Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Chapter 29 1 Family’s Maid 25

The width of this river is only four to five meters, and the current is gentle. There are large and small rocks under the water. The water level is not high, only reaching his knees. With Li Qingshu's height, it is probably at the level of his thighs, so if he goes into the water, Just in case, he had to be tied with a straw rope.

But after I got into the water, I realized that I could actually touch a lot of snails even while standing on the shore.

This river has probably been repaired by the villagers. There are actually stone embankments on both sides to prevent soil loss. Although it is less than knee high, it does count as an embankment, so it looks a bit like a canal. Looks good.

I stepped on it and tried it, and it was quite strong.

There are also a lot of snails attached to it, and you can grab a handful of them, which fully proves the meaning of no one eating them. They are all about the size of a thumb, and they are really enjoyable to touch!

When Qingshu panted and came over with a wooden bucket, he had already filled less than half of the bucket.

"Sister Dahua, you touched so many things so quickly?" Li Qingshu put the bucket down and quickly took off his shoes and rolled up his trousers.

"Wait a minute." Mei Qianghua quickly stopped her, "Just touch it on the shore. If you see it, it will be better if you reach out and grab it."

"But..." I want to go to the river and play in the water.

"What's wrong?" There was uncertainty in his tone.

Li Qingshu shook his head knowingly, "I'll just touch it on the shore."

There is so much joy when you touch the snail, but so much pain when you take it back.

A barrel of screws.

The barrel is at least fifty centimeters high and about forty centimeters in diameter. A full barrel is heavy!

This material is quite abundant!

Qingshu was carrying a new empty wooden barrel, and he was carrying a barrel of snails. Both of their faces were flushed by the sun, but the joy of harvest was enough to offset them.

"Huh? It's grandma and grandpa, why are they here?" Li Qingshu's sharp eyes saw the two people standing in the yard first.

Mei Qianghua looked up and saw two people looking at her with smiles.

His eyes flashed. They came faster than he thought. He thought they would have to observe and discuss for a few days.

"Grandpa Li, Grandma Sun, why are you here?"

"Yes, grandpa and grandma, do you have anything to do with Sister Dahua?"

The patriarch's wife rolled her eyes at her little grandson, as if she were a member of Dahua's family, "Can't I come and chat with you, Sister Dahua, if I have nothing to do?"

"Hehe." Li Qingshu giggled, "Yes."

"You stupid kid," the patriarch's wife scolded with a smile. When she saw what Mei Qianghua was carrying, she was surprised and said, "Why did you come back with so many snails? This thing is not delicious and it requires seasoning. Is it because we don't eat it at home?" Already?"

Patriarch Li said on the side, "If there is not enough food, just tell us."

"There is still food." She said, pretending to be embarrassed: "I have seen someone say that the snails are delicious when they are cooked. I thought I would give them a try, but it will only take some time."

Li Dahua was given away penniless, with no land or anything, and she didn't know where her next meal would be. This was also the reason why many villagers did not come to the house.

Seeing Mei Qianghua's clever plan, Patriarch Li and his wife sighed in their hearts. The Li Zhuzhu family really has no vision!

Patriarch Li said the reason why he came.

"Did you make the tofu you asked Qing Shu to deliver at noon?"

Mei Qianghua nodded and said: "I don't remember where I saw this method before. It said it can make more food, so I wanted to give it a try."

"How much can it change?" Patriarch Li was a little surprised.

"I don't know, but I used less than two kilograms to make a lot. I asked Qingshu to send half of it back, and I kept half of it."

"So much?" The patriarch's wife was surprised. She probably weighed the tofu when it was delivered. It weighed at least three kilograms. If she had half of it here, wouldn't it mean that a total of six kilograms of food could be produced?

Mei Qianghua nodded, "There are still some grain residues left, which are still edible. Even people who can't eat livestock can still eat them."

"How much grain residue is left?" Patriarch Li asked.

"It weighs less than a pound."

Patriarch Li and his wife looked at each other. It was incredible that two kilograms of grain could produce so much.

Patriarch Li coughed and said, "Dahua, your grandma Sun and I came here because we have something to tell you."

"Ah?" Mei Qianghua asked pretending not to understand: "What's the matter?"

"I know!" Li Qingshu on the side interjected, "It must be because of the tofu thing. I have never seen it in my whole life. I can definitely sell it for money!"

The patriarch's wife patted the back of his head angrily, "What's wrong with you? Why don't you go clean the snails and let them spit out sand!"

Li Qingshu screamed and started to get busy. He couldn't lift a bucket of screws, so he divided them several times.

Patriarch Li: "Qing Shu is right, we are here just for the tofu."

Mei Qianghua blinked, "Did the seller sell it or did he sell it himself?" A proper reminder that he was not really brainless.

Patriarch Li was silent for a while and asked: "What do you want to do?"

Mei Qianghua said, "If I can really sell it for money, I am willing to cooperate with you." After all, it is impossible for him and his body does not allow him to engage in long-term work of making tofu.

There are three hardships in life: punting, blacksmithing, and grinding tofu.

Punting: When the boat is sailing in the wind and waves, there is always the danger of capsizing and killing someone.

Blacksmithing: enduring the heat day and night by the furnace, living is like going to hell.

Buying tofu: sleeping in the middle of the night and getting up at the fifth, doing donkey work, and earning only a small amount of money to survive.

Of course, here, when the method of making tofu is not leaked, they can certainly make money, and even make a lot of money in the early stage, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. Don’t underestimate the working people’s ability to eat. wisdom.

Many times, they are just on the line of food and clothing, and have no money at all to eat, rather than not knowing how.

And the most important thing is that this is ancient times, road transportation is underdeveloped, tofu goes bad quickly, and most importantly, the population demand, so how much you earn is actually determined.

Patriarch Li, also known as Li Hongcai, felt that he had made a mistake. This girl might not be as weak as he thought.

"You come up with the recipe and I'll share the profit half of it!" Li Hongcai clapped his hands.

"Okay!" Mei Qianghua agreed without hesitation. This is ancient times, and grinding tofu requires hard grinding. It is not modern industrialization, and there are various machines that can be used.

"What do you need to make tofu?" Li Hongcai thought to prepare it quickly and sell it as early as possible.

The children and grandchildren in the family are getting older, and there are more places where they need to spend money. If there is enough money, he would like to send all the grandchildren to school in one go to learn to read.

The reason why I didn't give them to any of them before was just because I couldn't come up with so much money in one go. Their grandchildren were close in age, so whoever gave them first would be afraid that the younger ones below would get upset.

Thinking of this, Li Hongcai cursed Li Zhuzhu in his heart. It was this stupid thing that made the clan uneasy!
