Chapter Seventy-Seven: No Good Heart
Pei Lizheng only has one son, who also enlightened Meng, and sent him to the school to study, but in the end it was really not that material, and he was sent to be a buddy with others, and he gave a hand to the shopkeeper, but the situation just improved, but he broke his leg, and now he can only stay at home, and he rarely even goes out of the door.
The family has to eat, drink, and chew, although Pei Li is also a village official, but he is not so rich. He also has two grandchildren and a granddaughter to support, and the two grandchildren are smarter and more studious than his sons, and he also wants to continue to provide them with education and fame, if the family can be more comfortable, it is naturally good!
But this mention was put forward by Pei Qin, and it was difficult for Pei Li to choose. Pei Qin is indeed smart, and after fighting with the old Pei family, he has always had the upper hand. can make him an enemy of the old Pei family from now on......
"We have now moved to Liu'er Lane, and when the New Year is over, we will renovate it in the spring. When the time comes, the household registration of our sister and brother, I hope that Lord Lizheng will help a lot! After Pei Qin finished speaking, he arched his hand again, and left with his leave.
The third girl pulled the fourth girl Pei Wendong and followed her out.
People who come to pay New Year's greetings are strange, what did she say to Pei Lizheng, but Pei Lizheng's face has become like this during the New Year.
Sanya asked Pei Qin in a low voice, "Eldest sister!" Pei Li is afraid that he will not be towards us! "Then you don't have to hand over the rice noodle workshop to Pei Lizheng, grandma's family will definitely treat them well in the future, they can be handed over to grandma's family to do, and they can also get closer.
Pei Qin did not respond to her words, but raised her eyes to look at the people of the old Pei family who were walking towards her.
Those who came and went to pay New Year's greetings all looked at the two of them with strange eyes.
"Happy New Year!" Pei Qin smiled nonchalantly.
Siya immediately pulled her, the old Pei family is all enemies! Why do you give them New Year's greetings!?
Her words made Pei Zongli and Pei Houli not know what to do. They should have been good this year, but they have been made one after another, and it is not good at all!
Originally, I just wanted to beat them up, solve them violently, simple and rude, and it only hurt for ten days and a half months. I have to play IQ with her! Glancing at the eyes of the villagers, Pei Qin smiled and waved his hand, and left the village with Sanya.
On the way, Siya dissatisfiedly preached that Pei Li was making rice noodles at home, and blamed her for not paying New Year's greetings to the enemy.
"In the future, there will be not only rice noodles, noodle stalls, but also other things, shops, and farm products at home. Did you do it? Pei Qin found that Siya was only nine years old this year, but he had malicious speculations about everyone and didn't believe anyone.
Looking at her deep gaze, Siya was stunned and didn't say anything for a while.
When she got home, Pei Qin explained why she taught Pei Lizheng's family to make rice noodles, "...... But a job of making rice noodles can't make a lot of money. Just throw it to Pei Lizheng, stir and stir! ”
Sanya nodded, understanding her intentions, "Then what if Pei Li is unwilling?" ”
Pei Qin shrugged his shoulders, "The silver is handed to him, they don't want it, and I can't help it!" ”
"They're definitely going to want it!" Pei Wendong now has full trust in the eldest sister, and feels that what she says is right, and she can do anything! If no one else can do it, the eldest sister can do it too!
Pei Qin rubbed his head, "If you're sleepy, go make up for sleep!" Wake up at noon, let's cook a pot of meat too! ”
The four girls went back to sleep without saying a word.
Sanya was worried that Siya had been blaming Pei Qin, which made her feel uncomfortable, and she didn't like Siya, so she saw her enter the inner room, and said, "Eldest sister! Siya is not intentional, she is poor. ”
"Pei Qian! Call her Pei Qian in the future! Don't call it three or four anymore! Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year! Pei Qin suddenly said seriously.
Sanya was stunned for a while, her eyes suddenly sour, and she nodded vigorously, "Hmm!" It's called Pei Qian, Pei Qian! It's not called three or four! ”
Pei Qin asked her to make up for sleep, and she was also going to sleep on the kang outside, muttering dissatisfiedly, "Ya, Ya, listen to it!" The maid also has a resounding name! ”
Sanya... Pei Qian lay down with red eyes and said to Siya, "You will be called by name in the future, not Siya!" ”
Pei Qian secretly gritted her teeth, and after a while, she whispered.
