People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 12 012: Expanding Production

Cui Lushi took advantage of the afternoon to work on a wave of rice balls at home alone.There was no one to help, and the technique of making rice balls was unfamiliar, so I only caught up with making more than 20 rice balls.Then hurried to the field ridge in the morning.

Rice balls have already made a name for themselves here.

There were more people in the afternoon than in the morning, and within a short time, all the rice balls in hand were sold out.Another more than 70 yuan was received.

She went home and made dinner, but she waited and waited, but she didn't wait for her son and daughter-in-law to come back.The sun has set to the bottom, and there is still no one on the road.

"Where did you go?" At the head of Liujiazhuang, she tiptoed to the direction of Yangzhou City, and looked a few times, but there were shadows like black holes, and there was no one.The sadness on his face washed away the joy of earning money in the afternoon.

"Sir, if something happens to Bo Yan, I won't be able to live anymore!" When she was selling rice balls on the ridge of the field, she heard the aunties telling a story:
Three or five years ago, there was a bandit gang near Liujiazhuang, which specialized in robbing the rich and giving to the poor. If any family could no longer survive, they only needed to tie a red cloth strip on the courtyard door, and food would be delivered to the door the next day. And one person from this family, regardless of gender, must join this group of robbers.

"Cui Boyan, can you do it? Why are you breathing so hard?"

"Hmph, I'm a handsome seven-foot man, how can I not be as good as a woman like you!" Cui Boyan refused to admit defeat, and immediately retorted.He was very dissatisfied with Cai Xiaoniang's suspicion of him. How could he be inferior to a woman in terms of physical strength as a man?

At the same time, she couldn't help but slander, after all, she was a shrew, and in terms of physical strength, she was only a little worse than him.

"Third brother, if you can't do it, you have to admit that you are not as strong as my sister-in-law. He is still a seven-foot man. I think he is at most six feet." Cui Dongping, who was sitting in the car, was a witness. Just now, because Cui Boyan was not strong enough, the flat car went to Leaning on one side, she almost fell into the ditch.

"Get down and run with the car!" If it wasn't for rushing home, Cui Boyan would have had a fight with Xiao Dongping for a while.

When Cui Lushi heard the noise, she was extremely worried, and said, "Why did you come back after making such a fuss!"

"It's all the third brother's fault. He said he was going to buy things, but he actually went to play. I bought these rice noodles with my sister-in-law!" Xiao Dongping immediately praised him, and told all the things he saw in the city in the afternoon.

"I was contacting my classmates..."

"Go home and eat first!"

"Look at what this is?" Cui Boyan took out three flax cakes from his bosom like Xuanbao, and ran all the way, the cakes were still cold...

"Eh-" Cui Dongping's voice was very long, and he was obviously disgusted to the extreme. "I remember the last time Third Brother took a bath, it was two months ago!"

It's a pity that after Xiao Dongping finished saying this, the steaming flax cakes that were originally fragrant immediately lost their fragrance.

Silent all night.

The next day, Tianma was polished, Cui Lushi and Cai Xiaolan hurriedly left their room and bumped into each other in front of the main room.

"Ouch!" Cui Lu's body was a bit bigger than Cai Xiaolan's. With this collision, Cai Xiaolan was thrown to the side and let out a cry of pain, which was half surprised and half painful.

"What's wrong?" Cui Boyan who was sleeping in the main room was also woken up.

"Xiao Lan, are you alright?"

"fine!"

"Oh, Xiaolan, you are too thin!" This was the first time that Cui Lu said it was not good to pick Xiaolan to her face.

"Uh—I'll eat more..."

Aesthetics is really strange. Some people work hard to maintain a thin figure; while some people keep gaining weight and think fatness is beautiful.

Cai Xiaolan and Cui Lu both got up early and worked hard, planning to have a big fight today.The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law lifted the silver-plated copper pot together and put a full pot of brown rice into it.And next to it, there was a large basin of water.

The thin slices of fried noodles yesterday were not enough, so Cai Xiaolan, who was free, simply set up a fire rack in the yard, put another pot directly outside and started tossing.Anyway, in this era, no one will say that it pollutes the environment.

