Nongmen fierce girl head chef

Chapter 635 Holiday, Shopping

Xia Zheng originally planned to ride back to Beijing alone, but Lin Yuan couldn't help but prepared a bunch of things for him, so he had no choice but to drive back in the carriage.

Leaning on the side of the carriage, Xia Zheng looked resentful, it was all because of these gifts, otherwise he would have been able to ride back on horseback, and he would have been bored with Lin Yuan for another day.Well now, the carriage was so slow that he had to leave a day earlier.

Feeling sullen and having nowhere to vent his anger, Xia Zheng squinted at the big and small bags in the carriage. Who were these gifts for? He would vent his anger on whoever he returned.He didn't dare to mess with the old man in the family, but it didn't mean he couldn't mess with his elder brother.I heard that his elder brother bought a house with a beautiful scenery in the outskirts of the city. Well, he will go to the house to have a look at it when he goes back. If he likes it, he will take it directly.

In a large mansion on the outskirts of the capital, someone was enjoying the snow scene with his fiancée when he suddenly got a jolt.

Xia Zhen rubbed her nose, wondering when she became so vulnerable, when she suddenly slipped and stepped into a dark pit full of snow.

The fiancée exclaimed, Huo Han Wen Nuan felt distressed.

However, Xia Zhen's heart fluttered: it was the first time I came to visit the garden and encountered such an unlucky thing, why do I always feel uneasy?
Xia Zheng left after all, in order not to make Lin Yuan feel sad, he was so impassioned when he left, hid in the carriage and never came out again.However, only the six sons driving the car knew that after hiding in the car, someone suddenly drilled a hole in the back of the car with a knife, looking pitifully at Lin Yuan's cute little face through the small hole.

If he hadn't seen his young master's actions through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, the six sons would have thought that there was something wrong with the new carriage.

Originally, Lin Yuan planned to ask Lin Yi to drive back to Beijing, but Xia Zheng was worried about leaving her alone in Zhuma Town, and insisted on asking Lin Yi to stay and protect her personally, so he refused to let Lin Yi go out.

Received Xia Zheng's gaze, Lin Yi nodded calmly on the surface, but in his heart he wanted to scold the world, what kind of personal protection, it is obviously a personal supervision, supervising a certain horse not to sneak in and pry him The corner of the second young master of the family!

After sending Xia Zheng away, Lin Yuan was inevitably lost for a while, but she still had to live her life well. The Chinese New Year was coming up in a few days, so she had to take action to prepare for the New Year.

After entering the twelfth lunar month, almost every day is preparing for the New Year. Isn’t there a nursery rhyme that says this?Lin Yuan didn't pay attention to this before. She didn't remember the whole content of the nursery rhyme for a long time, but only remembered a few sentences in it sporadically, such as 23 sticky melon, 24 cleaning the house, 25 making tofu, and 26 cutting the meat.

Although the people here are not so particular, it is not at all ambiguous to prepare for the New Year.There are more and more vendors setting up stalls on the street, some selling red candles, some selling game, and some selling homemade sugar cakes.

Lin Yuan is now managed by a shop, so she no longer needs to make some snacks and go out to sell them as before. However, she is still very moved when she sees the hawkers on the street who are working hard. Fortunately, when she came here, there was no Catch up with winter, otherwise the whole family will freeze to death before starving to death.

During the Chinese New Year, every family will prepare some fresh pastries, so Daohuaxiang's business has increased a lot at the end of the year.

Lin Yuan specially gave everyone a holiday on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. Of course, everyone’s red envelopes are also indispensable. Not only are there red envelopes to take, but Lin Yuan also specially bought three big fat pigs from Zhurourong. Divided ten catties of pork.

Holding a heavy red envelope and a large piece of fat pork, Mrs. Luo giggled, and leaned over to Fifth Sister Bai, nudged her with her elbow, and winked: "I said, sister, I have to take this silver when I go back this time." It’s all given to your man, don’t hide it by yourself.”

Fifth Sister Bai's face flushed a little, and she couldn't help laughing when she remembered the way Sister Luo scolded her the first time she got a red envelope to give to her man.