Pei Lizheng's family in Houshan Village has left to pay New Year's greetings, and Pei Pozi's son Jiang sent her grandchildren and even her son and daughter-in-law to make up for sleep, and asked Pei Lizheng, who sighed, "What's wrong with this?" From Sister Pei Daya and brother, you are like this. ”
Pei Li is telling her what Pei Qin said, "... When she left, she said that they lived in Liu'er Lane in the town, and that we should go find her! We really have to go to her and accept the rice noodle workshop, and then we will have hatred with the old Pei family from then on! ”
"I don't think they're a good thing!" Jiang pursed his lips and asked, "How much can you earn by making rice noodles?" "If she really wants to earn money for her grandson to study, and to face up with the old Pei family, she also admits it! The son broke a leg and couldn't do anything, and the daughter-in-law had already complained a lot, if there was an income, the family would be more comfortable. The two of them alone can't help them for a lifetime!
Pei Li was listening to her ask how much it was, and he knew that she was tempted, and let out a long sigh. Not to mention her, even when he heard it, he couldn't help but be moved. But this rice noodle workshop is a hot potato, and it's not easy to pick up!
I don't think he's sleeping anymore, and I'm thinking about what to do after that. Pei Qin put him together first, and was given a basin by Fang Qian, and then he explained that it was not what he said, and Pei Yaozu and they didn't believe it. Now Pei Qin is coming to the rice noodle workshop again, which really makes Pei Li embarrassed.
Pei Qin slept well until after noon, got up and threw the meat and bones into the pot, filled it with firewood and burned it.
Sun Tiezhu came over to deliver food again, "My mother said that your grandmother sent you fried fish and fried chicken pieces, and you also bought rib bones, so I will send you some fried mung bean balls, which can be put and eaten for a long time!" ”
Pei Qin tasted one, said it was delicious, and took a pot of mung bean balls.
Sun Tiezhu saw that she was still wearing moon-white filial piety clothes during the New Year, and thought of her brother-in-law who refused to look at her during the New Year, and felt very pity. I asked them how to go to their relatives tomorrow, and they could take their car and go along for a while.
"It's not far anyway, it's still warm to walk!" Pei Qin smiled and said, should Sanya ...... Bah! It's time to exercise Pei Qian and Pei Qian's bodies. It's called smooth, it's not easy to change your mouth!
Over there, Pei Qian had just woken up, and hurriedly pulled Pei Qian up, "Eldest sister! Are we going to over-oil? If you want to fry something, I'll do it! ”
Pei Qin asked them to eat freshly fried mung bean balls, "There is nothing too oily, when the miscellaneous food at home is finished, I want to eat fried fresh!" ”
Pei Qian pursed her lips and didn't say much.
Cook the meat well, the sisters and brothers gnawed some bones, sprinkled the meat with salt and salted it in the wide-mouth jar, which can be stored for more than half a year.
Although they didn't have wheat to harvest, they couldn't be allowed to eat it because they didn't harvest it, Pei Qin still pickled several pieces.
The night before, I prepared a big bun, a few apples, a few white-flour buns, and two boxes of small golden stick candy, and I could take them to my relatives tomorrow.
Pei Qian was reluctant to go, and the people of the Fang family were not good, and they wanted to take advantage of them.
On the second day of junior high school, the sisters and brothers got up early to make breakfast and eat, Pei Qin was not going to go early, so she handed the red book to Pei Wendong to practice calligraphy, and went early, she would only stand at Fang's house and be watched and questioned by the people in the village, she felt that her head was very big when she thought about it.
She didn't want to leave early, and someone would pick her up.
Fang Li drove the ox cart over, "I know that your sisters and brothers are still at home!" Pack up and get in the car! Wait a minute, your aunt's family will be over! I haven't left any relatives today, so I'm waiting for you at home! ”
Pei Qin said good for the New Year, took the basket that had been packed in advance, and led Pei Qian's four sisters and brothers to sit in the ox cart.
Fang Li was talking to them all the way, asking when he would build a new house, he didn't go out to look for work this year, he came to help them watch, they didn't understand how many babies were, they would be deceived or something. And he generously said, "How much silver do you have?" Is it enough to flip a house? If you don't have enough money, ask your uncle to get it! There is no more, we still have less! ”
Pei Qian pouted, not believing him at all. The eldest aunt didn't send them any money before, but he came to them and asked for money. Even if I gave it, it was only a few copper plates, so I ran over and asked for it. She didn't like that Fang Fang either, she was fat like a pig, greedy and delicious, she didn't know how many good things she ate before she grew that body of meat, but they had just eaten enough, and seeing that they would soon have a good life, their mother was forced to die.
When they arrived at Fangjia Village, sure enough, many people heard about it, and they came out to look at their brothers and sisters, and asked Fang Li, "How many nephews are these!?" I'm going to pick it up! ”
Fang Li greeted people with a smile, "They have moved to the town now, the road is far away, and a few little babies still have to come over, so I will go over and pick them up!" ”
Someone praised Pei Qin's sister and brother, who looked like a symbol, looked at Wen Jing, said okay, and asked how old they were.
