Because of the relationship between Uncle Zhengji and Aunt Mihua, and the age difference between the two is not much, Cuihuada has had a very good relationship with Xiao Qiliu since he can remember. Even in the early years, the two families did not interact with each other as often as they do now, and Cuihua took good care of this four-room cousin who was only a few months younger than herself. Because the relationship is very good, after Li Junran returned to Lijiatun after regaining her freedom this time, Cuihua didn't take long to faintly feel that the little cousin who was always hiding behind her and needed her protection was gone. Although the little cousin in front of her was still quiet most of the time and didn't speak, Cuihua could still detect the obvious difference between the words and deeds of the little cousin in front of her. Especially these days, when she secretly noticed that her little cousin was busy tossing those things, the confident light that was inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows made her a little unaccustomed to it, and even a little self-deformed.

But at this moment, when Cuihua inadvertently turned her head and found that her little cousin was full of faint sadness, Cuihua felt uncomfortable.

"Liu'er...... What's wrong with you? ”

Li Junran exhaled deeply, then waved his hand pretending to be relaxed, and said, "It's okay, Liu Er just thinks about the little brother." ”

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen my brother for more than half a month this year. Liu Yatou is not in a hurry, wait for two more days. In two days, it will be the day of the market at the beginning of the month, and then let Hui Niang take you to the academy in the town. Aunt Mi Hua only thought that Li Junran was thinking about her compatriot brother Li Junyang, so she smiled and comforted, "Okay, okay, let my mother do the rest." Cui'er. You go play with Liu Yatou. Mother smells this smell, the ant on the tree fried by your aunt should be almost edible. ”

"Hey." Mihua, who had already been salivated by the tempting fragrance that permeated the kitchen, heard Aunt Mihua say this, and immediately put down the work in her hand very obediently, turned around and ran in the direction of the kitchen door. Of course, Cuihua did not forget to pull away Li Junran, who was still stunned in place. It is said that fathers and sons go into battle, and when they enjoy food, they naturally have to be good sisters together.

Because the vermicelli is freshly processed, it has a smoother texture than those that are dried and then soaked. Li Zhengshu, who was still a little worried about the taste of the noodles, was able to completely let go of his original hanging heart after tasting the ant on the tree made by Li Xu's. I don't know if it's my own delusion, or because I know that the fans processed by the small workshop in the fourth room are related to the vermicelli with toxic alum. Li Zhengshu felt that the vermicelli processed with konjac powder and refined salt tasted like it had some umami. But obviously more to eat.

Because he felt that the taste was better, Li Zhengshu was more confident in dealing with the possible drought in the coming year, and believed that he would be able to repair the dilapidated ancestral hall after making money. As for how the selfish fourth uncle in the fourth room would react when he found out, Li Zhengshu instinctively chose to ignore it.

What happened a few days after that. Although most of them are expected by Li Junran. But the speed of change still greatly exceeded Li Junran's expectations. on this. Li Junran couldn't help but sigh, this is too "concerted". Well, the main reason is because of the Li family's four rooms. The super popularity that her so-called fourth grandfather had accumulated for nearly twenty years before had a big explosion. Yesterday's cause and effect today, the cycle of cause and effect, our people's eyes are really bright.

After Li Zhengshu tasted the ant on the tree, he left the seventh uncle's ancestral house. Subsequently, the Li clan successively learned that the clan was preparing to repair the ancestral hall, and this time the ancestral hall was going to be completely overhauled. To the surprise of all the Li clansmen, the silver taels needed to repair the ancestral hall were no longer forcibly distributed from house to house as in previous years, but first voluntarily followed the clan to process the vermicelli and vermicelli. The Hui people bought these processed vermicelli and vermicelli at a price of 60% of the market price, and sold them at the Li Kee grocery store in the town. The money from the sale was then used to repair the ancestral hall.

After knowing this, everyone immediately expressed their willingness to contribute. Not to mention, although the ancestral hall of the clan is maintained every year, after all, it should have been completely overhauled for a long time. However, most of the Li Jiatun surnamed Li belongs to the above, and there is more than the bottom. If you want to talk about poverty, there are several well-off families in Tunli, even the poorest families can fill their stomachs as long as they are diligent and not starve to death. But if you want to be rich, you mainly rely on the harvest in the field all year round, and it is a bit difficult to save more money. Now the clan wants to overhaul the ancestral hall for a day or two, so you can't really wait until the ancestral hall falls down and then overhaul it thoroughly. Every time the ancestral hall is repaired, it is necessary to go door-to-door, and the most important thing is to get that large sum of silver. If the ancestral hall is repaired after it falls, not to mention the amount of silver it costs, the ancestors who live in the key are afraid that they will jump out and accuse them of these unfilial descendants.

