 Xiaowu returned to Wangyue Tower with Qingtuan, Taosu, Shaqima and roasted sausage.

At this time, Moon Tower was not open yet, so he entered the backyard through the back door.

Shopkeeper Wang is already waiting for him.

Before the carriage came to a complete stop, shopkeeper Wang called two fellows to come forward and unload the things in the carriage. At the same time, shopkeeper Wang asked again

: "Does Qingtuan have new flavors?"

I'm going to take it home for my father to eat."

Xiao Wu said, and took out a linen kerchief from his arms.

He opened the veil, revealing the green ball stuffed with egg yolk and meat floss with a bite out of it.

Shopkeeper Wang walked over two steps and looked carefully at the stuffing.

The color of the stuffing is yellow, and it looks pretty with the green skin of the green doughnut.

However, the stuffing is finely divided, and you can barely see that it is mixed with egg yolk, but what about the "flossy meat"?

It was Li Qiao who told him the word meat floss, saying it was made from pork.

But does the stuffing in front of me have anything to do with pork?

Shopkeeper Wang was a little surprised, but of course also confused.

At this time, the two guys had already moved down the wooden box specially used to hold the green balls and put them on the table. He stepped forward to open the lid of the wooden box and took out a green ball.

"The top one is stuffed with egg yolk and meat floss. There are sixty-six pieces in total, and the price of each piece is 40 Wen."

Xiao Wudao.

"Hiss—" Shopkeeper Wang gasped when he heard the price, forty coins a piece!

Li Qiao didn't say the price yesterday, and he didn't know the cost price of a green ball, but such a small green ball cost forty renminbi?

He brought the green dough in his hand to his eyes and looked at it carefully. Looking at the appearance, it was no different from the stuffed bean paste.

He took a light bite.

After chewing twice, his eyes widened, and before he had time to slap the table, he lowered his head and took another big bite.

The softness of the glutinous rice and the salty fragrance of the egg yolk meat floss, the two flavors blended together just right. He didn't wait to swallow it in his mouth, and took out another one from the wooden box.

After eating three pieces in a row, he raised his hand and slapped the table, and sighed, "Xiao Li really has two brushes!

" The meat is not replaced.

His tongue, which had tasted countless good things, couldn't resist this taste at all, and he hadn't lost his composure like this for a long time.

Xiao Wu nodded when he heard it: "That's right, Brother Li has real abilities."

Next to him, the two guys who were in charge of moving the goods were envious. Is this egg yolk floss really so good?

But it's a pity that they are not Xiaowu, they can't go to Sanliu Village to buy goods, alas, relying on themselves, I'm afraid they won't be able to taste it in this life.

At this moment, a clerk hurried into the backyard, and he shouted: "Shopkeeper, Mr. Bai Fulang, the eldest son of the Bai family, has come in person, and he is waiting on the second floor."

In fact, there was still a quarter of an hour before the door of Wangyuelou opened, but Baiyou, the eldest son of the Bai family, came in person. As soon as his maid knocked on the door, they didn't dare to delay, and immediately opened the door to welcome Baiyou in.

Baiyou is actually a brother, who married Fucheng two years ago, but the man was weak, so he left within a year.

Baiyou didn't get along with her husband's family, so she simply went back to Bai's house.

Therefore, Baiyou is actually a widow.

Although this husband is widowed, Wangyuelou dare not neglect.

Because Baiyou's father is the teacher of Zhengxin Academy of Pingcheng Official School, he is an official of the eighth grade. Although his rank is not high, he is indeed an official, and he manages a group of scholars with a very wide network of contacts.

Now people came to Wangyue Tower and asked to see shopkeeper Wang by name, so this guy came to find shopkeeper Wang in a hurry.

Hearing this, shopkeeper Wang stepped up and walked towards the restaurant in front: "I'll go and see, Xiao Wu, you send the green balls and sausages to the back kitchen.

" Step up to the elegant room on the second floor.

In the private room, Baiyou was standing by the window, watching the passers-by on the street with a bored expression. He was standing lazily, and his appearance was not very beautiful, but his eyes were like talking, which made people notice memorable.

"Oh, Mr. Bai, rare customer, rare customer."

The voice of shopkeeper Wang arrived before he arrived.

