Lucky husband

Mrs. Li's words made Li Chengli's face flush again. The last time he sent fish home, his mother had already told him in private, but he failed to do so. He didn't manage Xinghua well, and asked her and Mingcai to go to mother again. There was a commotion over there.

Li Chengli took over Li Mingcai from Li Chengzhi: "Mother, I will definitely teach Mingcai well in the future, Xinghua... Xinghua, I will talk about her again."

Li Ming just listened to what the adults said, and probably understood that he would not be able to eat pig-shaved soup today, so he twisted and shouted in Li Chengli's hands: "Girl is biased, give Li Mingjin and Li Mingyue two losers to eat pig-shaved pork Soup, don’t give it to Ming, I want to eat pork chop soup!”

Li Chengli slapped Li Mingcai's buttocks. Even through the thick winter clothes, this vigorous slap still hurt Li Mingcai. His crying stopped, and after a while Only then burst into tears: "Mom!"

Is it really crying or not? Qian Xinghua's face changed accordingly. She didn't care about the fact that Mrs. Li was still there. What, you don’t have the ability, your son can’t eat meat, so blame my son for doing it!”

The crying of his son and daughter-in-law made Li Cheng overwhelmed. He didn't know what to say, so he said with a dark face: "If he wants to eat meat, you can go to the butcher to buy it. What are you going to do with your mother!"

Qian Xinghua was furious: "You don't need money to buy meat, you can buy it if you say it, and you will get the money back!"

Seeing the two of them quarreling, Mrs. Li felt restless and didn't want to take care of their room anymore, so she dragged Li Chengzhi back.

Without Mrs. Li by her side, Qian Xinghua coaxed Li Mingcai: "Mother's darling, don't cry, mother will cut meat for you to eat later, your two loser sisters don't have to eat, Only give it to Mingcai alone, be good, don’t cry, it makes my mother feel so distressed..."

Hearing that there is meat to eat, Liming hiccupped and gradually stopped crying. He thought for a while and said, "Mom, I want to eat braised pork, and I want to eat a whole bowl by myself."

The braised pork should be made with fat and thin pork. This is a dish that consumes oil, sugar and firewood. Before the separation, it is the New Year’s Eve dinner on the night of the Chinese New Year. Granny Li will take the trouble to make a portion , Liming has been craving braised pork for a long time.

Seeing her son finally stopped crying, Qian Xinghua gritted her teeth and agreed: "Okay, okay, braised pork is braised pork."

When I was in Li's house before, there was an old lady Li who suppressed me. Although the girl in the family would eat less meat, at least one or two yuan could always be eaten when the family ate together.After the separation, Li Chengli often went out to do part-time jobs and did not understand the family situation. It was not until just now that Qian Xinghua's eccentricity was fully exposed to his eyes.

Li Chengli disapproved and said: "Xinghua, Miss Chun and Girl Xia are both our children. After buying meat, the two girls can also eat it. It's not just Ming who eats it alone."

"Fart, two losers, they will marry sooner or later, how can you let them eat meat!" Qian Xinghua jumped three feet high, "If you want to give them two meat to eat, you can buy it yourself, don't even think about using mine. Give them money to buy meat!"

In her eyes, both the girl and brother are going to get married, and she can only count on her baby Mingcai in the future. It is a waste of her own money to feed and dress the two girls well.

Hearing the movement next door in her own yard, Mrs. Li couldn't figure it out. Mrs. Qian from the Qian family is not a person who treats girls harshly. She is also very good to Qian Xinghua. How did Qian Xinghua develop such a character? Yes, it's fine if she doesn't treat her two daughters kindly, and she doesn't care much about her natal family.

Don't think about it if you don't understand it. Mrs. Li returned to the main room and called everyone to continue eating.

After Mrs. Li and the others went out just now, everyone in Li's family stopped their chopsticks. Fortunately, the pig soup was a big pot with a lot of juice, and it didn't cool down after a while, so it was just right to eat.

As for the other dishes that were slightly colder, Madam Li refused to let Bai Xiuhe take them to the stove to heat them up, so everyone ate pork-shaved soup at noon, and the remaining ones were just warmed up at night before eating.

The noise from the second room can be clearly heard from the main room. Even if there are sons and grandsons talking about interesting things to distract attention from the meal, Mrs. Li and Old Man Li still didn’t enjoy eating very happily, and they finished eating in three or two bites .

After eating the planed pig soup, Mrs. Li called Old Man Li, took the eldest son and the third son aside, and talked about her concerns about the rice noodle business: "You two brothers, analyze carefully, can the rice noodle business be successful? For a long time? Parents have been digging in the soil all their lives, and have never done business, so they are always worried."

"Mother, the business has been very good these days, and I think it should be able to last for a long time." Li Chengzhi believes that selling rice noodles is a business that can last for a long time, "It's just that after the new year, our rice noodle business will definitely change. Difference."

