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

Chapter 39 The second day of opening
After the family had dinner, old man Li was impatient: "Hurry up, tell me about today's situation."

"Father, we're all exhausted today." Li Mingzhi hurriedly said.

"Who told you to say this?" Old man Li said anxiously.

"Can you still care about your children, my father!" Li Mingzhi said mischievously.

Old man Li waved his hand: "Okay, I know you guys have worked hard today, so hurry up and go back to your room to rest."

Zhao Yunlan couldn't help smiling: "Father, mother, our business is very good today, fifty tea eggs are not enough, little sister, come and report to parents."

"Okay, sister-in-law." Li Mingmei opened the money box and spread out the account book. Old man Li's eyes were straightened, and Wang was also very surprised.

"Today we collected a total of 220 copper coins, of which 35 bowls of hot and sour noodles were sold, 72 tea eggs were sold, and [-] were given away. bowl."

"Hot and sour noodles sold more than 100 bowls!" Old man Li exclaimed.

Zhao Yunlan: "Well, Dad, after all, we sell two meals for breakfast and lunch, and the price has been reduced this time. Speaking of it, there are not many."

Old man Li nodded, "But today there are more than one or two taels of silver."

"Yes, sister-in-law said that she might be busier tomorrow." Li Mingli echoed.

Mrs. Wang: "Well, you guys should go to bed earlier, Xiaobao should stay in our room tonight! Lan Niang, you can have a good rest."

"Well, thank you mother, Xiaobao has to behave well with grandma!"

Zhao Yunlan patted Xiaobao's head.

Xiaobao replied in a childlike voice: "Mother has worked hard, go to bed early, I will sleep with grandpa obediently. Baji~." Give Zhao Yunlan a loving kiss.

Zhao Yunlan made tea eggs and went to bed.

Zhao Yunlan and the brothers and sisters of the Li family slept as soon as they touched the bed.

Zhao Yunlan almost didn't wake up in the morning.

On the bullock cart, Zhao Yunlan encouraged everyone, "Come on everyone."

"Well, come on!" It's not the first time that the Li family brothers and sisters have heard Zhao Yunlan say the word "come on", and they already understand what it means.The four of them yelled and cheered together.

When Zhao Yunlan came to the shop, they still followed the same steps and arrangements.It's just that the guests came early today.A few customers who were still waiting to give away tea eggs yesterday came early this morning.Zhao Yunlan and the others almost couldn't care less about eating.Li Mingmei first checked the tea eggs owed yesterday, and Li Mingli brought tea eggs to several guest officials.

In fact, yesterday's tea eggs were at a loss, after all, they had to be sent out, and only [-] were boiled, and tea was a valuable item in this ancient time, even though what Wang gave was not high-quality tea.

But these Zhao Yunlan have already been counted. After all, there is a promotional event for the opening. If you don’t make money from tea eggs, you can make money back from other things.

I brought 120 eggs here today, and just after opening the door, more than 20 tea eggs were on the table.

Zhao Yunlan and the others are busy again.

"Bring me twenty tea eggs to take away." A chubby middle-aged uncle was talking at the door of the store.

Li Mingli hurried out: "Uncle, twenty?"

"Well, pack it up for me, our master is still waiting to eat." The fat uncle continued to urge.

Li Mingyi happened to be empty-handed at this moment. Hearing the voice, he raised his head: "Guanshi Xu, it's you!"

"Hey, Li Erlang, this is your shop!" Manager Xu asked in surprise, and looked up at 'Li Ji Hot and Sour Rice Noodles'.

"Well, third brother, put it on for Manager Xu. It's 23 tea eggs."

Li Mingli: "Okay."

Guanshi Xu: "I only want twenty pieces."

Li Mingyi said: "It's like this. Three days before the opening of this small shop, if you spend [-] Wen in this shop, you will be given a tea egg. Adding up successively, Manager Xu is [-] Wen today, and you will get three eggs."

Manager Xu nodded understandingly.

Li Mingyi continued: "Why does Guanshi Xu buy so many eggs?"

Manager Xu: "My old man, yesterday he heard that a servant was eating this, uh, tea eggs, and he got some appetite, and wanted to eat them, but when he came back yesterday, the shop was closed. He sent me here this morning I bought it, and said to let the masters in the mansion eat this together in the morning."

Li Mingyi: "Don't worry, Manager Xu, the tea eggs in my house are kept by Mrs. Xu for an appetizer.

Manager Xu took the egg and left.

Li Mingyi continued to bow his head and face to face, while Zhao Yunlan asked beside him, "Who is this Guanshi Xu?"

Li Mingyi whispered: "The manager of Xu Xiucai's family, the old man he just mentioned is Xu Xiucai's father. After Xu Xiucai passed the exam, it was difficult for Xu Xiucai to get in, and then he gave up. It is said that he has gone through some channels. I became a pawn, and help the magistrate to write documents on weekdays."

Zhao Yunlan nodded and continued cooking the next bowl of noodles.

I prepared more noodles today than yesterday, but they were still sold out, and more than 120 tea eggs were also sold out.

Zhao Yunlan and the others lay down on the table again and didn't want to move. Today, as Zhao Yunlan thought, they were even more tired.

"Sister-in-law, I heard a few guests talking today, and they seem to have rushed over from the county." Li Mingzhi said weakly.

"That's right, sister-in-law, there are several waves of guests who seem to be from the county, and they brought some pot helmets and tea eggs when they left." Li Mingli also said.

Li Mingyi: "No wonder I feel that my hands are more sore today than yesterday. I rubbed a lot of dough today!"

Li Mingmei: "Brother, let me rub it for you."

Li Mingli: "Take a rest for a while! You also stood for a whole day."

Li Mingmei: "I'm fine standing up, but I'm dizzy, and I almost made a few misrecords today."

Zhao Yunlan looked at the brothers and sisters paralyzed there, and said, "Later, let's go to the restaurant over there to pack a few dishes and go back to eat! Today is also a day when I don't want to cook."

Li Mingmei: "Don't, sister-in-law, it's time for dad to tell me. I'll go back and do it. I'm easier than everyone else. I'll go back and do it."

Zhao Yunlan: "You're not that relaxed, and you're still young! It's better to go to the restaurant to buy."

"Sister-in-law, let's go home and eat, let's help make it together." The Li family brothers also refused.

Zhao Yunlan had no choice but to compromise. It seems that the old Li's family was right, frugality is engraved in their bones.

Li Mingyi went to collect some eggs, and the five of them packed up and set off for home.

When he got home, Li Mingyi unloaded the car and took the cattle to the backyard for dinner. The cattle had been kept at Li's house for the past two days, as promised by the village chief.

Several people went to the room together, only to find that the food was already set on the table.

"You guys are back!" Old man Li complained.

"Father, mother, today is busier than yesterday." Li Mingzhi said.

"Mom, how do you cook now? It's not too late when we come back! Don't be careful." Li Mingmei cared about Wang.

Old man Li hummed beside him, not wanting to speak.

"Today's meal was made by your father." Wang said with a smile.

"Dad did it!"

Several people exclaimed in unison.

Old man Li blew his beard and stared: "I'm going to be deaf, why not! Can't you eat the food that your father cooks?"

"No, dad, it's really incredible. Come on, let's have a taste of dad's craft."
