Chapter Eighty-Eight: Preparation
After a long while, after Li Bokang finished reading the book in his hand, he was about to turn his neck to relax, when he saw her arrival. At this time she was reading a book, and as if she had sensed something, she also looked up at him, and the two looked at each other.
After that, she spoke first, and she said, "Have you finished reading it?" I have something I want your help with. ”
Hearing her say that she had something to ask him for help, he nodded and said, "I'm done, what's the matter?" ”
She listened and walked over to his desk, saw that his books were closed, and knew that he had really finished reading them. She was afraid of delaying his business, so she wanted to make sure if he had really finished reading it.
Now that she found out that he had really finished reading it, she said: "I thought about it before, the family still needs some inputs, and it can't just be out and not collected, and it's not a matter if it goes on like this." He paused as he spoke.
Then she continued: "I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and I have an idea I want to discuss with you now to see if it's feasible." If you can, I'll need you to buy something for me. With that, she looked at him, waiting for his answer.
Li Bokang felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this, he didn't want her to worry about these things anymore. He is also an adult now, and he should find a way to support the family and let her rest and enjoy happiness at home.
But until now, she still has to work hard for life and find a way, and for a while he is also mixed with joy and sorrow. The sad thing is that I feel useless, but I am happy that she is so capable and thoughtful.
Thinking of this, he didn't speak for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
She felt a little strange when she saw the atmosphere become like this, but she thought back to what had just happened and it didn't seem to be anything special, so she put it down and didn't think too much about it. Then she asked, "What's the matter, did I say anything that bothered you?" ”
If you don't understand, you have to ask, and she has always carried out this matter very well. Li Bokang heard her question and felt that he was making a big fuss, so he shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'm not embarrassed." Tell me what you think. ”
Then she told him in detail what she wanted to be refined. Li Bokang was very surprised after hearing it, he never thought that there would be such a seasoning.
Usually large households or restaurants are used to improve the chicken soup, if the so-called chicken essence she said is successful, he believes that as long as the operation is good, he will be able to get a lot of benefits. It's just that he also wonders how she could have such an idea, but it doesn't matter.
If the important thing really succeeds, will they be able to keep the recipe in the future? But when he thought about it, he felt that he was thinking too much, and it would be very troublesome to go to what she said about tools.
He said, "Tell me what kind of tool you are talking about." ”
"That's it......" she had thought about it before, so it was relatively complete and quick to say.
After listening to her thoughts, Li Bokang felt very good, but it was still too troublesome to do. He wondered if he could simplify it a little bit more and make it a little better.
He said to her, "Well, I'll see if it can be simpler, but the kind of grinder you said in the medical hall is simple, just go to the blacksmith shop and order one." ”
"And the chicken raising thing you just said can also be done now, you can ask Huang in a while to see if she can hatch chicks. If we can, we will incubate our own eggs at home. He continued.
"Okay, I know. Let's take a look first, if it could be simpler, it would be better. I'll ask Huang first, and I can make arrangements as early as possible. She listened to him and replied.
"Okay." At this time, Li Bokang was burying his head on the desk and looking at the simple drawings they had just drawn.
She was helpless to see his serious appearance, and then went out of the study to find Huang.
When she found someone, Huang was preparing dinner, and she saw that she was busy, so she asked her in the kitchen. She asked, "Aunt Huang, will you hatch chicks?" ”
Huang Shi was a little frightened when he heard her name, and said: "Girl, this aunt can't afford the slave and maid class, and I hope the girl won't call the slave like this." ”
Seeing her reaction like this, she was a little speechless, and she just felt that Huang's Huang's call was unpleasant. Fortunately, she is also much older than them, and she can be regarded as their elder in terms of seniority, so she thought about calling Aunt Huang directly, but she didn't expect her to have such a big reaction.
She explained to her and said, "I just can't get used to it, so I'll call you like this in the future, and I'll call Uncle Laifu the same way." By the way, you haven't answered me yet, will you hatch chicks? ”
When Huang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Back to the girl, the slave doesn't know how to hatch chicks." ”
"Okay, I got it. You cook, I'll go out first. She was a little disappointed to know that she couldn't hatch chicks, but she said anyway.
After she came out, she thought that since she couldn't hatch, she would go directly to the town to buy chicks, and she wouldn't have to spend so much time hatching. After thinking about it, she sat in the living room, thinking about how many chicks to buy, and if there were too many, it would not be easy to get sick.
In the end, I decided to buy fifty, no more but no less, and let Harutsuki take care of the chickens when the time came. Aunt Huang is responsible for the family's food and drink, as well as the hygiene of the house. Uncle Laifu is in charge of the family's land and livestock, and there is still more than an acre of land around the house.
As for Shumo, just wait for Bokang's orders in the future, after all, he wants to follow him, and he will often follow him outside in the future. So she still doesn't have to arrange things for him, and he will find things to do when he is at home, so she doesn't have to worry too much.
The next day she was going to go to the town to buy chicks, and she hadn't come down the mountain for a long time, so it was good to go out for a walk. This time, she is going to take Chunyue with her, and then if she catches the car, she will let Uncle Laifu catch up, and she can just drive the ox cart to go.
It just so happened that after thinking about it last night and one night, Li Bokang also said that he wanted to go to the county seat to have a look. Just let Shumo follow him to drive the family's carriage.
This time, Li Bokang mainly wanted to go to Chen Jun and Zhou Yi Huangsheng's house to inquire, he wanted to have more time to make snacks in families like theirs. There should be more stoves and the like, and he went to see if there was the one they needed.
If you have it, it's simple, just find someone to go back and do it. If he didn't, he could just go to someone and see if he could do it, as they had discussed at home, and if he couldn't, they would discuss it separately.
So on this day, everyone in their family went out except for Aunt Huang, and she originally said that she would also take Aunt Huang to the town, but then she was afraid that there would be no one at home, and the family would not know if someone went to the house to find her. So she put Aunt Huang at home, but she also said that she would take her out to see if she could next time.
said that since Aunt Huang'er's family came to the mountain, Aunt Huang has not gone down the mountain for more than half a year. Even Chunyue didn't go down twice, only Shumo followed Li Bokang to the county several times, and Uncle Laifu only went down the mountain a few times when he first came.
So she thought they should take them down the mountain a few more times, so that they wouldn't be too isolated.
