There was joy in his voice: "The barbecue ingredients you make are becoming more and more profitable. The money that Shopkeeper Wang distributed to us has increased from eight cents on the first day to one hundred and thirty-five cents now."
"There will definitely be more in the future." Li Qiao was very confident.
Now is a good season for barbecue. The evening breeze is not as hot as last month and is slightly cool.
In the comfortable night breeze, drinking wine and eating delicious barbecue with friends, whoever eats knows that comfortable feeling.
"Um!"
Tao Zhu was also confident that nothing Li Qiao could produce was bad.
However, compared to Qingtuan, barbecue is slower in earning money after all.
Thinking of his new home behind his yard, he tapped his forehead with a brush and couldn't help but ask Li Qiao: "Don't we really make more green dumplings stuffed with egg yolk and meat floss?"
"No, it's just right now." Li Qiao said, sitting down by the bed and urging him: "Go and wash up quickly. I'm going to town tomorrow and have to get up early. Let's go to bed quickly."
He emphasized the pronunciation of the word sleep.
"...Okay." Tao Zhu understood and immediately put down the brush.
Hey, I really can't bear to miss this kind of thing for one night.
After a happy night, the next day, Li Qiao was about to go out at night, but there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.
"Li Qiao! Tao Zhu! Open the door! Open the door for me!"
"...Tao Shu is here?" Tao Zhu was a little surprised and walked towards the door.
He hadn't even gone to Tao Shu to settle the score, but Tao Shu came over on his own initiative?
Judging from the banging on the door, he was quite angry.
Tao Shu was really angry. He finally found a business opportunity and asked Gao Zhiyuan to help him sell bookshelves. As a result, the bookmaker actually started this business too!
Zhuang Wen, a scholar, even sold bookshelves in his private school, and his bookshelves were stronger and better looking.
He promoted the bookshelf that had not been sold for half a month. Zhuang Wen sold one in two days and three in six days!
This suddenly blocked his way of making money, and he angrily went to Zhuang Wen to argue. Even though Zhuang Wen didn't get admitted as a scholar, he was very good at fighting him.
He didn't get any advantage from Zhuang Wen. When he went back and thought about it carefully with Lai Dongmei, they felt that the problem was Li Qiao.
As a small landowner, the banker had no shortage of food and drink, but he suddenly started doing business. This must have been instigated by Li Qiao!
So, Tao Shu came to Li Qiao angrily, forcing him to die!
If Li Qiao really didn't want him to live, then he would have crashed to death in Li Qiao's house today!
After Li Qiao and Tao Zhu heard Tao Shu's yelling, the couple looked at each other. Then Li Qiao took a step back and extended his hand to Tao Zhu in a gesture of invitation.
Brother Zhu had wanted to beat Tao Shu for a long time, but now Tao Shu took the initiative to come forward and made room for Brother Zhu to do his best.
So, Tao Shu came in a fierce manner, and then left screaming. When he left, it didn't affect Li Qiao at all from going to Zheng's house to meet Butcher Zheng.
Today Li Qiao went to town for business. He heard from Butcher Zheng that there was a family in the town who wanted to sell an ox cart, and the price was quite right. But his family was building a house now and needed ox carts everywhere, so he wanted to Go to town and have a look.
Li Qiao came back at noon. When he went there, he went in the Zheng family's ox cart, and when he came back, he came back in his own ox cart.
An ox-cart was 80% new, and the oxen and cart were worth eighteen taels of silver in total.
As soon as he bought the bullock cart, he and Tao Zhu's money box became empty again.
However, in the future, there is no need to borrow an ox cart or walk on foot to go to the county seat.
Moreover, it can be used whether it is building a house, transporting building materials, or growing crops.
Tao Zhu was so happy that he first circled the oxcart twice, and then looked at Li Qiao with bright eyes: "Will you leave it at our house tonight? Just for one night!"
The smell of livestock is strong. His family makes snacks and is not suitable for raising livestock, so he agreed before buying the ox cart that the cart will be temporarily placed at Li Gu's house until his new house is built. It will be used for the current yard. Come and herd the bullock cart.
However, he was so happy that he couldn't help but make such a willful request.
Having experienced the pain of transporting wheat, corn and other heavy objects on a cart, and treating him like an animal, he really couldn't refuse such an ox cart!
Li Qiao looked into Tao Zhu's eyes and nodded slightly. He remembered Tao Zhu that he saw the night he sent the fish.
How could he refuse.

The author has something to say:
From then on, the couple also had a car and a house!
Chapter 53 The dealer splits the money. Where is the floss?
Li Qiao will never forget Tao Zhu that night.
He is obviously a young man, but he is doing hard work. His thin and slender body is in sharp contrast to the tall piles of wheat on the cart behind him.
However, the scene he saw often happened when he didn't see it.
Even though he is now married to Tao Zhu and knows that Tao Zhu is doing well, he still can't help but feel sorry for him every time he thinks of that scene.
Therefore, at this moment, facing Tao Zhu's shining eyes, he smiled and said: "Don't say it's just one night, three nights is fine."
