245: The selfishness of the little uncle
By the time Li Genshun, Li Changfeng and Li Changliang came back, it was already evening, and when the three of them saw Li Changyu at home, it was also an accident why did he come back?
Li Changyu explained: "My sister-in-law and Sister Yu have figured out another kind of food, which is made of red lotus powder, and when I came home, Mr. Han also went to Beijing with new food, and when Mr. Han came back from Beijing, it is estimated that he will be able to make a large number of new food after leaving the county."
"That's a good thing!" When the father and son heard this, they were as happy as Dong Biyu, and if there was new food to eat, the business of the workshop would be good again.
"What can you do to eat again?" Li Genshun asked.
"It's called cold powder, I brought a piece back, and my mother took it to the stove room, and I can eat it at noon."
"What jelly? I've never heard of it." Li Genshun replaced the eldest son Li Changfeng, and the younger son Li Changliang replied.
"It's made of red lettuce powder, you'll know when you see it in a while, this thing costs red lettuce powder." Li Changyu's sentence of Fei red lotus powder made the Li family father and son start to worry that there was not enough red lotus powder at home.
Fortunately, Li Changyu's next words solved the problem of not enough red lotus powder for them, "So I came back to discuss with you, you need to use red lotus powder to make cold powder, so there will be more and more red lotus powder to be used, and the red lotus left in our family is definitely not enough."
"What then?" Li Genshun asked habitually.
"What else can I do, find someone everywhere to buy more red lotus and come back."
"Also, in the future, more and more red lettus will be used, and there will be more red let's dregs, which means that we have to raise a few more pigs, and by the way, a few more cows." Li Changyu paused and continued.
Li Genshun thought he hadn't heard clearly: "Raising cattle?"
"yes, a few cows." Li Changyu affirmed.
"What do you do with cows? Cows are very expensive, and we haven't raised cows, so what can we do if we can't raise them?" As soon as Li Genshun heard that he could raise cattle, he immediately reflexively disagreed.
"What Dad said, according to what you said, we didn't know what red lotus powder was before, but now we also grind it out every day to make money!" Li Changyu said disagreeing with his father's words.
"If you want to raise it, then what do you want this cow to do?" Li Genshun has been dealing with the fields all the year round, and when it comes to doing business, he is afraid of losing money, and when he heard that his son insisted on buying cattle and coming back to raise them, he climbed up to the forehead with a trace of displeasure.
"It's not like a pig." Li Changyu said it easily.
"You said it easily, just feeding the dozen or so pigs at home every day is enough to be busy, if you feed more pigs and add a few cows, just a few people in our family, why are you busy?"
"It's really too busy, let's find a few people to help Zhang Luo go to the fields, and the people who come also pay for work, we must not let people help in vain." Li Changyu proposed.
"What are you doing? One of us is not a rich man, and the other is not an official master's family, we are all mud legs, and we invite people to farm the land, I see that you have not lived a good life for a few days, and you have learned to play music."
Speaking of finding someone to help, Li Genshun disapproved of it as much as the two elders of the Mo family, feeling that he was all digging in the soil, so why was he embarrassed to buy someone back and become the old lady of a rich family.
"Didn't Uncle Mo's family add someone to help? I ...... too."
Before Li Changyu finished speaking, his father Li Genshun snatched the words, "Can we compare with your Uncle Mo's family?" How many people are in our family? There are a lot of people in your Uncle Mo's family? The house and the house all rely on your Uncle Mo and Aunt Song, can they be busy without adding people?"
"Besides, it's not what they mean by adding people to Uncle Mo's family, it's the people who the Han family helped to add people."
Li Changyu was beaten down by his father, "Dad, you can't listen to me!" I didn't think about adding people, I knew what my identity was, and I didn't want to be the shopkeeper after adding people to my family."
Then he explained, "I just want to ask someone to help when I'm busy, and when I'm not busy, we'll take care of it ourselves."
"Wan Wan is capable, he thinks about us for all good things, and we don't do a good job in the workshop, but raising pigs and cattle can make money, why don't we try? We won't, let's buy less first, just buy two heads and come back to try, what's not enough to learn more."
"Dad, the second brother is right, we won't be okay now, buy two and come back to try, there is not much difference between raising pigs and raising cows, and it will be enough to raise them for a while, besides, Wanyun and Qingyuan have not even gone to the ground, and now they dare to plant medicinal materials, let's raise two cows, and there is nothing to dare to, after raising cattle, plow the land, or put a car, and it is convenient to buy something in the last set." Li Changfeng also agreed with Li Changyu's idea.
