Mo Ziyuan kept her word and talked to her second uncle Li Changyu about raising cattle that night.
"Second uncle." Mo Ziwan shouted with a smile after Li Changyu arrived at Mo's house.
"Why did you call me here?" Li Changyu asked.
"I miss my second uncle." Mo Ziwan joked.
After listening to her words, Li Changyu picked her up and said, "I blame my second uncle for not visiting my eldest niece every day despite being so close."
Mo Ziyuan was amused by his words, "Then I will punish my second uncle to come and see me every day from now on."
Li Changyu nodded and responded, "Okay!"
After some joking, Mo Ziyuan got down to the topic, "Second uncle, we have come up with a new food. This food still uses red potato starch, and it is used in large quantities, so in the future we will collect more red potatoes and grind more. of red sweet potato powder."
Li Changyu didn't even need to ask what it was. He grinned happily just when he heard that a new variety of vegetables had come out. He hurriedly responded and said, "Okay, I'll go home in two days and tell your uncle and uncle that they can Collect more red sweet potatoes and grind them back into powder."
"I no longer need my uncles to grind the flour. I will go to my godfather and ask him to buy a donkey to grind it. My uncles will just bring back more red potatoes." After that, production of red potato starch began, and we no longer relied on people. Grinding powder is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient, so buying a donkey is a must.
"Then use a donkey. Your uncle and I have plenty of energy. We don't need to buy a donkey. Isn't it a waste of money?" Li Changyu didn't agree with buying a donkey and grinding it out.
"Don't waste it. Not only can it be used for grinding, but it can also help camels with things. It's very practical." After talking about buying a donkey grinding mill, Mo Ziyuan continued, "In the future, more red potato powder will be used, and the red potato residue will also be used." There will be more, and it would be a pity to lose it. Why not raise a few more pigs, and also raise cattle. Cattle are more valuable than pigs, and they will definitely make less money in the future.
"Okay, let's raise a few more pigs, and we can share more money in the future." Just like Mo Ziyuan said, he also thought that it would be a pity if the red potato residue fell, so he agreed to raise a few more pigs.
"My godfather and I have never helped with raising pigs and cows, and we don't know how to raise them. It's all raised by my uncles, so the money earned from raising pigs and cows belongs to my uncles and they don't need to be divided."
Mo Ziyuan's plan was good, but Li Changyu felt that there was nothing wrong with everyone making money together. His niece was well-behaved, sensible, and smart. Working with her, their family felt at ease.
And Mr. Han, he is also easy to get along with. Everything is arranged clearly and clearly. They feel at ease following him.
Therefore, with such two people who reassured him, he didn't want to waste his time to go it alone. Therefore, after Mo Ziyuan told them to raise them by themselves, and the money earned from raising them would be theirs, Li Changyu, he He waved his hands hurriedly, "You are all scholars. It's normal that you don't know how to raise pigs and cows. From now on, your uncle and I will do these things. If you raise them, we will share the money earned. If you can't raise them, If so, take it as a lesson.”
How could Mo Ziyuan take advantage of them? They made much less money than she did. "Uncle, don't think about me. I have a shop in the county. The business of the shop is not bad. Besides, Brother Qingyuan and I I am still growing medicinal materials, and soon I can make money from medicinal materials, and I also have a book to share the money with, so I have my own separate income."
Then he talked about her godfather and godmother, "My godfather and godmother also have shops, fields, and other income at home. So uncles, after you raise pigs and cows, you can count as having your own separate business. In the future, you can Earn more money and buy some properties for each of your brothers and sisters."
Li Changyu always thought that he raised pigs and cattle for the sake of the workshop business, but now he said that all the money for raising pigs and cattle belongs to them. The honest Li Changyu always felt that he had taken a big advantage.
Thinking about it carefully, the workshop belongs to all of them, and the money earned is shared by everyone, but now that raising pigs and cattle is to be separated and counted separately, the money earned only belongs to their family. Li Changyu would rather eat some by himself. He was at a loss and didn't want to take advantage, so he refused: "Your business is yours. Raising pigs and cattle is for the workshop, and the red sweet potato residues we eat are also from the workshop. We have contributed manpower. How can we do everything in the future?" our."
Li Changyu
He refused, and how could Mo Ziwan give up the persuasion so easily, "My godfather and my godmother don't know how to raise pigs and cows. It's up to you, uncle, to decide how to raise them."
"Although the pigs and cows raised by my uncles will be sent to the workshop in the future, my godfather and I have no control over the raising process. It is your own work, so there is no reason to separate me and my godfather."
"Also, if there is a problem with the raising, the uncles will be responsible for it, so whether it is making money or losing money in the future, it will be their business."
"We just focus on things in the workshop and think of some new dishes.
Li Changyu knew that she deliberately said she would not make money to take care of her own face. The pigs at home are getting stronger and stronger now, and if they are waiting to be slaughtered in a few days, where will they lose? Knowing that she took money from raising pigs and cows to make herself feel at ease.
But he also had his persistence. No matter what Mo Ziyuan said that he should earn the money to raise pigs and cows alone, he still disapproved and said: "You are the one who started the workshop! Your uncle and I haven't contributed much yet." Well, you still divided the money with us."
He didn't take it to heart at all when Mo Ziwan said that they didn't work hard to raise pigs.
Mo Ziyuan shook her head, "The workshop is different. Although my uncles have not come to the workshop to work before, they are responsible for the production of red potato starch. This is an indispensable seasoning in our dishes, and grinding red potato starch is not light. To harvest a large amount of red potatoes, I have to work hard every day, and there is not much to do."
