Farming with Taobao - C63
Chapter 63 Nameless Dining Hall (13)
The two siblings parted ways on the Mausoleum of Books. Black Bean went to inform the several residences of the Jade Water Lane while Li Yannian went to the cloth shop. This time, the shopkeeper, who she wasn’t acquainted with, gave a low price. Li Yannian bought four sets of silk and cloth and almost five taels of silver in an instant. If this was converted into silver, it would only be worth seven or eight hundred yuan, but if it was converted into gold, it would be more than eight thousand yuan!
Li Yannian was truly reluctant to use silver. If only she could buy clothes from the system. The light bulb in her head suddenly lit up. That’s right, why didn’t she think of it? Taobao clearly had imitated ancient clothing on it, but the quality was uneven so it wasn’t easy to choose.
He wondered if the system would release the time limit on the buyer’s credit after it reached 3-star. Although he could buy an unlimited number of transactions every month, a one minute limited time search was still very hard to bear.
In theory, Li Yannian could search for the same key word countless of times. If she didn’t find the perfect item within this minute, when she opened the system to search again, the screening page would be different, even if it was sorted according to sales, credits, and prices, it would still be the same. In this minute, what Li Yannian found were completely different items.
However, he didn’t know how the system would change when the buyer’s credit rose to 3-star. Li Yannian remembered that she had bought a lot this month. The buyer’s credit card seemed to have accumulated to thirty-five or thirty-seven points. It was just that she didn’t know how much credit a Samsung buyer would need. If it was 40 points, she just needed to buy a few more items this month.
She had been waiting for Xu Zijun to come in for the pepper when she saw that she still had over three thousand dollars left in her system account. It just so happened that they could buy some bed products. An old cotton sheet was only worth forty to fifty yuan, while the usual brand of summer blanket was only sixty to seventy yuan. It wouldn’t take much for the family of four to change into it.
Li Yannian kept thinking about what else she needed to buy at home, and didn’t even hear Black Bean call her from the back. In the end, a grandma beside her reminded her, and Li Yannian turned to see Black Bean chasing after her.
She scratched the back of her head in embarrassment: “Bro, you already said it, right? I’ve got my stuff, let’s go home. Aunt Zhang’s Xiao Bao is going to school today, right? I think that in the future, she would have to stay in the shop and not return with us to the village. Fortunately, when we were taking care of the shop, I allowed Little Uncle to sleep a few more rooms away. ”
Black Bean shot a glance at her, and did not let her change the subject, “What are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed in your thoughts, I called out to you a few times, yet you didn’t react at all.”
Li Yannian laughed: “Didn’t First Uncle say it? Let me stay at home and raise the chickens, I will think about how to make the yard here, raising it when it’s free, afraid that I might ruin the place and not be able to grow the vegetables, close the cages and raise them, then later we will have to ask someone to buy a chicken coop. Over fifty chickens, no matter how many cages it takes, it’s impossible to make a bed for them. ”
Li Yannian did not tell the truth, but with regards to raising chickens, it was indeed because of a moment of excitement, and only after careful consideration did she realize that it was a huge pit. Putting everything aside, just the arena alone was enough to give her a headache. Chicken is a rectum animal, walking and pulling, daily timely cleaning of chicken shit is a very cumbersome task. Then there was the steamed rice, bran, and cut vegetables to mix the chicken food. It took a lot of effort and strength.
Thinking about it this way, Li Yannian was really courting death, digging a huge pit with herself.
