Chapter 64 Mother and Daughter
Li Xiaoying was at a loss for words. She then thought about how she would need her mother's help to get this done. It didn't matter if she said it earlier or later. She might as well make it clear now.
After hearing her daughter's explanation, Aunt Li Shiyi was surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it made sense.
Who wouldn’t want such a good thing?
Since Li Xiaoying had said everything, she simply hugged her mother's arm and shook it coquettishly, "Mom, please help me. If this succeeds, I will be proud at home! We will also have an additional source of income, and life will be better!"
Aunt Li Shiyi naturally also hoped that her daughter would have a good life, but she was from Zaihu Village and could not help but hesitate.
Li Xiaoying smiled and said, "Mom, we didn't say we stole the good things from the village. We just hope that if the big boss wants to consider other villages in the future, he will consider us. The big boss bought so much land in one go, it's such a big deal, who knows if he will have work yet! Can he just focus on Zaihu Village? I think he will probably look for other villages too. If he gets the land for free, it would be better for us to give it to Bajiao Village! Don't you think so?"
Aunt Li Shiyi nodded: "That's true."
Aunt Li Shiyi still went to the headman's house to tell him.
The sugar-pressing workshop and the paper-making workshop are all built in Zaihu Village. The village head does not have to worry about the villagers having no work in the future. In daily life, Miss Zhao occasionally mentioned that she would go to other places. In this case, it is better to go with the flow.
The head of the village warned Aunt Li Shiyi to do whatever she wanted, but she must not harm the interests of the village.
Aunt Li Shiyi agreed repeatedly. Of course she would not be so foolish. Who could harm the village? They were all relatives. Wouldn't that be asking people to stab them in the back?
So, within two days, Li Xiaoying took her two children to send Aunt Li Shiyi to Yan Village.
She heard that the Zhao family also had two children, and if the children played with each other, it would save the adults from embarrassment.
Aunt Li Shiyi picked a lot of fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden and brought some papayas, pears, longans and other fruits, and went to Yan Village together.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling did not go up the mountain to look for mushrooms and bamboo shoots these days, but rested at home.
They have found a lot of mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and are drying them in the sun. They estimate that there are about 20 to 30 kilograms of dried mushrooms, enough to eat for half a year.
The weather has been good recently, which is a good opportunity to make some dried beans, dried eggplants, dried radishes, etc.
She discussed with Hu Ling and Qu Yutao that they could go to Yan Village in a few days to prepare to invite everyone to dig potatoes.
She wants to buy all the potatoes for seeds.
Buy land and plant special crops next year.
Potatoes are abundant in harvest, easy to store, and can be cooked in a variety of ways. The first step is to sell them in county towns and provincial capitals to promote how they are eaten. At the same time, potato vermicelli can be made and sold to more distant places.
This is definitely a good way to make money.
Furthermore, this will also help to quickly promote potatoes, a good thing that benefits the country and the people. In case of famine, it will be a life-saving thing.
The nutritional content of potatoes is richer and more comprehensive than that of sweet potatoes.
Now that potatoes have been promoted, it will definitely be much easier to promote sweet potatoes, which are of a similar type.
The combination of these two powerful weapons is a must-have magic weapon in famine.
Moreover, she can make money and get rid of the crime as soon as possible.
Originally, this matter couldn't be done so early, but who can blame her for having an extra three thousand taels of silver in her hands now!
What's the point of keeping this money in my hands? I might as well buy some land and start working!
Not only does she have the support of Zaihu Village, but she also has Mr. Zhou and General Zhong as her backers. Moreover, few people know that the Zhao family is the "big boss behind the scenes", so she is not afraid of others coveting and making trouble.
The Zhao family was very happy that Aunt Li Shiyi came back.
"Sister-in-law (Aunt Eleven) is finally here. We've all been a little uncomfortable with your absence these past few days, and it feels like something's missing!"
He also warmly welcomed Aunt Li Shiyi's daughter, grandson and granddaughter, and invited them into the house with a smile.
Mrs. Deng was gentle and kind, and especially liked children. She quickly took out some candy for the two children and called Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin to play together.
The children happily ate candies and played with the puppy together in the yard, and soon they were having fun together.
Because they had to be on guard against the Gu family, the family didn't dare let Zhao Lixiang and Zhao Lin go to the village to play with the other children. Although they could wander around in the vegetable garden and the mountains, or play in the yard, feed chickens and puppies, fish, etc., Zhao Xiang also had to teach them to recite and write every day, so they wouldn't be bored, but they were still without playmates.
Now that there are two children in the family, the brother and sister are very happy.
Li Xiaoying and Aunt Li Shiyi were also happy.
The Zhao family just thought that Li Xiaoying was worried about her mother and was afraid that her mother might suffer some grievances in the Zhao family, so they sent her over to see it with their own eyes. They didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
This is human nature.
Hearing that Li Xiaoying was from Bajiaozhai, Zhao Liya couldn't help but ask.
Zaihu Village is good, but it is not enough for her to show her strength. Sooner or later, she will have to expand the scale.
Li Xiaoying was worried that she had no chance to promote her village, and when Zhao Liya asked about it, wasn't this just what she wanted?
The two of them actually got along better and better the more they talked, with Aunt Li Shiyi and Widow Qu occasionally saying a few words.
Seeing that it was almost noon, the Zhao family naturally invited Li Xiaoying and the others to stay for lunch. Li Xiaoying insisted on helping to cook lunch.
Tired of eating rich fish and meat during the holidays, Zhao Liya didn't buy any meat these two days, so she took a lot of eggs to cook.
Tomato and egg, fried egg with green onion, crispy river fish with chili pepper, lettuce with garlic, and stir-fried bamboo shoots.
Although the dish is simple, the Zhao family is willing to use oil, salt and seasoning, so it still tastes delicious.
Li Xiaoying finally saw firsthand how good her mother's life was at the Zhao family. No wonder her aunt and her third aunt were so envious! She was envious too, but she was mostly happy for her mother.
The sweet and sour tomato and egg dish has always been the most popular among children. Liangge and Xiaoduo grabbed the spoon and ate it mouthful by mouthful, which was delicious.
Li Xiaoying was amazed. "We have these sweet and sour red fruits in the corner of our vegetable garden. We usually pick them and eat them raw. They don't taste that good. They have to be fully ripe. If they're a little raw, they're so sour. I didn't expect them to taste so good when cooked!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Aunt Li Shiyi said, "Everyone in our village thought the same thing before, but it wasn't until Xiaoya taught us how to make it that everyone finally understood. This is the best with scrambled eggs. It can also be used to stir-fry beans, make soups, stew meat, or braise tofu. Everyone who has eaten it says it's delicious."
Li Xiaoying laughed and said, "Xiaoya is really smart! I must remember this and teach our fellow villagers when I get back."
Everyone chatted and laughed while having lunch, and Li Xiaoying helped Qu Yutao wash the dishes.
It was almost time, she couldn't stay much longer and had to leave.
Keep asking for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets and collection support, it will be on the shelves soon
