Chapter 102: Xue Wuyi's thoughts

"You go and inquire about the newly built shop at the end of the street."

In the Chunman Building, Boss Gao sat in the elegant seat and pondered.

Two days ago, he went out to the field, and when he came back, he found that the place at the end of the street where the old things were piled up had been newly built.

This is what the businessman is most sensitive to, and the new shop, if it is a restaurant, is a huge threat to him.

"The shopkeeper is a little lady surnamed Liu." The people below came back after inquiring and said.

"Liu?" Boss Gao frowned. Hearing the answer of his subordinates, Boss Gao's first reaction was whether it was Liu Meiniang.

"What's your name?" Boss Gao asked.

"Liu Meiniang." The person below replied.

Boss Gao's heart sank suddenly, is Liu Meiniang going to open a store in the county?

"Hurry up and inquire again, what store Liu Meiniang wants to open."

A panicked expression appeared on Boss Gao's face.

"Good owner." The people below were commanded to go down. Boss Gao sat back in his chair.

Because the supermarket project has been under construction, Liu Meiniang often can't go home in the county, and the last time she and Zhang Li's family broke up unhappily, the two only said a few words when they met at home, and Zhang Jihan's brothers and sisters were anxious.

The construction of the supermarket must be watched, and Liu Meiniang simply stayed in the county and rarely went home.

Similarly, Zhang Jihan often doesn't go home, because Liu Meiniang can't be busy alone in the county. Originally, Liu Meiniang wanted to live in the inn, but I didn't know how Xue Wuyi knew about it, so she rushed directly to the inn and "kidnapped" her and Zhang Jihan to live in a small courtyard with two entrances.

"This yard is mine, but I don't live much either, if you and Ji Han don't go home during this time, you can live here, it's much better than your guest house, and you don't need to pay for money." Xue Wuyi's is of course, and Liu Meiniang's teeth are itching, which is really different from the rich people's worldview.

Liu Meiniang was not polite, and stayed directly, but Zhang Jihan was not very comfortable, and often told Liu Meiniang to go to the inn for the first two days of living in.

Liu Meiniang's vegetables have been harvested again, and Liu Meiniang is ready to plant again.

She and Zhang Jihan went to the seed store to look at the vegetable seeds.

"Little lady, all the seeds you want are wrapped, you can harvest them." The little girl carried a large paper bag and handed it to Liu Meiniang.

"Thank you." Liu Meiniang was about to go out with a paper bag, but suddenly remembered something and turned back again.

"By the way, little brother, do you have any chili seeds here?" Liu Meiniang asked.

"The little lady said chili? The little one has never seen it. The little guy thought for a moment and replied.

"It's about this long, pointy, and when it's cooked, it turns red, and the taste is very strong." Liu Meiniang gestured, but the little brother still shook his head in confusion.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Liu Meiniang's eyes.

"Brother Lao, if you see this thing in the future, you must notify me." When Liu Meiniang stepped out of the door, she said again unwillingly.

"Okay."

"Sister-in-law, what do you want that thing for?" After walking out of the seed store, Zhang Jihan asked.

"The taste of bitter pepper is too light, this pepper has more flavor than bitter pepper, and it is fragrant when cooking." Liu Meiniang said sullenly.

"Sister-in-law, I know that thing you said." Zhang Jihan's words attracted Liu Meiniang's attention.

"You've seen it?" Liu Meiniang asked.

"No, I've heard my eldest brother say it before." Zhang Jihan explained.

"Your big brother?" After Liu Meiniang came to the Zhang family, she rarely heard anyone mention Zhang Jirin, and everyone in the Zhang family seemed to be reluctant to mention Zhang Jirin. Liu Meiniang can probably think of why.

Zhang Jirin's departure was too big a blow to everyone in the Zhang family, and everyone usually tacitly agreed not to mention Zhang Jirin, probably because they wanted to make themselves feel better.

"Well, once the eldest brother came back to us and told us that when he went to war, there was a tribal alliance called something in the north......"

"Beijung?" Liu Meiniang prompted.

"Yes, it's Beirong, the eldest brother said, the people of Beirong, what they like to put in the meal is something called the red tip, that thing is put in the rice, and the taste is particularly strong, mainly because the soldiers there will eat it in winter, saying that the red tip will produce heat in the body, and it will not be frozen to death in winter." After listening to Zhang Jihan's words, Liu Meiniang can conclude that what Zhang Jihan said is chili peppers, but what shocked Liu Meiniang was that although Beirong is far away from Daqi, it is not as good as 108,000 miles.

"Okay, thank you Ji Han, I know." Liu Meiniang patted Zhang Jihan's shoulder and thanked the supermarket.

In the afternoon, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan took time out to load a carriage of things, and finally went home.

