Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 140
Mrs. Yu prepared the meals and invited everyone to take turns to eat.It was the same when the Ning family was in Mayi Town, they treated the buddies as a family, and they all ate and used the same food.Now the two big geese are stewed in an iron pot, with only some cabbage added for decoration, and they are served in a big pot. The pot is full of meat. Yu said: "It's a full pot, everyone Eat some!"

Ning Wan had dinner at Zhao's house yesterday, it was full of delicacies from mountains and seas, and she was supposed to have a lot of fat in her stomach, but after smelling the stewed goose, she became hungry.He sat down, picked up a bone from the bowl, and gnawed on the goose meat. After eating a piece, he said: "Mother, your goose meat is getting better and better."

There are few goose farmers in Sanjia Village. Yu Shi didn't know how to make goose meat before. Since he moved to Mayi Town, he saw goose sellers from time to time, so he learned it. It’s not difficult, the most important thing is to soak the meat with water first to get rid of the fishy smell in the meat, and then fry the meat with goose fat and stew it with sugar, the taste is very good.”

The woman hired to cook in the shop smiled and said, "I was surprised when my hostess took out the goose oil sheet. I only found out later that I need to use this goose oil to fry sugar."

Shi Shi had already sat down to eat goose meat, and now he put down his chopsticks and said, "My mother's cooking is the best!" Putting down the chopsticks, the tone was also very solemn, which made everyone laugh so hard that they put down the chopsticks and rested for a while before continuing to eat.

Only Ning Liang liked Ying He's son the most, "This goose is better than the roast goose on the best table in Wangyuan Building!"

Mrs. Yu's face was already red when she got out of the kitchen, and now it is even redder. Instead of sitting down to eat, she picked a piece of goose for everyone, "I don't know how to do business, so I learned how to cook some goose." What's the matter with the food for you to eat!"

Everyone said: "This is an excellent skill!"

Xiao Liu was the most exaggerated. While eating big mouthfuls, she said vaguely: "What I miss the most after arriving in Liuzhi Town is not my family's food, but the food made by Dejufeng's wife and lady!"

"Then eat more." Mrs. Yu took another goose leg for Xiaoliu, but pointed to him and said, "You see, Sun Gu is married, and you should find a wife too. You are busy outside the shop. Your daughter-in-law cooks for you in the shop, then you don’t want Dejufeng’s food!”

Ning Wan quickly smiled and said, "My mother is right, shopkeeper Liu should have a shopkeeper's wife!"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liu would choke, his face turned red, and he coughed persistently, which startled everyone, so Ning Liang patted him on the back forcefully, "I can't talk while eating, so I'm choking!"

Shi Shi said seriously: "Don't talk when you eat, don't talk when you sleep!"

Everyone laughed again, and they all shut up and concentrated on eating the goose meat. The two big geese ate so much that there was only one bowl left.Mrs. Yu said to the mother-in-law who was cooking: "Add some water at night, no matter what kind of food you put in it, stew it and eat it with rice."

The bill was already settled, and the Ning family came out of Liuzhi Town after dinner, Ning Wan was in a very good mood.The branch store in Liuzhi Town was opened in a hurry, but it happened at the right time, and the business was very good. Not only did it recover the capital, but also bought a lot of livestock and household items. It is conceivable that it will get a huge profit next year.

In this way, Dejufeng can continue to open several branches, and more importantly, the main store should be moved to Hutai County.

Just as she was thinking, Ning Qing asked her coldly, "Wan'er, what are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." Ning Wan shook her head with a smile. Ning Qing's persistence is so admirable. Even if she never told her about the shop, she would come to ask again and again. .

Ning Qing looked at her younger sister with a smile on her face, and remembered how she and Xiao Liu were talking together, and felt even more suspicious, and couldn't help asking: "You don't want to recruit Xiao Liu to our house, do you?"

"What?" Ning Wan couldn't help being stunned by Ning Qing's messy thoughts, "Fortunately, Xiao Liu and Carpenter Wang didn't hear it, otherwise wouldn't they be angry?"

How can an ordinary man be a son-in-law?Carpenter Wang has quite a family business in Mayi Town, and Xiao Liu is also very promising now as the shopkeeper of Dejufeng, very respectable.According to ordinary people's thinking, the Wang family will definitely be unhappy if Xiao Liu is asked to be the son-in-law.Ning Wan has recruited women before, so she deeply understands this truth.

Ning Qing felt that the family already had two shops, Carpenter Wang and Xiao Liu might not be willing, and Ning Wan might not be willing to marry because of her mother's business, so she said: "Although Xiao Liu is good, but he is our family after all. My buddy—even if you become the shopkeeper, you are still a buddy, Wan'er is the boss, if you recruit him, you will definitely make people laugh!"

Ning Qing is still the original Ning Qing, and she will never change. She is afraid that she will invite her to stay in the Ning family to take care of the family business, and Liu Wulang is looking at her fiercely. With a thoughtful look, "I really haven't thought about it, it's not impossible..." Such a sentence scares Ning Qing from mentioning Xiaoliu again, maybe Ning Wan didn't think about it, but she reminded her to make up her mind Recruited.

When Mrs. Yu came home, he quietly pulled Yao Nv and said, "It's not that you don't have a younger brother, so why do you have to hire a wife? It's better to choose someone to marry. Although Xiao Liu is a clerk in my house, she is still good. Carpenter Wang The husband and wife are also people who are going through life..."

