Chapter 107 Closing the Shop

In a blink of an eye, the zongzi were sold out, and according to the original decision, the shop was to be collected, so after the zongzi were sold, Yang and a few aunts hurriedly did the finishing work, washed and cleaned the ones that should be washed, and collected the ones that should be collected. After all, the shop is not big, but a few women are sharp with their hands and feet, and they quickly get it clean.

Yan Qingshan was also helping, because Yan Shaojie was at home, so the Yang family was not worried about Yan Yan, and everyone hurriedly went back in an ox cart after finishing their work, and they also took back what should be taken back.

"This year is finally over, and everyone has worked hard," Yang said with a smile as he sat in the ox cart.

"That's how we save money, but the better the business, the happier we are," Plum Blossom Lady was also very happy.

"Like, it's better for us to work together than to go out and do it for someone else, right?" Yang Shuniang said.

Several women happily talked and laughed all the way back, Yan Qingshan listened to the laughter in the car, looked at the scenery in front of him that was getting closer and closer to home, and was also very happy in his heart. His own family is getting better and better now, and he is also relieved and satisfied in his heart.

When I got home, Yan Shaojie was reading a book, Yan Yan was making clothes, the clothes had been stuffed with cotton and were finishing the work, Yan Yan asked Yan Shaojie to try it on, it was indeed a little bigger, then Xu Yan should be suitable.

"Daddy, are you back?" Yan Yan heard the voice and hurriedly got up, and Yang happened to walk into the courtyard with something.

"Mother, I'll come," Yan Shaojie hurriedly stepped forward to take the burden, and Yang went with him with a smile.

"Mother, are you hungry? Why don't I cook earlier? Yan Yan knew that they must be eating casually outside, just forget it, they must be hungry now.

"Don't worry, it's okay to do it slowly," Yang is really high-minded today, this shop is closed, she can breathe a sigh of relief and rest at home, and business is also good during this time.

"Okay, then you rest, I'll see what kind of dishes I cook tonight," Yan Yan asked Yang to sit in the hall, because Yan Shaojie and Yan Yan had been sitting here before, so the stove was blazing, Yan Yan poured a glass of water for Yang and went to the kitchen.

Yan Yan went to the kitchen to take a look, it was all some bacon and pickled fish or something, Yan Yan was thinking about what to cook, and Yan Shaojie came into the kitchen. "Sister, what are you doing?" Yan Shaojie saw that Yan Yan was silent, so he asked.

"Brother, are there any fish in the fish pond?" Yan Yan asked, she didn't know how much she caught last time, she forgot to ask.

"Anything else, what's wrong? Want to eat fish, right? I'll go get one and come back," Yan Shaojie hurriedly found a bamboo basket and prepared to go out.

"I want carp, it doesn't need to be very big," Yan Yan thought that he hadn't cooked fish for a long time, and he didn't have much time during this time.

"I know," Yan Shaojie hurried away, go and come back quickly, he was also afraid that his father and mother would be hungry.

Yan Yan went to the vegetable garden to cut the cabbage again, planning to make a pork residue stir-fry, because not long ago, he killed a pig and refined a lot of lard residue, and there are still a lot left, and this lard residue stir-fry is the most fragrant; There is also a steamed bacon, bacon, preserved duck, and dried preserved fish are mixed together, and shredded ginger, perilla, and coriander are put on it, which is more fragrant; Then make a salted duck egg soup, put small pieces of tofu, winter melon, and dried small fish and shrimp, which is very delicious.

When Yan Yan's rice was ready, and the dishes were almost cooked, Yan Shaojie finally rushed back, and there was a carp weighing two or three catties in the bamboo basket, "Sister, the carp is here," Yan Shaojie was a little panting, probably in a hurry.

"Okay, brother, you can rest, I just need this carp here, and you can eat when you turn around," Yan Yan took the carp and quickly cleaned it up, first marinated the fish with salt, pepper, and light soy sauce, and then smeared the batter mixed with corn starch and flour, and adjusted the sweet and sour sauce, then heated the oil and fried the fish until it was golden brown, and finally boiled the sweet and sour sauce and poured it on top of the fish, and the meal was ready.

"Daddy, brother, it's time to eat," Yan Yan came to the hall with sweet and sour fish, and shouted by the way, Yan Shaojie hurriedly helped serve the food and set the dishes and chopsticks. Yan Qingshan and Yang sat at the table and watched the two brothers and sisters busy, their eyes full of smiles.

"This fish smells of vinegar," Yan Qingshan didn't like to eat sour things, and glanced at Yan Yan hesitantly.

"Dad, this is sweet and sour fish, you can taste it, it's delicious!" Yan Yan knew that Yan Qingshan and Yan Shaojie didn't like to eat sour things, so she didn't put much vinegar in this sweet and sour fish, just so that Yan Qingshan and Yan Shaojie could taste it.

"Okay, my daughter made it, I will definitely eat it," Yan Qingshan was originally hesitant, but thinking that his daughter's cooking was so hard, and he was still picky, it was too undeserved, so he immediately sandwiched a piece of fish meat and sent it to his mouth. Yan Qingshan felt that it was delicious as soon as he ate it, and his eyes were full of surprise, "This fish is delicious!" Yan Qingshan couldn't express it, he could only say whether it was delicious or not.

Yang and Yan Shaojie also hurriedly came to taste it, and they couldn't stop admiring, "This sweet and sour fish is really appetizing, if you eat this in summer, you will definitely send rice," Yang felt that the sweet and sour was very delicious.

"It's really delicious, my sister's food is different, and there are a lot of tricks, we are blessed," Yan Shaojie said with a smile, thinking that if Yang Shu married Yan Yan, wouldn't it be a great blessing? Yang looked at her daughter with satisfaction, her daughter's marriage is not to worry, such a good girl, others are afraid that they will come to the door to beg, right?

"That's it, the food cooked by my daughter is the best in the village," Yan Qingshan didn't forget to praise Yan Yan, Yan Yan had no choice but to smile helplessly.

"Daddy, let's see how much money we have this year, and the wages of the aunts haven't been paid yet!" Yan Yan was also very embarrassed when he thought that everyone had worked for a year before they were paid.

"Yes, yes, this is to be hurried, this money can't be delayed for the New Year," Yang is very concerned about these things. So after the family eats, they clean up and count their money.

"I counted it, there are five hundred taels here, and some broken silver and copper plates," Yang said after counting all the money.

"Five hundred taels? After building the house, we have one hundred and fifty taels left, and the one hundred and fifty taels of the recipe, that is, the remaining two hundred taels are the money for doing business during this time," Yan Yan finished speaking, and opened the book in his hand, "Now we have to remove the cost of pork, this money has not been given out, and it needs to be reduced; The money for mung beans was given, as well as the wages of the aunts, and other miscellaneous money, so what we have left is income," Yan Yan slowed down, wrote and painted in his notebook, and counted his income. Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, they all held their breath, waiting for Yan Yan's final result.

Yan Yan looked up and saw everyone like this after calculating, and couldn't help laughing, "No matter how much it is, there is always money, our business this year has an income of more than sixty taels of silver, because two hundred taels minus the wages and costs is so much," Yan Yan said with a smile, this is already very good, after all, the house has been closed for a while.

"Really? And so much more? "Yang is the happiest, his hard work has not been in vain. Yan Qingshan and Yan Shaojie also laughed happily, especially Yan Shaojie, who breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't help much, and the family was doing well, so he didn't feel so guilty.
