The quantity of fruit is not enough. All the family members are dispatched, so it is estimated that there will not be enough for use.

The cellar has been repaired, which frees up the second son to help pick fruits, but it is not enough for him to come by himself.

Xu Zhang's mouth smacked, "Jiaojiao, we don't have enough manpower. We've taken on this job. You're too tired, so why don't we just not take it on?"

But if you don’t accept it, it’s all money falling from the sky!

What a pity not to pick it up!

Xu Laosi was looking forward to taking over these jobs. Anyway, he would give away a hundred tubes, and he would also give away three hundred tubes. But the more he gave away, the more oil and water would be involved in the shipment. His mother-in-law had done some research.

It's been a few days, but I still haven't learned how to make loquat paste. I'm as stupid as a donkey, so I have to rely on getting some delivery oil.

Everyone looked at Xu Jiaojiao.

Xu Jiaojiao pondered for a moment, "Took it. Go and collect the fruit. It costs one penny for five kilograms of fruit. You also need labor to peel the fruit. It costs one penny to peel five kilograms of fruit. How much you peel is calculated as labor. There is a stove in the kitchen, plus five stoves."

Taiwan, let’s cook it together, mother, you, I, Erya, and the three of us will cook it together. Erya, Erya, the second sister-in-law, and the fourth sister-in-law are in charge of the firewood in the stove. We can earn as much as we can!”

"Mom, my little sister is smart. She is born to do business. She is decisive, courageous, has methods and ideas. My sister and my fourth brother all admire you." Xu Laosi was full of praise.

In such a short time, Xu Jiaojiao thought so comprehensively and thoughtfully.

It's really rare.

Mrs. Xu Zhang was also reluctant to part with the money that was falling from the world. Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao was so considerate, she agreed.

"Okay, just listen to Jiaojiao!"

There is no need to worry about the source of the fruit. There is a wild fruit forest on the top of a mountain, but no one is picking it.

Many family members used to pick them and sell them in the town. After a few days, they couldn't sell them. Now they don't sell them anymore. Only the old Xu family sends people into the mountains to pick the fruits every day.

If you pay to collect the fruits, everyone in the village will probably go out to pick them.

It is easier to find workers to peel the fruit. There are many idle women, old people and children in the village, so I am not afraid that no one will come.

The only problem is adding a stove. Fortunately, Lao Xu's kitchen is large, so adding three stoves temporarily is not a big problem.

It will be crowded and people will not be able to leave.

By the way, we need to collect some dry firewood...

Xu Zhang took into consideration everything that Xu Jiaojiao had not considered one by one.

The next day, as soon as the news about harvesting fruits spread, sure enough, almost the whole village was motivated to pick fruits. If you go to the mountains to pick five kilograms of wild fruits, you can exchange them for a penny at Lao Xu's house!

An adult with nimble hands and feet can pick hundreds of kilograms of good fruit a day for twenty cents!

Twenty cents! You can buy more than six large meat buns and ten large vegetable buns. If you only buy whole grains, you can feed the family for several days.

In the past, people in the village picked fruits and sold them in the town. Very few of them were sold, and most of them were not picked. If they were picked, it would be a waste.

Now when the old Xu family talks about harvesting fruits, almost the whole village goes out to pick fruits.

Soon people from the village came to Lao Xu’s house to sell fruits!

Xu Jiaojiao took a look and found that it was completely unqualified, so she came up with a new rule.

You want good ripe fruits, pick good quality fruits, those on the top of the tree, only the big ones, the small ones that are green and yellow, only bitter and astringent are not harvested, and only two thousand kilograms are harvested every day, they must be picked fresh on the same day.

, don’t even want anything that’s not fresh.

Then, the people who peel the fruit are also young and middle-aged women who are selected with quick hands and feet. They don't care about food, and their wages are calculated according to the amount of labor. One penny is used to peel five kilograms! One day to peel a hundred kilograms is twenty pence.

Pay wages on the same day.

Women also came in droves to apply for part-time jobs.

Xu Zhang was responsible for the job of selecting people, and they were all capable young and middle-aged women. Of course, the families she had seen selling fruit secretly at the market, such as Xu Chengju, Xu Xuehua and others,

I don’t want any of them.

They are all young wives who are honest and responsible.

Some dry firewood was also collected, and five stoves were set up in the kitchen.

Xu Jiaojiao looked after five stoves by herself. Xu Zhang asked Yuanshi, Luoshi, Erya, Sanya and others to help Xu Jiaojiao. When it came to the critical moment of making sugar and paying debts, they were not allowed to handle it.

Xu Jiaojiao is good at it alone.

It was very busy every day, and one delivery ox cart was not enough, so another one was rented.

Xu Laoer also followed to catch the truck and deliver the goods.

Xu Zhang's imagination that he would be in a hurry with so many orders did not happen. Instead, he was very organized. The amount of three hundred tubes of loquat paste every day was just a little too much. The excess was stored in the cellar. Loquat dew is not easy to store.

You can brew as much as you need on that day. Loquats are heavy and cheap, so it’s not advisable to save too much.

Every day, Xu Zhang's happiest time is when Xu Laosi and the others come back to pay money in the afternoon.

Mrs. Xu Zhang's hands cramped when she counted the money. There were only a small number of ten taels. After deducting various costs, there were still seven or eight taels in a mess.

People were coming and going in front of Lao Xu's house.

Many people come to sell fruit, and Koshiro is responsible for controlling the quality. He clearly distinguishes what kind of fruit is good and what kind of fruit is bad. He will accept the good ones and not accept the bad ones.

The people who came to sell fruit were all men, and there were also many women lingering in front of Lao Xu's house.

They all came here to apply for the job of peeling fruit.

This is controlled by Mrs. Xu Zhang, who picks and peels the fruit according to her liking.

Luo Shi was tall and greedy, but at least she was very strong and had big shoulders and round waist. There were no fruits in the yard, so she went out to ask for the fruits from Koshiro, carried them in, and the big guy peeled them.

As soon as I walked out of the courtyard, I was surrounded by several middle-aged women.

They are all the wives of the ordinary neighbors.

"Hey, noble wife, noble wife, you must be tired! Take a break and talk!"

"Daughter-in-law, do you still have a fruit peeler in your family? I heard Aunt Li say that she made fifteen cents by peeling fruits at your house yesterday. Is it true?"

"Is there still a shortage of people to peel the fruit? What do you think of me? I'm very agile. Based on our friendship, can you help me arrange a place or something?"

…

Luo Shi has already experienced this kind of formation in the past two days.

"That must be true! The price set by our sister, peeling five kilograms of fruit is one penny. Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern. Only our old Xu family has it. Yesterday, Aunt Li peeled it for fifteen cents.

, the daughter-in-law of Gouzi’s family got eighteen pence from it, and the daughter-in-law of Laizi’s family got twenty pence…”

Luo Shi counted them one by one, and everyone watched eagerly.

His eyes were so eager that they seemed to be on fire.

Twenty cents!

If you buy whole grains, your whole family can eat them for several days!

Still the kind of person who has enough control!

The men in the family go to pick fruits and sell them. There is a limit on the number of kilograms of fruits that can be harvested per day. In addition, the women cannot climb trees, so they cannot all pick fruits. However, if they can find a job peeling fruits, they can earn ten or twenty cents a day.
