…
The villagers under the willow trees have heartfelt smiles on their faces.
Except for Tao Shu's family and Li Qiao's family, the rest of Sanliu Village is more or less planted with corn.
In the past, this corn could only be kept for home consumption, but now it can be sold for money.
Even if it costs three cents per catty, it is still an income.
Better than nothing.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Zhuang Fengshou stood on the table and waved his hand to let everyone listen to him first.
As soon as he spoke, the villagers immediately fell silent and looked at him with expectations on their faces. Is it time to draw lots next?
"Before drawing lots, I have something to say to everyone. Li Qiao worked hard to pull this business, so, just like Mai Lian, every villager who goes to Wangyue Tower to sell corn must remember Li Qiao's My whole heart must bear Li Qiao’s love.”
"In the future, if Li Qiao's family encounters difficulties, for example, someone makes trouble, or there are rumors related to Li Qiao in the village, I hope everyone can stand up and help Li Qiao."
Don't be like what happened last time when Tao Shu and Li Mo pulled Xiao Wu. Li Qiao had to take the initiative to speak and give practical benefits before someone rushed out to rescue Li Qiao.
Of course, Zhuang Fengshou did not say the last sentence out of consideration for everyone's face.
But everyone here understands.
Last time it was because some people ran slower, so the benefits given by Li Qiao fell into the hands of Wang Xiuying.
Don't think it's a small amount of money. If you accumulate it over time, it's a lot of money.
Unexpectedly, since Wang Xiuying gained this income, she has had more smiles on her face.
You can get eight copper coins just by carrying water in the morning.
Let your child collect firewood, and you can exchange it for several copper coins.
At the end of the day, there were more than ten copper coins.
I can earn more than ten copper coins every day. Who wouldn't be happy about this?
If it were them, they would be able to smile with bared teeth every day!
Therefore, when Zhuang Fengshou finished speaking, the people who had fallen behind Wang Xiuying last time because they wanted to be reserved immediately responded: "Village chief, don't worry, we guys will never forget what Li Qiao has done for the villagers."
Some people even directly named them: "That's right, if people like Tao Shu, Han Xiaoyan, and Zhao Erniu come to Li Qiao's house to cause trouble in the future, let alone ask Li Qiao to do something, Li Qiao doesn't even need to move his mouth, as long as we see him , then we must rush forward and stop him!"
Li Dao: "?"
His face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Liu Cui and Li Shu also looked ugly.
However, thinking of the corn at home, they gritted their teeth and endured it.
Li Qiao had made it clear before that they were not allowed to go to Li Qiao's house to sell dried wood, eggs and other items. Now that Li Qiao had not specifically excluded them regarding corn, they should keep a low profile at this time.
Otherwise, with Li Qiao's cold-bloodedness, he would definitely kick them out.
Although you don’t make much money selling corn, it is still money.
These best people bowed their heads for money and did not stand up to refute the words of the villagers and Zhuang Fengshou, so the rest would naturally go smoothly.
Zhuang Fengshou had already written the numbers on the paper. Each villager came forward and took a folded paper ball. The number written on the paper ball was the order in which they went to Wangyue Tower to sell corn.
Wangyuelou's business is a long-term business, and the corn needed for corn juice, corn roasting, and corn and pork dumplings does not necessarily have to be young corn at this time.
So you guys don't have to rush, panic, or fight, you just need to wait calmly according to the number you drew.
*
The author has something to say:
As for dumplings, such as the quick-frozen dumplings of Sanquan and Missing, you can really eat so many, because when I was a girl with the largest appetite, I could eat two kilograms in one meal... Of course, I can't eat it now!
Chapter 56 You will definitely be admitted as a scholar. Tao Zhu works hard to improve himself.
However, Wangyuelou's daily consumption of corn is limited, but Sanliu Village is a large village with many people.
Therefore, shopkeeper Wang and Zhuang Fengshou discussed it and each household would only provide corn to Wangyue Tower for five days, and then they would change to the next household.
In this way, every villager can exchange their corn for copper coins earlier.
Everyone in the village agrees with this approach.
Especially for villagers with lower numbers, if the people at the front have to sell out all their corn before it can be their turn to those at the back, then they will really have to wait in a panic.
This is a good idea!
Of course, this method is unfair, because young corn is more expensive than old corn, costing a penny per corn. And old corn kernels cost three cents a pound.
But there is no way, who made them unlucky enough to draw the numbers at the back? The villagers at the back can only admit that they are unlucky.
Soon, everyone dispersed.
The one who drew number one was Zhang Gui'e. She happily led Zhuang Fengsheng, shopkeeper Wang, and Li Qiao back home. She called her old man and son to push the cart, bring sacks, and then went to the cornfield to break the corn. .
Although Wangyue Tower is the largest restaurant in Pingcheng, and its business is better than before, the county town at this time is incomparable to the county town with hundreds of thousands or even millions of people in Li Qiao's previous life. Therefore, Wangyue Tower consumes 100,000 yuan a day. According to the situation yesterday, there are about a hundred corns.
