Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

At this time, a small stream meandered about two meters away from the three people.

The stream water is clear. Standing in Li Yu's position, you can clearly see the stones and water plants under the stream.

Li Yu liked this kind of stream when she was in modern times, so she immediately walked over to admire it. She originally just wanted to stand here and watch for a while, but when she lowered her head, she found something new and immediately bent down to pick it up.

It was a small snail, and because the stream water was clean, there wasn't much dirt on the shell.

Next to her, Han Xiaomei saw the snails and immediately said, "Sister-in-law, these snails are not delicious."

Villagers basically don't eat snails because the meat is hard and muddy. Only when they are really short of money at home will they take some home and cook them.

Li Yu curled his lips, "Do you believe that I can make it delicious?"

Han Xiaomei's eyes widened slowly. She didn't believe what others said, but she believed what her second sister-in-law said!

Li Yu pointed at the stream and said, "Let's touch the water for a while. I'll make snails for you in a couple of days."

Han Xiaomei couldn't help but look forward to the taste of snails, and immediately walked to the stream to touch them.

Aunt Wu listened to their conversation and asked, "Xiu Wen, can you really make good snails?" She had made snails many times, but none of them were delicious. Every time she made snails, she sacrificed the chickens and ducks at home.

Li Yu didn't say anything definitive, after all, people's tastes vary greatly, so he just said, "It's about the same. I know a way. It should be tasty when it's done. I'll send you a bowl to try after it's done in a few days."

"Then I have to get some snails." Aunt Wu bent down with a smile.

The water was cold in autumn, so few people went into the water. They just stood on the shore and felt around. Fortunately, since the villagers didn't eat this thing, there were many snails on the shore.

After searching for half an hour, a small pile was placed on the open ground. Li Yu found some large leaves to wrap them and put them in the basket.

After traveling here, she didn't see anyone selling fried snails in the town, so this was another good business.

Li Yu thought about it, put on the basket, and went to other places with Aunt Wu.

The people of Qingshui Village live off the mountain. Apart from the wild vegetables that can be seen everywhere, any good things on the mountain will generally be taken away by someone within five days. So even though there are many species on the mountain, Li Yu's harvest is limited. When she finished walking around the mountain outside the village, she only picked a handful of wild vegetables, a few handfuls of wild dates and a few wild persimmons.

"If we go into the mountains, we should be able to get something good, but there are too many snakes and insects in the mountains, it's too dangerous." Aunt Wu looked at the dense forest and said. In the past, someone didn't believe in evil and ran into the mountains, but he didn't come out. His family only found pieces of his clothes and shoes on the outskirts of the mountain.

Li Yu followed her gaze, but the tall trees blocked his view, so he couldn't see what was going on inside Qingyun Mountain. He could only hear the clear chirping of birds coming from inside.

I really want to see what's inside, but considering her situation, I decided not to take the risk.

Retracting his gaze, Li Yu called Aunt Wu and Han Xiaomei to continue walking down.

When they were almost at the bottom of the mountain, they suddenly heard a groaning sound. Following the sound, they saw a dog lying in the grass by the roadside.

The dog was about two months old, skinny and dirty. When it saw someone coming, it whimpered as if asking for help.

Aunt Wu exclaimed, "Whose dog is this? Why is it thrown here?"

Li Yu took a few steps forward and discovered that the dog's right hind leg was drooping, and it was clearly broken.

Aunt Wu realized this belatedly and said with regret, "It must have been raised by someone, and because the broken leg was difficult to heal, they threw it away."

Villagers keep dogs for guarding the house. It is obviously not cost-effective to keep a skinny puppy with a broken leg. So after living in the village for a long time, you can see many people abandoning their dogs.

In fact, it is better to throw it away. Some families will kill the dog and eat its meat when they find that the dog is useless.

Li Yu also knew this, so without saying much, he took out a few large leaves from the bamboo basket and wrapped the dog with the leaves.

"I would like to raise a dog. This is a great opportunity. I don't have to look for someone to buy one for me." Li Yu said to Aunt Wu with a smile.

Aunt Wu nodded continuously, "Very good."

Because the dog's condition looked bad, Li Yu said goodbye to Aunt Wu and quickened his pace toward home, while Han Xiaomei followed, half running and half walking.

As soon as Han Zheng got home, he found that things were different from usual. The yard was quiet, and there was no familiar smell of meat in the air. His heart skipped a beat, and he strode to the main room.

When he saw Li Yu and Han Xiaomei, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Yugang had just used a wooden stick to fix the puppy's legs. The puppy's condition was better than she had imagined. Apart from a broken leg, it had no other injuries.

Hearing Han Zheng's panting, Li Yu raised his head, a little surprised, "Is it already this time?"

"School ended fifteen minutes early today." Han Zheng put down his bag and walked over to look at the puppy. "Where did this come from?"

"My second sister-in-law and I picked it up in the mountains." Han Xiaomei interrupted.

"It's good. It can look after the house when it grows up." Han Zheng reached out and touched the dog. "Do you have a doghouse for it?"

Han Xiaomei cried out, "I forgot!"

After saying that, she quickly jumped up and went to find something to make a nest for the dog.

Li Yu smiled at her busy back, and then asked Han Zheng about today's homework: "It's been a few days since you went to school. Can you keep up with the teacher's progress? How is your relationship with your classmates? Has anyone bullied you?"

It wasn't that Li Yu was worried, but she had to think about it. School bullying existed in every era, and Han Zheng was young, so she couldn't let him encounter any bad things.

Han Zheng could hear his deep concern, so he withdrew his hand and said seriously, "The teacher's lectures are profound and simple, and I can understand them all. My classmates are all good too, and they all take good care of me."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Li Yu felt relieved and told him that she planned not to set up the stall tomorrow.

Han Zheng was eager for her to have a good rest, so he naturally didn't say anything.

*

Although he didn't set up the stall, Li Yu still got up early the next day. After breakfast, he went to town with Han Zheng.

I still have to set up the stall tomorrow, so I have to buy the necessary ingredients as soon as possible.

Li Yu first went to a few familiar stalls to buy offal and meat, and then went to the spice store to buy seasonings.

Li Yu bought the same seasonings in every store. In the past few times, the store owners had treated her the same way. But today, when she went to the first store to buy them, Li Yu keenly discovered that something was wrong with the owner.

He seemed to be remembering which spices she had bought.

The same thing happened at the second store. The owner's attitude was still attentive, but every time she mentioned a seasoning, the owner repeated it three times, looking like he was trying hard to remember.

Li Yu pursed her lips, and when she entered the third and fourth stores, she asked for two and three more new seasonings than usual. One of them was absolutely not to be used when making braised meat, as it would change the taste of the meat and make it difficult to swallow.

After leaving the fourth store, Li Yu pushed the cart to a nearby alley, resting while staring at the door of the fourth seasoning store. She wanted to see who wanted to get her braised pork recipe.
