Chapter 34 The Uncle's Complaint

Naturally, Ye Xinyan didn't know what the villagers were talking about about her house. The family of three entered the house, it was almost noon, and it was time to make lunch.

Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan packed up the things in the car, took down the utensils that needed to be washed, and the tables and chairs that needed to be carefully wiped down, and immediately started to clean up, there were quite a lot of things to do.

As soon as Ye Xinyan pushed Qi Younian into the room to rest, Qi Yougui walked into the courtyard, and before entering the house, he asked loudly, "Boss/Second, are you back? How is the business today?"

This is because they are worried that their business will not be good, and they will not be able to sell, right?
Ye Xinyan thought it was funny, and hurriedly moved her uncle into the room, "Uncle is sitting in the room, and my grandpa just went in, so you and my grandpa have a chat, otherwise grandpa won't be able to sit still."

Sure enough, Qi Younian, who had just sat down, heard the elder brother coming outside, and had already come out to meet him.

Qi Yougui waved at him again and again, "They are all from my own family, so there is no need for so much etiquette. You are not too young, and you have been tired for a long time. Hurry up and rest on the kang, and let Ye Zi worry about you for nothing."

The two elder brothers sat down on the kang, and Qi Yougui was really worried that their small stall would not be able to open, so he came to ask about the situation of the stall.

Nanny Jin served two bowls of rough tea to the two old men.

Qi Younian pushed the tea bowl to Qi Yougui, and explained: "It's the first day we set up a stall today, and it sold cheaply, so it sold well, but it didn't make much money."

Qi Yougui immediately looked sad: "How can you sell it cheaply? When you raise the price tomorrow, people will not agree. What if someone makes trouble or doesn't come to patronize?"

Qi Younian smiled and said: "No, we set up a stall to do business in a serious way, and paid money to the officials in charge of the market in the yamen. We are not afraid of making trouble. We have also told the people who patronize today that the first day is for everyone to taste Taste it, that's why the discount is offered, and the original price will be restored tomorrow. Don't worry, brother, nothing will happen."

"That's good. We are all poor people. We don't have any backers or acquaintances in the county. If you set up a stall to do business, you must be very careful not to offend anyone."

A farmer like Qi Yougui has been dealing with the land all his life, so he won't go wandering in the county town if he has nothing to do, and he really doesn't know about the business in the county town.Hearing Qi Younian's explanation so casually, he hesitated to believe it.

The two of them drank tea and chatted. Around noon, Nanny Jin finished the lunch.

Qi Younian said to Ye Xinyan who came in: "Yezi, go to your uncle's house and tell your uncle that his uncle's lunch is here for us, so they don't have to wait."

Qi Yougui declined and said, "No, I'll go back to eat. Your father got up three early in the morning and was tired. You can rest early after eating simply."

"Brother, you don't come here anyway. I finally got some free time today. The two of us chatted just right. The elder brother has to stay if he says anything. After lunch, I won't be too late. I have some corn left over from selling rice tofu today." Spreading the flowers, the taste will not be good tomorrow, and they will not be sold. Let's eat it at home, and the elder brother will also try the taste of this special pancake."

Qi Younian sat down next to Qi Yougui.

Qi Yougui looked at Ye Xinyan again, and he ran away in a hurry, so he had to sit down again.

After lunch, Qi Yougui sympathized with the hard work of the second brother's family, and left early to go home.

Ye Xinyan also persuaded Qi Younian and Nanny Jin to put down their work and take a good nap.

This business has to go on for a long time, and you have to get up to do things before [-] o'clock every day, and you must sleep well, otherwise, even if you earn a few money, you will be exhausted, and it is not worth it.

After the afternoon nap, Ye Xinyan and Jinmao began to prepare for tomorrow's stall, grinding rice milk, making toppings, and neatly arranged bowls, chopsticks, and pots.Qi Younian took care of the barn and donkey cart, and took care of the donkey's fodder and water.

The three of them were busy, Qi Yourong walked in from the outside, walked up to Qi Younian, and joked with a smile: "The second brother only cares about getting close to the eldest brother, and forgets about the third brother."

Ye Xinyan stepped forward and took the bucket for the donkey from Qi Younian's hand, "Grandpa is going to talk to uncle, I'll do it."

"Yourong is here." Qi Younian greeted Qi Yourong, hesitated a bit, and handed the bucket to Ye Xinyan.

Qi Younian and the two walked into the house, and Qi Yourong continued what he said just now: "I heard that the eldest brother had a good meal at your place at noon, and you two didn't think about me. Do you think of me as your brother?"

A few words made Qi Younian dumbfounded, "It's just that it's just in time for dinner, and it's worth your seriousness to have a meal together."

Qi Yourong hummed vaguely, sat on the kang and asked, "What do you eat for dinner? I heard that your corn pancakes are soft and delicate, and delicious."

When Nanny Jin who brought the tea bowl heard this, her footsteps stopped. It was because she heard that Mr. Dafang had lunch at her house.

The corn stall flowers eaten at noon are the few remaining from the early stalls.Spreading flowers need to be fermented after the corn batter is fermented. If you want to eat it for dinner, it is too late to prepare it now.

Qi Younian took the tea bowl and handed it to Qi Yourong, and waved his hand to let Nanny Jin do the work by herself.

Then Qi Yourong said indifferently: "The tortilla that brother ate for lunch is left over from the morning sale, and there is no ready-made one at home now."

Qi Yourong was unwilling when he heard it, "Look at what the second brother said, there is no ready-made one, so it's fine to make it now. You can't make dinner at home? Second brother doesn't want to entertain his brothers for a light meal?"

Qi Younian sighed secretly, and explained: "That food is called Tanhua, and it needs to be fermented with old flour and corn flour to make it soft. The leaves are always made when the dough is going to bed the night before, and it is easy to use the next morning Even if the noodles are made now, I won’t be able to eat dinner.”

Is that so?Qi Yourong's face showed displeasure, and he muttered, "Second brother is really, our life is hard, you and eldest brother have a good meal, and you don't want to have a brother who eats chaff."

Qi Younian said helplessly: "Then let's do it tomorrow. If there are pancakes left at the stall tomorrow, I'll ask Ye Zi to deliver them to you. Is this all right?"

Qi Yourong immediately cheered up, "Okay, okay, what's wrong with that? And, second brother, if there is any leftover rice tofu, please bring it together too. Our family is not particular about it, you can eat it hot, not too cold .”

The rice tofu from the second brother's family is loved by adults and children in the family. It should be more popular than corn pancakes. It would be even better if they had both. They can also eat the food of the rich in the county.

When he came out just now, the old woman and daughter-in-law were talking nonsense about the food business of Erfang's family, saying that Erfang was about to live a better life.It would be even better if the second elder brother sent the food that was sold for money in the county to his home, and the family members could have a few mouthfuls of good food, which would save them from being annoying.

Now that the delicious food is settled, Qi Yourong is not greedy for the wild vegetable pancakes from the second brother's house, so he left after sitting for a while.

Before Qi Yourong went out, he bumped into Qi Cheng who was carrying a load of firewood into the door. Seeing Qi Cheng who was always helping the second room with manual work, Qi Yourong didn't feel uncomfortable at all, and said hello cheerfully: "Chengzi is here!" Already."

Without waiting for Qi Cheng to reply, he went home contentedly and leisurely.
