The remaining half of the sentence was stuck in her throat, and Lin Huan'er just opened her mouth half-open, watching the rotten wooden board splash the milky white bone broth in the pot.

She had a thought in her mind that the ancient rain should not be polluted, right? Is it too late to take out those bones and gnaw them off quickly?

Zeng was also stunned on the spot, she looked up at the roof in a daze, only to see a square of gloomy sky, and the rain mixed with the grass blades and dust on the roof.

After a while, she patted Lin Huan'er on the back as if she had eased up, "Quick, go and sit on the bamboo couch, take off your clothes and cover the quilt, don't catch a cold." ”

The roof on the other side of the bamboo couch was repaired by Li Yuan, so it should not collapse.

Sending her granddaughter away, she took out a wooden basin from under the table and walked to the stove, and was a little dazed, there is a basin at home, which is used to catch rainwater, and it is also used to hold the bones stewed in the pot?

Lin Huan'er sat on the couch, letting her wet clothes stick to herself, she took out a piece of milk candy from the space and stuffed it into her mouth, turned her head distraughtly, and saw Zeng standing in front of the stove in a daze.

"Grandma, take out the bones, don't fish the pot is full of rain. Don't catch the rain, it's such a heavy rain, you can't catch it. ”

"Hey!" Zeng was a little sober at this time. She took a spoon and took out all the bones in the pot, brought it to the front of the collapse, thought about it, and took it away, "Don't eat it yet, wait for the rain to stop and get hot before eating, otherwise it will hurt your stomach." ”

Lin Huan'er nodded, her expression was gloomy, "Grandma, let's use the money we earn to build a house first." She was afraid that Zeng's would feel sorry for the money, and added, "It doesn't matter if it's big or not, at least it must be able to shelter from the wind and rain." ”

Zeng sighed, "Okay, it's better to build a bigger one, there can be a special place for grain and water tanks, and it is more convenient for you to make food." ”

Otherwise, the little granddaughter is always afraid that the heavy rain will pour her food, and she can't bear to see the little granddaughter sleeping unsteadily.

"Grandma, you don't have to give me a share of the money you made this time, let's take out the money given to the Li family, and use the rest to build a house."

"That's right, Li family." Lin Huan'er suddenly thought, "I saw Li Zheng standing at the door with an umbrella just now, as if Grandpa Li was not at home, grandma, should we go and ask?" ”

"You sit here, I'll ask." After speaking, Zeng took two coats and went out.

Not long after going out, Zeng's came back, she carefully stepped past the mud and water main house, walked to the collapse and sat down, "It was said that Lao Li went out and hasn't come back yet." I told him not to come," she sighed, "but it's good to come, we can't fit anyone in a broken house." ”

She took off her straw sandals and dried her feet with a cloth, "Sleep, tomorrow will be fine." ”

"Well," Lin Huan'er lay on the couch listlessly, milk candy can calm her mood, but she can't stop the hunger in her stomach, she only ate half of the meat bun in the morning, and the remaining half was given to grandma, in addition, she didn't eat this day.

"Grandma?" Lin Huan'er lay in the quilt and carefully called Zeng's.

"Gollum ......" Without waiting for Zeng's answer, her stomach crumbled first.

Zeng pressed his stomach, "What?" ”

Lin Huan'er stopped the sentence "I'm hungry" and paused for a while, "Let's build a big brick house like the Li family, right?" ”

"That's at least more than 20 taels of silver, and I have to buy a homestead with Li Zheng."

"I can make money," Lin Huan'er whispered under the covers, "I can definitely make money." ”

……

When I woke up, the rain stopped.

One of the grandparents cleaned up the pot and stove, and the other went to inspect the ten large vats of pickled plums.

Seeing that the plums inside were fine, Lin Huan'er relieved herself.

The grandfather and grandson discussed it, and the plum at home is a long night dream after all, so it is better for the two of them to work hard and push it to Jinyuan Restaurant as soon as possible to exchange it for silver. At this time, the firewood in the house was wet, and even if they wanted to cook, they couldn't light the fire, so it happened that the two of them went to the town to eat.

