"No, let's clean up together."

"Okay."

Li Qiao nodded with a smile, the mandarin duck bath is also wonderful.

Of course, tonight will be even more wonderful.

Let's talk about Li Liang's family, the next day, as usual, they got up before dawn, including the youngest Li Xiaolan.

Soon, Li Dashan, Li Ershan, Li Xiaoshan, and Li Xiaolan all found that there was a fat duckling next to their pillows.

If you look closely, this duckling is actually made of maltose!

Li Ershan, who had the most lively temperament, didn't wear any shoes, and rushed out of the room barefoot: "Mother! Why do we have a duckling in our bed?! ”

Wang Guihua was making breakfast, and when she heard this, she replied: "This is the maltose duck that your uncle gave you." ”

These ducklings are not flat patterns hanging on a wooden skewer like sugar paintings, but a solid, three-dimensional maltose duckling.

One is full of two and two.

"Wow! Uncle has really made a lot of money! ”

Li Ershan opened his mouth wide and exclaimed.

Wang Guihua frowned when she heard this: "How did your uncle make a lot of money?" ”

"How can you afford to give away such an expensive duckling without making money?"

"I heard Gou Yu say that everyone in our village knows that Uncle Xiao makes a lot of money, saying that he does a big business, and eats meat every day, and when he passes by his door, he either smells meat or smells sweet, and people are reluctant to leave, and even the village chief's house can't compare to him."

"Nonsense! How can he make any money, and if he does, will he not pay his debts? He owes dozens of taels of silver, but now he hasn't paid back a tael! ”

Wang Guihua's face darkened.

Where did this rumor come from!

"That's it, Xiao Er, you are also short of heart, how can the uncle compare to the village chief's family. He doesn't have an acre of land now, and the village chief's family has more than 200 acres of land. ”

Li Dashan walked out of the room, also frowning.

"Forehead......" Li Ershan couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this.

He didn't think of this at the time, thinking that his uncle really made a lot of money.

"When you play with the dogs a few more, tell them that your uncle is still poor, with no land and no savings, not to mention that he is compared with the village chief's family, but he can't compare with our family."

Wang Guihua explained.

"Good!" Li Ershan nodded again and again.

"These ducklings are made by your uncle himself, not bought, you just eat them yourself at home, don't go out and talk nonsense." Wang Guihua said again.

"Huh? It turned out to be Uncle himself?! ”

"Uncle really knows how to make maltose?"

Li Dashan and Li Ershan were surprised.

"Your uncle has been reading books for so many years, although he didn't get the fame, but he has read a lot of miscellaneous books, and it's nothing to be a maltose."

"Uncle is amazing!"

Li Dashan and Li Ershan both looked impressed.

"He just went the wrong way, and now he has changed his ways, isn't it amazing."

Thinking of Li Qiao's smart and clever appearance when she was a child, Wang Guihua was a little emotional.

However, it would be nice to be able to correct it.

It's a pity that her in-laws are not blessed and can't see it.

Thinking like this, her thoughts turned to what Li Ershan had just said.

When did this rumor start in the village?

She couldn't sit still, so she asked Li Ershan to burn the fire, and she walked to Li Qiao's house.

Li Qiao went to the county seat to deliver goods, and only Tao Zhu was at home alone.

Tao Zhu heard this and frowned, Mrs. Tao had just come to make trouble with him, and this rumor was related to the four people of the Tao family.

"The fact that such nonsense rumors can spread shows that many people really think that Li Qiao has made a lot of money." Wang Guihua sighed.

She also thinks that the source is related to Tao Shu and a few people, but if it can be spread, many people must believe it.

"This person, there are no laughing people, there are sour people, when Li Qiao was a bad person, everyone looked down on him, and many people mentioned him in front of me and your eldest brother, hoping that he would be a little human. Now that his life is getting better and better, many people are sour in their hearts. ”

"Brother Zhu, human nature, don't take it too seriously. But the wealth is not exposed, you and Li Qiao cover it as much as you earn, don't tell others, do you know? ”

"Sister-in-law Xie reminded me that I would tell Li Qiao these words."

Tao Zhu nodded seriously.

Wang Guihua didn't stay long and hurried home.

Tao Zhu continued to make shaqima and twist flowers.

When the sun rose, Li Bottle came, and she came to buy big flowers.

"Sister-in-law, today's big flower has become fifty wen a catty." Tao Zhu Road.

"Hmm??? Why is it suddenly half cheaper? Li was surprised.

"Because the maltose used in this batch of twist flowers is made by Li Qiao himself, the cost is low, so the price of twist flowers is also low."

After Li Qiao made maltose by himself, the price of one pound of maltose he used to make shaqima and twist flowers changed from 200 wen to 50 wen, and the cost dropped, and the selling price naturally went down.

