Tao Zhu is making a large plate of chicken.
Recently, he had been eating sweet snacks all day long, and he wanted to eat something salty and spicy for a change. It happened that he had bought some ingredients in the county last time, so he thought of making a large plate of chicken.
"Hey, what does this smell like? It's too fragrant!" Zhang Gui'e sniffed. This was the first time in her life that she smelled such a strong spicy smell.
"Yes, it smells good."
Others also twitched their noses. It smelled so good. It was spicy and tempting.
"Brother Zhu is making fried chicken. He added some unusual spices to it, so the taste is richer."
Li Qiao explained.
"No wonder!"
Everyone understands.
"Li Qiao, your family's life is getting better day by day." Zhang Gui'e sighed.
"What we do is a small business, and it relies on Brother Zhu and I being willing to endure hardships and be diligent." Li Qiao said with a smile.
Small business?
They have cooperated with Wangyuelou, the largest restaurant in the county. Can this be called a small business?
He was too modest in his words.
"Then the business between you and Brother Zhu must become a big business, so that the villagers can also benefit from it."
Zhang Gui'e said as if joking.
"Of course, fellow villagers, Brother Zhu and I will definitely not forget you if something good happens."
"Then we will remember your words."
"Li Qiao and Brother Zhu are both real people, not imaginary."
"The couple also know how to be grateful. Look how kind Li Qiao is to Li Liang, the people who lent him money in the first place."
…
While these people were praising Li Qiao and Tao Zhu, they were secretly upset.
Alas, why didn't I be bolder back then?
Look at the benefits that families like Liliang are getting now and the more benefits they will get in the future. I am envious!
However, fortunately, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are both grateful people, and they will remember the good things done to them. Therefore, if they failed to help Li Qiao and Tao Zhu when they were in despair, they must keep an eye on them in the future.
If people like Li Miao Taoshu come to cause trouble again, they must be at the forefront!
The villagers sold what they had and didn't need to keep any more. They hurried home to cook or eat.
On Li Qiao's side, people kept coming with things one after another, so it was past dinner time, and the yard became quiet until two o'clock.
"Come and eat."
Tao Zhu has been waiting for him.
When Li Qiao washed his hands and sat at the dining table, Tao Zhu handed him the chopsticks: "I just tasted it and I think it's good. I don't know if you like it."
Tao Zhu said, picked up a piece of chicken leg meat with chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of Li Qiao.
"I can rest assured that you can cook."
Li Qiao looked at the chicken drumsticks in the bowl and couldn't help but move forward and kiss the person next to her on the lips.
After these few days of getting along, Tao Zhu was used to his frequent kisses, but every time he was kissed, Jun couldn't help but smile.
He said softly: "Try it first before talking."
"It tastes delicious at first sight." Li Qiao said, picking up the chopsticks and putting the chicken leg meat dipped in red oil into his mouth.
The chicken thigh meat is tender and tender, and it absorbs the flavor of peppers and seasonings. As soon as it enters the mouth, Li Qiao narrows his eyes with satisfaction.
Fresh and spicy, it was the taste in his memory.
"Brother Zhu is awesome, delicious!" He looked at Tao Zhu and gave a thumbs up.
After receiving his approval, Tao Zhu smiled softly: "Then eat quickly, it's already so late."
Li Qiao hummed and took a piece of chicken leg meat for Tao Zhu, and then stretched his chopsticks towards the noodles in the basin.
The noodles in the large plate of chicken are wide noodles, and the noodles made by Tao Zhu are very chewy. The noodles soak up enough soup and are very satisfying to eat in one bite.
Tao Zhu saw him pick up several noodles with chopsticks, so he picked up some pieces of meat for him: "If you like it, you can make this noodles again tomorrow."
Li Qiao couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, because Brother Zhu only said about making this noodles, not this pot of fried chicken.
He said: "Eat it, don't feel bad. If you like it, we can eat this fried chicken every day."
"We are still in debt." Tao Zhu reminded.
"Then let's pay back Uncle Mancang and Brother Dazhong's money today."
Zhao Mancang was the uncle who had a good relationship with Li's father. Like Li Dazhong, he lent him one tael of silver that day.
"Wait until Xiao Wu comes to settle the account tomorrow and then pay Butcher Zheng back."
Li Qiao said.
He had saved some money in the past few days and originally planned to pay off his debts, but who knew that he suddenly had the unexpected idea of purchasing dim sum ingredients.
He had to keep some money on hand in case the villagers came to sell things and he couldn't pay them.
