Peasant girls seek happiness

Cheng San and his brothers came out of Cheng Erxin's house, and when they looked back and saw the "Cheng's house" hanging on the door, they were all silent.

The door of a nearby house opened, and there was a "creak" on the quiet street. Someone popped out from the door, and shrank back quickly when they saw the Cheng brothers.

The Cheng brothers were puzzled, and Cheng Wu muttered: "Is this person sick? Do we look like bad guys?"

Cheng Liu kept facing this side, seeing the man's face sharply, he hesitated: "Why do I look at the woman who was shopping with the second brother before this portrait?"

This is a big melon, both Cheng San and Cheng Si looked at him in surprise.

Cheng Wu's eyes lit up, he grabbed him and asked repeatedly: "Really? Did you see clearly? Is it really that girl?"

Cheng Liu pushed him away in disgust, "I didn't think it was really bright, but it looks like it!"

Cheng Wu looked at the door, then at Cheng Zhai, rubbing his chin and thinking: "You said, second brother is so anxious to separate the family, could it be related to this woman?"

There was a voice from the gate of Cheng Er's house, several people hurried into the car, Cheng San and Cheng Wu drove one, and Cheng Liu was about to get into the car driven by the fifth brother, but the fourth brother grabbed him, "You get in the car !"

Cheng Liu watched the fourth brother sit next to the fifth brother, curled his lips, and sat in the next car.

Cheng Si waited for the ox cart to leave the city before asking, "What did you say about the second brother? Tell the fourth brother to hear it."

Cheng Wu flicked his whip and laughed at him: "Fourth brother, are you also like those women who gossip about their wives?"

Cheng Si glared at him: "What do you mean by chewing on your wife's tongue? I'm just concerned about my second brother. You say women chew on their wives' tongues, be careful, I'll tell you third sister-in-law and your daughter-in-law."

Cheng Wu grinned, and muttered in a low voice, "Why don't I know fourth brother that you not only like to chew your tongue, but also complain?"

"Well, it was before eldest brother and father had an accident. If we hadn't seen it today, we would have almost forgotten about it..."

Cheng Wu talked about seeing Cheng Er and a woman shopping that day, "Look at the intimacy, it's not a normal relationship, this time we live so close, what do you think the second brother thinks? Second sister-in-law should know Don't you want to turn the world upside down with him?"

Cheng Si clicked his tongue twice, "Second brother has learned how to play tricks outside all these years!"

He let out a "huh" and was a little puzzled: "Tell me, where did the second brother get the money to learn from others to support a foreign house?"

"Are you so sure it's a foreign house?"

"Hmph, it's not uncommon for your fourth brother to see this kind of thing when I'm running outside. Just watch, there's something going on!"

The brothers didn't talk about it with their mother when they got home, but the matter of moving house and drinking was not settled. Cheng Wu curled his lips: "Second brother must have a lot of money in his hand. There must be seven or eight rooms in the front and back of the house. It’s not too small in the county town. If it’s for nothing, I wouldn’t believe it even if I was killed.”

Cheng San kindly said something for the second brother: "Not necessarily, didn't the second brother say that he only paid a little rent, that's what he meant."

Cheng Liu and Cheng Wu had the same expression: "What about the banquet? Such a good banquet can't cost a tael of silver per table? Anyway, I don't even bat an eye when my second brother takes out the silver. Such an expensive meal? I wouldn’t believe it even if I was killed.”

Cheng Si laughed and said: "Second brother was making a fuss about splitting up the family, I thought about it, isn't this normal? Like me, I have no money, so I never think about splitting up."

The old lady's face was ashen when her sons said each other, she snorted heavily, "Okay, you don't put eye drops on him in front of me. We separated, even though he is still my son , but I can't care too much about him."

It's not that he can't, but that he won't listen to himself anymore.

The old lady is not confused at all, she understands it in her heart!
But she also plans to visit the county in a few days, so she can't just be confused.

She changed the subject and asked, "There's nothing to do in winter now, have you thought about how to make some money?"

Cheng San said to his mother: "I discussed it with my fourth son. We all want to go to the county to see if we can find work before it's too cold. If not, we will collect firewood and go to the city to sell it. It's better to have three melons and two dates than to wait!"

The old lady frowned: "Not yet."

Yang said: "Mother, you should listen to my opinion on this matter first, and see if it works?"

Everyone looked at her, and the old lady motioned to her.

With so many eyes staring at Yang, she blushed a little. She softly called "Chu Qi," and explained to the old lady: "It was discussed by Chu Qi and the others. I think it will work. You can try it. Just Let Chuqi tell you!"

This child is bold, and it was she who first proposed it, so she said it was the most suitable.

Cheng Chuqi did not refuse: "Grandma, uncles and aunts, I have discussed with my sister, brother, sister-in-law, and Yunniang in the past few days. Especially in Nian Gen'er, there are many people who go shopping or shopping in the street. Why don't we set up a stall selling hot food in the county, so that those uncles and aunts who have traveled far to the city can eat delicious hot soup and hot rice cheaply. The family can still make some money..."

Chu Qi didn't say what kind of food to sell, she just had to give an introduction, the Cheng family has many smart people, and they would think of delicious and cheap food.

But what she didn't expect was that the old lady was the first to object when her words came out.

"Go to the town to show your face and sell food, that's not okay!"

Chu Qi was puzzled: "Why?"

