After listening to Li's words, Zhang wiped his hand on his apron, and made a gesture to hit her, and then said: "You kid, we are doing so well, how can we not sell it?" Don't talk nonsense. ”

The look was quite serious, as if he was arguing about something.

Seeing this, Ruan Yuping hurriedly said: "Yes, how can the noodles made by grandma not be sold." Grandma, you can quickly fry the noodles, in case someone comes to eat noodles, it will not be good if there is no noodles. ”

Zhang listened to it, and then hurriedly fried it.

As if pinching a little, the Zhou family also took twenty baked cakes at this time, and asked Ruan Yuzhu to order a little bit and left. Her shop now has customers, and there is no room for delay.

Looking at the back of her leaving, Li said in his heart, this week's income is also hard money. Now I have made a batch of baked cakes, which shows how early I got up. Everyone knows that this baked cake is the most time-consuming.

As Zhang began to stir-fry all kinds of dumplings, gradually, the smell of the kitchen came out, adding a touch of mystery to the morning light market.

"Well, it smells so good, what is this doing? When did this shop open, why haven't I seen it? ”

"yes, I remember it used to be a spice shop."

"I guess someone has taken it down to make food."

In this regard, Ruan Yuping stepped forward and said: "Everyone, this is my family's newly opened noodle restaurant, specializing in hand-rolled noodles. You can eat just the noodles, or you can add a fried egg and pancakes. This is my grandmother's secret recipe, the ancestral secret recipe, the taste is very good, keep it for you to eat. ”

"In that case, let's go and order a bowl to try." The four people who had just spoken entered the shop as they spoke, and one of them ordered a bowl of noodles and a fried egg. Two of them even bought a baked cake because Ruan Yuping always recommended it to them, saying that this baked cake was just how delicious the soup was.

When Zhang heard that the guests were coming, he quickly threw the noodles that had been rolled out a long time ago into the boiling water of the Li family, and after a while, they came out of the pot. According to personal taste, pouring a thick rice dumpling and a Zhang's secret fried egg, Ruan Yuzhu served the noodles.

The noodles are snow-white, the dishes are turquoise, and the omelette is golden brown, and with the addition of red oil and chili seeds, it is pleasing to the eye just by looking at it. A few people took a bite and couldn't stop anymore.

The two who didn't buy the baked cakes saw that the other two were sweating profusely, so one of them also ordered a baked cake and ate it with noodle soup. For a while, the whole store was filled with the sound of "sighing and snoring". This voice was originally a little vulgar, but to the ears of the Zhang family, it sounded as beautiful as fairy music.

After the four of them paid the money, they left satisfied, and said as they walked: "This noodle is really good, I will come here to eat next time I come to sell vegetables." ”

"Isn't it, a bowl of noodles is down, and my whole body is warm."

Yuping took a wooden box to collect the money, and Yuzhu began to bring the bowl into the stove to wash. Originally, they had prepared a wooden bucket for food waste, but because of the baked cakes, the soup was drunk dry, so there was no food waste for the time being.

In this way, after opening up the situation, people walked in one after another to patronize. There are people like the others who come to the city early to sell vegetables, and there are also those who come out early in the morning after being hungry for food.

But no matter what kind of person they are, they are attracted by the fragrance coming from the shop. Zhang is right, her cheeks are very well prepared, with almost all flavors, and almost all customers who come to the store can find what they like.

In this way, in less than an hour, many people came to the store. In the end, because the shop was too small, some people had to stand outside and queue up.

As for the baked cakes, they had already been sold out, and Yuzhu hurriedly went to Zhou's shop and brought over another forty baked cakes.

Many people are eating fragrant food, and out of curiosity, they also ordered a roast cake and ate it with noodle soup, and it turned out that the taste was really good.

Therefore, although hundreds of guests came, Ruan Yuzhu did not collect any kitchen waste.

Zhou was surprised that the shop was selling baked cakes so quickly, so she walked out and took a few looks, and from her observations, the customers in the store were almost uninterrupted. Although it is now past breakfast time, customers still come to the store intermittently.

