The Strong Wife from Peasant Family Chapter 49

When Li Qingling saw that eager expression, she felt both angry and amused.

After their family's conditions had been improved, they would basically eat meat the next day. They weren't hungry at all, so why was it that just one potato roasting chicken had made them crave for more?

Liu Zhirou was still young, so she did not have much patience. Taking a few steps forward, she entered the kitchen and grabbed onto Li Qingling's leg, raising her head to look at Li Qingling, she asked, "Big sister, Xiang Xiang Xiang, you want to eat?" Saying that, saliva started dripping down the corner of her mouth.

Seeing that, Li Qingling burst out laughing, bent over and hugged Liu Zhirou, wiped her saliva, intimately touched her forehead and laughed: "Greedy cat, it's not enough yet, wait a bit more!"

Sucking in a mouthful of saliva, Liu Zhirou once again wrinkled her nose, and obediently nodded.

Seeing that she was obedient, Li Qingling gave her a kiss, then carried her to the entrance of the kitchen and put her down. "Wait here with your brothers, we'll be able to eat later." With that, she turned and went back into the kitchen. She lifted the lid of the pot and stir-fried the stewed chicken with potatoes.

The fragrance became stronger. The greedy kittens who were standing by the door kept gulping down their saliva.

"If you don't hurry, our kitchen door might be flooded." Liu Zhimo turned his head to look at the kids, and laughed while saying to Li Qingling, forget about the kids, even he couldn't hold it in, it was just too fragrant.

The corner of Li Qingling's mouth hooked up into a smile, and she let Liu Zhimo increase the intensity of the fire.

Liu Zhimo agreed and added another handful of firewood. Li Qingling quickly stir-fried the firewood, and after collecting the juice, she placed the firewood onto the plate.

Seeing that the children could not wait any longer, she picked up a piece of the chicken and gave them a taste of its freshness.

Of course, he did not miss Tiger. If Tiger did, it would be troublesome.

Li Qingling fried another vegetable and then said something that made the children wait a long time, "It's time to start the meal."

"It's time for dinner." Liu Zhiyan licked his fingers, then turned and washed his hands. He went to the kitchen to get a bowl and chopsticks, then ran back to the house to set them up.

Liu Zhimo brought the two plates of chicken onto the table, and Li Qingling brought the food over. She filled the bowls with food for the children, and also dressed Tiger in food.

This time, everyone was full. Li Qingfeng laid on the chair, rubbed his stomach, and said with a face full of satisfaction: "If only Tian Tian could eat like this, it would be great." However, this was just a thought, it was impossible for the chicken to eat meat everyday at home, so it was still the chicken s who asked, "Sis, do we still have more potatoes?" He thought potatoes were the best thing he had ever eaten.

"There are still potatoes in the ground, if you want to eat them, you can dig them up at any time. However, now that you think about it, it's impossible for you to eat potato stewed chicken everyday, I'll let you eat enough in the future." No matter what, she would help her little brother fulfill his small wish.

Being teased by Li Qingling like this, Li Qingfeng's face reddened. He only said that, and didn't really have to eat it every day.

"Alright, all of you, don't slump on your chairs. Go out and take a stroll in the courtyard to eat and drink." Li Qingling chased the few children out of the courtyard. She cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, then took them over to the kitchen to wash.

Li Qingling did not stop him, she just leaned on the kitchen door frame and watched him wash, "What do you think of the potato? "Is it delicious?" The potatoes stewed the chickens, and the fragrance of the chickens entered the potatoes. It was inevitable that they would taste good.

Liu Zhimo cleanly washed the bowl, and nodded very honestly, "It's very delicious, and I feel very full." He felt that it could be eaten as a meal. "What is the survival rate of potatoes? Can you do more than one? " If they had that potato, their family would not be lacking food.

Li Qingling really felt that Liu Zhimo's brain was really good. Just by asking her, he could already think of other ways, it was truly amazing.

"Potato doesn't pick the soil. It can grow very well in the desert."

After placing the bowl back down, Liu Zhimo washed his hands again before raising his head to look at Li Qingling. His eyes were filled with seriousness like never before, "Speak, what do you think?" She wouldn't have mentioned the potatoes to her for no reason at all. If she had, she must have had other ideas.

shrugged his shoulders. "I don't have much of an idea, I just want to advertise my potato." In this era, there were plenty of people who could not eat their fill. Since she had found this potato and was able to help others, she might as well help!

