Chapter 269 Increase the production of braised food
"Qiuli, you've worked hard in your studies. Drink some water to moisten your throat." Hua Xiali handed Hua Qiuli's teacup to Hua Qiuli.
Hua Qiuli reached out to take it embarrassedly, holding the teacup in both hands, drinking while looking at the words in the book. He didn't know why, but his mind suddenly became extremely clear. He could understand the questions that he couldn't understand before. Hua Qiuli was surprised. Could it be because he had read it too many times that he suddenly got it?
When Hua Xiali saw that Hua Qiuli's teacup was empty, he poured the spiritual spring water in his own teacup into Hua Qiuli's teacup. After watching Hua Qiuli finish drinking it, Hua Xiali turned around and went out, and then went home.
After drinking two cups of spiritual spring water, Hua Qiuli felt his mind was clearer and his learning efficiency was much higher, so he turned to the first page of the textbook and started reading again.
Hua Xiali returned home and had dinner with Huo Beixi. After dinner, Hua Xiali handed the pearl to Huo Beixi and said, "Huo Beixi, when you are free, go find that person and ask him to make me another set of jewelry. Necklaces, bracelets, earrings, whatever you want. It's fine as long as I have every kind. After you make pearl jewelry for my family, you can sell pearls to that person later."
Huo Beixi nodded and took the pearl. Naturally, his wife's affairs were his business.
Although Hua Xiali is no longer involved in the salty food business every day like he was before the New Year, he still goes to the town with them to sell salty food occasionally in the evening.
But her purpose was not to sell salt. When she arrived in the town, after everyone took the salt off the wooden cart, she pushed the cart away.
Although she had "rescued" most of the fish and freshwater clams in the reservoir, she still had to go to the reservoir to check if there were any fish that had escaped.
Hua Xiali held a flashlight and walked slowly on the riverbed, searching slowly. If there were indeed some fish that had slipped through the net, she would catch them regardless of their size.
After all, it would be better to let them realize the meaning of their existence in her hands than to let them dry up and die!
She continued her carpet search until the Lantern Festival, and she "saved" many fish and freshwater clams. However, she only searched for two hours every night, which was not that exaggerated, and it was impossible for her to stay in the reservoir forever.
On the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, we had dinner early because Hua Qiuli had to attend classes as usual the next morning and had to return to school this afternoon to clean up the dormitory.
Seeing Hua Xiali hesitate to speak, Hua's mother asked in confusion, "Xia Li, do you have something to say?"
"Mom, I have a plan in mind." Hua Xiali put down his chopsticks, "Mom, let's divide the house first, so that I can apply for a homestead for Qiuli and me, and then build a house. After all, this old house is reserved for my eldest sister and her husband. If we build a house for Qiuli, she won't feel like she has no home or place to go even if she gets married or something. To put it bluntly, with a house and land, she will have the courage and confidence to divorce if the man she marries treats her badly in the future."
Hua Xiali mainly wanted to arrange housing plots and houses for her sisters, so that even if she had an accident like before, her sisters' future would be guaranteed.
Hua's mother was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, then I'll follow your instructions and divide the family! Yongfeng, go call a few village cadres, and we'll divide the family today."
Hua's mother didn't know what Hua Xiali's plan was, but since she mentioned this matter, it meant that she had a plan in mind. So let's do it. It won't affect everyone anyway. Everyone still has to live at home. After all, there is no money to build a house for the three girls now. Once enough money is saved, it will take time to build the house.
After Zhang Yongfeng called over several village cadres, the Hua family split up into four: Hua Chunli and Zhang Yongfeng, Hua Xiali, Hua Qiuli, and Hua's mother and Hua Tiefeng. As for the homestead, Hua Xiali had not applied for it for the time being. She thought about it after some time and decided to spend money to buy more square meters, just like in her previous life. Each of the three sisters would have 300 square meters, so that they could build a big house and still have a yard for activities.
Although Hua Xiali and Huo Beixi are married, they have not yet obtained a marriage certificate. Even if they get the certificate, Hua Xiali does not need to move her household registration. After all, they live in the same village, so she can naturally apply for a homestead.
After dividing the family's belongings and having breakfast and dinner, Hua Qiuli took her things and returned to school.
The news of the Hua family's division spread throughout the village. For a family that owed so much money, no one took the matter seriously, so after a discussion, the matter was forgotten.
It's spring, and it's time to plant the fields. At this time, we have to raise seedlings first, and then plow the land. We can transplant them when the seedlings grow tall. In fact, it's not that busy. After all, we can't do things at the same time, we have to do them one by one.
In the past, Hua Chunli and a few other female comrades had grown the crops. Hua Xiali didn't want to be so tired anymore, so she found her third and fourth uncles and asked them to help her family after they finished their work. They were paid three yuan a day on days when they needed work, and they could do whatever they wanted on days when they didn't.
The family's land was thus entrusted to my third and fourth uncles.
Hua Xiali and her friends cleaned up the vegetable patch in the yard and the private plots allocated in the village, and then planted fruits and vegetables. Hua Xiali also asked Huo Beixi to clear the vacant land in his yard as she wanted to plant sugarcane. As for Hua's mother, she also left a few square meters of land as she also wanted to plant sugarcane.
Because sugarcane is really valuable. In the past, sugarcane cost several yuan per pound, and a piece of sugarcane cost dozens of yuan. Although it is still quite cheap in this day and age, the more you plant, the more income you can earn!
Hua Xiali was the only one who grew the sugarcane. She didn't buy many bundles, just two, and she was able to handle it all by herself.
Hua Chunli will take the college entrance examination in July and will need a large amount of tuition fees by the end of August. In order to change money earlier and save enough tuition fees earlier, Zhang Yongfeng decided to increase the production of halogen.
Zhang Yongfeng changed the original wholesale quantity of 600 kilograms to 2,000 kilograms. Because of the large quantity, he was given a discount and the price of pig offal was only 0.20 yuan per kilogram.
In the past, the quantity was small, so only a few people in their family could handle it. Now there are so many, it is too late to handle it themselves, so they called the third aunt and the fourth aunt to do the work. Hua's mother and the third and fourth aunts are responsible for cleaning, and after the halogen is ready, it has to be packaged. Then Zhang Yongfeng, Hua Chunli and Hua Si Nian are responsible for selling the halogen.
Hua Xiali is responsible for preparing the secret recipe and cooking the brine.
Hua Xiali didn't want to make Hua's mother so tired, nor did he want to delay Hua Chunli's studies, so he called two aunts with whom he had a good relationship to do the work, freeing up Hua's mother and Hua Chunli. The two of them were responsible for cooking the brine and then packing it.
