Nongmen Blessed Wife: The elder sister-in-law has space for farming

Chapter 69 Pack a Lunch

Yin Ziying pursed her lips and smiled slightly, this fat aunt was very easy to get along with, no matter her words or her eyes showed kindness, she didn't seem like the kind of caring person.

But speaking, in this village, the people she met so far are really easy to get along with, the only one that makes her feel a little displeased is the little white flower Lu Xiuyu last time.

Several people were chatting and laughing, and not long after, all the people that the eldest aunt Yu Shi helped her invite yesterday all came.

There are five men and five women in total, and the women are Aunt Fat, Mrs. Su, Aunt Zhou, Aunt An and Second Aunt An.

The men are An Dashan, An Dashu, Wang Chunsheng, Wang Yueshan, and Liu Dahe.

Among them, several people came to sell sweet potatoes yesterday, and some people Liu Yin Ziying had never seen before.

For example, An Dashan and An Dashu, these two people sound like brothers, and they look very similar.

And they are husband and wife with Aunt An and Second Aunt An. Although Yin Ziying hadn't seen many of them before, it was obvious now.

Moreover, An Dashan and An Dashu are dressed worse than the others, presumably because their family conditions are not that good.

Seeing that everyone has arrived, Yu said with a smile, "I invited all of you back today, and we all have to work today, you know!"

The woman named Su Niangzi immediately said with a hearty smile:

"Sister-in-law Gu, just say what you want to say! We are all here to work, how can we not know if this matter will be successful? Of course we are all here to work, we can do all kinds of hard work, so you better say it quickly Bar!"

Aunt Zhou on the side also smiled and said:

"Yes, sister-in-law Gu, just tell me what you want to do. We haven't done any work before. No matter how hard it is, how hard can it be to work in the fields? We can all go to the fields."

Seeing this, Mrs. Yu smiled and said, "You all saw the piles of sweet potatoes in the yard when you came in, didn't you? Today, everyone picks up these sweet potatoes and washes them by the river at the head of the village. We'll talk about the rest later."

Uncle Gu added on the sidelines: "We have to go downstream or we won't be able to wash our clothes in a while."

On this day, Yin Ziying followed the women to wash the sweet potatoes. After all the sweet potatoes were washed by the river, they were collected in the village under the big banyan tree and washed again with well water.

Next, everyone started shredding the sweet potatoes again. While the sweet potatoes were being shredded, the men first took the shredded sweet potatoes to the stone mill in the village to grind them into pulp first.

After a whole day, all the sweet potatoes in the old Gu's house have been washed, and only about one-fifth of them have been shredded.

That's all. It was already dark when we finished. This is because everyone is from the village, so I thought it was close to home anyway, so I did more.

Uncle Gu and Shi Yu helped Yin Ziying and the others put the sweet potatoes on the gauze and hang them up before going home.

Yin Ziying didn't stop the two of them, she knew that this matter would not work out, Uncle Gu and the Yu family would not have dinner at her house, not to mention that Uncle Gu was worried that she would bring up the matter of dividing the money again. Naturally, she would not stay at her house.

Yin Ziying was not in a hurry, anyway, this matter would be done in the end, so she was not in a hurry.

Three days passed in a row. On this day, Yin Ziying and Uncle Gu and others in the yard mashed the dried sweet potato starch that they got out on the first day, and then followed a few people to add water to adjust the proportion.

Cuixianlou ordered her a total of 500 catties of sweet potato starch, 500 catties of sweet potato vermicelli and 500 catties of sweet potato vermicelli. The sweet potato starch itself now weighs [-] catties.

In addition, the sweet potato vermicelli and the sweet potato vermicelli are processed after the starch is formed and need to be mashed, added water and then steamed again. Therefore, the sweet potato vermicelli and the sweet potato vermicelli should naturally be made first. On the contrary, the sweet potato starch with the least operation steps is the last Don't worry about it.

After crushing all the sweet potato flour, Uncle Gu stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "That's fine, Ziying! Then I'll go to town now!"

Yin Ziying nodded with a smile: "Uncle, come back after buying a few catties of meat. The uncles and aunts are working very hard these days. We always have to pack a lunch."

Uncle Gu's family is going to town today, not for other things, but to help her.

Previously, she only bought 500 catties of sweet potatoes, and with the 6250 catties of sweet potatoes purchased in the village, she was still short of 750 catties of sweet potatoes.

In the past three days, Uncle Gu has been working with them, but he has never had time to go to the town to buy.Since she wanted to do these things at home, she simply entrusted Uncle Gu to do them.

Uncle Gu was taken aback: "Ziying, do you want to provide lunch for these uncles and aunts?"

Speaking of hiring people to work, it's not uncommon to include a meal once in a while. Generally speaking, there is such a process.

It's just that Yin Ziying's work is not finished now, even according to Yin Ziying's words, it's not half done yet, why is it necessary to buy a few catties of meat at this moment?

Besides, it would cost a lot of money to convert a few catties of meat!

You must know that he invited ten people in total, and these ten people plus their own people can eat a meal with a few catties of meat, but it will cost a lot of money!

Generally speaking, there are people in the village who invite people to work and have to provide meals at the end, but generally speaking, the time for providing meals is to invite people to have dinner or lunch when the work is completed on the last day.

There must be meat in that meal, which can be regarded as a reward for everyone.If they have to pack it before half of it is done, it would be inappropriate not to wrap it up when it's done!

Yin Ziying nodded with a smile: "That's right, uncle, I'm going to make some vegetable and meat buns. I've worked hard for you all these days."

Seeing what Uncle Gu wanted to say, she added with a smile:
"We have now completed the first stage of work. It is okay to reward everyone. When the time is over, let's buy a few catties of meat and reward again. Uncle, what do you think of this?"

Uncle Gu wanted to say something at first, but he nodded when he thought that Yin Ziying's family is considered to have some money after all, and such meat would not cost much money.

"That's fine, then I'll go buy a few catties of meat and come back."

What he thought in his heart was that if Yin Ziying really did this, she would be able to leave a good reputation among these people, and the neighbors in the neighborhood would have a better impression of her nephew and daughter-in-law in the future. of.

When Uncle Gu went out, Yu Shi, who followed Gu Yunjie and others to carry water, said to Yin Ziying with a smile, "Why, Ziying, your uncle really convinced you?"

Yin Ziying smiled and said: "Auntie, I told you a long time ago that this matter is not a big deal, so there is nothing wrong with it!"