I don't know if it's because it was fresh on the first day of opening, or because the taste is really good, so it will continue to be good for a long time.

Zhou naturally hoped that it was the latter.

But, to tell you the truth, she tasted it last time, and she thought it was just like that.

In this way, he was busy until mid-morning, and Zhang was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist. Until there were no guests entering the door, Zhang came out with his waist and sat and rested, and said happily while beating his waist: "Xiuxia, the noodles are almost sold out, you hurry up and go to the vegetable market to pick up some vegetables and come back." While there's no one around, let's make a little more, and I guess I'll be able to sell some for lunch and dinner. ”

When Li heard this, he hurriedly got up and went to the second floor to get the silver, and then went to the vegetable market with the basket to buy vegetables. As soon as he walked to the door, he turned back and said, "Yuzhu, go and give your grandma a beating on the back." Yuping, pay attention to the vicinity of the door, your father will bring his younger siblings. They haven't been here yet, and I'm afraid they won't be able to find it. ”

It stands to reason that it should have arrived, but now there is no one to be seen.

"Hey, you hurry up and buy me groceries. He's a big man, where is he so expensive? There is a road under the mouth, I haven't been here, I don't know how to ask! ”

Hearing this, Li couldn't cry or laugh, but her mother really dared to say it. Thinking that if she didn't buy the vegetables back, she would probably be furious, so she trotted with the basket.

Seeing this, Ruan Yuping and Ruan Yuzhu covered their mouths and smiled. Their mother is also very powerful at home, but when she comes to Zhang's here, she is just as obedient.

Li thought that Ruan Dalang would come by car, after all, the four children were all young, and the youngest still needed to carry them. If he walks, he can't take care of it alone. If someone is naughty, it's over.

Who knows, Ruan Dalang really came with four children on foot. It is also thanks to the fact that the imperial court has spent a lot of effort to crack down on abduction, coupled with the previous national tour of the anti-abduction division, as well as the rapid development of the volunteer system in various places, and now the environment in the city is good, and it is difficult for Hanako to gain a foothold.

Otherwise, if it were to be changed, a person like Ruan Dalang with four children would easily become the target of Hanako. If you don't pay attention, the child is abducted by Hanako.

Last month, for example, one such thing happened in Yixian County.

A panicked adult hugged a child who was crying loudly, and let the child beat and cry, but he didn't let go. Seeing this, the shopper became suspicious, stopped the man, and inquired in every way.

Nearby volunteers also arrived, and asked the man to report himself to his home, saying that he was going to the county to verify his identity. Although it turned out to be just a misunderstanding in the end, it is enough to show that both volunteers and the general public have greatly improved their awareness of combating abduction.

It's okay if there are no anomalies, but if there is, they will be discovered immediately.

That's it, either this child poops or the other child pees, or another child says he can't walk. In short, there was no shortage of tosses along the way. Ruan Dalang took the child to the city with hard work, and sighed in his heart that it was so hard to take the child.

He couldn't help but think of when Li had just given birth to Ruan Yuzhu and Ruan Yuping, Li often stayed at home after confinement, saying that he needed to take care of the children, couldn't leave, couldn't go to work. At that time, he thought that Li was lazy, but now it seems to be true.

He just brought a little more during this time, and the Li family area has been more than ten years. Thinking of this, he was determined to be kind to the Li family in the future.

When they finally arrived in the city, the children were amazed at everything. Ruan Dalang had participated in that preaching, so he naturally knew that it was easy for him to lose his children. So I thought of a stupid way, tied the hands of several children together with the rope I brought, and pinched my head.

Such a spectacle attracted the laughter of passers-by, who felt that Ruan Dalang was both stupid and real. If someone wants to steal a child, where can a rope be tethered?

Finally arrived at the vegetable market, Ruan Da Lang looked east and west, hoping that he could see his own shop. Speaking of which, this is the first time he's here.

