In the private room, Baiyou stood by the window, looking at the people walking on the street with a bored expression. He stood lazily. He didn't look very beautiful, but his eyes seemed to talk, which made people look at him. memorable.
"Oh, Mr. Bai, rare visitor, rare visitor."
The voice arrived before shopkeeper Wang arrived.
With these words, the door of the elegant room was pushed open, and shopkeeper Wang walked in.
Baiyou turned to look at Shopkeeper Wang and chuckled: "It's been a while since I've been here. Yesterday, my third sister went to Miss Wu's small banquet and tasted a snack called Qingtuan. She praised it so much that I Come and take a look today.”
"That's it! Then you're in luck. In the past, Qingtuan only had bean paste as a flavor, but today it has egg yolk and pork floss. It tastes very delicious. You must try it."
"Egg yolk meat floss?" Baiyou raised an eyebrow.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and personally brought two plates of Qingtuan balls over.
Four each of bean paste and egg yolk meat floss.
Baiyou is a native of Pingcheng. Although he married in Fucheng, he has never seen Qingtuan, a snack eaten during Qingming Festival in the Jiangnan area, in Fucheng.
At this time, looking at the big round dumplings, he picked up one and took a tentative bite. After only two chews, his beautiful eyes lit up.
The texture of this glutinous rice dumpling is somewhat similar to the glutinous rice balls he has eaten.
But it is different from glutinous rice balls because it contains mugwort and the filling is not as sweet as glutinous rice balls.
Although glutinous rice balls are delicious, they can only be eaten hot with a spoon, but this one he can hold with his hands and chew slowly.
he likes!
After finishing one with bean paste filling, he went to get another with egg yolk and meat floss.
If Shopkeeper Wang is like that, he would also prefer egg yolk and meat floss, and glutinous snacks. He has only eaten glutinous rice balls and eight-treasure rice.
But both of them are sweet, so he always thought that glutinous rice should be sweet.
But now the glutinous rice is paired with this filling called egg yolk and meat floss. Not only is the texture not strange, but it makes him unable to stop.
Nuojiji turns out to be sweet or salty, delicious!
After swallowing the whole Qingtuan, he looked at Shopkeeper Wang with a smile: "It is indeed extraordinary. No wonder my third sister is so praised. Is this Qingtuan available every day?"
"Yes, they are available every day, but the quantity is limited, only three hundred. If they are sold out, you have to wait until the next day."
Shopkeeper Wang replied with a smile.
"Then wrap them up, ten for bean paste and twenty for egg yolk and meat floss."
Baiyou said.
"Okay. In addition to Qingtuan, the shop also has Feng Gao, peach cakes, and fried sausages. Why don't you try them too?"
Shopkeeper Wang quickly promoted others.
Even though Baiyou's father was just a lecturer at Zhengxin Academy, his mother's family was a big landowner in Peishui County next to Pingcheng.
Baiyou's father's dowry back then was extremely generous, with thousands of acres of farmland alone. Later, when his father passed away, all the dowry went to Baiyou, so Baiyou was not short of money.
Bai You heard this and said, "Then let's have a taste."
However, when the Shaqima, peach cakes, and fried sausages were all served, he said they were delicious, but not as good as Qingtuan.
That glutinous texture is unbeatable!
When Shopkeeper Wang saw this, he could only give up the idea of selling the sausages. Forget it, who doesn't love Baiyou very much?
However, it’s good to love the Youth League.
The green dumpling stuffed with egg yolk and meat floss was purchased for 40 cents a piece. Well, let's sell it for 88 cents a piece.
Exclusively for the rich.
Soon, Baiyou and Qingtuan left with satisfaction.
So shopkeeper Wang went downstairs and sold green dumplings stuffed with egg yolk and meat floss to the maids and servants of other wealthy families.
Among these people, not only Qingtuan sells well, but fried sausages also sell well.
When these people urged him, Shopkeeper Wang sighed and began to talk about his difficulties.
Starting tomorrow, the fried sausages will have sheep casings.
If the ladies from each family couldn't get used to it, then he really had no choice, because all the pig intestines had been bought by Zui Xianju.
"Ah? Is there such a thing?"
"What if my young lady can't get used to it? Wouldn't I have to come earlier in the future to buy it?"
"Me too! My young master has been unable to smell the mutton smell since he was a child. Shopkeeper Wang, you have to separate the two kinds of sausages!"
"Ah! Zuixianju is too annoying, isn't it?"
"Malicious competition!"
…
After hearing what Shopkeeper Wang said, these maids and servants were first surprised, and then started to cry and worry.
Shopkeeper Wang looked at this scene and felt satisfied. The first step of applying eye drops was a success.
If Zui Xianju cannot make sausages with the same taste in the next few days, the rich people who cannot eat delicious food will definitely go to shopkeeper Zhao to chat.
While shopkeeper Wang was busy fighting back, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu began to prepare for building a new house.
There are no professional construction teams in this world. When villagers build houses on weekdays, they always ask villagers for help.
