Li Qiao and Tao Zhu went straight to Li Liang's house.

Tao Shu yelled in pain, unable to stop them at all. On the way to Li Liang's house, Tao Zhu thought of Li Qiao's words, and felt a little distressed: "Twenty catties of

maltose, you get four taels of silver."

, even if the money is not much, but also a sprinkling of wedding candy.

It was originally agreed to sprinkle two catties of maltose, but now it has increased tenfold.

"Think of it as using maltose to buy off the villagers. Filial piety is overwhelming. We don't want Tao Shu to take advantage of it, so that's the only way to go." "If you can spend, you

can earn."

Li Qiao said with a smile.

"...I'm the one who dragged you down."

Thinking of Tao Shu's and the others' various extreme behaviors, Tao Zhu panicked.

He was inferior to this person in everything, and now his close relative is like this, it's too shameful.

"People can't choose blood relatives. It's not your fault that you were born in Tao's family. Just keep in touch with him less in the future."

Li Qiao clenched his hand.

"...Mmm!"

All the discomfort in Tao Zhu's heart disappeared in an instant.

He couldn't help but hold the opponent's hand.

Even if he is destined to wake up from the dream, but he has been treated so tenderly by this person, then his death is worth it.

The two soon arrived at Li Liang's house, and after explaining the reason, Li Liang's family was very angry.

But since Tao Shu has already been punished for what he did, he doesn't care about anything with Tao Shu.

Wang Guihua asked Li Dashan, Li Ershan, and Li Xiaoshan brothers to move to make room for Tao Zhu.

For the three days before getting married, Tao Zhu stayed at Li Liang's house temporarily.

Li Qiao went home to sleep, got up at two o'clock in the morning, and walked to the county town to sell Shaqima.

Tao Zhu also got up before dawn.

After a simple breakfast, the rest of the Li family went to the field to continue harvesting wheat. Tao Zhu, Wang Guihua and Li Xiaolan went to Li Qiao's house to make bedding.

Li Qiao came to the gate of the county seat, put down the cart as usual, and opened the cloth bag containing Shaqima in the back basket.

Aunt Shaobing didn't have any business at the moment, so she came over: "Xiao Li, I came early today." "

I want to go to the city later, so I came early. Auntie, do you want to buy Feng Cake? Can you try it first?" "

Li Qiao said as he took out a small cloth bag from the back basket, which contained shachima cut into pieces, each piece was as long as a finger.

"Oh, you can taste it for free."

Aunt Shaobing was overjoyed, and immediately stretched out her hand to squeeze a piece.

When Sha Qima entered her mouth, she couldn't help but clicked her tongue. As expected of Shopkeeper Wang's round dim sum, it was lightly sweet and soft, and the taste was different from the dim sum she had eaten before.

"Then give me half a catty." Swallowing the Shaqima in her mouth, Aunt Shaobing opened her mouth.

Buy half a catty first, and if her eldest daughter-in-law likes it, then buy more next time.

"Okay." Li Qiao took out the prepared oil paper and weighed half a catty in a hurry.

One catty is one hundred and fifty wen, half a catty is seventy-five wen.

The people who set up stalls around saw this scene, although their hearts were moved, they did not act.

One hundred and fifty Wen a catty, who can afford it?

Anyway, they can't afford it.

However, in addition to stalls at the gate of the city, there are also city people who come to buy things.

The Shaqima sold by Li Qiao before was wrapped up by shopkeeper Wang, and these people had no chance to buy.

Now that Li Qiao has finally retailed, many people have come forward to inquire.

Anyway, it's free to taste, and it doesn't matter if you don't buy it after trying it. After tasting, most people didn't buy it.

There are those who buy it, and they also buy half a catty or two taels.

Li Qiao had expected this, and was neither impatient nor impatient.

An hour later, he sold three catties of Shaqima.

Then he closed the stall and went to the city to sell to food shops.

This time he went to the city to sell things, so he paid a penny in tax. After paying the tax, he turned around and saw Xiao Wu running towards him.

"Oh, Brother Li, I found you!"