"You said it simply, you bought it back, where can you find so much food to feed?"
"This cow is different from a pig, the cow has to be taken out to be released, and the family is too busy to do anything, so there is still time to take the cow out and put it?"
Although it doesn't cost much to raise the two heads first, he is worried that he will not be able to keep busy.
At this time, Li Changliang said, "Dad, just listen to the second brother, let's buy two heads first, and I'll raise them." After saying that, he went on and continued: "Yu'er Niang is about to give birth, and there are no people in the house, I am at home every day, and I come to take care of the cows."
"You're not going to the workshop next month? Mr. Han said, "Your brothers will take turns to go for a month to learn some words, so that you won't know anything if you are deceived in the future." As soon as Li Genshun heard the meaning of his youngest son's words, he wanted to keep guarding her daughter-in-law at home, and his already bad face turned even darker at this time.
"It's not that I won't go, it's not too late to go in a few months, besides, there is the eldest brother and the second brother here, and Lin Song can also read, I just don't go to learn to read and write, it doesn't matter."
Reading may be the wish of children, but they are all fathers, so they no longer think about reading, and they feel that it doesn't matter if they read or not now.
Li Genshun saw that his three sons were willing to buy cattle and come back to raise them, so he didn't stop them, just buy them, anyway, this family will be theirs in the future, and said, "The family is so big, where will I put the cattle when I buy them again?"
"It's not too busy now, let's build a cowshed first." Li Changyu saw that his father did not object, so he immediately followed and said.
The father and son discussed the matter of buying cattle, but when they went back to the room to rest at night, Li Changliang's wife Qiu Yue was unhappy, "Do you say you are wood? The eldest brother and the second brother both know to go to the workshop to learn business from Mr. Han, so what do you want to stay at home and do at home? Every day you either revolve around the pigs, or around the mill at home, you stay at home and turn around, turn around, can you transfer the money?"
Li Changliang replied, "Aren't you about to give birth? I'll stay at home and take care of you!"
Qiu Yue was not only not happy to hear his words, but also said: "There is a mother at home, and a sister-in-law, and a second sister-in-law, so I need you to take care of me, you go and do business with Mr. Han, and they have to move around more with their in-laws."
"The eldest brother and the second brother often go to their in-laws' aunts and their houses, Wan Wan is closer to the eldest brother and the second brother, and Lin Song stays with Wan Wan every day, if you don't move around more, you won't be able to say anything about the things in the workshop in the future, and no one will recognize you as the owner." Qiu Yue complained.
Qiu Yue said bitterly, but Li Changliang didn't listen to her words in his heart, but said with a smile: "Lin Song follows Wan Wan to study, he must stay together every day, and it is also appropriate for their two brothers and sisters to have a better relationship, Wan Wan does not have a brother or sister, and Lin Song is more together, and the relationship is closer, and when Wan Wan is older, there is a brother to help him."
didn't say that Mo Ziyun was closer to the eldest brother and second brother, he didn't have time to go to their house, the eldest brother and the second brother often went, and it was normal to be close to the eldest brother and the second brother. This is not a big deal, a person of his own age, it is impossible to go to someone's house for a baby's like.
"You feed the pigs at home every day, what can you feed?" Qiu Yue saw that he didn't listen to what he said at all, and his face darkened suddenly.
"The pigs will be slaughtered in a month or two, and you won't see the money! When you raise the cows, you will be able to earn even more in the future." The honest man Li Changliang didn't see that his wife's face was wrong, but he happily said that the pigs he raised were going to see the money after they were slaughtered.
"What's the money? The money in the workshop is in the hands of the mother, and the mother gives us a little bit so that we can have a little, unlike the eldest brother and the second brother who take turns to do things in the workshop, not to mention the oil and water, and the mother will give some when they leave."
Speaking of which, Qiu Yue wanted Li Changliang to go to the workshop to learn to do business, otherwise in the future
The family's business is managed by the big house and the second room, and in the future, they will eat meat in the two rooms, and they can only drink some soup in the third room.
"When the second brother comes back, you will go to the workshop, I have a mother and they take care of me at home, and you can go to the workshop to learn to do business." After speaking, he said with some pity: "It's a pity that Qinqin is a girl, otherwise you will also take it to the workshop when you go next month, so that Wanyun can teach reading." Li Qin, Qin is their daughter.