Fangjia Village is not small, from the west end of the village to the middle street, stop and go all the way, Fang Pozi and Yu are in a hurry, Fang Fang and Fang Liuyang, even the small one of the Feng family, Feng Chun took it out.
Pei Qin jumped off the ox cart and walked on the ground.
When Fang Fang came up, he called his cousin with a smile, carried the basket home first, and quietly opened it to take a look. Seeing that it was just the same as my aunt's house, I was a little uninterested. Even if you don't have to take many things for the New Year, but the grandmother and mother sent them so much a year ago, and the regular foreign family and the Wang family didn't give them silver, and they didn't come to visit their relatives for so many years, and they didn't even take something delicious!
Throwing the basket to Feng Chun and taking it back to the house, Fang Fang came over to pull Pei Qin, "You are your cousin's, your aunt is gone, you want to give us New Year's money!?" ”
Pei Qin saw that she was very worried, and took out a red envelope for her.
Fang Fang's eyes lit up, and he quickly called Fang Liuyang to come over and opened the red envelope. I see that there are ten cents in it, although I think it is a little little, but it is the same compared to my aunt's family.
Fang Liuyang and Feng Chun both came around, and Pei Qin took one out of himself.
When Yu Shi saw it, he came out and grabbed Fang Fang and wanted to beat her, "You dead girl!" How old are you, and you still have to pay for the New Year! Didn't give you any New Year's money yesterday!? ”
"My aunt is gone, my cousin is older than me, do you have to send me New Year's money!" Fang Fang ran away with a howl, anyway, she didn't have anything to eat at home, she had money and could go to the grocery store.
"If you take the money to buy food, I'll break your legs! Give me back! Such a big person, I don't understand anything at all!? Yu scolded and called her.
Seeing that she was really going to be angry, Fang Fang reluctantly pouted and came back, "You can't ask for my New Year's money, it was given to me by my cousin!" ”
Yu wanted to hit her when he got started.
Mrs. Fang and Fang Hui came out and had already brought Pei Qin's sisters and brothers home.
To kowtow to his elders for the New Year, Pei Qin didn't have this awareness, so he directly bowed to Fang Lao Xiucai and Fang Pozi to see the New Year. Pei Qian, Pei Qian, and Pei Wendong also did the same.
Mrs. Fang looked at the four sisters and brothers and smiled with Fang Laoxiu, "I will return the student gift to you, you have to be a master and have a good time!" "Worried that none of Pei Qin's sisters and brothers grew up in front of him, and no one taught him, Fang Laoxiu was only reluctant, and he was unhappy.
Fang Laoxiu nodded, "I'll ask you how your knowledge is when I get back." ”
Mrs. Fang greeted Pei Qin's sister and brother with a smile, and took the New Year's money out to send it.
Seeing a red envelope handed in front of him, Pei Qin smiled and said, "I'm already an adult, so I don't want it." Every year, she seals red envelopes for her parents. Parents will throw her a red ticket to suppress the New Year's money, saying that she can't suppress the year no matter how much she is like this, and she will grow up like crazy, which means it.
"At Grandma, you are all little babies!" Mrs. Fang stuffed the red envelope to her.
Pei Qian took the red envelope, and the weight in it contained at least a dozen of them, and she took them and stuffed them.
Over there, Fang Li and Fang Fu also took out red envelopes and sent them to their sisters and brothers, and the weight was not light.
Fang Hui also smiled and sent red envelopes to several people.
Greeting the New Year again.
Pei Qin took out three more red envelopes and gave them to Fang Liuming, Feng Bo, and the youngest Fang Xinfa.
Fang Liuming said that he didn't want anything, and made a big red face, "Cousin! I'm only one year younger than you, how can you send me New Year's money! ”
Feng Bo laughed, "I'm only five days younger than my cousin, so I can't ask for it!" ”
Mrs. Fang stopped Pei Qin and didn't let go, "They are all people who should say goodbye, how can they still press the New Year's money!" Don't send them out! ”
"That's what Grandma said!" Feng Bo said embarrassedly and glanced at Pei Qin.
Pei Qin put away the two red envelopes again.
Someone outside came to talk.
Mrs. Fang introduced Pei Qin's sisters and brothers to what grandma and aunt they called, and they worshiped for a circle.
They were busy until noon, Yu and Ruan were busy cooking, and Fang Hui and Fang Pozi also went to help.
Fang Lao Xiucai asked how many words Pei Wendong had learned and how many "Three Character Classics" he had memorized.