He had guessed what she was thinking, and hearing her say that, Liu Zhimo was not too surprised, and immediately nodded his head, "Then let's follow your plan!" Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Let the village chief know beforehand. If anyone wants to plant potatoes, come and buy them from us." If they were to give it to the villagers for free, it would be impossible. They had already experienced such a thankless task and did not want to experience it again.

Hearing Liu Zhimo's words, Li Qingling instantly understood what he meant, "Alright, let's do as you say." After saying that, she laughed softly, "This matter can't be told until next year? It's too early to say. " More than half of the potatoes in the field would have to be left to grow, so they couldn't be eaten anymore.

"Then let's wait until next year!" Liu Zhimo grabbed Li Qingling's shoulder, turned her around, and gently pushed her out of the kitchen, "In half a month, we will have to collect the rice in the fields. Do you want to ask people to collect them, or do you want to do so yourself?" The land that the two families combined had to be around four to five acres. If they were to take it, it would take a little longer.

"Invite someone to accept it!" Li Qingling answered without hesitation. The children at home were still young, so they could not help much, but if she and Liu Zhimo were to accept them all, they would die of exhaustion. It would be better to spend some money and ask someone to take care of them.

Liu Zhimo nodded his head in agreement, "Alright then, let's invite people to come and take them. Give them a few more coins, and we won't treat them to food." He would rather spend more money than let Li Qingling be so tired. He would cook three meals a day for others.

Li Qingling had obviously thought of this point as well and agreed.

She didn't need to cook anymore, that would be for the best. She didn't need to tire herself out.

Two days before they were to harvest the rice, Liu Zhimo went to the village to find someone to help them harvest the rice.

In the village, some people didn't have much land. Basically, they would be able to collect all of their family's land in a day, then they would think of ways to work part-time and help others collect rice.

Zeng Tietou was such a family. His ancestors weren't here because their grandfather had already escaped here. As a result, they didn't have much land, so they had to work part-time to maintain their families' lives.

When he heard the reason for Liu Zhimo's visit, he immediately nodded his head. 20 gold coins a day was much better than if he went elsewhere to work.

Liu Zhimo asked him to find another helper to help them harvest the rice. This would be faster.

Zeng Tie patted his chest, telling Liu Zhimo to be at ease, he would definitely find a strong and hardworking man.

With regards to Zeng Ironhead, Liu Zhimo felt quite at ease. After leaving the matter to him, he headed home.

The next morning, he brought a person called Li Qiang to Liu Zhimo's house.

Liu Zhimo looked at Li Qiang and nodded his head. Then, he brought the two of them to the fields and told them about his and Li Qingling's lands.

Seeing that he had returned, Li Qingling asked him if he wanted to go to the Valley to occupy a place.

In this era, there was no modern convenience. If one wanted to remove the rice, the machines could do so.

Here, however, they had to rely on manpower or animals to help them get rid of the rice.

Liu Zhimo nodded, and allowed Li Qingling to stay at home, he just needed to go to the place in the Valley.

However, Li Qingling felt that since he was a boy of half a year old, she would definitely fight with a bunch of girls over a place.

Seeing that she was so determined, Liu Zhimo could only nod his head and warn her to be careful and not get into conflict with the other women.

Li Qingling responded as she lifted her leg to head to the Valley. When she went there, more than half of the Valley was already occupied by the people, and looking at the noisy crowd, she stood there, a little dumbfounded.

"Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling, over here." Seeing Li Qingling standing there in a daze, Auntie Huang stood up and waved at him.

Upon seeing Auntie Huang, Li Qingling smiled as she walked over and greeted her.

"There's no one here yet, so why don't you stay here? "She's with me too." Aunt Huang pointed to the empty space beside him with a warm heart, telling Li Qingling to guard and occupy that empty space.

Li Qingling thanked Auntie Huang sincerely. If it wasn't for Aunty Huang calling her, she really wouldn't have had a clue.

Auntie Huang did not mind and waved a hand, "There's no need to be polite to auntie." Li Qingling had brought her to earn money before, but for this reason, she would always help Li Qingling. "Are you the only one coming?" She looked at Li Qingling's little arms and legs. She really doubted if she could move them to grind them.

"Yes, I'm alone." Li Qingling answered, "When will it be Auntie's turn?" In the village, there was only one job, but if there were so many people, how long would it take?

Auntie Huang pointed at the people in front of her and sighed, "It's still early. Look, there's already a huge crowd lined up in front of us. We'll have to wait until they're done grinding before coming to me." Every year, when it came time to line up, the queue would collapse.

When Li Qingling saw this, she also sighed in her heart. With so many people, it would take at least a few years for them to grow old. At this time, she really missed the modern threshing machine, and took off the rice in an instant.
