The next day, because yesterday's fish balls were so delicious, whether it was Li Qiao or Tao Zhu, Li Qiao went to the river to catch more than ten fish, ready to make fish balls again.

This time, while Li Dashan was stirring fish meat with a meat grinder, he made a handle and put it on the meat grinder made of pottery and bamboo, so the second meat grinder in this world was ready.

With a second meat grinder, the process of fish balls is greatly accelerated.

For lunch, it's noodles again, but today it's noodles, the noodles are rolled out very thinly, cooked and then cooled in water, and the side dish is scrambled eggs and beans with diced eggplant, and fish balls are added to it.

Li Qiao filled a full pot with a clay pot, added a few spoonfuls of chili oil, and took a bite, it was fragrant, spicy and strong, and every pore on her body was satisfied.

Tao Zhu couldn't help but praise Li Chuntao: "The craftsmanship of Chuntao is getting better and better." ”

Li Dashan didn't raise his head when he ate, and nodded when he heard the words, his sister-in-law's cooking skills, it's absolutely no problem to go out and set up a stall!

Li Chuntao smiled when she heard this, and prepared to go home with a bowl of fish balls, there were many things at home, and her mother's illness had not yet recovered.

It's not a serious illness, it's mainly sad, Zhao Erniu slandered her but was punished by God, and now many people believe that she is innocent.

But believing in it, there are still no good people coming to the door to propose marriage, so her mother's old illness recurred, and her heart began to hurt again.

Alas.

Li Chuntao went home, and after Li Qiao had lunch, he asked Li Dashan to send the newly made meat grinder to Zheng's house, and sent a bowl of fish balls by the way.

Li Dashan took the order and held the meat grinder, and there was a bowl of fish balls in the meat grinder, but he did not go directly to Zheng's house, but went back to his house.

Last night, his father and mother happened to be pulling candy, so he personally pinched a little duck out, which was exactly the same as the one his uncle gave him, fat, cute and delicious.

He was going to give this little duck to Brother Asao.

When he arrived at Zheng's house, he was warmly welcomed by the Zheng family, but when Zheng Qianqian saw him coming, he snorted and turned around to go back to his own room.

"Eh, Brother Qian, I have something for you." Li Dashan hurriedly took out the maltose duckling wrapped in oiled paper in the meat grinder.

When Zheng Qianqian heard this, he paused and turned to look at him, but there was disgust on his beautiful face.

Seeing this, Li Dashan was encouraged, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to open the oil paper: "I pinched it myself, you can taste it." ”

Zheng Qianqian lowered his eyes, stared at the duckling for a few seconds, and then lifted his eyelids to look at Li Dashan.

Li Dashan stared at him with a smirk, his eyes bright.

He snorted: "Is Brother Zhu at home?" ”

"At home!"

"Then I'll go talk to Brother Zhu." With that, he took the oiled paper and turned back to the house.

When he came out again, he also grabbed an oiled paper bag in his hand, and said to Li Dashan with a cold face: "Let's go." ”

"Huh!" Li Dashan hurriedly followed.

So, the two of them left the Zheng family one after the other.

The Zheng family was a little stunned, and the Zheng butcher asked Zhao Ting with some uncertainty: "Is this family business done?" ”

Zhao Ting couldn't help laughing: "Brother Qian'er is still angry in his heart, but nine out of nine will be done." ”

"Ouch, that's great!" Zheng Tuhu slapped his face with joy, he matched it so well!

Li Qian didn't expect Li Dashan to bring Zheng Qianqian back, he was a little surprised, this stupid boy still has some ability on his body.

Zheng Qianqian saw Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, and his little face, which had been stretched all the way, suddenly disappeared, and he opened the oil paper bag in his hand: "Come, eat melon seeds." ”

When Li Qiao and Tao Zhu grabbed a handful of melon seeds, he put the oil paper bag on the table, and didn't look at Li Dashan, but talked about gossip with Tao Zhu with a smile.

"Brother Zhu and Brother Buck, you don't know yet, Han Xiaoyan is back."

"Huh?" Tao Zhu really didn't know about it, he looked surprised: "When did you come back?" ”

Li Qian didn't know about it either, he asked Li Dashan to serve iced sour plum soup while looking at Zheng Qianqian: "It's not Brother Dazhong who went to invite him back, right?" ”

"Of course not! It was sent back by her mother's brother last night, and it happened to be seen by the villagers, so it came out. ”

Zhao Erniu's punishment has attracted great attention in the village, and now Han Xiaoyan, who also covets Li Qiao's recipe, has returned, and the villagers are naturally also very concerned.

Zheng Qianqian was well-informed, and he knew early in the morning, even if Li Dashan didn't go to Zheng's house, he would come to Tao Zhu to talk about it.

"Come back, come back, after all, I have two children with Brother Dazhong." Tao Zhu was surprised, the two children are normal, and it is normal to come back.

Li Qiao also felt normal, it was not Li Dazhong who took the initiative to invite back, but she came back in a gray way, hoping that she could remember this lesson and be a demon in the future.

"If she can accept her heart and live a good life with Brother Dazhong, then this is a good thing."

"Hopefully." For Li Dazhong's sake, Zheng Qianqian didn't laugh too much.

