One hundred and seven chapters

After Li Zhu's family laughed as usual, they went home hand in hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The turnip cake is not a delicate thing in the first place, and Hamahama also thought that with the wisdom of the people here, it would not be difficult to imitate it. Li Zhu's family stopped selling this pastry after the Double Ninth Festival, and the pastry sales in the past few days have won three taels of silver for the Binbin family. That's pretty impressive. You know, a pound of radish can only be sold for four cents.

At the end of the year, the grain was harvested, and the Li Yujia family left the part they ate and the part for Old Man Li and Mama Li, and sold the rest. Li Yujia sold all the pigs in the family, and with the surplus silver in his hand, he was in a hurry to return Li Hongshen's silver and five taels of silver to Li Zhu.

Hamahama thought that food was fundamental, and he would buy it if he sold it, and that food would always be useful if he stayed at home, so he clamored not to let him sell food at home. Li Zhu thought that he had some surplus silver in his hand, so he kept it. Li Zhu's house is small, so much grain is left in the house is not enough place to put it, Li Zhu thought of digging a cellar in the firewood room, this is a matter decided before, and it is just a little better at this time.

When Old Man Li heard that Li Zhu wanted the entire cellar, he felt guilty in his heart, and he was very helpful for the idea proposed by Li Zhu. Li Yu didn't understand why Li Zhu didn't sell grain, grain could be grown every year, the old grain was too cheap, the old grain was five catties cheaper than the new grain, and most people sold new grain, but he was happy to help Li Zhu's family expand a cellar.

As soon as Hamahama heard that the family was going to make a cellar, he made a fuss about making a big one, and it was best to put grain and live in it, so that it could be used for hide and seek. Li Zhu was amused by Hamahama's thoughts.

After listening to Binbin's idea, Deng Shi agreed, and said: "Zhu, our house is small, if the cellar is bigger, you can also put some firewood into it, let's clean up this firewood house, and we can live in it." Hai'er will be four years old next year, and it's time to sleep with us. ”

Li Zhu thought about it after hearing this, and said, "This is a method, not bad." "Old man Li heard that his grandchildren have no place to sleep, and they want to make a bigger cellar, and his heart is not good, but now that Mr. Li has a good relationship with Li Zhu's family, his heart is also towards Li Zhu's family, so he volunteered to take over the work of digging the cellar.

Binbin has always been very entangled in the fact that there is no news from the outside world at home, and there is no further news from the town, she is always uncomfortable in her heart, according to the experience of her previous life, no matter where the people are, no matter how far away from the capital, it is impossible not to know the affairs of the current court at all, and now she doesn't even know the name of the current emperor, and the emperor's people don't know the emperor's name, which is not normal. Maybe it's the calm before the storm. In short, it's good to be prepared with a few hands.

Mr. Li saw that his youngest son had left grain, thinking that his family was of great use, thinking that he had asked someone to buy glutinous rice flour a few days ago, so he kept the part of the grain produced by the land under his name that belonged to him, and proposed to put it in the cellar of Li Zhu's family at that time.

Li Hongshen watched Li Zhu's family dig the cellar, and also came to help in his spare time, and told Li Quan and Li Mu about the Li Zhu's family digging the cellar. Li Zhu's family was happy after hearing this, Li Zhu even went to catch lantern insects in his spare time, this is very simple, just burn a fire in one place, you can lure them over, and then, take a cloth bag net down, generally there are three or four in a net.

Li Zhu thought that he would see fireflies in the grass on weekdays, so he planted grass in a corner of the cellar and covered it with a large cloth bag, and the fireflies were raised in it. Hamahama looked at the black line on his face, if this was the case, the fireflies would have died a long time ago. After Binbin let Li Zhu watch fireflies eat snails once, Li Zhu suddenly realized that he was going to raise them. Li Zhu had to catch some snails and raise them in a cloth bag in the cellar, raising snails was much simpler, he only needed to put some vegetable leaves. In this way, the cellar of the Li Zhu family is like a miniature small ranch.

Old man Li is very good at digging the cellar, he dug a hole in the firewood room of Li Zhu's house that can be entered by one and a half adults, and the hollowing out is in the direction of Li Yu's house, so that it is still in the courtyard of the Li family, and it will not affect the house of Li Zhu's family. Because he was afraid that the top would not be able to bear it, Mr. Li also used wooden planks against the top of the cellar and supported it with some logs.

Hamahama thought about it for a while, and smiled and proposed to dig from his cellar to the uncle's house, so that the two families could share a common place, and the adults all agreed after hearing this. In this way, the cellar of the Li Zhujia family needs to be dug with great effort.

The soil dug out of the cellar was not willing to be thrown away by Li Zhu and used to build a sheep shed and a bird shed.

The adults were digging cellars, and Li Hai took his younger siblings to read and practice calligraphy in the room, and Li Zhu's family had to eat at Li Yu's house on weekdays. Everyone is used to work, and after a month of hot work, this cellar was put out. Hamahama watched it all and was very satisfied. There are two entrances and exits in the cellar, one is the family's firewood room, and the other is the uncle's kitchen. It's for convenience.

