Chapter 192: Starting Something Else
Lu Caiqing listened, looked back at the lively people in the village and smiled: "Folks! Look at it, just Sister Xiaoyan's dress, who believes that she is here to help our Song family work? ”
Looking at the lively laughter, everyone has seen Chen Xiaoyan seducing Song Ziyu, and now this gorgeous outfit with eyebrows and sideburns is here to work, and fools don't believe it.
The village chief and his family said embarrassedly: "Cai Qing! Your family has enough hands, so we won't add to the mess, so we'll go back first. ”
Without waiting for Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu to speak, they pulled their daughters away, and the village chief Chen Youwang was not a taste while walking, and asked Chen Xiaoyan angrily: "You say!" You promised us at home to change your mind, what are you making trouble today? ”
Chen Xiaoyan replied with a wince: "Mother! Look Daddy! They don't believe me, I said that I would be friends with them, and beg them for forgiveness. ”
"You! Just you, I don't look like you have a changing attitude, but like a demonstration to others, you remember me, and you, don't cover her up, if you're doing something sorry for others, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people. After saying that, he turned around and left first.
When Chen Xiaoyan saw it, she shook her mother's sleeve and whispered, "Mother!" I'm really begging for forgiveness, can you trust me? ”
"Yan'er! Listen to your father, if it weren't for the people who picked up the green and asked someone to intercede, you would still be suffering in the Yan family? Mother advises you to repay your kindness, don't be confused again, okay? The village chief's daughter-in-law persuaded earnestly.
Chen Xiaoyan lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Mother! You can rest assured! I know what to do, and I will not make you sad. ”
After speaking, he took her mother's arm and walked all the way home, with a mysterious smile on her face.
After a busy day, relying on the large number of people, two acres of sweet potatoes were quickly weighed and loaded, and the output of two acres reached 3,000 catties, according to the calculation of one catty and five cents, a total of 15 taels of silver.
The crowd of onlookers looked at it, fifteen taels is a lot of silver? That's enough for an average family for a year. Everyone squeezed their heads to see what kind of thing was so valuable.
Lu Caiqing calculated that in addition to the deposit that had been paid at the beginning, Lin Huaijin had to pay another five taels of silver.
After everyone cleared the money, Ma Feiyi's master and servant returned to the city with Lin Huaijin's convoy. Seeing off Ma Feiyi and Liu Fu, Lu Caiqing looked at Lin Huaijin, who seemed to be smiling, and asked, "Your convoy is gone, what are you still staying for?" ”
Lin Huaijin looked left and right at the sweet potato field, which was dug up and did not look like it, and hurriedly said: "I will stay to deal with the aftermath, and I estimate that this sweet potato seedling will also be transported home!" There are still a lot of medium and small sweet potatoes buried in the ground, I won't help you rummage for a second time, tomorrow the people in the village will all come to rob you up, and then see what kind of seeds you will use next year? ”
"Shhhh Be quiet! The villagers here are not as conscious as you, they don't know how to rummage through them again, and if you tell me that you leak out, I'll drive you back to the city. Lu Caiqing scared him.
"Good! I'm not going to say it! In fact, Liu Fu also informed me that Bai Xiaoran would come here to collect fish in a few days, and by the way, I would do some private things, I miss the mountains and rivers here, and I want to stay a few more days nostalgic! Lin Huaijin finally said the reason for staying.
As soon as Lu Caiqing heard what he said, Bai Xiaoran subconsciously looked at Xia Yunge, fortunately he didn't react, he shouldn't have heard it, it's better not to tell him, so as not to think nonsense.
Taking advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, Ziyu, Ziwu and Brother Li and their men first pulled the seeds of the sweet potatoes home, and then shoveled the sweet potato seedlings with shovels, and then used their own ox carts to pull them home.
Lu Caiqing took Sister-in-law Li, Zifei and Yun Ge, as well as Shuangzhu, and they were rummaging for the second time from the beginning little by little. Lin Huaijin will do this and that for a while, not in a shop, Lu Caiqing doesn't care about this uncle, he does whatever he likes, just don't talk nonsense.
When it was time for dinner, Li Duoer specially called everyone to eat, and Aunt Xia also boiled a large pot of sweet potatoes with pickaxe wounds and made a few side dishes to celebrate the sweet potato harvest.
After dinner, when Brother Lin and Aunt Liu's mother and son went back, they also took some back, although most of them were pickaxe injuries, but they did not affect eating, and these sweet potatoes with pickaxe injuries would rot if they were not eaten as soon as possible, so everyone didn't mind solving them first.
When he was idle at night, Lu Caiqing also took Yun Ge and Zifei to pick some young leaves on the tender green sweet potato seedlings, these sweet potato leaves have the effect of anti-cancer and anti-aging, so sweet potato leaves have the "queen of vegetables" in the vegetable category, so Lu Caiqing remembered to cook with delicious sweet potato leaves, everyone had eaten them very refreshing before, so they also liked to eat them very much.
It's the end of October, and it's almost November, and it's not bad to put things in the cellar, so keep more, otherwise the sweet potato seedlings will soon dry into dry potato seedlings after a few days.
