Chapter 78 Where did the black chicken soup come from?
"The meal is ready. You should eat more later to see how thin you become."
Li Jingming frowned, raised his hand and pinched the tip of Yang Lina's nose. Yang Lina's face suddenly became hot and red, and she turned around and ran to the well to wash her hands.
This man is teasing himself again out of nowhere.
Li Jingming moved the kitchen table under the eaves, put the dishes on the table, served Yang Lina the soup, got up, took a bottle of Erguotou and poured himself a cup.
Looking at the chicken soup on the table, Yang Lina was stunned.
Where did the black-bone chicken soup come from? Maybe he killed the black-bone chicken in the backyard.
"Where did this black chicken come from?"
"I killed the ones in the backyard just for you. To see how thin you are, drink more tonic."
Yang Lina felt warm in her heart and her eyes were red.
Nowadays, it's good to be able to eat meat a few times throughout the year. Although the two of them are getting better and better, she still can't bear to eat it. After all, the treatment is unrivaled in this era.
If I remember correctly, this chicken was prepared by Wang Ying for Sun Yuxiu, thinking that Sun Yuxiu would replenish her body after giving birth. The older the black-bone chicken is, the more nutritious and delicious the soup will be.
When the family was separated, the original owner didn't think it was fair. He really had no choice, so he ordered more than a dozen chickens, and there happened to be six or seven black-bone chickens in them.
Thinking of this, Yang Lina felt that it was really difficult for the original owner. She had lacked food and clothing, suffered from hunger and cold since she was a child, and she must not treat this body badly in the future.
"Am I going to eat alone?"
Yang Lina had some doubts and felt guilty when she asked.
Even eating a chicken by myself makes me feel guilty and like a thief.
"Hey, drink quickly."
Li Jingming's tone was stern, but with a smile on his face, he raised his head and drank a cup of Erguotou. When he saw Yang Lina moving her chopsticks, he started to eat.
Yang Lina saw the small gesture and felt warm in her heart, feeling that she had not seen the wrong person.
I secretly felt that it seemed like I had made the right choice when I refused to divorce for the sake of living.
Yang Lina drank two large bowls of soup in succession. She hadn't even eaten a few mouthfuls of rice, but her stomach was already full. Seeing that there was another half bowl of soup in the bowl, she covered her stomach and moved away from the dining table.
"I really can't eat anymore, please eat quickly."
A black-bone chicken was eaten up by Li Jingming, and half of the rice was left. Yang Lina filled half a bucket of cold water, put the rice into a basin, and then put the basin into a bucket. This way, the rice would not spoil easily and could be cooked into porridge or eggs tomorrow morning.
Fried rice to avoid wasting it.
The two of them lived a very happy life.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Jingming folded wicker sticks early in the morning and stuck them at the door of each room in his house. He also pulled out a lot of mugwort and dried it in the yard. He took the snacks wrapped by Yang Lina and sent them to Li's father and mother.
Yang Lina did not go to avoid the embarrassment of bumping into Wang Ying.
In the past two days, the news of Sun Yuxiu making tofu has spread around the village. Today is the festival, and Sun Yuxiu made two pots of tofu in succession. Li Jingcheng took one pot to the town and sold it, and kept the other pot at home for the villagers to sell.
When Li Jingming went there, Sun Yuxiu was already making the second pot, and Jingxuan was helping to light the fire in the kitchen. When she saw her eldest brother, he looked like a child who had done something wrong, and his head was about to hit the ground.
"Brother."
Li Jingxuan's voice was small and he didn't dare to look at Li Jingming.
"Well, let me deliver the snacks made by your sister-in-law and the rice dumplings made by your sister-in-law. Also, if you have time to go to the city with her someday."
"good."
Li Jingxuan wanted to ask what he was doing, but he couldn't open his mouth.
"Your sister-in-law asked you to help your second sister-in-law well. She will go to college. If she wants to go home, she will have to wait until the end of the year.
Your sister-in-law also said, don’t have random thoughts in your mind all day long, and be calm and collected when encountering problems. You have already been impulsive twice, so think carefully about what you say next time."
After Li Jingming said hello, he turned around and left. He had to go to Zhang Kai's house.
Li Jingxuan lit the fire and shed tears silently, expressing sincere regret.
She herself found that she was hopelessly stupid, and it was obvious that what happened the first two times was not a big deal.
He obviously wanted to do good things, but he ended up self-defeating every time and hurting Yang Lina's heart.
Li Jingxuan burst into tears and sniffed silently, while Sun Yuxiu shook her head helplessly.
"Jingxuan, my sister-in-law is right. You have to be careful about what you do and say in the future. From the moment your college entrance examination results come out, your future is destined to be different from ours. You have to remember how good your family is to you."
Sun Yuxiu has seen how quickly people change.
As for Jingxuan, she still has a long way to go, and I hope she can make the right choice in the future.
Yang Lina arranged for Sun Yuxiu. Don’t be afraid of hard work on the festival day. Make more tofu. When selling, buy three kilograms and get one kilogram free, so as to leave a good reputation for your tofu.
Sure enough, this method worked very well. Before noon, the two pots of tofu had been sold out. If the soaked soybeans were not gone, Sun Yuxiu would have wanted to make another pot.
I soaked 40 pounds of soybeans last night and made a total of 120 pounds of tofu, which cost 30 cents per pound. I bought three and got one free and sold it for 340 yuan and 60 cents.
A pound of soybeans costs 10 cents. After deducting the cost of 4 yuan of soybeans, the net profit is 30 yuan and 60 cents.
The two of them held the money in their hands, too excited to believe it.
"Jingcheng, pinch me quickly. Is this true? I earned more than thirty yuan in one morning. Isn't this a dream?"
When it comes to money, my family harvests more than a thousand kilograms of wheat a year. I keep what I eat and sell the rest for more than 100 yuan. The soybeans that no one wants are processed a little, and I can earn this much in a day.
Before making tofu, Sun Yuxiu thought she could make some money by selling tofu. It wasn't until Yang Lina renovated her home, made clothes for Jingxuan and her, and gave her cream and white flour rice that she realized she was short-sighted.
Now, Yang Lina handed over the tofu business to her. She was very grateful, but at the same time, she was worried that Yang Lina would not have a way to survive and she would steal their jobs.
Soon, she gave up the idea. Seeing Yang Lina's decisiveness, she secretly swore in her heart that in this life, this woman was not only her sister-in-law, but also her food, clothing, parents, and her benefactor.
"Fool, you didn't dream. I've counted this money three times, but it's broken even after counting."
Li Jingcheng was suave and lit a cigarette for himself, feeling warm in his heart.
This money is hard money, but it is much easier than farming.
I just don’t know what my sister-in-law is going to do next. If she has something to do, she can still do a solid job in this business. If there is no business to do, how can he sell tofu with peace of mind?
Zhang Kaikai went home to thresh wheat with his old couple, the four children were playing together on the kang, and Tian Li was busy making pancakes in the kitchen.
On the Dragon Boat Festival for northerners, ordinary families will make flower steamed buns, which will be embossed with combs, and only those with good conditions will make rice dumplings.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, rice dumplings cost 20 cents each, and no one is willing to buy them, so they can only make flower buns for their parents’ and husband’s families.
Tian Li blushed immediately when she saw how many packages Li Jingming was carrying.
She knew how embarrassing the last incident was.
But when she woke up, she found out that Yang Lina was holding her and crying, and she was deeply moved in her heart.
She didn't expect that a person who didn't have a close relationship with her would be her savior.
