Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 85 Seizing the Opportunity to Sell Flails

Many people who were harvesting in the field became interested when they heard that Li Dequan had made a thing that could eat millet.

When I arrived at Li Dequan's paddy field, I saw a few people still harvesting, and there seemed to be no difference. The remaining three men were surrounded by a large wooden frame. It looks a bit like a gauze hat, and it is stacking the cut fields around the wooden frame.

Someone is already shouting, "This is the thing that eats millet? It looks so stupid."

There are also those who are more kind, "You are also here, Li Chang, why don't you persuade Brother Dequan, this time I cut too much, if there is bad weather, it will become sprouts."

Of course, there are also those who are narrow-minded, "Look at the hat they wear, just like women wear, tsk tsk."

While talking, Chen Yongyu had already shaken the handle, and the drum was spinning fast. Li Dequan and Jingzhe were standing in the field, holding small bundles of field grains on top, and what was thrown out after a while was straw without grains. After a while, Li Dequan took Chen Yongyu's place to shake it, and quickly knocked out the grains in the field beside him.The spectators around were also amazed. Those who got closer were hit by the flying rice grains, and finally understood the purpose of the strange hats they wore.

After seeing and seeing, some curious people went to shake it in person, and some were thinking about their rice fields and hurried back.

Xu Qinshi bowed his waist to harvest there, and sat down on the ridge of the field to rest after busy with Jiangshi and Wangshi, watching those people disperse.

Xu Qinshi said: "Hey, if it goes on like this, I think that these three acres of land are not enough for us to work for two or three days. Jiang Sheng's side is also very small. It's the first time I've seen this thing. We will farm in the future." If people can use it, I don’t know how easy it will be.”

On the side of the drying yard, with the continuous picking of rice, there is already a big flat, the sun is scorching in the sky, Gu Yu, Chen Jiangsheng, and Xiao He are not idle, flipping it from time to time, and those grains The leaves were also curled up in the sun, and after they cleaned them carefully, only the golden rice grains were left.

Gu Yu looked at the entire piece of golden yellow, and was very happy, "Sister, these are all ours! Look, you don't need to buy grain in the future. This is enough for us to eat for a long time. There is also late rice, and there are fields to grow." How nice."

After she finished speaking, she saw Xiao He pursing her lips and not speaking. Gu Yu knew her difficulties. She thought about the two paddy fields in her family, and she got so much before finishing this one. After three or four months, there will be late rice again. , the family’s food for three or four months should be enough, even if it’s not enough, it’s not much worse, so I went over to Xiaohe proudly and said: "Xiaohe, don’t worry, your family will be better off, wait for the rice to dry Yes, I will lend you two bags, you can eat for a while, and you will return them to me after you harvest the late rice."

Xiao He's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again, "I don't know if Mother is right, and your family doesn't know if there is enough to eat, so I'll discuss it with Uncle Li first when I go back."

Xiaoman hurt her finger, and she was sitting in the shed embroidering things, and heard Xiaohe was worried about this, "Don't worry, Xiaohe, Gu Yu is the head of our family, she said she borrowed it." In fact, Xiaoman also thought of something, even if the family is not enough Food, I’m afraid it’s not too much difference, besides, the Dalin family is so poor, they need it more than the family, but when the family is not enough, I can secretly buy some, at least my family can have spare money, unlike Aunt Wen’s side , now relying on Dalin's wages to survive, without work, there is no food to eat.

After half an hour, the laid rice had spread a thick layer on the drying ground, and the adults all rested.

Xu Qinshi sat there with a smile, and told Wang to go back quickly to nurse the child again, and Wang didn't refuse, and went back first.

Jing Zhe told Li Dequan that it would be best to build a small wooden shed. He had already seen that the grains flew towards the outside. Fly out, when the time comes, I will feel distressed.

Li Dequan also had the same idea, thinking about how to improve the thresher.

After listening to this, Chen Yongyu made unified arrangements, "I see this way, you children can also rest for a while, and let Jiang Shengniang stay here, and we will go back to make the wooden shed in Dequan, but there is no need to be in a hurry. Anyway, we don’t have much land, so let’s take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.”

Xu Qinshi was telling Gu Yu and the others about ancient times, about poor scholars and young ladies from rich families, Gu Yu and Xiaohe refused to go back, it was very lively.Aunt Wen was also a little dazed looking at the ping of rice, and she refused to go back.

Li Dequan looked at them, and then thought about Chen Yongyu's words, "How can I make money?"

"Tomorrow we will stop threshing and finish the threshing machine. Anyway, the grain will not be fully exposed for a day. If we thresh too much at one time, it will be bad if it rains when we come back. I still have a piece of cowhide at home, which is split into pieces. Leather rope, when the time comes, you can make more flails, Jingzhe Jiangsheng and I can help you, and the rest of the mother and Gu Yu Xiaoman will take care of cooking and drying the rice."

"Flail? Even if it's ready in one day, how can it be sold?"

"It's not easy. When we put it in front of Brother He's shop, someone will always be able to see it."

Just do what you say, while Gu Yu and the others are here, Li Dequan, Jing Zhe, and Chen Yongyu return home, and Wang's cooks after nursing the children, so they don't go out anymore.