"No, it'll be fine in one night." Tao Zhu shook his head. Although he was happy, family business was still important.
In fact, he and Li Qiao had no plans to buy an ox cart at this time. They had just bought a cart and their family only had three acres of farmland. The cattle were not a necessity for them.
Moreover, their family now earns a day's worth of money to buy a day's worth of building materials, and they don't have much silver in hand.
But Butcher Zheng mentioned it and said that a family in the town wanted to sell an ox cart and the price was quite reasonable, so he was moved.
His idea is simple. For his family, the bullock cart is indeed not a must-buy.
But it is true that I have to buy it sooner or later.
So he asked Li Qiao to go to the town to have a look.
Who would have thought that after seeing this, I immediately bought it.
The lifespan of such cattle in the countryside is generally more than ten years, but the cattle Li Qiao bought is less than two years old, and is still considered a teenager among cattle.
At this time, he looked at the calf's big, gentle and harmless eyes, and then touched its smooth fur. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
"I'm going to get some corn kernels to feed it."
"Go." Li Qiao nodded with a smile.
Although cattle are big items in the countryside, most people feed cattle with grass and hay. Only a few families occasionally feed cattle with grains.
For example, in Sanliu Village, wheat straw and corn straw are generally used as feed.
Tao Zhu, who was used to being frugal, couldn't find wheat or corn stalks at this moment. He directly brought half a basket of corn kernels and placed it in front of the calf: "Eat it."
As he spoke, he reached out and patted the calf gently on the back, with a smile on his face.
The calf felt Tao Zhu's kindness. It glanced at Tao Zhu with its two big ox eyes, and then lowered its head to eat the corn kernels in the basket. It didn't feel uncomfortable as if it was a new arrival in a strange place.
Tao Zhu was pleasantly surprised: "It's so well-behaved."
As he spoke, he patted the calf's head gently: "I'll call you little boy from now on."
Li Qiao: "..."
He couldn't laugh at this scene: "Brother Zhu, the expression you look at it is almost as gentle as when you look at me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tao Zhu glanced at Li Qiao with a funny look: "From now on, it will do all the heavy work and tiring work in our family, and it is still a child and has such an honest and well-behaved temperament. We should treat it better. of."
Speaking of this, Tao Zhu looked at Mavericks with even gentler eyes.
"When you went to sell fish before, you could only push a trolley to sell fish weighing more than three hundred kilograms. You will never have to suffer this fate again."
Li Qiao: "..."
It turns out that Brother Zhu is so gentle to Mavericks because of him.
He felt comfortable and laughed again: "You are good-looking, so you are right, we will call him Xiaoguai from now on."
"...Go and eat quickly." Tao Zhu didn't expect that this would also affect his good looks. He was stunned for a second, and then the smile on his face widened.
Who doesn’t like his sweetheart to praise him for his good looks every day?
"Okay~" Li Qiao responded, the end of which was a little rippled by the bright smile on Tao Zhu's face.
Actually, you can't blame Brother Zhu for looking at Mavericks with tender eyes. Who makes Brother Zhu look good-looking? A beautiful person looks at everything with affection.
If you want to blame him, just blame him for finding such a good-looking husband!
Li Qiao happily entered the kitchen, where his lunch was placed in the big pot:
Rice with braised pork.
There is also a bowl of rice rolls.
Sanliu Village mainly eats pasta, and Li Qiao also likes to eat pasta, but after eating too much pasta, he sometimes misses rice, so he specially bought a bag of rice and taught Li Chuntao how to make braised pork.
At this time, the fragrant rice paired with the oily braised pork made his stomach growl.
Of course, the rice rolls are also good. Paired with the braised pork sauce, the taste is amazing.
Li Qiao doesn't pay attention to whether what he eats is authentic or not. He always mixes whatever he likes, as long as it tastes good, that's all.
He finished a small bowl of rice, a large bowl of braised pork, and a large bowl of rice rolls quickly. His stomach was full and he felt sleepy.
When Tao Zhu entered the kitchen, he happened to see him yawning and said, "Go and take a nap. Don't worry about business."
Since Li Chuntao took over the preliminary work of making snacks, the couple have a lot more time, and they no longer have to be reluctant to rest for a moment like before.
"No, Tao Shu, a scoundrel, actually went to make trouble with Zhuang Wen. I want to go to Zhuang Wen's house to have a look." Li Qiao said.
"Hmm... That's fine. Tell Brother Wu that if Tao Shu dares to go to the banker to cause trouble, then call me and let me beat him."
Tao Zhu nodded.
"Okay, Brother Zhu is the most powerful, the nemesis of Tao Shu." Li Qiao gave a thumbs up.
However, with Tao Shu's temperament, he will definitely come to harass Tao Zhu when there is no food to eat. Well... then let's create an accident and make Tao Shu lie in bed like old man Tao, unable to get up.
In that case, he wouldn't mind spending money to hire people to take care of Tao Shu. Quan should spend money to buy purity and reputation.
