At the end of the month, the three of them closed the door and counted the copper plates they had earned during the month. They were divided into two, one was kept, and the other was given to Luo Jianjia.
This month's income is really good. Although there have been some days when the sales of Liangpi plummeted and the scones were not selling well, there were tea eggs and bean paste cakes afterwards, and the entire month's income was still considerable.
Luo Jianjia got five taels of silver.
It is inconvenient to carry the copper plates, especially as the family earns more, so they have already replaced the copper plates with silver every other time.
When you deposit more money, you can exchange the silver for a silver ticket.
Looking at this large pile of silver, the smiles on the faces of Boss Chu and Zhao did not dissipate.
When the money was finished, Zhao asked, "Jianjia, shall we make more red bean paste cakes tonight?"
In these days, they will make more of them almost every two days, and they will be able to sell them every time.
"No, others have imitated 60% to 70%, and we can't sell it if we do more." Luo Jianjia said.
This kind of thing is not once or twice, and Boss Chu and Zhao are calmer than ever.
It's a lot to earn more than ten taels a month, and they don't care much about it.
Because they believe that if they don’t make much money any day, their daughter-in-law will definitely be able to come up with a way to make more money.
It entered the twelfth lunar month on the second day, and there was only one month before the New Year.
When I got up early in the morning, Luo Jianjia went to make red bean cake.
As for the tea eggs made last night, before leaving, Luo Jianjia heated up the tea eggs and the soup again, covered the bowl, and took it away.
This will make the tea eggs less cold.
Although the weather is cold, the hot red bean paste cake is very popular.
It is estimated that he can earn more than four hundred wen on this day.
Aunt Wang and Luo Jianjia were familiar with each other a lot, and they talked and laughed along the way.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I heard that Aunt Wang’s grandson didn’t know where he was going. Luo Jianjia asked her to look for it and went home alone.
As soon as he got home, Luo Jianjia saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Zhou and Li in the yard.
Li came with a sea bowl with some cold skin in it.
Just a glance, Luo Jianjia knew why these two came from, which just verified her previous thoughts.
Some people want to take a small advantage once and want to take a second.
Li has been five months pregnant, and his belly is slightly bulging.
When she saw Luo Jianjia, she didn't know what she thought, she deliberately pushed her belly forward, her face looked proud and proud.
Luo Jianjia was always very indifferent to her, and after greeted Zhou and Li, he went to pack her things.
Zhao also got up to help.
Seeing that Luo Jianjia ignored her, Li raised his voice slightly, and said, "Brothers Wei Leng have been married for more than three years. Isn't there any movement in the belly of the younger brother and sister?"
When the words came out, everyone in the yard looked at her.
Luo Jianjia glanced at her, ignored her, and continued to unload the things from the car.
Li didn't really want Luo Jianjia's answer. Luo Jianjia didn't answer, so she went on: "Yeah, why haven't you?"
Anyone who knows Chu's family can't ask this question, and they know the reason.
Therefore, Luo Jianjia still ignored her.
Although Zhao was also anxious to hug his grandson, he couldn't do anything in a hurry. Besides, no wonder his daughter-in-law.
"The main reason is that Brother Leng has not been at home in the past few years, and there will be some in the future."
Li looked down at his belly, exulting, and said, "This woman, I still have to be pregnant."
The Zhao family was very satisfied with Luo Jianjia’s daughter-in-law. He didn’t like other people saying that to her. He immediately guarded her and said, “It’s also good now. People can compare to her."
When Zhou heard this, he said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is right, nephews and daughters-in-law are very capable. However, women, having children is the most important thing. If you have to have children, you have to have a few more, and have sons. No matter how she can make money, not having a child is not a problem, isn’t she a sister-in-law?"
Luo Jianjia's subordinates kept moving and continued to clean up.
Li smiled triumphantly at Luo Jianjia.
Zhou's words made Zhao very uncomfortable, and she has always been more polite to Zhou.
I was able to refute a junior just now, but for Zhou, she didn't know how to speak.
