Chapter 800: Chapter 803: Can I Try?_1
"Today is the Tan Family’s last day to hire short-term workers, those who are interested hurry up and register, there are a total of forty spots, recruitment will close once full, everyone please hurry."
"Additionally, those who want to borrow the threshing machine should make reservations in advance, it’s best if everyone discusses to stagger their times, or several families can agree to rent it together, striving to let more people enjoy the convenience of the threshing machine."
"Village chief, can we give it a try? What if we rent it and it doesn’t work well, won’t we suffer a huge loss?"
Tan Zhenghong made room for them: "Of course you can try, two people at a time, and if anyone doesn’t know how to use it, Erhu and I can teach."
Soon two people got on the platform, they cooperated with each other, and successfully separated the wheat grains.
As soon as they stepped down, someone couldn’t wait to ask, "How is it?"
The man gave a thumbs up: "It’s really easy to use, hardly takes any effort, I think two people could work side by side easily, and it’s definitely not a problem to thresh six to seven acres in half a day!"
Saying six to seven acres, he felt he was even understating it, but that was under the precondition that there were people constantly bringing small bundles of wheat to them.
A normal household only has about six to seven acres of wheat, renting it for half a day would be more than enough.
"Is it really that miraculous?"
"The threshing machine and Tan Zhenghong are right here, if you don’t believe it, go and try it out for yourself, I need to talk to Ah Hong right away, I absolutely must reserve it for half a day."
The man hurriedly pulled Tan Zhenghong aside and started discussing the rental of the threshing machine.
With this machine, this year is definitely going to be much easier!
After that, more people continued to take turns trying it out, and after the trial, many had looks of disbelief on their faces.
It was only after trying it out that they realized the machine was even better than they had imagined.
Knowing the benefits of the threshing machine, there were a mix of happy and gloomy faces at the drying yard.
"Girls are truly a blessing, my eldest daughter-in-law is in the Embroidery Room, and Er Ya is at Duo Meifang, so we can borrow it for a whole day!"
"My family can borrow it for half a day, if we hurry we should be able to finish, the Tan couple is really considerate, always thinking about us when it comes to good things!"
"You foolish woman, hurry to the Embroidery Room, don’t even think about taking the day off, if we can borrow the threshing machine, it will be worth several of you."
The man hurriedly urged his wife, who had just come back from leave to help with the farm work, to get to work.
Just now, the village chief said only those who did not take leave would be eligible to borrow it, his wife had only rested for less than half an hour, it should be fine.
The woman said discontentedly, "If you keep mistreating me, I won’t go to the Embroidery Room!"
"My dear, I was wrong, isn’t that enough? You already work so hard in the Embroidery Room, how can I have you work in the fields too? You just stay in the Embroidery Room, take a break when you’re tired, being a man, I should be the one providing for the family."
The man’s face was full of appeasing smiles, now that his wife could earn silver, and could even borrow the threshing machine, how could he not treat her well? Dare he not treat her well?
There was a saying in the village that had popped up out of nowhere: the better you treat your wife, the more prosperous your future will be.
The best examples were Tan Zhenghong and Sun Erhu.
In the past, many laughed at them for being cowards afraid of their wives, but now those same people were living better and better lives, others only had envy for them.
Based on that saying alone, he couldn’t neglect his wife anymore.
"After selling the wheat, I want to buy a box of Fragrance Paste, they say it makes the skin soft and tender."
The man nodded in agreement immediately: "Buy it!"
"That’s more like it!"
Pleased by the flattery, the wife hurried off towards the Embroidery Room.
Everyone wanted to earn more silver, to provide a better life for their family.
This wasn’t an isolated case, nearly all the Embroidery Ladies had become the queens of their households.
