After the sweet potato workshop was suspended, the people in the village were able to earn a little money, and Li Qiao was indeed the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva!

Such a landlord, let alone in reality, has never been seen in opera scripts.

Li Qiao must fly hard and make a fortune!

But what about Xie Liqiao? They had already given Li Qiao a New Year's gift before, and if they sent it again at this time, Li Qiao would definitely not accept it.

But Li Qiao has another way to make money for the big guys, except for Li Huang's kind of best, who is embarrassed to take it for nothing?

Something more has to be delivered.

On the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the custom of the Pingcheng side, every family will make dumplings, and each family will make a lot of dumplings, not only tonight, but also on the morning of the first day of the new year.

Well...... Just give dumplings, which are not expensive and can also express their hearts.

The villagers all wanted to send dumplings, and now the dumplings of Li Qiao's family were also flooded.

Li Qiao: "......"

He refused.

But in the face of the enthusiasm of the villagers, his refusal was ineffective.

The villagers put the wrapped dumplings on the steaming grate, and each family sent at least one steaming grate, and after entering his house, they ignored his refusal and talked to themselves about putting the dumplings down.

The dumplings are all hand-wrapped by the villagers, and they can't really put these steaming grates on the ground.

There was no way, so Li Qiao moved the shelves, stools, and tables at home to the yard so that the villagers could put dumplings.

When it's cold, you can freeze it in the yard and store it for a longer time.

"Li Qiao, my family is stuffed with shepherd's cabbage and pork, this shepherd's cabbage was found by Brother Qiu in the mountains, it is the freshest and most tender, you and Brother Zhu can taste it tonight."

Zhang Xiuhua held a steamed grate dumpling and said to Li Qiao with a smile.

"Li Qiao, my family's dried bamboo shoots and pork filling, the bamboo shoots in it are bought in the county seat, dozens of dollars a catty, but it is expensive, and it is delicious to wrap it into dumplings."

"Where are you willing to buy this kind of dish that is more expensive than pork in the past, and today's good day is because of you, you and Brother Zhu must try this stuffing tonight."

Wang Liang also held a steaming grate in his hand, on which were his family's bamboo shoots and pork dumplings.

This stuffing was learned from Mochizuki Tower, and compared to the dumplings of other families in the village, his house is definitely uniquely fresh.

Li Qiao must eat his family!

"Li Qiao, my family's ...... with mushroom and pork filling"

"My family is stuffed with mutton!"

"My family's eggs are shepherd's cabbage, and more than half of them are eggs!"

“…… Tsk, my family is ordinary cabbage pork, but there is a lot of lean meat, and it is definitely not greasy to eat, Li Qiao, you and Brother Zhu can give it a try. ”

……

The villagers have a variety of dumpling fillings, half of which are regular cabbage pork, radish pork, etc., and the remaining half are patterns that have not appeared in the village before.

But no matter which one it is, the dumplings are filled with meat.

Li Qiao looked at the dumplings in the yard, and was very relieved that everyone's life was really better.

That's nice.

He has contributed to this paradise.

There are so many dumplings, Li Qiao's family will definitely not be able to eat them, so Li Qiao called the Li family, Zheng family, Zhuang family, and Zhao Mancang's family to come over to eat dumplings.

Not only tonight, but tomorrow.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year last year, Li Qiao's family cooked meat, including pig's trotters, sausages, pork ribs, and various meats stewed in several pots.

This year, it's still a bunch of people who are cooking.

But the type of rice has changed from meat to dumplings.

In order to prevent everyone from getting tired of eating, he not only boiled and ate these dumplings, but also steamed, fried, and fried.

The dumpling banquet was welcomed by everyone, except for the Zhuang family and the Zheng family, the rest of the people used to live a hard life, this kind of meat-filled white-flour dumplings, put aside the past to eat but still can't eat it.

They don't get tired at all!

With the efforts of everyone, it took three days to finish eating the dumplings sent by the villagers.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the weather cleared after being gloomy for many days.

As soon as the weather clears, the temperature rises significantly, and winter is coming to an end.

The sweet potato workshop is up and running again.

This year's sweet potato production has been reduced, and the sweet potato workshop will be completely shut down in another half a month.

Although the villagers were reluctant, they had no other way.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu took an ox cart to the county seat, and it was the day when they received money from the sweet potato workshop.

When they arrived at the county office, Jiang Zhixian settled the money to them, and then talked about building roads.

The prefect decided to build the official road between Fucheng and Heiseong into an adobe brick road, which was too long and cost not a small amount of silver.

The Mingzhifu originally didn't plan to build this road, but the vermicelli business in Pingcheng needed such a road, so the Mingzhifu and Jiangzhi County discussed it and decided to repair it.

Money is needed to build roads, but neither the county government nor the government can get the silver.