After getting along with Mrs. Luo for a long time, she has also figured out this woman's temper, and she has been more or less infected. She lost the shy look when she first got married, and said with a big grin: "That can't be done, I have to hide it." Get up, and this meat also needs to be hidden."

Mrs. Luo continued to tease her: "Yes, yes, it's good to hide it. When your man is not at home, you can take out the meat, chop it up and eat it. And the money is enough for you to find another handsome boy." Lah, haha."

Fifth Sister Bai didn't dare to answer these words, her little face immediately turned red, and she broke her mouth, "You're the one looking for little white face!"

Seeing the group of people laughing together, Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing too.Although Sister-in-Law Luo's words were incoherent, she was a very nice person.Otherwise, Lin Yuan would have driven her away long ago, just like driving away the big trumpet.

On the first day of Daohuaxiang's opening, Lin Yuan said that she would invite everyone's family to Fumanlou for a good meal at the end of the year.At that time, everyone smiled and revealed the past, but they didn't expect that it would really be the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Lin Yuan clapped her hands and said with a smile after everyone calmed down: "Since the opening of Daohuaxiang, everyone has worked hard. Here I also thank you for your hard work in the past few months. As I said, I will invite everyone to eat at the end of the year." Have a big meal, tomorrow night, Fumanlou, bring your family, you have to go!"

What she said was impassioned, but the people listening were a little stunned. They did remember what Lin Yuan said, but they didn't expect Lin Yuan to remember it herself.Before coming to Daohuaxiang, except Fifth Sister Bai, who didn't go out to do work, everyone else worked in other people's homes, so they naturally knew what the owner was like.

After a while of silence, Liangzi was the first to say with a smile: "Well, boss, what you said is true?"

"Of course it's true. When did I, your boss, joke with you?"

Liangzi chuckled, why didn't you make a joke, didn't you make everyone laugh when you came to the store.

Outsiders all know that Lin Yuan is a tough shrew, but only those who have been with them for a long time know that Lin Yuan is actually only cruel to the enemy, but very affectionate to her own people.

When Ryoko asked this question, the others boldly followed suit.

"Can you really bring your family with you?"

Lin Yuan smiled and nodded.

"Can I take my little grandson with me? He has never been to a restaurant for dinner when he grows up." Aunt Chen looked at Lin Yuan expectantly.

The corners of Lin Yuan's lips curled up: "Don't just take your little grandson with you, your wife, son and daughter-in-law, take them all with you."

"What? What about the old man?" Aunt Chen was quite excited, but then she curled her lips and snorted, "I won't take him with me, who made him order me to work all day? How about I this time?" It's easy to turn over, but I have to let him see my face!"

Mrs. Luo immediately interjected: "Yes, let uncle beg auntie well, if he doesn't beg, then let him stay at home and eat crispy rice! Haha."

Lin Yuan burst into laughter, this Sister-in-law Luo is really a wonderful person, she said something to relieve Aunt Chen's anger, but in fact, it meant to let her bring her wife with her.

Sure enough, Aunt Chen finally let go after laughing: "The rice crust is a good thing, I have to make it for him alone, he is so beautiful!"

Several people chatted and laughed a lot, but no one let go and said that they would bring their families to dinner.Lin Yuan knew that everyone was somewhat embarrassed, so she winked at the loud voice sitting next to her.

The loud voice is now Daohuaxiang's leader, except for Lin Yuan, she is the most effective speaker.But she is not a bully, so she gets along very well with the people in the store.

Understanding the meaning in Lin Yuan's eyes, she smiled loudly and said, "It's just that my eldest son is working in the town, and Yao'er also rested yesterday, so I won't fire tomorrow night, just wait to follow You've eaten well."

With a loud voice, the others naturally agreed.

Although after the New Year, Meng Liangdong will go to Chengnan Academy to be a teacher, but his wages are still paid according to the standard of accountants.Here, teachers are not very powerful roles, so they can only earn some students' salary, and the imperial court will not pay them wages.That's why the situation of accepting bribes in the Zhuma Town School is so serious.

