Farming Food Tycoon - Chapter 83
It was confirmed that everyone in the village was able to make the finished product without any problems. Early the next morning, Yu Qingze went back to the store with Jiabao and the others.
They dragged a cart of sweet potato vermicelli, some made by Yu Qingze themselves, and some made by villagers who learn quickly.
The price of sweet potato flour purchased by Yu Qingze from the villagers was 18 cents per catty. In a snack bar, one catty of dried sweet potato powder can make 6-8 bowls of hot and sour noodles. The price of each bowl of hot and sour noodles is ten Wen. According to recent sales, it can consume more than 20 catties a day on average, and sales are still rising. , Such a month is still relatively profitable.
For the villagers, the raw sweet potatoes on the market are about three cents and two catties. Most of them go to other villages to buy them, and some can even buy them for one cent for one catty. If done well, less than six catties of sweet potatoes can produce one catty of sweet potato flour. Some of the low flour yields require eight or nine catties of sweet potatoes to produce one catty of vermicelli. Generally speaking, about seven catties of vermicelli can be produced.
Either way, Yu Qingze gave them enough profit margins. Good craftsmanship makes more money, and those with bad craftsmanship make less money. It is fair.
The first batch of villagers who sold the noodles were very happy when they saw the copper plates they got in their hands. Others saw that someone had already sold money, and they were working hard.
Because the whole village is making sweet potato flour, the sweet potatoes of the nearby villages have been swept away by the villagers, and the distance between them buying sweet potatoes is getting farther and farther. Some even go to the village east of Tongshan City to buy them. Later, there are They simply set up special spots to promote the acquisition in the market in the east of the city. This is something later.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, the weather is getting colder day by day, the north wind is blowing, and the day is getting late. The snack bar is now half an hour late for work, but when the village helpers go out, it’s still early to see the sky.
When he arrived in the store, he unloaded everything. Yu Qingze went to the kitchen and said to Brother Chang, “Uncle, your village head of the bunk bed has been sent to install it. Uncle asked me to tell you.”
“So fast?” Brother Chang asked in surprise.
Yu Qingze nodded and said, “I have already made two of them, and they are already skilled. In addition, tomorrow Laba, our snack bar will take a day off. Uncle said that when you go back, you can buy some paper candles.”
“Okay, I remembered.” Brother Chang Ama replied and turned to make hot and sour noodles.
Upon seeing this, Yu Qingze approached Brother Le and gave him a kiss on his face.
Brother Le stared:!
Yu Qingze smiled, washed his hands and wiped them dry, and stood next to Le Ge’er, then grabbed Le Ge’er’s hand at the desk, squeezed it again, and said, “I’m here to make noodles and you’re going to make dumplings.” “
Le Ge Er pulled out his hands, his ears were a little red, and he lightly bumped Yu Qingze, then stood a step away, took the dumpling wrappers and began to wrap it up.
“Brother Le, grandpa has started to cough these few days. He is taking medicine and drinking according to the previous prescription. I may not come to live in the store for a while, and wait until grandpa’s health is better.” Yu Qingze said.
After hearing this, Le Geer quickly gestured to ask Grandpa how?
Yu Qingze nodded and replied: “Grandpa said that it’s almost the same as in previous years, so you don’t have to worry.”
Brother Le felt a little depressed. Grandpa Chang has been suffering from this problem for more than ten years. Drinking medicine every year hasn’t had much effect, but if you don’t drink it, it will be even worse.
Yu Qingze comforted him and said: “If you are not at ease, after waiting for Laba, I will take my grandfather to the city and ask Dr. Li to see.”
Brother Le nodded, and finally felt a little more at ease.
A busy day passed. After closing the stall in the afternoon, Yu Qingze told everyone to take a day off tomorrow, and then clean up. The helpers left first, and they wanted to buy something while some stalls were still confiscated.
Yu Qingze, Le Geer and Jiabao checked again, locked the door, and then went to West Street to buy some joss stick paper money and went back.
The Laba Festival the next day.
In the morning, Brother Le and Grandpa Chang were preparing lunch at home, and Yu Qingze took the two teenagers to the mountains to chop wood.
In the past few months, he and Le Ge’er have been busy with the snack bar. Everything in the family is piled on Grandpa Chang. Grandpa Chang doesn’t have much time to chop wood. The firewood piled high in the house is almost to the end. Chop more firewood before it snows to survive the winter.
The three of them entered the mountain, led by Chang Hao, to a mountainside with many dead branches.
Jiabao came to chop wood for the first time, and he was very excited.
Chang Hao didn’t pick up the ones from the ground. He was wearing a hatchet behind him. Seeing a tree with that kind of big dead branch, he was like a little monkey, crawling up and cutting it.