Now, this large sum of money does not require door-to-door out-of-pocket payments, and can in turn make money with the clan, why not? What's more, now not only can you make money along with it, but the most important thing is to learn how to process vermicelli and vermicelli. Even if you don't sell it for money, you can make it yourself to satisfy your cravings if you want to eat it later. There is another point that almost all the Li clan people have hidden in their hearts and never said explicitly, that is, just to eat Coptis chinensis for the dumb Li Pinghai who can see the fourth room, they should make a good contribution.

So in the next few days, Aunt Mihua was busy all of a sudden. As long as they sign the so-called confidential cooperation letter at Lizheng's house, the Li clan relatives who are willing to participate together can learn to process vermicelli and vermicelli in this way. Seeing that Aunt Mi Hua was very busy all day long, Li Xu wanted to help share some of it, but she didn't want to be directly rejected by Aunt Mi Hua, and even Li Junran persuaded Li Xu to take it easy.

After all, the most critical place of this processing recipe was originally occupied by the Li family's four rooms, to say the least, for more than ten years. Now because of Li Junran, everyone in the Li clan will be in control. I believe that in the next few years, there will be more people who know Fangzi. The more people know, the more independent business it is, and the competition will naturally be more intense.

There are interests involved, and it is naturally impossible for Sifang to let go of the people who dig their corners. (What's more, it's not digging the foot of the wall now, the entire wall is about to be dug up by Li Junran.) And the relationship between the second room and the fourth room was originally a tangled relationship between cutting and unraveling, and if Li Xu's family took the initiative to send it to the door on the cusp of this kind of storm, wouldn't it be too much. Don't say anything about it, I'm sorry that Li Zheng and the Seventh Uncle Ancestor deliberately planned it.

In the end, Li Xu still listened to the persuasion of Aunt Mi Hua and Li Junran and stayed at home. Since the entire Li clan is working hard to repair the ancestral hall behind closed doors, there is naturally no reason for the second room not to do its best.

By the end of November, when the fourth room of the Li family finally noticed that something was wrong, the vast majority of the Li clan in the entire Lijiatun were busy processing the vermicelli and vermicelli behind closed doors.

As early as more than ten years ago, when the fourth room of the Li family opened a small workshop and invited people from Tongtun in Lijiatun to help in the small workshop, Li Pinghai knew that it would not be long before these people who came to help would know the general process of processing vermicelli and vermicelli one after another. Especially after knowing what price those finished vermicelli and vermicelli can sell, I believe that there will be more people who will find out how to process them. So what? The most crucial step is that he has always done it himself.

Li Pinghai never felt that there was anything wrong with him firmly controlling this crucial step in his hands, this was originally something that belonged to him, and it was difficult for the clan to forcibly seize it. Even if he has now told his three sons about the recipe, before letting the three sons know, he asked the three sons to swear to him that this recipe will be passed on from generation to generation, and it can only be passed on to sons, and daughters and daughters-in-law have no right to know.

Can ...... now Someone actually knows the recipe?

Li Pinghai looked at the noodles that his second son Li Zhengtai specially brought back from the town, and after just one glance, a very bad feeling appeared in his heart.

"Isn't this vermicelli...... Li Xiaofeng on the side saw Li Zhengtai holding a small bunch of vermicelli in his hand, so he angrily said, "You kid, if you want to eat vermicelli, just take it directly from the small workshop." Why do you still spend money to buy outside? ”

"Mother, it's not that my son wants to spend money on this vermicelli." Li Zhengtai, who had just returned home from Yuezhen, was holding this breath in his heart, and he was even more unhappy when he was accused by Li Xiaofeng for such a groundless reason.

"Hey, you kid, it's reasonable, aren't you? Spend money all day long! Look at the old woman and don't beat you! Li Xiaofeng's self-beating Li Junran got off his slave status and returned to Lijiatun on the day he made Li Junran so noisy, and he had a tone that was blocked in his chest and never went down. Seeing that his second son Li Zhengtai was spending money to buy things, he just said it casually, and he didn't plan to do anything. But I don't want her to be a mother/, and Li Zhengtai, who is a son, is even happier than her. Li Xiaofeng's heart became more and more breathless, and this anger was rising up.

"Mother, don't make a fuss. Something is wrong! Li Zhengtai dodged Li Xiaofeng's beating, and finally couldn't help but shout loudly.

"What's wrong? What could happen?! As soon as Li Xiaofeng heard that something was wrong, he stopped what he was doing.

"Dad, don't talk nonsense." Li Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Li Zhengtai's sleeve, but he didn't want to be thrown away by Li Zhengtai.

"Second son, you make it clear to Lao Tzu." Li Pinghai, who was sitting in the main seat smoking a dry tobacco pouch, suddenly became gloomy. (To be continued......)