Black Bean laughed: “He really is a child. For such a small matter, he is already in a difficult position. One side is covered with dirt, while the other side is surrounded by fences. When the time comes, the young chicken will be placed inside with wood chaff and sand, and there will be a place to walk around, and the soil will be swept out and pile up in the pit at the back of our house. Every other day or two, new wood chaff and sand will be poured in, and as long as you and Dou Dou clean well, the house will not stink of chicken poop. ”
Li Yannian couldn’t help but clap her hands happily: “Brother, you’re really smart, you thought too well. But bro, aren’t we going to drive the chickens out and raise them? I see that the villagers keeps the chickens outside and is walking around. ”
However, Black Bean shook his head. “That’s because the people here are too few, and we’re all from the same village, so we all know who raised that chicken. Our family is different, you and Mao Dou are two big kids, in our family only I can barely be considered a laborer, villagers wouldn’t take us seriously. With so many chickens out there, without meat for the first couple of months, people wouldn’t even think about our chickens. But at the end, everyone had their reasons for stealing. You kept so many of them, and they were all from the same village. So what if they ate one or two of you? “Er Niu, don’t forget, there are still two families in our family who are worried. They were forced to pay, so we didn’t cause any trouble. Who knows, they might be waiting at the back holding back their bad intentions.”
“This chicken is not worth much, but you have worked so hard to raise it. If someone were to steal it and eat it, would you be willing?” I just wanted to save some trouble, so that would save me some trouble. Speaking of which, it’s definitely to spare effort to feed the chicken, but I don’t want you to suffer. “So second girl, listen to brother. You and Dou Dou, be more diligent. You sweep both sides of the ground more every day and clean up the chicken coop. If it stinks later, you’re not allowed to raise it.”
Li Yannian never thought that Black Bean’s thoughts were so meticulous that she even predicted that Li Qingshan and Li Junshan would have some sort of plan. She nodded and replied, “Okay, then let’s take advantage of tomorrow’s free time and go to the mountain to chop bamboo and build a fence. But Bro, where are we going to get the wood chaff? ”
Black Bean smiled and patted her head: “Have you forgotten about Master Tong? We made a whole set of furniture at his place.
Li Yannian really forgot that as she stuck her tongue out in embarrassment.
“When I went to notify those families, I went to Master Tong and told her about it. I said I would give money to buy it, but Master Tong refused to accept it no matter what. She said it was just a little bit of wood shavings, not like shavings and other people who would take it to ignite a fire. When I need it, he’ll go and collect it himself. At that time, he’ll help us save it. ”
Li Yannian looked at the big brother in front of him who was brimming with confidence. In these short few months, he had truly changed a lot. Many things, were not things that he had to drag along these two brothers and rush forward all at once. It was Black Bean, the big bro, who silently walked in front of him and assumed the responsibility of deciding the outcome.
Black Bean felt that Li Yannian was looking at him differently, and turned his head and laughed: “What’s wrong, could it be that flowers are blooming on my face today?”
Li Yannian shyly shook her head: “Brother, I feel that you really are the best brother in the world.”
Black Bean smiled and did not say anything, but he let out a soft sigh in the bottom of his heart. If not for you, the best sister in the world, how could we be where we are today?
The two siblings chatted and laughed as they returned home. When Mao Dou heard the door open, he ran out to pick them up.
“Big brother, big sis, you two came back.” “Why is it so late today? I thought you guys were delayed by something on your way here and wanted to come pick you guys up,” Mao Dou took the thing in Li Yannian’s hands sensibly, pouting as he complained.
Li Yannian poked his baby’s fat cheek, “The shop is busy today, let’s not talk about this. The words you practiced today, show us and let us see if you were lazy today when you were at home.”
Mao Dou puffed out his chest. “Sis, you always say that back then. When have I ever been lazy? “Just you wait, I’ll show you what I’ve practiced today.”
As he spoke, he ran back to his room on the second floor. After a short while, he came back down with seven or eight pieces of paper under his arm.
Li Yannian carefully examined his younger brother’s homework, and gave him a white rabbit candy as a reward. She did not forget to remind him, “Brush your teeth if you want to eat the candy, otherwise if you give the insect the teeth, you won’t be able to cry.”
Mao Dou used the tip of his tongue to lick the sweet milk candy before impatiently pushing her away. “Sis, you’re getting more and more long-winded. If it’s the same, then say it every day.”
