Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 34
In the car, Zheng's eyes rolled around and stared at the things in the car, and he yelled loudly at the high pitch for heaven and earth.

Mrs. Zhang secretly gave her a hand, looked at Li Kongzhu and asked with a smile, "This morning, I watched the children in the village eating those gourds from a distance. I don't want it to be so prosperous."

Those who are prosperous can buy a carload of things with such a little thing, which shows that they have made a lot of money.

Thinking about what she coaxed Mrs. Zheng to sell eggs for her in the morning, and she followed to see what happened.Zhang's eyes flashed, watching Li Kongzhu's smile became more and more friendly.

"The red fruit from the mountains?" Mrs. Zheng's eyes widened in surprise, then she turned her eyes and stared at Li Kongzhu and asked, "Old Sanjia, how much money did you sell, and how much did you charge for this car?" ?”

Li Kongzhu endured his displeasure.Just as she was about to speak, she heard Zhang from the side say again: "Look at it, it's a vat and a basin. They're all big things, I'm afraid they will be one or two halves!"

"One, two, half, two? Suck!" Zheng Shi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

With a move of his big butt, he approached Li Kongzhu and pulled her sleeves and asked loudly: "You spent a tael of silver on these things, how much money do you have to make! Ah! How did you make that thing, it can really make so much money ? Do you have any left, bring it to me!"

Li Kongzhu was agitated, he pulled her hand off without a trace, and gave Zhang Shi a farewell look.With a half-smile, he said: "It's sold out, how can there be any left?"

"Since it's so easy to sell, why don't you take advantage of the momentum and do more. If you earn more money then, you and your wife will save more."

"Yes, yes, yes! More should be done." Mrs. Zheng was immediately enlightened by Mrs. Zhang's mention. "In the future, if you are too busy, go up the mountain to pick fruit or something, and say hello to us. At that time, your eldest brother, your second sister-in-law's family, and I will all go to help you."

Li Kongzhu lowered his eyes, and the corners of his eyes glanced at someone who had nothing to do with him.He looked up at him pretending to be 'anxious' and asked, "Master, is it okay?"

"There's nothing wrong with this, we're all a family. We won't be jealous or snatch money after we earn it, so what are you afraid of!" Zheng Shi said, but couldn't hold back the itchy hands to lift the cover bathtub.

Seeing some sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes and rice grains inside, he couldn't help but look hot and said: "At home..."

"Sister-in-law, I'm going to make white noodles for lunch." Mrs. Zhang winked at her.Then he turned his face and looked at Li Kongzhu with a smile and said: "At that time, you two should come over too. Your second brother always talks about it, because you are afraid of eating delicious food, and you haven't tasted it!"

hehe!Are you talking about art, are you saying that she eats alone?

This Mr. Zhang!

Li Kongzhu raised his eyes and looked at her with a somewhat ambiguous smile.In the blink of an eye, a trace of anger flashed by, and he looked at Zhao Junyi and called out, "Head, what do you say!"

Zhao Junyi ignored the fire in her eyes, and just stared straight ahead indifferently.When Li Kongzhu couldn't help it, he said: "You can pick the fruit as you like, but the recipe was sold to the pastry shop!"

"Fang Zi is sold!" Mrs. Zhang frowned and whispered.Zheng exclaimed loudly!
"Yes, it's sold, it's sold to a pastry shop that borrowed the land!"

"Why did you sell it? How much would you have to sell it for? Can you lose money?"

Zheng's urgent call made Li Kongzhu laugh inexplicably, looked at her and said a little rudely: "Sister-in-law, this is confidential, we can't say it."

"What can't be said, I can't ask."

"No!"

Her sudden cold face.Let Zheng's face turn red, he stared at her dissatisfied, and just wanted to reprimand her.

No, an indifferent voice came: "It seems that sister-in-law is in good spirits, how about walking home?!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng immediately turned the direction of her attack like a swindler.

"Third, what do you mean, are you talking in human language?! I just ask something, what do you mean by the numbness of your husband and wife? Don't forget whose family you have eaten and lived in all these years. Whose house is it? Ask me what’s the matter, if I don’t want to look at the family, I’m asking you?! Even if you die, I don’t need to say anything outside.”

"Sister-in-law!" Seeing that she had said too much, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stopped her.

Looking up, seeing that Zhao Junyi was still not salty, he said with a smile in front of the peacemaker: "Don't take it to heart, third child, she is such a sharp mouth! Over the years, you..."

"Sister-in-law didn't say anything wrong. For so many years, I know which family's food I eat and whose family's food I eat, and my dead parents also know it well!"

Mrs. Zhang stopped, her face was a little ugly.