"Mr. Meng, don't forget to bring Sister Mo with you." Lin Yuan looked at Meng Liangdong with a half-smile, and raised her eyebrows as a "good intention" reminder.

As expected, Meng Liangdong's frozen face, which has remained unchanged for thousands of years, finally showed a flaw.

Liangzi giggled, she didn't know what she was muttering to Daniel in a low voice, but she could guess from the radiant eyes that she must be talking about Meng Liangdong's affair.

For a moment, Lin Yuan really wanted to go over and listen to what they were talking about, but she was concerned about her status as the boss, so she finally endured and couldn't bear it.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, only Uncle Wang kept his head down and didn't respond, and occasionally Da Niu leaned over to talk to him, and he would nod in response.

Lin Yuan knew that this year must be difficult for his family.The eldest daughter suffered a sudden misfortune, and the younger daughter entered Li's house for revenge, so she could only stay home for two days during the first Chinese New Year.Coupled with the fact that his wife's health is getting worse, Uncle Wang is definitely not feeling well.

Lin Yuan didn't know how to comfort him, the only thing she could do now was to do her best to help Pan'er.

Because most of them lived in the town and had to go out to work at noon, Lin Yuan specially set the dinner party for the evening.Since it was a family reunion, if Lin Yuan, the host, did not bring family members, I am afraid that others would be ashamed to bring family members.Therefore, she had asked Lin Yi to go back and bring Lin Wei and Xiao Linshuang over. She originally planned to bring Lin Jiaxin and his wife together, but the little brother caught a cold because of the snow, and Liu was worried about her son, so she stayed Watching the kids at home.Lin Jiaxin's legs and feet had just recovered, and Liu was afraid that the snow would hurt him too much, so he didn't let him come.

In this way, only the three sisters were left in Lin Yuan's family.But it didn't seem right for the child to come forward, Lin Yuan thought about it, and finally called Lao Fan.As Xiao Linshuang's master, Lao Fan can be regarded as the elder of the Lin family.

The dinner was scheduled for the next night, and the three sisters had nothing to do during the day, so they went shopping.Although Lin Jiaxin and his wife did not come to the town, they made a shopping list for them, and the responsibility of purchasing new year's goods was handed over to the three sisters Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan flipped through the few pages of the list in shock. She had never bought New Year's goods before, and she didn't know that there were so many things to buy for the New Year.Don’t you have meat and noodles at home, why do you still buy them?And once you buy it, it costs tens of catties.

Seeing that the elder sister was frowning tightly and looked puzzled, Lin Wei leaned over, followed her gaze, and explained: "The meat is not only for us to eat, but also for giving away."

After she said this, Lin Yuan remembered that during the Chinese New Year, their family had nothing, and they had to rely on the neighbors in the village to help them get through the New Year.She still remembers that one year was particularly cold, and the harvest in the village was generally bad. Their family lived on the pig bones given by an uncle.The soup was made with pork bones, and some cornmeal sent by each family was put in it. The whole family gathered around a small table to celebrate the New Year's Eve.

Speaking of this, Lin Yuan became angry, because on the first day of the new year, when the three sisters were led by Lin Jiaxin and his wife to the old house to pay New Year's greetings, they saw a pot of pork and cabbage on the table. A lot, but after all, it is meaty, after all, it is much stronger than them.

At that time, the family had not yet been separated, but because Lin Jiaxin insisted on taking his wife and daughter alone, Yang did not allow them to go back for dinner, and did not even invite the family to enter the house on New Year's Eve.

Lin Yuan sighed, and felt that she was finally elated. This year, they must live a good life, especially let the people in the old house see who is really living a good life.

Putting the shopping list into her bosom, Lin Yuan greeted her two younger sisters, then boarded the carriage and went out.In fact, there were quite a few things on the list that Fumanlou's buddies could go out and buy, but this was her first purchase of New Year's goods after all, and Lin Yuan still wanted to do it herself.

Pork, rice noodles, etc. must be bought in advance. As the New Year approaches, every household has to buy these things. If you go late, you may not be able to buy them.