Pei Wendong wanted to fight for his eldest sister, so he said that he had finished the first part of the "Three Character Classic" in twenty days, and he even dabbled in the "Four Books", and he could explain everything he memorized. He hasn't done anything these days, except for getting up to clean the house and yard, and is practicing calligraphy by memorizing.
Fang Laoxiu listened to it, and his expression was a little stunned. Rong Niang's death made several babies grow up a lot at once, and the next few babies were outstanding, but Rong Niang couldn't see it!
"Did Cousin Wendong teach him enlightenment by his cousin? I learned so much in such a short period of time, when I was enlightened, I studied the "Three Character Classic" for more than half a year, which is really a shame! Feng Bo said.
Fang Li, Fang Fu, and Feng Shouxing all praised Pei Wendong, and praised him for Pei Qin's good teaching.
When the meal was set, Fang Li praised Pei Wendong's endorsement with Mrs. Fang.
Feng Shouxing and Fang Hui glanced at each other.
Chicken, fish, braised meat and a variety of meat dishes are on the table.
Fang Fang shouted that there was a lot of meat, a lot of delicious food, much more than last year.
Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Yu kept picking up vegetables for Pei Qin's sister and brother, Fang Hui couldn't reach it, so she stood up and sandwiched Pei Qin once, "Ming'er, your uncle and they are going to visit relatives, and you guys will come to our house!" We don't have any relatives, so you guys are here! ”
Pei Qin responded with a smile.
After eating, everyone sat in the house and talked, and Fang Laoxiu asked about building a new house in the spring.
"There's no rush now, wait until you go back and ask someone to see what the cover looks like, how much silver is needed, and wait for a specific situation to ask before you plan." Pei Qin didn't want to build anything yet, and now he was a little short of money in his hand.
"Let's take it one step at a time." Fang Laoxiu nodded.
Fang Li immediately packed the ticket, "Qin'er and their sister and brother will give me the matter of building a house!" They don't understand the little baby, my uncle helps them watch, and when the time comes, find the veteran who does a good job, ensure that the price is cheap, and the work is good! ”
Feng Shouxing also said that he could help, saying that Fengjiazhuang had a few good jobs, and he could go over to help when the time came, all of them were known to him, and they didn't dare to ask for more money.
Pei Qin smiled and didn't answer, sat down until it was almost sun, and said that he was leaving.
Fang Li diligently went to set up an ox cart and wanted to send them.
"The food is a little stretched, just walking, not a few miles away!" Pei Qin didn't let him send it.
Feng Bo said, "We have a section on the way, or cousin, you can take my donkey cart!" ”
There are only two miles with them, Pei Qin responded with a smile and took a ride with them.
Feng Shouxing let Fang Li not have to set the car, he just sent Pei Qin's sisters and brothers home.
Fang Li saw Feng Bo's invitation, Pei Qin agreed, and Feng Shouxing's eyes were a little bad. If you really want to compare, Feng Bo is taller than his family Liuming, how can he compare to his family Liuming's good looks, and he is still studying!?
Yu took out the basket, and the basket that was supposed to be a gift was fuller than when he came.
Fang Fang picked up the basket and had to see what she had returned, and whether she had returned her favorite snacks.
Yu slapped her helplessly, slapped her hand away, and handed the basket to Pei Qin.
It was sent all the way to the outside of the village, and Mrs. Fang went back a few times, saying that she would come back on the fifteenth.
Walking out of Fangjia Village, Feng Chun sniffled, lifted the basket, and smiled innocently, "Grandma returned a box of pastries and a box of fruits." He said to Pei Qin again, "You must have returned!" Then he put the basket on and was very happy.
Pei Qin smiled.
Fang Hui pulled Pei Qin to speak and asked her what she planned to do in the future.
"Raise the three of them first!" Pei Qin only has this one task now. As for the side quests that pop up in the middle, let's talk about it as we go.
Fang Hui sighed, "It's really hard for you to be a little baby!" Seeing that you are so sensible, I can't even wish you were my daughter! Follow me back to Feng's house! ”
Pei Qin saw that the place along the way was finished, so he called to stop and jumped off the donkey cart, "Auntie, let's go here!" The rest is not on the way! ”
"What are you doing down!? They all said okay, I'm going to send you home! Fang Hui sat up and called her to get into the car again.
"A few of them are in poor health, they need to exercise more, and walking is only good!" Pei Qin said, Pei Qian, Pei Qian, and Pei Wendong also got out of the car one after another.
Fang Hui also came down and persuaded her not to stop, helplessly watching them turn around and walk on the road to Taiping Town.
