Li Qingshan didn't stay idle after returning home, first went to take back the wool pigs that had been ordered for tomorrow and the next two days, and then went to the agreed family to help people kill the New Year pigs.
These are families with a lot of land and relatively well-off lives. There are a large number of people in the family, and some of the slaughtered pigs are eaten during the Chinese New Year, and some are given away by favors.
There is no shortage of meat in Li Qingshan's family, so he doesn't allow people to pay with meat, he always collects money. Twenty Wen is not much for one head, and it is sixty Wen for killing three heads in one afternoon. There will only be more slaughtering pigs tomorrow and later, and a lot of money can be made by just killing pigs in the past few days at the end of the year.
When he returned home, it was already dark, and Liu Yu came to open the door for him with an oil lamp in his hand, "Why did you come back so late?" Although he knew Li Qingshan's whereabouts in detail, but in the cold winter, he couldn't see his fingers outside
. At the end of the year there will be more villains, Liu Yu is really worried.
"After cleaning up the second house, I wanted to leave, but the old man Yang dragged me to his house." The three pigs that Li Qingshan killed today belonged to Yangzhuang. He grew up again, dragging Li Qingshan to the point of rolling around, Li Qingshan didn't take good care of him, so he went to his house again.
Liu Yu imagined the scene a little funny, and asked him: "Are you starving?
"
Liu Yu was amused by him, and helped Li Qingshan to shine on the porch, told him to take off the clothes he was wearing outside to work, pushed him into the house, and brought him food.
They are all kept warm on the stove, and they are still hot. The burrito with spicy fried pork and a bowl of hot bone soup is a very good dinner.
While he was eating, willow fish and the others were busy making noodles.
It's New Year's Eve, those who work outside have to rest for a long time, and those who do work at home also have to rest, otherwise the coming year will be full of hard work all year round. Before New Year's Eve, steamed steamed buns and steamed buns are staple foods, and you don't have to do it until the fifth day of the new year at least.
So there are quite a lot of noodles for this one-time meeting. Before dinner, Liu Yu and the others were busy, and they were so busy that Li Qingshan didn't finish it when he came back.
Seeing that Li Qingshan had finished his meal and still had some work to do, Cong Chunhua urged Liu Yu to go back to the room with Li Qingshan, "Go and rest, I think these steamed buns and steamed buns should be enough, rolling noodles It won't be too late tomorrow."
The noodles used for steaming steamed buns and making buns are fermented noodles, and old noodles are used as primers to wake up the noodles. The noodles for rolling noodles and making dumplings are dead noodles, so there is always time to prepare them. Liu Yu was not stubborn when she saw this, so she and Li Qingshan went back to the room first.
Li Qingshan led Liu Yu down the corridor, twisting his neck and shrugging his shoulders, looking uncomfortable.
Liu Yu stretched out his other hand to Li Qingshan's neck and shoulder, pinched it and asked, "It hurts here?" "
Yeah." Li Qingshan nodded, "
It's a bit uncomfortable." He has to work hard, and he has to take on the heavy work at home, but in fact he is only nineteen years old this year.
Liu Yu felt a little distressed, and after washing up, he went to bed, asked him to lie on his stomach, pressed his shoulders, and loosened his muscles, "Why don't you rest for a day?" "No." Li Qingshan grunted as Liu Yu pressed the pain
point , "One day off at the end of the year equals three days off after my year, so it's not worth it." "
And." Li Qingshan grabbed Liu Yu's hand, took a sip, and smiled at him, "Boss Guang is starting today. I ordered half a piece of meat here, and I don't leave the stall, I'm breaking my promise."
After speaking, he rubbed Liu Yu's hand with his cheek, as if comforting him, but also as if acting coquettishly, "It's been hard work for the last three days. "
"Lie down honestly!" Liu Yu glanced at him, withdrew her hand, and pressed his shoulders harder to make him more relaxed.
Either because he was too tired, or because Liu Yu was pressing too comfortably, Li Qingshan, who was joking with Liu Yu, soon fell silent and fell asleep.
Sleeping so deeply, there was a slight snoring sound, and the blue stubble around his lips appeared again, Liu Yu gently touched Li Qingshan's side face, turned on the lamp, and lay down next to him.
On the second day, Li Qingshan got up earlier than before in order to close the stall earlier and go to more slaughterhouses.
If he gets up, Liu Yu naturally gets up too.
Li Qingshan said: "After the twenty-eight seals, we will sleep until the sun rises every day." When
we wake up at this time, because we go to bed early, we don't lack sleep, but it's too cold in the twelfth lunar month, and it takes perseverance to get out of the bed, Liu Yu helped him tie his belt and smiled, "It's not a joke if it gets out."
Ever since Mrs. Guan took three maids to learn embroidery, more and more people who were familiar with the family came to see the excitement. Sometimes when Li Qingshan came back from the stall, there were still people at home, which made it difficult for him to cling to Liuyu.
Then in the first lunar month, when relatives have nothing to do, there will be more people visiting. Li Qingshan, who is now idle and only wants to cling to his husband, thinks about it.
Hearing what he said, Liu Yu smiled and said: "I told grandma to give the three girls a holiday during the Chinese New Year." Li Qingshan hugged
Liu Yu happily, and said after a while: "I won't leave at noon. I'm back, and I'll definitely be back before dark."