Just when she thought about speaking for a long time, Luo Jianjia spoke.
Luo Jianjia glanced at Zhou's family, then at Li's family, and said indifferently: "So, isn't it because my sister-in-law had a baby before, or I'm still in her natal family now."
What's the point of secretly poking and burying Tairen? Since the other party owes it after eating someone else's food, there is no need to save face.
The last time Li was sent back by her in-laws, it was embarrassing.
Hearing Luo Jianjia's words, Li's face became difficult to look.
"However, I think women still have to be able to do something, otherwise, the kid who wants to eat has to go to another home to ask for something, and can't buy it with integrity, isn't it, aunt, sister-in-law?" Luo Jianjia said again.
Is it reasonable to ask her to make Liangpi after coming to the house once or twice? Those who eat her still talk to her, what does she owe them?
The smile on Zhou's face disappeared.
She had never dealt with Luo Jianjia before, and heard from others that Luo Shi didn't like to talk to people very much and was a dull gourd.
When he came last time, Roche had been sitting silently by the side. He didn't respond when he didn't speak, and looked dazed.
If not, she would not dare to say what she said just now.
She didn't know until this moment that this was not a dull gourd, but a thorny one.
What Li wanted to say, Zhou raised his hand to hold her.
Luo Jianjia could not take her seriously, but Chu Wei Leng and the others needed to confess.
She is Chu Wei Leng's lady, if the pillow wind blows, they can't stand it.
"Oh, my nephew and daughter-in-law don't welcome us. That's okay, sister-in-law, if I go back with my daughter-in-law, I won't bother you anymore. You and the eldest brother are fine." For a moment.
Luo Jianjia thought, Zhou's is indeed powerful, not a little bit more powerful than Li's.
Being able to bend and stretch, never find unpleasantness for others.
Zhao's is not a talking person, he looked at his daughter-in-law, and then at Zhou.
However, thinking of what Zhou had just said, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Okay."
Zhou thought that Zhao would keep them, but he didn't expect that Zhao would say such a thing, which caused her to swallow the words from her mouth, and returned with her daughter-in-law who had always wanted to talk.
After Zhou left, Zhao sighed.
Luo Jianjia pursed his lips when he heard this sigh.
She didn't think she had just done something wrong, and she would not apologize for it.
Even if it is based on Zhao's face, it is impossible.
Then, she heard Zhao say: "I didn't think it before, but now I think Dahe's wife is weird."
Dahe is the village head, and Dahe's wife naturally refers to the Zhou family.
Luo Jianjia breathed a sigh of relief and continued to be busy.
I only heard Zhao continue to say: “I didn’t think anything was wrong when she came to ask for Liangpi last time. I didn’t expect that after half a month, she came again. Obviously I saw her at the dock at noon. It’s not on the stall anymore. She won’t go, as if she was afraid that people would know. When she turned back, she brought her daughter-in-law to ask for Liangpi, but didn’t she just want to take advantage of our house, and don’t want outsiders to know about them and make fun of them."
The Zhao family finally made some progress, and Luo Jianjia was very pleased.
"This elder brother and daughter-in-law is not a good person, you will see her stay away from her in the future, so you don't have to worry about it." Zhao confessed to Luo Jianjia.
"Okay, mother, daughter-in-law remembered." Luo Jianjia responded with a smile.
"You finally laughed, don't care what they say. Both I and your father know that it is not your fault that you can't have a baby, it's Brother Leng's problem. He doesn't have a family, how can you get pregnant." Zhao Shi comforted her.
There is such a mother-in-law, Luo Jianjia feels really happy, for a moment, she hopes that life can stay in this moment.
However, the next moment, Zhao's words scared her very much.
"Brother Leng doesn't know when he will come back after he leaves. It's not a way to go on like this." Zhao said, "If he can't come back this year, why don't you go find him?"
Luo Jianjia stabilized his mind, paused, and said: "Mother, the military camp is heavy, how can women go in and out at will."
Zhao came back to his senses, sighed, and said, "Hey, yes, I thought too well."