Rice noodles are easy to say, Daohuaxiang needs a lot of rice noodles every day, and now that the owner has come to the door in person, the suppliers will naturally not ask for random prices.

As for pork, Lin Yuan only believed in pork meat.

From a distance, I saw Lin Yuan and sisters coming in red and green. The Zhurourong couple smiled at each other and greeted them.

Zhu Rourong's daughter-in-law is a virtuous daughter-in-law who doesn't like to talk, and after saying hello, she sat aside with a smile and settled the accounts.Zhu Rourong, on the other hand, chatted loudly with Lin Yuan.

"Girl, how did the two little piggies I sold you look like?"

Hearing him ask about the two little piggies, Lin Yuan was immediately taken aback. It was true that she bought the pigs, but she was not the one who fed them.

Before Lin Yuan could speak, Lin Wei smiled first: "Uncle, we can't call them little piggies anymore, they've grown up so much."

As he spoke, he made gestures with his hands.Lin Yuan frowned and took a look, imagining what the two pink and tender little pigs looked like now.

Pork Rong raised his eyebrows: "So big? The feed is good! You can slaughter and eat meat next year. Come to me when the time comes, and uncle will kill the pig for you. I dare not say anything else, it's just about killing pigs." , No one else can compare to your uncle and me."

As soon as he said that he wanted to kill pigs for meat, Lin Wei's face immediately changed, and she waved her hands again and again: "No, no, I plan to let them have piglets, so I can't kill them!"

Zhu Rourong was talking, and he was not idle about chopping meat. With a slash of the machete, the two ribs were separated.Throwing the ribs on the chopping board, he said with a smile, "Little piglets? Does your house have such a big pigsty?"

Lin Wei nodded: "Yes, yes. There is a large piece of moving land next to my house. I plan to expand the pigpen to raise piglets."

After listening to Lin Wei's suggestion, Lin Yuan silently nodded in agreement. Raising piglets is good. In the future, making a roast suckling pig will definitely become a signature dish of Fumanlou again.

but.

Lin Yuan turned her head and glanced at Lin Wei. If this weak and kind-hearted little girl knew that the little piglets she had worked so hard to raise could not even reach adulthood in the end, she wondered if she would cry again. It's raining.

After silently apologizing to Lin Wei in her heart, Lin Yuan negotiated with Zhu Rong about the pork she wanted.

After ordering the pork, the three sisters went shopping again.

There are still many things to buy on the list. Besides food, there are also many scattered things, such as red candles and window grilles.Fortunately, these things were sold on the street, and the three sisters Lin Yuan didn't have to go to other shops to find them. They bought things while wandering along the street.

Xiao Linshuang now knows more characters than Lin Wei because of studying medicine, so the list is naturally placed in her hands.The little guy holds a list in one hand, and a charcoal pencil in the other, and crosses off the list as soon as he buys one.Sometimes when he saw something on the list that the two elder sisters didn't find, the little guy would point to it and call them. This anxious and professional housekeeper attracted the attention of many people.

After walking around the street, the three sisters basically bought everything they wanted to buy.Ji Dong drove the carriage and followed behind, turning into a coolie.

Xiao Linshuang crossed out another item with a charcoal pencil, glanced at the list quickly and seriously with big eyes, and said very seriously: "I have basically bought everything that should be bought, so far, the only thing left is these cloths. Well, these cloths can be purchased in Sister Mo's cloth shop, and I am more at ease about Sister Mo's things."

Seeing her appearance as a little adult, Lin Yuan secretly laughed with Lin Wei.

"Since the butler has spoken, let's go to Sister Mo's shop to pick out cloth." Lin Wei pursed her lips, and made a gesture of obedience to Xiao Linshuang.

Xiao Linshuang knew that her sisters were teasing her, so she was neither angry nor ashamed, and nodded pretendingly with raised eyebrows: "It's still early, don't worry. Why don't we go eat something to fill our stomachs first."

puff.

Lin Wei almost sprayed her saliva on Xiao Linshuang's face.
