After Rong Yi came back in the evening, he said with a smile: "Lan'er, your noodles are full of praise today, saying that they are similar to those in the noodle restaurant, especially the sauce is well done, and the noodles are also strong, we are not big enough to eat, and the belly is round." ”
Yang Lan greeted her with a smile, "What's this, the material is enough, the strength is solid, how can there be no reason for it to be delicious, have you drunk the soup?" ”
"It's all gone, there's nothing left, and the dishes don't have to be washed." Rong Yi shrugged his shoulders amusedly.
Yang Lan is also very happy, the food she made has been loved by everyone and eaten up, this is the biggest praise for the cook, she said with a smile: "You have to like it, I will make it for you to eat in a few days, the best to eat during the day, suppress hunger, and eat noodles at night is a little heavy." ”
Rong Yi nodded happily, "Oh yes, remember to wrap me a red envelope in two days, the daughter of Zhao's staff is married, and she is married to a local person who teaches the clan in someone else's family." ”
Yang Lan nodded, "Okay, then I'll pack more, anyway, it's also your staff, if you want to give face, you need to have a set of jewelry." ”
"I don't mind, I'm afraid you will, hehe!" Rong Yi saw that she didn't understand, and shrugged his shoulders and smiled evilly.
Yang Lan looked at him suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?" What other joints are not in place? ”
"His daughter's name is Su Lan, hahaha!" Rong Yi raised his head and laughed.
Yang Lan crossed her waist and glared at him angrily, and after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't help laughing, "You scoundrel, you know that I can't remember people, and you don't tell me directly, you want to see my jokes, right?" ”
Rong Yi smiled happily. "I'm just reminding you. You won't have to sleep again. He shook his head in joy.
"Phew. It's so beautiful to you, I can sleep well every night, who said I can't sleep, I stink and beautiful you. Yang Lan smacked him unconvinced, with a funny look on her face.
Rong Yi was very happy to see her crying and laughing expression.
Yang Lan glared at him, "You're so happy, don't you have to eat tonight." I'll eat the three fresh wontons by myself. After speaking, he walked out very calmly.
"Oh, no, I'm hungry." Rong Yi followed behind and laughed, not to mention how ridiculous it looked.
Yang Lan pursed her lips and held back a smile, but her eyes were full of smiles, let you laugh at me, I must give you some color to see, dare to offend the chef, don't you want to mix.
In the evening, I eat small wontons, and I use the leftover skin from rolling noodles at noon. It was nice to use for ravioli, and the chicken broth was clarified. Put some small greens and seaweed, sprinkle some green onion and coriander, and put fresh shrimp and pork shiitake mushrooms in the wonton filling, which is very delicious.
I also made pumpkin steamed buns, sugar buns with sweet potato and red bean filling, fried quail and a few vegetarian dishes.
Rong Yi was so happy to eat that he ate two bowls of wontons plus three steamed buns and a sugar bun, and he only ate a little bit, "I'm full, it's still the best food cooked by my wife, and I've gained weight in just one month." Touching his round belly, he had a happy expression on his face.
"Mrs. Li is here today, guess who she is, it is the mother and daughter we met in the jewelry store that day, I asked her to go back, as for whether to cooperate, you have to meet her man, as for her is a little cautious, I think I don't know enough, I am afraid that in the future, I will cause something in our name again, and it will not be good to tarnish your reputation, you are thinking about it, if you can't, you can find another family." Yang Lan remembered the incident of the day and reported it to him.
Rong Yi thought for a while before saying: "I really want to meet him once, I have a little impression, a very elegant person, if he doesn't reveal his identity, he thinks he is a literati and an elegant guest, but it's a pity that he is in business." I'm looking, it's not a big deal. How can my name be so easy to borrow, even a cat or a dog dare to borrow my name. Daughter-in-law, when are you going to make fish noodles for me, I want to eat fish noodles, the fish here are all fresh, so let people buy some of them, okay? Rong Yi approached Yang Lan with a shy face and muttered quietly.
Yang Lan smiled and glanced at it privately, and everyone went down, otherwise they would not have to laugh to death when they saw it.
Pushed him away angrily, "Let's do it another day, I don't have time for these two days, I have to prepare a gift to go back, I'm busy." Yang Lan glanced at him, and he was still a picky eater.
"Hehe, okay, I'll wait for you, I'm going to eat hot and sour." Rong Yi immediately climbed down the pole and ordered food first.
"What about ordering food in a restaurant? It's so beautiful, I'll make it for you when I'm free, and get some balls by the way. As soon as he said that Yang Lan also wanted to eat this bite, he agreed.
"Okay, remember to make more fish balls, I'll take them to the yamen to eat." Rong Yimei thought to herself.
Yang Lan nodded, thinking that Ming'er would not be able to do it, there was no time to make complicated dishes, the day after tomorrow, by the way, I would get some fillings to come out, "The day after tomorrow, I will make some stuffing to make a soup dumpling, and then make a light fish ball soup." ”
"Okay." Rong Yi's happy head was like pounding garlic.
