The snow in the village has basically melted away, but the muddy roads are still not easy to walk on. The villagers came to Uncle Wang several times to urge them to go to the market, but Uncle Wang refused every time.
He said: "This road is slippery and difficult to walk on. It's a waste of time to go back and forth. I'll be able to do it today in a few days. Let's go back in a few days."
A few days passed and a few days passed, and the push continued for three days.
After the Wen family saw that the road seemed to be almost walkable, Wen Wen said: "Let's try it at home again to see how much we can make in a day and see what effect the glutinous rice cake has overnight."
The most important thing is these two points. Making glutinous rice cakes is a manual job, and they go to the market to set up a morning stall. If the glutinous rice cakes can't be left overnight, it won't help. After all, it's one thing to wake up in the morning and disturb others' rest.
Son, it's too early and they can't see clearly, not to mention how tight the time is in the morning. If they want to stay busy until the morning, they might as well not sleep at all.
The key is that if the quantity is small, she feels there is no need to do anything. It costs money to go to the market and to set up a stall. It is all money, so since she has gone, she naturally sells more, otherwise she will do it.
Why don't you suffer that crime?
"Okay, let's try it first."
It takes an hour and a half to make glutinous rice cakes in a big stone mortar, which is 3 hours. After 3 hours, people will basically be tired and paralyzed. Of course, there is also the reason why these two people occupy the children. One of them is ten
How much strength can a child of many years have? If it were an adult, it would definitely be much better. Even an adult with enough energy can hit the glutinous rice cakes once or twice more.
Looking at the brothers who were already in the second round of making glutinous rice cakes, Wen Xin thought about it and said, "Why don't we invite someone to make glutinous rice cakes."
"Invite someone?" The three brothers slapped their hands on the glutinous rice cake. As rural people, they really didn't have the consciousness to ask people to do things, but when it came to inviting people, it seemed that it was not impossible. Wenhou asked: "Who are you inviting?
, how can I give you this money?"
Wen Yu thought for a while and said: "This is physical work that can only be done by men. Aren't the eldest and second brothers of the Wang family at home? How about inviting them both? I heard Aunt Wang say before that they work as porters at the market.
, the day's salary is 5 cents, which does not include food and drink. This is considered manual work, so we can actually be given 5 cents a day. Food is not included outside, and we also have to eat. It is better to include breakfast and two meals late.
How about it."
This is not because Wen Yu wants to be a good person, but because these two people can eat the food at home, he can better instruct others to do things, not to mention that every household now eats that way, and it is not necessary to eat well, as long as they can eat enough, it is enough
Not bad, the food at his house is definitely better than the ones outside. Besides, they always have to eat, so it’s really nothing to add a pair of chopsticks.
As for lunch, we definitely don’t eat. No one has the habit of having lunch, so naturally they won’t change just because they invite someone over.
The family's discussion was very good, and it seemed natural that the Wang family would definitely help them, but the imagination was so good that Wen Wen couldn't help but said: "This is just a preliminary idea. What if the two brothers of the Wang family don't do it?"
Let’s ask first.
Everyone was mute and continued to poke the glutinous rice cakes in the stone mortar. Finally, after an hour and a half, the second glutinous rice cake in the stone mortar was finally finished.
The glutinous rice cakes beaten in two stone mortars were poured into a basin filled with soybeans and powdered sugar. Then the soybeans and powdered sugar were evenly sprayed on the glutinous rice cakes, and a few wooden branches were placed in the areas where the glutinous rice cakes were not touched.
, and finally covered it with a semi-wet cloth and covered the glutinous rice cake in the cloth to keep it moist. This is equivalent to wrapping a house in plastic wrap.
The next day, when everyone went to check the glutinous rice cakes, except for the soybean flour in the top room, which was slightly less, the glutinous rice cakes were still soft and delicious. This proved that the glutinous rice cakes could be kept overnight in this weather. As for the heat,
After that, let’s talk about it after it’s warmed up, “Now that it’s cold, I’ll sell it this way. When it’s hot, I might not sell it, so I’ll just do it one day at a time.”
After confirming that the glutinous rice cake could be kept overnight, Wen Yu and Wen Hou went to the Wang family.
People nowadays actually live a very simple life, especially when rural people are busy farming, and when they are slack, they help repair houses or go to the city to do transportation. If you are building a house in your own village, the owner will usually
Two meals are provided, but there is no money. However, if it is from a foreign village, the wages must be agreed in advance, and the wages will be paid daily or upon completion.
If you go to the market to do transportation, it will be more troublesome. Not only do you have to rush early, but you also have to finish the work late. But fortunately, this type of work is paid on a daily basis.
No matter what the job is like, everyone can always find ways to add some money to their families. This is basically how rural people earn their money.
Now, winter has just passed, and it is not yet the time for busy farming. However, it is also cold now, and it is not time to build a house. When the Wang brothers were thinking about whether to go to the city to do transportation, the Wen family came to find them.
Came over.
Wen Yu talked directly with Aunt Wang. After hearing this, Aunt Wang was not even prepared to accept the money, but Wen Yu advised: "We are just doing business here. If you don't accept the money, we are embarrassed to let Zheng Lai."
Brother He Xinglai, please help me."
After some persuasion, he said kindly: "We have discussed it, and each person will pay 5 cents a day. Since it is done at home, breakfast and two meals in the evening are included."
Aunt Wang then said again: "What kind of food are you going to eat? Just come back and eat. It's not far away. Your price is already very high. It only costs 5 cents to go to the city to work as a porter for a day, but you can eat and drink."
You spend money outside and pay for transportation into the city. To be honest, you really can’t make much money. The key is that you are still tired, but how tiring work can you do at home? After making so much money, how can you still do it?
Why are you so embarrassed to eat at your house?"
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Brother Zhenglai and Brother Xinglai can just eat whatever we want. This breakfast and dinner are already prepared. Don't refuse. This matter is settled. Tomorrow
It's almost 9 o'clock (5-7 o'clock)...just watch the smoke coming from the chimney of our stove and come over."
In fact, Wen Yu wanted to say Yin hour (3-5 o'clock), but thinking about starting work on the first day tomorrow, she was afraid that Wang Zhenglai and Wang Xinglai would come very early, so she changed it to Mao hour, but it was almost the same. They usually were 4
I get up before dawn around 0.00 pm, and sometimes I am too lazy to get up at 5 pm when I am feeling slow. Then I can have breakfast and go to the market at 5:30 pm.
After breakfast, the stove has been turned on. During this time, the glutinous rice is steamed. After breakfast, take a short break and start working. What a good time arrangement.
