Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 204 The Acquisition is Over
It is not difficult to make vermicelli after mastering the tricks.But within a day or two, Grandpa Liu and the others have already started to do it quickly and well.

With the addition of three strong laborers, the speed of making vermicelli is more than double that of before.Li Mingyue reckoned that at this speed, all the sweet potatoes received should be able to be made into vermicelli by mid-November.

Almost [-] catties of vermicelli, the original cellar at home must not be able to hold it.

Li Mingyue discussed with Li Shou and invited workers to dig a bigger and more spacious cellar on the west side of the house.In the future, there will be two cellars at home, one for vermicelli and one for sausages, which is just right.

By mid-October, almost no one came to Li's house to sell sweet potatoes, and almost all the sweet potatoes in the nearby villages were collected by them.

Li Mingyue used the account book to make statistics, and after so much trouble, she finally received 710 catties of sweet potatoes, which was almost [-] catties less than expected... But there was no way around it.

Li Shuanzi and Zhou Zhuang came to help for a total of eight days, and they did all the hard work. Li Mingyue paid them 240 Wen per day based on their wages of [-] Wen per day.At first, the two shirked and refused to accept it, but in the end it was Li Mingzhi who came out and persuaded them to accept it.

Seeing the two and a half young men walking away with a large bunch of copper coins, Wang's eyes on the side were hot, and she couldn't help but said bitterly: "Yue girl, you are so generous, what are you doing for so much wages! Really! If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is.

A coolie in the town only costs [-] Wen a day, and he works from morning to night without food.We still provide them with two meals, and the two boys can eat, so the food money should be deducted. "

Wang's full of complaints, chattered in Li Mingyue's ears.

Li Mingyue closed the account book with some headaches, stepped forward and took Wang's arm, and coaxed her with good words: "Auntie, I heard from my mother that it is best to count your female celebrities at home. Let's go to the county seat tomorrow, to cloth Let’s buy some more cloth and come back to make some new clothes for everyone to wear. I remember that cousin Wenhui loves pink the most, so I’ll pick one for her when the time comes.”

No matter which era women like to dress up and love beauty, Wang's is no exception.The life of the Liu family has always been tight, and it is common for them not to make new clothes for a few years.At this time, when she heard that she was going to make new clothes for herself, Wang's face was still tense, and she was as happy as a flower.

"Oh...how can I be so embarrassing, it's not easy for you to earn some money...the cloth shop in the county town is not cheap, the cloth shop in Qinghe Town will do."

Mrs. Wang has such a temperament, straightforward, greedy for petty gains, but not evil.

Li Mingyue was also infected by her smile, she shook her head and laughed and said, "Auntie, the cloth shop in the county has more colors and looks better, I'm sure you will like it."

The next day, Li Mingyue drove the carriage and brought Liu Shi, Wang Shi, and Li Minglan, four women, to the county town for a big purchase.

Send Liu and others to the door of the cloth shop, and give Liu five taels of silver, and let them carry it by themselves.Li Mingyue went to visit the shopkeepers of several commercial firms. It has been more than half a month since the last contract was signed, and I don't know how their vermicelli are selling.

The first person to visit was naturally Shopkeeper Chen from Liuchen Goods.

Among the many commercial firms in Yunxi County, Liuchen Merchant was the first to sell vermicelli.In the first few days, no one cared about the vermicelli made from the sweet potato. Later, shopkeeper Chen used the name of Fu Sheng Ji, saying that the vermicelli was made by a workshop like the sausage sold last year, which attracted some people who had bought sausage. Old customers.

Gradually, the sales of vermicelli also went up. The [-] catties of vermicelli ordered by Liuchen Store at that time are now less than [-] catties left.
