After eating and drinking enough, the little ones who got up early felt sleepy. Xia Xinghe burned the kang, and Xia Jiuyue tidied up the messy room of Lao An's family.
Xia Qiyue looked excited. Finally, her sister could live in her own room. This way, she could enter the space once or twice more.
During the Chinese New Year, the small courtyard is the most deserted time. There are only six members of their family left, but the three little ones have already gone to bed. The younger brothers and sisters are also working, saying that they have to eat too much and not work.
.
Xia Qiyue put three live chickens in the backyard. There was no room for them, so they had to be kept in the backyard.
The two chickens that Liu Mei picked up yesterday have been made into spicy chicken and yam stewed chicken.
You can buy all the vegetables in the space, so the New Year’s Eve dinner she made consisted of chicken and beef in the space.
However, the beef filling dumplings were still delicious and the whole family ate too much.
The younger brothers and sisters were able to do the job. In less than half a day, the yard was cleaned up inside and out, and the cows and horses were fed and watered.
I originally wanted to take them out for a walk in July, but who would have thought that there would be no movement on the streets during the Chinese New Year.
Unlike in his previous life, the Chinese New Year was so lively. The original owner also lived in the village and had no idea what it was like to celebrate the Chinese New Year in the city.
In the end, the family could only stay at home, living a life of eating, sleeping, and eating.
After two days of this, on the night of the second grade of junior high school, Xia Qiyue finally couldn't hold it back and extended his claws like a paid lottery.
When she has money in her hand, she can't help but go to the lottery. This has almost become a habit.
One thousand and two times, the first time he was drawn, he won the feed machine, and the second time, he was drawn the flour grinder. Xia Qiyue was unwilling to accept it, so he drew it again, and finally the pig house was drawn.
Finally, I got my wish to raise a pig. A piglet costs 500 gold coins. However, if I sell it to a space, a full pig will cost 2,000 gold coins.
It can grow to 200 to 300 pounds in 48 hours in the space. If it is taken outside, it will be normal.
Although she had a pigsty, it still cost her three thousand taels of silver, leaving her with just over a thousand taels left.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, brothers An Youde, An Zihao, An Liang, Anton Ancheng and An Sijin all came over.
We came here early in the morning, but luckily the Xia Qiyue sisters were prepared. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, they made dumplings stuffed with pork and cabbage, froze them, and steamed the dumplings for six people to eat.
The past few days were not as relaxed and deserted as the two days just after the Chinese New Year. People who knew her home address came over and said they wanted to buy candies.
Come one summer and answer one correctly in July. We agreed to start on the sixth day of the lunar month and ask them to come over on the eighth day of the lunar month.
Although she had the secret recipe for handmade fruit candies, she had no intention of starting it now. She planned to do this first, and then start renting a house and opening a shop after the house in Baijia Village was built.
The six people got to work as soon as they came over. An Youde and An Cheng were already good at making sweets. Xia Qiyue Xiaoxiao was only responsible for making soup, and the two of them did the rest.
But today, An Zihao is also making candies, because there will definitely be more people buying on the first day of the shutdown, so Xia Qiyue plans to make an exception on the first day and sell more.
In the future, she will still have to sell them in rationed quantities. Each type of candy will be sold for 50 jins, which means she can sell 100 jins in two days. This way, her monthly income will be 4,500 taels, which is enough for her to squander money.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, maltose was delivered on time, and firewood was also delivered. In July, Xia only had to go out to buy fried peanuts.
The most troublesome thing about making candy now is not the candy itself, but peeling the peanuts, which is very time-consuming and makes your hands hurt.
Now there are three people making candies, and only four people are left to peel peanuts. There is a reason why the candies are sold in limited quantities, and sometimes the peanuts are not rushed.
Because both types of sugar require peanuts.
On her way back from buying peanuts in July, Xia Qiyue suddenly remembered that the halva she had eaten in her previous life had other fillings, such as white sesame and black sesame...
But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find two kinds of sesame seeds, so she had to go back home first. She also had to work, otherwise there would be not enough manpower.
It's not that she hasn't thought about finding a few more people to come and do the work, but she can't do it now. It's because there are no suitable candidates. She also thinks that if it doesn't work, she can just buy a few servants to do the work.
The matter was shelved just like that.
Only one hundred kilograms of candy were sold in two days. Although not many people knew the address, these were not just eaten by the few people who knew the address. They were also given to other people above as gifts and bought for them, so there was not enough to sell. Every day
Some people complained that there were not enough sales.
However, Xia Qiyue unexpectedly discovered that the more than 20 familiar faces who came to buy candy were still the same, and there were no more unfamiliar faces.
When you think about it, you will understand. Who would want to tell others about this method?
But it's okay, she can save herself from making a fuss. In this way, there will be fewer people coming to buy candies from her. With fewer people, there will not be less to buy. She buys a lot every day and rushes to buy them.
The business of halva and nougat started smoothly in this way. Everyone was familiar with the work they were doing. Xia Qiyue no longer had to worry about those things every day. She only had to buy the peanuts.
The others knew what to do, and An Zihao had already followed An Youde and An Cheng to make sweets together, so there was no need for Xia Qiyue over there.
On the fourteenth day of the lunar month, Xia Qiyue drove out alone. Within an hour, a pig came back with a pig behind it.
It looked like it weighed about 200 to 300 kilograms. Xia Qiyue just tied the rope over his head and tied the other end of the rope to the back of the carriage and dragged it all the way back.
The big pig, weighing two to three hundred pounds, had just come out of the space. It was not obedient at all and was being dragged along while grunting.
Finally arriving at the door of her house, she quickly shouted a few times and all the people working inside ran out.
"What's wrong with the fourth sister-in-law?" An Youde ran at the front, wearing the fingerless gloves she designed. She was obviously making sweets. Today was not a day to sell sweets, so there was no one else in the courtyard.
Xia Qiyue waved, "Hurry up and get this pig in. He almost ran away while trying to escape!"
As soon as she said this, everyone noticed the big fat pig helping behind the carriage, and they all ran up without caring about the others.
Only An Youde carefully took off his gloves and put them in his belt before running up.
This was sewn by Jiu Jiu himself. He didn't want to get it dirty, and when making candy, his gloves couldn't get dirty.
It took seven people a lot of effort to get the big fat pig to the backyard.
There are three cows and a horse in the backyard. It is impossible to raise another pig, but fortunately, they are not raised in summer and July.
She has been craving for pork in the space for a long time. Ever since she had a pig house and raised pigs, she has been craving for it. Seeing that the five big fat pigs can be killed and eaten, she has been looking for opportunities. Now she can
It's a chance.
"Fourth sister-in-law, what did you do with this pig?" An Zihao didn't use much strength. Because his leg injury was still in the recovery stage, he didn't follow him into the backyard, so he was next to the carriage and asked Xia Qiyue
