After being forced to marry a butcher

Chapter 5

  The next day, Liu Yu got up late again.

Cong Chunhua didn't know what was the reason, she was happy to see the results, and would not let Liu Yu do any work early in the morning. For breakfast, an extra egg was stuffed to nourish the willow fish.

The old lady Guan also laughed, calling Liu Yu rare and a little embarrassed.

Now Li Qingshan also understood the reason why the two elders in the family were so happy this morning, he touched his nose, a little embarrassed, and secretly looked at his husband's face.

It's fine if you're not angry.

Li Qingshan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

After the meal, Li Qingshan took the tools for making mud, pulled the cart, and called Li Qinghe to go to the riverside together.

The small river in Taoyuan Village is called Wubai River. It flows down from the mountain and finally flows into Yunshui Lake. The river is wide and has many forks.

The mud should be selected in the river section with a thicker silt layer, so that it can only be lifted up with a full silt after going down.

Li Qinghe rolled up his trouser legs, jumped onto the small wooden boat shared by the villagers, and was full of energy, "Pull up two big fish in a while!" Li Qingshan couldn't help laughing, remembering that

he and Li Qinghe secretly took it behind their backs when they were twelve or three years old. Liaozi rowed a boat to play with mud in the river, but the mud didn't come up, but he was very lucky to catch three grass carp weighing five catties.

Although he sold it for more than a hundred pennies, he was still beaten up when he returned home, especially Li Qinghe, whose buttocks were swollen from being slapped by the soles of his shoes.

"Okay, let uncle beat you up when you get home!" Li Qingshan laughed.

"Okay, Li Qingshan!" Li Qinghe feigned anger, picked up a paddle and rowed in the river, spilling water all over Li Qingshan, not to be outdone, Li Qingshan turned back, and the Wu Bai River was filled with the hearty laughter of the two brothers.

Yesterday the willow fish sent fish soup and jelly to the big farmer, and today the big farmer sent over steamed stuffed buns with wild vegetables.

"It's stuffed with fennel and eggs. It's delicious when I eat it."

The big farmer is nearly eight months pregnant. Liu Yu took the buns and quickly moved a chair with a backrest and a soft cushion for her sit.

The big farmer sat down with a smile on his face, looked at Liu Yu and Cong Chunhua and boasted: "Brother Qingshan has got a good husband.

" boast, and turn to care about the child in the womb of the big dealer.

"Hey, this is too dishonest, it keeps making noises in my stomach every day."

Da Zhuang is only one year older than Li Qingshan, and now he is almost the father of two children, and Li Qingshan just got married. Call me over and beat him up with a broom.

Speaking of the child, Da Zhuang seems to have opened up a chatterbox, or talking about how naughty the child is in the stomach, or what she and Da Zhuang expect from the child.

Liu Yu listened to her rambling words, looked at her swollen belly, remembered last night when Li Qingshan held him quietly and warmly, discussed with him about the child, and said that he would have a child after the family had accumulated money. You have to ask him if he knows how to prevent pregnancy!

How could he know such a thing?

The man looked serious during the day, and said all kinds of nasty things at night, and finally he leaned on Liu Yu and told him that the drawing book said that if you don't get that thing in it, you won't be pregnant. Liu Yu was so angry Pretending it wasn't intentional, she kicked him secretly.

The three were talking, and two women came to the door together.

Even though he went to many houses with Cong Chunhua yesterday, Liu Yu didn't recognize who was who at the moment, so Cong Chunhua reminded him in a low voice.

He called out politely, and after a while of pleasantries, one of the women explained the purpose of coming, "We want to buy some jelly from your family yesterday!" The weather is hot, and summer is inevitable, and everything is tasteless

. But yesterday, the jelly from the Li family was brought to the table, and it was snatched away without a few chopsticks.

It was inevitable to talk about this matter when we got together to chat about the family affairs, and the more we talked, the more greedy we became, the two women decided to come to the house together.

"I didn't eat enough yesterday, and I'm always thinking about it today!"

Cong Chunhua didn't expect the development of this matter, she laughed twice, "Hey, it's not worth much. If you want to eat, I'll let Brother Yu make it later I'll send some to you."

The two women kept saying no, "Maybe I'll eat it this time and think about it next time, how can I eat yours for free again and again!"

Seeing this, the big dealer hurried to help the Li family After winning the business, "Auntie, you can sell tofu in the village like the tofu shop at the entrance of the village!"

They sell a board every morning and evening, and the sales are so good that even people from the nearby village will come.

The big dealer deliberately said: "I'm also greedy. When my auntie's home is ready, I will be the first to buy it." This

sentence made the two women laugh and said that they were the first.

Cong Chunhua followed the trend, and the two women left without asking the price in a tacit understanding, because it was sure that it would not be too expensive.

After they left, Cong Chunhua was still in a daze, how did it become a deal?

Liu Yu was very happy, already silently calculating the cost and profit in his heart.

