Chapter 12 Coming to Town Again

Liu Qingcao didn't care what he said, pulled him up and went to the kitchen, Liu Jiangbei didn't speak anymore when he saw this, and followed obediently.

"Sit there and light a fire for my sister."

Liu Qingcao pointed to the chair at the stove hole, Liu Jiangbei glanced at it, and walked over.

Seeing that he no longer insisted on washing potatoes, Liu Qingcao turned around with a smile and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of white noodles in the basin.

For breakfast, Liu Qingcao planned to eat egg noodles.

Less than half a catty of flour was mixed with water, pulled and rolled, and finally formed.

The noodles were in boiling water, and they were cooked in a short time. Liu Qingcao quickly picked them up and put them into a bowl, and poured oil to fry two eggs.

The aroma of oil mixed with the aroma of eggs made Liu Jiangbei's mouth water.

Liu Qingcao was amused when she saw it, but also a little sad. This child, since she came here, has been swallowing saliva non-stop...

"Eat, Jiangbei, it's a little hot, so be careful." Liu Qingcao sprinkled some salt on the egg noodles and brought them to the table.

The oily, golden-yellow egg spread on the surface made Liu Qingcao couldn't help swallowing.

Everything in modern times seems to be getting farther and farther away from her, leaving only the perception of starving and freezing in this world.

The original owner is hungry, she is hungry...

A bowl of hot, fragrant egg noodles entered the stomach, and Liu Qingcao felt energetic again.

"Jiangbei, eat the eggs. From now on, my sister will cook an egg for you every day, so that you can eat enough." Liu Qingcao looked at the egg in Liujiangbei's bowl and ate it for a long time, but she only ate half of the egg, and said.

Liu Jiangbei looked up and smiled, took a sip of the soup, and replied: "Sister, I don't eat it every day, just try it once in a while. My sister is tired than me, so I can eat it every day."

"What a silly brother, don't worry, if you have it, my sister will definitely have it, eat quickly, and work after eating."

Liu Jiangbei was no longer reluctant, finished eating quickly, and smiled: "The eggs beaten by my sister are also delicious, really delicious!"

"Your mouth is so sweet, go and wipe your mouth, it's very greasy."

After hearing this, Liu Jiangbei happily ran away, Liu Qingcao was cleaning up the pots and pans in the kitchen, and when he came out, Liu Jiangbei had already washed a lot of potatoes.

Seeing Liu Jiangbei's speed, Liu Qingcao also quickly joined the ranks of washing potatoes. The speed of the two of them was still very fast. In less than an hour, 260 catties of potatoes were washed out on the ground.

There are still more than [-] catties of potatoes, and Liu Qingcao will not sell them and eat them himself. There are [-] catties of potatoes on the mountain, and about [-] catties of seeds will be left.

Looking at the cleaned potatoes, Liu Qingcao was so happy.

People say that when you are happy, time flies by very quickly.

No, I fumbled and made a lot of earth bricks at home, and prepared to dry them in the kiln.

Next to the firewood house, Liu Qingcao is going to build two more houses, one to feed some livestock, and the other to repair dry toilets. Of course, the wall and roof must be built first, and the others must be done slowly.

Liu Qingcao made 35 bolts of adobe bricks, and dried them piece by piece in the shade in the firewood shed. In this weather, it can be done in about two days.

For the fence, Liu Qingcao will go to the back mountain to cut some thick ones and come back to make a fence. She remembers that there are still a lot of thorn forests in the back mountain. In this way, the safety factor has been greatly improved.

After dinner, Liu Qingcao put the potatoes that needed to be sent to Huibailou into baskets, and Liu Qingcao piled up the remaining thirty catties of potatoes in the corner of the woodshed.

Before going to bed, Liu Qingcao was still thinking about what to buy tomorrow, and fell asleep after thinking about it for a while.

On the second day, before dawn, Liu Qingcao got dressed and got up.

After lighting the oil lamp, Liu Qingcao cooked two bowls of pimple soup in the kitchen, with two eggs nestled in it.

After hastily eating breakfast, Liu Qingcao left Liu Jiangbei at home, and went to town with Old Niu alone.

When he arrived in the town, Ge Hongshan was the one who received him. Liu Qingcao found that the flow of people in the shop was quite different this time from the last time.

