Half a month has passed since the last time the ramie stalks were dropped in the pond, and it was time to fish them up.
Liuyu moved the big stones on the ramie stalks to one side, and Cong Chunhua fished out the bundles of ramie stalks with a hoe.
After half a month of retting, the smell is not very good, so I will not put this one at home. I found an open space in front of the house, spread it evenly, and asked it to dry in the sun.
After finishing, Liu Yu and Cong Chunhua went home and washed their hands several times with acacia.
"The hemp stalk is quite heavy to hold, and it will weigh five or six catties when it is peeled off." Cong Chunhua curled her lips and said.
What she was talking about was the hemp husk peeled off from the hemp stalk, which was the one and a half kilos of hemp that was paid for the silk tax. The ramie on half an mu of land is harvested three times a year, and the peeled ramie can weigh 17 to 8 catties.
A catty of hemp can weave more than eight feet of ramie cloth, and ramie cloth is cheaper than white linen cloth. Ordinary Cong Chunhua weaves these hemp leather yarns into cloth and sells them, and then makes cheaper cloth for her and Li Qingshan. make clothes.
Now Li Qingshan is working as a butcher, and she can sell out a pig every day these days, she plans in her heart that the hemp skins she peeled off this time will be woven by then, and will add spring clothes to each of the four members of the family in the coming year.
After washing her hands, Cong Chunhua started to clean up the pig's blood left over from the pig slaughter this morning. Today, only one person in the village asked for a catty, and Li Qingshan charged him a penny and gave him some more.
But there is still a lot left, this cart is not easy to carry, so Li Qingshan wants to keep it for his own food.
Liu Yu looked at this and thought of Li Qingshan.
Since the day before yesterday, when Li Qingshan asked him that question, he hesitated to answer, although Li Qingshan didn't seem to be angry with him, but for some reason, he always felt uneasy.
"Brother Yu?" Cong Chunhua yelled twice just now, but Liu Yu didn't answer, and yelled again.
When Liu Yu came back to her senses, she said: "What's wrong with you? Are you tired? If you are tired, go and rest for a while, I don't need your help here."
Liu Yu pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head slightly.
After Cong Chunhua lifted the lid, he realized that three catties of pig blood had solidified so much after adding cold water and a pinch of salt, it weighed about eight or nine catties.
Cong Chunhua said: "We can't eat it all by ourselves, I'll cut it up, you can send some to your uncle's house, and I'll give it to another family." Farmers don't pick,
it's considered meaty, and most people can accept it this one.
Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Mom, do you think we can make pig blood into pieces like this and then sell it?" "Is
this okay?" Cong Chunhua said, "Do people in the county eat this?"
Liu Yu Said: "Not all the people in the county are rich. Besides, although some people can't accept pig's blood, there are many people who like to eat it. I think, if we can pack it up and sell it, we should There will be more people willing to try it."
Cong Chunhua felt that what he said was reasonable, and the fresh pig's blood persuaded too many people, and if she didn't think it was a pity to throw it away, she would not want to pick up this thing, "Then what is the right price? "
It's just a penny and a catty." Liu Yu said.
Cong Chunhua felt that the price was a bit expensive, but then thought that this item was rare, and if it could be sold, the price would not be considered expensive for those who love to eat it.
It just so happened that it wasn't too strenuous, and in the morning when Qingshan divided the pigs, she was able to make the pig's blood clots. As much as you can sell at that time, you will not lose money.
Li Qingshan came back in the afternoon, Liu Yu and Cong Chunhua said before that if they couldn't go home at noon, they would ask him to find a stall in the city to eat, so as not to go on the road hungry and exhausted after a long time.
Li Qingshan knew this reason, and he came back after eating two bowls of noodles at the noodle stall today.
Since he started working as a butcher, he has to take a bath every day when he returns home. Today, Liu Yu also boiled hot water for him.
Li Qingshan came out of the shower, his hair was still dripping with water.
Liu Yu took the cloth towel for him, "It's cold outside, let's go back to the house."
Li Qingshan raised his head with the corners of his lips curled up, the meaning was self-evident.
After the two returned to the room, Li Qingshan was sitting, and Liu Yu was standing to help him brush his hair.
The atmosphere was dull, Li Qingshan sighed slightly in his heart, secretly thinking that he was too impatient that day.
One word made Fu Lang shrink back again, and those who were respectful and polite to him all dissipated the liveliness of those few days.
There was little moisture on the hair, so Li Qingshan took the cloth towel from Liu Yu's hand and put it on the table beside him, then turned around and hugged Liu Yu's waist, and asked him: "Why are you unhappy these two days?" Liu
Yu Gently grabbing the clothes on Li Qingshan's shoulders, he lowered his eyes to look at him.
It was this man, whose words that night made his heart beat violently but he was completely awake, he shouldn't and couldn't sink into it anymore.
But Li Qingshan treats him really well now, so what should he do?
After thinking for two days, he didn't think of any answer except that it made his heart more and more chaotic.
"No." Willow said.
"Liar!" Li Qingshan hugged Liu Yu even tighter, put his chin on Liu Yu's abdomen, raised his head and asked him: "Did the words I asked you that day make you feel burdened?" Liu Yu grabbed Li
Qingshan The hand of the clothes couldn't help tightening, but
he still said : "No."
On a sunny day, Liu Yu was not as thick-skinned as him, and dodged.