Xiao Wu was very happy, pulled Li Qiao aside, and said quickly: "The shopkeeper wants to do long-term business with you, if you are not in a hurry, then let me go Let's go to Wangyuelou."

Li Qiao was a little surprised when he heard that Wangyuelou is a restaurant that sells dim sum very quickly.

But it's not a surprise. In his last life, all kinds of sweets emerged one after another. Although Shaqima was squeezed into a corner, there was always a place for Shaqima in the dessert world, which was enough to prove the charm of Shaqima.

When Li Qiao returned to Sanliu Village, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, only Tao Zhu was at home, and Wang Guihua took Li Xiaolan home after finishing the bedding.

"Are you tired? Sit down and have a rest. For lunch, we ate pancakes and fried wax gourd. I'll go and warm it up for you."

Tao Zhu immediately asked him to sit down when he saw him come back.

"Okay." Li Qiao showed a big smile.

Is this what it's like to have someone waiting for him after returning home?

awesome!

Even though he wasn't hungry, Li Qiao still ate two pancakes and a bowl of wax gourd.

While eating, he talked about his experience of the day.

Tao Zhu sat beside him and cut old fabrics with scissors. He needed the soles of his shoes to make shoes. To get married, he needed not only new clothes, but also new shoes.

Although it is too late to catch up with the wedding day, we must get ready. Hearing Li Qiao's request from shopkeeper Wang, he was very pleasantly surprised, and put down the scissors in his hand: " You want

twenty catties of rich cakes every day?"

Or his children like it very much, if they let go of their stomachs, his family can eat a few catties a day."

Li Qiao explained.

"Great!"

No matter who likes to eat, as long as someone likes it, that's fine.

Supply twenty catties a day, one catty can earn one hundred wen, and twenty catties is two thousand wen!

Earn two taels of silver a day, my God, it's like a dream!

Feeling happy, he also talked about his making quilts.

In the morning, he and Wang Guihua were making bedding when Li Ping came.

Li Ping is here to buy Shaqima, so let's gossip about what happened last night.

Tao Shu fell quite badly last night. Not only did the wound on his forehead burst open, bleeding profusely, the bridge of his nose was also broken, leaving him in a state of half useless.

After Li Ping finished his gossip, Tao Zhu went into the kitchen to make Shaqima. Neither he nor Li Qiao expected that people from the village would come to buy Shaqima, so there was no ready-made Shaqima at home.

Li Ping saw that he would have to wait for a long time, so he simply sat down and helped make the bedding.

It was with Li Ping's help that the work that would have taken more than half a day to complete was completed in half a day.

"I gave her two taels of cakes, and let sister-in-law and Xiaolan eat a few pieces."

"It should be, these are small things, you can decide." Li Qiao nodded.

Tao Zhu smiled when he heard the words, feeling sweet in his heart.

call the shots.

He was the master of the house this morning!

After Li Qiao had eaten, the two of them started making Shaqima again.

After making more than 20 catties of Shaqima, it was dark.

Tao Zhu went back to Li Liang's house to sleep, and Li Qiao slept for more than two hours, then got up to catch fish.

He is too poor now, anyway, fish do not need capital, and he plans to sell fish for another two days.

Just like a few days ago, he earned more than 4,000 cash from selling fish and Shaqima today.

After returning to the village, he took a short rest and made Shaqima with Tao Zhu.

This time, the two deliberately made more, because they were going to get married the day after tomorrow, and it was impossible for him to go to the county that day, so they had to send the amount for the day after tomorrow.

Moreover, Shaqima will appear as a dessert at their wedding reception.

Although the weather is hot now, it is not a problem for Shaqima to leave it for two or three days.

That night, Li Qiao continued to catch fish, and when he arrived at the county seat at dawn, he got 6,000 Wen for 40 catties of Shaqima and 300 catties of fish.

He was going to get married tomorrow, so he didn't delay much in the county seat, he bought some items needed for getting married and hurried home.

After returning home, he didn't care about rest and went straight into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Tao Zhu is making maltose damahua, which is a low-end version of yogurt damahua. This maltose damahua will be a dish at tomorrow's wedding banquet just like Shaqima.