Li Changliang was unhappy, "What's wrong with the girl? Isn't Wanyun a girl? A lot of boys can't beat her!"
"Also, we didn't split up, the family's money should have been in the hands of my mother, how much to give to the eldest brother and second brother, how much we have. When you go to the workshop, you must bring more silver with you, and the next time you change me, my mother will also give it, so don't be careful, my mother is fair to our brothers."
Qiu Yue saw that he was unhappy, and she didn't say much about money, she also knew that her mother-in-law was really a bowl of water for the three of them, and although her mother-in-law was usually unforgiving, she was also very spicy, but she had never tried to torture her daughter-in-law, as long as she didn't make her unhappy, life was better, "I'm not careful, I just think that the eldest brother and the second brother are going to learn to do business, you still have to stay at home to raise pigs and cattle, although raising pigs and cattle can also make some money, but compared with the workshop, what is this money?" And it's not our family's money."
"Tell me, you don't want to earn more money for your son, why should we save more money for our son in the future?" As Qiu Yue spoke, he pulled Li Changliang's hand over and put it on his erect stomach.
"Go, I'm sure I'm going to learn business from Mr. Han, and I'll go when you give birth to your son, during this time, I'll be at home first, and the family will raise cattle, I'll raise the cattle first."
"I'm going to sleep! Don't be tired of my son!" After Li Changliang finished speaking, he helped Qiu Yue to lie down, "Don't worry, I will definitely earn more money and raise you, my son, and our daughter well."
After Qiu Yue heard this, she didn't say anything more to her, thinking that the second brother would have more than ten days to come back, and she slowly told him that she definitely couldn't let him stay at home.
"Okay, you sleep too."
When Li Changyu left, it was already after noon, and he got up early in the morning and was busy feeding pigs and ducks.
Li Changfeng sent the second brother away with a smile, "Don't worry, I am at home, I know what to do, you can learn to do things with Mr. Han, and then recognize a few more words with Lin Song and Yunyun."
As soon as he heard that he could read and write, Li Changyu, who was talking eloquently just now, instantly lost interest, "I also think what the third child said is right, just one of our family can read and write."
Although Li Changfeng also thinks so, but if he is the eldest brother who wants to follow the two of them like this again, he is really sorry for the thoughts of Yun Yun and Mr. Han, "You go quickly, go and read well, you can't shout and read every day, but you don't want to learn, you have to take the lead for Eucalyptus."
Li Changyu had nothing else to worry about under the urging of his eldest brother, and said, "I'm leaving." Then he turned around and walked towards the road outside the courtyard.
Han Shuxian came with Chen and Rong's diners.
"Brother Han, but what good dishes have come out?" Murong Tingxu had been waiting for Han Shuxian to come early, and greeted him warmly when he saw him at the door.
"You've guessed it!" Murong Tingxu didn't expect that there was really fresh food, and he immediately looked interested, "What good things have come up with again?"
"It's not good, but it's okay to eat something new."
There was luncheon meat, roast chicken and roast duck, and roast rabbit in front, Murong Qingyuan couldn't talk about the good things he said to him, and automatically ignored this sentence, and directly thought that he was being modest, "Don't be modest."
"Come into the house, let's go inside and talk slowly." As he spoke, he turned sideways and greeted Han Shuxian into the house.
After entering the room, Murong Tingxu couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Han, now you can tell me what a good thing it is!"
Han Shuxian smiled, "Brother Murong's temperament is getting more and more anxious!"
Murong Tingxu didn't care that he laughed at his anxiety, "I don't believe that Brother Han is not in a hurry!"
Myself
It's in the food business, but so is he, otherwise they wouldn't be so close.
Han Shuxian smiled and said nothing.
"Yes. Brother Han is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry for his brother."
Only then did Han Shuxian beckon Chen Herong to step forward. Chen Herong uncovered the basket on his arm, and it contained a bowl of crystal clear cold powder.
"What is this?" Murong Tingxu asked after seeing the cold powder in the bowl.
"This is called jelly, and we'll talk about the rest after you've tasted it first."
"Okay, it's just such a big piece, how do you eat it?" Murong Tingxu asked a second question.
"Don't worry, let someone take her to the kitchen, and when she's ready, I'll bring it to you to taste."
