After crossing over, it's hard

August [-]th is an auspicious day for moving, so Li Ran decided to move on this day.As usual, moving to a new house is to invite you to a housewarming meal. On August [-]th, Ji Nan and Li Ran drove the ox cart to Pingyang Town to buy the vegetables. Just do it.

Li Ran's housewarming this time, the housewarming dinner invited, except for those few families, almost all of them were dispatched. After all, it was the most magnificent big house in the whole village, and looking at those families who had good friends with Li Ran, that one did not follow Li Ran They have made a lot of money. They came this time because they wanted to build a better relationship with Li Ran. When his family needs to hire someone for work, they will also think of their family. You know, Li Ran hired someone to help him. The salary is extremely high, which is not comparable to ordinary short-term workers and long-term workers, and the work is still very easy.

There were so many people that the yard was almost filled with banquets. Fortunately, Li Ran and Ji Nan bought a lot of vegetables yesterday, otherwise they would not even have enough vegetables.But seeing such a scene, Li Ranhe was very happy. If someone in the country is relocating, please have a housewarming meal. The more people come, the better, and the more lively the scene, the better. This shows that this family is popular. It will also cross the moon like this.Even Zhang Guihua and Ji Ama, who are good friends, are also very happy for Li Ran and Ji Nan when they see such a scene.

The lively scene lasted from morning to afternoon until the villagers dispersed before it was considered clean.Purification means to clean up, but it leaves the whole yard in a mess.There are more than a dozen tables of banquets in the yard, and the people from the countryside are not so particular. The bones and vegetable dregs are all over the floor, and there are oil stains everywhere on the dining table. Li Ran is dizzy from seeing it. It was only when Zhang Guihua, Grandma Ji, Grandma Li and others helped clean up for more than two hours that it was considered clean.

The meal at noon is clean, with only a little soup left. The country people are reluctant to waste things. Now that the weather is still relatively hot, these extra things cannot be stored for a long time.In the evening, Li Ran fried a few more dishes with ample portions, and kept Zhang Guihua, Grandma Li, and Grandma Ji for dinner, and ate those dishes cleanly.

The things in the thatched cottage had already been moved in, and Li Ran's family moved into their new home that night.Although the new house is big, it is very empty. The rooms are very empty, and there is nothing in it.With such a busy schedule a few days ago, Li Ran didn't even think about breaking furniture at home.Fortunately, there is a carpenter in Jijia Village, which is very convenient.Li Ran and Ji Nan went to the carpenter and told him about the furniture they wanted to make at home.Now that there is a house, Xiao Yuan wants to sleep by himself, so he has to make a bed for Xiao Yuan, and the old hunter also needs to make a bed for him, and when the bed is ready, he will also be invited to live at home. Li Ran made an agreement with Ji Nan.Including stools, chairs, wardrobes, cabinet tables and other scattered things, it will take about half a month to complete.

August [-]th is the Moon Worship Festival. The Moon Worship Festival is a very important festival in Daqing. It worships a god called Worship the Moon.The elder brother worshiped the moon god, praying to the moon god to bless him to marry a good man, the young husband worshiped him to bless him to have a child as soon as possible, and the old husband hoped that he would bless his children and grandchildren to be healthy and happy.

The day before the Moon Worship Festival, Li Ran and Ji Nan drove an ox cart to Pingyang Town again. This time, they went to Pingyang Town to buy things for worshiping the Moon God tomorrow. Everything is ready, such as apricot jam, sun-dried apricots, fried watermelon seeds, etc., all have to be sold.Li Ran was only an acquaintance of Ji Xi in Pingyang Town, so Li Ran wanted to ask Ji Xi to see which shops in Pingyang Town would accept these things.Two baskets of apricot meat boiled more than 60 catties of jam. Li Ran took a small jar and filled two catties. In addition, two catties of pickled red bayberries were also packed.There were three baskets of dried apricots, but after drying, there was only one basket left. Li Ran wrapped a bag with paper for snacks bought at home, and wrapped a bag with more than [-] catties of watermelon seeds.

