Chapter 473: The Youths of the County (Fourth Shift)
Li Yi looked at the houses where the residents of the county lived, both good and bad.
There are also cracks in the mud walls, and the outside is wiped with mud, and the colors are different.
Obviously, such a house is a dangerous house, and if you continue to live in it, it will snow heavily or rain heavily, and it will be easy to overwhelm and bubble.
Guo Ziyi shook her head when she saw it, it was too bad.
Compared with the Li family Zhuangzi, the Li family Zhuangzi ......
Thinking of the Li family Zhuangzi, Guo Ziyi sighed, why should he compare with the Li family Zhuangzi?
"Are you the proprietor of Li?"
When the ambulance was about to arrive at the courtyard of another family, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy next to him looked at Li Yi and asked.
He carried a basket on his arm and a bamboo basket behind his back.
"I'm Li Yi." Li Yi nodded in response, and the car stopped.
"Do you buy walnuts, chestnuts and kiwis?" The boy took two steps forward and asked Li Yi to see what was in his basket.
In the basket is a small kiwifruit, and in the back basket are large burr balls and small green balls.
Li Yi knew that the big ball was chestnut inside, and the small ball was walnut inside.
The kiwi fruit is not the big one that Li Yi used to eat, it is relatively small.
Chestnuts and walnuts are wrapped in the outer skin, and it is not clear what the inside looks like.
Li Yi jumped out of the car, took out a kiwi fruit from the basket, peeled it with his hands, and asked while peeling, "Is it easy to sell?" ”
"Kiwi fruit came out everywhere, and it couldn't be sold at a high price, and it couldn't stay for too many days.
Walnuts are hard to eat, and some people come to collect them, and the price given is not as high as those sold in Chang'an City.
Chestnuts can be left for a little longer, and chestnuts can be eaten as food, and at the end of the year, they go to the mountains to pick them, so that they can leave more money for their families. ”
The young man watched Li Yi peel his skin there and put down the basket, apparently he had just come down from the mountain, covered in dew.
"Have you ever thought about drying kiwifruit, it can be stored for a long time, and if you are afraid that it will not be good, you can smoke it with sulfur.
Walnuts are stored for a long time, and if you want to open them, you can use something like a guillotine without smashing them.
Chestnuts, chestnuts, I don't know if the people in your county are willing to pool money to buy an iron pot.
If you want, you can take the chestnuts to Chang'an every day and sell them. ”
Li Yi peeled the kiwi fruit when he spoke, took a bite, sour, not so sweet, obviously not ripe, in order to preserve it for a few more days.
The young man stood there and looked at Li Yi carefully.
"Can you make money?" Waiting for Li Yi to finish eating the kiwi in a small bite, the young man asked with hope in his eyes.
"Yes, but you need a big iron pot, and you can burn both charred and coal underneath." Li Yi nodded.
"Proprietor Li, wait a minute." The boy put down his things and ran away.
"Li Dongzhu, chestnuts are boiled in a big pot?" Guo Ziyi asked the doubts in his heart.
He felt that it would taste better if it was cooked and eaten normally, and it would taste better if it was replaced by a large iron pot.
"Stir-fry." Li Yi smiled and took a walnut, and there was a green skin on the outside, and he weighed it twice.
"Guo Changshi, you see, this walnut now has a green skin, just bury it in the ground and simmer, and then the skin on the outside is easy to peel.
But how can you try to take out the walnut kernels inside, this thing can be pressed with a flat mouth like a guillotine.
If you want to take it out completely, it is best to take it out while it is wet, and the inside is not dry, and the pressure opening is complete.
The dried ones can be soaked, boiled, steamed, and pressed, and the inside is still very complete. ”
Li Yi threw the walnuts back into the basket and taught Guo Ziyi how to take walnut kernels.
Now the walnuts in Lantian County are not paper walnuts, they are very hard, second only to the wild walnuts in the northeast.
