The growth of the eldest daughter-in-law of the farm gate

Chapter 37 It's Ready

Fortunately, there was an ox cart, so Zhao Yunlan could return home before dark, and Xiao Bao had already fallen asleep in Zhao Yunlan's arms.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, come in and have a drink before leaving!" Zhao Yunlan greeted the two of them.

"I won't go in, we have to rush to the county to deliver the goods, so hurry up and take the child back in!" Third Aunt refused.

"Hey, Uncle and Aunt, pay attention to safety on the road, so I won't leave the two behind." Zhao Yunlan watched the ox cart leave, and Zhao Yunlan called Li Mingmei.

"Little sister, take these things in. I'll take Xiaobao back to the room first." Zhao Yunlan entered the room after saying that.

Li Mingmei called Li Zhizhi to carry things, Jiang Shi prepared too much for Zhao Yunlan, and she couldn't finish it all by herself.

Mrs. Wang was watching in the room, then turned to old man Li and said, "Look at how honest my daughter-in-law is, she's following her in-laws!"

Zhao Yunlan put down Xiaobao, and changed into comfortable clothes herself. Zhao Yunlan made a set of "home clothes" from the cloth given by shopkeeper Wu before. Li Mingmei didn't like it, so she followed Zhao Yunlan to learn how to make a set. , And helped Wang make a set.The brothers of the Li family looked jealous, so they forced Li Mingmei to do the same for the elder brothers.

Old man Li was sullen for a few days because of this, Mrs. Wang noticed it, and quietly propped up her body to do something for old man Li, and then old man Li became happy.

Although Zhao Yunlan didn't come back on foot, the ancient road was full of potholes, and the wheels of the wheel were not modern shock-absorbing. Zhao Yunlan was bumped all the way morning and night, and her buttocks were already in pain. .Zhao Yunlan's stomach was rumbling with hunger, but she just lay on the bed and didn't want to get up, but Xiaobao next to her was still snoring.

"Sister-in-law, the family has already eaten. I cooked a bowl of noodles for you. Get up and eat some. There are eggs steamed for Xiaobao in the pot. He can get up and eat when he wakes up later." Li Mingmei brought the noodles to Zhao Yunlan.

"Little sister, you are such a caring little padded jacket." Zhao Yunlan was very moved, "Xiao Bao, Bao is going to get up and eat soon."

"Sister-in-law, let him sleep!"

"Sleeping for too long now, it's hard to sleep at night." Zhao Yunlan said, continuing to call Xiaobao.

Xiaobao opened his eyes in a daze, and Zhao Yunlan scooped them up. "Mother~."

"Well, we got up to eat, is your stomach rumbling?" Zhao Yunlan asked Xiaobao gently.

"Well, Gulu Gulu" Xiao Bao rubbed his eyes.

"Little sister, please help me bring the noodles to the main room. Let's go to the main room to eat, have your second brother and the others come back?" Zhao Yunlan continued to ask.

Li Mingmei: "Second Brother and the others came back on time. They said that everything was prepared in the store, and they are waiting for sister-in-law to come back to make arrangements."

Zhao Yunlan smiled knowingly: "Well, my little sister will draw inferences from one example now. Alright, then I'll eat first, and I'll talk about it in a while."

Zhao Yunlan and Xiaobao ate together, and when the eggs in the pot were steamed, Li Mingmei ran to bring them over and helped Zhao Yunlan feed Xiaobao, so that Zhao Yunlan could eat with peace of mind.

Zhao Yunlan enjoys the feeling of being cared for by her family.

After the meal, the family gathered in the upper room. Li Mingyi first talked about the situation of the shop. The tables, chairs and benches were all properly placed, and the damaged parts were repaired. It was just waiting for the opening.

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, everyone has worked hard these two days."

"Where is the sister-in-law talking? It's much easier than going out to help."

"Okay, let me tell you about the preparations for the opening tomorrow. Three days before the opening, the price of our hot and sour noodles has been reduced to three Wen, and it is said to give back to new and old customers. The other prices remain the same. We will not sell the dry noodles for the time being. Guokui will start Sell ​​it."

Li Mingyi: "Sister-in-law, how much is the price of this pot helmet?"

"What do you think?" Zhao Yunlan asked back.

