Chapter 55: Prepare in advance

After exiting the door of Manfulou, Yao said excitedly: "Second sister-in-law didn't expect to be able to sell at such an expensive price. You are really amazing. I see that Xiaoer and the shopkeeper can't speak."
Lin Qingwan smiled and patted her hand, her face thoughtful.
After a few more steps, she asked Yao, "Where does the third brother do odd jobs, do you know the third brother and sister?"
Yang Tiegen Chengri left early and returned late. Lin Qingwan barely saw him, so she didn't know what Yang Tiegen was doing at this time.
Yao was taken aback, but nodded.
"I know, I heard from Xiang Gong that he did not have a long period of part-time work during this period. He usually stayed near the cart and waited to give people anti-bags, because there are often people who need to move things and need coolies to help."
"Then you take me to the third brother, I want to ask him for help."
Yao nodded and led Lin Qingwan to the north of Luoyun Town.
The carts and horses in Yao's mouth is actually a street. Because there are several carts and horses on the street, people usually call it a cart and horse shops.
At this time, it was still early to noon, but there were no mule carts stopping near the carriages. Lin Qingwan saw a lot of people dressed as coolies squatting in the corner, as if they were all waiting for work.
The two dressed rustically, with turbans on their heads, and they didn't look conspicuous. Walking along the way, it's not attractive. After walking for a while, I saw Yang Tiegen squatting there waiting for work just like the others waiting for work.
Yao cried forward, Yang Tiegen looked up and found out why his wife was here, thinking that something was wrong at home, he hurriedly stood up.
"What's wrong? What's the matter at home?"
Yao shook his head and turned to look at Lin Qingwan.
"Second sister-in-law has something to ask you for help."
Yang Tiegen found out that the second sister-in-law standing next to him was just about to ask what was going on. Lin Qingwan said, "It's not convenient to talk here. It just happened to be noon. Let's find a place to have lunch and speak slowly."
Yang Tiegen looked embarrassed, "Second sister-in-law, I don't need it anymore, I have dry food."
Lin Qingwan knew that he didn't want to help her, but was afraid of spending money. He couldn't help but said that he took Yao Shi and walked forward, but Yang Tiegen had to follow behind.
There are a few stalls selling meals near the carts and horses. Usually many coolies don’t go back at noon. If the conditions are better, they will buy a bowl of noodles to eat. The savings will be like Yang Tiegen’s. Prepare yourself some dry food or something.
It was cold and windy, Lin Qingwan couldn't bear to eat dry food, and she wanted to buy something back later.
The three found a noodle stall, and one ordered a bowl of noodles and sat down.
Lin Qingwan told Yang Tiegen about the middle of the matter in a low voice, and told him to go to Manfulou in a few days and ask him to buy some pork back tomorrow and the next day. The most important thing is to buy enough pig intestines.
Yes, Lin Qingwan is going to make more sausages and put them at home.
First of all, it doesn't matter whether the shopkeeper Li sells it or not. If it doesn't sell well, she can eat it at home. Dachshunds are not like other things, they can be put, and they won’t be a problem until June next year. If it sells well, it would be even better. Her family sold 10 kilograms and 7 or 8 kilograms, which is not enough to sell well. And this thing is not something that is cooked and eaten now, it needs to be air-dried for a few days.
Anyway, Lin Qingwan feels that it is always good to be prepared.
Yang Tiegen asked how much pork he wanted and how many pig small intestines there were. Pork is easy to buy, but pig small intestine is not easy to make. Some people sell pork and throw them away when they kill the pigs, but some sell pork and small intestines. They usually buy them back to feed cats and dogs.
If you want to buy more, you have to greet the pork seller in advance. Yang Tiegen thought to himself.
Lin Qingwan thought about it, and said to buy 50 catties of pork, the more the small intestine, the better. She also knows that this thing is not easy to get, anyway it is not worth more to get some soaked in water, anyway, it will not be bad in cold weather.
Yang Tiegen was a little surprised when he heard that he wanted to buy 50 kilograms of pork. Although Ersao did sell 10 kilograms of pork, he was not afraid to buy so much that it would be crushed?
Lin Qingwan looked at the hesitant expression on Yang Tiegen's face and knew what he was thinking about, so she explained to him what she planned.
After listening to Yang Tiegen, he thought it made sense, but this was a lot of money
Now the average price of pork is about 12 cents a catty, and 50 catties is half the silver. What should I do if I hit it in my hand.
Yang Tiegen was simple and honest by nature, his mouth was dumb and could not speak, but he was secretly worried in his heart. In addition, the second brother and sister-in-law treated their family well, and he remembered it all in his heart. Although his mouth was stupid, he stumbled to express his worries.
Lin Qingwan smiled and comforted him and said that it was okay. You have to take a gamble on everything you do. Even if it's really hard to sell, you won't lose money if you eat it yourself.
Seeing that Yang Tiegen couldn't persuade, he didn't say anything.
After the three of them finished eating the noodles, Lin Qingwan paid for the noodles. He handed Yang Tiegen the pack of copper coins that shopkeeper Li gave her, and after thinking about it, he added another piece of silver. That piece of shredded silver is about half a tael, so the money for buying pork is enough.
After Yang Tiegen took over, Lin Qingwan was ready to leave. The Yao family once again explained to him that his man should not be too tired, and the two would leave.
As soon as he took a step, Lin Qingwan remembered something and then went back to explain to Yang Tiegen that he should not send the pork back home to his aunt Yang.