The wild walnuts in the northeast are simply not eaten by people, and they are smashed with a hammer, and it takes a lot of effort to smash them, and the meat inside is embedded in the shell, and then picked with a needle.
But if you finish boiling and press it with a machine, you can still take out the whole walnut kernels.
Guo Ziyi listened and learned, Li Dongzhu is full of knowledge.
"If the chestnuts are fried, are they peeled out and fried?" Guo Ziyi thought of eating.
"Fry it together with the shell, see if it is easy to break the shell, or not easy to break, not easy to break the shell, and make a small cut manually."
Li Yi took out a big thorn ball from the basket, and the ball was already open.
Li Yi broke it, took out a few chestnuts from it, and observed: "It looks like it needs to be cut, and it takes a little effort." ”
"Li Dongzhu, how do you cut it? I got it. Guo Ziyi pulled out a knife from his waist.
Li Yi threw one: "Cut horizontally, fry it and peel it." ”
Guo Ziyi received it in his hand, slashed it, and when he made a mouth, the skin was about to break: "Is that so?" ”
"Yes, after cutting it like this, it can be steamed, but there is a lot of water, and it is not as delicious as stir-frying."
Li Yi threw the chestnuts in his hand into the basket, turned around and went into the car to wash his hands.
When he came out, the boy had just run back, followed by a large group of teenagers.
"There, proprietor Li is there." The boy shouted as he ran.
A group of people ran over and gathered around the car and Li Yi, panting one by one.
Some people still have cuts in their hands, and they squeeze blood with their other hand there.
Judging by their clothes, they should have been the ones who went to the mountains in groups to pick kiwifruit, walnuts and chestnuts.
"Wait a minute." Li Yi said to everyone, he turned around and went into the car and brought out a basin of water, and went in to bring a basin again.
There are also soaps and hand towels, which are placed on the side.
Wash your hands and face with this basin of soap first, and then wash it again with another basin of water, so you don't have to be afraid of getting hurt.
Hearing that soap was available, the teenagers gathered around the basin, washed it with water, and carefully wiped the soap.
After washing everything, Li Yi took the alcohol: "Come over the injured, it hurts, bear with it." ”
The one who pinched his hand just now put on the money first, Li Yi wiped it with a cotton ball dipped in alcohol, the young man was stunned, took a deep breath, and it hurt.
"Are you going to scrape together money to buy a big iron pot? I don't think it's enough. ”
Li Yi talked about business, and the young man didn't feel any pain anymore, and wanted to make money.
"We need a little more from the housekeeper, and we can make up enough." The previous boy looked like he was going to take a chance.
"If you want to be in the house, you won't need it, so I will lend you money to buy a pot, and the profit will be doubled in a hundred days, so that the donkey will not roll."
Li Yi gives a high interest, one cent, one hundredth.
According to the calculation of 365 days a year, if you borrow one tassel, you can make a profit of 3 tassels and 65 yuan.
When a donkey rolls, it is 37.78 times the profit in a year, and 1.7 times the profit in 100 days.
The teenagers hesitated when they heard that they would have to change the money for a hundred days.
"It's done, can proprietor Li still have an iron pot? He must have a way for us to make money back in the pot. ”
The boy just now clenched his fists and agreed.
"Yes, proprietor Li is not short of that money, he just lets us know that there are some things to pay."
"We are willing, Li Dongzhu, don't want money, lend us a pot, and we will pay you back."
"We want to make money, and we believe in Li Dongzhu."
The teenagers spoke one after another, and they all thought that Li Yi would not cheat their money, and they didn't have much money worthy of being cheated by Li Yi.
Li Yi smiled and asked casually: "What will you do when you make a lot of money according to the method I taught?" ”
"I'm going to ...... home No, as long as you have money to build a new house, I want to bring more people to make money together. The boy spoke his mind.
"What about you?" Li Yi looked at the others.
"So do we." Several teenagers shouted at the same time.
"Okay, remember what you said today, and when you make money and don't do it, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Li Yi said solemnly to the teenagers.
