Chapter 118 The Magic of Reading and Literacy

After all, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and there are only reliable neighbors who can really help you with something.

As for the character of each neighbor is different, you don't necessarily deserve something in return if you send a gift, it's business.

Fools don't do things all the time, so Shi Shi didn't prepare too many expensive gifts.

It is mainly a big bag in the yard, which contains fruits and vegetables brought from my hometown.

There are also freshly made tofu and tofu curds that are placed in the main room.

Because the Li family didn't plan to inform their relatives and friends when they moved, they naturally wouldn't entertain guests, but Liu felt that since they already knew, they couldn't keep silent.

But the situation of my family is clear to my family, if I want to give something, I have to get it out first.

It was Mrs. Fang's idea to make more tofu and tofu for them. Anyway, the Li family also knew that they would make tofu for sale now.

It may not be so convenient to eat when you just moved to the county. If you make more, you can give some to your neighbors. It is always right to have a better relationship.

After all, it was the first meal when they just moved in today. Fang Qingqing wanted to eat something better, but her mother-in-law who always loved her refused to obey this time.

Anyway, I brought a lot of vegetables from my hometown. The advantage of this summer is that there are abundant vegetable gardens. I think that even if I want to go back in the future, I will have to wait at least a few days.

Simply this time, Shi asked the two daughters-in-law to pick all the vegetables from the vegetable garden, and even gave some to the neighbors.

There is still a lot left in the family now, and I have just moved and I don't have much money left, so I must save some money.

So Mrs. Shi made the decision. At noon, he ate braised eggplant, stir-fried beans with cucumber, and a Chinese cabbage.

"Mom, what about tonight, what do you have for dinner?"

"Stir-fried cucumber with green beans."

Stir-fried green beans with cucumber and fried green beans with green beans, is there a difference?

Looking at the many fruits and vegetables piled up in the yard, Fang Qingqing's eyes were gloomy, maybe her mother-in-law will cook with these vegetables these days?
"Mom, we moved to a new house today, so we should celebrate it?" Fang Qingqing smiled sweetly: "After moving to a new house, our life will be new and happy."

Shi Shi laughed at what she said, but immediately put on a straight face, "You coax me like this because you want to have a good meal."

"Mom, you can still earn money after you spend it. Tomorrow, I will set up a stall with my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law. Today, let's eat meat today, okay?"

Living in the county seat, the biggest convenience is to buy meat. You don’t have to get up early to go to the market and you can eat it anytime you want!
Unable to resist the soft-heartedness of the third daughter-in-law, Shi finally relented and handed Fang Qingqing a string of money.

Not much, only thirty cash in total, but you can buy a lot of good things.

So in the evening meal, the table was no longer full of vegetables, and the big hairy Ermao who was growing his body ate so much that his eyes were shining.

While eating, his mouth was still not free, and he kept sighing: "The meat is so delicious, so delicious."

"Nonsense, who doesn't know that meat is delicious, and if you want to eat meat, you need to earn more money. You two are not young anymore, and you will have to work more for your parents in the future."

Da Mao and Er Mao nodded together, no problem, as long as they eat meat every day and work all day long.

Then Shi said: "Since we have all moved to the county seat, the whole family should live a good life together. Make more money and try to open a shop for our family."

Of course she knew that it was not easy for her son and daughter-in-law to set up a stall to sell things, and it was hot in summer and cold in winter in the wind and rain.

Doing business is more profitable than farming, but it is also a lot of hard work.

Farming is also divided into busy and slack seasons. This business is simply busy every day of the year.

In the early morning of the next day, Mrs. Li's sister-in-law and Mrs. Li packed up her things and went out to set up a noodle stall, while Mrs. Shi and Mrs. Li were making steamed buns at home.

Now that it is much more convenient, Mrs. Shi thought about selling more, so as to earn back the money for buying the house.

The two daughters-in-law's noodle stalls also have stoves steaming buns, which can be sold there, and Li Erlang can also carry burdens and sell them along the street.

She made the buns at home here, so it would be much easier and faster to sell them there.

In addition, there are sugar water and marinated eggs, and I earned a hundred yuan more than before because of the time spent selling them.

Sure enough, everyone is very happy, this is just the beginning and there will definitely be more in the future.

She earns a lot, but it is also really hard work. The whole day, Mrs. Li spends the whole day around the stove with smoke, and Mrs. Li keeps asking the guests to clean up the dishes.

Li Erlang took Da Mao and Er Mao to sell in the streets and alleys, and his voice was hoarse.

But at night, when the family sat in the main room and reconciled accounts, their hearts were at ease.

Looking at the copper coins coming out, the tiredness of the day is gone.

Taking advantage of this gap, Fang Qingqing went to the pharmacy, which was also the only pharmacy in their county, Baoan Tang.

Some time ago, she, Li Xiaomei, and the younger Niuniu Sanmao were busy at the foot of the nearby mountain while the adults were busy with other things.

After picking some herbs, Fang Qingqing used the convenience of reading books and buying tutorials in the mall to learn how to prepare the herbs.

A few kinds of medicinal materials were successfully concocted, of course, because the adults repeatedly warned of the dangers in the deep mountains.

And the legs of the old man Fang from their Fang family are the best example, so they dare not run too far, only near the foot of the mountain.

There are not many herbs picked, and they are all common ones, so naturally they can be sold for a mediocre amount of money.

It must not be as valuable as ginseng. In fact, Fang Qingqing felt very regretful. If the ginseng in the space can find a chance to sell, then it can really make a fortune.

But Li Xiaomei and the others who had never seen the world were also very surprised.

Because of these medicinal materials, there are as few as 55 Wen a catty and as much as [-] Wen a catty.

Although they haven't gone out to buy and sell things with their second brother/father/second uncle, they are not ignorant.

For example, pork is only twelve renminbi a catty, rice is only six renminbi, and Mrs. Li's bowl of noodles in clear soup costs five renminbi a bowl.

Obviously, medicinal materials are much more valuable, and it seems that selling medicinal materials is more cost-effective than growing food at home?
They brought a bag and sold it for [-] Wen in total. It was the first time that the little guy saw so many copper coins and was very excited.

Although the family can make money now, and the elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law can earn hundreds of cash a day selling noodles, these medicinal materials are produced in their spare time.

Now how many of them can earn money?
You know, when the eldest brother and the second brother were in their teens, they just went to the fields with their parents to pick rice ears and couldn't earn much money.

Li Xiaomei told the third sister-in-law about her doubts, and Fang Qingqing told her with a smile:
"Food is the foundation of human survival, so we must first have land. We must first ensure the basics of survival, so we must farm.

Furthermore, not everyone knows medicinal materials and can process medicinal materials, so it is better to read and read. "
