After the temperature of the malt sugar dropped a bit, Li Qiao started to pull the sugar.

This is a laborious job. While pulling, he said to Li Liang and Wang Guihua: "This job is very labor-intensive. If you pull it for a long time, your back will hurt." But Li Liang dismissed it: "That's it ?

"

Sugar is much harder.

"Get out of the way, I'll do it."

"I'll try too."

Wang Guihua also wanted to do it.

When the two tried it out in person, the husband and wife were both aghast. There is a difference only when there is a comparison. Compared with farming, this is not a hard job.

Let alone the two of them, even Li Xiaoshan can do it.

"From today onwards, your elder brother and I will make maltose. This time you and Brother Zhu will not interfere in the whole process. Let us try it alone." Wang Guihua said to Li Qiao.

There are four children in her family, and she is afraid that the children will not be able to control their mouths, so she temporarily puts the malt candy making place in Li Qiao's house.

When she and Li Liang can make maltose independently, they will renovate her house and set aside a special room for making maltose.

"Okay." Li Qiao agreed.

Seeing Tao Zhu standing beside him eager to try the candy, he let Tao Zhu try it too, and he made a few chubby ducklings as long as a finger out of the syrup.

He left one duckling behind, and let Li Liang and Wang Guihua take the rest back for Li Xiaolan and the others to eat.

This is maltose made by ourselves, and the cost is low, so Li Liang and Wang Guihua are not polite, and left with a few ducklings.

"Just give it to Xiaolan and the others, why did you leave one for me?" Tao Zhu asked looking at the lifelike duckling on the chopping board.

"Because I want to give it to you, I think you will like it."

Li Qiao replied while tidying up the kitchen.

It was the expected answer, but Tao Zhu was still very happy, yes, he likes it very much, whether it is such a large piece of malt candy or the chubby shape, he likes it very much.

"Next time, I'll pinch a duckling for you too."

"Pinch a tiger, the tiger is majestic."

"But where are you majestic?" Tao Zhu's eyes stopped on Li Qiao, looking from head to toe, this man is a scholar, Compared with other men of the same age in the village, he is a little thinner and not strong enough, so he doesn't match a tiger at all.

"Aren't I imposing on the bed?" Li Qiao asked back.

Tao Zhu: "..."

Some unsuitable images popped up in his mind, which made him a little embarrassed, but he nodded lightly: "Okay, next time I will pinch a tiger for you." "

Then go wash up now, I'll clean up the kitchen before I go."

"No, let's clean up together."

"Alright."

Li Qiao nodded with a smile, the mandarin duck bath is also wonderful.

Of course, tonight will be even better.

Let's talk about Li Liang's family, the next day, they got up before dawn as usual, including the youngest Li Xiaolan.

Soon, Li Dashan, Li Ershan, Li Xiaoshan and Li Xiaolan both found a chubby little duck next to their pillows.

Take a closer look, and this little duck is actually made of maltose!

The liveliest Li Ershan rushed out of the room barefoot without any shoes on: "Mom! Why is there a duckling on our bed?!"

Wang Guihua was making breakfast when he heard the words and replied, "This is your uncle Here are your maltose ducks."

These little ducks are not the flat pattern of Tanghua hanging on a wooden stick, but a solid three-dimensional maltose duckling.

One has two or two weights.

"Wow! Uncle really made a lot of money!"

Li Ershan opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Wang Guihua frowned upon hearing this: "How did your uncle earn a lot of money?" "

How can you afford such an expensive duckling if you don't make any money?"

"I heard from Gousheng that everyone in our village knows that uncle earns a lot of money." , saying that he is in a big business and eats meat every day. When passing by his house, he can smell meat or sweetness, which makes people reluctant to leave. Even the village head's house can't compare to him." "Nonsense.

" How can he earn any money, if he really earns money, he will not pay back the debt? He owed dozens of taels of silver, but now he has not paid back even one tael!"

Wang Guihua's face darkened.

Where did this rumor come from!

"That's right, Xiaoer, you're really lacking in mind. How could my uncle be better than the village head's family. He doesn't have an acre of land now, but the village head's family has more than 200 mu of land." Li Dashan walked out of the

room Come out, also frowning.

