Chapter 28 028 Livelihood
Li saw it, and Wan Niang also saw it.
It's just that since Wang Wenyao endured it, she didn't want them to find out, and Wanniang could understand the self-esteem of these little teenagers.
Li didn't think too much about it when he fed Wang Wenyao meat slices, and now he feels very distressed when he thinks about it.
There are countless children who have been lost in family planning, this child is a child saved by Wang Jian like saving his daughter, I don't know who Abba and Aunt are, Wang Jian was fine when he was here, but Wang Jian was probably not doing well after he got sick, it was really pitiful.
Li Shi fried the garlic sprouts and fried the meat, and the pot near the chimney was already hot. She washed the cauldron, added water, blanched the chicken pieces, and added green onions, ginger, goji berries, and shiitake mushrooms...... Once the cauldron is boiling, scoop it into the pot near the chimney and close the lid. Let the residual heat from the stir-fry pot go over and simmer, and simmer slowly.
After Li finished scooping the soup, Wan Niang changed hands and washed the cauldron. When the Li family changes hands, you can fry the chili pepper back to the pot meat.
Before the meat was fried, Xu Hong came back, and most of his dishes were sold out, only a handful of water spinach that didn't sell well. Wan Niang took it out and washed it, and after frying the meat and oil in the pot, Li also fried the water spinach.
Xu Hong and Wan Niang brought the dishes to the table in the hall after Li finished stir-frying, and Li asked Wang Wenyao to extinguish the fire monkeys, so he scooped out the chicken soup behind the chimney and filled a large pot.
After the meal was cooked and the dishes were ready, Li asked Xu Hong to call Xu Hu back for dinner. Xu Hong listened, ran to the gate of the courtyard, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Abba! Came back for dinner! The voice was so loud that it echoed from the upper and lower villages.
"Huh! I'll be back soon! Xu Hu's voice in response came after a while.
In the countryside, when the family is called home for dinner, they all shout like this, and when it comes to noon mealtime, they will hear such a voice. It's just that Wanniang has seen it, but she hasn't seen it in her previous life, so she smiled very happily.
Xu Hu came back after a while, still carrying a hare with shiny fur in his hand, but it looked like it had been dead for a while.
"Today I was lucky enough to catch a rabbit in a trap. Tomorrow you'll make it and eat it. Xu Hu said to Li with a smile.
"Let you go less to the trap, there are tigers in the mountains, you don't listen." Li took the rabbit and glared at Xu Hu reproachfully.
"Hahaha, isn't it good to catch wild things and beat your teeth to make up for your body?" Xu Hu smiled, sat on the main seat of the big table in the hall, picked up the chopsticks and ate, and said to Wan Niang and them while eating, "Eat." ”
Needless to say than Xu Hu said, they also picked up the dishes and chopsticks and ate them, Wang Wenyao and Wang Yu hadn't eaten meat for a long time, and they couldn't stop eating meat. Wan Niang frowned when she saw it, and wanted to say something, but Li pulled her, "I want to teach, and I will teach it next time." The child hasn't eaten for a long time, let them eat well. "The poor two children are distressed to look at.
Wan Niang also felt sorry for the two children and did not speak again. Yes, it is okay to teach children literacy and politeness at any time, but for now, she still has to indulge her children.
Wan Niang took out the picture she drew from her purse and put it in front of Xu Hu, "Abba, I'm going to do this, where can a blacksmith do it?" ”
Xu Hu flipped it over while eating, and pointed to the outer skin of Wan Niang's painting, "This bucket is a big paint bucket, right?" I remember that there was one of the six families, and I don't know from which construction site it was taken from and used to load grain. ”
"Well, Abba, do you know where it's sold? If you have this paint bucket, you will have much less money to find a blacksmith. I'll find the stove myself, and I can tie the wire rack myself. Wan Niang hurriedly asked.
"What are you doing with this thing?" Xu Hu looked at Wan Niang and asked.
"Abba, it's fifteen in a few days, and I want to make money by setting up a stall for roasted sweet potatoes." Wan Niang didn't hide it from Xu Hu, anyway, she was alone, and such a big stove couldn't carry the mountain, "Yanzi told me today that there are many people in the city who will come to our temple in the fifteenth, I think about it, there is no big stove in the city, basically sweet potatoes are boiled and eaten, steamed and eaten." Roasted sweet potatoes can definitely sell well. On the fifteenth day, I went up to the mountains to sell them, and if they could sell well, I would go to the town to sell roasted sweet potatoes. ”
"Well, good. Then I'll go to your sixth uncle in the afternoon and ask. I'll get you a big paint bucket to make a stove. Xu Hu listened to Wanniang's words and promised to help Wanniang find something to make a stove for roasting sweet potatoes.
Xu Hu didn't say what the cost was like Li, nor did he say how to do it if he failed, just like Wanniang's third brother wanted to go out to work, and he didn't stop it. He only told Wanniang's third brother that he couldn't live outside, so he would come back, and his home would always be your home.
Xu Hu is an honest farmer, although he is said to be tall and big, but he never dares to take risks. There are also people in the village who have made a fortune in business and built small buildings, and he is also envious. But he just didn't dare to do business, he was afraid.
When they were young, the Li family would make sesame candy, peanut candy, and maltose or something, and if they had made sugar to sell in the whole workshop at home at that time, they would have made a fortune a long time ago, and they would not have had to throw away their three children in the year of the drought.
But he didn't have the courage, he was afraid of losing money in business, and he was afraid of failure. Fail, and there's nothing.
But Wan Niang wants to do business and has more courage than him, so he will support her. failed, it's a big deal that his daughter raised herself.
After eating, Xu Hu instructed Xu Hong to take Wanniang to the town to pick a suitable stove, and he went to his sixth brother's house with fruits. Li was at home with three children, and the three children took a nap after dinner, so Li took advantage of this time to feed pigs and chickens, ducks and geese.
The summer sun is very hot, and generally no one goes out at this time, even if there is farm work to do, most of them will go out at three or four o'clock, even if they work a little later, it doesn't matter, they won't go out at noon. But it was really far to go to town, and Xu Hong got up at four o'clock in the morning to get up and leave in order to occupy a place early to sell vegetables. If they go late, they may not be able to come back in the afternoon. So they had to eat lunch and go out.
Xu Hong took Wan Niang to the shop that sold stoves in the town, the shop was full of all kinds of stoves, pots and pans, only the outside of the shop was a stove, most of them were honeycomb coal stoves of different sizes, and there were also carbon fires in the middle, and a water boiling stove with water on the outside layer looked a bit similar to the hot pot basin in the previous life.
"Boss, can you order a carbon stove here?" Wan Niang didn't fancy anyone, so she had to ask the boss.
"Yes, but the custom-made ones are two dollars more expensive than the ones I sell." The boss was sharpening a piece of iron, and he didn't raise his head back to Wan Niang.
Wan Niang pointed to the water stove that was a bit similar to the hot pot basin, and said with a smile: "Just make this water stove like this, don't need the iron wrapped outside." You give me a cheaper. ”
"No, no, no, you either buy a ready-made peel yourself, or you can make it custom, and the price of the custom is set, and it will not be changed." The boss waved his hand and said that he would not sell it.
Wan Niang is not a fool, the finished water stove is fired, just like the red brick of the porcelain bowl, the iron sheet and peat are tightly wrapped, if she buys it back, it will definitely be sparse.