After the cellar was dug, Li Zhujia put the firewood and the shelves where the grain was placed in the house, and the things that were not generally used into the cellar, so that the room would be free. You can make a small kang next to the kang where you are sleeping now, and make a small kang for the children to sleep on. Li Zhu and Deng were reluctant to let the children sleep in the firewood room, but they didn't sleep on the kang, and the two kangs were separated by a cloth.

Li Zhu made a window in the firewood room, and built a small kang inside, so he built a small house, thinking that someone would come to visit in the future and let him sleep here, although it is unlikely, but multiple kangs are also a good thing.

Hamahama liked this small kang when he saw it, and he could bake paper here, so that he didn't need to keep a fire by the stove.

At the end of the year, Li Zhu discussed with the Deng family, and now the family has a little surplus silver, and selling pigs is not enough to build a house, so he decided not to sell the pigs in it. Kill to give gifts and cure, so that children can eat meat from time to time.

As soon as Li Zhu's family brought it up, Old Man Li disagreed, saying that there were few relatives and there were not many gifts to give, so he must sell some. Li Zhu thought that he now had a cellar and could accumulate food, so he disagreed, and when the old man Li saw that Li Zhu was determined, he had to shake his head and say nothing more, and now his own child is becoming more and more assertive.

Hamahama saw that his father and mother were almost busy, so he proposed to make paper.

Li Zhu and Deng only remembered this at this time, and began to get busy again. This papermaking in Binbin is a simple job, Li Zhu and Deng, Li Tao and Li Bo will do it once they see it, and Li Hai will do it before. Because Li Hai and his brothers have an inexplicable love for paper, they consciously choose something to do within their ability, while Li Zhu and Deng do the harder work of boiling and stirring. Hamahama is engaged in the work of stepping on the press. The family has a clear division of labor, and they made a few catties of paper in seven days.

Deng chose some to give away, and the rest were packed in a frame, covered with a cover, and the family went to the town to sell paper. Hamahama told his brothers that these things couldn't be said, and Li Hai's brothers were all smart and should come down. Binbin also said not to speak out in front of Deng and Li Zhu, otherwise his family would not be able to make money. Li Zhu disagreed, this was expected by Binbin, Binbin cried and made trouble for a house, Li Zhu thought about where his family lived, so he didn't squeak. Deng thought about it and agreed not to talk about it.

This time, the family subconsciously went to Li Quan and Li Mu first, and asked the two brothers to help sell paper.

Li Quan was frightened when he saw the two large baskets of paper, and hurriedly asked Li Zhu to pull the ox cart into the yard and asked what was going on? Li Zhu squeaked, he wouldn't have lied, but he promised his daughter that she couldn't say it, so she didn't say why. Deng Shi watched from the side, sighed, and said, "This is made by Hamahama unexpectedly, it looks good, so I want to see if I can sell some silver." Hamahama looked at his father and mother and sighed, in fact, this is also expected.

When Li Quan heard this, he was stunned. This is the method of making paper or a one-year-old child came up with.

Binbin smiled and pulled Li Quan and said, "Uncle Quan, I got it when I was playing, and Brother Hai said that it was paper that could be sold for money, so I told my father and mother how to get it." I won't be able to tell Uncle Quan about this thing until I live in a big house. ”

Li Quan listened to Binbin's fairy tales and said with a smile: "This is a rich thing, your family should guard it, and you can't tell anyone." Uncle Quan helped your family sell this, but you have to charge a commission. Li Zhu and Deng both nodded after hearing this, and Binbin also agreed, after all, this is a long-term business, and it is impossible not to pay commissions.

Li Quan looked at the paper and said, "Your paper is a bit heavy, and the quality is not very good, so I don't think it can be sold too expensive." I sell nine sheets for fifteen cents, which is a lot cheaper than the cheapest paper of ten cents now, and someone should still buy it. ”

Li Zhu nodded after hearing this, and Deng said with a smile: "Brother Quan, you are much more powerful than us, you have the idea." Li Quan nodded after hearing this, and said, "I draw one article every nine sheets of paper, what do you think?" Binbin thought about it, that is, his nine pieces of paper are 14 yuan, and Quan Bo is 1 penny. Li Zhu hurriedly said: "How can this work, you help our family sell, you are working hard, how can you make so little?" ”

Li Quan said: "Zhu, it's so decided, but you must promise me that you will only sell it to our family, and you can't sell it elsewhere." After hearing this, Li Zhu nodded and smiled: "This is not good, I also plan to put some for Brother Mu to sell." Li Quan smiled: "I mean it can only be sold here in our Li family." After hearing this, Li Zhu nodded in agreement.

Binbin looked at Li Quan and nodded, his uncle is really good business, in fact, he doesn't make a lot of money, this is a monopoly operation. (To be continued.) )
