Chapter 268 Summer
It was already late when I got home.
The people at home still stayed up all night waiting for them to come back. A bowl of hot water and a few words of concern made Xu Wenyan understand that this was the so-called family.
Xiaohu told him about his experience of working with buffaloes yesterday.
Buffaloes are very smart. Ruhua and her husband who married into the family like to stand on the buffalo's horns and plow one acre of land in a day, which is much faster than manual labor.
The hardest part was the children who had to cut grass. There were many livestock in the family, and the amount of grass consumed every day was too much.
There is also the matter of the factory. We are still making potato flour. Judging from the current speed, all the potatoes in the factory can be turned into flour in about half a month.
Xiaohu and Zhou Jianye and others went to the pond to make more jars so that the potato flour could be precipitated faster.
After dealing with the poppy issue, Xu Wenyan will be busy in the future.
Just as I was about to go to bed, Luo Sanyuan walked in: "Xu Wenyan, you don't have any medicine to reduce the swelling. Xiaoman sprained her leg."
"Wait a moment." Xu Wenyan took out a small jar and gave it to Luo Sanyuan: "Apply it once a day."
"Okay, thanks."
After going out, he carefully carried Xiaoman upstairs, took off Xiaoman's inner socks and started applying medicine.
"It's full. Tell me if it hurts."
"Ah."
Luo Sanyuan tried to make his movements as gentle as possible, hoping this would relieve Xiaoman's pain.
After applying the medicine, I boiled some hot water and helped Xiaoman remove her makeup.
When it was time to go to bed, he still hugged Xiaoman through the quilt, but this time, his heart beat much faster.
"Man, if you feel uncomfortable just tell me, if you want to pee at night just call me, if you are thirsty or hungry just call me, don't be polite with your brother, hehe."
"I know, go to sleep."
After waking up, Luo Sanyuan carried Xiaoman on his back to wash and go to eat. Today he had to help Xiaohu plow the fields, thinking that Xu Wenyan was just playing a joke on it yesterday.
I didn't expect it was real.
However, if I don't do these jobs myself, Xiaoman will definitely have to do them later.
Didn’t he follow Xiaohu to drive the cows out after dinner?
Xu Wenyan had even more things to do today: "Hua, boil the medicine for your uncle Man. Your uncle and I are going out."
"Good."
The two first came to the factory, at which time Chen Xingjie was already registering the number of people.
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xu, you are back."
The workers were very happy. They hadn't seen Xu Wenyan for days and didn't know how long they could continue working in this job. They were also feeling a bit anxious. After all, they could earn fifteen cents a day here.
This is 650 coins a month! When can they earn so much money a month?
Now everyone hopes that Xu Wenyan can continue to recruit workers. The process and agreement for making potato flour have been signed. Everyone is working for a few hundred coins a month.
No matter how gossipy one is, he or she will keep the content of his or her work secret.
After all, what the village chief said was serious.
"Brother Xingjie." Xu Wenyan walked up to Chen Xingjie. He hadn't seen him for a few days.
"Wen Yan, there are 35 people in the factory now. I have asked them to sign the agreement you mentioned, and they have been working for two days now."
Xu Wenyan nodded and said, "Everyone, I can still do this job for at least half a month. During this period, please work with peace of mind. I promised to pay you all your wages at the beginning of next month."
It's more than 300 Wen in half a month, and the work in the factory is not too strenuous, even women can do it.
We are all the poorest people in the village, and if we work one more day, we can have a few more meals.
After the crowd dispersed, Xu Wenyan left Xingjie and said, "Brother Xingjie, Sister Dongmei will give birth soon, right?"
"Well, the midwife you hired has already stayed at our house. I may not be able to help you these days." Chen Xingjie said apologetically.
Xu Wenyan shook his head; "It's okay, I'm just troubling you. Xiaoman is here, you have to pay attention to Sister Dongmei at home. If there is no money at home, tell me."
"Okay, I won't get the money for renting out the land until autumn, and I will definitely pay you back then." Chen Xingjie also knew that the expenses would be high in the coming days, and he would definitely have to borrow money from Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan really took advantage of Wang Dongmei's sister. Since coming to the village, Wang Dongmei has helped him a lot when he encountered troubles.
Patting Chen Xingjie on the shoulder, Xu Wenyan took the booklet from his hand. After he left, he began to read the booklet, which recorded the production in the past few days and some troubles encountered.
But most of the problems have been solved, either the sedimentation time is not enough, or too much potato flour is consumed.
If the two of them are really a good match, Wang Dongmei is bold and has a generous personality.
Chen Xingjie is honest and careful. Only after Wang Dongmei is completely liberated will these villagers know how powerful this village lady is.
"Brother Chen, please bring some potato flour. We will go to the county later."
Chen Sanlin walked to Xu Wenyan and looked at the booklet in his hand, but he didn't understand a single word.
Afterwards, Xu Wenyan went home and brought back a small basket of walnuts. These were picked from the pond. They were quite big, but the skin was a little thick. The kernels were delicious.
Then I brought some red melon seeds, black fungus and shiitake mushrooms.
According to the time, Mrs. Wen is about to give birth. These things are good for the fetus, and Wang Dongmei has already sent them.
For this big customer, Xu Wenyan still has to be more considerate.
After packing up, I set off with Chen Sanlin.
Now Xiaohong knows how to go even if she doesn't need to be driven.
"Why don't you wear the new clothes I bought for you?" Xu Wenyan looked at Chen Sanlin who was still wearing his old clothes.
"hot."
Feeling the heat wave in the air, Xu Wenyan felt that the air suddenly became hot. This is the weather in the south, it is extremely hot in summer.
There is no heating at home in winter, and the temperature is almost the same as outside.
The ancients really suffered.
"Shall I buy you a vest?" Xu Wenyan also wanted one immediately. Sitting in the car felt like being in a sauna.
Xiaohong also stopped by the roadside to drink some water from time to time.
It seemed like the previous heavy rain was enough, and there was no water at all for more than half a month.
Even in such a hot day, there are still people coming to eat hot ramen. They must be true fans.
The store must prepare some food to relieve the heat. Now that we have the capital, there is still room for error even if the effect is not good.
The first thing Xu Wenyan thought of was the mint in the yard. Making herbal tea with mint is low-cost and effective.
Another drink is mung bean soup, which is also good for relieving heat.
After entering the county town, Xu Wenyan did not go to Anqing Pavilion first. He first bought a large bag of mung beans. Mung beans were ten cents per pound, and mixed coarse grains would be cheaper.
Such a big bag weighed twenty pounds and cost two hundred coins.
Not long after leaving the store, Xu Wenyan saw an old man selling new things.
