Feeling the comfortable warmth on Tao Zhu's body, he closed his eyes.

If you get up, you have to worry about the transportation of vermicelli, and if you can't afford it, you don't have to worry!

Moreover, this kind of weather is most suitable for lying in the bed with his lover, he doesn't think about it.

"Then let's lie down a little longer." Tao Zhu patted him and adjusted the posture of his shoulders to make him more comfortable.

"Brother Zhu is so good, Li Qiao can't live without Tao Zhu, just like people can't live without food~" Li Qiao couldn't help but rub Tao Zhu's neck.

Itchy, Tao Zhu couldn't help laughing: "Speaking of food, what do we eat in the morning?" ”

"Hmm...... You'll have to drink the hot soup. Chun Tao made noodles last night, and this morning I want to steam the buns, and the buns with vermicelli and pork filling are paired with egg cakes, and they are all alive. ”

Li Chuntao's steamed vermicelli buns are delicious, take a bite of the skin, expose the filling inside, and then add chili oil made of pottery bamboo to the filling, the taste is extremely delicious, and he is not tired of eating ten in one go.

“…… Why don't we get up and help the spring peach steamed buns. Li Qiao opened his eyes, he couldn't wait to eat the soft skin and spicy stuffing buns.

Tao Zhu naturally has no opinion, food can dispel troubles, eat a comfortable meal, then nothing is a problem!

So, the husband and wife got up.

When they opened the door, a cold air was wrapped in a small breeze and rushed into the house, and the two of them couldn't help but shrink their necks, it was so cold!

Looking at the snow in the yard, it was knee-deep.

Li Qiao couldn't help frowning, today's noodles are not good to send to the county seat.

In the front yard, Li Dashan had already come.

Soon Li Chuntao and Li Shu also came.

Li Qiao cleared the snow, and Tao Zhu and the others made breakfast.

In the village, smoke rises from every house.

Because the whole village makes vermicelli, this year's workers do not have to eat and live in the workshop, they eat and sleep back to their homes.

Making vermicelli is actually very tiring, not easy at all, and the workers are exhausted after making vermicelli for a day, so the housework falls on the elderly and children.

But no one complained.

The salary of more than 300 yuan a day, if there are many workers in the family, you can earn two taels of silver a day.

Now reality is more beautiful than dreams, how can there be time to complain, those old people and children just want this kind of life to last a long time.

After breakfast, it was not yet dawn, but the sweet potato workshop had already started.

The work of clearing the snow fell to the elderly and children.

Li Liang and Wang Guihua also entered the sweet potato workshop to make vermicelli, and the work of making maltose fell to Li Ershan and Li Xiaoshan, and the amount they made each time was only enough to supply Li Qiao's snacks.

It's better to make maltose than to make vermicelli to make money, and if you have that kung fu, of course, you can make vermicelli.

Li Ershan and Li Xiaoshan are busy with family affairs and will come to Li Qiao's house to make noodles.

Li Qiao's family naturally also wants to make vermicelli, but last year's preparation was insufficient, and his family's vermicelli was gone in the summer.

This year, you can't do that, you have to make enough vermicelli.

Li Ershan and Li Xiaoshan had breakfast, first swept away the snow in their house, and left Li Xiaolan to take care of the house, and then the two brothers came to Li Qiao's house.

Coupled with pottery bamboo, today's sweet potato workshop of Li Qiao's family has also started.

But Li Qiao didn't study, he went to find Zhuang Fengshou, and wanted to organize people to sweep the snow out of the road, otherwise, only rely on the 100 people in the transport team, when will the noodles be transported to the county seat.

Zhuang Fengshou also had this intention, and he beckoned the old people and children in the village to clear the snow.

When Zhuang Fengshou organized the people, it was dawn, and the people of the convoy came.

It turned out that the people in the villages along the way saw the heavy snow and were afraid that it would affect the transportation of vermicelli in Sanliu Village and Zhujia Village, and the people in their village wanted to come to Sanliu Village to sell starch, so they took the initiative to start clearing the snow.

There were snow clearing in these villages, so the transport team came all the way and did not encounter too many obstacles, and soon came to Sanliu Village.

Li Qiao: "......"

It's good, he doesn't have to worry about it.

However, today is not the most difficult to walk, the most difficult to walk is the snow BY Yu Yan. When it comes, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk like rain.

The matter of building roads still has to be mentioned to Jiangzhi County.

If Jiang Zhixian still disagrees, then he can ask several villages along the way to donate some money...... In this way, this road can be regarded as a joint construction of everyone.

He hadn't thought of calling on people to donate money before, because he felt that others might not be willing to donate, so why should he be a wicked person and take money out of other people's pockets.

In addition, he was worried that the huge amount of silver would cause pink eye, so out of various considerations, he thought about building this road himself.

But looking at the current situation, it is not impossible for everyone to build roads together.

Of course, he doesn't call for donations.

Donating is all voluntary, and with his current reputation, if he calls for it, others will donate a little bit whether they are reluctant or not.

This is tantamount to forced donations.

