Chapter 214 Xiaobao Is Bored

When Su Qingyu left, she went to the cloth shop and several other places of residence, but there was no whereabouts of her sister Yaya and Brother Dahu.

Somewhat lost.

He Siyuan and Siyuan took Xiaobao back to the village.

Ruyi, who had just entered the village and was washing clothes in the stream, saw them and greeted them happily: "Miss, you are finally back!"

ah? She didn't delay, she didn't even take a walk around Renzhou City.

"problem occurs?"

Ruyi shook her head, stepped forward to hug Xiaobao, and played with Xiaobao on their foreheads.

He said: "It's okay. It's just that we have collected a lot of tea seeds at home, and we have nowhere to go. Originally, my mother and I wanted to go to the mountains to pick tea fruits, but people brought tea fruits every day, and people came in the morning and afternoon, but we didn't Can't go out."

"Ah, did you collect a lot of tea fruits?"

"A lot. Miss, you will know when you go home and take a look."

So Su Qingyu hurried home, and then she walked in and saw, Huo, how many tea fruits have been collected!

The front yard of my house is already full of tea seeds, stacked two or three layers high. Lu leaned over the pile of tea fruits and almost lost sight of her.

"Miss, you are finally back!"

As expected of two mother and daughter, they both said exactly the same thing.

"All the money has been spent?"

"That's not true. There are still some left. Even tea seeds are sent to each village, and there is almost no room to store them at home. I don't know how the young lady is doing in the city. What if no one wants it. So. "It's so much. If I hold it in my hand, I feel sad just thinking about it."

Su Qingyu comforted her and said, "It's okay. Don't worry. It's all settled. Besides, this is oil. If we can't sell it, why can't we squeeze it out and keep it for ourselves?"

Lu almost fell to the ground.

How much oil can be obtained from so many tea seeds? If you drink water, you won’t be able to finish it in the next year. It's better to sell it quickly.

Not long after Su Qingyu, Xiaobao and the others arrived home, people came one after another to sell tea fruits.

"Ms. Su, are you here? How wonderful is that?"

Su Qingyu smiled at the visitor: "I'm not here, don't you dare to give it away?"

The visitor smiled sheepishly: "That's not true. Everyone feels uneasy when you're not here, just because they're afraid that the wrong delivery was made. Is it really four cents a pound?"

The question was asked cautiously, for fear that Su Qingyu would change her mind and have to take it back.

Su Qingyu nodded: "Yes, just four cents per pound. If you are worried about the trouble of shelling, you can also send fruits."

"No trouble, no trouble. There are old people and children at home, and we can peel it at night."

Just kidding, fruit costs only one penny per catty, but if you peel it, it costs four pence per catty. Although it takes three kilograms of fruit to get one kilogram of seeds, the effort is not worth it. What's wrong with them going to the mountains to pick tea fruits during the day and earning a penny at home at night?

Su Qingyu also hopes to receive tea seeds. There is no manpower at home to peel the shells. Giving her tea seeds will save her a lot of worry.

But I'm afraid that everyone won't be able to peel it off cleanly, and I'm afraid that it won't be properly aired, which will affect the oil yield.

Su Qingyu started looking through the pile of tea seeds.

I took Lu Shi and Ruyi with me and told them how to check and screen while watching. They should not accept tea seeds that are not up to standard, or are bad and shriveled. Don't affect your credibility or future cooperation with the caravan.

And some tea seeds obviously don’t have enough drying time. Some are not yet fully mature.

Immature fruits have high water content and tea seeds have low oil content. But you want the villagers to stop picking and wait? Who knows if it will be yours to keep next time. This may be difficult to implement.

But it won’t work if you don’t say it.

Su Qingnao asked Siyuan and Siyuan to move all the dried camellia seeds to the warehouse and store them in a ventilated and dry place.

He also told Lu and Ruyi that after a while, when the oil content reaches the highest level, they should take it out and dry it again for one to two days. Only such tea seeds can be delivered to caravans.

Lu and Ruyi wrote it down very seriously.

For several days, Su Qingyu received the goods at home. He looked carefully at the tea seeds picked up by the mountain people.

"You should have picked these tea fruits before they were ripe. If there were any oddities, I would have turned a blind eye, but you have too many. I can't just give you four cents per pound."

"No, Madam Su. We didn't know this before. Do you think we can let it go this time? We'll know as soon as you say it. We won't pick this kind of fruit next time." The man begged Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu glanced at him. He had never seen this person in the village. He was probably from another village.

These days, almost all the people carrying the burden are men. The women are quick-footed and probably pick fruits in the mountains, while the men do hard work.

There were several men next to them, and they also had some immature tea seeds.

They all came together to beg.

Su Qingyu thought about it and forgot about it.

It's true that she didn't make the standards clear to everyone before. Then she told her the standards for receiving goods. A tin of immature tea seeds costs half as much. It’s a matter of personal interest, so I probably won’t pick green fruits.

"Thank you, Mrs. Su. Next time we will know what kind of fruits to pick. We will also dry them according to your instructions."

Throughout the whole day, from the moment Su Qingyao opened her eyes, people came one after another to deliver tea seeds, almost continuously throughout the day.

She, Lu and Ruyi took the trouble to explain to everyone the standards for harvesting tea seeds. After talking for a day, my throat was filled with smoke.

The oil yield rate of immature tea seeds is not even 20%. The one with the highest oil yield is nearly 30%, which is really a big difference. Although she was selling oil now, she couldn't just pretend she didn't know and leave the matter to the caravan.

This not only affects the oil yield, but also affects her reputation. If the oil yield rate of the tea seeds collected by the caravan from other places is better than hers in the future, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Been busy for a few days.

That day, Su Qingmei turned her head and saw Xiaobao sitting at the gate of the courtyard, supporting Xiaopang's hand, holding Xiaopang's fist against his chin, and looking out in a trance.

This look of a contemplative person amused Su Qingmei.

After being happy, she couldn't help feeling sad.

The adults were busy for a few days and had no time to accompany him. The children in the village didn't come to the house anymore, they all accompanied the adults to the mountains to pick tea fruits or peeled fruits at home. There were no older children to play with Xiaobao, and he was locked in the house every day, feeling lonely.

Seeing that the adults were busy, he was sensible and didn't disturb them. He played quietly by himself. When he got tired of playing, he sat at the gate of the courtyard and looked out.

His small body sat on the door step, and Xiaopang's hands sometimes couldn't support his head. When Xiaopang's hands slipped, his head fell...

Su Qingmei walked over with a distressed look.

She squatted down in front of him.

"What is Xiaobao looking at?"

"Mom." He rushed over to hug her.

Su Qing'an picked him up and turned to sit in the place where he had just sat: "Xiaobao hasn't told mother what he was looking at just now."

Xiaobao rubbed against her shoulder: "Mom, where are my brothers and sisters? Xiaobao has candy."

After saying that, he patted the small shoulder bag that Su Qing'an made for him.

It was small, and it contained food that Su Qing'an and Lu made for him.

A few days ago, he went to Renzhou, and Ma prepared a lot of food, drinks and daily necessities for him, and brought them all back for him. He has no shortage of candy now.

But Su Qing'an didn't let him eat too much, only one or two a day. He was also sensible and not greedy.

Leave it in the small shoulder bag to be eaten by the brothers and sisters who came to play with him before.
