"I really can't eat it, and I'll die if I eat it anymore." Da Biao waved his hand straight, unable to do anything about the little hot pot broth left in the pot. "Pillar, can you still eat, there is still half a pot of broth here."

The pillar stood on the side with a full septum, his hands on his belly, but when he heard that there was broth, his eyes still lit up, and he came over with his legs.

Li Xiao looked at the pillar with some concern, "You can really eat it, but don't eat it." ”

"I can't eat pork, but I can't eat chicken soup and beef soup." The pillar stared at the pot, looked at the soup in the pot and sniffed. He was already very full of this meal, at least he ate more than a pound of pork, not to mention a large pot of pork bone broth, a pot of radishes stewed in the bones, and two large bowls of noodles.

Such a thin person, with a flat belly, at least four or five pounds of things down, makes people wonder how to fit the belly.

But the belly is full, but the heart is not full. The pillar has grown so big, and he really hasn't eaten a few full meals, and if he hadn't been hungry back then, he wouldn't have rebelled in order to be able to eat a full meal and die again.

Before today, the pillar had never eaten beef. Although when he was very young, he herded cattle for the landlord's family at the head of the village and drove the butt of the cow for several years, but he didn't even know what the taste of beef was, and today he still tasted beef for the first time.

Just now each of them got two large slices of beef, and he almost swallowed it, and he regretted it after eating, why didn't he taste it carefully.

"Save this soup for tomorrow to cook soup cakes and eat them." Li Xiao said, he was really worried that the group of people in the pillar would be a good one. Many people, such as Zhuzi, have always been hungry in their memories, and when they have the opportunity to let go of eating, they don't know how to stop.

"Brother, I can still have another bowl of beef soup."

Zhang Onion and Liu Garlic over there also came over, looking at the Tiliang copper pot with blank eyes, although their stomachs were already very large, and they were still satiated. But looking at their pitiful appearance, Li Xiao couldn't refuse.

"Half a bowl for one person, after eating, each person remember to drink a bowl of hawthorn water, can't lie down, and walk around the yard ten times to eat." Li Xiao was helpless.

In his later life, he had a small earth dog when he was a child, and he was very cute, and he liked this puppy very much. But because I love this kind of puppy too much, I always secretly feed the local dog something to eat, and this puppy doesn't know how to stop, and eat as much as he feeds.

Finally, one day, the puppy died because he ate a large piece of meat that he fed him after he was full.

Those who have never been hungry will not know that those who are often hungry are obsessed with food.

If they weren't allowed to drink that little soup today, they would not give up, and Li Xiao had to give in in the end.

Fortunately, he also knew that people at this time did have a large amount of food, and it was really common to eat two catties of meat, that is, it was more than one or twenty steamed cakes, as for the radish broth, it was simply an addition, and it was said that there was no fullness when drinking cold water.

Let those who have never been hungry, who are not short of oil and water, and who do not do physical work in later generations eat two bowls of dry rice, they all feel that they can support, let alone eat a few catties of meat, but in this year, no one will let go of having the opportunity to eat a few catties of meat.

Today, even Wanniang ate half a bowl of meat, two bowls of knife-cut noodles, and two bowls of radish soup.

Li Zhen, a teenage girl, also ate three or four bowls of food.

As for a rough man like Da Biao, who didn't eat four or five catties of soup and meat, soup cakes and vegetables.

"This way of eating, the hundred stone of grain we bought, we won't be able to eat for long." Mr. Zhao also ate with a mouth full of oil today, and while spacing, he was still picking his teeth with a willow branch. Being able to pick your teeth is a good day.

"Happy today, everyone eat more. It is estimated that tomorrow, everyone will not be able to eat much, and in normal times, where can you eat like this every day, even if you have it every day, you can't eat it. ”

"The house is coming back, and the debt is forgiven, but now there are more than fifty people eating, and we don't have any other property except for the jasper green, so it's not a long-term thing." Saburo, do you have any other plans? ”

Although the Li family has survived a major crisis, in the final analysis, there are only a few dozen acres of mountainous land left in the ancestral grave field, and that little barren land cannot produce anything at all, let alone feed so many more than 50 people.

Do something, Li Xiao hasn't thought about it yet.

In fact, Li Xiao feels that there are many things to do, and there are a lot to do, such as papermaking, winemaking, sugar making, and refining salt, but to be honest, these things, the water is too deep, where do ordinary people dare to enter. If you don't have any power, you won't even have scum left if you venture in.

Even if you catch the Xue family now, it will not be easy.

Li Xiao gave the Xue family the secret recipe for sugar decolorization, but the Xue family didn't think about keeping it themselves, or this thing was hot.

Farming is the old business of most landlords, but there are too few acres of land.

In these years, landlords who have a little money still know that in addition to renting out their fields, they should do something else to buy, such as opening a shop in the township or county, or lending money to collect interest. Land is fundamental, but it is not enough to be rich.

Cucumbers can still be sold for a few stubble, but in fact, the market in Chang'an is so big, the supply has increased, and the price will inevitably fall, so this business is so large, there is no room for deep expansion.

"It's not the Chinese New Year yet, and there is still a long time before the beginning of spring next year, and the weather is cold, and there is nothing to do. Or go chop wood and burn charcoal? ”

In winter, there is a great demand for charcoal, especially here near Chang'an, and charcoal burning does not require much technology and cost, there are men in the Zhuangzi, there is firewood on the mountain, dig a charcoal kiln and then chop firewood to burn, how much can always make some money.

"It's too difficult and too little to make money in this way." Li Xiao shook his head, he has never looked down on this kind of money-making method that relies on death strength, people are tired, but they can't make a few dollars.

"I have an idea, what do you think we should do to dig a pond to raise fish?"

"Dig a pond to raise fish?" Mr. Zhao was stunned.

Although there are many rivers such as Jingwei in Guanzhong, there are many plateaus and mountains, and there is a lack of water, and people in many places have never eaten fish at all.

Eating fish, especially raising fish and selling live fish, this is indeed a good business, and even listed as one of the most profitable transactions by the ancients, but in ancient times, fish farming was not easy to do, and there were many technical problems, such as how to breed fish fry, how to sell fish live to the market, especially this sales problem.

In particular, the transportation of live fish can be quite difficult.

Li Xiao has the idea of raising fish, mainly because he found that there were fish in the spiritual spring in his space, and he only saw one for the first time, but last time he saw a group, although the spring is not big, and the group of eyes inside is still just a small fry, but Li Xiao feels that since his space is so magical, cucumbers can grow so well, the fish fry in the spring water will definitely be very different if they are moved out for breeding.

Mr. Zhao is not very optimistic about fish farming, and no one in the Li family has ever raised fish, and he has no experience and technology. Besides, this is not far from Chang'an, but it is also eighty miles away, the fish is really raised, how can it be transported to Chang'an freshly at that time, if it is not guaranteed to be alive, the dead fish will not be sold for a price.

"Let's talk about it then." Li Xiao didn't think about how to solve this problem, and said helplessly.