Ning Wan just laughed, "Mother, where are you thinking!" Then she said: "Xiao Liu is certainly good, but why does he put his mind on the marriage? He only wants to open the shop well. I am also young. Don't talk about family matters."

Mrs. Yu stopped ringing, but said quietly to her husband: "Wan'er is already sixteen, and she is still young when she mentions marriage. In fact, I think Xiao Liu is really good, and they both like doing business." Xiao Liu said to her family. The girl was interested, and Yu Shi had already seen it, but she didn't say it before, and now she only told her husband quietly.

Ning Liang was more open-minded than his wife, "Since Wan'er is not in a hurry, let her wait. The shop is hers, and she will give her a dowry in the future, so the better the business is, the better she can marry. As for We just pretend we don't know about Xiao Liu."

"That's the same reason." Yu Shi just thought about it.

No one in the family mentioned anything about getting married, Ning Wan was happy and quiet, and was busy with the things in the shop every day.In autumn, Dejufeng made another big business. Two merchants, Gao and Qi, went directly to Mayi Town to pull dozens of carts of hickory nuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts, red fruits, dried vegetables, mushrooms, fungus and so on.

They are already acquaintances if they have been in contact with each other. Gao Qi and the two have also experienced the world. They made a special trip from the capital to bring gifts to the Ning family, including snacks from the capital, new-style cotton satin, and a bag with ink and white silk. It was given to Ning Wan, "The little things the mothers-in-law picked out for Miss Ning." It turned out that the surname Gao was actually her brother-in-law surnamed Qi, and the women in their family were relatives and usually lived together.

Naturally, the Ning family entertained with all their heart. The table was full of sorghum wine from Liaodong, game from the mountains, fish and shrimp from the water, and their own fruits and vegetables.Ning Liang, uncle, eldest brother-in-law, and second brother-in-law accompanied the guests, "Let's stay in Mayi Town today, just drink, if you drink too much, sleep is the best way to relieve fatigue!"

Everyone really drank too much.Naturally, the Ning family couldn't accommodate so many carriages and horses, nor could they live with so many people.Fortunately, Mayi Town was originally a delivery shop. The government built a fort here to pass on news. There was one shop secretary and ten shop soldiers. Whenever there was government official document and military information, it was delivered immediately, day and night, rain or shine.Today, the shop in Mayi Town is still there, but the frontier is quiet and there are few affairs, and many people have built houses according to the shop, and gradually formed a village and town—it is precisely because of this that the name "Mayi" is here. famous.

Gao Qi's two merchants stayed at Ning's house, while the rest of the chariot and horse personnel went to the delivery shop. There used to be a large house and stables there, which were specially prepared for officials and servants. When it was empty on weekdays, Ordinary people can live in it after paying money.

Gao and Qi lived in Ning's house, and watched the loading every day. When they saw something hanging under the eaves of Ning's house, they picked it up and looked at it, "Is this called hanging a golden lantern?"

Ning Liang looked at it and said: "Our name here is Red Mushroom Lady. A few days ago, people in the village brought it to my daughter. It tastes sweet and sour, but afterward it tastes bitter, so people here They don’t eat much, but I like to eat yellow mushrooms.” As he spoke, he took a bunch of similar-looking but golden-yellow fruits from the side to show them, and picked another one casually, peeled off the thin lantern-like outer skin, The bright yellow fruit was exposed, "This is much more delicious, the taste is very sweet, children like to eat it, and can play with it."

"Huangguniang is naturally delicious, and it is also sold in the capital. We have also asked that the price is not much different from that in Liaodong." Gao Qi and the two said, "It's just that the red mushroom girl is not produced in the capital, but there are people. Accept, I don’t know what your selling price is here?”

Mushrooms are very easy to grow, as long as one fruit is left, one can be planted. No family regards them as serious food, vegetables and fruits, just plant some yellow mushrooms in the corner of the garden, and when they are ripe It is also up to the children to pick, eat and play.As for the red mushroom lady, there are one after another growing in the wild, which family will plant them?Just because these things look good, they are like red lanterns. The peeled fruit is very red and very pleasing. The girls like it, so they picked some and hung them in strings under the eaves.

After all, after several years of business, Ning Liang thought about it and said: "Although there is no one in the mountain village who sells this for money, if you want to take it, I will find someone to pick some. It is five cents a catty." It was Ting Wan'er who asked the merchants in the capital to double the price, so he suddenly had the courage to ask for a higher price. According to his original intention, if he received one penny, it would be very good if he sold it for two pennies. Leave room for bargaining.

Unexpectedly, the two of them nodded their heads immediately after hearing this, "Then please, Brother Ning, find someone to collect some red mushroom girls for us, so we can take them back together."

Ning Wan asked strangely: "What do the people of Beijing do with the red mushroom girl?"

Now that the price has been set, Gao Qi and the two are not afraid to say, "This is a kind of medicinal material, which has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. You can drink it with water, and you will see the effect soon.”

"It turned out to be so." Ning Wan nodded. She knew that the world was big and there were many things she didn't know, but she didn't expect that the things she was familiar with would have uses that she didn't know. It can be seen that she usually claims to be more than others I have gained some knowledge, but in fact I am still watching the sky from the bottom of a well.
