Chapter 41 Don’t worry

Pomegranate used kudzu root to make powder similar to sweet potato powder, which spread throughout the Li clan that evening.

That night, Mrs. Song and the others went back to their old house, and Father Li and the others were waiting for them in the main room.

"Pomegranate, I heard that you made powder from kudzu root?"

"No, we have sweet potato flour for this. We sell kudzu for a lot of money, but you don't sell it, but you use it to mess around. Isn't it a waste?"

Father Li called out the pomegranate and came over and it crackled. He was so anxious that he thought the second brother's family had sent the kudzu root to be sold. Unexpectedly, they didn't sell it and they still kept the pomegranate for messing around with!

How much is sweet potato flour worth? How can it compare to selling kudzu root for a penny or two pounds?

This kid is fooling around!

Pomegranate was scolded, and she lowered her head, pretending to be educated and aware of her mistakes. What could she say? No matter what, she would make this kudzu powder.

When Mrs. Song saw this, she opened her mouth. Although she was also afraid of her father-in-law, she bravely protected her daughter, "Dad, this kudzu root powder is really good! Isn't kudzu root a medicine? Is it good for your health if you eat this powder? Is pomegranate still good? I said, when these are dried, I will put a bag for you, my parents, so that you can eat them every day!"

Father Li was so angry that he said, "We are in good health and don't need to eat! You are selling it for money! How good is it for selling it? Listen to me, don't let the pomegranates mess around. The remaining kudzu will be sent to be sold tomorrow!"

Mrs. Song nodded in agreement, and after dealing with it, Father Li quickly escaped.

When he went to the homestead early the next morning, he told Li Jihe that he had to talk to Father Li about this matter.

Li Jihe thought for a while, if his father was hiding everything for them, he would definitely be angry, but he couldn't tell the truth. For example, he couldn't tell anything about the God of Wealth!

Therefore, when Li Jihe took advantage of Father Li's worries and came to the homestead to watch them deliver kudzu to the market, he pulled him aside and said mysteriously: "Dad, I'll tell you about this." You, please don’t tell anyone!”

Father Li was confused, "What's the matter?"

"Pomegranate is making this kudzu powder for no other reason than to use this kudzu powder to make food and do business!"

"Doing business?" Father Li was surprised when he heard this, "Doing food business? Is this possible? Where have we ever done business? What kind of food can be sold for money? You still need capital, right? Don't lose money later!"

Don't blame him for his reaction. The old Li family has been farming for generations, how can they do anything in the food business? If you can sell any food for money, then wouldn’t everyone in the town be able to sell food and make money?
Li Jihe said: "Dad, please believe my son, if you keep the food made by Pomegranate, you can sell it for money! It was the old man who kindly saved Jishang who told her this recipe specifically to thank Pomegranate!" "

Um! Even if you are an old man, the God of Wealth is also an old man.

Dad Li's eyes widened when he heard this, "Is this happening?" Although he muttered that the old man was so blind and generous that he was willing to use his own secret recipe to repay the life-saving grace, but it was his granddaughter who benefited, so he did not say that the other party was stupid. Come on!
only--

"Is this food recipe really reliable? It won't cost much, right?"

Li Jihe didn't know how much money it would cost, but Shiliu had nine coins in his pocket, but he didn't need to tell his father about this, so as not to scare him.

"It won't cost anything! Just this kudzu powder, how much can it cost?"

When Father Li heard that he only needed kudzu powder, he was relieved, and then nodded and said: "Okay! Then we can make this food! What if we can really sell it for money! It will also be an income!"

There is not much money left after the second son's house is built, and Brother Brown is getting engaged, so he needs money to spend!
It is naturally a good thing to have an income to make some money!
"Don't worry, your father and I keep my mouth shut! I won't let you know anything about this business before it's done! Let the pomegranate be cooked well!" Li Jihe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his father had been stabilized. , hurriedly responded.

From then on, Father Li didn't say anything. Although the clan members were curious about how Li Jihe and his wife could allow Pomegranate to make powder of kudzu root that could be sold for money, they couldn't say much.

I'm a bit thoughtful, thinking that this kudzu root is a medicinal material, and maybe it can be sold for money if it is made into powder?

I wonder if you can sell more?
After all, just selling kudzu root costs one penny or two pounds, and it takes a lot of trouble to make it into powder.

So, the industrious one asked her mother's house to help dig out a few kudzu roots and bring them to her. She also used the method of sweet potato flour to make powder from the kudzu root and then sell it at the market. look.

This matter is really not difficult. In the past two days, Chang Pharmacy has told me that they have harvested enough kudzu and will not harvest any more this year.

No, there are many villages in Shiliba that have not finished digging the kudzu root. They will not be collected at the market. They have been dug up. If my daughter wants it, just give it to her to play with. There is no more kudzu in my village, so why not? As for the natal family with a daughter-in-law, if there is another way to make money, the daughter will tell them!

For a while, there were quite a few people in the Li clan who followed the trend of making kudzu powder.

This makes the pomegranate that is busy making kudzu powder not so eye-catching.

As the days passed, the Pomegranate family processed thousands of kilograms of kudzu root one by one to make powder and dried it. They also collected the kudzu root powder that had been dried before.

Seeing that their new house was completed, Li Jihe specially invited Mr. Li to come and take a look inside and outside. He received satisfactory praise from Mr. Li, and then he helped him choose a house. On the auspicious day of the zodiac, prepare to enter the fire.

During this period, the Shiliu family returned to the old house to help, helping arrange the wedding banquet in the big room, and happily married Li Rongbai's new wife into the house.

Of course, the family has been divided. In addition to helping as an uncle and aunt, Li Jihe also gave his nephew a share of the money when he got married.

The money rules for members of Xiahe Village, including the eight villages within ten miles, are pretty much the same. Generally, people from the same village drink wine for between five and twenty coins, depending on the depth of their friendship, while for people from the same clan, it costs between twenty and sixty coins. Between texts, we also look at relationships and kinship.

As for relatives, such as maternal aunt's family, etc., there are more.

This time, Li Jihe gave Dafang two taels of silver as his share. After all, these were full brothers.

Nowadays, when a new house is going to be built, a banquet must be prepared, and before the banquet, a banquet must be prepared and the clan members who come to help have a good meal. The two banquets combined will cost a lot of money.

Li Jihe and Mrs. Song were grabbing the money in their hands, and they were really worried.

After the new house was built, the homestead cost three ounces of silver, and the six brick and tile houses and three mud tile houses cost a total of seven ounces of silver. The total wages earned by the master and apprentice bricklayers were also nearly two ounces of silver.

In addition, during this period, they spent a lot of money on food, meat and other expenses. Now they only have two hangings of silver left in their hands.

The money is really not enough!

Even if I ask for the nine pieces of silver in my daughter's hand, it won't be enough!
Shiliu looked at her worried parents and couldn't help but share her worries: "Mom and dad, don't worry, two ounces of silver is enough to treat the clan members to a meal. Let's take care of it first. As for the flowers for the banquet, it's not an auspicious day to enter the fire. Look at the eighteenth day of the winter lunar month? There are still several days to go before now. I will start making candies tomorrow. Once they are done, I will sell them first. If I sell them, I will get money. Don’t worry!"
