Chapter 51 51 Invitation

After Chen Yaohui and Mrs. Li entered the house, they saw the village chief sitting in the yard weaving bamboo baskets. Chen Yaohui walked up to the village chief and repeated Mrs. Li's words to the village chief. Tell me, is this the case?"

   After pondering for a long time, the village chief sighed and said, "I've heard people say it before, but our high terrain will not be flooded, and the places downstream are flooded."

   Chen Yaohui and Mrs Li were relieved after hearing this, and the couple laughed in relief, "Aiya! It scared us to death, if that's the case, why are we afraid!"

The village chief looked at the two of them like a fool, "What are you afraid of? Others have no food, what are you afraid of? They are afraid of looting! When people are hungry enough, they can kill people, set fires and do bad things. "The village chief looked at Chen Yaohui and his wife's worry and fear after hearing this, and he couldn't bear it, so he comforted them, "Don't be too afraid, it's not necessarily a natural disaster! Don't be too worried about those grain merchants. If you believe it, grain merchants will be eager for natural disasters, so that they can make a fortune."

   Mr. Li nodded, "That's true. When the grain merchants received grain, they didn't lower the price. When the grain got into their hands, they made a lot of money as soon as they changed hands."

   The village chief saw that the two of them didn't care, and worried that they didn't know how to save. "Just in case, you usually eat more mixed grains and save more food."

"Understood." Chen Yaohui and his wife heard that they would not suffer from the disaster, and returned home in a good mood. When Mrs. Li told Xiaoyu to carry water, Chen Yaohui waved: "Forget it! Get the water out."

  Li Yu decided to save some water regardless of droughts or floods. When Li Mei and the others left, Li Yu cleaned the dozen or so sauce jars left at home, filled them with water and stored them in the space.

  Li Yu entered the space and looked at it, and saw that the items in it would be automatically sorted into different categories. Li Yu felt that his space was really a rare treasure.

The next day, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Ma, along with more than a dozen other women whom Li Yu did not know, came to work at Li Yu's house. Mrs. Li told Li Yu what the village chief had said. After hearing this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and settled down to hurry up.

The days went by in a blink of an eye, and it was the twelfth lunar month. Li Yu and Zhou Jia's bag business was booming, but there were also many imitation merchants. However, Zhou Jia's shop was the first to sell bags and already had stable customers. The source, and their styles become fast and the sales are still the best.

  The twelfth lunar month came, Zhou Jia asked Jixiang to send a message to Li Yu, and told the female workers to stop work on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, and let everyone go back to prepare for the New Year.

On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yu began to prepare the New Year's goods. Li Yu went to the mountains. After returning, he turned the pheasants and wild rabbits he hunted into preserved chickens and preserved rabbits, and then went to the butcher's house to buy a whole pig of pork. , The trotters, ribs, and pork belly are made into bacon feet, bacon ribs and bacon.

   Then cut the front and back leg meat and the trough head meat into slices, add salt, chili powder, white wine, rock sugar, cumin, woodsy, angelica, ... in a pot according to a certain proportion.

  Li Yu took Zhao Di and taught her to use bamboo chips to scrape the fat inside the pig's small intestine until only the outer casing was left. Go to the bamboo forest to find a bamboo tube about the size of a casing, saw it into a small bamboo tube with a length of one inch or two inches long, and use the bamboo tube to canned the sausage.

  Zhao Di asked Li Yu curiously while filling the sausage, "Cousin, I have never seen my mother make this sausage. Did your aunt teach you?"

Li Yu could only answer: "Yes! Your aunt taught it." Li Yu gently squeezed the stuffed sausage tightly, tied it into sections with cotton thread, hung it on a bamboo rack, and then marinated the sausage. The prepared bacon, bacon ribs, and trotters are hung on the horizontal wood in front of the stove and slowly smoked.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, when cooking Laba porridge, Li Mei and Mrs. Qian cooked two pots full of Laba porridge. They sent Laba porridge to the helpers and Zhou Jia, and brought back a can of Laba porridge. Both mouths are filled with the taste of all kinds of Laba porridge.

