Chapter 36

"What Uncle Lizheng said is true, but I have thought about it a long time ago and discussed it with Mandun." Lin Baozhu said with a smile, "Mandun has some friendship with the shopkeeper of the tavern in the town. I don't care about it. Seeing that the people in our village helped a lot earlier, did you think of a way to help find a good way?"

Hearing what she said, Zhang Lizheng couldn't help but glanced at her approvingly, and after a little thought, he extinguished the fire in the cigarette pot.

"You guys are interested. Since this is the case, I will ask the men from all families to go to the wheat field to inform me. It's just that you have to set a price, and it will save me from making people laugh when I can't explain it clearly." Zhang Lizheng After collecting the cigarette pouches, I also calculated in my heart that if this can really happen, life in the village will be better.It might even attract the envy of people from other villages. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that it would be good for Taoshuwan to produce a well-connected young man like Zhang Mantun.

"I collect the bracken according to its weight. If you bring the whole bracken, it costs three cents per catty, and if it's just bracken, it's two pennies per catty." This is the price that Lin Baozhu had already figured out. The portion of the dish is heavy, and with the addition of starch, the flour is only half and half. If it is more than three pennies, I am afraid that the cost will be too high.In addition, the bracken is light, and the big guys will try their best to find the fern roots to dig.

Besides, she only talked about buying bracken, but didn't mention bracken root powder to save trouble.Therefore, when purchasing, it is natural to pay the price of bracken.

In fact, she is also very clear in her heart that this business is now in her hands, but because it is new and rare.After waiting for a long time, those thoughtful people will definitely figure out what's inside. She never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients.She even believes that as long as the fern root powder is on sale, plus she purchases the fern root, if she happens to be seen making fern root starch, outsiders will probably figure out a way to make it after a while.

So Lin Baozhu didn't think about making a real fortune from this snack, what she wanted was to make money first before everyone researched it.

Anyway, in any case, this matter is considered to be answered, and I will help Zhang Luo later.

Before leaving, Lin Baozhu smiled and handed the basket to Lizheng's wife, "Auntie, don't despise rough things, it's right to use them as snacks for the children."

Originally, Li Zheng's wife was afraid that Lin Baozhu would come begging for something again, so naturally she felt a little alienated and looked down upon her.Now after listening to it, he actually wanted to harvest wild vegetables and sell them in taverns.Not to mention anything else, just say that if this matter becomes a problem, how can the villagers remember her favor.

Now look at her smilingly opening the basket, there are really delicious food inside.Don't say it's a snack for the children, even their family doesn't necessarily eat such a bowl of lard shuttle for many days.This gift is not light.

The so-called short hands for grabbing people and soft mouth for eating people, no matter how arrogant Li Zheng's wife is with airs, it will make everyone turn their faces.

"Hey, you said that you are all from the village. If you have anything to do in the future, just call your aunt, don't be shy." Lizheng's wife said with a smile on her face, but she looked at the basket several times. I think about how much I think about it.Holding the things, she said with a smile, "Wait a minute, I'll break the bowl, so you don't have to go back and make another trip."

Zhang Lizheng looked at his mother-in-law's happy appearance, and couldn't help frowning. He was really a long-haired and short-sighted person, and he wanted to pick something at home when he saw something.But after all, it was his own mother-in-law, even if she was not good, she had taken care of his children for half her life, and it was not easy for him to scold her in front of outsiders.

"Okay, I'll go and say hello to the old patriarch first." Li Zheng knocked on his cigarette bag and pot, glanced sideways at his mother-in-law with a bad face, and said, "Isn't there some dried beans at home, I'll get them for my daughter-in-law soon Order, let her go back and add some food."

Speaking of dried beans, they were steamed and dried in the autumn last year, so that they can be eaten in winter and spring when there is a shortage of vegetables and food at home.Compared to pickled vegetables, it was really a good thing.

Hearing from the head of the family, Lizheng's wife is also unambiguous, and the food sent by Lin Baozhu from the left and right is enough to exchange for a basket of dried beans.So how could she be reluctant, even when she sent Lin Baozhu and Aunt Tian away, she personally sent them out the door.

When Lin Baozhu was far away, she clicked her tongue and sighed that she never thought that Zhang Mandun, with his vicious appearance, could marry such a good wife.It's one thing to look good, at least it's someone who knows how to behave.

Lin Baozhu didn't know how Lizheng's daughter-in-law remembered her later, but people came to sell bracken one after another before dinner that day.As Lin Baozhu expected, although she said she would also collect bracken, most of the big ones were dug with roots.

Of course, those farmers who are sincere from the bottom of their hearts are not satisfied with getting cheap and want to be good. They even shake off the mud and sand on the roots before sending them.

