After being forced to marry a butcher

Chapter 72

The two played the paper kites all afternoon, feeling very uncomfortable.

When I was tired from running, I sat by the stream and played water floats.

How can Liu Yu be a match for a strong man? Li Qingshan said that if he wants to act like a baby, he will let him. Liu Yu didn't like it, stood up and rolled up his sleeves to throw it farther than Li Qingshan.

Tired of playing, seeing no one around, Liu Yu leaned her head on Li Qingshan's shoulder.

Li Qingshan tilted his head and rubbed against the top of his hair, grabbed one of his hands and clasped his fingers tightly.

At the moment when her fingers were clasped, Liu Yu bent her eyes and smiled, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Li Qingshan, "It's such a good day."...

Then

two days of preparations for the opening of the shop, and in a blink of an eye, three days On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Li Qingshan got up early and killed two pigs.

In fact, they don't even have enough money to pay for the two pigs, but when March came, the three girls who learned embroidery made up the monthly payment for the previous three months, and paid another full month of March. Mrs. Guan gave them all the seven hundred and fifty Wen she got, so that they would have enough money at once.

Most people who get up early don't like to eat big meat, and most of them cut their meat for lunch or dinner when they go home. It was warm in spring, and people got up early and went to the streets earlier, so the two of them set the daily opening time of the shop at around Chenshizhong (eight o'clock), and adjusted it later when it was cold in winter.

The shop will be open in Chenshi, so Li Qingshan has to get up at 9 o'clock (five o'clock) to kill pigs every day. Thanks to his skill in butchering pigs is getting more and more proficient now, a pig can be cleaned up in half an hour, otherwise, if he kills two pigs every day , I feel that I really don't get enough sleep.

After killing the pigs, Li Qingshan took the mule out of the mule shed, put it on a cart, and loaded all the slaughtered pork onto the cart, washed his hands with acacia several times carefully, and went to eat.

The salted duck eggs have been marinated for more than a month, and it's time to eat them. As March 31 passed, Cong Chunhua hurriedly fished it out and gave it to the family to taste.

Before pickling, she asked a lot of experienced people in the village. On the day Cong's big cousin's maid Xisan went to have a banquet, she also asked about it in Cong's village.

Based on her experience as a cook, combined with this information she learned from the older generation. In the end, she used three methods to marinate the thirty duck eggs.

One is to add salt and marinate in yellow mud, the other is to soak duck eggs in wine and then wrap them in salt to marinate, and the third is to put duck eggs in salt water added with white wine. However, this salt water was conceived by Cong Chunhua herself, adding a little star anise, Chinese prickly ash and other spices to boil the juice, and adding salt and white wine.

Facts have proved that the third method marinates the best taste, with sandy oil, tender egg whites, translucent yolk and red hearts, very dense taste, and no fishy smell at all.

This morning, I drank rice porridge, and Liu Yu scooped up two salted duck eggs and boiled them. I didn't dare to cut them before dinner, for fear that the oil would run off.

After Li Qingshan settled down, Liu Yu peeled off the salted duck egg of the two of them, then put it on the pancake in Li Qingshan's hand, and cut it in the middle with a knife.

In this way, all the oil in the salted duck eggs flows onto the pancakes, without any waste.

Li Qingshan gave Liuyu the half with more egg yolk, and poked the yolk of the half salted duck egg in his hand to him. "

"Then I will eat white, you will eat yellow." Li Qingshan said.

Liu Yu's eyes were slightly bent, and he tilted his head and asked him: "Who doesn't know that egg yolk is delicious?"

This is because he made up his mind not to, Li Qingshan looked at Liu Yu helplessly, Liu Yu turned his head and raised his chin slightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth I can't hold it back, and I seem to be a little proud.

He often said that Li Qingshan was childish, and at this moment he didn't know what he was like.

Li Qingshan's chopsticks were still poking at the half of the egg yolk, he turned his head and glanced at Cong Chunhua and Mrs. Guan, both of them quickly covered the bowls and waved their hands to tell him to eat by himself.