"Uh..." Li Ershan couldn't help scratching his head when he heard the words.

He didn't think of this at the time, thinking that his uncle really made a lot of money.

"When you play with Gousheng a few more, tell them that your uncle is still a poor man, with no land and no savings, not to mention comparing with the village chief's family, he is not comparable with our family." Wang Guihua confessed

.

"Okay!" Li Ershan nodded repeatedly.

"Your uncle made these little ducks himself, not bought them. You can just eat them at home, don't go out and talk nonsense." Wang Guihua said again.

"Huh? Uncle made it himself?!"

"Uncle really knows how to make maltose?"

Li Dashan and Li Ershan were both surprised.

"Your uncle has been studying for so many years. Although he didn't pass the exam, he has read a lot of miscellaneous books. Knowing how to make maltose is nothing." "

Uncle is really amazing!"

Li Dashan and Li Ershan said together face admiration.

"He just went astray, and now he has corrected his evil ways and turned to the right way, it will be great."

Thinking of Li Qiao's clever appearance when he was a child, Wang Guihua felt a little emotional.

However, it would be nice to be able to correct it.

It's a pity that her in-laws are not blessed and can't see them.

Thinking like this, her thoughts turned to Li Ershan's words just now.

Since when did such rumors begin in the village?

She couldn't sit still anymore, and asked Li Ershan to light a fire, and she walked to Li Qiao's house.

Li Qiao went to the county to deliver goods, and only Tao Zhu was at home.

Tao Zhu frowned when he heard this, the old lady Tao had just come to make trouble with him, and the rumor probably had something to do with the four members of the Tao family.

"Such nonsense rumors can spread, which shows that many people really think that Li Qiao has made a lot of money." Wang Guihua sighed.

She also thinks that it has something to do with Tao Shu and the others, but if it can spread, many people must believe it.

"This man, there are no people who laugh, but there are people who are bitter. When Li Qiao was dead, everyone looked down on him. When many people mentioned him in front of me and your elder brother, they all hoped that he would look like a human. Now his life is really getting better and better, and many people feel sour again."

"Brother Zhu, it's human nature, don't take it too seriously. But the wealth is not revealed, and you and Li Qiao are covering how much you earn. Don't tell others, do you understand?"

"Sister-in-law Xie reminded me, I will tell Li Qiao these words."

Tao Zhu nodded seriously.

Wang Guihua didn't stay long and hurried home.

Tao Zhu continued to make Shaqima and Twist.

When the sun rose, Li Ping came, and she came to buy big flowers.

"Sister-in-law, today's big flower has become fifty cents a catty." Tao Zhu said.

"Huh??? Why is it suddenly half cheaper?" Li Ping was surprised.

"Because the maltose used in this batch of mahua was made by Li Qiao himself, and the cost is low, so the price of the mahua is also low.

" The price has changed from 200 Wen to 50 Wen. The cost has dropped, and the price will naturally drop accordingly.

In business, honesty is the foundation, so that the business can last for a long time. After all, no one is a fool.

After hearing this explanation, Li Ping was both surprised and happy.

"Tsk tsk, people in the same village don't bully people in the same village. You two young people are serious about it. Give me ten catties."

She originally planned to buy only five catties with a wave of her hand, and doubled it.

"Okay." Tao Zhu picked up the chopsticks with one hand, and the basket she brought with the other, and made twists for her.

"By the way, sister-in-law, how much dry firewood is there in your house? I don't have enough dry firewood in my house, but I don't have time to go up the mountain to collect firewood today."

Tao Zhu asked.

"Enough, my house is not short of dry firewood. You lock the door and come home with me." Li Ping nodded.

Her family has long-term workers, and there is no shortage of dry firewood.

Moreover, on the day when Li Qiao and Tao Zhu got married, Li Qiao drew a few shelves and cabinets that could be assembled and disassembled like wheat scythes, so the manor and her husband have become obsessed with this interesting carpentry method these days. Many trees.

Therefore, her family now has surplus dry firewood to sell to Tao Zhu.

Tao Zhu said yes, locked the door, took the copper plate, and followed Li Ping back to the dealer.

