Chapter 122: 3 Jin of Rice
Because there was still a lot of paddy rice that needed to be threshed into rice, the rice mill had to be repaired as soon as possible, so after finishing her meal, Song Cenyue said goodbye to the Zhang family, left the Zhang family, and went to the warehouse.
It was already dark at this time, and the warehouse was pitch black. Song Cenyue saw kerosene lamps in the warehouse during the day, but she did not go to look for kerosene lamps to light them. Instead, she took out a flashlight from the space and used it to illuminate.
A kerosene lamp is not as convenient as a flashlight, nor is it as bright as a flashlight. Since there is no one else here, I naturally have to use a flashlight.
Song Cenyue shone the flashlight at the rice mill, waved his hand, and sent the rice mill into the space, and then he also entered the space.
She planned to repair the rice mill in the space, and then grind the rice in the space after it was repaired, so there was no need to move the rice out.
It's tiring to move so much rice out, grind it into rice and then move it back into the space. Although you don't have to move it yourself, it's still tiring to use mental power to control the space to send the rice out and then send the rice back into the space.
The space was very bright, so there was no need for a flashlight. Song Cenyue turned off the flashlight, put it into his wide pocket, and started repairing the rice mill.
The rice mill was repaired by her quickly. She then used her mental power to make the pile of rice come to the rice mill by itself and started to mill the rice.
Although the rice mill is a bit old, it is still very powerful in milling rice after being repaired. It can mill one kilogram of rice in about one minute.
Song Cenyue calculated in her mind that if she could beat one kilogram of rice in one minute, she could beat sixty kilograms in one hour, and six hundred kilograms in ten hours. It sounded like a lot, but she had to beat a lot!
There is so much rice that I feel like even if I stay up all night and thresh the rice all day, I still won’t be able to finish it.
How can this be done?
Fortunately, Song Cenyue had a flash of inspiration and immediately came up with a solution. What rules or restrictions were there? They had to harvest all the rice tonight.
I can go to the warehouse tomorrow night, send the rice mill into the space, and mill the rice in the space. I can do the same the night after tomorrow, and the night after that, until all the rice piled in the space is milled into rice.
Although I have to return the key to Liang Liangduo tomorrow morning, I haven't heard of any place in this area that can make keys, and it is impossible to make a key tonight, but it doesn't matter.
What I did before was that I could easily open the lock without any key.
Therefore, I will return the key to Liang Liangduo tomorrow morning as agreed with him before, and will not keep it to make a new key.
After making up her mind, Song Cenyue watched the rice mill until one o'clock in the morning. When she felt a little sleepy, she took the rice mill and left the space. After returning the rice mill to its original position, she left the warehouse.
It's already so late, let's go back and have a rest. Although we have only harvested about 300 kilograms of rice, there is still a lot of rice piled up that has not been harvested. But we can't finish it even if we stay up all night, so it's better to harvest it slowly.
On the way back, Song Cenyue calculated how many kilograms of rice could be harvested from the rice piled up in the space, and how many nights it would take to finish harvesting them. She found that the rice piled up in the space could easily produce 40,000 to 50,000 kilograms of rice. Assuming that 300 kilograms of rice could be harvested every night, it would take 100 nights to produce 30,000 kilograms of rice, and 160 to 170 nights to finish harvesting all the rice in the space.
It took nearly half a year! It feels too long!
For the past six months, she has had to go to the warehouse every night. It feels so troublesome and dangerous. As the saying goes, if you walk by the water, you are bound to get your feet wet. For the past six months, she has been going to the warehouse every night. Maybe one night she will be seen and suspected of stealing things from the warehouse.
No, I think I can't rely on the rice mill in the warehouse to mill all the rice in the space. I can't go to the warehouse every night. I still have to find a way to get a rice mill and put it in the space. It's best to use my own rice mill to mill the rice.
Moreover, I have a rice mill that I can let the space operate. It can grind rice 24 hours a day. I should be able to let the space operate the rice mill so that I don't have to stand by the rice mill and let it work, right?
Just put a rice mill in your space and try it and you will know.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I should get my own rice mill and put it in the space. The fertile black soil in the space can automatically produce rice indefinitely. All I have to do is spread the rice.