Ruan Yuping was sharp-eyed, and when she and Li were choosing vegetables at the door, they saw Ruan Dalang and several younger brothers and sisters. So she stood up, waved her hands and shouted, "Daddy, brother, we're here, we're here." ”

Hearing the familiar voice, several of the little ones laughed, spread their legs, and ran across the street. Ruan Dalang saw that Li was on the opposite side, so he let go of the rope with confidence and let a few children rush out.

He can't keep up with their speed.

Seeing this, Ruan Yuping hurriedly went to the Zhou family next door to buy a few baked cakes alone, and went to the next door to buy two bowls of dumplings, which allowed Ruan Yuzhu to take a few younger brothers and sisters to the second floor to eat and play.

The children went to the second floor, and the shop was quiet. Otherwise, there is no way for adults to chat.

Ruan Dalang walked around the shop and said hard work to Zhang, then walked to the door and sat down, and followed Li to choose vegetables together.

As soon as he sat down, Ruan Dalang asked, "How is it, is the business still successful?" ”

Li smiled and said, "Don't say it, business is not bad." Now it's past breakfast time, but there are few people, just noon and evening. By the way, did you have breakfast? ”

"Eat, eat at Daddy's."

The couple chatted like this, and suddenly someone came over and asked, "Boss, do you sell food here?" ”

Hearing this, Li said, "I'm sorry, we only sell hand-rolled noodles here." ”

Hearing this, the man shook his head and left.

Ruan Dalang said, "Why don't we also make some food to sell?" Some people like to eat noodles, while others like to eat. If you have food to sell, you can earn an extra portion. ”

Li said: "I can't be busy at all, just selling noodles like this, my mother is too tired to do it." Let's wait and see, let's try it for a month. ”

In this way, Li and Ruan Dalang chose the dishes, and Li followed Zhang's example to make the noodles, and slowly it was time for lunch.

Business is still as good as it was in the morning, if not better. It was busy until mid-afternoon, and everyone hadn't eaten yet.

When there were no guests at all, Li and Ruan Dalang were also tired. After thinking about it, Li said, "Yuping, you go to your Aunt Wu to buy a few bowls of dumplings and come back, I really don't want to move." ”

Noodles or something, they keep smelling and watching, but they don't want to eat it at the moment.

Several people ate a ready-made meal and continued to sell noodles in the evening. It wasn't until about eight o'clock that it was completely dark, and no one came.

Yuping looked at the baked cakes in the store, she had brought a total of sixty from Thursday today, and now there was not a single one left. According to the previous agreement, Yuping counted out the money for sixty baked cakes from the wooden box and went to the door to get it to the Zhou family.

Zhou counted them, and then took out thirty pieces from it and handed them to Yuping, and said that it would be the same tomorrow. As soon as Yuping left, Zhou wanted to jump up with joy. To say that today's baked cakes are completely earned for nothing.

When Yuping came back, a few people closed the shop, waited for a few small ones to eat, wash and sleep. By this point, they were too tired to speak. However, for the sake of money, there is still some excitement.

A few adults began to sit down and count the money, after all, today is the first day, and the money that can be earned is very important. As a result, after deducting the cost of buying vegetables and the consumption of firewood, oil, and salt, a total of 970 yuan was earned today.

"Hey, what a pity, it's almost a tael of silver." Ruan Yuping said with a look of regret. Hearing this, Ruan Yuzhu also nodded violently.

Li said: "Actually, there are one or two silver, we buy dumplings to eat at noon, and we buy baked cakes to eat at night." Also, when your younger siblings came, they also spent dozens of dollars to buy dumplings and baked cakes. By the way, I also bought some snacks in the afternoon. ”

A few children were hungry again in the afternoon, but the store was busy, so Ruan Yuping took them to the grocery store to buy some snacks, which coaxed the children.

