Li Changting was silent for a while and sighed: "now it seems that I have delayed you."
Xu Qing said, "don't say that. If you didn't give me money, I couldn't have done business so soon. There are still many places to rely on you in the future."
Li Changting offered her not only money, but also a sense of security and home.
With a sense of security, Xu Qing can do a lot of things.
With the help of her family, she felt relaxed and happy.
If she had set up her own house and had nothing to do with her eyes, she would have had several times harder life than now.
Cao Laoliu has no other carpentry work in hand recently. He has come to make moon cakes and mung bean cake models for Xu Qing. Xu Qing has drawn many patterns before, and it will take him a long time to finish them.
Li Jinmei and Cao Laoliu are "working" here in Xuqing. They have saved a lot of money for Xuqing. They have agreed to give Li Jinmei a salary of one or two for every ten taels of silver they earn, and Cao Laoliu's molds are calculated separately.
Li Jinmei didn't want to. After all, she just helped with the chores. She didn't buy the materials and she didn't make the moon cakes. How could she charge so much money.
But Xu Qing insisted, and she couldn't help it.
Li Jinmei calculated that except the cost, Xu Qing could earn at least 17 or 8 liang of silver a day, while she could earn more than 12 liang of silver a day, which she did not dare to think of before! It's only three dollars in a month!
Although we make a lot of money, hard work is really hard work.
One hundred and twenty moon cakes with thin skin and big stuffing have to be prepared for most of the day.
Li Jinmei sees Xu Qing coming out with a big wooden box and asks curiously what's inside.
Xu Qing said with a mysterious smile: "this is a baby!"
Opening the sealed wooden box, Li Jinmei saw a large golden thing inside: "is this a snack?"
Xu Qingxiao: "this is butter, an oil product extracted from milk. I'm lucky to buy it!"
Xu Qingwan did not expect that there would be butter here!
When she went to town a few days ago, she saw two people dressed up as foreigners setting up stalls to sell some of their local specialties. Many people like exotic things, and the beef jerky with unique flavor sold out in an instant.
There was only a bucket of butter, because no one had ever eaten it and didn't like the smell, so no one bought it, so Xu Qing picked it up cheap!
The butter has an excellent flavor, and it's even better for making cakes. Xu Qing was reluctant to give up holding this bucket of butter at that time. When he asked about the price, it was so cheap that he bought it quickly!
What's more, she asked the two foreigners to bring her some barrels of butter next time. If she could, she would sell her some cows. She wanted two males and two females. Anyway, there were not too many.
Li Jinmei saw Xu Qing cut a large piece of butter out, cut it into small pieces, boil it in the pot, then pour in the bean paste that has been peeled and rolled into mud, add some sugar, and stir fry with a wooden shovel.
Xu Qing was busy until the evening to make 120 moon cakes. Li Jinmei didn't stay for dinner and went home.
Xu Qing packed the cold moon cakes into a food box and sent them to the town early tomorrow morning.
Li Changting was busy in the space all afternoon. When Xu Qing went in, he saw that he had dug out the entrance of the cellar.
The two meter deep underground cave is one meter long, five meters wide and four square. After Li Changting chiseled the four sides flat, he began to dig down obliquely and dig another two meters deep. At least the cellar is three meters high and one meter high from the ground, and the length can be extended slowly.
After dinner, Xu Qing also wanted to go down to help, but Li Changting stopped her because it was too dirty, and she couldn't dig a few pieces of soil with her strength.
When Xu Qing saw that Li Changting was moving like an ant, he came up with baskets of soil on his back. He was so tired that he couldn't help patting himself on the head. How could there be no pulley at this time!
Xu Qing called Li Changting up and explained to him the principle and general appearance of the pulley. With the pulley, it would be easier for them to move things up and down.
"Don't dig today. Try to make the pulley you said." Li Changting raised his arm and wiped his forehead. "I'll go out and take a bath first."
"Thank you so much." Xu Qing doesn't have to think. It's wishful thinking without Li Changting's cellar.
Not to mention that she plans to build a cabin in the space in the future. She has to ask Li Changting for help, but she has no good intention to say it for the time being.
"If you don't work hard, it's time to practice." Li Changting road.
Xu Qing: "after you have taken a bath, I'll give you a massage. My massage technique is just like my master Well, my grandfather's! "
Li Changting:???
Half an hour later, after taking a bath, Li Changting was lying on the Kang in his single clothes.
Xu Qing knelt down beside him and reached out to remind him, "I'm starting."
Xu Qingxian began by pinching his shoulder. He asked Li Changting whether it hurt or not, and at the same time he made great efforts to let him relax.
From shoulder to back, then to hand, finally, Xu Qing grabbed Li Changting's arm, stepped on his waist and pulled him back.A set of massage down, Li Changting pain and cool.
After that, Xu Qing clapped his hands and said, "well, you should be more comfortable tomorrow."
After Xu Qing left, Li Changting slightly propped up and swept his half body. He couldn't help sighing and his skull ached.
I just had a bath. I have to do it again.
The next morning, Li Changting sent 120 moon cakes made yesterday to zuixianlou in the town. Instead of taking a donkey cart, he ran to it as a morning exercise.
I took two catties of streaky pork with me when I went back. I arrived home just in time for breakfast.
Li Jinmei came to work early in the morning. She learned that Xu Qing would make moon cakes in the afternoon, but she didn't work in the morning. When she saw her husband and wife staring at a pile of wooden hair, she went back to call Cao Laoliu.
Xu Qing also knows little about roller skating. She only knows such a thing and the principle, but she really doesn't know how to do it. She only has a fuzzy image in her mind.
As a result, Cao Laoliu came and listened to Xu Qing's description. He brought several roller cores from home, cut them into concave shape, and then made a model that could be hung up and embedded in it. He was successful.
Xu Qing was stunned. Her brother-in-law was a real cow. She could do it just by a few words, which overturned her understanding of the ancients!
Of course, another thing that made her subvert her cognition was Li Changting, who was often able to brainstorm and put forward many improvements and suggestions.
Li Changting and Cao Laoliu are doing experiments on the edge of a three meter high cliff. By the time Xu Qing makes lunch, they can easily and smoothly lift up two baskets of soil.
See Xu Qing all want to boast a Bang Bang Da.
In the afternoon, Xu Qing made moon cakes, and when he went into the space again, Li Changting had already made a ladder two meters down, and dug a depth of two meters in.
Xu Qing went down to have a look and found that if he dug in again, the brightness would not be enough.