Li Yannian curled her lips, “Do you think I would be willing? Who said that their teeth would hurt after eating the candy last time? “I forgot to tell you the same thing. You forgot about brushing your teeth. I’m about to become your mother at such a young age, and it was you who forced me to do that.”
It was obviously because he was worried about her … Mao Dou was about to retort, but Li Yannian frowned and asked: “Eh, where’s Xu Zi? How come you didn’t see him with you? ”
Mao Dou didn’t mind. He casually said, “Brother Xu always likes to stay in the yard. I’ve covered him with a blanket and can’t freeze him. “But Sis, Brother Xu Zi’s appetite hasn’t been good recently, so he hasn’t eaten much for lunch and lunch.”
When Zhao Xu, who was sitting in the courtyard, heard Mao Dou’s words, as no one saw it, he rolled his eyes. Child, that is because the food you cook is really too unpleasant.
During the first few days of the restaurant’s opening, Li Family still remembered to leave the two of them some easy to cook food. For example, that strange shell that could be eaten after a single incense of time in the steamer, the garlic scallop that Li Yannian bought fresh from the cat, the fish soup that could already be eaten after she put the soup and cut fish meat in the pot for cooking, and the frozen vegetable buns that were cooked after the time it took for just one incense stick to burn, also came from the Tmall’s frozen fresh mushroom package.
But he didn’t know how Mao Dou guaranteed the Li Family’s girl that Zhao Xu’s happy days would only last for a short five days. After that, he cooked and cooked his own dishes for lunch. To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that Mao Dou Man was not as tall as the stove, and had painstakingly stepped on a rock to cook, Zhao Xu really wouldn’t want to eat all of it.
Li Yannian obviously thought of the crux of the problem, and laughed as she pinched Mao Dou’s face, “It must be because the dishes you stir-fried are too horrible to eat. “I already said, I’ll leave something for you guys to eat at noon. As long as you heat it up, it’ll be edible. You must cook it yourself. Look, I’ve starved you, Brother Xu.”
Mao Dou pouted in dissatisfaction. “Bullsh * t, the food I made is not bad at all. It’s obviously Brother Xu Zi who has such a big mouth, yet he’s still greedy. How shameful.”
Li Yannian looked at him in surprise and teased, “You even said that other people talk too much. Didn’t you all go back to clean up the leftovers from eating at noon? ”
Speaking of which, Li Yannian felt that Black Bean had become more conscious of himself. In the past, no one at home had wanted to eat chicken butts, ducks’ necks, or leftovers from the previous meal, all of which were taken care of by her father.
Perhaps the man at the top of the family tree was very quiet and didn’t know how to speak beautiful words, but he would always be the one who paid the most silently for his family.
Mao Dou’s final layer of covering cloth was ripped off, tenderly wanting to cover Li Yannian’s mouth to not let her say anymore. Li Yannian laughed and dodged, then used her finger to rub her face and laughed at his younger brother: “Shame on you, if you can’t describe it, then you have to make a move.”
Mao Dou decisively decided to turn around and look for help. He grabbed Black Bean’s sleeves and complained, “Big bro, you manage big sis, big sis bullied me again.”
“Aiya, and you’re the one complaining first. When have I bullied you before?”
“Just now. Bro, tell me, how are you going to be an older sister? You don’t even know how to show mercy to your younger brother.”
“You still have the nerve to say that? Come over here, big sis will love you,” Li Yannian said, pretending to fist as he walked towards Mao Dou, but Mao Dou was so frightened that he hid behind Black Bean.
“Bro, look at Sis, she’s bullying me again.”
Black Bean’s head hurt from the two quarrels, he grabbed one of them and said, “Alright, alright, alright, stop messing around, hurry up and make a fire to make dinner. Dou Dou, you go and look at your Brother Xu in the courtyard. “Hurry up and get them in. We’ll have dinner soon.”
Black Bean and Li Yannian looked at each other and smiled.
