Chapter 40: The Chick Wants to Stew Mushrooms
"Dad, this craft is still good!" Li Mingming scooped a bowl of mushroom soup to drink first.
Old man Li said proudly beside him: "It's your mother who is guiding you." ”
"Poof, cough, cough, I want water." Li Mingli suddenly coughed.
Old man Li: "Look at you like that, you haven't eaten for hundreds of years!" ”
Li Mingli took a sip of water and said slowly: "Dad, no, you can taste this dish, it's too good." ”
Zhao Yunlan put down her chopsticks one after another, "Slightly, it's really idle!" ”
Drinking water one by one, Li Mingzhi quipped: "Dad, this is also from my mother's guidance!" ”
Wang hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, your father's virtue, you listened to me well at first, and when the two dishes are finished, you will be proud!" He had to push me away, and I didn't bother to look at him like that, so I left, and he made up the next few dishes himself. ”
"Hahahaha, Dad, our family can't afford to eat salt like this now." Li Mingyi also joked.
Old man Li blushed and had a thick neck: "I can't stop your mouth when I eat, hurry up, don't eat if you don't like to eat." ”
A few children couldn't help laughing, and Zhao Yunlan had to take the dish and go through the water again, and then go back to the pot.
Old man Li sulked: "Hurry up and finish eating, pack it up and talk about today's situation." ”
By the time everyone sat in the hall again, Old Man Li had already closed his mouth with today's income.
"Hahaha, it's almost two taels of silver today." Old man Li said.
"Well, Dad, we have prepared a lot of tea eggs today, plus yesterday's old customers brought new customers, basically we know that our hot and sour noodles in the past three days are three cents, and everyone wants to catch up with the cheap price in these days. Today's pot helmets are also selling well, and many of them are packed and brought back. Zhao Yunlan said about today's situation.
Li Mingli continued: "Yes, I can't sit at the table today, and there are still many people waiting outside." ”
Li Mingyi: "I kneaded my dough and my arms twitched today. ”
Wang felt sorry for the children: "Well, you guys hurry up and go back to rest!" You'll have to wake up early tomorrow. ”
"Mother, sister-in-law, I think about building a bed in the cash cabinet after being busy these days, and I will rest there at night. Otherwise, I will carry a pot of eggs every morning, and I will have to get up early in the morning. ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Can you sleep there?" ”
Li Mingyi: "I've seen it, a person can barely sleep, so that I can sleep more in the morning, and you don't have to rush over." ”
Zhao Yunlan thought for a while: "Well, that's fine." ”
In ancient times, it was an hour or two to go to a town, and most of the time was spent on the road.
Zhao Yunlan thought about returning the village chief's money and asked Old Man Li to go and see the cattle, and then he could help with the farming.
One night it was another wet bed.
When Li Mingyi got up, his arm seemed to be more sore than yesterday, and Zhao Yunlan didn't get up, so Li Mingyi had to knock on the door next to wake people up.
In the upper room, the old man of Wang's Li was still woken up.
Only Xiaobao sleeps alone in the world of incense.
Last night, Zhao Yunlan only made 100 tea eggs, and Zhao Yunlan also told Li Mingyi that after today, only 60 eggs will be served every day in the future. After all, the eggs are sold and given away these days, and the one hundred and twenty yesterday are just right, and everyone is trying to sell so well with a fresh taste these days.
Moreover, there were no farms in ancient times, so it was really inconvenient to buy eggs, and they had to be collected one by one.
Farms, farms.
Zhao Yunlan was so excited that she almost rolled over the ox cart.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Li Mingmei asked, and everyone looked at her.
"I have another idea, so I won't tell you yet. Hahaha, I'm going to work hard today. Zhao Yunlan cheered everyone up happily.
"Come on!"
At the end of the day, Zhao Yunlan cleaned up and closed the shop.
"Sister-in-law, today is easier than yesterday." Li Mingmei said, after all, there was no wrong money today.
"Well, there are indeed fewer guests here today, after all, no matter how cheap it is, we won't eat it every day, and we are more skilled today, and we can clearly feel the decrease in guests tomorrow."
"But today, a few big families came to buy pot helmets and tea eggs." Li Mingli said.
Li Mingyi: "Yes, these big families have a lot of people. One buy is a dozen or twenty. ”
Li Mingming: "Hehe, these three days are over."
Zhao Yunlan: "Second brother, I said before that I called your brothers to come over to eat noodles, but I haven't asked you when I've been busy these days." ”
Li Mingyi: "Hey, the opening day came, and a few of them were too embarrassed to come in because they were busy, so I'll invite them to eat tomorrow." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Hey, after all, people came over to clean the shop before." You'd better go home tonight, and then come back tomorrow with your things. ”
Li Mingyi: "Yes! Let's go, I'll lock the door. ”
On the country road, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the five people are accompanied by the mooing of the old cow, talking and laughing all the way.
"Mother, father, we're back." Li Mingyi shouted, these three days are really fulfilling.
As soon as Li Mingmei entered the house, she said, "We earned 1,500 wen today. The income in the past three days is more than four taels, except for the cost of buying tea, seasoning, eggs and pots and stoves in the store, the net income is two or eight hundred."
Zhao Yunlan: "Well, tomorrow the third brother will take care of the family at home, my little sister and I, go and help for a few more days, and the second brother and the fourth brother will work harder." ”
Wang: "Having said so much, let's eat first!" ”
Li Mingming: "Today's dinner won't be made by my father again!" ”
Old man Li, who was originally happy, immediately collapsed when he heard this, and said angrily: "I can't eat you to death~"
Zhao Yunlan tasted it: "Today's dish is okay, the taste is moderate." ”
Li Mingzhi quietly stuck out his tongue, only Old Man Li was injured alone, and everyone else was happy to eat.
After the meal, Zhao Yunlan went to find Wang: "Mother, when I come back tomorrow, I will go to the village chief's house to repay the money, and when the time comes, I will ask my father and mother to come forward and talk about sweet potato noodles." ”
Wang: "Well, I know, you can come back tomorrow from the town to get some wine, and buy another piece of meat, which is thicker." ”
Zhao Yunlan: "Well, good mother." ”
Zhao Yunlan wanted to talk about the farm, but after thinking about it, it was not easy to take too big a step, so it was better to wait. I'm afraid that there is no support at home, and I won't be able to protect it when the time comes.
But! Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Mother, which family in the village has a little chicken, let's catch a few to raise, the old hens in the family are no longer able to lay eggs." "It's good for the stomach. Zhao Yunlan didn't say the last sentence, but the Wang family could also understand that the two old hens had been laying fewer and fewer eggs recently, and they could only kill and eat.
Zhao Yunlan thought about the chicken stewed mushrooms, that mouthful of fresh chicken soup, sucked ~ touched her stomach, and felt that she was hungry again.
Wang looked at Zhao Yunlan's expression and guessed what he was thinking, and hurriedly stopped Zhao Yunlan from fantasizing: "Ergouzi's family seems to have chickens, I haven't been out for a long time and I don't know, you let your brother go and have a look." ”
Zhao Yunlan was interrupted and nodded in response.
