Chapter Twenty-Six: Door-to-door counseling
Liu.
The three men who came to Lao Liu's house to help build the house took another job to cut trees for the carpenter.
The three men were busy cutting down trees.
Liu Tietou slashed with a knife, and the tree was cut for a long time before it broke, and the axe was not sharp enough.
"Do you think this old Liu family really sent it? Otherwise, I wouldn't have found a carpenter to order so many furniture, and it would have been a lot of money to build a house and buy so many things. ”
"What's the matter with no money?"
"But we really dragged their family's blessings, otherwise we wouldn't have to work, and we would have to go to the town to squat to see if there are any businessmen to work for."
"Now it's good to be able to get a job chopping firewood in the mountains, and I have ten cents a day."
Liu Jiaji was small, tied his trouser legs tightly, rolled up his upper body clothes, and worked hard to cut down trees.
It took all the strength to bring down an aged tree.
Panting loudly, he said, "It's right to have work to do, but it's also really tiring!" ”
"The old Liu family has made a fortune, and I don't know when we will be as rich as them."
"If it weren't for the summer harvest at home, everyone in my family would be starving."
Liu Dayang listened to the words of the two brothers, thought about it in his head, and thought seriously: "You said that this old Liu family must have its own way, but I don't know if I can take us, and I don't ask for anything, I just think that the old Liu family eats meat, and we can get some broth." ”
"It's better than scavenging in the field all day."
Liu Jiaji whispered his guess:
"You say the way of this old Liu family......... Could it be the whole food in the kitchen, I don't know what's going on, the cooking skills are so good, it can't be the eldest mother, right? The taste of the dishes every time I eat is strong and fragrant, maybe there is any cooking skills hidden, but now I don't hide it! ”
"Maybe I made my fortune by making a fortune in the kitchen."
Then he hung them and slowly continued:
"After all, I often see the chimney of Lao Liu's house lit up, and he is pouring food all day long."
"But it's very secretive, and I haven't seen it eat in the yard."
"I heard that someone in our village went to the town to inquire about what Lao Liu's family was doing."
"I don't know if I can find out?"
Don't look at the small people of the Liu family, only one meter and six meters tall, but the mind is delicate, in the days when the old Liu family was working, I inadvertently observed a lot, especially the details of the old Liu family's cooking.
"Tangerine! You're right! Presentable! Liu Dayang praised.
"It's got to be you kid!"
"Tangerine! You're got a lot more brains than the two of us! ”
Liu Tietou also boasted, as his name suggests, he is quite big, although he doesn't eat well, but he grows strong.
He knows that his brain is not very clever, most of the time he follows the little Liu Jiaji, anyway, his brother has a good relationship, he grew up since he was a child, and the brother Tangerine has never cheated him.
"I said two big brothers, I'm so old, can you not call me by my nickname?"
Liu Jiaji was annoyed and angry, when his father and mother chose the name, he didn't think about it so much, and felt that oranges were expensive, so he gave him such a nickname for a male baby.
As I grew up, there were still people shouting, and I felt more and more ashamed.
"Hahahahaha......"
The two brothers, Tietou and Dayang, laughed out loud, laughing so hard that they stopped teasing him with his complaining eyes, for fear of provoking their dog-headed military advisor.
"Okay, okay, don't scream, don't scream."
"Then after we finish our work today, we will be cheeky to probe Liu Daniu's tone and see if we want the three of us to work."
"Done! The three of us are all poor to the end anyway, what else is there to be afraid of, don't want this face, let's come to the door to ask for advice. ”
"Anyway, if we two have a job, we will do it, and if we don't work, forget it."
…………
Meng Ran didn't know that the people in the village had found out that their family was doing business, and some people had even followed them to the town.
Specifically to find out how their family made a fortune.
Anyway, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were done, so they hurried back.
"Mother! It's back! Tired not? ”
The fourth daughter-in-law, Wu Taohua, hurriedly brought a basin of water to wash her mother-in-law's face.
Pour another bowl of boiling water.
Meng Ran has walked for a long time, and he has long been thirsty, and every time he goes home, he drinks water first, because there is no kettle at home.
When I got home, I sat down for a while, and after a while, I went to my room to see if there was a lot of dried mushroom stock.
I found that there was only half a bag, scattered and scattered, and I had eaten some before.
She immediately said to several daughters-in-law: "The dried mushrooms at home are only half a small bag, which is not enough to make mushroom sauce." ”
"The four of you will go to the village to collect dried mushrooms, and the dried goods that are usually sold to the merchant are three cents a catty, and we will also collect them at this price."
"Just collect 50 pounds for the time being!"
Meng Ran directly took out more than a penny and distributed it to several daughters-in-law.
The four daughters-in-law nodded, anyway, every family had some dried mushrooms.
Almost all the villages are close to the mountains, and every household often dumps dry goods on the mountains in previous years, so the dry goods cannot be sold at a price and are not worth anything, so the purchase is relatively simple.
"Mother, let's find someone in the village to collect this dried mushroom directly, and pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."
"No problem, now you can go out and ask."
"The sooner we get the dry goods back, we'll make a few more jars of mushroom sauce as soon as possible."
After Meng Ran finished instructing her daughters-in-law to do the work, she went to the house that burned the jars in the next village and bought four medium-sized jars.
I'm going to boil six jars of mushroom sauce today.
She believed that there would be a lot of orders from the breakfast shops in town.
As long as the mushroom sauce is made, it should not be sold, even if it can't be sold for a while, the sauce is boiled, as long as it is sealed and stored properly, it will not be a problem to put it for three days.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Liu Li, and several other siblings came back with a sack of dried mushrooms.
"Mother, we have already taken back all the dried mushrooms, a full 50 catties."
Meng Ran nodded, "I boiled a pot of boiling water, mixed it with warm water, and put the dried mushrooms in it to soak." ”
"Soak it in warm water early, and then we'll start boiling the mushroom sauce."
"Today's sauce sells very well, and it is still quite popular in the town, and many people buy it."
"Meets the appetite of the townsfolk in town."
"So I'm going to make a few more jars of sauce and sell them in town."
"This can be regarded as a temporary livelihood for our old Liu family, relying on the craft of boiling sauce to earn some silver."
"So give me a little diligence, work at home and outside the house, finish it early, don't delay, and boil the sauce when you're done."
Meng Ran glanced at his daughter-in-law.
Recently, they have all settled down a lot, and they haven't heard any noise at night, especially the second and third daughters-in-law are not so lazy.
Several daughters-in-law panicked for a moment, and then promised: "Mother, don't you worry, we are diligent every day!" ”
"As long as there is a living that can make money, we promise not to shirk!"
"yes, that's a good job!"
"Mother, let's make sauce together! When we learn, you can rest! ”