The third and fourth floors were also opened, and Liu Qingcao also smelled a familiar smell.

Liu Qingcao: It seems that the new dishes are very successful.

Ge Hongshan took Liu Qingcao to the accounting room and began to settle the money for the goods.

"Green grass, are there any potatoes in the back? This new dish is very popular, and many gentry and local tyrants are scrambling to eat this bite. If it wasn't for the pressure, it would have been sold out yesterday..."

Ge Hongshan felt a little regretful, he thought, if there were more potatoes, it would be great!

"Gerber, these potatoes are the last ones I can get out, the rest of the potatoes have to be kept for seeds, if they are all sold, what will happen next year!?"

Liu Qingcao is also sorry, but there are only so many things, and it is difficult to sell more.

Seeing what Liu Qingcao said, Ge Hongshan knew there was nothing he could do. He could only hope that there would be more sales next year, and that the business in the building would prosper for a longer time.

"Miss Qingcao, this is the money for 260 catties of potatoes."

Lin Er knocked on the door and came in, and put five ten taels of silver bills and two taels of silver on the table.

Liu Qingcao thanked, put away the money, smiled and said to Ge Hongshan: "Uncle Ge, if there are new dishes in the future, I will come again, thank you for your care."

Ge Hongshan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he replied with a happy smile: "Welcome anytime and anywhere, Qingcao. In the future, I will look forward to your coming every day."

"Then I'll go first, and I wish Uncle Gerrard a prosperous business."

Liu Qingcao still had something to buy, and Ge Hongshan was also busy, so she didn't stay any longer, and left the restaurant after saying goodbye.

This time, she didn't go to buy baskets, she just picked the potato box to put her things in.

The first time I went to the vegetable market, I bought leeks, 96 eggs, cucumbers, peppers, green vegetables, and pumpkins, which cost [-] Wen.

The second time I went to the pork stall, there were still a lot left unsold because I went there early.

Liu Qingcao bought a pair of pork belly and a knife of pork belly for sixty renminbi.

At the grocery store, Liu Qingcao bought two better crock pots for [-] Wen and four spoons for [-] Wen.

In the cloth shop, Liu Qingcao picked and picked, and finally bought two bolts of the cheapest old coarse cloth for [-] Wen, two bolts of cotton cloth for [-] Wen, and some needles and thread for [-] Wen.

Liu Qingcao walked around the bookstore, but she was also confused. Finally, with the help of the waiter in the shop, she bought two very worn-out books, a Three-Character Classic and a Thousand-Character Classic.

Two taels of silver!

There's no way, it can't be that two people in one family are illiterate, so the literacy campaign started with her, and Liu Jiangbei also taught along the way, and when the income is stable, he will be sent to school to study.

In the pharmacy, Liu Qingcao bought some heat-clearing and detoxifying herbs, some spices, as well as gypsum and saltpeter. These things cost her seven taels of silver in total.

Liu Qingcao was ruthless, and finally paid the money.

At the grain shop, Liu Qingcao bought a lot, and since he won't be going out on the street for a long time, he just bought it all at once.

Two catties of salt is 120 Wen, white flour is 320 catties of [-] Wen, medium rice is [-] catties of [-] Wen, oil is five catties of [-] Wen, pepper and pepper are half a catty of [-] Wen, mung beans are [-] catties of [-] Wen, wheat is [-] catties of [-] Wen arts.

In the end, I bought a pack of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for [-] Wen and a candied haws for [-] Wen, and it was over.

This time I spent 12 taels and [-] cash in total.

Including the money in the house, she now has a total of 51 Wen.

With so much money, it can catch up with the savings of many people in the village. The grandson of the village head's family is studying in a private school in the town. Naturally, he has a deep foundation and has at least 100 taels of silver.

After buying the things, Liu Qingcao swayed to the entrance of the town carrying the load, and put the things into the bullock cart in piles. On the surface, they were all worthless things, and the valuable things were pressed down.

After Liu Qingcao sat down, the old man Niu flicked his whip and began to rush back.

When I came in the morning, I had booked a chartered car and paid for it. It was a total of forty cash. Although it was expensive, Liu Qingcao felt that it was worth the money.