When they arrived in Pingyang Town, Li Ran and Ji Nan drove an ox cart and went straight to Huibin Restaurant to find Ji Xi.Parked the ox cart in front of the restaurant, and the two walked towards the restaurant, a waiter came up and asked, "Are you two going to be top-notch or staying at the restaurant?"

Li Ran said with a smile: "We don't live in the shop, but we are here to find your shopkeeper. Is he there?"

Xiaoer also smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is here, please wait here, I will call the shopkeeper for you." Xiaoer said and went to the second floor of the restaurant.Li Ran and Ji Nan were waiting in the lobby of the restaurant. Li Ran and Ji Nan came earlier, and it was not time for dinner yet. The restaurant was very clean.Li Ran looked around the restaurant. He had been here a few times before, but every time he came and went in a hurry, he didn't look carefully at all.This Huibin restaurant is well decorated, elegant and elegant, and antique. It is very artistic to eat in such a place.

Soon someone came down upstairs, and the one sitting in the front was actually Zhao Youting, followed by Ji Xi and the little girl just now.It turned out that today is the day of Huibin restaurant's audit.Ji Xi was still on the stairs, looking at Li Ran and Jin Nan below, and shouted happily: "Xiao Ran, Jin Nan, you are here."

Both Li Ran and Ji Nan greeted Ji Xi with a smile, and then Zhao Youting, who was right in front of Li Ran's guess, called out: "Boss Zhao." Zhao Youting didn't speak, but just nodded at Li Ran.

The group sat down on the empty seats, Ji Xi looked at Li Ran and said, "Xiao Ran hasn't been here for a long time, what's the matter this time?"

Li Ran was also not polite, and said to Ji Xi with a smile: "This time I came to see Uncle Ji Xi, I really need Uncle Ji Xi's help."

"Oh. What's the matter, tell me and let's see if I can help you." Ji Xi said.

Li Ran smiled and said, "That's right. Recently, Li has been thinking about some new things at home. I would like to ask Uncle Ji Xi if he knows where someone accepts them. If there is anyone he knows, please give me a lead."

"I've been in Pingyang Town for so many years, and I know some people. I'll help you find someone to look at what you figured out, and see if they accept it."

"I brought some things and put them on the ox cart, you wait for me to bring them to you to have a look." Li Ran said, and went to the ox cart with Ji Nan to get the things prepared in the morning.

A small jar of apricot jam, a small jar of pickled red bayberries, and two small packets of dried apricots and watermelon seeds wrapped in pastry paper. Li Ran put them on the table, opened them to Ji Xi and Zhao Youting, pointed to these things and said: " This jar is packed with apricot jam and pickled red bayberry, which is made from the sweet apricots I picked on the mountain. It tastes sour and sweet, and it’s very good.” He pointed to the dried apricots and watermelon seeds wrapped next to him and said: “ These are dried apricots and watermelon seeds. Back then, Uncle Ji Xi, you wondered why I didn’t sell those colorful melons. Those colorful melons have very little watermelon flesh, but there are many watermelon seeds in them. I made these watermelon seeds and fried them.”

After introducing his things, Li Ran smiled and said to Ji Xi: "Uncle Ji Xi, try it and see how it tastes. Is there any place that will take these."

The waiter next to him had sharp eyesight, and immediately went to fetch a spoon and handed it to Ji Xi.And Ji Xi was very shocked by what Li Ran figured out. The dried apricots and red bayberries are better. After all, they can be bought in the preserved fruit shop in the town, but this kind of apricot jam is unheard of, never seen before, and the watermelon Hey, it can be fried and eaten?Suppressing the doubts in his stomach, Ji Xi took a spoonful of apricot jam and ate it. The jam melted in his mouth, and the taste slowly dissipated in his mouth. Ji Xi's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Looking at Ji Xi's expression, Li Ran already had the answer in his heart, but he still asked with a smile, "How is it? Is it okay?"

