Father Li has been very busy recently, and together with the Chen Shi brothers, the Liu family and Qi You's acres of land each left one acre for Chungui to plant some taro and sweet potatoes.

Several of them are hard-working croppers, which is not a difficult task, the mountains are full of wild sweet potato vines, and it is easy to find, so I put together half an acre of land and planted it.

In the summer, the taro has already been harvested, and some time ago it was sent to the spring return one after another, and the sweet potatoes have also arrived, and the two families are busy every day without touching the ground, knowing that the spring return has not suffered, they have no leisure to care about Li Lan's sister-in-law's crazy affairs.

Today I was going to ask Zhigao to send the newly grown sweet potatoes to the spring return, loaded a donkey cart and was just about to leave, when I saw three or four women coming here from a distance, and my eyes lit up when I saw this cart of sweet potatoes.

"Zhigao is sent to the spring return? Ouch, so much, is this going to continue to open a shop in the spring? ”

Otherwise, how can I say that these people will drill camps, and I immediately thought of the shop.

Father Li waved his hand and told Zhigao to leave quickly, and then said with a cold face: "Haven't you forced all the shops in Chunhui to stop, what are you still opening?" ”

After saying that, he was about to enter the house, but he didn't think that the four women stopped him.

The one who was with him at the beginning, who was his cousin's niece, had a little apology on his face: "Uncle, we are also guilty in our hearts, don't you want to ask you to bring a message to the girl who returns to Chungui." ”

Daddy Li was vigilant: "What do you bring?" ”

A few people laughed: "You see that Chungui has not opened a shop and has not succeeded, but it is just a lack of goat's milk........"

Before he finished speaking, Daddy Li's expression on the side changed suddenly: "You still want Chungui to collect this goat's milk?!" ”

He rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Look at your tone, we also want to solve the difficulties of returning to the spring, and there is....... It's good for us to be on our own, and some of the money is not. ”

"Yes, if we want to be the same as before, let's provide goat's milk, and continue to open a shop in the spring, isn't it also a good thing, it's not good that Li Lan's sister-in-law has disturbed the friendship between us."

Father Li looked at them with drooping eyelids, and a burst of anger surged up, almost without opening his mouth to scold.

Friendship? No matter what the spring return means, the shop has stopped because of your coercion to raise the price, and now you can't please it and come to talk about friendship? Earlier, I returned to my heart, you didn't take it seriously, today you have torn your face, and you have come to seek peace.

After slowing down, he shook his head and waved his hand: "Spring return has its own arrangements, I don't use it to speak, you can settle down by yourself, the goat's milk is free to drink or feed the pigs and cows according to the past, you don't have to come to me, this busy farming season, take care of your own land." ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to go in, and the group of women became even more anxious when they saw this: "Hey, uncle, you can just bring a word, we also walked over there in Lizheng, but before we went in, we were kicked out by Sister-in-law Li, and we actually remembered the revenge for Chungui, so we can only come to you." I don't know what Chungui thinks, but the villagers, how can there be that overnight hatred. ”

Father Li turned his head to look at them and said, "Li Zheng didn't respond, do you think I will respond?" ”

Doesn't he take revenge for Chungui?

He sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, don't work blindly, let's live a good life, in the end, that matter is also led by those two people, if you don't mention it, others won't mention it, and you will forget it after a long time, and it won't be ugly to meet when you come back in the spring." ”

Harmony on the surface can always be taken care of.

Speaking of this, Father Li didn't say anything more, and walked inside. My wife pickled bean skin in the kitchen, and I didn't dare to do more in such a hot weather, only a few days to make something enough to eat, but today is different, thinking that the children in the town have not eaten this taste for many days, so I made a full jar, and then he followed Zhigao to send it up, and the plums on the mountain are also ripe, red, and a mouthful of juice, which is his little grandson Zhiyuan's favorite food.

In short, a few children are living a good life, how can they take care of so much!

Seeing Daddy Li enter the door, several people were anxious and annoyed.

"I should have known that Li Lan should not have been bothered! Now even Lizheng and Uncle are angry with us! ”

"On this day, a bucket and a half were poured, I didn't think it before, but now all the silver that has fallen is white flowers!"

Ordinary people have paid taxes for farming a year, and it is already calculated that they can save three or four taels after deducting the family's food and clothing.

But if you still do this business with Chungui as before, there will always be half a year of goat milk to send, ten cents a day, and nearly two taels in half a year, which can catch up with half of the harvest of farming. As long as the shop returns from the spring does not fall, this income will not stop, but look at it now........

Several women sighed in unison.

"Li Lan, who killed a thousand knives, she had better not go out, I have to scold her to death when she goes out!"

-

Besides, in that town, life is much smoother after the crisis is resolved. Zhixing has done enough to raise his legs at home, but he heard that Chang Fuman was ordered by his father not to go to county school.

Ben also spent money to get in, not to mention that he couldn't learn, and offended a bunch of people, think about Zhou Han from Gaomen, and then think about the Liu family brothers who are expected to take the scientific examination, Master Chang was afraid for a while, so he simply took his son home and taught Anfen to do business.

Hearing the news, the Liu family was not surprised, Zhou Han poked his heart hard that day, but if he had a sense of distress, he would no longer indulge Chang Fuman and become a scourge unconsciously.

In short, it's good that the two people in the family will not meet again when they go to the county school.

After Miss Guo left that day, Chun Gui asked Geng Rong to follow the people of Guo Mansion to see the ranch, because a few barrels a day is not a big business, and the little steward of the ranch can call the shots.

When Zhigao sent the cart of sweet potatoes this morning, she was teaching the three cooks sent by Guo Ruyi to make dim sum.