Li Mingyi: "This pot helmet is made of flour, and the meat inside is also full. It's crunchy and fragrant, and it's the only one in Qingshui Town. I think it's priced at six cents."

"Well, then do as you say."

Zhao Yunlan continued: "There is one more, brother, you guys go to the village to collect a hundred eggs in a while!"

"Lan Niang, what are you doing collecting so many eggs?" asked Wang.

Zhao Yunlan explained: "Well, I'm going to bring it back and cook five-spice tea eggs. In the past three days, anyone who spends more than [-] Wen in our store will get a tea egg as a gift. If you order tea eggs yourself, you only need [-] Wen each."

Li Zhizhi rushed ahead of Li Mingmei and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are the delicious tea eggs?"

"Hey, this one, I'll know when I make it."

Mrs. Wang guessed that the eldest daughter-in-law went back to her natal home and thought about another meal, so she must have been taught by Mrs. Jiang.Then he said, "Lan Niang, isn't this what the in-laws did?"

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "No, mother, I figured this out myself."

Wang was dubious: "If this was taught by my in-laws, we can't just use it. I know that my in-laws love you, but..."

Zhao Yunlan: "Mom, don't worry, I know. Just take the egg back."

"Zhao Yunlan thought for a while: "And let's allocate tomorrow's work arrangements.Tomorrow, my second brother and I will be in front of the stove, the younger sister will still be in charge of keeping the accounts, and the third and fourth will help greet the guests. "

"Okay, sister-in-law." The four spoke in unison.

Zhao Yunlan smiled: "Everyone go collect the eggs, and by the way, go to the village chief's house to borrow a bullock cart to use."

"Got it."

Zhao Yunlan turned to Old Man Li and Mrs. Wang and said, "Father, Mother, after three days of busy work, we will go to the village chief's house to pay back the money, and discuss the matter of sweet potato flour by the way."

Old man Li nodded excitedly.

Just as Zhao Yunlan was about to go back to her room, she suddenly thought of something important: "Oops!"

Wang: "What's the matter? Lan Niang."

"I forgot that tea eggs need tea leaves. I didn't prepare this one, hey."

Wang: "You wait." Wang entered the bedroom and took out a small package, "Take it out."

"Mother, what is this?"

"You open it and take a look?"

"It's tea! When did Mom buy it?" Zhao Yunlan said pleasantly.

"I bought it during the Chinese New Year. I wanted Dalang to take it as a gift to my husband, but my husband took pity on Dalang and refused to accept it, so that Dalang could return it and exchange it for money. Dalang never took it back. Just threw it back to me, and when I took it back, the shopkeeper of the tea shop said that it couldn’t be returned.”

Zhao Yunlan looked at the tea leaves, listened to Wang's words, and continued to think about what else was missing.

Mrs. Wang thought Zhao Yunlan was sad because she mentioned Li Mingren, so she hurriedly changed the subject: "You take it and use it first."

Zhao Yunlan came back to her senses: "Yes, thank you, mother."

Zhao Yunlan came to the kitchen, looked at the seasonings, and began to prepare the seasonings for cooking spiced tea eggs.

The second child also bought the eggs back, and charged 110 for two.

"Sister-in-law, everyone in the village is asking about our family." Li Mingzhi said.

Zhao Yunlan: "Let them ask, you didn't tell me, did you?"

Li Mingzhi: "I didn't say it, but everyone knows that we sell hot and sour noodles, but no one has asked about the shop."

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, there will always be people from the village going to the town. This place is only so big, so let's not worry about it."

"I didn't say anything. I took the egg and paid for it and ran away. The egg is not broken yet." Li Mingzhi looked smug.

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, I'm cooking eggs, second brother, you can learn from the sidelines. These are all the seasonings I prepared first. The most important thing about tea eggs is the tea. This tea was given by my mother just now, and I have to return it tomorrow. Go buy some more tea and come back to prepare."

Zhao Yunlan boiled [-] white water eggs first, and boiled the seasoning in another pot next to it, and the tea leaves gradually came out, and when the soup boiled, he turned off the heat to let the pot of soup cool down.

When the white water eggs are cooked, lightly crack the white water eggs, and then soak them in the soup overnight.

Just waiting to go to town early the next morning.

　Let's make an update today. I feel a little down.
