The second sister Liu Huahua followed to the town, Liu Guiyuan divided the work of the family, the eldest sister cooked and washed clothes at home, fed pigs and chickens, and occasionally brought lotus seeds, she took Gu and others to wash loquat in her house to make ice powder

, made a pot and sent it to the cellar cold town, and then there are a few buckets of ice powder sold every day to some people in the village with active heads.

Not to mention, such a small business, at first most people in the village did not dare to do it, and when they saw that Tian Rubai's boys could sell a bucket in two or three days and earn a net of forty or fifty yuan, their eyes were green, and they all carried grain to Liu's house to change.

In this way, Liu Guiyuan has to work overtime to make ice powder, otherwise it will not be enough to sell, she wants to spend another ten days, and it is estimated that the family will still collect some wild loquat preparation, and the two merchants in the province will quietly collect all the wild loquats. This situation is not impossible, she has heard of this kind of malicious competition before, the other party took away the raw materials of a certain in-demand commodity, and then found the manufacturer to buy at a high price, the manufacturer had to buy with tears because of the order, and finally was busy for a year not only did not make money, but also lost a lot.

I have to say that Liu Guiyuan overestimated the two merchants, and within two days, the two of them quietly came to her, begging her to increase the price of ice powder, and said that only a few of them knew how to make ice powder anyway, and even if the price increased, someone would buy it.

"No, my ice powder has been sold for so long, and the sudden price increase is definitely unwilling, and the price is already very high, how do you want to rise? I'm selling this small book, so I can't be like you. ”

Liu Guiyuan refused solemnly, and the two merchants estimated that they had been going south and north for a long time, boasting that they had seen the world, and continued to lobby her: "You don't understand, such a serving of ice powder, let's pour milk, honey and sour plum soup, add some smoothies and fruit cheese, and put it in the shop to sell, and then take the elegant name of ice fruit cheese, let alone seven or eight dollars a bowl." ”

Liu Guiyuan smashed his mouth, ignored them, and only said: "You can make a fortune yourself with such a good business, don't bring me, if you want to raise the price, you will also increase it yourself, anyway, my ice powder will not rise." ”

The two merchants couldn't make sense of her. I can only shake my head and leave, since then, Liu Guiyuan has rarely seen those two merchants, and he has not heard about the price increase of ice powder sold by anyone, it is estimated that consumers' minds are sober and have not fallen into their marketing trap.

However, her ice powder business is not so smooth every day, about seven or eight days later, she planned to collect wild loquat in the village again, but it hit a thunderstorm, for five or six days, thunder and lightning rain every day, the weather became cooler, and her family's ice powder was not as hot as before. In this regard, Liu Guiyuan is not in a hurry, he can sell as much as he can, if he can't sell it, he will do less, and if he sells the rest, he will eat it himself.

Anyway, this is not the case with business, and it can't always be smooth sailing.

"There is still some ice powder at home, mixed with sand sugar water, it's a pity that I can't finish eating, why don't you send a little to the second uncle's house for them to taste? Last time, I met my second aunt in the back, and she also said that we didn't even sell ice powder for her to taste. ”

Liu Hongzao held a pot of adjusted ice powder and asked the sisters sitting on the straw mat, Liu Huahua was biting a wooden comb in his mouth, and was braiding Liu Guiyuan's hair, and his head shook like a rattle, and he said vaguely that she couldn't go, she had this time to spare, so she didn't go to be scolded in front of the second aunt and grandmother.

"I'll go, eldest sister, don't go, you are honest, you don't know what they say."

Liu Guiyuan sat up from the mat with difficulty, pulled back his ravaged fried hair with difficulty, and stood up to go out. finally had the opportunity to escape the "clutches" of her second sister, and she was willing to let her see anyone at this time.

"Don't forget to send it to the third uncle's house, if you want to send it to both families, it has to be the same."

Liu Hongjujube's advice sounded behind him, and Liu Guiyuan responded loudly that he knew, and trotted out of the door with a wooden basin.

She went to the third uncle's house first, the third uncle was not at home, the third aunt took her two children to stew meat at home, and when she got close to the kitchen, she smelled a strong aroma of meat, which was the fragrance of stewed pork ribs. Liu Guiyuan moved her little nose and began to crave meat in her mouth, but she still remembered what she was doing, and shouted into the house with her throat: "Third aunt, brother bolt, sister sweet persimmon, they are all at home, I'll send you some ice powder to taste." ”

As soon as the third aunt saw Liu Guiyuan, she remembered that the Wang family complained about her, so she naturally didn't have a good face for her, glanced at her, snorted from her nose, and didn't plan to pay attention to her, but Liu Shuzi didn't think so, he had already wanted to taste the taste of ice powder, a bowl was only a penny, and he could also exchange it for wheat, but his mother somehow didn't want to buy it for him to eat.

"Longan is here, such a coincidence, I have my birthday today, and you are here to deliver ice powder, I am really blessed."

Liu Guiyuan's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to serve the wooden basin in Liu Guiyuan's hand, and then poured it all into a large bowl, Liu Guiyuan wanted to say that half of these ice powders were going to be sent to the second uncle's house, don't pour them all, but looking at the simple Liu Shuzi, she could only pretend that nothing happened, just give Liu Zhuan his birthday.

"What's that, Brother Bolt, you have a birthday, I wish you a happy birthday, happy every day, then I still have something to do, I'll go back first."