"By the way, I asked people to bring a letter back, I don't know how the children are, my brother let them raise them well, don't you say that there are only children left behind this time, I'm still quite worried, by the way, I will send a letter to my father and mother, and ask my mother if they are okay, do you want to go back?" Yang Lan was talking about her in-laws and her parents.
"They won't go back, the eldest brother has said that he wants to train them, how can he let them go back, mother, they went to Jiangnan, and they are comfortable to live in the fourth child, and accompany your son and nephew to study." Rong Yi said with a smile.
"Oh, forget it then, I'm afraid the kids won't be able to do anything again." Yang Lan was obviously a little disappointed.
"You, worry about it, how old are the children, they are all fathers, they should be sensible, there is an uncle to watch, there is no big thing." Rong Yi didn't care about it, the boy had rough skin and thick meat, what were he afraid of if he was beaten. Rong Yi smiled and comforted her, persuading her not to keep thinking about that little thing.
Yang Lan nodded helplessly, "That's the only way, I also wrote a letter to Brother An, asked people to take it back, encourage him, and hope that he can come back with a good ranking." ”
"Well, this kid is learning pretty well, and he has become much more stable when he goes out alone, much better than when he was at home." Rong Yi knows the condition of his sons well.
"Well, it's good to be sensible, do you think Brother An should also say kiss." Yang Lan pondered that after the imperial examination, Brother An would be almost the same.
Rong Yi put down the book, thought about it, and then nodded after calculating his age, "It's almost, but boys are not afraid of anything a few years later, and it is easier to talk about relatives when they have fame, and they can also say that girls from good families, someone will take the initiative to deliver you a letter when the time comes." ”
Yang Lan then remembered, "Then I'm here, and I can't reach it, what should I do?" Suddenly she became anxious.
"What's the hurry, and our father and mother are there, can you still wronged her grandson, she is not more anxious than you." Rong Yi suddenly felt funny.
Yang Lan then remembered that Jiangnan is the place where talents are produced, and there are many big families there, some of them are Qingliu families, and it is very good to say that a girl goes back, and the rules of Qingliu people are strict, and it is not easy to bring some good things back, so I feel much more relieved.
"Well, if you can't find a girl from Jiangnan, go back, the girl from the Qingliu family is also good." Yang Lan pondered in her heart.
"Well, I have the same intention, but Dad will definitely be interested in it then, so don't worry." Rong Yi nodded in agreement with her daughter-in-law's idea.
Yang Lan was relieved at this time, Brother An was brought up by her mother-in-law, and she was more distressed than herself, so she didn't worry about it when she thought of it, let it be.
In the following days, Yang Lan was a lot busy, distributed and packed the gifts sent back to Kyoto and Jiangnan, and asked the guards to send them back, and then approached the merchants a few times, inspected the character, and a few ladies also wanted to meet.
After taking a good day, their husband and wife jointly set up a table in the restaurant, romance local celebrities, squires, officials, wealthy businessmen and others, and also sat down to talk about the relationship, and the future work is good to carry out and other matters, Yang Lan is responsible for dealing with his wife, by the way, to find out if there is anything that needs to be taboo, or a more hidden sphere of influence or something, these are her business.
After a long time of hurrying, it took him to stop, and Yang Lan was too tired to move, and it took several days to recover his strength.
On this day, Rong Yi came back and said, "The letter from my father-in-law has arrived, agreeing to our distribution. I also promised to help you collect some interesting craftsmen, and when the time comes, open a grocery store according to their skills to see if it's good or not. Rong Yi said after returning from the yamen.
"Okay, what are you going to do about the Li family? Coming to me again, I don't know how to reply to them. Yang Lan was counting on Rong Yi to give an accurate word, and she knew that she couldn't keep dragging it out.
"Well, the man of the Li family is still good, very visionary, I still like him more, this time her wife did it, but it made her man make up his mind to follow us, the conditions are also good, and he can give us an extra profit every year, I plan to use this silver to build a school, what do you think?" Rong Yi said with great interest, his eyes full of ambition.
"Is it free?" Yang Lan pondered for a moment, free is a good thing, but the key is how long can you do it?
"Well, I'm thinking about freeing the shackles, but there is still the problem of long-term persistence, and the question of whether I can make profits independently, after all, Mr.'s shackle fee must always be given, so I can't let Mr. not eat." Rong Yi understands the hardships of life.
Yang Lan thought for a long time, "Do you think that if we still want to cultivate talents in different categories like Fuchun County, for example, some people are willing to be apprentices to learn some crafts, and then we will pass on this handicraft and rely on our own shop, so that even if you are not in office one day, a school has nothing to do with others, and we can take care of it and run it, so as not to give up halfway, what do you think?" ”
The idea is a bit of a self-produced and self-produced one, where I train my own talent and then send it to my own store to work and be in charge of distribution. (To be continued......)
