Traveling through ancient times.
Chapter 58 What happened to the female carpenter?
The next day, many people came to Yunshan Farm to buy wheat seeds. They sold more than a thousand kilograms and made a few taels of silver.
Yunxin wrote down all the items she had purchased to prevent anyone from buying them repeatedly and reselling them.
Several thousand kilograms were sold yesterday afternoon and today, and there are still tens of thousands of kilograms of wheat on the drying mats.
A total of more than 120 acres were planted this time. Even though the soil fertility was insufficient, the yield per acre reached about 800 kilograms.
After deducting those that were sold, there were more than 80,000 kilograms left.
Jiang Yizhou priced these at ten cents per pound.
Today, apart from those who had just bought wheat seeds and stayed in the yard, even those who had bought wheat seeds yesterday and those who came from farther places, all gathered in the yard.
People were talking eagerly, their eyes never leaving the rows of threshers placed under the eaves.
That's right, today the focus is on the thresher.
Anyone who has experienced the rush to harvest wheat in the past two days knows how powerful this thing is. It is simply amazing.
In the past, threshing wheat would create a mess, with a lot of smoke and wheat awns all over the place. Not only was the process slow, it was also very tiring.
Even children can use this machine.
Yes, they want to buy.
Liao Qi led people to maintain order.
Jiang Yizhou was standing on the steps, and next to her were Zhang Ni, Zhang Danniu and Zhang Baosheng.
Jiang Yizhou originally planned to make more threshers and stockpile them, so that he could advertise them during the wheat harvest and sell them all at once.
But because her funds were really tight, not only did she owe bonuses to several of her subordinates, she also didn't pay the workers who came to help her by using wheat seeds.
Even so, there was no more money to buy wood, so these machines were the maximum number that Zhang Ni and others made.
From the first day the thresher was displayed to the public, some people asked how much the machine cost, but Jiang Yizhou uniformly rejected them - let's talk about it after the wheat is harvested.
Now, everyone is waiting here, waiting for Jiang Yizhou's words.
Jiang Yizhou cleared his throat. "First of all, as the current head of the Jiang family, I would like to thank you all for your help in Yunshan Farm. Without you, we would not have been able to complete the construction of the farm so quickly, let alone harvest the wheat so quickly. Thank you all again!"
After Jiang Yizhou finished speaking, he bowed solemnly to everyone in the courtyard.
There was a commotion among the crowd.
If we talk about "help", it should be Miss Jiang who gave them the greatest help.
If she hadn't hired so many people to work last year, ordinary workers would have been able to get a craftsman's salary and have two full meals provided, allowing them to get through the year-end, which would have been very difficult.
After the beginning of the year, Miss Jiang lent them her own oxen for less than one-third of the landlord's money, and even took the initiative to deliberately divert the water channel to their fields...
They were not good at speaking, but they saw and remembered the kindness Miss Jiang had shown them.
Seeing that Miss Jiang actually bowed to them, some sentimental people suddenly had tears in their eyes and said things like "Miss Jiang is a good person" and "Miss Jiang must be blessed".
After a while, everyone calmed down.
Jiang Yizhou continued, "I think everyone has already noticed these threshers. I think everyone's wheat should be harvested in ten days, so I decided to sell these threshers to everyone at a discount."
The crowd cheered again, even more excited than before.
This is the moment they've been waiting for.
Jiang Yizhou raised his hand and made a gesture of suppression. When the voice died down, he said, "But before selling them to everyone, please allow me to introduce the manufacturer of these machines in detail—"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yizhou noticed from the corner of his eye that Zhang Ni, Zhang Danv and Zhang Baosheng, who were already very nervous, tensed up a little.
Especially Zhang Ni and Zhang Da Nv, they were not only excited and nervous, but also felt indescribable uneasiness.
Once upon a time, no matter how hard they tried or how well they did, they could only hide in a dark corner.
All the glory and praise belong to men, and they are not born to deserve it.
And now, the lady let them stand like this in front of everyone.
Just like this... standing in this bright sunshine.
Just like that, accept the scrutiny of countless people.
At this moment, someone in the crowd broke the awkward atmosphere and said, "Miss Jiang, you're not going to tell us that the thresher was made by these two girls, are you?"
As soon as the words fell, someone agreed with dissatisfaction and even contempt: "That's right, what can a girl do."
"If you use something made by a woman, you don't have to worry about bad luck..."
As these harsh voices emerged, the crowd suddenly became a mess. Some people agreed with the statement, some argued for it, and some remained neutral.
Zhang Ni and Zhang Danniu's faces turned red, their heads lowered, and even their backs, which had been straightened with great difficulty, bent down involuntarily.
They were sad, but they had expected this outcome. It had always been like this, hadn't it?
They felt guilty. They had invested so much money, material resources and manpower in these threshers. The young lady could have sold them for a good price, but now...
It’s all their fault!
"Miss, I'm sorry, we..."
Jiang Yizhou patted their backs gently and said, "Stand up straight, I am here and I follow my rules!"
Jiang Yizhou swept her eyes through the crowd. She first respected others, but if others did not respect her, then there was no need to respect them.
She calmly said to Yucui, Yunxin, Liao Qi and the others beside her: "Did you all remember the people who started the trouble just now?"
Several people looked very serious and nodded: "Yes, I've noted it all down."
In fact, although these people are farmers, or even tenant farmers, they are very shrewd inside.
They didn't dare to say anything about Jiang Yizhou openly because they had benefited from him and had to ask him for more help, so how could they dare to offend him?
But it’s different for these two ordinary girls. Their sense of gender superiority is instantly revived.
They deliberately said those words just now, not only to show their gender superiority and consistent "rules", but also to test the bottom line of this Miss Jiang family.
So, while they were bringing up topics and stirring up people's emotions, everyone was actually paying close attention to Jiang Yizhou's every move on the steps.
Naturally, what Jiang Yizhou said in a very calm tone fell into everyone's ears word for word.
In an instant, it brought back everyone's memories.
When Miss Jiang said to "write it down", she really did write it down in the little notebook.
Last year, a few local tyrants thought that a migrant woman who came here would definitely not dare to do anything to the locals, so they deliberately caused trouble.
As a result, he was severely beaten by the young man who had always had a cold face, and it was also written in the notebook - never to be employed again. Even if he begged on his knees, he would never be employed by such a person.