Granny Li became nervous when she heard this. How could the good rice noodle business go bad?

Li Chengzhi continued: "Father, mother, think about it, our family is the only one selling rice noodles now, and other people find that our rice noodles are easy to sell, and they will definitely follow suit after the new year, and more people will sell them by then. , isn't our business not so good?"

This was figured out by Li Chengzhi when he was free selling rice noodles. Recently, several people asked him where he bought rice noodles. Although he didn't say anything, rice noodles are sold in many shops and stalls in Fucheng. I know, he can't stop it.

He had thought about it. If he wanted to keep his business going, he had to find a way to make the rice noodles in broth more delicious, or make the rice noodles in fish soup that he had thought about before, and he could also study several kinds of rice noodles with different flavors. .

In fact, Li Chengzhi had a vague idea. He felt that if he figured out this idea, the rice noodle business would be able to continue. Go to Fucheng and talk to the shopkeeper of Huiqiankun to see if you can get any inspiration.

Li Chengzhi revealed his plan, but Mrs. Li's worries did not ease at all. At their age, they like to think of the worst in everything, and they have heard others say that the risk of doing business is high, and it is easy to lose money if something goes wrong.

Seeing this, Li Chengshi expressed his opinion: "I also think that the rice noodle business of the eldest brother and sister-in-law can continue. It is true that it is during the Chinese New Year, and it is easier to make money in business than usual. When the year is over, there will be no rice noodles. It’s so easy to sell, my eldest brother just came home to help my father with the spring plowing, if my sister-in-law wants to continue selling rice noodles in the county, I’ll ask the patrolling brothers to pay more attention to my sister-in-law’s stall, and there will be no problems.”

"Father and mother, do the math, now two hundred bowls of rice noodles are sold every day, if the business is not so good in the future, if you only sell one hundred bowls, or even fifty bowls, you can earn about 150 yuan a day , is better than elder brother going out to work part-time."

"Also, I personally think it's not necessarily a bad thing for everyone to start selling rice noodles. When rice noodles become something that everyone eats frequently, the number of people who love to eat rice noodles may increase, and the business will not decrease but increase."

Whenever a new thing or government order is about to be implemented, people who have never been in contact with it before will not accept this new thing so quickly at first, and their attitude will slowly change after everyone has more contact with it.

Now, the number of people who have eaten rice noodles in the entire county is not many. When more places start selling rice noodles and more people eat rice noodles, some people may find that they like rice noodles very much.

Mrs. Li didn't quite understand Li Chengshi's meaning, but old man Li understood a little bit, and said: "Since you two brothers know what they mean, then parents will stop talking. Remember, you can't write two words of Li Chengshi in one stroke." Words, you two are blood brothers, only by supporting each other can our family get better and better, don't be like the second child, you know?"

This is the first time that old man Li has said this about Li Chengli to his other sons. He can see that what Li Chengli has done during this period has disappointed him, so he will say this.

Li Chengzhi and Li Chengshi replied in unison: "Father, we know."

Old man Li nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, boss, you have to sell rice noodles for the last day tomorrow, so go and prepare it with your wife. Third, you just came back from the county government, so go and spend more time with your wife. I have a relationship with your mother." In other words, you go your own way.”

After the two sons left, Mrs. Li asked the old man puzzledly: "Old man, do you understand what the two sons mean?"

Old man Li replied: "Well, I understand."

Mrs. Li poked him, and asked anxiously: "What do you understand? Please explain clearly, I am confused by the third child."

"The boss means that when the business of soup rice noodles is not so good, he and his eldest daughter-in-law will think about the taste of the rice noodles. What the third brother means is that the business of rice noodles will not necessarily deteriorate because of other people selling rice noodles." Old man Li Usually he doesn't talk much, he said a lot just now and drank his saliva quickly.

Granny Li slapped her thigh: "Why won't it become less? Others sell rice noodles, so everyone will go to other people's place to eat. The third child is really a kid. How come he looks like a boy in his thirties? It's unimaginable."

After thinking about how to explain it, old man Li said, "Don't worry, old lady, just think about it first, how many grocery stores are there in the county town, how many cloth and clothing stores are there, how many restaurants and inns are there, they are also in the grocery business, The cloth business and the food business are also open in the same county, as long as the business is honest, there will be customers willing to come to the door, do you understand?"

Mrs. Li recalled how she used to go to the county to buy things. Basically, as long as the price is fair and the things are real, she always buys wherever is convenient.

This is also the reason why Li Chengzhi sells rice noodles. As long as their rice noodles are not short of catties, and the broth is boiled with fresh bones every day without adding water, the taste will always be maintained, and there will always be customers who come to eat rice noodles.

The big stone in her heart finally landed, and Mrs. Li was less worried. She didn't care about Mr. Li. She went out to deal with those fresh pork. While doing things, she thought about telling the boss and the others more. Things must be real.
