Chapter 035: The Visitor from the Elder’s Family and the Fine for Being Unmarried
“Sit down and eat, I’ve already eaten this kudzu powder, so don’t save it tonight, eat it with an open belly.” Grandma Qin greeted the big guys, Sprinkle the ground roasted soybean powder on the arrowroot crystal cake: "Little girl Xiaomi said, this arrowroot crystal cake must be eaten like this."
Grandpa Qin finally came to his senses, glanced at Qin Xiaomi, and quickly said: "Let's eat."
After giving the order, Qin Xiaomai and the others cheered happily: "It's time to eat. It’s time to eat!”
The guys sat down and had a delicious meal.
After the meal, Qin Cunquan praised: "This arrowroot meal is so delicious, soft and easy to digest, and does not hurt the stomach. It also looks good, crystal clear, and even red with red beans. It looks very festive." .”
Qin Eryong smiled and scratched his head: "Aquan is indeed a scholar. He has a lot of words. I also think that eating arrowroot powder is very good, but I can't find words to praise him."
Little Liu looked at him. Silly, with a pursed smile.
Grandpa Qin asked Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, how many kilograms of kudzu firewood are used to make these noodles?"
Qin Xiaomi always remembered it and replied: "One hundred kilograms The first kudzu root produces twenty kilograms of kudzu powder, and on average, just over five kilograms of kudzu root can produce one kilogram of dry kudzu powder.”
The soil fertilizer in Northeastern Prefecture of the Wei Dynasty, even with wild kudzu, has an extremely good flour extraction rate.
The guys were pleasantly surprised when they heard this: "One stick of Ge Chai weighs ten kilograms. If we dig a few sticks every day, we can have enough to eat. It is much more cost-effective than farming!"
Grandpa Qin looked down and said: "We are farmers, so we still have to work hard on the ground. This arrowroot powder is just what we eat when we have no food."
And I am afraid that this thing cannot be hidden. Being discovered by bad guys would be a disaster.
But Grandpa Qin didn't say this out loud... Everyone was happy, and he didn't want to ruin everyone's celebration.
He asked Qin Xiaomi: "Xiaomi, you made this thing, what do you want to do next? Do you have any ideas?"
Qin Xiaomi: "I want to make kudzu powder into food and take it to Lao Song's house Make a quick buck by selling it on consignment in a food shop, and then use the method of making arrowroot powder to make bigger profits when you can’t hide it anymore.”
But...
She. His eyes darkened and he glanced Everyone present said: "But if you want to get benefits, you have to rely on everyone to keep it secret together. If anyone leaks the secret, this kudzu powder's financial path will be cut off, and no one will make any money."
< br>The head of the eight families stood up quickly and said: "Girl Xiaomi, this is the new grain you made. It is a blessing from God. We can just take a bite to satisfy our hunger, but we dare not share the money."
He also promised: "We must keep the secret of this kudzu powder. If we reveal a word to outsiders, we will annihilate our descendants!"
Qin Xiaomi smiled and said: "How can we end our descendants? How about this, uncles? Auntie, let’s set up a If anyone leaks the secret in the future, we will take the written evidence and take his whole family to the Yamen for sentencing.”
We are relatives and friends who fled together, and it was difficult to establish a family in ancient times, so she is willing to lead everyone to make a fortune. The checks and balances that should be used must also be used.
Jiang Dalang regretted hearing the words 'let's establish a written document' now, but he was the first to stand up: "I, the Jiang family, agree. Xiaomi gives me paper and pen, and I will write the written document."
Several other families also said: "We are willing to establish a written document."
Jiang Dalang quickly wrote the notes and read them to everyone.
Everyone had no objection and signed and fingerprinted it.
Qin Xiaomi accepted the note and smiled at everyone: "Thank you uncles and aunts for your help. From now on, every family must restrain their children and talkative people."
He looked at Qin Liupo.
Qin Liupo patted her chest and said, "You don't have to look at me for this kind of thing that will lead to loss of wealth. I won't leak the secret even to death!"
Qin Laoliu nodded: "Your sixth wife didn't tell lies. Money is more important to her than life. She won't lose money even if she loses her life."
Qin Xiaomi smiled: "That's good."
Qin Liu Po: "Then let's dig for Ge Chai tomorrow. Are you going to make kudzu powder? If you don’t dig up the kudzu wood quickly, the God of Wealth will be angry!”
Qin Xiaomi: “Okay.” Manpower was redistributed. The next day, before dawn, the nine families were divided into two teams. One team continued to open up wasteland, and the other team went into the mountains to dig kudzu firewood.
Jiang Dalang and Qin Xiaomi first went to the kudzu field on the slope of the mountain stream. To their surprise, "Xiaomi, the kudzu root from before is still there."