Thinking about the taste in his mouth just now, Ji Xi ran through countless adjectives, but couldn't find an appropriate adjective. After much deliberation, only the most simple and simple word 'delicious' was left.Ji Xi nodded and said, "Okay, not bad." Then he tasted fried watermelon seeds and dried apricots, both of which were good. The watermelon seeds were salty and fragrant, and the meat inside tasted completely different from sunflower seeds.Even the dried apricots and red bayberries are better than the usual preserved fruit shops.Zhao Youting next to him also tasted it and nodded.

Ji Xi wiped her hands and said, "These things are very good. They are sold out, and some of them are collected by others. I just don't know how many you have?" Ji Xi said, looking at Zhao Youting, who was also very satisfied with these things. , Boss Zhao has quite a few shops in Pingyang Town under his name.

After listening to Ji Xi's words, Li Ran knew that it was almost enough, and said: "There are not many things, and the jam is only about fifty or sixty catties. I will keep some for home to eat, and I can buy about forty or fifty catties." , watermelon seeds are less than a hundred catties, and there is a basket of dried apricots, the exact weight is not clear, but there are quite a lot of pickled red bayberry."

Zhao Youting, who had been silent next to him, spoke at this moment, "I want all of your things, and the price is negotiable." Zhao Youting's expression was calm, and his tone was flat.

Li Ran was a little surprised when he heard this. He never knew about Zhao Youting's identity and background, and he didn't even think about asking Ji Xi about it. There will be a dim sum shop and so on.However, Li Ran was very happy that Zhao Youting could buy these snacks without bothering Uncle Ji Xi. After all, he and Zhao Youting were acquaintances and had made several orders.It doesn't matter whether his business is high or not.

Finally, after discussing with Zhao Youting, apricot jam is a fresh thing. I have never seen it before, at least not in Pingyang Town, so the price is relatively high. It sells for thirty yuan a catty, and sunflower seeds sell for ten yuan in the market. For a catty, the watermelon seeds sold for [-] Wen a catty, the pickled red bayberry sold for [-] Wen a catty, and the cheapest ones were dried apricots, which only sold for [-] Wen a catty.After signing the contract, Zhao Youting will send people to Jijia Village to transport things, and Li Ran feels more and more that he should have a |good relationship with this Boss Zhao. After this good relationship, he can still do business, which is useless Silver.

The most important thing was accomplished, Li Ran held Ji Nan's hand, and was about to leave happily, but Ji Xi stopped Li Ran and said, "Xiao Ran, the dishes I told you at that time , have you thought about it? Is there a new dish?"

Li Ran was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He has been busy these days and never thought about it. Li Ran scratched his head and said awkwardly: "Uncle Ji Xi, I am really sorry. I have been busy these days. I Forget about it."

Ji Xi smiled, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, but you have to remember it in the future." Li Ran nodded quickly and said, she will never forget it.Coming out of Huibin Restaurant, Li Ran and Ji Nan drove an ox cart to the market to buy things for the Moon Festival tomorrow.

The next day was the Moon Worship Festival, and it was the first time for Li Ran to celebrate the Moon Worship Festival here. Some details that need to be paid attention to were all asked from Grandma Li.Fortunately, there are no troublesome and trivial details on the Moon Worship Festival.The Moon Festival is spent at night.Make a table of delicious food in the evening, after eating, wait for the moon to rise high in the sky, put the bought things in the yard, Li Ran and Xiaoyuan bow three times to the moon high in the sky, praying for a smooth family well-being.

On the second day after the Moon Worship Festival, the government officials came to collect taxes. This is the summer harvest. In Daqing, taxes are collected twice a year. The first time is the summer harvest, and the second time is the harvest. For the harvest in late autumn, both dry land and paddy fields have to collect taxes, but dry land collects less tax than paddy fields, and inferior land collects less tax than superior land.Li Ran's family has five acres of paddy fields, all of which are good paddy fields, and nine acres of dry land, which are not very good, especially the five acres of Li Ran's dowry, which is still sandy.Li Ran originally wanted to use silver instead, but after thinking about it, it might be too high-profile, and there are only three people in the family, and there is too much food to eat, so he paid the food.
