Chapter Seventy-Four: Livelihood

Autumn passed in the busyness of people, early winter came in a blink of an eye, Yang stayed at home and focused on making winter clothes and shoes, there was no way Yan Yan couldn't do it, and he couldn't learn well, Yan Yan swore after many failures to make money to buy clothes, especially shoes, even if she didn't do it herself.

"Mother, why don't you kill this pig? At the moment, the price is acceptable, just keep half of it for yourself, and it's just right to dry bacon this day! Yan Yanjian said.

"Then you won't be able to eat fresh pork during the Chinese New Year." Yang felt that there was no fresh pork to eat during the New Year, and his face was not good.

"When the time comes, when the plum blossom family or other people's families kill pigs, let's just buy a little, and now you can also dry the duck, and the dried fish is too." Yan Yan just likes to toss these things.

"Okay, go back and ask your father to find someone, it is estimated that our family will kill pigs so early!" Yang smiled helplessly.

Yan Qingshan agreed unconditionally to his daughter's decision, and killed the pig after finding a good day, Yan Yan and Yang hurriedly dried bacon and duck, and the rest was pickled. The bacon and the duck kept falling to the ground with oil, the big black dog smelled the fragrance, and ran over here to keep wandering around the bacon and the duck, Yan Yan felt funny when he saw it, glared at it, and it pretended to smell the soil on the ground, Yan Yan really couldn't cry or laugh.

After killing the pig, you can eat fresh pork for a few days, Yan Yan made braised pork, but Yan Qingshan was so happy, he loved to eat this kind of oily thing; I steamed the dried mussels and pork that I picked up before, it was light and light, but it was delicious; I also boiled peanuts with pork belly, this soup is very delicious, and everyone is satisfied.

These peanuts should be boiled when they are fresh, otherwise they will not be delicious; The peanuts can be dried and put into the warehouse, and Yan Yan also fried some peanuts as snacks. The soybeans are dried and shelled, and they can be used to grind soy milk and make tofu, Yan Yanke is happy, this year he can finally eat the tofu he made, and there is still soy milk to drink.

After making some tofu, you have to grind potato flour and corn flour, and you have also made some sweet potato flour. Although the family has a lot of harvest, it hurts to see that the grain is decreasing little by little, and it is all used to pay taxes. We've worked hard for a year, why don't we get much? The Yan family has a lot of good land, and there is more food, and it is a problem for other families to even have enough to eat. No way, the production here is not high, but the taxes are not low.

When the potatoes at home are planted, the days are finally idle, but Yan Shaojie's relocation problem has not been solved, this matter can be big or small, Yan Yan thought about it for a long time, and decided to discuss it with the family.

"Daddy, now that we're free, it's time to plan for next year," After dinner, Yan Yan decided to have a family meeting.

"Yes, what does Yan Yan think?" The Yang family also had a plan, and when they saw Yan Yan open his mouth, they knew what Yan Yan might have thought.

"I think it's hard for us to make money by doing this right now, as soon as the taxes are paid to the family, there will be food rations left, and there is no money left, we have to think of saving money to do it, otherwise when will it be a head?" Yan Yan decided to make the truth clear first.

"What does the girl want to do? Dad has been farming all his life, and he doesn't understand anything? Yan Qingshan also wants to make money, but he can't do anything except farming, and he is also in a hurry now, Yan Yan has always had an idea, so he subconsciously asked her.

"I think my brother is going to study in the town anyway, so let's rent a shop in Shahe Town, do a small business first, and make some money, and then let's see the situation later." Yan Yan felt that it was still easy to make money in business.

"What kind of business? Do you sell pigs into the water? Yang asked, she felt that she didn't need to rent a shop if she sold pigs to get into the water, and she could go there early, so she could save a lot of money.

"Of course not! After we sold our reputation, this pig was already expensive, and now we are afraid that we will not be able to make money by selling it again. Yan Yan thinks that the Yang family is really funny, of course others will follow suit when they see that business is booming, isn't it a loss to go back and sell it?

"What then? We don't have much capital. Yang was in a hurry.

"We have crops of corn and sweet potatoes! Looking back, I want to make some cheap and delicious food that can be profitable by keeping it. Yan Yan swore and said, in fact, she currently has a few thoughts in her heart, but let's wait until it is ready, otherwise the Yang family should be sad again.

Yan Yan washed the corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes at home into powder, but now the crops are half gone, and the Yang family and Yan Qingshan don't care about her, let themselves toss away, anyway, Yan Yan will say her results when she looks back.

"Shopkeeper Li, are you here?" This shopkeeper Li came on time to ask for pickles, and there was no way that the pickles in winter were sold well, spicy and refreshing, and there were naturally more people who ate them.

"Isn't it? This pickle sells well, it seems that it will take more to make it! "Shopkeeper Li admires Yan Yan, and now the reputation of Deyilou has not only been preserved, but also its reputation is getting better and better, and many people outside like to eat.

"Don't get in the way, you can have as much as you want! Our whole village is making pickles. Yan Yan joked that Yan Qingshan was moving the jar to the car, and he was also happy that the pickles were so easy to sell.

"Shopkeeper Li, that's the case, we have a reluctant request," Yan Yan felt that they didn't have anyone in Shahe Town, so it was better to find someone they knew to help, first, to save effort, and secondly, it would not be likely to suffer. "We want to rent a shop in Shahe Town, but we don't know what the way Shopkeeper Li has, and we countrymen don't understand this, so we have to trouble Shopkeeper Li to help."

"Oh? I don't know what kind of business Miss Yan wants to do? "Shopkeeper Li is vigilant, this little girl doesn't want to open a restaurant or something, right? Isn't that a fight with the proud building?

"Don't get me wrong, shopkeeper Li, how can we have the capital to open a restaurant? I just want to rent a small shop to sell some food, and it just so happens that my brother is also going to study in the town, so the family needs to save some money, right? Yan Yan knew that Shopkeeper Li had misunderstood.

"So that's the case, no problem, I'll ask someone to ask when I go back, what are the requirements?" Shopkeeper Li knew that he had spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, so he quickly agreed. This young master of Miss Yan admires her very much, and always tells herself to "take care" of her, isn't she in love with her? No, a country girl, even if she has some ability, she won't make the young master so attentive, right? The young master is a person who has seen the world.

"It's in a crowded place, close to the dock, and the price is a little cheaper." Yan Yan euphemistically expressed his meaning, thinking that Shopkeeper Li is a spiritual person, he should find a good place.

"Okay, I'll give you the news," Shopkeeper Li saw that the pickles had been moved, and he was ready to leave, and the young master was still waiting in the proud building.

"Go slowly, shopkeeper Li," Yan Yan said, Yan Qingshan also sent shopkeeper Li away with a smile. In the evening, Yan Yan said that he asked Shopkeeper Li to help find a shop, and everyone had no opinion, and what they were busy with now was what to sell.
