A lucky wife born again from a farm family

However, the Chen family’s paddy fields were in Xianggui Town. Gu Dagui had gone to the paddy fields in Xianggui Town two days earlier and built a shed to live in. With the help of He Wanli, he found a I met some farmers and asked them to harvest rice.

Mrs. Chen felt very distressed about this: "If the paddy fields were close to home, our family could cut them by ourselves without hiring anyone. Now it costs a lot of money just to hire people to harvest. We are really losing money."

The third grandma looked at her picking and said, "Your family has 30 acres of paddy field. How can your family of four harvest it all without asking anyone to cut it? You'll be so exhausted that you won't be able to finish it all."

Mrs. Chen was unhappy for a while after being scolded, but she didn't know what she thought of and became happy again. She puffed out her chest and said proudly: "What San Auntie said is that we are no longer farmers, but landlords. How can there be landlords to collect grain?" Not inviting anyone?"

Are you still called a landlord if you don't ask people to work?

"No, Dagui is too honest to be bullied by the workers. I have to rush over tomorrow and keep an eye on the workers to prevent them from bullying Dagui and wasting my family's food."

The third grandma was convinced: "Are you worried that Dagui will be bullied by others, or do you want to set off the landlord's wife? You should calm down. If you run like this, Dagui will have to quarrel with you again."

Mrs. Chen is not afraid at all: "Let's just quarrel. Which man and his mother-in-law don't quarrel? The more we quarrel, the better off we will be."

Dagui cared about her, it was impossible not to want her. If she made trouble, Dagui would remember her as his wife.

The third grandmother was too lazy to tell her: "Get out of here after sharpening the knife. I don't have time to listen to your nagging."

The corn knife is a sickle, specially used to harvest rice and wheat crops.

Mrs. Chen also said that enough was enough, and went home with two sharpened knives. As she walked, she looked at the two knives and said, "It's quite cost-effective to hire someone. It also saves money on buying knives."

Farmers who come to harvest will bring their own knives and do not use the farm tools provided by their employers.

Xuanhufang knew that Gu Jinli and the others were busy harvesting rice. After learning that the pharmaceutical workshop had produced 20,000 bottles of tooth powder, they sent someone to inspect the goods in advance.

A new group of people came to Xuanhufang. Although they were not as capable as Mu Tong and others, they were also people who knew medical skills and knew how to handle things. They worked from morning to night for a whole day. They finally tested all the tooth powder and gave the remaining one thousand Seven hundred taels of payment.

After Gu Jinli got the banknote, he happily kept it.

Old Doctor Wu also said: "Shopkeeper Zhang wrote to Shopkeeper Cheng that the purchase of tooth powder is very good. Every household in the rich family buys it. Every master has a bottle. The quantity of your bottle is not much, only one or two. We need to use it quickly, so we have to make it quickly. Otherwise, these 20,000 bottles will be sold out in a short time."

Earlier, Dr. Wu was still murmuring, saying that with this girl's temperament that she doesn't like trouble, how could she only hold one or two tooth powder in a bottle, which would increase the time for inspection? Now he understood that this was the idea of ​​dressing less, consuming more quickly, and selling more. It was really a clever idea, and he was convinced.

Then he said: "I will ship another batch of bottles to you in a few days. I won't leave you without bottles to hold tooth powder."

Gu Jinli smiled: "Thank you, Grandpa Wu."

What in the world can make money in the long run? That is consumables, especially consumables liked by wealthy people.

Rich people have no shortage of money. Once they get used to using something, they will habitually buy it. Tooth powder and mosquito repellent incense are general-purpose items that are consumed quickly. Just make them and sell them.

After delivering the tooth powder, Gu Jinli and his family started busy harvesting rice.