In addition to these two homemade desserts, of course there is fish, chicken and pork all need money to buy, but fish does not need money, so the fish must appear in tomorrow's wedding banquet.

Working until evening, one after another, the families he wanted to invite all came.

Everyone came to discuss tomorrow's marriage. According to the customs in the village, it is noon to meet the relatives, pay homage, and then have a feast. Before that, the two newcomers could not meet each other.

But Li Qiao's situation is special here, as long as the auspicious time of worship is not delayed, everything else will be done according to the ideas of the two newcomers.

I also need to build three simple stoves, and I will cook a big banquet at home tomorrow.

At night, everyone dispersed.

Tao Zhu followed Li Liang and Wang Guihua back to sleep.

Li Qiao also washed up and went to bed.

However, it was the first time in two lifetimes that he got married, and he suffered from insomnia, even the second sleep raised in the last days failed to make him fall asleep successfully.

For a while, Tao Zhu's face was in his mind, and for a while, various scenes of the two people living together in the future, after half an hour, he fell asleep.

At four o'clock in the morning, he got up and went to the river to catch fish.

When he came back from catching fish, the sky was slightly cooler, and the small courtyard was already bustling.

All the families he invited came.

They didn't come empty-handed, they brought their family members ahead of time, because Li Qiao's situation was special, he and Tao Zhu's small family were really short of supplies.

Most of the followers in the countryside are directly given items, and only a few wealthy families will give money directly.

Both Zhuangjia and Zheng Tuhu have a good family background, but what these two families bring is not money, but goods.

What the dealer sent was a sack of wheat, which weighed a hundred catties. There was also a large bundle of dry firewood.

Butcher Zheng took a clay pot of lard, which weighed ten catties, and Li Qiao asked him to buy twenty catties of pork.

What Li Gu took was a bag of millet.

Li Dazhong took two large winter melons, a basket of cucumbers, and twenty eggs.

The uncle who made friends with Li's father took fifteen catties of tofu and fifty eggs.

As for Li Liang, he brought a sack of wheat, a sack of millet, and condiments such as onion, ginger, and garlic for the banquet. Plus the pots and pans, tables and chairs you need.

Let's join together, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu's family background is too weak, so the big guys join together, so that today's marriage will be lively and the two newcomers can be happy.

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Li Qiao glanced around, and found that Tao Zhu was sitting on the bench choosing dishes, with a serious expression on his face, and he looked calm and outstanding.

He couldn't help laughing, after living for two lifetimes, he was finally going to eat his own banquet and have his own home.

And when everyone in the yard saw Li Qiao standing at the gate with a smirk on his face, they all laughed too.

"It's always the same with young men." Li Gu said with a pleasant face.

"I was just like him back then. No, I must be stupid than him. After all, I'm not as handsome as him." Zheng Butcher also said.

This made everyone laugh.

Tao Zhu also chuckled, his cheeks flushed slightly, but his eyes were astonishingly bright looking at Li Qiao.

"Xiao Qiao, have you caught the fish yet?" Li Liang walked over and asked.

"Catch it, let sister-in-law and brother Zhu follow me to the river to kill fish." Li Qiao replied with a smile.

"Brother Zhu is a new husband, how can he smell like fish, and you too. Let your sister-in-law, your second aunt, Chunsheng's daughter-in-law, Chuntao and others go." "You stay to grind the noodles, and eat multigrain pancakes at

noon ."

There are more than one hundred people who want to eat at noon, and the number of pancakes needed is not a small number.

Then, everyone got busy, the fish killers, the noodle grinders, and the cookers kept busy until almost noon, and finally all the dishes for the banquet were ready.

The next step is to greet the relatives.

Tao Zhu has already returned to Li Liang's house, although he wants to work, but he is a new husband, how can everyone really make him work from morning to noon.

Li Qiao put on the stone-blue cotton bunt, surrounded by Li Dashan, Li Dazhong and other young people, happily went to Li Liang's house to welcome his relatives.
