Chapter 264 Small tool for peeling corn
When he was sleeping at night, Wang Guiying lay down in Mugen's ear and bit his ear and said, "Do you think Mushui will really tell us the way to make money?"
Mu Gen hesitated and said, "The second brother has always been soft-hearted, maybe he will say it."
"Bah, I don't believe it. If your mother had been treating us like this, I would have long..." Wang Guiying said halfway through her words, and then looked at Mu Gen's reaction with a slanted eye.
"Anyway, my parents will follow the old people in the future, so there is no need for us to serve you. Don't worry, I don't know what you think. Once Yonghui finds a good wife, we will be separated." Mu Gen said to Wang Guiying.
"You still understand in your heart. Then Hongxia will also talk about a son-in-law in the city, so we will have endless blessings." Wang Guiying smiled so hard that she couldn't stop her laughing.
"You are looking at Yonghui's wife." Mu Genyou said.
"You think I didn't look at it. It's not that your mother doesn't pay a penny, so why should I talk to someone?" Wang Guiying sighed heavily when she said this. In fact, Liu Yaomei did not say she would not give the money, but Wang Guiying never took it. Now she pushed everything on Liu Yaomei.
"I'll go and tell her tomorrow. Yonghui is almost 19 years old. I married you when I was 19 years old." Mugen's tone was a little impatient.
"Don't worry, after harvesting the rice, see if she can go to Mushui to make a fortune. If it works, if we have money, Yonghui might be able to say something better." Wang Guiying dissuaded.
"That's fine, let's talk about it after harvesting the rice." Mu Gen said this and fell asleep, but Wang Guiying also fell asleep with a smile on her lips.
"The corn has been dried, so it can be peeled." Zhou Shuilian carefully checked the corn every day. Seeing so much food in the house, she felt very relieved.
"Okay, let's peel the corn kernels together today." Mushui came to the roof and started to collect the corn into the basket.
Chen Xuhui was responsible for transporting corn one by one, Zhou Shuilian, Mu Xiu, and Mu Xiaocao. Each of them took a curtain, sat on a small stool, and began to peel corn kernels with their hands.
Mu Xiu only peeled it for a while, and her hands started to hurt. She looked at Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao. The fingers of the two of them were also red, but they still didn't stop.
"Mom, sister, don't your hands hurt?" Mu Xiu asked.
"It starts to hurt, and it will be much better when it is peeled." Zhou Shuilian said with great experience.
Mu Xiu was speechless. He felt numb after a while and he must have been much better. After the corn was peeled, his hand would be hurt for at least half a month.
Mu Xiu recalled it carefully, and suddenly thought of a way. She stood up and flipped around in the woodshui toolbox. When she got it, she found a long small wooden board, which was about thirty minutes long and ten centimeters wide.
Mu Xiu picked up the hammer and hit it in the middle of the wooden board, and opened a small rectangular hole, and nailed a nail on the inclined surface of 45 degrees.
"Okay." Mu Xiu took the wooden board and returned to Zhou Shuilian Mu Xiaocao.
"What is this?" Mu Xiaocao asked curiously.
"Sister, just watch it." Mu Xiu picked up a corn and slowly slid it down on the template. A row of corn fell into the cover curtain. He saw a row of neat white marks on the corn core. After a slow stroke down, another row of white cores appeared, and the corn kernels fell into the cover curtain. In less than a minute, several grooves were opened by a corn.
Mu Xiu used this wooden board to trough the corn in his hand, then picked up a newly peeled corn cob and rubbed it together. The corn pellets quickly peeled off very well, saving time and effort, and saving two-thirds of the time than the one without troughing.
"What is this? It's easy to use?" Zhou Shuilian picked up the wooden board in surprise, flipped left and right.
"This is what I saw before when I read the book. I tried it, but I didn't expect it to be really useful." Mu Xiu found a reason casually. In fact, when she was out for a trip, she saw an old lady in her seventies use it in a very poor mountainous area.
"This book is amazing, teach everything." Zhou Shuilian said, trying to use it.
In this way, the three of them divided the labor well, Mu Xiu was responsible for the trough, and Zhou Shuilian Mu Xiaocao was responsible for the peeling. After a while, a bunch of them were peeled off.
Mushui and Chen Xuhui collected all the corn and carried the basket under the eaves. When they participated in the ranks of peeling corn together, they saw a basket of corn kernels that had been peeled. Mushui smiled and said, "You three women are really quick to peel, and they are peeling so quickly."
"Xiu made a tool and peeled it much faster." Zhou Shuilian picked up the corn brush that had been opened in the groove and began to demonstrate to Mushui.
"This is really a good thing." Mushui looked at the wooden board with a surprised look, put down the corn in his hand, "I'll make two more."
Soon, Mushui prepared two more and took them over. Five people gathered together. Except for Zhou Shuilian to cook, they stood up from time to time to coax the children. The other four people did not move the place except for eating. Only by putting these things away as soon as possible can they feel relieved.
Mu Xiu and the others raced against time to peel the corn. After peeling it for a week, they peeled all the corn and packed it in sacks. The corn cobs were also left. After planting mushrooms and fungus, the peanuts were packed and put into the cellar, the yard was completely empty.
"I've finally finished my work. I've been so tired these days." Zhou Shuilian held her waist with her left hand and gently beat her back with her right hand.
"Stay good rest for a few days and work hard. After two days, I went to the grain station and sold all the soybeans, peanuts and sesame seeds. The corn, sweet potato grain station was not collected. The price was also low. Let's keep it for ourselves." Mu Xiaocao said.
"I'll buy some rice after I sell it. We don't grow rice in our family, and there's no rice at home." Mu Xiu continued Mu Xiaocao's words.
"What else can I buy rice? Save money quickly. We can't owe outsiders money." Mu Xiaocao said seriously.
Mu Xiu didn't tell the rest of the Mu family about the fact that Lu Yuan and Li Tao had nothing to do with each other. Mu Xiaocao was a little angry when she thought of Lu Yuan. Since she had a girlfriend, why did she treat Mu Xiu like this.
Fortunately, Mu Xiu is still young and doesn’t understand these things. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be well-educated. What if she was cheated like this!
"Okay, yes, everything you say is right. It just so happens that corn and sweet potatoes can make two delicious foods." Mu Xiucha said that she borrowed money to pay back the money. She actually always wanted to buy a house in the county town and opened a snack shop, which specializes in selling snacks.
