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

Li Yu wanted to make snacks related to outing.

You know, in the Dayu Dynasty, outing was a national spring activity.

The powerful families in the prefectures and the capital often go out together in spring, taking boat trips, appreciating flowers, or discussing poetry and painting. All these activities show their elegant tastes.

The people of Huangmei Town naturally could not learn from the nobles, but the poor had their own ways. They could not afford to take a boat ride, they did not have expensive flowers, they were illiterate and did not have paintings and calligraphy by famous artists, so everyone just looked for things that interested them.

For example, taking kite flying, there is a sloping land on the east side of Huangmei Town. Every spring, people in the town, especially young men and women, go there to fly kites.

Another example is mountain climbing. After the spring begins, people in Qingshui Village will climb Qingyun Mountain and pick some wild vegetables to take home.

There are also some scholars who would take advantage of the clear spring weather and bring a few good friends to a quiet place to write poems and comment on each other.

It can be said that in the Dayu Dynasty, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, everyone liked to go outing.

In this case, if she could launch outing snacks, the sales should not be too bad.

Li Yu is a person who does not procrastinate. He had an idea in the morning and had a preliminary plan by noon.

She planned to make simple rice cakes first, but these rice cakes were different from ordinary rice cakes. They had shapes and colors.

Everyone likes kites, so we make kite-shaped ones. We also have flower-shaped ones, especially peach-shaped ones. In addition, we can also make some bird-shaped ones for children's enjoyment.

Li Yu drew everything she wanted. Thanks to modern handicrafts, her drawing skills were pretty good and she could draw some simple patterns easily.

After lunch, she took the painting to a carpenter to make a template for the snacks.

To facilitate dissemination, there is a word "Li" in the lower right corner of each painting.

The carpenter felt that it was difficult to carve the word "Li", so Li Yu simply gave him ten more cents. This time the carpenter said nothing and only said he would come back to pick it up in three days.

After doing all this, Li Yu bought some colorful vegetables and sugar to go home. Nowadays, all pigments are natural, and the pigments are obtained by repeatedly grinding colored minerals. Because minerals are not easy to obtain and grind, pigments are particularly expensive.

Li Yu couldn't afford this natural pigment, and mineral pigments were not suitable for use in snacks, so she decided to use vegetable juice as pigment.

At home, Han Zheng was writing an article, while Han Xiaomei and Qi Yue were lying together writing.

Han Xiaomei started learning from Han Zheng last September and now recognizes more than 200 characters and can read simple books by herself. Qi Yue learned from her teacher at home and can also write well.

When Li Yu got home, he first checked on Han Zheng's condition. Seeing that his fever was not so severe, he felt relieved to do other things.

First, take out a large bowl of rice and soak it. To make rice cakes, the rice must be ground into paste, so soaking the rice is essential.

Then she closed the door and went to see the new house. The beams of the new house had been put up the day before yesterday, and the tiles would be put up the day after tomorrow, so she had to pay more attention to it.

I met Han's mother on the way and they talked for a few words.

Han's mother said, "You didn't see Yang Qiuyue crying in the ancestral hall today. She refused to let the Han family elders expel her family from the family tree."

Li Yu asked, "Did the elders agree to their request?"

Mother Han waved her hands: "No, she made such a big mistake, it's good enough that she is not expelled from the village."

"She has brought this upon herself."

"Indeed. By the way, I also heard about the excitement in Yangjia Village. Yesterday, Yang Qiushan shouted around in the village about what her mother and Yang Qiuyue had done. The villagers of Yangjia Village were so angry that several people ran to the Yang family's fields in the middle of the night and pulled up all the vegetables they had planted. Today, Yang Qiushan's mother found out something was wrong and made a fuss for a while, but no one paid any attention to her. Yang Qiushan's wife couldn't stand her in-laws' behavior, so she took the child back to her parents' home."

Li Yu: "Just wait and see, their family will be even more miserable next."

Yangjia Village is different from their Qingshui Village. Most of the people living there are surnamed Yang. Yang Qiushan's family now has a bad reputation, which affects the entire clan and even the entire village. If it is not handled properly, all the young men in their village will be implicated and it will be difficult for them to get married in the future.

Therefore, in order to preserve their reputation, the people of Yangjia Village will definitely sacrifice their own relatives for the sake of justice.

After talking to Han's mother, Li Yu continued walking towards the new house.

The new house is being built quickly. The main house still has some tiles left to go, the basic kitchen shelves have been put up, and the walls are being built.

At the normal pace, they will be able to move into their new house in less than half a month.

After looking the house over and over twice, Li Yu nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Uncle Wu came over and said, "It seems that the younger Pei Ming left early."

He didn't notice it at first, but when he was moving bricks just now, he realized that Pei Ming had disappeared.

Li Yu didn't take it too seriously. Pei Ming was a good guy. He must have had an emergency at home, so he had to leave.

On the way back, Li Yu was thinking about the dim sum business when he suddenly heard crying coming from the woods on the right side of the road.

Li Yu thought the voice was familiar. She walked over and saw Pei Ming sitting against a tree with tears in his eyes.

When he noticed her coming, Pei Ming's eyes became even more sad.

Li Yu paused, pushed aside the branches, walked over to him and asked, "Why are you crying?"

"Boss Li." Pei Ming said hoarsely, "I'm going to die."

Li Yu was shocked: "What's going on? Do you want me to take you to see a doctor?"

Pei Ming shook his head: "It's no use. I'm very ill. Boss Li, I'm the only child of my parents. What will they do if I'm gone?"

He sobbed, and Li Yu felt uncomfortable listening to him. She said, "Tell me what's wrong with you first. Maybe I can help you."

Pei Ming looked at her for a while, then stood up and turned around.

"I don't know what happened. I suddenly had abdominal pain while moving bricks today, and then blood appeared on my clothes. Boss Li, is there any cure for my disease? I don't want to die."

Li Yu understood everything.

Pei Ming was actually a girl. No wonder she felt that Pei Ming's voice was a little thin, unlike other teenage boys whose voices were rough and hoarse.

She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and held Pei Ming's hand and said, "You have your period, which is a normal phenomenon for every woman. You won't die. The bleeding will only last for a few days and will stop in a few days. But there are some things you need to pay attention to. Don't be too tired these few days, and don't touch cold water."

Pei Ming was confused. "Boss Li, what are you talking about?"

Li Yu: "... Follow me to my house to change clothes first. As for the rest, we can talk about it when we have time."

"By the way, what's your real name? It shouldn't be Pei Ming."

Pei Ming finally realized what she had just overlooked. Her identity was exposed.
