pastoral little wife

Chapter 152 Interrogation (4)
Not long after Yun Duo was in the village, Nie Dalang didn't go out often, and he didn't know much about any family or people in the village, so he recruited them or not, and they were not dignified in the village now, so it was hard to say, so he asked Nie Lizheng to come forward to help.

After waiting for a while, Nie Lizheng came over, and Grandma Yang also got up to cook and opened the door.

Nie Li ordered a few daughters-in-law to come into the house to clean, and then asked someone to move a table over, and he had to remember which house recruited whom to do the work.

The family members had already discussed who would do the work last night. Naturally, they would send the family to do the work quickly. Otherwise, not only the wages would be lost, but the dividends would also be lost.

Baishi Village has a large population, but there are only a few dozen households, because most of them have no separate families, so this person is easy to choose.

Nie Li has been living in the village for decades, so he knows not only everything about a family's behavior, but also can judge the same.First of all, thirty people were selected.

Those who were not selected were disappointed and anxious.

Yun Duo raised his voice to persuade, "Now the place is small, and it is too cold to build a workshop. The [-] people selected do not work every day, they have to be rotated. When the spring opens next year, the workshop will be built. At that time, there will be more people who want it, and it’s really busy, it’s not enough for everyone in our village to get started! So don’t worry, everyone!”

Nie Lizheng also came out to speak, "If someone seeks trouble, he will lose his family's share in the workshop in the future!"

As soon as these words came out, those who were not selected dared not say a word. They only reassured that they would be recruited after the New Year, and that they would be recruited if they sold too much starch, so they were relieved.

All the selected people are full of energy and beaming, ready to fight hard.

Yun Duo took the silver to Nie Sanlang and told him to drive the ox cart of Nie Lizheng's family and buy back the millstones, barrels, vats and urns.Mrs. Nie refused to buy mats for drying, "Who doesn't have mats for drying grain, just borrow them and use them."

Everyone also nodded, saying that they can use their mats casually.

I was going to write a list, but I was afraid I would forget it.But no one could read and write, but they all had a good memory, so they rushed to Qingyang Town with an ox cart.

Yun Duo watched as the daughters-in-law and sons vacated the three rooms of Grandma Yang's house, cleaned them up, and tidied up Grandma Yang's yard, making starch and drying it.

Before noon, Nie Sanlang came back with a man and a cart full of things.

A few people pressing the millstones rushed over, took down the basins and buckets and put them aside, moved down the vats and urns, and a dozen people chanted, moved down the millstones, and installed them one by one in each room.

In the afternoon, corn and sweet potatoes started to be collected, and Nie Li was taking notes on a paper, remembering how many catties of corn and sweet potatoes he bought, and paying later.

After discussing with Nie Dalang, Yun Duo decided to settle the money first, "Let's talk about it when we don't have enough. This starch can be made and sold."

Those who sell corn and sweet potatoes are very happy, but they still need to eat sweet potatoes and corn, so they don't sell many.They all want to go to relatives' homes to say hello, and buy sweet potatoes and corn from other people's storage, so that they can make more starch.

Yun Duo asked Nie Dalang to go home to rest, and she stayed to teach people how to wash starch.

Mrs. Liu looked around and wanted to come in, but the gate was barred, not for the workers to let in, and the workers were not allowed to disclose the method of making starch, which was strongly demanded by Nie Lizheng.If anyone's family leaks out, they will be driven out of the village and become the public enemy of the whole village.

The grinders are all men, and the starch washers are all women. They are used to doing farm work, and they don't feel tired. Instead, they feel energetic all over their bodies.

On the second day, a lot of starch came out and dried in the yard.

There was so much commotion in the village, and the Fan family also got the news. Master Fan and Wang Zhong came over and saw that they were busy, but they all changed their views on Yun Duo again.No power, no power, no house to live in, dare to start a workshop with some capital.

However, the people in the village seemed to have been intoxicated, as if they wanted to make a lot of money.Looking at Yun Duo again, she is much taller than the fish selling her. The padded cotton jacket embroidered with orchids and grass in fine cotton, and the skirt trimmed with skirts, she is already a slim girl.

Nie Li was grinning, "The village is now making a fortune, and this small workshop needs to be taken care of by Mr. Fan!"

If I really want him to take care of me, I will go to see him before starting the workshop.Master Fan also chuckled, "It's pretty decent. I'm also happy for the village to have something to gain."

After talking a few words, Master Fan asked about the uses of cornstarch and sweet potato starch.

"It's all for food, you can make snacks or dishes." Yun Duo replied.

"Several shops in the county are still waiting for you to cook fish!" Speaking of this, Master Fan looked a little worried.

"The day after tomorrow, I'll take the starch to the county seat." Yun Duo smiled, and if he didn't go back this time, he had to go.

After strolling around, Master Fan took Wang Zhong away.

The workers heard that Yunduo was going to sell starch in the county town the day after tomorrow, so they quickened their hands and feet, trying to make more starch before Yunduo entered the county town.

Back home, Yun Duo took Nie Dalang's medicine and calculated it. It happened to be eaten until the day after tomorrow. He took the silver and set aside five taels for Nie Dalang's medicine. The rest was used to buy corn and sweet potatoes.

Nie Dalang was sitting on the kang practicing calligraphy, and he seemed to be unable to hold the brush steadily.

Yun Duo looked at it and sighed secretly.Sure enough, there is still no progress, like a chicken planer, crooked.

Nie Dalang's eyes turned slightly, and he looked at Yun Duo with an uncomfortable face, "Is the writing ugly? I can't hold the pen well." Such characters are not easy to write, and he needs to practice hard.

Yun Duo really couldn't stand it anymore, so she sat over and took the brush to show him, "It's like this. I think Lizheng holds the brush like this."

As a result, the brush was in Nie Dalang's hands, and he couldn't write when he held the brush upright, and it was more like a dog crawling than before.

Seeing that his pale and sickly face was blushing, Yun Duo took his hand and corrected his posture, "Didn't Lizheng teach you several times, I learned it all."

"Hmm. Maybe I'm old and have been ill for so long..." Nie Dalang responded uncomfortably.

Yun Duo looked at Nie Dalang with a strange look on his face. He is old and sensible, shouldn't he learn quickly?Or has he really been sick for too long, and his brain is a little out of control?As soon as the idea came up, she denied it herself.Mrs. Liu fell into the water, but he said he could not.She was going to call Nie Ergui to save her, but he immediately stopped her and called Nie Silang.Mrs. Liu came up and said that it was too slow to yell, and it was her son who listened to the yelling that didn't make trouble.It doesn't look like he's out of his mind!
