The people setting up stalls around saw this scene. Although they were moved, they did not act.
One hundred and fifty cents per catty, who can afford this?
They can't afford it anyway.
However, in addition to stalls at the city gate, there are also city residents who come to buy things.
Previously, all the Shaqima sold by Li Qiao had been rounded up by Shopkeeper Wang, so these people had no chance to buy them.
Now that Li Qiao is finally available for retail sale, many people have come forward to inquire.
Anyway, it’s free to taste, so it doesn’t matter if you try it or not. After tasting it, most people didn’t buy it.
Those who buy it also buy it in half a catty or two taels.
Li Qiao had already expected this and was not impatient.
An hour later, he sold three kilograms of Shaqima.
Then he closed the stall and went into town to sell to food shops.
This time he went to the city to sell things, so he paid a penny in tax. After paying the tax, he turned around and saw Xiao Wu running towards him.
"Oh, Brother Li, I found you!"
Xiao Wu was very happy. He pulled Li Qiao aside and said quickly: "The shopkeeper wants to do long-term business with you. If you are not in a hurry now, then come with me to Wangyue Tower."
Li Qiao was a little surprised when he heard this. Wangyue Tower was a restaurant that sold snacks very quickly.
But not too surprising. In his previous life, all kinds of sweets were popping up in endlessly. Although Shaqima was squeezed into a corner, there was always a place for Shaqima in the dessert world, which is enough to prove the charm of Shaqima.
When Li Qiao returned to Sanliu Village, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Tao Zhu was the only one at home. Wang Guihua finished making bedding and took Li Xiaolan home.
"Are you tired? Sit down and have a rest. We have fried pancakes and fried winter melon for lunch. I'll heat them up for you."
As soon as Tao Zhu saw him coming back, he immediately asked him to sit down.
"Okay." Li Qiao showed a big smile.
Is this what it feels like to have someone waiting for him when he returns home?
Awesome!
Even though she wasn't hungry, Li Qiao still ate two fried cakes and a bowl of winter melon.
While eating, he recounted his day's experiences.
Tao Zhu sat aside and cut old fabric with scissors. He wanted to use the soles to make shoes. To get married, he not only needed new clothes, but also new shoes.
Although we can't catch up with the wedding day now, we still need to prepare.
When Li Qiao told Shopkeeper Wang's request, he was very surprised and put down the scissors in his hand: "You actually want twenty kilograms of cakes every day?"
"Shopkeeper Wang explained that his family loves to eat it. Both his mother and his children like it very much. If they let their stomachs open, his family can eat several kilograms a day."
Li Qiao explained.
"Very good!"
It doesn’t matter who likes to eat it, as long as someone likes it, that’s fine.
If you supply twenty kilograms a day, you can earn one hundred kilograms per kilogram, and twenty kilograms is two thousand kilograms!
Earning two taels of silver a day, my God, it’s like a dream!
Feeling happy, he also talked about making bedding.
In the morning, he and Wang Guihua were making bedding when Li Ping came.
Li Ping is here to buy Shaqima and gossip about what happened last night.
Tao Shu fell seriously last night. Not only did the wound on his forehead burst open and bleed, the bridge of his nose was also broken, leaving him in a semi-disabled state.
After Li Ping finished gossiping, Tao Zhu went into the kitchen to make Shaqima. Neither he nor Li Qiao expected that people in the village would come to buy Shaqima, so there was no ready-made one at home.
Seeing that it would take a long time, Li Ping simply sat down and helped make the bedding.
It was with Li Ping's help that the work that originally took a long time to complete was completed in half a day.
"I gave her two more taels of Feng Gao, and I also let my sister-in-law and Xiaolan eat a few pieces."
"That's right. These are all small things. You can make the decision." Li Qiao nodded.
Tao Zhu smiled when he heard this, feeling sweet in his heart.
Call the shots.
He is the master of this family this morning!
After Li Qiao had eaten, the two of them started making Shaqima again.
After finishing more than 20 kilograms of Shaqima, it was getting dark.
Tao Zhu went back to Li Liang's house to sleep. Li Qiao slept for more than two hours, then got up to catch fish.
He is too poor now. Fish does not require capital anyway, so he plans to sell fish for two more days.
Just like a few days ago, he earned more than 4,000 yuan from selling fish and Shaqima.
After returning to the village, he took a short rest and then made Shaqima with Tao Zhu.
This time, the two of them deliberately made more, because they were getting married the day after tomorrow, and it was impossible for him to go to the county town that day, so they had to send the day after tomorrow.
Moreover, Shaqima will appear as a dessert at their wedding banquet.
