If they’d had a refrigerator, the sauce could have been stored longer.
They had been making tomato sauce all day. They had exhausted all the stock they had collected in two days. The finished products were already contained in jars.
By the time Ye Liu and Ye Mo returned from town, they were making dinner.
“Little Duo, take a look at the jar you designed,” Ye Liu yelled as he quickly moved the cart into yard.
Liu Duo came out of the kitchen with Little Huzi in her arms.
Li Wazi helped unload the cart and brought the jars over to the well to be washed.
“Liuzi, how much for the jars?” Liu Duo estimated there were about a hundred.
Their size was a bit larger than a bottle of snow beer, and the shape was more or less identical. On the white surface was a picture of a red tomato.
Ye Liu answered gleefully, “About a hundred and fifty. I made a deal with the pottery keeper. If we buy jars from him in the future, they’ll only be three wen each.”
The price for a jar like that usually depended on the size.
The bigger the size, the higher the price, and vice versa.
Liu Duo nodded. Three wen each wasn’t much.
Ye Mo brought some over to the well. On the way back, he went to stand in front of Liu Duo and suddenly said to her, “Dear wife, let’s make some babies!”
He realized that, whenever Little Lian brought Little Huzi over, Liu Duo would take him in her lap and tease him. If she liked babies so much, she might as well have one of her own to care for!”
Liu Duo just stared at him.
He was the only one who would nag about having children whenever they slept together. Her ears might fall off if he kept mentioning it.
“Whatever!” was her response, as she brought Little Huzi back into the kitchen and resumed chatting with Ye Ling and the others
Ye Mo’s excitement dropped when she turned away. She likes babies so much, so why doesn’t she want one of her own? I’m working hard too. Liu and Yang have also consummated with her, so why isn’t there any news? I guess I have to work harder!
He continued unloading the jars from the cart, when suddenly, Li Wazi approached him and asked in a hushed voice, “Mo, when are you going to give me a daughter-in-law?”
Ever since he had found out Ye Mo had done the deed with Liu Duo, he had been pestering him for a baby girl to be wed to his son!
What kind of friend was he? Ye Mo had told him many times that he wanted a son – a son! Why was he still asking for a girl? Was he deaf?
And it was not up to him to decide when they would have a baby!
He rolled his eyes at Li Wazi, “Leave me alone. Why don’t you get me a daughter-in-law instead?”
“Will do. My wife and I will bear a daughter by then,” Li Wazi, a simple man, gave him a serious look.
He believed it was a wonderful suggestion.
Standing by the sidelines, Ye Liu said to them, “Mo, Li Wazi, are you two having a secret affair? You two are awfully close.”
At the sound of Ye Liu’s teasing, Ye Mo shoved Li Wazi away, “Speak properly. Don’t get so close to me!”
Li Wazi gave an honest smile as he turned to Ye Liu, “What are you talking about, Liu? I’m just talking to Mo, and I only love my wife.”
Pffft, Ye Liu laughed out loud while Ye Mo pulled a long face, “Well, I only love my wife too!”
This was outrageous! Liu was obviously making a joke, and Li Wazi had taken it seriously?
What kind of stupid, foolish friend had he made? What a disappointment!
