Soon, the villagers washed all the sweet potatoes that had not been washed before.
Everyone, whose hands turned white from washing, picked up their own sweet potatoes and weighed them.
Shen Qingyu requested: "For all the sweet potatoes that have just been washed, remove one pound of water from one pound of sweet potatoes."
Someone gave up immediately: "There is just a little water stuck to the sweet potato. How much can it be? How can one pound be removed?"
"That's ten cents!"
Shen Qingyu looked over and saw Shen Dalan again.
What does Mr. Bao look like with a black face? What does Shen Qingyu look like at this time.
She glanced at Shen Dallan expressionlessly: "As I said before, if you wash it at home and dry it before sending it over, I'm sure this won't happen."
"If it is delivered wet in the future, if you want to deduct money, just deduct it. There is no room for bargaining. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be deducted..."
"How can I say it?" Shen Dalan thought that Shen Qingyu had relented.
"Then pick them back and dry them in the sun before sending them over."
Shen Dallan jumped to his feet immediately: "I'm going to fuck you..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Dallan was covered by the person behind him.
"Shen Dalan, I'm warning you, if you have a dirty mouth and offend Miss Qingyu and make her stop accepting our sweet potatoes, we will kick you to death!"
There was a "choking" sound, which was the sound of the dragon guard sword being unsheathed.
Shen Dallan was so frightened that he cried out: "Woooooooo..."
Under the contempt of everyone's eyes, he nodded in compromise, and then his mouth was released.
I just said it smoothly, but now I realized: This is someone else's business. If someone says they don't want it, then they really don't want it. There's no point in trying to be arrogant.
Didn’t you see that the gleaming sword was unsheathed?!
As a result, everyone became quiet as never before and lined up to be weighed.
Xiao Taohua and Shen Dasong were weighing each other, one looking at the cleanliness of the sweet potatoes and the other looking at the scale.
The two put the sweet potatoes in the yard, packed them into 50-pound baskets, and then reported the numbers and names to the four little accountants.
One of the four little accountants writes the name, quantity and money, one is responsible for checking, and the other two are responsible for giving the money.
Strings of copper coins were taken out. A load of sweet potatoes weighing one hundred catties was a string of money.
There are also those who are very strong and weigh more than 100 kilograms, and the cashier will give them some loose money...
A load of sweet potatoes and a bunch of money, and you can actually hold it in your hands right away!
Hands fell heavily!
This is truly unprecedented!
Where was such a good thing in the past?
The villagers became excited, and those who got the money walked home carrying their empty loads and money.
"It's still early, let's dig out two more sweet potatoes! Hahaha..."
"Now I am really rich!"
Everyone left laughing and laughing, and there was wind at their feet.
My eyes are getting hot while I’m still waiting to weigh the sweet potatoes.
At the stone grinding area behind, five men from the grinding team are ready.
Each person carried two 50-pound baskets of sweet potatoes, cut them into pieces with two or three knives, and threw them into the eye of the stone mill to start grinding.
Before Shen Qingyu could leave, the people in the grinding team were heard saying: "Only the surface of this basket of sweet potatoes is clean, but the bottom ones haven't been washed! There's still sediment!"
What?
Shen Qingyu immediately walked over there.
Sure enough, there was a lot of sediment under the basket of sweet potatoes that had not been washed away.
"Who sent this?"
When Shen Qingyu asked, Shen Dasong went to look at the basket.
Shen Dashong could tell the difference between the freshly delivered sweet potatoes at a glance: "These are from Shen Dashong's family."
The expressions of everyone who were still waiting to be weighed immediately changed: This Shen Dalan is really lazy. He is still thinking about being lazy when he clearly wants to make money.
Isn’t he afraid that his sweet potatoes will not be harvested in the future?
Someone familiar with the situation whispered: "Taohua, you will harm yourself if you do this."
I finally got Shen Qingyu’s help and accommodation, but if I were fired by Shen Qingyu because of this, I would be in big trouble!
Shen Qingyu looked at Xiao Taohua.
Xiao Taohua was responsible for inspecting the basket of sweet potatoes.
Xiao Taohua blushed: "I...he...I'll take it and wash it right now. I'll check it more carefully next time."
"That's it for today. In the future, if you fail to inspect properly and are inspected by the refining team, you will not only be responsible for cleaning, but also have your wages for that day deducted."
Shen Qingyu had said this to Xiao Taohua and Shen Dasong before.
Xiao Taohua's face turned pale, but she still nodded and accepted the punishment. She took the basket of unwashed sweet potatoes and went to wash the sweet potatoes.
Because he said it in front of everyone, everyone looked strange and looked at Xiao Taohua and Shen Qingyu.
No one expected that Shen Qingyu would be so unkind when he got serious.
Xiao Taohua, a widow, must feel uncomfortable being humiliated in public like this.
Shen Dasong's face darkened, and he said to Xiao Taohua while weighing the scale: "Even if Shen Dalan's mother has helped you, you can't use your own work as a favor just because of it."
"Delaying things without talking about them also makes it easy for people to misunderstand."
When everyone heard this, they realized: It was because of this that Xiao Taohua let Shen Dallan off!
At first, everyone was curious.
Why did Xiao Taohua give Shen Dalan a break? She didn't even wash the sweet potatoes, so she dared to accept them from him.
Xiao Taohua blushed and whispered: "I know. This is my fault. I will wash it again right now."
Shen Dasong answered: "I'm weighing myself here, you go and wash it first."
Xiao Taohua can be said to have fled.
As the person Shen Qingyu trusts the most and can also be said to be the person Shen Qingyu takes care of the most, he was slapped in the face on the first day of work.
Xiao Taohua squatted by the spring stream at the entrance of the workshop, washing sweet potatoes, and surprised everyone who brought sweet potatoes later.
"Peach Blossom, why are you responsible for washing sweet potatoes?"
"Didn't I say that the sweet potatoes will be delivered after they have been washed?"
Another person lowered his voice and told the whole story of what happened next.
When everyone heard this, they all started talking. They felt sorry for and sympathized with Xiao Taohua, but they looked down upon Shen Dalan very much.
It's too much to bully a widow and repay a favor.
What's more, two people were weighing the scales, but now Xiao Taohua has gone to wash the sweet potatoes, leaving only Shen Dasong working, which always feels like a waste of everyone's time.
Fortunately, Shen Dalan only had a hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes in total, so Xiao Taohua soon finished washing them, wiped his sweat and went back to work.
"Taohua, you can't do this again!"
"That's right! It's wasting our time."
Xiao Taohua almost burst into tears. She blushed and nodded, gritting her teeth and saying, "I know I was wrong. I'll pay attention next time."
Shen Qingyu said nothing more, turned around and left.
Uncle Li Zheng was watching the whole process, which was equivalent to the general dispatcher, and he felt very unhappy.
After thinking about it, I went back to Shen Dalan's mother and asked Shen Dalan to wash the sweet potatoes and bring them over.
After the sweet potato pulp came out, it immediately went into the corresponding pot. Someone was already lighting the fire and preparing to make powder.
The sweet potato flour workshop is bustling with people and a lively scene.
Shen Qingyu looked at those who were still queuing up
