Chapter 91 Slowly Blending Together
It takes half an hour to walk from Liantang Village to Feitian Village, which is exactly halfway between Liantang Village and the county seat.
Li Baisong, Li Yulan, Dadaner and Erdaner, as well as the deliveryman Li Laoer, walked towards this direction together.
"Little brother, what do you think mother means? She told you to take more to Feitian Village to sell. Is she worried that the people in Feitian Village won't take it to the city?"
"yes."
Li Lao Er looked at Li Bosong and asked, "What do you mean by right?"
"Brother, think about it, if a bunch of people take braised pork to the county town to sell, will the price of pork go up?"
Li Lao Er nodded. "Of course. Those butchers kept asking me what my family was doing. I didn't say a word. They must have been trying to find out so I could start my own business."
"I think I know what Mom wants to do. If that's the case, the more people want to do this business, the better." Li Baisong patted Li Laoer. "Don't worry, second brother. The price of meat has gone up, and their meat is not tasty. There's no money to be made, so they naturally won't do this business anymore. Besides, people outside have tasted the bad taste. When we set up a stall again, won't business be better? Think about it, isn't that reasonable?"
Li Laoer nodded. "That's reasonable, but little brother, what does mother want to do? Can you tell us?"
"Don't say that. What if I'm wrong and you tell others about it? What if Mom gets mad at me? I won't tell anyone. Let's go quickly. We'll wait for you in Feitian Village."
Li Laoer: "..."
At the entrance of Feitian Village, Li Baisong and Li Yulan put down their backpacks together.
"Big Egg, Second Egg, it's up to you."
Dadan and Erdan received the order, put their hands to their mouths, made them into trumpet shapes, and started shouting in the direction of the village.
"Braised pork for sale! Braised pork for sale! Five cents a bowl. Buy two bowls and get a bowl of braising liquid for free. Take it home and braise it yourself. There's not much braising liquid left, so it's first come, first served!"
The Yang brothers heard the childish shouts as they arrived at the village entrance with their baskets on their backs.
Both of their faces turned black.
They went to the city yesterday to buy pig's head meat and spent more than 100 coins. They cooked it with Lao Li's brine and took it to the city to sell today. The business seemed to be good, but after a busy day, they only earned 20 coins.
It would be better for the two of them to go directly to the city to find work.
Someone in Feitian Village knew about what the Yang brothers had done. They thought that when the Yang brothers made some money, they would also buy meat and sell it in the city. When they saw them coming back, they immediately came up to them and asked, "Yang Liang, how was your business today? How much did you make?"
Yang Liang's younger brother Yang Guang was about to speak, but Yang Liang pulled Yang Guang and said, "How could they be the only ones who suffered?"
Yang Guangcai paused for a moment, and then Yang Liang said, "I earned a little, but not much."
After saying that, he pulled his brother away, as if to say, "I earn a lot, but I won't tell you the truth."
"Give me four bowls of braised meat. Can you give me three bowls of the braising liquid? If not three, just two and a half bowls will be fine. If you come again tomorrow, I'll buy two more bowls, seriously."
The group was busy and sweating profusely. In just two quarters of an hour, all the braised meat and braising liquid they brought were sold out.
Some people saw that Li Baisong and the others were young, so they kept asking them what kind of marinade was needed for the braised meat.
Li Baisong continued, "Cao Guo, star anise... the more expensive ingredients you put in, the more fragrant it is. We only sell you five cents a bowl. We really don't make much money, we just earn a few cents through hard work."
The person asking the question: “…”
…
Qin Fangci waited for the butcher in the town.
The butcher and Qin Fangci finalized the meat delivery and after receiving the deposit, he kindly said to Qin Fangci, "Um, Auntie, please don't ask Brother Baisong to go to town recently."
Qin Fangci frowned, "What do you mean? What happened today?"
"Ah, Brother Bosong hasn't said anything yet?" The butcher realized that he might have said something wrong and became a little anxious.
He originally wanted to talk to Li Baisong directly, but Li Baisong was not at home.
"Nothing, it wasn't caused by the little brother," the butcher briefly recounted what happened that morning. "It must have been the Wu family kid who did something bad, so he was beaten up by the Xu family kid. His face is bruised and swollen. The Wu family has many women, so they protect him closely. Xu Guangtian and Xu Wentian are back too. Those two brothers have been doing business away from home for years and have seen blood. A fight between the two families isn't a big deal. I'm afraid of accidentally hurting little brother Baisong, so I'll just avoid the spotlight for now."
"Thank you very much. I know about this. I will tell him when he comes back. Thank you for your help."
"It's okay, it's just a matter of words."
After finally finding a regular big buyer, the butcher wanted to keep this business going for a longer period of time.
When Li Baisong returned home, it was just getting dark, a little earlier than usual.
Except for Sandan and Siya, no one in Old Li's family has gone to bed yet.
"Mom, we're back. You have no idea how much we're selling today. If we weren't waiting for my second brother, we would have come back a long time ago." Li Yulan was very happy. As long as it didn't affect the family's income, the people in Feitian Village could do whatever they wanted. "Mom, I think we can buy more to sell tomorrow. I think they all want to take our braised meat back home and braise it themselves."
"No need. You can make dried meat with me at home tomorrow. We have to make more since we haven't planted rice yet. Otherwise, I won't be able to deliver the dried meat later. I have to do what I promised." Qin Fangci looked at Li Baisong, "Xiaowu, the butcher reminded you today not to go to the town for the time being."
Li Yulan immediately lowered her head guiltily, "Mom, that's not my fault. It's just that those people went too far."
Qin Fangci said: "I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. We have a lot of family members, so we shouldn't be afraid of trouble when we go out."
Li Yulan became hesitant again, "Mom, shall we go to town again? Bring my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and my second and third sisters-in-law..."
"And me, and me." Dadaner and Erdaner jumped and raised their hands.
Daya and Erya also looked at Li Yulan, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.
"Alright, I'll take you with me. You have no idea how outrageous those people are. They actually told me to crawl under their crotch and even said we were classmates. Ugh! You must have been bullied before, right? This is a perfect opportunity for us to fight you back!"
"What?! Who are you, little bastard? Why didn't you say anything, little brother?" Li Laoer asked angrily.
"Mom, I can go and call my brothers from my mother's side." Wang followed.
Boss Li flinched a bit and waved his hands, saying, "Don't be impulsive, don't hurt anyone. Little brother, have you been sneaking around? No, right? Where did this bad guy come from? Mr. Pan doesn't care about it? Mr. Pan has dealt with many disobedient children in the family before."
He has suffered several blows to the head.
"How about we go tell that Mr. What? It's not worth it if we get hurt in a fight."
It was noisy, but the unity was visible to the naked eye.
Qin Fangci watched silently from the side, thinking about the first day they arrived, when they were all doing their own thing, being cold and selfish.
See, it's slowly coming together...
