Chapter 60: Prosperity
Chapter 60: Prosperity
The people in Shanglin Village looked at Lin Dajiang's family as if they had seen some plague god.
This family of lazy people is really whimsical. They really think that everyone can do business.
Don't lose money when the deal fails.
Don't ask them to borrow money!
Looking at their listless, dejected and miserable appearance, stay away from them quickly.
When he got home, Lin Dajiang was very slow in opening the lock.
After the whole family came in and the door was closed, everyone had a smile on their face.
Lin Jingzhe ran to the main room with copper coins in his arms.
Lin Dajiang unloaded the cart, and Lin Xiaoman and Li Taohua took the two children to the main room to count the money together.
Lin Jingzhe in the east: "One, two, three... seventy-eight, seventy-nine..."
Li Taohua in the west: "One, two... fifty-three, fifty-four..."
Lin Jingzhe counted loudly to himself, "One hundred and fifty-six, one hundred and fifty-seven..."
Li Taohua counted more and more, becoming more and more excited. "One hundred and thirty-eight, one hundred, one hundred, how many?"
Lin Xiaoman: "One hundred and thirty-nine."
Li Taohua continued counting, and wrinkles were almost appearing on her face.
A total of six hundred and twenty-six copper coins were collected today!
Li Taohua couldn't believe it.
How can you earn so much in a day?
She hugged Lin Xiaoman and said, "Son, am I dreaming?"
Lin Xiaoman narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Mom, the price of the pork has to be deducted from the price of the meat, and the other ingredients also cost a lot of money. In addition, Dad and brother caught the fish, and Mom and I cooked the food, which all took time."
"What's the use of some effort and time?"
Li Taohua just smiled foolishly, "Then calculate, minus the expenses, how much did our family earn today?"
Xiaoman randomly estimated a number, "It's five hundred yuan."
Li Taohua slapped her thigh and said, "Xiao Man, that's half a dollar!"
Lin Xiaoman nodded, "Mom, our family will build a big house, and my eldest brother will definitely marry a beautiful sister-in-law..."
Li Taohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her eyelids twitched a few times. She pointed at Xiaoman and patted him lightly a few times. "What are you talking about, little girl? You are the same age as Jingzhe. Girls need to meet each other earlier..."
"Oh, mother, I get it! I won't get married. Please support me for the rest of my life!" Lin Xiaoman ran out of the hall with a smile and ran into Lin Dajiang head-on.
She called out "Dad" and ran away, leaving Lin Dajiang, who had no idea what was going on, asking in confusion, "What's wrong? Is the money wrong?"
Li Taohua pouted, "Xiaoman is becoming more and more outrageous."
There was disgust in her words, but Li Taohua's mouth was almost stretched to her ears.
Lin Dajiang just listened and said, "It's better to be a little more lively. It looks more lively."
-
In the afternoon, Lin Dajiang and his family took a nap.
At night, Lin Dajiang and Lin Jingzhe went fishing in the dark as usual.
Li Taohua marinated the wild boar meat given by her parents, and Lin Xiaoman prepared the sauce for the smoked fish.
Lin Xiaoman thought about it again and again and decided to try out some green jelly with cucumbers.
If everyone can accept it, she will go back and study it and try other colors.
After Lin Dajiang and Lin Jingzhe came back from fishing, the family quickly washed up and went to bed.
When the hour of Chou arrived, Lin Dajiang and Li Taohua woke up, and Lin Jingzhe and Lin Xiaoman went out with them.
It was a dark sky, but when the oil lamp was lit, my heart instantly felt at ease.
Lin Dajiang was busy killing and cleaning the fish.
Lin Xiaoman asked Lin Jingzhe to wash the cucumbers, peel them, and beat them in the basin with a rolling pin.
Although Lin Jingzhe didn't know what Xiaoman was going to do, he still did as he was told.
Lin Xiaoman went to make frozen dishes.
By the time she had finished rubbing the magnolia seeds, Lin Jingzhe had already mashed the cucumber peels.
Lin Xiaoman poured out the green juice and left the remaining cucumber peel residue aside to feed the chickens later.
She poured the juice back and forth in the bowl, but in fact she was filtering out the remaining residue.
The green ice-cold stuff was just a test run. She didn’t dare make too much for fear of waste, so she used a small bucket.
After Lin Xiaoman rubbed out all the pectin in the magnolia seeds, she poured the green cucumber juice into a small bucket.
Lin Jingzhe didn't ask any more questions, thinking that there must be a reason why Xiaoman did this.
After finishing everything, she took two pieces of gauze, wrapped both the big bucket and the small bucket, and immersed them in two basins. She put a few ice cubes in each of them while Lin Jingzhe was not paying attention.
Then comes the smoked fish.
Lin Xiaoman explained to Li Taohua the precautions for frying smoked fish, and watched Li Taohua do the rest.
Li Taohua is a good cook and she is very skilled at frying a few pieces of fish.
After all, the older you are, the wiser you get. Lin Xiaoman let go completely. From now on, she only needs to make the sauce and leave the rest to her mother.
This time, there was no need to fry lard or make crispy pork, and the Lin family quickly made the smoked fish.
It took two hours for the ice to freeze into shape, and then the four of them returned to the house to take a nap.
At the end of the Yin hour, Li Taohua got up to prepare breakfast.
Lin Jingzhe set out to collect rabbit grass.
The family has been using up firewood quickly recently, so Lin Dajiang went to the foot of the mountain to collect firewood.
Lin Xiaoman dug up Guyu, put small clothes on Lidong, and fed the chickens together.
Breakfast is still white flour pancakes with scallion oil. The pancakes brushed with lard are loose and crispy and delicious.
The family went out after having breakfast, and arrived in town at Mao time.
Still in the old location, today it is my elder uncle and younger uncle who are selling mountain products.
"Big river, peach blossoms."
They heard their parents talk about peach blossoms and helped their sister to reserve a place early.
"Brother, I am your younger brother." Li Taohua wanted to say something, but as soon as she opened her mouth, someone came over.
"Give me a bowl of ice."
"I'll have a bowl too."
The stall hadn't been set up yet, but there were already four or five people holding bowls and urging them to order.
Li Taohua didn't have time to talk. She smiled and worked with Lin Dajiang.
Lin Xiaoman and Lin Jingzhe were arranging things, while Lin Guyu held Lidong's little hand tightly.
Li Shan and Li Zhu stepped forward to help, and with their combined efforts, they set up a simple stall.
The last man who wanted to buy frozen food yesterday finally showed up, and he was the first one in line.
When Lin Xiaoman saw him, she smiled, revealing her two little fangs.
"Uncle, we have green jelly today. Do you want to try it? It tastes delicious."
"You still have green ones?" The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Then give me a bowl of green ones."
"okay!"
While waiting, the man pointed at the smoked fish and said, "Bring me half a pound of smoked fish."
Li Taohua took action immediately.
Lin Jingzhe collected the money, Lin Dajiang looked after the children and helped out, and the family was busy non-stop.
Li Shan was happy to see that his younger sister and brother-in-law's business was indeed booming.
Mountain products are selling better than before, and a lot of them are sold without much shouting.
Li Zhu was busy collecting money, hoping that he could sell more mountain products.
I wish my family could be as prosperous as my sister’s!