Zhang is the happiest, feeling that he has realized his self-worth, and he still has this purpose when he is old, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is worth doing business in the city." Although I am a little tired, this shop is my own, and I don't have to pay rent. With all the money I earned today, how hard it would take to dig it out in the ground. ”

After listening to Zhang's words, Ruan Dalang also said with feeling: "Isn't it! I'm farming at home, and I'm tired and tired, and I don't know how long it will take to earn a tael of silver. Before, I didn't agree with Yuping buying a shop to do business. Now it seems that I am short-sighted. ”

Li smiled and said, "Isn't it! Look at you, you still dislike your daughter in the future. ”

Ruan Dalang said embarrassedly: "Okay, you go and rest, I'll wipe these tables, and I'll brush the bowls and pots, okay?" But you'll have to lay this ground for me, or I'll have no place to sleep tonight." ”

The men spoke again, and then went to sleep.

Early the next morning, several adults still got up early. Ruan Yuzhu slept soundly, and Ruan Yuping got up with the adults and helped out.

But Nguyen Ngoc Chu is not all useless. When a few children woke up, she took her younger siblings to freshen up and go outside to play. Xiaobao is the most familiar with the surrounding environment, and after a while, he played with the four children.

Thanks to yesterday's first shot, business today is still good, even better than yesterday. So I received a lot more food waste today than I received yesterday.

After lunch, Ruan Dalang was worried about the chickens, ducks and pigs at home, so he walked back to the village with two small buckets of kitchen waste.

In this way, the days passed slowly.

During this period, Ruan Yuping had almost learned the skills of hand-rolling dough. Although Li has not yet learned it, the taste of the rice he makes is excellent, not much worse than Zhang's.

Now the division of labor is also very clear. If the child is there, then Ruan Yuzhu is responsible for taking care of the child, and Yuping is responsible for helping Zhang's roll out the dough and collect the cash by the way. Lee's is responsible for grocery shopping and cooking.

Due to the addition of Li and Ruan Yuping, Zhang's suddenly became a lot easier.

Ruan Da Lang basically came once every two or three days, helping for half a day, sometimes a day, resting for a night, and then picking up kitchen waste to feed the pigs the next day.

During this period, Gong took advantage of Ruan Dalang to go home, followed Ruan Dalang under various pretexts, and came with his two children two or three times, but each time he ate white food. The angry Ruan Yuping wanted to drive them out, but was stopped by the Li family.

In Li's words, it's just a few bowls of noodles, not worth much silver, and it's not worth tearing your face with Gong because of this. Anyway, after enduring it for so many years, there is no need for this.

Gong gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the eldest son is twelve years old this year, about the same age as Yuzhu, but because he was held in the palm of Gong's hand, he became lazy to eat. As for the daughter, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and while gobbling up noodles and eating baked cakes, she stared at the beads on Ruan Yuzhu's head.

It's just that they also know in their hearts that this Zhang family is too strong and has a very high seniority, so they don't dare to take anything when they eat it.

And just like that, a month passed.

On this day, while Ruan Dalang was not in the store, Li took Yuping and Zhang to count the silver together. As a result, excluding costs, I made a net profit of eight taels of silver this month.

As soon as the profit came out, several people were very happy. Li Shi directly took out one or two halves of silver and stuffed it to Zhang's and said, "Mother, don't refuse, this is what you deserve." If it weren't for your help, we would still be farming in the village. ”

According to the previous agreement, Zhang's monthly remuneration was one tael of silver. However, Li Shi directly gave four taels, which was a bit much.

Zhang didn't refuse, thought about it and said, "Then the mother will accept it." Your younger siblings are as old as a day, and it will be too late to marry after next year. With this silver, my mother will not worry. ”

At this rate, the Zhang family can save twelve taels of silver in a year, which is a large amount of silver in the village.

Besides, Yuping said, this is still the least. Because she has already decided that when the harvest is over this autumn, she will sell all the pigs, chickens and ducks in the family. At the same time, sell part of the longevity fruit and buy a house nearby.

After that, except for returning home to grow crops, the rest of the time he stayed in the city to do business. She was already planning to start pushing out meals in the shop.

Zhang is also a smart person, and after taking the silver, he "invited" a day off to go back to the village, carrying the rice, noodles and meat that Li bought for him.

She left the village with hesitation and uncertainty about her future life. And now I come back, but I am full of confidence.