Murong Tingxu heard this, and immediately asked Chen Herong to take him to the back kitchen.
After waiting for Chen Herong to go down, Han Shuxian asked again, "What's new in Beijing recently?"
Murong Ting replied: "It's true, the youngest son of the Huang family caused trouble again, robbed the girl in the brothel and beat the person to death."
"What's new here? The Land of Fireworks has never been short of fights, and being killed only shows that he is unlucky." Han Shuxian said.
"This time it's different, it was the nephew of Fang Jing, the young secretary of Dali Temple, who was killed."
"To say that Fang Jing's nephew is really unlucky, he is usually a nerd, and this time he was somehow taken to the land of fireworks, and after drinking a few glasses of wine with someone, he was listening to a girl playing the piano, and then I heard the old bustard say that Huang Gongzi is here, and I want to invite the girl who plays the piano to serve Huang Gongzi."
"Fang Jing's nephew and the students who went with him didn't do it, one side was unwilling to let them, and the other side insisted on finding this person to play the piano for them, so they had a dispute.
During the dispute, Fang Jing's nephew was beaten and lost his breath."
After hearing this, Han Shuxian felt sorry for Fang Jing's nephew, "His nephew is really wronged."
"It's not, people listen to a good song, who knows that the youngest son of the Huang family is so unreasonable, and he beat people to death."
"But he won't please him now!"
After Han Shuxian heard this, "Not necessarily, I haven't heard him do less harmful things in the past, but what happened in the end?"
Murong Tingxu sighed, "That's right, who made the Chen Guogong family rich and powerful!"
When the two were talking, they saw Chen Herong and Yixiao Er coming over, and the little second-hand came into the house with a tray, and when he walked to the door, Chen Herong shouted, "Master, it's ready."
After Han Shuxian heard this, "Bring it over."
"Good!"
Chen Herong and Xiao Er walked into the room, and after approaching the table where the two were sitting, Chen Herong took out the plates held in the little second hand and put them in front of the two of them, Han Shuxian said, "Brother Murong will taste it first."
Murong Tingxu looked at the plate on the table, it was obviously the same thing, but he mixed two plates, "How are there two plates?"
Chen explained, "I mixed two flavors."
After Chen Herong finished speaking, Han Shuxian explained: "We don't know what the tastes of the guests are, so you, the big owner, try it and see which flavor the guests prefer."
"It's still your intentions."
After Murong Tingxu finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of cold powder into his mouth, "It's really as the name suggests, it's cool to eat in your mouth."
He ate less chili peppers on this chopstick, and after talking about the first feeling, he said: "The taste is delicate, smooth, and there is a cool feeling, which is good, and the taste is also good." After speaking, I sandwiched another piece and tasted it slowly.
Han Shuxian didn't eat it, and after waiting for him to finish tasting the spicy one, he said, "Try this plate again."
"I don't need to eat this plate, I know it's spicy." Murong Tingxu said before he put down his chopsticks.
"Taste it, it's not just chili peppers."
Even if there was no Han Shuxian, Murong Tingxu would have tasted it, and put a piece of cold powder with a little more chili pepper in his mouth, and then the sour and spicy sensation in his mouth immediately filled his mouth.
The taste of the second plate is more than when Mo Ziyun sent the cold powder to Han's house and asked Yu Silian to add some chili peppers, reason
Since it is characterized by spicy, it is better to put more of it.
After the spicy taste, Murong Tingxu began to evaluate the second plate of cold noodles, "Although the taste of the first plate is good, it is far less exciting than the second plate."
After listening to his words, Han Shuxian laughed, "It seems that you like it a little more."
Murong Tingxu asked rhetorically, "Why aren't the two flavors sold together?"
Han Shuxian was stunned for a moment and then smiled, "It's not a loss, it's Brother Murong."
"By the way, if you think you can, this dish can be called 'Spicy.'"
Murong Tingxu had just been spicy, and now when he heard the name again, the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't stop rising: "'Spicy, good name!'" That's the name!"
Beijing is the second place where Han Shuxian came, and the first one is naturally the county's 'Fengyuan Restaurant', and the capital's diners come to talk and then prepare to go to Linxian 'Xianju Restaurant to talk to Guo Meng.
After the diners came, Han Shuxian didn't rush back, and went directly to Xie Wenhua's bookstore to see how the renovated bookstore was doing.