A large vat with plums has more than 120 catties, Zeng first borrowed a trolley from the villagers, two grandparents and grandchildren, one cart, one holding the jar, carefully walked in the direction of Hujia Wharf.

It was noon when I arrived at Hujia Wharf, and I didn't eat all night this day, Zeng knew that my little granddaughter must be hungry, so I went to buy four buns first, and the grandparents and grandchildren ate the buns by devouring the buns in a big vat before continuing to push the vat to Jinyuan Restaurant.

Shopkeeper Liu was still standing in yesterday's position, and when he saw the two of them coming, a rare smile bloomed on his serious face, "Do you still have braised plums?" I will send it all over after I do it, and I will accept it all. ”

Yesterday, many guests said that they wanted to take some away, and he was afraid that the plum would not be available, so he still limited the quantity, and sold out the plum in just one day.

Life on the ship was boring, the wine did not quench thirst, the water was too bland, and some small merchants could not afford to drink tea. This braised plum water is sweet and sour to quench thirst, and can replenish salt, and it is not shameful to entertain people, how to think about how cost-effective.

Listening to the shopkeeper Liu's words, Lin Huan'er also guessed that the braised plum water must be selling well yesterday, she smiled, "There is still a tank, but it will not be delivered until ten days later." After that, the green plum will be next season, and we will not make the braised plum water, but we will make a small candied fruit made of plums, which can be eaten, boiled and drunk, and then brought to the shopkeeper to taste. ”

"That's a good feeling." Shopkeeper Liu smiled and bent his eyes, and after arranging for Xiao Er to come over and weigh him, he settled the final payment.

"Where are the green plums, the plums in the back mountain are ripe." As soon as he went out, Zeng said urgently.

Lin Huan'er smiled, "There are still on the mountain, the temperature on the mountain is low, the plums must be ripe late, the plums on the mountain are not enough, we can also go to the village that lives in the mountains to collect, I have seen the market sell before, the green plums are about three copper plates a catty, we must go to collect it cheaper than this, come back to make brine plum water to make money." ”

"That's a good idea." After figuring it out, Zeng bought two more vats, bought some sugar and salt, and went to the pastry shop to buy a box of peach crisps, ready to be used as a thank you gift for the Li family.

In the past few days, the money from selling braised plum water has been added together, a total of five taels of silver, five cents of money are deducted from the Li family, and the cost of returning to the Li family is one or two or two dollars, and the grandparents and grandchildren can still have three taels or three dollars left. Zeng thought about it, but still felt that he would divide it into two pieces of silver for Lin Huan'er. She believes that her little granddaughter will not spend money indiscriminately, and she will hold the money in her little granddaughter's hand, and the little granddaughter will go to Li's house in the future, and what new skills have she been taught her, and when she wants to pay the capital, at least she doesn't have to go home to discuss, and she can get the money out.

Don't let people teach their own crafts, and you have to mutter, how did the grandparents and grandchildren deduct and search, and even the cost had to be discussed.

Subtract and subtract, and then count the money spent, and the money in Zeng's hand is left with more than two taels of silver, plus her original one tael, it is more than three taels.

It's still far from building a house, but Zeng is already very happy, she can't remember how long she hasn't touched so much silver, it's only been less than a month, if this business can continue for a long time, wouldn't it be that she doesn't have to worry about it in this life.

It's a pity that the time limit for the listing of green plums is too short.

When they got home, the grandparents and grandchildren understood the account, and knocked on the door of the Li family together with the peach cake.

When Li Yuan opened the door, he looked a little haggard, and his eyes were dark and blue, as if he hadn't slept well last night.

"Lao Li, thanks to you and Li Zheng's blessings, all the green plums have been sold! I'm sending you money. Zeng said loudly to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan's eyes widened, "What?" All sold?! ”

"Yes! I just finished delivering the goods in the morning, no, I'll send you money as soon as I finish the account at two o'clock. ”

"Nothing left?!" The light in Li Yuan's eyes dimmed instantly.
