Dressed as the head of the lazy village

After lying on the bed for two days, Wang Dawei began to feel bored.He didn't need to do the work in the field, and Song Xie was afraid of being teased by him again. He had been avoiding him for the past few days, which made Wang Dawei so boring that he was no different from Xianyu, even because of the injury on his head. Turn around at will.

So Wang Dawei could only lie in bed and plan for the future.With his current state, he must not be able to boil brown sugar himself.Tiredness is one aspect. The process of boiling sugar is smoky and steamy, which is not conducive to wound healing.

Fortunately, he originally planned to teach the villagers, but now it's just that the time has come earlier, so it's not too troublesome.

But I still have to politely scold the bastard who hit him in the head.

So while eating, Wang Dawei told Song Xie that he planned to teach the villagers how to make brown sugar and ask Song Xie for his opinion.

Since Song Xie was given a little love by Wang Dawei that day, when facing Wang Dawei, his face blushed and his heart beat from time to time, and now he was even more uncomfortable, poking his head down at the rice grains in the bowl: "It was originally your method, if you want to teach it, just teach it. Tell me what."

Wang Dawei pretended not to know what he was awkward about, and just said: "Isn't it because you are well-informed, can you give me some advice?"

Song Xie was awkward for a long time, Fang said: "Your own idea is very good, don't ask me much."

Indeed, Wang Dawei was ready to teach the villagers how to cook brown sugar. He came to ask Song Xie, just looking for an excuse to talk to Song Xie.

In the past two days, Song Xie basically didn't come to him except when delivering meals, and he was sick in bed, so he couldn't take the initiative to find someone.

Alas, there is still too much work at home.

However, in fact, there is not much work at home that needs Song Xie to take care of...but he is not idle either.Yesterday, Wang Dawei's injury attracted everyone's attention, but today the villagers came back to their senses, and became curious about the silly boy who suddenly wasn't stupid anymore.

From time to time, someone would find an excuse to come to chat with Song Xie.

In ancient times, the entertainment industry was lacking, and it was news that the parents were short-sighted, and it was explosive news that a fool like this suddenly recovered. Everyone wanted to get first-hand news so they could brag to others, which made Song Xi very annoyed.

Thinking about it this way, he agrees with Wang Dawei teaching the method of boiling sugar to the villagers... Can this also divert everyone's attention?

If you have free time to gossip, there is still too little work!

So under Wang Dawei's instruction, Song Xie called Wang Zhuangshan and a few refugees who had ideas, a total of six people.

They were very happy to hear that Wang Dawei would teach them how to cook sugar and give them back their wages.

However, they didn’t know that they were making brown sugar. They thought it was stone honey or an evolved version of stone honey: After they joined the village, they had already heard about the past and present life of the village from the aborigines. Tiangan’er Village was originally made of stone honey. rich.

Many people have even guessed in their minds that sooner or later Wang Dawei will teach them the method of making stone honey and lead the village to create brilliance, but they didn't expect it to be so soon.

But this is also a good thing, everyone happily agreed, and immediately started to lift the stone reel from the backyard of the Wang family, and went to the mountain to cut new wood for repair.

It's a pity that the village is too poor and has no livestock, but the stone roller man can also pull it, but it's just a little harder.

There were some signs just now, and before the stone reel was repaired, the villagers heard the news.Some people really feel uncomfortable. Working for Wang Dawei's family can not only learn the craft, but Wang Dawei also pays the wages!

But the refugees didn't dare to speak out because of their feelings, and the villagers had nothing to dare to say, so a few people came to Wang Dawei's door.

Wang Dawei didn't understand what they were up to: "I just want you to make money, all of you won't smoke or move, and I can order you around?"

The few villagers mentioned were a little embarrassed: "Why are you so lazy..."

Wang Dawei rolled his eyes, "I don't know you yet? You are all foxes of a thousand years old, so don't sing Liaozhai with me. Drying stone honey is a handicraft handed down from our village ancestors. If you really want to do it, I don't need to organize people." , Ask your own elders to learn first. If you really want to do it, go aside, my family is full of helpers, don't be here to block the eyes and make my wound hurt."

Several villagers looked at each other in blank dismay, and once again realized that the village chief was no longer the easy-to-handle village chief, so they had no choice but to leave in despair, only Wang Xiaoer stayed.

"What are you still doing? You've changed your mind and plan to be a hardworking person?" Wang Dawei glanced at him.

"That's not it! I didn't even intend to take work for myself!" Wang Xiaoer waved his hands repeatedly, asking him to do a job seemed to kill him. "But the village chief, if you hire refugees to work, you can't favor one over the other..."

Wang Xiaoer scratched his head: "My father-in-law is also very capable..."

Wang Dawei glanced at him in surprise, this man actually came to speak for the refugees living in his family.You must know that these villagers are not for their own benefit, they have always been too lazy to even go out, and they are unwilling to walk. Today, they actually came to their homes for refugees.

Wang Xiaoer was also a little embarrassed when he said: "My wife said that my father-in-law has fought with people from other villages because of me, and I have to act like a son-in-law... My mother also said this Lier."

It is not easy to get Mrs. Wang to agree.

However, only Wang Xiaoer's family was the one who spoke.In the final analysis, this is still Zhao Qiuqiu's ability.Wang Dawei had another thought in his mind, and he still said: "I have five acres of sugarcane, and everyone will learn it. It's just that they come in batches. This time it's Wang Zhuangshan and the others. Next time it will be their turn." Your husband is gone."

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, he also felt that he could explain to his wife, so he left happily.

Wang Dawei didn't mean to bluff him, he planned to let the villagers willing to work, one by one, a team of six, and a team of two to learn how to boil sugar until the whole village learned it.

