Chapter 79 Next
Li Baisong first put the wine in the kitchen, found a bamboo tube and poured all the wine into it, covered it with a bamboo lid, and then found a hidden place to hide the wine. Only then did he feel at ease.
"Little brother, what are you doing?" Mrs. Du, who had grown a little bolder, asked quietly.
"Shh." Li Baisong raised a finger to his lips, "Sister-in-law, just pretend you didn't see it. Keep it a secret."
Mrs. Du nodded repeatedly and went out to pick beans silently. I didn’t see anything. I didn’t see anything.
Li Baisong put down the wine and went out to tinker with the bamboo.
"Mr. Pan, can you teach me how to cut bamboo?"
"Okay, but first you have to tell me what you're going to do with the bamboo."
"You'll know when it's done. I guarantee you'll be interested." Li Baisong kept the secret. He planned to make an old-fashioned distiller, the Tianguo distillation.
After he purified the wine, he would use it to negotiate with Mr. Pan and ask Mr. Pan to help him write the story.
As for selling purified wine, Li Baisong couldn't even think about it, as that was not something the current Li family could touch.
Making wine from grain requires a lot of capital, which they don't have.
They had no market for the wine they made.
The most important thing is that if someone covets them, they will not be able to protect themselves.
It’s not that Li Baisong can’t write by himself. He can’t write with a brush, but he can use charcoal.
But that's equally risky.
How many days had the original body been in school?
We still have to use Pan Lazi's tiger skin to ensure safety.
Li Bosong and Pan Laita spent the entire morning tinkering with this.
Only after everyone in the family returned did the two of them manage to complete a small still.
"Little brother, what are you doing?"
Li Yulan had been curious for a long time.
Li Baisong said mysteriously: "A little thing."
Li Yulan: “…” You know how to talk nonsense.
Pan Laita was also very curious. What could this thing have to do with his wine?
Until he saw Li Baisong put the little thing on the small clay stove.
"You want to steam wine?"
"Yeah." Li Baisong nodded. "I've always wanted to try what steamed wine would taste like, but unfortunately I don't have any wine at home."
Li Baisong said it seriously.
Pan Laita felt distressed and curious at the same time.
Finally decided to steam wine with Li Bosong.
Of course, before they started, everyone had lunch.
The tofu was a success.
This meal is naturally a tofu feast.
Minced meat with tofu pudding, stir-fried tofu, mixed with brown rice, everyone can eat without even raising their heads.
Qin Fangci only stopped Wang for a moment, "Tofu is cold in nature. Si Ya is still young, so one bowl is enough. Eating too much will cause stomach upset."
When Wang heard this, she scooped a spoonful of tofu into her bowl.
Si Ya looked at her mother with tears in her eyes.
Qin Fangci put a piece of meat into Si Ya's bowl and said, "Be good, eat meat and you will grow stronger."
Si Ya immediately smiled happily and said in a baby voice, "Thank you, grandma."
Qin Fangci: “…” The little girl was still so polite, but it sounded like she was only half polite.
After dinner, Qin Fangci gathered everyone in the yard and held a brief meeting.
Adjustments have been made regarding the development of Mr. Li’s family and personal arrangements for the next month.
First, Li Baisong will keep unified accounts of wages and settle them monthly. The previously mentioned rule that each family pays 80% and keeps 20% is not counted for the time being, because no one has independent business at present. The payment will be made when everyone earns money independently.
Second, division of labor.
The three little piglets are taken care of by Daya and Erya, which includes cleaning the pigpen once a day.
Dadan and Erdan are responsible for the little ducks, which also includes cleaning up their poop.
The feces should be piled in the corner of the backyard, as far away from the residence as possible.
Third, every day the three brothers, Li Lao Da, Li Lao Er and Li Lao San, take turns delivering the goods in pairs.
Fourth, to develop the tofu market, just like selling braised meat before, they took the route of surrounding towns from the countryside. The main force selling tofu was the Yuan, Wang and Li Yulan families, and all the tofu beauties of the Li family were very excited.
Fifth, there are not enough people at home. Once the tofu business is on track, Qin Fangci plans to hire someone to help. She has decided on the Ma brothers.
Grinding a mill is a strenuous job. The two brothers of the Ma family are young, strong, capable and quiet, and are good candidates. Qin Fangci only thought about this option in her mind and did not tell anyone about it for the time being.
Everyone in the Li family was stunned after hearing this.
"Do we need to hire more people? How much will that cost?" Boss Li asked hesitantly.
Qin Fangci looked at him and said, "It's OK if you three brothers can finish pushing tofu at home that day."
Li Laosan thought of what the owner of Jufulou said. If the tofu could not be delivered earlier, the restaurant would not accept it. If he did not hire anyone, the people who stayed at home would have to get up in the middle of the night to grind the mill so that the tofu could be made in time for them to go to the city.
It’s dark and you can’t see, so you have to light a torch.
"Mom, if we go to the mill every day, won't the villagers have any objections?" asked Li Laosan.
"Of course, there will be opinions after a long time. There is no such thing as taking advantage for nothing. Fortunately, most people in our village listen to the old village chief."
Having an authoritative village chief really saves a lot of trouble.
It turned out that Qin Fang was a troublemaker in the village and had caused the old village chief a lot of headaches.
After hearing what his mother said, Li Laosan continued tentatively: "When our family earns money, we should buy ourselves a stone mill."
"What? We need to buy a stone mill. Tofu is made from soybeans, which are worthless. How can we earn back the money we spent on the stone mill? Mom, I think we should make braised meat first. We can make more and sell it."
You can make money without hiring anyone or grinding the mill.
Boss Li looked at Qin Fangci eagerly, and Qin Fangci's hands itched again, "You still think the mosquito's legs are too small? Do you want me to separate you now? You can live alone and have your own place. You can be idle and lazy as you like."
Before Boss Li could respond, Madam Du got anxious and said, "Mom, we don't mind, we don't mind the mosquito legs being too small, please don't kick us out."
"Don't panic. I can't tolerate lazy people now." Qin Fangci comforted.
Boss Li glared, "What do you mean, mother?"
"It means I can just separate you and let you live on your own."
Everyone in the Old Li family: "..."
Ah, is this kind of operation possible?
Qin Fangci said, yes.
As long as she is there, everything is possible.
She not only planned to buy a stone mill, but also wanted to buy a small donkey, because a donkey is much more obedient when pulling a mill than a person.
However, their current house cannot accommodate the space, so they have to expand the house.
To sum it up, you have to work hard to make money.
Qin Fangci didn't say a word about these long-term plans.
"Okay, let's talk about the sixth point. As I said before, it's your own business. Don't go out and talk nonsense. If anyone can't control his mouth, I don't mind kicking him out."
Everyone in the Li family nodded repeatedly, indicating that they could control their mouths.
Really, especially the children, they all nodded in agreement.
They are the most obedient.
Following grandma, they had meat and tofu to eat, and they were able to eat their fill every day during this period, but they never told anyone when they went out.
The family meeting ended here and everyone started to get busy.
Qin Fangci can now completely let go of the braised food business.
To roast the pig's head and wash the pig's offal, Qin Fangci only needed to prepare the ingredients, and Mrs. Du could already control the heat and cook it herself.
