"I asked Xiaoyu, it costs you sixty a month for you to invite her, instead of giving this money to outsiders, it is better to give it to me, I will stay and bring you a baby."

It turned out that two days ago, Qin Jinlian curiously asked about Sister Yu's salary, and when she learned that there were sixty yuan a month, Qin Jinlian was envious in her heart.

She is more than ten years older than Yu Hong, Yu Hong does these jobs every day, she will, Yu Hong can earn sixty a month, why can't she earn?

Anyway, there is no work in the field in winter, and she is also playing when she goes home, so it is better to stay in the city to help her daughter take care of the baby, earn sixty a month, and earn one hundred and two in two months.

When spring begins, she will go back to farming without delay.

Qin Jinlian thought about it, but she didn't want to think about it, she worked for two months and left, where would Shen Mingzhu go to hire someone to take over her class.

Although Shen Mingzhu was speechless, he was not too angry.

Qin Jinlian is willing to work by herself to earn money, it is better than reaching out and asking her directly for money.

After thinking about it, she said to Qin Jinlian: "If you want to stay in the city to make money, I can think of a way for you, but if I want to quit Sister Yu and invite you, it is absolutely impossible." ”

……

Seeing Qin Jinlian come back, Shen Jianguo put down his legs sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and beckoned Qin Jinlian while putting on his shoes: "Pack up your things and go back." ”

Although the two elders entered the city empty-handed, in the past few days in the city, the two brothers of the Shen family and Pei Yang have bought a lot of food and clothing for the two of them.

"Go back by yourself, I won't go back."

As soon as Shen Jianguo heard this, he became angry, "Don't go back?" Do you still want to rely on your daughter and son-in-law for the rest of your life? ”

Qin Jinlian proudly showed off to her wife, "I want to stay in the city to earn money, and when the Chinese New Year comes, I will go back with Chaobei and them, you go back first." ”

Shen Jianguo was stunned.

A trip to the city and lost your wife?

Under the guidance of Shen Mingzhu, Qin Jinlian set up a small stall at the door of the noodle restaurant opened by the Shen Chaobei brothers, selling fried stinky tofu and starch sausages.

In the cold winter, the stinky tofu is fried in a pan of oil, fried until crispy and poured with a special sauce, which can attract all the cravings in the street.

There are also starch sausages, marked with beautiful knife flowers, fried in oil until the outside is charred and tender on the inside, dipped in cumin powder and chili powder, and the greedy child next door drools.

Since then, Qin Jinlian has been busy setting up food stalls to make money every day, and she has no spare time to bother Shen Mingzhu.

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the day of light snow.

Shen Mingzhu used half a day to finish the work at hand, and then went to the vegetable market and took a lamb hind leg that he had ordered with the butcher in advance.

In the cold winter, she planned to invite Zhong Jing and Yan Yi to eat shabu mutton.

With her current ability and economy, coupled with the current environment, the ingredients she can buy are only chickens, ducks, fish and shrimps, which are too ordinary for families like Zhong Jing and Yan Yi.

If you eat mutton shabu, at least in Fengcheng, it is relatively fresh.

After lunch, Shen Mingzhu began to process the leg of mutton.

First, remove the meat of the three parts of the big three forks, cucumber strips, and grinding crotch, put them in the refrigerator freezer to freeze, and then cut them into thin slices after freezing hard.

As for the mutton bones and other mutton, they are simmered together with the pork bones, chicken, and medicinal herbs until the soup is as white as milk.

In addition to eating shabu mutton with rich side dishes, it is also indispensable to have a soul dipping dish.

Sesame paste, leek flowers, tofu milk, stir-fried sesame seeds, sugar, chopped green onions and coriander.

In fact, when Shen Mingzhu used to eat shabu mutton, he also liked to add a little millet spicy.

It's a pity that you can't buy it here, and she's still breastfeeding, so she can't eat spicy food.

Shabu mutton should be eaten while shabu, for this reason, Shen Mingzhu also specially bought a round table, which was hollowed out in the middle, and an iron frame was welded at the bottom in order to place the charcoal copper pot.

Pei Yang also called it a day early and went home to help arrange and prepare side dishes.

At around 7 o'clock, Zhong Jing and Yan Yi arrived as promised, along with Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan was still cynical, and he joked with Shen Mingzhu when he entered the door, "Mingzhu, you are not kind, please don't call me for dinner, fortunately, I am thick-skinned and came by myself." ”

Shen Mingzhu smiled, "Okay, it's my fault, the main thing is that there are no good dishes to entertain, I'm afraid that Ning Shao will not be happy." ”

"You are humble in saying this, it is not easy for others to say, but you Shen Mingzhu must be different."

Ning Yuan was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, and he was tired of eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the things that Shen Mingzhu made always had a strange appetite for him.

While speaking, Ning Yuan had already smelled the smell and walked to the dining room, looking at the steaming snow-white soup base in the copper pot, and rubbing his hands excitedly.

"Yo ho, eat shabu mutton?"

Shen Mingzhu showed Zhong Jing and Yan Yi a seat, and explained with a smile: "It's cold, and you can't buy any good ingredients in the market, so I just invite you to eat a meal of mutton shabu, at least it can warm up." ”

Zhong Jing replied to her with a smile, "I haven't eaten shabu mutton for two years, so I just want to taste it." ”

After everyone sat down, Shen Mingzhu served all kinds of small ingredients packed in small bowls.

These small ingredients are richer than the authentic shabu mutton that Ning Yuan ate in the capital.

Under Shen Mingzhu's introduction, they each blended their favorite flavors.

The paper-thin lamb is put into the snow-white soup pot, picked up after a few seconds, dipped in the dipping sauce and eaten in the mouth, the inner quality is tender and juicy, mellow and no smell, it is simply supreme satisfaction.

In addition to shabu mutton, Shen Mingzhu also prepared honey-grilled pork chops and roasted pigeon.

Because Pei Ziheng doesn't like to eat mutton.

After eating, Pei Yang cleaned up the dishes, chopsticks, cups and plates, Shen Mingzhu led Yan Yi and Ning Yuan to visit their new home, and Zhong Jing teased Xiao Guoguo on the sofa in the living room.

As early as when Shen Mingzhu was confined, she had been here several times, and she was no longer familiar with Shen Mingzhu's new home.

After the visit, several people sat in the living room drinking tea and chatting.

Although Wang Hongcheng has been subdued and the food factory has resumed production, the loss of cooperation with the two state-owned shopping malls is also a big loss for Shen Mingzhu.

When Yan Yi asked if he needed help resuming cooperation with the two state-run shopping malls, Shen Mingzhu politely refused.

With the reform and opening up and the transformation of the economic model, state-run shopping malls will soon decline, and eventually they will either be restructured or close down.

Her original plan was to first take advantage of the reputation and popularity of state-run shopping malls to open the market, and then build a self-operated store when the time is ripe, so that it is more stable and steady.

But now that the cooperation with the two state-run shopping malls has failed, she simply opened the store directly.

In the next few days, in addition to his daily work, Shen Mingzhu spent the rest of his time on market research, as well as stores and site selection.

After a period of investigation, Shen Mingzhu fell in love with three places.

After considering many parties and the opinions given by the people around him, Shen Mingzhu rented a shop in the downtown business district.

The overall area of the store is about 80 square meters, and Shen Mingzhu plans to divide it into a sales area and a baking area.

Freshly made and sold every day, the partition wall is directly made into transparent glass, so that customers can see the food production and production with their own eyes.

Just when Shen Mingzhu was busy with the decoration design of the store, something happened to the noodle shop of the two Shen Chaobei brothers.
