Reborn peasant girl: I became rich overnight by traveling to sea

Chapter 8 Go to the house to try the food

A new bed frame is always much more comfortable to sleep on than an old bed frame.Chang Pingning got up later the next day than the day before. When he opened the door of the house, Chang Pingning saw Ye Xiuying already standing in the yard sorting seafood in wooden barrels.

"Mom, didn't you say you would take me to catch the sea with you this morning?" Chang Pingning said, walking quickly to Ye Xiuying's side, imitating Ye Xiuying's example and picking out the slightly smaller seafood.

"It's not that you two are young, please sleep more. Your father and I are older and wake up earlier." Although Ye Xiuying said this, she was very happy to see Chang Pingning taking the initiative to find a job.

Her mother-in-law's words reminded Chang Pingning of last night, and she lowered her head in embarrassment: "I don't sleep much, so call me when my future mother goes to sea."

"That's right, mother, take Ning Ning with you to catch the sea, and you can bring back more buckets of seafood." Guo Bomo, who was sorting fish next to Guo Dayong, also echoed.

Guo Dayong next to him laughed "hehe" twice after hearing his son's words.

Chang Pingning knew that Guo Bomo didn't realize what his mother meant, but in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, it was difficult to tell Guo Bomo directly, so he could only speed up the sorting of overseas goods.

Guo Bomo noticed that his wife was working faster, and he also noticed the meaningful smiles in his parents' eyes. He realized with some hindsight that his mother didn't ask Ning Ning to go to sea together in the morning because they last night...

Guo Bomo did not continue to recall, and like his wife, he speeded up the sorting of sea fish.

The four of us started working and were soon out the door.Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the whole family. Ye Xiuying went to wake up her second son and gave him some instructions.

When Chang Pingning came to the yard with her father and Guo Bomo's breakfast, she saw Guo Bomo pulling Ye Xiuying to talk. She vaguely heard a few words "Don't tire her", and her heart felt warm.

The buckets of seafood and fish were placed on the Guo family's cart together. Guo Bomo pushed the cart, and the four of them walked out of the Guo family's house together.At the entrance of Guojia Village, Chang Pingning saw an oxcart. The three Guo family members said hello to the man driving the oxcart. Guo Bomo carried two buckets of seafood and put them on the oxcart.

Chang Pingning, who was sitting on the bullock cart, looked at the two large barrels of seafood in front of him and was already calculating how much money he could sell.Probably because the eagerness in Chang Pingning's eyes was too obvious, she heard Ye Xiuying reminding herself that the town may not be so easy to sell.

Chang Pingning didn't understand why Ye Xiuying said that, but still nodded confusedly.

When they arrived in the town, Chang Pingning thought they would go to the vegetable market in the town, but Ye Xiuying took her towards the restaurant in the town.Chang Pingning guessed that her mother-in-law might want to sell the recipe for sea urchin fried rice to a restaurant first.

Chang Pingning followed Ye Xiuying to the back door of the restaurant.

An errand boy who looked like a handyman walked out from the back door of the restaurant. The errand boy looked like he knew Ye Xiuying: "What good stuff did Aunt Guo bring to us Cyclamen?"

Chang Pingning saw Ye Xiuying's eyes and lifted the straw mat covering the barrel.

"The tide rose sharply yesterday. I saw a lot of conchs, seashells, and large scallops this morning. Can you take a look?" Ye Xiuying reached out and motioned for the restaurant errand boy to come forward and take a look at the seafood in the barrel.

"They're all quite big." The errand boy exclaimed, and then he smiled again, "But it's unlucky for you to come. The store that specializes in seafood just left not long ago, and the ones we brought today are all quite big. I'll go Ask the chef if you need more conch, please wait for me here for a while."

Chang Pingning never expected that he would run into such a snag on the first day he came to town with his mother-in-law to sell seafood. It was not at all as smooth as the sale to the Liu family yesterday.

But Ye Xiuying's expression didn't look abnormal, as if she was used to running errands.

The chef soon followed running errands.

