Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro
Chapter 77
After selling the new wine of the Liang family last year, the Liang family is about to start preparing for this year's wine making. The granaries where glutinous rice and rice are piled up need to be cleaned in advance to check whether the soil is loose, whether the bricks are intact, and whether there are any mouse holes inside. What.
Because the newly harvested grain has to be stored for about three months, and the wine will taste better and not rough when the grain becomes "calm". Mice must not enter the place.
After Liang's father led the people to inspect and clean the granary at home, Qu Daniu and Qu Erniu also led the people to sort out all the 150 mu of land.
Because they became more proficient and quickened their movements, finishing the barren fields earlier than expected, Qu Daniu asked everyone to turn over the fields again. It’s not tiring to have animals to help turn the fields, but it’s too hot. All of them were exposed to the sun in July and August, and they were tanned into black charcoal.
These cows and mules borrowed by Liang's father were very well taken care of by Qu Erniu in Liang's house. Not only was there always a lot of forage in the trough, but they were also fed with concentrated feed every day, such as corn, wheat, barley, Broken rice, flour, bran, fine bran, and sweet potatoes are not to be mentioned, and he even went to the oil extraction workshop to spend money on rapeseed cakes, peanut cakes, and yellow rice cakes left over from oil extraction by others. Bean cakes, buy what you have, take it back and mix it yourself and feed it to these animals.
When he was in the Qu family, Qu Erniu never revealed that he knew how to raise livestock, because the Qu family had no livestock. He didn't have to worry about it in the Liang family. Only by raising all the animals to be strong can save everyone's energy, and those who work together They all saw Qu Erniu working on these things, and they were full of praise for his ability.
Not only did the cows and mules not lose weight after working in Liang's house for a month, but when Father Liang and the others returned the animals, they all looked more energetic and smooth.
The autumn harvest was about to begin, and the livestock just happened to exert their strength in the next autumn harvest. Therefore, the village that lent the livestock had a very good impression of Liang's father, Qu Daniu, and Qu Erniu.
After finishing the wasteland reclamation, Liang Kangsheng and Liang's father asked everyone to go home and work on the autumn harvest. When the autumn harvest is over, these fields need to be planted before finding everyone. No one cares.
Before they left, Qu Yi made a special trip to find Qu Er Niu.
Pointing to Qu Daniu's family who were happily packing their things outside, Qu Yi said in a low voice, "Second Uncle, I'm afraid you will be tired when you go back to the autumn harvest. can see."
"Your Bomu and I know that, don't worry about it, you little guy. When the autumn harvest is over, the second uncle will continue to help you clean up the barren hills." Qu Erniu smiled, not taking Quyi's words to heart.
At the beginning, the Liang family gave Qu Erniu 50 taels of silver, and the wages of the eighteen strong laborers were fifty cash a day. After a month, the wages totaled 28 taels and [-] wen, which was the biggest expense.
The second largest expense is everyone's food. On average, one person spends about fifteen yuan a day, three meals a day, coarse grains plus fine grains, vegetarian and meat, and a month's use of ten taels of silver.
In addition, there are other expenses, such as preparing livestock feed, borrowing farm tools, etc., which cost about three or two taels of silver.
At the end of the total, there were eight taels of silver left over from the 50 taels of silver. These were saved by Qu Erniu and Chen's careful planning, which was equivalent to what the two of them had earned.
The reason why Qu Erniu didn't gain weight after working and eating in Liang's house was because he had to use his brain in addition to working hard, but he was already a lean type, so he didn't gain weight easily.
Earning eight taels of silver a month, Qu Erniu is of course willing to continue to help the Liang family. Looking at the vast barren hills opposite the Liang family, Qu Erniu is not willing to go out of his way to trick old lady Qu into doing small business outside. .
You know, before he and his elder brother went out for a trip, they only earned six or seven hundred wen, and when we went out three or four times a month, we only earned two or three taels. It was not easy to eat and live, and it was far less comfortable than working in the Liang family.
I will talk about the matter of the barren mountain later, the autumn harvest and the two brothers cannot escape, except that Si Niu is estimated to be able to stay in the Meng family this year, and he and the elder brother have to go back no matter what, because their father can't let them continue outside. Autumn harvest always comes first in my heart.
Thinking of the autumn harvest, Qu Erniu's face suddenly changed: "Brother Yi, I quietly went back to take a look a while ago, guess what happened to the land at home?"
"What's the matter?" Seeing his second uncle like this, Qu Yi guessed that the land at home might not be right.
"Let me just mention that the Liang family probably won't accept our family's grain this year." Qu Erniu didn't make his words too clear, but his words already revealed enough information.
