A stone is rolled over by an oxcart to remove the shell.
The old man couldn't stop smiling.
One family spent a little over an hour and received five coins.
Thanks to the efforts of the whole family, most of Chen Xian's wheat has been husked, and all that's left is to winnow it.
It involves scooping up the wheat with a wooden shovel, then forcefully shaking it in the wind to easily separate the dust and chaff.
A coarse cloth sheet was laid underneath.
Chen Xian tried it out, scattering the wheat everywhere.
Any material exceeding the coarse cloth sheet must be collected with a broom.
Dazhu was heartbroken. "Dad, take a rest..."
Chen Xian: "It's okay, I can't let you do all the housework."
Dazhu: "But..."
His gaze fell upon the wheat that had rolled everywhere.
Erzhu calmly said, "Father, why don't you sit there and rest for a while? My elder brother thinks you've done a terrible job."
Dazhu's face turned bright red as he waved his hands, saying, "I didn't mean that, Father, I didn't..."
Chen Xian: Erzhuzi knows how to hurt people.
I decided to relax alone under the poplar tree.
For lunch, the Chen family ate steamed noodles with green beans and lots of oil. After a long day of work, every pore of their body was desperately absorbing the oil.
The Chen family is having a meeting.
They said that once the wheat harvest was over, the Chen family would continue with some business.
Erzhu was the first to raise his hand.
"Dad, I think there might be a problem with our family business."
Chen Xian gestured.
Erzhu: "Look at our noodles, they're doing alright. We can make twenty or thirty coins a pound of noodles. But if we sell tea eggs, preserved eggs, and century eggs at three coins a pound, we'll only make one coin. That's too little."
Chen Xian nodded.
"That's right. At the time, we were only thinking about making a little money, and we didn't calculate the costs clearly. We also needed lime, salt, and alkali, and bay leaves also had costs."
Dazhu smiled憨厚ly: "Maybe it was because Dad said that the old woman gave it to us for free, and we thought it didn't cost anything."
Chen Xian nodded with a gentle smile.
"That's right. That's how business is. It's impossible for every plan to be under your control, and it's impossible for every idea to be good. We are constantly moving forward, exploring and changing."
This is also my first time doing business, so making mistakes is inevitable. My eldest and second sons deserve praise. As the saying goes, many hands make light work; with everyone contributing their ideas, we were able to quickly correct and improve our shortcomings.
Upon hearing the praise, Dazhu's dark face gradually turned red.
Hey, Dad's praising himself.
From now on, I should also be like my second brother and offer good advice.
Erzhu nodded calmly, lowered his head, and a slight smile played on his lips.
Chen Xian's thoughts drifted away. He would definitely continue to buy the fragrant leaves from Chating Village, while many merchants were still not paying attention, as well as the chili peppers.
What kind of business are they actually in?
Someone shouted, "Help! My piglet has run away!"
A black pig was rampaging through the field, grunting and squealing.
The Chen family's chicks would occasionally eat some fallen grain in the field.
Pecking left and pecking right.
Suddenly an idea came to me, so I went back to my room and started writing and drawing on the table.