There is still some money left at home, just enough to pay for the purchase of bracken, so everyone is happy.It's just that when Lin Baozhu stayed up late at night to deal with the fern roots, there was a problem. She had a lot of things, but she was only one person. If she didn't dare to stop working all night long, she could only produce a small pot of fern roots that had been peeled off. .

After thinking about it, she found Aunt Tian and Aunt Ma the next day, and asked them to help find a few women who are diligent and don't like to cause trouble.Of course, the wages are paid every day, calculated according to their working conditions, one penny per catty of fern roots.

Aunt Tian had already seen that she had an idea, and she was worried that outsiders would steal her way of making snacks, so she simply asked two familiar daughters-in-law to help, and she and Aunt Ma were enough.

The following days just lived smoothly, every day Zhang's thatched cottage was full of people coming and going, even Wang's daughter-in-law, who had been running on Lin Baozhu before, came to sell bracken a few times.

But although Lin Baozhu didn't hold grudges against her, he didn't give her a good face either.Left and right are just irrelevant people, after all, I also gave her shame at that time.

This time, she hired a follower to make fern root powder, but she also kept her mind on the most important method of adding water and making a paste with fern root.It also prevents others from stealing.

In fact, it’s not that no one has learned it during the period, but when the powder leaks, it either becomes lumpy or uneven in thickness and cannot be mixed and eaten.Even if it is made occasionally, it is very easy to break just by drying it, let alone imitating Lin Baozhu to bundle it with thatch and sell it.

Then other restaurants in the town also inquired about Zhang's in Taoshuwan because several customers did not order spicy noodles, and even promised a lot of money to buy.It's a pity that Lin Baozhu and the shopkeeper Qin had a good word first, and her production is really not high, so she didn't accept any one.

On the contrary, Mrs. Liu saw Zhang Mandun's thatched yard getting lively, and asked old man Zhang to inquire about it.I heard that there is money to be made there and there is meat and food every day, but I want to be a demon with my energy.

It's not that she gave up on Widow Du's gold bracelet, but now that Widow Du has been forced into a shambles by them, and she's even bewildered, no matter who she wants, she can make her follow her. people desperately.No, just let Zhang Erbao send her back to her mother's house today, and I guess it's time to go to Yang's house now.

Hmph, for a widow who doesn't have a fart, she still wants her family to support her for nothing. It's really a beautiful idea.She made an agreement with Zhang Erbao that if the Yang family didn't pay a large price for the dowry, they would be divorced tomorrow with a letter of divorce.

At this time, Mrs. Liu didn't know that the Yang family was pressing Zhang Erbao, who was almost disabled, to find Shilipu.And what she didn't know was that Zhang Erbao's third leg was also broken because of the anger of the Yang brothers.
"Old man, isn't it because of our family's life that I plan this way? Erbao will be a very promising person in the future, so maybe he will spend some money. If Xiumei wants to get married again, she will have to buy a dowry. And the family's firewood, rice, oil and salt How could it be the strong wind that fell from the sky? If you don’t try to make money, you will really have no way to live this day.” These days, Mrs. Liu was also scared of being beaten by old man Zhang, and now even Sapo dare not swear like before hands-on.Seeing that old man Zhang is not willing to ask for money now, he naturally started crying.

Old man Zhang hunched over, watching his mother-in-law cry, make trouble and hang herself three times, and his temples throbbed out of patience. Hearing her cry miserably now, isn't it even more disturbing?

How could he not know that he was making money there, and his life was much better than theirs, but when he thought of Zhang Mantun's horrifying face full of blood and disapproval, and Lin Baozhu's mouth with a knife in every sentence, he I just feel creepy, how can I have the intention to blackmail money?

Don't look at him as an old man, but now that he has signed the divorce letter, if he is to face the strong and fierce Zhang Mandun, he will not dare to take any airs.Don't talk about provoking him anymore, just thinking about that bloodthirsty look in his eyes, he couldn't help but tremble.

"Okay, it's not embarrassing enough. Don't forget that we have been expelled from the family, and we may be kicked out of Taoshuwan someday. Let's see where you go to mourn."

Liu, who was crying miserably, really didn't expect old man Zhang to scold her head and face when she opened her mouth. She has always been aggressive and refused to suffer alone.Today, I suppressed my temper and cried and complained, not just to provoke.She didn't want old man Zhang to really face that side, but it would be good to ask for some money.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but muttered: "You despise me, and you don't blame me for expelling the clan. If you didn't hit that little bastard's hoof, how could you cause so many troubles?" The more I felt wronged, the more I patted the edge of the kang and started crying.

Old man Zhang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he saw the woman started messing around with snot and tears.
