"Yao Yi, this is for you!" Han Wen took out the exquisitely packaged gift box and said.

"It's too expensive for me to take it!" Yao Yi saw the Omega logo and waved his hand again and again to refuse.

"This is for you!" Han Wen didn't expect that the gift he had carefully selected was rejected, he stuffed the gift box into Yao Yi's hand with some annoyance, and walked straight past Yao Yi into the courtyard.

"Alas! Han Wen ...... "Yao Yi didn't know why he was suddenly angry, so he hurriedly shouted behind him.

"Yao Yi, don't let down Brother Wen's heart, you don't know that this watch was bought for you by Brother Wen early in the morning when he went to the provincial capital!" Koto handed over the gift he had prepared and persuaded.

"Thank you!" Yao Yi sighed and put away the gift, returned to the kitchen and continued to help Li Mei cook on the fire.

Li Mei prepared eight cold dishes headed by pork head meat today, boiled fish, roasted chicken, roasted meat, fried two vegetables, and served the deboned duck soup that she thought was boiled, and then signaled to Yao Jianguo, who was greeting guests in the house, that she could invite guests to take a seat.

"Today is the day of our family's housewarming, thank you for coming, I will do it first to thank you for your support!" Yao Jianguo raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, and his heart was excited.

"Today is a festive day and must be drunk!" Zhang Quan raised his wine glass and touched it with Yao Jianguo, and drank it all boldly.

"Xiao Yao! You're settled in the South City! Congratulations! Tang Qi touched it and congratulated him sincerely.

"Uncle Yao, I don't know what to say, just a word of wish everything well in the future!" Even if he has changed his ways now, Jiang Kuan is still stunned, and he forgets the prepared words when he is nervous.

"Brother Yao, congratulations! ……”

"Congratulations, congratulations......!"

Compared with the men's table, the women's and children's table is relatively quiet and warm.

"Sister-in-law, this house is so good! There are also four-corner pavilions and ponds in the courtyard, which is just like the landlord's house in the old society! Liu Huihui said enviously.

"It's quite big, I never thought I could live in such a house in my life!" Li Mei looked around and sighed contentedly.

"Sister-in-law is a blessed one, a man will make money, and the child is obedient and sensible, your blessing is behind!" Liu Huihui praised.

"You are also a blessed one, I heard about ...... a while ago" Li Mei whispered into her ear, asking if what she heard was true or false.

"Thank you for the gift, I love it!" Yao Yi thanked Han Wen beside him.

"If you like it!" When Han Wen heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked up in a high arc.

"It's just too expensive!" Yao Yi continued.

"The gift is in the heart." Han Wen picked a piece of meat on the fish belly, and carefully picked the thorns and put them into her bowl and said, "Auntie, this fish is very delicious, you can taste it!" ”

"Oh......" Yao Yi obediently ate the fish, and then the bowl was sandwiched with the dishes he thought were delicious.

"Han Wen, you can eat it too, you don't have to keep clipping it for me!" Yao Yi always felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but she couldn't feel what was wrong for a while, so she had to refuse politely.

"Can you share a dish that you think is delicious?" Since Yao Yi doesn't let himself pick up vegetables, then Han Wen doesn't mind reversing the operation to understand Yao Yi's preferences.

"Ahh All right! Yao Yi felt that Han Wen was strange today, but he still obediently took some of the food he thought was delicious and put it in his bowl.

This warm room banquet was eaten until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, Yao Jianguo was completely drunk, his mouth was not stiff and he let out a hearty laugh, and was helped into the house by Li Mei to rest.

Yao Yi also sent away Han Wen, who repeatedly wanted to stay and help, put away the benches, leaving only the four that he usually used at home, put away the dishes and chopsticks, put them in a large basin and put them on the side of the well to soak, and swept away the rice and vegetable scraps that accidentally fell to the ground.

"Recruit another person?" Li Mei didn't expect that it was just to help Yao Jianguo wash his face, how could Yao Yi think of recruiting people.

"That's the case, Jiang Kuan needs to increase the amount of glutinous rice and braised rice wherever he needs to supply, I can still help you, but the meat in the braised rice needs to be pinched and cleaned, these all require a lot of effort, it used to be less, but now it is too late for you to do it alone with the supply of five or six hundred catties per day!" Yao Yi explained.

"But ......" Li Mei also knew this truth, but she was distressed about the money she had to ask for.

"I think Jiang Kuan means, no matter how large the amount is in the future, he can sell it out, we just spent a small amount of money to hire someone, but in the future, we will earn more than ten times the amount of money for a person!!" In fact, Yao Yi is right, now a worker's monthly salary is only sixty or seventy yuan.

"Okay, then I'll ask tomorrow!" Li Mei, who felt that what Yao Yi said made sense, no longer felt sorry for the salary of dozens of yuan, and decided to get things done quickly.

With Han Wen's reminder yesterday, Yao Yi deliberately went to the spicy hot stall today and ordered a bowl.

"How does it feel?" Han Wen asked.

"It's basically the same as my stall, but maybe in order to reduce costs and fight with my family, her family's soup is not willing to put the whole chicken, and the bones are also less, so the soup is a little bland!" Yao Yi picked some vegetables and put them in a small bowl, took a sip of soup and commented.

