Chapter 384: My little money man made a loss-making business!
Soon, the ceremonial gifts were packed up and loaded onto the carriage along with half a basket of salted fish.
The old lady is a person who lives a good life. She told her grandson, "Let your mother dry the salted fish well, then cut it into pieces, fry it in oil, and stew it with tofu. It will also be a good dish."
"I know, grandma." Jia Huan waved and left. The carriage bumped and the oil paper bag in her arms was a little shaky.
He reached out and took it out, opened it and saw what kind of snack it was. It turned out to be a pair of silver bracelets with twisted wires. The two wires were twisted together, and they looked very delicate.
But it’s bumpy and very solid.
He suddenly turned his head and looked back. His chubby sister was lying on grandma's back, waving her rice dumpling hand with him.
With red eyes, he also stretched out his hand and waved it hard again and again!
The silver dimes he gave only weighed five or six cents, and he originally planned to buy a good wooden hairpin for Wenjuan.
In the end, I "exchanged" a pair of bracelets from my sister. I couldn't buy these bracelets without seven or eight taels.
My sister loves money, this is something the whole family knows.
But she and her family have always done business at a loss...
Mr. Jiang arrived at Broken Gold Beach and felt as at ease as a fish in water.
In just two or three days, everyone in and outside the village, men, women, old and young, knew him.
The old man likes him for his enthusiasm and lack of aloofness as a scholar.
Young people like to hear him talk about the places he has visited during his study tour, the different customs, and new things.
Of course, many of them can be seen from travel notes.
But this does not prevent him from hoping and imagining together with the young people.
Over in the valley, he even went to the hot springs every day, and learned how to "dog paddle" without any teacher. He was so noisy that the guests all knew that Broken Gold Beach had a new, playful gentleman.
On the contrary, the little book boy Guli who came to the village together was only ten years old, but he was much quieter and more steady.
Perhaps he has been a wanderer for so many years that he cherishes his current stable place.
Even if classes are not in session, he cleans the inside and outside of the school every day.
The villagers saw this and really felt that the personalities of the gentleman and the book boy should be changed.
After all, will Mr., who is too lively, lead the children to play crazier?
What should I do if I study...
But soon, they no longer had this worry.
The morning when school reopened, the girls and boys were sitting in rows inside the house, and the courtyard was also crowded with parents of their children, as well as idlers who came to watch the fun.
The village chief squatted at the base of the wall and tried to **** up his ears.
Everyone is following the same example, leaning on the cracks of doors, climbing on walls...
In the room, Mr. Jiang told the children about his life experience, which aroused the children's sympathy and asked them about their escape from famine.
The children are all eight or nine years old, and they still have memories of the days when they traveled over mountains and ridges and were chased and killed by barbarians, so they talked about it all.
Then Mr. Jiang asked them how they got the good old days now.
Some children said that the emperor's kindness was great, some said that the marquis protected it, and some said that the hot springs were carved out of the valley.
So Mr. Jiang concluded for the children that the Marquis, Uncle and others were all well-educated, good at calculations, sensible, and capable.
That’s why I led everyone to build such a good home and live such a good life.
Children are the future of the entire Broken Gold Beach. If Broken Golden Beach wants to live a good life, they must study hard and become the backbone of Broken Golden Beach and protect Broken Golden Beach.
The children were given important responsibilities, each with their chests puffed out, their faces flushed with excitement, and almost shouting while reading!
The village chief squatting under the wall was extremely satisfied. He knocked the empty pipe pot twice and shouted to the villagers.
"Hurry up and get busy, why are you all here to join in the fun! Could it be that the gentleman Mr. Wen chose was wrong?" Everyone laughed and did not argue with the village chief. They dispersed and went about their business with a smile.
The peanuts from the fields have to be taken back, and the fruits from the mountains have been picked, and they still need to be sorted and prepared for the winter.
In short, as long as you are not lazy, there is always something to do in a farmer's life.
But no matter how busy you are, everyone is happy!
Walking on such a wide and prosperous road, they were full of strength and did not feel tired at all!
The daily dinner is when the family gathers the most complete meals, and the same is true for the Li family.
Young and old sit around, eat together, and talk about what they have been busy with during the day.
It’s rare that there is no greedy little girl like Jiayin on the dinner table tonight.
So, no one could help but ask, "Where's Fu Niuer? Does your hand hurt?"
The old lady shook her head, "Don't worry. Doctor Zhang came to see you today. The wound has recovered well and the medicine has been changed. The medicinal soup she drank is more effective. Not only does Fu Niuer have no fever, the pain in her hand is also gone."
“Then why doesn’t Fu Niuer eat?” Everyone felt relieved and became more curious.
Mrs. Li glared at her sons, smiled and scolded, "You are not so spoiled! One of them was afraid that the medicine would be too bitter, so they all went back to buy some candied fruits.
“Fu Niu’er is always greedy, and she ate too much after just one piece. Just now she complained that her stomach hurt. I rubbed it for a long time and she fell asleep.”
Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer rubbed their noses after being scolded and felt a little guilty.
I just wanted to love my niece. I really didn’t expect that the child would be uncomfortable due to food accumulation when the child is young.
Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with the little niece, otherwise it would not be as simple as being scolded.
Tao Hongying hurriedly helped to rescue her and said with a smile, "Mom, it's not wrong for the eldest brother and the second brother to love my niece. It's because this girl is greedy. She didn't obey me many times. She hid the candied snacks and gave them to her later when she took medicine. Just one or two bucks will do.”
Mrs. Li nodded, "Okay, let's hide it for a few days. I'll take care of her at night. When Fu Niu'er wakes up, I'll give her some water."
Everyone continued to eat, and Li Zhensheng said, "Hongying, if the valley is accessible, can you come to the restaurant to help for a few days? The master invited back from the south can cook seafood, but the family can't afford cooking. This piece.”
Over the valley, there are two women who have learned well. They can handle the simple stew set meal, and Tao Hongying will not get into trouble even if she leaves for a few days.
Furthermore, she also found it novel to fry and stir-fry in the back kitchen of a large restaurant and wanted to try it.
But she still looked at her mother-in-law, a little hesitant.
After all, there are only two daughters-in-law in the family, and the third sister-in-law is already in Luo'an. If she goes to the restaurant again, won't she leave all the trivial chores to her mother-in-law?
The old lady guessed what she was thinking, patted her hand and said, "You can go if you want! Now there are Nanny and Shui Ling Shuiyun at home, and Dongmei and Yeshan are also there next door. Is there a shortage of you to work?"
“Besides, Fu Niu’er is sensible, and Jia An Jia Xi and Brother Mao can also help me. Don’t worry!”
Tao Hongying happily agreed and told her eldest uncle on the spot about the new dish she had been thinking about recently. She planned to prepare the ingredients tomorrow and make a portion for everyone to try first.
If you think everything is good, you can add it to the menu to add popularity and topic to the restaurant.
Li Zhensheng originally meant this, and of course he always said yes.
After dinner, everyone discussed it for a long time.
They didn’t disperse until late at night when the old lady chased them away.
Li Zhensheng returned to the West Room, and the three boys Jiaxi, Jiaan and Mao Geer were already asleep.
Li Zhensheng covered the children's bellies and sat down at the kang table, intending to look at the list again and count the posts to see if anyone was missed.
This is the opening time, so we need to invite relatives and friends to support us.
As a result, as soon as he opened the list, a palm-sized piece of paper fell out.