These days, no one in Sanliu Village is a craftsman. Regardless of men, women, old or young, in Sanliu Village, except for rotten people like the original person and Tao Shu and his wife, the rest are basically all-powerful.
However, Li Qiao plans to build a house with blue bricks and tiles this time. The technical requirements are higher than building adobe walls, so he needs to find a professional plasterer.
So he went to Zhuang Fengshou to find out yesterday. There were no professional plasterers in Sanliu Village, but there were in Zhujia Village. When the Zhuang family built their house, they found an old plasterer from Zhujia Village.
Li Qiao went to Zhujiacun and found the old mason named Zhu. After the negotiation was completed, the next step was to buy bricks and wood.
They had to go to the county town to buy these, so while Li Qiao was heading to the county town, Tao Zhu took a shovel to clean up the weeds in the open space behind his house.
A passing villager saw it and found it strange, so he asked.
Tao Zhu replied with a smile on his face: "We are going to build a house."
These five words spread throughout Sanliu Village before night.
Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are going to build a new house!
Moreover, this couple did not overthrow the existing yard, they bought land and wanted to build a new large yard!
So rich!
This was almost the first reaction of everyone in the village when they heard this.
Li Qiao had just bought three acres of prime farmland, which cost him ninety taels of silver.
To build such a big yard, it would cost at least dozens of taels, right?
Li Qiao’s business is extremely profitable!
After sighing, I feel excited.
Building a house definitely requires hiring people. Li Qiao hired Chen Tiezhu and Wang Xiuying to grow sweet potatoes and paid such high wages, so the wages for building a house will definitely not be low.
Thirty cents a day, plus a three-cent meal allowance, if this covers half a month, you can earn 500 cents without leaving home.
Happy!
At Li Dazhong's house, while Han Xiaoyan was feeding her daughter noodle soup, she squinted at Li Dazhong who was squatting at the door of the kitchen.
Li Dazhong held a cornmeal bun in one hand and a clay bowl in the other. In the bowl was green onions and green peppers. The green onions and green peppers were only sprinkled with salt and not even a drop of sesame oil.
In order to treat Zhao Erniu, the family spent a lot of money these days, so the food supply has dropped drastically. In the past, it was mainly wheat, supplemented by miscellaneous grains, but now it is mainly miscellaneous grains. Wheat flour and other fine grains only feed the two children and the wounded. Zhao Erniu can eat it.
Han Xiaoyan glanced at Li Dazhong, one after another, but she did not dare to say a word until her daughter was fed.
The last time Li Dazhong had to drive her back to her parents' home, she was very angry at that time and felt that she had lost face, so she put down her harsh words. She would never go back unless Li Dazhong knelt down and begged her to go back.
At that time, she thought that there were two children at home who couldn't live without her, and she and Li Dazhong had only been married for a few years, and Li Dazhong made trouble for her at night.
Therefore, she felt that she was very worried about Li Dazhong, so she said that.
But who knew, after waiting for one day, Li Dazhong was nowhere to be seen, after waiting for five days, Li Dazhong was nowhere to be found, and after waiting for ten days, Li Dazhong was nowhere to be seen!
Li Dazhong was nowhere to be seen, but her mother's family had problems with her.
The daughters-in-law of her two brothers saw that her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not a nose, and they thought she was incompetent. Although she was so kind to Li Qiao, she didn't get any advantage and was even kicked back to her parents' home!
Why are you staying at your parents' house and eating free food? Go back to Li Dazhong and let Li Qiao lead them to make money!
Not only did her two sisters-in-law look down on her, but her parents also advised her to come back quickly and bow to Li Dazhong.
Seeing that she refused to bow her head, she arranged a lot of work at home and in the fields, so that she was actually more tired at her parents' house than at her husband's house.
It just so happened that Chen Tiezhu and Wang Xiaoya returned to their parents' home - Wang Xiaoya and she were from the same village.
She quickly took the couple to inquire about Li Dazhong's situation.
Li Dazhong's family is doing pretty well at the moment.
Zhao Erniu's recovery from her injury is slow, but she is still recovering. It is still difficult to speak, but she can do housework and take care of the children.
It is not a busy farming period right now, and the work in the fields can only be handled by Li Dazhong and Li Dao, their father and son.
Therefore, Li Dazhong's family can still live a small life.
It just doesn’t have a good reputation.
Now when people in the village mention Zhao Erniu, they feel that she has been punished by God, and everyone is unwilling to get too close to her, lest she also be punished by God.
After hearing what Chen Tiezhu said, her heart felt really cold. It felt like she was in the cold winter in the middle of summer.
She was gone, and something happened to Zhao Erniu, but that family was not in chaos?
What's more important is that Li Dazhong showed no sign of coming to look for her!
Panicked, she was completely panicked now.
So, when her parents urged her again, she came back in despair.
She came back on her own initiative. Li Dao and Zhao Erniu, including their two children, were very happy. Li Dao and Zhao Erniu were happy that their work could finally become easier.