"This meat is a little old without sauce!" Yao Yi took a bite of the meat slice and couldn't help frowning.

"Yes! How can this business last? Han Wen frowned and judged.

"You can taste it, it is also possible that my taste buds have deviated from the too much I ate at noon!" Yao Yi was afraid that her judgment would be a little biased because of her family's business, so she took an empty bowl for Han Wen to evaluate.

"The soup is a little bland, but it's very fresh!" Han Wen took a sip of the soup and tasted it in his mouth before swallowing it.

"The meat is not as tender as your home! But there's nothing wrong with it overall! Han Wen concluded.

"Yes! I took a look at the area and it has already attracted a lot of customers! Yao Yi also knows that whenever something similar appears, most people will subconsciously choose the cheaper one.

"Don't worry too much, it's all about the taste of food! Maybe you will be attracted by such a small bargain at the beginning, but after a long time, you will know what is good! Han Wen couldn't think of any way to solve the current problem, so he could only sigh with relief.

"Thanks, I'm fine!" In fact, because Jiang Kuan has increased the volume, Yao Yi doesn't particularly care about the small number of customers missing from the Malatang stall, but this incident reminded her that since someone can imitate Malatang, it is so difficult to guarantee that there is no one, and the idea of glutinous rice and stewed rice is branded.

Before closing the stall in the evening, Jiang Kuan came over on time to hand over the funds. Yao Yi shouted to stop him who took the money and turned to leave.

"How much can you sell in a day?" Yao Yi decided to sell a large amount of it for cash before there was no counterfeiting.

"How?" Hearing this, Jiang Kuan realized that something was happening, and he hurriedly asked.

"See that stall?" Yao Yi did not answer the rhetorical question.

"What's the Malatang stall?" Jiang Kuan didn't understand what this had to do with him.

"Someone imitates Malatang today, so it won't be long before someone imitates glutinous rice and stew!" Yao Yi affirmed.

"This ...... What to do? Jiang Kuan now basically has an income of fifty or sixty yuan a day, and he was anxious when he heard this.

"I'm ready to sell in large quantities before those people even start, and I can earn money while winning the market." Yao Yi explained.

"Okay, I'll find some more people tonight!" Jiang Kuan also knew that it was the time to inch the hour, so he immediately said.

"It's not bad for half a day, the day after tomorrow will officially start!" Yao Yi plans to go back tonight and urge Li Mei to find two more people, striving to make more money before being copied.

When Yao Yi went home and told him about the matter, Yao Jianguo and his wife both knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said that they would definitely recruit someone tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

The next day when she went to school, although Yao Yi had always remembered this in her heart, she also knew that no matter how anxious she was at school, it would be useless, so she could only suppress the restlessness in her heart.

"Did you get it?" Yao Yi asked as soon as he entered the door.

"Rest assured you've found it! One is Duoduo's mother, and the other is the surname Zhang introduced by your Uncle Tang! Li Mei said.

"That's good, where's my dad?" Yao Yi glanced inside the room, but didn't see Yao Jianguo, so he asked curiously.

"Your dad went to find your Uncle Li and Uncle Zhu, and wanted him to send things directly over a while ago!" Li Mei explained.

Yao Yi knew Uncle Zhu and Uncle Li in Li Mei's mouth, one of them was selling pork and the other was selling soy products, so she didn't ask any more, and ate after the meal.

The next morning, when the moon was still hanging on the branches, Yao Yi heard someone knocking on the door, and she took her watch and looked at it, and it was only half past four. When I got up and listened carefully, I heard Li Mei say a few words, followed by the sound of moving things into the yard.

"Mom, who!" Yao Yi shouted.

"Your Uncle Zhu and Uncle Li sent something!" Li Mei replied, and then whispered something to the people around her.

By the time Yao Yi came out after washing, Uncle Zhu and the others had already packed up and left.

"Why don't you sleep more?" Li Mei feels sorry for her daughter, who has to go to school at a young age, and has to work hard for the family's livelihood, and she is always careful every time she gets up.

"Get up when you wake up!" Yao Yi stretched her waist and stretched her body, looked at the pile of pig's heads and pig's feet that were pushed by the well, and said, "Mom, go and get busy with rice first!" ”

Yao Yi filled the basin with water, turned on the lamp in the yard, took a pig's head and cleaned it, and then carefully and carefully pinched off the pig's hair with tweezers.

Yao Yi shook off his wrist that was a little sore because he had been working hard, but he was still glad in his heart, fortunately, the pigs in this era were killed when they were relatively fat, and the soft hair was relatively less, otherwise there would be a bunch of pigs' heads and pig's feet, not to mention that two more people would be added, even if two more people were added.

"Jiang Kuan, I've worked hard for you from today!" Yao Yi and Jiang Kuan put the three baskets containing the rice into the tricycle, and said solemnly with a serious expression.

"Don't worry, it's all about the money!" Jiang Kuan replied as a matter of course.

"Then come on, I wish us all a lot of money and money!" Yao Yi was amused by his words, so she smiled and sent her blessings.

"Okay, just wait and count the money tonight!" Jiang Kuan got into the car and jumped out as soon as his feet were forced.