Yang Tiegen thought for a while and understood what the second wife meant. The 50 catties of pork sent home is indeed very eye-catching. Although the two rooms have been separated from the family, it is better to avoid the temperament of his mother He and his sister-in-law Wang.
Lin Qingwan took Yao's to the hospital where Yang Tiezhu saw a doctor, and bought some herbs for thirteen incense. Yao thought she was grabbing medicine for Yang Tiezhu, but didn't think about anything else.
The two returned to Luoxia Village in an ox cart. Lin Qingwan went to Yang's and told her that Yang Tiegen would bring some pork to her and asked Yang to help her collect it, and then explained some of the reasons to Yang's.
After leaving the gate of the Yang family, the two walked towards the house.
When I walked in, I found that someone was coming at home. A middle-aged woman who looked like a matchmaker was talking to He and walking towards the main room.
Lin Qingwan glanced at the woman's back, a little puzzled.
Yao's whispered beside him, "That's the horse matchmaker."
Lin Qingwan said, the two entered the second house door.
Matchmaker? Does anyone in the Yang family have a happy event? Yang Xuezhang or Yang Ermei? Both seem to be of marriageable age.
Pushing open the door, I saw Yang Tiezhu sitting with his head leaning on the kang, and two chicks sitting on the kang corner turning the flower ropes.
Yang Tiezhu's eyes brightened as soon as Lin Qingwan came back, and a series of words followed.
"Is my wife tired? Is there anything uncomfortable? Have you eaten at noon?..."
Lin Qingwan interrupted the rest of the words with a smile, "Well, I am not tired, and there is nothing uncomfortable. I have noodles with my third brother and sister at noon. How about you? Have you eaten yet?"
When Lin Qingwan left in the morning, she put the pre-prepared meals in pots and put them in the pot on the stove to warm them, just because she was afraid that she would not be able to return at noon, and one adult and two children would have no food to eat.
Yang Tiezhu smiled, "I have eaten too," he asked, "You went with your third sibling to find your third brother? Why didn't you say that you will wait until your third brother comes back at night."
Lin Qingwan's expression dried up, she could say that she was too excited at the time and never expected Yang Tiegen to be back these few nights. Giving Yang Tiezhu a smile was considered a response. Lin Qingwan took off the thick cotton-padded clothes she was wearing outside and took off the headkerchief. Yao said that she went back to the house and went back to pack herself.
Lin Qingwan slapped the dust on her body with her headkerchief, while telling Yang Tiezhu about her'achievement' today. After Yang Tiezhu listened, he gave her a good meal.
Lin Qingwan glared at him, untied her hair, combed it again, and pulled another updo. Intermittently, she told Yang Tiegen to buy pork to make sausages.
Yang Tiezhu didn't say anything after listening, he believed his wife. His daughter-in-law is smart, capable, beautiful and gentle.
Fearing that Lin Qingwan would be burdened, he also comforted her by saying, "Daughter-in-law, it’s nothing, even if it can’t be sold, we can put it at home. And you see..." He gave an example to explain, "Our pork is You bought 12 jin a catty, and sold 60 jin a catty, and 10 jin sold 600 wen. You bought 50 catties of pork for only 600 wen, so it costs no money at all.
Lin Qingwan gave him a smile and understood what he meant. Knowing that he was afraid that she was worried that she would lose money, she was actually confused by the vague theory that she would not lose money.
Where did the 10 kilograms of capital come from before?
But she didn't speak out, since her own man wanted her to relieve her burden. Regardless of whether she has a burden in her heart or not, she decides to bear it sweetly.
"Well, I was still a little worried about losing money, but when you say that, I'm not worried at all."
The way the husband and wife get along is to bear each other. It’s not good for a woman to be too smart. Sometimes she has to pretend to be stupid to satisfy the man’s mentality of being a big man.
What's more, since her man was injured, it seems that she has always felt that she is dragging her down. Although Yang Tiezhu didn't say anything, Lin Qingwan could see it. Especially every time she went to lift water to do some heavy work, he couldn't wait to jump up to help her. If she didn't force him to heal his injuries in bed, he would have been unable to sit still.
This is also the reason why Lin Qingwan didn't lend money to the Sanfang couple. In fact, she could lend the money to Sanfang so that they could tide over this difficulty. But every time she saw her man look guilty when she was busy alone, Lin Qingwan was silent again. When the two families ate together, Yao's person would always help her with some work, so that Yang Tiezhu would feel better in his heart.
Sure enough, when Lin Qingwan said something, Yang Tiezhu's smile turned into a flower.
Pulling the hand of her daughter-in-law, Lin Qingwan glared at him, and then looked at the two girls who were turning the flower rope at the corner of the kang.
Yang Tiezhu showed a face of enlightenment, and he let it go without letting it go. Lin Qingwan pulled her hand back and smiled sweetly at him, and then went on the Kang to tease the two chicks.
After a while, Yao came over, holding his needlework basket in his hand.
Two women and two little babies were sitting on the corner of the kang and talking, and Lin Qingwan liked to tease children. Make the two Niuniu laugh together, and then she laughs together.
Yao Shi talked about her on the side and asked her to pay attention to her body. When Lin Qingwan first started, she always thought that she was pregnant, but since she became pregnant, she has not been nauseous or uncomfortable. Sometimes she always forgets that she is pregnant.
Fearing that she would be uncomfortable, Yao took the quilt from the kang corner cabinet and spread it on the kang, and gave her a pillow made by Lin Qingwan herself, and let Lin Qingwan sit in the quilt.
Lin Qingwan had no choice but to lie down in the quilt honestly, and sat there comfortably with a pillow behind her.