Gu Jinli's family previously bought twenty acres of paddy fields from Mr. Lu's family, plus the eighty acres in Songzi Village, which makes them a full one hundred acres of paddy fields. However, the yield of paddy fields in Dachu is not high, with an average of only three hundred kilograms of rice per mu. . Even so, her family harvested nearly 30,000 kilograms of rice, which made her grandparents and grandma cry with excitement.

"I never dreamed that I could harvest so much grain, ten thousand kilograms of it, and it's still rice. After the husks are peeled off, it becomes precious rice. I can't finish it in ten years." The third grandma said excitedly, wiping her tears.

The other families also harvested a lot of rice, each of them harvested several thousand kilograms, but the big guys were very excited.

Lao Yan had been poor all his life. When he learned that his family had collected so much food, he couldn't resist it and fainted with excitement.

Gu Qingxi and Gui Niu, the younger members of the old Yan family, were frightened and cried. Jin Niu came crying to Gu Jinli's house to look for someone. The third grandma was anxious when she heard this and hurried to the pharmaceutical workshop to ask Uncle Dai to take a look.

Uncle Dai quickly rushed to Lao Yan's house and rescued Lao Yan.

Brother Gu Damu heard that his mother had fainted, so he hurried back and asked Uncle Dai: "Doctor Dai, is my mother okay?"

Uncle Dai said: "It's nothing serious. Just pay attention to it in the future. It's just that the old lady's body is severely deficient. It's best to take this opportunity to take a year and a half of decoction to recuperate."

Gu Damu was a filial son and his family was not short of money. When he heard this, he hurriedly said: "Doctor Dai, just prescribe the medicine. Our family will definitely buy it for my mother to drink."

After hearing this, Doctor Dai wrote a prescription for Lao Yan: "Three times a day for the first month, and after one month, just drink it once a day."

Doctor Dai was a servant of Gu Jinli's family. He did not accept any medical fees and only asked Gu Damu to take the prescription to Xuanhufang in the town to get the medicine.

Lao Yan fainted and sighed: "I used to get sick and get over it with just one antibiotic. How can I see a doctor and take medicine at the same time? It's really expensive."

The third grandma smiled and said: "Just say a few words less and enjoy yourself."

After settling down the old Yan family, several families were busy taking the grain to the workshop and house for storage.

Because they were building a shop, their houses were still old mud houses and there was no extra space to store grain. After discussing with the Gu Dashan family, they brought the grain to the workshop house. After entering the big house, it is easy to carve out a few rooms to store food.

Gu Jinli's family stores half of their food in Songzi Village and half in the workshop. Both places have granaries that can hold a lot of food.

After harvesting the rice, several families started busy harvesting grain from the dry land.

These dry lands were also bought from Mr. Lu's family and the Zou family. When they were bought, they had food grown in them, such as soybeans, sweet potatoes, and vegetables stored in winter.

Winter wheat is grown in the Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas. After the wheat is harvested, soybeans, sweet potatoes and the like will be planted in late autumn before winter.

After harvesting, they were busy planting winter wheat on the dry land.

Since the winter in Jianghuai and Jiangnan is not as cold as in the north, winter wheat can be grown in dry land. Sowing begins in mid-to-late October and will be mature and harvested in the coming summer.

Several families were busy from early October to nearly November, and then they finished the farm work in the fields.

"We have to hire someone for this. If we didn't hire someone, we would really be exhausted." Mrs. Chen said, squeezing her waist, "It's not easy to be a landowner. Too much land can make people exhausted."

But when she thought of the food in the warehouse, Mrs. Chen was so happy that it was worth it no matter how tired she was.

But before she was happy for two days, the county government's official document to increase grain taxes came out.

All grain taxes will be increased by 10%, from a draw of 2 out of 10 to a draw of 3 out of 10.

When Mrs. Chen heard the news, she scolded her on the spot: "How much does it cost to increase the grain tax by 10%? Our family is still drinking porridge. We just want to have a solid meal, and you are going to increase the grain tax. What do you think? Such bullying? Man, I’m not alive anymore!”