"Does what you said yesterday afternoon count?" Cui Boyan walked lightly, like a ghost, suddenly appeared behind Cai Xiaolan.

The hand that dug the oil trembled, and sprinkled half a spoonful.

"You are so big, how can you walk without making any sound?" Cai Xiaolan was so angry that if the oil was spread a little more, it would be on her feet.

"Just tell me, let's count!"

"Calculate!"

"Yesterday I recited "Xue Er", and today I recite "For Politics", as long as I finish it, I will get 50 yuan!" Cai Xiaolan covered her mouth and smiled. Dead things didn't look down on the 50 yuan at the time, and now they wake up so early again, " I have to write an essay in the afternoon, don't forget!"

"Okay, prepare 50 yuan, today I have to stand up and earn the money!"

The family is full of fighting spirit, working hard, reading books, and there is no lazy person.

This busy work, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been busy for an hour and a half.Only then did some basic things be prepared.

"Auntie, I'm going to find some children to help!" Cai Xiaolan planned to call for help, of course it wasn't for nothing, as she was busy for a long time, so she had to give some money anyway.

Cai Xiaolan walked to the field ridge, and sure enough, some of the children in the village were here.If you want to raise a lazy child, then don't call the child when the parents are working.If you want to raise a hard-working baby, try to have the same in and out.

Most of the children on the ridge are the latter.

"Child, come here!" Cai Xiaolan took out a small rice ball that had been wrapped in advance from the basket she was carrying, "Sister, there is something to eat here!"

Apparently, the village's anti-trafficking awareness was not good enough. As soon as the children saw that Cai Xiaolan had food in her hand, they all ran to her.

"I also want!"

"I want!"

……

"One of you, you can't eat for free, and you have to help your sister with work after eating!" This is what Cai Xiaolan came up with.

What should I do if there is no sales after expanding production?Naturally, we have to break into the customers and let the children sell them.

"Sister, are you telling the truth? For every three rice balls we sell for you, you will give us one money?" An older child stood at the front.

"Yes!"

"Done!"

Encouraged by their friends, the children swarmed away like frightened birds, and ran home to get their baskets.

When Cai Xiaolan arrived home, she pulled up the children who came with her and trained them again, "Children, you must work hard. My sister will have more work in the future, and I will distribute it to everyone. There will be more opportunities to earn money." There are a lot! If you do a good job, my sister will ask the brother who endorsed the book to teach everyone how to read!"

Cui Boyan, who was surrounded by Cai Xiaolan's children and was studying in the main room, took a look, and his eyes suddenly brightened a lot.

"Is it true what you said about teaching us how to read?"

"of course!"

"Pull the hook and hang yourself, and you can't change it for 100 years!"

I learned the prices of eggs and rice balls, and learned some simple calculation methods.The children, in twos and threes, carried small baskets and walked away obediently.Even a naughty child who usually jumps every step of the way is as well-behaved as a girl.I was afraid that the rice balls in the basket would be knocked outside.

"Xiao Lan, is this really possible?" Cui Lu's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

"Don't worry!" To be honest, Cai Xiaolan was unsure. Most children are innocent by nature, but she has also seen naughty people who are as big as a kid.

"How about we go to the field ridge and take a look!"

Except for Cui Boyan, every member of the Cui family dispersed to various fields in Liujiazhuang.

The child carrying the small basket became a beautiful sight.The younger one is responsible for running around and picking up customers; the older one is responsible for settling accounts and carrying baskets.One by one, the white rice balls were passed from the basket to each big hand, and 3 or 4 pieces were put into the small purse.

Everyone is completing their tasks seriously.

And simple farmers obviously don't care about such small gains and losses with children.There will be no intrigue in dealing with children.Some families have a large number of people, and when they see their own children coming to sell, they immediately buy up all the rice balls in the small basket.

"Not bad, let's go home and prepare sweet rice balls!" Cai Xiaolan tilted her head and smiled at Cui Lushi.