The people of the Wei Dynasty really disliked kudzu root. Firewood belongs to the category of not eating wild vegetables as long as there are them.
Qin Xiaomi: "Let's start digging. If anyone comes to ask, just say that we lost the money for selling pigs and we have to dig these cheap things to satisfy our hunger."
Why don't you just say that we dig them back and give them to you? Little wild boar cubs to eat?
Because if you say that, people who don't have wild boar cubs will take them back even if they don't eat kudzu.
"Okay." The big guy responded and started digging kudzu.
After digging on the mountain stream slope, I found two kudzu fields nearby along the direction of the rhizome extension. I worked hard for a day and dug hundreds of kilograms.
The next day, I didn’t go into the mountain again.
Qin Xiaomi said: "Going into the mountains every day will arouse suspicion. Going back every two or three days is more normal... Let's make arrowroot powder today."
"Girl Xiaomi is so smart. She can think of this, but Grandma Six couldn't think of it. Grandma Six went to fetch water first." Now Po Qin Liupo is trying to flatter Qin Xiaomi whenever she gets the chance, but if the kudzu starch delicacies cannot be sold, When she couldn't make any money, she made a fuss and asked Qin Xiaomi to pay her wages!
After three days of busy work, more than 600 kilograms of kudzu firewood were finally made into kudzu powder.
“More than 660 kilograms of kudzu firewood and 130 kilograms of dried kudzu powder are produced, which is very good. If we do it a few more times, we can make delicacies and sell them at restaurants.”
Everyone is very happy, looking forward to the sales of arrowroot delicacies.
While I was happy, a gong sounded.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
"All the victims of the ghost village must gather at the east end of the village. The girls are also coming out. The uncle of Wu Lichang's family is here. If there are a small number of people in the family, at least they will be kicked out of the village, and at worst, their household registration will be cancelled!"
After Huang Xiaozhuang shouted a few times, he hurried back to the east end of the village to curry favor with Wu Da.
Grandpa Qin said hurriedly: "Get the household registration, the girls took off their hats, exposed their bald heads, darkened their faces, and put on their smelly bags."
Because Everyone was afraid of Madam Li. They shaved their heads and wore dirty bags whenever they went out.
"Hey." Aunt Qin and the others hurried to prepare.
There were so many girls wearing so many stinky bags. They were so powerful that they really stunk against the wind. As soon as they arrived at the east end of the village, Wu Da vomited: "Uh-huh, uh-huh, damn it, Who took it out of your pocket? No, you were so hungry that you ate rotten eggs!"
Village Chief Huang said hurriedly: "Master Wu, this is the smell of the Qin family's body odor. I don’t know what kind of evil the ancestors of the Qin family have committed. Several people in the clan have body odor. When they first arrived in Northeast China, they were scolded by the adults of the Chief Envoy because of their body odor. "
The Qin family was yelled at again. : "Hurry up and stay away. You can't afford to pay for the fumigation of Mr. Wu!"
Damn, the Qin family really has body odor.
The words of Team Leader Zhou's yamen servant were confirmed, and Wu Da was very disappointed... He heard that there were several girls in the Qin family, and wanted to get two of them back for fun, but he didn't expect their body odor to be so bad, and he lost all interest.
"What a damn bad luck!" Wu cursed. As soon as he spoke, he took another breath of stinky breath and almost vomited. He hurriedly ran away: "Er Shuan, you come and send a message!"< br>
“Yes.” Er Shuan covered his mouth and nose, Said: "The ghost village you are in is under the jurisdiction of Chief Wu, so Chief Wu sent me to inform you to open up wasteland as soon as possible. By the end of the year, each household will have to pay at least five acres of grain tax."
If you open three acres of land, you still have to pay the grain tax for five acres of land!
“The ghost village does not have a village chief yet. You villagers will discuss it and select a few famous people. Chief Wu Li will appoint one of them to be the village chief.”
When the Huang family heard this, they straightened their backs... Huang Wu said that Chang Wu had promised the village chief to her man, and that the Huang family would become the first-class villagers in the village.
But they were having fun, and the next moment they were so scared that they almost died.
Just because Er Shuan said: "The third thing is, before the end of June, if there is an unmarried girl in the family, each household will be charged a certain amount of head tax... If you are not married at the age of sixteen, you will be charged one tael of silver; If you are not married at the age of seventeen, you will receive two taels of silver; if you are not married at the age of eighteen, you will receive three taels of silver; if you are over eighteen and you are not married, you will receive five taels of silver!"
The victims were shocked: "Brother, are you wrong? Although we in the Wei Dynasty have a custom of collecting a poll tax from unmarried girls, only those who are 18 years old and unmarried receive one tael of silver. Now Why pay so much? ”
