Chapter 18 Zhao's brother and sister-in-law join the money-making team to help Li Rong
"So much money!" He Xing was shocked. Li Rong could actually give her such a high salary. It didn't take much to think about how much she could earn.
Sixty yuan can be said to be a huge amount of money.
Even a country person can't save a hundred yuan a year. If she works with Li Rong, she only needs to spend half a day working for Li Rong, and she can save sixty yuan a month!
"I'll do it!" He Xing settled the account more readily than Zhao Qingyang promised.
Zhao Qingyang glanced at her: "Why don't you think about it for a while? It was you who was afraid just now, and you are the fastest to change your mind now."
He Xing had a stern look on her face, but thinking of her two sons and the sixty yuan, He Xing had the courage again and looked at her man in the eyes: "You don't care about me."
Over the years, she has been working hard. She has not saved much money, and her children are not in school.
She didn't want her child to be as miserable as she was. She wanted her son to eat meat every day, drink malted milk, and sit in the classroom to learn knowledge.
She looked at her man firmly: "Da Niu is eight years old and hasn't gone to school yet. He spends his days playing in the fields. When he grows up, do you want him to work in the fields and become a farmer?"
Zhao Qingyang was silent. He had followed Mother Zhao's temperament. Over the years, she had worked hard to get married and have children. Now that the opportunity to make money was placed in front of him, he hesitated to take it.
He Xing pinched his arm: "I'm going to send Daniel and Erniu to school in the spring, and I won't care about you anymore."
Li Rong echoed from the side: "In a few years, the big guys will be old enough to go to school, and no amount of money can buy the opportunity to study. We used to go to school when we were young, and we learned different things at each age.
From the basic foundation at the beginning to the more difficult knowledge later, it is all step-by-step. If you miss the age, you will fall far behind others."
Li Rong has a God's perspective and knows that it won't be long before these ten years are over. By then, farmers can have their own land, business is no longer speculation, and children can pass the college entrance examination and go to university to leave the countryside. Some industrial countries will also support...
.
But she couldn't say this, and no one would believe her if she did.
"Fuck!" Zhao Qingyang responded angrily.
With the participation of the Zhao family's eldest brother and sister-in-law, Li Rong's braised pork business has been easy and smooth.
The two grown men sent out the braised pork every day, and then went to a fixed point to bring back the fresh pork. Li Rong and He Xing braised the meat every day.
He Xing is an honest person, but not pedantic. After staying with Li Rong for a long time, he learned more things and the relationship between the two became very harmonious.
In He Xing's heart, Li Rong was indeed an educated young man who had gone to school, and his thoughts and demeanor were different from theirs.
Under the influence of Li Rong, and He Xing's pockets gradually bulging, He Xing began to be willing to spend money, and no longer looked like he was trying to save money. The most obvious thing was to improve the diet of the old Zhao family, so that the old Zhao family could live better.
I started living a life of eating meat and white rice.
When Dan Niu and Er Niu heard that He Xing said that they could be sent to school next year, they were so happy that they jumped up and down in the yard.
The days flew by like water, and the weather became cold.
Braised pork is a cold dish, and sales dropped significantly when the weather got cold. After careful consideration, Li Rong decided to suspend the braised pork business.
Zhao Qingsong listened to her and resumed his job of delivering goods to the pig slaughtering farm.
Li Rong found a sunny day, wrapped herself in a thick coat, got on her bicycle and went to the 'free market' to make purchases.
When she arrived at the market, she went straight to the stall where she had bought malted milk before.
It was so cold that she loved drinking water soaked in malted milk more and more. She boiled the water the night before and put it in a kettle. In the morning, she used an enamel cup to make a large cup and drank a bowl of hot wheat in the cold morning.
Not to mention how comfortable the cream is.
She came out today and He Xing had to go to work, otherwise Li Rong would have brought her out to go shopping together.
Because the brothers have a good relationship and the two couples now work together, the sisters-in-law are now very close and often go out together. Li Rong can take He Xing out on her bicycle.
He Xing didn't come today. She knew that Li Rong wanted to buy malted milk, so she asked her to buy a can.
So, Li Rong bought four cans, two for herself, one for He Xing, and one for Zhao and his wife to drink.
As the winter solstice was approaching, Li Rong rested for a while and then started to work again, thinking quickly about ways to make money.
Since we can’t sell cold braised pork in winter, we can make sausages and sell them.
He Xing and Li Rong had been making braised pork for a period of time and made some money, which was very exciting. Later, when Li Rong said that he would stop the braised pork business, He Xing was missing a huge source of salary. He Xing was sad for this.
time.
When the news came that Li Rong was back in business, she didn't even need to say what she was going to do. She just called He Xing and came over to help.
The sausages at this time were all made of real materials. They did not have artificial casings like in later generations. No matter how hard it was, you could buy ready-made casings. In short, they were all real and fake for convenience.
Unlike all sausage casings nowadays, which are made by washing pig intestines and scraping off the grease, the materials are real and healthy.
So the most troublesome thing about making sausage now is washing the casings.
And because of the cold weather, washing sausage casings is a grueling job.
He Xing was diligent and was very serious about washing the casings. Sometimes the water was so cold that it stung her hands and she was still washing it carefully. Li Rong couldn't get enough of it, so she took out the coals for the kang and lit a fire nearby.
Li Rong likes the Sichuan-Sichuan sausage, which is made with Sichuan peppercorns and green peppers. It tastes salty, spicy, and has a mellow flavor that leaves people with a long aftertaste.
Grind the spices into powder according to a certain proportion and mix with the pork to marinate, then stuff it into the sausage casing. Use a rope to tie the stuffed sausage into a section-by-section shape, and use a needle to poke some holes to release the air inside.
Get up to dry.
The finished product made from deflated sausages has firm meat and a very beautiful cut surface.
Dajiang Village has a good location, and the cool weather is also suitable for drying sausages.
The sausage will be ready after drying for half a month.
Li Rong picked some that were not in good condition and kept them for herself, and then picked some for He Xing: "Sister-in-law, take them and cook them tonight."
"How can this be done? It's for sale. I don't want it." He Xingtou waved his hand.
Li Rong blinked: "It's just a few sausages. I'll give them to my parents. Please make them for them."
Speaking of this matter, He Xing naturally could not refuse the filial piety offered by the second daughter-in-law on behalf of the two elders of the Zhao family, and finally accepted it.
Li Rong taught her how to cook it deliciously: "Slice it and stew it in rice, stir-fry it with sweet beans, or stir-fry it with corn kernels. It's very fragrant."
He Xing made stewed rice with sausages and stir-fried sweet beans with sausages as she said. Lao Zhao just immersed himself in eating tonight. His stomach was full and round, and he said with satisfaction: "This food is really delicious, even better than pork."