At this time, Li Dashan put a bowl of sour plum soup in front of him, he took a sip to moisten his throat, did not give Li Dashan any looks, but said to Tao Zhu with some annoyance: "Today, the eldest brother went to the hunter to buy pig intestines, and he didn't sell it." ”

“…… Why not sell? Tao Zhu was puzzled.

Li Dashan was also puzzled, he brought a small bench over, sat opposite Zheng Qianqian, supported his cheek with one hand, and looked at Zheng Qianqian with concern.

"The hunter couldn't guess what we were buying pig intestines for, so he refused to sell it to us. Alas, the pig's small intestine is not enough at this time. ”

Zheng Qianqian said and glared at Li Dashan expressionlessly, annoyed.

Li Dashan: "......"

He scratched his head: "Do you want Grandpa Zheng to kill a few more pigs?" ”

"Too busy." Zheng Qianqian still glared at him, isn't this talking nonsense!

"That's a real problem." Li Qiao twisted her eyebrows slightly.

Even if Zheng Butcher asked Zheng Qianqian's uncle for help, the manpower was still limited, and it was enough to slaughter three pigs every day.

Moreover, according to this trend, not only are there not enough people to kill pigs, but there are also not enough pigs.

There are a number of pigs raised by every household, and pigs can not be raised in a day, and many people keep pigs for the New Year to eat, and they are reluctant to slaughter until the New Year.

Now that Zheng slaughterers have doubled the number of pigs slaughtered every day, and there is still that hunter competing, there may not be any pigs to slaughter before winter.

What to do?

Calling on the whole village to raise pigs together?

But pigs are not raised in a day, in case something happens to this business, what if the pig Zheng butcher raised by the villagers can't eat it?

Li Qian said this worry, Zheng Qianqian suddenly became even more annoyed, yes, the pig source is a big problem, what to do?

This problem is really serious, Zheng Qianqian had never thought that there would be no pigs to slaughter before, he couldn't sit still, he had to go home and discuss this matter with his family!

"It's not easy to make money." Li Dashan looked at Zheng Qianqian's back and sighed.

I thought that the Zheng family's business would definitely become more and more prosperous, but it turned out that there was such a hidden danger.

"Not really." Li Qiao nodded.

Yesterday, the Zheng family bought the pig intestines of the hunter, and made more roasted sausages, so they gave him more than 700 yuan.

Now it seems that this number cannot be sustained and will have to go down.

"Actually, I used to want to raise pigs." Tao Zhu Road.

What about the big pig, when he is killed and eaten meat during the New Year, he can always get a piece of meat.

But he had to cut pigweed and make pig food every day, and he had to be busy with the work in the fields, so he couldn't afford to raise pigs anymore, so he only raised chickens at home before.

At this time, when he mentioned raising pigs, he couldn't help but think of this little wish in the past.

When Li Qiao heard this, he immediately said: "When we build a new house, we will raise it." ”

"We make dim sum, and if we raise pigs, it doesn't smell good at home." Tao Zhu immediately shook his head.

Now there is no shortage of meat to eat, and this pig does not need to be raised.

"You can build a yard for raising livestock."

“…… That's an exaggeration, right? Tao Zhu's eyes widened.

Li Dashan was also shocked, can he still build a yard to raise livestock?

Li Qiao nodded: "As long as you have money, it's not a matter of moving your mouth." ”

Now with the addition of Li Dashan, the number of youth groups that he and Tao Zhu provided to Mochizuki Tower every day has become three hundred.

A youth league earns 11 wen, and 300 is 3,300 wen.

On the other hand, the Zheng family's business found people from Zheng Qianqian's uncle's family to help kill pigs and chop meat, so the daily marinated meat, grilled sausages, and meatballs also increased.

In this way, not only did the Zheng family earn more money, but also more silver distributed to him and Tao Zhu, and the minimum was more than 500 wen a day.

Coupled with the five taels of silver that Shaqima and Da Ma Hua, now he and Tao Zhu can get almost nine taels of silver a day.

Of course, you also need to remove the daily food, drink, and other daily expenses.

For example, asking Xiaowu to build two large iron boxes in the blacksmith shop as ovens, such as buying farm tools and buying board cars-

He and Tao Zhu gritted their teeth and were ruthless, and finally decided to buy a board car that belonged to their own family, instead of renting a board car from Li Liang's family for a long time.

These expenses are not small, the original body sold everything that could be sold at home before, and now he and Tao Zhu have to buy it back one by one.

But even so, at least a few taels of silver can be earned every day.

Not to mention that this income is in the countryside, even in the county seat, it is not small.

According to this income level, it is not difficult to build a yard to raise domestic animals.

"Forget it, work, return the money first. And we have to go to Zhujia Village to have a look. ”

Tao Zhu saw that Li Qiao was too far away, so he pulled his thoughts back.

This afternoon, the sweet potato seedlings and corn were all planted, and the two of them were going to see it again.

There is a lot of work, Li Qiao nodded, indeed, let's work first.

In the evening, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went to Zhujia Village, and saw that the sweet potato seedlings and corn had been planted, and the two of them were quite satisfied with the speed of Chen Tiezhu and Wang Xiuying.

I checked out the bill, and when I got home, it was already dark.

Tao Zhu didn't wash with Li Qiao like before, but opened the money box and took out the deed inside to take a look.

This is his new habit, and he has to read the deed at least three times a day.

Get up in the morning, open the cash box and look at it.

When you put the money in the cash box when you check out with Xiao Wu, take it out and look at it again.
