Happy peasant girl

Chapter 33 Greenhouses
"That's right, I plan to open a small restaurant in Fu'an Town. Since the tofu business has been completely handed over to the clan, our family should also have its own business." If you want to leave Dameishan, you must first leave Linjia Village , and Fu'an Town is the first stop of Linqing River.

Lin Qingfei also thinks Lin Qingxi's idea is good, especially yesterday when he just found out that Fuxiuzhuang suddenly closed, and Jinniang and her maidservants and Xiuniang disappeared overnight in Fu'an Town, no one knew Where did they go, and Jinniang's disappearance for no reason undoubtedly cut off the last source of income for Lao Lin's family.

Although there are other embroidery shops that can be found, Linqingxi intends to spend more time in the fields, and also plans to open a restaurant to make money, so she doesn't want to think about embroidery for the time being, and the old Lin's family didn't say that she should continue to embroider make money.

"Xi girl, opening a restaurant is not a trivial matter, you must discuss it with grandpa and father!" Lin Qingfei refolded the paper Lin Qingxi gave her and put it away.

So, after finishing the work in the field, the three brothers and sisters went home, and at night, Lin Qingfei told the other family members about it.

It's not that Linyuanshan doesn't agree to open a restaurant, he's just worried about many issues, such as how big a house the family's money is enough to buy in Fu'an Town, where to find a master cook, and finding an accountant, manpower is also a problem .

"Grandfather, let's open a small restaurant with unique characteristics. We don't need to find any cooks. I think the second brother cooks delicious food. It's enough to train him to be a chef. As for the accountant, the third brother I also heard that there is a private school in Fu'an Town, if our family opens a small restaurant in the town, the elder brothers can also go to the private school to study." Although Linqingxi doesn't know many traditional characters, she is diligent Eager to learn, Linyuan Mountain has taught her everything she knows these days, but she feels it is far from enough.

As soon as they heard the word "study", the men, women and children of Lao Lin's family fell silent. Speaking of which, there are not many literate people in the village, but there are several in Lao Lin's family. Why do you value Lao Lin's family?

"Xi girl, what is 'characteristic'?" Lin Qinghai is not interested in blacksmithing, but he is not only interested in cooking but also has talent, but Ye and Mu have never allowed him to enter the kitchen, so he showed his There are not many opportunities.

Two days ago, he saw that Lin Qingxi was working hard in the field, so he went to the kitchen to cook her a bowl of wild vegetable soup and a dish, which made Lin Qingxi give him a thumbs up, actually he knew , his sister's cooking skills are much better than his, but she doesn't have many opportunities to cook.

"Second brother, there is no tofu in other villages, but our village has tofu, which is called special feature. Now when outsiders mention tofu, they always say Linjia village tofu or Linshi tofu, which is special feature. I think so, since we The village is now making tofu, so let’s open a restaurant that serves tofu as a special dish first. On the one hand, it can be regarded as helping the villagers, on the other hand, we can also make money ourselves, and save the time of making tofu, isn’t it? Kill two birds with one stone." Lin Qingxi said with a smile.

Linyuanshan was also moved by Linqingxi's words, but he still had concerns: "Xi girl, your method is good, but selling only tofu dishes is too simple, and the number of customers will definitely decrease. of."

"Grandpa, don't worry! The old man told me a lot of secret recipes for making tofu. I can teach my second brother all by himself. I believe that my second brother can make delicious tofu that no one else can make." Lin Qingxi Said very confidently.

"Xi girl, your second brother is a man, and cooking is a woman's job. Can't you teach it to your mother and your two sister-in-laws?" Mu still thinks that cooking is a woman's job, and men should not interfere.

"Mother, no! You have to take care of this family, two sister-in-laws and two little nephews to take care of. If the restaurant opens, there will be a lot of people in the back kitchen. What should we do with this big stall at home? Besides, which restaurant is the owner of? The chef is not a man, since the second brother likes to cook, why don't you give him a chance to show off his ability?" Lin Qingxi said what he thought in his heart, and said it out of his mouth.

Lin Qinghai was afraid that Mrs. Mu would object again, so he hurriedly said: "Mother, I like cooking, and I have loved it since I was a child! I know that grandpa, grandma, and parents have never treated their children badly, but I always feel that I am quite useless. Yes, I am not as good at studying as my elder brother, and I am not as smart as my third brother, and I am not even as good as the other three younger brothers. These years, no matter how hard I try, it seems that I am far behind a few brothers. Now, even my younger brother No sister can compare. Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, I really want to make a career, what's wrong with being a cook, there are imperial cooks in the palace, just give me a chance!"

Lin Qinghai's heartfelt words touched the hearts of his family members. Speaking of it, because of his blunt temper and lack of determination in doing things, Lin Yuanshan and the others were always a little worried about him, treating him as an immature child. But what he said today can be regarded as a starting point for his maturity.

In the end, the family agreed to let Lin Qinghai study cooking skills, and that night, Lin Yuanshan wrote the pen, Lin Qingxi dictated in a low voice, and soon wrote a thick and thick Lin's recipe, which has been used by the old man ever since. The Lin family became a family secret, and until many years later, only Lin Yuanshan, Lin Qingxi and Lin Qinghai knew the contents above.

The next day, Lin Qingyun closed the Linjia shop in Xiao'an Town, and went to Fu'an Town with Lin Qingfei to find out if anyone wanted to sell a house.

Nowadays, many men and women in the village are busy making tofu, so there are fewer people visiting. Linqingxi heard that the reputation of tofu has spread throughout the Yunzhou Prefecture. The patriarch and several clan elders are planning to Open a tofu shop in Yunzhou Fucheng.

The life of the people in the village is getting better, so naturally they will not focus on the old Lin's house, so Lin Qinghai is at ease in his small kitchen to study cooking skills, while Lin Qingxi stays at home in order to taste his results as soon as possible.

Now that she no longer needs to embroider, she has more time. After several months of recuperation, Lin Zhongguo can stand up and walk a few steps on crutches.

"Sister, grandpa said you didn't sleep last night, aren't you sleepy? Why did you get up so early?" Lin Qinghe came out seeing Lin Qingxi with big dark circles under her eyes.

"Grandfather and Second Brother didn't sleep either, I'm fine! By the way, Fifth Brother, do we grow a lot of bamboo in our village?" Linqingxi found a small bench and sat under the jujube tree in the yard.

"No one grows bamboo in the village, but there are many wild bamboos on the mountain. Why do you ask this?" Lin Qinghe also moved a small bench and sat down beside Lin Qingxi.

"It's nothing, I plan to build a kind of greenhouse near the foot of the mountain, I need some very strong and resilient bamboo, and then plant some vegetables in it, so that when our restaurant opens, we don't have to buy those extremely expensive vegetables. "Linqingxi has visited the vegetable market in Fu'an Town. The price of vegetables there is as expensive as the price of meat, and ordinary people can't afford it.