Tao Zhu naturally had no objection to this.
The couple ate quickly. A three-pound hen, potatoes, noodles, and a large plate of chicken were all eaten by the two of them.
After dinner, the two continued to make shaqima and twists.
But from time to time, people still come to sell things.
It wasn't until after eight o'clock in the evening that no one came.
The couple locked the courtyard door, carried coins and snacks, and went to Zhao Mancang and Li Dazhong's house to pay off their debts.
After borrowing the two taels of silver for less than a year, Li Qiao paid back an extra hundred cents in interest, and also brought a pound of Shaqima and a pound of mahua.
Zhao Mancang didn't charge interest and insisted on letting him take it back, thinking he was too polite.
But Li Qiao is essentially a modern person. In his previous life, people could earn a small amount of money every day whether they put their money in a bank or a certain treasure. However, if a friend lent money to him, the friend would not be able to earn this much. A little money.
Therefore, if he borrows money, he will definitely pay it back with interest.
He was already grateful to his friends for helping him when he was in trouble, so how could he let his friends lose a small amount of money again.
Now that he has traveled through time, there is no bank or certain treasure here, but he still does this and insists on keeping the one hundred pennies.
After leaving Zhao Mancang's house, the couple went to Li Dazhong's house.
As Li Dao's eldest son, Li Dazhong lived with Li Dao and his wife. Li Dao's family members except Li Dazhong were opposed to Li Qiao's act of giving interest, while the rest of the family agreed.
Han Xiaoyan quickly collected the copper plate that Li Qiao handed over, fearing that Li Dazhong would return it to Li Qiao.
After carrying Shaqima and Mahua into the house, she sat down on the small bench with a smile and talked to Li Qiao.
"Li Qiao, I heard that you and Brother Zhu are already recruiting workers, so I have to reserve a position first. If you want to recruit workers again, you have to recruit me. If Dazhong hadn't lent you the money, all you have now is... …”
"shut up!"
Li Dazhong's face darkened, and he interrupted Han Xiaoyan sharply: "Xiaoqiao and Brother Zhu's business has just started. As a sister-in-law, you don't want to help, but you are busy taking advantage. How do you become a sister-in-law?!"
As soon as these words came out, Han Xiaoyan's face changed, and she replied without any sign of weakness: "Who took advantage?! Did I say I want to eat and drink for free? I'm here to work. Whoever he recruits is not a recruiter, so why not first?" Recruit me?!”
Li Dao on the side also advised: "Dazhong, your wife is right, it's not like Xiaoyan doesn't work. Don't you know how diligent she is?"
"She is so diligent!"
Li Dazhong glared at Han Xiaoyan, turned to Li Qiao and said: "Xiao Qiao, she has been blowing up that big flower these days. What she wants to do is like you..."
"you shut up!!!"
Now Han Xiaoyan's face changed drastically and she interrupted him. As she spoke, she got up from the bench and covered his mouth.
"Xiao Qiao, you and Brother Zhu leave quickly!"
Li Dazhong quickly urged Li Qiao and Tao Zhu to leave. His family would definitely be in trouble again, which would be embarrassing.
Li Qiao really didn't want to get involved in other people's disputes, even though the dispute had nothing to do with him. He said yes, said hello to Li Dao and his wife, and then quickly left Li Dazhong's house with Tao Zhu in hand.
Just a few steps away from Li Dazhong's house, Tao Zhu said worriedly: "It turns out that my sister-in-law is thinking about what Damahua does..."
"Don't worry, she's definitely not the only one thinking about this."
"...?"
Tao Zhushui's eyes widened.
"If it were you, if a snack shop in the county town had a snack that I loved very much, but it was very expensive and I couldn't bear to buy it often, would you try to make this snack yourself?"
Li Qiao asked with a smile.
"..."
Tao Zhu acquiesces.
He can.
"If you are willing to think about it for me, others will naturally think about it for various reasons. This is normal."
"Then what if someone really figures out how to do it?"
Tao Zhu's voice was dull.
He had never thought about this problem at first, but now that he thought about it, he was really panicking.
Feng Gao barely has a little technical content, but 80% of it cannot withstand the contemplation of the pastry chef.
As for Damahua, any person who knows how to cook will be able to figure out how to make it as long as they study hard.
The business that he thought he could continue for a long time ended up not being able to continue at any time?
"Don't be anxious. It's useless to be anxious. We can't stop others from studying."
Li Qiao grabbed his hand: "We just need to launch new snacks from time to time. As long as we launch new products fast enough, others will never be able to catch up with us."