Gu Yu lay on Xu Qinshi's lap, listening to her tell those stories, Xiaohe and Xiaoman listened with great interest, Gu Yu guessed some endings, it was nothing more than a matter where the lady gave the money to the scholar and won the first prize and everyone was happy, It's just that she was a little pessimistic in her heart, how can there be so many happy things, and how can a poor scholar meet a rich lady in a deep boudoir so easily, and besides, every lady has such a kind girl by her side, but she also understands Well, the life of this farmer's family is too hard, they need some of these happy endings to make themselves feel better.

A group of people were bustling, and the sun had already set, and it was time to harvest the millet.

There are many people and strength, and a ping of rice is nothing, and it was quickly gathered into a pile and covered with straw. Chen Yongyu drove the bullock cart to come, and there was the big wooden frame that Li Dequan helped him build inside, and so on. Let the people put the rice in and drag them back to their hometown.

Chen Jiangsheng really refused to leave. He stepped on the drying field with bare feet. It was very warm and comfortable. The sunset glow in the sky was very beautiful. God is the best painter.

After finally returning home, Gu Yu first ran to the backyard to have a look, and there were already a lot of knotted wooden sticks, Jing Zhe was still cutting the cowhide, Li Dequan was beating boards, surrounded by the threshing machine that was brought back Make a wooden shed.

She was a little surprised, "Brother, what are you doing these for?"

"Uncle Chen said to make more flails and sell them in front of my uncle's shop."

Gu Yu suddenly realized that Chen Yongyu was thoughtful. In this way, it is tantamount to a quick investment, which can not only benefit the neighbors, but also make a small profit. This flail is easier than holding it and smashing it. People don't have to squat Kneeling, it would be nice to just stand straight and do your best, but she still has a question, it's weird to think about buying flails in front of this restaurant.

"Brother, how do you sell these things in front of the restaurant, besides, not many people will go to the market now that the harvest is over."

"I thought so too, how can I sell it just by keeping it at home."

Just as he was talking, Mrs. Wang came to ask everyone to eat.

The meal was placed in the yard, and the lively three families mingled together.Du Dalin only had lunch as a part-time worker, so he also came over at this time.

While eating, several families have already come to the door. At first, Gu Yu thought that he was here to borrow a thresher, thinking that his own could be the only one. Besides, it is currently being improved, so it is not easy to borrow it out. He needs to make a new one. It takes a lot of effort, and everyone can't afford to delay.

I didn't know it wasn't so, after hearing the voice, I realized that I came to borrow or buy a flail, "Dequan, I was on the drying ground today, and I saw that thing made by Dejiang, it was light and fast, and we didn't Dare to conspire to say that the thing is not good, thinking if I can take the time to make one for us, I am willing to pay for it.”

It turned out that it was a business visit. Chen Yongyu knew that Dequan was thin-skinned, and was afraid that the folks in the village would not show his face, so he simply stood up first, "Da Zhu Niang, you also know that now is a busy time, and we still have to harvest. That’s not to say, this flail is a new thing, it needs wood and cowhide, so it’s strong. I thought I’d ask Quanna to buy it in the town, and it’s a must for fifty yuan a piece. In a few years, a day's labor of an adult is worth at least a dozen yuan, so I don't know how much effort I have saved."

Dazhu Niang thought that it was the price of two wooden barrels, which was not expensive, and besides, she was busy harvesting now, maybe she was late and couldn't buy it even if she wanted to spend money, so she quickly agreed.

Li Dequan said with a smile at this time: "Ms. Dazhu, we are all fellow villagers, and yours is worth forty coins. I will bring you the freshly made ones."

I don't know if Dazhu Niang went back to promote it or what, many people came to the door, and the flails Li Dequan and Chen Yongyu made in the afternoon were all sold out, and there were even reservations.

On the second day, the simple wooden shed was finished, and the women went out to dry the millet, leaving Xu Qinshi and Xiaoman to watch over them, and helping with the rest. After such a busy day, it didn't feel too hard. Those who met the needs, some couldn't wait to go home and cut the skins themselves, anxiously asked Li Dequan to help, and Gu Yu took care of collecting the money, a flail of forty copper coins, put it away in the jar.

They were busy until the evening, and those people dispersed, some were reluctant to buy, some were jointly used by several families, and the remaining few flails were placed in the main room.With a big wave of his hand, Li Dequan made everyone suffer for a day and made a lot of money. He would go to the fields to thresh grain for half a day tomorrow, and then he would go to the town to buy wine and meat for everyone to eat, and the rest of the flails would be sold.

Gu Yu thought of an idea, "Father, don't put it in my uncle's shop, lest I bother them, and besides, it doesn't look good selling it in front of the restaurant, so I'll send it to our grocery store that sells paper-cutting. I think his house has everything, maybe they can sell it." go."

After finishing his work and taking a shower, Gu Yu and Xiao Man stayed in the room and counted the copper coins received today. Say, 26 flails were sold.Now Gu Yu is not calm anymore, "Sister, so we have earned a tael of silver a day!"
