When Li Mo was given the cold shoulder by her sisters-in-law while having dinner at her parents' house, she had thought about marrying someone else and raising her three little ones as someone else's sons.
The guy her parents wanted to introduce to her was a 40-year-old unmarried man. It was said that he couldn't have children himself, so he would be good to the three little ones.
But she couldn't bear to let Xiang Jing's child recognize someone else as his father.
"Sister-in-law, please don't say that. If it weren't for you and the three little ones, this family would have fallen apart.
You are all I have. If we all work hard together, our lives will get better and better."
Forget about those annoying relatives. Every family has a few poor relatives who beg for money.
It doesn't mean they can't get some benefits if they behave themselves, but those who don't behave themselves should get as far away as possible.
“We are the only ones here, Captain Huo is so good to you.
I've given you so much money to spend as you please, but you must be nicer to me in the future. Don't leave such a good husband."
Don’t think about that idiot Zhang Hao. I didn’t see it before, but now I think he is a fool.
Xiangnan was already married to someone else, but he came over and said in front of so many people in the village that Xiangnan liked him and asked Xiangnan to divorce her husband and live with him. Is this something a human being can do?
Xiangnan chuckled, "Not leaving, not leaving, unless my Captain Huo wants to leave."
Men are like seasoning to her. Having them can add flavor, but not having them doesn't matter.
Huo De has always been good to her, so she lives a sweet life with him.
If Huo De is cold to her, she can still treat him with respect. If he meets someone else he likes, she can also divorce him. Anyway, the money is in her hands, hehe.
Whatever she earned was hers, and in the divorce, Hodder could only take what was his.
Xiangnan's argument made Li Mo suddenly understand a truth: as long as she has it in her hands, men are really not that important.
Even if Xiang Jing is gone, as long as she can make money, she can still live a good life, raise the three little ones and help them grow up. Just thinking about it is very promising.
As expected, Xu Mei came the next day, bringing only two sets of clothes for changing and nothing else.
What she had in mind was that Xiangnan's family had everything, so she could just use hers.
Xiangnan wouldn't bother with her about these things. As long as she didn't have any bad intentions, these were all trivial matters.
Not to mention Xu Mei coming to ask for a job, even Xiangnan's parents' relatives came, including his uncle, aunt, cousins, and other relatives who had not been in contact with him much since his parents passed away.
Anyway, Xiangnan didn’t know anyone. One said he was uncle, and the other said he was aunt.
When she was a child and was so hungry that she vomited bile, they never came forward to recognize her as their relative. It was Xiang Jing who raised her by doing hard labor for others.
She doesn't give any face to her uncles or aunts and treats them all equally.
First of all, the land she occupied belonged to the village, so the recruitment gave priority to people from the village, no matter who your relatives were.
Second, those who have a good reputation and are diligent in the village will be given priority.
The only one left is Xu Mei, who has connections.
Ten people were quickly selected.
Xiangnan promised that those who were not selected this time would be given priority in the next recruitment, so everyone can only wait for the next recruitment.
Ten people chose two people to peel and soak the soybeans.
Five people grind the soybeans, and two people filter out the soy milk.
Drying alone.
After all, Xu Mei is Li Mo's sister-in-law, so Xiangnan arranged for her to do the easiest task of peeling and soaking soybeans.
Xiangnan is hesitant to let others make the bean curd sheets by boiling soy milk, as this is the key to making bean curd sheets, and he is afraid that the method will be stolen if outsiders do it.
It's still her, Li Mo and Zhou Xiumei who are the three of them. They will have to work hard for the next three months. After three months, the production method will be made public and others can make it.
Li Mo and Zhou Xiumei had no objections. The more they worked, the more they would be paid and the more they would earn. They both wished they could stay in the kitchen all day.
The workshop has not been fully built yet, and the bean grinders are all arranged in the open space next to it.
A tile shed was built, a stone mill was placed on it, and several hundred kilograms of soybeans were piled in the shed.
The production started the next day. The soybeans had been peeled and soaked overnight. Five people ground the beans together, chatting while doing their work.
The villagers who had nothing to do also came to watch the fun and chat together. The tile shed was very lively.
Xiangnan didn't care. How they worked was their business. As long as they could help her produce a thousand kilograms of soy milk a day, it was fine.
It takes about 200 kilograms of soybeans to make 1,000 kilograms of soy milk. It is enough for five people to grind 40 kilograms of soybeans each a day.
She asked the tofu maker in town and learned that each person in their family could grind 60 kilograms of soybeans a day.
Lower the standards to the south and let people grind 40 kilograms of soybeans a day.
This standard is very comfortable for the villagers, and each person can easily produce 40 kilograms of beans.
The five bean grinders did not push each other around. Although Xiangnan stipulated that 1,000 kilograms of soy milk should be produced, 1,200 kilograms were produced on the first day.
There was so much soy milk that it filled five large water tanks.
Fortunately, Xiangnan bought a large water tank when he bought the water pipe that day, otherwise he wouldn’t know where to put so much soy milk.
Xiangnan felt a little overwhelmed looking at so much soy milk. The big pot at home could only cook about fifty pounds at a time. In order to steam the cake, the family added two more big pots, making a total of three big pots.
There are three stoves in the kitchen, but in this case, each person has to cook soy milk at least seven or eight times, which means they have to cook bean curd sheets for a long time!
Xiangnan, Li Mo and Zhou Xiumei squatted in front of the stove until late at night.
Xiangnan comforted them, saying, "Although we are very tired, we have made 600 kilograms of bean curd sheets today. After we dry them overnight, they will be able to be turned into money tomorrow!
When the workshop is built, we will build more stoves and use large stainless steel barrels instead of pots to cook. This will save a lot of time."
Li Mo and Zhou Xiumei didn't feel tired at all: "Xiangnan, if you are tired, we can do it together from now on. We think it's okay, it just takes some time."
To cook soy milk, you just need to take out the top layer. It’s a very simple job, much easier than farming. You just need to keep an eye on the pot all the time.
You can earn fifty or sixty yuan by working hard for seven or eight hours. What can't you do? Where else can you make so much money?
Xiangnan gave them a commission of ten cents per pound of bean curd sheets.
Xiangnan was embarrassed. When she returned to her room, she asked Captain Huo to help her loosen her bones. She said aggrievedly, "I'm such a weakling. I feel so tired after doing such a small amount of work.
My sister-in-law and Aunt Zhou were very happy with their work and didn't feel tired at all."
