Chapter 342

In the twinkling of an eye, it was early September, and the weather turned cool into autumn.

After a good day, the workshop started again. The first one to dig sweet potatoes was Qiu's mother-in-law's family. This year, they planted five acres of sweet potatoes, half of which were newly reclaimed mountains and half of which were good inferior land.

In the first year of reclamation, the mountains were not fertile, and some of them had not yet grown up, so five mu of sweet potatoes only added up to more than 9000 Jin. They also left more than 1000 Jin of sweet potatoes for eating or feeding pigs.

A penny a Jin is about ninety-two and a half.

Song Xintong moved more than 2000 Jin to Houshan rabbit house to cook and feed chickens, ducks and rabbits. Only by eating more sweet potatoes can he grow fast. At the same time, mother-in-law Qiu also sent all the sweet potato vines, leaving only a few hundred jin to feed the pigs.

In addition to the villagers invited in the first half of the year, song Xintong added another five people to the place where sweet potatoes were crushed, ground, precipitated and dried.

First, there are more sweet potatoes planted in shiliba village this year. Second, it's almost autumn now. It's going to snow in two months. There will be no sun and no way to dry starch at that time, so it's better to dry them as soon as possible.

When the sweet potato flour can't be dried at all in winter, the workshop at least has stock, and the production of vermicelli won't be affected at that time.

What's more, people in the village are not willing to make their own starch this year. Please take sweet potatoes and exchange them for 10 jin sweet potatoes and 1 jin starch. If you exchange them for two or three Jin sweet potatoes, you will be able to eat them next year.

In fact, the villagers seldom add starch to the meat, because there is less time to eat meat, and it absorbs oil, which is not cost-effective. It is used to make cakes or vinegar cabbage or eggplant. In this way, less oil and water can make the dishes taste smooth.

Xie Daniu and aunt Xie were wearing aprons to help carry clean sweet potatoes into the workshop. Soon, the grinding plate and other tools inside turned, and there was a sound.

Aunt Xie quickly came out, looked at Song Xintong and said with a smile, "Xintong, I don't think anyone will send sweet potatoes here today. If you don't go back first, don't feel dizzy sitting here."

The early autumn sun is still very strong, song Xintong also feel the sun is hot, see really no one came over, then got up and said: "wait a minute to go back."

"They're all thinking about a few more days to gain weight." Aunt Xie hissed, and some of them didn't like them: "these people are afraid of losing money, but if it wasn't for Xintong you, could their sweet potatoes sell at such a good price?"

"Nothing." Song Xintong light smile, and then said: "aunt Xie, you really do not go to open a shop?"

Aunt Xie waved her hand: "no, no, I don't earn much and I'm worried all day."

Before, mother-in-law Qiu wanted to stop aunt Xie from opening a shop, because she did earn less. But aunt Xie was so strong that she struggled with aunt he for a month or two, but the effect was still not good. Finally, she gave up in late August.

Most of the reasons for giving up were frightened by the fact that the restaurant was framed, otherwise they would not give up so simply.

"I've just earned enough money to pay the rent in recent months, and I'm not going to die if I go on like this." Aunt Xie sighed: "and Juanzi will soon be born, and there will be a shortage of people at home. I think when she has a baby or next year, I will push a car to the wharf to sell. The stall fee is not as much as the shop, and maybe there will be a surplus."

"It's good, too." Song Xintong didn't say much about it. After all, it's aunt Xie's business. An outsider didn't say much about it. She said, "what's Auntie? They quit, too? "

"They still push a car to the dock to sell it." Aunt Xie said, "there are many people in their family. The wives of Dafang are also good at work."

Song Xintong thought about it, too. The men of he family help the workshop, while the women work at home. The whole family are good at work. They are harmonious and friendly.

Aunt Xie saw song Xintong's idea and couldn't help saying, "he's separated now."

"Separated? When did it happen? " Song Xintong was very surprised. After all, he family was a harmonious family, and there was nothing dirty.

"At the beginning of August, the old lady and the old man of he's family decided to divide the family. Now there are many people in he's family, and the four generations live in the same yard, which is a bit crowded. That's why they decided to divide the family."

Aunt Xie said, "aunt he, they are looking for land now. There is no suitable base in the middle of the village where he family is. They plan to build the house at the end of the village and be neighbors with our family."

The villagers of Taohua village are all concentrated in the central part of the village, and only a few are at the head and the end of the village. They are not very sociable.

"That's good. When the time comes, I'll be neighbors with my aunt and you can take care of each other with a shout." Song Xintong didn't hear from Aunt he, and didn't expect that Aunt he would move to the end of the village.

"Auntie he, did they invite the master?"

"What kind of master?" Aunt he just came over from the other side of the dam, just heard such a sentence, so she asked.

"About your new house." Aunt Xie said with a smile.

"Oh, oh." Aunt he narrowed her eyes with a smile. After all, it was a great joy to start a house. She could be the master of the house, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile: "I haven't invited you. When the sweet potatoes in the field have been dug up, we can plant the wheat to start the house again."

Aunt Xie: "that will have to wait until the end of October?"

"Yes, at that time, we were not free until we had almost finished our work." Aunt he said with a smile“ At that time, I'll also learn from Xintong. You'll have a passage built underneath, and it won't be cold if you burn a fire. "

Song Xintong said: "yes, it's not fat charcoal. A meal can make the house warm."

"Your sister-in-law, do they want to repair it?" Aunt Xie asked while chopping sweet potatoes.

Aunt Xie didn't go to the wharf to do business, so she went to work to help wash sweet potatoes. The women who washed sweet potatoes changed a lot, and they all became women about the same age as aunt Xie.

What song Xintong didn't want to change was a mother-in-law who told her that she didn't have a good waist and wanted to change into a capable daughter-in-law. She went home to take care of her family. Song Xintong thought that young women had better physical strength, so he replaced them.

Aunt he said: "the house at home is very good. My sister-in-law said that they would not repair it first. After two years, they would be more affluent and get a big house. Then the eldest and second children would have to have a house to live in when they are older."

Aunt Xie said: "that's very good. I think your sister-in-law's eldest brother and second daughter-in-law can have babies. It's estimated that they will have to have several more in a few years, and the family will not be able to squeeze at that time."

"It's too crowded now, or they won't separate their families." He er's aunt said with a smile: "Xintong, when my aunt's house is good, I'll go to your shrimp field and buy some shrimp to entertain the guests."

Song Xintong said: "Cheng, auntie, you just let the poplar catch it. You don't have to be polite with me."