Do business, integrity-based, so that business can last for a long time, after all, no one is a fool.

When Li Bottle heard this explanation, he was surprised and happy at the same time.

"Tut, people in the same village don't pit people in the same village, you two are young and really do things. Give me ten pounds. ”

Originally, she only planned to buy five catties, and with a wave of her hand, she directly doubled it.

"Okay." Tao Zhu picked up the chopsticks with one hand, took the basket she brought with the other, and sandwiched twist flowers for her.

"By the way, sister-in-law, how much firewood do you have? I don't have enough firewood at home, but I don't have time to go up to the mountains to collect firewood today. ”

Tao Zhu asked.

"Enough, there is no shortage of dry firewood in my house. You lock the door and go home with me. Li Bottle nodded.

Her family has long-term workers and has always been short of dry firewood.

And on the day Li Qiao and Tao Zhu got married, Li Qiao casually drew a few shelves and cabinets that could be assembled and disassembled like a wheat sickle, so the manor and her man were obsessed with this interesting woodworking method these days, and cut back a lot of trees.

It is because her family now has surplus dry firewood to sell to Tao Zhu.

Tao Zhu responded well, locked the door, took the copper plate, and returned to the dealer with the plum bottle.

Along the way, the two of them met many villagers.

The villagers planted too much wheat to fit in the threshing field, so they would bring it to their homes, either piled up at home or spread directly on the road in front of their homes, so that passers-by could walk on it, which could be regarded as helping to threshing.

When I walked around a corner, there were several people standing in front of the house, and this was the Tao family.

The family was threshing the wheat straw with a flail, while Tao Zhu was sitting in the shade of a tree, mending clothes.

Tao Zhu's mother, Liu Cui, greeted Li Bottle with a smile: "Zhuang Wu's family, go buy twist flowers again." ”

"Yes, this twist is really good at it, and I want to panic if I don't eat it for two days."

Li Bottle nodded.

"Na Li Qiao's business must be very good, and he must have made a lot of money." Liu Cui rolled her eyes and looked at Tao Zhu, her eyes were eager: "Brother Zhu, tell me about your aunt, how much money can Li Qiao earn every day?" ”

"I didn't make a lot of money, and I had to run to the county every day, which was very hard." Tao Zhu said calmly, and he walked forward with Li Bottle.

"How much do you earn? The eldest aunt won't ask you to borrow money, as for hiding it? Running so fast, look at what scares you! Liu Cui was a little unhappy.

"Heh, mother, people are climbing high branches, and they can't look down on our poor relatives." Tao Yu sneered.

Hearing this, Tao Zhu paused, turned his head to look at Liu Cui: "Does it have anything to do with you how much money we earn?" ”

"You! I'm asking what's wrong?! Liu Cui was even more unhappy, and said loudly with a stalk around her neck.

"Then I won't tell you." Tao Zhu threw down these words, raised his steps and continued to walk forward.

Li Bottle sneered: "That's it, Liu Cui, how can others tell you how much money others make?" Why don't you come and ask how much my dealer makes? ”

Liu Cui: "......"

Her old face was as black as the bottom of a pot in an instant, how dare she go to find out how much money the dealer makes!

"Zhuang Wu's family, I asked Brother Zhu'er, but I didn't ask you."

Tao Zhu's white little face was also flushed with anger, but he didn't dare to quarrel with Li Bottle, so he could only nod his head fiercely and echo his mother's words.

"You can find out the private affairs of Brother Zhu'er's family as an outsider, why can't I, an outsider, say a fair word?" Li Bottle asked suspiciously.

"Also, don't say that you and Brother Zhu are a family, the villagers have watched him for so many years, and you haven't given him a nest."

Liu Cui: "......"

At this moment, she was completely speechless.

The men of the Tao family wanted to refute a few words, but they were men, Li Bei was a woman, and she was also Zhuang Fengshou's daughter-in-law, so they didn't dare.

So, Li Bottle snorted, pulled Tao Zhu and left.

When he was far away, Tao Zhu immediately thanked her, although he could also scold Liu Cui, but this would always affect his mood.

But now Li Bei made Liu Cui angry as soon as he made a move, and now he is in a good mood.

"What's this, it's a matter of moving your mouth." Li Bottle didn't care at all.

Tao Zhu smiled, in the future, Li Bottle will come to buy twist flowers, he will use more materials and make it more delicious.

Li Qiao came back at noon, and he met Wang Guihua who was cooking at home on the way, and Wang Guihua said the rumors, so he observed Tao Zhu's expression as soon as he went home.

Tao Zhu, as usual, saw him come back, brought him cold white open, noodles, and brought a fan to fan him.

"Brother Zhu, I heard my sister-in-law say about the rumors, don't take it to heart."
