Chapter 32: Dividing the land among households

Tile factory.

During the lunch break, Deng Changyuan, who has been promoted from a "mud-stepping apprentice" to a "mud-stepping master", is learning to make a large vat from his childhood friend Deng Yuntai.

Although the two yuan a day salary of a mud treading master is extremely enviable in this era, as the saying goes, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. Compared with the big vat master who can earn seven or eight yuan a day, the salary of the mud treading master is naturally not worth mentioning.

In tile factories, the wages of mud carriers and mud treaders, who have low or no technical skills, are basically fixed.

Only truly skilled jobs such as those dealing with large and small goods do not have fixed wages, but instead their wages are calculated on a piece-rate basis.

For example, a large vat master can get a commission of 0.75 yuan to 1.5 yuan for making a large vat. The commission price varies so much because it is determined according to the different specifications of the large vats.

There are more than a dozen types of jars, including Guang jar, water jar, sugar jar, oil jar, gold jar, and hemp waist jar.

Among them, the Guang jar is a real big jar, which can hold seven or eight hundred kilograms of grain. It is the king among jars.

In the entire Bobai County, only Wendi Commune can make such a large jar. It's not that the large jar masters in other places don't have the skills, but that specific soil must be used to make a large jar. Otherwise, no matter how awesome the skills are, it can't be done.

At present, it is impossible to find the kind of soil suitable for making Guang jars in the entire Shuangwang area, so Deng Shirong and his jar and tile factory do not make Guang jars.

The sugar jar that can earn a commission of 1.5 yuan is the second largest one after the Guang jar. The standard sugar jar is two feet high, with a base of five feet, a waist of two feet, and a mouth of six feet. It can hold three hundred and forty to five hundred kilograms of grain.

The oil tank is 2 feet 2 inches high, 2 feet at the bottom, 1 foot 8.5 inches wide at the waist, and 1 foot 3 inches wide at the mouth. It can hold about 300 kilograms of grain. The commission for one oil tank is 1.3 yuan.

Then the commission for the big water tank is 1.1 yuan, the small water tank is 9 cents, and the waist tank is 7.5 cents...

Although the tile factory has only been in operation for more than half a month, the master tile maker has a rough idea of ​​how much goods he has made and how much commission he can get.

Deng Changyuan was Deng Yuntai's childhood friend, so Deng Yuntai would naturally not hide it from him. After hearing it, Deng Changyuan was so excited that he wanted to become a big vat master immediately.

…

As the ceiling of the technology of the tile factory, making large vats is naturally not easy to learn. Today is the first teaching day. Deng Yuntai did not demonstrate the operation directly, but explained the production process of the large vat in detail to his childhood friend.

The blank for a large vat cannot be made in a day, because it is made of clay. Wet clay cannot withstand any force at all. If it is molded a little higher, it will not be able to bear the weight and will collapse.

Therefore, the cylinder blank must be made step by step. First, make the bottom of the cylinder, and then continue to connect the upper parts when the mud is half dry and has a certain hardness.

There are many key technical nodes in this process, such as the mud cannot be too wet or too dry, and there cannot be any air at the joints at the bottom of the tank, otherwise it will easily fall off.

Moreover, when the cylinder blank is halfway made, it needs to be turned over to dry. Things made from clay will break if touched, so it requires cooperation between two people with good understanding of each other, because the force required to turn the cylinder blank over must be just right. If the force is insufficient or excessive, the cylinder blank will be wasted!

These skills have been perfected by generations based on their own experience and that of their predecessors. If you don't have a master to teach you and rely entirely on your own exploration, you probably won't be able to make a qualified vat in your lifetime.

Deng Yuntai did not hide anything from his childhood friend Deng Changyuan and explained all the key technologies to him in detail.

When he had almost finished talking, Deng Yuntai said, "A Yuan, write down these core techniques for making large vats. Learn the theory first, and then I will demonstrate it to you, and then let you practice it yourself. As long as you study hard, I believe you will be able to become a large vat master next year!"

Deng Changyuan was very excited when he heard this. In the countryside at that time, being able to become a big vat master was very impressive. It was no exaggeration to say that he could pick any girl from the surrounding area.

So, Deng Changyuan nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and said solemnly: "Atai, don't worry, I will study hard and strive to become a big vat master like you as soon as possible."

…

In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of June.

After paying the public grain tax and distributing the grain, the production team cadres began to count the number of people in each household and prepare to distribute the first batch of land.

Deng Changfu and Guan Yongying had already registered, and the wedding invitations had been sent out long ago, so they were naturally included in the statistics.

After the headcount was completed, on the afternoon of June 27, all members of the Naye Production Team gathered at the brigade, and then the first batch of land was divided by drawing lots.

Deng Shirong had experienced this land division process once in his previous life. Even though decades had passed, the scene was still vivid in his mind.

Deng Shirong still remembers that he was full of expectations at that time, even though he was a big vat master and had contracted a vat and tile factory and did not rely entirely on farming for a living.

But fields are the roots of rural people. Who can resist the temptation of fields? Even though most people in later generations no longer farm, they still care about their fields and generally won't sell them.

Unless you pay more!

…

Although the vast majority of members wanted to divide the land and work on their own, there were still a few members who held opposing views.

Some members did not want to take responsibility because they drew a bad lot.

However, dividing the land and working independently is the general trend, and even if problems arise during the implementation process, it will not affect the results.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Deng Shirong's family had eight people, and the first batch of land was divided into three acres and two mu, with four mu per person.

Perhaps it was because the time of the lottery was different after rebirth, the land allocated to Deng Shirong's family was also different from that in his previous life and became better.

Deng Shirong didn't care about this. It didn't matter to him whether the fields were fertile or not.

What concerned him was that from now on, he no longer had to do the work of the production team.

…

After the fields were divided, each household began to busy themselves with planting rice seedlings. As for the seedlings, they were naturally distributed to everyone by the production team.

After the land was divided in the previous life, Deng Shirong's family became more enthusiastic about farming than ever before. All the family members, young and old, joined in the work and worked enthusiastically.

And their efforts were rewarded, as they had a bumper harvest that year.

In this life, in order to motivate children to study, Deng Shirong proposed a monetary reward method and allowed them not to work.

The eldest son worked in a tile factory, so the only ones who could work in the family were Deng Shirong and his two daughters.

Therefore, Deng Shirong does not plan to farm anymore in this life!

Of course, not farming does not mean leaving the fields abandoned. You can lend the fields to others to farm. When the harvest comes, in addition to paying the public grain tax, you will also be given a certain amount of grain. I believe many people in the village will be interested in this.

As for who to lend the crops to, Deng Shirong suddenly thought of a suitable person.

I have been typing on my phone inefficiently these days, so there is only one update. I will resume normal updates when I come back in a couple of days. I hope you guys won't keep up with the books, but can follow along and support me every day. I will be very grateful.
