Chapter 41
However, cooking in iron pots costs oil. In addition to the Chinese New Year, everyone likes to stew in casseroles.
Add a lot of radish and vegetables, so you can eat it by pouring some water and adding a little salt. How time-saving and labor-saving the key is to save money.
This was taught to her by Sister Li, and because Fang Qingqing proposed to use lard to wrap pancake crust, her mother-in-law took out the iron pot at home.
A small piece of fat meat was cut and the lard residue was hidden, saying that he would keep it and eat it slowly for the New Year.
At this time, there were still two months before the Chinese New Year, and the lard residue was not full in total, the egg-sized plate.
Fang Qingqing was simply confused at that time. Who told her that the old Li family was the richest in Hongqiao Village?
That's it-
This is still the richest person, how poor are those poor families?
She remembered the plot of that book. After the autumn examination next year, Li San's son won the exam and followed him to Beijing to take the exam for more than a year before he won the top scorer.
However, after winning the top scorer, he would not be able to be promoted and made a fortune immediately. The whole family had a good life. He had been in the Hanlin Academy for two years and was transferred to the local county magistrate for three years and was transferred back to Beijing by his superiors.
After that, Li Sanlang's road to Qingyun.
In other words, even if she can always be Li Sanlang's wife, she has to live a poor life with the Li family for a few years. She is afraid that before her husband can get promoted and get rich, she will starve to death because there is no oil in her stomach.
So Fang Qingqing made up her mind to find a way to get rid of poverty and become rich and prosperous. Of course, under the current circumstances, she cannot rely on herself alone.
The best situation is to let the Li family work with her, and see if there is any chance to repay the Fang family. When I went back, the yard was quiet. Although most of the families in the village had already started to have fun, Old Man Li was diligent.
Last year, I took my two sons out to do carpentry work the year before. Although I didn’t find any work this year, the third wife was lucky and capable to find other ways for her family.
Li Dalang went to the county town to sell things, so Old Man Li simply took his second son and a few other young men to fertilize.
After spring, fertilizer is needed, so you have to take advantage of this time to get things done.
Li Ersan also went with her. Although she was slutty, she had to admit that she was good at working and had strength.
Because of this reason, Li's mother was willing to hire this daughter-in-law.
But Li Xiaomei stayed at home, and Li’s mother was taking her to do needlework.
It’s time for the younger sister to see her. Li’s mother thought of keeping her at home to raise her more, and then doing a better job in her husband’s house.
Because old man Li Dalang and Li Erlang work hard, his clothes wear quickly, while Li Sanlang's cuffs are prone to breakage. In the long run, Li's mother has developed good sewing and threading skills.
The stitches are neat and meticulous. Fang Qingqing sighs whenever he sees them. The needlework made by sewing machines in later generations is nothing more than that.
Li's mother kept moving, but she looked up at Fang Qingqing with a smile on her face, "Are you back?"
"Well, mom, I'll be back first."
Fang Qingqing thought a lot along the way, but in the end, she decided to tell the truth about her thoughts with her mother-in-law.
In fact, after reading the undergraduate entrance examination article, there were so many female characters in it, and the one who impressed Fang Qingqing the most was that scholar's mother.
She was just an ordinary country background. Later, Li Xiuping was granted a title of marquis and prime minister and also invited his mother to an imperial decree. In a place like the capital, she could live in peace with a group of noble ladies.
This shows the skills of the scholar-in-law.
As a woman from the new century, Fang Qingqing naturally knows that she should never underestimate women's abilities.
Even though her mother-in-law rarely goes out and wanders around Hongqiao Village at the farthest, Fang Qingqing never dared to underestimate her mother-in-law's vision and ability.
If you want to live a better life in the future, you must not hide some things from the people who can be the masters of the family.
So, Fang Qingqing said to Li’s mother directly: “Mom, my husband will have to go home after a month tomorrow. I bought eight liang of meat on the street and came back to replenish my husband’s body.”
But she saw that Li's mother suddenly widened her eyes, as if the third daughter-in-law had said something terrifying.
"What did you buy?"
The first time Fang Qingqing was treated like this by her mother-in-law, she was shocked.
He swallowed carefully before continuing, "Mom, I said I, I bought meat."
Li's mother put down the object in her hand in a quick manner, first signaled Li Xiaomei to close the door, and then approached Fang Qingqing and asked in a low voice:
"Where did you get the money to buy meat?"
Not to mention the money that is full of money, Li’s mother knows the situation of the Fang family. Old Man Fang takes a long time to treat his legs. Every time he asks a doctor to change the medicine, it requires money.
The fourth child of the Fang family cannot not marry a wife. I heard that Liu is looking for someone to hire him recently.
Even though the two old men in the Fang family loved their little daughter, they could still distinguish between major events. Fang Qingqing married him so much that he was really poor.
If it weren't for the fact that Saburo's health began to improve after she brought her luck and indeed married, ordinary mother-in-law wouldn't have liked such a daughter-in-law.
In short, Li's mother felt that she was very tolerant and generous. Look how good she was to the third wife.
So, where did Qingqing get the money for buying meat?
Their old Li family had no spare money. Except for the last ten cents, Li Muke never gave Fang Qingqing a penny. The money in her family was in her hands.
The last time the third wife had already spent the ten cents.
Thinking of this, Li's mother couldn't help but frown.
Although the old Li family is ordinary, she and the old man have always taught their son to be upright and not tolerate people with unclean hands and feet.
Fang Qingqing honestly explained:
"Because my husband's classmates also wanted to drink tofu, they actually ate average, so I brought pancakes and fruits there. Not much, only three classmates gave me a total of twenty cents."
This time, Li's mother couldn't speak.
Although the money earned by the three brothers of the family has not yet been managed by Li's mother, if she has the ability to save money secretly in each house, she will just turn a blind eye.
What's more, this business was originally designed by the third wife, so Qingqing just used the food delivery to make some small money.
As a result, I thought so, but I saw Fang Qingqing take out ten copper coins and hand them in front of me.
"Mom, I thought about buying meat because I felt that my husband had worked hard to study and wanted to nourish his body, but I knew that I should pay the money for me."
So, she sold a total of twenty cents, except for taking out ten cents to buy meat, but she immediately handed over the other ten cents.