After walking far away, Pei Qian couldn't help but say, "None of them are well-intentioned!" They all want to take advantage of us! ”
"I'm not at ease, so you don't have to follow me." Pei Qin glanced at her and walked in front with a basket.
Pei Qian pursed her lips and refused to accept it, they were not at ease in the first place! I didn't care about them before, but now I'm here to be courteous, if it weren't for the benefits of their side, I would take care of them, would it be good for them!?
When she got home, she opened the basket, and the big bun left the jujube flower bun, and the fruit was replaced with a box of crispy fruits, a box of plum bean carob fruits, and two boxes of dim sum, and there were four big goose eggs under the basket.
They rarely eat duck eggs, let alone goose eggs. Pei Wendong held the huge goose egg and said in surprise, "It's bigger than my hand!" ”
"There's another kind of egg, bigger than your whole person!" Pei Qin smiled.
"There are eggs bigger than people!?" Pei Wendong's eyes widened.
"Of course! There is so much we don't know in this world! There is only what you can't imagine, and there is nothing you can't do! Pei Qin nodded.
Pei Wendong nodded as if he didn't understand, and asked, "Eldest sister!" What kind of egg is bigger than a human? I thought to myself, "Is it a dragon egg?" ”
"It should be." Pei Qin nodded seriously.
Pei Wendong was stunned. I think the eldest sister knows a lot!
The corners of Pei Qin's mouth twitched slightly, don't instill too many strange things in him, he is too maverick, if he really wants to go out, he will be rejected by others.
For dinner, the four siblings cooked millet porridge and killed four goose eggs.
Pei Qian was reluctant to eat the three of them, so they wanted to put them and eat them slowly, Pei Qin said, "There are so many foods at home, if you don't eat them quickly, even if you don't grow maggots, it will be bad", and the three of them had convulsions, and they all responded and killed the goose eggs.
The next day, Pei Qin packed the same basket and went to Fengjiazhuang.
Feng Bo drove the donkey cart to pick them up in advance. On the way, I kept talking to Pei Qin, asking her about studying, how did she learn secretly, he couldn't learn from his master, and asked again, "... Listen to my father, cousin, you are very good at mental arithmetic, I only know a little bit about this, you have to teach me! ”
Pei Qin played haha with him and arrived at Fengjiazhuang.
Fang Hui and Feng Shouxing, Feng Pozi and Feng Laohan were all very enthusiastic. Also with Feng Shouxing's sister and family.
Feng Laohan has a son and a daughter of Feng Shouxing, and there are more than ten acres of land in the family that are tax-free in the name of Fang Lao Xiucai, and the life in Fengjiazhuang can be counted.
Four tile rooms, plus east and west wings, the yard is very regular, it is also quite large, and it is very clean.
Pei Qin's sister and brother paid New Year's greetings and sat in the house.
Fang Hui took peanuts and melon seeds, snacks and candies came out, and beckoned them to eat, "This is specially bought, and when others come, they are reluctant to take it out." ”
Pei Qin didn't like to eat sugar very much, so he grabbed the melon seeds and peeled them and ate them.
After talking, Fang Hui asked Feng Bo, Feng Chun and Pei Qin to play with their sister and brother, and went to the kitchen with Mrs. Feng to cook.
Feng Bo called Pei Qin and asked her to point out his mental arithmetic, "... If you want to read any book, you can go to me and pick a few. I can't study well, but I bought a lot of miscellaneous books. ”
"When you learn, you study hard, and when you should play, you can relax and play with confidence." Pei Qin has no interest in those books, and she is not engaged in literature.
Feng Bo was a little surprised, so he told them interesting things that happened when he was in the school.
After eating, Pei Qin left, saying that he was walking all the way home to exercise Pei Wendong's body.
"Panic! It's still early, let's play again! Wait until the next hour is over, let Feng Bo drive the donkey cart to see you off! Fang Hui pulled her.
"When he is older, I will send him to learn and practice martial arts, now he doesn't have a tough body, and he can't bear it when the time comes!" Pei Qin glanced at Pei Wendong with a smile.
"Learn to practice martial arts!? You want Wendong to learn to practice martial arts!? Fang Hui's eyes widened in disbelief.
Feng Bo and Feng Chun also looked at her.
"When you go out and walk, you must always have the ability to protect yourself!" Pei Qin arched his hand and took his leave.
Fang Hui hurriedly came out to send it.
Pei Wendong was not afraid of being tired at all, he walked seven or eight miles of mountain roads in one breath, and looked at Pei Qin expectantly, "Eldest sister!" When will we start learning and practicing martial arts? ”
"The day after tomorrow!" Pei Qin replied to him, Ming'er Fang Li and the Feng family would come over to visit relatives.
