At the oil press workshop, Tang Ming asked the accountant and the scorer to come over. Each household would exchange oil according to their division of labor, and they had to keep records.

A large group of people poured into the oil press workshop. Song Chu clapped his hands and said, "Line up on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't crowd."

If someone else had said this, these people would definitely not listen, but when it came to Song Chu, they had no choice but to line up obediently, for fear that she would start a fight if they disagreed with her.

Watching them line up with satisfaction, Song Chu asked Tang Qing to take the other two to cheer for the people in line.

Families that are usually diligent and earn more work points and have a large population can naturally produce more oil using their work points.

For example, in Song Chu's uncle's family, he and his two sons got full work points, and his wife and two daughters-in-law were also capable, so it was no problem for them to get eight or nine work points a day.

One ounce of oil was worth twenty work points. Each adult was allowed to exchange it for three ounces of oil a month. Their family could exchange it for nearly one pound and eight ounces of oil for only 360 work points, which was very cost-effective.

In the village, unless the family is extremely lazy and does not have many work points, they basically use the maximum per capita limit to exchange oil.

This is a visible benefit. After all, at the end of the year, apart from the food exchanged for work points, the rest cannot be exchanged for much money, so exchanging it for oil is more practical.

When the oil was poured into the oil bottles and barrels that everyone had brought, everyone in the village, young and old, felt relieved and was very happy.

Looking at Song Chu standing in the middle of the yard, he couldn't help but praise him rarely.

"Don't mention it. I used to see this girl from the Song family being out of tune, imitating boys in fighting and being a village bully. She was usually too lazy to work, but now she has become smart and capable."

"Yes, we all benefited from Song Chu this time. I think she will be a promising person in the future."

"A few days ago, she said she wanted to share the oil. We were unsure and thought she was joking. Who would have thought she was serious? She is really capable."

"Tang Feng, your Chuchu is now successful, you can enjoy a peaceful life in the future."

"Yes, your daughter is the most capable one in the village now."

It was mainly Song Chu's job that other women in the village could not do at all, such as hunting snakes and wild boars and leading people into the mountains.

Although everyone praised Song Chu, no family wanted to marry such a capable girl.

Now everyone subconsciously believes that Song Chu is more powerful than any man and does not treat her as a normal woman at all.

Tang Feng raised her head and chest with a proud look on her face, "Of course, my Chuchu was also delayed by school before. Now that she is not in school, she uses the knowledge she has learned in the village, so you can also benefit from it."

After hearing her say this, and considering Song Chu's recent performance, the villagers felt that it was quite interesting.

Of course, there are also people who don’t believe this at all. We will have to continue to wait and see whether Song Cunba has really changed for the better.

Those who had finished filling up the gas tank did not go home immediately, but stood aside to chat and watch the fun.

After everyone in the village had finished pressing oil, Song Chu looked at everyone and said, "I've said before that anyone who follows me up the mountain to press oil or comes to help will be rewarded."

"The nine people who went up the mountain and helped to press oil will each be rewarded with two kilograms of oil, and the three women who helped will be rewarded with one kilogram of oil. In the future, as long as they continue to work in the oil press, they will be rewarded with this amount of oil in addition to the original work points per person every month."

"After the exchange, there will be other rewards, which will be distributed according to the performance of your usual work."

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone standing in and outside the yard was stunned.

They also heard that Song Chu took the nine people to the mountains to pick fruits, and sometimes they would hunt game and have a meat meal. The three women who helped even got half a pheasant each the day before yesterday.

Some people were already envious, and now when they hear about this reward system, they can't help but feel jealous.

There are even more people who regret it. Why did they hesitate and wait and see in the first place? If they had signed up directly, wouldn’t their family have been able to get an extra two kilograms of oil today?

Even if they took time to help out in the oil press, they still had a pound of oil! If they couldn't finish the rewarded oil, they could give it away, or secretly take it to the black market in the city to exchange for something. How great!

They regret it so much!

In contrast to these people, the families of the nine people and three women felt like they had received a windfall.

The twelve people were also stunned. They obviously didn't expect that they could get so much reward oil. They were all smiling from ear to ear.

Especially Song Chu's two cousins ​​and three cousins. The reason they signed up to go into the mountains was entirely because their father asked them to take care of and support their cousins ​​in private.

They didn't take it too seriously at the time and just thought of it as a way to play with her. Who would have thought that this would actually happen and the treatment she said was so good.

I couldn't help but feel fortunate that my father made such a wise and courageous decision.

"Song Chu, do you still need people in your oil press workshop?" an old lady with jealous eyes couldn't help asking.

She has three hardworking sons. Just pick any one of them and he can produce two extra kilograms of oil a month.

Many other families had the same idea and looked at Song Chu, "Yeah, do you need more people?"

The reason why Song Chu offered such a reward was, firstly, that he was really planning to improve the welfare of the residue oil workshop, and secondly, to attract villagers.

She smiled and said, "There are enough people going up the mountain and helping. If more people are needed in the future, I will continue to select people from the whole village."

Everyone became disappointed after hearing this and continued to regret that they should not have hesitated in the first place.

Song Chu then changed the subject and said, "This month's oil has been distributed in the village. I went up the mountain and saw that the tea oil fruits can be picked for more than two months after they mature. So I plan to send people to various villages to exchange the extra oil for soybeans and food."

"We won't give this task to the young people. Let's give it to the elderly in the village who can still work. It's not too tiring to carry a few barrels of oil to other villages every day to exchange, and they will also be rewarded with oil and other things."

There are many elderly people in the village who only earn a few work points a day and cannot get much food, but these elderly people have considerable influence in the village.

On the one hand, Song Chu really wanted to find them a job so that they could make use of their remaining energy. On the other hand, she also wanted to win these people over so that they would stand on her side in the future and give her more say in decision-making.

The old people in the village were all delighted when they heard this. Someone asked curiously, "Xiao Chu, what do you want to exchange soybeans and grain for?"

"The grain will be used as welfare in the future, and I plan to use the soybeans to extract oil and make tofu."

"In the future, soybean oil residue and tofu residue can be used to raise pigs, chickens and ducks. The tofu can be exchanged by villagers with work points or other goods, and can also be taken to other villages for goods, or to factories in the county town for exchange. It's a three-pronged approach."