The carriage was bought by Liu Meiniang for the sake of convenience, a total of eighty taels of silver, and Zhang Jihan felt sorry for Zhang Jihan for a long time, but fortunately Zhang Jihan had been driving an ox cart before, and the carriage was also very fast, and Zhang Jihan quickly learned to set up a carriage.

The carriage ran much faster than the ox cart, and in the evening, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan had already returned home.

"Sister-in-law, you're finally back, I miss you." Zhang Dandan was stunned for a moment, and saw that the person who got off the carriage turned out to be Liu Meiniang, so he immediately rushed up and hugged Liu Meiniang.

"Sister-in-law also misses Dandan." Liu Meiniang scratched Zhang Dandan's little nose and said dotingly. Zhang Li also came to the gate when he heard the sound. After not seeing each other for half a month, Zhang Li glanced at Liu Meiniang, but still didn't speak.

"Mother, how are you doing at home lately?" Liu Meiniang asked while moving things.

"Everything is fine at home." Liu Meiniang's words broke the embarrassing situation between the two, and Zhang Li began to talk to Liu Meiniang.

"What's in this wagon?" Zhang Li lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked inside, it was full of things.

"I bought some white rice and white noodles for my family." Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan said while carrying things.

"The family hasn't eaten yet." Zhang Li pointed to the kitchen.

"Aren't you going to get it back when you get back?" Liu Meiniang smiled. Zhang Li is a typical ancient woman, very thrifty, careful budgeting, even if life is better now, Zhang Li does not allow the family to waste at all.

The two stayed at home for a day, and when Liu Meiniang went to the mountain the next day, the potato leaves planted on the mountain had already begun to turn yellow. Liu Meiniang estimated that the next time she came back, the potatoes would be dug up.

When the potatoes are dug up this time, Liu Meiniang is going to ask the village chief to distribute some potatoes to every household in the village, and just keep some seeds for herself.

Potatoes can indeed be grown as a staple food, and they are very easy to grow, even on the edge of a wheat field.

Potatoes can expand grain production, so that the people of Liuhe Village will not be so stretched thin.

In ancient times, farming was not like modern times, with various chemical fertilizers and phosphate fertilizers as auxiliary, but simply planted and harvested in autumn.

Because of this, the production of grain is very low, and a large part of it has to pay taxes to the state, so it has become a basic dream for people to be fed and clothed.

When Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan returned to the county seat again, the prototype of the supermarket had largely come out.

When Liu Meiniang came back this time, she also brought some vegetables and potatoes, and was ready to cook and invite Xue Wuyi to have a meal.

Xue Wuyi naturally couldn't ask for it, Liu Meiniang's cooking skills are indeed beyond doubt, Xue Wuyi has been thinking about it since the last time he ate at Zhang's house.

Liu Meiniang directly made potatoes into potato flour this time.

First cut the potatoes into shreds and wash them in water, but the water for washing shredded potatoes could not be poured out, Liu Meiniang found a basin and precipitated the thin white sediment that precipitated under the water for washing shredded potatoes. After repeating it several times, Liu Meiniang precipitated a lot of potato starch.

Then Liu Meiniang dried all the potato starch outside the window, and after all the potato starch was dried, Liu Meiniang mixed the potato starch again, and began to make shredded potatoes with the colander she had made before.

I didn't expect it to succeed all of a sudden, and Liu Meiniang's biggest feeling when she came here was that her hands-on ability was getting stronger and stronger. There are more and more things that will be done.

Liu Meiniang divided a part of the potato vermicelli and kept it for the recent eating, and put the rest all the rest to dry, and eat it when she wanted to eat it.

As soon as Xue Wuyi came in from the courtyard, he smelled a burst of fragrance.

"Mei Niang, what are you doing? It smells so good. The green pothos came in from the yard and smelled it, and she and Liu Meiniang were also very familiar with it now, and she asked directly when she walked in.

"I made pork stewed vermicelli." Liu Meiniang's staple food today is pork stewed vermicelli.

"Vermicelli? What is Vermicelli? Hearing something he had never heard before, the pothos was slightly stunned.

"This is it." Liu Meiniang took the pothos to the place where she stored her fans, and the pothos looked at the noodle-shaped thing made by Liu Meiniang, and her eyes couldn't hide her admiration.

"Isn't this noodles?" Pothos asked puzzled.

"This doesn't taste the same as noodles." Liu Meiniang felt that she couldn't explain clearly, so she directly let the pothos feel it when she ate it for a while.

In the evening, a large pot of pork stewed vermicelli made by Liu Meiniang was swept away.

"Mei Niang, what do you think about all day long, how can you figure out such a delicious thing." Xue Wuyi directly lay in the chair and asked lazily.

"I like to eat, so naturally I think about it more." Liu Meiniang replied with a smile

"Mei Niang, I haven't seen a woman as powerful as you." Pothos said with a chin on her back.

Although everyone knows each other very well, Liu Meiniang is still a little embarrassed to be praised by the two. Haha, no longer answering the questions of the two.
