Sloth's Home Fragrance of Rice Fields

Chapter 31

Li Yao returned home, took a basket and walked up the mountain. She was still thinking about those grass fruits, whether they were ripe or not?Arriving at the place where the grass fruit was picked last time, Li Yao found that the grass fruit was really ripe, but unfortunately some fell to the ground and rotted.Li Yao picked those grass fruits into a basket, then searched up the mountain road, and found several places where grass fruits were growing. She couldn't help but lament that the people here are really ignorant.She picked off some ripe ones, and took a serious look at the mountain road. Li Yao, who were not yet familiar, planned to come and take a look at them in a few days.

On the opening day, everyone got up before dawn, and Mrs. Chen Yang also came over, killing ducks and chickens.Those pigs are difficult to wash in the water. Li Yao and Xing'er washed them a day in advance, and then put them in the stewed soup and then marinated them. Anyway, the stewed meat is also a kind of cold dish, so it doesn't matter if it is cold.Everyone is busy, and they all have expectations for this brine shop.

After the meat was marinated, it was picked up, and after it was cooled aside, the sky was also bright.Several men in the family helped to put the stewed meat into a pot, and Li Yao picked up a pack of dried lotus leaves prepared by Chen Huang's in advance, as well as knives and sticking boards, and put them into the ox cart .Li Yao also told Chen Huang to water the garlic in the woodshed, and then followed Chen Yang, Xing'er, and Chen Bao's family to the town in a bullock cart, while the others stayed at home.

When we arrived in the town, the other shops were still open, so Chen Bao's family pasted up the couplets written by the elder brother the day before, Li Yao and Chen Yangshi arranged the stewed meat, and Xing'er went inside to boil water.When everything was done, the surrounding shops were almost opened, and Chen Bao's family hung a string of firecrackers by the door and lit them up.

With the sound of "cracking" firecrackers, the owner of the grain and oil store took the lead to enter the door.

"Congratulations! Happy opening! I can even smell the fragrance next door." The owner of the grain and oil store smiled and put a red envelope in Li Yao's hands. Li Yao felt that there should be two copper coins.

"Thank you boss! You are too polite." Li Yao said with a smile.

"Boss, you are so polite! Come, come! This braised pork is for you to drink." Chen Yangshi cut up a piece of pig intestine, smiled and wrapped it in lotus leaves and put it in the hands of the owner of the grain and oil store as a gift in return.

"What's so funny about that?"

"You just take it, taste how it tastes, and if you like it, take care of our business in the future." Li Yao also said with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll go back to the store first, I wish you a prosperous business!"

"Thank you!"

Then the owner of the small noodle restaurant on the other side and the owners of several shops on the street came to give gifts, including the lady owner of the embroidery village. Chen Yang also cut some pigs into the water as gifts in return according to Li Yao's intention, which is equivalent to helping Do yourself a free ad.

"What's this smell? It smells so good." A middle-aged man came over smelling the scent, "Boss, what kind of meat are you selling here? It tastes good."

"Uncle, it's you?" Chen Bao's family stepped forward when they saw the person coming, and said with a grin, "Do you remember me? You bought egg pancakes with me a while ago!"

"Ah! It's your little brother, why are you selling meat again?" The middle-aged man also remembered who this little brother was.

"Yes, uncle, my sister-in-law opened this stewed meat shop. It's not too busy, so the egg pancakes are not sold. This is stewed meat, which is made by my sister-in-law with a secret recipe handed down from home. You heard it , is it delicious? It can be served with wine and rice. Uncle, would you like to try it?"

"How much is your catty?"
