Li Dafang came back soon. Li Ping'an went straight to the point and talked about the sale of osmanthus, and then said: "Now I can find some time in the land. If I can, I will start from tomorrow. Auntie, my mother and uncle, My aunt went up the mountain to hunt sweet-scented osmanthus, and the money she got from selling the sweet-scented osmanthus was shared equally between our families. Maybe your family suffered a bit, after all, it was Brother Dashan who had to find the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, but you also know the situation at the uncle's house and my uncle's house, so we suffered a little loss. Just lose a little, and the whole family shouldn’t be too fussy about it.”
"What are you talking about? It's not a loss at all!" Li Dafang glanced at Li Ping'an, "You all know that a family shouldn't care about everything. Am I not as good as you?"
Zhang Dashan also said: "It doesn't take much effort for me to find the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Anyway, I have to explore the situation on the mountain. If you can find anything along the way, you can find it. If you can't find it, you can't force it."
"It's time to start talking ugly." Li Ping'an said with a smile, "Anyway, it's only a matter of a few pennies or a dozen pennies."
Li Dafang waved his hand, "Okay, okay, there's no problem with me. Have you told Aunt Qi and Auntie?"
"Not yet, don't I have to tell you first? I can't worry about letting everyone run up the mountain so far without you." Li Pingan said flatteringly, "Auntie, then I'll leave this matter to you. By the way, I Mom asked me to ask you to come to my house for dinner in the evening, and you can tell my aunt and uncle then."
Li Dafang squinted, "Don't you have a mouth or legs?"
Li Ping'an hurriedly said: "Aren't my aunt and uncle busy in the fields? If you don't say anything tonight, then I will."
"Tell me about the business people you found. Tell them so that they will remember your kindness." After speaking, Li Dafang asked, "I heard from Xiaoshan that you brought a cow back today. Tell me. What's going on?"
Li Ping'an: "There's nothing to say. I just have a good deal with Mr. Wang. He gave me the cow."
Li Dafang was silent, and like Li Erlin before, he sighed quietly for a long time, "Auntie has always known that you are very capable, but I didn't expect that you can do things with a big shot like Mr. Wang. Auntie can't help you with anything, but I have something to say to you, although we are poor, our life is not unbearable. If it is something risky, you must remember not to take the risk."
"Auntie, don't worry. Don't you know me? I am a very timid person and cherish my life very much. I know it well." Li Ping'an said.
"As long as you know what's going on, okay, I won't tell you anymore, I'll go to your house to see the cows." Li Dafang turned to Zhang Xiaoshan and shouted, "Go to the fields and call your sister-in-law and your sister back, and follow them too. Your father said don’t make it too late, come back soon and have dinner at your second uncle’s house in the evening.”
Zhang Xiaoshan: "..."
Li Ping'an was so happy that he grabbed the pheasant that he had just slapped and followed his aunt back home. The people who came to look at the cows had also dispersed. Li Erlin and Li Dalin were accompanying Li Jianghe around the house. The ox was touched and looked at, and its eyes seemed to be glued together.
Ji Xiang Ruyi and the others, including more than a dozen of their uncles and aunts, took turns grabbing the forage and passing it to the cow's mouth. The cow had a gentle temperament and would not refuse anyone who came. They ate slowly and happily, and the children were successfully fed. Also very joyful.
Seeing the pheasant in Li Pingan's hand, Xiao Ruyi finally remembered this and ran over. Li Pingan didn't dare to let her catch the chicken. The pheasant was so fierce that Xiao Ruyi was no match for the pheasant. .
We don’t have a cage at home, but luckily we had extra bamboo when we built a bamboo house. Now it’s too late to make a bamboo cage, so I use a hoe to dig a hole in the kitchen shed and surround it with bamboo in a small circle, and throw the pheasants in.
Little Ruyi squatted beside her, looking at the chickens and cows for a while, her mouth almost reaching behind her ears.
After finishing this matter, Li Ping'an approached his father and said, "Dad, where are you going to build this bullpen?"
"Back of the house, closer to my room. I can better hear the noise at night, and your aunt can also help keep an eye on it. But it can't be built today. Your seventh grandfather said that he should be put in the cowshed in the village for one night. Let your uncle Yinshan come and help build the cowshed tomorrow. Your uncle Yinshan and his friends built the cowshed in the village."
He didn't need to worry about Niu's affairs, so Li Ping'an said to Li Jianghe, "Grandpa Qi, let's go into the house and talk about it?"
Li Jianghe nodded, took two steps and found that Li Erlin hadn't moved, so he stopped, "Just the two of us? Erlin isn't coming?"
"You can just talk. Ping An has already told me. He has the final say."
Although he knew that Li Ping'an was a smart kid, Li Jianghe was still surprised to hear from Li Erlin that Li Ping'an had the final say in matters at home. Li Ping'an was only thirteen years old, and he had seen many children of this age. Instead of being ordered around by adults, it is rare for someone to be able to take charge of the family and make decisions even when the adults are around, especially when the head of the family says it himself.
He couldn't help but take a deep look at Li Ping'an, and in his heart he raised the importance of the other party to a higher level, treating him like the head of the family.
Entering the room, the two of them sat opposite each other.
"Grandpa Qi, Uncle Yinshan told you that my family's jelly business has reached a cooperation agreement with Juwei Pavilion in the city. And as you can see in the past two days, the jelly I deliver to the city is getting more and more every day. Come." Li Ping'an doesn't like to talk too much nonsense, so he still chooses to keep it straight. He can finish the gossip and then talk about the real thing. "I'm not afraid to tell you honestly. Juwei Pavilion will need more jelly tomorrow, and we are still selling it in the city today. , all of them were sold in the blink of an eye, and it wasn’t enough to sell, and there were still many customers who didn’t buy it.”
Li Jianghe's mind moved slightly, and he probably guessed what Li Pingan was talking to him about. His eyes flashed, but he didn't speak, quietly waiting for Li Pingan to continue talking.
"The jelly business is very good. I estimate that we will need a lot of jelly every day. Making jelly is easy, but it is also time-consuming. We alone cannot make so much, so I want to ask Grandpa Qi to make it. Please come forward and find some more reliable people to join us in making this jelly together."
When he finally heard Li Ping'an say these words, Li Jianghe looked happy, but he quickly calmed down, "Of course there is no problem in finding someone, but will this make you make less money? You just suffered After a disaster, there are many places where money needs to be spent, and it is not easy to make an income."
"Grandpa Qi, don't worry. I will definitely not do anything to lose money. On the contrary, this way I can earn more!" Li Ping'an said with a smile.
Li Jianghe nodded, "Tell me what you want to do."
"Two ways!" Li Ping'an raised two fingers, "One is to build a jelly workshop in our village, and I will find more shipping ways, and everyone will share the money together. As for how to divide the money, I will talk about it separately. The other is The method is to help us make jelly for a month. The money I earn from selling jelly during this month has nothing to do with them. The reward is that I will teach them how to make jelly, and they only need to make what I make every morning. I don’t care about the required amount, as to how much there is or if they make it separately and sell it.”
