Chapter 22

After dinner, the old man drove back with his full cow. Liu Qingcao sat in the yard looking at the stars, eating and feeling the cool night breeze.

"Let's go to the stewed meat, and go to bed early after finishing it." Liu Qingcao got up, patted her uncomfortable buttocks, and went to the kitchen.

After a long meal, she took out the stewed meat and vegetables, put them in a basin and put them in the woodshed, and washed up.

Waking up in the morning, Liu Qingcao rolled up her sleeves and made three bowls of poached eggs with fermented glutinous glutinous rice. At about the same time, the old man Niu came driving an ox cart.

This is the second delivery, Liu Qingcao had to check yesterday's sales, so after breakfast, Liu Qingcao went to town with Old Niu.

The town was full of people coming and going, shouting and shouting one after another, very lively.

Huibailou.

As soon as Liu Qingcao entered the door, Lin Er looked happy, and quickly took Liu Qingcao's pannier. Looking at his appearance, she still didn't understand, it seems that this thing is very marketable.

The basket was taken to the kitchen to unload, and Ge Hongshan led her to the accountant happily. He looked like a child who had eaten honey, ecstatic with joy.

"Qingcao, as soon as the stewed vegetables came out yesterday, most of them were ordered, and the rest were sold out in a short while. Unexpectedly, this business is better than I expected." Ge Hongshan paused, and then said: "Qingcao , bring some more tomorrow, many people haven’t eaten, so rush to get it!”

"Uncle Gerrard, I brought some more today. I can't take any more. At the beginning, it was a rarity. If people eat enough, it won't be easy to sell. They hang on like this, but they still miss it." Yes, um, there are only so many ingredients for this stewed meat in a day, I want to bring more, but it won't work.

Otherwise, I will make some other meat stew, but the cost will be much higher, stewed eggs are also fine, I will get some tomorrow, how about it, Uncle Gerrard? "

After listening to Liu Qingcao's words, Ge Hongshan felt that it made sense, and immediately nodded in agreement with her.

Things that can be eaten every day are not delicious. If you eat it once, you will always be remembered. Although you can't measure it, it has always been a sign.

"Qingcao, if you have any thoughts in the future, you must tell Uncle Ger. Uncle Ger thinks you are a kid with business acumen. If my son is as old as you, I can't take advantage of other boys." Ge Hongshan laughed loudly. Laughing, the more he looks at Liu Qingcao, the more he likes it, the more he looks at it, the more it's a pity, it's a pity that there is no boy of marriageable age in the family, otherwise...

"Uncle Ge, that's ridiculous, what can I know as a little girl, these principles were taught to me by my father." Liu Qingcao said, dragging the original owner's dead parents.

Hearing this, Ge Hongshan sighed immediately. He sent someone to inquire about Liu Qingcao and learned most about Liu Qingcao's situation. The more he knew, the more he felt sorry for her and admired her tenacity as a girl.

Liu Qingcao didn't stay longer in Huibailou, she still had to go get the pigs and other things that she had ordered yesterday.

Huibailou's business is very good. It should be said that it is getting better every day. When Liu Qingcao came, the tables were already full. Now when I went out to look, there was still a long queue outside the door.

Seeing that the door was crowded, Liu Qingcao turned around to find Lin Er, and led her through the back door.

After leaving Huibailou, Liu Qingcao looked at the crowd and smiled. The better Huibailou's business is, the more it earns, and when the dividends come, she can get a large amount of silver.

One stroke at a time, her little life will get better and better...

Liu Qingcao was happy thinking about it, and felt that the pain of staying up late and getting up early during this time was no longer so uncomfortable.

At the pork stand, Liu Qingcao made an agreement with the butcher to save the pigs every day for her, and bought a few catties of meat and ribs, and took them back to carry on her back.

Passing by the bookstore, Liu Qingcao bought a knife of paper, a brush and an ink stick.