Li Qingshan felt a little pity, a duck egg, the yolk of the duck egg is so little. Such a delicious and delicate thing, told him to eat such a rough man, he always felt a little distressed.

However, this salted duck egg tastes really good when paired with white rice porridge. The salty egg white and egg yolk paired with the lightness of white porridge, the taste is just right.

And the shallots planted in February are ready to eat. The willow fish is baked in the morning and put a lot of shallot leaves in the scallion pancakes. Spread some sauce and roll some crispy and refreshing lettuce leaves to neutralize it, it will be even more delicious.

Cong Chunhua sipped the duck eggs with chopsticks and put them in her mouth to taste, while happily boasting to herself: "The salted duck eggs I made are really delicious, better than last time..."

Cong Chunhua wanted to say about Du Yulan , when she brought willow fish to deliver jelly before, Du Yulan once brought her a salted duck egg as a gift in return.

However, when the words came to her lips, she was afraid that her son would not be happy when he heard the name, so she changed the subject and said, "Anyway, it's more delicious than those sold outside!" The whole family laughed,

Liu Yu cheered, "Mother's cooking is delicious! "

The old lady Guan also said it was delicious, which greatly boosted Cong Chunhua's confidence, "After that, we will make it according to this method and sell it in the shop?"

Liu Yu nodded and smiled, "But we don't have so much money in our hands. Wait for the shop to make some more money."

He is confident that he can sell the salted duck eggs made by Cong Chunhua, but the matter of the shop has not been sorted out yet, and this matter has to be put aside later. .

"You're right." Cong Chunhua became nervous again when he mentioned the shop that was about to open today, and said silently: "Amitabha, the Jade Emperor blesses you." After dinner and returning to the house,

Liu Yu found better clothes for Li Qingshan to change into. Today is the first day the shop opens, so you have to dress decently, lest people look down upon you.

There are no buttons for clothes in spring, but Liu Yu still likes to help Li Qingshan tidy his clothes. While helping Li Qingshan tie his belt, he said: "I need to comb my hair again.

" Eight out of ten times when I comb my hair, I can't straighten it out smoothly, and it's over when I put it together.

In the past, he could do what he could, but today is a special day, and it is a new beginning in a sense. Liu Yu always wants to tidy up for him.

Today is the first day of opening, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu got up much earlier than usual. There is still enough time, after getting dressed, Li Qingshan sat down, and Liu Yu began to comb his hair.

His hair is much thicker, because now every time after washing his hair, Willow will hold him down, telling him to comb his hair patiently and then tie it back up. So the hair is much smoother and recombs are quicker.

After combing her hair, Liu Yu looked at the handsome dog in the bronze mirror, smiled, bent over and hugged Li Qingshan's neck from behind, kissed him on the side of the cheek, and said: "It looks good. "

Li Qingshan is so beautiful, he turned his head and rubbed Liu Yu's nose.

Liu Yu understood, kissed him twice, and asked him: "Is Boss Li ready?"

...

At this time of year, the most important job in the field is to grow cotton.

But as soon as March entered, many people were already busy, and today it is the sixth day of March. It has been several days, and no matter how much land there is (only half an acre of cotton is allowed for every ten mu of land), the work of growing cotton is almost too busy.

Therefore, the people in the village have nothing to do today, and those who have a good relationship with Li Qingshan's family and have contacts, make an appointment in twos and threes to go to the county town to see the butcher shop opened by Li Qingshan and Liu Yu, to cheer them up, and to visit the county town along the way , Buy some things that are missing at home.

These people had to walk, so they started early, when Li Qingshan and Liu Yu drove the mule cart to the county town, they met many acquaintances along the way.

"Hey, Brother Yu, won't your mother and your grandma go on such a big day?" Along the way, these aunts and aunts saw that there were only the two of them in the mule cart, and this was the question they asked the most.