It was the season for young corn to be on the market. Shopkeeper Wang specially asked people to go to the street to buy the young corn instead of the old corn from last year.
Of course, Shopkeeper Wang has just launched three new corn dishes, and not many people know about them. After some time, these three dishes spread, and the amount of corn consumed every day will definitely increase.
But for now, let’s cut it some slack.
Break off three hundred tender corns, uniform in size, each one costs one penny, and three hundred stalks are worth three hundred pence.
Shopkeeper Wang settled the bill immediately. Zhang Gui'e grabbed the string of copper plates and smiled from ear to ear.
The extra money spent on selling it saves trouble!
Li Qiao was such a good person. She put the extra twenty corns into sacks and insisted that Li Qiao take them home.
Without Li Qiao, there would be no three hundred coins today. I must thank Li Qiao.
"I heard that Brother Zhu likes to eat this. Take it back and let Brother Zhu eat it. Don't give me money. This is a thank you gift that my family should give."
"That's right, Li Qiao, you must take it. Don't give money." Zhang Gui'e's son Li Zhuangzi also advised.
"Old lady, the corn cobs are so heavy. You don't need Li Qiao to carry them. Let the stakes be delivered directly to Li Qiao's house."
Zhang Gui'e's old man Li Yougen spoke.
Hearing this, Li Zhuangzi quickly took the sack from Zhang Gui'e, put it on his back and walked along the country road towards the village.
"I'll send it to Li Qiao's house right now!"
Li Qiao: "..."
Forget it, since Zhang Gui'e's family really wanted to thank him, he wouldn't give in.
At this time, the sun had set, Zhang Gui'e and his family went home, while Li Qiao and shopkeeper Wang went to the banker's house for dinner.
However, thinking that there was still some roast duck at home that he had not finished eating at noon, he made a special trip home and took a roast duck to the banker.
Shopkeeper Wang Yuyan. I tasted the roast duck and was very excited.
The food that Li Qiao whipped up was not inferior to his Wangyuelou chef at all, and the cooking method was still fresh.
If Li Qiao goes to Wangyue Tower to work as a chef, then the business of Wangyue Tower will definitely double what it is now.
Of course, this is a joke.
Moreover, the chef at Wangyuelou has limited energy and does not have an oven, so he cannot cook roast duck.
Shopkeeper Wang took a rest, but Li Qiao smiled and talked to him about ducks.
"Shopkeeper, how many ducks can Wangyuelou consume every day?" Li Qiao said and gave Shopkeeper Wang a piece of fried chicken.
This chicken nugget was fried by Li Ping. The chicken was cut into thin slices and only coated with a layer of egg liquid. It was quite delicious when fried.
"In one day, I consume about ten chickens." Shopkeeper Wang replied while chewing chicken nuggets.
People here in Pingcheng prefer to eat chicken and eggs, but the market for duck is average.
"How are things like duck neck, duck intestines and duck gizzards processed?" Li Qiao continued to ask.
"The duck neck is naturally cooked along with the whole duck. As for the duck intestines and gizzards, they can be made into stir-fried duck offal. What? Xiao Li, are you interested in these?"
Shopkeeper Wang asked curiously.
The banker's man at the dinner table also looked at Li Qiao curiously.
Li Qiao smiled and nodded: "I'm very interested, especially the duck neck. How about asking Brother Xiaowu to bring me the duck neck? Shopkeeper, just look at the price."
"It's just a duck neck, not much meat, not worth much. Since you like this, I'll have someone stay here specially from now on, and let Xiao Wu bring it to you every day."
Shopkeeper Wang waved his hand nonchalantly.
He has been running the store for so many years, but he has never met a customer who loves to chew duck necks.
Even if you encounter it in the future, if you explain it in advance and charge a few cents less, I hope the diners will not care about the duck neck.
But as long as Xiao Li wants duck neck, he will definitely try new tricks, and he can't miss it.
So he smiled again and said: "Ask Xiao Wu to bring me two of the duck necks you made. I want to learn more about them."
"It's natural. Brother Xiaowu will be brought there when the time comes. I'd like to thank the shopkeeper and Brother Xiaowu first."
Li Qiao picked up the wine glass and toasted to shopkeeper Wang.
"Xiao Li, you're welcome." Shopkeeper Wang also picked up the wine glass.
The two of them clinked glasses with smiles, both very happy.
From then on, Li Qiao's duck neck was restored. There were only three duck necks at noon today, but there were four people in his family. No one could get enough of them and could only taste them.
Shopkeeper Wang is looking forward to Li Qiao giving him a new surprise.
When Li Qiao returned home, Tao Zhu was sitting by the oil lamp sewing clothes with needle and thread.
In autumn, the weather changes at any time, so he has to prepare thick autumn and winter clothes in advance.
