Two pots of garlic seedlings planted in Jiangzhi County.
It's not easy to eat green leafy vegetables in the winter, not to mention that Jiang Zhixian grew them himself. Li Qiao was surprised and immediately prepared to return the gift.
Jiang Zhixian made it clear that this was to thank him for bringing the people of Pingcheng to make money, so he didn't have to go to the county government to return the favor.
Jiang Zhixian said that there is no need to return the gift, but how can he really not return the gift?
The Zheng family's bacon was ready, but because the quantity was small, the Zheng family did not sell it and kept it all for themselves.
The Zheng family gave him dozens of kilograms of bacon, and he gave him the bacon as a gift in return, and of course, his family's snacks.
In order to celebrate the New Year, he made several new snacks, all of which are not available in Pingcheng, and he is definitely good at it.
He asked Xiao Wu to bring his New Year's gift to Jiangzhi County. Before leaving, he gave Xiao Wu a red envelope and a New Year's gift.
Xiaowu worked hard to carry food. In the winter, unless it snowed and the roads were blocked, he would come here every day no matter how cold it was.
Xiaowu was indispensable to the fact that he was able to earn his current fortune by relying on snacks.
Xiao Wu never expected that Li Qiao would prepare red envelopes and New Year gifts for him. He grabbed a heavy bag of money and a heavy box of snacks. His eyes were red with excitement.
He was eating and drinking at Li Qiao's place. This was a treatment that many people envied, and it was not hard at all.
But Li Qiao did not forget him. Based on this intention, he wished Li Qiao a fortune forever in his life!
By the afternoon, every household has prepared new year's goods.
According to tradition, the afternoon of the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month is a time for making dumplings and playing. The same is true for Li Qiao's family. This year he has a large family, so he will make more dumplings.
Because according to the custom in Pingcheng, no work can be done on the first day of the new year. They have to make enough dumplings for tonight and tomorrow morning.
The dumplings are divided into two kinds of fillings, one is pork and cabbage, and the other is tofu, fungus, and carrot.
Li Dashan was making dumplings while talking to Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao.
After these few days of getting along, he has become familiar with Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao, and the two children are no longer as reserved as when they first arrived.
"Zhao Di, Xiao Cao, why don't you two learn literacy from me? I have a lot of teaching experience. You cousins Ershan and Xiaoshan already know a dozen characters now, and I taught them all!"
"If you learn a few more words, it won't be so expensive for uncle to study."
During this period, he saw with his own eyes that Li Qiao spent hundreds of taels of money on studying, and he felt very distressed.
Now that he suddenly had a cousin, he couldn't wait to let them share Li Qiao's education expenses.
Li Qiao couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Zhao Di, Xiao Cao, although your cousin Dashan is not that good, he can indeed teach you. If you want to learn, then follow him to learn during the New Year."
After hearing this, Song Zhaodi immediately nodded her head: "Okay, I will learn from my brother."
Her mother said that she must listen to her fourth uncle.
Now that their fourth uncle wants them to learn, they must learn.
So, on the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Zhuang Wen came to Li Qiao to discuss knowledge, he was surprised by the rich learning atmosphere in Li Qiao's family.
Not only Song Zhaodi, Song Xiaocao, Li Ershan, Li Xiaoshan, and Li Xiaolan were writing on the ground with branches, but even Li Xia and Li Dong from Li Chunsheng's family were also writing with branches.
Of course, Zheng Qianqian is also there.
However, Zheng Qianqian and Li Chuntao got together and wrote big characters on the dining table with a brush.
As for Li Qiao, he was holding a copybook and teaching Tao Zhu his calligraphy skills.
He is a beginner, and so is Tao Zhu.
But his current writing skills are a little higher than Tao Zhu's, and he can be Tao Zhu's wife.
Beginners who practice writing do not necessarily have to copy copybooks with a brush. They can also first figure out the structure of the characters. For example, the character Tao is composed of two parts: "阝" and "阋".
When writing, the two parts must be written in the same size, and "阝" must be written first.
If you understand the structure of each character in this way, you will have a plan in mind when writing.
"Seeing this scene in your house, I, as a brother, am really ashamed."
Zhuang Wen couldn't help but said.
He has been studying for thirty years, but his banker has never had such a strong learning atmosphere!
Li Qiao smiled when he heard this: "My family is too poor. In order to share the cost of my education, everyone has to become literate."
"Your family is not poor now. You are the richest man in our village."
"No, no, no. Compared with your family, Brother Wen, my family's foundation is too weak. Now my family only has three acres of land."
Li Qiao didn't recognize the title of richest man.
"Even if it's not now, it will definitely be this year. Look at the atmosphere of making vermicelli in our village. Are you still far from the richest man?"
Zhuang Wen smiled.
The sweet potato workshop stopped working until six o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The workers who had been working in the sweet potato factory for three months were finally able to go home.
