Chapter 19 The workshop started 3
When the father and son returned to the village entrance, they saw Li Ruying and his wife waiting under the big banyan tree. As soon as they saw them get off the car, they immediately ran down.

"Brother, why didn't you tell me when you came to the town? I already dried tens of catties of dried shrimps there." Because Li Wanqing's family was busy building a workshop, the last one didn't go today, and the shrimps dried by Li Ruying these days It has been stored at home.Originally, he thought he would sell it in the town, but he didn't know how to sell it, so he kept waiting for Li Rulin to come to pick it up, but he didn't see Li Rulin come to the door after waiting for two market days. He was annoyed and unwilling to say that Li Rulin's three children had gone to town early.

"That's right, uncle, didn't you say that you would sell all the dried shrimps in our house? How can you say nothing?" Gu said dissatisfied.

Li Wanqing was in a good mood, she stood aside without saying a word, just waiting for Li Rulin to finish the matter before going home.

Li Rulin talked to Li Ruying and his wife after paying the car fare: "Isn't this a hurry to leave? How much do you have now? Bring it here tomorrow and put it in my house for a night. On the market day, I will help you take it to the real place and sell it." gone."

"Okay, I'll send it to my elder brother's house tomorrow." Li Ruying responded quickly, not forgetting to tease Gu Shi who wanted to speak. His elder brother looks honest, but he is a very principled person. As long as everything is not excessive, he The eldest brother will not rest assured, if he steps on his bottom line, he can deny his relatives.

For the sake of Lin Shuirou, he was able to abandon the responsibility of the eldest son to separate the family, which is the best example.

Moreover, Li Rulin had taught him this shrimp in the first place, and he would not make Li Rulin unhappy if he gave him free money.

It wasn't until entering the gate that Li Ruying let go of Gu's hand.

"You're worthless, you'll be so happy if you earn such a little money." Gu pointed at Li Ruying's nose and cursed. The village asked for help, but did not see Lin Shuirou looking for her sister-in-law, they are close relatives.

The dried shrimps are so easily made by their family, it is definitely not profitable compared to the workshop, Gu thought bitterly.

"Long hair but short knowledge." Leaving this sentence behind, Li Ruying walked away.

"You—" Looking at Li Ruying's back, Gu stomped her feet angrily, but there was nothing she could do about Li Ruying.

On the surface, it seems that Li Ruying is doting on her, but in this family, Li Ruying decides many things.

"Mr. Gu, you are lazy, and you are lazy again. The bowls and chopsticks are still soaking in the basin at noon, so why don't you hurry up and wash them." Mrs. Gu's grievances have not dissipated yet, and Mrs. Deng's roar came from behind.

Gu Shi didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurried to the kitchen. She regretted it now, why didn't she stop Li Rulin from separating, and if Lin Shuirou didn't leave, she wouldn't be in such a mess now. To be scolded, I really don't know how Lin Shuirou endured it.

She already felt that she was about to be unable to bear Deng's nitpicking old woman, and she didn't know how long she could bear it.

Li Rulin didn't go home with Li Wanqing's siblings, but went to the village chief's house to discuss with him about supplying Huayuanju vegetables on the morning of the eighth day of the lunar new year.

After arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Li Muchen called out: "Mother, we are back."

Lin Shuirou, who was picking longevity fruits, saw the pair of sons and daughters coming back, and immediately gave the pair of sons and daughters a big and warm smile.

"I'm back, mother left some food for you, wash your hands and eat." This time, the father and three went to the market without any income, so they returned empty-handed, but for the farmers, eating meat once a month is already very good.

Even though the siblings returned empty-handed, Lin Shuirou didn't ask any more questions, but she didn't see Li Rulin coming back together, so she asked suspiciously: "Your father, why didn't you come back together?"

"Father went to the village chief's grandfather's house." Li Wanqing replied with a smile.

"Your father, do you have something to do with the village head uncle?"

"En." After wiping her hands, Li Wanqing took a bowl of vegetables out of the pot and put them back, before entering the room with the dishes, and Li Muchen followed behind with the bowls and chopsticks.

"Mother, our workshop can be opened. Let's see which aunt in the village is more reliable. Let's ask for help first. When the workshop grows bigger, we can hire again. The wages should be three Wen a day, including two meals." Li Wanqing sidelined While eating, I talked to Lin Shuirou about hiring people.

"Really, someone really sells the dried fruit and jam?" Lin Shuirou still couldn't believe it.

"Mother, it's true. Mr. Ouyang personally said that dried fruit and jam are [-] catties a month each." Li Muchen said vaguely with his mouth full of food.

But Lin Shuirou still heard clearly: "Each four or four hundred catties a month?"

After finishing the food in his mouth, Li Muchen threw another heavy bomb: "Thirty cents a catty."

'Bang' Lin Shuirou stood up excitedly, all the longevity fruits forward were scattered on the ground, and rolled around, but Lin Shuirou didn't care, she opened her mouth and looked at the pair of children in disbelief.

Li Wanqing smiled slightly and continued to eat, she had to give Lin Shuirou time to digest the shocking news for her.

After all, Li Muchen is still young, and he doesn't understand the twists and turns in the adult world. Seeing Lin Shuirou's surprised appearance, I shivered: "Mother, isn't my sister very powerful?"

Lin Shuirou just asked blankly: "Li Wanqing, is that Mr. Ouyang you mentioned really willing to buy your dried fruit and jam?"

Li Wanqing took out the contract in his arms and raised it in his hand: "Mother, this is the contract. Our dried fruit and jam can only be sold to Mr. Ouyang, not to other restaurants. If we breach the contract, we have to pay for it." 1000 taels of liquidated damages."

"One, 1000 taels?" Lin Shuirou was startled again.

"Yes, mother, so we can't tell anyone about the method of pickling dried fruit and jam in our family, not even the closest relatives, only the four of us know." Li Wanqing said seriously.

"Okay, mother won't tell me." 1000 taels, she can't pay it for a lifetime.

That afternoon, Lin Shuirou asked Aunt Fu next door and Luo Shi, the wife of Silly Li in the village, to help them. After receiving their answers, they made an appointment to start work after breakfast the next morning. .

And Li Rulin also discussed with the village head about the supply of green vegetables in Huayuanju. Now there are leafy vegetables, eggplants, cucumbers, beans and other seasonal vegetables in the fields. Eggplants, cucumbers, and beans can be put, just the day before. Pick it off at night and put it away. If the leafy vegetables stay overnight, the leaves will turn yellow, so just keep them and pick them at four o'clock the next morning.

Because there are not many vegetables grown for his own family, the village head calculated that eight households would have to pick vegetables a day to meet the requirement of [-] catties of vegetables. Distribute the income that each household deserves.

The next day, it started to rain lightly, but Aunt Fu and Luo Shi arrived at Li Wanqing's house on time, and Lin Shuirou was in charge of telling them how to clean the longevity fruit and select high-quality longevity fruits.

Li Wanqing was in charge of pickling the longevity fruit they picked, of course, the pickling would not start until the night after they got home.

Someone in the family is responsible for cleaning and selecting longevity fruits, and Li Rulin and his three sons go up the mountain to pick up longevity fruits with a basket on their backs. There is still a big gap between them and 200 catties. There are only more than [-] catties of longevity fruits at home now, and there are only five trees on the mountain. When the fruit trees bear fruit, Li Wanqing is not worried enough, thinking about whether to go to the next village to find if there are any fruit trees with longevity fruit, and they still have to bear fruit.
