"Brother, give me five more strings of rock sugar gourds!"

As he spoke, Dahan took out five copper plates from his arms and stuffed them into Li Huaisheng's hands.

"Xu Dong, weren't you too expensive just now! Why do you want to buy five strings so much in one breath at this time! That's worth a pound of good pork belly! ”

A passer-by who was familiar with the big man stopped and asked puzzled.

"What is expensive, where is it expensive! Compared to the medicine in the pharmacy, I don't think it's expensive at all! ”

Xu Dong took the five rock sugar gourds, showed a little smile, and carefully took the rock sugar gourd in his hand, as if he was holding a treasure.

"That's yours, no, how do you compare food with the medicine in the pharmacy! Can this be compared! ”

Said the passer-by before.

"How can't it be compared! Do you remember my little son? ”

Xu Dong asked rhetorically.

"You mean Junko? Remember, remember, of course, remember, that child is not losing his appetite and can't eat, how about it? Are you feeling better now? ”

Passers-by nodded their heads repeatedly.

"Don't mention it, I took Shunzi to visit all the medical centers in the town, even the medical centers in the county seat, spent a lot of silver, and took a lot of medicine, but it was not good at all!"

"When I came out of the pharmacy just now, I met this brother who sold rock sugar gourds, and I wanted to try it, so I bought him a bunch! And guess what! After Junko's child finished eating, he yelled that he was hungry! Ate a big bowl of ravioli. ”

Xu Dong said excitedly.

"What! This thing has this effect too! ”

Passers-by's eyes widened, if he wasn't familiar with Xu Dong, he would have thought that this was a liar, and it was the vendor who sold rock sugar gourds to find him.

"Who said no, my family Junko can finally eat well! Don't talk about it, I'm going to tell Junko his mother and his grandparents about this good news! ”

After speaking, the man named Xu Dong hurried in the direction of coming.

"Give me a bunch!"

"I'll have a bunch too!"

"And me, I want it too!"

……

Hear the words of the man.

Originally, it was too expensive.

Immediately rushed up.

It's still a little tail in summer, and the weather is hot, which causes people's appetite to be not very good, and they can't eat.

I thought I'd give it a try and see how it works, if it's really as good as the man just said.

More than 60 strings of rock sugar gourds were all sold out in a blink of an eye.

There were many people who rushed to hear the news and heard that the rock sugar gourd had been sold out.

I can only leave with regret.

Before leaving, I specially asked Li Huaisheng if he would come tomorrow and when he would come.

Touching the heavy copper plate in his arms.

Li Huaisheng couldn't help but smile.

Although it is very different from seven taels of silver.

But at least it's a good start.

Moreover, it was limited by the cost before.

So much can be done.

Now I have the capital.

He could have done so much more.

With the cooperation of two women, it is not a problem to make three or two thousand strings a day.

This time, Li Huaisheng went to the grocery store and bought ten catties of sugar directly, and spent ten copper plates to buy twenty catties of black noodles.

Of the seventy-six copper plates, sixty were used up at once.

It's rare to have big business.

The shopkeeper of the grocery store happily gave a pound of white sesame seeds.

When passing by the pork shop.

Two thigh bones were bought with five copper plates.

Although there is less flesh and bones.

But you can boil soup and drink it.

Nutrition is not a lot at all.

On the way back, Li Huaisheng was in a hurry.

I want to go back and pick some hawthorn while it's still early.

Prepare for tomorrow's sale.

"Like, stew this, I'll go out again."

Back home.

I didn't bother to explain to my daughter-in-law and sister.

Li Huaisheng picked up the bamboo basket and rushed to the hawthorn forest.

This......

Xie Wanyu looked at the sugar, black noodles, sesame seeds and two pork leg bones that were stuffed into her husband's arms.

looked at the figure of her husband leaving, and was stunned.

Shouldn't these things be bought with the money from selling rock sugar gourds?

"Sister-in-law, where's my brother? Didn't you hear him come back just now? Why is there no one again? Hey, what's all this in your arms? ”

Li Xiaojun, who was busy cleaning up the house, heard movement outside and walked out.

As a result, I didn't see my brother.

I only saw my sister-in-law holding a large pile of things in her arms

"These seem to have been bought back by my husband with the money from selling rock sugar gourds."

Xie Wanyu said with some uncertainty.

"What! It turns out that the rock sugar gourd is so valuable! If I had known, I wouldn't have eaten that string of rock sugar gourds. ”

Li Xiaojun looked annoyed.

The sugar in my sister-in-law's arms alone is worth dozens of copper plates.

The elder brother only managed to get out dozens of strings of rock sugar gourds.

In other words, a string of rock sugar gourds is almost a copper plate.

A copper plate can buy two catties of black noodles, and two catties of black noodles are enough for a family to eat for two days.

"That's what your brother gave you to eat, which means that your brother feels sorry for you!"

Xie Wanyu smiled at Li Xiaojun beside him and shook his head.

"Sister-in-law, do you think my brother really fell into his head? How is it like a different person? It doesn't look like my brother at all. ”

Li Xiaojun frowned, and a little confusion flashed on his little face.

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about, who else can he be if he is not your brother? Hurry up and help me put all these things together. ”

Xie Wan glanced at the sister-in-law beside her.

immediately divided some of the things in his arms into Li Xiaojun's hands.

After the things are put away.

Wash the pork bones and prepare the soup.

On the other side.

Li Huaisheng came to the hawthorn forest with a bamboo basket on his back and quickly picked a basket.

It was getting dark, and then I returned home.

Before I could enter the courtyard, I smelled an enticing smell of meat wafting through the air.

"My husband is back."

Xie Wanyu, who was busy in front of the stove, heard the movement and hurriedly greeted him.

Hold the bamboo basket with both hands and help take it down.

"Hmm."

Li Huaisheng smiled back.

"Husband is tired today, right? Wash your hands and eat. ”

Xie Wanyu's eyes flashed with distress.

The injuries on the husband's body have not fully healed.

I started to be busy, and I didn't rest all day.

"It's nothing, let's eat together."

Li Huaisheng smiled, as long as he could make money, he didn't feel so tired.

"By the way, if I come back late in the future, you two will eat first, don't wait for me."

Listening to the sound of the two women's stomachs gurgling from time to time.

Said to the two.

"The concubine has written it down."

Xie Wanyu and Li Xiaojun, who were on the side, turned red to the base of their necks.

I didn't expect this kind of embarrassment, I was hit squarely, and I lowered my head embarrassedly.

But think about it.

The husband (elder brother) is not an outsider.

The two girls looked up again.

Li Huaisheng picked up the milky bone broth in the bowl.

I poured a big bowl in one go.

Then he hugged the bones and ate the pancakes.

I poured three bowls in a row and ate seven or eight palm-sized pancakes.

That's what fills the stomach.

The two girls also ate a lot.

Each drank two bowls of soup.

Three or four pancakes.

Eat and drink to your heart's content.

The three of them sat for a while.

When I almost digested it, I didn't hold it that long.

Then I went back to the house and prepared to rest.

"Husband, the concubine has prepared the bath water, and the husband will take a bath first to get rid of fatigue."
