Chapter 273 273. Grill and food expenses

The more Song Tan listened, the more strange he felt:

"etc."

"Grandpa, aren't you building a stove?"

Only then did Song Youde laugh: "The tobacco leaves are so big, how can you bake them in a stove? They can't be spread out."

"I'll build a higher grill. Let's take our time. Grandpa is not in a hurry."

Oh my god, after such a gesture, Song Tan knew that they wanted to build a two-meter-high small house!

The square was sealed tightly, leaving only a hole for burning coal underneath.

That's right. In order to ensure the temperature and meticulousness, even firewood was not used underneath. Song Youde even planned to pull coal.

Coal is resistant to burning, and the temperature does not fluctuate. It is stable.

In the curing room, the tobacco leaves are tied up root by root, placed on a shelf, and piles of coal are burned on both sides of the outside. After roasting for several days, the tobacco leaves must be golden and bright, with first-class quality!

And it is more convenient to store than sun-dried ones.

After Song Youde thought about it like this, he became more and more active. Now he got on the car in a hurry and decided to get some more bricks——

For such a small brick house, the two of them spent a long time trying their best!

Fortunately, because it is against a wall, it saves the effort of one wall, and it is finally done.

After having a hasty lunch, the two little old men looked at the big sun in the sky, then looked at each other and said in unison: "Go and have a look in the fields!"

Song Youde also hurriedly carried another basket: "Let's put a roof on it. In the afternoon, you can collect the leaves. I'll go pull the coal and dry the house first."

The two of them have their own division of labor and cooperate with each other tacitly. At this moment, they really don't feel any trouble at all.

Only Qiao Qiao stubbornly held a cigarette case and chanted loudly: "Smoking is harmful to health!"

However, at this moment, only the backs of the two little old men could be seen.

Within half an hour, the two of them came back with a heavy basket of tobacco leaves, all with the inflorescences on top.

At this moment, Song Youde couldn't wait to contact the coal seller, and he also set up firewood to grill the newly built house, as if every second counts.

The seventh cousin was sitting on the porch breaking leaves one by one——

He and Song Youde agreed to roast the young leaves picked from the topping for the first time.

The second time, I roasted the old yellow leaves at the roots of the tobacco.

For the third time, let’s take a closer look at the best quality batch of flue-cured tobacco!

As for how to distribute it, the two did not discuss it. Anyway, whoever doesn't have it can just take it. There is no intention to sell this thing.

But Zhang Yanping was ready to make a move again.

He secretly asked Song Tan: "Smokers can't resist this. How about we plant more next year and prepare more to sell?"

Definitely a high price!

Sell?

Song Tan asked back: "Who are you selling to?"

Large-scale tobacco cultivation must be registered. At that time, tobacco companies will come to harvest the leaves, and you will be given fifty-eight cents for each top-quality leaf...

"I don't do this business."

Zhang Yanping instantly felt depressed. Then I wondered:

“You didn’t even know how to collect tobacco leaves just now, why do you know so much now?

Song Tan flashed her cell phone: "Thank you to the almighty group of friends, they know everything."

Of course, there is a downside. After she asked about the tobacco leaves, some customers in the group seemed to smell the smell. Several people came to chat privately, wanting to buy a batch privately...

Just look at the appearance of the two little old men in the room. How many tobacco leaves can there be?

Taking advantage of this free time, Song Tan also went to take a look at the two-meter-high brick house they had newly built.

The house is not big, just two meters long, two meters wide, and just over two meters high. There is also a passage specially filled with coal underneath, allowing the coal to burn hot air in the masonry and evenly transmit it to the baking room. The tobacco leaves inside are evenly heated and roasted more thoroughly.

The seventh cousin broke off the tobacco leaves, holding a bamboo pole in front of him, and then carefully wrapped the tobacco leaves on the bamboo pole tightly and tightly with a hemp rope.

A shelf is densely packed and neatly stacked with green tobacco leaves.

However, compared with other companies that specialize in large-scale curing of tobacco leaves, his shelf seems much sparse, with pieces, and even fully unfolded.

There is no way, after all, they are taken off from the top, and the quantity is limited. This is my first time, so let’s try it on a small scale first!

While working, the seventh cousin was still thinking: He started smoking cigarettes many years ago, and when the tobacco leaves are roasted, he will have to bring the entire cigarette pot!

Nowadays, online shopping is popular. I will ask a few young people to look for a good one online...

Song Youde's cigarette pot had been used for who knows how many years. The pole was made of bamboo, and the bamboo joints on it were all red and shiny from his coils. He couldn't lose!

…

In the evening, Wu Lan, who took the time to go to the mountain to pick two handfuls of tea leaves, just came back. At this moment, when he saw an extra room in the small courtyard filled with white fungus shelves, he couldn't help but wonder: "What is built here? Is it a toilet?"

Unfortunately, the yard of my grandparents' house had the same problem as Song Tan's house, that is, there were not enough toilets.

There is no way, who made it possible for more and more people to live in the house now?

Even if Zhang Yanping and Xin Jun both live with their seventh cousin, a family of six with only one toilet is clearly stretched.

However, Wulan peeked inside and discovered that there was no toilet here, there wasn't even a window! The ground was smoothed and a decent flue was built!

Looking at Song Tan again, she gave the answer as expected: "My grandfather is here to roast tobacco leaves."

Ulan: ...

Okay.

She was unexpectedly happy this time: "It's free to grow tobacco leaves at home. It's much cheaper than buying tobacco all year round. Let's roast it."

Look at the bricks used: "Are these all taken from the house over there? Oh, I have to say, Tantan, the engineering team you found is really meticulous!"

"I went to take a look when they were laying bricks this morning. The little cement that seeped out was scraped flat. This job is really beautiful!"

...

And at this moment.

The excavator guy got off the car and took a break. He tried to hold back, but he couldn't hold back and went to the person in charge.

He didn't mean anything else, just one question, which he had been thinking about for several days:

"Boss, why don't we eat with this family?"

The boss's reason was also very simple: "If they want to provide meals, wouldn't we get less money? For the same money, isn't it good to cook by ourselves?"

"What do you mean? Do you think the food is not good? I'm not like others, feeding you with the three-piece set of construction site food every day!"

The so-called three-piece set of construction site food is cabbage, potatoes and radishes. Because this engineering team often takes on such villa work, most employers are straightforward, and the food is really good.

For example, at noon, there are large pieces of meat and ribs in the dishes, but...

The dark-skinned young man looked at him aggrievedly:

"Have you never eaten the food cooked by their family?"

"If I can eat with their family, I am willing to pay another meal fee every day!"

Good night!