  On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Jia and Jixiang came to Li Yu's house in the future, and Butcher He happily followed along with a whole pig of pork.

   Zhou Jia smiled at Li Mei and a dozen other female workers: "It's almost New Year's Eve, and my aunts have worked hard these past few months. To express my gratitude, I prepared a small gift to thank everyone."

   Li Mei said happily after hearing this: "It stands to reason that we should thank Mr. Zhou, let's have a fat year this year, don't you think!"

   Li said with a hearty smile: "Yeah! Mr. Zhou, is this job still available next year?"

   "Yes, on the eighth day of the lunar new year, everyone will come to start work, and then the fourteenth and fifteenth days will officially start work after two days." Zhou Jia took the red envelope from Jixiang, "This is the New Year red envelope sent to everyone."

   Zhou Jia distributed red envelopes to a few people, and asked Butcher He to cut a piece of meat weighing four or five kilograms for each of them.

   Everyone was so happy that they couldn't close their mouths, and saluted Zhou Jia gratefully, "Mr. Zhou, thank you very much, we will work hard next year."

   Butcher He packed up his things and said with a smile: "You guys are good at sitting in the house, where the rain won't get you, and the sun won't shine. At the end of the year, the owner will give you a New Year's gift."

   "Yeah! We also think this is a good job, so we want to continue doing it next year."

   Everyone happily went back with the red envelopes and meat. Jixiang brought the gift for Li Yu into the house. Li Yu saw that there was cloth, a gift box and a few pieces of fur.

   Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia embarrassedly, "Mr. Zhou, you are too polite, and you brought so many things."

"It's just a little thought," Zhou Jia smiled and looked at Li Yu, she was still wearing a dark muslin dress, and her delicate facial features seemed to have a kind of heroic beauty. Zhou Jia couldn't help but see Li Yu Yinghong again. Lips, he hurriedly raised the account book in his hand, and said with a smile, "After a few months of hard work, it's time for us to share the dividends."

   Li Yu looked at Zhou Jia with a smile, "Okay! After working so hard for so long, I finally see the harvest today."

The two entered the main room and sat down, Zhou Jia took out the account book, smiled at Li Yu and said, "We started selling bags in mid-October, and today it's just two months and a few days. I'll count with you after a year. In addition to the capital, we made a total of more than 6,000 taels of silver in the past two months. The two of us can share 3,530 taels. those bags."

Li Yu smiled happily after hearing this, and sincerely thanked Zhou Jia, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou, if you hadn't used a few shops to sell these bags, you definitely wouldn't have made so much money, and I will cooperate with you. It's really reassuring."

   Zhou Jia was overjoyed when he saw Li Yu's joyful appearance. He looked at Li Yu with a smile on his face, and subconsciously softened his voice, "Finally, I have lived up to your trust, and I am very happy that you are satisfied."

  Li Yu avoided Zhou Jia's eyes, looked down at the account book and said, "I still want to thank you."

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu's escaping expression, knowing that Li Yu had discovered his joy for her, looked at Li Yu and said with a smile: "Then I have a small wish, can Miss Li help me realize it?"

  Li Yu looked up at Zhou Jia and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, let me hear what you say."

   Zhou Jia looked at Li Yu, "Can we not be so polite in the future, let's call each other by name, and I would like to invite you and Ah Qing to go to Qingshan City to celebrate the Lantern Festival with Aqing, okay?

  Li Yu thought for a moment, then smiled heartily, "I'll call you Zhou Jia in the future, you can also call me Xiaoyu, and why is it the Lantern Festival?"

   Zhou Jia smiled and looked at Li Yu, "Because that day is my birthday, I want to spend it with you."

   Li Yu asked inexplicably: "What about your family? Don't they accompany you?"

   Zhou Jia lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "The two closest relatives of mine have left, and the others are people who want me to die."

Here I would like to thank my dear readers and friends for encouraging me, helping me catch bugs, and giving rewards and recommendations.
