Chapter 744

In fact, there are too many dried fruits and jams in the space to eat, but the types are different. There are not so many tropical fruits in the space. The purpose of taking them back is to let everyone taste fresh.

The next day, Xu Qing and Li Changting rush back to the town. Today's workers will go to the town to find her. If they can't find her, they will think she is a liar.

Halfway into the space, Xu Qing left Li Changting on horseback, several times faster than when they went there, and got back to the town before noon.

At this moment, a lot of people gathered scattered in front of the inn. When the shopkeeper learned that these were all called by Xu Qing, he helped Haosheng to treat them and gave them free tea to quench their thirst.

In fact, if the shopkeeper is not so friendly, some people feel cheated and can't help but want to go back.

However, seeing Xu Qing's carriage coming from the end of the street, the big guys could not help but brighten their eyes. One by one, they stood up and looked forward to it, hoping that they had not made the trip in vain.

Xu Qing got out of the carriage and swept around the people in front of him. Seeing that all the 35 people recruited in the past two days were there, he nodded and said, "you've been waiting for a long time. I've been delayed on my way. Let's all go in. I'll treat you to lunch."

Xu Qing and Li Changting took the lead in walking into the inn. The people behind them looked at each other. After they were sure that they had heard each other correctly, they also went in. However, they all seemed to be a little stiff.

Although they have come to the town many times, they are at a loss when they enter the inn for the first time, or when they enter such a spacious and beautiful house for the first time.

Xu Qing wanted to invite everyone to dinner. He gave the shopkeeper a silver or two for him to arrange. The shopkeeper happily took the silver and gave it to him.

They don't spend much here. Although meat dishes are expensive and start at least ten Wen, vegetarian dishes are very cheap. Usually, the guests who come to have a meal can order one dish, one soup and two bowls of rice for five or six Wen. If it's porridge and steamed bread, it's even cheaper.

It's no problem for 35 people to have enough to eat for one or two silver. You can also add a meat dish to each table.

While everyone was waiting for lunch, Xu Qing and Li Changting went out. Before, the shopkeeper introduced a spacious house for her. Now Xu Qing just went to have a look and rented it if it was suitable.

She doesn't have any requirements for the place. It's big enough and spacious enough. It's really not good. She can do things by building a few grass sheds by the river outside the town.

After going to the house, Xu Qing unexpectedly found that although the house was dilapidated, it was still clean. He immediately decided to rent it for only one month.

The house is also empty, and Xu Qing's price is relatively high. Of course, the owner is happy, and both parties sign the contract neatly.

Later, Xu Qing went to the dental shop and asked for some help. She had a clear idea of the market here. Firewood and bamboo were very cheap. As long as she was willing to pay for them, there were many ready-made ones. If there were no ready-made ones, there were many people going to the mountain to help.

The stone ladle and the stone mill are rented temporarily. There are too many such things here. Only the knives are bought now. As long as you give two Wen to the clerk in the dental shop, this little thing can help to do things properly.

Xu Qing saved a lot of trouble, and then he could transport the coconuts.

After lunch, Xu Qing and Li Changting went to the inn to bring the workers. On the first day, they would not go to work, and they had to train, otherwise everyone would not know how to do it.

Xu Qing divided the people into four groups. The strong men did the hard work, the strong and skillful ones were responsible for peeling, the women could do the sun drying and drying of coconut powder, and finally set aside three good cooks for everyone to cook.

As for accommodation, villagers close to the town can go back by themselves or live in inns and houses.

In the afternoon, the villages also sent coconuts.

The coconuts ordered from these villages are all good coconuts suitable for making coconut powder. Xu Qing does the job of selecting coconuts himself. Those too small or slightly bad coconuts are considered unqualified and should be returned.

It's not easy to peel coconuts. Xu Qing gave each of these men a knife. Originally, he wanted to equip each of them with a pair of gloves, but there are only cotton pocket gloves used in winter.

"Safety is the most important thing. Be careful. You need to cut your hand. It doesn't matter if you cut it slowly. Practice more and you will be proficient." Xu Qing stressed, "this knife is sharp. If you cut your hand, you may cut off your finger. Even if you cut a hole, it's not a small matter, so be careful."

These men nodded obediently, holding knives and carefully sitting in front of the plank to cut. They usually use wood knives, and the poor ones also have stone knives.

It's the first time I've seen such a sharp knife. It's just the same with the knives used by the soldiers on the battlefield.

When you got started, you found out how easy this knife was to use. The thick coconut peel was as easy as cutting watermelon. You simply cut off the outer shell, but you need to be careful about the inner brown skin. Don't cut too much flesh, and you have to make sure you don't leave any residue.

When the cut coconut is thrown into the basin, another group of people will take out the coconut juice, break the coconut meat and put it into the stone ladle for further mashing.

The conditions are too simple. This is the highest preparation.Because the tools are so easy to use, although the peelers are slow to peel, the efficiency is much higher than when they do it at home. When they get to the back, they are familiar with the knives in their hands, and the speed is gradually faster.

Xu Qing stares at it for a while and walks away at ease when he sees no problem.

On the other side of the kitchen, three women were preparing dinner for these people. They went out to the market to buy the food. They had only come to the town to sell food before, but they didn't find that the food sold in the afternoon in the town was much more expensive than that at the market.

The three women were chatting in the kitchen while choosing vegetables. They all had plans to sell their spare vegetables. Unfortunately, there was no spare hand in the family to do it. They all had too much farm work to do.

After these dishes are washed according to Xu Qing's requirements, they are ready to be fried.

When it comes to putting oil, the three women have some disputes. They have no idea how much to put. It's only when Xu Qing comes over and says that they can use it, that the three women dare to put oil into cooking.

The two women who worried too much and were afraid of being scolded by the boss were also relieved. They immediately realized that the boss was really generous and generous.

Xu Qing swept around: "why didn't you buy meat?"

The women were stunned for a moment, and one of them said: "boss, that meat is not cheap And the meat in the afternoon is not as fresh as in the morning. "

"Yes, I also saw that the meat was not very fresh, so I didn't buy it." Another woman said.

Xu Qing nodded: "also, it's so hot here. It's OK. You can buy it tomorrow morning."