It's not good to stay here any longer, the wise man of the big banker, get up and go home.

Seeing this, Cong Chunhua picked a big pomegranate from the pomegranate tree in the yard and stuffed it for her.

Such a large pomegranate can be sold in the market for three pennies, and even big dealers are embarrassed to take it.

Cong Chunhua said with a smile: "Why are you being polite with my aunt? Pomegranates have many seeds, but I don't want to take them." The

big farmer accepted it embarrassingly, and Liu Yu helped her to send her home. When she came back, she had already made up her mind billed.

The rest of the pea flour can be used to make another ten catties of jelly. I hardly eat this on weekdays, and I don't have any prepared at home. If someone still buys it in the future, they must use mung beans instead.

Mung beans cost three pennies a catty, and a catty can yield a little more than three taels of noodles. Adding water can make more than three catties of jelly, and you have to sell it for two pennies per catty to make a profit.

Liu Yu told Cong Chunhua all this, Cong Chunhua smiled, and said straightforwardly: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Liu Yu made five catties of jelly, and after an hour, the two women, together with the elder When the bankers heard the movement, they all came to the door with their own bowls, and each person asked for a catty.

Cong Chunhua cut into pieces, weighed the willow fish, and taught the three how to make jelly, and let them taste the fried jelly they made by themselves, and taught them how to do it.

The three of them agreed that the fried bean jelly tasted good, and they thought that when they went home, they would put half of the courgette in cold salad and the other half of garlic sprouts. They made two dishes, one cold and one hot, and went home happily.

On the way home, I was inevitably asked about it, and after some talking, two other people who liked the jelly sent by Liu Yu yesterday bought the remaining two catties.

After the five catties of jelly were sold out, Cong Chunhua's heart was still beating violently. Counting the five catties of jelly in exchange for ten cents felt a bit unbelievable, "Is this making money?"

It is much easier than her weaving in a day.

Liuyu was also very happy, but he was very sober, "It's just a tooth sacrifice, no one buys it every day."

What's more, the autumn harvest is coming soon.

"Don't talk about that." Cong Chunhua likes to think about the good in everything, counting the copper coins cheerfully, "At least we made a net profit of ten coins! Who cares if anyone will buy it after it!" Liu Yu was

stunned , also slowly laughed, and discussed with Cong Chunhua, "Mother, it's hard to find wild peas outside, and there are some mung beans at home. I'll soak them first and make some noodles today.

" There are people to buy.

Cong Chunhua glanced at Liu Yu, smiled and gave him all the copper coins in her hand, "You can do what you want at home, don't ask me everything." After she finished speaking,

she stretched Liu Yu's clothes , and said again: "Sooner or later, this family will be handed over to you and Qingshan."

Liu Yu nodded slowly, and counted five copper coins to Cong Chunhua, "Mother will also take care of it.

" The old lady Guan saw this scene with a smile in her eyes.

A piece of mud weighs sixty to seventy catties, and it is difficult for a man who is not extremely strong to lift it out of the water. Li Qingshan and Li Qinghe switched jobs and pulled three boats of mud this morning.

Uncle Li and Li Qingjiang on the bank put them in wooden baskets, and pulled them into the field one by one, and they have covered more than an acre of land so far.

The big fish that Li Qinghe was looking forward to hadn't been caught yet, but there was almost a bucket of small fish, shrimps, mussels and snails in the river mud all morning.

As the sun grew higher, Liu Yu and Li Lerong went to the river to deliver food together.

Because Uncle Li and Uncle Li had let go of their words yesterday, they would not eat at his house if they made such a good dish, so the lunch of Liuyu was much simpler.

But the taste is quite good, minced garlic, chili powder, chopped green onion, cooked sesame seeds are poured with hot oil, then topped with vinegar, soy sauce, a pinch of salt and sugar, shredded courgette, mixed with noodles soaked in cold water, Sprinkle a small handful of cooked peanuts and chopped coriander at the end, not to mention how hot and sour it is.

Not only that, Liuyu also brought the steamed buns stuffed with fennel and eggs from the big dealer. The fennel seedlings are fresh and tender, and the inside is full of fragrance. With the dipping sauce of willow fish, you will not feel greasy at all. .

The four of them had a full meal, and Li Qingshan took the bucket of fish and shrimp and sent the two younger brothers home first.

Li Lerong was chattering all the way, pulling the willow fish and asking: "How to make mussels and fried snails ?

"

Li Lerong was very interested in eating, "Then when the sun is not so poisonous, let's pick the perilla leaves together!"

Liu Yu nodded, and Li Lerong chatted with Liu Yu again. The atmosphere is very harmonious.

Li Qingshan who was on the side was very depressed, why did Fu Lang talk more with Brother Rong than with him?

The author has something to say:

Liu Yu: What do you want me to say?

It's really a pity that I can't write about the car. Some private words can only be said when whispering in the middle of the night. 【cry】
