Throw soybeans directly into the fire and they will pop. They taste quite fragrant. Even if you throw rice in, you can make popcorn.
However, the rice grains are small after all, and they may burn directly.
Li Damao and Li Ermao were not interested in soybeans at first, but when Li Qingzhi really started to roast them, they liked them and scrambled to eat them, even eating themselves into little cats.
Li Qingzhi watched them with a smile and did not stop them even though they got their clothes dirty.
Children need to be lively to be cute.
Thinking of this, Li Qingzhi threw another soybean into his mouth.
The soybeans he ate were picked by Zhao Xiaodou.
Zhao Xiaodou was the oldest, so he picked up the most soybeans.
He wanted to share the soybeans with Li Damao and Li Ermao, but was stopped by Li Qingzhi.
Li Qingzhi took away half of the soybeans from his hand and let him eat the rest himself, not allowing him to give it to Li Damao and Li Ermao.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaodou went to pick up some soybeans and brought them back to Li Qingzhi.
Li Qingzhi accepted it.
Eating too much soybeans will cause bloating, so it is better for children to eat less. But it is different for him, it is okay for him to eat a lot!
These soybeans are so delicious!
Seeing Li Qingzhi and his three children eating soybeans, Li Laogen was extremely envious, but he couldn't join in - his teeth were not good and he could no longer chew the soybeans!
In the end, Li Laogen could only mutter a few words: "Children who play with fire will wet the bed at night!"
Li Qingzhi said: "Just wet the bed, it's not a big deal."
"Ah Qing, are you spoiling your child too much?" Li Laogen said sourly: "Don't spoil your child!"
Li Qingzhi: “…” This is what you call spoiling a child
The person Jin Xiaoye invited to help harvest the rice was from Miaoqian Village, also with the surname Jin, and was Jin Xiaoye's relative.
Jin Xiaoye made an agreement with them that as long as they harvested all six acres of land and threshed the rice, he would give them three taels of silver.
Three taels of silver is not a small amount of money, so the whole family mobilized and helped the Li family harvest half of the land and harvest the rice in just one day.
They did their job very efficiently. Li Qingzhi liked them very much, so he asked Li Laogen to cook a pot of mung bean soup for them.
They hired people to harvest the rice but didn't provide any meals, so the mung bean soup was an extra benefit.
There is no sugar in the mung bean soup, so the cost is actually very low, but the family was very happy after drinking it and felt that Li Qingzhi was kind.
The villagers saw this and were envious: "The Li family is really rich now!"
"Yes, not only did they spend three taels of silver to hire someone to harvest the rice, but they also gave them green bean soup to drink."
"I heard that Jin Xiaoye can earn two coins a day!"
"I've heard that too. It's said there's more."
"Jin Xiaoye is really amazing."
"She was originally a capable girl. How many people wanted to marry her!"
"Li Qingzhi is so lucky!"
"Yes! He was gone for five years, and Jin Xiaoye helped him keep the family together and even gave birth to two sons for him!"
"Jin Xiaoye is also lucky. She was able to do business because Li Qingzhi received fifty taels of silver as compensation from the Hong family."
"Yes, Li Qingzhi is so good to children. There is no one in our village who loves children more than Li Qingzhi!"
…
Of course, not everyone was speaking well of the Li family. Yao Zumin brought up the fact that Li Qingzhi’s arm might not heal properly.