Luo Jianjia breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Aunt Wang came over, and her grandson found it.
When Aunt Wang was looking for her grandson, she heard Li said something outside, so she came to learn from Zhao.
Zhao told her what had just happened.
The two gathered together and talked about the Zhou family and the Li family's mother-in-law.
When Boss Chu came back, Zhao told him what had just happened.
Luo Jianjia is in a good mood today and plans to make something delicious.
Now that the family has money, oil and eggs are not so rare. In order to make red bean cakes, there is also a lot of sugar at home.
Luo Jianjia blanched some noodles and planned to deep-fry sugar pudding.
Fried sugar pudding is a kind of food they would eat when they were young.
The outside is charred and tender inside, and the inside is sweet and delicious.
But this is not easy to cook, and Luo Jianjia hasn't tried it a few times, and some of them were blown out.
After frying the sugar cake, the eggs that have just been boiled have cooled down, peel off the shells, and slowly put them in a frying pan to fry them. Fry until the egg shell starts to wrinkle, and serve.
Set up a separate pot, pour oil in the pot, add scallion, ginger, aniseed, sugar and salt and other seasonings. After mixing thoroughly, pour in a few eggs that have just been fried.
Pour water in the pot, boil it, and then slowly collect the juice.
These two kinds of food were something Zhao had never seen before, and both of them were exactly what she liked very much.
"Jianjia, this sugar cake is so delicious, even better than red bean paste." Zhao asked in surprise, "the outer layer is crispy, the inner layer is soft, and it's still hollow, so sweet."
This sugar cake is specially made for Zhao's by Luo Jianjia. It contains a lot of sugar and sesame seeds.
Zhao liked it very much, but it was a bit sweet for ordinary people.
After eating one, Boss Chu prefers tiger skin eggs, which are slightly sweet and very fragrant.
"This egg is so delicious, is it wrapped in noodles?" Boss Chu asked, looking at the wrinkled egg.
"No, I saw it with my own eyes." Zhao explained to the side.
"Mother is right, I did not put it in. The cooked eggs will become like this when they are fried." Luo Jianjia said.
Hearing this answer, Boss Chu looked at the tiger skin egg in surprise and praised again and again.
In the morning of the second day, Luo Jianjia saw the guard he had seen before. This was the second time he had seen each other, and everyone was familiar with it a lot.
From his conversation with Zhao, he learned that his name was Mo Feng, and he was the guard of a certain Prince Houfu family in the capital.
This time he still came with the task of one hundred taels of silver notes and twenty catties of dried pork, but this time Chu Wei Leng did not write a letter to the family.
Zhao hurriedly asked about the situation of his son from home.
"Master Chu is busy with the year-end martial arts competition, too busy to write." Mo Feng said.
When Luo Jianjia heard this, he always felt that the plot was familiar, but he couldn't remember why it was so familiar.
Then I heard Zhao ask: "Will he be back at the end of the year?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Jianjia recovered and looked at Mo Feng.
Mo Feng shook his head.
Hearing this expected answer, Zhao was not too disappointed. His son has only left for a few months, and it is normal not to come back.
However, no matter how long her son has been away, she misses him a lot.
In order to allow Mo Feng to smoothly take away the dried pork tomorrow, Luo Jianjia did not make cold skins today, only made scones, and went to town with the tea eggs and Aunt Wang made last night.
When I came back, I went to the county to buy meat.
I did it early today, and I will do it before evening.
Like last time, when Mo Feng left, Luo Jianjia brought some food to Chu Weilian.
It is now the twelfth lunar month. If you follow the book, Chu Wei Leng will meet the heroine who came to the border from Beijing just a few years ago, and the emotional line of the story begins at this moment.
I don’t know when Chu Weilian will ask her to come and leave...
However, now that she is rich, she is not afraid that Chu Wei will mention it coldly. After leaving, she can also live well.
It's just that she will probably stay here after Heli, and Luo's family does have some trouble.
She must hurry up and look at the houses in the town.
