"What are you two talking about in the back? You haven't come back to eat for so long!"
Gu Daliang's daughter-in-law Li Cuicui stood at the door of Xu's courtyard. She was three months pregnant, but she couldn't tell.
To be honest, Xu Ling hasn't met many fat people since he came here.
Probably not enough to eat.
She suffered from severe morning sickness and would vomit whatever she ate.
At noon, Gu Daliang brought the cakes back and told her that there would be delicious food in the evening. Let's come to Xu's house to eat together. Although Li Cuicui was embarrassed, she heard her man say how expensive the cakes were and how fragrant the roasted chicken was. She wanted to vomit. Hold it back and wait for dinner at night.
Before Xu Ling went out, he specifically told his mother that the roasted chicken and braised pork she brought back would not be enough to keep, leaving some for his father-in-law to eat, and the rest would be brought to the dinner table tonight.
Steaming white rice and roasted bean porridge. There was a plate of roast chicken and a pot of cold pork head on the table. The pork head had been seasoned with chopped green onion and sesame oil. The aroma was so fragrant that it made people drool.
Cold wild vegetables, stir-fried tofu with young cabbage, and fish bought by Liu. The small fish are fried to a golden color, perfect for drinking wine. There is also steamed small yellow croaker, with few bones and fresh meat, which is most suitable for pregnant women.
Xu Ling's family didn't have a table, so this table was moved from Gu's family.
Seeing how rich the food was on the table, Xu Ling couldn't help but praise his mother: "Mom, I didn't know you had such good craftsmanship. My mouth is watering just looking at these dishes!"
It turns out that his mother’s nightmare-like cooking skills are just because of the lack of ingredients!
He originally wanted to flatter the horse, but unexpectedly he ended up flattering him on the horse's leg.
Mrs. Xu suddenly made a face and muttered: "This is not my cooking!"
Xu Ling was surprised and looked at Gu You who was covering her head. She pursed her lips and looked at her toes with vacant eyes.
Li Cuicui also smiled and said: "Xu Ling, don't you know, my little sister is very good at craftsmanship. She used to be busy in the kitchen at home!"
Xu Ling scratched his head, not expecting his mother to give up power in the kitchen so quickly and easily.
He quickly interrupted and asked Gu Daliang to sit down: "We are all members of our family. You are welcome. Please sit down and eat quickly."
Xu Ping and Xu An had already impatiently set up the tables, chairs, dishes, and chopsticks, waiting for the adults to sit at the table first.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "You men are eating and drinking, why should we women sit down? We can still eat in the kitchen with some dishes."
After saying that, he took Gu You and Li Cuicui to the kitchen. They were not dissatisfied because they could still eat anyway.
Xu Ling couldn't help but laugh. He never thought that one day he would see such bad habits again.
You must know that in her previous life, she was not allowed to eat at the table when she was a child.
"It's not necessary," Xu Ling shook his head and smiled, "We are all family members, why can't we sit and eat together? It doesn't matter for me and Brother Daliang to drink, you can just eat what you have!"
He forced Gu You to sit down, helped her take off the water cover from her body, and hung it aside and said: "Without women like you, no matter how powerful a man is, he would not be able to eat such a good meal. They are all the meritorious officials of this family. Why don’t we sit down and eat together?”
Xu Ling is the head of the family, so others naturally want to listen to what he says.
Seeing that he insisted on doing this, Mrs. Liu took Li Cuicui and sat down happily.
Li Cuicui is two years older than Gu Tao. She was married to the Gu family for more than two years and only got pregnant this year. She has a lively personality and has a good relationship with Gu Tao. Now that she can eat in peace, she curiously asked Gu Daliang, "Daliang, what were you two talking about on the road? You even praised Aling."
Gu Daliang hasn't spoken yet, he just keeps smiling.
Xu Ling explained for him: "I told Brother Daliang just now that we will make money with him in the future."
Li Cuicui's eyes shone, "You want to take him out with you?"
Xu Ling said, "Brother Daliang just needs to stay at home. You are at home. If he goes out, what will you do?"
This large family of old, weak, women and children always needs a man to look after them.
Li Cuicui was afraid that Gu Daliang would miss the opportunity to make money, so she hurriedly asked: "Then how can we bring him to make money together? If we had the opportunity to make a fortune, wouldn't we have become rich long ago?"
What she said made sense, but in Xu Ling's opinion, it was a little biased.
Lianhua Wanzi is located in a remote area. Although there is a large river flowing through it, it turns into a mountain and the current is very fast. Fishermen in the Wanzi often say that the river is very strange. From time to time, people are sucked into the whirlpool and die.
Therefore, there is no pier in Lianhuawanzi. The nearest pier is in Erfang Town, and the geographical location is not very good.
Further upstream are Qinghe Town and Lingbao Town. These two places have good terrain, deep boat drafts, and convenient and developed water transportation, so their economic development is relatively good.
From Xu Ling's point of view, the reason why Lianhuawanzi is poor is because it is too closed.
There are fish in Lianhua Bay, but they are sold as far as the town. But there are fish in the town. Even if the fishermen catch fish, it is at most a "side job" besides farming. Whether they make money or not depends on God's face.
The same goes for other things. The reason why Lianhua Wanzi is called Lianhua Wanzi is because there are ten miles of lotus ponds here. This time of year is the season for harvesting lotus roots and lotus seeds. Unfortunately, it is also because they cannot be transported out, so even if they are dug out, they cannot be sold. After getting the money, it was a waste of effort, and in the end he could only die in the river.
These problems were nothing to Xu Ling.
His survival in this era does not rely on any foresight or cleverness. His biggest reliance is the space on his body.
Although the space area is not large, farming is useless, and the spiritual spring has no special functions, but it is convenient for picking up and placing things, and it can be called a big truck for transporting things.
It doesn't weigh much yet.
This is simply a money-making tool!
Xu Ling was thinking about how to make money almost all the time. After thinking about it, she thought about the half-baked knowledge she learned in her previous life, the inferior time travel novels she read, glass making and soap making... She could only say that she knew a little bit.
Knows everything and is proficient in nothing.
Xu Ling sometimes lamented that he might be the worst time traveler.
However, she didn't do much in her previous life, so it's impossible for her to become awesome after time travel.
Being able to have space to be a golden finger is already an eye-opener from God.
So after much thought, Xu Ling set his sights on the lotus roots and seeds here.
In business, the simplest thing is to buy low and sell high.
As long as he buys the lotus roots and seeds from Lianhuawanzi at a low price, he can keep them fresh and transport them to other places, and sell them at a high price that is several times the profit.
Of course Xu Ling didn't reveal that he had space.
He just said a lot of unclear and harsh words to fool Gu Daliang into believing him.
After Xu Ling finished speaking his thoughts, everyone at the dinner table listened carefully while eating.
Li Cuicui was a little worried, and Mrs. Xu also had the same worry: "Sir, wouldn't you be very tired if you do this?"
He was running around alone, and when he got sick, he didn't even have anyone to take care of him. It was so miserable.