The next day, the people of the Fang family and the Feng family all came to visit relatives.
Because there is no hall, there is no room to sit in.
Mrs. Fang stayed at home to prepare for cooking, and Pei Qin led the juniors to Houshan Village to burn paper for Fang's grave.
There are Yu and Ruan, as well as Fang Hui, who didn't use Pei Qin and Pei Qian, and directly prepared the meal.
Fang Fang held a handful of steamed dumplings and didn't let go of eating, "You still have so many in your house!" When you're done eating, you're going to take some for me! ”
"One family, one pocket." Everything that can be solved, all can be solved.
After eating, Fang Li and Feng Shouxing stood in the courtyard, pointing out how to build the house.
Fang Xiucai asked Pei Qin not to be in a hurry, if he couldn't cover it all at once, he would cover it in stages. The hall was built first, and then the wings were built when there was enough money.
Pei Qin is afraid of trouble, so if you want to cover it, you can fix it all at once, saving trouble.
After sending them away, Pei Qin turned around and made a training plan for the three of them, "Starting from Ming'er, three times a day for a total of one and a half hours of basic training, and then I will teach you move skills after fifteen!" ”
She really taught them to fight people. Pei Qian felt that she was just tossing around and wasting their time studying and practicing calligraphy.
Pei Qin took the paper, measured the size of the yard at home, and pondered what kind of new house to build on the paper. The courtyard is like that, and it is natural and comfortable to live in, but there is only one patio in the whole house, and the place where the sun shines is too small. In the end, it was decided to build a U-shaped, four halls, two wings in the east and west, the gate was open on the east side, and there was an extra carport on the west side.
But it was built like this, and it was made of bricks, tiles, stones, and wood, and it could not be built without fifty or sixty taels of silver.
Pei Qin pulled down the family's silver, not counting the bits and pieces, reselling the liquidator abacus of forty taels, Sun Tiezhu and Zou Xing sent skateboards a few years ago, and settled another ten taels, and by the end of the first month, there were still seven or eight taels. The money for the trolley and the first cart will have to wait until after March, and there will also be a **tael. Now I have fifty taels in my hand, barely enough. But Pei Wendong has to be bound when he enters the school, and several of them have to eat and wear, start building a new house, and go out to rent a place to live for two months.
After thinking about it, the noodle stall still has to be set up. But that was fifteen years later.
Pei Qin looked at the silver at home, took twenty taels at once, and went out to buy a few bags of peanuts and sugar.
Pei Qian looked at the pile of things piled up in the house, and her eyes widened, "What are you buying this for!?" ”
"Make fried peanuts with sugar and exchange some money! Now there is not enough money to build a house! In order to save that money, Pei Qin didn't even want to peel good peanuts.
Pei Qian secretly glared at Pei Qian, "Eldest sister! Do you want to peel peanuts first? "Swiftly took the bucket and came over.
"Yes!" Pei Qin moved a small bench, and several sisters and brothers surrounded the bag, peeling peanuts while carrying a book, and occasionally Pei Qin gave a paraphrase.
When I peeled a sack of twist flowers, I also peeled out a bucket of peanuts, and the shriveled ones that didn't look good were also picked in another small bamboo basket.
For a few days, people sent bags of peanuts one after another, and after the grandmother found out, she came over to help peel the peanuts that had been peeling for a few days.
I picked up the pot and firewood in advance, scooped the sugar into powdered sugar, and bought starch. Before dawn, the sisters and brothers got up early and fried a few pots of sugar and fried peanuts.
When the peanuts came out of the pot, Pei Qian tasted one, which was crispy and sweet, and she was satisfied.
packed the fried peanuts with sugar, left Pei Qian and Pei Wendong at home, and Pei Qin and Pei Qian rushed to Yuanyang County with a ride on their backs.
First send a package to the regular staff outsider, and then send a package to the Wang family. The sister and brother dragged the cart to the Deyue Restaurant.
When the shopkeeper saw them, he thought that Xue Jiancai was on the market again, and when he heard that it was a snack before the dish, he came to ask him first, and if he didn't need it, he would send it to the teahouse. The shopkeeper tasted fried peanuts with sugar, praised the wonderful, and after a little thought, he left them all.
Pei Qin asked for the twenty taels of silver she spent, and she had to earn ten taels anyway.
The two sides bargained, and the final price was about the same, Pei Qin sold all the sugar-fried peanuts he brought to Deyue Restaurant.
Pei Qian recorded all the money she earned, "When these peanuts are sold, it is estimated that they will be enough!" Let's hurry up and set up a noodle stall, lest others learn too! ”
Pei Qin was going to make more fried peanuts with sugar, and the next day she brought more than the day before, and sent them directly to a teahouse called Juxian Lou.