Mrs. Zheng shouted, stiffened her neck and wanted to curse again, but was secretly held back by Mrs. Zhang, who had the foresight.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

Li Kongzhu saw Zheng's dissatisfied face being dragged, he turned his eyes outward, and didn't bother to look any further.

Mrs. Zhang pulled Mrs. Zheng to keep her from making trouble, and wanted to find out more.

But when he saw the couple, one of them turned his head to pretend to look at the scenery, and the other stared at the front indifferently, as if they didn't intend to talk to each other at all, they couldn't help but stare deeply.

The bullock cart entered the village in silence.

The children playing in the village and the villagers chatting and chatting under the willow tree at the entrance of the village saw their carts entering the village.They all involuntarily greeted them, and followed the ox cart.

Some villagers asked each other, "Zhao Jiasanlang, where did you get rich? Can you introduce me to my eldest brother!"

"Hey, look at this cart, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money! By the way, what kind of fruit strings you are fighting against this morning, could it be that they are sold for money?"

A woman rolled her eyes, thinking about the scene of children scrambling for fruit in the morning, and soon thought of something, and couldn't help asking loudly.

Li Diaozhu secretly breathed out a dirty breath.But with a smile on his face, he said: "It can be sold for two dollars, but it's not the money from selling the fruit, but the money from selling the recipe."

"Fangzi? What kind of prescription!"

Li Kongzhu just pursed his lips and smiled, but didn't answer.

When everyone saw this, anyone with a keen mind wanted to go and see it.

Therefore, when the ox cart drove slowly all the way to Zhao's house, there were many "enthusiastic" villagers who came to help behind.

Li Kongzhu didn't refuse, let them help unload the cart, thanked them one by one, took out the few benches at home and let them sit in the courtyard.

There was no tea, so she came out holding the small stove and boiled water for them on the spot.

A sharp-eyed villager watched her soak the red flakes in the boiling water, and approached curiously.

Seeing that it was Shanlihong, he wondered: "This thing can also be used to make tea!"

"Yes!" After Li Diaozhu threw the hawthorn slices into the pot, he took out the few rough porcelain bowls at home and filled them with water, and asked them to take turns drinking and tasting.

He smiled unintentionally and said: "It's still a problem that I'm used to when I'm a modern person. I don't have the conditions to drink tea. I just thought about the taste of this mountain red, so I picked some and dried it. It's not bad to drink. .How did you guys taste it?"

"It smells sour. It's not bad!"

Everyone nodded face to face.There are those who do not reject, and those who dislike.However, most of them still have some disdain for her habit of drinking tea.

"That's what! Mr. Zhao's family, these things are not cheap. Can the fruit really sell for so much money?"

After a while, someone couldn't hold back and asked each other.

Li Kongzhu pursed his lips and said with a smile: "How much can the fruit be sold for? It's just a bit of oil and salt."

Seeing that the man was about to speak again, she answered the man's doubts without stopping: "When I was a servant, I learned a couple of pastry-making skills and created a hawthorn cake. Let a shopkeeper who is in the pastry business take a fancy to it." , I bought a prescription. I didn’t give much, and I used it all for shopping!”

After finishing speaking, he glanced in the direction of the warehouse with some distress, so he murmured anxiously: "I thought there was something left. But there was nothing left. The pastry shopkeeper only allowed me to sell it for one winter. Next year, I don't know what to rely on." What a job!"

After hearing what she said, everyone knew that it was a secret.Even if she makes money, she is the only one who can sell it.

But fortunately, it won't last long, and it probably won't sell for much money after all.While some people were guessing, they also looked at the three thatched huts with big gaps at the same time, feeling a lot more balanced in their hearts somehow.

The villagers who understood, chattered a few more words, and took their leave one after another to go back.

Li Diaozhu sent the villagers away, glanced aside and followed them all the way, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zheng, who hadn't left yet, "I remember the second sister-in-law said to make white noodles for lunch?"

"It's just right, I bought some noodles at home, I'll add more bowls in a while, and the second sister-in-law will help roll out more bowls!"

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile and said yes, Mrs. Zheng was still unwilling to ask anything more, but was pulled by Mrs. Zhang and gave a few winks in secret before she calmed down.

After the two left, Li Kongzhu went to the warehouse to rectify for a while.

When he came out, he took another bowl of flour in his hand.He saw Zhao Junyi sitting in the yard chopping wood with a newly bought machete.

Thinking of his poor legs and walking so much, he finally said a little bit unbearably: "Leader, let's take a rest. There is no rush for the stick, and there will be time to cut it after it is struck!"

"The wood is almost gathered. I'll make a fence to block the door!"

After Li Kongzhu listened, he remembered what he was asked to do the door a few days ago.Looking at the gap in the uneven wall, she didn't say anything more, and went to the next door...
