask for it." With so much money, there are only 120 Wen here.”

He lowered his head again while talking, Li Dequan looked at him like that, "Dalin, this trip is really embarrassing for you, otherwise, we won't go next time, we will do work at home, those crooked me I don’t understand, let them figure it out.”

Each perform their duties and have their own division of labor. This is how it was originally, and everyone has no objection. Chen Yongyu also thinks it is good, "Dalin, if your master goes out, maybe you are not as good as you."

Perhaps just to verify such a sentence, Li Dequan scratched his head, "Jinxuan, I still don't understand the time-sharing you mentioned just now, so tell uncle again."

Everyone was so happy that everyone laughed, so they discussed it. Jingzhe and An Jinxuan went to the remaining villages to take care of the threshing machines. Chen Yongyu and Dalin Li Dequan led the Jiang family and Wang family to start harvesting rice. Gu Yu and Xiaoman were in charge of drying the rice, cooking and taking care of the children by the way, those who were too busy called Xu Qin also stayed at home.

An Jinxuan and Jingzhe naturally had no problems. The two of them walked together because they were afraid of being too busy. They went to Zhuangzi a few times a day to see what suits them. But after two days of work, they won't get it back. With less money, the rest of the day will be much easier, because each village has hired people to guard them, and they just need to go to see which village's threshing machine has a problem and which Zhuangzi's thresher is working. kind.If there is a problem, come back and ask Li Dequan to fix it. Dalin can solve the occasional small problem by himself. The money he got back that day is so little that he can't hold his head up. An Jinxuan and the others always say that he How much was collected over there, and those threshers were all dependent on him, which coaxed Dalin to turn around.

Xiaohe, Chen Jiangsheng, and Xiaoman were drying millet in the drying yard. Xu Qinshi refused to stay, but she still wanted to go to the field, but the people in the field refused to let her go, so she always went to cut it every morning, and then went home Cook in the house, and then come to the drying yard to watch with everyone.

Gu Yu has been thinking about how to improve the threshing machine. The efficiency of using the hand is really not high, but for a while, she doesn't know where to start. After all, it is easy to crank it by hand. It only takes one turn. Just turn around in circles, if you pedal, you can only go up or down, and there is a process of rebounding, she really has no idea.

And when she was thinking about things like an old monk, Chen Jiangsheng often came over to provoke her, and was always scolded by her to go back. After doing this a few times, Chen Jiangsheng didn't dare to come, and sat there working with Xiaohe, She also had no way to calm down, because she wanted to watch Xia Zhi wholeheartedly.

When the few of them went to dry the rice, Xia Zhi couldn’t sit still. He crawled around on the drying ground, crawled far away if he didn’t pay attention, cried when he was pricked by the rice, and cried when the ants crawled into his hand. Guyu It was funny, angry and distressed to see him like that, and I wished I could tie him with a rope, but the shaker was useless at all, and he often grabbed the edge board to stand up, everyone I was afraid that he would roll down if he didn't pay attention.Let's put it on the ground. If he doesn't pay attention, he doesn't know where he crawled to, or he looks up at the sky, drooling while laughing, and crying when something goes wrong.

The late rice harvest was very smooth, and the three families of Gu Yu had harvested the rice in a short time. After drying, they picked a windy field to raise the field, and used the corn to make chicken coops, and the good millet was put into sacks.And Li He's heard that the harvest has been completed.

The landowner came twice, saying that it was a threshing machine and he wanted to rent another one, but Li Dequan and the others were busy harvesting, and there was no time to do it for a while. He just said that he would wait for Li He's to get it soon Yes, it's not bad for a day and a half.

Who knew that when Gu Yu's family, Dalin's family, and Chen Jiangsheng's family were all harvested, they didn't see the threshing machine over there, so they had to carry this machine over to the landlord's family, and the adults had to be busy again. I wanted to tie up the straw in the field so that I could stand it in the field and dry it easily, so I didn't ask.

When Gu Yu and the others were at the drying yard that day, Zhu Ziniang who passed by said that Aunt Qiong and Chen's family also used the thresher.

Gu Yu was annoyed at the time, and it wasn't that they used the threshing machine at home privately, but since they had already agreed to use it for them, after using it, they quickly took it and took the opportunity to make more money, anyway. The busy farming season lasted only ten days, and they couldn't afford to delay it at this time. How could they know that they were good at such a thing, and they didn't even say hello, so they just gave it to others and just used it.

Xu Qinshi also shook his head, "This job is not authentic. I heard that I took money, but I didn't take it seriously. It's just that it's from the villagers after all. I'm just afraid that you will think too much. Let's forget about it. Next time Let's talk again. I'm not worried about Gu Yu, she's annoyed about something, and she'll be fine after she's annoyed, but Xiaoman is afraid that you'll come to the door with a stick without saying a word. It was their fault before, but this time If ours is too much, it will not be justified, do you hear me?"

Xiaoman smiled shyly, "Look at grandma treating me like a tigress."

"I'm putting my ugly words in front of me. Seeing that you can't act like that, you live in a Zhuangzi. Everyone's eyes are shining."

As I saw, the golden rice fields in the fields were cut piece by piece, and the remaining stubble was exposed. In some fields, straw stacks had been piled up, and more and more, until there were not many golden rice fields left in the fields. , the entire field suddenly became vast, and you could see far away at a glance.

An Jinxuan and Jing Zhe also hired someone to transport the threshing machine home, and put two long ones in the backyard.

The silver was also earned back, after Jing Zhe had removed all kinds of expenses, he did the calculation again, then put the remaining silver on the table and counted it, it turned out to be as much as 27 taels, this number made everyone eat a lot shock.