This Juxian Loukong has a loud name, but the business is not good, some people want to buy it several times, the shopkeeper is very stubborn, saying that it is the ancestral industry, saying that it will not sell anything.
Pei Qin brought the sugar-fried peanuts, and the shopkeeper surnamed He hesitated and hesitated, gritted his teeth, and bought all their sugar-fried peanuts.
"Shopkeeper! If you still need my fried peanuts with sugar in the future, I'll help you pay attention! Pei Qin accepted the money and looked at Shopkeeper He with a smile.
This is talking to him about cooperation, and the shopkeeper He is a little reluctant, "I don't know how to sell this sugar fried peanuts, I bought so many of you at once, and if it doesn't sell well, it's already a loss!" ”
The corners of Pei Qin's mouth twitched, "It's the Lantern Festival soon, and your restaurant will also produce some fresh rice balls!" "Then he took several kinds of colored rice balls, salty rice balls, and fruit rice balls, and told him, ".... Next time, if you don't buy it, we'll change people! ”
Shopkeeper He was a little reluctant at first, but those various tangyuan could be tried, and with such an idea, he hurriedly found someone to make tangyuan, and recommended a new snack to people who came to the teahouse, fried peanuts with sugar.
Unexpectedly, the fried peanuts with sugar were too sweet, and drinking tea and eating that, but it ruined the taste of the tea soup, but it was unexpectedly easy to sell.
Pei Qin also started to make rice balls at home, but the rice balls she made were really not good, she went to Fangjia Village to visit relatives, sent a piece of meat of more than five catties, and packed a bag of rice balls that did not look good, and two boxes of fried peanuts with sugar.
Fifteen Lantern Festival to go to the mother's house, to send dumplings to the father, some wrapped, not wrapped, but also to bring green onions, ginger, salt and noodles, when back, grandma will go back to the grandson with noodles steamed little flower cat.
In modern times, Pei Qin has also seen someone sell steamed little flower cats before and after the Lantern Festival, and it is related to the New Year. Because the Chinese New Year girl went to her mother's house to take a big steamed bun to pay respect, and what came back was the jujube flower bun, also called Zaoshan. The grandson moved to the mountain of his grandmother's house, and crossed the more Xuan! After announcing that he was going to send dumplings to his mother's house, he went home to catch the mice that were eaten by the little flower cat.
Pei Qin grinned as she listened.
and Fang Hui's family rushed to the next day, Pei Qin just gave Fang Hui's family a box of fried peanuts with sugar, and only had to send dumplings to her mother's house.
Before finishing eating, most of the opened box of sugar-fried peanuts was eaten, Fang Fang shouted that she wanted to eat, pulled Pei Qin and shouted to her cousin, asking her if there was anything at home, and she heard that she made it herself, so she shouted that she wanted to go to their house for two days.
"We'll start setting up a stall tomorrow." Pei Qin raised her eyebrows slightly.
Fang Fang thought of eating a bowl of noodles on a cold day and letting her brush so many bowls, her hands were frozen this year, and she was itchy and sore when she slept at night, and pouted dissatisfiedly. When Pei Qin left, he didn't say that he was going to Taiping Town.
When the siblings returned home, they began to prepare for the stall. Because there is no land at home, the boiler, tables, chairs and benches continue to be placed in Sun Tiezhu's house, and now he lives in the town, so he doesn't have to get up early.
On the fifteenth day of the first month, Taiping Town gathers. The sisters and brothers got up early to make noodles, fried the toppings, and got ready.
Over there, Sun Tiezhu had already pulled out the boiler, tables, chairs, benches, plates and bowls to help them prop them up.
As soon as the noodle stall was set up, someone came over and inquired about Fang's being forced to death by Lao Pei's family by eating noodles.
Pei Qin only said that his plans for the future, as long as their sisters and brothers grow up safely and live a good life.
When everyone looked at them again, they also had more sympathy and kindness. The Fang clan didn't die before, but there was an adult here, but now a few little babies came out to set up stalls, and they looked pitiful.
There were many people who came to eat noodles, and there were many queues, and those people didn't complain much.
Next to the noodle stall, there is also a bucket, in which are fried peanuts with sugar wrapped in kraft paper, ten cents a pack, if you are willing to buy it, put down the money yourself and take a pack.
Lao Pei's family also has people to catch the market, because Pei Houli is a carpenter, who takes work in Shili and Eight Villages all the year round, and many people know each other.
