132: Will you still go to work on rainy days?
Xu Ying and Yu Xiaoye both looked up at the roof and felt deeply fortunate that they had the foresight to replace the fence with a new one as soon as they arrived. Otherwise, it would probably be raining heavily outside and lightly inside, which would make it difficult to clean up the house.
Yu Xiaoye said with satisfaction:
"At least we still have a small mud house to shelter us from the wind and rain. I am content."
Xu Ying wasn't as irritable as before, but she looked at the rain outside and still felt a little melancholy:
"It's raining, are you still going to work? We don't even have an umbrella at home."
"I don't know, probably not going on?" Yu Xiaoye guessed.
Before he could finish his words, the loud speaker outside rang.
The three of them lay down at the door, listening carefully with their ears perked up.
On the radio, Jia Song, who seemed a little sleepy, announced that because of the change in weather today, all farmers and workers should rest at home and wait for the rain to stop before going back to work.
Yu Xiaoye smiled when he heard this:
"Dad, Mom, listen, it's vacation time!"
Yu Jiahui was also very happy:
"It's vacation time, and we finally have a chance to rest!"
Although only one person in their family usually works, the other two who do not have to work are never idle. They are busy every day and have to do a lot of work.
Now everything is almost packed up, and I can take advantage of the rain to rest for a day with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, the depression caused by the loss in the vegetable garden was greatly alleviated.
Yu Jiahui asked the mother and daughter to rest in the house. He braved the rain and went to the kitchen to find a wooden stick. He cut a few holes in the vegetable patch to drain the water and prevent waterlogging.
He also moved the two piles of firewood outside into the kitchen, and then covered the vegetable cellar in the yard.
Finally, I checked the chicken coop again.
After finishing all the work outside, he went back into the house in the rain.
In fact, most of the farm workers in the company like rainy days very much.
When everyone heard the sound of rain outside in the early morning, they lay in their beds and laughed secretly.
For no other reason than that it’s raining and everyone can have a good rest!
In the farm company, everyone works every day and has no fixed rest days. They can only take a holiday occasionally when the weather is bad.
However, this only applies when it is not particularly busy. If it is the autumn harvest, let alone rain, even if it is raining knives from the sky, you still have to work with an iron pot on your head.
So when the farm work is not too busy, we all look forward to having a holiday when it rains or blows.
As soon as the company's loudspeaker stopped blaring, all the farmers and workers were overjoyed.
Welcome the holiday!
————
The three members of the Yu family stayed in the small mud house for a while, tidied it up, and felt that there was nothing to do. They thought that in this kind of weather, no one would come to visit?
No one comes here on normal days, let alone on rainy days.
So the family of three locked the door and entered the space.
It was raining outside, but the sky in the ocean of space was still clear and the sea and sky were connected!
The family finally felt like they were on vacation this time and planned to lie down on the deck and rest for a while, then get up and do something else after they had rested enough.
Yu Jiahui put out the fishing line again to see what he could catch today.
Now fishing is not only a hobby, but also one of the family's livelihoods. He has every reason to spend time on it!
Xu Ying sat on a chair on the deck for a while and looked at the sea view. At first glance, it seemed very beautiful, but after looking at it for a long time, she felt a little aesthetic fatigue. Her eyes were full of blue and she didn't want to look at it anymore.
She couldn't help but go to the kitchen, and took advantage of the break to make some more food, and also chopped some feed for the chickens to store.
Yu Xiaoye was not idle either.
But it wasn't her hands that were busy, it was her brain that was busy.
She fully mobilized her little brain and began to think about it, no, she was thinking about how to further utilize the resources in the ocean space!
She looked at the endless sea water——
Hey, seawater can be used to make salt, right?
With so much sea water, we can extract a lot of salt!
Of course, she didn't dare to extract so much salt to sell.
Selling salt privately is a very serious violation of the law, especially in ancient times. Selling salt privately was an even more serious crime. In serious cases, there was even the possibility of beheading and property confiscation. Moreover, the retail price of a pound of salt was only 1.5 cents, so this business was not profitable at all.
The reason she thought of making salt was just for her own convenience.
However, she had heard from her teacher in class that salt extracted from the sea cannot be eaten directly and must be purified.
The extracted salt cannot be eaten, but it should be okay to use it to pickle salted duck eggs, salted chicken eggs, etc., right?
Moreover, with salt, she can also pickle some salted fish and dry some fish, which can be sold on the black market, which is also a way to make money.
Once she had an idea, she began to implement it.
I'm free anyway, so I might as well find something to do.
The simplest way to extract salt from seawater is to dry it in the sun, allowing the wind and sun to evaporate the water and slowly crystallize the salt.
However, drying salt requires a large area of open space, and the space on a yacht is limited, so it is impossible to dry salt on a large area.
She walked around the deck, looking for tools and space to dry the salt, and suddenly looked up and saw a large parasol on the flying bridge on the top floor of the yacht.
Well, maybe, you can turn the parasol upside down, pour the sea water into the parasol, and evaporate the sea water first.
When it is almost evaporated, pour it to another place and continue to dry it to allow the sea salt to slowly crystallize.
This seems like a good idea!
Yu Xiaoye climbed up to the flying bridge alone, took down the parasol with great effort, put it upside down, and then scooped up the sea water and poured it into the big parasol.
The material of the parasol is waterproof and you can slowly wait for the wind and sun to evaporate the moisture.
When the third bucket was poured, Yu Jiahui, who was standing on the deck, looked up and shouted at her:
"Xiao Ye, why do I hear some noise outside?"
Yu Xiaoye put down the bucket
, I listened carefully, and there really was someone calling Yu Xiaoye's name.
Who would come to see her in this weather?
Yu Xiaoye climbed down swiftly and returned to the small mud house with his parents.
What surprised the whole family was that the people who came to see them were actually several female educated youth from the company, who came to ask Yu Xiaoye to modify their clothes.
The female educated youth were rather timid and did not dare to enter the rumored haunted house, so they just talked to Yu Xiaoye at the door holding umbrellas.
As soon as she finished speaking, before Yu Xiaoye could react, two female educated youth came on her left and right, holding an umbrella for her and carrying her away.
Hello, hey, hey!
Why didn't you just ask me if I was willing and just carried me away?
Is that polite?!
I'm really not that familiar with you (not at all), okay!
It was a good thing that she was carried away by a few women. If she had been carried away by a group of men, wouldn't she have disappeared on the spot?
They invited Yu Xiaoye to their dormitory.
On rainy days, everyone stays in their dormitories and doesn't come out.
There are ten people living in one room, all sleeping on a big bunk bed, which looks quite lively.
Moreover, the dormitories here are built quite reasonably, just as described in the original book, with inner and outer rooms.
The outer room is a little smaller, and is used to store sundries and toiletries such as washbasins, with a large long table in the middle.
The inner room is where people live.
Yu Xiaoye was escorted into the inner room by the female educated youth. As soon as he entered, he saw a familiar face:
Oh!
It turned out to be Wu Yanping who was punched twice by her!