The cellar was dug in three days, and after sitting for a day, Zhou Han sent a lot of ice cubes, which are now stored just right, and if you want to use them, you will take some of them.

The three chefs are all veterans for many years, and they have long heard of the shop of Chungui, and at first they thought that Chungui should always hold some important recipes, but they didn't expect it to be so simple.

Jasmine almond tea bags can remove the milky smell, the grass vine fruit that can be seen everywhere on weekdays is a must, and the dried meat baked by several medicinal herbs has a unique flavor, which is the most common thing, and it is so unique and appropriate to match.

"Yue Niangzi is all figured out by herself?"

Chungui smiled: "The countrymen have eaten too much of this ordinary food, but they just put a little effort into it." ”

The cook admired: "Yue Niangzi can make ordinary things unique, she should be talented." ”

"Don't dare to be a few masters, I heard Miss Guo say, several of them have entertained a lot of nobles in Kyoto, and there are many unique jobs in their hands, I just thought about something a little, and I didn't dare to be a talent."

Chungui secretly exhaled, how can she have talent, what she does is all over the street, taking advantage of the times.

It's just that there are enough of these things in this town, and there are fewer of them in a big place like Kyoto. The dim sum has a ball of sweet potatoes and meat and vegetables, and spiced mountain goods jerky,

These are all gadgets and snacks, so can you add some staple food?

Chungui watched the three of them ponder the jerky, and they also pondered the fresh staple food, and Zhigao came over at this time.

A cart of sweet potatoes was unloaded by Geng Rong and Li Zhicun together and stored in a subordinate room that is now used as a warehouse.

"Second brother is here! Come and try the newly made sweets! Chungui saw that he was sweating profusely, and just wanted to make a bowl of ice for him, and several cooks on the side immediately compared with Chungui's, one looked like he fished out the cold milk, one pounded the ice, and the other grinded the jam, and the three of them worked together to make a bowl of milk ice and handed it to Zhigao. He took out a few pieces of baked jerky from the pot and put them on a plate and asked him to taste them.

Chungui secretly sighed, or how to say the housekeeping skills, sugar water desserts are easy to make, but it is not easy to dry meat, the amount of each ingredient, the baking time has to be recorded. But as soon as these three people cooperate, it is not difficult to look at it.

On such a summer day, Zhigao took this bowl of cold and cold things, just drank a mouthful of sweat and took it, although the jerky was baked, the juice in it was firmly locked, and the spring return made the same taste, but it was more dry than this, this is the power of professional cooks.

After eating, Zhigao boasted: "It's delicious!" This jerky is chewy and not dry, so it's delicious! ”

When the three cooks heard this compliment, they were all full of pride.

This time, it was the turn of Chun Hui to ask for advice.

After the spring return, he left the kitchen to them, and followed Zhigao back to the main house.

Chungui opened his mouth to leave a meal: "Second brother, stay at home to eat, Zhiyuan and they will come back to eat at noon, I have grown taller these days, you can go back and talk to Grandpa Li." ”

Zhigao is not twisted, and should be down immediately. It's just that he came with Daddy Li's entrustment, and just after looking ahead, the door of the shop was closed tightly, so he opened his mouth to ask about the current situation, and told the manager about taking someone to Xiaoliangshan to block Li Lan.

The matter is basically over, and Chun Gui also knows that it is time to open a shop Kuankuan Xiaoliangshan is worried about their group of people, so he said: "Ah Rong has already gone to see the ranch on the outskirts of the town, and the milk there has also been negotiated, if the second brother is convenient here, I will reopen the shop in five days, or the second brother will help transport goat milk, and the daily price is still the same as before, what do you think?" ”

Zhigao was overjoyed when he heard this: "Convenient, how can I be inconvenient." It's good to be able to open a shop, you don't know that although grandpa doesn't mention it in the past few days, he is also a little anxious in his heart, this is not that I am coming today, he can't help but ask me to ask you. ”

Chun Gui's heart warmed: "Tell Grandpa Li to rest assured, I can't have anything happen here." The second brother is convenient, and he will ask Ah Rong to take you over to recognize the place later. ”

Chigo: "Success!" No problem! ”

As for Fu Steward going to Xiaoliangshan to make trouble, it should be Zhou Han's earlier provocation, which made him sprinkle all his anger on Li Lan's sister-in-law.

Chun Gui didn't care at all: "He shouldn't come again when he gets back the silver." "This matter is a humiliation for the Fu steward, and I wish I could forget it quickly after I was angry.

Hearing her say this, Zhigao was also relieved.

The two were talking in the main hall, and Zhigao talked about some big and small things in the township, which made Chungui miss it a little. In the end, she has been staying for more than half a year, the pool at the door of her house, and the vegetable field are all taken care of by herself.

"I'll go back to Xiaoliangshan to take a look later, those aunts in the township are probably in a hurry because of the goat's milk, and I'm afraid that they will find Grandpa Li and Uncle Li Zheng as soon as they are in a hurry."

Zhigao nodded: "You set a date, I'll talk to grandpa." ”

Chungui smiled: "Even if it is time for a few children to rest, they will come over together when the time comes." ”

"That's a good idea, I'll pick you up by car!"

Chungui was full of smiles and didn't shirk: "Then thank you, Brother Zhigao!" ”

Li Zhigao heard this thanks, touched the back of his head, and immediately said embarrassedly: "What is there to thank for!" ”

The two were chatting happily, and unconsciously Qi You was walking from the study, and when he saw this scene, he paused, stopped and stood on the edge of Chungui, and said lightly:

"Second brother is here."