Therefore, it was still the Zhu family and the Chen family who came out to catch the market, brought Pei Wenbo and Pei Wensheng, and followed the maid calligraphy and painting to take care of Pei Wensheng.
Seeing that Pei Qin's sister and brother came out to set up a stall again, Zhu secretly gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.
Pei Qin was so busy that he didn't bother to look up, and he didn't see them.
Pei Pozi and her daughter-in-law Meng Shi also came out to catch the market, standing not far from the noodle stall and watching, "So many people are waiting in line, it seems that the baked noodles they sell are really delicious!" ”
"If we also sell rice noodles, can so many people eat them?" Meng Shi said with some anticipation.
"I heard that the rice noodles are very troublesome to make, so I asked our family to make a workshop. Otherwise, they will sell it themselves! After Pei Pozi finished speaking, she explained, "But if we make rice noodles, we can also give them to the noodle restaurant and send them to the county, and we should be able to earn a lot." ”
Meng Shi pursed his lips, leaving the troublesome work to them to do, and they couldn't earn a lot of money. She still wants to set up a stall like Pei Qin and them, and she can earn a lot of money every day, which is easier than running a workshop.
It's easy to get money, how can it be so easy. Moreover, Pei Li is a village official, and he is very busy with the summer and autumn harvests every year, and it is also suitable to open a small workshop without going out to set up a stall every day.
When the people in the market went down, and the people in Pei Qin's sister and brother's noodle stall also left, Pei Pozi led Meng Shi forward to greet Pei Qin.
"The noodles were sold out just now. Take this bag and bring it back to the baby as a snack! Pei Qin took a bag of fried peanuts with sugar and gave it to Pei Pozi.
Pei Pozi excused herself, accepted it, explained her intention with a smile, and was willing to set up a rice noodle workshop and let Pei Qin teach them what to do.
"In the next episode, we'll sell out in advance and rush over." Pei Qin didn't go over immediately, told them to buy rice and prepare tools, and soaked rice a few hours in advance before she went, and explained it clearly.
When Pei Pozi got the letter, she went home and told her that Pei Li was about to go.
Pei Qian was very happy, "Eldest sister! Pei Lizheng will be on our side in the future! ”
"Even if he is on our side, he doesn't dare to confront the old Pei family!" Pei Qian snorted softly.
"At least they won't be on the side of the old Pei family to deal with us!" Pei Qian is very optimistic, because what the eldest sister said is being fulfilled step by step. Now it depends on Pei Lizheng's family to set up a rice noodle workshop, how the old Pei family reacts, and what will happen to Pei Wenli's scientific examination.
After closing the stall, Pei Qin went to Sun Tiezhu's house to help.
Today is the thriving full moon wine of Sun Tiezhu's son.
The people of the Zou family came early, and the grandmother invited the chef to cook, and the neighbors came to help serve the dishes.
Pei Qin helped her grandmother remember who gave something, so that she could return the gift with this in the future.
After a busy circle, Pei Qin stopped Aunt Sun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who came to eat and drink, and the work of building a new house at home was handed over to Sun Dashun and his son, their fathers and sons are all veterans in this area, and there are more than ten people under them who follow their fathers, and most of the houses in the town are from their hands.
As soon as she heard that Pei Qin was going to build a new house, Aunt Sun immediately responded, "Tiezhu said hello before, and when I go home, I will tell them to build yours first!" ”
Pei Qin smiled and thanked him, and when he waited for the evening, he carried two catties of wine and a bag of sugar-fried peanuts, followed Sun Tiezhu to the door, and looked for Sun Dashun.
Sun Dashun is not tall, thin and long-faced, in his forties but does not look old, he is very happy to respond, saying that he will start ordering bricks and tiles, wood, and stones now, and when the time comes, he will build a house, and the materials will keep up, so as not to delay things.
Pei Qin paid five taels of silver, and Sun Dashun wrote a receipt to her, saying that it was scheduled to be February 2, and there was an auspicious day to break ground.
When he came back, Sun Tiezhu said to Pei Qin, "How much silver do you need to build a house?" I have reserved a sum for you, if it's not enough, you're welcome, just come and get it! ”
"It's almost enough now, and when it's not enough, I'll look for you again!" Pei Qin said, and reminded him, "I'll go to the county with you in a few days, the Wang family's skateboard is almost finished, it's best to renew the contract with them, and only if you keep doing it can you make money." You can't always make a one-size-fits-all deal! ”
"Good!" Sun Tiezhu responded, asked her to be careful in the aisle, and the two broke up at the mouth of the alley.
Pei Qin walked along Liu'er Lane and walked home, just turned the corner, a gust of wind invaded, and a dagger was put against her neck, "Don't move, otherwise I'll kill you!" ”
