Chapter 141 Recruiting Li Gou'er
When Li Gou'er learned that Tao Hua was actually with a scholar who had appeared out of nowhere, and that she was even pregnant with his child, he completely broke down.
His eyes widened in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly. "Mother, didn't you say you would let Peach Blossom marry me in the future? How come this scholar who came out of nowhere has suddenly appeared?"
He had been in love with Tao Hua since he was a child, and always felt that Tao Hua would definitely be his wife in the future.
So even though he's not married yet, he doesn't think it's a big deal for him to be close to peach blossoms.
But now, that beautiful dream has shattered in an instant.
Li Gou'er wandered aimlessly through the village, muttering to himself:
"How could this happen? How could Peach Blossom be with someone else? No way, I have to go see what that pretty boy looks like. How dare he steal Peach Blossom from me? I'll kill him!"
A strong sense of resentment filled his heart.
He was already a good-for-nothing loafer in the village, and now, in his disheveled state, the villagers avoided him even more, afraid of getting into any trouble.
He searched the village for several days, but couldn't find a trace of the so-called Young Master Tang. Peach Blossom also seemed to have vanished into thin air.
Su Li saw this and was very anxious.
She understood that if Li Gou'er continued to cause trouble, Tao Hua's side would definitely not have peace, and it might even cause more problems.
Now that Peach Blossom's father has finally accepted Young Master Tang, this situation cannot be disrupted any further.
After much deliberation, Su Li decided to talk to Li Gou'er.
Su Li spotted Li Gou'er walking on the village path, rushed up to him, and blocked his way. "Stop, Li Gou'er, I have something to say to you!"
Li Gou'er was already feeling irritated, and being stopped like this made him frown and retort with a displeased expression.
"What are you going to say? Don't think I'm afraid of you just because your brother is here. If you make me unhappy, you'll see if I don't teach you a lesson!"
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, trying to look fierce.
Su Li took a deep breath, stepped forward, and stared straight at Li Gou'er with her bright black eyes.
Li Gou'er felt inexplicably flustered under that gaze and involuntarily took a large step back, stammering:
"What do you want to do? Let me tell you, I'm capable of anything when I get angry!"
Su Li glanced at him indifferently, secretly sneering to herself. Anyone could see through his blustering facade.
She spoke slowly and deliberately:
"Alright, you've been wandering around the village all day, and your thoughts are written all over your face. Let me tell you, the matter between Peach Blossom and Young Master Tang is a done deal. There's no use making a fuss. You can't force a relationship."
"After all the despicable things you did to Peach Blossom, no one would marry you. You should have some self-awareness."
Upon hearing this, Li Gou'er immediately jumped up and shouted back, "What, what did you say? I didn't do anything to Tao Hua, don't make false accusations! Besides, Tao Hua is..."
That's my wife.
But under Su Li's sharp, knife-like gaze, he spoke the last sentence softer and softer, and finally swallowed it back awkwardly.
Seeing his expression, Su Li knew she had a chance, so she took another step forward, gently patted his shoulder, and said earnestly:
"Alright, I know you want to get married. Right now, I'm preparing to make pickled vegetables. You can help me collect vegetables in the village, and I'll pay you on commission. It's easy and not tiring, and it'll allow you to save money to get married."
"Look at you now, penniless and with a reputation for being a scoundrel. What girl would want you?"
Li Gou'er initially looked reluctant, pouting and looking away, appearing indifferent.
But when he heard the words "can make money to get married," his eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but waver.
He slowly raised his head, looked at Su Li, his eyes filled with doubt and hesitation, and stammered:
"You, are you serious? How could such a good thing possibly happen to me?"
Su Li rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Of course, when have I ever said anything nonsense? You're very familiar with the villagers, so I trust you with the vegetable harvesting."
What Su Li didn't say was that Li Gou'er had a notorious reputation as a rogue in the village. No one wanted to be bothered by a rogue when he went out to collect vegetables, so it was actually somewhat convenient for him to do things, at least others wouldn't dare to fool him.
After all, it might be possible to fool ordinary people, but to fool a scoundrel is simply digging your own grave and inviting trouble.
"Hey, you're a grown man, stop dragging your feet! Can't you even do it?"
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Su Li urged him impatiently.
Li Gou'er pondered for a moment, the image of getting married constantly flashing through his mind. Finally, he steeled himself, gritted his teeth, nodded, and agreed to the matter.
"Row!"
Watching Li Gou'er's departing figure, Su Li breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted from her heart.
She never understood why Widow Li helped Peach Blossom.
However, Widow Li's actions did indeed secure some protection for Peach Blossom.
The saying goes, "to repay a favor in kind." Giving Li Gou'er a chance to make a living can be considered a way of repaying Widow Li.
The recipe for pickled vegetables has been finalized, and six varieties have been prepared so far: three meat and three vegetable.
The vegetarian dish features Eight Treasure Fragrance, made with carefully selected plump peanuts, round soybeans, and other beans. These beans are soaked and cooked in advance, then drizzled with hot and fragrant chili oil, and sprinkled with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and other seasonings before being mixed well.
Every bite is a collision of rich flavors, spicy and addictive.
It is packed into a rough earthenware jar, similar in size to a wine jar, which is easy to carry. Each jar contains about two pounds.
There's also the fragrant five-spice pickled radish. The radish is sliced thinly and marinated with five-spice seasoning. When the jar is sealed, the aroma fills your nostrils.
Finally, there's the sweet and sour pickled cabbage, which is very appetizing. The cabbage is carefully selected, shredded, and then soaked in a sweet and sour sauce. The sweet and sour taste is mouthwatering.
For meat dishes, there are savory and firm canned cured meats.
Select the finest pork, rub it carefully with salt, Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings, and then marinate and dry it for a long time. The result is a golden-yellow cured pork with a rich, smoky aroma permeating its texture.
After steaming, slice it thinly and put it into a jar; each slice is full of flavor.
There's also the spicy and crispy fried dried anchovies in cans. Fresh anchovies are cleaned, coated in batter, and deep-fried in hot oil until golden brown and crispy.
Next, add chili peppers, cumin, and other seasonings and stir-fry evenly.
The dried anchovies are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, spicy and flavorful, ready to eat straight from the can, convenient and delicious.
Finally, there's the richly flavorful smoked duck. After being smoked, the duck is cut into small pieces and placed in a jar, filling the air with a smoky aroma that makes your mouth water.
Each jar was first sealed tightly with wax, then covered with double layers of oil paper and tied tightly with hemp rope to ensure that the delicious contents inside were not disturbed by the outside world.
These pickled vegetables are very convenient for everyday consumption or for carrying when going out.
