Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The two men each ordered a small bowl of wontons. Since they were taking up other people's space, they would have to spend money.

The small wontons, which cost three cents a bowl, were finished in just two bites.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked towards the clinic. "If you have any news, you must go to the Malatang shop to find Brother Wei Zhong. The people you meet at the clinic are still more than those you meet at the Malatang shop, and their status is definitely higher. After all, you have to come in person to see a doctor. If you want to eat Malatang, the ladies and masters can ask the servants to buy it for you."

"Okay, I understand. I will pay more attention next time. I usually just focus on my work, and when I have nothing to do next time, I will try to chat with the guests more."

"Don't be so deliberate. Don't let it interfere with your work."

Huang Jun came out with a yellow paper medicine bag: "Aunt Qi should know how to boil Chinese medicine, so I won't tell you more. Anyway, there are only a few steps. I'm too busy right now, I'll go help first, you should leave quickly too, it's going to be dark soon."

"Okay, Jun brother, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you next time."

When Liu Hao walked to the Malatang shop, they were all sitting inside to rest, and there were no customers at this time.

Lin Weizhong saw Liu Hao coming in and greeted him, "Haozi is here, are you hungry? Do you want me to cook you a bowl of spicy hot pot?"

"Brother Weizhong, it's okay. I just went to the clinic to see Huang Jun and had wontons with him at the wonton stand outside. I'm not hungry at all now. How's business today?"

"Business is pretty good. It's basically stable now. What are you doing here?"

Liu Hao usually comes to the city to pick up the pre-ordered items and goes straight home. He only comes to the shop occasionally when there is something going on. Seeing him coming here at this time, he must have something going on.

"Yes, I went to Huang Jun to get a prescription for us. We are going to castrate our two piglets. We also need to go to the winery to get some strong liquor. By the way, I want to tell you that the breeding farm at home is almost completed. You can go and have a look when you are free." "Okay, once the breeding farm is opened, we will have a stable supply of raw materials in the future. The price of pork has risen sharply recently. Fortunately, every household has stored bacon for the New Year. Otherwise, with two or three pigs being put on the market every day, we won't be able to buy any pork. You should have learned something about the situation when you went to the vegetable market."

"Yes, I also took some meat home every day. So how do you do it now?"

"We have now launched a pork meatball, but the variety of meat is still too limited. The impact is not that big, but the business of the braised meat shop has dropped a lot. There is nothing we can do about it."

"It's okay. Once our own breeding farm is open, it will be easy to eat meat. Also, don't tell anyone about the castration of the piglets. No one knows about it at this time. Uncle Renyi and the others have plans. Let's tell them when the time is right."

Although Lin Weizhong felt that telling it out would be a good thing for the common people, he also had to make plans for their own family, so it would be better to tell it later.

"Okay, I get it. I don't have anyone to tell."

The two went to the backyard and saw Liu Caixia helping to make kimchi. Now that some physical work was done, they were not the kind of bosses who would just sit back and do the work. When they looked up and saw someone coming, they washed their hands and dried them: "Liu Hao is here, let's go inside and talk."

She took the two men into the house where she lived. The maids were used to their way of getting along with each other. A widow and a man could not stay in the same room, so this had no effect on them.

"If you hadn't come, I would have gone to the market to look for you tomorrow. I gave you that money, and the money at home has already been used up, right?"

"I don't know that either. Uncle Renyi didn't tell me. He must have run out of money, otherwise Uncle Renyi wouldn't have asked me to come to you. He asked me to buy some strong alcohol and go home, and to order some blue bricks from the brick kiln to lay on the floor of the pig pen. The money he gave me was only enough to buy alcohol, and he didn't give me the money for the blue bricks."

"Okay, then Wei Zhong will go to the brick kiln to place the order tomorrow morning, and you can keep the money." Liu Caixia gave the bag of change to Lin Wei Zhong.

The shop now collects some small change every day, all of which is collected by Liu Caixia, and the rest of the copper coins are used to buy raw materials and for change.

She didn't exchange it for silver ingots or notes. It was the time to spend money and she had no savings.

"Okay, once it's done I'll call someone to come with me into the city to haul it. Then we can bring our ox carts and horse carriages over here."

"It's okay. We will go back together when the time comes. One more mule cart should be enough. If there are more of us, we can just take the village's ox cart back."

"Of course. Now Zhang Hu and the other aunts can handle things on their own. If they are too busy, they can do less business. Besides, we have a rough idea of ​​how much the goods we import can sell for. We don't have to worry about not having people here. I haven't been back to the village for more than half a month. I really want to go back and see what the farm looks like after it is built."

Liu Caixia also knew that the farm built with the current technology would not be very good, so she was a little curious and wanted to go back and take a look. It had been a long time since she had seen her parents and Xiaolu.

"Okay, then the time is about right. Uncle Renyi estimates that it will be finished in six or seven days. By then, the custom-made blue bricks should also be ready. By the way, this is the size of the blue bricks. You can take the brick kiln worker to have a look. If you make it according to this, a pigpen will cost about nine bricks. The pigpen here will cost 216 bricks. Order 220 bricks and keep a few for backup."

"Okay. Can you take a look around to see if there's anything else you need?"

"Not for now." Liu Hao thought about it carefully. Father Liu didn't say anything else. He was just a tool, a messenger.

"If you want to go back today, go back quickly. There's room for you even if you don't go back." Liu Caixia looked at the sky outside. It was gradually getting dark.

"Yes, if you want to go, go quickly." Lin Weizhong echoed Liu Caixia's words. It would take more than an hour to get back from the county town, and they could still make it back before it got completely dark.

"I want to go back, so I'll leave first!"

Liu Caixia suddenly thought of something and called him again, "As soon as the back hill is open, plant something. It doesn't matter what it is. Tell my dad that we should also find a way to plant potatoes as soon as possible."

"Got it. I'm getting ready."

Liu Hao drove back in the carriage with a jar of pickles.

The kimchi made by Liu Caixia is still delicious and suits his taste. Mrs. Zhao at home can also make kimchi, but the taste of her kimchi is always a little lacking.

This jar of kimchi can last for two or three days if you are frugal.
