Chapter 51 Everyone is for themselves
Wang Pozi and others didn’t know what the patriarch was thinking. When they heard the patriarch’s words, they thought that the patriarch was going to ask, so they didn’t delay him and left their business. Go home and listen!
Everyone had dispersed. Patriarch Li thought for a moment and stepped out of the door. He met Li Yishan who was walking out of the opposite door.
“Clan leader!”
“Second brother, did you hear that just now?”
Li Yishan nodded, he was at home, how could he not hear Mrs. Gang Wang's voice when she was so loud.
The patriarch nodded immediately, "I'm going to find the fourth child, you come with me!"
As he spoke, the two of them headed to the west of the village together.
When there was no one on the road, Patriarch Li couldn't help but ask Li Yishan, "Fourth, what's going on with Jihe's family selling candy? Do you know about this?"
Li Yishan shook his head, "No! If Mrs. Wang hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known about it!"
He was also curious about what was going on, but what he was more concerned about was what the clan leader was thinking. He would not really listen to Mrs. Wang. He wanted Jihe to let Jihe take everyone to sell sweets, right?
The younger brothers split up the family. Except for the eldest brother, who has a slightly better life and has so much land, the second brother and his family only have three acres of land. After building a house, they don’t even have the money left to divide the family. Okay, it will be difficult to live life in the future!
Especially for Jihe, the marriage of the eldest son and eldest daughter is an immediate matter, and what is needed is money! It was not easy. Jihe's family started making candy and selling it. Don't worry about how he made it, why he sold it so expensively, he just heard that Jihe could make money, and he was very happy!
But if you bring the clan together to sell sugar, how can you sell it well if there are so many people selling sugar?
Isn’t this a way for the tribesmen to steal your own business?
The patriarch heard that Li Yishan didn't know either, so he didn't ask any more questions. The two of them went straight to Father Li's place without stopping.
The west part of the village is so far away. Naturally, Father Li didn’t know about this incident. He was very happy to see the patriarch and his eldest brother coming home together. He happily greeted the two of them into the house to sit down. He also asked the eldest daughter-in-law at home to quickly make a bowl of sugar water for the patriarch and eldest brother.
After the patriarch sat down, he said: "Fourth brother, do you know what Jihe has been doing recently?"
Dad Li was stunned when he heard this, what has the second family been doing recently? ? The first thing he thought of was the business matter that his second brother mentioned to him.
What's wrong? Could it be that something happened? Otherwise, why would the good patriarch come to ask?
Father Li panicked. He was really afraid that something would happen to his second son. Tell me, none of their ancestors farmed the land and had no business. This is not a question of what to sell on the market, right?
It’s also my fault that he didn’t go out all day because of his calf muscle yesterday, and he didn’t even ask about his dick.
"Clan leader, has something happened to Jihe?" he asked anxiously.
"No! Nothing happened!" Seeing Father Li's reaction, the patriarch guessed that he didn't know anymore and was afraid that he would panic, so he hurriedly told the matter.
Dad Li heard that something had happened to his second son. It turned out that the pomegranate brothers and sisters were doing a good business selling fructose at the market!
Ouch, I never thought that what the second child said would come true! Actually selling candy? Anyone else buy it?
Well, I finally have some income!
Mr. Wu was bringing in sugar water when she heard the patriarch’s words and felt excited in her heart.
She just said that the second roommate kept all the kudzu root in his hands and did not sell it, so he used it to make kudzu powder. It turned out that he had a way to make sugar!
With this method, it’s okay to hide it from others, even them! Are they still brothers? He knew that they had also made kudzu powder, but he didn't even tell them, just silently selling candy to make money! This is too unseemly!
As soon as the patriarch heard about this, he hurried over. What did he want to do? Is it possible that you want your father-in-law to ask your second wife to teach the family how to make sweets?
How about this! Just like the kudzu root last time, everyone in the clan sold kudzu root, which caused their family to make less money!
Wu's heart was turbulent. She didn't go far after leaving the main room, and she pricked up her ears to listen to what was said inside.
In the main room, Father Li was so happy that his second family was making money, but he couldn't help but feel something bad about it. He looked at the patriarch and told a lie without thinking: "Chief, Who said this? I don’t even know what kind of candy they are selling!”
He didn't know he was selling candy.
The clan leader couldn't help but sigh, "Someone saw the pomegranate brothers and sisters selling sweets at the market. When they came back and told them, the clan knew about it. You also know that the clan leader heard that Jihe was not selling kudzu. I asked Pomegranate to use all the kudzu roots to make kudzu powder, thinking that the kudzu powder could be sold for money, but the market just happened to not accept kudzu roots. No, it was another I went to my parents' house and some relatives, so I got a lot of kudzu root and made kudzu powder.
I found that many families had a lot of kudzu powder. When I heard about pomegranates being sold as candy, I couldn't help but feel happy. No idea? You are thinking of asking Jihe’s family to teach them how to make sweets!”
Dad Li was dumbfounded when he heard this.
No, it’s not easy for Lao Er’s family to get such an income. Who knows how much money they can make by selling this candy? If we do this together with our clan members, we won’t be able to sell it by then, but we will still be complaining!
Besides, this is making candy! It’s not just about making any dish that is really easy to sell, it’s a craft, and the recipe can be passed down from family to family!
He has not even thought about asking the second child to take the eldest, third and fourth children to do it - the tribesmen's minds are spinning faster than him!
The Wu family outside was very excited when they heard what the patriarch said. It was indeed like this!
She rolled her eyes, turned around and went to the west room.
In the room over there, Mrs. Jiang is busy weaving with her daughter every day!
In the main room, Father Li's thoughts changed and he looked at the patriarch and said: "Chief, there are only a few of us brothers here. I won't hide anything from you. Let's talk about it. We are all members of the Li clan. Logically speaking, it's true." What a way to make money, you can’t hide it! Just like the previous news about digging kudzu and selling it for money! As long as the tribesmen dig up the kudzu roots, they can sell them on the market for money.
But this time, it’s different! I don’t know how Ji He can sell them for money. It's money, but no matter how you say it, selling sugar is a craft, right? Every family in the clan has a craft. Those who make baskets and dustpans, those who build tiles and pick up tiles, no one wants to teach this craft and let the whole clan do it together!
Not to mention this, just talk about this candy, who knows what to do with them! What kind of luck did it happen? What if it only lasts for two days and then it can’t be sold anymore? If I go, won’t Jihe be blamed in turn?
After all, it’s hard for me to say anything about this, clan leader! Why don’t you wait until I ask Jihe and let’s discuss it later?”
The patriarch also knew that what Father Li said was true, so why couldn't it be the case?
But as soon as the clan members heard about making money, their minds became active.
Isn’t it said in the drama that if people don’t work for themselves, they will be punished by heaven and earth? How can there be people who don’t want to make money?
As a clan leader, if he doesn’t tell the clansmen about this matter, it will become a knot even if he doesn’t talk about it. That can’t be done!
“You are right, Fourth. Let’s call Jihe to ask about this first and then elaborate on it!”
After all, we must first know what Jihe is doing in making candy. !
Knowing that there was nothing at Jihe's new residence, it would be inconvenient to talk there, so Father Li asked his grandson Li Ronghua, who was playing at the door, to go and shout to the east end of the village.