"Although our Cheng family said that your father and your grandfather are gone, we are not so downcast that we want your mother and aunts to sell food. Besides, it's okay to sell food and restaurants, but the stalls outside are suffering in the cold weather. It doesn't make any money."

Cheng Chuqi was puzzled, "Don't you think it's embarrassing for my uncles to go to work? Don't you think it's cold or suffer?"

What logic is this?

Yang hurriedly explained: "You child! You don't understand your grandma's benevolence. She is afraid that your mother and your aunts will suffer! But your uncles, your grandma thinks it's okay."

As soon as Chu Qi understood it, she was a little surprised, and praised sincerely: "Grandma, you are such a good mother-in-law!"

The old lady was a little proud, "That's natural, don't say anything else, just say that in this village, there is no other mother-in-law who treats her daughter-in-law better than your grandma and me."

She just gave a thumbs up with a smile, and at the same time complained in her heart: I don't know who the old lady who spoke sarcasticly to her daughter-in-law before was?

In fact, the old lady has a sharp mouth, but her heart is not bad, and the daughters-in-law have not let her down when something is going on at home, so she is naturally willing to treat them better, and the family is more harmonious.

Chu Qi pointed to a few uncles: "That's easy to handle! Let the aunts prepare the food at home, and then let the uncles pull it to the county to heat it up. They are still a little tired and can heat it up." It won’t be too cold, and it can make money, how good it is to kill two birds with one stone!”

The old lady sighed: "You child is thinking too simply. Cooking and eating is something you can do alone. What kind of flowers can you make? Let alone others, it is your grandma. I would rather bring a pancake with me when I go to the county." I don’t want to spend more money. Country people, even if they have to go to the city to buy and sell things in winter, they can save money and save energy.”

Just ride your bike to the bar!
Cheng Chuqi understood, but she still said: "Grandma, you don't want to spend a few pennies to buy hot buns, hot soup and hot noodles. What about you? Anyway, if it were me, I would definitely buy it. The warmth will drive away the cold, It’s warm in the body and stomach, and it’s not expensive, so it’s great to go shopping or sell things after eating!”

Cheng San hesitated, "I will also buy a bowl of hot noodle soup."

Even Cheng San, who has always been thrifty, said that, not to mention her other sons. The old lady looked around and found that no one was unwilling except herself.

She pondered, "What can I sell? If the cost is too high, it won't be worth it."

The family members talked about you and me.

Cheng Chuqi felt that this was the end of her role.

Three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang, not to mention there are so many people in the Cheng family.

After a quick discussion, Niu said: "Hot noodle soup, hot wontons, smashed pork bones and boiled soup. Serve a hot bowl, it must be delicious!"

Mrs. Yang said: "You can also only sell hot soup, put less oil and salt, and a penny is enough for a bowl. For those folks who are not willing to eat, they can eat their own cakes with hot soup, which is also good." of."

The Cheng family members nodded and thought it was good.

Cheng Chuqi praised it sincerely: "Our family members are kind-hearted! Good people are rewarded with good things, so if we work together with our family, life will definitely get better and better!"

Now that the decision is made, let's get to work. Yang has a few taels of silver left from selling jewelry, so it's enough to save money.

Cheng Si and Cheng Wu were in charge of buying cauldrons, custom-made wooden basins, wooden bowls and chopsticks, and renting stalls, etc. Cheng San took three long-term workers to collect firewood, all of which needed to be cooked, and this firewood was indispensable.Cheng Liuze and Yunhui went from house to house to collect cabbage and radishes, but they were enough to eat, not enough to sell.

After everything is ready, the women prepare for the face-to-face at home.There are noodles and big vegetable pier at home. You can wrap wontons at home, roll out noodles, and take them to the county after a little freezing.

Cheng Chuqi turned around a few times, only to realize that Mrs. Yang hadn't made a move.

Niu said, "How can your mother embroider when her hands are rough?"

Did you work before?
"In the past, when she embroidered some simple purse handkerchiefs, she soaked her hands in hot water and then smeared some lard on them, and then started to embroider after wrapping them in cloth for a quarter of an hour. She didn't dare to do the big ones. The one she embroiders now , I saw it in the cloth shop, it’s not as good as your mother’s embroidery, and it can be sold for two hundred dollars, your mother’s is still big and good-looking, I think it can be sold for four to five hundred dollars.”

Cheng Chuqi understood.

Mother said that this time her embroidery will not be kept privately, and all the money from the sale will be handed over to the public, so it is necessary to maximize the benefits.

Chu Qi thought for a while, "Third Aunt, I have figured out a delicious dish, why don't you try it? After you try it, we can sell it for some money if we take it to the restaurant in the county."

Niu gave a curious "yo" and pushed her out, "Don't stand in the way here, you can figure out something delicious if you don't know how to cook? Don't be blinded by these things of mine."

"I don't know how to cook but I know how to eat! Third aunt, just tell me that the braised method I mentioned last time is more delicious?"

Niu thought for a while, "Don't say it's true! It's weird, people who know how to eat are tricky... Okay, let me listen to what you say, and let's try it."

Cheng Chuqi told her how to make the simple fish-flavored shredded pork without chili.

Niu was stunned when he heard this: "Tell me, do you just think about eating melons? Is this oily and sugary delicious? Who would be willing to put so much ingredients? It's delicious when it's made. ah!"
