Chapter 304 Vermicelli Machine
"Yes, Xiu, I'm a little confused, too." Zhou Shuilian also looked at Mu Xiu for no reason.
"Mom, sister, I mean I can do it, not that I can do it. When I was buying a tractor in the provincial capital this time, I saw a machine that could make vermicelli. The whole sweet potato was put in and it would be vermicelli." Mu Xiu no longer kept it in, she said quickly.
After Mu Xiu planned to make vermicelli, she planned to find a way to make vermicelli machines in the space, so after she came back, she had the job of making vermicelli.
"There is also such a machine?" Zhou Shuilian was even more surprised.
"It's not uncommon to have this kind of machine, but it turns out that it's available now." Mu Xiaocao said suddenly.
Indeed, she later saw a vermicelli processing factory in the village next door. I heard that several county towns took vermicelli from here, and they probably had to be processed by machines, otherwise people would have made it. However, it was the case that the vermicelli processing factory appeared in the 1990s, and I didn’t expect that such a machine would be available now.
After hearing Mu Xiaocao's words, Mu Xiu couldn't help but secretly stuck out his tongue. It seemed that Mu Xiaocao believed it. As long as this family could deceive Mu Xiaocao, the rest would be even easier to deceive.
"Yes, I also found it very strange. Later, I asked, it turned out that this was made by a master in a factory when he was merging himself. He made this one. Who grows sweet potatoes in the provincial capital? It is not cheap to buy them. So the master felt that it was unpaid after making it several times, so he threw it there. When I went to the factory to see the tractor, he said that our family had planted more than ten acres of sweet potato fields. The master happened to be there, so he pulled me to ask if I wanted it..." Mu Xiu said, pausing here.
"Then do you want to?" Mu Xiaocao asked quickly.
"Yes, don't you want it? How much does it cost?" Zhou Shuilian looked nervous.
"I want it! If I don't want it, how can I mention this matter? This machine is cheap, five hundred yuan." Mu Xiu couldn't help but smile at the anxious expressions of the two of them.
"Five hundred???! Five hundred yuan can buy a thousand kilograms of vermicelli. We can't finish it in our own life. So hurry up and return it." Zhou Shuilian almost jumped up after hearing the price.
"Mom, why do you have such a little vision? I bought this machine and didn't just make it for our own food, but I also had to make it for sale. I think it's worth 500 yuan!" Mu Xiaocao retorted first.
"My sister is right. The master said that traditional handmade vermicelli can produce only one pound of vermicelli with ten kilograms of sweet potatoes. This machine makes 8 kilograms of sweet potatoes. This year, our family has collected 8,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes. If it is made into vermicelli, it will be one thousand kilograms of vermicelli, mom! 50 cents per kilogram, how much does one thousand kilogram cost?" Mu Xiu looked at Zhou Shuilian and asked.
"Five...500 yuan..." Zhou Shuilian replied.
"Yes! That would be a one-year return? Isn't that profitable in the second year? Otherwise, if eight thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes are placed at home, you can't finish feeding pigs and can't sell them, that's all a waste!" Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Ah! I had known it, why would I give someone else a sweet potato! It's all money!" Zhou Shuilian immediately made up the bill in her heart, and she said with great pain.
"Yes!" Mu Xiaocao also looked heartbroken.
Mu Xiu couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the two of them. She felt very distressed, okay... But who can I blame this? It's just that she didn't expect this before.
"By the way, where is the machine? Show? Why didn't it be sent back with the tractor?" Mu Xiaocao reacted first and asked strangely.
"Well, this master sold this machine privately, so it was hard for the factory to know, so he made an appointment with me. The time will be up tomorrow. Then he asked someone to send it to the county town and I will pick it up. Let's clean up a room first and put it in the machine for special use." Mu Xiu had already thought about it and said.
"Why do you have to clean up a room specifically? Just put it in the yard?" Zhou Shuilian was a little surprised.
As soon as Zhou Shuilian finished his words, Mu Xiu had no time to explain, he heard a knock on the door outside, accompanied by Mu Shu's sound.
"We're back and open the door."
When Zhou Shuilian heard that they were back, she temporarily threw the problem behind her, got up and went to open the door, while Mu Xiu and Mu Xiaocao started serving the rice bowl.
The rice and vegetables were served on the dinner table. Today, there were only two dishes, one green vegetables and a large pot of pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli.
"I'll have vermicelli to eat today." Mushui picked up the chopsticks and said with some surprise.
"Yes, dad, how do you taste it?" Mu Xiu tilted his head and looked at Mu Shui.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious. I haven't eaten vermicelli in a long time. Show me, the vermicelli you make is just good."
Vermicelli has good flavor properties. It can absorb the taste of delicious soup. In addition, the softness and tenderness of the vermicelli itself makes the taste of stewed with meat more refreshing and pleasant. When you swallow it in one mouthful of Mushui, you suddenly feel that your tongue is about to bite off.
Zhou Shuilian Mucao and Chen Xuhui also picked up the vermicelli and praised them all after eating them.
"Mom, I don't want others to know that we have a machine for vermicelli, otherwise, there will be only one machine. If others ask where I bought it, if I tell the truth, others might think that I don't want to tell them that these people in the village have the most gossip..." Mu Xiu suddenly said his thoughts.
"And the tractor incident has made the villagers jealous. If they know this now, I will find a separate room to put it in the yard. If anyone comes to our house to see it, it will be difficult to explain." Mu Xiu continued.
"Make vermicelli? What are you talking about?" Mu Shui heard the fog at the end, and Chen Xuhui also looked at Mu Xiu with the same question.
"Dad, that's how it is..." Mu Xiu patiently told Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao again.
As expected, Mushui and Chen Xuhui looked heartbroken after listening to it, and everyone thought of the sweet potatoes they gave out.
"When the machine is retrieved tomorrow, we will process the sweet potatoes at home first, and then we will eat some of them ourselves and sell them in the market. I will try whether the machine can be used well. If it is done well, we will turn back and have more sweet potatoes." Mu Xiu suggested.
"Why plant potatoes?" Zhou Shuilian asked.
"Sweet potatoes can be made into sweet potato vermicelli, and potatoes are the same, and they can also be made into potato flour." Mu Xiu couldn't help but miss the delicious potato flour in later generations.
"I haven't eaten it before." Mushui said.
"I haven't eaten it before." Zhou Shuilian continued.
"When the machine comes back, I'll make it for you to try!" Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"good."
