On the endless field, the red round sun hanging in the sky slowly sets, the clouds on the horizon are like the tide of the sea, lifting up to cover the red sun, a pair of figures, slowly walking in the direction of sunset.

As the sun fell, the sunset on the horizon gradually faded, and Yu Jiao and Yu Qiyu returned to Qingyu Village.

The smoke curling in the village, the people who were busy with the farm have returned home, and they saw Yu Jiao and the two on the road, both of them greeted each other warmly, and happened to pass by in front of Zhou Huai's house, the courtyard door was not closed, Zhou should have just come back from the field, and was squatting in the courtyard to wash his hands, and when he saw Yu Jiao and Yu Qiyu, she hurriedly stood up and greeted him warmly, "Meng girl, where have you been, fifth brother?" ”

Yu Qizhen said loudly, "Accompany her back to her parents' house to see her mother-in-law." ”

Hearing Yu Qiyu say this, Zhou couldn't help but feel that the relationship between this little couple was really good, although Meng Yujiao was a bought daughter-in-law, and now Yu Wulang is still accompanying her back to her parents' house, it can be seen that the Yu family really recognizes this family business.

With a smile on her face, she said affectionately, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Meng girl, I haven't thanked you for what happened last time, so now you two will eat at your aunt's house, and your aunt will give you pancakes to eat. ”

Zhou Huai also said on the side, "Your Aunt Zhou's baked cake is a must, it's not me who brags, you two come and taste it." ”

Yu Jiao smiled and politely declined, "No, the family has already cooked the meal, thank you Uncle Zhou and aunt, and I will taste my aunt's craftsmanship again when I have time in the future." ”

Hearing Yu Jiao say this, Zhou Huai and his wife had no choice but to give up and watch Yu Jiao and Yu Qiyu leave with a smile.

The two went home, the Song family had already cooked the meal, and Yu Qiaoshan took advantage of the empty time in the afternoon to make two oil-paper umbrellas, just waiting for Yu Qiyu to come back and paint on the umbrella surface.

Song asked Chao Yujiao with concern, "Are your mother and little brother okay?" What are they short of? If there is anything missing, let Uncle Mengshan and Qiyu send it to them again. ”

Yu Jiao smiled, shook her head and said, "There is no shortage of anything, there is food at home now, enough to eat for a while." ”

Song was relieved at this time, and said to the two, "Are you hungry?" Let's eat. ”

She went to the stove room to serve dinner, and Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhen fetched water and washed their hands next to the water tank.

During the meal, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door, and Zhou brought a plate of cakes that she had baked herself.

Yu Jiao didn't expect her to be so heartfelt, and specially baked a cake to send it, and got up to say thank you.

Song said that Zhou was at home to eat, Zhou waved his hand, and after the plate was freed, he left with a smile.

Yu Jiao tasted a piece of Zhou's baked cake, which was thin and soft, and there seemed to be eggs added to the batter, which was very chewy, fragrant, and indeed delicious.

After eating, Yu Qixing took the umbrella surface that had been pasted and dried on paper back to the house to paint, and Yu Zhixing also went to his room and made a picture with paper on the side, so that Yu Qixing could point out.

Yu Qiaoshan and several people are becoming more and more proficient in making oil paper umbrellas, Yu Zhixing made four or five sample paintings, after Yu Qixing's guidance, the matter of painting on the umbrella surface has been taken care of by Yu Zhixing, Yu Qiyu vacated the time, and these days are bored in the study to read.

Afraid of the dullness in the room, Yu Jiao filled the urn with water and made a simple vase on his desk, sometimes picking a cluster of wild flowers, and occasionally breaking a green branch and inserting it in the urn to decorate the room a little.

Yu Hanshan will close the stall early and go home to drink alcohol these days, except for the day when the stall was just set up, his pork sales are not bad, and these days are going downhill.

The people in the village are not able to eat meat every day, buy it once, and they can not eat meat for a long time, and the remaining half of the pig in Yu Hanshan has a taste, and it is not easy to sell it again, so much meat, pork and liver, and they are reluctant to throw it away, so they have to stay at home to eat.

Song blanched the flavorful pork several times in one go, so that the taste was not obvious.

After listening to Yu Jiao's suggestion, I put a lot of ingredients in the pot to marinate, and the taste of the marinade was unexpectedly good, and it couldn't be eaten at all.

The food at home is a lot better, there is meat every day, Song also used the method given by Yu Jiao to cool the marinated pig ears and liver or something, several men in the family like to eat, especially Yu Ruhai, recently almost a pause let people go to drink, on the braised meat and cold pork offal to drink deliciously.

When Yu Qiaoshan made more than 20 umbrellas, Yu Jiao looked at the sky and saw that it was about to rain, so they put the oil-paper umbrellas into the house.

In the middle of the night, a cool breeze blew and it rained.

The next day, the sky was not clear, Yu Qiaoshan Yu Zhixing and Yu Hanshan got up early in the morning and went to the town with oil-paper umbrellas, wanting to take advantage of the rain to sell the umbrellas made these days.

Due to the rain, Yu Hanshan couldn't go out of the stall, and the business was not good for several days, which made him very worried, so he also followed Yu Qiaoshan and a few people to the town, wanting to talk about business with those restaurants and restaurants to see if they could take care of the pork that needed to be supplied in the restaurants and restaurants.

In the evening, several people came back in the rain, only a handful of oil-paper umbrellas were left, and they didn't care about changing out of their wet clothes, so they couldn't wait to tell their families, "It's raining, our umbrella is very easy to sell, and there is only one left." ”

Zhang and Song were also very happy when they heard this, and each urged their men to go back to the room to change their clothes.

An umbrella of twenty wen, they sold twenty-one, earned a total of four hundred and twenty wen, changed their clothes, ate a hot meal, Yu Qiaoshan and his wife couldn't wait to divide the copper money, and sent the share of the second room over.

The second room of the big house made money, and they were all beaming, Zhao couldn't help but be a little red, and said to Yu Hanshan in the house, "Otherwise, don't do our pork stall, you follow the second room of the big house to sell umbrellas, if it's hot today, the pork can't be put away, if you can't sell it every time, you have to give it to the family to eat, why should we bother?" ”

Yu Hanshan followed Yu Qiaoshan and them to the town, and saw them earn so much money with his own eyes, although he also had a greedy mind, but in his heart, selling pork is the right business, selling oil paper umbrellas is just a small fight, and he has to eat according to the sky.

"What are you panicking about? I didn't do nothing when I went to the town this time, although I ate a lot of closed doors, but there was a noodle shop keeper who was very talkative, and I agreed with him that I would deliver the meat from their noodle restaurant in the future. Yu Hanshan said triumphantly.

When Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Really? That's great, if you can have a fixed customer, our meat will not be sold, you take advantage of the bad weather these two days, run more to the town, see if you can discuss a few more restaurants. ”

"I'm provincial." Yu Hanshan snorted, "The back kitchens of those restaurants are all purchased by the pipes, how can they be recruited so easily." ”

He didn't tell the Zhao family that the reason why this noodle restaurant was able to agree to let him send meat was because of Meng Yujiao's affection.
