Views:

Erniu’s negotiations in Guanshuilou were very successful. Not only did they sell the hot sauce, they also made another deal with Guanshuilou, that is, some new dishes that require hot sauce will appear on Zhuangzi from time to time. One kind, Guanshui Tower will cost a sum of money, and they have to look for guarantees from someone who is arrogant.

When the shopkeeper invited me to dinner, he ordered the first "Carrots Braised in Sauce" on the spot. Not only did I need to pay for the dishes, but I also bought carrots and hot sauce from the Zhuangzi, which were not sold elsewhere.

The price of carrots is relatively cheap. It costs five cents per catty, and the price of sauce is slightly more expensive. After all, there is meat in it, twelve cents per catty.

As soon as the Guanshuilou talked, Er Niu and Da Niu went to the Baiwei Pavilion next to them. This time they didn’t even see the shopkeeper. They were sent out directly by the steward in the lobby. The two of them were not in a hurry. In line with the calculation of the young man, when the dishes in Guanshuilou are sold, Baiweige will ask for it, and the price will be different at that time.

After the two sold the sauce, they found a poorly-run restaurant in Sanshui County, and used the silver to plate it directly. The original owner did not drive away. He invited to take charge of the store later. Once the store was implemented, it was not shipped out that day. A few carts of carrots were delivered to the store, the previous dishes were unchanged, and eight new carrot soup dishes were added.

After finishing all these tasks, Daniel and Erniu were finally able to relax. They stayed in the room behind the store and waited two days before going back. The dozens of kilograms of chili sauce brought in this time was enough for Guanshuilou to sell. God, after I go back, there are new things for them to do.

In Tuqiao Village, the construction site of Zhangjiazhuangzi is also in full swing at the moment. The people on the village are digging hard. Just after eating, they still rested for less than a quarter of an hour after Zhang Xiaobao's repeated requests.

Zhang Xiaobao was afraid that they would be too full to eat, and they would have troubles. They were rolled with shredded pork and green onion pancakes. They were really two bites. The boiled bones were fished out and dipped in garlic sauce. , The greasy soup, sprinkled with chopped green onion and coriander, slurping, half a bowl can be drunk in one mouthful.

Both Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were slanderous, and in the end they couldn’t help themselves. They ordered a large bowl of soup, broke the cakes and put them in for soaking. The broken ones were smaller than their nails, as were coriander and green onions, etc. It's cold and cold, and then only one person drank it one sip.

It is precisely because there is soup to drink that Zhang Xiaobao is not so worried about the people who will be working, and the soup will be directly discharged when the time comes.

Xiao Hong followed to eat at the side, and was responsible for getting bone marrow for the two young boys. A soft bone marrow was pricked out with chopsticks and slightly dipped in salt. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan tasted right, with a little greasy taste. With a bit of bone fragrance and a bit of fishy, it will feel more comfortable in your mouth. The main thing is not to be afraid of getting your teeth off.

"It's delicious, it's fragrant when people eat more. This bone is good, Xiao Hong, remember, don't throw away the bones you have eaten."

Zhang Xiaobao ate two bone marrows, and stopped eating, fearing that he would be nauseous after eating too much, so he greeted Xiao Hong again.

"I know, young man, I will save all the food after this meal. I can cook it in the evening. I can't dig the pond in a day. At noon tomorrow, I will put some new bones and continue to eat." Xiao Hong seemed to have. Experience.

When the other people who were eating heard it, they nodded, not to mention working for Zhuangzi, the same is true for their own homes, they would be content to have a meal with the little son and the cuckoo lady.

"That's not what I meant." Wang Juan stopped and said, "Xiaobao means that the bones are left behind, and they can be ground into powder by then. They can do many things, such as feeding chickens, fattening the ground, raising earthworms, etc. Wait, my Zhuangzi is not bad for someone else's meal, and I have to make a new meal in the evening."

As soon as this was said, the expressions of the dealer on the Zhuangzi were different. I didn’t expect that the little lady and the little boy were so benevolent. The villagers were honest and would not say anything nice. They could only write down the words of the two children and wait for them to do well in the future. Do things.

Naturally, Xiaohong would not persuade him anymore. The money for the meals was all from the little son's own warehouse. The little son was not afraid of spending more, and she was willing to let the farmer eat well.

The children who fished for the river snails also ate with them. The children’s stomachs are small, and they are not as good as adults when they are eaten freely. The little bellies that ate one by one are round and round, and they still want to eat, but they can’t eat anymore. They can only watch. Something is in a hurry.

"If you can't eat it, don't eat it, it should be broken." Xiaohong took the children's oil paper to pack them according to their appetite, a little more, and the children could not eat if they wanted to come back. They were all given to the family.

One of the little children named Erzi nodded helplessly, "I don't want to eat more. It's best to eat tomorrow's lunch too. I won't eat it tonight and take it back to my sister."

"It will be fine, and life will be better in the future." Zhang Xiaobao clicked his mouth and said lightly. Only Wang Juan knew how determined he was when he said this.

