Chapter 140 Making Liangpi

She looked at Gao Zhiyuan, wanting her to speak for her.

Gao Zhiyuan sighed helplessly and said, "Mom, if that doesn't work, borrow some from the tribe members and pay them back after the autumn harvest and selling the grain."

"Don't you think mother doesn't want to? When you divorced, Li said that the scholar only had 30 acres of land tax-free. Then the villagers were not as enthusiastic about us as before. In addition, Xiaohui has been wearing gold hairpins and new clothes these days. If we say that our family has no money, people will not believe us."

Gao Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "Xiaohui, you have two sets of silk and cotton clothes. Take one out and pawn it. Now that you have a gold hairpin, you can pawn the silver your sister-in-law gave you last time. At least it will last for a while."

"Why? I only have those two."

"Don't be so irritable. Don't you know what's going on at home? Do you want to guard those things and watch your family starve to death?"

In the end, Gao Conghui finally took out the things. If she really didn't care about her family, no one would support her when she got married in the future.

Li Wanyue drew a blueprint of a hand-cranked fan and asked Li Sandong to take it to the county town.

After Li Sandong came back, he said that they were not sold in the county town, so he went to the furniture store where Dafabo made the table and asked them to help him make it.

Two days later, Shen Yu made a special trip to Daohua Village to give Li Wanyue a finished hand-cranked fan.

After getting the drawings, the shopkeeper went to tell him that this fan would definitely be popular in the summer.

He was curious in the first place, so he asked people to hurry up and make it.

After seeing the finished product, he immediately decided to come to Li Wanyue to discuss the matter.

When he saw Li Wanyue, he got straight to the point and said, "Wanyue, can I also make this hand-cranked fan?"

Li Wanyue didn't say anything. She just looked at the finished hand-cranked fan.

The total height is about 60 centimeters. There is a bearing in the middle and six fan blades made of silk cloth on the top, supported by a simple diagonal wooden frame.

There was a wooden handle next to it. She gently turned the handle and the fan blades began to spin.

It rotates with almost no noise, and the shaft is smooth and effortless.

It went better than she expected.

After trying it, Li Wanyue did not answer but asked: "There is no such fan in Anping County, is there no such fan in other places?"

"There are other fans, but none as exquisite as yours, at least I haven't seen one." Shen Yu shook his head.

Li Wanyue nodded: "You can do it if you want, just give me a share of it when the time comes."

"Of course, we can't do without yours. We have a lot of tables in stock now. We'll start promoting and selling them soon. Then we'll have people focus on making fans. At least fans are easier to make than tables. By the way, do you have drawings of other shapes?"

Li Wanyue went back to the room and got some pieces of paper. She drew them according to the patterns she had found on the Internet before, but some of them were a little more complicated.

After reading it, Shen Yu sighed again: "How come you have so many wonderful ideas in your head? This hand-cranked fan is small and has a strong wind. If I put a basin of ice in front of it, it will be even cooler."

Li Wanyue agreed.

Shen Yu asked, "Are you going to draft the contract now, or should I wait until I get back and draft it before I come back to you to sign it?"

"Sign it now."

"good."

Li Wanyue returned to the house and quickly wrote two copies according to the previous contract.

After the two of them signed, Shen Yu left in a hurry.

Every moment of delay means a moment of less money earned.

The Li family members gathered around.

Everyone tried to spin it.

Xiaolan said: "It's really cool."

Xiao He nodded in agreement: "It would be even better if it could rotate by itself."

Li Wanyue also wanted it to rotate by itself, but she couldn't do it.

After a short break, she went to the kitchen and kneaded a piece of dough.

The copper plate that was commissioned was completed.

She wanted to make cold noodles, but there were no stainless steel plates, and iron plates and wood were not easy to use, so she thought of copper.

So someone made a flat copper plate.

I'm going to have cold noodles tonight.

Put the kneaded dough in water and knead it continuously. Put the kneaded flour water aside to settle, and steam the remaining flour.

Wang Guixiang looked curious and said, "Yueyue, are you making new food again?"

Li Wanyue smiled and replied: "Yes, it's suitable for summer."

When others heard this, they also looked expectant.

Wait until the evening, when the flour and water have settled, pour out the water on the top and stir the batter at the bottom.

The water in the pot boiled. Li Wanyue brushed a layer of oil on the copper plate, poured a spoonful of flour, shook it evenly, and put it into the hot water.

After a while, they took it out and peeled off the skin. It was crystal clear, which amazed Wang Guixiang and Zhao Suying.

It turns out that this can be done.

I made several in a row, cut them into strips, and filled two pots.

Pour chopped chili peppers into hot oil, then add salt, vinegar and sugar to make a sauce.

Cold noodles, cucumber shreds, add your own seasonings and mix well.

It has a chewy texture, is sour and spicy, and is refreshing, making you feel refreshed.

If there is sesame paste, it will have an extra flavor.

Li Dachuan praised: "Little sister, this noodle is so delicious."

Li Sandong immediately said, "Sister, you can sell this."

This guy is becoming more and more serious about business.

Li Wanyue nodded: "Well, tomorrow we will go to the town to ask Shopkeeper Wu, and the day after tomorrow you can go to Baiweilou and talk to Shopkeeper Li about this cold noodles."

Li Sandong agreed.

It was completely dark and the others went back to their rooms to sleep.

Li Wanyue went to the kitchen, washed the cucumber, cut it into slices, and put it on her face.

Afraid that the cucumber slices would fall, she slowly walked out of the kitchen.

There is a half moon in the sky, and the light and shadow are hazy.

Zhao Suying, who had just come out of the toilet, saw a figure with loose hair walking slowly out of the kitchen in the moonlight. She howled in fright.

It instantly woke up everyone in the room.

Some of them ran out quickly without even wearing shoes.

"Oh my God, is it a human or a ghost?" Zhao Suying slapped her chest.

Li Wanyue: Crows flew overhead.

She wouldn't want to scare her mother into having a heart attack. In order not to scare anyone, she waited until they were asleep before coming out to apply the melon slices.

Next time, just cut the cucumber slices and stick them inside.

Wang Guixiang stepped forward and helped Zhao Suying up.

Li Wanyue had cucumber slices on her face. She said vaguely, "Liang, I miss you, I can't catch up with you, I scared you, didn't I?"

Zhao Suying breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom is fine."

Li Dachuan was puzzled: "Sister, what are you doing?"

"It's too dry. Rehydrate and go to sleep."

Seeing that the old lady was fine, Li Wanyue felt relieved and turned around and slowly returned to the house.

Everyone looked confused.

"Okay, let's all go to bed." Zhao Suying waved her hand and asked everyone to go back to their rooms.

The courtyard returned to peace.

The next day.

While eating breakfast, Zhao Suying asked, "Yueyue, what did you put on your face last night?"

Li Wanyue: "Oh, those are cucumber slices. Putting them on your face can hydrate your skin."

"What? Kid, you use good vegetables to stick on your face. Your face is pretty enough, it looks good even without sticking it on." Zhao Suying glared at her.

Facing her mother who fully affirmed her, Li Wanyue smiled and said, "Mom, I didn't waste it. I fed it to the chickens after applying it on my face."

Sun Xiuqin curled her lips secretly, this sister-in-law really knows how to waste things.

She touched her face secretly and found that her sister-in-law's skin was indeed much better than before.

You should also apply a few moisturizing patches on yourself.
