Chapter 157: Mother-in-law is in good condition
Liu Wan decided to add the new house behind the old house, and the old house should retain its original appearance, just plain and ordinary.
In the future, a gate will be set up in the middle of the two courtyards before and after to prevent outsiders from entering, so that no matter how well they decorate the interior, they will not be peeped by outsiders and avoid the trouble of being envied.
"Xiao'er, when are you free, go to the mountain to see that there are peach trees and pear trees, move a few plants to plant in front of and behind the house, and beautify our home environment."
Wang Xiao is an obedient baby, he will naturally take his mother's words to heart, and he will immediately implement whatever his mother says, he said:
"I'll look for it in the mountains when it's New Year."
Wang Yi gave full play to his ability to study medicine, sprinkled some medicinal powder in front of the house and behind the house, and Liu Wan asked him what it was?
Liu Wan smelled a strong smell of realgar powder.
Wang Yi said: "Mother, this is realgar powder, which can repel snakes, and snakes will be more active in spring. ”
As soon as he said it, Liu Wan evoked the memory of the original body.
Indeed, there used to be a snake running into her bedroom, fortunately it was a non-venomous cauliflower snake, the room was dark at that time, and she stepped on it when she entered the room, and the cold touch still remains in her memory, making her shiver with excitement.
It seems that Wang Yi still remembers this incident.
"Mother, there are still some anti-epidemic medicines, how much sprinkled will have some effect." Wang Yi said.
In the afternoon, Liu Wan began to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
It's almost time for the children to clean up the home, the cleaning that should be washed, the sweeping that should be swept, and the whole home is refreshed from the inside out.
Liu Wan asked Wu Hui to boil hot water for everyone to bathe, saying that the Chinese New Year was going to be tomorrow, and her body should be cleaned up.
The children were very obedient, and after bathing, they changed into new cotton clothes, and they were cleaned from the inside to the outside, so that everyone's overall appearance improved a lot.
When Liu Wan was taking a bath, she suddenly remembered that the soap she had been thinking about making had not yet been made.
It's time to develop this business.
For such a relaxing moment, there should be a bath with fragrant essential oils and a soap to wash your hair.
Liu Wan soaked in the hot water so comfortably that she almost didn't fall asleep.
At this time, the sound of Wang Lian knocking on the door sounded outside the house:
"Mother, are you almost done? It's time for Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
"Alright, I'll be right here."
Liu Wan got up and got dressed as she spoke, she had tried her best to dry her hair, but it was still wet, and there was no way to dry it immediately without a hair dryer.
At this time, Liu Wan especially wanted to systematically paint a cake for her: a modern bathroom.
But now she can only postpone the enjoyment in order to open the storage space.
I wonder if there will be a hair dryer, soap, and shampoo in the bathroom sent by the system?
Liu Wan could only wipe her hair half-dry, and in order not to look too messy, she loosely tied her hair into a bun and tied her hair with a wooden hairpin.
Liu Wan didn't know that her lazy and leisurely dress added a bit of different femininity to her.
So much so that when Wu Hui saw her for the first time, she couldn't help but marvel that although her mother-in-law was over thirty years old and was already the age of tofu dregs, she was in a better state than her young daughter-in-law.
No wonder Butcher Zhou fell in love with his mother-in-law, who was much more charming than them seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls.
Wu Hui couldn't help but feel a little jealous, thinking that if she reached the age of her mother-in-law, would she be able to maintain such a good state?
In fact, the most important thing is that Liu Wan has a vigorous and upward vitality, which is the secret that keeps her from looking old.
"Mother, my food is hot, shall we serve it?"
Wang Xiao said respectfully to Liu Wan.
Liu Wan is an elder, she used to rely on ruthlessness to suppress the children, but now she relies on her ability to win the children's heartfelt worship.
The dishes of the Chinese New Year's Eve meal are very rich, and the staple food is bamboo shoots and large meat buns with meat filling;
Dumplings stuffed with shredded radish and pork;
A large pot of braised pig's trotters, oily, trembling pig's trotters make people can't help but want to take a bite;
Thinly sliced bundles of hooves, slices of crystal clear dipped in spicy sauce, chewy meat in the mouth;
In addition, there are fried taro paste cakes, thinly sliced brown sugar cakes, Qingming kueh, etc.;
matsutake pork rib soup, which is delicious;
The side dish is spicy cabbage and sour radish, which is greasy and oily.
There is a full table of these dishes, and they are all children's favorite dishes.
"Mother, the emperor in the capital may not eat as well as us."
Wang Lian was innocent.
"Haha!" Liu Wan smiled and said, "Maybe, I don't know if he eats well or not, but if the people of the world can eat like us, he will already be a very happy emperor!" ”
Liu Wan is a person who came from the peaceful and prosperous era, her daily life exceeds such a standard, and the people around her have basically reached such a standard of living.
People are no longer anxious about whether they have meat and food to eat, and more people are worried that they eat too much and eat too fat, which will affect their health.
Liu Wan used to worry about what to eat every day, of course, she was not worried about whether she could eat rice if she ate meat, but about how many carbs she ate every day and whether she wanted to eat less delicious meat.
Later, when the physical examination found that the body fat rate was high, she switched to a light diet, such as two eggs, a few slices of beef, buckwheat as the staple food, and boiled cauliflower.
The diet is so light, but it is a deliberate choice.
But when she came here, seeing everyone's life of not having enough food and clothing, Liu Wan felt that the original troubles could only be said to be a happy trouble.
"Sit down and eat!" Liu Wan greeted the children, "The red wine brewed for my sister-in-law's confinement has already been released, let's drink a small glass tonight to celebrate the New Year." ”
Liu Wan said, poured the red wine into everyone's glass, even Wang Li also had half a cup, the New Year, make an exception, everyone is happy together.
"Children, raise a glass, I hope that in the coming year, our Great Zhou Dynasty will be peaceful and peaceful, and our family will be able to build a new house, buy a store, and make the business bigger and bigger!"
Liu Wan said, taking the lead and raising the wine glass.
As soon as Liu Wan's words came out, everyone's eyes lit up.
The goal of building a new house is exciting, but buying a shop and doing business seems a bit too ambitious, right?
But such ambition is exciting!
Wang Xiao's eyes sparkled and he said:
"Mother, are we going to buy a shop in the town next year?"
"yes, we also have to have our own industry."
Liu Wan knows that she doesn't have the strength to compete with a restaurant like Wangjianglou now, if she opens a restaurant now, her strength is not enough, and she will be suppressed very badly.
Don't talk about others, Guan Shopkeeper is not happy, in his absolute realm, there is a competitive opponent, even if Liu Wan has a little friendship with him, he will ruthlessly suppress Liu Wan.
Business competition, whether ancient or modern, Chinese and foreign, is so cruel.
Liu Wan's business strategy is to open more small shops and make distinctive shops like barbecue.
In this way, they avoid head-to-head competition with big restaurants, and they will not feel that they have moved their cake, and they can also make money, earn survival points, and improve their lives.