Liu Qingcao didn't come to the town many times, but she knew exactly where and what was sold, and the food she wanted was not sold, which made her very disappointed when she first came here.

Carrying a basket of things on his back, he went to the entrance of the town. Niu Laotou’s ox cart has never seen him carry anyone else except her during this time. Even the people in other villages don’t see him in his car now. Did not ask why.

When she got home, Liu Qingcao took a bath and cooked as usual, and after eating, she chopped firewood to burn the kiln and looked at the ground.

Time passed day by day like this, the two kilns started firing at the same time, the speed increased a lot, and in another seven or eight days, all the required bricks and tiles would be fired.

The seeds in the ground also grew into big seedlings, and the seed survival rate reached as high as 80.00%.

Liu Qingcao is not busy with other things these days, she is going to start transplanting these seedlings.

After getting up and having breakfast in the morning, Liu Qingcao began to dig soil and pits in the wasteland, marking out a row of land for each species, and after the required land was dug, Liu Qingcao began to transplant.

When all the seedlings were transplanted into the ground, it was already three days later.

On this day, Liu Qingcao hesitated as she looked at the two square meters of glutinous rice seedlings.

If she planted it this season, don't wait for the glutinous rice to be pulped. When the temperature suddenly drops, the rice she worked so hard to plant will be wasted.

"Try it, the seedlings have already emerged. The harvest time of late rice in my era is not much different from hers."

Liu Qingcao went to the river to fetch water, and poured buckets of water into the seedling field. The paddy field was filled again, and the rice seedlings could be planted tomorrow.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Qingcao carried the seedlings to the paddy field one by one. The old man Niu didn't know what he was going to do, so he stood aside and watched for a while.

"The grains have already been harvested. If I plant them now, I'm afraid they won't be harvested." The old man Niu frowned, disapproving of Liu Qingcao's approach.

Liu Qingcao raised her head, wiped the sweat off her face with her elbow, and said with a smile, "Uncle Niu, I just want to try, if it doesn't work, I won't plant it in the future."

"En." The old man Niu looked at the sun above his head, turned around and went back to chop firewood.

Liu Qingcao gained a lot of confidence by watching the seedlings that had been raised a lot in a few days.

At this speed, the fertilizer is sufficient, and it should be able to catch up with the slurry before the temperature drops.

Two catties of glutinous rice planted in one mu of land took her about a day to grow. The spacing is large, photosynthesis is sufficient, and the growth is fast. This is the intensive farming of the 21st century.

Liu Qingcao looked at the straight green line of the seedling field frame, and she felt a sense of accomplishment.

"You guys have to grow up quickly, don't let me down!"

Facing the summer wind, Liu Qingcao went to the Shihe River to wash off the mud and dirt on her body. The river water was cool and comfortable.

Seeing the small fish in the river swimming happily, Liu Qingcao thought of the picture of digging bamboo shoots, picking snails and fishing when she first came here a month ago.

"It's so good now, life is like this, so I can make a living." Liu Qingcao sighed, she is a person who loves life, doesn't like wasting time, and always wants to do something to prove the meaning of life. The busy time has enriched myself and made me forget those thoughts about the 21st century.

"Jiangbei, tell my sister what you want to eat tonight, and I will satisfy you." Liu Qingcao was in a good mood, and when she got home, she sat in the yard and called Liu Jiangbei to order.

"Wow, really, I want to eat cake, pork ribs with potatoes, um, just these two!" Liu Jiangbei blinked his big black eyes, looking at her expectantly.

"Okay, it's still early, my sister will make it for you." Liu Qingcao readily agreed, then turned to ask the old man Niu again. "Uncle Niu, what do you want to eat?"

"Look at it!" The old man Niu continued sawing the wood without raising his head.

Liu Qingcao lowered her head and pondered for a while, then went to the woodshed.

Take out eggs, flour, potatoes, ribs, and a piece of pork belly.