Accompanied by these words, the door of the private room was pushed open, and shopkeeper Wang walked in.

Baiyou turned her head to look at shopkeeper Wang, and said with a light smile, "It's been a while since I've been here. Yesterday my third younger sister went to Miss Wu's small banquet and tasted a dim sum called Qingtuan. Come and see today."

"So that's it! It's a coincidence that you came here. In the past, the Qingtuan only had the flavor of bean paste, but today there is an extra flavor of egg yolk and meat floss. It tastes very delicious. You must try it." "Egg yolk and meat floss?" Baiyou raised his

eyebrows .

Shopkeeper Wang smiled, and went to bring two plates of Qingtuan himself.

Four each of bean paste and egg yolk floss.

Baiyou was born and raised in Pingcheng. Although he married in Fucheng, he had never seen Qingtuan in Fucheng, a dim sum that is eaten in the Jiangnan area during Qingming Festival.

At this time, looking at the big round dumpling, he picked one up and tentatively took a bite. After chewing only a couple of times, his beautiful eyes lit up.

The texture of this glutinous glutinous rice ball is somewhat similar to the glutinous rice balls he has eaten.

But it is different from Tangyuan, because it is mixed with wormwood, and the filling is not as sweet and greasy as Tangyuan.

Although glutinous rice balls are delicious, they can only be eaten while they are hot with a spoon, but he can chew them slowly with his hands.

he likes!

After finishing one stuffed with red bean paste, he went to get another one with egg yolk and meat floss.

If shopkeeper Wang is like that, he also prefers egg yolk and meat floss, and glutinous snacks. He has only eaten glutinous rice balls, and eight-treasure rice can barely be counted.

But both of these are sweet, so he always thought that glutinous rice should be sweet.

But now the glutinous rice is paired with this stuffing called egg yolk floss, the taste is not only not strange, but it makes him unable to stop.

Nuojiji can be sweet or salty, delicious!

After swallowing the whole youth group, he smiled and looked at shopkeeper Wang: "It's really extraordinary, no wonder my third sister is boasting so much. Is this youth group available every day?" "Yes, every day,

but The quantity is limited, there are only 300 pieces, and you will have to wait until the next day if they are sold out."

Shopkeeper Wang replied with a smile.

"Then wrap them up, ten for bean paste, twenty for egg yolk and meat floss,"

Baiyou said.

"Okay. In addition to Qingtuan, the store also has Feng Cake, Peach Cake, and Fried Sausage. Why don't you try it too."

Shopkeeper Wang hurriedly sold other items.

Even though Baiyou's father is just an instructor of Zhengxin Academy, his mother's family is a big landlord in Peishui County next to Pingcheng.

Baiyou's father's dowry back then was extremely rich, with a thousand acres of fertile land alone, and later his father left, and all the dowry went to Baiyou, so Baiyou was not short of money.

Hearing this, Baiyou hummed, "Let's try it."

However, after the Shaqima, peach crisps, and fried sausages were served, he said that they were delicious, but they were not as good as Qingtuan.

The glutinous taste is invincible!

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Wang had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​using sausages to sell miserably. Forget it, who doesn't love Baiyou very much.

However, it is good to be able to love the Youth League.

The green ball stuffed with egg yolk and meat floss, he bought forty yuan a piece, well, let's sell it for eighty-eight yuan a piece.

Only for the rich.

Soon, Baiyou and Qingtuan left contentedly.

So shopkeeper Wang went downstairs to sell green balls stuffed with egg yolk and meat floss to the maids and servants of other wealthy families.

Among these people, not only the Qingtuan sold well, but also the fried sausage.

When these people urged him, shopkeeper Wang sighed and began to talk about his difficulties.

From tomorrow, the fried sausages will have sheep casings.

If the girls from different families are not used to eating it, then he really can't help it, because all the pig intestines were bought by Zui Xianju.

"Ah? Is there such a thing?"

"If my lady is not used to it, wouldn't I have to come earlier to buy it?" "

Me too! My son has never smelled mutton since he was a child. Smell, shopkeeper Wang, you have to separate the two kinds of sausages!"

"Ah! Drunken Immortal House is too annoying, isn't it?"

"Malicious competition!"

...

These servant girls, after listening to the words of shopkeeper Wang, Surprise first, then wailing and worry after surprise.