He didn't want to turn a good thing into a bad thing, so he should discuss it with Jiang Zhixian first.

After the snow melted, it soon came the day when Jiangzhi County would give Li Qiao a piece of silver.

Because there are too many workers in the sweet potato workshop in the county, the wages there are not daily settlements, but ten-day settlements, otherwise it will take a lot of time just to pay wages every day.

The division of Li Qiao's side is also a ten-day knot.

Jiang Zhixian already has ambitions to display, and he is ready to hand in a full score answer sheet, so on the sensitive issue of wages and sharing, he calculates the accounts clearly.

Although Li Qiao only takes half of the share, the profit of the sweet potato workshop is 6,000 taels a day, and 60,000 taels on the 10th, so Li Qiao can get 3,000 taels.

Of course, Li Qiao's share also has to deduct the wages of the lifters, showmen, cooks and others, but compared with three thousand taels, this is a small amount of money.

There is too much silver, whether it is copper coins or silver ingots, they are too eye-catching, so Jiangzhi County gave Li Qiao a silver ticket.

Dasheng's silver ticket is only one hundred taels, so even if it is a silver ticket, Li Qiao has to take a box.

After counting the silver tickets and clearing the accounts of the previous ten days, Li Qiao talked to Jiangzhi County about building roads.

Jiang Zhixian did not agree with him to build the official road from Pingcheng to Fucheng, so he should repair the road from Sanliu Village to Pingcheng.

Jiang Zhixian naturally still disagreed, he comforted Li Qiao, don't be afraid, this year's New Year, the saint will definitely know the name Li Qiao.

Seeing this, Li Qiao could only rest his mind again, it was impossible for him to use the kind of grinding skin when he returned Li grain and silver to Jiang Zhixian.

He thought that this thing would not be done before the Chinese New Year, but after another heavy snowfall in Layue, Zhuang Fengshou took the initiative to talk to him about building roads.

The author has something to say:

I slept today, I'm late, so try to be early tomorrow...... QAQ

Chapter 70: Li Qiao has few plots. For the New Year, build roads, and prepare to register for the county exam

Not only did Li Qiao find the road leading to the county seat from Sanliu Village difficult, but the people of Sanliu Village naturally found this road difficult to walk.

But the people of Sanliu Village were used to walking this road before, and in addition to paying grain tax on weekdays, they basically didn't have to walk this road.

If it's raining and the roads are muddy, don't go to the county seat, anyway, there's nothing important to do that day.

If there is no demand, then there is naturally no motivation to change.

In addition, the surrounding villages are also such dirt roads, so the people of Sanliu Village did not think about building this road before.

But that's no longer the case.

Now their vermicelli has to be transported to the county seat every day, and that's not one tael or ten taels of silver, that's four hundred taels of silver for the whole village!

Four hundred taels of silver a day, if you can't transport it, then how worried you are.

They knew that the noodles would not be sold, even if they had a backlog of a few days, but there was so much silver involved, that they had never seen so much silver in their lives.

Now the days are like dreams, and they are afraid of long nights and dreams, so they are anxious.

If they can't turn vermicelli into silver for a day, then their hearts are like a fire burning, and they can't sleep at night.

As a result, many people found Zhuang Fengshou, thinking about whether they could build this road.

Zhuang Fengshou also wanted to build a road, so he came to find Li Qiao.

This point is really beyond Li Qiao's expectations.

He thought he was the only one who wanted to build the road, but now the villagers couldn't bear it.

This is really good, now it depends on how Jiang Zhixian refuses.

Jiang Zhixian really couldn't refuse this.

Before, he was afraid that the saint would think that he was coercing Li Qiao to take a huge amount of silver to build the road, but now the whole village of Sanliu Village wants to build the road, and he has no reason to refuse.

With a wave of his hand, he was ready.

Sanyanagi Village looked at it himself.

Jiang Zhixian agreed, and Zhuang Fengshou gathered the whole village on the morning of Laba to discuss how to build this road.

The reason why I want to build the road is so that I will no longer be afraid of rainy days.

If that's the case, then you have to build a road like the county seat.

The road in the county is made of green bricks and stone slabs, which is not particularly flat, but it will not be potholes, and it is not afraid of rainy days.

But whether it is bricks or stone slabs, it costs a huge amount of silver, because Sanliu Village is too far away from the county seat.

So how should this money be apportioned?

In the early morning of Laba, the cold air hits people, the sky is not completely bright, and many people are still holding Laba porridge in their hands.

This year, the laba porridge of every household is boiled thick, not only enough eight kinds of grains are put in it, but also put sugar, sweet and warm, in this kind of mouth on the cold morning to come such a bowl of laba porridge, the whole person is refreshed.

Zhuang Fengshou's words fell, and Han Xiaoyan, who was drinking porridge with a bowl, immediately said: "Of course, Li Qiao is responsible for all the money, he has earned tens of thousands of taels of silver!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around her suddenly cast angry glances at her: "Isn't your family making no money?" ”

"Li Qiao's silver is what he should earn, if it weren't for him, there would be a good life for your family now?!"