Chang Pingning looked at the two people who appeared in front of him and knew that now was not the time to ask Ye Xiuying.

"Why did you bring sea urchins here?" The chef's eyes fell on the black sea urchins in the cracks of the seafood, and he looked at Aunt Guo in front of him with more doubts. "Aunt Guo's family didn't pay attention when they put it in?" Chang Pingning looked at it. Judging from the disdain in the chef's eyes, they seemed to be treated as shoddy vendors.

"Chef Wang misunderstood." Ye Xiuying hurriedly waved her hand, "It's our new daughter-in-law. She is very good at cooking. She made a dish using sea urchin yesterday. The family thought it tasted good and wanted to ask the chef to check it out... "

"Sea urchin..." Chef Wang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then asked tentatively, "Sea urchin fried rice?"

When Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying heard what Chef Wang said, they knew that the "sea urchin fried rice" recipe they had might not be sold at a high price.In order to obscure the cooking method, Ye Xiuying deliberately did not name the "sea urchin fried rice", but Chef Wang guessed it right away.

"What's so good about a piece of fried rice?" Chef Wang said as he picked out a few large conches and a small bucket of razor clams from two wooden buckets, and looked at the remaining sea urchins in the buckets, "These few sea urchins It's a bit much to give us a little extra, why not pay a penny each? You won't suffer any loss?"

Chang Pingning knew from Ye Xiuying before that sea urchins were not sold at a high price. Sure enough, the price of one penny per piece was much higher for sea urchins.Ye Xiuying readily agreed, and after calculating the price with Chef Wang, she took the money.

Chef Wang directed the errands just now to move the seafood to the back kitchen, and left in a hurry.

Ye Xiuying stopped the errand boy in front of her: "Brother, I would like to know why Chef Wang reacted so strangely when he heard about sea urchins? Will Cyclamen collect sea urchins for a long time?"

The errand boy looked at the two women in front of him. The material of their clothes was very old.He stopped moving and told them that recently a widowed lady came to the shopkeeper of Cyclamen and wanted to be a cook, but the price quoted was too high and she was driven away by the shopkeeper.

However, the names of the dishes she reported were remembered by the shopkeeper, who probably asked Chef Wang to research new dishes recently, including this sea urchin fried rice.

After Chang Pingning heard the words about running errands, the image of Meng Xia vaguely appeared in his mind.There are many strange and rare thoughts in his mind, and Meng Xia is the same.

But if she had been a widow, could she still be attracted by Dong Xiuyuan?
"Thank you for telling us, brother, let me take this scallop back to drink with you." Chang Pingning saw Ye Xiuying handing a scallop to the errand boy next to her.

The errand boy looked very happy and told them that the cook was at the front door of their restaurant after being rejected by the shopkeeper. She seemed to be looking for a rich family to come and work as a cook.

Chang Pingning followed Ye Xiuying and left from the back door of the restaurant. It seemed that Ye Xiuying wanted to avoid the "cook lady" in the name of the errand boy. When she was approaching the front door of the restaurant, she looked around specifically.

"Miss Liu and Manager Liu, please come back. We don't have enough cooks in the restaurant, let alone let them go to your house to cook." A rich middle-aged man's voice came from the other side of the corner.

"Miss Liu, do you want to hire a cook? I'm also good at cooking. If the house is short of a cook, would you consider me?"

Chang Pingning was stunned. This was Meng Xia's voice.

What's worse is that Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying realized that they seemed to be eavesdropping unintentionally.Ye Xiuying coughed a few words and shouted.

"Selling seafood, conchs, big scallops, big and meaty."

Chang Pingning also imitated her mother-in-law's words for hawking.

Two people walked out of the corner.

"Sister, wait a minute..." Chang Pingning and Ye Xiuying were stopped by Meng Xia, but Meng Xia's eyes fell on the lady not far away, "Miss Liu, my best specialty is seafood, especially sea urchin fried rice. There are ready-made seafood here, if you don’t mind, I can go to your house to try the dishes.”
