In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

After dinner, He Qiudi, He Huaian, He Huaiping and Old Man He continued to get together to discuss matters concerning the autumn harvest.

Although the grain in the fields is not much when converted into money.

But the roots of the He family are the crops harvested from the fields.

So, no matter what, during the autumn harvest, the most important thing for the He family is the harvest of crops.

During the autumn harvest, except for He Huaizhang who had to go to the county government office, everyone in the He family was assigned tasks, including Wei Sixian, He Qingshu and He Erlang.

Even He Qingshu was assigned work, which shows how much Mr. He values ​​the autumn harvest.

After discussion, Mr. He made the final decision and arranged the work that all members of the He family should do during the autumn harvest.

Early in the morning.

Grandpa He took Grandma He, He Huaiping, Dalang, Qi Xi and her eldest son Sun Dalang to work in the fields first.

He Huaian took He Qiudi into the city first to see the morning market at the grocery store. After the morning market was over, He Qiudi brought the meat back to the village.

During the autumn harvest, the family’s meals must not be bad. There must be meat at every meal and everyone must be well fed.

As for He Huaian, it depends on the situation and when he will return to the village.

But in the afternoon, he still had to work in the fields.

Wei and Mrs. Lin got up to make breakfast. After breakfast was ready, Erlang and He Qingshu were responsible for delivering the meal to the people in the fields.

People who work in the fields don't come back for lunch until noon.

After lunch, we rested for half an hour and then went to the fields to harvest crops.

The land where the He family harvests crops is relatively close to the village, so they can come back at noon.

When it comes to harvesting Li's land, I can't come back at noon because it is far away. It takes half an hour to go back and forth, which wastes time.

As for He Qiudi, she brought Jin, He Sanlang, He Qinglu, Qi Xi's daughter Sun Yaya and Qi Xi's youngest son Sun Erlang to do other housework at home, and also took on the responsibility of making soap and perfumed soap, as well as building a new house.

Arrange it this way.

Everyone knows that Mr. He favors He Qiudi.

Ever since someone was assigned to the He family during the banquet, the work of making soap for the He family has become much easier.

The two helpers brought by Yang Liu were already skilled workers and did not need any supervision from He Qiudi.

She just had to complete the key steps.

As for the construction of the house, it was led by several craftsmen sent over for the banquet. They had built many houses before and did not require any supervision at all.

He Qiudi's supervision of them was just a formality.

There is even less other work to do at home.

Besides cooking, the housework includes feeding pigs, chickens and ducks, herding cattle, cutting grass for pigs, and washing clothes.

in the past.

These tasks can be done by He Qinglu and He Qingya.

Of course, He Qiudi didn’t have to do any work before.

Now she is the main worker in soap making and she enjoys preferential treatment.

Even Old Lady He had to go to the fields, so even though Wei Sixian had some objections, she didn't dare to say anything more.

As for He Qinglu and Sanlang, they were only eight or nine years old and could not handle any work at all. Assigning them odd jobs meant that there was really no one left to work at home.

After arranging the autumn harvest at home, the family meeting finally ended.

Instead, Jin Cuihua came to find He Qiudi.

I asked if He Qiudi could be the chef and cook for everyone at noon.

He also complained that the food cooked by Mrs. Lin was not tasty.

He Qiudi was helpless.

So he agreed.

She will come back as soon as possible and make a hearty lunch for everyone.

A dreamless night.

The next day.

Under the leadership of Mr. He and Mrs. He, the He family carried out the tasks assigned to them in an orderly manner.

He Qiudi got up early and went into the city with He Huaian.

It was rare that He Sanlang was thinking about going into the city with He Qiudi, so he got up early as well.

After they entered the city, He Qiudi took He Sanlang to open a grocery store, while He Huaian went to the butcher to get pork fat.

During the autumn harvest.

Fat is especially popular. Because working requires a lot of energy, and if you don’t eat oily meat to fill your stomach, you can’t bear it.

He Huaian had to find a fixed partner to get a fixed amount of hundreds of kilograms of pork fat every day.

He Qiudi had anticipated this and started refining oil on a large scale after returning from Licheng. The lard stored by the He family and the new pig fat purchased every day were enough for the He family to make soaps and scented soaps.

The morning market opened.

He Qiudi directed He Sanlang to shout and sell, while he went to the breakfast stall and bought two breakfasts.

After He Sanlang's mouth was dry from shouting, he called Sanlang over to take a break and let the store employees take over.

After He Huaian came back with the pork fat, He Qiudi and He Sanlang did not waste any time and got on their donkey cart, loaded with hundreds of kilograms of pork fat, some pork, eggs and other things, and slowly drove towards the village.

Arrive at the entrance of the village.

He Qiudi released water into the old well as usual.

Outside the village, there are busy people.

The people in the northwest are very tough, and there is no saying that women should not work in the fields.

In the farmlands, in addition to young and middle-aged people, there are also many women busy at work.

He Xiaohua and Sun Xiuer came over to say hello to He Qiudi.

He Qiudi responded to them.

But He Xiaohua obviously wanted to come over to please and curry favor with He Qiudi, but He Qiudi pushed her away and she went home slowly.

When I get home, I have to refine the oil first, then make soap and so on.

In the past, we had to make thousands of bars of soap every day, more than 300 kilograms of the stuff. The oil refining alone was exhausting.

Fortunately, there were skilled workers arranged for the banquet.

The He family is now in the autumn harvest and is short of manpower. As long as they can ensure delivery on time, He Qiudi is not in a hurry to speed up the progress.

While refining the oil, He Qiudi started preparing lunch.

They have no shortage of meat now, and they feel like vomiting after eating the oily residue every day.

He Qiudi just wanted to find a way to make the fried dough sticks taste better.

Chop it into pieces, mix it with chopped vegetables, and use it to make buns, dumplings, leek boxes, etc. These are all good ways to eat it.

When cooking, various oil residues are also added.

If there were any leftover oil residues, Grandma He would give some to people in the village who had good relations with her, as well as the Jin family.

On the first day, the He family was busy with the autumn harvest. They had already harvested four acres of land on the first day alone.

Adjustments were also arranged based on today’s progress.

The next day, four and a half acres were harvested.

On the third day, some villagers came to the He family to help build the house after harvesting their crops.

On the fourth day, two uncles and two cousins ​​came to the Jin family.

With four more important laborers, the He family's harvesting speed increased a lot, and they could harvest seven or eight acres of land every day.

soon.

The He family had basically harvested all of their 50 acres of land.

The last thing to do was to harvest the three acres of sweet potatoes planted by He Qiudi.

This time, when we harvested sweet potatoes, we dug out all the sweet potatoes in the ground.

The sweet potatoes are already ripe.

Before this, Old Mrs. He had reserved about two square meters of land in the vegetable patch in the front yard of the He family for He Qiudi to plant sweet potato seedlings.

These are sweet potato seedlings. After returning from Licheng, He Qiudi dug some out gradually and roasted them with He Sanlang, He Qinglu and others. Although he knew the yield was good, he had never calculated it.

After arriving at the He family's house to harvest the grafted sweet potatoes, a dozen people quickly dug out a large pile of sweet potatoes from half an acre of land.

"Dad!" He Huaiping looked at the sweet potatoes covering the ground and said excitedly, "Dad, this half-acre of sweet potatoes should have a yield of at least 800 to 900 kilograms. This is half an acre of land. If it were an acre, wouldn't it be more than 1,500 kilograms per acre? The yield of sweet potatoes per acre is so high?!"
