Chapter 11: Brother-in-law
Lin Yu went to buy some flour, some new pastry molds and ingredients, and went back happily with Daquan and Sun.
Daquan saw that the pastries were selling well, and said: "I really can't imagine that selling pastries is so profitable!" It's just that this Mid-Autumn Festival is once a year, and if it is always sold in the future, I don't know if it can be so popular. β
"What the eldest brother thinks, that's what I think." Lin Yu continued, "But I think this Mid-Autumn Festival gathering has given us a good start." Our small dim sum is a penny, two pennies three, the big set is only once a month, we can sell some every time we catch the market, anyway, we don't eat every day, occasionally eat these two, especially the people in the county, they will still be willing. β
"Listening to you say that, it seems really good." Daquan nodded.
"Then we're going to have more pumpkins next year!" Sun said excitedly.
"Yes! But I figured if the pastries sold well, we'd have to go out and buy some pumpkins! Lin Yu said with a smile.
"That's it! It's all done! Daquan was very satisfied in his words.
Back at home, Taifu and Taicai were sitting at the dining table, with the pastries Lin Yu bought yesterday in the middle. Lin Yu only bought two pieces, so she only cut a little bit of each and tasted it, and left the rest for the two of them to eat. But at the moment, neither of them has eaten, and they are still in a stalemate there.
"How can you just look at this?" Lin Yu asked Taicai softly with a smile.
"My aunt told me yesterday that the big one should be eaten by the eldest brother, and the small one should be eaten by me. But the eldest brother has to give me the big one! Taicai replied.
Lin Yu smiled with relief, this little leather monkey, the starch candy she brought from Beijing when she first came, was hidden in the cabinet by the Sun family, saying that the brothers had one piece per person every day. But he took advantage of everyone's absence to steal out and eat most of it! was so angry that Sun beat him up. It's only been a few days, and I know humility!
Daquan and the Sun family were also very moved, although Lin Yu had only been back for a few days, Taicai had really changed a lot.
"Big brother and sister-in-law are at home?" A man's voice rang out outside the door.
"In! It's Youfeng, right? Come on in! Daquan replied.
"Huh!" As soon as the words fell, a tall and strong man came in through the door. He carried a flat pole on his shoulders and a rattan basket hung at both ends. This person is a head taller than the eldest brother, he should be able to look more than one meter eighty, and he laughs all in a naΓ―ve manner. "Big brother, it's a holiday tomorrow, I'll give you some gifts!"
"Quick, get inside!" Daquan asked Li Youfeng to put down his things, and took what Li Youfeng took out of the rattan basket.
Li Youfeng entered the house with his waist bent and saw Lin Yu sitting on the edge of the kang.
"This is the eldest sister! I heard that you came back a few days ago, and I was still talking to my child and his mother to come, but there were many things at home, so I didn't leave. She also wanted to come over today, but Jing Yatou was suffering from the cold again and was sick, so she didn't come. When she's better, I'll bring her over. β
Lin Yu saw that although Li Youfeng had a simple and honest face, his words were clear and clear, and he was also smart. Then he said: "The child is important, I don't just live for a few days, you tell Xiaoxue not to worry." β
"Huh! I listen to the eldest sister. Li Youfeng smiled innocently.
"Youfeng, yesterday the four of us went up the mountain to shoot a wild boar and came back, and your sister-in-law will cut some back for you in a while." Daquan Road.
"W-How embarrassing is this!"
"What's so embarrassing about that! All their own family! Daquan said.
"Yes! Also, the mooncakes that your eldest sister and I learned to make last night happen to have six pieces left at home, so you can take them back and eat them! Sun also said.
Sun's words made Lin Yu stunned, it turned out that this Sun family was not a dime a dime. However, in my memory, Xiaoxue is a very likable person, and with a person like Li Youfeng who seems to be honest and honest, but is actually all-encompassing, it is not easy to coax Sun's mean temperament to treat them well. But this also shows that Sun is not the kind of person who is naturally mean, probably poor, so he loves to be calculating, and he loves to take advantage, in fact, it should be not bad.
"I can't take this mooncake! The meat is made by myself, I will take it back and give it to everyone to try it, this moon cake has been bought at home, but I can't ask for it! Li Youfeng waved his hand again and again.
"This mooncake is nothing! Well done! We've sold them in town, and we've got a few leftovers at home! Don't worry, we'll do it again in the evening, and I'll give it to your sister tomorrow. "His sister is Erkui's daughter-in-law, Li.
Hearing Sun say this, Li Youfeng nodded.
Li Youfeng talked to everyone for a while, and then took his things and walked to Erkui's house.
And here, Sun's also raised the stove, washed a few pumpkins and steamed them, and prepared to continue making moon cakes at night.
Lin Yu promised that he would send it to everyone early tomorrow morning.
After a while, dinner will begin. After making money today, Sun's was in a good mood, fried a plate of snake meat for dinner, stewed a small half pot of rabbit meat, and stewed wild boar with cabbage, Lin Yu felt that this was the most hearty meal she had eaten since she came to ancient times.
Lin Yu is the first time to eat snake meat, she has the memory of eating snake meat when the previous master was a child, but it is the first time to actually eat it by herself. I only feel that Sun's fried is particularly crispy and delicious, and when I bite into it, it is really fragrant.
"Sister-in-law, this snake meat is so fragrant! It's the best I've ever tasted! Lin Yu praised while eating.
Sun smiled hehehe. After all, everyone likes to be complimented on how good they are when they cook.
"It's rare for the eldest sister to like it, but it's a pity that the snakes at this time are all in the hole. This is what I saw next to the hot spring on the other side of the mountain. But it was too cold to crawl, and when we caught it, it couldn't resist. Daquan said.
"Hot springs? Do we still have hot springs here? Lin Yu was shocked. What a precious geological treasure hot springs are! I don't know how good it will be for my body to be able to wash it.
"Yes! But it's too small, just a pinch's width. The water is quite hot. Daquan replied.
Lin Yu said "oh" and didn't say anything more, but the matter of this hot spring was remembered in his heart.
"Eat more."
"Oh." Lin Yu replied, mechanically sandwiching pieces of snake meat one after another. But rabbit meat and wild boar meat were not eaten much. Even though he has never eaten much in ancient times, Lin Yu still doesn't like to eat these wild meats. Rabbit meat has an earthy smell. The smell of wild boar is even more unpleasant, very fishy, she was about to vomit when Da Zhuang's family cooked meat yesterday, and she didn't want to clip a piece at this time.
After dinner, Lin Yu and Sun Shi threw themselves into the plan of making moon cakes, and by the time they were ready, nearly 100 moon cakes and more than 100 pumpkin cakes were made.
After putting everything away, the Lin family, who had been busy all day, went to sleep on the kang.
