A new family moved in Luoguo Lane, there is no father and mother, there are two girls in the family plus a boy who has never shown up.

The one who bought the house for their family, I heard that it was the second brother-in-law of the family, and he was also a bit famous in the town.

Most of the residents of Luoguo Lane have lived here for many years, and some have even lived here for hundreds of years. The original owner of the old house they bought was one of them.

The town's popularity has withered in recent years, and it has only gotten better after the official road was connected last year. But the people who came and went were familiar faces, and the caravans were at most at the entrance of the town, and they had to leave after staying overnight.

Seeing that the town would lose a lot of population if this continued, the mayor applied to repair the river in the town. With this channel, water transport can be reopened.

It's just that the mayor of the town has thought of a lot of ways, but the county magistrate disagrees, saying that the county treasury has no money and there is no way to rebuild the river, unless the town raises its own money, they can send conscripts.

Restoring a river is not something that can be done with a small amount of money. The mayor had no choice but to continue to sigh as he watched the town lose popularity.

It is also because of this that anyone who is willing to go to the town to buy a house to do business, the town will not make it difficult at all, and even take the initiative to help.

On the day of the opening, the second brother-in-law invited a lot of friends to come over to warm up, plus a group of friends and neighbors of the eldest brother-in-law of the Wei family, the opening of the small store was also very lively.

In addition, Wei Jin also specially sent invitations to the caravan stewards who had cooperated well before, inviting them to come to the store to taste the food.

Although it was just a hot powder shop, when it opened on the first day, Wei Jin did everything he could, and he was stunned to make a table of dishes no less than the best restaurants in the county to entertain the VIPs.

Limited by the shackles of seasoning and her own cooking skills, in fact, her craftsmanship can be seen in the county, and if she really goes to a bigger state capital, the ones she makes can't be on the table.

Although there are many restrictions on big dishes, Wei Jin's specialty is actually a variety of dim sum. At the beginning, she went to you specifically to learn, both Chinese and Western dim sum, but now this technical limitation, most of the Western dim sum is not to think about, and the Chinese ones can still be made a little.

Today's after-dinner snack is mille-feuille chrysanthemum cake and red dates and wolfberry buckwheat cake. In addition, crispy fried tofu balls, salt and pepper river shrimp and so on are excellent with wine. After a feast, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

On the second day, someone came to eat hot powder and pot helmets.

There are several kinds of toppings for hot powder, meat and vegetarian ones, and even pot helmets are four or five varieties, which are the same for one day, and they are not repeated for several days.

The price set by Wei Jin is not high, and the full meal is only twenty or thirty wen, and it is still big meat. If you want to save, you can eat some vegetarian food, and ten pennies can fill your stomach with soup and water.

In fact, the main thing she invited those caravans over was not to open a hot field for her own shop, she just wanted to show off her candy-making skills.

Yesterday's chrysanthemum cake and buckwheat cake used sugar, and later they were also given sugar and oil fruits, which are small snacks that can only be made with heavy oil.

The result of this effort did not disappoint Wei Jin, and she received several invitations after the banquet, probably all of them wanted to talk to her about the "brown sugar" deal.

The sugar was boiled out at home a few days in advance, divided into small bowls, poured out after cooling, and put it upside down on the sieve, and placed on the stove, so that people in and out could see that she was making sugar and oil fruits directly from the bowl of sugar.

Sugar, like salt, is an important commodity for people's livelihood. The imperial court did not allow the sale of sugar and salt privately, but it was no longer included in the list of making and eating it yourself.

The mayor of the town also saw that he was old and refined, and he immediately discovered the business opportunities in it.

A few days later, the mayor of the town called Wei Jin's second sister and second brother-in-law to the house to talk.

After Erhua'er received the news, she was at a loss.

She was shaking as she held Wei Jin's hand.

"Sanhua'er, you say, what did the mayor tell me to do? I don't know anything! ”

"Second sister, don't worry, the mayor won't deliberately embarrass you and your second brother-in-law when he asks you to go. If you have peace of mind, you should just go to the elders and be respectful. ”

Although Wei Jin tried her best to give her a good luck, Erhua was still a little weak.

"So, I'll give my sister a tip, and if you don't know how to reply, open it and take a look."

Erhua pinched the purse given by her sister, and her heart was finally a little more stable.

She was led by her husband into the mayor's house through a side door.

After the salute, the mayor beckoned them to sit down and talk.

"I invited the two of you to come this time, I really want to ask the second lady to tell the old man that the bowl of sugar was made by the second lady?"

"Bowl of sugar?" Erhua was stunned for a moment, "Can the mayor say that the brown sugar?" ”

"Brown sugar?"

"That's what my third sister learned from books." Erhua was nervous, and everything shook out, "The third sister exhausted the family property left by her father and mother in order to buy a house, and wanted to save for her younger brother, so she found a recipe from the book, saying that this kind of sugar has no bitter taste and is durable." ”

Taste-free aside, it's true that it is resistant to put-and-put put.

The mayor of the town has been observing her stove for a few days, and the bowl of sugar is stacked on top of it, and it does not melt for several days, and only a knife is used to cut it off.

Erhua also brought Eli Lilly when she came, and there happened to be a wrapped bowl of candy inside.

When the mayor heard about it, he couldn't care about being rude, so he took a bowl of candy and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, the layers are clear and delicate like sand, knocking a little into the mouth and melting, the taste is pure and sweet.

"The old man has a deal to discuss with the two of you."

Sure enough, the mayor of the town saw a business opportunity and wanted to buy the recipe for making sugar and build a sugar mill in the name of the town.

Erhua hesitated, this recipe was not hers, and she couldn't do anything to say that her sister's things were her own.

As for the second brother-in-law, he didn't say a word, and when asked, it was owned by his wife's maiden sister, and he had no right to make any decisions.

This is true, after all, the law is very strict about a woman's dowry, and the husband's family is not allowed to embezzle a woman's dowry without reason.

Erhua hesitated for a while, excused herself for the opportunity to go to the toilet, and took out the bag to take a look. There is only one word on it: yes.

Although Erhua doesn't have much knowledge, she understands her sister's heart very well, and this is Sanhua'er had already guessed that there would be this in advance, so she should come down.

Back in the front hall, Erhua nodded decisively, just saying that if you want to talk in detail, please go to her third sister.

"As soon as I got married, I came to the town to make a living because of the light of my sisters. I would never dare to make any decisions for my sister. ”

The mayor of the town can come to the door, and he must have investigated the situation of their family beforehand, and he also knows that Sanhuaer is not her own sister. It's just that I didn't expect that stupid and stupid girl to be literate.

Since Erhua had already said so, the mayor didn't embarrass her, chatted with the two of them for a while, and then sent the guests away.

After going back, as soon as Erhua'er said this to her sister, Wei Jin laughed.

"Since I have asked my sister to answer you, the mayor of the town will agree to any conditions. You've taken the mayor of the town this time. ”

Erhua didn't understand, and Wei Jin didn't explain to her in detail, but only reassured her that this was a good thing, and maybe Dabao's future would be stable in the future.
