Chapter 174 Do me a favor
Not only did he go into town and buy a mule cart, but he also bought a cow, saying it was a gift for himself, which made Li Jihe happy. Well, if his health didn't allow it and his family didn't allow it, he would have really wanted to hit the car and go out for a walk right away.
But you can’t drive a car, so there’s no problem in touching the cows and taking a good look at them.
Li Jihe was so happy that his eyes turned red. This was a gift that the children bought together with their money. It cost more than ten ounces of money! So valuable!
Pomegranate looked at her father with red eyes, secretly pursed her lips and smiled, pretending not to see him, leaving the space for her father and mother to talk.
She and Li Rongzong drove a mule cart and pulled a cart full of eggs and duck eggs to the old house.
Lao Yuan is taking Sanni to play in the yard. Four-year-old Sanni is still young after all. She has been accompanied by her grandmother every day these days, and the people she gets along with are all wonderful relatives. A smile appeared on his face, and he looked as lively and innocent as a child should.
"Grandma! Sanni!"
Pomegranate came into the yard and called someone. When Sanni saw her, she jumped up to her and opened her hand to her, " Sister Pomegranate!"
Pomegranate squatted slightly to greet her, picked her up and hung her on her body, and touched her head, "What are Sanni doing?"
"Play with grandma and kick the shuttlecock!" Sanni showed Pomegranate the new shuttlecock that Old Yuan gave her made of chicken feathers.
Pomegranate smiled, put her down, played with her for a while, and then said to the room: "Where is the cousin?"
In the east room, Jiang was listening. He raised his waist and came out loudly, smiled at Shiliu and said: "Your first cousin is in the room. He heard you coming and was asking you."
"I want to talk to my first cousin and second cousin about something!" Pomegranate said.
Li Rongbai was cleaning the pig pen in the backyard. When spring came, it was time to buy piglets and feed them. When he heard the shouting, he stopped what he was doing and went forward, and went into the east room to help him. Li Rongsong came out and sat in the main room.
Father Li was also smoking a dry cigarette in the main room. Hearing what Pomegranate said about something, he also looked at it curiously.
Pomegranate looked at Li Rongsong and the two of them and said, "That's it. I have something to ask my first cousin and second cousin for help."
When Li Rongsong heard this, he said without thinking, "What's the matter? pomegranate Just say, even if my legs and feet are inconvenient, I still have your second cousin!"
Li Rongbai also hurriedly nodded in agreement with his elder brother and said: "Yes, if anything happens, just say hello to Pomegranate, and I'll do it right away! Can go! ”< br>
Pomegranate said: "Didn't I build a shop in the city and plan to open a specialty shop? In addition to selling meat floss and salted egg yolk, I also plan to sell preserved eggs. There are workshops for meat floss and salted egg yolk. but I have to find someone to make these preserved eggs, and it’s not easy to open a workshop for a while, so I thought about asking my cousins to help me with this task, so that it can be done in one place and it will save a lot of mess.
This is easy to do, and it doesn’t take much effort. You can do it sitting down. With Sister Yangmei, Sister Yangtao and you guys, you can almost do it!
I will teach you how to do this, and I have prepared the required materials. Making these preserved eggs costs ten cents for every fifty eggs. What do you think? "
When Li Rongsong heard this, he said without thinking: "It's not busy now, and everyone has nothing to do. This is just a small thing to make an egg, how can it be regarded as money? Pomegranate, don’t say such outspoken words! How do you make this preserved egg? You just disciplined us, and we will help you do it now, don’t say it’s money or not! "
Pomegranate said: "This is not something you can do just this time. If you sell well, you will do it all the time. If you don't help once, how can you help often? If you want to do this, cousin, then I will have to find someone else to do this job! ”
Having said this, how could Li Rongsong not know that Pomegranate was specifically thinking about them and gave them this money-making career!
It was still a job that could make money at home, a job that he could do while sitting down even though he couldn't move his legs.
He was moved in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "Since Pomegranate can trust us, we will do this job! Don't worry, we will do a good job for you and won't ruin Pomegranate's business." "
Dad Li was filled with emotion when he heard that this was the case. Pomegranate is a good child. She thinks of her, so she gives her girls the job of making salted egg yolk sauce. Each one costs two cents to make a jar. Now, her girls make more than 30 bucks a day. As for Tan, he came back from work in the evening with a smile on his face, which made the two elders look happy.
Now Pomegranate is very considerate of Rongsong and the others, and offers such a job to make money——
Alas, Father Li couldn't help but grit his teeth thinking about his eldest brother's dissatisfaction. How harmonious are the brothers and sisters in their big family? It’s because the boss is so crooked!
Fortunately, none of the juniors had any grudges about this, and he was also happy.
When Pomegranate leaves later, he will have to talk to his eldest and second grandson, and do this properly.
The moment Li Rongsong agreed, Pomegranate called out Yangmei Yangtao and the others, including the pregnant Jiang, who also volunteered to help.
Pomegranate first washed out all the eggs and put them in a ventilated place to dry to remove the moisture. The moisture must be dried out.
When I was washing the eggs, I counted them all. Although you already count the eggs when you buy pomegranates, you might as well count them again.
Counting now, there are 325 duck eggs and 675 eggs.
The total adds up to exactly one thousand eggs. After making these one thousand eggs, it will be two hundred yuan of handmade money.
It works quickly. It only takes a few people to finish a thousand eggs in one day.
After hearing this settlement, Li Rongsong and others also became excited.
While the eggs are drying, start burning the plant ashes, grind the quicklime, and sift through it to ensure there are no large particles.
Waiting for the plant ash to come out, put the lime powder, alkali and plant ash into a wooden basin and stir evenly.
This alkali is produced by filtering and burning plant ashes. Farmers use this alkali when making rice dumplings and yellow cakes. Eating it will not harm the body.
Then stir-fry the salt in a pot, add water and some tea leaves, and bring to a boil over high heat. Let it cool for a while before pouring it into a wooden basin. Stir it together with the lime and other ingredients to form a sticky mud. shape.
Then put the eggs one by one and wrap them as thickly as possible. After covering them with mud, roll them in the chaff, wrap them in the chaff, and finally put them into the jar.
This step is simple, just sit down and do it. Even Li Rongsong has no problem at all. He is worried that he can't move for a day and his family is in debt. The most important thing is that Brother Tan is smart and should be sent to school to continue studying. Yes, but now I have no choice but to stay at home. At most, I can wait until the village school starts to start school.
He thought to save more money, it would be better to send Brother Tan to study for a few years.
After the clay eggs are filled in the jar, cover the mouth of the jar with large tree leaves, and then paste the leaves with yellow mud to prevent them from breathing. In this way, it can be stored for about a month. If the weather changes later When it warms up, you can prepare it about ten days in advance.
The preparation of a whole preserved egg with preserved pineapple is very simple. Pomegranate mainly taught Li Rongsong how many eggs should be made with lime and lime in each wooden basin, and how much salt should be added at one time——
The bayberry and carambola sisters are used to being kitchen assistants. They learned quickly and remembered carefully. They ordered some snacks to show that they remembered.
