Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 24 Human Heart
"But……"

"Also." Liu Qiao continued, "Although my mother didn't object, she didn't express her approval either. If you and I cooperate in this business, she will feel more at ease! Xiaoyan, you can help me !"

Lin Xiaoyan was taken aback by what she said, "You...you seem to be right, but I still feel that I have taken advantage of you!"

"Do I usually take advantage of you less?" Liu Qiao smiled.

Lin Xiaoyan smiled, whether she didn't smile or not, "Aqiao...I..."

"Xiaoyan, just help me!" Liu Qiao took her hand, "The house is full of gold and jade. I'm afraid we will have to go to the market to sell them. I really can't do it alone!"

Lin Xiaoyan struggled for a while, "I'll help you! But, it can't be shared equally! Aqiao, even if I'm a friend, I can't take too much advantage of you! My mother has always taught me to be a man with a conscience! If I do this It would be too heartless if you just split half of it with you!"

"Then we have six or four points?"

"No! It's still too much! I'll just take one!"

"No, then others will say that I'm mean! Qisan, we're divided, if you still don't agree, then I won't do it!" Liu Qiao said, "If you have a conscience, I can't be too heartless!"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her resolute expression, "Aqiao... okay." At worst, she just needs to do more work in the future!

"Also, we will buy the soybeans we need from you!" Liu Qiao continued, "You must accept the money!"

Lin Xiaoyan had nothing to do with her, "Okay, take it, but my father didn't grow many soybeans this year, so I don't know if it's enough."

"It's not enough for us to buy from other people in the village." Liu Qiao said seriously, "It's just that I'm afraid I will trouble Uncle Agui with this matter."

"Don't worry!" Lin Xiaoyan patted her chest, "It's no problem!"

Liu Qiao smiled comfortably, and pointed to the money on the table, "This money is considered our capital, and it will be placed with you first, and you can figure out if it is enough to buy your soybeans at home. If it is not enough, wait for the next batch After the bean sprouts come out, I will count them for you, if there are too many, put them away first, don't buy them from other people for now, and buy them when they are almost used up."

Lin Xiaoyan didn't push, nodded, and put the copper coins back into the purse, "Okay."

"Also, let's keep this matter a secret first. Don't tell anyone except your father, and the method of bean sprouts should also be kept a secret!" Liu Qiao's expression gradually turned cold, "If anyone asks, just say that you have a secret recipe. It may make others think that making these bean sprouts is difficult!"

Lin Xiaoyan was a little stunned when she heard her tone, but she also understood what she meant, "Don't worry, I understand!"

"Then let's work together to make a lot of money?" Liu Qiao stood up and held out his hand.

Lin Xiaoyan was stunned.

"Shake hands." Liu Qiao smiled, "My father said that this is what happens when adults cooperate successfully."

Lin Xiaoyan chuckled, "Okay, shake hands!"

After dealing with this matter, the last layer of haze in Liuqiao's heart dissipated. Within two days, Lin Xiaoyan sorted out the soybeans in her inventory. According to the market price, there were more than 200 copper coins left by Liuqiao. Wen, enough to pay for this batch of soybeans, and the rest of the money was used to buy some sieves.

Besides, after discussing with Lin Gui, Lin Xiaoyan cleared out the east wing and used it as a workshop. Liuqiao has no objection, and it will be winter in a few days, so the outdoors will definitely not work.

After the trivial matters were arranged, the two began to pick soybeans and prepare to make the next batch of bean sprouts. At the same time, Liu Qiao also began to process the duck eggs he bought.

After buying this batch of duck eggs, she plans to use them to make preserved eggs.

Preserved eggs, also known as preserved eggs, were also called "chaoszi" and "cowhide ducks" in ancient times. Regarding the production of preserved eggs, it was recorded in "Shi Xian Hong Mi" in the Qing Dynasty, "One hundred eggs, use twelve taels of salt. First use concentrated Sprinkle salt on the tea to make a marinade, mix half of the charcoal ash, half of the buckwheat straw ash, and half of the cypress ash to make a mud. Paste on each egg. It can be used in January. It is best to make it on Qingming."

Salt and ashes are easy to get, but the problem lies in strong tea. Farmers generally drink plain water, and tea and the like are basically for entertaining distinguished guests. Many families don’t have it, but Yi’s does. However, it’s Yi’s It is specially made for the cloud, and it is used to refresh oneself while reading. Although in addition to the above-mentioned production method, lime can be used instead of strong tea, but she found that it is more difficult to find lime here than to find tea. After thinking about it, she can only Xiang Yi Zhiyun opened his mouth.

"Borrow tea?" Yi Zhiyun asked with narrowed eyes.

Liu Qiao looked sincere, "Well, I will pay you back."

Then, the young master's face darkened, "It's gone!" Then, he closed the door with a bang, almost missing her nose.

Liu Qiao gritted his teeth and suppressed the anger that surged up in his heart, "If you don't borrow it, you won't borrow it, I don't believe that you can't do anything without you!" She flicked her sleeves and left.

Since the two had a quarrel that day, each of them felt displeased with each other in the past two days, and there was no further quarrel, but the atmosphere of the cold war was strong.

Unable to find all the materials, Liu Qiao had no choice but to shelve the plan first, thinking about going to tea by herself after selling the second batch of bean sprouts in a few days, but at this moment, Lin Xiaoyan brought her a bad but unexpected news among them.

"Aqiao, I just heard something from my father..." Lin Xiaoyan's face was not very good, "Brother Awang and sister-in-law Awang have been buying soybeans from other people in the village for three Wen a catty. The price was three times higher..." Lin Xiaoyan muttered, although she was not very smart, she still thought of something after hearing this.

What does Brother Ngawang do to collect bean sprouts?
Liu Qiao looked calm, "Really?"

"Aqiao?" Lin Xiaoyan was surprised, "You...don't think it's strange?"

"Brother Awang, since he wants to buy it, he must use it." Liu Qiao said lightly, "What's so strange?"

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her, "Aqiao, didn't you..." She didn't continue, looking at the peaceful Liuqiao in front of her, she felt a little uncomfortable, "Aqiao, don't be sad."

Last time, the matter of the mansion full of gold and jade, is it also...

"It's okay." Liu Qiao smiled. Some things can be borne by her alone. She really doesn't want Xiaoyan to be contaminated with these things. It’s not necessarily a tofu business!”

Lin Xiaoyan was taken aback.

"Anyway, the only ones who know the secret recipe of bean sprouts are the two of us. If we don't tell them, even if they really have any intentions, it will be in vain!" Liu Qiao laughed.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at her, "Maybe I misunderstood...Brother Awang is a very good person, he probably wouldn't do these things."

Liu Qiao just smiled and said nothing.

It's a pity that something happened not long after that shattered the last sincerity in Lin Xiaoyan's heart. Sister-in-law Ngawang found an excuse to come to Lin Xiaoyan's door and asked about the secret recipe of bean sprouts on the sidelines.
