Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 162 Subjective initiative (seeking monthly pass)
Junmei was young and her composure was beginning to show. Although she was a little nervous when facing so many people for the first time, she quickly regained her composure and said slowly:
"Children under the age of 15 and over the age of five can sign up with me, and the class will start tomorrow."

Seeing this, Wang Youliang didn't want to be outdone, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Those who want to go to the factory come to me, there is no limit to the number of people, male or female!"

Perhaps in the eyes of the villagers, the various behaviors of the host family are incomprehensible, but thinking of the food and warm cashmere sweaters, they actively stepped forward to sign up.

The factory had the most work points, and many people rushed in at once.

It wasn't until Lu Meng reminded everyone with his personal experience that blacksmithing is not so easy, that everyone's blind passion returned to reason.

Most of the women choose to make woolen sweaters at Xu Erniang's, because they can work in a warm room with earth dragons.

And it is easier to make clothes, which is more suitable for those who can do needlework.

Xu Dalang quickly filled up the people he wanted. After all, there are more work points, so there is still an advantage.

The rest of the older ones didn't know what to do, so Xu Yue arranged for them and Ah San to dig mud and make bricks, which were to be used to build a kang, and their work points were calculated according to the quantity they made.

For a moment, Zhuangzi, who was originally lifeless, suddenly became active because of the busy people.

People get hot when they exercise, and the howling cold wind doesn't seem so harsh anymore.

The women in the village followed suit by learning imitation wool and knitting sweaters. The more they learned, the better the sweaters became.

After several days of observation, some of the women felt that Xu Erniang should be more talkative, so they boldly asked her if they could just buy wool and go home to knit sweaters by themselves.

It costs 200 work points to get a set of sweaters, and 150 work points are cheaper for children.

If there are three members of a family, the man earns 9 work points a day, the woman earns 6 work points a day, plus two work points each in the literacy class, a total of 2 work points can be earned a day.

Zhuangzi paid five work points for a catty of grain. Now he has to work and eat more. No matter how he saves a day, he needs 10 work points for two catties of grain. Calculated in this way, if he saves 9 points a day, it takes more than 200 days to work for 20 points.

This is just one person, another adult in the family will take more than 20 days, and the child will take half a month. When the clothes are taken off, the winter will be over and the person will freeze to death.

But if it is cheaper to buy wool and weave it by myself after class at night, I can weave a set in two or three days, and the adults and children in the family can put on clothes earlier.

Xu Erniang was quite surprised when she heard the calculations of the women, she didn't expect them to be able to give full play to the subjective initiative that the young lady said.

This is of course a good thing. It shows that the literacy class has achieved initial results, and these women know how to count.

I still remember that at the beginning, these people couldn't even count how many work points they earned in a day.

"Very good, progress has been made. The young lady said that those who ask questions can get extra points. I will give you five extra work points for each of the three of you." Xu Erniang took out the counting book, waved the charcoal pen, and each of them added five points.

This can be exchanged for a catty of grain. The three women looked at each other in blank dismay, both excited and unbelievable.

After all, on the way to find Xu Erniang, they were prepared to be punished by the master.

Unexpectedly, what the little lady said earlier is actually true, as long as you bravely ask questions, or help Zhuangzi solve the problem, you will be rewarded.

But the second lady hasn't responded yet about the sale of wool.

While the three were happy, they still looked at Xu Erniang anxiously, waiting for her reply.

This matter is related to the pricing of wool. Xu Erniang asked them to go back to work first, and she will reply to them later.

It was an unexpected joy to be able to raise the question and be praised by Xu Erniang, and the three of them did not dare to push any further. Looking at the five new work points added to the counting wooden sign, they went back happily to continue knitting.

Every person who works has a wooden sign in his hand for counting, because extremely fine tools are needed to engrave on the small wooden sign, which prevents the possibility of imitation.

And there is also a total points account book in the hands of their respective stewards. If someone wants to play tricks, they can be found out by a pair of two sides.

Xu Yue's implementation of the wooden sign is also to urge these people to study actively.

If you don't know how to count, you won't be able to tell the difference if the person in charge randomly adds or subtracts points for you.

And with wooden sticks, everyone can directly exchange food, tofu, clothing, charcoal, ceramic bowls and other daily necessities at the newly opened canteen.

Wang Dayou's factory can even make porcelain and glass, so it's not a problem to produce some more delicate pottery bowls and pots than ordinary pottery on the market.

The clothes are not only cashmere sweaters, but also leather jackets and linen clothes.

Some time ago, when the animals were fattening up in autumn, Wang led his subordinate team directly into the mountain for a week of actual combat exercises. The harvest was not small, and the fur and other things were processed and directly made into clothes.

As for the remaining meat, it will be directly added to the trilogy team.

Those who can't finish eating are specially taken to the smokehouse to smoke and make bacon.

Where there is demand, there is a driving force for production. As long as they look at the piles of food and warm clothes in the canteen, the villagers are full of energy.

Soon, the four-meter-wide road that had already been opened up was hammered and compacted by the villagers, and it was no longer concave on the left and convex on the right.

The flat road is very smooth for horses and cars.

On the hillside, under the leadership of Xu Dalang, the men cut back a lot of old wood and were digging a kiln to prepare charcoal.

There was a young man named Shi Shi in the village who was quick at work, worked harder than others, and was also very studious. Xu Dalang counted ten work points for him a day and made him the team leader.

A few days ago, everyone was still a little unfamiliar, and they were afraid when they saw Xu Dalang's cold face, so they didn't dare to go close to look at the important part of charcoal burning.

Because in this era, charcoal-burning handicrafts are generally not passed on to the outside world, and outsiders cannot see it.

They thought it was the Xu family's unique secret, so they were even more cautious.

But Shitou really couldn't bear it today, he really wanted to know why the charcoal Xu Dalang burned was strong and resistant to burning, and there was no smoke.

Therefore, when everyone consciously retreated to avoid it, the stone bit the bullet and leaned forward.

Xu Dalang, who was busy checking the airtightness of the charcoal kiln, turned his head and glanced at him, and Shitou's scalp went numb.

But before he could speak firmly, Xu Dalang beckoned him to come forward to help.

"Go in and check the display inside." Xu Dalang ordered.

Shi Shi hurriedly responded, and got into the left kiln mouth, carefully inspecting the hollowed out and stacked firewood inside.

The trees cut down from the mountain were cut into neat strips, and then overlapped to cover the entire cave dwelling.

The stone was checked, and it was not loose and collapsed, and then drilled out again.