Liu Guiyuan went home with a wooden basin, ignoring Liu Hongjuo's inquiry and Liu Huahua's approaching, she quickly made a piece of ice powder and went out again, she really didn't want her second sister to braid her hair, her hair was sparse and yellow, typical malnutrition, and she had to take care of it.

After walking for about ten minutes, Liu Guiyuan stepped on the path and walked to the wooden door of the second uncle's house connected to the adobe wall, the wooden door was very old and dirty, and there was still red paper for last year's New Year, but it had faded. The door is ajar, and there are a total of three earthen houses built together in the courtyard of the door, if you guess correctly, Liu Yao's family should live in the main house in the middle, the main house is the largest but also the oldest,

In other words, the house of the second uncle's family looks old, but it is the largest of the three brothers, because it is passed down from Liu Guiyuan's grandfather Liu Zhifu, according to the rules of the family, whoever the old man lives with, the old house belongs to whom, Liu Yao chooses to live with the obedient and honest second uncle, and the house naturally belongs to him. As for why she didn't talk to her father Liu Chongshan, the answer is obvious, you don't have a son or a descendant, I have a fart with you!

"Is the second uncle at home? Grandma, third aunt, I'm Guiyuan, and I'm bringing ice powder to your house. ”

"Is no one home? That's just right, and I saved the ice powder, hey, I'm going home. ”

I don't know if the people in the house heard it, Liu Guiyuan said it twice in a row, and no one came out to talk, she snorted and turned around and left, and then with a deliberate cough, Liu Yao walked out of the main house and said, "Where are you going, I slept in the house, I didn't hear it." Why did you think to send something? I thought you didn't have your milk in your heart, and you had long forgotten about your second uncle's family, one by one, I took a good look, they were all little girls who ate death. ”

Liu Yao's is Liu Yao's, no matter how good they are to her, they will fall into her number, Liu Guiyuan pouted, and said dissatisfiedly, "Grandma, don't scold us all the time, we are all your own granddaughters, do you have a glow on your face when you scold us like this?" I heard that Aunt Ginkgo also gave birth to two daughters, do you also say that they are dead? ”

Eating a dead heart, this is a kind of old man scolding a child, which probably means that the child is useless, wasteful, and has no conscience.

When Liu Yao heard that Liu Guiyuan was ruining her daughter and her two granddaughters, her old face immediately turned blue with anger, looked down and looked around, and then found a branch from the wall and was about to whip her, and scolded in her mouth: "You plagued dead girl, who taught you to speak like this and arrange your aunt?" I see that you owe a lot, and if you ask you to give me the money you earn, you don't give it, I said that you still dare to talk back, unfilial things, what are you doing with it? ”

Liu Guiyuan knew that he had stabbed the hornet's nest, shrugged his shoulders and was about to slip away with oil on the soles of his feet, one was defenseless, and hit the belly of the second aunt Li who came back from herding cattle, Li's shoulders were big and his waist was round, and the meat in his stomach had not disappeared after giving birth to three children, and Liu Guiyuan also hit his nose and hurt, and it was estimated that he was going to bleed, hey, unlucky!

"Oops, don't you know how to read the road, dead girl!" Li's hand was so strong, he grabbed Liu Guiyuan, who was about to run, and was about to start scolding, when he suddenly remembered something important, he quickly let go of his hand, and changed his tone: "It's Guiyuan who is here, does it hurt?" It's all because the second aunt didn't stand up, just so that you bumped into it, but it matters, do you want to rub it? ”

The second aunt Li's sudden gentleness, Liu Guiyuan will really be unable to bear it for a while, she pinched her nose, felt that she was going to bleed, and quickly shook her head and said: "It's okay, blame myself for not paying attention, I put all the ice powder in your pot, I still have something, let's go." ”

Liu Guiyuan ran out of the Liu family's courtyard like a rabbit, and the second aunt Li was still shouting affectionately behind her: "Let's go, go slowly, come to my house to sit and sit when you are free......"

After Liu Guiyuan left, the second aunt Li secretly rolled her eyes at her mother-in-law, and complained dissatisfiedly: "Mother, look at you, Guiyuan finally came to visit, why are you driving her away?" I still want to beg her to teach my iron cow to make ice powder and sell it for money, and you still whip her with a branch, how can I still talk like this? ”

These days, the second aunt Li saw that Liu Guiyuan and a few little girls made a lot of money selling ice powder, and she didn't know how envious she was, and she began to be jealous when she was envious.

A few days ago, she saw her eldest brother's daughter red dates on the ground, which made her squeeze for a while, and then she didn't know how comfortable she was, but yesterday she met Gu Yumei, the two of them stood and gossiped for a while, and Gu Yumei's words woke her up at once.

Gu Yumei: I said that why are you so dead, if you don't hope that other people's ice powder can't be sold, what can you do if her ice powder can't be sold?

Li Qiufang: I can't do well, so I can't get used to it.

Gu Yumei: Let me ask you, who is closer to hers in my family?

Li Qiufang: Then my family must be closer to his family, a mother's brother.

Gu Yumei: That's right, why don't you ask your two aunts to help you work, instead of asking my aunt to work for her family, and give her so much salary a day?

Li Qiufang: What, I paid you back, how much did you give?

Gu Yumei: You don't care how much you give me, let me tell you, the reason why the longan girl asked me for help is to remember that I lent her milk well, if you are good to others, don't people remember you if they have good things?

Li Qiufang: Yes, why didn't I think of such a simple thing, her ice powder can't be sold, I can't fall into the bottom of it, if I am good to a few girls in Longan, they can still take me to make ice powder to make money......