Feng also came to the store once during this period, ate a free meal of noodles and baked cakes, and after returning home, he was much better to his sister-in-law, brother-in-law and father-in-law.

She vaguely felt that Zhang's was about to turn over.

And today, seeing that Zhang's family came home with a lot of good things, she flattered her more attentively, and said that she was ignorant at the beginning, but she was just a quick talker, and she didn't want to break up at all.

After learning about the situation from his wife and children, Zhang felt that Feng was not so annoying, so he called her to a piece during dinner.

In this way, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional by the Zhang family, in short, within half a day, everyone in the village knew that Zhang's daughter Li Xiuxia rented a shop in the city, and called her to help make hand-rolled noodles, and the monthly reward alone was close to one or two silver.

What's even more eye-catching is that Aunt Wu, a well-known gossip queen in the village, found Feng and told her a big thing. This incident made the Feng family tremble when they heard it, and at the same time they were uncomfortable with the separation of the family.

It's just a pity that the houses of the Lu family and the Yin family are almost finished, and now it is absolutely impossible to let them move back to live. If there is no separation, no matter how much money the Zhang family makes, no matter how much benefit they get from the Li family, she will have a share.

Now, it's hard to say.

After all, the family has been divided, and the documents have been set up with the village chief, so it is useless to cheat. Except for being ridiculed by the villagers, he didn't get anything good.

Aunt Wu said to the Feng family: "Ouch, let me tell you, you don't know yet, your sister-in-law is capable!" ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart, and then said: "I know, her girl has been lucky, isn't she just getting the fifty acres of land rewarded by the above, and renting a shop in the city to do business!" My mother was helping out in the shop, so I knew about it. ”

Who knows, Aunt Wu looked disdainful, and continued with an expression that I knew it would be: "Forget about the shop or something, let me tell you, it's terrible, in the field of your sister-in-law's house, there are more than one acre of fresh things planted, I said, keep you surprised." ”

What kind of precious things can be planted in the ground, Feng Shi thought that this Aunt Wu has always liked to tell right and wrong, and it is not easy to offend if she asks about other people's privacy.

So, Feng pretended to be interested and said: "Ouch, don't sell your old days, tell me quickly, what is planted in the ground, it's worth your surprise!" ”

Feng said this, but in his heart, he didn't plan to hear any useful information.

Unbeknownst to her, Aunt Wu's words completely aroused her interest, and opened her mouth wide in shock. If it's true, that's too ......

"Let me tell you, your sister-in-law's field is planted with immortal fruits! That's as much as an acre of land. I've heard that this longevity fruit is very easy to feed, and one acre of land can harvest three hundred catties. ”

"What you said is true?" When Feng Shi heard this, he grabbed Aunt Wu's hand in surprise and asked nervously.

Feng had just made a quick calculation in his heart. She had heard of the longevity fruit, and it was said that it was very delicious, and the old men liked to use it for wine. It's just that few people can afford it because it's too expensive.

Even if it's ten taels of silver and a pound, that's ...... Oh my God, the Li family's one acre of land is worth three thousand taels of silver!

"It's true. Let me tell you, Wang Erniu, you know, she married near Ruan's house. A few days ago, when she came back to her mother's house, she told her mother about it, saying that the people in the village now envy your sister-in-law's family. The eldest daughter of her family is the one who suddenly became smart, and she also married the showman in the village! ”

After chatting for a while, Aunt Wu went back with a sense of success in spreading the gossip. It was Feng Shi, who stood there in a daze, with mixed feelings for a while, and the feelings in his heart were very complicated.

She finally figured it out, no wonder the Li family only came back for a while, and the Zhang family made up their minds to split up so quickly. It must have been planned by the Li family a long time ago and promised a lot of benefits to the Zhang family, so that the Zhang family was willing to divide the family, and they were divided so quickly and thoroughly.

Because the division of the family was extremely fair, she was often told by the villagers during that time, saying that she did not respect her in-laws or anything.

Now it seems that he has been calculated.
