After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 195 Casserole Stew
On Saturday morning, the sky was bright, and with the first rooster crowing, Li Datou got up early and went to the street to buy meat on his motorcycle.

Bacon, eggs, chickens, ducks, vegetables, etc. are readily available in the village.

But fresh pork has to go to the market to buy.

Li Meixiang got up when she heard the movement.

She took out new clothes from the closet and changed into them.

These were sent by Shen Qiuqiu a few days ago. There are three sets of clothes in total. Li Datou's is a set of black chef's uniform, and Li Meixiang and his younger brother Li Jinbao's are waiter's overalls.

After changing her clothes, Li Meixiang turned around in front of the mirror happily.

A Chinese-style slanted top with red embroidered cloud patterns, paired with black suit pants.

It is very good-looking, capable and generous, and it seems that the temperament of the whole person is different.

Standing in front of the mirror for a long time, she didn't come out of the room until she heard a sound from the yard.

Li Jinbao has also gotten up, and is currently busy in the spacious and bright kitchen.

A large pot of water was placed in a large iron pot.

Sitting in front of the stove, Li Jinbao lit the stove, forked the firewood into the stove, and the flames crackled happily.

Smoke billowed from the kitchen chimney.

Li Meixiang glanced at the kitchen door and asked Li Jinbao, "Why don't you wear new clothes?"

Li Jinbao said, "Dad went to the town to buy vegetables. When he left, he asked me to kill the chicken. I was afraid that my new clothes would be dirty."

The children of the poor are already in charge of the house. Although Li Meixiang and Li Jinbao are young, they are used to doing housework. They can do everything from washing to cooking, and naturally killing chickens is no problem.

"Oh." Li Meixiang nodded and went to wash up.

When Li Datou came back from buying vegetables, the siblings had already killed the chicken.

Although the guests didn't come until noon, some dishes that took a lot of time had to be prepared in advance.

Li Datou changed into his chef uniform, put on his apron, and started working.

He is going to cook five big dishes today, braised pork with dried bamboo shoots, pork belly stewed with local chicken soup, cured pork ribs stewed with dried beans, braised pork trotters with soybeans, and braised fat intestines.

These are home-cooked dishes with a farm taste, and they are also some of his best dishes. Everyone praises them after eating them.

However, these dishes are only delicious if they are stewed on a low heat, and it will definitely be too late to cook after the guests order; therefore, he plans to make more in advance and cook them slowly in a large casserole.

In this way, after the customer orders, the food can be served immediately.

It not only ensures the taste of the dishes, but also improves the speed of serving the dishes, and saves a lot of trouble.

For this reason, he specially asked Shen Qiuqiu to buy some big casserole.

When the time comes, put a few large casserole pots in the ordering area at the entrance of the kitchen. The guests will smell the aroma and arouse their appetites.

This can be regarded as a feature of the farmhouse.

Last night, people in the WeChat group booked a total of eight tables, three at noon and five in the evening.

Li Datou thought about it, and planned to make it according to the amount of ten tables.

The more these dishes are stewed, the more flavorful they will be, and they won't spoil. If they can't be sold at noon, they can be sold again at night; if they sell well at noon, they can make another pot in the afternoon without delay.

Li Datou brandished the machete and started chopping ribs and pig's trotters.

Li Meixiang and Li Jinbao stood by to help. Although they were still two children, they could still help a lot.

……

Shen's courtyard.

Shen Qiuqiu had breakfast at home, and was about to go to Li Datou's house to see if there was anything that needed help.

Shen Xiu hurriedly called her to stop, saying that several people in the WeChat group said they would come to pick strawberries this morning, and they should be here soon.

Shen Qiuqiu sighed, if only he had the ability to clone himself.

In the past few days, she was almost too busy to touch the ground.

Of course, the rest of the family was not idle either.

On the wheat field mall, the sales of strawberries have been good, and hundreds of catties of goods are sent out every day.

Every day I have to be busy picking strawberries, packing, shipping, and other miscellaneous things. When there are too many things, I feel a little busy.

Although people from the village were invited to help, we couldn't leave everything to others. There had to be someone from our own family watching.

These days, Grandpa Shen is basically responsible for taking people to the strawberry field to pick strawberries; Individuals are too busy; Shen Qiuqiu is as busy as a spinning top, going wherever he needs to go.

Today, several things came together.

Someone had to go over to the strawberry field to greet him. Although Grandpa Shen was in the strawberry field, he was illiterate, could not use a smartphone, and couldn't greet the young people from the county.

The Nongjiale just opened in a hurry yesterday, and some details were not ready. Li Datou and the others have no experience, so Shen Qiuqiu has to go and watch.

Shen Qiuqiu thought for a while, then turned to ask Shen Xiu, "Sister-in-law, why don't you go to the strawberry field and watch them. When they come, you can say hello."

Shen Xiu hesitated and said, "How do you say hello? I don't know anything."

During those few years in Nanwan Village, she rarely had contact with outsiders, plus she was beaten and scolded by Song Daqiang all the year round, she developed a cowardly character, she was reluctant to contact outsiders, and she was slightly socially afraid.

Shen Qiuqiu said, "You don't need to say hello, just bring them picking baskets, tell them the price, and then remind them not to damage the fruit seedlings, and not to pick unripe fruits.

When they are about to leave, just weigh and collect the money, and then recommend our farmhouse to them. "

Shen Xiu hesitated for a while, and she didn't want to go, "Xiaohua, why don't you find someone else, I'm afraid I can't greet them well... I'm not good at calculating accounts, if I make a wrong calculation and receive less money, that's terrible. What are you doing?"

Grandma Shen frowned when she heard that, and glared at her daughter with hatred, "I'm afraid of this and that all day long. I'm such an old person, and I will make mistakes in my calculations. What can't you do, what can't you learn, say It's you."

After being scolded by the old mother, Shen Xiu didn't dare to refute, she lowered her head and didn't speak.

Seeing her reluctance, Shen Qiuqiu did not force her anymore.

When they were in a dilemma, Shen Jiashu and Song Na opened the door and came in.

This week, the school zooms in on the weekend.

The two just ran into each other in the town, and they drove back together.

Grandma Shen suggested, "Over the Strawberry Garden, let Xiaoshu and Xiaona go over and watch. They have good brains, and they will definitely be able to greet people well, and the accounts will not be wrong."

Shen Qiuqiu disagreed, "The two of them will have exams soon. The high school entrance exam and college entrance examination are both very important. You can't relax too much when you go home during the holidays. You still have to hurry up and study."

Shen Jiashu didn't understand, and asked Grandma Shen in a daze, "Grandma, what's the matter?"

After learning about what happened, Shen Jiashu volunteered and said, "Okay, I'll put down my schoolbag and go. Anyway, I've finished my homework, so it's fine to stay at home."

Song Na also quickly said, "I want to go too."

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Shen Qiuqiu let him go, but Song Na couldn't.

"Xiaoshu can go alone, you should study hard at home, and you didn't do well in English in this exam."

Shen Jiashu has always been in the top ten of her grades, and she has never made people worry about her studies; but Song Na is different, her foundation is not good, and she can only be admitted to a good high school by studying hard.

Song Na began to act coquettishly, "Sister, just let me go. I will bring my English textbook and I can recite words by heart. If there is something I don't understand, I can ask cousin Xiaoshu."

Shen Qiuqiu was worn out by her, so she nodded and agreed.