If you have a rice mill, you can grow rice every day and harvest a lot of grain every day. It won't be long before you have millions of kilograms of rice, and you can make a lot of money by selling it.
We didn’t grow rice every day in the past because we didn’t have rice threshers. If we didn’t have a rice thresher to thresh the rice after harvesting it, we could only pile it up, which was not a good idea.
But where can I get this rice mill?
This rice mill is not easy to use.
How about we call the team leader tomorrow and find out where the production team bought this rice mill?
It should have been bought at the city machinery factory.
Most machinery factories can make rice mills, but because the production capacity of machinery factories is low and they produce few machines, all machines are in great demand and difficult to buy, including rice mills, and they are not sold to individuals.
So even if a private person has money to buy it at a machinery factory, he cannot buy it.
You have to get a certificate from a unit, commune, or brigade before the machinery factory will sell it, but because there are so few machines, no matter what kind of machine it is, it is very popular and you have to queue up to buy it.
I don't know if I can get the team leader to issue a certificate so that I can go to the machinery factory to buy a rice mill. A rice mill shouldn't be very expensive, probably only a few hundred yuan.
However, if she asked the team leader to issue a certificate to buy a rice mill, he would definitely be suspicious and wonder why she wanted to buy a rice mill.
You have to think of a good reason...
What reason would not arouse the captain's suspicion and support her buying a rice mill?
It’s hard to come up with a good reason like this…
However, no matter how difficult it is to imagine, we have to think of it for the sake of the rice in the space.
Song Cenyue still hadn't figured it out when she arrived at the educated youth center. She decided not to think about it for the time being and go to sleep first. She would think about it slowly when she woke up tomorrow. There was no rush anyway, and she didn't have to figure it out now.
Song Cenyue did not knock on the door to ask her friend He Xiaolu to get up and open it for her. Instead, she reached out and pushed the door directly. The door was not locked, so it opened immediately.
When Song Cenyue went to Zhang's house to braise offal, she told He Xiaolu that she was going to Zhang's house and would probably be back very late. She told He Xiaolu not to wait for her to come back, but to just leave the door open for her and not lock it. She would push the door open and enter the house by herself when she came back.
Song Cenyue entered the room and looked at the beds. He Xiaolu, Zhou Xiaoli and Wang Ximei were all sleeping soundly. It was normal for them to be sleeping so soundly at this late hour.
Song Cenyue was a little sweaty, which made her feel uncomfortable. She decided to take a shower before going to bed, and then she entered the space.
There is a villa in the space, and there is a bathroom in the villa. She is going to take a bath in the bathroom.
Anyway, everyone in the room is fast asleep now, so no one will see her enter the space.
Song Cenyue went to the bathroom of the villa and took a quick shower. After the shower, she felt refreshed and comfortable.
She found a hair dryer to dry her hair, then left the room and prepared to go to bed.
When asked where the hair dryer came from, she said of course it came from the space. There were many household appliances in the villa, including a small hair dryer.
Song Cenyue lay down on the bed and was about to close her eyes when she suddenly heard Wang Ximei talking in her sleep: "Money! I want money..."
Money! Song Cenyue suddenly had an idea.
She thought of a good reason to tell the captain that she wanted to buy a rice mill!
Why didn't I come up with such a good idea earlier? I was staring at the rice mill before!
That’s right, the good reason that suddenly came to her mind was related to the rice mill itself.
An idea suddenly occurred to her. She remembered that the rice mill in the production team was not only for grinding public grain, but also open to the public and for grinding private grain. They charged ten cents for each time of grinding. She could follow suit.
She told the team leader that she suddenly had an idea to make money, which would also be beneficial to the production team. That is, she would use her own money to buy a rice mill, which would be free for use on public grain and 1 cent per use for private grain. She asked the team leader to issue a certificate so that she could buy the rice mill.
She thought the captain would agree, and would be very happy and support her in buying a rice mill.
Although the production team has had poor harvests every year, there is still so much land that a lot of rice has to be grown every year. The production team has only one rice mill, which should be too busy to handle it. I have heard before that when the rice mill is in its peak season, many people will line up to mill rice.
Therefore, if he bought a rice mill, the team leader would not think that he was stealing the production team's business, but rather that he was reducing the burden on the production team.
Having made up her mind, Song Cenyue closed her eyes happily and went to play chess with Zhou Gong...
