Reborn 1980: Getting rich with rough men

Chapter 35 Mulberry Leaf Tofu
"We work together, and the money will definitely increase in the future." Bai Dashan said happily.

Li Chengcheng asked, "How much pocket money do you want?"

"I don't want it. You put a few dollars in change in the drawer so that it's easy to use when you need to buy things. You put away the rest. From now on, our family's money will be handed over to my wife." Bai Dashan said.

She also wanted to buy the wild fruits picked by Bai Shuli and Bai Shuyan, so Li Chengcheng counted ten yuan and put it in the drawer of the bedside cabinet, and she hid the rest in the closet together with the small wooden box, and covered it with clothes. up.

Afterwards, the two sat on the bed and talked, and Li Chengcheng studied Bai Dashan's slender and broad hands, "Bai Boss, you can ask the carpenter in the village to help me make five boxes for clothes, and the bamboo baskets with smaller holes will cost dozens One, let him do it slowly, I'm not in a hurry, and there are ten chicken cages, rabbit cages, and turtledove cages each. It needs to be bigger. One cage can hold at least ten. You are so good at catching turtledoves. , Remember to help me catch a few live ones, I want to raise them."

Since she has such a magical cave space, she has to make good use of it. In the future, she will put any valuable things in it, or put things that have no place at home, so as to prevent things from being stolen.

"Okay, I will keep in mind what my wife said." Bai Dashan wrapped his hands around Li Chengcheng's slender waist, lowered his head and blocked her mouth, wishing to give his life to her.

Men are indeed self-taught creatures. It has only been a few days, and he has become more and more proficient.

After that, Li Chengcheng and Bai Dashan's life became more stable. Li Chengcheng went to the mountains to pick wild fruits during the day, and Bai Dashan rode a bicycle to the town to sell wild fruits every morning. The two made money together.

Seeing the emerald green mulberry leaves on Cheng Xueyang's grave, Li Chengcheng suddenly had a new idea, so she said to Cheng Xueyang's grave, "Grandma, now I want to pick the mulberry leaves on your grave to make mulberry leaf tofu. If you disagree, just shake the leaves."

After Li Chengcheng finished speaking, he looked up at the tall mulberry tree on the grave. After waiting for a while, the leaves did not move at all. Li Chengcheng knew that grandma agreed, so she hurriedly climbed up the tree and began to pick the leaves quickly.

Li Chengcheng has never made mulberry leaf tofu. It was the first time she made it, and she didn't dare to pick too many leaves, so she picked a basket of leaves and went home. When she felt the blister on her palm, she gasped in pain.

Enduring the pain in her palm, she lifted the water up, poured it into a basin, and then soaked fresh mulberry leaves in the water. To make something to eat, she must do a good job of hygiene, whether it is herself or others , if something goes wrong, the responsibility is too great for her to bear.

The mulberry leaves were soaked in well water, so Li Chengcheng didn't worry about it. He turned around and went to feed the chickens, throwing wild vegetables into the chicken shed, and several chickens pecked at each other.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Li Chengcheng walked over to open the door.

I saw the wife of the grandfather who was stuck in the pit that day standing outside the door.

Li Chengcheng hurriedly asked, "Grandma, is grandpa back? How is grandpa?"

"The old man is back. Thank you so much. If you hadn't discovered our old man, our old man would probably be gone if someone else found out. Cheng Cheng, you are our family's great benefactor!" Grandma said kindly She smiled, but there was a trace of weirdness in the eyes that looked at Li Chengcheng, which made Li Chengcheng feel a little creepy.

"Grandma, you're serious." Li Chengcheng smirked.

Grandma went on to say, "We were still in the county when you got married, and I didn't come back to attend your wedding. I felt very sorry, so I made a pair of woolen shoes for each of you. The workmanship is rough. Don't dislike it!"

As she said that, grandma handed Li Chengcheng two pairs of woolen shoes, one pair of dark blue and one pair of wine red, which looked very thick and must be very warm in winter.

"Grandma, it's okay. Wool is so expensive, how can grandma make shoes for us?" Li Chengcheng hastily declined. Although she didn't know the price of wool in this era, she had seen it from the articles in those years. Why does the wool cost several yuan a catty? I don't know how much wool was used for these two pairs of woolen shoes. How can she accept it?

"Cheng Cheng, if you hadn't discovered our old man, then our old man would be gone. If he was gone, then I wouldn't be able to live anymore, so you saved two lives, and these two pairs of woolen shoes How can it be compared to two lives? I have nothing to repay you, only this little craftsmanship." Grandma said with red eyes, "Cheng Cheng, do you dislike grandma's craftsmanship?"

"No, no." Li Chengcheng waved his hands hastily, "Grandma's woolen shoes are very nice."

In the previous life, someone in their community made handmade woolen shoes, which cost 50 yuan a pair, and her mother bought them.

"Since you don't dislike grandma's craftsmanship, then accept it, so grandma can feel better in her heart."

Li Chengcheng had no choice but to reach out and take the woolen shoes. They are thick and better than those bought by her mother in the previous life. Li Chengcheng said embarrassedly, "Thank you grandma, I wish grandpa a speedy recovery."

"We thank you too." Grandma said lovingly.

After grandma went back, Li Chengcheng went back to the room and tried on the woolen shoes. The woolen shoes were a little too big, but it didn't matter. You must wear thick socks in winter, and the size will be just right.

After that, Li Chengcheng went to clean the mulberry leaves. She cleaned the mulberry leaves one by one, then chopped them with a knife, wrapped the chopped mulberry leaves with sackcloth, rubbed them, and filtered out the green mulberry leaf juice.

There are no tools, only by hand, so this step is very hard, but thinking of making money, Li Chengcheng doesn't think it's hard.

After the mulberry leaf juice was ready, Li Chengcheng went to the straw pile and pulled a handful of straw. After burning it to ashes, he filtered the clean plant ash water with the straw ash, and then added it to the mulberry leaf juice.

After all the steps were done, Li Chengcheng brought the mulberry leaf juice to the big table in the main room, and covered it with a bamboo cover to prevent dust from falling into it. have eaten.

If the taste is okay, you can take it out and sell it.

It is already mid-July, and it can be said that it has entered the hottest time of the year. The village is afraid of heatstroke and death, so work ends very early at noon, and work ends at eleven o'clock.

As soon as Bai Dashan came back, he saw a basin of green water on the table, and asked in confusion, "Daughter-in-law, what is that?"