Shopkeeper Wang looked at this scene and felt satisfied. The first step of applying the eye drops was successful.

If Zui Xianju can't make sausages with the same taste in the next few days, the rich people who can't eat delicious food will definitely go to chat with shopkeeper Zhao.

While shopkeeper Wang was busy fighting back, Li Qiao and Tao Zhu started to prepare for building a new house.

There is no professional construction team in this world. The villagers usually ask the villagers to help them build houses.

These days, everyone is not a craftsman, regardless of men, women and children in Sanliu Village, except for the rotten people like Yuanshen and Tao Shu and his wife, the rest are basically omnipotent.

However, Li Qiao planned to build a house of green bricks and tiles this time, which required higher technical requirements than building an adobe wall, so he needed a professional plasterer.

So he went to Zhuang Fengshou to inquire about it yesterday. There are no professional plasterers in Sanliu Village, but there are in Zhujia Village. When the Zhuangjia built the house, he was looking for an old plasterer in Zhujia Village.

Li Qiao went to Zhujia Village and found this old plasterer surnamed Zhu. After the negotiation, the next step was to buy bricks and wood.

These had to be bought in the county town, so while Li Qiao was heading for the county town, Tao Zhu took the shovel to clear the weeds in the open space behind the house.

A passing villager saw it and thought it was strange, so he asked a question.

Tao Zhu answered with a smile on his face: "We're going to build a house."

These five words spread throughout Sanliu Village before nightfall.

Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are building a new house!

Moreover, the couple didn't overthrow the current yard cover, they bought land and wanted to build a new big yard!

So rich!

This was almost the first reaction of all the villagers when they heard this.

Li Qiao had just bought three acres of high-quality farmland, which cost ninety taels of silver.

To build such a large yard, at least it will cost dozens of taels, right?

Li Qiao's business has also made a lot of money!

After the exclamation, it is the heartbeat.

To build a house must hire manpower. Li Qiao hired Chen Tiezhu and Wang Xiuying to grow sweet potatoes with such high wages, so the wages for building a house will definitely not be low.

Thirty Wen a day, plus a meal allowance of three Wen, if it lasts for half a month, you can earn 500 Wen without leaving the house.

Happy!

At Li Dazhong's house, Han Xiaoyan squinted at Li Dazhong squatting by the kitchen door while feeding his daughter noodle soup.

Li Dazhong held a cornmeal steamed bun in one hand, and a ceramic bowl in the other. In the bowl was scallions and green peppers mixed with salt. The scallions and green peppers were only sprinkled with salt, not even a drop of sesame oil.

In order to treat Zhao Erniu, the family has spent a lot of money these days, so the food has dropped drastically. It used to be mainly wheat, supplemented by miscellaneous grains, but now it is mainly miscellaneous grains. The fine grains such as wheat flour only have the two children and the wounded. Zhao Erniu can eat.

Han Xiaoyan glanced at Li Dazhong, one after another, but she didn't dare to say anything until her daughter was fed.

The last time Li Dazhong had to drive her back to her natal family, she was so annoyed at that time, she just felt that she lost face, so she put down her cruel words, Li Dazhong didn't kneel down and begged her to go back, she would never go back.

At that time, she thought that there were two children in the family who couldn't do without her, and she and Li Dazhong had only been married for a few years, and Li Dazhong made a lot of trouble with her at night.

Therefore, she consciously manipulated Li Dazhong to death, that's why she said that.

But who knows, after waiting for one day, Li Dazhong disappeared, after waiting for five days, Li Dazhong disappeared, and after waiting for ten days, Li Dazhong also disappeared!

Li Dazhong was nowhere to be seen, but her natal family had objections to her.

The daughters-in-law of her two brothers saw that her eyes were not eyes, and her nose was not a nose, and thought she was incapable. She had shown such great kindness to Li Qiao, but she didn't take advantage of it at all, and was even driven back to her mother's house!

What are you doing eating rice at your mother's house? Go back and find Li Dazhong! Hurry up and let Li Qiao lead them to earn money!

Not only the two sisters-in-law looked down on her, her parents also advised her to come back and bow to Li Dazhong.

Seeing that she refused to take the initiative to bow her head, she arranged a lot of work at home and in the fields, so that she was more tired at her mother's house than at her husband's house.