The farmer continued to work, and Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan returned to their homes to start exercising. The children’s bones were soft and had not fully grown. They couldn’t do too violent running and jumping movements. They could only adapt a little bit. The only advantage was that the children recovered quickly. I was too tired to speak that day, and the next day was also alive and well.

Today, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are going to exercise Gulu. Let Xiaohong bring a blanket and spread the floor, and he and he will roll back and forth on it. This can also exercise a lot of places. The outside is too wet to go out. Sandy.

"Xiaobao, rest for a while and talk about the matter. I'm all lost." Wang Juan turned over, leaned against Zhang Xiaobao, and stopped dangling.

"Say what?" Zhang Xiaobao was also sweating.

"I think Zhuangzi's road to the outside world is not easy to follow. Should I spend some money to repair roads? Change always starts with your side, so that people on Zhuangzi can feel this and cultivate cohesion." Wang Juan reached out and took Xiaoxiao. Red handed the water and said with a sip.

"I have no money. I still have the money I earned. I still have to buy rice and noodles. I will be harvesting wheat in one month. I have to buy more. Can the family land and the hundreds of households be kept? Look at it this time."

Zhang Xiaobao refused without even thinking about it. The road can be repaired at any time. If the food cannot be bought, he has a big action to exchange for the location of the house. When harvesting food, he needs the cooperation of the King Zhang family.

"Forget it, let the cherry collect some duck eggs and goose eggs tomorrow. Since we want to raise them, we will get some out." Wang Juan bypassed this matter and figured it out.

Zhang Xiaobao also nodded, "Yes, we must raise all of them, especially ducks. By the beginning of spring next year, there should be thousands of ducks. I see who dares to take our land, take a bath, and get some sleep."

This is considered a temporary end to the topic. Xiaohong has already prepared hot water over there, put the two children in to wash off the sweat on their bodies, hugged them on the collapsible, covered the belly button with a blanket, and she could sit at the door and read and read. .

At night, Song Jinggong finally came back with a lot of soybeans. As soon as he entered the area of Zhuangzi, he saw someone pulling carrots out, picking up carrots from truck to truck, not knowing where they were going to be transported, so he stopped him when he was curious. A person asked: "Where is it going?"

"Xinping City, put it there. After a few days, there will be people over there to buy it and sell it directly without delay." A car steward knew Song Jinggong and was deceived by the little boy. Juren who does things for Zhuangzi.

"Oh, how much do you plan to sell?" Song Jinggong was not strange to this, so she wanted to know the price.

"One catty and five cents, Erniu has been sold in Sanshui County, and it appears to have been sold, otherwise Erniu will rush back in a hurry."

"How much? Five cents per catty? So I sold it cheaply?" Song Jinggong was a little dumbfounded. He thought that it was so expensive to cheat other people to sell. How could he think of turning around in the hands of the young man, and it would have risen so much, stunned. It was sold for half a price.

It was really amazing, how could it be sold? Before he could figure it out, the car continued to talk about it.

"The little son said, these are not easy to preserve. Leave the slightly better ones. Make a cellar and put them in. Wait until the winter sells ten cents a catty, and there are few vegetables in the winter. Everyone eats fresh."

Song Jinggong didn't know what came back to the yard. His heart was already taken over by piles of copper coins. If he couldn't fit it, he would replace it with silk and white flowers. Anyway, it was mostly money.

Before I went in, I saw the two young masters eating and drinking with a group of farmers. Because the farmers were doing a lot of work, Zhang Xiaobao was afraid that they would suddenly get tired. Tomorrow he would feel uncomfortable, especially when he stepped on the muddy ground. The stagnant water has not passed people's feet.

Going back to get sick easily, I specially asked Xiaohong to prepare some wine. Everyone drank two bowls of wine while eating. The temperature of the wine with ginger shreds was good, and it would help to speed up blood circulation.

This salary is too high. There is wine and meat, and the people in the farm are warm when they eat it. If Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan disagree that they will continue to work at night, they will all want to light a torch and continue digging. This meal How much do you get? All of them don't want wages anymore.

"Little son, how did you sell the carrot you mentioned? At first, I thought I was deceiving a penny and a catty. Did you find someone who was good to deceive?" Song Jinggong didn't care whether others drank or not. Just figure it out before you get close.

"Why cheat? Carrots are good at first. When you sell them to others, you can teach them how to cook. When everyone knows how to eat, the food is naturally expensive. Besides, carrots are good for the body and taste good after eating them. ."

Zhang Xiaobao wanted to change Song Jinggong's idea of trying to deceive first when he encountered things. When Song Jinggong came back, he must have not eaten dinner, and greeted him again.

"Zijin is exhausted in the past few days, quickly, eat while it is hot, there are many people, it is lively, Xiaohong, get Zijin some meat, dip it in garlic sauce and eat it, just in time for wine."

While speaking, he gave way to Wang Juan to make room for Song Jinggong. As for Song Jinggong's willingness or not, regardless of whether he can eat with the dealer, what about him