This year, the family only pays them a small amount of money for their labor. In October, when the Luo Han beans are harvested, all the dry land will be planted with sugar cane. Next year, they will be allowed to boil sugar by themselves, and then Wang Dawei will come forward to negotiate business with various drugstores, and take [-]% of the profits—— He didn't teach his skills in vain.

After a year of doing this, every family of the refugees can afford to build a new house, and he can earn income without having to boil sugar himself and do manual work.After all, Wang Dawei thinks that he is still a person who relies on his appearance... No, a person who relies on his brain for food, and doing physical work is not his strong point.

As soon as the stone reel was repaired this afternoon, Wang Dawei asked Wang Zhuangshan and others to go to the field to cut some sugar cane.

"It doesn't need to be too much, cut a dozen or so, a little more than a hundred catties..." The sugarcane in the field is thick, about ten catties a piece, with plenty of juice, and with a stone reel, a hundred catties of sugarcane can Squeeze out about [-] catties of sugarcane juice.

The big iron pots used by people in the village can hold fifty catties in one pot.

Wang Dawei asked the group of six to discuss by themselves, two by two, one group went to the mountain to chop firewood, one group was responsible for squeezing sugarcane juice, and the other group boiled sugar. They took turns to ensure that everyone could learn each step.

The daily wages are the same, and each person is given five Wen a day.It’s quite a lot in the village. Gein squeezed juice and boiled sugar are all physical work, and he can’t stop for a moment, which consumes energy.

After listening to his arrangement, everyone felt that it was very reasonable. There was no competition, and the order was properly arranged.In the early morning of the next day, under Wang Dawei's command, the six people began to boil sugar, starting with squeezing the juice.

With the stone reel, the speed and efficiency of juicing have been greatly improved.A group of people has a clear division of labor, one person pulls the stone reel, and the other takes a rest while skimming off foam and impurities. After half an hour, they take turns.

People in the village who were free also came to watch.They have already heard from Wang Xiaoer that they will have the opportunity to learn in the future, but they are still very envious of these first batch of students, so they stand aside and observe.

Looking at it, some people thought that the stone reel looked familiar: "There seems to be one in the backyard of our house?" It was randomly piled up in the backyard by the master's house where they were staying. They thought it was a waste stone moved lazily, and the wood on it Oops, I can't see the shape...

Wang Dawei said: "Yes, it stands to reason that the village used to make stone honey, and every household in this Shilu village has it. If you have time, you can go to the mountain to chop some wood and trim it in advance. Juicing will take time. If you can get two stone honey It saves a lot of time to extract the juice together with the reel.”

It took him a whole day to squeeze more than [-] catties of sugarcane before, but at that time he used a stone mill, which was indeed slower...

As soon as these words were said, many people moved their minds and stopped watching, but went to repair their own stone reels.

And Wang Dawei also went into the house to rest after instructing several times on how to skim the froth and precipitate impurities.Although he felt that he was in good health, Gu Shi and Song Xie were still nervous. In order to reassure them, he had no choice but to stay in bed "sick".

Not only did he leave by himself, but he also called the group responsible for boiling sugar away.When they are busy in the afternoon, let's take a rest for now. Besides, juicing is not a complicated process, it is just a labor-intensive repetitive operation, and there is nothing to watch.

Not long after, the woodcutter also came back and was also called by Wang Dawei to rest.The woodcutter group was also responsible for lighting the fire, and they had to stay busy until midnight.

After all, the stone reel is a professional juicer, which is much easier to use than the stone mill. At the end of the day (around 50 o'clock in the afternoon), more than [-] catties of sugarcane juice can be squeezed out.After another precipitation and filtration, everything was healed at the end of the day, and the two carefully asked Song Xie to go in and ask Wang Dawei to come out.

Song Xie actually supported him carefully, making Wang Dawei feel like an old Buddha...

"It's okay." Wang Dawei checked the sugarcane juice and sighed in his heart. It would be better to get some gauze to filter it if there is a chance in the future.Only use the sedimentation method to filter, not to mention that the filter is not clean, and some sugarcane juice will be wasted.

However, Wang Dawei was careful in the cloth shop before, and did not see any fabrics such as gauze.I don't know if it's not available in this era, or the Taiqiong cloth shop in Miaozhu Prefecture didn't buy it.

But this is only in comparison with modern mechanical filtration processes.Compared with the ancient craft, it has been filtered very well and is clear.

Wang Dawei asked the two juicers to go back to rest, and it will be their turn to boil sugar next time.But neither of these two people wanted to leave, and they wanted to observe and study even if they were too tired.Wang Dawei did not chase them away.

Pour fifty catties of sugarcane juice into the pot and start boiling.After seeing the heat, Wang Dawei told the two people who boiled the sugar: "You must keep stirring in circles like this, and you can't stop for a moment. If you stop, the syrup will stick to the bottom of the pot. If you feel tired, change shifts and take a rest." That person continued to skim the froth and scoop up impurities."

Several people were extremely nervous and agreed again and again.Wang Dawei stared at them for a moment and felt that there was nothing wrong with them, so he was urged by Song Xie to go back to the house to rest.

I really became an old Buddha now, someone helped me in and out, and someone helped to spread the word... Song Xie didn't let him move for a long time, and ran in and out by himself before reporting to the supervisor, and nothing went wrong.

Due to the large quantity of this pot, it took three and a half hours to boil it.The physical work can still be done by others, but when it comes time to start the pot, Wang Dawei has to do it himself, using a newly bought mold to divide the syrup into small pieces.He calculated the weight and drew a scale on the mould. A piece of condensed brown sugar weighed one or two pounds, and it was about the size of an ink stick sold in a bookstore. It was very delicate and lovely.

A group of onlookers were shocked. This, this is Shi Mi?It doesn't look like it!This looks very high-end and expensive! !