“Xiaohao, be careful, that branch is so thin, can it hold you?” Seeing Chang Hao standing on a branch as thin as his arm, Jia Bao was terrified when he looked down, and quickly reminded him.
When Yu Qingze saw it, he shouted, “Pi Monkey, be careful!”
“It’s okay, Brother Jiabao, Brother Yu, I’m very light, I used to chop wood like this.” Chang Hao replied nonchalantly, tiptoeing, climbing the tree trunk with his left hand, holding the hatchet in his right hand, waving his arms and starting to chop .
Bang Bang Bang!
The branch that had withered in half was easy to chop. Chang Hao chopped it for about eight or nine times, and the big dead branch was chopped off, and it fell off.
Jiabao hurriedly dragged away the dead branches from below.
The three of them chopped for half of the morning. The sun gradually began to fade. Seeing that they had chopped a lot, Yu Qingze shouted, “Xiaohao, Jiabao! It’s almost there, you can go back!”
“Oh! Got it! Wait until I finish cutting this one.” Chang Hao replied.
The two teenagers are now under a big tree, looking up. This tree is very tall, with a big dead branch on it, and the branches next to it are quite thick, very easy to chop, but it is not easy to climb up, because the bottom is very long, and there is no bulge. People stepped on.
“Can you climb it so high? Otherwise, don’t cut it.” Jiabao asked.
Chang Hao nodded: “Yes.”
Pinned the hatchet, Chang Hao hugged the tree with both hands and clamped his feet to the trunk. After the clamps were stabilized, he moved his hands up again and pulled his body up…
The little monkey climbed the tree smoothly. After climbing the first trunk, there are trunks behind for Chang Hao to take advantage of it without much trouble.
After a while, he chopped off a dead branch that was thicker than his thigh.
“Hahaha, what about Brother Jiabao, I’ll say it can be cut!” Chang Hao proudly stood on the branch and showed off to Jiabao.
“Well, great! You come down quickly and you are going home.”
“When I have a rest, I will throw the knife down, so let me go.”
Chang Hao dropped the hatchet, wiped away his sweat, leaned against the tree trunk to rest, and looked into the distance. After the dead branches fell, a space was vacated there, and the mountains on the opposite side could be seen, and the scenery was very good.
Looking at it, Chang Hao blinked and rubbed his eyes again. How could he see a man lying motionless in a clearing on the opposite mountain.
“Brother Jiabao, there is a man on the opposite mountain.” Chang Hao shouted.
“Is someone chopping wood?”
“No, the man was lying motionless on the ground.”
“Is that resting in the sun?”
“I don’t know.” As soon as Chang Hao finished speaking, he saw the man get up. Chang Hao said, “Hey, he’s really basking in the sun. He got up…Oh, he fell and fell… as if he couldn’t get up anymore. “
“What’s the matter?” Yu Qingze walked over and asked.
Seeing Yu Qingze coming, Chang Hao said quickly: “Brother Yu, I see a man on the opposite mountain. It seems that he can’t get up after a fall.”
Yu Qingze frowned and looked where he was looking, but they could only see the dense forest. He asked, “Really? Is it hurt? Look carefully, where is it?”
Chang Hao squinted slightly, looked at it for a while, and then said, “It’s on the opposite side. There is a big rock next to it. I know where it is. It seems that the man took a branch and tied a few branches to his right leg… …”
“Branches tied to his legs?” Yu Qingze said in surprise: “Then he has a broken bone. Come down quickly and take me to have a look.”
“Okay.” Chang Hao quickly descended the tree.
“Jiabao, you are watching the firewood here, and I and Xiaohao will go to the other side to have a look.” Yu Qingze said quickly.
Jiabao nodded, “Okay.”
Yu Qingze followed Chang Hao to the opposite mountainside, and really saw a man with a branch tied to his leg in the open space near a large rock. The man was an old man, about fifty or sixty years old, with a back basket and a cane made of a branch next to him.
“Uncle, are you okay, did you fall to your leg?” The two hurriedly approached.
When the old man saw someone coming, he was immediately surprised and said: “Oh, boy, it’s great to meet you. I was collecting medicine on the mountain, and I rolled down the stone, and my leg broke. Could you help me down the mountain?”
Yu Qingze nodded and said, “Come on, I’ll carry you. My brother saw you across the mountain and seemed to be unable to get up. Let’s come over and take a look.”
“Well, thank you so much, little guy.” The old man looked at Chang Hao and thanked him.
Chang Hao helped the elderly pick up the back basket and the branch cane, shook his head and said, “No thanks, Grandpa.”
Yu Qingze went down the mountain with the old man on his back, and reached the path at the foot of the mountain. He said to Chang Hao: “Xiaohao, you run fast, first go back and let your brother go to the mountain to pick up Jiabao and pick firewood.”