"So, the success of the workshop today is inseparable from the efforts of the uncles, so the money from the workshop should also be distributed to the uncles."
After talking for a long time, everything Mo Ziwan said was reasonable. Li Changyu, who couldn't convince his niece, finally had to say: "I'll go back and discuss it with your uncle and uncle in two days."
Mo Ziwan nodded, "Well, after the uncles have discussed it, they will find someone to buy a few cows and raise them first, and then raise more when they are mature."
When Li Changyu was planning to raise cattle, Song Nanzhi, Yu Silian and Chen Herong, after several days of repeated experiments, not only made jelly with a very smooth and tender texture, but also made wild rice jelly, which can be fried or mixed. .
Not to mention vermicelli, with the gourd scoop made by Mo Tingyu, the sweet potato starch noodles are put in a special scoop, and slowly leak out from the holes, like threads, and many strands leak out at a time , a big pot of vermicelli was ready in a short while.
When Han Shuxian went to Beijing with jelly, Li Changyu also returned home, ready to tell everyone about the cattle-raising plan mentioned by Mo Ziyuan.
The first person to look at Li Changyu was Li Linyu, "Dad." Li Linyu, who was playing on the roadside, shouted loudly and rushed towards him when he saw his father coming back.
"Son, do you miss your father?" Li Changyu asked after catching Li Linyu who was running over.
"I think, Mom said that dad went to make money, and when he earns back, he will have enough money to buy me delicious food." Li Linyu hugged his father's neck, looking forward to his father coming back to buy him delicious food.
"Dad has brought you some delicious food. I'll give it to you in a minute." He hugged Li Linyu and walked home, "Where are your father and uncle?"
"My father, uncle, and brother-in-law are all out. Grandma is at home, and so is my mother." Li Linyu answered.
"Okay, let's go back first."
Dong Biyu was very surprised that her second son came back at this time. There were still ten days before he could go home. "Why are you back?"
"I have something to discuss when I come back."
"What's going on?" Upon hearing that something was going on, Dong Biyu asked again.
"There's something new coming out of the workshop." After saying that, he put down his backpack and took out the jelly, "This is it, it's called jelly. Mix it up and eat it. It tastes cool and smooth, and it's delicious."
"What is this?"
Dong Biyu looked at the jelly wrapped in the vegetable leaves and couldn't tell what it was.
What if just anyone could figure it out? Isn’t this a few days of hard work in vain?
Dong Biyu couldn't guess, and Li Changyu didn't let her wait any longer, and just said it was made from red sweet potato powder.
After hearing that it was made from red sweet potato starch, she was even more surprised, "How was it made?"
When talking about how to make it, Li Changyu couldn't believe it. It was really too simple. "It's very simple." He looked around and saw that no one else was there, then he said with confidence, "Just mix the red potato with water. Then pour it into the pot, stir well, and wait for a while until it looks like this."
It's really simple. It made Dong Biyu think that the people in Lao Li's family are so stupid? Our family makes so much red sweet potato starch every day, but we can’t even think of a new way to eat it. It’s really a waste of making so much sweet potato starch.
"The jelly also requires a lot of red potato starch, and we will have to harvest a lot of red potato starch in the future. Wanwan said that we should raise more pigs and try raising a few cows to avoid wasting the red potato residue." He also said to his own mother, There is nothing to hide. I originally came back to discuss this matter with everyone, but now I just want to tell my mother first.
"Wanwan is smart and thinks carefully about everything. She said we should raise more, so we will raise a few more. Anyway, there are a lot of red sweet potato residues." Since grinding red sweet potato powder and working together in the workshop, the family's income has been More and more, she is now like Song Nanzhi, her granddaughter does whatever she says.
"I think so too, so I came back to discuss it with everyone first. Wanwan also said that when she earns more money in the future, she will buy some properties for her brothers and sisters."
Hearing these words made Dong Biyu even more emotional, "It's hard for her to think so much for us at such an old age."
I wonder what the family that lost her was like? I was reluctant to throw away such a good baby, but luckily my in-laws picked it up.
Li Changyu didn't know what her mother was thinking, so she responded to her mother's words: "No, I don't know how she can think so much."
"What do you think? It's not because Wanwan has been smart since she was a child and loves reading." When it comes to reading, Dong Biyu has another topic, "How is Lin Song?"
"He eats and drinks with Wan Wan every day, and Wan Wan teaches him personally. He can't be lazy even if he wants to. Last time he took the test, he got an A. He's doing very well now." Seeing my eldest nephew studying. Well, he was becoming more and more independent in what he said and did. Li Changyu wished that his baby would grow up overnight, so that he could send his son to study with Wan Wan.
"That's good. His parents are not around. If something happens, you should be more concerned as an uncle." Dong Biyu warned.
"Don't worry, he will be fine even if I don't take care of him." Then he said, "Where are dad and brother? I'll go find them."
"You should take a breath first. It will be noon soon and they will be back soon." Dong Biyu came back because she felt sorry for her son and wanted him to rest for a while so as not to be tired from running around.
"It's just a few steps, it's not tiring!" But then he said, "Listen, it's almost noon, I'll take a rest first, and when they come back, we can eat and talk slowly."
There was no rest at all. Starting from making red sweet potato noodles, fifteen pigs and thirty ducks were added to the family one after another. For these dozen pigs and thirty ducks, Dong Biyu would not stop every day. Not to mention grinding the red potato starch every day, someone has to do the work in the fields.
In short, there is no idle person at home.
Not only was she not idle, but Li Linyu would sometimes help pass things over or run errands.
Therefore, when Li Changyu returned home, he knew that there was a lot to do at home, so he went straight to find something to do without Dong Biyu saying anything.