Li Qingshan stood up abruptly, hugged Liuyu and surrounded him between the table and his chest, unable to move, and asked him with a smile: "What did I tell you that day?" After he didn't answer for a long time, Li Qingshan was
dejected Buried on the side of his neck and said what to do with him, he was feeling guilty and didn't know what to do.
The man immediately raised his head and said with a smiling face, "Then make it up to me!"
Liu Yu has never rejected Li Qingshan in this matter since she got married, let alone back then.
However, that night...
until he was exhausted and drowsy, Li Qingshan whispered in his ear that he would wait forever and would use his whole life to prove it to him.
Liu Yu shed tears again that night.
Now...
Liu Yu feels very embarrassed when she thinks about what happened that night.
Li Qingshan chuckled lightly, then leaned forward and planted a kiss on Liu Yu's lips, "I told you to talk, what are you thinking?"
Liu Yu gave him a light look.
This seems to be a bit lively again, the corners of Li Qingshan's lips are raised, his short body is too tired, Li Qingshan circled Liu Yu's legs and hugged him upright.
He seemed to like hugging him like this all the time, without any sense of oppression, which made Liu Yu feel that he didn't have to look up to others, as he was the one condescending.
"I said how to wait and how to prove is my business, what are you worried about?" Li Qingshan said: "Or..." The
voice changed, Li Qingshan hugged the person with one hand and raised his hand to scratch the itchy flesh of the willow fish, and said with a smile: "Aren't you totally missing me in your heart?"
Liu Yu wanted to dodge but was afraid to dodge, and could only be covered with watery eyes by Li Qingshan's scratching.
Li Qingshan stopped his hand, Liu Yu's itchy laughter stopped before he looked down at the person in front of him.
Such a handsome, passionate and active person, can he really cold-heartedly reject people thousands of miles away?
But... what if such a person abandons him one day if he has delivered his sincerity?
The water in Liu Yu's eyes just now finally fell down, dripping on Li Qingshan's cheeks.
Li Qingshan was so distressed that he wiped his tears, "Why are
you crying?" Liu Yu bit his lip and said, "You scratched him."
Li Qingshan couldn't help laughing and put him down, took out a handkerchief and wiped it off for him Wiping away her tears, she just said, "I won't ask any more, so don't be unhappy, okay?"
Liu Yu nodded, all the worries in his heart were completely dispelled by his making such a fuss.
Li Qingshan smiled slightly, hugged him in his arms, and said briskly: "Let's see later."
As if he had the winning ticket in hand, Liu Yu sneered, Dashagou didn't seem stupid at all.
After saying this, Liu Yu felt that her worries for the past two days were meaningless.
Because even if he turns cold, Li Qingshan is no longer as cautious and "reserved" as he was when he was newly married, and he will post it to make him pester him.
He wanted to keep a cold face, but it often fell short, because Li Qingshan was too clingy, or he was too gentle, Liu Yu couldn't stand it.
Just like right now, he can't refuse such a warm embrace from Li Qingshan on the cold night of early winter.
"Today, I went to buy Mrs. Tang from Zhang Coppersmith. Guess how much it is?" Liu Yu leaned on Li
Qingshan's arm and said: "One hundred and fifty Wen?"
It is enough to be a Tang Pozi.
"Two hundred and fifty coins!" Li Qingshan felt that the coppersmith was stealing money, but he was the best craftsman in the county.
The Tang Pozi made can keep people warm without scalding them, and has a good reputation. If you buy one of these things, they can be used for decades if they are kept properly, but you can't buy the best one.
Expensive is a bit expensive, but use it with peace of mind.
"So expensive?" After letting Li Qingshan sell the handkerchief again yesterday, Liu Yu had 334 Wen in her hand, she thought it would be enough to buy two Mrs. Tang, but she didn't expect it to be so much short.
The most important thing is that it's so expensive, he really feels sorry for the money, "Why don't you just buy one."
He can survive with Li Qingshan, as long as he doesn't make grandma freeze.
Li Qingshan pinched Liu Yu's butt leisurely, "Just buy one? Then you hug me every day to keep warm?" If you
don't like it, let it go, Liu Yu wants to turn around but is held by Li Qingshan, "Don't be angry."
Li Qingshan couldn't help laughing, "Although there is me, it's warmer to step on Mrs. Tang, huh?
" In the future, I will be far away from Li Qingshan, who would have thought that being hugged so intimately at night, and being provoked by his flirtatious chatter, all the respect and courtesy he pretended to be gone.
Liu Yu was worrying when he heard Li Qingshan say: "So I didn't bring enough money, I'll put more money on it tomorrow."
Liu Yu packed half a coin for him today, and in the morning the pig was sold for money , adding up to a lot. But if you buy two Tang Pozi at once, the remaining money will not be enough in case you encounter a big fat pig.
"The money is in the money box, you take it yourself." Although the money box was kept by Liu Yu, the money in it was earned by Li Qingshan. Liu Yu never restricts his spending, nor does he ask where the money goes.
"How can I do that?" Li Qingshan said: "A man will turn bad when he has money." "
You know Brother Qinghe, right? Except when he is paid for his work, he never has more than five cents on him!"
Liu Yu thought of that Wu Tong just wanted to laugh because of that 20-character carved hairpin chasing Li Qinghe all over the yard.
His appearance made Li Qingshan's heart itch, he scratched his face with his hand, turned over and pressed him under him and said: "So you also have to take care of me."
