"Brother Meng, do you have any snacks for sale?" a boy asked.
"Snacks?" Meng Ning wondered, when did their family start selling snacks?
At this time Meng Li said: "No, it will be available tomorrow morning."
The children listened and ran away with expectation.
Then Meng Li told his two brothers about the person who made money selling snacks.
"You made more than 600 yuan from selling snacks?" Meng Wu said in surprise.
"Yes, big brother, big sister has her own way of purchasing goods. Those things cannot be bought from others." Meng Yao said, "I am selling them with big sister today. The children really like those snacks."
Meng Wu and Meng Ning sighed in their hearts. There is no doubt about their eldest sister's ability to earn money. In such a family, having an active and smart brain is much more useful than using limbs.
After the meal was almost done, the generous meals of the Meng family were put on the table.
Both sons were not at home. Meng and Shen had to cook for themselves when they came back from the fields, so they ate late.
On the table was a dish of fried pork belly with sauerkraut and a wild vegetable soup, but there were only a few slices of pork belly.
Ordinary people save money by being frugal, and they don't eat a sumptuous meal unless it's a festival.
While scooping up the brown rice, Mrs. Shen muttered: "The smell of meat is everywhere in the second room, and chicken was stewed two days ago. I rented the land for ninety taels, and I just thought about using it all up. I don't plan for life. Sooner or later, I’m going to eat up all that money.”
Boss Meng snorted and said with a hint of sourness: "You forgot, I just shot a tiger muntjac yesterday, it's worth at least twenty taels."
Mrs. Shen stopped talking.
Putting three bowls of rice on the table, he gritted his teeth and said, "These brats are lucky to have stepped on dog shit. It would be great if they were swallowed by a tiger, so as not to be an eyesore."
She just couldn't figure it out. It was a bit weird that two people could kill a tiger, right?
"It was a fluke once, but I got a big advantage this time. I have to go find the tiger the second time, and sooner or later I have to explain it to the mountain."
Boss Meng said sinisterly. He had been sitting at the table waiting the whole time and glanced outside.
"Where's Dawang?"
Before the rice was even served on the table, Meng Dawang couldn't wait to stretch out his chopsticks to pick up the meat.
Only then did Shen remember that she was afraid something might happen to Meng Dawang, so she hurried out.
Meng Dawang was squatting in the yard, using mud and water to build a house. His body was dirty everywhere.
Shen's face suddenly turned ugly.
"It's time to eat. Why are you eating like this? If you don't clean it up, I won't give you meat."
"I'm not eating." Meng Dawang didn't even raise his head. He was full from snacks.
Those snacks that are full of color, flavor and taste are no more tempting than the few slices of fatty pork belly with little salt on the table.
Mrs. Shen thought she heard wrongly: "What, you don't eat. Aren't you usually the most active in eating?"
"My stomach is full, I won't eat." Meng Dawang rolled his eyes.
"I caught a fish in the river today and grilled it."
Mrs. Shen didn't believe it, so she picked up Meng Dawang and looked at his belly. It was indeed round.
"You don't know how to take the fish home to eat when you touch it. You eat it by yourself. You are a heartless little brat."
Mrs. Shen stopped caring about Meng Dawang. Thinking that if Meng Dawang didn't eat, she could still eat two more pieces of meat, and her steps became brisk.
Meng Dawang continued to squat down and play in the mud, and even burped.
When going to bed at night, Meng Li took a look at the amount of snacks in the space.
It won't be a problem to sell it for five or six days. By then, there should be new progress in Qiushui Pavilion.
Lu Mu was lying outside the 38th parallel, already asleep, breathing evenly. His eyes were closed, his eyelashes were very long, casting a sparse shadow.
Meng Li blew out the kerosene lamp and closed her eyes.
The next day, she said to the man: "Is your cattle cart free? I want to use it."
"Going to the street to buy goods?"
"yes."
"I have free time in the morning, but I need it in the afternoon."
Meng Li hitched the cattle cart and walked a few steps when she found a man following her.
"Lu Mu, I can go by myself. You can go to the mountain and chop a load of firewood and come back."
She doesn't let men go with her, mainly because it's inconvenient.
"Then be careful on the road." The man didn't force him, he just warned.
When Meng Li reached the halfway point, he saw that no one was around, so he pulled the buffalo into the nearby jungle and pretended to have enough food for two days.
Then drive the buffalo home.
This big bull is called Dahei. It is huge and powerful, with blue-black skin and two big and sharp horns. It makes people a little scared when walking on the road. It is not tired even if it works all day long, and it is very efficient. .
Therefore, when villagers need plowing or transporting goods, they always turn to Lu Mu.
"Dahei, Dahei, only you and I know this secret."
Meng Li patted Dahei's head and said.
Dahei's long eyelashes trembled, and his eyes were gentle and clear.
Meng Ning was still at home, and he couldn't help but be curious when he saw things on the cattle cart that he couldn't name and had never seen before.
Is it really that delicious? I sold more than 600 coins in one day.
Meng Li took a pack of biscuits to her second brother.
Meng Ning ate it and her expression changed: "It's really delicious."
Not to mention a child, even an adult can't help but want to eat more.
Meng Li gave another handful of dried meat to her second brother and younger sister.
There are some dried meats in the secondary space, but the stock is small. Once you upgrade, there will be a large amount. These are higher-end snacks.
I won’t sell it anymore and give it to my family to eat.
Then the two sisters sat at the entrance of the yard and started selling for another day.
The children who had been looking forward to it since last night came quickly. They played around and asked for more pocket money from the family, and left with a handful of snacks in their arms.
After a while, Meng Dawang also came with a basket. He bought so much yesterday, of course he didn't finish it all. He came to see if there were any new snacks.
Suddenly I found two or three things I hadn't seen yesterday, and I bought them for another two hundred cents.
When he left, Meng Yao asked in surprise: "Does Dawang not eat but only eat snacks?"
"Don't worry about him, we just sell it."
"Sister, aunt is so stingy, where did Dawang get his pocket money?" Meng Yao suddenly thought of this question again.
"How else could it have come? It's hard to guard against domestic thieves, but what does this have to do with us?"
Meng Yao smiled mysteriously: "Yes, Dawang bought it with his own money. How do we know where his money came from?"
Meng Li thought that Meng Dawang might be the main customer in front of their stall for a while, at least until Mr. Shen discovered that he stole money.
Lu Mu came back with a basket full of firewood on his back and a large bundle in his hand.
In this trip, he could catch up with others three times without blushing or breathing.
Meng Li handed him a few pieces of dried meat.
"Thank you for your hard work, husband. Eat some dried meat to replenish your health."
Lu Mu opened the package and ate a piece. It tasted really good.
"Thank you ma'am for your consideration."
The two of them were just superficial. Although they were sincere, there was no blending of love between men and women.
But in Meng Yao's eyes, he was showing off his affection, covering his mouth and snickering, his eyes turning into crescent moons.
The eldest sister and her brother-in-law have a really good relationship.
Five or six days passed, and the snacks were almost sold out, with a total of just over three taels of silver.
The next step was to upgrade and sell again, and Meng Li turned her attention to Qiushui Pavilion again.
Looking back, the second batch should be new.
Qiu Shui Pavilion would not discuss the next batch with her until part of the inventory was released. What she wanted to attract was other bosses to come to her.
It happened to be street day today, and Meng Li took to the street.
I saw many women standing at the door of Qiushui Pavilion, all looking eagerly.