There are two kinds of people in the Liang family who don't collect grain. One is the family with a lot of people and little land, and the food is not enough to eat;
Obviously, the Qu family can't be the first type, it can only be the second type. In the past, there was Qu Daniu in the Qu family's fields.
But this summer, firstly Qu Erniu tricked Qu Daniu out, and then the Liang family borrowed the two brothers away. The Qu family's grain production dropped immediately. What does this mean?
Qu Yi frowned, the reduction of the Qu family's grain production was not a good thing: "Didn't grandma say that she paid someone to water it?"
"Hey, ten pennies at a time, is your grandma willing to spend every day?" Qu Erniu chuckled, "Besides, the crops in the field are more expensive than the weeds, you understand."
Qu Yi understood. Mrs. Qu said that she paid someone to take care of the family's fields, but in fact she was reluctant to spend money and often fooled around. Once watering and weeding were neglected, the result was that weeds began to grow wildly.
Food is the most honest thing, it will give you as much reward as you put in your hard work, no, Mrs. Qu wants to make money and save money, so in the end, she can only have this result.
After Qu Daniu and the others left, Qu Yi thought about it, took Liang Kangsheng to Meng's house, and told Mrs. Meng about the production reduction in Qu's land.
Mrs. Meng heard that the Qu family's grain harvest will be less this year, and she clapped her hands happily: "This Mrs. Qu came to my mother to show off her power a while ago, saying that their family now hires people to do things every day. This is how they work together, laugh Dead man!"
"If you want the landlord to sit and collect money, you have to see if you have that fate. The landlord is not letting the crops suffer, but letting the tenant farmers or long-term laborers work hard. Mrs. Qu is good. In order to save some money, she doesn't care about the land. crops."
Mrs. Meng couldn't stop laughing, she could already imagine the expressions of Mrs. Qu and Old Man Qu after the food in the field was harvested.
When Mrs. Meng was happy enough, Qu Yi said to her: "Grandma, I guess there will be a lot of things over there this year. If my grandma comes home and asks my father to go back to work, what do you think?"
Mrs. Meng stared: "Brother Yi, don't worry, if Mrs. Qu dares to come, I will immediately sweep her out with a broom! His old Qu family has three sons, and the grain in the field can be harvested no matter what."
While talking, Mrs. Meng laughed again, "Mrs. Qu is showing that she has money to hire people to work, so she can continue to hire people to work."
As long as Qu Siniu and Mrs. Meng continue to stay in the Meng family, Mrs. Qu will not be able to do anything to them. Mrs. Meng believes in Qu Yi's ability, let alone the support of the county magistrate. No old lady can beat Mrs. Meng.
Mrs. Meng was happy for a while, then she suddenly thought of something, went to the door and looked outside, then came back and whispered to Qu Yi: "Brother Yi, last time I heard your parents say that your uncle and the others Kouzi went to Liang's house and changed a lot, do you know what's going on?"
What Qu Siniu and Mrs. Meng didn't understand when they went to Liang's house, Mrs. Meng understood when she heard her daughter come back. The more she thought about it, the more weird it was that Liang's family asked Qu's family to work.
There are few rich people, and people who know how to farm are everywhere in the countryside. The relationship between the Liang family and the Qu family is obviously not good. Why did the Liang family let the Qu family clean up the Liang family's land so reassuringly.
When the in-laws were in the Meng family, the old man mentioned it, but it was just a talk. What he said didn't mean that the Qu family would go to the Liang family to do things, let alone take care of the fields. The full authority was given to Qu Daniu and Qu Erniu.
It is true that these two boys are good, but behind them there is a Mrs. Qu who is full of troubles. The Liang family can obviously spend money to hire other people, so that troubles will not come to them.
"Grandma, this is actually my husband and I's idea." Quyi looked at his grandmother's shining eyes, thought for a while and told the truth, "I want the Qu family to separate."
After hearing this, Mrs. Meng fell silent. She thought about this possibility, but she didn't want this sentence to come from her grandson's mouth, let alone because of it.
In her heart, her grandson is still a naive, lively, ignorant little baby, but where she doesn't see it, her little baby has been forced to grow up, and his immature shoulders even bear part of his parents' responsibilities .
After a long time, Mrs. Meng took Qu Yi's hand and caressed his face, her eyes blushed involuntarily: "Good boy, it's because grandma didn't do a good job. Grandma shouldn't have let your parents go to Qu's house back then. I wronged you for that damned reputation, or else, or..."
"Grandma, God's arrangement has its own reasons. I live a very good and happy life in the Liang family, so I want my parents to be happy too." Qu Yi hugged Mrs. Meng.
After half a year of marriage, Qu Yi has already grown half a head taller than Mrs. Meng before she knew it. Thinking of how Qu Yi used to be nestled in her arms and acting like a spoiled child, Mrs. Meng choked up more and more: "You child is really..."