Today is the day he made an appointment to help Zhu Xingyou kill pigs, Zhuzhuang is a big village, and there are probably quite a few people who want to kill pigs, so he went straight there after closing the stall.
Liu Yu nodded and went out to prepare breakfast for him.
The time is enough, and the willow fish is also carefully cooked for breakfast. The dough prepared last night is brushed with oil and chopped green onion.
They boiled corn porridge again, steamed a bowl of custard for Li Qingshan, made two fried eggs, and cut some pickles and fried them with spicy pepper and lard.
When Li Qingshan came back to eat after packing up the piglets, he was surprised and said: "You cooked all the eggs for me?" The
only hen in the house that lays three eggs sometimes lays two eggs and sometimes three eggs. I made three of them for him, and the three of them should have no eggs to eat after a while.
"You need to make up more, at least two eggs a day from now on, it doesn't matter if we eat one less meal." Liu Yu said: "There is a fair today, mother said to go to the fair to buy eggs, we will have some to eat tomorrow, You can eat at ease."
Some of these eggs were bought and saved for breakfast, and some of them were waiting for twenty-eight stews to be made into tiger skin eggs and stewed together, which doubled the taste.
Hearing this, Li Qingshan felt relieved, picked up the fried egg and asked the willow fish to take a bite first, then quickly started eating. The scallion pancakes are rich in scallions and crispy in the mouth, the steamed eggs are tender and smooth, and the corn porridge with salty and spicy pickles is also very good with rice.
After a quick breakfast, Li Qingshan pulled the cart to go out.
Liu Yu stuffed a pair of thin gloves into his pocket, "When waiting for customers, if you are afraid of getting dirty cotton gloves, you should wear this pair first and then the cotton gloves, these are easy to wash." This is when he came back from the county yesterday
. Came out in the afternoon.
Li Qingshan was ironed in his heart, kissed Liu Yu and went out.
Liu Yu still watched him until he was out of sight before going back to the house to do her own work.
There are many things at home today, the first thing is to take the money and go to the tofu seller at the entrance of the village to order tofu. Tofu is eaten on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month to show frugality and poverty.
Liu Yu passed Uncle Li's house, saw Li Lerong outside, and asked him if he wanted to go.
Li Lerong nodded, entered the room and greeted Liu Guiying, then followed Liu Yu with the sack containing beans.
To buy tofu in the village, you can either give two cents or one yuan for one piece of tofu, or two catties of beans for one piece of tofu. It seems that people with a lot of land can usually set aside one mu of land, and keep beans, millet, and peanuts for their own food. Or change the oil.
But Li Qingshan's family doesn't have much land, and they have grown the rations they often eat, so they can only buy it with money.
Liu Yu often came to buy tofu, and he was very familiar with Liang Fulang, who sold tofu. Liang Fulang's husband's family name was also Li, so Liu Yu and Li Lerong had to call him sister-in-law according to their seniority.
Seeing them coming together, Liang Fulang said, "It's a fair today, you two didn't go to the stall?"
Liu Yu and Li Lerong sold youth groups at the Yangzhuang Fair before, and many people in the village have seen and bought them, he sees He can make a lot more money in a day from selling youth groups than he does from selling tofu.
Liu Yu smiled, and said: "The youth group business is not easy to do, so I won't go to the stall."
As more and more youth groups were sold in the market, Liu Yu made less and less money, and finally felt that there was something wrong with it. That effort is not as cost-effective as embroidering an extra handkerchief, so I don't go out to the stall anymore.
Hearing this, Liang Fulang felt a little more balanced, and said enthusiastically, "How much tofu do you want?" The
tofu maker also stopped grinding until the twenty-eighth year, so there were quite a few people hoarding tofu in the past two days. It was all given to Mo Sanniang as a reward, so the exchange is not much, only five catties, a little to eat today, and a dish for the New Year.
The willow fish ordered ten catties, and Cong Chunhua told him to save it for making frozen tofu, saying that it tasted different from eating tofu directly.
The two paid the deposit and went back, Li Lerong said angrily: "Look at how happy he was when he heard that our Youth League business could no longer continue, he looked like he was gloating!
" The parents are very sensitive. Seeing his angry appearance, Liu Yu couldn't help laughing, and coaxed him: "We know whether life is good or bad. You see, the more he feels that we are not doing well, the more he treats us. The friendlier you are."
That's not true, just now Liang Fulang enthusiastically asked them to get some soy milk before leaving, it's not like that in the past, but he and Brother Liu Yu didn't want to owe favors, so they didn't ask for it.
Li Lerong pursed his lips, and the boss was still upset, "I'm just mad at him like that!"
As for Liang Fulang's pettiness, Liu Yu could probably guess it. In the beginning, it was nothing more than Liu Yu's jelly business for a few days that hindered his sales. Tofu, after all, the villagers are thrifty, if they buy this kind of tofu one day, they will definitely not buy another one. Later, Liu Yu sold the youth league to make money and robbed him of the limelight that he married with his craftsmanship and could earn money for his in-laws. He probably felt a little dissatisfied in his heart.
However, as long as he doesn't cause trouble and doesn't tear his face, he will be fooled by the villagers.