Although the weather is hot now, it won’t be a problem for Shaqima to stay for two or three days.
That night, Li Qiao went to catch fish as usual, and when he arrived at the county town at dawn, he received 6,000 yuan for forty kilograms of Shaqima and three hundred kilograms of fish.
He was getting married tomorrow, so he didn't delay in the county town. He bought some items needed for the wedding and hurried home.
After returning home, he went directly into the kitchen without taking a rest.
In the kitchen, Tao Zhu is making maltose damahua, which is a low-end version of yogurt damahua. This maltose damahua will become a dish at tomorrow's wedding banquet like Shaqima.
In addition to these two homemade desserts, of course there are also fish, chicken and pork that need to be bought for money, but fish is free, so the fish must appear at tomorrow's wedding banquet.
He was busy until evening, and one after another, people from the families he wanted to invite came.
Everyone came to discuss tomorrow's marriage. According to the custom in the village, they would meet the bride at noon, worship in the hall, and then have a banquet. Before this, the two newcomers could not meet each other.
But Li Qiao's situation was special. As long as the auspicious time of the visit was not delayed, everything else would follow the two newcomers' ideas.
I still need to build three simple stoves and cook a banquet dish at home tomorrow.
At night, everyone dispersed.
Tao Zhu followed Li Liang and Wang Guihua back to sleep.
Li Qiao also took a shower and went to bed.
However, after getting married for the first time in his two lives, he suffered from insomnia. Even the instant sleep he had developed in the apocalypse could not make him fall asleep successfully.
His mind was filled with Tao Zhu's face, and various scenes of the two of them living together in the future. After tossing and turning for half an hour, he fell asleep.
At four o'clock in the morning, he got up and went to the river to catch fish.
When he came back from catching fish, the weather was slightly cooler and the courtyard was already bustling with activity.
People came from all the houses he invited.
Everyone did not come empty-handed. They brought their family members in advance. Because Li Qiao was in a special situation, he and Tao Zhu's small family were really short of supplies.
Most of the people who live in the countryside are given items directly, and only a few wealthy families give money directly.
The banker and Butcher Zheng are both well off, but what these two families bring is not their share of money, but goods.
The dealer sent a sack of wheat, weighing a hundred pounds. There was also a large bundle of dry firewood.
Butcher Zheng took a clay pot of lard, which weighed ten kilograms, and twenty kilograms of pork that Li Qiao bought from him.
Li Gu took a bag of millet.
Li Dazhong took two big winter melons, a basket of cucumbers, and twenty eggs.
The uncle who was good friends with Li's father brought fifteen pounds of tofu and fifty eggs.
As for Li grain, he used a cart to bring a sack of wheat, a sack of millet, as well as onions, ginger, garlic and other condiments for the banquet. There are also the required pots, pans, tables and chairs.
Let's join in. The two young people, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, have very limited financial resources. Let's join together so that today's wedding can be lively and the two newlyweds can be happy.
Li Qiao looked at the lively scene in front of him. He glanced around and found Tao Zhu sitting on the bench choosing vegetables. His expression was serious, and he looked calm and outstanding.
He couldn't help but laugh. After living for two lifetimes, he was finally going to eat his own meal and have his own home.
When everyone in the courtyard saw Li Qiao standing at the entrance of the courtyard with a silly smile on his face, they all started laughing too.
"All young boys are like this." Li Gu said cheerfully.
"I was just like him back then. No, I must be stupider than him. After all, I'm not as handsome as him." Butcher Zheng also said.
This statement caused everyone to laugh.
Tao Zhu also chuckled, his cheeks slightly red, but his eyes looking at Li Qiao were surprisingly bright.
"Xiao Qiao, have you caught the fish?" Li Liang walked over and asked.
"After catching it, let my sister-in-law and Brother Zhu go with me to kill fish by the river." Li Qiao replied with a smile.
"Brother Zhu is a new husband. How can he smell like fish? You are the same. Let your sister-in-law, your second aunt, Chunsheng's wife, Chuntao and the others go."
"You stay to grind flour and eat multigrain pancakes for lunch."
There are more than a hundred people who want to eat at noon, and the number of multigrain pancakes required is quite large.
So, everyone got busy next. The fish killers, flour grinders, and vegetable cooks were busy until almost noon, when all the banquet dishes were finally ready.
The next step is to welcome the bride.
Tao Zhu had returned to Li Liang's house a long time ago. Although he wanted to work, he was the new husband, so how could anyone really let him work from morning to noon.
Li Qiao put on the azure cotton shorts, and happily went to Li Liang's house to welcome his bride, surrounded by Li Dashan, Li Dazhong and other young people.