Han Shuxian has been running to the bookstore every day recently, just to see with his own eyes that the business of the bookstore is getting better and better day by day, not only likes to handle things in the bookstore, but also likes the toilet in the bookstore.
The current thatched toilet, not only does not smell, but you can also smell a faint fragrance of flowers when you enter it, which is naturally attributed to Mo Aster's saying that raising some flowers and plants to taste and beautify the environment.
"Why are you here?" Xie Wenhua, who was handling affairs in the bookstore, was very surprised to see Han Shuxian being brought over.
"I'll see if you're serious about doing things for you!" Han Shuxian quipped.
Xie Wenhua smiled, "Okay, I'll take you to take a good look at the current situation of our bookstore." With that, he got up and prepared to take Han Shuxian around.
Han Shuxian said, "Okay, I'll also have a good visit to your different bookstore."
"There are more people who come to the bookstore to read books." The two talked as they walked.
"There are many people who read books, and there are many people who buy books." Xie Wenhua now completely believes what Mo Ziyun said, after the bookstore has tables and chairs for everyone to come and watch for free, not only is there no situation where everyone only watches but does not buy what he was worried about before, but business is getting better and better.
After turning around, Xie Wenhua took Han Shuxian and finally stopped in front of the storybook compiled by Mo Ziyun, "In another half a month, the hardcover version of the storybook can start selling again."
After saying this, he said, "It's a pity that Wanyun is too busy every day, otherwise she would have made more money by thinking of a few more stories."
Han Shuxian: "She hasn't had time to think about stories lately, she's thinking about what will happen after the school starts!"
"You don't want her to go to the academy and teach those babies to read, do you?" Xie Wenhua asked in disbelief.
"Wan Wan is smart, and now the baby in the village is also taught by her very well, even Chunlin is also studying with her, and Chunlin is better at learning with her than with me."
"But when a girl enters the college, she will always be gossiped about, not to mention that she is only five years old, at this age, if you don't teach people to read, even ordinary people have not begun to recognize words, will those parents agree?"
"When the time comes, I will invite another person to come, she and Wan Wan will teach separately, Wan Wan is still teaching the babies he teaches now, and the other babies will be taught by the people invited, and there will be a comparison in the future, and everyone will know that Wan Wan is not joking when he teaches them to read." This is also Han Shuxian's thought after careful consideration.
"When the school is repaired, I'll send those two boys from my family to you, and let Wan Wan teach them together." Xie Wenhua was also a little tempted.
Whether it is Mo Ziyun's intelligence or reading, Xie Wenhua is also very clear, and Han Chunlin is studying with Mo Ziyun, he also wants his two sons to learn from Mo Ziyun, not only to learn to read, but also to be smart with smart people.
Like Han Shuxian, after seeing Mo Ziyun's cleverness, he also deeply disliked his son's stupidity.
"I'll talk about it when it's fixed." Han Shuxian didn't say yes, but now she has taught it
There are several, plus his two sons, he doesn't want his daughter to be too tired.
"By the way, you can help look down on the courtyard, and if there is a suitable one, send someone to bring me a letter."
"Don't worry, I've already let people watch, and I'll send someone to inform you if there's a suitable one."
"It doesn't need to be too big, it's okay to go in two." Han Shuxian told again.
"I know, it's right next to your yard!" Xie Wenhua said, "Your godfather deserves to be closer than his own father."
If he had bought a better yard, he would have bought it a long time ago, but he had to look for it near his small yard, and no one had said that he wanted to sell the yard at this time.
"She has a small family, but sometimes she comes to live once, and she doesn't live permanently, so it's not necessary to buy a big one, and it's good to buy a shop when she has more money." Han Shuxian explained.
"Her current money, not to mention buying a small courtyard with two entrances, even if she wants to buy a bigger one, she can get the silver."
Although he didn't know the income of the workshop, he could see the roast chicken, duck, and rabbit that diners came to sell, as well as the luncheon meat business, and he couldn't buy these things when he was late, so he must have made no less money in this kind of business.
There is also a bookstore, although the bookstore in Beijing opened for some silver, but now the daily business is several times better than before, and the money spent is also earned, and the more and more money is made, the money allocated to her is naturally more and more, and there is also money to write 'storybooks'.
After a rough calculation of the money Mo Ziyun has now, there are not a thousand taels but eight hundred, and she is constantly earning it later.
"As long as you can stay!" This is also what Mo Ziyun means, as long as they can live in their family.