However, the workers are not willing to take more rest. They must seize this rare opportunity to make money, so starting from tomorrow, the sweet potato workshop will start work again.
The sweet potato workshop can now make about 1,500 kilograms of vermicelli a day. If a kilogram of vermicelli costs five cents, Li Qiao can earn more than seven thousand cents a day.
Coupled with his income from snacks and grilled sausages, he can earn more than twenty taels of silver a day. Is he still far from the richest man?
When Li Qiao heard this, the calculations in his heart began to rattle.
Indeed, based on the current income, if he does anything else, his income that year will exceed 10,000 taels.
Moreover, after the New Year, Jiang Zhixian’s term is almost over.
He had to get this done quickly.
After some hesitation and discussion with Tao Zhu, on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, when Li Shu was about to take Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao back to the old house after dinner, Li Qiao stopped her.
Li Qiao really didn't want to talk to her relatives about this, after all, business status would affect the next generation.
But if it were left to other people, he would really feel uneasy.
Moreover, Li Shu is currently without a queen, so after much deliberation, he approached Li Shu.
As long as Li Shu no longer marries and has children, even if she has two children, Song Zhaodi and Song Xiaocao, according to Dasheng law, she will still be childless.
If there are no descendants, it will naturally not affect the next generation.
In addition, Dasheng did not restrict women from doing business and women could own their own private property, so for a while he really couldn't find a more suitable candidate than Li Shu.
Through these few days of contact, he knew that Li Shu was now extremely obedient to him and was dedicated to his own good. Therefore, he emphasized the disadvantages of business registration many times so that Li Shu could think carefully after returning.
But Li Shu listened to his words and nodded directly without any hesitation.
"Even if I get married, I won't have children. I'm old, and having Zhaodi and Xiaocao is enough."
"It's related to your business. I wouldn't trust it if you leave it to others, so just leave it to me and I'll keep an eye on you."
She was so happy that she could really do something for her little brother Li Qiao.
Li Qiao complained that she killed her parents before, but she actually thought so too. Not only did she kill her parents, she also left her little brother without anyone to take care of her.
Now that she could do such an important thing for her little brother, she was so happy.
Li Qiao must leave this matter to her!

Chapter 65 Change the name, and the surrounding villages will become rich together Li Qiao’s problem-solving ideas
Although he could see Li Shu's determination, Li Qiao still asked her to think about it again.
It's the Chinese New Year and the government offices are closed, so Li Shu has time to think about it.
After seeing Li Shu off, Tao Zhu couldn't help but sigh, Li Qiao was a good brother, but Li Shu was also a good sister.
The contribution is mutual.
God is favoring him, and he has people like him who can give.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, according to custom, the married daughter and husband have to go back to their natal family to visit relatives. Of course, they can also visit other relatives.
His original grandparents fled to Sanliu Village, and only Li's mother died of famine in her family. Therefore, Li Qiao now has no relatives from his grandfather's generation, nor from his parents' generation. He No need to visit relatives.
But as Tao Zhu is a married man, he has a natal family.
He hesitated for a while, then picked up five kilograms of snacks and five kilograms of pork, and returned to Tao's house with Li Qiao.
Now that the Tao tree can no longer jump, Old Tao can only use a cane. He and the Tao family have reconciled a little bit.
Moreover, Li Qiao is now a scholar, and his reputation is the most important thing. Li Qiao has paid so much for his fellow villagers, and he cannot be caught with such a pigtail.
Tao Zhu had a good plan, but when he and Li Qiao arrived at Tao's house, they were greeted by Old Man Tao cursing, Lai Dongmei selling miserably and demanding money, and Old Mrs. Tao crying.
It was Chinese New Year, so Tao Zhu was too lazy to get angry and left with snacks and pork.
Old man Tao was leaning on a cane and wanted to chase him. Lai Dongmei and Mrs. Tao also chased him. Tao Shu responded slowly and sat in the yard blankly, not moving.
Tao Old Man, Tao Old Mrs. Lai Dongmei naturally failed to catch up.
When Tao Zhu and Li Qiao returned to Tao's house, countless villagers were watching. The villagers knew the Tao family's urinary properties and were always on guard.
Now Tao Old Man, Tao Old Lady, and Lai Dongmei were about to pull Tao Zhu and Li Qiao, and immediately more than a dozen villagers rushed over to stop them.
"You said that you want to eat meat but you still curse at Brother Zhu. Who wouldn't be angry?"
"That's right! Didn't you see that Liu Cui's family is all honest now? Are you the only one special?!"
"Isn't it just because you are Brother Zhu's parents? In fact, you are not worthy of being Brother Zhu's parents at all. You are not worthy of eating meat!"
"Brother Zhu is still filial. Although he is not treated as a human being by his parents, he is now willing to bring meat back. I have never seen such a filial person!"
"I haven't seen him either. Brother Zhu is the most filial and kind-hearted person I have ever seen."