Along the way, the two of them met many folks.

Villagers grow too much wheat to fit in the threshing ground, so they will be transported to their homes, either piled up at home, or spread directly on the road in front of their homes, and let passers-by walk on it, which can be regarded as helping threshing.

When they came to a corner, there were several people standing at the door of that house. This was Tao Tuo's house.

Their family was beating the straw with flails to thresh the wheat, while Tao Putao was sitting in the shade of a tree, mending clothes. Tao Tao's mother ,

Liu Cui, greeted Li Ping with a smile: "Zhuang Wu's family, I'm going to buy mahua again.

"

nod.

"Then Li Qiao's business must be very good, and he must have made a lot of money." Liu Cui rolled her eyes and looked at Tao Zhu with eager eyes: "Brother Zhu, tell your uncle that Li Qiao How much money can I earn?"

"I don't earn much, and I have to go to the county every day, which is very hard." Tao Zhu said calmly, and he walked forward with Li Ping.

"How much do you earn exactly? Auntie doesn't ask you to borrow money, so why hide it? You're running so fast, I think it scares you!" Liu Cui was a little unhappy.

"Oh, mother, she has climbed to a high branch and looks down on our poor relatives." Tao Tao sneered.

Tao Zhu paused when he heard this, and turned to look at Liu Cui: "Does it have anything to do with how much we earn?" "

You! Let me inquire what's wrong?!" road.

"Then I won't tell you." Tao Zhu dropped the words and walked forward.

Li Ping chuckled happily: "That's right, Liu Cui, why should I tell you how much money someone else makes? Why don't you come and find out how much money my dealer makes?"

Liu Cui: "..."

Her old face turned black instantly. After all, how dare she go to find out how much money the dealer makes!

"Zhuang Wu's family, I asked Brother Zhu, but I didn't ask you."

Tao Tao's fair face also flushed red with anger, but he didn't dare to argue with Li Ping, so he could only nod hard to echo his mother's words.

"You, an outsider, can inquire into the private affairs of Brother Zhu's family, why can't I, an outsider, speak a fair word?" Li Ping asked suspiciously.

"Also, don't say that you and Brother Zhu are a family. The villagers have been watching for so many years, and you haven't given him a piece of corn bread."

Liu Cui: "..."

Now she was choked completely speechless .

The men of the Tao family wanted to refute, but they were men, and Li Ping was a woman, and she was Zhuang Fengshou's daughter-in-law, so they dared not.

So, Li Ping snorted and pulled Tao Zhu away.

After walking far away, Tao Zhu immediately thanked her. Although he can also hate Liu Cui, it will always affect his mood.

But now Li Ping made Liu Cui speechless as soon as he made a move, and now he is in a good mood.

"It's nothing, it's a matter of talking." Li Ping didn't care at all.

Tao Zhu smiled, and when Li Ping came to buy twists in the future, he must use more ingredients and make them more delicious.

Li Qiao came back at noon. On the way, he ran into Wang Guihua who was going home to cook. Wang Guihua told the rumors, so he watched Tao Zhu's expression as soon as he got home.

Tao Zhu, as usual, saw him come back, brought cold boiled noodles, noodles, and a cattail fan to fan him.

"Brother Zhu, I heard my sister-in-law talk about rumors, don't take it to heart."

Li Qiao took Tao Zhu's hand, ready to enlighten him.

But Tao Zhu just smiled, and told about Liu Cui's affairs in the morning: "I'm in a good mood, and she wanted to inquire, but we didn't tell her, and let her scratch her heart and lungs, and pissed her off.

" That's it..." Li Qiao also laughed: "She started to get sour before we made any money, so she's going to die of soreness next time." "Huh

?" Tao Zhu was puzzled.

"The shopkeeper Wang said that Feng Gao's reputation has spread, and more people go to buy Feng Gao every day, and the twist is also selling well. The dozens of catties we make every day are not enough for him to sell." "He asked us to concentrate on making it

. For dim sum, starting tomorrow, he will send people to the village to buy it, so I don't have to deliver it to the county every day."

Li Qiao announced the good news with a smile.

The author has something to say:

the life of the couple is getting better every day!