On the second day, Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu took their brothers to rummage for the second time, and they were almost found before they went home, Lu Caiqing looked at the slender sweet potatoes and suddenly missed the potato chips he bought at home, those potato chips were simply spicy and delicious, I really missed them.
Looking at the small sweet potatoes all over the ground, there is no need to use them in vain, even if they can't be made, there is nothing wasted. Just do it, she started a fire in the stove room, first cleaned the sweet potatoes, then peeled them and cut them into slices for later use, poured in lard, although a bit of luxury, but for the sake of delicious potato chips are also out, and when the oil temperature is hot, the potato chips are fried. The main heat should be steady, and the potato chips turn golden brown and take out.
Scoop it in a basin and take it out for everyone to taste, although there is no cumin on it, but there is pepper and chili powder are all homemade by Lu Caiqing, sprinkled on top, sweet and crispy, and the taste is excellent.
Even Lin Huaijin was full of praise, Lu Caiqing said: "This is a series with Kende Duck, and when I see Bai Xiaoran, it is another income to sell the method." ”
Lin Huaijin looked at the proud Lu Caiqing's appearance of being a fan of wealth, and when he heard it, he let the kid take advantage of him, and muttered: "Caiqing!" You're a bit biased in doing that! We've known each other for a longer time than him, and you're thinking about that stinky boy wholeheartedly, I don't do it, I'll be impartial at the price he gave, and I'll take this potato chip recipe. ”
"Brother Lin! Aren't you buying and selling? So be it! This potato chip is a series with Kende duck, he sells it, and if you sell this single variety, I'm afraid that you won't sell well, people pay attention to bundled marketing, I think you won't understand this meaning, Brother Lin! Lu Caiqing said bitterly.
"That'...... Then you have to find a way, give me a cuisine, you have to be able to compete with him, that kid's Manjinglou is almost overpowering my Juxian Building. Lin Huaijin said dissatisfiedly.
"Let me think! It really stumped me. Lu Caiqing had no idea for a while, and he seemed very embarrassed.
Seeing this, Lin Huaijin said again: "Don't be in a hurry, as long as you are attentive, I don't care about the length of time." ”
While chatting, Aunt Xia suddenly asked, "Cai Qing!" I heard that Qingyuan and his family are bickering today? ”
"Yes! On the way back, I asked Sister-in-law Li! said that Brother Li was upset recently and quarreled with her. Lu Caiqing took over the conversation and said.
"Why are you arguing? It's really not worry-free. Aunt Xia sighed and said.
"It's her mother-in-law's family, don't look at Brother Li's cheerful and sensible person, and at the same time he is also a big filial son, his father's words have always been obedient, so he suffered Sister-in-law Li and Duo'er, this is not yesterday Aunt Li started a moth again, saying that our family members want to stuff his family Qingbao into a long-term job, and the salary is 400 Wen per person." Lu Caiqing said angrily.
"What? She thought that our Song family would open a money shop, and it would cost 400 wen when she opened her mouth, and I heard that his younger brother was lazy and lazy, and he couldn't do anything, so why did she conclude that we should hire him. Aunt Xia also said very angrily.
"Who's to say it isn't? The old lady actually said that she didn't want her son to come here to work, so she didn't want the eldest couple to continue working here, which was really unreasonable. This is not Brother Li upset, I don't want to cause me trouble, Sister-in-law Li is reluctant to be here, only here is her safe haven, back to that home, and I have to go back to the days when I was scared before, so I quarrel. Lu Caiqing is also helpless, she has never seen such a partial-biased mother-in-law.
"With such a mother-in-law on the stall, Qingyuan's daughter-in-law is really heartwarming, Cai Qing or we will sell fish anyway, and when the time comes, we will also use people, if he can't do it, we will have an excuse to quit him, now don't make Qingyuan and his family a little embarrassed." Aunt Xia analyzed the situation and persuaded Lu Caiqing.
"Mother! Isn't it just to give him money, and return Brother Li's family to a peaceful life, listening to me being angry here, it's only temporary, just break the fortune and eliminate the disaster, and I don't care about him alone, mother! I listen to you, tomorrow Brother Li and they come, I will tell them about this decision! ”
"Qingyuan, this child is too filial, crying Sister-in-law Li didn't say anything, and he also tired Duo'er, Cai Qing, you said that we should persuade him to split the family." Aunt Xia thought about it and said it.
"Mother! Don't say it in front of Brother Li, he and Sister-in-law Li have quarreled countless times because of the separation, Brother Li thinks that life is very good now, and it won't be like a family when the family is separated, you must not say it, no matter what, it's their Li family's business, and it's not good for us to get involved. Song Ziyu took over the conversation and persuaded.
"Look! When the old woman forces Sister-in-law Li to a dead end, see if I don't care about it, isn't it just a matter of separating the family, and it's a big deal to separate from Brother Li and start a new stove, I don't believe it, a woman with a child can't live here! Lu Caiqing said nonsense angrily.
"I agree! Cai Qing girl is domineering, wait until one day if you are wronged, don't hesitate Brother Lin to support you to start another stove and break up alone. Lin Huaijin stood up excitedly and responded.
