Chapter 157: Making Money
"Sugar gourd!" is probably buying and buying if you have money, Yu Fei, who is still unsatisfied, shouted excitedly when he saw the sugar gourd, just like when he had just bought a lot of things. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Buy!"
Yu Fei carried a large cloth bag on his back, which contained the meat, nuts, and frozen pears he bought, and two lanterns in his hands. And Li Qin was holding something like twist flowers. I couldn't take it anymore, so I bought two more strings of sugar gourds, so the two of them looked really embarrassed. Yu Fei didn't hold it at all, so Li Qin held the things he had just bought in one hand, plus a sugar gourd, and the other hand just held the sugar gourd, in response to the howling cold wind, you and I ate the red fruits on it one by one.
Eating while walking, it is inevitable that it will be a little slow, but when I get home, the sugar gourd will be eaten.
Yu Fei smashed his mouth, and he always felt unfinished.
"Ming'er, you go out and buy some hawthorn and come back, I'll make it for you!"
Yu Fei's eyes lit up, and he nodded busily.
"I also saw that there are yams for sale, you can also buy some when the time comes, yams can also be made into sugar gourds!"
In the end, it was a child, Yu Fei smiled and showed two rows of neat teeth, very satisfied.
When they got home, they began to change the window paper.
Yu Fei cut in the house, and Li Qin went to the outhouse to boil the paste.
The paste is made with white flour and water, and as long as you watch the fire, there is no problem. In a few moments, a pot of viscous paste was ready.
It was cold, so the two tore off a piece of window paper and glued it together, and after a while, the window paper at home was pasted.
In the evening, Li Qin used the frozen tofu he just bought, plus pork belly and Chinese cabbage, and stewed a big pot. Coupled with the leftovers from the previous two days, I was very satisfied.
"Twenty-six, stewed meat. "On the twenty-sixth day, it is time to start preparing for the New Year's meal.
Yu Fei bought a lot of meat yesterday, backbone, loin, pork leg, five flowers, almost everything, Li Qin boiled a large pot of hot water, washed the backbone and split pork legs, and put it in the pot, and then added a little salt, ingredients, and peppercorns, and boiled for an hour or two, and the whole house was full of meat fragrance.
At this moment, not only the two lynx were in a hurry, but also the hounds, which were also banging on the door from time to time outside. It's so fragrant, and everyone is not calm anymore.
Freshly dismantled pork is best served with soy sauce with thick garlic paste. And because it is a domestic pig, it is much better than the wild boar that Li Qin and they usually eat. The meat is tender and has no earthy smell at all. When you take a bite, your teeth and cheeks are fragrant.
Li Qin took advantage of the heat and tore all the meat off the bones, and those who couldn't tear it off were cheaper for those guys whose eyes were almost red.
Looking at the way everyone scrambled, Li Qin suddenly felt that this bone was a little too little.
The hounds have always given way to the lynx, and this time too, as soon as the lynx came, the hounds that were about to pounce automatically gave them a place again. Fortunately, the lynx looked like a cat, and its appetite was not much different from that of a cat, and after eating two bites, he squinted and went to lie on his stomach, and the hound was finally able to feast.
In fact, not only these guys, but also Yu Fei, also think that this pork is really good. Obviously, I didn't see Li Qin do anything special, but he simply cooked a piece of meat, but it was still many times more delicious than in the mountains. If he hadn't eaten so well these days, he wouldn't have eaten so little with just two plates of dismantled meat.
"Twenty-seven, kill the rooster. ”
Yu Fei bought the rooster back and cleaned it up as early as the twenty-fifth day, so Li Qin didn't have to worry about this problem at all, but on the twenty-seventh day, he was idle.
As soon as they had time, the two planned to go to Ge's house to have a look.
However, before they could go to Ge's house, the Ge family came to his house happily.
Uncle Ge and Brother Ge came to the Ge family, and the rest of the people were busy at home for the New Year, so they couldn't all come over.
Li Qin used boiling water to wash some peanut sesame paste for the two of them, which was also the black sesame and peanuts bought on the street that day. When you're fine, scoop out two spoonfuls, add some sugar, and drink it with hot water.
"I said that with Xiaoqin here, this day will definitely not be bad!" Uncle Ge smiled, and wanted to pick up the bowl next to him several times, but the bowl was too hot, and he could only smell the aroma, but he couldn't drink it in his mouth immediately, so he was in a hurry. But because of his status as an elder, he was somewhat reserved, so he could only swallow his saliva secretly.
Boss Ge didn't have as much concern as his father, and while stirring it with a spoon, he said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoqin, you said that you are not going to kill me in a hurry? Just smelling the incense, I can't drink it in my mouth for a long time!"
Li Qin smiled, "I got a lot, I'll pack some when I go back later, and I'll give the big guys a taste!"
"Why did you come here together, something?" asked Yu Fei.
Anyway, he couldn't drink it directly, and Brother Ge was not poor, so he took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it on the table.
"This is the money from the sale of insoles, it has been settled, and I will send it to you today. ”
As he spoke, Boss Ge handed over a few more pieces of paper, one of which recorded the quantity and price of rabbit skins he had purchased, a few of which recorded the number of hours he hired and the number of insoles he made, and one of which was the amount he sold every day. Boss Ge had been reading books in the town for a while when he was a child, so although the account books he made were simple, they were also clear at a glance.
Li Qin took a cursory look at it, "It actually sold for more than 500 taels of silver!" This is much more than they expected! Even if the capital and wages are removed, the net profit this time will be more than 300!
So Li Qin originally invested fifty taels of silver, but this time, it tripled!
"We didn't expect it to be so popular!" Ge Lao Dao, "But to tell you the truth, there weren't so many originally." Later, your sister-in-law saw that those corners were thrown away, and it was a pity that they used the leftovers to make them again in the next few days. The insoles that come out of this way are sold cheaper. But because it's cheap, more people buy it. It's not too good for us to hire a little more craftsmanship, but the price is relatively low, and there are more people to get it quickly, or how can we finish it so quickly?"
Li Qin took a closer look, and sure enough, there were nearly sixty taels of silver in this area.
Boss Ge couldn't hold back his excitement, "This thing is so fast! You still have a trick up your sleeve! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to make so much money!