Coincidentally, Chen Tiezhu and Wang Xiaoya went back to their natal family - Wang Xiaoya and her were from the same village.

She hurriedly dragged the couple to inquire about Li Dazhong's situation.

Li Dazhong's family is doing well so far.

Zhao Erniu's recovery from her injury is slow, but she is still recovering. It is still difficult to speak, but she can do housework and take care of children.

Right now is not a busy season for farming, and only Li Dazhong, Li Dao and his son can handle the work in the fields.

Therefore, Li Dazhong's small life is still going well.

It just has a bad reputation.

Now when people in the village mention Zhao Erniu, they feel that she has been punished by the gods, and they don't want to get too close to her, so as not to be punished by the gods.

After listening to Chen Tiezhu's words, her heart was really cool, it was like a cold winter in summer.

Without her, and something happened to Zhao Erniu, but the family is not in chaos?

More importantly, there is no sign of Li Dazhong coming to look for her at all!

Panicked, she was completely panicked now.

So, when her parents urged her again, she came back disheartened.

She took the initiative to come back, Li Dao and Zhao Erniu including the two children were very happy, Li Dao and Zhao Erniu were happy that their work could finally be easier.

The two children are happy because they miss her mother.

But Li Dazhong was lukewarm towards her, he was willing to talk to her, but he was only willing to talk about business matters, and refused to say a word of gossip.

Although she didn't sleep in the same bed with her at night, she didn't make trouble with her like before. She wanted to reconcile, and she took the initiative to lean into his arms, but he turned over and turned his back to her!

Li Dazhong's attitude made her dare not speak out at this moment.

Han Xiaoyan didn't say anything, but Li Dao couldn't help it.

What a great opportunity!

Seeing that Li Dazhong finished his meal and was going to wash up and go to bed, Li Dao hurriedly called to him: "Dazhong, Li Qiao is going to build a house." "It has nothing to do with us if he builds his

. " Li Dazhong said in a neutral tone.

"What are you talking about, you bastard!" Li Dao glared at him: "Based on your friendship with him, you go to work as a foreman, and you have to be like Dashan at least a day, and get sixty copper coins a day!" Sixty copper

coins ?

Han Xiaoyan was shocked when he heard these words.

Li Dashan's salary has increased?

Li Dashan can get 60 Wen, Li Dazhong, as Li Dashan's cousin, how can he get 60 Wen a day, at least 80 Wen!

Thinking of the heavy copper plate, she couldn't help it anymore: "Dazhong, why don't you try it? We don't greedy Liqiao's bricks and wood, so we just get paid as a foreman honestly. It's nothing, right?"

Zhao Erniu nodded fiercely when she heard the words, her tongue still hurt and she couldn't speak well, so she didn't speak, but just nodded.

"No, if you say no, you really don't have any relationship. You are so determined. If you let me know that you are looking for Li Qiao in private, then this day will be over."

Li Dazhong had a straight face, and his words were very firm. Any room for negotiation.

Li Dao stomped his feet angrily: "Why can't I go? I'm going!" "

If you go, I won't provide for you when you get old!" Li Dazhong's face darkened.

Li Dao: "!"

What the hell!

Han Xiaoyan: "..."

This Li Dazhong is too selfish!

Now it's not about asking Li Qiao for a prescription, but just wanting to be a foreman, so he won't let him go, and he doesn't want to see how much the family spent to see her mother-in-law!

A big battle broke out again.

Li Qiao is currently unaware of the battle. Li Qiao and Tao Zhu are sitting at the table, studying the layout of the new house by the faint light of the oil lamp.

According to the common layout in Sanliu Village, there are three main rooms, three east rooms, and three west rooms, plus a kitchen and a utility room.

Each family adds or subtracts rooms on this basis according to their own family circumstances, like a banker, because there are many people and there is no separation, so a yard with the same layout is connected on this basis, which is equivalent to a large yard with two entrances.

Li Qiao plans to follow the dealer's example and build a yard with two entrances. The front yard is used for making snacks, and the back yard is his and Tao Zhu's happy hometown, where they can play however they want.

"Here, here is the shower room. The floor is paved with blue bricks, and then a sewer is built with blue bricks. Put a few vats on the shelf and drill a hole at the bottom of the vats." "It's hot in summer, and the sun can directly drain the water in the vats.

