Chapter 1024 The lazy and evil sister-in-law of a blessed girl from a rural family (20)
Fortunately, Cui Dazhuang just made a joke, and after being pinched by his wife, he forgot about it. At this moment, what made him talk about more was the rice yield per acre of Meng Jin's family.
"The rice produced by Meng Jin's two acres of fields is worth the output of my three acres of fields. The yield of this acres is probably worth four kilograms!"
This news, like a pair of wings, spread throughout Dawa Village in just one lunch time.
When Mrs. Cui heard about it, she almost broke her job.
"It's actually true? How is this possible!"
She murmured, her face full of disbelief.
Cui Qiaoqiao frowned, she couldn't believe it and always thought it was impossible.
If you don’t work hard in farming, can you get a good harvest?
So, that woman has really become diligent?
However, in her previous life, she was sold to the Wang family as a child bride by that woman, and she never had the chance to return to her parents' home until her death.
I only vaguely heard that the eldest brother injured his leg in the service, and the woman thought he was a burden, so she took away the family's money and ran away; the second brother became the intrusive son-in-law of the shop owner of the papermaking shop in the town, and she never heard of the separation until she died.
.
Could it be that she insisted on dividing the family as soon as she was reborn and drove that woman out of Lao Cui's house, which actually forced her to become more diligent?
No matter what the reason was, she would never trust that woman again.
"Mom, it's just four stones, it's just one stone more than in previous years. This year's annual income is good, so what's the fuss? Anyway, I won't come to her for advice."
She now has money in her hands to sell delicacies, game, and medicinal materials. She can afford to buy a hundred or eighty stone of food, not to mention one stone of grain!
She will never forget the hatred of her previous life forever. The woman in this life should be lucky that she didn't try to sell her out, otherwise she would definitely look good!
…
On the other hand, Xu Yin is in a very good mood recently.
Comrade Xiaojin of her family is so diligent, even with a cane, she keeps the house clean and tidy.
When she came back from the fields, she had herbal tea to drink and ready-made meals to eat; while she went to the dry land to harvest rapeseed, he sat under the eaves and used a stone grinding rod to thresh the dried rice grains.
By the time she got home, everything was sorted.
As soon as she came back, the meal was served and the wash basin and face towels were ready.
Xu Yin took the towel from the cool well water and wiped her face, feeling comfortable and sighing: Comrade Xiao Jin in this life looks very much like Mr. Snail.
The rapeseeds are beaten and dried, and they are waiting to line up to go to the oil mill to press the oil.
However, Dawa Village does not have its own oil mill. The equipment seems crude and it costs a lot of money to purchase it. Everyone carries rapeseed oil to the oil mill in the town and queues up to squeeze the oil.
Xu Yin wanted to go with the villagers, mainly because she wanted to recognize the door of the oil press.
"I'll go when my legs are healed. I still have enough fuel at home." Cui Mengjin felt sorry for his wife and wouldn't let her push a wheelbarrow into town alone.
Xu Yin pointed to the main room: "There is almost no place to pile them up."
There is only one thatched hut in the house, which is divided into one room and one living room with a bamboo curtain. There is no warehouse. After the grain is collected, it can only be piled in the main room, almost without any floor space.
Pressing rapeseed into oil saves some space.
However, she planned to bring back the rapeseed cake residue after oil extraction, and even wanted to ask a few familiar people to buy their rapeseed cake residue.
Those families have a lot of land, and they grow a lot of rapeseed. They all start from two acres. I'm afraid there are several sacks of cake residues squeezed out, and there is still no room to put them. Don't want it, and I feel sad about the rapeseed cake residues.
What a great pig retting feed!
"Ajin, it seems we have to build a house. How about we start construction after your legs are healed?"
She calculated and found that it actually cost not much to build three adobe houses.
It’s not that you don’t want to live in a brick house, you can just do as the Romans do. No one in Dawa Village currently lives in a brick house. The Li Zheng family has the best conditions and is also an adobe house. The houses of the elders seem to be made of stones and have two sides of yellow mud.
Most of the roofs of mud and stone houses are made of tiles instead of thatch.
She plans to build a house like Li Zheng's house.
There are many rivers and lakes in Dawa Village, and the mud in some areas is reddish brown, which is very suitable for making adobe.
The wood can be cut casually on the mountain, so the adobe and wood don't cost anything, but the tiles need to be bought for money.
But if you build a house with bricks and tiles, not only the tiles will cost money, but the blue bricks for three rooms will probably cost dozens of taels. Her apparent silver now is less than a hundred taels, so she'd better not spend so much money yet.
.
However, she planned to find some time to find Li Zheng and approve the homestead in front of the yard.
Homestead land is not expensive, much cheaper than fertile dry land. After all, it can only be used for building houses.
When Ming has a lot of money, he just builds a row of brand new brick houses in front, and the adobe house is reserved as a warehouse, and surrounded by walls, wouldn't it become an independent compound?
If you are more affluent, you can buy the wild lake and pond in front of you. Whether you raise fish or shrimp, or plant lotus roots or lotus flowers, you can open the door and see your own lake. It will be refreshing just thinking about it.
However, it is still early to reach these goals. It is practical to build adobe houses first and improve the cramped living environment.
The lady insisted on pressing the oil but refused to allow him to follow. Cui Mengjin had no choice but to obey. Who said he was a wounded person?
Injured patients are not qualified to negotiate terms.
But he was not idle either. Since he was going to build a house, he had to start making the adobe as soon as possible.
So, when Xu Yin went out, he sat in the backyard, pounded the soil lumps, chopped straw, pounded the soil lumps into powder, chopped the straw into small pieces, and then cleaned out the wild boar hairs swept out of the pig pen for easy mixing.
Xu Yin pushed the wheelbarrow to the entrance of the village to meet Goudanniang and her group.
Goudan Daddy was walking in front with two baskets of rapeseed and other men. Goudan Niang was walking next to Xu Yin, carrying eggs and embroidered handkerchiefs that she had brought to town to exchange for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. When she encountered uneven roads, she helped.
Give it a push.
It takes more than half an hour to walk from the village to the town, so of course we chat while walking.
Xu Yin learned from the conversations between the women that the oil yield rate of the oil pressing mill in the town was very low. Especially for oil crops such as rapeseed, one acre of land can harvest almost two hundred kilograms of rapeseed. The final rapeseed oil can be
Forty pounds is pretty good.
If you want to take back the leftover cake residue, the oil press will have to take away five kilograms of oil as a processing fee. It would be good to have thirty-five kilograms in the end. Reading
No one in Dawa Village raises pigs. Firstly, piglets are expensive, and secondly, someone has raised pigs before, but the pigs died of diarrhea before the New Year.
The investment is high, the risk is high, and unlike chickens and ducks, which can usually lay eggs, they are willing to raise pigs only when they are full, let alone when they are not full.
So far this year, the weather has generally been smooth. After the busy farming season, many families will have a few hearty meals to replenish their health. If there is a disaster, grass roots and tree barks will be plundered. Raising pigs is equivalent to robbing people for food, so naturally they will not want to
Raised.
However, even if some people raise pigs, they don’t know that rapeseed cake can be fed to pigs. They think it is useless to take it back. If you need to squeeze the oil again, you need oil extraction equipment. It is better to leave it as processing fee to the oil extraction workshop, which can save money.
