Chapter 128: Fifty thousand catties of salt

Qi Xiaoying drank such a good tea, and Meng Li also put a few snacks, and she couldn't sit and wait for the meal like this.

"Well, I like to cook."

Meng Li washed rice, Qi Xiaoying quickly lit a fire, and asked, "Sister Li, is my little sister also learning to read and write?" ”

"Well, Mr. also taught my little sister by the way, my little sister is young, and it is the time for enlightenment."

"After that, the little sister will definitely be fine." Qi Xiaoying said sincerely.

Girls' families generally do not have the opportunity to receive education, and I heard that those girls who can read and write have completely different lives from them.

Don't say anything about marrying someone or not, if she can marry Meng Ning, it is also a blessing, enough to ensure the stability of this life.

Let's just say that after learning knowledge, my mood has completely changed, and the feeling of being alive is different, as if I have opened another sky.

Meng Li smiled: "Hard work pays off, as long as you want to learn, you can also learn Sister Xiaoying in the future." ”

At least you can learn how to read and write letters.

Qi Xiaoying shook her head and smiled: "Where do I have this fate." ”

This is unthinkable.

Meng Li quipped: "When you marry my second brother, if you are willing to learn, my second brother will definitely teach you patiently." ”

Probably because from that era, everyone had to receive nine years of compulsory education from childhood to adulthood, and they couldn't control others, so Meng Li felt that everyone in the family should know a few words.

Qi Xiaoying's face suddenly turned red: "Oh, don't talk about this." ”

Then he took a basket of vegetables and went to the well to wash them.

Meng Li glanced outside, Qi Xiaoying worked neatly and seriously, she was a simple person, she was good-looking, and she was very good to be her sister-in-law.

Meng Yao came out of the study and was a little surprised to see that there was one more person busy.

"Sister Xiaoying, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, go back to study, I'll come with your eldest sister for dinner in the morning." Qi Xiaoying said to her.

"Hmm." Meng Yao ran back again.

Meng Li put a few pike crabs of more than a pound in the steamer, and pondered, this morning, Lu Mu is gone, I don't know where to go.

As soon as he thought about people, he saw Lu Mu coming in from the gate of the courtyard, carrying a large bundle of firewood on his shoulders and a large bundle of grass in his hands.

It occurred to her that the firewood at home was about to run out.

Lu Mu is not mechanical and thoughtful, perhaps, he is from the heart, and he may even find out what is missing in this family before her.

Put down the firewood, put the grass in the trough, and give it to the horses and cows.

The man walked into the kitchen.

Meng Li picked up the knife to chop the ribs, and he took the knife.

"You need 50,000 catties of salt, is there so much."

The matter of selling salt was handed over to the man, and Meng Li had been waiting for him to speak.

However, she did not urge Lu Mu, this kind of thing must be safe and secure.

At this time, it will be sold for 50,000 catties, and the wholesale price of one catty is 50 yuan, which is 2,500 taels.

And in her space, with the reserves of salt, it can be sold for more than three years if it is conservative, and if it is sold quickly, the goods can be sold out in one year.

"Yes." Meng Li said: "However, if you form a stable and in-demand cooperation with one family, don't look for another family for the time being, it's not good to be targeted by the imperial court." ”

This time it costs 50,000 catties, and her mood is still a little shaken, not just a matter of money.

A carriage transports 500 catties, and it takes 100 carriages to transport it, which is too easy to startle people.

However, on the side of Sichuan County, it is quite hidden along the way, and the other party wants so much salt, and will definitely take protective measures.

"Same as I thought." The man said.

After saying that, he regretted it a little, he wanted to keep his distance from Meng Li as much as possible, but sometimes, he would say it insincerely.

Meng Li smiled at Lu Mu: "I said it first, then it will be mine." ”

"Two bottles of Moutai were given away, right?"

"Sent out."

Considering that it should be in the hands of General Zhennan now, Lu Mu believes that few people can resist such a fine wine.

With the addition of Sichuan County and the south, his career can become at least one-third.

After steaming the pike crab, adjusting the dipping sauce, the pork ribs were used for frying, and then a serving of abalone braised pork was made, the lamb crutches were already stewed, and the pressure cooker sprayed a rich aroma -

The fragrance wafted throughout the courtyard and into the last room.

Xie Xian took a deep nose, this kind of farmhouse rice is much more delicious than that made in the big portal according to the established steps.

If he could also eat a hot, fresh meal, I don't know how satisfying it would be.

But the girl brought either white porridge or leftovers, and raised him like a dog.

Xie Xian planned to go to the kitchen and remind him.

But he hurt his bones, hamstrings and tendons, and after all his efforts, he couldn't get out of bed at all.

"Okay, you Lu Mu, you're really ruthless." Xie Xian was so angry that he scolded.

At that time, he crooked his neck and pretended to be dead, otherwise, he would have to poke two more holes in his body.

Xie Xian struggled for a while, and finally lay flat on the bed in vain, his eyes dark and gloomy.

He wanted to kill Lu Mu now.

Lu Mu sneezed in the kitchen.

"Sick?" Meng Li glanced at him.

"I feel like someone is scolding me."

"That's not me, I didn't scold you just now."

Lu Mu seemed to have an understanding: "In this way, you scolded me at other times." ”

Meng Li looked at the sky: "I didn't scold you just now, does that prove that I scolded you at other times?" ”

"Strong words."

"You are."

Lu Mu wondered, who was scolding him? What a guts.

Qi Xiaoying used another pot stove and also made a few home-cooked dishes.

Her cooking skills are very good, and the dishes she makes are full of flavor and flavor, and Meng Li is two more satisfied with this future sister-in-law.

The three of them are busy working together, and it won't take too long for a table of dishes.

The last dish was fried, and Meng Wu also pinched the time and entered the courtyard.

The food cooked at home is so delicious, even if the business in the store is good, I can't help it when it's about to arrive.

Meng Li went to shout, Mr. Jiang came out of the study, and the two students, Meng Ning and Meng Yao, followed him left and right.

"In the past two days, you have almost practiced one horizontally, and I will consolidate it this afternoon, and tomorrow I will start teaching you to recognize and write simple words, starting with the three-character scripture."

"Teacher, is it the beginning of human beings, the book of nature is good." Meng Yao asked crisply.

Mr. Jiang laughed happily: "You little girl, have you still learned?" ”

"When I passed by the town school, I heard the gentleman inside teaching the students to read these words, and said that it was a three-character scripture."

Mr. Jiang stroked his beard and nodded, the little girl has a good memory.

Although he had breakfast, he was still very hungry at this point, Mr. Jiang quickened his pace, and the fragrance kept wafting to the tip of his nose just now, and he secretly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.

I have to say that the food in the second room of the Meng family is so desirable.

It's still a table full of dishes, what do you want, expensive home-cooked, light and spicy.

A plate was placed in everyone's place, Meng Li sandwiched the sheep crutch bone for everyone, and sandwiched the shuttle crab, which was not suitable for drinking at noon, and also poured half a cup for everyone.

Qi Xiaoying was still a little surprised that the second room of the Meng family usually ate so well, but thinking about the current family business, it is normal to eat these.

Her position was next to Meng Ning, and she knew how to gnaw on the sheep crutches, but when she looked at the pike crab, Qi Xiaoying's face was at a loss.