" It's hot in the sun. We just need to fill the wooden barrel with water in the morning, and we can use it as we want that day." "It's just the

two of us in the backyard, so it's okay to run around naked."

After saying this, Tao Zhu couldn't help but pat him "Don't be ashamed. If someone sees you, just dig a hole and get in."

That's what he said, but his cheeks couldn't help but heat up.

That scene is really a happy hometown...

"The backyard is our private territory. When the time comes, we will install a gate and no one will be allowed in except us."

Li Qiao said confidently.

Newlyweds should be ashamed like this.

"...Let's talk about the foreman." Tao Zhu changed the subject, and if he continued, he would probably have to go to bed.

But it's not over yet.

He and Li Qiao were going to make snacks, and it was impossible to keep an eye on the affairs of the new house, so they had to find a foreman to oversee the work, and even be responsible for the purchase.

Therefore, this candidate is very important.

"Foreman, I want to find Brother Dazhong, but he will definitely not take this job." Li Qiao was also thinking about this, so he followed Tao Zhu's words and changed the subject.

"I don't think Sister-in-law Yan has made any trouble these two days, why don't we ask Brother Dazhong?" Tao Zhu said.

"Okay. If he doesn't answer, then let's find Second Uncle." Li Qiao said.

"Okay. But, to really build this yard, I'm afraid it will cost more than two hundred taels of silver." Tao Zhu looked at the paper in front of him, feeling a little worried.

What about the two big yards, and you need to buy corresponding furniture.

"It's okay, let's save furniture slowly. Make a bed today and a wardrobe the next day. Anyway, there is no rush to use it now."

Li Qiao is not worried at all.

"Okay, we're done with business, it's time for us to rest." Li Qiao put down the brush in his hand as he said.

Tao Zhu heard this, and immediately said: "Then you go and lie down, and I will massage you."

He was still thinking about this matter.

"I didn't walk a lot today, so don't press it. I went to the county seat in the village chief's cart."

Li Qiao shook his head.

"Aren't you tired from riding an ox cart? Riding an ox cart is also very tiring. Go and lie down." Tao Zhu insisted, getting up from the bench, holding his arm with both hands, trying to pull him up.

"..."

Li Qiao's eyes became meaningful.

He got up following Tao Zhu's strength, and walked towards the bed together with Tao Zhu: "Since you insist on pressing, then I will teach you." "

Just press, I will."

"No, you will not. "

"...I just know how to do it." Tao Zhu's eyes widened a bit, this is too small for him, how could he not even know how to touch his legs.

"I mean massage like this." Li Qiao lowered her head and explained in his ear what kind of massage he wanted.

Before he finished speaking, Tao Zhu's earlobe was so red that it was about to bleed, and the hands holding his arms subconsciously exerted force, and his whole body was pressed against him.

"Do you know now? You really can't."

Li Qiao said and kissed his earlobe.

Tao Zhu: "..."

The wetness made his body half numb, he gritted his teeth, "Where did you know this?"

He had never heard of this kind of trick.

No, let alone heard about it, if this person hadn't told him at this time, he wouldn't even be able to imagine it.

"I think about it myself. I can infer other things from one another when I make dim sum, not to mention the happiness with you. I'm full of whimsical ideas on this matter, isn't it strange?" Li Qiao explained solemnly

.

Tao Zhu: "..."

He was speechless.

"So, let me demonstrate it to you first, and when you learn it, give me a good press." Li Qiao said again.

"...Then don't make me too comfortable, or I will lose my strength." Tao Zhu said in a low voice but seriously.

He didn't want to be like last time, he was supposed to give this person a press, but in the end he lost all his strength.

"Okay, okay, don't worry. The two of us have one time, and everyone can enjoy it."

Li Qiao agreed.

He really doesn't mind playing massages every day.

So, this night, Tao Zhu gritted his teeth and forced himself to do what he wanted to do.

He didn't know if Li Qiao used this to relieve his fatigue, but in the end he was so tired that he lost all energy.

Too tired, I will definitely not play like this next time!

The author has something to say:

Babes, I'm going to other provinces to attend my friend's wedding tomorrow, and I won't be back until the 4th, so I can't guarantee updates these days, I'll definitely have more QAQs when I get back
