Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 35 The water business is no longer available



When I got home, Wang was also home and was looking for Li Qiuyan.

Seeing that Li Qiuyan bought another pot and vat, Wang probably guessed it.

Li Qiuyan informed him one by one about the arrival of shopkeeper Du. Wang was very happy, but a little worried that she would not be able to deliver as scheduled.

Li Qiuyan said: "I've thought about it, mother, or else you won't do this sewer business. I'm really too busy. I have to collect cabbage and get sewerage." Mrs. Wang was a little reluctant to give up, but the business was going smoothly. Also make a lot of money.Li Qiuyan observed Mr. Wang's face and said, "Say, let's do it well and let Fourth Uncle sell it, while we work on the sauerkraut at home, okay?"

Wang thought for a while and decided that this was okay. She would just wait until Li Xiangbei came and then ask him about the specific situation.

People say you shouldn't talk about people behind their backs, no, just as I was thinking about it, Li Xiangbei came.

Li Qiuyan hurriedly brought out a small basin for Li Xiangbei: "Fourth uncle, I have already prepared it for you."

Li Xiangbei touched his head naively, thanked him and was about to take it away.Li Qiuyan did not let go and pulled Li Xiangbei into the house.

"Fourth uncle, I have an idea. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?" Li Qiuyan said.

"If you have any questions, just tell me and I'll take care of it for your fourth uncle." Li Xiangbei said, patting his chest.Li Xiangnan looked at his brother's stupidity and chuckled: "I'm going to be a father, and I'm still showing off here." "Hehe, hehe." Li Xiangbei scratched his head: "Yanyan, what's the matter with you?"

Li Qiuyan also smiled: "Dad, please stop teasing my fourth uncle. He is still in a hurry to go back and take care of my aunt. Fourth uncle, my family is too busy right now. I want you to help sell pigs at the dock. I wonder if you are willing." Are you willing?" Seeing Li Xiangbei's expression change slightly, he added: "Fourth uncle, I'm definitely not asking you to help me for free. How about giving you [-] cents a day?" Li Qiuyan has also done research. Li Xiangbei has been here since early If you stay late at the dock, you may not earn much more than thirty cents. For this job, you can set off after breakfast and come back before lunch time. This way, you can spend more time at home taking care of your fourth aunt. I think your fourth uncle can do this. agree.

Li Xiangbei really didn't expect this. He used to help his sister-in-law sell at the dock. His fourth sister-in-law took care of his food, and he would not accept any more money given to him.But now, he can really think about it. He also knows that it is his niece who wants to help him, so naturally he will not be ignorant: "Yanyan, I know your kindness, but if it doesn't cost that much, you can give me twenty yuan a day." That’s it.”

Li Qiuyan disagreed, and the two argued for a long time. Finally, Li Xiangnan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Just 25 yuan a day."

Li Qiuyan and Li Xiangbei then gave up, and Li Qiuyan told his fourth uncle: "Uncle, after you finish lunch, you can help me call the eldest and second uncle over. I want to build another stove." Li Xiangbei touched Li Qiuyan's hand. The head left.

After taking the sauerkraut home, Li Xiangbei didn't have any meat at home, so he used lard to cook sauerkraut soup for Mr. Zhou, as taught by Li Qiuyan, and paired it with steamed buns. Mr. Zhou ate it really well.

"Master, seeing you so happy, what's the good thing?" Mrs. Zhou said after she was full. Li Xiangbei and Li Qiuyan agreed on selling braised pork, and the corners of their mouths were indeed raised: "Yanyan said he was too busy. If you want me to help you sell braised pork in town, give me 25 cents. I will come back and bring you delicious food. But I can’t accompany you in the morning. "

Mrs. Zhou was very happy after hearing this and said angrily: "How can you be so squeamish? Just go ahead and go. I just want to give you too much."

Li Xiangbei said: "Yes, at first they said they would give me 25 coins, but I thought it was too much and only asked for [-] coins. It was the third brother who made the decision and decided on [-] coins. I won't tell you anymore. Just put the bowl away. I'll do it again when I get back, and I have to go build a stove for Yanyan in the afternoon. I'll go to the eldest and second brother's house first to say something." After saying that, he ran away.

Zhou couldn't help but laugh, caressed her belly, which was not very pregnant, and smiled softly.These days, the head of the family wants to accompany her and work. Seeing him in trouble makes me feel uncomfortable.The family has a small financial background and has to have children, so it is better to earn more money.Now Li Qiuyan asked the boss to sell braised pork, which was a good job.After thinking about it, Mrs. Zhou picked up a pair of shoes and put them away. She planned to make a new pair of shoes for Li Qiuyan.

Li Xiangbei ran to his eldest and second brother's house without even washing the bowl. It was too early. Zhang and Fang had just come back from work. The eldest brother's house was fine. The eldest brother heated up steamed buns and chopped cabbage at home, and then waited. Zhang came back to stir-fry.There hasn't been any movement at the second brother's house.Li Xiangbei talked to him about building a stove in the afternoon, and then went home to wash the dishes.

Calculating that it was almost time, Li Xiangbei went to Li Xiangnan's house. Wang was not at home and went to the next village to find an acquaintance to collect cabbage.Li Xiangnan sat at the door in a decent manner. From time to time, people came to deliver cabbage, and he was responsible for collecting it.

Li Qiuyan put the water into the pot and helped cut the cabbage.Aunt Wu and Yingzi didn't feel tired after working on the first day. They came back after dinner. Mrs. Zhang was very tired these days and didn't come in the afternoon.Mrs. Fang came with Xia Zhi and only let Dong Xue play there.

While Li Qiuyan was chopping cabbage, she listened to Xia Zhi muttering, wanting her mother to rest at home for the afternoon, but she insisted on coming.She just smiled, maybe for Ernie, working was more comfortable than being at home.Mrs. Fang also explained: "Summer Solstice, my aunt is not tired. I will work less and you will work more." Li Qiuyan naturally agreed. She was paid according to work. The more you work, the more you will get. She also wished that everyone Not even taking a break.Why does it sound a bit capitalist? Li Qiuyan laughed.

Seeing Li Xiangbei coming, Li Qiuyan hurriedly greeted him. After a while, his uncle arrived with Li Mu, Li Shu and his second uncle, and they started working.Starting a new stove is a familiar task, and it didn't take long for it to be ready.It was still early before dinner, so Li Qiuyan didn't stay much longer.After telling Li Xiangbei to come back later, the group of people dispersed.

Wang came back happily and told Li Qiuyan that she had made an agreement with her acquaintances in the neighboring village to come and deliver cabbage if she had any.After that, he also helped cut and pickle the cabbage. With the help of Li Qiuyan and Wang, there were two big stoves.Aunt Wu and Yingzi also worked very hard.

It was getting dark. Li Qiuyan looked at the two large jars of pickled cabbage and felt relieved.After all, we need to marinate a thousand kilograms today and tomorrow in two days, and then we can deliver it the day after tomorrow.One tank can hold about [-] kilograms. It took a whole day today to make about [-] kilograms. Wang will not go out tomorrow, and together with Zhang, we should be able to make up for it.

He was too tired to lift his arms. At this time, Li Xiangbei came over with Mr. Zhou. Li Qiuyan worked hard and asked Ms. Wang to tell Li Xiangbei the specific selling price, how to sell and other details, and then agreed. Okay, I'll pick it up after breakfast the next morning.

They all went to sleep.
