Chapter 105 Shen Yunyun is here
Magistrate Cui felt that the pumpkin seeds weighed as much as a thousand catties.
"You are waiting for my good news."
Shen Qianning sent Magistrate Cui away and then began to greet Chen Zhongqiu.
Chen Zhongqiu has already walked around the village.
I especially saw the drying cellars behind Shen Qianning's house that were used to dry pumpkins, and I was curious about the uses of these things.
Until Shen Qianning took out the dried pumpkin.
Then he said: "When I grind the pumpkin into powder, mix it with other powders and eat it, you will know how good it tastes."
Chen Zhongqiu immediately sensed a business opportunity.
He quickly said: "Listening to what you said, I think this is a very good business. Can you sell me pumpkin powder?"
Shen Qianning had planned to sell it to Chen Zhongqiu before, but Chen Zhongqiu did not expect that Chen Zhongqiu would take the initiative to bring it up.
So he said: "It's okay to sell it to you, but the price must be carefully discussed."
This matter should be put aside a little later.
Shen Qianning asked Chen Zhongqiu to take away all the grain in the yard, calculating the gross weight and deducting the water content.
The price of millet this year was good. After paying the tax, she sold more than 5000 kilograms of grain, and finally got less than 30 taels of silver.
Fortunately, in this era, money was calculated in terms of pounds. If it were calculated in terms of stones, her head would hurt.
It can be said that food is really worthless.
If it were ordinary people who were busy all year round, those with more land might earn more.
If food hadn't been more expensive this year, she wouldn't have been able to buy more than thirty taels of silver for her little harvest.
She might as well make money by selling a few carts of vegetables.
Chen Zhongqiu negotiated another business deal.
Leave contentedly.
Shen Qianning's yard suddenly became empty.
Wang Mazi and Xu Changhe spent another hour or two finishing the rest, trampling the grain and grass on the edge of the field into several stacks of grain and hay.
Shen Qianning will not treat them badly.
Each person received 25 cents a day's wages, and in the end she specially gave each person an extra [-] cents.
This made Xu Changhe and his party particularly happy.
Wang Mazi and the others refused to accept the money, but Shen Qianning also forcibly accepted it.
This is hard-earned money and there is no shame in it.
With three children helping me, drying the food became much easier.
Qiu Shui and Lady Shi borrowed the threshing machine.
They harvest the rice and carry it home to thresh the millet.
It is very convenient to directly thresh and dry.
Shen Qianning lent the threshing machine and left it alone.
Qiu Shui, on the other hand, kept staring at everyone, fearing that it would be worn out.
On the third day, Qingtian came to the village to borrow a threshing machine.
Just as everyone in the village had finished threshing, Shen Qianning lent the carriage to Qinglin and asked him to transport the threshing machine to Qingtian Village. She happened to tell him about digging the land.
Pumpkin is coming to an end.
It occurred to her that pumpkin vines were actually edible.
Chopped into pickles are better than wild vegetables.
So he mentioned it to Qinglin and asked the people in their village who are willing to have pumpkin vines to come over in a few days.
Shen Qianning asked Xiao Dongchen to call Lady Shi and Qiu Shui.
She went to the fields early in the morning and cut some tender pumpkin vines.
Both of them were a little puzzled.
Shen Qianning said: "Please help me call the villagers later!"
Qiu Shui and Lady Shi didn't ask any further questions and went directly to call the villagers.
Shen Qianning was waiting at the door of the house.
It just so happened that the entrance to her house was relatively spacious.
So he brought a vine and said to everyone: "I know everyone is having a hard time this year, and we don't have many dried vegetables saved in the winter. This pumpkin vine is actually edible, but you need to worry about making it into pickles. Will you be able to eat it all winter? question."
Only then did Lady Shi and Qiu Shui understand Shen Qianning's intentions.
They all looked at Shen Qianning with surprised eyes.
Shen Qianning continued: "I won't charge you any money for the pumpkin vines. If you want to wait until I finish picking the pumpkins in these two days, you can cut the vines."
Next, she started to teach everyone how to make pickles after peeling them and washing them.
Making pickles from pumpkin vines requires a lot of work, such as chopping the pumpkin vines into small pieces and then stirring them.
Finally, how to install the altar is explained one by one.
Aunt Wu and others became more and more ashamed as they listened.
Finally, Aunt Wu couldn't help it anymore and said, "Qian Ning, we were so bad before, why did you still help us?"
Shen Qianning sighed when he heard this.
Of course she wants to win people's hearts, and she does so at the lowest cost.
But she couldn't tell the truth.
He glanced at Aunt Wu and said, "We are all from the same village. Please help as much as you can! I just hope that you won't be the white-eyed wolves like before."
Hearing Shen Qianning say "white-eyed wolf", everyone in the village except Old Man Xiao lowered their heads in shame.
Mr. Xiao helped from the side and said, "Qian Ning is right. Just don't be a white-eyed wolf like before. I believe you can feel Qian Ning's feelings for everyone."
Everyone nodded.
They really felt Shen Qianning's care, and at the same time they really regretted the things they had done before.
Several people stood up and expressed their opinions: "Qian Ning, don't worry, we will never be the same as before."
"We will no longer be white-eyed wolves."
Shen Qianning smiled faintly: "Then I'll rely on everyone to take care of me from now on."
The pumpkin vines are still blooming this season, but the pumpkins this season are unable to bear fruit and will not grow large.
She wanted to clear the land, so she asked a few people in the village to help pick pumpkins.
She picked all the pumpkins the size of eggs and planned to sell them to Chen Zhongqiu.
Separate old pumpkins from young pumpkins.
The corners of the yard were piled with pumpkins, and the woodshed could no longer hold them.
There are really many pumpkins in more than ten acres of land.
This year she planted round pumpkins, which are larger and heavier.
It took Qinglin and his village two days to finish threshing the millet.
After returning the threshing machine, Shen Qianning asked Qinglin to notify people in their village to get pumpkin vines.
By the way, I also told Qinglin how to make pumpkin pickles.
There seemed to be a lot of pumpkin vines in the more than ten acres of land, but the people from the two villages cut them cleanly.
Everyone is also particular about those old vines that really cannot be eaten.
It was also cleaned up by everyone. Shen Qianning took a look and saw that there was no need to clean it up.
This leaves her with a lot of time, huh!Saved again.
Shen Qianning was planning what to plant in winter.
Shen Yunyun found Niwo Village in a state of embarrassment.
As soon as she walked to the entrance of the village and saw the low thatched houses in the village, she couldn't help but frown.
Kaoshan Village was different from what she had imagined. It was so poor here!
Before she came, she was full of expectations, but now she was hesitant to enter the village.
She begged all the way and finally got here. After thinking about it, she decided that she still couldn't give up.
For some reason, just the thought of being away from Xiao Feiye made her feel depressed and particularly uncomfortable.
She firmly believed that this was the guidance given to her by God and also her fate.
She has felt that she is different since she was a child, and she believes that Xiao Feiye will definitely have a good future in the future.
She was walking in the village.
Lady Shi happened to send the prepared pickles to Shen Qianning's house, hoping that Shen Qianning would have a taste.
As a result, I saw a strange woman wandering outside.
