Rebirth of farming for a living

Chapter 48: Selling a pig into the water?



At noon that day, everyone had lunch and rested and got ready to go to the fields. Li Xiangbei hadn't come back yet. Li Qiuyan felt something was wrong, but there was nothing he could do. The ox cart was driven away by Li Xiangbei. Although he was worried, he had to follow his mother. He comforted him by saying that maybe his fourth uncle had something to do and was delayed.

I have been restless for a long time. I want to do something like a pig in water. There is no way to do it unless Li Xiangbei comes back.

While he was thinking nonsense with Wang Congcong there, Li Xiangbei finally came back, but his face looked very ugly.

Li Qiuyan hurriedly went to pick him up: "Why are you back so late, Fourth Uncle? I'm so worried."

Li Xiangbei said with a dark face: "Just sold out. Today there is a shop selling pig sesame like us, and it only costs a penny a spoonful."

Li Qiuyan was very surprised: "How is it possible? You can still make money by selling it for a penny?" She had expected that someone would imitate it, but she didn't expect it to be so fast. Moreover, although pig water is cheaper, the spices she uses are not cheap, and artificial , what I sell is already quite a bargain.

Li Xiangbei said: "I asked an acquaintance to buy one for me to try. The quantity is not as big as ours, and the taste is somewhat similar to ours, but the taste is not as strong as ours. It is clean enough after washing, and there is not much strange smell. ."

Li Qiuyan couldn't help but frown.

Li Xiangbei added: "Although many old customers came to buy from us today, there were still some customers who went there to buy because they saw the bargains there. The sales were not as fast as usual and could not be sold out, so I was not in a hurry to come back. That’s why we’ve reached this point.”

Li Qiuyan asked doubtfully: "Then the butcher gave you the pig that went into the water today?"

Li Xiangbei pointed to the oxcart: "One is a lot."

Li Qiuyan was quite puzzled as to where this sudden opponent came from. Although he planned to hand over the method of washing pigs into water, it was still early to kill pigs during the New Year, so he wanted to make as much money as possible.Except for Yipinxuan, no one should know about this method.

Li Qiuyan said: "It's okay, Fourth Uncle, don't get angry. We'll sell it tomorrow. I'll go with you then."

Li Xiangbei saw that there was still time, so he put the matter aside and went to the fields.Li Qiuyan stopped her: "You haven't come back at noon. I brought the meal to my fourth aunt. Why don't you go back and see her first and rest in the afternoon, otherwise I'm afraid she'll worry about you." Li Xiangbei didn't insist. Just went home.

Li Qiuyan didn't say much, so he and Wang Congcong cleaned up the pigs and marinated them again.

Wang Congcong has become familiar with staying here these days, and Li Qiuyan didn't intend to hide it from her, so he started to help.She also heard what Li Xiangbei said and asked Li Qiuyan worriedly: "Yanyan, what should we do? He can just imitate us and sell them cheaper than us. The most important thing is, where did they buy the pigs?" "Li Qiuyan was also thinking about this problem. The sewerage in Qingyun Town was covered by his own family.Yipinxuan wanted a lot, but I didn't ask for details. I guess the county town couldn't meet their needs, so they might have been transferred directly from the provincial capital.If this is the case, you can actually buy it in the next town. The dock nearby is quite busy, so it is normal to sell it here.

However, the taste is a bit similar to my own, which is strange. Although I can't say that this recipe is so exquisite, I have indeed put a lot of thought into it. When I buy spices, I always buy them in batches. Even if I can buy the same ones as myself, It’s not like he even knows the ratio.

Frowning, Li Qiuyan did not stop the movements of her hands, and she and Wang Congcong put away the dinner together. These days, she has become confused when cooking, and she can no longer finish a few dishes. However, she is not confused at all. It's a fool's errand, after all, there's meat in every meal, there's appetizers in the evening, and there's plenty of wine.So, everyone is quite satisfied.After all, farmers usually eat less meat.

When the rabbit was brought over, Awang and Shitou were very happy. They were sweating from carrying it all day long. Li Qiuyan called them, fed them water, and handed them a snack before letting them go out to play. .

When the workers came back, Li Qiuyan didn't elaborate on the matter. He only told Wang that Li Xiangbei had something to do in the afternoon. Wang was too tired and didn't ask much.

Li Qiuyan thought about going to the town with Li Xiangbei tomorrow and then make plans.

After dinner and cleaning up, Wang Congcong and Wang Congcong slept together.