Li Qingshan pulled the reins and told the mule to walk a little slower, Liu Yu smiled and replied: "Go, they spend money on the official road to ride in someone else's mule cart, and it's right behind us.

" Really. The cart in Li Qingshan's house is the kind commonly used for farm work in his village, but it is not as spacious and big as the one used by other people to solicit customers. There are two large baskets of pork on it, and there are iron pots and other miscellaneous things. thing. The mule still had the strength to pull two more people, but the cart was too small and there was no place to put it in.

They laughed and said: "When you make money, change to a bigger one!"

The villagers in the village were so friendly, the smile on Liu Yu's face deepened, and he said, "Then I will lend you a good word."

When Liu Yu and the others arrived at the shop, Uncle Li, Li Qingjiang, Li Qinghe, and Dazhuang, who set off early and fast, not only arrived at the shop early to hang up the whip, but also pulled a piece of red cloth from somewhere to cover the plaque in front of the shop.

"It was suggested by the family in the oil workshop on the right. They said it was a bit of a gimmick to attract people. They also borrowed the red cloth."

After Li Qinghe finished speaking, Liu Yu quickly asked Li Qingshan to cut two catties of top-quality tenderloin, and they carried the meat to the oil shop on the right.

A few days ago when the shop was being repaired, Li Qingshan and Liu Yu had already visited the neighbors on the left and right with the meat.

On the left is a restaurant that sells some loose wine. The owner's surname is Hua, who is about the same age as Cong Chunhua. Because Liuyu and the others run a butcher shop, meat and wine complement each other and can promote each other's business, so they treat Liuyu very kindly. On the same day, Liu Yu and the others sent meat, and this family sent back a small jar of rice wine, and they are also very good at handling things.

To put it bluntly, they are all business people, as long as the products sold in the shop do not conflict, they will definitely make you passable on the surface. After all, peace makes money.

On the right is the oil shop that lent red cloth to them today. The owner is also a combination of Hanzi and Fulang, with a twenty-four-five. Among the shopkeepers on this street, they are quite young, and the oil shop has just been taken over from their parents.

The man's name is Wang Daxiang, he looks very strong, and he is a bit silly. Husband's name is Zhang Xiaofang, known as Brother Fang, he is as thin as a hemp stick, and he is quite agile and aggressive, and his daily catchphrase is Wang Daxiang, you want to smoke, right?

When Li Qingshan and Liu Yu came to visit that day, they happened to bump into Brother Fang holding Wang Daxiang's head and slapping him on the back, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

That day was that day, and the main reason for the door-to-door delivery of meat today is to thank others for their kind suggestions.

"Oh, what is this?" Liu Yu was good-looking, soft-spoken, and also a young brother. Brother Fang has a good impression of him, and has unilaterally regarded Liu Yu as a friend. He took the meat from Liu Yu, turned his head and shouted at the yard: "Wang Daxiang, didn't I tell you to find a whip? You die!" Where did you go?"

"Ghost knows where you put it!" Wang Daxiang retorted.

The yard here is not big at all, and they have two children, so things in the house are piled up everywhere.

"You!" Brother Fang was about to scold someone, when he suddenly remembered that Liu Yu was still here, it would be bad if Liu Yu thought he was a bad-tempered little brother and didn't become friends with him. Brother Fang suppressed his anger, turned his head and smiled, and took forty Wen to Liu Yu.

No willow fish, Fang Geer forced it to him, "How can I give it away before it opens

!"

When we arrived, Liuyu and the others had to go back to their own shop and prepare to open. Brother Fang took Liuyu's arm and sent them out, "Our two shops are next to each other, and the days are still long. A little busy, it's a matter of convenience, don't do this You're welcome!"

Liu Yu nodded slowly, feeling a little warm in her heart, as if since marrying Li Qingshan, his luck has improved, and all the people he met were good people.

And this good man, after sending Liu Yu and Li Qingshan back to the shop, angrily turned back to his own shop, "Wang Daxiang, are you looking for a smoke?" In front of my future good friend, this is a shame on me
