Chapter 68: Building a Vermicelli Workshop
During the time they lived in the village, An An and Ning Ning were very happy. They went to the river to fish and climbed trees to look for bird eggs every day.
It was as if I had returned to the days in the valley.
Su Weixi was thinking about how to transform Zhuangzi.
It is probably too late to grow the fruits and vegetables I want to grow this year, so other crops are now planted in the fields.
The autumn harvest season will be here in less than a month, and all plans will have to wait until the harvest is over.
The main crops planted in the fields now are the various high-yield crops that the Su family had previously provided. This year, there is a new owner, and Shi Zhuangtou came to ask Su Ma what plans she had for this year's harvest.
"How was it handled in previous years?" Su Ma looked at the head of the village. For a moment she didn't know how to deal with it. She could only ask about the previous handling methods and then make plans.
"Before, the young general left some for the farm to eat and some for the general's residence, and most of it was transported to the military camp." The head of the farm answered truthfully.
Sent to the military camp? I guess the young general was replenishing the military camp's food and fodder.
Her family definitely couldn't consume so much, and Su's mother was a little troubled.
Su Weixi looked at the worried-looking Su Ma, and had a plan in his mind about these things. He planned to let the head of the village leave first, and then he would discuss it with Su Ma.
"Tou Shizhuang, go down and do your work first. My mother will tell you when she has thought it through." Su Weixi ordered.
"Yes, ma'am, I'll be busy now."
"Go, go." Su Ma was worried, so she waved her hand and asked the village head to leave first.
"Mom, this isn't a difficult matter to handle. I have two plans. Why don't you listen to them first?"
"Girl, just tell me what you think. How can I not listen?" Su Ma looked at her daughter speechlessly. She just liked to watch the fun every day.
"The first solution is that we will still handle this year's harvest in the same way as in previous years. As for the part that will be sent to the military camp, let my father tell Xiao Yi. After all, this year's harvest was planted before our family received the farm."
Su Weixi proposed the first solution.
The Su family does not lack this little harvest. Since Xiao Yi gave such a big farm to their family, it is understandable that they send this year's harvest to the General's Mansion.
"Your idea is good, but I'm afraid the young general will not accept it. This child is honest and must think that since the farmland was given to our family, the harvest should also belong to our family."
Su Ma initially thought this was a good idea, but when she thought about Xiao Yi's personality, she felt that it might not be feasible.
"Then listen to the second solution." Su Weixi said, blinking his big eyes.
Su Weixi’s second solution was to continue delivering the food, but in a different form.
These high-yield crops have been promoted in recent years and have spread throughout Dasheng.
However, people's way of eating these things is still at the stage of directly steaming and boiling them. I believe that there will be overproduction in the next one or two years.
Su Weixi plans to build several workshops to process these agricultural products into agricultural and sideline products.
"Are you talking about processing potatoes and sweet potatoes into vermicelli?" Su Ma had experience in modern life and had read a lot of farming articles, so she immediately understood Su Weixi's plan.
"Yes, mother, if we build a workshop on the farm, it can also help the tenants on the farm earn more income. If they are willing, they can come to the workshop to work. At worst, they can sell their extra sweet potatoes and potatoes to us and exchange them for some money."
"Well, that's good. You write a plan first, and then let your father or you arrange for the village head to build the workshop." Su Ma has always been able to let her husband and daughter worry about things, and she would never get involved.
"Okay, I'll go write the plan now.
Su Weixi was very quick in execution and she had written the plan in less than two days.
Then he took it out to discuss with Su's father and mother to see if there were any places that needed to be changed. After Su's father and mother mentioned some places that needed to be changed, Su Weixi went to find the housekeeper and the head of the village.
"Miss, are you talking about building a vermicelli workshop?" Shi Zhuangtou was very surprised by the idea proposed by the young lady of the new master's family.
"Yes, that's right. Butler Sun, you and the head of the village should go and see where in the village is suitable to build a workshop, and arrange people to build it as soon as possible. These are the drawings and the necessary tools." Su Weixi handed the drawings in his hand to the butler one by one.
"Yes, Miss." The butler took the drawing respectfully.
"All expenses will be paid through the government account."
"Yes." Butler Sun agreed again.
"Miss, what is this vermicelli? I have never heard of it." The village head was afraid that he would be scolded by the master if he failed to do what Su Weixi asked him to do.
"Don't worry about these. Just follow my instructions and you will know later." Su Weixi didn't plan to explain too much for the time being. Even if he explained, the village head might not understand.
"Yes, Miss." Zhuangtou suppressed his doubts and stopped asking.
"Here is the plan for the village next year. I have written down what to plant in that area. You will follow this when the time comes."
Su Weixi handed it to the village head.
The village head took the paper and read its contents carefully.
The more he read it, the less reliable it seemed, because he didn't recognize a lot of the things on it. He recognized the words, but he had never heard of the things written on them.
"Miss, I have never heard of the crops you wrote about, such as strawberries, lemons, cherries, and peppers. I'm afraid I won't be able to find them when the time comes." The village head said after hesitating for a while.
"Don't worry about these. I will have the butler deliver them next year. You just need to divide the areas according to the drawings."
After hearing this, Shi Zhuangtou said nothing more. The drawings were clearly marked. Anyway, it didn't occupy the main arable land and would not affect the main harvest of the village, so let the young lady do it.
Because Su Weixi instructed that the workshop must be completed before the autumn harvest, the construction period was quite tight.
The steward and the head of the village not only selected workers from the tenants of the village to build the workshop, but also recruited many young and strong people from nearby villages to work.
Everyone rushed to sign up because not only were there wages, but the Su family also provided three meals.
Each meal consisted of two dishes and a soup, one meat dish and one vegetable dish, a large bowl of brown rice, and two mixed-wheat cakes. A day's work not only provided food, but also earned money. This was a job that could not be found even in the city.
At the beginning, some people were reluctant to eat such delicious food, and always secretly hid it and took it home, wanting to let the elderly and children at home have a taste of it.
It was not until later when Su's father came to inspect that he discovered this and ordered the village head that every meal must be eaten at the village. Otherwise, it would be bad if the workers did not have the energy to work or fainted from exhaustion or hunger at the construction site.
But if they were to eat such good food every day, they would probably feel uncomfortable eating wild vegetables at home. So Su's father asked the maid in charge of meals to add some minced meat to the pancakes, and allowed them to take home the pancakes they were given every day if they could not finish them.
The tenants and villagers who were working knew that this was the master's care for them, and that they now had plenty of food and oil every day, so they worked even harder.
Finally, the workshop was successfully completed before the autumn harvest.
