Chapter 273 273. Barbecue room and food expenses
The more Song Tan listened, the weirder he felt:
“Wait.”
“Grandpa, didn’t you build the stove? "
Song Youde then laughed: "The tobacco leaves are so big, how can you bake them in a stove?"
"I'll build a higher grilling house. Let's take our time. Grandpa is not in a hurry."
Oh my god, after such a gesture, Song Tan knew that they wanted to build a two-meter-high small house!
The square shape was sealed tightly, leaving only a hole for burning coal at the bottom.
That’s right. In order to ensure the temperature and meticulousness, even firewood was not used underneath. Song Youde even planned to pull coal.
Coal is resistant to burning, and the temperature does not fluctuate. It is stable.
In the curing room, the tobacco leaves are tied up root by root, placed on a shelf, and piles of coal are burned on both sides of the outside. After roasting for several days, the tobacco leaves must be golden and bright, with first-class quality!
And it is more convenient to store than sun-dried ones.
Song Youde thought about it so much, and he became more and more active. Now he got on the car in a hurry, determined to get some more bricks——
For such a small brick house, he spent half a day In Kung Fu, the two of them exerted all their strength!
Fortunately, because it is against the wall, I saved a lot of effort on one wall, and it was finally completed.
After having a hasty lunch, the two little old men looked at the big sun in the sky, then looked at each other, and said in unison: "Go and have a look in the fields!"
Song Youde also hurriedly picked up another basket: "Let's Let’s do some roofing by the way. You can collect the leaves in the afternoon, and I’ll go pull the coal and dry the house first.”
The two of them have their own division of labor and cooperate with each other tacitly. At this moment, they really don’t feel any trouble at all.
Only Qiao Qiao stubbornly held a cigarette case and said loudly: "Smoking is harmful to health!"
However, at this moment, only the backs of the two little old men could be seen.
Within half an hour, the two of them came back with a heavy basket of tobacco leaves, all with the inflorescences on top.
At this moment, Song Youde couldn't wait to contact the coal seller. He also set up firewood to grill the newly built house, as if every second counts.
The seventh cousin was sitting on the porch breaking leaves one by one -
He and Song Youde agreed to roast the young leaves picked from the toppings for the first time.
The second time, I roasted the old yellow leaves at the roots of the tobacco.
For the third time, let’s take a closer look at the best quality batch of flue-cured tobacco!
As for how to distribute it, the two did not discuss it. Anyway, whoever doesn’t have it can just take it. There is no intention to sell this thing.
But Zhang Yanping was ready to make a move again.
He secretly asked Song Tan: "Smokers can't resist this. How about we grow more varieties next year and prepare more to sell?"
The price will definitely be high!
Sell?
Song Tan asked back: "Who are you selling to?"
Tobacco cultivation on a large scale needs to be registered. At that time, a tobacco company will come to harvest it, and each top-quality leaf will be given to you 50.80 cents. ’s...
“I don’t do this business.”
Zhang Yanping instantly felt depressed. Then I wondered:
"You didn't even know how to clean tobacco leaves just now, how come you know so much now?
Song Tan waved his phone: "Thank you to the almighty group of friends, they know everything. ”
Of course there is a bad thing, that is, after she asked about the tobacco leaves, some customers in the group seemed to smell the smell, and several people came to chat privately, wanting to buy a batch privately. ...
Looking at the appearance of the two little old men in the house, how many tobacco leaves can there be? Taking advantage of this time, Song Tan also took a look at the two-meter-high room they built. Brick house.
The house is not big, about two meters long, two meters wide, and just over two meters high. There is also a passage specially filled with coal underneath, allowing the coal to burn hot gas in the masonry and evenly transmit it to the baking room, so that The tobacco leaves inside are evenly heated and roasted more thoroughly.
The seventh cousin broke off the tobacco leaves, placed a bamboo pole in front of him, and then carefully wrapped the tobacco leaves on the bamboo pole tightly and tightly with a hemp rope.
A shelf is densely packed and neatly stacked with green tobacco leaves.
However, compared with other companies that specialize in large-scale curing of tobacco leaves, his shelf seems much sparse, pieces, and can even be fully unfolded.
There is no way, after all, they are taken off from the top and the quantity is limited. This is my first time, so let’s try it on a small scale first!
While working, the seventh cousin was still thinking: He started smoking cigarettes many years ago, and when the tobacco leaves are roasted, he will have to bring the entire cigarette pot!
It is now popular to shop online. I asked a few young people to look for a good one online...
Song Youde’s cigarette pot has been used for I don’t know how many years. The pole is It's made of bamboo, and the bamboo joints on it are all red and shiny from his coils, so he can't lose!
......
In the evening, Wu Lan, who had taken the time to go to the mountain to pick two handfuls of tea leaves, just came back. At this moment, he saw an extra room in the small courtyard filled with white fungus shelves. I couldn't help but wonder: "What is built here? A toilet?"
Unfortunately, the yard of my grandparents' house had the same problem as Song Tan's house, that is, there were not enough toilets.
No way, who made it possible for more and more people to live in the house now?
Even if Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun both live with their seventh cousin, a family of six with only one toilet is clearly stretched.
However, when Wulan poked his head inside, he discovered that there was no toilet here, not even a window! The ground was smoothed and a decent flue was built!
Looking at Song Tan again, she really gave the answer: "My grandpa is here to roast tobacco leaves."
Ulan:...
Okay.
She was unexpectedly happy this time: "It doesn't cost anything to grow tobacco leaves at home. It's much cheaper than buying cigarettes all year round. Let's bake them."
Look at that again. Bricks: "These are all ripped from our house over there, right? Oh, let me tell you, Tantan, the engineering team you hired is so meticulous in their work!"
"I'll go there during the bricklaying in the morning. After a quick look, the little bit of cement that seeped out has been smoothed away. This is such a beautiful job!”
...
At this moment.
The excavator guy got off the car and rested for a while. He endured it again and again, but finally he couldn't hold it back anymore and went to the person in charge.
He didn’t mean anything else, just one question that he had been thinking about for several days:
“Boss, why don’t we eat with this family?”
The boss’s reason was also very simple: “If someone wants to provide meals, won’t we get less money? For the same money, wouldn’t it be good to do it ourselves?”
“What do you mean? You don’t think the food is good enough. Okay? I don’t give you the three-piece set at the construction site every day like others!” Most of the employers are cheerful and the food is pretty good.
For example, at noon, there were large pieces of meat and ribs in the dishes, but...
The dark young man gave him a look of grievance:
"Have you never eaten the food cooked by them?"
"If I can eat with them at home, I am willing to pay for another meal every day!"
Good night!
