Chapter 398 The Reason for Making Rice Cakes
At this moment, Li Mingfei also squeezed next to her, with a gloomy face, crying and complaining to his little sister: "Little sister, making rice cakes is really tiring. I, your little brother, am almost exhausted. Come and comfort me!"
Li Guoer readily agreed: "You're kidding! How can you be tired with so many of you taking turns?"
Anyway, she didn't believe it. They were all cultivators. Although they hadn't established their foundation yet, seven or eight of them taking turns would definitely not be exhausted!
"I'm not kidding you, I've been making rice cakes for a week! Woohoo, I'm so tired!"
"A week? Why make so many rice cakes? Who can eat them every day?"
Li Guoer was shocked. Could it be that Fourth Brother said that on purpose to gain her sympathy?
"Of course it's for tourists. Your great grandfather and second grandfather treat their sons and grandsons like cattle in order to make money!" Li Mingfei glanced at his grandfather and then pulled her aside and whispered.
"Ah...this! Why did they suddenly come up with this idea?" Li Guoer opened her mouth, swallowed her saliva, and was speechless for a moment.
It seems that Fourth Brother is really miserable!
Seeing that his younger sister was interested, Li Mingfei put on a bitter face and told her the whole story in a chattering manner.
The thing is, a week ago, my grandmother and the others discussed making some rice cakes for the New Year.
I had just started making them when a local tourist asked me if I could sell some rice cakes to them. It didn't matter if the price was a little higher.
After all, this is purely handmade and tastes much better than those made by machines nowadays.
The grandfather thought that since people came to the village for tourism and stayed at his house, they would want to buy some rice cakes, so of course he had to satisfy them by making more.
I agreed right away, but once I opened the door, other tourists also wanted to buy it!
You can’t sell this one and not that one, right? Helplessly, the grandfather set a good price, thinking that it was much more expensive than the market price, and people would be scared off by the price and not buy it, right?
As a result, the tourists calmly accepted the price.
To be honest, this is purely handmade, and it takes a lot of effort for them to make it, but the price is not expensive.
The old man was dumbfounded, but the words had already been spoken, what could he do?
The tourists ordered 10 kilograms from you and 20 kilograms from him, and then they ordered a lot of them.
Later, even tourists from other families came to place orders, which made things very complicated, so the old man quickly refused.
These tourists found the homestay where they were staying and asked about it. Naturally, the villagers' eyes lit up and they saw a way to make money.
They can also make rice cakes! Their skills are pretty good, but it takes some effort!
If tourists want to buy, then just make it for them. The price is not low, and you can make a good income by the end of the year.
Soon, a trend of hand-made rice cakes emerged in Lijia Village, and every household made and sold them.
It is said that many people in the village sprained their muscles while making rice cakes and ran to Li Guoer's clinic for treatment.
These people with sprains still want to continue their treatment after seeing the doctor, because they want to get more treatment so they can earn more money, but they are reluctant to do so.
How could we not make rice cakes after accepting the order? This is why Li Mingfei and his team made rice cakes for several days in a row.
"Isn't this easy? After the New Year, many male laborers returned from other villages. They also know how to make rice cakes. If we give them half of the profits, there should be many people willing to do it, right?" Li Guoer reminded.
What's the big deal? Why don't you just be so inflexible and insist on doing it yourself?
This is great for both parties, as everyone can make a lot of money before the New Year! Have a prosperous New Year!
"You are so smart, little sister. Why didn't I think of it? I have been exhausted for so many days. I am a big anchor with tens of millions of fans, but now I have to make rice cakes on live broadcast every day!" Li Mingfei slapped his head and suddenly realized. It turned out that all the suffering he had suffered in the past few days was in vain.
"I'm going to talk to my brother and the others about this!"
Li Mingfei gave some instructions and then took his great-grandfather and the others aside to discuss the matter.
Anyway, he doesn't want to make rice cakes anymore, and their fans now call them the Four Rice Cake Brothers.
Seeing how anxious Fourth Brother is, it seems that he is really fed up with making rice cakes.
Luo Xianglian, who was standing by, heard the two siblings' murmurs and chuckled, "It looks like Mingfei is really exhausted this year!"
"Maybe!" Li Guoer didn't quite agree. She felt that a cultivator wouldn't be so fragile. Her fourth brother must be simply being lazy.
"Grandma, how many rice cakes should we make this year?"
"I plan to weigh over 100 pounds this year!"
"Why so many? How long will it take to finish them all?" Li Guoer was surprised. Was her grandmother planning to make the family eat rice cakes every meal? Was it really that delicious?
Luo Xianglian counted on her fingers and said, "How can there be too much? I'll send some to your godfather's family and Xiaoyu's family, and take some away with your grandparents when they pass away. There won't be much left!"
"Oh! So it's not much!" Then he asked Mrs. Zhou, "Grandma, aren't you and Grandpa spending the New Year at my house?"
"No, at the end of the year, there are a lot of guests visiting our house, so your grandfather and I have to go home to receive them!"
She wanted to spend the New Year at her daughter's house in peace and quiet, but the situation did not allow it!
"By the way, I'll have to trouble Xiao Guoer to take your grandpa and me back tomorrow!"
The couple had agreed early in the morning that they would go back after their granddaughter came back.
"Okay!" Li Guoer agreed immediately. She also happened to be going to the capital to see her boyfriend!
After the itinerary was set, she curiously asked Luo Xianglian, "Why are we going to Great-grandfather's house to make rice cakes this year?"
She remembered that in previous years her family was too lazy to do it and just went out to buy it.
Luo Xianglian said with a smile: "Didn't your great-grandfather and his family say that since they are busy, they just asked us to prepare the materials and make them together! We don't have to go out to buy them anymore!"
"Okay, enough talking. I'm going to go help your great-grandmother and the others!"
In just a short while, the rice cake has been beaten and needs to be made into the finished product later.
"Okay, I'll go back and cook first! Tell Grandpa and the others to stop cooking and eat at our house later!"
She didn't know how to make rice cakes, so she didn't go to help and went back to cook for everyone.
Mrs. Zhou continued, "Then Xiao Guoer and I will go back and cook! We don't need so many people here!"
"Okay! Then you two go back and cook!" Luo Xianglian responded without being polite to Old Mrs. Zhou.
The two old ladies got along very well during this period. They had similar personalities and were as close as sisters.
Li Mingfei, who had already discussed with his grandfather and others to hire people to do work in the evening, came over.
"Little sister, it's so cold, let's make lamb ribs. After eating the meat, heat up some vegetables. It's warming and nourishing! And it's simple!"
He likes to eat lamb ribs the most. He has eaten at many restaurants, but none of them can compare to the one made by my little sister. The taste is simply amazing!
