The other families quickly flattered Mei Niang: "From Xiaoliu's family, my sisters-in-law will definitely remember your kindness!"
"Yes, from the Xiaoliu family, if anyone wants to bully you in the future, just tell your sister-in-law and she will definitely support you!"
Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes, "Why are you still standing there? Go back to your parents' house and tell them the good news. Haven't you noticed that there is one missing person among you?"
Who is missing?
——Wang Ersao.
Second Sister-in-law Wang is the loudspeaker in the village. She is so active in gossiping about other families. She wants to take advantage of things like this. Why don't she run faster and inform her parents' family? Why are she still being so reckless and saying such useless things?
Stupid or not?
Oh, I still have to say nice things, but I have to wait until the incident has passed before I have time to flatter you.
Second Sister-in-law Wang is so smart.
…
The village head's family got the news, but there were a lot of leeks planted in the fields, and they were also in trouble. Sister Zhang immediately took action and asked several daughters-in-law to inform their parents' families first. She also went to her daughter-in-law's house.
The village next door.
Zhang Jiaoer just came back from the fields and saw her mother coming. After a while of surprise, she quickly poured water for Sister Zhang and said, "Mom, why are you here?"
The other sisters-in-law were still mumbling about why Zhang Jiaoer's mother-in-law came to the house empty-handed. As a result, Sister Zhang pulled Jiaoer into the house and said, "Let's go meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law. We have something to say."
Zhang Jiaoer took her mother to the main house.
The father-in-law is still in the field, and the mother-in-law is mainly responsible for the housework at home. When she saw her in-laws coming, she was overjoyed and asked, "Why is my mother-in-law here?"
Sister Zhang didn't have time to drink water, so she told Jiao'er's mother-in-law about the pepper, and persuaded her: "Our family relies on the old lady. Now we have bought two donkeys, and with the blessing of the tofu business, life is much better than before. I'm here with the news.
, I am also worried about Jiaoer and want to help her so that Jiaoer’s life will be easier in the future.”
Mother-in-law: "Here, peppers, I have never heard of such a crop. Isn't it difficult to grow and easy to grow to death?"
Sister Zhang slapped her thigh and said, "If it is really so easy to feed yourself to death, will the old lady sell us seeds? You don't want to think about the character of the old lady, who runs a school shack and has a daughter in the house of a godfather and a fellow villager."
What a talent! You don’t charge any fees for seeing a doctor! How could you possibly harm us?”
Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Sister Zhang took a strong dose and said: "My daughter-in-law is helping the old lady with things. This information is indeed first-hand, but the old lady is not only helped by our Zhang family. If it weren't for the family,
I don’t have enough fields, so I won’t make this trip. If I keep going like this, I’m afraid the pepper seeds will be sold out long ago, and if I want to make another profit, I’ll have to wait until January next year to sow them.
But by then, if so many people know about it, how many people will be staring at the Xiao family’s chili seeds? Even if they don’t stare at the Xiao family, other families will also have to keep an eye on the chili seeds bought from the Xiao family.
The output of peppers is good, and the Xiao family will pay several times the price of grain. This was what the old lady decided at the beginning. If the output is low, or environmental factors lead to a reduction in production, the old lady is a kind person and will not let us suffer such a boring loss.
That is, my in-laws, you have to think clearly. The benefits can only be enjoyed by the first wave of people, but not necessarily in the future.
The longer you hesitate, the opportunity may slip away. When the time comes, will you be able to afford it..."
"Okay, I'll go with you!"
Sister Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, her brows relaxed, and she said, "Okay, leave early and come back early."
Mother-in-law Jiaoer was very lucky that she went there by herself, and she did catch up and ate the first wave of crabs.
Not only Jiaoer's mother-in-law's family, but also people from other villages came to the Xiao family gate, including several family members of the family and their parents' families. They didn't buy many pepper seeds. After all, the spring wheat had just been planted, and a lot of it had been planted.
As for vegetables, I am also afraid that pepper seeds will be planted on my hands and I will not make any money. After all, this is my first time growing vegetables.
After asking about planting methods, a group of people bought seeds and then left.
After Tang Zangyue solved the pepper problem, a few days later, he went to Qian's house halfway up the mountain and moved the wine out of the cellar.
The brewing was very successful. Although the concentration was not strong enough, it was mellow enough. It is definitely enough to warm up the body in winter.
It's just that the sorghum harvest season is in July, and there isn't much sorghum in Tang Zangyue's space right now. If you want to brew again, you have to wait.
However, Tang Zangyue really admired Aunt Liu's magical hands. As long as it was related to eating into the stomach, there would be no failure.
He drove a carriage to transport the wine bottles from Qian's cellar, put them into the space, turned back, and stored them again. Until all the wine was put into the space, Tang Zangyue went to town to buy new ones from the kiln.
The tank is ready to be purchased after the sorghum harvest in July, and then brewed in large quantities.
In late June, the weather gradually became hotter.
Tang Zangyue would fill several corners of the main room with ice buckets every day, waiting for the room to cool down quickly. The water would be used to water the floor or make food at home.
In addition, Liu's restaurant business has not slowed down.
Why?
Liu's Restaurant launched a summer ice drink, packed the popsicles in bronze, and started selling them.
The bronzeware was specially made by a blacksmith shop last year. It can maintain a constant temperature. There are ice cubes at the bottom to cool down, and popsicles of various flavors are placed on the other layer. They are sold at noon and are sold out at noon.
Popsicles are a luxury item for rich families, but Liu's restaurant only sells them for five cents. Isn't this charity?
Five cents is a bit expensive for ordinary people, but in the hot summer, some people are still willing to pay as long as their good grandchildren can breathe a sigh of relief.
This is for flavored popsicles. There are no flavors, only a slightly sweet popsicle, and only costs three cents! Many children can buy a sweet popsicle to relieve the heat by scraping together their New Year's money!
There are many flavors of popsicles to choose from, such as coconut, cantaloupe, apple and pear. Wealthy families are willing to spend money on their children. The children of Luofu’s Xue family and Shopkeeper Chu’s family are the “big households” of Liu’s restaurant.
Change the angle.
Everyone says that Liu's Restaurant is doing good things and that Dr. Tang is a great benefactor. But what is the reality?
In order to avoid having a stomachache, Tang Zangyue had the luxury of burning firewood in winter, and did not spend much else.
Coconuts, cantaloupes, apples and pears are relatively expensive compared to the north. In places where fruits are abundant, the price of these fruits is about the same as that of food. When squeezed into juice, only a few drops of it can be poured into a mold.
It just tastes like fruit.
Cost price of ice = 0.
After all, it was just a matter of leaving it in the cellar for one night.
Therefore, by launching popsicles in the summer, Tang Zangyue not only gained the reputation of being a good person, but also made money. Although this amount of money was pitifully small compared to other money in the space.
However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat.
As a businessman, there is no reason to have too little money.
After the fresh ends of the popsicles were gone, Tang Zangyue placed a small amount of popsicles in the restaurant to sell them.