“Okay.” Chang Hao quickly ran home with a basket on his back.
When Yu Qingze went out of the mountain with the old man on his back, he happened to ran into Chang Hao and Le brothers who had rushed over.
Le Geer gestured and asked if there was anything wrong.
Yu Qingze replied: “It’s okay, you go and get Jiabao back first.”
Brother Le nodded and followed Chang Hao into the mountain.
When he got home, Yu Qingze put the old man on the chair and asked Dr. Yu to show him his legs.
The old man waved his hand and said, “You don’t need to ask the doctor, I am the doctor myself. You can find me two planks that are flat and of a suitable size.”
Yu Qingze found two wooden boards, and the old man borrowed paper and pen from him and asked him to help Dr. Yu get some herbs. Then he straightened his bones, applied medicine, and put on a splint.
“Young man, in the afternoon, I will write a letter, can you please help me to the Fulai Inn? I will let someone come and pick me up.” The old man said to Yu Qingze after he had his legs fixed.
Yu Qingze nodded and said, “We will also go to the city in the afternoon. If you don’t dislike riding a bullock cart, can we pull you over?”
Hearing the words, the old man nodded and said, “That will trouble you.”
At noon, the old man had a meal together at Changle’s house. He admired Changle’s cooking skills and said that this was the best meal he had eaten.
The whole family laughed when they heard it. The best food, you haven’t eaten yet.
The old man said that his last name is He, he is a travel doctor, and he likes to collect herbs everywhere. This time, he also heard that there was a rare herb on the nearby mountain, and he came here to look for it.
Grandpa Chang heard this and asked in surprise, “What precious herbs? I have lived here for more than ten years, and I haven’t heard of any rare herbs.”
Uncle He replied: “It is said that there is a kind of herbal medicine here, which is very powerful. Just a little bit can instantly paralyze and lose consciousness.”
Grandpa Chang shook his head: “I haven’t heard of it.”
Uncle He said disappointedly: “I have been searching this area for a few days, but I haven’t found it.”
After lunch, Yu Qingze went to the village chief’s house to borrow an ox cart. Uncle He saw that Grandpa Chang had a cough, so he asked him what was going on.
“I’m sick. I cough badly in the winter. Drinking medicine doesn’t help much. It will last for more than two months. It will be better when the weather gets warm.” Grandpa Chang replied.
After entering the twelfth lunar month, Grandpa Chang was ill. He had to boil medicine every other day. If he didn’t drink it, he would feel badly uncomfortable. Just drink it.
Uncle He gave Grandpa Chang a pulse, and then asked him what kind of medicine he had taken before. After asking him clearly, he shook his head and said, “Don’t drink your medicine. If you can trust me, brother, follow the prescription I gave you. Grab the medicine and drink it.”
Hearing this, Chang Le immediately gestured to the side to ask if Grandpa Chang’s old problem could be cured? Chang Hao translated it.
Doctor He said: “A thorough cure is not enough, but it can be relieved to a large extent, which is much better than the medicine you took before.”
Chang Le and Chang Hao were very happy when they heard this, and hurriedly asked Doctor He to prescribe a prescription.
When Yu Qingze came back to hear about this, he was also very happy.
Doctor He wrote the prescription while saying: “This prescription is good, but it’s a bit expensive. There are some more expensive medicinal materials in it, so the burden may be heavier.”
Listening to the famous medicinal materials, Yu Qingze said: “Doctor He, we have a ginseng, can you see if this can be used for grandpa?” Then, Yu Qingze asked Chang Le to get the ginseng, which was the one given by Caifu. .
“Do you guys participate?”
“some.”
After Chang Le took it out, Dr. He said after reading it, “This is ok, the age is good. Brother, you can soak it in water, or you can take one slice every morning, not too much, just a thin slice. Yes, it can strengthen your physique.”
After Dr. He wrote the prescription, Yu Qingze took the prescription, and then with Brother Le, drove Uncle He in a bullock cart and sent him to the Fulai Inn in the city.
After that, Yu Qingze sent Le Ge’er to the store again and said: “This recipe, I’ll take my grandfather over tomorrow and ask Dr. Li to see and get the medicine. Grandpa is not well, so I watched at home, going back and forth every day, and waiting for me to go back. , I will let Brother Chang come over to accompany you.”
Brother Le shook his head and said that he was still at home.
“There are people in the store to take care of you. It’s suitable for you and Brother Chang to live here. It is not convenient for me to live here with Brother Chang. Moreover, the weather is getting colder and colder, and I don’t want you to run back and forth. Good, it’s okay, I He Jiabao can go back and forth with Xiaoshu and the others every day.”
After the explanation, Yu Qingze drove the bullock cart back.
