There's nothing going on in the store today. It is waiting for the tables, chairs and benches to be delivered to the store. And Zhu Shaoyang is going to come and pull away the silk fabrics in the store.

On Tuesday, he went to the county seat alone.

Umeko bought some coarser paper yesterday. Put the store address. I wrote down the price of everything I bought, and I plan to advertise it for the snack shop.

Zhou went to a few good homes and ordered some side dishes. Look at what you don't have in your own field and set it in advance. When the time comes, just let people send it directly to the county seat.

I went to the village house and bought some eggs. After all, it is to open a store, and more than 30 a day is definitely not enough to sell. My own chickens can't lay so much. I had to go to the village and find someone to buy it.

If you want to meat, today Tuesday he went to the county seat to find a fortune teller to finalize the opening day. By the way, I went to Uncle Meizi's house to decide.

There was no beef in those days. Lamb is also scarce. Beef belongs to the labor force. It is illegal to slaughter cattle without permission, so it is difficult to buy beef in the market.

Meizi wrote these words and went into the kitchen.

I'm going to make noodles for everyone today, mainly because the weather is too hot. I don't have much appetite for anything else.

Plums scooped a spoonful of flour. Mix the flour well with warm water and knead well. Close the lid and let him rise.

Go to the backyard and pluck some side dishes yourself. Seeing the two little guys looking for insects to feed the chickens in the vegetable field, they consciously moved away.

The plums plucked some shallots. Picked a few tomatoes. I plucked a few more small cabbages that didn't grow.

"Sister, come over and take a look, the bug that my second sister and I are looking for is bigger."

The corners of Meizi's mouth twitched a few times when she heard this. I feel cold and swishing in my back.

"That. Sister won't look at it. I'm going to make you something to eat! After saying that, he didn't wait for the little one to answer. Pinching the food in his hand, he straightened up and ran to the front yard.

caused the second girl in the back to laugh.

Although the teeth of hatred are itchy, Meizi is too lazy to take care of her at this time. Leaving this place of right and wrong first is the last word.

Umeko came back and washed the side dishes. Blanch the tomatoes, peel them off and chop them finely. The shallots are also finely chopped, and the cabbage is twisted into two sections from the middle. Beat a few more eggs for later.

Umeko pours out the noodles that have woken up. Place on a floured cutting board. Roll out the dough into a thin slice. Fold it up afterwards. Cut with a knife along a knife. Finally, it opens up a slender whole noodle.

Meizi went out to take a look. Zhou hasn't come back yet. There was no rush to get out of the pot. I'm going to wait for Zhou to come back and get it. After all, the noodles will be lumpy if they are put for a long time, and they are not delicious.

Meizi saw that the potatoes in the yard should have been dug up yesterday, so Meizi picked up a few and peeled them and cut them into small pieces, ready to fry them later.

Meizi also felt distressed when she looked at such a hot day. I don't know what to eat, I don't have much appetite.

Suddenly, it occurred to me that I could pick the cowpeas in the vegetable patch and drown them into capers. When the time comes, the fried meat will definitely be delicious.

Meizi thought about it and started it, and came to the backyard to see that the sister and brother who had just caught insects were still teasing the chickens there, and they also felt helpless.

"Erniu, Bamboo comes over and helps."

"What are you doing?"

The second girl turned her head when she heard the voice and looked at Meizi suspiciously.

Help me pick the cowpeas, I'm going to pickle the capers and eat them.

Hearing this, the second girl happily jumped to Meizi's side. Without saying a word, he directly lifted the small basket next to Meizi and approached the vegetable field.

Meizi couldn't help but laugh when she looked at the bamboo standing in the chicken pen and didn't move for a long time.

Then he coughed lightly and opened lightly.

"Some people don't want to eat it, or how to say it. Don't you know that you can only have food if you work? ”

Zhou Zhu on the side of the chicken pen had a porcelain white and smooth little face. The tangled expression can be seen at a glance. A pair of delicate eyebrows wrinkled deeply because of the entanglement in their hearts.

Secretly turned his face sideways and looked at the plum diagonally behind. I saw the smile on Meizi's face. Suddenly quit.

He snorted heavily at Meizi and turned his head again.

Meizi suddenly felt funny.

"Well, I ignored you just now, and it was my fault. But how can you be angry because of this? ”

"Sister, you speak. You said yesterday that I was a little kid who didn't even have any hair. How did you become a man today? ”

When Meizi heard this, she suddenly felt a little speechless. It turns out that this child's memory can be so good. Plum couldn't help but smack her tongue.

"Tsk. All right! Because you have eaten a lot of rice today, you have grown a little taller! ”

The little guy heard what Meizi said, and opened a pair of big black eyes curiously.

"Sister. How much is a little bit? Have I really grown taller? ”

Meizi reached out and gathered her other fingers. The thumb and index finger leaked out, and it looked like a centimeter.

"Look, you've grown so much taller. I'll eat more noodles later. I can grow taller again. ”

The little guy spoke solemnly.

"Sister, I'll eat more later. Grow tall and be a real man. ”

Meizi looked at Zhou Zhu with a doting look on his face.

"Hmm... Well...... My bamboo is the best. ”

Sister, do you two want to pick it up? I'll have to pick it up for as long as I can!

As soon as Meizi wanted to answer, she heard Zhou's voice.

"Erniu, why are you picking so many beans?"

The second girl put the beans in her hand into the small basket she was carrying.

replied to Zhou's sentence. "My sister said she wanted pickled beans and fried meat for us to eat."

Zhou couldn't help but scold.

"It's all a bunch of little gluttonous cats."

"Hurry up and eat noodles. Otherwise, it will be a lump. ”

Meizi: "Mother, you cooked the noodles." ”

Zhou looked up in the direction of Meizi.

"Hmm. I cooked. I boiled the soup and ate it directly. ”

It turned out that Zhou came back just now. I saw that there was no one in the courtyard. I thought it was Meizi with these little guys. Went out.

But I heard the voices of several sisters and brothers talking from the backyard. Just know these few in the backyard.

Later, when I entered the stove room, I saw these things that Meizi had prepared. I know what the little girl is going to do. It's too lazy to call it a plum. I cooked the noodles myself in a few clicks. The soup was also ready. I also took out the mushroom oil that the plum had fried the previous time. Add a large chopstick head of dried mushrooms to each bowl.

"Let's go and eat noodles."

Meizi called in the direction of the second girl, and led Zhou Zhu out of the backyard.

Meizi poured water and washed the hands of the two.

Entered the hall.

While eating noodles, Meizi asked Zhou about grocery shopping. Zhou replied that it was okay.

Finish eating the noodles. Washed the dishes. Zhou took the Meizi sisters and brothers to take a look at the potato field on the hillside. Potatoes with no dead seedlings are dug up first. After all, it can be used as a dish when the time comes.

Zhou and Meizi digging potatoes. Two small ones, just picked up a small bug on the road.

Now I am digging a pit under a big shady tree to bury bugs and play. The two little ones had a lot of fun.