If you want to build this road, you have to ask everyone to donate money.

Those who earned money from noodles in Pingcheng, as well as those who often came to Pingcheng in Fucheng, became their key fundraisers.

After more than a month of hard work, Jiangzhi County raised more than 40,000 taels of silver.

This is a lot of money, not only the rich have paid for it, but some ordinary people have also paid for it.

The construction of this road is extremely beneficial to Heicheng, and it will attract more foreign traders to come in the future, so even ordinary people are willing to pay for silver.

Of course, I don't pay much, one article, a few articles, more than a dozen articles, even if they are added together, there is not much.

can make up more than 40,000 taels of silver, mainly relying on the rich.

is like the king's shopkeeper, who directly donated 5,000 taels.

Shopkeeper Zhao was also very active and donated three thousand taels.

Jiang Zhixian, as a parent official, also donated 1,000 taels of silver.

There are also those large and small shops in the county, as well as large and small landlords, some of these people are voluntary, some are forced, but even if they are voluntary, they are still forced, and in front of the fact that they talked to him in Jiangzhi County and donated 1,000 taels, they all supported the road construction incomparably.

Therefore, the rich men scraped together forty thousand taels of silver.

There is no news from the Mingzhi Mansion yet, but there are many wealthy people in the Fucheng, and the money raised by the Mingzhi Mansion must be more than that raised by Jiangzhi County.

Li Qiao knew about the road construction, although he and Tao Zhu did not go to the county seat a year ago, but for such a big matter, countless people passed the news to him.

He wanted to donate silver at that time, but Jiang Zhixian refused to let him, Jiang Zhixian said that he had already repaired the road from Pingcheng to Sanliu Village, and the official road from Pingcheng to Fucheng did not need his contribution for the time being.

When it is really repaired, if there is a shortage of silver, then he will symbolically donate some.

Jiang Zhixian didn't want Li Qiao to spend too much silver, and the royal pen plaque on the saint clearly pointed out: there must be Yu Qing.

Li Qiao must be rich!

If Li Qiao spent countless amounts of silver during his tenure, then there would be Yu Qing.

He didn't want to make a bad impression on the saint because of these small details.

Regarding Jiang Zhixian's brain circuit, Li Qiao couldn't cry or laugh a little, but since Jiang Zhixian didn't let him donate money to build the road, then he concentrated on digging the river.

After the closure of the sweet potato factory, the villagers had more time to dig ditches or continue digging wells.

After experiencing the tragic situation of last year's sweet potato production, the people of Shili and Eight Villages will be very positive about it.

"You can do it, but don't take up too much of your energy, this year's college exam is scheduled for the end of April, and reading is your first priority."

Jiang Zhixian said so.

"Students know, adults can rest assured."

Li Qiao should go down.

There is nothing more important than his reading.

Back in the village, Li Qiao found Zhuang Fengshou, he was going to study next, and the matter of digging ditches and digging wells could only be organized by Zhuang Fengshou.

After the sweet potato workshop was suspended, not only the people of Sanliu Village, but also the people of the surrounding villages became busy.

Li Qiao taught the people of Sanliu Village the practice of bacon, so Shili Eight Village set off a pig boom again.

Taozhu's duck workshop is booming, and there are many people who raise ducks in Shili and Eight Villages.

If it weren't for Li Qiao's repeated emphasis on not raising more, lest he get sick and infect everyone, and make everyone's hard work come to an end, then many people would want to build a duck farm.

In the midst of this busyness, the work of digging ditches also began.

A light rain fell, draped the brown earth in green, spring really came, the temperature rose, the grass dyed green, everything looked bright and vibrant.

There are only two months left before Li Qiao's college exam.

Chapter 88 The outsiders chew the root of the tongue, and Li Qiao gets angry to solve the child's affairs

At noon that day, when Tao Zhu came back from the duck factory, his face was not very good.

Although he tried his best to hide it, Li Qiao could see it at a glance, After lunch, the two of them went back to the backyard to take a nap as usual.

The weather is warm, and it has been sunny recently, so Tao Zhu takes out the bedding to dry every day, and the two sets of bedding are alternated, so that the bedding can be laid and dried every day.

But if you take a nap, you can't take off your clothes and sleep at night, so it's easy to sleep all afternoon.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu usually just took off their shoes and lay on their sides in bed, and the same is true today.

Li Qiao was lying on her side, most of her body was pressed against Tao Zhu, the tip of her nose was the smell of sunlight on the futon, and there was also the smell of soap horn on Tao Zhu.

He was like holding a plush toy, first hugged Tao Zhu a few times, then pinched Tao Zhu's ears, and pulled his arms, these actions did not contain any desire, but simply wanted to be close to Tao Zhu.

After rubbing it for a while, he was satisfied and hugged the person in his arms.
